Tax proposals are not the most attractive issues on a ballot. However, we have to understand what the tax proposal is for and who it affects. California’s public school system is facing a tough time for funding. California Proposition 30 is a temporary tax measure that asks consumers and the state's high-income earners to help ensure the education of fellow Californians.
Along with a 0.25% state sales tax increase for four years, Proposition 30 will have the following effects on income taxes for seven years:Credit: sos.ca.gov
The Bay Area Council, a business-supported public policy advocacy organization, endorses Proposition 30. The California-based group, supported by over 200 of the largest employers in its region, understands the consequences of further cuts to education. "The alternative is not acceptable," said Jim Wunderman, President and CEO of Bay Area Council. He also explained the group's position on the issue:
Increased taxes are very difficult for a business group to support, but our member CEOs, who will bear the burden of much of these taxes, want to do what they think is right for California. I believe our members are to be commended for the exhaustive and deliberative process they followed in taking this position, the subject of numerous meetings and discussions, plus extensive research and analysis.
The Bay Area Council is showing that some of California's high-income earners are willing to make necessary sacrifices for public education.
Implications of Proposition 30Credit: sos.ca.gov
We constantly hear that there will be a $5.85 billion trigger cut to education if Proposition 30 does not pass. This is real and voters have to understand what another cut in education looks like.
K-12 public schools in California have already experienced $20 billion of cuts in the past four years. The state let go of 30,000 teachers in the process, which was the most in the United States during that time-frame.
The official California voter guide says that, "Schools and community colleges could respond to this cut in various ways. Drawing down reserves, shortening the instructional year for schools, and reducing enrollment for community colleges." Since the 2008-2009 academic year, community colleges have already experienced a 17% drop in enrollment. In an economy where jobs require an educated workforce, it is not a sound decision to further limit enrollment.
The California State University and University of California system is also facing the heat. ABC Los Angeles states:
If Proposition 30 passes, CSU and UC campuses will receive $125 million from the state, and CSU trustees will consider rescinding a 9-percent tuition increase. A tuition freeze is pending the outcome of the November election.
The CSU system is holding off on admission decisions until after the election. The CSU trustees are going to either pass a 5% tuition increase or limit the number applicants admitted if Proposition 30 fails.
What School Districts Say
President of the Pleasant Valley School Board, Bob Rust, weighed in on the tax measure and the state of education:
State funding that used to be more than $6,000 per elementary student is now about $4,800 and will drop another 10 percent without passage of Proposition 30. We're 47th among the 50 states now in per student funding; defeat of Proposition 30 will take us to 50th in the nation
Despite the constant shrink in education funding, the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) is on a four year streak of overall improved academic performance. Current SDUSD Board President Dr. John Lee Evans gave the statistics in his State of the District speech:
Since 2008 we have 27% more students proficient in English language arts and we are #1 in the state for large urban districts. We have 24% more students proficient in math than 4 years ago. We have 53% more students proficient in science than we had 5 years ago.
The success in San Diego Unified during constant cuts is a testament to the community-based reforms that the district has been implementing. The board instated a plan, Vision 2020, to take learning beyond the basics and make teaching more effective. The district already made concessions to keep 1,500 teachers in classrooms to keep a consistent academic environment for its students. SDUSD Board Trustee Richard Barrera stated the following at a Proposition 30 debate:
Our student achievement rates in San Diego and in the state are the highest they’ve ever been. They’ve been growing faster over the past several years than they ever have before. Students have been producing and achieving while we have been pulling the rug from underneath them with budget cuts. We can stabilize the situation and have the ability to not go through every year with layoff notices. If we can just focus on doing our job then you will see greater and greater results. We’re asking everyone in California to contribute and be part of the solution, instead of putting the burden on teachers and parents.
The San Diego Unified School District earned an Academic Performance Index (API) score of 808 for the 2011-2012 school year. The district improved by 10 points and exceeded the state-wide goal of 800 API. SDUSD leaders acknowledge that there is still work to be done. Another year of under-funding would not be just a short-term hurdle; it would strike a blow to the long-term success they've been building towards.
Making Sure Education Receives Revenues
Opponents make the argument that the revenue generated from Proposition 30 is not guaranteed for education. To counter that claim, the measure provides taxpayer safeguards by creating a state account called the Education Protection Account. "Of the funds in the account, 89 percent would be provided to schools and 11 percent to community colleges," and the measure outlines additional safeguards:
- Revenue is guaranteed in the constitution to go into a special account for schools that the legislature can’t touch.
- Money will be audited every year and can’t be spent on administration or Sacramento bureaucracy.
- Proposition 30 authorizes criminal prosecution for misuse of money.
It may be tough to support Proposition 30 without giving a 'woe is me' impression. However, students should not be on the receiving end of consequences from a shrinking budget. Opponents call for reforming California's budgetary system, but no reforms are in place to balance the detrimental effects if Proposition 30 fails. An indefinite burden would be placed on California's public school system that we can avoid with a temporary tax measure. California's wealthiest do not face the dire financial situation that California's public education faces.

The "Chess for Mental Health" international event, a joint effort of FIDE and French Chess Federation (Fédération Française des Échecs or FFE) with the support of Imagine Institute, Teladoc Health and AESIO Mutuelle, was held on March 9 2022, in Paris.
"Among its many assets, the game of chess brings many benefits in the service of mental health. Achievements and projects are multiplying at the international level. The French Chess Federation is proud to host this international conference organized by our Health Social Disability Commission and our International Commission," Eloi Relange, the President of FFE, said.
"We have set up Health Social Disability Commission of FFE to pilot a set of programs dedicated to issues related to health, well-being and social inclusion through the game of chess. The Infinite Chess Program is the first of a set of measures focused on research and mental health in order to make chess a new tool at the service of health professionals and citizens," Franck Droin, President of the Health Social Disability Commission of the FFE, added.
The list of other key participants of the conference included Ministry of Health and Solidarity Franck Belivier, FIDE Managing Director Dana Reizniece-Ozola, Prime Minister Services Interministerial Delegate Autism and neurodevelopmental disorders Claire Compagnon, World Health Organization Director, Mental Health and Substance Use, WHO Devora Kestel, President of the Psychiatric French Society and President of CNQSP FFE, "Health Social Handicap" Maurice Bensoussan and others.
"Professional sport is not the only mission of FIDE. Chess and sports, in general, have to be used for other goals as well to make society stronger. Chess is an excellent tool for doing that, and we are trying to use these opportunities. Especially lately, we have developed various social initiatives where chess is used not for the sake of teaching the game itself but for the sake of social cohesion, increasing mental skills, girls empowerment and other things. Last year we also adapted our social responsibility guidelines, which goes very well with those principles that have been already encoded in our charter and policies," FIDE Managing Director Dana Reizniece-Ozola noted.
Introducing chess to children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder is one of the key social initiatives of FIDE. The INFINITE CHESS Project aims to enhance knowledge and awareness about chess for children with ASD, give practical advice for teachers and parents, study the benefits of introducing chess and develop teaching methods.
In the second part of the conference, Anastasia Sorokina, FIDE Vice President and leader of the INFINITE CHESS project, opened the discussion on chess for children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder, which was followed by presentations made by specialists from different countries, who shared their practical experiences in teaching chess to children with ASD.
Speakers, including Natalia Popova, curricula author, leader of the two-year-long project teaching chess to children with ASD, Ala Mishchanka, Special needs educational assistant with more than 15 years of experience, Luis Blasco De La Cruz of FIDE's Commission for Chess in Education, María Rodrigo Yanguas, WFM and a sports psychologist, Erick Takawira, Director of the KZN Chess Academy, and Kanthi Devi Sarjoo, speech/language pathologist/audiologist from the Browns' School, Emmanuel Nieman, Chess Trainer, Eric Desailly of Foundation Ellen Poidatz, François Lescure, President of Teladoc Health France, and Sophie Krief, CEO of AESIO Mutuelle, covered various topics related to mental health, including autism, DYS, concentration, hyperactivity. The results of their studies showed that chess could improve multiple aspects of mental health.
According to the speakers, many recent studies have already highlighted the benefits of playing chess to support the development of children with autism spectrum disorders, the DYS (dyslexia, dyspraxia, dyscalculia) or attention and hyperactivity disorders. But these results must be confirmed by new studies, more extensive and more followed over time.
"Observational data compiled indicated that chess is a viable medium to improve children's social skills with an autistic spectrum disorder. The use of role-playing in the chess lessons elicited emotive language and developed their creativity and imagination," Kanthi Devi Sarjoo, Browns' School Speech-Language Pathologist/Audiologist (South Africa) said.
Finally, Aurélie Renard-Vignelles, Edith Jebob Duvernet, Maxence Augier, and Dr Maurice Bensoussan discussed troubles of DYS, concentration, and hyperactivity.

Newswise — New data has found that natural habitats occupying an area larger than Greece have been created to offset economic developments. This data could eventually provide a basis to help improve our understanding of the benefits of protecting and preserving wildlife. Called 'biodiversity offsets', man-made conservation areas are created to compensate for economic developments and are a growing trend.
They include major industrial projects like the Oyu Tolgoi copper mine in Mongolia and the Bujagali hydropower project in Uganda and at the other end of the scale, grassland restoration offsets only one hectare in size to compensate for housing developments in the UK. Until now, no one has had enough information to assess whether they work on an international scale.
Dr Joseph W. Bull, a conservation scientist at University of Kent worked with Dr Niels Strange from the University of Copenhagen to collate data on over ten thousand examples of nature sites created specifically to compensate for industrial impacts. The researchers found that across the world businesses are offsetting their development at a 'rapid rate' - from international corporations to smallscale landowners. The researchers also found there were more offsets than they expected - 12,983 projects across 74 countries.
Dr Bull said: 'This is the start of something major. Biodiversity offsets are being implemented very quickly despite being quite a recent policy idea. More than 153,000 square kilometres is a big chunk of land and - for the first time - we now have a dataset that can and will be used by two hundred countries across the world to refine "no net loss" policies, seeking to protect our natural environment.'
'No Net loss' policies are the point at which the project-related impacts on biodiversity are balanced by measures taken to avoid and minimize their impacts.
Such a global dataset is the prerequisite for assessing how well offsets compensate for biodiversity impacts associated with economic development, adds Dr Strange.
The data also showed that emerging economies (particularly in South America) were more dominant in terms of global offsetting and most projects are very small. However, the researchers also note that the overwhelming majority (99.7%) of projects are implemented by law rather than on a voluntary basis.
The data is being made available to the Global Inventory on Biodiversity Offset Policies (GIBOP), currently being officially promoted at the thirteenth meeting of the international Convention on Biological Diversity, to be attended by up to 196 member countries in Egypt from the 17th-29th November 2018.
The global extent of biodiversity offset implementation under no net loss policies, by Joseph W. Bull and Niels Strange, is published in Nature Sustainability.
The Durrell Institute of Conservation and Ecology DICE is based in the School of Anthropology and Conservation (SAC), University of Kent, Canterbury, UK and worked in collaboration with the Department of Food and Resource Economics and Center for Macroecology, Evolution and Climate, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Sushant Singh Rajput and Rhea Chakraborty might not have made their relationship official, but the rumoured lovebirds are definitely busy painting the town red. After taking a romantic trip to Ladakh together, Sushant hosted a surprise party for Rhea on her birthday. And now reports suggest that the Kedarnath actor bought a special gift for Rhea recently.
According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, Sushant has gifted his ladylove a platinum pendant that Rhea is seen wearing these days.
The news has come a few days after Sushant organised a birthday bash for Rhea on her special day. The Jalebi actress took to Instagram to give a sneak-peek into her birthday celebrations.
Apart from sharing a video from cake-cutting ceremony, she posted a photo with Sushant and other friends calling it "Happiest Birthday."
It was in May that Sushant and Rhea's link-up rumours started doing the rounds. According to an entertainment portal, Sushant has been dating Rhea Chakraborty for a while now.
A source told the portal, "Sushant is currently seeing Rhea Chakraborty. They have known each other for a while and they hit it off really well in the last few weeks. In fact, things moved from one thing to the other quite quickly and now, they are already dating each other."
Speaking about the romance, the insider added that Rhea and Sushant have been spending a lot of quality time nowadays. "They are still calling each other 'good friends' but reality is that they are already seeing each other. When Sushant is not in town, he is chilling at his Lonavala house, Rhea also accompanies him sometimes. They are keeping their relationship hush-hush for now before taking it to the next level," said the source.
On the work front, Sushant Singh Rajput is awaiting the release of Chhichhore. Rhea, on the other hand, will be next seen in Chehre.

In this article, we bring you a curated list of 20 lifestyle journalists who are masters at bringing stories to life.

Join us as we explore the work of these 20 lifestyle journalists who have the power to bring your stories to life and make your brand stand out in today’s saturated media landscape.
The field of lifestyle journalism is generally characterized by a lack of clear distinctions, both between subfields and between soft and hard news. For example, hard news genres have been adapted to soft news. Likewise, topics like health can be presented as “soft news” in one context (e.g. “how to improve your health”) but as “hard news” in another (e.g. “smoking causes economic expenses”). Constructive journalism, a relatively new field, is an example of how lifestyle and service journalism approaches have migrated to more traditional hard news fields.
Every PR professional knows how important it is to connect with the best media contacts. This is especially crucial if you want to secure media coverage. Building a media list is essential – this is especially true if you are looking to contact the best lifestyle journalists. Even so, building a media list can be very time-consuming and can result in you missing out on key reporters.
At Pressfarm, we understand the process of collecting relevant media contacts can be frustrating. This is exactly why we have created a media database with over 1 million media contacts. With this media database, you can be sure that you will maximize the reach of your story and secure maximum coverage. Our Account Executive can also provide a personalized media list of the most relevant lifestyle journalists in your niche with any of our PR packages.

Lifestyle journalism has experienced enormous growth in the media over the past few decades, causing scholars in other fields of journalism and communication studies to pay more attention to this sector. In the past, it was sometimes seen as a lesser kind of journalism because it goes against the “traditional” scholarly content, nevertheless, with a more urgent need for in-depth exploration and contextualization of the field, lifestyle journalism has now earned a lot of respect. In fact, thanks to an increase in relevance for 21st-century consumer culture, lifestyle journalism has come to the forefront as an important sector of the journalism industry.

For the second time within a week, a Johnston County school has been broken into.
Between Friday and Saturday afternoon, someone broke into the maintenance shed and concession stand at Corinth Holders High School on Applewhite Road. A John Deere Gator all terrain vehicle, valued at $11,000, was reported stolen from the shed.
Johnston County deputies reported that 5 exterior doors and three interior doors were forced one at various buildings on the campus. The incident was reported to authorities on Sunday.
Last week, a break-in was reported at the Johnston County Schools Middle College, located on the campus of Johnston Community College in Smithfield. About $3,600 in property was taken including computers, cameras, sporting equipment, and a garbage can.
No arrests have been made in either incident.

The Georgia Ports Authority says U.S. House approval of nearly $15 million for work at the Port of Savannah marks an important step in expanding the site’s cargo handling capacity.
The funding approved this month includes $13.5 million for maintenance dredging at the Savannah Harbor and $1.4 million toward the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project the GPA says is central to the growth plans in coming years.
“This funding can be used to prepare the final construction plans and specifications for the channel deepening after the required environmental and cost-benefit studies are approved,” said GPA Chief Operating Officer Curtis J. Foltz, who is due to become the GPA’s next executive director Jan. 1.
The funding is included in a U.S. Senate and House conference report on the Energy and Water Appropriations Bill that still must get final approval in the Senate.
Doug J. Marchand, who is stepping down as GPA executive director, called the expansion project “one of the most important and pro-active civil works projects in the country.”

Families have spoken of exploding irons and burnt hands after it emerged that thousands of the kitchen appliances were being recalled over safety fears.
Russell Hobbs urged customers to return 15 different types of steam iron after people after a report on BBC's Watchdog last night revealed that people had been injured by the faulty appliances.
Among those who spoke to the programme were Jonathan and Suzanne Wells.
Mr Wells received burns to his hand while ironing and his wife said: "I was just sat on the floor and out of the corner of my eye there was a big popping sounds and the flame and smoke."
"I realised from the pain in my hand that came straight after it the iron had caught fire and burnt my hand," Mr Wells added.
"The pain was getting so bad I had to go and hold it under the cold tap for about an hour."
Viewer Carrie Givens was another who was ironing with her Russell Hobbs steam glide when it suddenly flashed, made a bang and showered her in sparks causing a nasty burn on her wrist.
And a third viewer told how her Steamglide 18651 burst into flames in march.
"There was this massive loud bang," she said.
"Flames shot out of the lead of the iron and caught my top, burnt my wrist. I was just in shock to be honest."
Others who say they have been burnt by faulty irons took to Russell Hobbs' Facebook after Watchdog aired.
One customer, Susan Randall, wrote: "I contacted them (Russell Hobbs) in July this year about my iron which blew up in my hand and burnt it.
"They requested the model plate and a covering letter and said they would replace it free of charge if the guarantee was still valid.
"They sent me a new iron.
"I can't believe they never checked for a safety issue.
And Felicity Lee said: "Shocked seeing this on watchdog as this happened to me around 2 months ago.
"Burnt all my hand just thought maybe needed to replace iron never thought about contacting russell hobs (sic)."
The vice president of Russell Hobbs' parent company, Tim Wright, admitted the firm first knew about the problem 18 months ago, and apologised to all those who had been hurt.
The firm told the programme it had identified an issue with "a small number of irons that in isolated cases carry a risk that the flex may fail".
It went on: "In light of this, Russell Hobbs has made the decision to recall the models in question.
"If you would like to find out if you have an affected iron, you should look on the underside of the heel of the iron, where you will find a rectangular shaped label featuring a five digit code."
The irons effected by the recall are those with the codes: 15081, 18651, 18720, 18741, 18742, 18743, 19220, 19221, 19222, 19400, 19840, 20260, 20280, 20550-10, 20560-10.
If you have one of the above models, the firm then says you need to check the five-digit batch code.
They add: "If the batch code starts with 045 through to 365 and ends with 12 or starts with 001 through to 195 and ends with 13, then you have an affected Iron.
"If you do have an affected iron, please stop using it immediately."
Tim Wright, Vice President of Spectrum Brands who own Russell Hobbs offered effected consumers an unreserved apology tonight.
He said: "The first thing I would like to do is apologise to all the people who have been individually harmed.
"Clearly that was not our intention.
"We have worked very hard as a company, as a brand, to make sure we bring products to market that are fit for purpose.
"We actually employ over 150 engineers globally to make sure this happens."
But questioned by presenter Anne Robinson about the delay in recalling the fault products, he said: "We did actually discover it over a year ago as you say."
"We recognised that we had a flex in our irons which is actually UK and European compliant, but in certain special occasions was causing an issue.
"So we amended that then, we worked with trading standards and we have been monitoring the situation.
"Every individual that has contacted us we have worked with to reach an amicable resolution and then product was recalled.
"We announced the recall, we were taking to trading standards from last Friday.
"There is a recall in place."

There are four notable mountain ranges in the Tuscon area as well as hundreds of peaks in south eastern Arizona, many of which have remain unnamed. To the north of Tuscon the foothills of the Catalina Mountains can be found that begins where the city ends, rapidly rising to well over a vertical mile to over 9,000 feet. Separated by a few high passes are the forested slopes of the Rincons, and the peaks of the Santa Ritas rise south of the town. Literaly minutes away from downtown the jagged, barren crags of the Tucson mountains can be found to the west of the Tucson Vallley.
Considered a minor mountain range, it includes Wasson Peak, the highest, point in the Tuscon Mountains at 4,687 feet. The area where the Tuscon Mountains are located was once the top of a large volcano that formed about 70 million years ago where the Santa Catalina Mountains are located today. When the volcano collapsed in on itself it formed a caldera, or cicular basin. Then, about 30 million years ago, the top of the volcano slid down 20 miles to the west to form a valley between the Catalina and Tucson Mountains. The upper part of the caldera that was higher than the valley on the west side formed the Tucson Mountains and the other part of the caldera that was higher than the valley on the north side became the Rincon and Santa Catalina Mountains.
The valley was caused by detachment faults that dropped the area where the Tucson Mountains are situated today more than 10,000 feet. The valley has since filled in with about 5,000 feet of sediment. Much of the Tucson mountain area is composed of rhyolite, the extrusive igneous rock created when the volcano erupted. Thousands of cactus plants thrive on the slopes of the Tucson Mountains.
The rock layers in the Tucson Mountains record ancient landscapes that are much different from the southern Arizona we see today. It included a large, shallow, oyster-rich freshwater lake that was located south west of today’s Wasson Peak. Dinosaurs roamed the area for around a million years before the land was raised and the area where the Tucson Mountain are today experienced repeated catastrophic volcano eruptions.
Although not impressively high, this hot rugged mountain range nevertheless represents the character of Tucson and is a highly popular mountainous area that attracts many nature enthusiasts including hikers and climbers.

Here's a simple little piece I did of Laurie Strode from the classic film, John Carpenter's HALLOWEEN. I was looking at a lot of stylized illustrations from the late 60's through the 70's, which inspired this piece. The goal was to keep it simple & fun, and I think I achieved that.
Also, here is a final reminder about my exit from the ZaPow Gallery. These are some of my original pieces that are still available there. Although they are not listed for sale through their website, I'm sure if you contact them, they will give you any information you require. And of course, if you happen to be in or around Asheville, NC, just stop on by and check out the gallery. Lots of lovely things to see.
UPDATE: The Goat painting has sold! But the other 5 pieces are still available. Contact the gallery for more information!

The Bilbao-San Sebastián narrow gauge railway passed over the river Nervión close to the Etxebarri station by means of a bridge of three spans with two piers in the river whose foundations had been increased at different stages and which considerable reduced the waterflow in the riverbed. Furthermore, the deck, formed of simply supported re-enforced concrete beams, was in poor condition. For all these reasons the decision was taken to replace the bridge, with the aim of removing the piers from the riverbed. The solution chosen was a concrete bowstring arch bridge of 80m span.
A general outline of the bridge
The new bridge over the Nervión river has a span of 80m, due to the need to cross the riverbed without introducing piers due to the canalizations introduced for this zone of the river by the Territorial Water Services of the Basque Government. The bridge is to be found at the exit of the Etxebarri station and its height over the riverbed is fixed by the position of the railtracks. This height is low for a span of 80m , which required the building of a single span with above structure bridge, because a simply supported beam would have an excessive depth which would considerably reduce the flow capacity of the river.
The solution which appeared most appropriate was a bowstring arch bridge in which the deck serves as a tie and with it the horizontal forces of the arch are avoided in its ends. Another advantage of this solution is that it reaches the river banks at its minimum depth and it is raised in the centre of the river, so that it causes minimal impact on the environment and countryside at its ends and the highest point of the structure is over the riverbed. This is important in a semi-urban area as the river zone is now but which will probably become fully urban within a short time.
The material used for the bridge was concrete as was stipulated by the owner. In this case, as well as the advantage of the durability of this material, the increased cost of the construction of a concrete bridge against steel bridge, due to its greater weight, is offset by the lower cost of the material.
General outline of the construction of the bridge
If in the making of any bridge it is fundamental to know how it will be built to know how it will be, in this case it was of the first priority because it was a case of substituting a functioning bridge with as little disruption to the train traffic using it as possible. For this reason, in this process there were two basic steps.
- The complete demolition of the existing bridge, both superstructure and sub-structure including the foundations.
- The construction of the new bridge which must be situated in the same place as the original bridge because this is what the track requires.
If the two actions are carried out in sequence, as at first seemed most logical, the time for which train traffic would be suspended would be more than a year, which was unacceptable to the rail service. This period must be reduced to days, and to achieve this it is necessary that during the demolition of the existing bridge the lines can be diverted over a parallel bridge, so a new bridge would be constructed in a parallel position to the present bridge. Once constructed the traffic would pass over it, the demolition of the original bridge could go ahead, and then the construction of the definitive abutments of the new bridge, which must be aligned with the provisional abutments.
When the provisional abutments and the permanent abutments are joined the new bridge could be slid from its provisional position to its permanent one and once moved the provisional tracks could be replaced by permanent ones.
The sliding operation and the substitution of tracks could be carried out in, at most, five days.In this way the interruption to the railtracks would affect the rail service for a very short time.

UK share prices are (broadly speaking at least) under severe pressure right now. Rising tension over soaring inflation have served to push many British stocks firmly to the downside, from FTSE 100 goliaths to the smallest penny stocks.
There have been rare causes for cheer, however. The following penny stocks, for example, have all risen in value over the past month. Here are three I’d spend £500 on each right now.
Inflation is out of control, and people are running scared. But right now there’s one thing we believe Investors should avoid doing at all costs… and that’s doing nothing. That’s why we’ve put together a special report that uncovers 3 of our top UK and US share ideas to try and best hedge against inflation… and better still, we’re giving it away completely FREE today!
More forecast-beating trading news
The HSS Hire Group (LSE: HSS) share price has risen 9% during the past month. This means that in the last 12 months it’s gained 28% in value. The business hires out tools and construction equipment and is thus highly cyclical. Yet the strength of trading here has allowed its share price to rise despite fears over the British economy. The penny stock hiked its earnings expectations yet again in half-year financials released last month.
Trading at HSS Hire would likely cool again if soaring inflation chokes off the economic recovery. But the business has made huge strides to improve its balance sheet, which should help cushion it against any fresh trading problems. The sale of its All Seasons Hire division last month has pulled its leverage down to just 1x. Its improving financial position will also help it to execute its long-term growth plans.
Science in Sport (LSE: SIS) is also managing to defy the broader gloom enveloping UK share markets. The protein shake manufacturer has risen 2% in value over the past month, taking total 12-month gains to 111%. Sales of its products are booming as consumers’ fitness focus boosts demand for its nutritional products. Revenues at the penny stock jumped 24% in the six months to June, financials last month showed. And encouragingly, new product innovations made up a quarter of this total.
The sports supplement market is one that looks set for further stratospheric growth too. Analysts at Grand View Research think it will be worth $34.5bn by 2028, more than double its size today. I think Science in Sport is a great way to ride this phenomenon despite the threat of intense competition to future sales.
Another penny stock on a roll
Like Science in Sport, Finsbury Food Group (LSE: FIF) has also risen 2% in the last month. Consequently the bread, cake and morning goods manufacturer is up 71% on a 12-month basis. I think its role in a defensive sector (we need to eat regardless of economic conditions, right?) makes it a top buy for these uncertain times.
As a long-term investor, I’m excited by the impressive progress Finsbury Food is making on foreign shores. Sales outside the UK account for just 12% of the group total today. But the rate at which they’re growing demands serious attention. Up 13.4% in the 12 months to June, this was far better than the 1% increase reported on home turf. I’d buy this penny stock despite the threat that rising Covid-19 cases poses to its foodservice business.

Rhein-Sieg-Kreis/Bonn · There are still enough intensive care beds in the hospitals in the region despite increasing corona infections. Yet, if staff become infected and whole teams have to be quarantined, supply shortages can quickly become a problem. How well are the hospitals prepared for winter?
The images from overcrowded hospitals in Belgium and France over the weekend are disturbing. The Rhein-Sieg district has been a corona risk area since last Wednesday, and the city of Bonn had already exceeded the relevant incidence value of 50 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants on 16 October. Many beds are still available in the intensive care units of hospitals in the region. Whether the situation will worsen will probably become apparent in the next two weeks.
Ingo Morell, responsible for the hospitals division of the Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft der Franziskanerinnen zu Olpe mbH (GFO) and spokesman for the management, is one of those who always keeps an eye on the corona figures. "As far as the beds are concerned, everything is still manageable at the moment. Things will become more difficult if patients or individual employees test positive for the corona virus. Then you have to send whole teams into quarantine," says Morell.
Intensive care beds and respirators alone are not enough, specially trained staff are needed above all. "Bottlenecks can arise. Intensive care nurse is a demanding additional training course, you don't just do it on the side," says the managing director. The GFO operates three clinics at six locations in the region: the GFO clinics in Bonn include the St. Marien Hospital, the St. Josef Hospital in Beuel and the Cura Hospital in Bad Honnef, the GFO clinics in Troisdorf consist of the two operating facilities St. Johannes and St. Josef, and the Marienhospital in Brühl also belongs to the Franciscan Sisters of Olpe.
Twelve Covid-19 patients are currently in the GFO clinics in the region, half of whom are ventilated. That's not many yet, but: "You can see that a dynamic is developing that needs to be taken seriously," explains Morell. Five or six weeks ago, the clinics only had single isolation rooms with patients who tested positive for sars-CoV-2. "The isolation areas are now getting bigger again, they are whole or half wards," he reports.
In his opinion, the cooperation between the clinics in the region is working well; patients with particularly severe disease courses are treated in the university hospitals in Bonn and Cologne. "We have learned a lot from the first wave, occupancy and treatment in intensive care units is now being made much more differentiated. The doctors coordinate where and what is best done," says Morell.
The situation in the Bonn hospitals is also still quite quiet. "We have one patient with Covid-19 in the Waldkrankenhaus and one in the intensive care unit at Johanniter Hospital. Due to ongoing operations, we cannot make any precise statements about free beds in the intensive care units. However, there are enough beds and personnel available for possible Covid patients," Michael Forst informs us for the Johanniter hospitals in Bonn. In addition, the old intensive care unit at the Johanniter hospital will be kept in reserve.
Helios Hospital has five intensive care beds
According to its spokeswoman Bianca Breuer, the Helios Clinic in Siegburg is also prepared. "Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have always been prepared to react promptly to dynamic developments and new regulations," says Breuer. The clinic currently has five intensive care beds for corona patients. "However, we are also able to increase the number at short notice." The new safety and treatment concepts created by the virus have become part of the clinic's routine. "But we also rely on the help of patients and visitors," says Breuer.
At the end of August, the clinic had already pulled the emergency brake and imposed a ban on visitors for three weeks. Since Wednesday last week, this has applied again in view of the rising infection figures in the Rhein-Sieg district. According to Breuer, there are exceptions for visits to seriously ill and palliative patients. "In such cases, the attending doctor will issue a special permit.“
The visits are also a topic in the GFO clinics. On this Tuesday, a decision will be made here on a restricted visit regulation. That people are not allowed to visit the dying father or mother, as in spring, Morell cannot imagine again. But: "We must also protect our employees and our patients. There have already been considerable disputes with visitors who do not want to follow the rules, "so we have already considered putting a security service outside the door".
THE CURRENT FIGURES IN THE RHINE-VICTORY DISTRICT
More current corona cases than ever before
On Monday, the Rhein-Sieg district recorded 719 current corona cases. This is the highest reported number of infected persons so far, during the first wave in spring there were no more than 600. 3496 laboratory-confirmed infections with Sars-CoV-2 have been reported throughout the district so far. 2719 of these persons have recovered, 2383 persons are currently in domestic quarantine.
According to the NRW Health Centre, the official value of the seven-day incidence was 71.1 new infections per 100,000 inhabitants at midnight on Monday. As reported, there is a time lag between the reports at county and state level. In purely arithmetical terms, the figures reported by the district on Monday compared to the previous week (2837 infections) result in an incidence value of around 100.
The number of current corona cases by municipality: Alfter (confirmed infections in total 141/current cases 22), Bad Honnef (163/12), Bornheim (323/74), Eitorf (89/14), Hennef (249/57), Königswinter (262/50), Lohmar (153/28), Meckenheim (132/20), Much (40/9) Neunkirchen-Seelscheid (68/26), Niederkassel (204/49), Rheinbach (112/13), Ruppichteroth (52/20), Sankt Augustin (522/100), Siegburg (270/47), Swisttal (91/13), Troisdorf (472/141), Wachtberg (80/10) and Windeck (67/14).

I am very much interested in building Stirling Engines. To start with I had 3 failures: a test tube Stirling Engine, a home brew Stirling Engine built out of a pneumatic cylinder, and a tin can Stirling Engine. Eventually, I got the tin can Stirling Engine to run for 15, 20 and 30 seconds.
I retired at the end of June, 1997. I have set up 2 six foot white countertops in my basement with overhead flourescent lighting. I have constructed some clock escapement mechanisms, a differential gear mechanism made of wood (which is like an analog adder), the Stirling Engines and a water pumping system with plastic tubing and a few solenoid valves for controlling the flow.
The Stirling Engine works on the idea that an enclosed parcel of air will expand when heated, and contract again when the heat is removed. When the air expands it can push an attached piston outward since the air pressure of the air parcel exceeds the outside air pressure. When the heat is withdrawn and the air contracts, the outside air pressure exceeds the pressure of the air parcel, and pushes the piston back in. Now the trick of a Stirling Engine is to move the air rapidly back and forth from the HOT END of an air cylinder to the COLD END of the cylinder. This is accomplished by a mass of material which moves back and forth in the cylinder. The material simply displaces the air from one end to the other for heating or cooling. Notice that the movement of the piston is approximately 90 degrees out of phase with the displacer motion.

Premier League club, Arsenal have zoomed into the Europa League quarterfinals despite a second leg round-of-16 defeat to Olympiakos.
The Gunners, who had placed one foot into the last-eight following a 3-1 first leg victory, were beaten 1-0 by the Greek side.
Youssef El-Arabi scored the only goal of the game via a deflection off Gabriel to give the visitors hope, but Arsenal held on.
Recall that this was a repeat of last season’s last-32 tie when Olympiakos knocked the Gunners out in the final minute of extra time at Emirates Stadium.
But Olympiakos were unable to build on El-Arabi’s goal to be able to advance as a red card shown to Ousseynou Ba reduced them to 10 men late on.
Arsenal will discover their quarter-final opponents when the draw is made in Switzerland on Friday.

Langton is a very fine writer and as far as I have found, can't write a bad book. Embellished with her own beautiful pen-and-ink drawings, her works are keepers. I recently acquired this one in hardback; otherwise I would never let it go. You'll enjoy the story, centered around the Old West Church in a small New England town and Homer Kelley is a hoot.
Author knows New England, heah and theah
6th in the series, although they can be read independently, as I did. I read everyone and couldn't wait to pick up the next. I have all on my bookshelf as of this writing. Loved it!
The chronological order of the books is:
The Homer Kelly novels
* The Transcendental Murder (1964) aka The Minuteman Murder
* Dark Nantucket Noon (1975)
* The Memorial Hall Murder (1978)
* Natural Enemy (1982)
* Emily Dickinson Is Dead (1984)
* Good and Dead (1986)
* Murder at the Gardner (1988)
* The Dante Game (1991)
* God in Concord (1992)
* Divine Inspiration (1993)
* The Shortest Day: Murder at the Revels (1995)
* Dead as a Dodo (1996)
* The Face on the Wall (1998)
* The Thief of Venice (1999)
* Murder at Monticello (2001)
* The Escher Twist (2002)
* The Deserter: Murder at Gettysburg (2003)
* Steeplechase (2005)
Too many deaths of individuals belonging to one church in a small town, raise suspicions. What is going on? Who is responsible? Is it God or is it man? Should the terminally ill suffer for their sins to gain entry to heaven? Should mercy give them a slightly earlier more comfortable exit from the world we know? Interesting questions are raised.

“The recent murders in Portland, Oregon, of two men whose throats were slashed when they tried to stop Islamophobic and racist harassment on a light rail train were not just random acts of violence. It is true that the alleged killer, Jeremy Christian, appears to be a troubled person. And it’s true that the murders were outcroppings of the deeper violence of Islamophobia and white supremacy that pervades US society. But they were more than that. They were part of an ongoing spate of murders and shootings that are being directly inspired by the “scripted violence” of the right. When right-wing leaders and media demonize marginalized groups and broadcast calls about a supposed looming “white genocide,” some of the rank-and-file will take these words literally — and try to solve the problem with murder.
The Portland double-murder is only the latest in a series of politically motivated racist killings. In February 2017, Srinivas Kuchibhotla, an Indian man working in the US, was shot to death in a Kansas bar. His alleged murderer shouted “Go back to your country!” In March, a Black man, Timothy Caughman, was stabbed to death by a white man who had traveled to New York to allegedly kill all the Black men he could find. In Baltimore in May, a white man who was part of a Facebook group called “Alt Reich: Nation” allegedly stabbed a Black man, Richard Collins III, to death at a bus stop near the University of Maryland. And these incidents don’t include the numerous other non-fatal shootings and attacks that have occurred.”

I started working on this report two months before the Malheur occupation – which threw quite a wrench in the thing. But now it’s finally finished. A joint project from Political Research Associates and the Rural Organizing Project, Up in Arms: A Guide to Oregon’s Patriot Movement explains the Patriot movement’s national structure and goals; shows its decades-old history in Oregon; looks in-depth at six Oregon counties where Patriot movement organizing is strongest today; explains why the rural Oregon economy is in bad shape; and offers concrete suggestions—including numerous examples from the last year—of how Oregonians have counter-organized against this movement.

Just as they have been since January 2, an armed, mostly White, mostly male group of radical right-wing paramilitaries are still occupying the headquarters of the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. So far, local and federal authorities in nearby Burns, Oregon, have taken almost no action. At press time, the buildings are not surrounded by law enforcement. They have electricity, heat and Internet access. Members of the press, supporters and FedEx workers can drive right up to the occupied territory.
A nearby restaurant called The Narrows is still open, too. One can walk in and see a number people—mostly a mixture of media and armed occupiers—enjoying the warm food, Wi-Fi and bar. The atmosphere recalls the cantina scene from the first “Star Wars.”

I dish the inside dirt, and our analysis, on the Malheur occupation in an interview with It’s Going Down.
Read the interview here.
This is an expanded version of a talk given at the Rural Organizing Project’s Rural Caucus and Strategy Session in Woodburn, Oregon on June 13, 2015.
The Patriot Movement: From Posse Comitatus to the Oath Keepers
In April 2015, armed right-wing paramilitaries converged on a mining claim in the Galice Mining District near Grants Pass in Josephine County, Oregon. Organizationally, it was a combination of different parts of what is called the Patriot movement: militias, 3%ers, Sovereign Citizens, and the Oath Keepers.
The Patriot movement is a form of extreme right politics that exists between the Tea Party end of the Republican Party and the white supremacist movement.* Generally those in the Patriot movement view the current U.S. federal government as an illegitimate, totalitarian state. They see the militias that they are building—and allied county sheriffs—as political-military formations that will eventually replace the current federal government.
Many of their movement’s tactics originate in white supremacist politics, mixed with ideas derived from anti-Communist conspiracy theories of the John Birch Society. According to Daniel Levitas, the group that first espoused many of the basic Patriot concepts was Posse Comitatus, whose founder, William Potter Gale, was a member of the racist Christian Identity religion. In the 1960s, he started to advocate Posse Comitatus (power of the county), based on the idea that the county sheriff is the highest political authority of the land. Gale thought that, in the post-Civil Rights era, the federal government was a totalitarian state run by a cabal of Jews. “County power” would allow people to ignore Supreme Court decisions and federal laws about civil rights and income tax, and allow a return to white supremacy and unfettered capitalism, free from federal regulations. Posse Comitatus also advocated for armed citizens’ militias and crank legal filings, which set the foundation for the formation of militias and Sovereign Citizen ideas, respectively. In 1976, the FBI estimated there were 12,000–50,000 Posse members.

In the not-so-distant past, one had little problem identifying a White separatist. Generally, they came in two styles: white hoods and burning crosses, or oxblood Doc Martens and swastika tattoos. Both were usually shouting vulgar epithets about African-Americans, Jews, and LGBTQ folks. And their relationship with the Left was usually in the form of breaking either bookstore windows or activists’ bones—if not outright murder. Barring them from progressive spaces was an act of physical self-preservation—not a show of political principles in drawing a line against ideological racism and fascism.
Today, White separatists don’t always come in such easily identifiable forms, either in their dress or politics. A part of the White separatist and related Far Right movement has taken some unusual turns. Some fascists seek alliances with ultranationalist people of color—a few of whom, in turn, consider themselves fascists. New types of groups embrace White separatism under a larger banner of decentralization. For many decades, the Far Right has disguised or rebranded its politics by establishing front groups, deploying code words, or using other attempts to fly under the radar. As the years pass by, some of these projects have taken on lives of their own as these forms have been adopted by those with different agendas. Simultaneously, there is a revival of fascist influence within countercultural music scenes. And intertwined with these changes is a renewed attempt on the part of some White separatists to participate in, or cross-recruit from, progressive circles.
This essay was written after a multi-year collaboration with a number of anti-fascist activists; we have struggled to understand this new phenomenon and craft ways to deal with it. I will attempt to: explain why Far Right actors should not be allowed to participate in progressive circles, suggest criteria regarding where the line should be drawn in defining which politics are problematic enough to take action against, and offer suggestions on how to communicate with and encourage individuals who may want to leave those movements.

California Just Got Sued for Failing to Add Meat to the List of Carcinogens
You might be shocked (or pleasantly surprised depending on your views) to learn that processed meat has been classified as a class 1 carcinogen by the World Health Organization -- and now a group of doctors just sued the state of California for not adding it to its list of cancer warning. That’s the same classification as cigarettes. Gross.
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM) —a nonprofit organization with more than 25,000 members in California—was not happy that California repeatedly failed to add processed meat to the official list of known cancer-causing agents, so they sued the state to get this changed.
Processed Meats Raise the Risk of Colorectal, Pancreatic and Prostate and Cancers
According to the WHO, processed meat was classified as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). Tobacco smoking and asbestos are also both classified as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1). While that may not mean that consumption of processed meat is as carcinogenic as tobacco smoking and asbestos, it is worth noting that this is the highest classification given.
The lawsuit filed against the State of California this week says they failed to include cancer-causing processed meat—such as hot dogs, bacon, and deli meat—on its list of substances known to cause cancer, as required by Proposition 65. Proposition 65 requires the State of California to maintain a list of compounds known to cause cancer; despite the classification of processed meats by the WHO, California has not added it.
The lawsuit argues that California has neglected to follow a state law requiring the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA) to include on its carcinogen list. Remember that the PCRM is the same group of doctors trying to get warning labels on cheese (because the trace estrogens could contribute to a woman's lifetime risk of developing breast cancer), and who are trying to get the USDA to "Ditch the Dairy" and take milk and cheese off the USDA's Daily Recommendations for the upcoming revisions of the food pyramid.
“It’s a clear-cut case,” says Mark Kennedy, Esq., vice president of legal affairs for the Physicians Committee. “California has been violating the law for nearly five years by failing to add processed meat to the Proposition 65 list. It’s time for the OEHHA to stop dragging its feet.”
Between 2017 and 2019, the Physicians Committee says it urged the OEHHA to follow the law and list processed meat as a cancer-causing substance. In February 2018, the Physicians Committee backed a resolution introduced in the California State Legislature urging the OEHHA to add processed meat to Proposition 65. In September 2019, the OEHHA told the Physicians Committee that the agency would make a determination regarding processed meat by January 2020 but it failed to do so.
The Beet spoke to a number of industry experts who backed the move by the PCRM. Carissa Kranz, a Super Lawyer-awarded attorney and founder and CEO of BeVeg International—a law firm that advocates for truth and transparency in labels, and certifies vegan businesses and products globally—weighed in.
“There is absolutely no reason to keep the results of these studies off any list that would openly and honestly warn the public of the potentially harmful health consequences of eating meat,” says Kranz. “I suspect PCRM will eventually win this battle, just like they sued the USDA over the old food pyramid and won. It is time for existing information and truth in labeling laws to evolve to reflect the truth: meat is linked to cancer. Period.”
Wait! How, who, when, where, why was meat classified as a Carcinogen?
If you missed the news of the classification altogether, here’s a recap: In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified consumption of processed meat as “carcinogenic to humans” on the basis of sufficient evidence for colorectal cancer, as well as pancreatic and prostate cancers.
This was based on 22 experts from 10 countries assessing more than 800 epidemiological studies. The experts concluded that each 50-gram portion of processed meat (about one hot dog) eaten daily increases the risk of colorectal cancer by 18 percent. The research also shows that eating 50 grams a day of processed meat increases the risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and overall cancer mortality.
The Upside -- If There Is An Upside
While we’ll have to wait and see how this all plays out in court, the good news is there has never been so much awareness about the issues of meat. From negative health implications to environmental hazards, to the ethics of factory-farmed animals, meat is suspect right now.
Consumers are getting savvy and companies are innovating to create affordable, accessible and great-tasting alternatives. Here at The Beet we have a number of resources to help in your transition to adding more plants, and perhaps avoiding meat or reducing consumption:

Pa. call takers and dispatchers prep for 'Batman' calls
Allegheny County Deputy Emergency Management Director Raymond DeMichiei says that some folks may be puzzled by sounds and other mayhem while the Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" is filmed in the area
PITTSBURGH — Emergency dispatchers in Pittsburgh are preparing to take calls from residents who may be unprepared for fake gun shots, explosions and other mayhem while the Batman movie "The Dark Knight Rises" films at various city locations.
The movie has received mammoth publicity in the local media. But Allegheny County Deputy Emergency Management Director Raymond DeMichiei tells WTAE-TV that some folks, no doubt, may be puzzled by some sights and sounds.
That's why DeMichiei is telling residents, "If you hear shots fired or a disturbance or gunfire ... call 911 and report it and we'll figure it out."
Traffic is expected to be affected, too, as some streets will be closed for filming and so crews can put down fake snow for some scenes.

According to reports from the Daily Mirror, Inter Milan are hopeful of selling Stevan Jovetic to Newcastle United instead of allowing him to leave for Sevilla.
While Joselu managed to grab a goal on his home debut in the 3-0 victory over West Ham United, Newcastle United will in all likelihood have to bring in another striker to St. James’ Park before the end of the summer transfer window.
The likes of Aleksandar Mitrovic and Dwight Gayle might be sold by Newcastle in the coming days and even if the duo end up staying put at Tyneside, manager Rafael Benitez is intent on signing a prolific frontman to boost his attacking options.
Inter Milan man Stevan Jovetic is one of the many names that have been linked with a move to Newcastle in recent times but the Magpies face competition in the race to sign the Montenegro international – most notably from Sevilla, where the striker spent last season on loan.
Jovetic is believed to be keen on a return back to Sevilla this summer but according to reports from the Daily Mirror, it has been claimed that Inter Milan are hopeful of selling the 27-year-old to Newcastle as the Premier League side are offering a larger fee.


Despite encouraging sales figures and positive reviews on new products, Samsung CEO Kwon Oh-hyun has announced his resignation following nearly five years as second-in-command of the company.
Kwon Oh-hyun will relinquish his roles as Samsung Electronics’ CEO, vice chairman, and the head of its components business.
The following is a quote from a letter Oh-hyun sent to employees:
As we are confronted with unprecedented crisis inside out, I believe that time has now come for the company start anew, with a new spirit and young leadership to better respond to challenges arising from the rapidly changing IT industry.
The “unprecedented crisis” likely refers to Jay Y Lee, the heir of the Samsung empire, being recently sentenced to five years in prison for bribery and perjury after he was found guilty of overseeing payments to foundations run by South Korea’s former president.
Oh-hyun is expected to leave all roles by March of next year after nearly 32 years with the company. No replacement has been named yet.

Taylor Fritz vs Alexander Bublik
ATP Miami 2021 - Mar, 30th 2021.
Closing odds - money line
T. Fritz vs A. Bublik Predictions (from BetzCenter's Experts)
There were no picks on this match by our experts
Fritz Fancied to Progress
Section 4 of the Miami Open draw is going to be won by a player seeded outside the top 20. American Taylor Fritz is the number 22 seed and takes on the lowest seeded player Alexander Bublik in the fourth round. The winner takes on either 21st seed Jannik Sinner or unseeded Emil Ruusuvuori.
Fritz began the year ranked 29th in the world but had slipped to number 32 before this tournament began. A run to the last eight would surely get him back into the top 30. This is the first time that he's made it past the second round of this tournament. His last two trips to Miami have seen him knocked out in the first round.
The 23-year-old is in the fourth round of an ATP Masters event for only the second time in his career. It equals his best of the fourth round in the 2018 Indian Wells event. He did make the third round of the Australian Open this year.
That was the fourth straight Grand Slam in which he's made it that far. Each time though he's failed to make it to the fourth round. He had a slightly tough task in Australia, having to take on eventual winner Novak Djokovic. He lost the first two sets, won the next two but lost the decider 6-2.
Fritz showed good form in Doha, getting to the semi-finals. He beat Denis Shapovalov and David Goffin before losing to Nikolos Basilashvili in straigth sets. Again the player who beat him went on to win the tournament. He got revenge over Basilashvili in Dubai but then lost to Andrey Rublev in the last 16.
In Miamil, he's beaten Marcos Giron, losing just four games. Then he had to get past Britain's Cameron Norrie who had knocked out ninth seeded Grigor Dimitrov in the previous round. The American won the first set, dropped the second but dominated the final set winning it 6-1.
Bublik in Unchartered Territory
Alexander Bublik is the world number 44 and seeded 32nd for this tournament. This is only his second time in the main draw of the Miami Open. His previous appearance was in 2019 when failing to take a set off Nick Kyrgios.
Like his opponent in this fourth round match, Bublik has never made it past the third round in a Grand Slam. His best effort was making it to the third round in the 2019 US Open. His world ranking has climbed five places this year and he's seven higher than this time last year.
The main reason his ranking has improved is his early 2021 form. Bublik reached the final of the tournament held in Antalya. He beat Matteo Berrettini on his way to the final against Alex de Minaur. However, that final only lasted a couple of games before he retired with an injury.
Bublik only reached the second round of the Australian Open, losing to Dusan Lajovic in four sets. He bounced back to form though, losing in the final of a tournament held in Singapore. Bublik didn't beat anyone in the top 60 and would have been disappointed to lose to Alexander Popyrin in the final, who was ranked outside the top 100.
His form dipped a little bit after that but he did beat Alexander Zverev in Rotterdam. He's made it to this fourth round without dropping a set. Wins have come against Laslo Dere and Jack Duckworth. This is a tougher match and Fritz can be backed to get the win.

100+ people treated for symptoms possibly caused by cannabis in food and drink in Khon Kaen
More than 100 people in Thailand’s north-eastern province of Khon Kaen have reported for treatment of dizziness and nausea after consuming food or drinks thought to contain cannabis
Cannabis and hemp were decriminalised in the country on June 9th.
Cherdchai Ariyanuchitkul, deputy provincial health chief, said yesterday (Friday) that most of the patients suffered only mild symptoms, but one case was suffering psychiatric symptoms.
He said the provincial health office has launched a campaign to educate people in the province about the medical benefits of cannabis and its extracts and the health risks of their recreational use.
He also said that eateries will be urged not to use cannabis in food or drinks, although they are allowed to do so.
In the north-eastern province of Buri Ram, one woman said in her Facebook post that she suffered a headache, nausea and pain in her nostrils after eating a bowl of noodles at a food shop, adding that she suspects cannabis was in the soup.
She suggested that food vendors and owners of food shops display a sign to warn customers if they use cannabis in their products.
Meanwhile, a group has launched a signature collection campaign, on change.org, to urge the Ministry of Public Health to revoke the ministerial regulation, removing cannabis and hemp from the Category 5 drugs list, until the Cannabis and Hemp Bill has been passed by parliament.
The group said they have no intention to stop the controlled use of cannabis and hemp, but want the ministry to wait until the Bill becomes law.
By 1.30pm today, nearly 4,000 people had signed up in support of the campaign.

Grants of up to $300,000 are available for costs of maintenance and improvements on council roads, which can include shoulder repairs, road surface repairs and signage.
Works that will be considered also include heavy patching, pavement rehabilitation, grading of unsealed roads to reduce roughness and rutting, seals that contribute to minimising long term maintenance costs, tree trimming to improve access to large vehicles, the installation of infrastructure monitoring equipment and more.
Recently completed projects which improve freight access for drought relief can also be considered for the grants.
Work on the road upgrades must be started within 30 days of receiving confirmation from Roads and Maritime Services and must be completed within 50 days.
The NSW Government has also states it will make improvements to strategic freight links and roads that provide relief to other parts of the local network.
Minister for Roads, Maritime and Freight Melinda Pavey said farmers impacted by the drought are relying on the vital transport of stock, feed and water across the state, which has increased the impact on the road network.
“Funding will be targeted to support improved productivity for road freight while maintaining or improving safety for road users,” Ms Pavey said.
