Guardians of the Galaxy star Dave Bautista is in the news for the release of his film Army of the Dead. Directed by Zack Snyder, whom Bautista chose to work with over James Gunn in The Suicide Squad, the movie’s press junket has naturally opened Bautista up to a bevy of questions around Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3. So far, it looks like Bautista is having a ball answering those.
One of those questions was about the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 script. Back when Gunn was working on the movie, he had shared a screenshot of him working on the script. It was strongly suggested that Gunn had a script ready before he departed Disney to work on The Suicide Squad. Bautista acknowledges that while also suggesting that script may need a lot of changes in lieu of just how much the Marvel Cinematic Universe has changed over the years since.
I don’t know what the script of the third film is, to be honest with you. There was a script years ago that obviously is going to have to change because the whole direction of the Marvel universe has changed.
Bautista also talked a bit about his character’s future in the MCU. He touched on the idea of a standalone spinoff film featuring Drax and Mantis. Gunn himself had pitched the idea but he feels studio interest in it has waned. As far as the future goes then, Drax speculates that Vol. 3 might be a swan song for his character.
There were talks for a while about a Drax and Mantis film. It was really because it was James Gunn’s idea. He really wanted to do a Drax and Mantis film. He laid it out to me. I thought it was such a brilliant idea, but I haven’t heard any follow-up from the studio.
I don’t think they’re very interested, or it doesn’t fit into the way they have things mapped out. But other than that, no. I mean, as far as my obligations, I’ve got Guardians 3, and that’s probably going to be the end of Drax.
Of course that’s Bautista speculating or ruminating. If there’s anything we know about the MCU, is that popular characters do not die or leave that easily, let alone front-liners such as Drax.
Back when Gunn was working on the script, there were reports that it could feature Rocket’s love interest Lyla. The script was also described at various points as being rather emotional. Let’s hope Gunn is able to preserve that emotional core and only has to make subtle changes to the dialogue to accommodate the journey that the Guardians have been through between Infinity War and Endgame. That and of course, accounting for Thor.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 is currently set for a May 2023 release date. Let me know

The Book Of Love Review
This is a ridiculous movie but I absolutely love it. Seriously if you need a movie series to binge it has to be American Pie. It’s just fantastic (if a bit weird and laddish).
The Book of Love follows three friends who are quite awkward and a bit weird. But like all teenage boys they want to get laid and know exactly the girls they want it with. Surprisingly even though he is a character Stifler is not part of the main gang.
While Rob, one of the trio who has a crush on a girl Heidi, has to clean up the library because he accidentally set it on fire (this is American Pie, anything goes!) he stumbles upon a hidden book known as the bible. Within it is invaluable advice about sex and what to do with the ladies. The three lads think they have stumbled upon the holy grail and set about trying many of the different ideas within it, often with hilarious consequences.
They then realise that to preserve this book they need to update it to the 21st century as most of it has been destroyed in the fire. They go through all the names in the book (after all it is a library book, you need to check it out so to speak) and recreate the Book of Love.
Looking at it there isn’t really a lot of story here but it’s still an enjoyable movie.
It’s quite weird watching an American Pie movie without any of them being connected to the original cast members. Apart from Jim’s dad, he always turns up! But don’t let that stop you, it’s still a very enjoyable movie and makes you cringe a lot.
It’s a very obvious storyline but it’s still fun to watch and keeps you interested. Seeing the boys go from proper nerdy lads to boys who actually get the girl is quite fulfilling and is definitely an underdog story I can get behind. Although the scene with the moose and Stifler, a step too far?
If you need a new movie to watch or want an old classic that still holds up (well almost) this is definitely the movie for you! I miss the simple old days before we could google things and had to actually read books and ask people for advice on life. I’m sure the book of love could never hold up to a quick google search these days!
What do you think of the Book of Love?
Until next time.

Have you ever been in a toxic or volatile domestic relationship? I have recently interviewed a woman that has been tortured for years in her marriage. She tells me in the interview that she is recanting that one time she woke up in the middle of the living room floor. As she opens the one eye that isn’t swollen shut she frantically searches for her young child and he is nowhere to be found. She calls the police who take her report and then question her about her bruises and black eye. She tells them what happened; they take her report and begin the search for her son. When they find her son and husband they return them both home because the son is “safe” in their eyes and she has fearfully corroborated her father’s alibi that they haven’t been home all day. The officers leave, satisfied that they have done their jobs, only to discover the next day that the man they returned home safe has now beaten his wife and child unconscious. This situation may not be how every domestic violence situation plays out but it is all too often the case. Domestic violence is a serious problem everywhere that affects the victims and a child involved, but does not seem to have consistent enough consequences for the offender, or strong enough protection for the victims. Many couples have arguments but sadly domestic violence is hard to recover from both physically and emotionally.
The number of domestic violence incidents is at a staggering amount. According to the Domestic Violence Resource Center), one in four women has experienced domestic violence in her lifetime. That is one quarter of the female population. This means that the majority of us probably know someone who has been a victim, whether they have admitted it or not. This could be your mother, sister, aunt or daughter. Whether you can see the physical effects or not there are other signs that may suggest they are in a violent or abusive situation. Victims involved in this kind of abuse typically withdraw themselves from others. They don’t

Stephanie Mills added to her growing reputation as a fiery on-stage performer with a concert Thursday night at the Universal Amphitheatre that was as frisky, feisty and dance-oriented as a Prince show.
Though blandness abounds on Mills’ latest album, she’s another matter altogether live. Her nasty-girl gyrations can get overheated, but her sassiness is preferable to cold, technically proficient singers who don’t have a clue about making a show visually exciting.
Supported by three forceful male back-up singers, Mills focused on her hits from the late ‘70s when the R&B; production team of James Mtume and Reggie Lucus supplied her with a stream of definitive hits like “Whatcha Gonna Do With My Lovin’ ” and “Put Your Body in It.” These songs didn’t connect with pop audiences, but they fit Mills’ dramatic vocal style like a glove. Another good inclusion Thursday was her version of Prince’s “How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore.”
Atlantic Starr, which opened the show, is an R&B-pop; quartet with no shortage of good material but has had trouble bringing its songs alive on stage. The group is moving in the right direction with new lead singer Barbara Weathers, though the strongest member is co-founder (and surprisingly underworked) David Lewis.

Wonder Woman has hit many milestones since its release. It had the best opening ever for a film with a female director, and it has since become the highest grossing live-action film globally ever directed by a woman. Now Patty Jenkins and the rest of the folks at WB/DC can notch another victory: highest grosser of the summer.
After opening 30% lower than Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol. 2, Wonder Woman has since caught up and will pass $387 million at the domestic total box office. Even more impressive, it’s week-to-week declines have been besting Guardians of the Galaxy: Vol 2 on average 37% to Guardians‘ 42%. Wonder Woman also bested the industry average of a 55-60% drop in it’s second weekend of release, dropping only 43% from it’s opening weekend total.
Several contributing factors to the film’s success had to do with its positive reception: it boasts an A CinemaScore as well as a 92% Fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Wonder Woman also had a much higher female audience, with women ticket buyers outnumbering men 55-45%.
Wonder Woman currently sits second among highest grossing first superhero solo movies in the US/CA behind Sony Pictures’ Spider-Man ($403.7 million). Wonder Woman also ranks third on the list of highest grossing Warner Bros. films, behind fellow DC adaptations The Dark Knight ($534.9 million) and The Dark Knight Rises ($448.1 million).
Diana Prince herself Gal Gadot will be at San Diego Comic-Con this weekend to promote DC’s upcoming Justice League.
Wonder Woman stars Gal Gadot as Diana Prince/Wonder Woman, Chris Pine as Steve Trevor, Robin Wright as General Antiope, Connie Nielsen as Queen Hippolyta, Lisa Loven Kongsli as Menalippe, Danny Huston as General Erich Ludendorff, David Thewlis as Sir Patrick Morgan, Elena Anaya as Doctor Maru, Ewen Bremner as Charlie, Saïd Taghmaoui as Sameer and Eugene Brave Rock as the Chief. Here’s the official synopsis:
Before she was Wonder Woman, she was Diana, princess of the Amazons, trained to be an unconquerable warrior. Raised on a sheltered island paradise, when an American pilot crashes on their shores and tells of a massive conflict raging in the outside world, Diana leaves her home, convinced she can stop the threat. Fighting alongside man in a war to end all wars, Diana will discover her full powers…and her true destiny.

Workhorse Group, Inc. (WKHS) and Li Auto Inc. (LI) are two of the world's emerging companies in the Electric Vehicle (EV) space. WKHS is primarily a technology company that designs, develops, manufactures, and sells electrically powered medium duty trucks and unmanned aerial delivery systems in the United States. LI, through its subsidiaries, designs, develops, manufactures, and sells smart electric sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in China.
With growing interest of investors in the EV space, both WKHS and LI are expected to generate big returns in the coming months.
LI has returned 76.8% over the past three months compared to a loss by WKHS. Regarding the past month performance, WKHS is a clear winner with a 13.7% return versus LI’s 3%. But which of these stocks is a better pick now? Let's find out.
WKHS announced on November 9 that it has received a purchase order for 500 of its all-electric C-1000 delivery vehicles from Pritchard Companies for its National Fleet Program. The program is being financed by Hitachi Capital America Corp. (HCA). The company had entered into strategic agreements with Hitachi America, Ltd., and HCA in August.
In October, the company submitted its formal "Type Certification" application to the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for its HorseFlyTM Unmanned Aerial System (UAS). WKHS received approval from New York Truck Voucher Incentive Program in October to offer monetary vouchers for its C-Series all-electric delivery vehicles in select New York State counties.
In September, LI announced a three-way strategic cooperation with NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA), and NVDA’s Chinese partner, Huizhou Desay SV Automotive. Through this strategic cooperation, LI is expected to be the first OEM equipping its vehicles with the powerful NVIDIA Orin SoC chipset. The full-size extended-range premium smart SUV is set to be launched in 2022.
Recent Financial Results
WKHS’ net sales increased to $564,707 for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. However, the company incurred losses due to increased interest expenses. The company also had to modify its assembly process, and limit production support from third-party sources due to the pandemic.
LI’s total revenues climbed 28.9% sequentially to $369.8 million for the third quarter ended September 30, 2020. Vehicle sales revenue increased 28.4% sequentially to $363 million, and its gross profit increased 91.3% sequentially to $73.2 million, yielding a gross margin of 19.8%.
Expected Financial Performance
The market expects WKHS’ revenue and EPS to increase 6934.5% and 82.5%, respectively, over the next year. Regarding LI, the market expects LI’s revenue and EPS to increase 93.7% and 88.9%, respectively, over the same period.
LI’s trailing-12-month revenue of $823.86 million is much higher than WKHS’. Moreover, LI is more profitable with a gross margin of 14.7% versus WKHS’ negative value.
However, WKHS’ ROE of 831.1% compares favorably with LI’s negative value.
In terms of trailing 12-month price/sales, WKHS is currently trading at 2331.91x, which is much more expensive than LI, which is currently trading at 9.76x. Moreover, WKHS is more expensive in terms of EV/Sales also (3599.65x versus 32.09x).
Thus, LI is the more affordable stock here.
Both WKHS and LI are prominent companies set to gain from the EV revolution considering their market dominance and continued expansion. However, LI appears to be a better buy based on the factors discussed here. Basically, it’s a cheaper investment option to ride the EV wave.
Want More Great Investing Ideas?
LI shares were trading at $31.26 per share on Wednesday afternoon, down $0.89 (-2.77%). Year-to-date, LI has gained 89.91%, versus a 16.69% rise in the benchmark S&P 500 index during the same period.

text: Gaofen-1 panchromatic/multispectral (GF-1 PMS) data have both high spatial and temporal resolutions, and this research aims at evaluating the potential of GF-1 PMS data for crop classification. Three PMS images (at days 110, 192, and 274) were acquired in Manas County of Xinjiang. The images were first segmented and all objects were then visually interpreted based on ground reference data. Some indices and textual features were then extracted at the object level. Subsequently, the Jeffries–Matusita (JM) distance was employed to estimate the class separability among all pair-wise comparisons of each time period. Afterward, a random forest algorithm was used to calculate importance scores of all features and classify crop types for every possible image combination. Additionally, to evaluate the influence of feature number on classification accuracy, features were added one by one based on the importance of scores. The result showed that GF-1 PMS images with high-spatial resolution had the potential to identify the boundary of the crop fields. Relatively high JM distance (above 1.5) and classification accuracy (above 90%) indicated that day 192 image contributed the most to the crop identification in the study area. For multi-image combinations, days 110 to 192 combination can achieve high overall accuracy (around 93%) and more images cannot substantially improve the classification performance. As for features, normalized difference vegetation index and near infrared (NIR) band had the highest importance scores and textual features contributed to distinguishing tree from crop land. Finally, classification accuracy increased together with the augmentation of feature number when only a few features were used. After accuracies reached saturation points, however, more features only slightly improved the classification performance.

The Iskanders in Armenia: Restoration of a Balance or a New Round of the Arms Race?
A military parade rehearsal is always a big deal. Yet the media’s interest in a rehearsal that took place in Yerevan on September 16, 2016 was not caused by the fact that Armenia was about to celebrate the 25th anniversary of its independence. The Russian-made Iskander missiles were spotted in the streets of Yerevan that day. Armenia’s Iskanders have remained in the crosshairs of attention of journalists and analysts alike ever since.
There are many reasons for that. First of all, this is the first time the Iskander, a Russian-made operational tactical missile complex, was provided to the armed forces of a foreign state. Most likely though, this is an export version featuring a reduced range of 250–280 kilometers (instead of the standard 500). That said, this is more than enough for the Armenian armed forces given the configuration of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. The special attention enjoyed by the supply of the Iskanders to Armenia is due to the so-called “four-day war”. Most likely, the Iskanders appeared in the Armenian army before April 2016: Rumours of their actual or anticipated presence there had been swirling since 2013; however, early reports showed that they would be delivered to Russia’s 102nd Base. Their display at the September parade was a step intended to confirm that Armenia indeed possessed the Iskanders, and thus to close the case.
Vladimir Putin Meets with Serzh Sargsyan:
Moscow Supports a Compromise
After the April events even Armenia’s president Serzh Sargsyan, known for his cautiousness in public pronouncements, raised the issue of the Russian arms supplies at a meeting with Russia’s PM Dmitry Medvedev.
No matter when exactly the Iskanders arrived to Armenia, the fact that Yerevan has them at all helps maintain a balance between the two sides of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. Recent years saw a lot of talk about how this balance had been tilted as Azerbaijan used oil revenues to build up its military potential. At the same time, Armenia was particularly appalled by the fact that Russia, Armenia’s strategic ally, was also the biggest supplier of arms to Azerbaijan. Whereas prior to 2016 Moscow was blamed for those supplies mainly by the media, the expert community or by civil activists, after the April events even Armenia’s president Serzh Sargsyan, known for his cautiousness in public pronouncements, raised the issue of the Russian arms supplies at a meeting with Russia’s PM Dmitry Medvedev.
Russian experts tend to explain the continuing arms supplies to Azerbaijan by, first of all, the fact that they are consistent with the objectives of Russia, which is interested in a partnership with Azerbaijan. Secondly, they are necessary to maintain a balance of power in the region. Yet the fact that the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh has been deteriorating over recent years has naturally concerned all interested parties, including Moscow. The flare-up of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in recent years is largely a result of Baku’s increased confidence in their military superiority. Apparently, the supply of the Iskanders to Armenia was intended to remind Azerbaijan that the conflict has no military solution, a mantra often repeated by its intermediaries.
The flare-up of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in recent years is largely a result of Baku’s increased confidence in their military superiority.
This is important for Moscow, since any further escalation of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict could lead to rather undesirable consequences. If the hostilities spread from the territory of the self-proclaimed Nagorno-Karabakh Republic into Armenian territory, Moscow will face a tough dilemma: Either to shrink from meeting its obligations as an ally, which would deal a harsh blow to the prestige of Russia and the CSTO, or to risk a conflict with Azerbaijan. That’s why, from Moscow’s standpoint, it is necessary to maintain a balance between the parties in order to avoid an aggravation of the conflict. What’s more, arms supplies to Armenia as well as initiatives such as the establishment of a joint Russian–Armenian military force not only help maintain a balance in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, but also bind Yerevan to Moscow with even closer ties and strengthen Moscow’s positions in Transcaucasia.
Azerbaijan and the Four Day War: Breaking
the Karabakh Deadlock
That the demonstration of the Iskanders led to less than positive reactions in Azerbaijan and Turkey was to be expected. Some experts in Georgia expressed some concerns over new Russia-sourced weapons, even though the official Tbilisi didn’t see any basis for preoccupation. The Western expert community noted the arrival of the Iskanders to Armenia too. Certain observers expressed concerns that this could lead to further arms race.
To what extent are such concerns justified? As a matter of fact, both Armenia and Azerbaijan have long faced the so-called security dilemma, where steps by either party to protect its security create a potential threat for the other party. And yet the supply of the Iskanders to Armenia as a step aimed at maintaining a balance will likely help restore a certain level of stability and predictability in the situation around Nagorno-Karabakh. In any case, despite the tough rhetoric coming from both sides and experts’ warnings of a possible repetition of the April events, the situation on the front line was relatively calm in the autumn.

Today, we did a final 7-years war battle, hoping David would be able to make it, (his wife is ill, sadly.) As it turns out, it was just Phil, Lawrence and I today again. I had brought my Prussians again to try and improve on their last performance!, where my horse were scattered by Austrian Kuirassiers!
Phil had a brigade of Musketeers, and one of Grenadiers, supported by 2 guns. His horse was 2 half squadrons of Hussars backed by a regiment of Dragoons.
I had Frederick (!) and 2 brigades of musketeers supported by a gun, and a cavalry brigade of 2 Kuirassier and a Dragoon regiment.
Lawrence had a long but weak line of infantry, well supported by guns, and a 'cavalry' brigade of 3 regiments a battalion of light infantry and a regiment of light cavalry on either wing.
Their brigadiers would have a job trying to command such mixed and large brigades!
The French had command of a low hill.
An overview at the start.
I was able to get all my horse on the Prussian left moving, supported by a medium gun from the infantry centre. I thought I might be able to defeat the French horse before they could properly deploy?
Phil had a steep hill on his right, but his Hussars traversed it quickly and easily, their supporting Dragoons trailed a bit though!
The French stood awaiting our attack, using their guns to pound us.
The French left got a pair of '1's for command, and failed to activate!
My horse were not troubled by the long range artillery.
Phil, also, was untroubled, and managed to traverse the steep hill untroubled.
Phil advanced his infantry too, I moved more slowly, in echelon, to dissuade the French from using their longer line to outflank me.
Another bad roll for the Austro-French left command!
Facing my horse, the French managed to get their light troops deployed to face me...
... their Cuirassiers, Dragoons and Cheveaux-Legeres were still trying to get their orders to move!
Lawrence managed to get a gun forward to face mine...
...but suffered an unfortunate hit on the ammunition store!
On Phil's wing, the Austrian Széchényi Hussars and a battalion of French light infantry got deployed opposite the Prussian hussars.
Having disposed of the French gun, my gun found a good target...
...the massed French horse! The dragoons were worst hit as the ball bounced through them!
The French left was still throwing '1's, and was inactive!
The French guns supporting their centre now began to play...
My dragoons were disordered and fell back!, fortunately, Seydlitz, their brigadier, was soon able to steady them and bring them back.
Phil's infantry now engaged the French infantry on the hill, a crashing volley broke a battalion and drove back another, though the Prussians took casualties, they pushed on into the French.
My Kuirassiers, now with the dragoons back in support, first drove off the French light troops...
...and KR8 smashed into the French heavy cavalry.
Amazingly, the Prussian hussars beat the Austrian Széchényi Hussars...
...but now faced the Austrian Kuirassiers
However, with a hole in his front line, and his right wing destroyed, the unlucky French decided to retreat from the field, covered by their remaining cavalry.
It was an interesting game, though it would have been better had Lawrence's die rolling had been better!, the French cavalry was immobilised for much of the game!

After nabbing a Grammy for his rustic album “Dirt Farmer,” Legendary drummer/vocalist Levon Helm will return June 30 with “Electric Dirt.” The eleven song set will be released on Helms own Dirt Farmer Music, in conjunction with Vanguard. As with “Dirt Famer,” Helm recorded at The Barn, his studios in Woodstock, New York and reteamed with multi-instrumentalist Larry Campbell for production duties.
“Dirt Farmer” (which has sold 129,000 according to Nielson Soundscan) saw Helm emerge after a twenty-five year absence from solo work, exploring the rich, traditional roots of classic Americana and folk sounds. “Electric Dirt” promises to continue in that tradition, but will tap into more forms of the American musical canon. The original “Growing Trade” will feature horn arrangements from veteran New Orleans R&B musician Allen Toussaint. Randy Newman’s “Kingfish” gives a nod to the musical heritages of ragtime era New Orleans as well.
Longtime fans of the Band know that the Grateful Dead often covered the Band’s classic “The Weight” in concert, and Helm seemingly returns the gesture by opening the set with the Garcia/Hunter penned tune “Tennessee Jed” from the group’s early 70’s era.
Helm’s band is scheduled to make a short run of shows in mid June, with stops at Red Rocks in Morrison, Colorado (June 13), Cain’s Ballroom in Tulsa, Oklahoma (June 16) and the Walton Arts Center in Fayetteville, Arkansas (June 18). In addition to this, Helm will continue his “Midnight Ramble” sessions held on a weekly basis starting back up on April 18 and are slated to run through May 30. The first come, first serve style seating feature jam sessions held at The Barn and promise different special guests each week.
Here is the track list for “Electric Dirt”:
“Move Along Train”
“Stuff You Gotta Watch”
“You Can’t Lose What You Ain’t Never Had”
“When I Go Away”
“I Wish I Knew How it Would Feel To Be Free”

LONDON: A new report warns that a UK-India free trade deal could lead to “toxic pesticides” used in growing Indian food to harm UK human health and undermine British farmers if barriers to the export of Indian agri-food to Britain are relaxed.
The report, “Toxic Trade: How a trade deal with India threatens UK pesticide standards and farming”, claims that India has a strong economic interest in pressuring the UK government to weaken domestic pesticide standards in order to secure access to the UK market for India’s food exports.
It has been produced by Brighton-based charity Pesticide Action Network (PAN) UK, Sustain (an alliance of public interest organisations) and Dr Emily Lydgate, a senior lecturer at the university of Sussex.
The report states: “Trade deals encourage regulatory alignment on a wide range of issues, including pesticides. UK pesticide standards are considerably stronger than India’s in terms of protecting human health and the environment. As a result a UK-India FTA presents a risk to the health of UK citizens and the environment.”
The UK and India are in the midst of negotiating a comprehensive free trade agreement (FTA), with the UK government aiming to double trade with India by 2030. Negotiations between the two countries kicked off in January 2022 and they aim to conclude, in record time, by Diwali.
The report says: “UK imports of Indian agri-food are currently fairly low, leaving potential for a major increase under new trading arrangements. Indian negotiators are likely to focus on removing non-tariff barriers, which would almost certainly include pressure on the UK to facilitate Indian exports by allowing larger amounts of more toxic pesticides in food. If the UK government bows to demands from Indian negotiators then the increased risk to the health of UK consumers could be significant."
But the UK government strongly refutes these claims in the report pointing out that the India FTA will have no effect on the UK’s existing WTO rights to regulate the import of products which are produced using pesticides that are harmful.
A UK government spokesperson told TOI: “We have strict statutory limits for pesticide residue levels on imported food and a robust programme of monitoring. An FTA with India won’t change this — products which don’t meet our requirements won’t be permitted to enter the UK market. We will not expose UK farmers to unfair competition or compromise our high standards.”
UK food imports are allowed to contain small amounts of pesticide residues that are banned in the UK. The report warns that Indian producers would have a competitive advantage as they can operate more cheaply using “harmful pesticides that are banned in the UK.”
India allows the use of 62% more HHPs (highly hazardous pesticides) than the UK, the authors state.
Apples and grapes in India are both permitted to contain 200 times the amount of insecticide malathion than their UK equivalents whilst Indian carrots are permitted to contain 500 times the amount of fungicide captan than UK carrots, the authors claim.
The report then claims that India has frequent problems with its food exports being rejected owing to high pesticide levels”, with 200 tonnes of basmati rice rejected every month by importing countries.
“When a pesticide is banned for use in the UK, it is theoretically not allowed to appear in food, thereby restricting imports. As a result, Indian agribusiness would have much to gain if the UK agreed to weaken its approach by approving new harmful pesticides or overturning existing bans,” the report states.
“With Indian food exports regularly containing high levels of pesticide residues, and the UK border control seemingly under-resourced, it is highly likely that a rise in Indian food exports incentivised by an FTA will result in the increased exposure of UK consumers to harmful pesticides. Rushing through the negotiations on a complex FTA in less than a year with a government known to aggressively lobby to weaken pesticide standards only increases that risk,” it says.
The report goes further and claims that India has one of the highest rates of unintentional pesticide poisoning, with roughly 30,000 fatalities every year. “India also suffers from high rates of farmers committing suicide by swallowing pesticides… Many Indian farmers struggle to read the label on a pesticide product to ensure they are using it properly, let alone access the required PPE”. It claims that the use of counterfeit or illegal pesticides in India accounts for approximately 30% of pesticides used and describes India’s pesticide regulatory system as “opaque and out of date.”
The report, dated August 2022, stretches the argument even further saying: “If UK negotiators agree to weaken UK pesticide standards, thereby incentivising an increase in Indian agri-food exports, then UK diets are likely to contribute to further increases in pesticide-related harms in India.”

The Eemian (also called the last interglacial, Sangamonian, Ipswichian, Mikulin, Kaydaky, Valdivia or Riss-Würm) was the interglacial period which began about 130,000 years ago and ended about 115,000 years ago. It corresponds to Marine Isotope Stage 5e. Although sometimes referred to as the "last interglacial" (in the "most recent previous" sense of "last"), it was the second-to-latest interglacial period of the current Ice Age, the most recent being the Holocene which extends to the present day (having followed the last glacial period) . The prevailing Eemian climate is believed to have been warmer than that of the Holocene.

- Definition of the Eemian
The Eemian is known as the Ipswichian in the UK, the Mikulin interglacial in Russia, the Valdivia interglacial in Chile and the Riss-Würm interglacial in the Alps. Depending on how a specific publication defines the Sangamonian Stage of North America, the Eemian is equivalent to either all or part of it.
In northern mists dr rny sveinbj rnsd ttir the eemian interglacial in greenland ice cores
The Eemian climate is believed to have been about as stable as that of the Holocene. Changes in the Earth's orbital parameters from today (greater obliquity and eccentricity, and perihelion), known as Milankovitch cycles, probably led to greater seasonal temperature variations in the Northern Hemisphere, although global annual mean temperatures were probably similar to those of the Holocene. The warmest peak of the Eemian was around 125,000 years ago, when forests reached as far north as North Cape, Norway (which is now tundra) well above the Arctic Circle at 71°10′21″N 25°47′40″E. Hardwood trees such as hazel and oak grew as far north as Oulu, Finland.
At the peak of the Eemian, the Northern Hemisphere winters were generally warmer and wetter than now, though some areas were actually slightly cooler than today. The hippopotamus was distributed as far north as the rivers Rhine and Thames. Trees grew as far north as southern Baffin Island in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago: currently, the northern limit is further south at Kuujjuaq in northern Quebec. Coastal Alaska was warm enough during the summer due to reduced sea ice in the Arctic Ocean to allow Saint Lawrence Island (now tundra) to have boreal forest, although inadequate precipitation caused a reduction in the forest cover in interior Alaska and Yukon Territory despite warmer conditions. The prairie-forest boundary in the Great Plains of the United States lay further west near Lubbock, Texas, whereas the current boundary is near Dallas, Texas. The period closed as temperatures steadily fell to conditions cooler and drier than the present, with 468-year-long aridity pulse in central Europe 116 000 BC, and by 112 000 BC, a glacial period had returned.
Kaspar et al. (GRL, 2005) performed a comparison of a coupled general circulation model (GCM) with reconstructed Eemian temperatures for Europe. Central Europe (north of the Alps) was found to be 1–2 °C warmer than present; south of the Alps, conditions were 1–2 °C cooler than today. The model (generated using observed GHG concentrations and Eemian orbital parameters) generally reproduces these observations, leading them to conclude that these factors are enough to explain the Eemian temperatures.
Sea level at peak was probably 6 to 9 m (20 to 30 feet) higher than today, with Greenland contributing 0.6 to 3.5 m, thermal expansion and mountain glaciers contributing up to 1 m, and an uncertain contribution from Antarctica. Global mean sea surface temperatures are thought to have been higher than in the Holocene, but not by enough to explain the rise in sea level through thermal expansion alone, and so melting of polar ice caps must also have occurred. Because of the sea level drop since the Eemian, exposed fossil coral reefs are common in the tropics, especially in the Caribbean and along the Red Sea coastlines. These reefs often contain internal erosion surfaces showing significant sea level instability during the Eemian.
A 2007 study found evidence that the Greenland ice core site Dye 3 was glaciated during the Eemian, which implies that Greenland could have contributed at most 2 m (6.6 ft) to sea level rise. Scandinavia was an island due to the inundation of vast areas of northern Europe and the West Siberian Plain.
Definition of the Eemian
The Eemian Stage was first recognized from boreholes in the area of the city of Amersfoort, Netherlands, by Harting (1875). He named the beds "Système Eémien", after the river Eem on which Amersfoort is located. Harting noticed the marine molluscan assemblages to be very different from the modern fauna of the North Sea. Many species from the Eemian layers nowadays show a much more southern distribution, ranging from South of the Strait of Dover to Portugal (Lusitanian faunal province) and even into the Mediterranean (Mediterranean faunal province). More information on the molluscan assemblages is given by Lorié (1887), and Spaink (1958). Since their discovery, Eemian beds in the Netherlands have mainly been recognized by their marine molluscan content combined with their stratigraphical position and other palaeontology. The marine beds there are often underlain by tills that are considered to date from the Saalian, and overlain by local fresh water or wind-blown deposits from the Weichselian. In contrast to e.g. the deposits in Denmark, the Eemian deposits in the type area have never been found overlain by tills, nor in ice-pushed positions.
Van Voorthuysen (1958) described the foraminifera from the type site, whereas Zagwijn (1961) published the palynology, providing a subdivision of this stage into pollen stages. At the end of the 20th century, the type site was re-investigated using old and new data in a multi-disciplinary approach (Cleveringa et al., 2000). At the same time a parastratotype was selected in the Amsterdam glacial basin in the Amsterdam-Terminal borehole and was the subject of a multidisciplinary investigation (Van Leeuwen, et al., 2000). These authors also published a U/Th age for late Eemian deposits from this borehole of 118,200 ± 6,300 years ago. A historical review of Dutch Eemian research is provided by Bosch, Cleveringa and Meijer, 2000.


Apple and Microsoft agree on one thing: It's time to say goodbye to single-user environments, where each user device is a separate island from the rest of the user's computing world. Apple paved the way with iOS and iCloud, introducing a cloud-based syncing service across devices. Microsoft's Windows 8 takes the concept further, keeping not just data but application state in sync. This shift will drastically change how people work on computers, giving applications dramatic new utility. Automatic data syncing coupled with context, such as location, available input methods, connectivity, and sensor-driven data, will give rise to truly user-centric computing, profoundly altering how IT approaches applications, security models, and other tech policies and strategies centred on user productivity.

Amy Macdonald's song for Butler
Amy Macdonald has revealed she wrote her song An Ordinary Life for Gerard Butler.
The Bounty Hunter actor is a fan of the singer and she went to meet him at the premiere of his film Law Abiding Citizen, but was so stunned by the flock of hangers-on he attracted that she was inspired to write the song instead.
Amy, 22, revealed: "I thought, 'This is bizarre, this Hollywood actor telling me I rock and I'm amazing,' but that night there were so many people there just so hungry for fame - all these people were round him like flies on, you know..."
She added: "So that song's actually about him. You're in this room and everyone's looking at you.
"For me, I've still got that ordinary life."........


Vermont judge is on fast track to confirmation
BURLINGTON (AP) - Vermont Supreme Court Justice Geoffrey Crawford is on a fast track to confirmation to Vermont's federal court.
Crawford was nominated by President Barack Obama May 19 and was unanimously approved by the Senate Judiciary Committee June 12. Sen. Patrick Leahy says the full Senate could confirm Crawford as early as Tuesday.
The Burlington Free Press quotes Richmond Law School Professor Carl Tobias as saying Crawford's nomination is proceeding at "warp speed."
Crawford, 59, served more than a decade as a superior court judge before being nominated last year to the state Supreme Court.
If Crawford is confirmed Tuesday, he will have gone from nomination to confirmation in just 35 days.
"The only other judge that moved that fast in the last 10 years was Christina Reiss," Leahy told the Free Press, referring to Vermont's other U.S. District Court judge. Leahy said Reiss went from nomination to confirmation in 39 days.
Crawford would succeed federal judge William Sessions, who took senior status this month and will work part-time.
Leahy said he has made it clear to his Senate colleagues that Sessions' retirement will create a "judicial emergency" in Vermont.
Tobias told the Free Press that the pace of Crawford's confirmation process exceeds any of Obama's 310 nominees. He said most judicial appointments have taken 180-220 days to clear the Senate.
Tobias noted that Leahy's clout as chair of the Judiciary Committee certainly helps.
Crawford, who lives in Burlington, has an undergraduate degree from Yale and graduated from Harvard Law School.

Written by Steven Hansen,
Have you been wondering when the next recession will hit? Seems like recession stories appear daily in the media. This should scare the bejesus out of investors who would want to position themselves for a recession. I find this emphasis on recession trash talk interesting.
Please share this article – Go to the very top of the page, right-hand side, for social media icons
Let me start by saying that currently – outside of a yield curve inversion – there is no reliable short or long term indicator warning of a recession. Recession forecasting becomes more-and-more inaccurate the further out one forecasts. Six months seems to be the outside limit for a quantitative and objective forecast. Most of the recession forecasters I have read are forecasting a recession from one to two years away. These are subjective forecasts.
At this point, no forward-looking quantitative economic forecast is warning of a recession. Our September economic forecast issued this week [discussed later in this post] improved modestly for the second month in a row.
A recession will happen in the future at some point – this is a bettable certainty. And sooner or later a recession forecast will end up being correct.
I find it interesting that there was a major economic downturn in 2016 – and there was no recession trash talk them. I am believing that the media’s hatred of President Trump is influencing negative coverage of the economy. This manipulation by the press and corporate entities goes back to the late 19th and early 20th centuries fostered by yellow journalism and the likes of Edward Louis Bernays whose propaganda supported World War I, convinced people Ivory Soap was superior, bacon and eggs was the best way to start the day, helped the CIA orchestrated overthrow of the Guatemalan government, and got women to smoke by branding cigarettes as feminist.
Propaganda as defined:
Propaganda is information that is not objective and is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented.
The current round of recession talk should be considered propaganda.
History shows that a first-term President lucky enough to have a growing economy is usually re-elected. Those who do not like President Trump need to trash the economy.
No one should blame President Obama for the crappy economy he was stuck with. A good economy requires some luck (events which boost the economy), the Federal Reserve proper stewardship of monetary policy, and a Congress working on fiscal policy to boost the economy. President Obama was stuck with a Fed which never shifted out of a recession-recovery gear and a Congress which literally did nothing to boost the economy. Have things changed much under President Trump? The Federal Reserve remains behind the eight ball in interpreting inflation and economic direction whilst Congress continues to do nothing.
President Trump is wrong in saying the economy is “strong” but a President is a cheerleader for the economy. If he said the economy was tubing, likely it would tube.
As an investor, I am not positioning myself for a recession – but for changing economic dynamics.
The Econintersect Economic Index has a long term decline which began in July 2018 – this month (September 2019) our forecast again marginally improved for the second month but continues to predict very little growth.
The fundamentals which lead jobs growth are now showing a significant slowing growth trend in the employment growth dynamics. We are currently predicting the jobs growth to be below the growth needed to maintain participation rates and the employment-population ratios at the current levels.
Economic Releases This Past Week
The following table summarizes the more significant economic releases this past week. For more detailed analysis – please visit our landing page which provides links to our complete analyses.
Overall this week:
family income continues to grow at a good rate
transport continues to warn of soft growth
consumer sentiment weakens
|Potential Economic Impact
|July Durable Goods
|soft growth all attributable to civilian aircraft
The headlines say the durable goods new orders improved. Our analysis shows the rolling averages improved.
In the adjusted data, the major strength was civilian aircraft – but most other sectors were weak. This series has wide swings monthly so our primary metric is the unadjusted three-month rolling average – which improved but remains in contraction. The rate of growth of the rolling averages is below the values seen over the last year.
July Chicago Fed National Activity Index
The economy’s rate of growth marginally accelerated based on the Chicago Fed National Activity Index (CFNAI) 3 month moving (3MA) average – but the economy remained below the historical trend rate of growth.
Even with this improvement, the economy has slowed from its rate of growth in 2018.
The single month index which is not used for economic forecasting, and unfortunately is what the CFNAI headlines. Economic predictions are based on the 3-month moving average. The single month index historically is very noisy and the 3-month moving average would be the way to view this index in any event.
The previous months’ data were revised down.
|June Case-Shiller Home Price Index
The non-seasonally adjusted S And P CoreLogic Case-Shiller home price index (20 cities) year-over-year rate of home price growth slowed from 2.4 % to 2.1 %. The index authors stated, “Home price gains continue to trend down, but maybe leveling off to a sustainable level”.
20 city unadjusted home price rate of growth decelerated 0.3 % month-over-month. [Econintersect uses the change in year-over-year growth from month-to-month to calculate the change in the rate of growth]
|2Q2019 Household Debt
|some correlation borrowing increase fuels some growth
The latest Quarterly Report on Household Debt and Credit reveals that total household debt increased by $192 billion (1.4 percent) to $13.86 trillion in the second quarter of 2019. It was the twentieth consecutive quarter with an increase, and the total is now $1.2 trillion higher, in nominal terms than the previous peak of $12.68 trillion in the third quarter of 2008.
|2Q2019 GDP Second Estimate
|GDP is a lagging indicator
The second estimate of second-quarter 2019 Real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was lowered from the advance estimates +2.1 % to +2.0 %.
The star of this quarter was consumer spending which dramatically increased over the previous quarter.
Headline GDP is calculated by annualizing one quarter’s data against the previous quarter’s data. A better method would be to look at growth compared to the same quarter one year ago. For 2Q2019, the year-over-year growth is now 2.3 % – down from 1Q2019’s 2.7 % year-over-year. So one might say that the rate of GDP growth decelerated by 0.4 % from the previous quarter.
|July Median Income
|income still growing but slower than expenditures
New data from the monthly Current Population Survey (CPS), indicate that median annual household income in July 2019 was $65,084, up $438 or 0.7 percent from June 2019 ($64,646).
The July 2019 median is 2.3 percent higher than that for July 2018, when the median stood at $63,614.
|July Pending Home Sales
|points to soft growth but recovering
The National Association of Realtors (NAR) seasonally adjusted pending home sales index declined and the year-over-year growth returned to contraction. Our analysis shows the year-over-year rate of growth improved. The quote of the day from this NAR release:
For the unadjusted data, the 3-month rolling averages remain in negative territory and the year-over-year growth for July returned to positive territory. The data is very noisy and must be averaged to make sense of the situation. Shorter-term trends are now improving. Note that the long-term downward trend of home sales began in mid-2015.
|July Personal Income and Outlays
|spending remains strong
The trend continues where income growth is outpacing consumption growth. Consumer income growth year-over-year is now higher than the spending growth year-over-year. For sustained growth of expenditures, income needs to grow at nearly the same rate.
The savings growth rate declined and continues to marginally trend downward since the beginning of 2019.
Real Disposable Personal Income is up 3.0 % year-over-year, and real consumption expenditures are up 2.7 % year-over-year.
Seasonally Adjusted Spending’s Ratio to Income (a declining ratio means the consumer is spending less of its Income)
|manufacturing grow soft whilst consumers survey weakened
August Dallas Fed Manufacturing – This survey remains in positive territory year-over-year with subindices new orders increasing (and in expansion) and unfilled orders improving but remaining in contraction. This should be considered a better report than last month.
Conference Board Consumer Confidence – The latest Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index’s headline number now stands at 135.1 (1985=100), down from 135.8 in July. Consumer confidence had been on a multi-year upswing. The current volatility is showing uncertainty by consumers.
Richmond Fed Manufacturing – Came in at 1 [values above zero represent expansion]. The important Richmond Fed subcategories (new orders and unfilled orders) improved with new orders barely in expansion and unfilled orders in contraction. This survey was modestly better than last month.
Chicago Purchasing Managers – The Chicago Business Barometer rose 6.0 points to 50.4 in August, up from 44.4 in July. The index had been in contractionary territory for two months before this month’s gain. The Fed manufacturing surveys were little changed this month showing little growth – and the Chicago Fed is consistent with the other surveys.
Michigan Consumer Sentiment – The final University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment for August came in at 89.8 – down from the preliminary of 92.1, and down from July final of 98.4.
|Definitely not positive news
Rail so far in 2019 has changed from a reflection of a strong economic engine to contraction. Currently, not only are the economic intuitive components of rail in contraction, but the year-to-date has slipped into contraction.

Henry James and the Art of Auto/biography Hardback
Part of the Dis/Continuities series
Henry James (1843-1916) has been widely acclaimed for the elegance of his prose, the incisiveness of his social comment, and the subtlety of his psychological analyses.
Whereas James's tales and novels have been carefully studied over the past decades, his non-fiction, including literary criticism, travel writing, biographies, and autobiographies, still remains at the margins of critical activities.
This study seeks to explore some of these neglected aspects of James's work, while at the same time interrogating the traditional formula of literary auto/biography.
It also attempts to piece together an image of James as a subject and object of biographical and autobiographical endeavors, including portraiture.

A stoppage by transport workers Tuesday demanding the government cap the price of gasoline has blocked the Pan-American Highway and has affected approximately 300,000 people in Pasto, the capital of the southwestern Nariño department, Colombian media reported.
According to a visual report by CM&, during the stoppage protesters threw stones, there were confrontations with the police, and riot trucks were brought in. In addition, police reported disturbances in several zones in the city.
The root cause of the protest was the high price of gasoline in the city. Various media sources have reported the price of gasoline in the city as being between $3.90 and $4.22 per gallon.
Miguel Angel Portilla, a Pasto merchant told financial publication Portafolio “it is not fair that in the city of Pasto a gallon of gasoline costs $4.00 while in other nearby municipalities like Tangua or La Florida it has the value of $2.81.”
Eduardo Alvarado Santander, Mayor of Pasto in southwest Colombian told Radio Nacional de Colombia they hope for a response from the government about a reduction in fuel price before September 30.

Oklahoma State has made 27 tournament appearances, and the Cowboys have made six Final Fours. They have a tournament record of 38-26, and won national championships in 1945 and 1946.

No. 4 Tufts Tops No. 13 Middlebury in Shootout
from press release
MEDFORD, Mass. - Visiting Middlebury controlled the early and late portions of the game, but Tufts dominated more in the middle and came away with a 14-13 victory over the Panthers in a battle of NESCAC top 15 men's lacrosse teams on Sunday at Bello Field.
Junior Dan Leventhal (Chappaqua, NY) scored four second-half goals to lead Tufts, who won their eighth straight. The #4 Jumbos improved to 8-2 overall and 4-2 in NESCAC.
Freshman Jon Broome (Mountain Lakes, NJ) finished with three goals and an assist for #13 Middlebury (8-2, 5-2 NESCAC).
The Panthers charged out to a 4-1 lead, with Broome's second goal of the first period giving them the three-goal margin with 2:57 remaining. However, Tufts scored an unlikely goal as time expired in the period. With 5.7 seconds on the clock, senior Matt Callahan (Acton, MA) flung the ball upfield from near the Jumbo goal. As the ball skidded through the Middlebury end, Jumbo sophomore Chris Schoenhut (Mill Neck, NY) retrieved it and scored to pull the Jumbos within 4-2.
The goal seemed to give Tufts some momentum. They scored the first two of the second period and tied it 4-4 with a Cole Bailey (Millersville, MD) tally at 11:02. However, Middlebury responded with three of the next four goals and led 7-5 after sophomore Joel Blockowicz (Potomac, MD) scored with 4:14 on the clock.
The Jumbos would tie the score at 7-7 heading into halftime, starting a 9-1 run that gave the hosts a 14-8 advantage early in the fourth. The Jumbos outscored the Panthers 6-1 in the third quarter as Leventhal scored three times and junior Beau Wood (Sherwood Forest, MD) added two more. Leventhal's fourth of the game gave Tufts the 14-8 lead early in the final quarter.
Middlebury rallied in the final nine minutes, scoring five unanswered goals by five different players to pull within 14-13. The Panthers had a man-up goal by senior Scott Redmond (Essex Fells, NJ) to start the run at 8:42 and then another by senior tri-captain Stew Kerr (Lake Forest, IL) making it a one-goal game with 24 seconds remaining. On the ensuring face-off, Jumbo senior Brian Ruggiero (Huntington, NY) got the win and Tufts was able to run out the clock.
Ruggiero won 16 of 29 face-offs overall in a strong performance. Bailey led Tufts with five points on two goals and three assists. Wood had a four-point game and junior Peter Bowers (Contestoga, PA) scored twice. Senior defenseman John Heard (Greenwich, CT) caused three turnovers and finished with five groundballs. Sophomore Garrett Read (Medfield, MA) also caused three turnovers. Freshman goalie Alex Salazar (Summit, NJ) recorded 13 saves.
Senior Mike Giordano (Ridgewood, NJ) added two goals and two assists to the Middlebury attack. Senior Andrew Metros (Kings Point, NY) had two goals and an assist, while Blockowicz tallied twice. Senior Zach Driscoll (Concord, MA) was excellent defensively causing five turnovers. Junior goalie Nate Gaudio (Cheshire, CT) made 11 saves.
Middlebury had a 47-41 final advantage in shots, though Tufts took groundballs 31-21. The Panthers capitalized on two of seven extra-man opportunities and held the Jumbos scoreless on their two man-up tries.
Tufts plays at Endicott on Tuesday night at 7 pm. Middlebury hosts Trinity next Saturday at 2 pm.
