A shaft generator system is widely used in a ship to provide sufficient power for the electric apparatus by using a part of the power produced by the main engine. We have already analyzed the steady-state characteristics and open-loop transient performances of the system. In this system, the output voltage and frequency should be kept constant. Hence, the closed-loop control systems for constant voltage and frequency of the system need to be investigated.<br>In this paper, transient performances of the shaft generator system for the case with closed-loop control system are analyzed first. The effects of the duplex reactor for eliminating the output voltage distortion and the controller constants of the system on the transient performances are clarified. Also, experimental transient responses are compared with simulated results. In order to give generality to the results, average constants of the shaft generator system are used in the investigation and the transient responses of the system with these constants are simulated. It is clarified that although the transient responses become oscillatory for the case with basic closed-control system, the responses are improved remarkably when the current minor-loops are incorporated into the system.

Ever since Priyanka Chopra Jonas ignored Manish Malhotra at the Umang 2020 show, an event by Bollywood celebrities for the Mumbai police, the industry’s gossip mills have been working overtime to figure out the reason. It appears, a miffed PeeCee was keen to tell the world that he had rubbed her the wrong way.
At the event, PeeCee greeted Arbaaz Khan and girlfriend Giorgia Andriani and Diana Penty but ignored Malhotra who was seated beside her. The star then went on to meet Shilpa Shetty Kundra and Tabu. Malhotra made PeeCee ooze sexiness in a saree in her most famous track, Desi girl, in Dostana (2008). Now, that’s the distant past. PeeCee has stopped wearing the designer’s creations — a clear giveaway.
Speaking of the actress’ on-screen journey, Priyanka Chopra Jonas was last seen in The Sky Is Pink, along with Farhan Akhtar. The actress kickstarted the year with a new music video What A Man Gotta Do, along with hubby Nick Jonas. This year, PCJ is also set to make her digital debut with The White Tiger. She has also signed Russo Brothers’ Citadel, which will be aired on Amazon Prime.
Speaking of The White Tiger is an adaptation of Aravind Adiga’s debut novel of the same name. The novel won Adiga the Man Booker Prize in 2008. The film is produced by Netflix in association with Mukul Deora.
It is also said that the actress is in talks with the makers of Matrix 4, and soon, she’ll be seen sharing the screen space with Keanu Reeves. The Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow film is being directed by series co-creator Lana Wachowski. She’ll join the previously announced Keanu Reeves, Carrie-Anne Moss, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Neil Patrick Harris. Details about her role in the film are yet to be disclosed by the team.
Isn’t that great news? We can’t wait for PeeCee to take this ‘red pill.’

A Floyd County man awaiting the resolution of a murder case against him in Floyd County pleaded guilty in a Pike County case last week.
Assistant Pike Commonwealth’s Attorney Melissa Goodman told the News-Express that Scotty Gibson, 25, of Prestonsburg, pleaded guilty on Friday to a misdemeanor charge of second-degree criminal mischief and agreed to serve a year in jail on that charge. The guilty plea came as part of an agreement which saw felony charges of engaging in a criminal syndicate and promoting contraband filed against him in October 2018 dismissed.
The charges in the October 2018 case were filed in relation to Gibson’s lodging in the Pike County Detention Center after he allegedly killed a man in the Floyd County Jail with a single punch. Gibson was charged with murder in relation to the man’s death and was brought to Pike County to be held while the case was pending.
While lodged in the Pike County Detention Center, Gibson allegedly took part in an operation with several other people to sneak drugs and other contraband into the jail by boring a hole in the wall of the jail and pulling the items into the jail using a string. Goodman said the plea agreement in that case calls for Gibson to serve a year in jail.
A second indictment handed down against Gibson in relation to his stay in the Pike County Detention Center which alleges he took part in a near-riot in the jail is ongoing, Goodman said. Gibson faces arson and other charges in that case. A status hearing in the case is scheduled for Oct. 4.
The Floyd County murder case is still ongoing, but is scheduled for a status hearing Sept. 19. Goodman said it is likely the murder case will be resolved at that Sept. 19 hearing.

- Shake Shack and Uber Eats signed an exclusive deal to offer delivery directly on the fast-casual giant's iOS app in a pilot that launched Wednesday.
- It's one of several moves the company has made to shift further online as people remain at home and urban centers see less lunch crowds.
- CMO Jay Livingston told Business Insider the company has signed up 1.4 million first-time purchasers through its digital channels since March.
- The company also plans to build out drive-up centers and continue to focus on its social media presence in the coming year.

Shake Shack signed an exclusive deal withto begin direct delivery of menu items through its own iOS app in a pilot that launched Wednesday. The service, which will start out in select areas of Miami, is expected to roll out nationwide early next year across the fast-casual giant's online and mobile platforms.
This is the latest addition to the company's "Shack Track" digital experience, which offers web and app ordering for pickup in store, curbside, and drive-up. Until now, delivery has only been offered through third parties like Grubhub and DoorDash. With Shake Shack adding direct delivery to its app, it now has the advantage of owning the relationship with its customers and their data.
"We've signed up 1.4 million first-time purchasers through our digital channels since March," CMO Jay Livingston told Business Insider. "This will give us a tremendous advantage. Now these guests are in our ecosystem and we know who they are and what they like, and we can begin to personalize their menus to make it a more delightful experience."
Founded in New York City in 2004 by award-winning restaurateur Danny Meyer of Eleven Madison Park, the company trades on the NYSE with a market cap of over $3 billion and has 300 restaurants worldwide, 200 in the United States. Its fans include Barack Obama, Joe Biden, James Corden, Hailey Baldwin Bieber, and SF Giants Hunter Pence. Known for serving up premium ingredients and a cool vibe, the company is working to bring its brand of enlightened hospitality into the digital world, with Livingston leading the charge.
"We're a very experiential brand," Livingston said. "Shake Shack is hard to do because we make everything to order with the freshest ingredients. We're never going to be super fast, we just can't make food that quickly, so we're focusing on efficiency by offering real-time order status for both delivery and pickup, and are looking at reformatting our kitchens, perhaps with a second make line, to help turn it faster for drive-thru."
Shake Shack currently has 70 curbside pickups and launched its first drive-up experience on December 7 at their Vernon Hills, Illinois, site. During an interview with Morgan Stanley earlier this month, CEO Randy Garutti said the full drive-thru experience will be coming later next year.
By comparison, competitors in the fast-casual market are way ahead. Panera added drive-thrus to nearly half of its sites and Chipotle has drive-thrus at nearly 60% of its sites. Digital sales now make up more than 60% of Panera's sales and close to half of Chipotle's sales.
Shake Shack's digital sales, meanwhile, have soared from 20% pre-COVID-19 to 60% of total sales in the third quarter, a tripling from the prior year, Livingston said. Digital services are expected to remain a strong driver of growth, he said, adding a layer of convenience heading into 2021 even as urban sites recover.
Shake Shack reported its urban sales remained down 33% in the third quarter, with suburban sales nearly back to pre-COVID-19 levels.
"In the short run, it's a challenging environment where people are not coming into the office," Livingston said. "We're suffering disproportionately because we are so heavy in a lot of urban markets. But we're from New York and will always be all about New York. It's core to who we are and we're optimistic about its future." Luckily, he added, pick-up and delivery times haven't changed all that much, with people ordering at all hours of the day despite less lunch crowds in urban centers.
To complement its digital focus, Shake Shack has pivoted its marketing and messaging accordingly.
"One of the big separators for how restaurants have been able to perform is how quickly they've been able to ramp up their digital capabilities because guests want to order off the site and get their food quickly," Livingston said. "This is why we launched Shack Track and have invested heavily in improving our app and web experience, done more performance and programmatic marketing, and shared what we're doing to promote teammate and customer safety."
Additionally, to grow their online community organically, Livingston's team has launched a TikTok channel, produced an IGTV cooking show, "Shake Shack At Home," and posted special promotions, like a giveaway of their popular Hot Chick'n spice.
"We're always innovating out of the Shake Shack Innovation Kitchen and currently looking at ways to help meat eaters get their veggies," Livingston said. "We've also done past collaborations on merchandising, something we want to do more of in the future."

Emirates Warns Boeing It Will Refuse 777x Jets If They Do not Meet Commitments

The influential trade veteran has raised considerations that Boeing had a latest historical past of over-promising on efficiency of recent jets, together with the in service 737 MAX and 787 Dreamliner.

“Until it’s doing what they mentioned it might do and contracted, we is not going to take that aeroplane.”
Boeing declined remark. Engine maker GE couldn’t instantly be reached for remark.
State-owned Emirates is likely one of the world’s largest long-haul airways, with a fleet of round 140 Boeing 777-300s and 115 Airbus A380s.
It has ordered 126 777x and 30 787s price over $50 billion at listing costs with the U.S. planemaker.
Boeing has been growing the widebody jet, a brand new model of its common 777 collection, with the aim of releasing it in late 2023, three years later than deliberate.
Emirates, who was speculated to obtain its first final July, doubts it can begin receiving the jets till 2024 although Boeing had instructed them it might come within the again finish of 2023, Clark mentioned.
“There are points on that airplane. I’m not altogether clear as to after we’re going to get them.”
He mentioned the delays meant Emirates, a launch buyer of the brand new jet, over the following three years had no visibility on how it might substitute its present 777-300s with the brand new 777x jets.
Clark repeated latest criticisms that Boeing wanted to undertake a cultural and governance change following the manufacturing of the flawed 737 MAX, which was suspended worldwide for practically two years following two deadly crashes.
He mentioned he not too long ago instructed Boeing to solely begin commercially producing a brand new plane as soon as it had been absolutely examined and authorized.

Nintendo's all-star brawler Super Smash Bros. Ultimate might not have taken out GOTY at this year's Game Awards, but it's at least picked up the best fighting game award.
Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America's president, took to the stage to receive this award on behalf of Nintendo and thanked Masahiro Sakurai and his team for their hard work and dedication:
To win this award, Smash Bros. Ultimate had to beat Dead or Alive 6, Jump Force, Mortal Kombat 11 and Samurai Shodown. Certainly not the easiest of opponents, and all of them with a rich fighting history.

Motion Capture (MoCap) system
Motion capture is a system designed to record movements of objects and/or people with high precision. Besides its application in animated movies and video games, this technology is also emerging as an important research tool in several areas of investigation. For example, it is used to record and analyse the gestures we perform while speaking; to look in detail at how we interact with everyday objects; to animate 3D-characters in VR (avatars); to examine how we walk in different conditions (for example, when we are tired); to track moving objects (engineering). In this tutorial, you will learn the basics of 3D movement data and techniques with hands-on recording exercises, and data post-processing, analysis and visualisation.

A digest of important news from sources selected by our local editors. Delivered weekday mornings.
If New Mexico state legislators don’t approve a number of economic development bills in the coming legislative session, New Mexico will find itself falling farther behind its neighboring states in terms of creating jobs, Association of Commerce and Industry President and CEO Beverlee McClure said Wednesday.
“We can’t sell the weather anymore. A lot of other states have good weather,” McClure told a breakfast gathering of the Economic Forum of Albuquerque at the Hotel Albuquerque at Old Town.
If federal sequestration budget cuts do occur, New Mexico will be in a difficult situation because the state’s private sector won’t be able to make up for jobs losses that occur because of those cuts. Various studies have estimated that sequestration could cost New Mexico 20,000 to 50,000 jobs. The state lost 53,000 jobs during the recession.
“We are not ready yet to end” the state’s dependency on federal dollars because “the private sector isn’t strong enough,” McClure said.
However, the effects of sequestration have already hit New Mexico because the government sector, which accounts for 24 percent of the state’s jobs, has shed more than 15,000 jobs over the past year, McClure added.
In the upcoming 60-day legislative session, ACI will be supporting a variety of economic development legislation, including bills regarding a single-weighted-sales factor, right-to-work requirements, an economic development closing fund, and informed consent for flight from Spaceport America.
McClure said New Mexico needs to develop a state-wide economic development plan that identifies the jobs and industries it wants to attract. Once a plan is in place, lawmakers can work to pass tax and other bills to attract those industries, McClure said.

He relives some of this as he speaks, something he has studiously avoided until now; his hands are shaking in his lap. When he sees me watching his hands, he shoots me a look of accusation, as if I have caught him out.
That’s from Little Liberia, Jonny Steinberg‘s latest impossibly good book about two Liberian men who come to Staten Island, one in 1986, the other in 2002. Steinberg is a South African scholar and writer. You can buy Little Liberia via Amazon UK. (I got my copy 12 days after ordering it, and shipping costs were not bad at all.)
Rufus, one of the men, has established himself as leader of Liberians in Staten Island by the time Liberian refugees start flooding the borough’s Park Hill neighborhood. Jacob arrives toward the end of the war. He is shocked to find that there are no reliable immigration and health services–the most pressing concerns for many Liberians in the community. The two men clash. Jacob wonders if the politics of Americo-Liberian exclusion have replicated themselves across time and the Atlantic. Steinberg summarizes the concern: “Could it be that wherever Liberians settled, some among them would become Congos, the rest helpless indigenes?”
Steinberg brings Rufus and Jacob to life through his attentiveness to their words, actions, and demeanor, which he observed during two years of shadowing them in New York and Liberia.
One of the most powerful passages in the book comes when Jacob describes his first reaction to America: He was infuriated.
…the level of development…it reinforced my belief that the Americo-Liberians had used Liberia as their farm, their dumping ground, their pet project. They had their homes here in America. They…went to hospital here when they were sick. I lost all respect for Americo-Liberians; for all those years, sending their children overseas and leaving us in the dark.
Beyond the substance of the book, I love Steinberg’s transparency about his interactions with his subjects, and how he wrestles to interpret what they are thinking and saying. “One is always performing, even in the most private corridors of one’s soul,” he writes. He describes Jacob’s unhappy response to the book manuscript, interprets the source of this unhappiness, and discusses the process of revision.
I also admire how Steinberg captures the small and large humiliations people suffer–humiliations that are only apparent to an outsider who is empathetic and understands the context.
I hope you enjoy this book as much as I did. I’d love to hear other thoughts.

Wall Street completed an impressive first-quarter 2021 after witnessing an astonishing rally in the pandemic-ridden 2020. Like last year, the first-quarter 2021 rally was broad-based in terms of different segments and sectors. Although, market participants are mainly concerned with large-cap stocks, a closer look into Wall Street reveals that it was the small-cap segment that performed the best in the quarter.
The three major stock indexes — the Dow, the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite — rallied 7.8%, 5.8% and 2.8%, respectively, in first-quarter 2021. The mid-cap specific S&P 400 climbed 13.1% in the same period. Meanwhile, the two small-cap centric indexes — the Russell 2000 and the S&P 600 — jumped 12.4% and 17.9%, respectively.
The possibility of a faster-than-expected reopening of the U.S. economy along with the unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus has restored market participants' confidence in small businesses. At this stage, it will be prudent to invest in small-cap stocks with a favorable Zacks Rank.
Reopening of the Economy
The U.S. government has accelerated COVID-19 vaccinations. The speeding up of the process implies chances of a faster-than-expected reopening of the U.S. economy. This along with the easing of the pandemic will significantly ramp up small business activities. Notably, National Federation of Independent Business reported that its Small Business Optimism Index rose to 95.8 in February from 95 in January.
Small businesses create a significant number of jobs in the U.S. economy. More than 50% of the newly created jobs in the private sector originate here. These people constitute a large part of customers for big businesses.
Moreover, small companies are a major part of the supply chain management systems of large companies for innovative and technologically superior inputs. Additionally, small businesses more often than not form a vital cog in corporate America's customer base.
Given their small-scale of operations, small businesses are generally cash-starved. These organizations operate on a thin profit margin and most new businesses are yet to achieve profitability. Therefore, the reopening of the economy will immensely benefit small businesses.
Stimulus Helps in Revival of Small Businesses
In March 2020, the U.S. government provided more than $800 billion to small businesses as part of the CARES Act, which ended in July. In June 2020, the Fed initiated a lending program of up to $600 billion to small and mid-sized businesses. Under this program, businesses with up to 15,000 employees or revenues of up to $5 billion will get a loan in the range of $250,000 to $300 million for 5 years at floating rate.
On Oct 30, the central bank reduced the minimum loan size to $100,000 from $250,000 and decided to ease restrictions on debt for companies already participating in the Paycheck Protection Program.
Moreover, President Joe Biden's newly injected $1.9 trillion stimulus includes $15 billion in grants to small businesses, along with $35 billion in low-interest loans. The Small Business Paycheck Protection Program of $284 billion in loans will also continue.

Lawsuit challenging state voting law likely to be dropped, following passage of Resolution 47
JACKSON, Miss. (WLBT) - A lawsuit challenging Jim Crow era rules for electing statewide officials could soon be dismissed, after Mississippi voters overwhelmingly approved Resolution 47, a ballot measure doing away with them.
“This should resolve the issues in the lawsuit,” said Beth Orlansky, counsel with the Mississippi Center for Justice. “Basically, this is what we asked for.”
The center for justice, along with four African American leaders from the state, filed suit in U.S. District Court last year to challenge the rule, a two-step process that was designed to disenfranchise Black voters enshrined in Mississippi’s 1890 state constitution.
The suit asked for an injunction heading into the 2019 statewide elections.
Instead, Chief District Judge Daniel Jordan held off to give the state time to change the law.
The legislature quickly moved forward, approving a resolution to amend the constitution on the 2020 ballot.
And on Tuesday, nearly 800,100 voters, 78 percent of those casting ballots, approved that measure.
“I’m glad to see the Mississippi has joined the rest of the country in being more respectful of everybody’s vote,” Orlansky said. “Basically, this is what we asked for.”
With the resolution’s passage, the two-tiered process for electing statewide officials will be stricken from the constitution and replaced with a process calling for a direct popular vote.
Under the previous rules, candidates had to win not only the popular vote, but a majority of state House districts.
Prior to the passage of the Voting Rights Act, Mississippi’s House districts could be drawn in a way to disadvantage African Americans, meaning that even if a black person won the popular vote, he or she would not have been able to clear the second step in the electoral process.
The statute was included as part of the state’s constitution, which was written at a time when Mississippi had a majority Black population.
Under the new rules, candidates elected to statewide office are selected through the popular vote, and only the popular vote.
If no one candidate wins a majority in the first race, the top two vote-getters go to a runoff.
“The method for conducting elections going forward will be under the new provisions passed yesterday,” Orlansky said. "It officially becomes part of the constitution. The people have spoken.”

1.Why aren’t Interest Rates Rising? Government’s Biggest Cost Will Soon Be Interest on Debt.
We have actually been blessed by this decline in interest rates in the United States. In 2000, the total interest cost of servicing the federal debt was $360 billion, based on a blended interest rate on government bonds of 6%. Today, the blended interest rate is 2.1% and the total interest cost is $400 billion, only $40 billion more on a debt burden three times the size of its 2000 level. If interest rates on government securities rise 1%, the cost of debt service would increase almost $200 billion, offsetting most of the budget cuts being proposed by the Trump administration

Investing in Europe: Where’s the Return?
By Michael Batnick, CFA
US investors aren’t too fond of European stocks these days and for good reason.
If you diversified across the Atlantic — the equivalent of eating your peas and carrots — you would have received zero over the past decade.
Not only have European stocks stagnated, they have experienced a gut-wrenching 66% drawdown (Vanguard’s FTSE Europe ETF), putting them squarely in the reward-free risk category. To add insult to injury, the opportunity cost would have been enormous, as US stocks doubled over the same period.
Understandably, US investors are retreating from European equities.
For just the third time in the last 50 years, US stocks have outperformed MSCI Europe by 100% over the previous 10 years.
The chart below plots the rolling 10-year performance difference between these two regions. The blue line indicates when European equities have outperformed over the previous 10 years, while the red line shows when US stocks have come out ahead. The green line highlights when US equities outpaced their European counterparts to the extremes that they have today. In the 44 previous readings when the spreads reached 100%, European stocks went on to outperform for the subsequent 10 years.
Now to be fair, past performance is irrelevant, and when N=2, well, yeah.

7.Loan Growth Slows in 3 of 4 Major Types.
CoreLogic Sees Signs of Credit Cracks

Here we go again?
Sam Khater, CoreLogic’s deputy chief economist, says loan performance is beginning to show some cracks in what has been a near perfect veneer. This might be an early signal of a downturn in the credit cycle. Khater is not issuing a warning, merely alerting those who should be watching such things to pay attention.
He writes, in an article in the CoreLogic Insights blog, that a typical economic expansion and recession are strongly driven by loan performance. When times are good, lenders take on more marginal borrowers then tend to become more conservative when loan performance begins to deteriorate. That often exacerbates an economic downturn.
Loan performance across the four major types of loans (agricultural, business, personal consumption, and real estate) all improved throughout the first five years of the expansion. Then, over the last year, performance of the first three loan types began to slip. Real estate loans bucked the trend, continuing to improve. Now, Khater says, there are small signs that their pristine levels of performance could be deteriorating.
Mortgage performance is typical measured by levels of delinquency and foreclosure but those, Khater says, are both backward looking and lag as indicators. One way to address that is through transition rate analysis. This method controls for time by looking, in the case of his analysis, at loan vintage, i.e. production within a given year, which he says, allows for a much more nuanced view of performance.
By focusing on only those loans produced in the first 10 months of each year in question allowed Khater to include 2016 data in his analysis. His justification for the short and early time frame is that historically the first six to nine months of a loan’s performance have a very strong persistence, and loans tend to remain on a similar track years later. He starts his analysis with 2010 as the first full year of the expansion vintages and says underwriting has remained roughly similar since then.
He sees three trends emerging from his analysis of these six vintages. The loans originated in 2016 were the first where the serious delinquency rate after 10 months was higher than in the previous year. Second, there is clear clustering in those years when the economy was weaker compared with the other economies. The first two years, when the economy was still recoverying and falling home prices had not yet turned the corner, loans had a 0.32 serious delinqeucy rate compared to 2012 through 2014 where the rate averaged 0.21 percent. Then in 2015, with the economy recovering, job creation picking up and home prices flying, the loans originated that year had the lowest serious deliquency rate in two decades, 0.13 percent.
Last year economic growth slowed a full percentage point and Khater says, “affordability cracks began to show. The serious delinquency rate for the 2016 vintage worsened, rising to 0.17 percent at the 10-month mark. Granted, this is a modest increase, and performance is still very good when compared to that over the last 20 years, still that is a show of some weakness.”
Khater concludes, “Historically, when the mortgage credit cycle begins to deteriorate it continues to do so until the economy bottoms and the credit cycle begins to improve again. While the deterioration in mortgage performance is very small and rising from very low levels, it is important to track because turning points are critical but difficult to identify in real time.”

10. 10 Things Successful People Do to Solve Their Daily Problems
This guru of positive thinking offers 10 classic and timeless strategies to boost your problem-solving abilities.
By Marcel Schwantes
CREDIT: Getty Images
I’m a big fan of the positive psychology movement, which has gifted us with profound research on producing happiness, optimism, and creativity in the workplace.
While current iconic figures from science and academia are moving positive psychology into the mainstream (think Shawn Achor, Martin Seligman, and Richard Davidson, to name a few), another leading proponent of “positive thinking” — Dr. Norman Vincent Peale — rose to fame in the 1950s when he wrote the classic The Power of Positive Thinking.
Peale’s timeless philosophy and teachings on positive thinking have been praised by presidents spanning seven decades, including Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, and yes, even Donald Trump.
Some of his ideas and techniques were controversial at the time, and he received frequent criticism both from church figures and from the psychiatric profession.
I dug into my own archives to find what Peale had to say about how we can best deal with our own problem-solving challenges. What happens when we’re stuck and can’t find a way forward? Or, what’s the starting point to having a game plan to tackle our biggest obstacles?
Here’s what I found from Peale’s book Six Attitudes for Winners, which is still very much applicable today.
How to Solve a Problem (Abbreviated Version)
1.Seeds. The way to start out in solving a problem is to entertain a solid belief that every problem has the seeds of its own solution. You can find the answer to your problem if you look deeply into the problem itself.
2. Calm. Remain calm. Uptightness can block the flow of thought power. Reduce stress and tension so your mind can operate efficiently and under control.
3. Assembling. In dealing with a problem, objectively assemble all of the facts and gather all the data.
4. Paper. Lay out all of the component parts of the problem on paper, so that you can see them in orderly coherence. This helps clarify your thinking by bringing the various factors of a problem into systematic order. When you can see clearly, you’ll be better able to think clearly.
5. Force. Never try to force an answer to a problem. Keep your mind relaxed and allow the solution to open up naturally and become clear. The danger in trying to force an answer is that you may be forcing what you want rather than what is right (emphasis mine).
6. Prayer. Subject your problem to intensive prayer. Believe and affirm that through divine guidance you will receive insights and mental illumination.
7. Counsel. Often we need help with a problem. It is valuable, therefore, to get wise counsel.
8. Intuition. There is a subtle quality of mental processes that may be described as intuition, or the feel and impression of the right thing to do.
9. Meditation. Let the problem free-float in your mind. Refrain from pressure, tension, or even timing. Simply allow it to subsist in unhurried mental activity. Your mind will therefore produce the answer when needed.
10. Creativity. Put your trust in the creative power of your mind to arrive at a proper answer through the process of thinking, praying, and affirming.

But echoing stock market concerns over a rise in global COVID-19 infections, the dollar remained near its three-month highs on Wednesday.

The Honda’s Prologue The electric SUV will be based on General Motors’ platform, but Honda says it will have its own unique styling.
The automaker on Wednesday released a video of the design process for the Prologue, slated to launch in 2024. The SUV will have a “Neo-Rugged” design theme, Honda said in accompanying press release.
In the video, Sang-Hyuk Ahn, one of the designers at Honda’s Los Angeles design studio working on the project, says the Prologue will feature a long wheelbase, short overhangs and “capable tires” operate”. He added that the flexible packaging of electric powertrains has given designers more freedom than internal combustion vehicles, especially with regard to front-end styling.
Honda Prologue clay model
Jiro Ikeda, Prologue design project leader, said the video will be somewhat different from the Honda E hatchback sold outside the US. Glimpses of the models in the video and previously released teaser images hint at a design more closely resembling Honda’s current SUVs than the E.
The Prologue is also Honda’s first production model to be virtualized, the automaker said. However, as shown in the video, the designers have also created a traditional life-sized clay model.
Essentially, the Prologue will be based on GM’s Ultium electric vehicle platform, which includes large-format pocket-sized battery cells, a wireless battery management system, a heat pump, and a set of GM-designed motors. GM will also assemble the Prologue and an upcoming Acura electric SUV. The prologue is expected to be assembled with Chevrolet Blazer EV in Mexico, while Acura has been confirmed for the same Spring Hill, Tennessee, plant as the Cadillac Lyriq.
Honda has said that they will target up to 70,000 annual sales for the Prologue — though it won’t be made available in all 50 states initially. That said, this is the first Honda EV to go on sale widely, and Honda is preparing its dealers to sell the EV in larger numbers.
Honda recently phased out the Clarity Plug-In Hybrid, which is also offered in an all-electric version, leaving it with no plug-in models in its lineup in the US at this time. It’s part of a larger shift for Honda to offer more hybrids, including the reborn Civic Hybrid will replace Insight.
Honda plans to start selling electric vehicles based on its own new architecture in 2026. Separately, a project to develop affordable electric vehicles with GM will lead to the production of models for Honda in 2027.

Also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Charcot disease is a rare neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons. What are the first signs of the disease? Let’s take stock with Dr Wilfrid Casseron, neurologist in Aix-en-Provence.
A rare disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, which is more commonly called Charcot disease, is scary. With a poor prognosis, it leads to progressive muscle weakness, through damage to motor neurons.
Charcot disease, a rare pathology
To discuss the first symptoms of Charcot’s disease in the clearest possible way, Doctissimo interviewed Dr Wilfrid Casseron, a neurologist in Aix-en Provence. “Although amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is, it is true, a serious pathology, it remains quite rare and affects an average of 7,000 patients per year in France, ten times less than multiple sclerosis, for example.” he immediately recalls.
“As the first symptoms of the disease are quite general, it is important to remember that it is important to consult a doctor if you notice them, but not to panic unnecessarily.” he emphasizes again.
What are the first symptoms of the disease?
Patients affected by the disease often notice asymmetrical muscle weakness first. “In addition to this asymmetric muscle weakness, there may also be muscle atrophy and fasciculations. Fasciculations are spontaneous movements of the muscles, a bit like having worms under the skin. These three symptoms can be accompanied by cramps” indicates the specialist.
According to the expert, it is often the fasciculations that worry the patients who come to see him. “They did research on the internet and found that it could be linked to Charcot’s disease and consulted very worried. In reality, there are many other causes that can explain them“.
No sensory signs in Charcot disease
In some patients, it will be the ENT area that will be affected. “In 30% of cases, we find what we call a bulbar form of the disease. At this time, the patient presents difficulties with swallowing, speaking, chewing, with hypersalivation. There may be false routes and voice modification” further indicates Dr Casseron.
“But it’s something very marked, it’s not when it happens once and it disappears, it’s what we call paralytic dysarthria“. Finally, specifies the neurologist, “as it is the motor neurons which are affected, there are therefore never any sensory signs, in Charcot’s disease: no tingling for example.
Consult if these disorders appear
Wilfrid Casseron finally advises patients who present this type of disorder to consult a doctor quickly. “A neurologist will then prescribe the necessary tests to understand what is happening. Most often, he will order an electromyogram, with a blood test and an MRI of the brain and spinal cord. he further details.
“The differential diagnosis that is frequently found is compression of the cervical cord, which gives symptoms similar to those described previously. he concludes.

Well, back in the land of work after three weeks en vacances in relaxing and very hot France. Actually did a couple of gigs there which went well, one unscheduled one at a Marche Bio when our friends the organisers asked us to play a couple of sets. It was lovely except for one thing that I had overlooked; intense, muggy heat, performing in a field close to a river = mosquitoes. What do you do when you're in the middle of playing and can actually watch the little beggars landing on your arm and having their tea???......keep going is the answer. The second gig was more civilised, in a very chic bar/restaurant to a small but perfectly formed audience some of whom have become new fans. Bonjour.
Bonjour also to a Dutch couple Jimmy and Floor (think Fleur) who bought both of my albums at a vide grenier after I'd played them an impromptu song (at their request). Somewhat bizarre experience playing and singing beside a field somewhere in rural France on a Sunday morning while being filmed by a complete stranger :D
And now to the big news - Wickerman Festival gig this Friday at 1.30 in the Acoustic Tent. I will be ably assisted at this by Stuart. On the same day (not entirely coincedentally) my very first single is being released on all digital marketplaces. It's a double A side of 'Moonglow Music' and 'The End' - both of which are on the new album, 'Home' which is soon to be available. I've already got my copy and am delighted with it not only in its production and content but also in the cover and layout. (Thanks for all these elements to Marc, Ali, Martin and Belinda amongst others).
Watch this space for more details to follow re launch night etc.
Got to go now. Until the next time, enjoy the summer.

Met Gala: Kate Bosworth and Kirsten Dunst Pose in Vivid Looks
Celebrity makeup artist Pati Dubroff, who I interviewed last week on Eyeshadow Government, gave Kate Bosworth an edgy look. "We created really glowing skin with a strong matte brow, and matte lip,” said Dubroff. “It's all about the lip!”
Dubroff applied NARS Pure Matte lipstick in Volga to give Kate Bosworth's lips their deep color. For the face, Dubroff used NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer with SPF 30, Penny Lane Cream Blush and Douceur Blush. NARS Douceur blush is a wonderful, flexible shade. It's exciting to see Kate Bosworth taking risks on the red carpet.
Meanwhile, Kirsten Dunst's look was achieved with the help of top makeup artist James Kaliardos. He said, "The look is a nod to the glamour of the 1940s and 1970s. It's pretty, modern, and healthy.” To flatter her lips, Kaliardos used NARS Papua Lip Liner Pencil and Buenos Aires Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil. Dunst attended the gala with her designing women friends Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte.
