Data -- or lack of the right data -- may be the Achilles Heel of the digital movement. Successfully making the move to digital nirvana requires data -- lots of it, and in the right places, available to the right people and systems at the right time.
Unfortunately, organizations still do not have a handle on the data challenge. As expressed in a new McKinsey post, "companies are spending hundreds of millions of dollars to transform their data-related IT infrastructures and processes. But for most, the benefits of doing so have been limited to discrete areas of operation." There is also a great deal of uncertainty as to what the potential benefits once the data is surfaced and actionable.
"Critical business information remains trapped in isolated systems," observe the report's authors, Chiara Brocchi, Brad Brown, Jorge Machado, and Mariano Neiman, all with McKinsey. Further complicating things is the necessary talent -- both technical and managerial -- is in precious short supply, they add.
Brocchi and her team do offer a way to organize things a little better -- employ Agile methodologies to identify and get the data that matters to the business. Agile methodologies are moving beyond development shops exclusively and now provide strategic paths for the range of digital transformation activities -- especially data transformation.
Brocchi and her McKinsey co-authors make the following recommendations for bringing the Agile philosophy to the data management side of the house:
Adopt a business-driven approach to digital transformation and data management. This can be accomplished by creating "a master list of possible business use cases for advanced analytics, as well as opportunities for new or enhanced products and processes," Brocchi and her co-authors state. "Take inventory of the different types of data associated with those use cases and opportunities. Identify the most important customer characteristics and activities across a range of business domains."
Promote joint ownership. To break down cultural barriers, "representatives from the business side need to physically sit with members of the IT organization," Brocchi and her co-authors advocate. This helps advance "joint ownership of data-migration and data-management protocols that can help the organization define just-in-time data requirements, quickly validate the business case of proposed solutions -- rather than waiting for approvals to cascade through traditional channels -- and assure the quality of the solution."
Build and empower cross-functional, or scrum, teams. Scrum teams could include "representatives from the business units and IT -- for instance, data scientists, data engineers, business-information owners, IT developers, and quality-control specialists." It's also important to provide these teams "the leeway to make important decisions relating to data migration and architecture. Scrum teams must be fully focused on activities run in the data lab and committed to a test-and-learn approach; they cannot be 50-50 players, nor can they wait for approvals from colleagues or bosses outside the data lab."
Communicate, communicate, communicate -- then communicate some more. "Successes and failures, milestones reached, and impact realized should be clearly and frequently communicated across the company as the pilot progresses and the service is finally released," the McKinsey authors recommend. "In this way, best practices can be codified, and strong project champions can be identified and encouraged." In addition, Agile opens up new communication vehicles as well -- such as "semi-regular forums in which IT and business leaders can convene to discuss important industry trends and topics -- in areas of technical specialization, for instance, or competitive analysis -- and conduct postmortems on pilot projects."
Adopt emerging technologies. Digital and data transformation opens up opportunities for companies "to consider ways to improve current systems and technologies." For example, the creation of a data lake -- a catch-all enterprise repository -- "may require new platforms, tools, and skill sets that must be compatible with the overall enterprise IT architecture. It may also prompt IT leaders to reconsider their enterprise IT strategies, asking questions such as: How can we integrate the data lake with existing systems? How can the tools and platforms used to support agile data be leveraged in other circumstances? Should we introduce open-source technologies?"
Use pilot projects to build acceptance. "IT and business-unit leaders should identify a single project that is cross-cutting and of very high value to the business -- for instance, a data-based service that would help reduce customer churn or improve protections against fraud."
Develop and introduce key performance indicators. "Metrics that are directly tied to agile ways of working are critical for sustaining long-term commitment to agile data," Brocchi and her co-authors state. A key component is "work plans (also referred to as backlogs) are based on weekly or biweekly schedules called sprints." Such schedules "are strictly monitored by a project-management office," with regular updates send to business and IT leaders.


Today we did an interview talking about the green school committee. In the interview we asked about what the committee did to help, how they help and how the people at home could help. We got great answers from members of the committee. In our school we love to do all we can to help the environment!
The interview was recorded as part of our digital literacy programme whereby students take on roles as camera operators, sound technicians and directors.

Updated Delegate Math: What Each Needs
Chris Bowers at Open Left has been numbers-crunching:
Obama needs 471.5 of the 875 remaining delegates, or 53.9%, in order to reach the magic number.
Clinton needs even more, 489.5 of 875, or 56.0%. Both scenarios are extremely unlikely.
Those numbers are very close to each other. Put another way, Hillary is only 18 delegates behind Obama in the race for the next 875.
Chris then makes predictions. But they all start with his (probably educated)guess that the credentials committee will refuse to seat MI and FL because it will have more Obama supporters than Hillary supporters on it. But these committee members like superdelegates can change their support at any time, and not all of them have declared, so I'm not prepared to agree with that. That said, here's how Chris sees it playing out:
What is likely is that the Clinton campaign will push for Michigan and Florida to be seated as is, and use the Michigan and Florida delegations to argue that Obama has not yet clinched the nomination. After June 3rd, they will take that argument to the credentials committee, which gains authority over the matter on June 11th.
From that point, the credentials committee will probably deny the Clinton's campaign's argument to seat both delegations as is, since Obama will probably control the majority of seats on the committee. The next step will be for the Clinton faction on the committee to file a minority report on the delegations, which will then be referred to the full convention.
The full floor vote on the Michigan and Florida delegations will then be a good proxy to determine who will win the nomination on the first ballot. And that is what the convention fight of 2008 will probably look like.
Chris also got this e-mail from the DNC on why they didn't penalize NH for moving its primary date up:
New Hampshire wasn't punished for moving up because the Rules and Bylaws Committee voted to allow NH, IA, NV and SC to move their primary dates after Florida and Michigan moved their primaries forward. So that the was the reason there was no punishment. The RBC members felt that because they (the 4 states) had been granted early state status they should be allowed to move their primary based on FL and MI's decision.
Update: Thanks to a commenter below, I see that on Feb. 12, Chris argued for the seating of the Florida delegates in accord with the Jan. 29 votes.
And for the record, I can't make heads or tails out of his chart. I'm not vouching for it, just putting it out there.

Are hamsters easy to take care of?
Hamsters do require some work, like any pet. While they are not as difficult as some other pets, you are going to need to pick the right kind of cage along with good toys and bedding. Cleaning the cage regurlarly will be a must, and of course seeing to feeding and watering them daily.
Knowing is most of the battle however and preparing yourself with the knowledge contained in this guide should set you and your hamster up for a good happy partnership togather.
How to pick the right kind of hamster.
Their are currently five different breeds of domestic hamster easily available as pets. While all of them share many of the same qualities as hamsters they do each have their own unique personality and care quirks that it is good to be aware of before you pick which one will fit you best.
Syrian or golden hamsters
These are the biggest and most popular type of domestic hamster. The first breed of hamster to be domesticated they were originally advertised in the 1940s and 1950s as little toy bears. While they are certainly living animals not toys still these terms stuck and so they are sometimes refered to as the teddy bear hamster.
They are lively and very fun to interact with, as well as slower then their tinier dwarf cousins. This means they are little easier to handle and train, as they are less likely to escape and run away. The dwarf breeds can be shockingly fast! If your looking for a hamster thats very cuddly and that you can handle more often than the syrian hamster may be what your looking for.
One important caveat however is that they must be kept in a cage alone as they are very territorial and aggressive towards other hamsters. Two syrians in the same cage are very likely to fight each other, possibly to the death.
Dwarf hamster breeds
Roborovski: These little guys as compared to the large syrians are actually the smalled breed of domesticated hamster. Usually coming in at less than three inches long. They are fast and very long lived. 3 to 4 years is there average lifespan giving them the greatest average longevity amonst hamster kind. Due to their small size and agile speed handling them is much more difficult than the syrian. Best for people who would prefer to watch their hamster play in their cage as opposed to frequent handling.
Robos can sometimes be kept in the same cage with their fellows but you must keep a sharp eye on them and seperate as soon as any fighting or agression becomes visible.
Other breeds of dwarf hamsters
Some other breeds are the russian/winter dwarf hamsters, campbells dwarf hamsters and the chinese dwarf hamster.
Buying your hamster
After you have figured out what kind of breed of hamster you want then its time to go to the pet store to take a look.
- Go in the evening: Hamsters tend to be more active in the evening around dusk, so this time will give you a much better look at the healthy and energy level of the hamsters available. If you go in the morning they are much more likely to be sleeping and wont show you their best side.
- Ask if you can take a closer look: See how much the pet store will let you interact with your prospective little buddy more closely so that you can see if you two are a good fit.
- What to look for: Look for a hamster that is fairly active, friendly and inquisitive. You dont want one that is agressive and prone to heavy biting. Also look out for wet tail or poor cage conditions as this makes it more likely they you might get a hamster that is already very sick. Unfortunately pet stores are not always the best place for hamsters.
- Ask the hamsters age and sex: Generally the best age to get a hamster is between 4 and 8 weeks old. This is the best time to get them used to handling and train them to be tamer.
Some other things to get when you get your hamster
- Get a cage: Get either a plastic or wire cage with a solid bottom. It needs to be at least 800 square inches for a Syrian hamster and 450 square inches for a dwarf.
- Get bedding: Avoid any pine or cedar shavings as these are toxic for hamsters. Stick to a non-toxic commercial bedding that is soft and easy to burrow into. In a pinch you can use plain paper that doesn’t have any ink on it
- Get a hamster wheel: Get a solid hamster wheel without any rungs as these can injure a hamster. It needs to be big enough that your hamster can run on it without having to arch their back. Hamsters love to run and its important for them to get plenty of exercises so don’t skimp on their wheel.
- Chew toys: Chewing for a hamster is not a luxury but a necessity. Their teeth are constantly growing and chewing helps to keep them in check as well as alleviating boredom. Get several flavor of non-toxic chews toys so your little guy can have some variety
- Hamster food: Buy either a dry pellet hamster food or a loose seed mix made for hamsters. They can also eat a variety of fruits and vegetable but these should be used carefully and sparingly as they can cause diabetes in hamsters.
Building trust with your new hamster
Your new hamster will be unsure of you at first, its important if you want him to see you as a friend to patiently cultivate trust with him over a period of time.
When you first bring him home and introduce him to his new cage, leave him alone to hang out for about a 24 period. Moving to new places can very very stressful for hamster so you dont want to overwhelm him by handling him a bunch or even friendly harrassment. Make sure to fill his food bowl and refresh their water every day though.
The best way to build trust with your new hamster is to bring them treats in the evening when there awake and more active. Hold the toys or little bit of food in the palm of your hand and carefully place your hand in a part of the cage that is away from their burrowing area. Be patient and allow them to approach your hand and take the treat from you. Try to avoid any sudden movements that might startle or scare. Do this on a regular basis and you and your hamster are sure to be friends in no time.
Keeping your hamsters cage clean
Your hamster if they are healthy should by and large handle their own self cleaning for you but the cage is soley your responsibility.
Every day: Give your hamster some fresh food and water, remove any left over food that looks like it might be rotting. Shake the bedding a little bit and remove any droppings. Make sure for the good of yourself and your hamster to thouroghly wash your hands with soap and water after doing these things.
Once every two to four weeks: Clean their cage. Gently put your hamster in a pet carrier and remove their bedding and scrub their cage clean. Don’t remove more than half of their bedding at a time, as it has their scent which makes them feel safe and happy. Provide the cage with new fresh bedding and then put your little buddy back in.
Illnesses to watch out for
The main disease to watch out for with hamsters is known as wet tail. Its caused by a very contagious stomache bacteria that causes them to have diarhea. The diarhea shows up as a wet tail. Some other symptoms to watch for are lethergy, irratibility and hunched back which can be cause by stomache pains.
If you think your hamster might have wet tail the best thing you can do for them is to take them to the vet as soon as possible. The vet will most likely prescribe some antibiotics and perhaps a saline soluting to help fight dehydrations. Act quickly wet tail is a very fatal disease for hamsters but the sooner treatment begins the better the chances for survival.

Her green gown and matching makeup turned heads but what made her look even more interesting was the hair style inspired the looks on the 1960s. Her short bob was given some flipped out curls making it look amazing. This was a pleasant surprise as the Hollywood It star who we are used to seeing with edgy beauty styles.
Cara Delevingne's painted short hair
Who said a shaved head cannot look awesome? They probably have not met Cara Delevigne. This star dazzled at this year's MTV Movie & TV Awards. She had a geometric design spray painted in silver at the back of her head. It perfectly complimented her black boots and dress which had silver colors portions.

Maximizing for Participation and Value
Offering 60% of the total $BULL20 token supply during the presale underscores our commitment to fostering a broad and inclusive investor base. By making half of the entire token supply available at this early stage, we aim to provide ample opportunity for a diverse group of investors to join our vision from the outset.
To further incentivize early participation and reward our most ardent supporters, the presale is structured in 12 distinct stages. With each successive stage, the price per token sees a modest increase. This tiered pricing model not only encourages early investment but also ensures a gradual and sustainable price appreciation. By incrementally adjusting the token price, we strike a balance between attracting early adopters and maintaining a steady influx of new investors throughout the presale duration, laying a strong foundation for $BULL20's future growth.
Stage duration is measured in tokens sold, not in time. After reaching a stage goal the next stage will be activated automatically by our smart contract.
Please note: only completed and currently running stages are final. Upcoming stages are subject to change at the discretion of the project team.
If you happen to buy $BULL20 right at the end of a stage you might pay two different prices for your tokens.

From his perch on the U.S. House Appropriations Committee and as a member of the House Specialty Crops Caucus, U.S. Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, R-Fla., announced that Florida was getting $4.35 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
On Thursday, Diaz-Balart said that the Agriculture Department was sending the funds to the Sunshine State through its Specialty Crop Block Grant program. “This program aims to enhance the competitiveness of specialty crops through work such as research and agricultural extension activities,” the congressman’s office noted.
The South Florida Republican insisted the funds would help get agriculture get back on its feet in the Sunshine State, noting the impact Hurricane Irma had on it last year and the continued problem of citrus greening.
“Florida’s agriculture industry was battered during Hurricane Irma last year and continues to rebuild after the storm,” Diaz-Balart said on Thursday. “It is estimated the Sunshine State’s agriculture industry has $2.5 billion in damages as a result of the 2017 hurricane season. Damages to citrus, Florida’s iconic crop, total $760 million alone. At a time when the citrus industry continues to combat issues beyond the effects of the storm, such as citrus greening, this money is essential.
“Beyond citrus, this funding will go a long way towards getting our state’s premier agricultural sector back on its feet,” Diaz-Balart added. “I thank Secretary Perdue for recognizing the hard work of our farmers, ranchers, and growers, and I look forward to continue working with him to support them on their road to recovery.”
First elected to Congress in 2002, Diaz-Balart was named to the Appropriations Committee in 2012 and currently leads the U.S. Transportation, Housing and Urban Development (THUD) Appropriations Subcommittee. He faces former Judge Mary Barzee Flores in November. Democrats have high hopes for her against Diaz-Balart. This week, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) named her as part of its “Red to Blue” program which includes its top prospects to defeat Republican incumbents.

It’s New Music Friday! Check out the best in music for this week ending on July 23rd…
In what looks like record temps pretty much everywhere as we hit the middle of one hot and unusual Summer. The music world, it seems has no defined ‘Song Of the Summer’ has truly emerged. As artists hype projects that have yet to drop (ahem, Kanye) and many impressive songs drop weekly (BTS “Butter”). I thought I share my picks of all the best songs in a new weekly format. So here is my New Music Friday picks a bit late but I’ve included a playlist.
From Khalid’s Ambient influenced R&B track “New Normal” speaks of about the changing times and the different seasons that relationships can go through. British Alternative Electronic artist James Blake releases a poignant new track, “Say What You Will”. It’s from his forthcoming September album, “Friends That Break Your Heart”. Goth Pop princess DeathbyRomy returns with her a blistering and raucous take on young love “Day I Die”. While Lorde’s second offering “Stoned at the Nail Salon” finds the singer in a more reflective and mellow state of mind. For more upbeat picks, Lil Nas X & Jack Harlow link up on “Industry Baby”, a super catchy Hip-Hop bop where Nas X continues to explore and push many of the boundaries in Hip-Hop. British rapper and Brit award winner Dave releases a new album “We’re All Alone In This Together” which includes features from James Blake, and Snoh Aalegra amongst others. His U.K. #3 “Clash” features Grime Beats Rapper Stormzy, and is an immediate banger. To hear these songs and more amazing tracks, including, an absolutely ‘fire’ single from an Indian-American Rapper named Raja Kumari check out my playlist below.

Countries in the European Union should mandate a 5% reduction in electricity consumption during the busiest hours. On Wednesday, the European Commission proposed this as part of a crisis package aimed at mitigating the impact of high energy prices. The commission recommended a one-tenth reduction in total electricity demand by the end of March next year. The Union Energy Ministers will discuss a range of proposals at an extraordinary meeting on September 30th.
The European Commission is also proposing to limit the revenues of non-gas-based electricity producers enjoying unprecedented profits amid record price increases, said Ursula Von of the European Commission. Chairman Der Leyen made the announcement on Wednesday.
She said the crisis response will bring in €140 billion (more than 3.43 trillion crowns) to EU member states, which can be used to help consumers threatened by expensive energy. . Fees collected from fossil fuel producers also contribute to the aid, she added.
Five days after an extraordinary meeting of energy ministers, the commission finalized its proposal, urging EU officials to quickly prepare concrete measures to limit the impact of high prices on residents and businesses. Within its framework, the European Commission wants to set a maximum revenue of €180 per MWh for electricity generated from solar, wind, nuclear, lignite or biomass. All money above this price can be used for state aid measures.
Member States should also be helped by the possibility of withdrawing 33% of excess taxable income from this year to oil companies and other fossil fuel producers. This is related to profit this year, which is 20% above the average profit of the last three years.

If you go down to the woods today...you'll find Tervuren, a pleasant if faintly sleepy town about twenty minutes by tram outside Brussels. Its main attraction, Belgium's Africa Museum, is currently closed for restoration, but it still proved to be a nice spot for a woodland walk. Initially, however, there didn't seem to be many options for lunch (one café was advertising steak and chips, but it turned out that we would have to wait until the following day for this weekly - monthly? - treat) so we were relieved to find Au Flan Breton, a small café with a bakery next door.

Some areas of central Brussels are a bit low on decent restaurants, but the St Boniface district is not one of them. After a morning wandering round Etterbeek and Ixelles, the Firestarter (an occasional presence on my old blog), his fiancée (congratulations!) the Perfumer, and I were faced with far more choice than we needed.

LONDON, Jan 23: Actress Kate Beckinsale says she once had a terrifying sleep paralysis experience during which she feared that she had a stroke when she could not move.
“I had one crazy episode of sleep paralysis. I had actual auditory hallucination. I had just had lunch with David Walliams, who is a very good friend of mine, and he’d gone off and I went for a nap, because I was exhausted.
“And I heard him in my hotel room talking to someone and I thought, ‘Oh no, they’ve come in…I went to get up and I couldn’t move at all. I thought, ‘Oh my God, I’ve actually had a stroke. I’ve died…'” Beckinsale said.
The “Underworld: Blood Wars” was left terrified something bad had happened to her, but was assured by a doctor friend that she had nothing to worry about, reported Female First.
“Then I got up and he wasn’t in the room so I called a doctor friend of mine – he’s a neurologist – and said, ‘What just happened to me?’
“He goes, ‘Oh it’s quite a common thing, it’s what they used to think was a succubus or whatever – you can be in a very particular stage of REM sleep and your brain has woken up but your body hasn’t yet. So you can’t move and people will have visual or auditory hallucinations’,” she recalled. (PTI)

Today Representative Mulvaney released the following statement regarding the 11th Anniversary of 9/11:
"It's hard to believe it has been 11 years since our country was attacked and changed forever. It's as important today as ever that we remember.
We must remember almost 3,000 Americans who lost their lives that day. We must remember the service and sacrifice of first responders. And, we must remember the troops who took to the front lines to ensure our freedom and safety. We were shaken as a nation, but our spirit was not broken. We will never forget.
There isn't an American who wasn't affected in some way 11 years ago. I hope you'll join me today in remembering."

Mercy Mercedes - 1.21 Gigawatts
Record Label: The Militia Group
Release Date: September 30, 2008
I've got a weakness for vocalists with fairly unique voices, no matter what genre they belong to. It's even more pronounced in pop albums, which are usually more vocally driven than albums from other genres. Along with the pure catchiness and vivacity of the album, that's why I think I've taken a liking to Mercy Mercedes' 1.21 Gigawatts EP.
Their vocalist Nate Smith may not be a pioneer exactly, and he doesn't have as unique of a voice as someone like Michael Shepard (Lovedrug), but Smith's is different enough for me to take notice. For this type of straight-up sugary pop, his voice fits perfectly; they give the album a different feel, but aren't different enough to make it inaccessible. It was almost a turn off on the first listen through, but once I got accustomed to it, I savored every minute. They're the real highlight of the album, from the super upbeat "Dr. Huxtable" to the slower (but far from ballad-like) "The Perfect Scene," Smith's vocals work well.
This pop is close to as sugary as it gets, but I wouldn't call it immature. They're not reinventing the wheel in any way, but it's some of the best, honest pop I've heard in a long time. That is, it doesn't seem like they're trying to dress up their sound and make it something it's not. They've also avoided something that a lot of newer pop bands seem to beat to death: the overuse of electronics and vocoders. While the electronics are there for some of it, they're kept at a level that isn't annoying, and Smith rarely uses a vocoder. A few of the songs are done with little or no electronics at all, which fortunately adds a bit of variety. The instrumentation and lyrics are what you'd expect from a pop band, but their guitarist does have a few impressive solos throughout the EP. The lyrics seem to follow the same pattern. They're like most other pop lyrics; they may be a little under-developed, but catchy and heartwarming.
I can see why a label as revered as The Militia Group would pick up this band that, on the surface, seems like every other pop band. Even though they may be a dime-a-dozen pop band, they're out there doing it better than the hundreds of other groups trying to. Their songs are catchy, entertaining, and fun, and when they're doing it this well, that's all they need. I'll anxiously be awaiting a full length from these guys, and as long as it contains the same energy and wonderful charm as 1.21 Gigawatts, I'm sure I'll love it.
Your review was pretty spot-on. I actually root for this band because of who they are as human beings. There are no pretenses here. No arrogance, they just play music and that's all. The songs don't exactly provoke thought, nor do they do anything overly artistic or avant-garde. It's clean and safe, and gets the job done. To be a contrarian though, I actually think their live show is something pretty special.

The chief nurse of University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust has decided to remain at the organisation, having previously announced she would be moving to a health board in West Wales.
Liz Rix said that, while she was “really drawn” to Hywel Dda Health Board, she had realised there was still work she wanted to complete at University Hospitals of North Midlands.
“I want to stay on and see us through the next chapter of our journey”
The trust announced last month that Ms Rix would be leaving to join the health board as its new director of nursing.
Ms Rix joined the Midlands trust in 2009 when it was still known as University Hospitals of North Staffordshire NHS Trust, prior to its takeover of Stafford Hospital in the wake of the Francis report into the high profile care scandal there.
Since arriving, she has been credited by the trust for promoting safe staffing levels, improving infection control and reducing pressure ulcer rates.
Safe staffing fears lead A&E to stop seeing children
Its chief executive Paula Clark described her as an “inspirational leader who is respected locally, regionally and nationally”.
In a statement provided by the trust to Nursing Times this week, Ms Rix said: “I was extremely impressed with the teams that I met Hywel Dda Health Board.
“I was really drawn to Hywel Dda and felt that I could have supported them in their vision for the future,” she said. “However, after much thought I realised my work at UHNM was not yet finished.
”Ultimately, I decided that colleagues at UHNM have become part of my family and I want to stay on and see us through the next chapter of our journey,” she added.

How will the Biden deal with South Korea and China?
The next President of the United States understands that the world is facing a double crisis, created by the COVID-19 pandemic and by climate change.
He recognizes that these are problems that cannot be solved by a single country: they require a huge international effort.
Joe Biden therefore plans to bring together friends and allies, including Japan, and seek their support.
Summit for Democracy
I expect Mr. Biden to welcome Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga as a VIP guest at a Summit for Democracy, which he plans to convene, after his inauguration.
The conference will almost certainly be held online, rather than in person, due to COVID-19. The most likely date is February 2021.
During his election campaign, Biden said the summit would help “renew the spirit and common purpose of the nations of the free world.”
The implication is that the United States will resume its place at the head of the table, while other democratic nations will join in with suggestions on how to support their plans, mindful of Mr. Biden’s foreign policy slogan: ” America is back.
I doubt Mr. Suga openly challenges this approach, although he will likely demand a number of concessions from the new president in private.
In return for Japan’s loyalty, Suga will expect President Biden’s unequivocal commitment to the US-Japan alliance – the bedrock of Japan’s security policy – and to stop grumbling about spending. âburden sharing,â which was a hallmark of President Trump’s Twitter feed.
Personally, I find it regrettable that Mr Suga has not been elected Prime Minister of Japan, at least not yet. He accepted the post after being chosen by senior Liberal Democrats politicians following Shinzo Abe’s resignation in the summer of 2020.
Would Mr. Suga not have more legitimacy on the world stage if he had called a general election and invited the Japanese people to vote for him as their representative?
Tricky guest list
I do not envy the Washington diplomatic team that was tasked with compiling the guest list for the Democracy Summit. As the editor of a magazine on Asian politics called Asain’s Business, I see that Asia presents particular dilemmas.
Vietnam is a communist country, but it sided with America against China. Should we therefore invite him? Cambodia, an ally of China, is currently complaining about the pressure to use Chinese vaccines against the coronavirus. Should his prime minister, Hun Sen, be shown the red carpet, via Zoom?
And what about Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-Wen, who has twice been elected national leader and representative of the Democratic Progressive Party?
Despite good relations with Mr. Biden’s Democratic Party, China will be furious if President Tsai attends, as the PRC considers the island to be part of its sovereign territory.
South Korea’s place in Asia
I suspect an invitation to the event will be sent to South Korean President Moon Jae In. South Korea remains an ally of the United States, even though the general opinion in Asia is that it is sinking further. and deeper into China’s sphere of influence.
As the meeting takes place online, Mr. Moon will not be required to shake hands with Mr. Suga, who rejects a Seoul Supreme Court request that Japanese companies should be forced to pay compensation to Korea for historical disputes. Japan says these issues have been resolved a long time ago.
Mr. Moon tells his supporters that reunification between North Korea and South Korea is achievable within a generation, even though North Koreans currently refuse to speak to the South. They blew up the Joint Liaison Office for the Inter-Korean Dialogue in the summer of 2020.
There are also worrying signs that North Korea intends to show Mr Biden that it still sees America and Japan as enemies, either by firing a long-range missile, like the one featured recently. during a military parade in Pyongyang, or by firing more rockets. in the Sea of ââJapan.
Biden and Xi
Then there is the question of China.
China is no more interested in watering down its Communist ideology to suit Mr. Biden, any more than it has been for Mr. Trump. He also doesn’t expect a network of US allies to thwart his ambitions for regional dominance and increased global influence.
At present, Beijing’s propaganda focuses on patriotic pride and ideological purity. The Chinese Communist Party took advantage of its recent annual conference in Beijing hail President Xi as the “main navigator at the helm”. He promised that China “will surely overcome all kinds of difficulties and obstacles on the road ahead” and expressed confidence in the superiority of the socialist system.
China and the United States agree that disease and climate change are pressing issues that require collective action. However, China expects to be seen as the nation most respected for its work for the “global public good,” as President Xi puts it.
China is distributing millions of doses of its COVID-19 vaccines to the poorest countries, even though the formulas have failed to pass rigorous scientific safety tests. China is also the first major economy to recover from the economic impact of COVID, with GDP growth of 4.9% recorded for the third quarter of 2020, official figures show.
China’s climate promises
President Xi has made bold pledges on climate change. He announced that China will aim to peak in emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
However, the new US Special Representative on Climate Issues, John Kerry, noted: âChina is about to bring 21 gigawatts of coal-fired power online. India is prepared to do a little less, but equally huge amounts. It will kill us. It will kill the efforts to deal with the climate. ”
Mr. Kerry and Mr. Biden must question whether China’s climate policy promises are meaningful or trustworthy. They should also think about what concessions China might want in return for cooperation with the United States in this area.
Would she expect, for example, that America would tolerate a Chinese invasion of the Japanese Senkaku Islands? Or is China really aiming to distance the United States from its key Indo-Pacific alliances with Japan and South Korea?
These are serious challenges for the new foreign policy teams in Washington. Many diplomats working with Biden have experience of the Obama years, when America made a so-called “pivot to Asia.”
Since then, China has become much stronger and more assertive. He’s convinced America’s allies don’t pose much of a problem, as they appear to be disorganized, economically weakened by the pandemic, and distracted by competing national interests.
There is another deep problem with the Democracy Summit. It must take place at a time when America’s reputation as a democracy is in tatters.
Donald Trump is still trying to rally his supporters to reject the result of a free and fair election. He is unlikely to officially concede defeat, even after Mr Biden is sworn in as president.
Trump may even return to the political arena, full of fire and fury, when the next election cycle begins.

Author: Joanne Harris
With his notorious reputation for trickery and deception and an ability to cause as many problems as he solves, Loki is a Norse god like no other. Demon-born, he is viewed with deepest suspicion by his fellow gods who will never accept him as one of their own and for this he vows to take his revenge. But while Loki is planning the downfall of Asgard and the humiliation of his tormentors, greater powers are conspiring against the gods and a battle is brewing that will change the fate of the Worlds. From his recruitment by Odin from the realm of Chaos, through his years as the go-to man of Asgard, to his fall from grace in the build-up to Ragnarok, this is the unofficial history of the world’s ultimate trickster.
Well, if Marvel hadn’t done a good enough job making the world fall in love with Loki, Joanne Harris has. I’m not very into Norse Mythology, but my sister is. So by talking to her I came across many of these stories. To come across this book in my library was a blessing in disguise (or a curse, considering it came 3 days before my final eval T_T). So the story hasn’t changed much if you’re aware of Norse mythology, but for those not aware, have no fear! It’s alright even if you aren’t aware because this book tells you how the original mythology goes. We learn about all the events that happened and all the wars…and, of course, Loki’s multiple pranks and subsequent effects of said prank.
This book is written in a way that you actually feel as though Loki is talking. He is by no means a hero in this book and he acknowledges this himself. It’s kind of like reading Greek mythology from the point of view of Hades or the Titans…technically, Hades and the Titans. Regardless, it definitely makes for an interesting read!
Okay…so, considering this is a mythological book that closely follows the original story, it is most definitely not for the faint-hearted. While nothing is graphic so to say, there is a slight amount of viewer discretion advised…so I’d say pg-13. And for reading style, you want to be able to read it in one go. Trust me on that. If you leave this book part way through and come back to it (unless you’ve just left it to grab a cup of tea/coffee/hot chocolate) you will find yourself slightly lost. It’s entertaining to read, but not a light read. You want to read this when you are actually in the mood to absorb what you are reading.
–As always, comment below to tell me what you think and whether or not you’ll read it…or have read it–

Ponchatoula is a somewhat small city located in the state of Louisiana. With a population of 7,822 people and four constituent neighborhoods, Ponchatoula is the 76th largest community in Louisiana. Ponchatoula has seen a significant amount of newer housing growth in recent years. Quite often, new home construction is the result of new residents moving in who are middle class or wealthier, attracted by jobs, a healthy local economy, or other amenities as they leave nearby or far away areas for greener pastures. This seems to be the case in Ponchatoula, where the median household income is $41,184.00.
Ponchatoula is neither predominantly blue-collar nor white-collar, instead having a mixed workforce of both blue-collar and white-collar jobs. Overall, Ponchatoula is a city of sales and office workers, service providers, and professionals. There are especially a lot of people living in Ponchatoula who work in sales jobs (17.51%), office and administrative support (9.00%), and management occupations (7.73%).
Also of interest is that Ponchatoula has more people living here who work in computers and math than 95% of the places in the US.
One downside of living in Ponchatoula, however, is that residents on average have to contend with a long commute, spending on average 30.34 minutes every day commuting to work.
As is often the case in a small city, Ponchatoula doesn't have a public transportation system that people use for their commute.
The education level of Ponchatoula citizens, measured as those with bachelor's degrees or advanced degrees, is similar to the national average for all American cities and towns. 20.03% of adults 25 and older in Ponchatoula have a college degree.
The per capita income in Ponchatoula in 2018 was $25,988, which is upper middle income relative to Louisiana, and middle income relative to the rest of the US. This equates to an annual income of $103,952 for a family of four. However, Ponchatoula contains both very wealthy and poor people as well.
Ponchatoula is an extremely ethnically-diverse city. The people who call Ponchatoula home describe themselves as belonging to a variety of racial and ethnic groups. The greatest number of Ponchatoula residents report their race to be White, followed by Black or African-American. Important ancestries of people in Ponchatoula include French, German, Irish, Italian, and English.
The most common language spoken in Ponchatoula is English. Other important languages spoken here include Spanish and Polish.

Lysine-MCC-DM1, MCC-DM1 and DM1 are potential catabolites of trastuzumab emtansine (T-DM1). A convenient liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) method was developed and validated to detect these catabolites simultaneously in in vitro investigations for the first time. Protein precipitation was utilized to prepare the samples. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Phenomenex Kinetex C18 column (100 × 2.1 mm, 2.6 μm) with mobile-phase gradient elution. The calibration curves of each analyte ranging from 1 to 100 nM showed good linearity (r2 > 0.995). The method was validated successfully and applied to the intracellular catabolism and regulation of T-DM1.

I had a free stay ticket at this hotel so I wasn't expecting much, but I still ended up disappointed by the professionalism of staff. For the actual listed price of the rooms, I would definitely stay elsewhere in NYC. As others have mentioned, I felt the staff were snobbish. While I sat at the counter waiting on my room... More

A/N: Okay, so I woke up with a start last night with this drabble/tag to AHBL2 on my mind. Just had to get it out, I guess. Feel free to hate, or ignore. But if you want to make my day…review.
TIME RUNNING OUT
Rain was pouring down and Sam could barely see the road ahead. The fog lay heavy and the shadows of night were slowly closing in. In the passenger seat Dean had finally fallen asleep and was sitting head tilted to the side, resting against the window with his mouth open and drool dripping from his bottom lip. A soft snore made Sam turn to look at his brother. Eyebrows furrowing he studied his brother for a moment before shifting his attention back to the road. He ran a hand through his dark, unruly hair as a deep shiver ran through his body.
It was cold. Cold out, and cold in. Cold followed them everywhere. Cold was a constant in their lives. It had been for a while now. Dean's time was almost up and the cold, - what a cosmic joke since Dean would soon be burning in hell - Sam thought, was probably the demons cruel way of reminding them of the fact. Dean was always cold, freezing and shivering both day and night, lips even turning blue at times. Nothing helped against it. The heater was turned to max in the car. Dean was wrapped in every piece of clothing they owned. But still it was cold as ice, cold as death when death makes its presence known. Sam was wearing a t-shirt and his favorite jeans, because - hell - he was cold too and he couldn't help Dean if he froze to death.
He was surprised his brother could still sleep with Death on their heels and a freezing cold tearing at them. Sam sure as hell couldn't. He'd stay awake for days on end until he was so exhausted he could no longer fight it and then, only then, he would sleep. Then he would sleep until the nightmares came. The nightmares as it were, were not about Jessica, they were not of people dying and needing to be saved...but about Dean and hell and hell's fire. He'd wake with a start and see Dean smirking at him. Smirking, because Dean was still Dean and Dean was an ass.
Sam was pissed at him for selling his soul, pissed at him for acting like it didn't matter, but most of all he was pissed at himself for dying. Pissed that he'd turned his back to Jake and pissed at having been stabbed in it. 361 days had passed since he'd misjudged a situation and gotten his stupid ass killed. And 360 days had passed since Dean did the unspeakable and inexcusable and signed a deal to end his own life and let his soul be violated by evil. For all eternity. And all for Sam. And Sam couldn't understand it, because to Sam, Sam was nothing.
How could his brother do it? It wasn't right. And it sure as hell wasn't fair. But when had life ever been fair to the Winchesters. When had things ever run smoothly? When had there ever been a happy ending? Never.
His reverie was broken by a soft groan and quickly his eyes darted to the sleeping form of his brother. Dean was still, apart from all the shivering of course, seeming to be in deep sleep. Sam reached out and touched his forehead lightly, tenderly - something Dean would've killed him for had he been awake. His brother was freezing cold and his skin was damp from a cold sweat. Sam felt his eyes water and his throat constrict against the pain and sadness that suddenly filled his heart. Give him three seconds and he'd be crying like a baby.
Dean's brow furrowed instantly and Sam couldn't help but give a small smile. Even in his sleep Dean was in protective mode. Would that burdening and firm sense of responsibility ever release its clutch on his brother? Probably not. It was what made Dean Dean and Sam had always feared the love his brother had for him would subsequently lead to his death.
5 days. 5 days left and Sam had tried everything. Everything. He'd given his all. But Dean hadn't. Dean hadn't done a thing to help. Sam didn't understand it, couldn't accept it. He had yelled at his brother for it.
He didn't know. He didn't know that Dean was only keeping his end of a cruel bargain. 'Try anything, anything at all, and Sam will drop dead,' the demon had told his brother. And Dean couldn't have that. Wouldn't have that. Because to him his life wasn't worth anything if Sam wasn't in it.
But in his sacrifice Dean had been blind to the fact that his brother felt the same. Because now Sam was the one suffering, the one fearing his brother's death and losing his will to live. Because, like Dean, Sam didn't think life was worth living if his brother wasn't in it.
So there he sat in the dark and the rain, on the road inside a black Impala, with his brother slowly dying beside him. And he'd stay there. Even with the cold fingers of a red eyed demon closing round his heart and slowly squeezing the life out of him, he would fight. He'd fight for five more days. And then...

The Jewish Heritage Cookbook: A fascinating journey through the rich and diverse history of the Jewish cuisine (Paperback) Marlena Spieler (author)
A wonderfully evocative collection of recipes, and fascinating introduction to the history of Jewish cooking. A comprehensive introduction to Jewish food includes a history of the Jewish people, their holidays, festivals and life events. It explains the rules surrounding Jewish foods, including laws of kashrut and laws about preparation and cooking techniques, and includes a glossary of Jewish terms (religious and culinary) and how and where to shop for Jewish foods. Jewish food and cooking reflects the rich history of a diverse and disparate people, and this book takes you on a journey through the evolution of a cuisine inexorably linked to the tasks and traditions of their faith. The recipe section is an eclectic mix of over 150 classic and contemporary dishes that draw on the culinary traditions of the global Jewish community. Herring with Beetroot and Sour Cream, Pot-roasted Brisket, and Potato Latkes from the Ashkenazi community sit in wonderful contrast to the warm and spicy flavours of Baba Ghannoush from the Sephardic community, deep-fried Falafel from Israel, and Green Calcutta Curry from India. Over 750 gorgeous photographs enlighten and inspire throughout. Evelyn Rose: Marlena Spieler has excelled herself with this fascinating and supremely practical cookbook. Joan Nathan: A truly glorious book – I never knew Jewish food could be so romantic. This book was the proud winner of the Gourmand World Cookbook Awards UK Special Award of the Jury in English.
