We would suggest every auctioneer has an escrow account (sometimes called a special account or trust account) for other people’s money — and in the case of auctioneers, sellers’ money — regardless of some states’ laws silent on this issue.
For instance, let’s say an auctioneer contracts with a seller to conduct an auction, and is charging a 15% seller commission and a 10% buyer’s premium. The contract also has the seller paying the auctioneer $2,500 in various expenses.
In this example, the auction’s gross proceeds are $424,050.00 (including the buyer’s premium.) This means the buyer’s premium ultimately going to the auctioneer (or seller) is $38,550.00 and the seller’s commission is likely $57,825.00.
If the buyer’s premium, seller’s commission, and expenses go to the auctioneer in entirety, the seller nets $325,175.00, and the auctioneer is paid $98,875.00. So, where does this $424,050.00 go? Where and how is it deposited?
We have held for decades that the entire $424,050.00 should go into the auctioneer’s escrow account, as all this money belongs to the seller initially. Then, as the contract dictates, the buyer’s premium, seller commission, expenses, and the seller are paid from the escrow account.
For example, if the auctioneer is due the buyer’s premium, seller commission, and expenses of $98,875.00 then two checks (or transfers otherwise) would be drafted — one to the auctioneer for $98,875.00 and one to the seller for $325,175.00.
As a side, we are privy to auctioneers charging a buyer’s premium without their client’s knowledge. This results in the buyer’s premium belonging to the seller/client with other possible damages due. It is widely held that auctioneers in an agency relationship must disclose to their principal all fees earned or forgo those fees: https://mikebrandlyauctioneer.wordpress.com/2022/04/18/buyers-premiums-agency-duty/.
There are other issues as well. Many times payments come from various sources and at different times. As well, some payments are never made, or made and then canceled. There could also be cases of buyers deserving a refund.
As a result, we hold that these escrowed funds should remain as such for a sufficient time to allow for all deposits and other issues to be resolved. We would suggest the auctioneer (agent) should not be paid until the principal (client) is paid.
It is important for every auctioneer to have a complete accounting of all deposits, payments, interest, fees, etc., and memorialize all accounting procedures in the contract gaining the seller’s knowledge and consent.
Too, it is paramount that auctioneers not commingle nor convert: https://mikebrandlyauctioneer.wordpress.com/2013/05/21/auctioneers-cant-commingle-nor-convert/. Commingling is putting personal funds in with escrowed monies and conversion is putting escrowed funds in with personal funds.
Three issues where auctioneers can find themselves in peril include lack of documentation/accounting, commingling, or converting funds. This is most easily managed with auctioneers having an escrow account for all gross auction proceeds, with disbursal thereafter.

Surveying the 2011 Legislative Landscape: Postsecondary Funding
As this year’s legislative sessions wrap up, we have begun to analyze over 80 new enactments that have implications for college completion. Our first blog covers postsecondary funding, which has become a hot topic as states seek to increase degree attainment in a time of limited resources for higher education. In 2011, many states looked to their funding policies as a lever to drive increased productivity, particularly as it relates to college completion.
Student Success-Based Funding
Twelve legislatures have enacted policies in 2011 related to incentive funding or the creation of performance metrics. While it is important to note how many states are considering a certain course of action, it is more practical to think of how, under what conditions and to what degree states are approaching funding changes. If the states were placed onto a continuum, they would fall into three main categories:
- Planning: Those legislatures that charge commissions, agencies, or institutions with studying how to base part of the funding formula on student completions.
- Establishing the Framework: Those legislatures that develop metrics or the outlines of a funding framework, often in prior consultation with the postsecondary system.
- Implementing the Framework: Those legislatures that, after having developed a framework, articulate how it should be implemented.
Nevada’s Senate Bill 374 creates a committee to consider funding based on course completions and other performance metrics yet to be defined. The legislative intent is to learn from other states’ performance funding experiences.
Texas’s House Bill 9 proposes specific progress and outcome metrics and a more intentional alignment between funding and state strategic goals. The law charges the higher education coordinating board with implementing the metrics and developing a funding framework around them.
Arkansas’s Senate Bill 766 phases in outcomes-based funding over a five-year period until it constitutes 25% of the total appropriation. The component metrics include student retention and transfer rates, number of credentials awarded overall and number of graduates from underserved populations.
Welcoming Your Feedback
If you would like to see us cover a specific policy issue or if you have feedback on postsecondary funding, let us . Stay tuned for more blog posts on 2011 legislative trends! Our next post will cover postsecondary acceleration and early college opportunities.
Following is an embedded table from our policy database detailing 2011 legislative actions on postsecondary funding.

U.S. House' Hoyer: House in near future to take up bill to raise minimum wage to $15
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said Tuesday the House will take up legislation "in the near future" to raise the minimum wage to $15 over five years, after the pathway to including the proposal in a COVID-19 relief bill now being considered by Congress was blocked by Senate rules.

Fans of period dramas and gothic thrillers are in for an evening of spine-tingling tales when The Haunting comes to Theatre Royal Winchester from Thursday 05 October.
The Haunting by Hugh Janes is adapted from ghost stories written by Charles Dickens and opens on an ancient, crumbling mansion where two men stumble across a dark secret. It begins with book dealer, David Filde, employed by Lord Gray to catalogue his impressive library. But as a series of strange events unfolds to keep Filde from his work, he must convince his sceptical employer that the mysterious phenomena he is experiencing is real and they must journey together to discover the source of the terrifying visitations.
The Haunting is brought to the stage by Conn Artists Theatre Company whose productions (often a reimagining or adaptation of a classic or neglected work) resonate with universal themes about the human condition; are relevant; and have a social impact on today’s society. Conn Artists’ recent tour of A Perfect Likeness – an imagined encounter between Dickens and Lewis Carroll – received outstanding reviews and The Haunting will reunite actors David Stephens (Gray) and Ross Muir (Filde). The company’s previous productions have also included Mary Rose and The Importance of Being Oscar.
This gripping adaptation will have audiences on the edge of their seat.
The Haunting by Hugh Janes will be at Theatre Royal Winchester from Thursday 05 October to Saturday 07 October, various times. Recommended age: 12+. For more information or to book tickets visit theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk or call 01962 840 440.

Two of Aladdin - The Musical's lead stars are happy to be performing in Auckland, a place they both once called home.
Graeme Isaako, who plays the titular character Aladdin, and Adam Murphy, who plays villain Jafar, spoke to 1 NEWS reporter Ryan Boswell at Auckland's Civic Theatre where the show has an extended run until early March.
Isaako says the musical is a good companion piece to Disney's popular film version.
"Especially with the role of Aladdin I really feel like everyone can relate to him, whether you're cheeky or looking for romance or have fallen in love, he's really relatable to a lot of us.
"I think in the musical as opposed to the film we learn a lot more about his back story.
The performer is of Māori/Samoan descent and admitted he uses his heritage to help portray the "cheeky" side of Aladdin's character.
"I have to use it!" Isaako said laughing.
You can't have an Aladdin story without his arch nemesis Jafar. Adam Murphy is looking forward to bringing the villainous character to life in front of enthusiastic Kiwi audiences.
"They're not afraid to yell out something and someone (on stage) sang a really great note the other night and I heard someone in the audience say 'not bad,'" Murphy said.
Isaako and Murphy can be seen in action in the video at the top of the story performing Diamond in the Rough from the show.

With the surrender of Japan in September 1945, four years of brutal conflict for the United States during World War II finally came to end. It was at this time that Walt Disney refocused his efforts.
The studio lot had been requisitioned by the U.S. military shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and in the following four years, Walt devoted over 90 percent of The Walt Disney Studios’ output to the war effort.
Now, as the United States came out of the war, The Walt Disney Studios was in a difficult place financially. During the war, with so much of the Studios involved in the war effort, Walt could spare few employees to work on existing feature film projects. Development of films like Alice in Wonderland (1951) and Peter Pan (1953), which had been in the works since shortly after the success of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), ground to a halt.
In light of these circumstances, as the Studios looked to return to their pre-war state of operations—outside of commercial work and a few “packaged” animation films, like Fun and Fancy Free (1947)—there was not much on the table for Walt to work with. In fact, the Studios only managed to avoid losses in 1945 and 1946 through the domestic reissues of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio (1940).
Assessing his company’s current state of affairs, Walt recognized that in order to survive he would need to branch out and expand into new types of entertainment. One option he began to consider was making a live-action film. According to animation historian Michael Barrier, Walt had been considering experimenting in live-action “since as early as March 1941” when he thought about “making a wholly live-action film, based on Felix Salten’s The Hound of Florence.”
Five years after these initial thoughts, the perfect opportunity to begin such a project presented itself. After the war, Walt and Roy learned that over a million dollars of box office revenues that had been earned in England could only be spent in England due to new postwar policies implemented to revive their economy. RKO Radio Pictures, The Walt Disney Studios’ distributor, likewise had a large sum of money tied up in England and offered to share in the production costs of a film. Walt initially thought about making cartoons in England. He soon realized, however, that training an entirely new staff of animators precluded the possibility of opening a cartoon studio on par with the one in Burbank. Instead, he set his sights on a live-action film to take advantage of the already-established film industry and infrastructure in England. Reflecting on the situation roughly a decade later in a 1956 interview with the Saturday Evening Post’s Pete Martin, Walt recalled:
“After the war we still had the frozen funds situation in Europe. So, in order to get the funds out of England, [RKO] wanted me to go to England and do something. The first thought was ‘Should I start a cartoon studio there?’ And I didn’t think I could because you have to train the artists for it or else import them […] I wanted to get into live.”
For the first of four films to be produced in England Walt decided upon a film adaptation of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic novel, Treasure Island, which follows the story of a young boy named Jim Hawkins as he searches for a hidden treasure. Not only did the film present what Walt believed would be “right for Disney to present,” but the book, whose author was a native of Scotland, also lent itself well to the array of actors England had to offer Walt and his team.
Walt sent Disney veteran Perce Pearce, who had been a writer on Fantasia (1940) and a story director on Bambi (1942), over to England to produce the film alongside fellow American Byron Haskin as director. The majority of the cast, with the exception of young American actor Bobby Driscoll who starred as Jim Hawkins, was comprised of well-known English stage and film actors.
Filming began at Bristol Harbour in Bristol, England, in July 1949. With production on Cinderella (1950) wrapping up, Walt occasionally flew to England to be involved in the film’s production. On one such trip he took his wife Lillian and daughters Diane and Sharon. Typical of his work ethic, Walt made the most of his time in England—Sharon recalled years later that, while there, he “was an all-day worker. He didn’t slow down at all.”
Walt was pleased with what he saw, and upon his return to Burbank following one of his trips, even poked a little fun at his animators. “Those actors over there in England, they’re great,” joked Walt to his animation staff, “You give ’em the lines, and they rehearse it a couple of times, and you’ve got it on film—it’s finished. You guys take six months to draw a scene.”
It was Treasure Island that brought English artist and future Disney Legend Peter Ellenshaw to the Studios. Ellenshaw—who studied matte painting under his stepfather, master matte and special effects artist W. Percy Day, O.B.E.—was contacted by the film’s Art Director Tom Morahan, who asked Ellenshaw if he was “interested in doing a ‘few’ mattes for Walt Disney.” In his autobiography, Ellenshaw recalled the impact it would have on his life:
“‘Maybe there would only be a few mattes,’ [Morahan] said, ‘Not worth your time.’ Not at all, I thought, to work for Disney even for a short while was certainly ‘worth my time.’ […] This was to change my whole life, and yet it seemed just a small job at the time.”
As production on the film progressed, the production team realized they were going to need a lot more mattes than originally intended, with Ellenshaw painting “forty or more mattes in [the] film.” Due to the large number of mattes required, Ellenshaw explained, “I had time to thoroughly understand the technique, so in the future I would be able to set up a department to do mattes in color at any studio.”
Following the success of Treasure Island, Walt returned to make additional films in England utilizing Ellenshaw’s matte work—including The Story of Robin Hood and His Merrie Men (1952), The Sword and the Rose (1953), and Rob Roy, the Highland Rogue (1954)—all starring popular British actor and future Disney Legend Richard Todd. It was during these early days that Ellenshaw developed his early impressions of Walt:
“Walt Disney would come to our small studio [in England] and spend time chatting with us about his life in films, he told many stories of his early years […] it was just like Walt to treat everyone on the same level. Later on, I was to discover that when Walt was at an important function in his honor, often he would be over in the corner of the room talking to the doorman or someone about the man’s outlook on life. Walt was the quintessential American, a firm believer in the common man.”
In the decades following Treasure Island, Ellenshaw became a key artist at The Walt Disney Studios. During his time with Disney, he worked as a matte painter and special effects artist on classics including 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), Davy Crockett, King of the Wild Frontier (1955), and most notably Mary Poppins (1964)—for which he received the Academy Award® for Best Special Visual Effects.
Upon its release, Treasure Island was a success for the Studios. It would go on to gross a box office total of $4.8 million worldwide on a $1.8 million budget. The film was particularly popular in Great Britain, where it was the sixth-most popular film at the British box office in 1950. Though production of the film used up all of the frozen funds Disney had in England following the war, the film’s success influenced Walt to return to England to produce more films. As recalled by Disney Producer, Screenwriter, and Disney Legend Bill Walsh in a 1973 interview: “[In England,] Walt discovered some of these great English actors like Peter Finch, Sean Connery, first. All made their debuts in Disney picture in little bits.” Indeed, Sean Connery, a legendary British actor, had his first leading role as Michael McBride in Walt Disney’s Darby O’Gill and the Little People (1959).
Of particular note in Treasure Island was Disney Legend Robert Newton’s performance as Long John Silver, the film’s main antagonist. Capturing the essence of what has become the quintessential film pirate, Newton’s performance was widely praised. Newton would go on to star in numerous similar roles.
It has now been over 70 years since Walt Disney’s live-action film adaptation of Treasure Island had its world premiere in London in June of 1950. Today, the film stands as a landmark feature for Walt, representing his first full-length live-action feature film. Yet, the film’s significance extends far beyond that. During the nearly two decades following the film’s release in 1950 and spanning until Walt’s untimely passing in 1966, Walt would oversee the production of over 50 live-action films, including classics such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (1954), Old Yeller (1957), The Shaggy Dog (1959), Pollyanna (1960), Swiss Family Robinson (1960), The Absent-Minded Professor (1961), and The Parent Trap (1961), not to mention Walt’s crowning achievement in the live-action and animated feature Mary Poppins (1964). In many ways, Treasure Island helped lay the foundation for these later successes. It even served as an inspiration for many of the artists working on the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction for Disneyland Park. Disney artist and Disney Legend Xavier “X” Atencio, who penned the lyrics for the classic Pirates of the Caribbean attraction theme song, “Yo Ho (A Pirate’s Life for Me),” recalled in an interview in the early 2000s how, while conducting research for the attraction, he “got the Treasure Island film out […] to get the feeling of pirate jargon.”
Looking back, it could be said that Treasure Island marked the beginning of a swashbuckling new era of adventure and expansion for Walt and his eponymous company. An era that would take them into live-action movies, television, a theme park, and more!

In this article, we'll explore the composition of pickelball,types of pickleball.
Pickleball is a sport that has been gaining popularity in recent years due to its fast-paced gameplay and social nature. One of the key elements of pickleball is the ball itself, which is designed to provide a balance of speed, durability, and responsiveness. In this article, we will explore what a pickleball is made of, the different types of pickleballs available, and other related topics.
What is pickleball consist of?
Pickleballs are made of durable plastic material, typically polyethylene or polypropylene. These materials ensure the ball is lightweight and can withstand numerous impacts during gameplay. The ball is perforated with holes, which allows it to travel through the air with reduced air resistance. This design results in a more predictable flight path, making the game accessible to players of all skill levels.
There are two main types of pickleballs – indoor and outdoor – each designed to perform optimally in their respective environments.
The Indoor balls are designed for play on smooth indoor surfaces, such as gymnasium floors. They have larger holes and are made of softer plastic. This design allows for better control and a slower, more predictable flight indoors.The weight is typically between 0.74 and 0.935 ounces, and the diameter is usually between 2.875 and 2.972 inches.
The weight of outdoor pickleball is more heavy than, between 0.81 and 0.935 ounces, and the diameter is usually between 2.874 and 2.972 inches. Outdoor pickleballs are made from heavier and harder plastic, they are designed to be more durable and resistant to wear and tear than indoor balls.This type of plastic makes the ball more dense, leading to a faster and harder hit when it comes off the paddle. They have a thicker wall,which is also designed to make them more durable, as they are exposed to more rugged outdoor conditions, such as rough surfaces, wind, and moisture. The rotational molding process used to manufacture outdoor pickleballs creates a seamless design, which helps to eliminate any weak points in the ball's structure and makes it more resistant to cracking or breaking.They have smaller holes, which help maintain a consistent flight path despite outdoor elements like wind.Most outdoor balls have 40 holes, indoor balls usually have 26 although there is no set number for indoor vs. outdoor balls.
How long will a pickleball last?
The lifespan of a pickleball can vary depending on several factors, including the quality of the ball, the playing surface, and the frequency of use. On average, a pickleball can last between 10 to 20 games before it starts to show signs of wear and tear. However, with proper care and maintenance, a pickleball can last for several months. Some pickleball players recommend rotating between a set of balls during gameplay to extend their lifespan.
Pickleball color, yellow green or orange?
The choice of color is often based on personal preference, but it can also serve a functional purpose. Bright colors like yellow and orange are more visible, making them easier for players to track during gameplay. Green balls can be useful for playing on grass or other green surfaces, as they blend in and provide an added challenge.

The trailer of Vishal Bhardwaj’s Rangoon offers snapshots of Indian cinema in the 1940s. Cracking a whip and singing profanities while wearing a hunting costume and a mischievous smile, Kangana Ranaut plays an actress who closely resembles Fearless Nadia.
Indian actresses are a mutable and paradoxical species. Even as their onscreen avatars are consistently loved, their status as sex symbols means that their morality and principles are always viewed as dubious. Rangoon, harking back to the time when filmmakers and actors were universally loved but rarely respected, is one among many Indian films that sketch compelling portraits of diverse aspects of the cinematic world.
Indian cinema has been consistently turning the lens on itself with varying degrees of insight, honesty and self-deprecation. In Guru Dutt’s Kaagaz ke Phool (1959), film director Suresh (Guru Dutt) is disdainful of actresses habituated to primping and posturing. He is looking for a “seedhi saadhi Hindustani ladik” for his next film. A chance encounter leads him to orphan Shanti (Wahhda Rehman). Unhappily married and estranged from his wife, Suresh is inexorably drawn to Shanti and they struggle against a growing mutual attraction.
Kaagaz Ke Phool is an accurate study of artistic obsession and the contrary motivations of people who pursue careers in cinema. Suresh looks at the world through a cinematic lens (he recognises Shanti’s potential only after she is accidentally captured on camera). Suresh’s self-worth is inextricably tied to his work as a director. Shanti, on the other hand, is a reluctant actress, drawn to the profession because of monetary compulsions and her fascination for Suresh.
With a haunting combination of chiaroscuro frames and lilting melodies, Kaagaz Ke Phool chronicles a director’s angst-ridden journey from fame to ignominy. Even as it depicts the massive machinery required to construct a movie and exposes the caprices of public adoration, Kaagaz Ke Phool is more about human fallibility and creative frustration than the cinematic world itself.
The Merchant-Ivory production Bombay Talkie (1970) is a more acerbic and sexually unapologetic examination of the film world. Married actor Vikram (Shashi Kapoor) is attempting to cement his status as a film star when his writer friend Hari (Zia Mohyeddin) introduces him to novelist Lucia (Jennifer Kendal). Although Hari falls in love with Lucia, Vikram pursues her with a restless determination to posses.
Bombay Talkie is replete with pithy observations about the film world. Vikram’s conversations with Hari offer a tongue-in-cheek reminder of cinema’s status as the less erudite cousin of the novel. When Vikram prances on the keys of a giant typewriter while shooting a typically asinine film song, he is dancing to the tune of his producer who wishes to make the film commercially viable. The strangeness of the set is explained away with a vacuous allegory, demonstrating Indian cinema’s endless tussle between credibility and commerce and its inability to logically and intelligently reconcile the two.
Even as it succumbs to western stereotypes about Indian society, Bombay Talkie insightfully depicts the social significance of cinema in India. Its opening sequence, for instance, features hand painted movie-style posters of cast and crew displayed against the streets and skylines of Mumbai, illustrating the deep and complex relationship of the city with cinema.
In Shyam Benegal’s Bhumika (1977), Usha (Smita Patil) is cajoled into becoming an actress by an older family friend, Keshav (Amol Palekar). Since her mother disapproves of her profession and the lower-caste Keshav, Usha marries him in an impetuous act of defiance. When she is compelled to work after her marriage and Keshav continues to manage her business, Usha rebels against his constant jealousy and authority.
Although sexual relationships between famous women and their male managers or jealous husbands have been explored in several films, Bhumika asks pertinent questions about sexual freedom and the balance of power. In attempting to escape her controlling husband, Usha enters into sexual relationships with other men, but remains dissatisfied with the skewed balance of power.
Bhumika uses the film-within-a-film device to perfection, and Usha’s personal life uncannily mirrors the story arc of her film Agnipariksha. As Usha dances and hams her way through Agnipariksha, Benegal exposes the dispassionate choreography and manipulation involved in the construction of the highly stylised imagery that dominates commercial cinema.
Mani Ratnam’s Iruvar (1997) is inspired by the political landscape of 1950s Tamil Nadu, and is loosely based on actor and politician M G Ramanchandran, his political rival M Karunanidhi, and protégé and frequent co-star Jayalalithaa. Anandan (Mohanlal) ascends to superstardom with the assistance of his writer friend Tamizhselvan (Prakash Raj). Anandan absorbs his friend’s politics along with his poetry and leverages his tremendous social capital to further his party’s political future. As Anandan’s popularity threatens to surpass Tamizhselvan’s, an acrimonious rivalry develops between the former friends.
Much like Usha in Bhumika, Anandan’s personal life imitates the characters that he plays in his movies. The meta-film sequences in Iruvar are mostly song-and-dance routines. Although they are too neatly shot to replicate 1950s cinematography, they capture the costume and dialogue integral to Tamil films of that era.
Zoya Akhtar’s Luck By Chance (2009) is a satirical but non-judgmental look at the Hindi film industry. Sona (Konkona Sensharma), a talented actor appearing second-grade films, meets Vikram (Farhan Akhtar), an aspiring actor looking to get his first break. When Sona is duped by a producer and hits a slump, Vikram bags a role in a commercial film aided by a combination of serendipity, guile and burning ambition. Vikram continues to pursue superstardom with selfish unscrupulousness, but a disillusioned Sona breaks up with him to eventually become a popular television actress.
Luck By Chance deftly peels back several layers of the cinematic world, often hilariously exposing its nepotism, occasional cruelty and precarious relationship with Hollywood. The devilry of the film world is the small details: an anecdote about an unfairly treated stuntman, a wealthy superstar clowning around with impoverished children from behind a closed car window, and a bitterly furious heroine recalling how she was forced to relinquish control over her body to become an actress.
The film is also scattered with actors like Aamir Khan and Shah Rukh Khan playing themselves. This adds a layer of authenticity to the film that is deliciously ironic, considering that their parts are as carefully constructed as that of any other character.
The opening sequence of Luck By Chance is a montage of activities involved in making a film, featuring the weathered faces over-worked film technicians and extras. Even as the sequence highlights the banality of the tasks that add up to create the dreamy and gripping illusion of cinema, it gently humanises the process, exposing its warts and embracing its allure.


Innovation has been assuming a mind boggling job in changing the manner in which mechanical procedures are performed. Regardless of whether it is a machine-to-machine correspondence or expanded reality, innovation has been helping ventures every which way to streamline and mechanize their work. Rising advances, similar to 3D printing, robots, calculations, and so on., have the ability to totally change the current assembling forms. Or then again, at the end of the day, current innovation can possibly improve our lives. A fast increment in the degree of advancement in innovation strongly affects the workforce.
“Streamline your content moderation process with Image Analyzer, an automated solution by image-analyzer.com. Detect and moderate inappropriate content efficiently, saving time and resources.”
Robots are by and large progressively used to play out a wide range of modern errands. The created pieces of the world have seen a sharp ascent in the interest for computerized machines and gear. Roughly, there are in excess of 2 million robots being used and the number is required to rise rapidly in coming years. Japan is driving the rundown of nations with the most number of robots. Late years have seen a significant reduction in the expenses of robotization and mechanical autonomy.
Added substance producing
Added substance assembling or 3D printing is a rising innovation that empowers enterprises to fabricate three-dimensional items. It is a procedure of building complex items by including ultrathin layers of materials individually. Presently, just chose things are being made out of a solitary material, for example, restorative inserts and plastic models. Contrasting 3D mechanical innovation and that of customary, added substance producing empowers enterprises to fabricate new shapes without stressing over assembling confinements.
Self-governing innovation, for example, unmanned vehicles, is extending the probability of delivering exceptionally advanced modern machines equipped for playing out the unbelievable. It has an extraordinary potential in making mechanical procedures flawlessly smooth with scarcely any human intercession. Independent robots have just been sent by various ventures worldwide to perform quality control and assessment related undertakings.
Enlarged the truth is about the increase of the components of physical world. By utilizing handheld sensors, individuals can reenact different circumstances or, at the end of the day, enlarged reality empowers us to make a figment of the real world. This innovation can assist engineers with building mind blowing mechanical arrangements. One of the commonsense uses of this innovation is the preparation of military initiates where they are tried with different virtual circumstances.
Decisively, new advances are empowering specialists to create smart machines that can play out numerous modern errands with incredible exactness and speed. Organizations need to put resources into mechanization innovation so as to keep up intensity and satisfy developing need for advancement and innovation.

This book is a literary pub crawl around two of England’s most beautiful and least spoilt shires, Dorset and Somerset, following in the steps of famous and lesser known writers.
Here are town pubs, country pubs, village pubs, riverside pubs and seaside pubs all with one thing in common; they have been immortalised by association with books or writers. Among the many characters you will meet along the way are Lorna Doone, Sam Weller, Inspector Morse, Tess of the d’Urber villes , Barry Lyndon, The Ancient Mariner, Anne Elliot and her Captain Wentworth, The French Lieutenant's Woman. The Mayor of Casterbridge and a Poet Laureate turned thriller writer.
The literary pilgrimage has long been accepted as a good excuse to travel. Now, if you need it, you also have a good excuse to pop down the pub.
Illustrated throughout in colour, this handy new hardback is the essential guide to more than fifty of the most characterful hostelries in the fair counties of Dorset and Somerset and their famous literary links. Cheers and good reading!
Retired graphic designer Terry Townsend has combined his life-long interests in English Literature and English pubs to produce this reader’s guide to those twin sources of delight and amusement. Terry lives in Dorset with his wife Carol and their cat Smudge.

This month I spent a week in Tasmania meeting with, and learning from, Tasmanian primary producers who are working to regenerate their soils and landscapes. In particular, I met with key partners in the exciting new project “Drought Resilience Tasmania – Actionable Knowledge and Solutions for Sustainable Prosperity” (known as The Hub), of which Soils for Life is a key partner and which is led by the University of Tasmania.
Professor Kathy Evans, the new director of the project, said The Hub will bring together a broad diversity of organisations and stakeholders in Tasmanian agriculture and natural resource management in a collaborative, co-designed that producers will be equal contributors to the initial program design.
On my way to meet with the team at UTAS, I travelled the length of Tasmania, to experience some of the broad range of enterprises, landscapes, soil types and rainfall which make up agricultural production, which covers approximately 28% of Tasmania’s landmass. I visited a range of producers and experiencing a broad range of locally adapted approaches to regeneration including multi species planting, re-establishing ecological function through tree and understory replanting, time-controlled grazing and biological amendments.
I started in the north, at Sam and Stefanie Tretheway’s (Tasmanian Agricultural Company) farm near Dunorlan (in the Meander Valley – a sub catchment of the Tamar). Sam and Stephanie have recently begun farming here, focusing primarily on first cross Wagyu production, and are working to bring degraded land back to ecological health and productivity. Sam showed us the work he is doing to regenerate his pastures through multi-species plantings and setting up time-controlled grazing. Sam is using a SoilKee to plant into existing pasture to enrich the species mix without leaving bare soil or cultivating.
I visited Sam’s property as part of a 2.5 day RCS (Resource Consulting Services) grazing clinic. RCS’ six principles for regenerative grazing form a solid foundation for decision making in grazing systems and the grazing charts RCS provide are an excellent tool for working out the right balance of carrying capacity to stocking rate, and calculating appropriate rest periods for pasture. The most interesting part of the workshop for me was hearing about the diverse experience and enterprises of the participants. The participants ranged from cut flower growers in the north west (who want to include grazing in their enterprise mix), through Midlands sheep farmers and croppers, to wool, lamb and beef production in the Derwent Valley.
Next stop was the Midlands property of botanist and sheep farmer Rae Young, and husband Lindsay. Rae’s daughter Colette and her family have recently joined the business. Rae is pictured here with her granddaughter as we toured around the farm looking at Rae’s work trailing native species plantings in cages as well as tree plantings and other restoration and regeneration projects and the new centre pivots.
Rae explained to me that they have newly invested in irrigation, accessing one of the many new irrigation schemes which are being rolled out in Tasmania. Rae, Lindsay and Colette are still figuring out how to adjust and manage time-controlled grazing under irrigation and how best to capitalize on such a significant investment.
As I travelled south, I heard a number of examples of investment in irrigation as a potential adaptation and insurance around increasingly variable rainfall and weather patterns, particularly in the Midlands. Despite “mainlanders’” perceptions of Tasmania as a high rainfall state, the reality is that the distribution of this rainfall is highly uneven and variable, both spatially and temporally.
I also had the pleasure of visiting novelist and farmer, Rachael Treasure at her property Ripple Farm, near Richmond. Rachael and her family are implementing a range of regenerative practices on the farm such as natural sequence farming, multi species plantings, and soil biological treatments. Watch this space as Rachael and her partner Dan are restoring their wool shed as a training and workshop centre!
Day 2 of my Tassie regenerative journey started in South Arm looking out of the appropriately named Storm Bay, where I visited Florian Bonenfant’s newly established market garden. First up on the tour, Florian proudly showed me the oldest blue gum in the South Arm area which he is carefully protecting. We then looked into Florian’s shed where I discovered that he is actually the MacGyver of regenerative agriculture! He showed me a range of homemade equipment he has built including seed tray filler, dibbler, vacuum seeder and hot beds, involving second hand household items such as crock pots, vacuum cleaners and ockey straps (not to mention repurposed pallets etc).
Florian’s philosophy of no dig and no expensive chemicals means weed management rather than weed control. The newly planted beds have a cardboard layer to inhibit weed growth, on which wood chips and mushroom mulch has been added and the seeds planted into this. Florian has plans to develop a key line system on his small farm and to add free range chickens and cattle to the mix, along with a large scale worm farm to recycle organic material from the farm to put back into the farm system.
Next stop, wildlife biologist and farmer, Fiona Hume at Arundel Farm, in the Derwent Valley. Fiona produces wool, lamb and beef and runs a herd of heritage English Leicester sheep in the beautiful rich soils of the Valley. Hops are also grown on her farm through a share farming arrangement. Fiona greeted us with a wonderful spread of fresh scones and freshly made blackberry jam. We looked at the many flourishing tree belts that Fiona has planted. She has also included a range of understory plants such as banksias, native grasses etc. Multispecies pasture plantings are also on the agenda this year. Having just completed the RCS – Resource Consulting Services Grazing Clinic, Fiona is working on developing time-controlled grazing as part of her management.
My last day in Tasmania I met up with some of the partners in the Hub, including Evie Lazarus and Dr Josie Kelman from the Derwent Catchment Project, and heard about the wonderful work they are doing in soil and landscape restoration the length of the Derwent Valley which is one of the hotspots for soil loss and decline in health.
It was wonderful to meet so many people who are passionate about regenerating soils and landscapes in Tasmania. As I mentioned at the National Press Club Soil Organic Carbon Forum, working collaboratively with producers will be the key to future success in Australia’s soil health. Meeting so many innovative producers and working with the Hub has been very inspiring, and I think there are fantastic things still to come.

I guess it’s official. He was rumored to be joining the cast of the film, but there’s our first official confirmation of it, courtesy of Variety, earlier today.
Anthony Mackie has joined the cast of the Warner Bros. period police drama ”Gangster Squad, which already includes a rather strong list of actors including Sean Penn, Ryan Gosling, Josh Brolin and Michael Pena.
Gangster Squad, which takes place in the 1940s, is based on a multi-part LA Times article by Paul Lieberman – a true story about the LAPD’s secret squad of mercenary cops assigned to hunt down infamous gangster Mickey Cohen, a member of the Jewish Mafia, who also once worked for Meyer Lansky and Bugsy Siegel, all in an effort to keep East Coast organized crime figures from moving and settling in.
Mackie will play former LAPD lieutenant Rocky Washington.
I haven’t read the LA Times piece the film will be based on, so I can’t say much about the lieutenant; and a Google search didn’t immediately return anything. But I’ll keep digging.


Well, I’ve got a shot of a Bb Bass from the band. It’s certainly different from the baritone – needs a lot more air through it for a start. It’s not just the air though – my embouchure technique, while fine for my baritone, needs to be completely changed. The mouthpiece on the Bass is H U G E and my lips have a tendency to flap around a little too much.
Other that that, it’s a lovely lovely instrument, if a little on the heavy site. Gala days will, I’m sure, prove interesting.

WTI $65.91 +45c, Brent $71.83 +40c, Diff -$5.92 -5c, NG $2.95 +4c
Another poor week for oil, WTI slipped by 2.6% and Brent by 1.4% as markets got the jitters about tariff wars, China demand, the strong dollar and some indifferent inventory numbers. The rig count was unchanged overall at 1057 units and also in oil which was 869 units. This morning Brent is up 32 cents with WTI up a meagre 4c.
PMO has announced this morning that the Tolmount gas development has been sanctioned which is excellent news for shareholders as it brings ‘ around 500 bcf of gas and peak production of up to 300 mmscfd’ to the company. The development will have a minimal facilities platform and gas will be taken ashore via a new gas pipeline to the Easington terminal in an innovative infrastructure setup. Premier will therefore only pay a tariff for transportation and processing of the gas and first gas is expected in Q4 2020.
Tolmount is similar in size to the highly successful Catcher development and with the innovative infrastructure JV minimising capex, whilst keeping exposure to the upside, makes the development economics very attractive to the company. With Catcher firmly underway, Tolmount now in progress and Sea Lion moving to a potential 4Q FID PMO is astutely replacing declining mature production whilst replacing it with short, medium and long term barrels. Whilst acknowledging the debt, the company should be starting to increase payments early next year thus making Premier a favoured bucket list stock even after recent out-performance.
Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas- Surrounded by Exxon, again
I thought it highly interesting to see that Exxon had farmed into the Azinam acreage offshore Namibia in the Walvis Bay so I took the opportunity to chat to Eco (Atlantic) CEO Gil Holzman about its relevance to them. Exxon has farmed into acreage which is adjacent to all four Eco blocks in the Walvis Basin and is clearly building a significant position in this up and coming post code. With Tullow drilling next month and Chariot after that, there should be a light shining on the area as we head into the autumn.
In Guyana, Eco are waiting for the imminent arrival of the final assessments from PGS and CGG before completing its CPR which should show interesting a number of new prospects. Once that is completed the company will wait to see if Total exercise their option which as I have said many times I am convinced that they will do so. Accordingly I imagine that is purely a matter of time before Eco move significantly higher as its portfolio is being de-risked on a regular basis.
Falcon Oil & Gas
Following their announcement last week I took the opportunity to have a chat with Philip O’Quigley, CEO about the company’s forward programme in the Beetaloo Basin following the renegotiation of the farm-in deal with Origin. The new deal is equally advantageous to both companies as it moves swiftly to phase two of the drilling programme with $15m added to the cap on costs.
The second phase of the 2019 drilling campaign is aimed at both the Kyalla shale and hybrid liquids rich gas play and the Velkerri shale liquids rich gas play where horizontal drilling should be able to identify the preferred target for the 2020 programme. At this stage, carried by another $48m, there would be a two well programme aimed at the best of the now assessed of the three targets and these would be longer (3,000m) horizontals with multi-stage fraccing processes. The advantage of the Kyalla is that it is much shallower and may be a stacked play above the Velkerri and give greater opportunities.
Falcon has, with the ending of phase 1 at this stage, saved many months of time by instead of re-drilling the original Velkerri taking a look at the other prospects. This means that the company, carried for 2019 and 2020 is likely to have a highly prospective significant resource in a country that is, ironically short of domestic gas. Although this is a long term play I was surprised that the shares havent improved markedly since the moratorium was lifted although I do understand that the market is rarely able to take a longer term view. For those looking to lock away shares Falcon offer a potentially massive upside, possible a ‘ten bagger’ although I know that most will try and fine tune their timing of entry.
Last week I met with Graham Lyon, Chairman and John Wood, CEO of Infrastrata the UK listed stock which is dedicated to developing the Islandmagee Gas Storage Project of multiple salt caverns. Investors will have noticed that Adrian Pocock, until recently CEO, was responsible for the change of management and fundamental change in the company’s fortunes is staying on the board as Business Development Director. The company fights well above its weight at board level with its CFO Andy Duncan and non-execs Matthew Beardmore and Arun Raman on board.
The project has been granted the status of Project of Common Interest by the EU which opens up grant funding, accelerated permitting procedures and ‘inventivised regulatory conditions’. The importance of the project to both the UK including Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland has led to support from both countries and awarded the UK guarantee scheme status, giving access to Government Guarantees on debt finance for 65% of the project cost.
All these things are of significant importance as whilst the technical nature of completing the caverns and making the project work it is the financing that will make or break the company. The first piece of the jigsaw is to get an arrangement with a leading trader who can ensure that the gas is traded with both it and the company getting a fair part of the action. This would also likely secure the completion of the first two of the caverns giving scope for the company to develop several more at a later date.
I say piece of the jigsaw as the funding process for Infrastrata will have to be creative whilst getting all funding partners into place conditional on each other. A partial farm-out to, say a pension fund, with long term requirements for income offset against liabilities would lead to the company keeping some of the project leaving it able to develop other similar challenges in the space. This would avoid dilution at PLC level which pension fund investors would find preferable.
The good thing is that along with a top quality management team in place a good deal of the FEED milestones have already been met and with a team of industry leading teams as partners work is already well under way. I like the look of the project economics and as readers will know have been exasperated in recent years as gas storage has been ignored in the UK as it is not only of national importance but also incredibly profitable. Just consider how much Islandmagee would have made just this last February when gas prices soared and the UK imported expensive LNG from Qatar and other sources. I look forward to watching Infrastrata over the next few months and think that investors should keep it on the radar screen.
The cricket is very strange at the moment. After two low scoring games where England dominated matters this test is effectively all over before England bat again. Yesterday afternoon England lost all 10 wickets in one session with the pitch being made to be a snake pit whereas ten minutes later the Indian batsmen appeared against a high quality attack and made it all look remarkably easy. As I write India are 220-2!
The football season has started almost where it left off, the Noisy Neighbours are coasting with a sixer yesterday against the Terriers, Spurs winning and nowhere near White Hart Lane yet, Chelski eventually seeing off the Gooners and the Red Devils being tortured by Mourhino who is bringing the club into disrepute and like last season losing games they shouldn’t lose. Assume that the HubCap Stealers beat the Eagles tonight and order at the top will be restore, almost…

Promise No More Pity Parties
Pity parties are really a drag.
They drag down the one having the party and anyone else that inadvertently gets roped into attending. You’ll notice those people exit just as quickly as they can.
To tell you the bare, naked truth, feeling sorry for yourself is a big, fat excuse.
Whatever thought brings on the self-pity, feeling sorry for yourself is like living a lie every day. I know your excuses sound good to you. You may even convince yourself they are true. But, I assure you they are not. You must learn that you don’t have to believe every thought that pops into your mind.
Everyone has a bad day now and then.
If you accept that fact, then there’s no need to blame the world when things don’t go smoothly. It doesn’t mean you have become worthless or that you can’t do such and such or that you can’t do anything right. It simply means you hit a little snag or a bump in the road and you can learn something about yourself when you look for the lesson instead of looking for someone to blame.
I speak from experience. I was so deeply committed to my continuous pity party behavior that the only direction left for me to go was up from the depths. It makes me a little nuts when I hear all the reasons why people believe they can’t do something. It drives me nuts because I’ve used them all. Self-pity is merely another form of fear. It prevents those in its grip from really living.
I share with you the immortal words of Marie Curie: “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.”
When we fear less, we live more.
So, make a promise to yourself right now to stop the pity partying and start living by cherishing and embracing the beauty in every moment, even the ones that don’t look the way we think they should! I’ve done it and believe me, it’s an exciting way to live.

Its “Freedom Day” in the UK, but it feels same as, same as. Bond markets look stressed, but freak weather is raising the probability government intervention dwarfing the scale of the pandemic may become necessary. There will not be a gradual, ordered progression to a new higher temperature climate. Instead… the reality looks like high-cost chaotic freak-weather events becoming increasingly common. The cost could hit trillions.

You might have read the post on Transaction Signing for ALL by Fareez, which gave a great overview of why Transaction Signing is important and its benefits. In this blog, we explore the technical aspects of Transaction Signing and how it leads to Final Signing and, finally to Deep Archive.
In digital banking, for example, transactions are typically initiated through a digital platform, such as a mobile banking app or a website. When a user initiates a transaction, they are required to provide their account information, the amount they wish to transfer, and any other relevant details.
Before the transaction is processed, users must authenticate themselves through a security mechanism such as a password, fingerprint, or facial recognition. Once the user is authenticated, the transaction request is sent to the bank’s servers for processing.
At this point, the transaction is verified and validated by the bank’s systems to ensure that there are sufficient funds in the user’s account and that the transaction details are correct. If the transaction is approved, the user must then sign the transaction.
For higher-risk transactions, the bank might have multiple levels of approvals before the transaction is successful. During the approval process, the different approving officer can also use their digital signing credentials to approve the transaction. The digital signature serves as mathematical proof that the transaction is approved by the authorized officer and that the information of the transaction is authentic.
As the transaction flows, the next approving officer, the banking system, will verify all digital signature that is applied to the transaction. This ensures that only authentic transactions are being processed. Any transactions that fail verification can be flagged by the banking system for investigation.
Upon completion of the approval processes, the banking system can make its final verification of all digital signatures. Since digital signature also contains the identity of the signers, the banking system can ensure that the transaction has gotten all the required approval. After all verification and validation are completed, the user will be notified that their transaction is approved.
After this transaction is completed, final signing will be applied to the transaction before it is archived. Final signing is the last step in the transaction signing process, where the bank system applies a final digital signature with all required information to ensure that all the transaction information is digitally signed by a bank system signing key.
Hardware Security Modules (HSMs) are specialized devices that are designed to store and manage cryptographic keys and perform cryptographic operations securely. HSMs are used to provide a secure environment for transaction signing, key management, and other security-related functions in digital banking and other industries that require high levels of security.
In digital banking, HSMs are used to store and manage the private keys used for transaction signing. These devices are designed with multiple layers of physical and logical security measures, such as tamper-resistant coatings, secure boot processes, and authentication mechanisms, to ensure the keys’ confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
HSMs provide a secure environment for transaction signing by isolating the private keys from the rest of the system and performing the signing operations in a secure environment. This helps to prevent unauthorized access to the keys and ensures that the signing process is secure and tamper-resistant.
Final signing could also be applied before archiving simple transactions. When a user initiates a transaction in digital banking, the transaction request is sent to the bank’s servers for processing. The bank’s systems then generate a transaction message that includes the transaction details. The message is sent to the HSM for final signing, where the user is required to provide their final authorization before the transaction is completed.
The HSM securely stores the private key used for the transaction signing and performs the final signing operation in a secure environment. The signed transaction message is then sent back to the bank’s servers for processing, and the transaction is completed.
Once the final signed transaction is generated using the HSM, it is often stored in a deep archive as it provides long-term data retention for important records. In a banking context, final signed documents may include financial transactions, loan agreements, account opening documents, and other important records that need to be stored securely for compliance and regulatory purposes.
Other than deep archive for banking, deep archive using solutions like AWS (Amazon Web Services) involves storing data in the cloud on Amazon’s storage service, which is designed to provide highly durable, secure, and cost-effective storage for long-term retention of data.
One of the key advantages of using AWS for deep archive is that it provides a highly scalable and cost-effective solution for storing large amounts of data. This can be particularly beneficial for financial institutions that need to store large volumes of records for compliance and regulatory purposes, as it can help to reduce the cost of storage while ensuring that the records are stored securely and are easily accessible when needed.
Another advantage of using AWS for deep archive is that it provides a high level of flexibility and control over how the data is stored and accessed. For example, data can be stored in multiple regions for redundancy, and data retrieval can be configured based on specific requirements, such as data retrieval time or frequency.
The above demonstrates how deep archive can be applied to a bank, and how digital signatures can be adopted to secure the transactions before deep archive. Deep archive can also be achieved using Cloud technology for cost-effectiveness and scalability.

Those dreaming of taking a stroll along a rejuvenated C&O Canal in the Georgetown area of D.C. are in for a treat: The National Park Service has approved a plan to revitalize the canal and some surrounding areas.
The Georgetown Canal Plan has been a long time in the making, according to National Park Service spokeswoman Katie Liming.
It comes from the combined efforts of the Park Service and the Georgetown community who would like to see the one-mile stretch of the canal restored to its former glory.
“There’s a lot of work to be done, but it is exciting and we were able to reach this point through our partnership with Georgetown Heritage and with stakeholders in the area,” Liming said.
Georgetown Heritage is a nonprofit organization that partners with the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal National Historical Park in an effort to rebuild the one-mile section of the C&O Canal that runs through Georgetown.
Liming said the ultimate goal is to make the canal accessible and engaging for visitors and bring back some historical touches to the area.
“We are working with Georgetown Heritage to bring back the canal boat to the C&O Canal,” Liming said. “There will also be opportunities to participate in different educational programs.”
Other goals of the project include: towpath stabilization, improved access to the canal, increased educational opportunities and more welcoming, usable space.
“Implementation is anticipated to be multi-phased as funding becomes available,” The National Park Service said in a news release.
Liming said that visitors can expect to begin seeing improvements to the C&O Canal as soon as next year, but not all changes will take place at once.
“You will start seeing some changes in the next couple years, but the major projects will still take a few years to complete,” she said.

Most of the awards ceremonies recognize lesser-known regional films such as Punjabi, Assamese, and Oriya films. The Second and Fourth National Film Awards programs (for 1954 and 1956 films) feature lists of all "Feature Films Approved for Public Exhibition" for that year and include the small regional industries! This is a great research and film/dance-discovery tool because it's difficult to find lists of all Assamese, Oriya, etc., films from those years online.
The programs also reflect the social and cultural mileu through the years. The First National Film Awards program opens with a quote from the Natyashatra about dramatic performance and then illustrates the "Film in India" section header with an adorable Manipuri dance sketch. The Second National Film Awards program includes in its Feature Films list a still of Sai-Subbulakshmi in Bharatanatyam costume in the song "Neeli Magan" from Malaikkalan. All of these inclusions make sense in the light of the time period (1950s) and the renewed interest in Indian dance and ancient culture. Indian arts/culture make an artistic appearance again in the covers of some of the 1970s programs, but after that there is little dance, art, or cultural iconography in programs from that point forward. Telling, perhaps?
A few more fun images from the programs:
|1959 Kathakali Documentary|
|L Vijayalakshmi in Sathya Harischandra (1965)|
|Padmini and Sivaji Ganesan in Deivaparavi (1960)|
|Padmini and Sivaji Ganesan, 1968|
|Kamal Hassan, Saagara Sangamam (1983)|
I'll end with my favorite find of the archives: a beautiful photo of Jayalakshmi Eswar's dance in Hamsageethe (Kannada, 1975):


Bruce Springsteen has made light of having his Hyde Park concert with Paul McCartney cut off.
A controversy erupted this weekend when Springsteen's Hard Rock Calling show was abruptly halted to comply with a local curfew just as he was joined by McCartney for 'Twist and Shout'.
The gig's organizer Live Nation later said it had pulled the plug on the concert "in the interest of the public's health and safety". The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) later responded that Live Nation's excuse was not an accurate explanation for ending the gig.
Springsteen apparently made light of the matter during a gig in Dublin, Ireland by holding up a sign that read 'Only the Boss says when to pull the plug', reports BBC News.
The 'Born To Run' singer also opened the show with 'Twist and Shout' and joked: "Before we were so rudely interrupted..."
"We're not sure when the curfew is tonight. Do you really have curfews in Ireland?" Springsteen went on to quip.
'I Fought the Law' was also added to Springsteen's Dublin set, which included favorites like 'Prove It All Night', 'The River' and 'Born in the USA' as well.
Springsteen and the E Street Band will next perform in Oslo, Norway on Saturday (July 21).

See you at the convention!


The information-technology officials testifying at a House Oversight and Government Reform hearing Wednesday were reserved in their confidence that the Obamacare federal exchange website would in fact be repaired by the end of November.
“The goal that has been laid out is for the site not to be perfect, but for the vast majority to be able to use it,” White House Chief Technology Officer Todd Park said at the hearing. “It’s a goal we’re gunning for, and we’re working very hard get there.”
The administration had set the end of November as the goal to have HealthCare.gov running smoothly for the vast majority of users. Repairs are being made around the clock, but confidence may be dwindling for how fully functional the site will be.
An official told The Washington Post that persistent problems mean that the site is unlikely to be fully functional by Nov. 30, though the White House maintains the goal is still achievable.
Time is running short for both consumers and insurers to figure out their coverage options. The deadline to enroll for coverage that is effective Jan. 1 is Dec. 15.
Cancellation letters from insurance companies are adding extra strain to the situation. If individuals whose plans are canceled are not able to enroll in new coverage by mid-December, they will be uninsured until they are able to sign up.
Amid the growing pressure, even Democratic lawmakers are increasingly supporting legislation that would continue canceled policies at least another year.
At the House hearing, Reps. James Lankford, R-Okla., and Michelle Lujan Grisham, D-N.M., addressed the coverage gap that could occur if the website is not fixed soon.
“We’ve been fighting a long time in New Mexico to find ways to access affordable health care. I need, we need, our constituents need the website to work,” said Grisham, who noted that nearly 25 percent of people in her state are uninsured. “The end of November leaves very little room for error. I know it’s not easy, but I want to make sure for the record that there’s real urgency here.”
Asked whether he felt that same urgency, Park answered, “Absolutely.”
Yet when asked repeatedly by members of the committee whether he could be certain the site would be functioning by Nov. 30, Park avoided making any promises. “The team is working really hard to hit that goal, and that’s what I’m able to say right now,” he said.
“As a former Web developer that’s what I was telling clients when we were going to miss a deadline,” remarked Rep. Blake Farenthold, R-Texas.

"Federal prosecutors have charged a former software engineer at the center of a huge C.I.A. breach with stealing classified information, theft of government property and lying to the F.B.I. The engineer, Joshua A. Schulte, 29, of New York, had been the main suspect in one of the worst losses of classified documents in the spy agency’s history. Government investigators suspect that he provided WikiLeaks, the anti-secrecy organization, with a stolen archive of documents detailing the C.I.A.’s hacking operations, but they had not initially charged him in that crime."
"The Senate voted Monday to reimpose the U.S. ban on Chinese telecom giant ZTE, in a rebuke to President Donald Trump and his efforts to keep the company in business. The provision targeting ZTE was part of the National Defense Authorization Act, a must-pass defense spending bill that cleared the Senate by a vote of 85-10. It must now be reconciled with the House version of the measure, which takes a narrower approach to ZTE." Separately, Trump is directing U.S Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer to identify $200 billion more in tariffs on Chinese products.
"Two longtime associates of President Donald Trump are now acknowledging a previously undisclosed contact in May 2016 with a Russian who they say offered dirt on Hillary Clinton. Roger Stone and Michael Caputo say they forgot to tell investigators about their contact with a Russian national who goes by the name Henry Greenberg — even though they say Greenberg offered to sell incriminating information to the Trump campaign for $2 million."
"As Trump signed a joint statement with Kim Jong Un that offered few details on how the North Korean leader would make good on his vow to denuclearize, Republicans on Capitol Hill said Tuesday that they want and expect the White House to submit any final agreement for their approval." Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called for any agreement to be in the form of a treaty.
President Trump announced that the United States will suspend "war games" with South Korea, which are "inappropriate" given his meeting with North Korean leader Kim-Jong Un. "We will be stopping the war games which will save us a tremendous amount of money," said Trump, "unless and until we see the future negotiation is not going along like it should." The military exercises "carried out each year by the US and South Korean militaries have been consistently cited by Pyongyang as a US rehearsal for war, and a reason it needs to build a nuclear arsenal."
