Good morning. An absolutely epic swing in stocks yesterday — from a miserable opening after the hot consumer price index report to an exuberant close — left Unhedged as puzzled as everyone else. Short covering? Derivative hedges unwinding? Technical voodoo? We don’t know, but a big equity rally on a day when the futures market priced in another 25 basis points of Fed rate increases was not on our bingo card. If you have a theory, we’re all ears: [email protected] and [email protected]
Inflation is still hot
Sure, they’re hot, but didn’t we know that already? That’s what Unhedged wondered as we read the latest CPI numbers, which showed falling headline numbers but a searing 0.6 per cent core inflation (ie, ex-food and energy) figure for September. It was a chunky miss for inflation analysts, who collectively had estimated 0.4 per cent core inflation.
Inflation remains a services story. Core services prices rose 0.8 per cent in the last month, above the 0.6 per cent August reading.
Services inflation is still mainly about shelter, the reliably hot (0.7 per cent in both August and September) category that makes up more than half of core services.
Goods disinflation is finally showing up. Falling shipping costs, commodity prices and swelling inventories offered hints this would happen, but any impact on CPI has been subtle. No longer:
Medical care (12 per cent of core services) rose unexpectedly, driven by the surging cost of eye appointments. Chances are this will fade. As we’ve written, next month’s inflation report will update the annual insurance data used to price medical services, flipping it to an inflation drag.
Transportation services (10 per cent of core services) shot up 1.9 per cent, well above August’s 0.5 per cent. It is hard to know how much this means. The category has been far more volatile, in both directions, since 2020:
Little in the report suggests inflation is about to spiral higher. To the contrary, goods deflation tacked on another drag. What’s happening in services is more debatable, but our view is that as services components such as medical care and transportation moderate, inflation will go from a story about services to one about shelter.
That raises the question, hotly debated on Thursday, of where shelter inflation is heading. Remember that CPI shelter is calculated from rental data. Doves argue that private rent indices have already turned over, but that CPI lags the rental market by nine months or so. That lag stems from CPI incorporating the full universe of new and existing leases, while private indices look only at new leases. If history repeats, CPI shelter (red line below) should soon start following market rents (grey and blue lines) down. From Nomura:
But there’s another way to look at it, as Adam Ozimek of the Economic Innovation Group pointed out to us. The chart above is of rent growth, but rent levels matter too. Ozimek shared this chart on Twitter showing the widening gulf between private market rents and CPI rents since the coronavirus pandemic:
In the long run, Ozimek has found, CPI rent levels catch up with private market rent levels, but shocks to market rents — like, say, a pandemic — are only reflected in CPI after a delay. He takes that to mean there is momentum now built into shelter CPI, even with rent growth slowing. Methodological issues make estimating how much momentum tricky.
Ozimek discourages panic, and Unhedged is not panicked. But we do fear inflation’s descent will be a long slog, and a story chiefly about shelter prices won’t change that. Thursday, in other words, gave the Fed few new reasons to slow down. (Ethan Wu)
Gilt market: problem solved?
The “mini” Budget mini-crisis may end with a whimper, not a bang, judging by Thursday’s markets. The pound is now stronger than the day before the budget announcement:
Thirty-year gilt yields are still much higher than they were before the announcement, but they fell Thursday:
And index-linked gilts — a particularly important asset in the current crisis, as pension funds dominate the market for them — only rose a little:
Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey can nod at these charts with satisfaction. His ultimatum to markets seems to have pushed pension-fund gilt sellers into the BoE’s bond-buying program and calmed the markets. The bank bought another £4.7bn in gilts yesterday, most of them linkers, and it has one more day of buying left (it says). But of course the relative calm on Thursday was not just the result of Bailey’s toughness. This helped, too:
Liz Truss was on Thursday locked in discussions on a major U-turn on the government’s “mini” Budget, prompting a market rally amid expectations that a £43bn package of unfunded tax cuts is unravelling.
Government insiders confirmed talks were taking place on whether to unwind parts of chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s fiscal statement, with speculation it could involve scrapping a planned £18bn corporation tax cut . . .[a] person close to the government discussions on the “mini” Budget said: “No decisions have been taken.”
An LDI pension manager told Unhedged that the mood was “quieter” but that he expected the market to follow the politics. He noted another factor, too. Speculators have taken advantage of the crisis to short long gilts and may want to cover soon, giving the market support over the next few days.
The biggest question is whether the pension funds as a group are now out of the woods: if they have sold enough liquid assets to meet margin calls, and have made a start towards resetting their portfolios for higher rates and rate volatility. I don’t know how to estimate how close the funds are, but if the liquidity crisis passes without permanently damaging balance sheets, the pensions could emerge in better shape than before, as Toby Nangle (the guy who saw this mess coming) has just written in Alphaville.
The real test for the gilt market will be on Monday, when the BoE is out of the market; markets on Fridays tend to act like Monday will never come. Fingers crossed.

The Server Room, Ars Technica's community for IT professionals, is sponsored by Dell's Future of Storage. This article is part of our ongoing series of topics and discussions related to IT and storage technology.
Hardware OEM and server/storage provider Sun Microsystems issued a statement today, calling on solid-state drive (SSD) manufacturers and developers to jointly form a standards body that would assume responsibility for future SSD development. Standard hard drive development is already covered by such groups, and the mandates of one or more of these preexisting organizations could also be extended to cover SSD development.
At the moment, there are a number of independent standardization efforts occurring simultaneously. The same group that created the ATA standard, Technical Committee T13, is already working on an SSD standard, while organizations like the Joint Electronic Device Engineering Council (JEDEC) have given their own input regarding future SSD form factors. Sun, for its part, seems to favor the use of an organization like the International Disk Drive Equipment and Materials Organization (IDEMA). IDEMA is a global organization that sets and approves standards for virtually every component in a hard drive, including drive heads, substrates, and packaging. The organization also provides guidance on how to measure drive performance, reliability, noise, and microcontamination.
One of Sun's goals is to give various SSD manufacturers a level playing field from which to compare SSD and HDD performance. Current drive comparisons often focus on cost-per-gigabyte, and the company wants to allow for the creation of other metrics—presumably ones where SSDs do not compare so poorly against the entrenched HDD market. Comparison without first standardizing on how various terms are defined, however, creates far more problems than it solves.
A good example of this is the difference between how Intel and AMD measure thermal design power (TDP). Intel defines TDP as the value that "should be used for processor thermal solution design targets. The TDP is not the maximum power that the processor can dissipate." AMD, on the other hand, defines TDP as the maximum amount of power a processor is theoretically capable of drawing. In AMD's world, a CPU that normally consumes 55W at full load, but could consume 89W if loaded with a thermal virus is an 89W part. The practical result of this disparity is that consumers can't compare TDP values between the two companies at all without access to test results performed on equivalent hardware.
One of the best ways to guarantee continued SSD market growth is to guarantee that device manufacturers are all on the same page. Samsung wants consumers to prefer its own product, but it also has an interest in ensuring that the segment isn't polluted by products claiming performance jumps or reliability numbers based on false pretenses. Similarly, a manufacturer that brought a line of SSD products out on a lousy, uncertified substrate material might make a huge splash in the market initially, but crash and burn a year later when drives began failing at abnormally high rates. With SSD products still in their infancy, consumers panic, tromp back toward "reliable" hard drives in record numbers, and deal the fledgling storage format a blow from which it takes years to recover. If you don't think consumers would react so drastically, I'd recommend asking IBM, except Hitachi now owns that company's hard drive division.
A single organizational standard is probably the best way to spur SSD adoption and development long-term, but when that standard will form is anyone's guess. Sun is trying to move the ball along by calling for one publicly, but this type of issue has a tendency to be heavily politicized and could ultimately take several years to hash out.

— Carol Rifka Brunt, Tell the Wolves I'm Home
Yeah. This is almost true of The Brothers K. There's just so much of it that seems angry, vituperative, indirect, hysterical, and just plain ugly. An unpleasant reading experience, or listening experience for that matter. I do understand that the plot and the motivations are first rate, but ugh. It isn't fun or pleasurable or enlightening, for me at least. But, so far at least, Carol Rifka Brunt wraps her characters tight enough.
Why I am sleepy is a mystery. Cooder, Emmylou, and I took a comfortable nap on the SIP this afternoon. I woke up and Emmylou was on the floor next to me. Her fur was a veritable sea of erratic waves. She is a hard sleeper.
Cooder was more in the classic mode.
And now to bed. Tomorrow will be full of anxiety as I prepare for Schroon Lake on Thursday and continue writing a couple of scenes that Louise and I hammered out again today.
Managed to get over to the reservoir bike path for a 40 minute walk. I eschewed The Brothers K as I have had a stay of discussion. Instead, I focussed on the graphic novel and worked out some pages. Got some new pictures too.

BERLIN – Horst Seehofer, the leader of one of Germany's governing parties and Chancellor Angela Merkel's most prominent domestic critic during the migrant crisis, says he plans to stay on beyond 2018 — reversing previous statements that he would step down.
The 67-year-old Seehofer has been Bavaria's governor and leader of the Christian Social Union since 2008. The CSU is the Bavaria-only sister to Merkel's Christian Democratic Union. It's an important source of conservative votes but an often-awkward ally.
Seehofer once threatened Merkel's federal government with a lawsuit over the migrant influx and has pushed for a cap on the number of asylum-seekers that Germany accepts. But he has since thrown his weight behind Merkel's quest for a fourth term.
Seehofer said Monday he will seek new terms as governor and CSU leader.

May 6, 2020 • Webinar
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has created new challenges and aggravated existing obstacles to mental health care and well-being. Individuals, families, and communities nationwide are grappling with financial insecurity, increased difficulty accessing mental health and substance use care, and an elevated level of overall stress and anxiety. This pandemic also threatens to widen existing disparities in access, treatment, and recovery for mental illness and substance use disorders. All of this culminates into a possible “second wave” of rising mental anguish, addiction, and social dislocation.
The discussion focused on the unique challenges for mental health in the wake of COVID-19. Attendees learned about current advocacy efforts to improve the mental health system, what specialized resources in response to the pandemic have been released to date, and what else may be needed.

What are your dreams? For top American climbers Sasha DiGiulian and Carlo Traversi, their dream was to climb the Eiger Nordwand. As successful sport climbers looking to step outside of their respective comfort zones they were motivated to challenge themselves on one of the most iconic mountains in the world. The route of choice was Paciencia 8a (900 meters), the hardest route on the mountain. After three weeks of failed attempts due to wet and snowy conditions they were forced to make a decision. Continue with the original objective or attempt a neighboring route that offered drier rock. They opted for climbing over waiting and turned their attention to Magic Mushroom 7c+ (600 meters). Three long days of effort culminated in the first American ascents by the team, and the First Female Ascent of the route by Sasha.
Looking for some adventure in your day? http://win.gs/1aXUVRM Professional rock climber Sasha DiGiulian and climbing partner Eduard Martin Garcia successfully ascended one of the hardest multi-pitch climbs in the world, tackling the 330 meter (1,082 ft) seven pitch climb known as “Viaje de los Locos” on the Italian island of Sardinia in the Gola di Gorropu National Park. DiGiulian, 21, is the first female to ever to tackle this route, and with partner Garcia, only the second team in history to send it. It was originally climbed in 2002 by Dani Andrada and Dani Dulac and has not been repeated since.

You certainly don't see a Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ driving very often! I'm in Munich with Semco Cars for a cruise into town, joining with my Lamborghini Huracan STO for this amazing leg of the Where's Shmee tour. Unsurprisingly, chaos ensues!
Cars like the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport 300+ are rare to begin with, but it's even rarer to see such works of art and engineering masterpieces being driven on the roads. With only 30 to be made in the distinct livery that pays tribute to the achievements of Bugatti, reaching the top speed of 304.77mph at Ehra-Lessien, it follows on from the legacy of the Veyron Super Sport WRE that came before with the orange accents, and Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse WRC that set a record for a convertible at the time too.
However, given we're on tour with my Huracan STO and Ferrari GTC4Lusso, which have been experiencing some pretty awful weather, they very much needed a tidy up and clean beforehand. At Semco however, the display inside is really quite impressive; also including the Koenigsegg Regera, Koenigsegg One of One, Pagani Huayra, Pagani Zonda 760, Pagani Zonda F, and more! Nonetheless, we're heading for a mini convoy in towards Maximillianstrasse in the centre of Munich to watch the madness unfold. It's one of the hotspots of supercars in Europe to begin with, so unsurprisingly when a car like the 300+ turns up, it generates a lot of buzz.

Samsung has just unpacked the new Galaxy S9 and S9+ flagship duo in Barcelona. The new devices are helming Samsung’s 2018 smartphone portfolio with new hardware but old looks.
Both S9 and S9+ retain the familiar glass-sandwich design with water-proofing, aluminum frame, curved Gorilla glasses, and everything. Samsung has trimmed the screen bezels a bit and thus both phones have insignificantly smaller footprints than their respective predecessors.
The minor changes in the design include a well-hidden iris scanner, a properly placed fingerprint reader, and a changed grille for the bottom speaker.
The Infinity Super AMOLED screens are here to stay, both with Quad HD resolution. The Galaxy S9 has a 5.8″ big screen, while the Galaxy S9+ opts for a 6.2″ unit – just like last year. Samsung promises even deeper blacks than before, whatever that means for an OLED screen.
Both the Galaxy S9 and S9+ will run on the latest Exynos 9810 everywhere but North America and China. The new SoC has an octa-core processor with a pair of third-gen Mongoose core at 2.9GHz and a quartet of Cortex0A55 at 1.9GHz. There is an 18-core Mali-G72 GPU and 4GB (S9) or 6GB (S9+) of RAM.
The latest Qualcomm chipset – Snapdragon 845 – will power the duo in North America in China. It has an octa-core Kryo 385 processor, Adreno 630 GPU, and the same RAM – 4 gigs for the S9 and 6 gigs on the S9+.
Samsung Galaxy S9+
The camera is where the new Galaxies have seen the biggest lift. The 12MP main camera on both phones is now capable of variable aperture – you can choose between f/1.5 and f/2.4. There is optical stabilization, and dual-pixel phase-detect autofocus. Unfortunately, the LED flash is staying single for another year.
The selfie shooter is borrowed straight from the S8 – an 8MP one with f/1.7 lens and autofocus.
The Galaxy S9+ is exclusively getting a secondary telephoto camera – the same as on the Note8. It’s a 12MP sensor with f/2.4 lens, OIS, and dual-pixel AF.
Both smartphones support 4K at 60fps capturing in the new HEVC format, as well as 720p slow-mo recording at 960 fps – just like the most recent Sonys. One major difference between the Xperias and the Galaxy S9 smartphones is the automatic event detection – no more hit and misses of those precious moments. The slow-mo has lesser cool time, too, now it’s just 2s. And finally, Samsung offers easy editing of those clips, including one-click gif export.
Finally, both Galaxy S9 and S9+ come with a premium AKG by Harman stereo speaker setup with Dolby Atmos support. Samsung says those are 40% louder over the S8’s speaker.
The S9 duo runs on Android Oreo with the latest Grace UX. There is new support of AR Emojis, improved KNOX, and Intelligent Scan security making use of the iris scanner and face unlock at the same time.
Samsung Galaxy S9
The batteries of the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are the same as on the S8 and S8+, no updates here.
Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ will launch next month in Midnight Black, Coral Blue, Titanium Gray, Lilac Purple. Pricing, promotions, and exact availability is yet to be announced.

Asian Games Women’s Football: Where and how to watch India vs Thailand game?
India will be upbeat to secure a victory over Thailand in the Asian Games.
The Indian women’s football team endured a 1-2 defeat to Chinese Taipei in their first match of Group B at the 19th Asian Games, which took place on Thursday. Anju Tamang’s early goal was negated by two late goals from Chinese Taipei, resulting in India coming away empty-handed.
However, they still maintain the belief that they are not far behind some of the top teams in the continent. Their opportunity for redemption lies ahead as they must demonstrate their capabilities against Thailand on September 24th in order to salvage their position.
The Indian women’s team are currently under immense pressure, with their position in Group B hanging in the balance. Their upcoming match against Thailand this Sunday requires them to bring forth their full strength and capabilities. In a tournament where nearly every match is a do-or-die scenario, a draw or loss against Thailand would result in the Indian team being eliminated from the competition.
Thailand, in contrast, will be seeking to deal a crushing blow to Thomas Dennerby’s side, especially since the Blue Tigresses are down in morale after having suffered a defeat in their initial match against Chinese Taipei. Thailand’s goal is to eliminate the Indian team from the tournament.
Where is the game between India and Thailand happening?
The match between India and Thailand will be played in the Wenzhou Olympic Sports Stadium in Hangzhou, China, on September 24, 2023 (Sunday).
When will the match between India and Thailand be played?
The match will be played at 1:30 pm IST.
Where will the game between India and Thailand be telecasted in India?
The game will be telecasted on Sony Sports Network.
Where will the game between India and Thailand be livestreamed?
The game will be livestreamed on SonyLiv.

The genetic differences between the board-leaf teas from India and small-leaf teas from China have been revealed by three New York City high school students under the guidance of scientific experts.
Using tabletop DNA technologies they also found several herbal brews and a few brands of tea contain ingredients unlisted on the manufacturers' package.
Catherine Gamble, 18, Rohan Kirpekar, 18, and Grace Young, 15, of Trinity School in Manhattan, were guided by DNA "barcoding" experts at The Rockefeller University, an ethno-botanist at Tufts University and a molecular botany expert at The New York Botanical Garden.
The young scientists discovered that the tea plant includes a genetic difference between broad-leaf assamica variety tea exported from India and small-leaf sinensis variety tea exported from China, the two largest tea-producing countries by far.
"We were excited to make a genetic discovery, particularly in an important crop plant like tea that scientists have scrutinized in detail," said Young.
"This finding will help track commercial shipments and aid research on the geographic origin and diversity of wild and cultivated tea plant resources," Selena Ahmed of Tufts University stated.
The students also helped construct a "Klee diagram," a clever new way to visually represent the genetic relationship between species.
Like a heat map, where hot is shown in red and cold in blue, their Klee diagram depicts the genetic relationships among and within the families of plants consumed as teas, using a color scale from red (a close genetic relationship) to blue (distant).
Based on the DNA of 39 plants tested, the image is the world's first family portrait of tea and herbal tea plants.
The finding was published in the Nature journal Scientific Reports.

I love my Stang!
By Gitano on
Vehicle2002 Ford Mustang 2dr Coupe (3.8L 6cyl 5M)
ReviewI purchased this car with 1,500 miles on it back in late '02. I saw it on the lot, and I wanted it right away. I did want a V8 instead of a V6 for the power and bragging rights of having a V8, but it was $8,000 more for it. I still love this car though. It's now 07 and I have 54k miles on it. I have had no problems yet. I am happy with the way it handles, and of course I love the look. Drivers side door when I open it squeaks now, but wd-40 takes care of it. No biggie. I definitely would get another one again, but that won't happen since I don't like the '05+ look.
Best FeaturesThe look, the color, handling,the interior.
Worst FeaturesWould like the V6 to have at least 200+hp. C'mon its a Mustang. A little louder exhaust.

Laura and Chris celebrated their wedding day at the gorgeous Huntsville Botanical Gardens and it was absolutely breathtaking. This is going to be a VERY long blog post because I had such a hard time narrowing down my favorites!!! I met Laura last November for coffee and we immediately clicked! Her sweet bubbly personality is only amplified when she is around Chris. They truly light up when they look at each other and that was a joy to capture.
We began the wedding day at the beautiful NeoMode Salon. While the girls got ready, I photographed Laura’s bridal details. She had so many stunning pieces that I had a hard time stepping away so I could photograph the girls getting ready! We all hopped in a car and made our way over to the church for portraits and the ceremony. Laura and Chris shared a sweet first look and read letters they had written. We stayed close to the church for portraits and had the bridal party meet us for their portraits. What a fun group of people Laura and Chris surround themselves with!
They were married in front of their closest friends and family at the First United Methodist Church of Huntsville. One of my favorite moments was when they came back down the aisle and Chris dipped Laura backwards for an epic kiss! Talk about romantic! They left their ceremony in an old Rolls Royce classic car and arrived at the Botanical Gardens as the golden hour before sunset began. We snapped a few romantic husband and wife portraits and then spent the night dancing and enjoying their guests.
I am so honored to be part of my clients’ weddings because this season of life is filled with so much anticipation and joy. It’s a blessing to come along side my sweet clients and guide them. Enjoy the beautiful images!!

- Mississippi lawmakers have decided to leave in place telehealth regulations that permit phone-based encounters, despite threats earlier this year to introduce legislation that would mandate that video be part of the platform.
Mississippi State Medical Association President Lee Voulters, MD, recently told the Mississippi Business Journal that it would not pursue an amendment to the state’s current laws during the next legislative session.
As it stands, the state defines telemedicine as “using electronic communication, information technology or other means between a physician in one location and a patient in another location with or without an intervening healthcare provider.”
The MSMA and several legislators had fought a bill earlier this year that would have clarified the vague wording and allow physicians to choose whether to meet first-time patients in person, via video or through a phone call. They’d argued that a phone-based consult should not be allowed to establish the doctor-patient relationship, and that video should be mandated.
But Voulters recently said the MSMA wouldn’t pursue any new legislation at this time.
“We want the telemedicine rules and regulations to stand as they are promulgated by the medical licensing board,” he said. “Our position is that we want all physicians to be treated the same way; we don’t want special interest groups treated differently.”
Earlier this year, a group of legislators had introduced S.B. 2071, which would give providers the option of using telehealth when meeting with new patients.
“If a provider offering telemedicine services in his or her practice does not have an established provider-patient relationship with a person seeking such services, the provider may use his or her professional judgment within the standard of care to take appropriate steps to establish a provider-patient relationship by use of appropriate telemedicine technologies, including, but not limited to, the use of interactive audio using asynchronous store and forward technology or videoconferencing,” the bill stated. “The technological method by which the provider-patient relationship is established shall be within the discretion and medical judgment of the provider, but shall comply with the applicable medical standard of care.”
The bill had the backing of Teladoc, a Texas-based telehealth provider with some 68,000 patients in the state and a platform that allows providers to connect via telephone or video. It was passed by the House, but the Senate version died, following testimony by the MSMA and others who felt the state’s laws should be amended to mandate video.
When the bill was introduced, then-MSMA President Dan Edney, MD, called it “terrible” legislation that would hinder physicians looking to practice telemedicine. His successor, Voulters, testified at an October 18 hearing that the organization was “against audio-only” telemedicine and the video was “the right way” of doing things.
Prior to the introduction of S.B. 2071,the Mississippi Board of Medical Licensure had proposed an amendment that would have forced telehealth providers to establish a formal relationship with a healthcare provider in the state and use only secure video conferencing when prescriptions are issued. The board withdrew its proposal in the face of opposition.
Teladoc officials told the Mississippi Business Journal they have no issue with the state’s current regulations.


Ocean Wave 海浪
The new media installation presents an alternative approach to real-time interaction. The visual graphics of the wave data collected through exposure via camera for 3-5 seconds achieved real-time data transmission and data visualization. The installation consisted of 50 slide rails used to reduce the overall weight and noise. This physical structure was customized using 100% carbon filter tubes designed as a guide rail rather than the traditionally used hard solid steel rail. The ocean wave edge's real-time fluctuation data was extracted through camera recognition and a user-defined algorithm pipeline. The lighting changes encompassing colour and brightness were controlled by wireless technology, with the physical space range of the entire work covered by two transmitting antennas that controlled the motion of the electric motor and the LED light block's colour.
According to the coordinates of the differing positions, the light blocks presented multiple gradients of colour. This is with the use of multiple contexts with a strong foundation in multidimensional thinking. The piece explores the intricacies and various relationships and the layers between humans and nature, additionally exploring the complex perspective and notions held by people in which to observe nature.

According to 2021 tax forms, Biden and Harris each donated less to charity than the average citizen for their level of income.
Harris and her husband, Doug Emhoff, gave significantly less than the average worker for their level of earnings.
Even the poorest of Americans were significantly giving more than either of these two individuals.
As of 2021, Biden and first lady Jill Biden had a federal AGI of $610,702, paid $183,925 in state and federal income taxes, and donated $17,394 to charity, for a combined total of 2.8 percent.
A philanthropic deduction of 3.1 percent of adjusted gross income is typical for persons earning between $500,000 and $2 million, according to statistics from the independent Tax Policy Center from 2016.
Filers with incomes from $100,000 and $500,000 make a 2.9 percent donation.
NEW –WH releases Biden's 2021 tax returns
Biden and Jill reported a federal adjusted gross income of $610,702 in 2021.
Biden & Jilly filed their income tax return jointly, & paid $150,439 in federal income tax. Their 2021 effective federal income tax rate is 24.6%.
— 🍊Just me👀Cassie🌺🦋🌺 (@browneyegirl400) April 15, 2022
Harris and Emhoff reported a federal AGI totaling $1,655,563 on their 2021 federal tax return. A total of $523,371 in income taxes was paid by the couple.
Here Are Some More Numbers…
According to their tax form, they donated $22,000 to charities in 2021, which is less than the usual donation for people with such high incomes (1.3 percent).
Taxpayers earning around $500,000 and $2,000,000 annually donated 3.1 percent of revenue to charity, which amounted to $51,322 on a $1,655,563 income.
Those earning less than $50,000 per year who itemized their philanthropic deductions gave out 8.4 percent of their adjusted gross income.
In 2021, Biden’s charitable contributions were made to ten different organizations, with the greatest amount — $5,000 — going towards the Beau Biden Charity.
The $17,394 donated to charity represents a reduction from the amount donated in 2020, while Biden was running for office.
That year, the Bidens donated $30,704 to charity organizations, which amounted to around 5% of their total income.
So many red flags raised by the $6 million purchase of an L.A. mansion by the charity of Black Lives Matter.
BLM hasn’t come close to explaining this. And the Biden DOJ can’t ignore it any longer.

An Offical Statement From the White House
A statement from the White House on Friday read:
“With this disclosure, the president has released a total of 24 years of tax records with the American public, underscoring his commitment to being open with the American people regarding his financial affairs as leader of the country.”
According to a 2008 article by USA Today, Biden donated an average of $369 per year to charity during the years before he became vice president.
During his time as a senator, Biden donated $995 to charity, which represented around 0.3 percent of the revenue he and his wife made.
What Biden’s taxes don’t show is how much his family has benefitted financially from his name.
Joe’s brother, James Biden, received a billion-dollar contract to build residential homes in Iraq while Joe was vice president.
Joe’s son, Hunter, also has been caught up in shady business deals while Joe was vice president. Hunter was on the board of Burisma, which was a Ukrainian oil company under investigation by the Ukrainian attorney general.
Essentially, with Biden’s approval rating so low, the White House decided to release Biden’s tax records to say, “look we did what Trump never did.”

Former student pleads guilty in theft of rare signatures
A former UW-Madison student pleaded guilty Monday in his home city of Hamden, adjacent to the town of New Haven, Conn., to three counts of larceny in the first degree and three counts of criminal mischief in the first degree, after being arrested last October for stealing famous historical documents from a Yale University library, where he worked last summer.
Benjamin Johnson, 22, lived in the Bradley Learning Community dormitory during the fall 2001 semester when the Capitol Police Department arrested him under suspicions that he stole documents from the Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library at Yale. Authorities later found that Johnson stole, among other items, an original letter from George Washington to the French general Rochembeau, with an estimated value of $350,000 and three rare volumes of \Moby Dick,"" by Herman Melville, estimated at $125,000.
Police were first notified about the thefts after one of Johnson's buyers, based in Philadelphia, became suspicious of the signatures and described them as being in unusually good shape.
""I know I am completely guilty,"" Johnson said during his pretrial appearance this week.
By entering a plea of guilty to the six criminal charges, Johnson's case will proceed directly to sentencing, which will occur on June 14.
Connecticut Assistant State Attorney John Waddock is recommending two years in prison, a $5,000 lump sum-payment to Yale and any additional reparations Johnson's probation officer deems appropriate. In addition, Johnson is ordered to relinquish control of a $50,000 bank account in Wisconsin to reimburse autograph and document dealers that he scammed. He is also banned from Yale property without permission.
""The university is satisfied,"" said Yale spokesperson Tom Conroy.
Johnson's lawyer Penn Rhodeen called the case a ""tragic situation"" and said his client suffers from mental instability.
""He's really been committed to righting this wrong as much as he can, and this plea is part of that,"" Rhodeen said.
The defense will be able to argue a lower sentence in June, according to New Haven State's Attorney Michael Dearington. On a personal note, Dearington, New Haven's lead prosecutor, said he has never dealt with a case of this nature before.
""We have a lot of larceny cases but not where they involve these precious documents,"" he said. ""This is highly unusual.""
UW-Madison sophomore Aaron Lawrence, Johnson's freshman roommate, described him as ""kind of a loner.""
""It's one of those things where you're surprised if it happened to anyone,"" he said. ""It's probably more likely I'd hear about it happening to him than anyone else.""

Police Authorities Arrest Male Employee for Installing Spy Camera at Female’s Restroom
A male employee in Mandaluyong City has been arrested for installing a spy camera in a female’s comfort room.
The Anti-Cybercrime Group (ACG) of Eastern Police District discovered a high-tech ‘pamboboso’ (peeping) at an office in Barangay Plainview, Mandaluyong City. The culprit installed a small CCTV camera at the female restroom’s sink.
A female worker found a tiny spy camera covered in aluminum foil with a power bank attached to it. The woman immediately reported it to the police authorities, according to PNP-ACG Public Information Office Police Lt. Col. Jay Guillermo.
“May video camera, nakita nila. Purpose nito, recording. It can capture videos ng mga babae na gumagamit ng specific restroom na iyon,” Guillermo said.
According to the police investigation, the company’s liaison officer identified as Wilfredo Mendoza entered the female’s restroom before the spy camera has been discovered.
The suspect even tried to escape but his fellow workers apprehended and stopped him. Eventually, the police authorities were able to arrest Mendoza. The latter refused to give a statement regarding the incident.
Mendoza will face charges for violation of the Republic Act 9995 or the Anti Photo and Video Voyeurism Act, according to Guillermo.
“Sa ifa-file na kaso ng imbestigador Republic Act 9995. Ito ‘yug anti photo and video voyeurism act, section 5 ng republic Act 9692, ito ‘yung violence against women and children at Republic Act 11313. Ito ;yung safe space act o bawal bastos act,” Guillermo added.

Cities are simultaneously home to inequality and breeding grounds of movements to combat it.
Today, and especially in the U.S. Sun Belt, that dynamic often plays out with newly arrived Mexican and Central American immigrants who’ve settled in major cities looking for opportunity.
In Houston, those issues are especially critical. Its Latino population exceeds 2 million and makes up a third of the region’s population. About 834,000 of those Latinos are being foreign-born.
University of Houston – Clear Lake researcher Christine Kovic examined three ways those battles for immigrant rights are playing out in her paper “Mexican and Central American Immigrant Rights: Local Justice Struggles in a Global City.”
In their fights for health care coverage, worker rights and criminal justice system reform, she argues, recent immigrants are working to make the city more inclusive and to provide more opportunities “rather than trying to assimilate to the structures that exclude them.”
Though undocumented workers are more typically associated with the lack of access to social services and work options, new immigrants – both with and without papers – suffer from many of the same structural disadvantages and are closely associated as communities, Kovic argues. Consequently, her paper treats the groups as part of a single collective fight.
“It is precisely because of the criminalization of Latina/os and other minorities that the actions in support of immigrant rights have the potential to make the city more inclusive for all,” Kovic writes.
Kovic gathered her data from 2009 through early 2015 by observing public hearings, protests, activist press conferences, marches and similar events.
Particularly important, she said, were yearly May Day rallies for immigrant rights, public forums on immigration and visits to the Polk County Detention Center north of Houston, where activists demanded better conditions for those facing deportation. She also highlighted the role of vigils protesting the detention and deportation of immigrants as well as the deaths of migrants at the border.
She supplemented those observations with interviews with nine activists on their involvement in the cause and how different activist groups interact.
On the struggle for health care, Kovic focuses on the activism of Living Hope Wheelchair Association, a nonprofit group of Latino migrants with spinal cord injuries. They represent immigrants that are closed off from Medicaid access, but also those who are Medicaid eligible yet find it insufficiently covers their needs.
The group organizes members through “case to cause” activism: beginning with a single case that affects them or someone they know to understand their role in a larger fight. They’ve now linked with groups across the state in pushing for Medicaid expansion.
Kovic also focuses on the Fe y Justicia Worker Center of Houston, meanwhile, a member-based nonprofit group pushing for immigrant and low-wage workers rights that especially emphasizes wage theft issues. It documented $3.3 million in stolen wages from 2007 through 2012, recovering $700,000 for workers.
She credits Fe y Justicia’s work for pushing the Houston City Council to adopt a wage theft ordinance in 2013; the law bars city permits and business licenses for companies convicted of wage theft.
The organization has now linked with like-minded groups fighting deportation and detention as well.
And on that count, Kovic focuses on the protests and vigils held by groups like Alianza Mexicana and Houston United, a coalition of immigrant groups, to protest Harris County’s 287(g) policy, which required local law enforcement to work directly with the Department of Homeland Security to enforce immigration law.
“Houston immigrant activism around issues of health care, worker rights, and criminal justice is not only about community survival, it is also about expanding the range of what is possible,” Kovic writes, paraphrasing the anthropologist Karen Brodkin. “The successes of the groups, most visibly the passage of the city’s wage theft ordinance, promises to protect all workers, but especially low wage workers who are disproportionately female and minority, immigrant and non-immigrant alike.”
The organization of activist networks that push for more equitable conditions for immigrant groups promise to make Houston – the most diverse city in America – a more equal city as well.

Linkatharsis: Slippery When Wetnesday
That's right, say good bye to the Global War on Turr-ism, or G-WOT, say hello to the Global Struggle Against Violent Extremism, or G-SAVE. This should make us all feel better about Iraq, or that we haven't really fought turr. Which reminds me, what's a five-letter Arabic word for " struggle", starts with J?
Quite blah as you might imagine. They could spice it up by, say, posting rider experiences, perhaps? I still have the photographs if that want.
I join in the chorus of yawns heard all across the internets. Any artist who's on mainstream radio is there because money the label specifically paid for airplay, and radio stations got paid. Except normally, an independent promoter is taking a cut to keep it all legal. Sony just happened to cut out the middleman. The only big deal here is that the media is making a big deal.
Though I'm sure some fans of Franz Ferdinand must be utterly crushed that the band didn't make it to Top 40 radio because of their irresistible indie sound. That can't help their cred, can it?


Refining a 3D model might be challenging sometimes. Making it seem smooth and well-made could be tough, so why not let the tools do the hard work for you? Relax and see how Blender automatically can round a surface or create an inset with the Bevel and the Inset tools.
Do you need to transform and correct rigid corners in Blender? Let’s begin with a default cube in Edit Mode. Then, click on edge edges, press Ctrl + B, and drag the mouse. Bevel is attractive because you can make some angle cuts.
The Bevel Tool is excellent for rounding the corners of a mesh, but you need to set it in the Bevel Menu, which you can find in the bottom left corner of your screen. When you click on it, you’ll pull up the advanced options of the tool.
Let’s focus on the “segments” option, which is like the “Number of cuts” in the Loop Cut Menu. So, when you increase that number, you’re telling the program how many times you want to perform the Bevel operation. Thus, as much as you add bevels, your objects will seem more rounded.
Tip: If you want more rounded and soft corners, don’t forget to smooth them.
To access this tool, press I (i) on your keyboard and pull the face inward. You will notice that you have made an inset quicker than in the Extrude Tool, in which you would have had to press the tool shortcut and S to scale the face without creating other looks. The inset tool is more valuable when doing complex operations in a single inset.
So, if you need to make an inset in every single face of your model, just press A to select all, press I to inset, and drag your mouse until you think it fits you better.
Note: If you do it and notice that nothing happened, press I again or go to the popup of the Inset Menu on the bottom left corner of your screen and select the Individual option to enable it.
There you have it! Two amazing tools that will take your model to the next level!

Special counsel Robert Mueller was all set to deliver the kill shot to Donald Trump.
He was going to file the two documents that would spell the end of the Trump administration.
But Mueller’s surprise attack on Trump blew up in his face and ended up being the most humiliating defeat of his life.
The fake news media worked themselves into a lather about the Paul Manafort and Michael Cohen sentencing memos.
They were convinced that Mueller would use these memos to make his findings public before Donald Trump could decide to fire him and shut down his rigged witch hunt.
But despite the fake news hype, Mueller’s big finding was a bust.
The big reveal in the Cohen sentencing memo was that a Russian national reached out to Cohen in the fall of 2015 about the Trump Tower project in Moscow and offered “political synergy.”
Fake news reporters claimed this was the essence of “collusion.”
Maggie Haberman – one of the top White House reporters for the failing New York Times – exclaimed that, “Synergy sounds a little collusion-y.”
But there are several problems with this narrative.
First, Mueller’s own filing noted that Cohen blew off the proposed offer of “political synergy.”
The big example of cooperation Mueller relays is an exchange that Cohen had in November 2015 with a "Russian national" (meaning, some unknown person with Russian citizenship) who proposed a meeting that never happened. BOOM. pic.twitter.com/zaPCsaVe5c
— Michael Tracey (@mtracey) December 7, 2018
Second of all, the offer was made by a big-talking blowhard.
The Russian national who approached Cohen was a Russian weightlifter who had no connections with the Kremlin.
BuzzFeed had key details in June about the Russian national referred to in the Mueller filing who approached Michael Cohen with offers of "political synergy." It's a weightlifter w/ no known ties to Kremlin who Cohen rebuffed in email. https://t.co/NDiL4RmVAC
— Chuck Ross (@ChuckRossDC) December 8, 2018
Finally, neither the Manafort nor the Cohen sentencing memo mentioned Russian collusion.
Prosecutors were depending on the fake news media to weave a narrative of Russian collusion based on random meetings and legitimate business dealings.
So-called “journalists” claimed the memos showed Russians had reached out to figures in Trump’s orbit who willingly accepted their overtures.
But they conveniently left out the part where the offers were never reciprocated, acted upon, or amounted to anything.
The most Mueller can come up with is Donald Trump wanted to build a hotel in Russia and that the project fell apart in June 2016.
There is nothing illegal about wanting to build a hotel in Russia.
And there is nothing illegal about wanting to build a hotel in Russia while you are running for President.
Mueller is using innuendo and facts devoid of context to weave a narrative that Donald Trump is an agent of the Russian government.
But unfortunately for Mueller, millions of Americans saw through his ploy.
The fake news media built these memos up as Mueller showing his hand as to how much evidence he had gathered to implicate Trump and his campaign in an international conspiracy to rig the 2016 election.
If this is Mueller showing his hand, then he’s ‘holding a two and a seven’ – otherwise known as the worst hand in poker.
You can’t even bluff the worst player in the world out of a pot with those cards.
The real scandal in this entire ordeal is the lawless and un-American conduct of a rogue prosecutor— Robert Mueller.
He is the one who should be investigated and face jail time.
We will keep you up to date on any new developments in this ongoing story.
