We all about the famous car company Mercedes-Benz but Here are a few interesting facts about the company that you did not know:
- The first Mercedes-Benz brought in the modern automobile to the world-
Karl Benz patented his three-wheeled, Motorwagen in the year 1886, which his wife took on a 120-mile tour through Germany without his knowledge. It was equipped with a 954cc single-piston, four-stroke -engine with a blistering-for-that-time 0.9hp.
- The iconic silver color came into the picture from saving weight for a race-
Most of the company’s race cars, the special and their flagship models have the company’s recognizable silver shade but the color only a mere improvisation. In the year 1934 at the Nürburgring, Mercedes-Benz’s white, aluminum-bodied W 25 race car had to be under the weight of 750 kg to race, but it came in over one kilogram above the standard weight. The racing team manager decided to take out the paint which resulted in a sparkling silver racer that ended up winning the race and even cementing an archetypal color.
- Mercedes-Benz made a hybrid vehicle in the year 1906-
Early car companies experimented with a mixture of electric and gasoline-powered vehicles before cars powered by petrol took over, the company’s Mixte model was the very first manufactured hybrid car. It had a gas engine in the front along with a dynamo that supplied the spark for the two motors in the rear. The model claimed a top speed of 75 mph.
- Gottlieb Daimler inadvertently invented the first motorcycle-
When Daimler manufactured a vertical, one-cylinder engine back in the year 1885 that ran on gasoline, he attached it into a wooden frame that is based off a bicycle. This cool invention brought in the Daimler Reitwagen and is considered the very first motorcycle.
- Safety crumple zones started on a Mercedes-Benz-
In the year 1951, when most of the American cars subscribed to the more-metal-is-safer attitude, the company’s engineer Béla Barényi’s research led to a patent on a variety of specialized cells within the car body that can deform upon any impact. These “crumple zones” helped them to redistribute the force of impact during a crash and ended up being implemented on Mercedes-Benz cars ever since the year 1959.
- They were one of the first companies to stick brakes and suspension on all four wheels-
By the summer of the year 1924, all the company’s cars have been equipped with brakes on four wheels, and it also helped in solidifying the company’s commitment to safety. Then in the year 1931, they brought in the Mercedes-Benz 170, which was well-equipped with a suspension on each corner of the car, also with leaf springs in the front and even an innovative coil spring at the rear.

Spending time in nature has a surprising effect on early childhood development
[Oct 25, 2021: University of British Columbia]
Want to ensure your child hits their expected developmental milestones? New UBC research suggests living in areas with high exposure to greenspace can help set them up for success.
For the study, researchers at the UBC faculty of forestry and faculty of medicine analyzed the developmental scores of 27,372 children in Metro Vancouver who attended kindergarten between 2005 and 2011. They estimated the amount of greenspace around each child’s residence from birth to age five. They also assessed levels of traffic-related air pollution and community noise.
The results highlight the fundamental importance of natural green spaces like street trees, parks and community gardens, authors say.
“Most of the children were doing well in their development, in terms of language skills, cognitive capacity, socialization and other outcomes,” says study author Ingrid Jarvis (she/her), a PhD candidate in the department of forest and conservation sciences at UBC. “But what’s interesting is that those children living in a residential location with more vegetation and richer natural environments showed better overall development than their peers with less greenspace.”

According to the researchers, the reason for this is partly greenspaces’ ability to reduce the harmful effects of air pollution and noise—environmental challenges that have been shown to adversely affect children’s health and development through increased stress, sleep disturbances and central nervous system damage.
“Few studies have investigated this pathway linking greenspace and developmental outcomes among children, and we believe this is the first Canadian study to do so,” adds Jarvis.
The researchers assessed early childhood development using the Early Development Instrument (EDI), a survey completed by kindergarten teachers for each child. The tool measures a child’s ability to meet age-appropriate developmental expectations.
“More research is needed, but our findings suggest that urban planning efforts to increase greenspace in residential neighbourhoods and around schools are beneficial for early childhood development, with potential health benefits throughout life,” says the study’s senior author and UBC research associate, Matilda van den Bosch (she/her).
“Time in nature can benefit everyone, but if we want our children to have a good head start, it’s important to provide an enriching environment through nature contact. Access to greenspace from a very young age can help ensure good social, emotional and mental development among children.”

Well the hoors have been quiet for a wee while now... So I thought I'd brighten up my blog a little by the introduction of a new medium: The Haiku.
According to http://home.clara.net/pka/haiku/haiku.htm,
- a haiku usually has 17 syllables, often in the form 5-7-5.
- a haiku can describe almost anything
- you seldom find complicated themes in a haiku.
In fact, according to http://www.toyomasu.com/haiku/#howtowritehaiku, "some of the most thrilling haiku poems describe daily situations in a way that gives the reader a brand new experience of a well known situation.

A facelifted Mercedes-AMG S 63 development car has been filmed testing in Germany by YouTube user Walkoart ahead of the hot model's anticipated launch later this year.
The latest sighting shows the car will get redesigned bumpers at the front and rear, as well as new headlight clusters. Earlier sightings of the car running at the Nürburgring (pictured below) suggest there will also be tweaks to the car's chassis and drivetrain.
As with its Mercedes-AMG S 63 Coupé sibling, which is also soon to be facelifted, power is set to increase from the current 577bhp. The current S 63's 5.5-litre V8 motor also outputs 663lb ft, which arrives at 2250rpm and plateaus until 3750rpm, so a performance increase here should see the luxury saloon capable of sprinting from 0-62mph in a little over 4.0sec - impressive figures for a car that weighs more than two tonnes.
The refreshed S 63 will arrive with an updated S-Class range that will get significantly more advanced autonomous systems. Autocar has already sampled the technology, which will almost certainly also be employed on the S 63 performance model.

Will Nvidia accept a ride from CCIX?
Deep-learning accelerators need a standard interface, said a top engineering manager at Uber who sketched a picture of the company’s use of AI, its data centers, and their challenges.
“AI is really disrupting our industry” across the design of chips, boards, systems, and services, said Gloria Lau, head of hardware engineering at Uber, in a keynote at DesignCon here.
Like many other web giants, Uber uses banks of Nvidia GPUs for deep learning today, often riding Nvidia’s NVLink interface. Also like other large data center operators, it is testing FPGAs and ASICs from startups including Eyeris, Graphcore, and Wave Computing in its search for more performance and efficiency.
“I would love to see a standard interface for all AI chips — NVLink is just for Nvidia,” Lau said.
In a brief encounter after her keynote, she said that she is familiar with the CCIX standard supported by AMD, Arm, IBM, Xilinx, and others. But to date, Nvidia is not using it, she noted.
The many deep-learning algorithms that Uber uses need to “settle down” before the company can pick an ASIC accelerator. In the meantime, she noted challenges programming both FPGAs and the tensor cores in Nvidia’s latest Pascal chips.
Uber considers itself “on the bleeding edge of AI,” maintaining its own dedicated AI research team. It runs more than a dozen deep-learning models in its data centers including recommendation engines for Uber Eats, fraud detection services, and features to improve estimates of when a driver will arrive.
The algorithms span a half-dozen varieties, implemented across a laundry list of mainly open-source frameworks and libraries. The underlying AI hardware today consumes as much as 40 kW in a rack of systems — twice the power that standard servers use — and can require flows of more than 100 petabytes of data.
Amid the complexity, Uber is seeking simplicity. “We are architecting our next-generation AI server so that people other than data scientists can do the AI work,” Lau said.
Next page: Also on the wish list: a server management interface
Like Google, Uber is starting to design its own compute and storage servers and have them made by ODMs. It has even designed a variant of a 19-inch rack to house them along with vertically mounted switches.
Lau described Uber’s “super-hot” storage server using two Intel Cascade Lake processors. Each 1U system packs more than 16 TB of NAND flash, and 96 systems fit in a rack.
A so-called warm storage system uses older Broadwell processors and up to 70 8-TB SATA hard-disk drives in a 4U design that packs 6 petabytes in a rack. “Warm storage cuts our cost in half,” Lau said.
Uber operates two large data centers in the U.S. and one in Europe with a half-dozen smaller centers sprinkled around the world. It runs copies of its 3,000 corporate microservices in seperate regions, each region made up of at least three 5-MW data centers.
The systems have served more than 10 billion Uber rides to date at a rate of about 15 million a day across 600 cities in 65 countries. Given the scale, it’s no surprise that Lau also called for a common management interface for all servers, faster networks, and more power per rack.

The LG V20 is the successor to last years LG V10, and it will be announced in September this year. Not much has been leaked about this smartphone.
LG launched the V10 last year to much fan fare. It had a second screen just for notifications and shortcuts, a dual camera setup in the front, and high-end internals. The V20, much like its predecessor, will also be a gem of a device for LG.
The company didn’t really do well with their current flagship smartphone, the LG G5. Although it features a world’s first modular design, it didn’t really make an impact. Now, LG wants to get back on the bandwagon with the launch of the V20. Samsung has already launched the Galaxy Note 7 and Apple will be launching the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus some time in September.
LG V20 Design and Renders
There haven’t been any V20 leaks, so we don’t really know what the phone is going to look like. However, Android Authority recently posted renders of the smartphone and it reveals quite a lot about the design.
The ticker display is still visible on the front of the display and it looks like the V20 will indeed feature a modular design. Notice the module release button at the bottom, similar to the one on the G5.
The renders suggest that the V20 will be a little thinner and narrower than the V10. The fingerprint sensor embedded in the power button will remain at the back. The volume buttons are no longer at the back, instead they’ve been moved to the left side.
Case maker Ballistic posted some photos of the V20 wrapped in their Elsa Jewel case. The 3D renders gives us a better idea of what the smartphone will look like.
Prominent leaker Evan Blass also posted an image of the front of the image. It confirms a few upcoming features of the LG V20.
LG V20 Specifications
We don’t really know much regarding the specifications of the upcoming V20 smartphone from LG. Yes, it’ll be another flagship and will most likely feature the latest Snapdragon processor, 4GB of RAM, a Quad HD display, dual camera setup, dual selfie camera and more.
The phone will once again feature a second screen, as shown in renders, and also come with an in-built 32-bit DAC. It has also been reported that the V20 will feature LG Friends. This means that this phone would also come with a modular design, allowing you to add or swap hardware.
The LG G5 and Friends didn’t really do very well with the users, so we’re not sure if it’s going to help the upcoming V20.
What we know for sure, is that the LG V20 will be the first smartphone to ship with the latest Android 7.0 Nougat on board. Google has confirmed this as well.
LG V20 Release Date
LG has confirmed that the V20 will be announced on September 6 this year. The company sent out invites to the press, confirming the LG V20 release date.
The invite states ‘Play More,’ which could mean that LG and Friends are making a comeback. Whatever it is, we will find out soon enough. The LG V20 event takes place in San Francisco in about a months time.
What do you expect from the LG V20? Will it have similar success like the V10? Or will the modular design kill this as well? We can’t wait to find out what LG has in stores for us.

Mahindra Thar is a single of the most popular 4×4 SUVs in Indian industry at the minute. The SUV was launched in 2020 and given that then it has found an mind-boggling response from clients. The SUV has a prolonged ready interval even these days. In the final one particular 12 months, we have found various illustrations of neatly modified and customised Mahindra Thar from distinct part of the state. There are wide variety of add-ons accessible for Thar in the market to enhance the the off-highway abilities or seems to be. Here we have a video where by a Mahindra petrol SUV has been neatly modified with aftermarket alloy wheels.
The video has been uploaded by Autostyle Bangalore on their YouTube channel. Mahindra Thar found below gets an all-black shade. The SUV will get an all-black theme and this provides it a indicate appear. Starting with the front, the inventory grille has been changed with an aftermarket Jeep grille. The entrance bumper has also been replaced. The stock halogen headlamps have been replaced with an LED device with integrated ring type DRL. The aftermarket bumper will get a provision for an electric powered winch and there are shackles put in on it as properly.
The reduce section of the bumper will get an metallic skid plate as well. The bumper also arrives with built-in fog lamps. Coming to the facet profile, the inventory 18 inch alloy wheels on Thar have been replaced with aftermarket alloy wheels from the Fuel brand name. The alloy wheels is completed in gloss black with Purple accents. The tyres have also been upgraded. The alloy wheels and tyres are 20 inch models. On the front doorways, hinge climbers have been put in.
The Mahindra Thar found here is a LX gentle prime convertible variant. So the selection of modifications like a roof rack other equipment could not be set up. Coming to the rear, the tail lamps are now LED units. A established of reflector LED lamps have also been put in in the car or truck. Apart from the exterior, inside on this car or truck have also been customised. The seats are now wrapped in Nappa leather and a heart armrest has also been installed. The car receives grab handles, 7D ground mats, trunk organisers. armrest for rear travellers and lots of far more add-ons.
An aftermarket electronic instrument cluster was also installed on the dashboard for a sporty search.

Citing concerns about the growing “shadow government” of contractors who cost American taxpayers $377 billion in 2005, the House of Representatives this winter passed H.R. 1362 to reform acquisition practices in the federal government.
The bill, sponsored by Rep. Henry Waxman (D-Calif.), would impose strict limits on the amount of non-competitive and sole-source contracts awarded by federal agencies that gave out at least $1 billion in the previous fiscal year.
The limits on sole-source contracting would not be applied to “contract preference groups,” including small disadvantaged businesses.
The bill next moves to the Senate, where Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.), chair of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said he might take up the subject of federal contracting late this year.
In writing the bill, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform focused mostly on contracts for reconstruction in Iraq and rebuilding on the U.S. Gulf Coast, citing many instances of poor management and possible fraud or abuse.
Compared to Iraq or the Katrina contracts, Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) spending is a miniscule budgetary concern, but according to the Government Accountability Office (GAO), HUD’s contracts also may involve a high proportion of wasteful spending.
If the GAO’s examples are any indication of HUD’s typical contracting practices, the department is wasting millions of taxpayer dollars every year.
The GAO only sampled a small number of the $1 billion per year in HUD contracts, but it found cases where substantial amounts of money were spent without adherence to HUD’s rules for contractors, and where HUD paid for work and services that were not completed or even started.
While the problems were found in only a small sample of contracts, the systemic weaknesses that the GAO found suggest that they could very well be the tip of the iceberg.
In a 2002 report, HUD Management: Actions Needed to Improve Acquisition Management, the watchdog agency said HUD’s efforts to improve its procurement methods still fell short of what was needed after previous GAO reports had urged improvements.
A review of 43 active contracts administered by HUD’s Office of Multifamily Housing found that the managers on 30 of these contracts—70 percent—did not make use of any of the tools in HUD’s Procurement Policies and Procedures Handbook. The manual provides a framework for the monitoring of contractors and establishes various monitoring tools.
The GAO also found that HUD employees responsible for oversight of property disposition activities said they were unable to make regular site visits, citing a lack of time and resources. Although HUD’s disposition handbook calls for quarterly on-site inspections, the specific guidance related to that requirement had not been developed at that time.
“Weaknesses in HUD’s monitoring processes limit the department’s ability to identify and correct contractor performance problems, hold contractors accountable, and assure itself that it is receiving services for which it pays,” said the 2002 GAO report. The GAO noted one case where one of HUD’s multifamily property management contractors blatantly bypassed HUD’s controls. It said that “over 18 months, HUD authorized and paid for approximately $10 million of renovations, of which each invoice was less than $50,000,” the threshold at which invoices require HUD approval. “HUD did not verify that any of the construction renovations were actually performed or determine whether the emergency expenditures constituted such a classification,” the report said.
The GAO found that HUD “does not strategically manage its acquisition workforce to ensure that individuals have the appropriate workload, skills, and training that allows them to effectively perform their jobs.”
It said that HUD’s own records showed that 89 percent of HUD’s contracting officers, contract specialists, procurement analysts, and purchasing agents do not meet federal training requirements. An official, however, said that many probably have met the requirements.
The GAO cited a study that found that the Office of the Chief Procurement Officer in headquarters was badly understaffed and called it “an organization in crisis.”
Finally, the GAO reported that the data in the HUD procurement system are not reliable. The GAO found that HUD’s system had difficulty generating an accurate list of active multifamily contracts, and that for 4 percent of HUD’s active contracts, its database showed HUD had obligated $197 million more than the stated total value of the contracts, although the discrepancy did not necessarily mean that HUD overpaid.
The GAO called on HUD to make a number of improvements. In a follow-up report, the watchdog agency duly noted HUD’s claims that it had improved its operations, but said that it was unable to verify that the improvements were effective. The GAO staffer in charge of the HUD reports did not return AHF’s call requesting comment.

Butler University’s Student Government Association is hoping to increase student interest and voter turnout for the presidential and class officer elections on Feb. 27.
Allie Combs, the public relations representative for the SGA Election Oversight Committee, said that SGA is turning to technology for this election.
“(SGA members) usually do a ‘Rock the Vote’ campaign,” she said, “but it was causing confusion. People thought you could only vote that way and that you couldn’t vote online, so we’re not doing that this year.”
Instead, voting will take place completely online and will be promoted through social media.
Combs also said a debate and a Starbucks forum will be held for students to learn more about candidates.
The candidates will not have to face an incumbent, since current SGA President Al Carroll said in an email to The Collegian that he will not be running for reelection this year.
Applications for president and class officers went up Thursday and must be returned tomorrow by 5 p.m. Until that process is complete and applications are verified, an official candidate list cannot be made, Jonathan Himes, SGA vice president of programming, said. However, contenders are emerging.
Mike Keller, a member of the SGA Finance Board, and Kelsa Reynolds, SGA vice president of operations, both said in emails to The Collegian that they will be running for SGA president.
Getting students interested in the election is key to increasing turnout, Dan Schramm, SGA vice president of finance, said. He said that students should care about the elections, particularly the presidential race.
“The president is the spearhead person of SGA, and most of the programs we do are at least approved by him, if not led by him,” Schramm said.
The money for those programs, such as The Fray concert during the fall semester, comes from the SGA budget, Lauren Pedigo, SGA vice president of public relations, said. This budget is made up of the $288 fee each student pays.
“Students pay an activity fee every year to get programming on campus, and you’re voting for the person who will ultimately be the decider on programming,” Pedigo said.
Money is not the only reason to vote, she said.
“You’re voting for someone who will represent your views,” Pedigo said.
Last year, The Collegian reported in “Al Carroll on winning SGA president, moving forward” that 27 percent of students voted in the presidential election, which was a 6 percent drop from the previous year (Mar. 3, 2011). In addition, The Collegian reported in “SGA presidential candidate debate draws 35 students” that less than 1 percent of the student body—35 students—attended the candidate debate for the 2010 election (Feb. 17, 2010).
Pedigo and Schramm both ideally want 100 percent voter turnout but said they realize that result is nearly impossible.
Schramm said he hopes for 50 percent, and Himes said he aims to double last year’s percentage, which would require hitting 54 percent.
“A good goal would be to improve upon last year,” Pedigo said, “and get more people involved and caring about the election.”
Campaigning begins Monday, and voting will take place on Feb. 27.

McDonald’s is suing the city of Florence, Italy for more than $19 million after the city has denied the chain the right to build a restaurant in a historic plaza.
In June, Florence mayor Dario Nardella denied McDonald’s the right to build a restaurant in the Piazza del Duomo, near the city’s historic renaissance-style Cathedral. The BBC reports that the decision was upheld in July by a panel in charge of preserving the city’s history.
But McDonald’s says it has changed its plans to fit within the city’s guidelines, and claims it’s being discriminated against. It estimates that it will lose almost a million Euros a year for the next 18 years, and it wants Florence to pay up.
"We completely agree that the cultural and artistic heritage and the Italian historical town centres have to be protected and guaranteed, as well as the traditions and the historical small shops, but we cannot accept discriminatory regulations that damage the freedom of private initiative without being advantageous to anyone," McDonald’s said in a statement to the BBC.
“We also have the right to say no,” Nardella told city council.
This isn’t the first time McDonald’s has had trouble opening a restaurant in Italy. Earlier this year, the Catholic church voiced its displeasure after the chain tried to open a restaurant just blocks away from the Vatican.

Arijit Malakar, Head, Research (Retail), Ashika Stock Broking expects the market momentum to continue in the second half of 2021 though he foresees intermittent corrections. These corrections, he says, are an opportunity to pick up quality stocks at reasonable valuations.
Strong Q4FY21 results, reopening of the economy and ramp-up in vaccination are likely to drive the market in the coming months, he says.
In an interview to Moneycontrol’s Sunil Shankar Matkar, Malakar says sectors like IT, BFSI, metal and capital goods are expected to perform well in 2021 as economic activity picks up. Edited excerpts:
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman recently announced some more fiscal measures for the sectors hit hard by the coronavirus pandemic. Do you expect more such steps in the coming months?
The government’s recently announced Rs 6.29-lakh- crore stimulus package is aimed at enabling the survival of firms hit by the second wave of Covid pandemic through targeted credit guarantees. However, providing support through loan guarantee schemes might not be enough to boost the overall economic growth. There is a need to rebuild confidence among the people to boost consumption demand on a sustained basis. Income support to urban workers, higher MGNREGA allocation, wage support to MSMEs, reduction in taxes on fuels, and cash transfers to the poor to boost consumer demand are some much-needed stimulus in this current situation to help the economic growth rebound.
What are your expectations for the June quarter earnings?
The second Covid wave in April-May, 2021 has affected the sentiments and impacted economic activity. Though the restrictions this time were localised and less stringent versus the lockdown in 2020, thus the Q1FY22 corporate earnings will be less impacted during this time.
However, Q1FY22 has witnessed a similar kind of disruption in the wake of second wave of pandemic engulfing India and several states imposing lockdowns in April and May 2021. On a year-on-year basis, there could be growth, while sequentially there will be a steep decline in overall performance.
Which are the sectors that can report strong and weak earnings in the June quarter?
IT, banking & financials, pharma, broking, and metals are the sectors, which remain insulated from adverse effect during the second wave of Covid, and these sectors are expected to deliver much better numbers in Q1FY22 compared to other sectors which faced challenges in their business during that time.
Do you expect the market to add another 10 percent of gains in the second half of CY21 after an over 10 percent rally in the first half of the year? What is your target for the Sensex and the Nifty for the second half?
Positive momentum in the market is expected to continue in the second half of CY21, though there could be intermittent correction and investors should utilise these corrections to pick up quality stocks at reasonable valuations. The fundamental factors like strong
Q4FY21 results and reopening of the economy and ramp-up in vaccination are likely to drive the market momentum in the coming months.
Besides, the global economy is in its best shape which is reflected in a surge in commodity prices and crude oil prices. However, one of the key global factors to look out for would be tapering by the US Federal Reserve followed by European Central Bank. The rise in inflation in developed economies is more of a concern for the emerging economies as funds flow back to the developed countries led by USD appreciation. However, improving corporate earnings in coming quarters on the back of gradual opening up the economy post second wave and increasing Capex by the companies and government amid improving demand are likely to drive the domestic economic growth going forward.
The Nifty has rallied by almost 12 percent since the start of the calendar year, leading (it) to overbought price territory. Therefore, intermittent bouts of volatility might be seen in the second half of CY21. An extended breather from hereon should be capitalised as an incremental buying opportunity around the levels of 15,200-15,400, as one can expect the index to continue its northward journey towards 16,400 in the Nifty and 55,800 in the Sensex.
Also read: Two IPOs to hit market next week; to raise over Rs 2,500 crore cumulatively
The primary market activity in the first half of CY21 was much stronger than the previous year. Do you expect more fundraising via IPOs in the second half of CY21 compared to the first half of CY21?
The activity in the primary market was robust in first half of CY21 on the back of strong positive momentum in the secondary market since April 2020. The factors behind the robust performance are abundant global liquidity because of low interest rates across the globe, improving corporate earnings & economic data, and pick-up in vaccinations.
Around 24 companies came up with their IPOs in the first half of CY21 and raised nearly Rs 39,000 crore from the primary market, which was higher compared to the first half of CY20.
The momentum in the primary market is expected to continue in 2nd half of CY21 in sync with secondary market performance. The fundraising in the second half of CY21 is likely to exceed the level seen in the first half of CY21 as a lot of large companies like Zomato, Policybazaar, Delhivery are in the queue to launch their IPOs.
What are the key sectors which can create multi-baggers in the coming year, and what are the investment rationales?
Sectors like IT, BFSI, Metal, and Capital goods are expected to perform well in 2021. IT sector has entered into a multi-year upcycle because of the higher demand for digitalisation and cloud computing. Momentum in bid deal wins, vendor consolidation, sustainable margins and dollar appreciation are some of the key near-term triggers for the IT sector.
For the banking sector, the stress in assets related to Covid impact has been reduced on the back of liquidity support and emergency credit support, especially to micro, small and medium units (MSMEs), thereby improving the asset quality of the banks and financials.
Further, banks have also strengthened their financials by raising capital and building provision buffers. In the backdrop of improving economic data amid receding Covid cases and increasing vaccination, credit growth would revive in the coming quarters and would be the key to economic growth.
The US government’s massive stimulus package of $ 1 trillion to revive the infrastructure has upgraded the earnings outlook of the global metal sector. Reviving the global economy, increasing private Capex, Russia imposing an export duty on metals, Chinese curbing production due to environmental concern, and the low-interest regime are expected to drive the metal prices further.
Most of the manufacturing companies have been operating at around 80-90 percent capacity utilisation prior to the second wave and they need to expand the capacity to meet the demand. Thus, the capital goods sector will be in focus on the backdrop of private and government capex’s drive to revive the economy.

Saturday, May 28th, 2022; 9:30 p.m. CT
Location: Chukchansi Park
Follow @ForwardMSNFC on Twitter for live match updates
Forward Madison is set to travel to Fresno, California to take on Central Valley Fuego FC on Saturday, May 28th, 2022. The match will kick off at 9:30 pm CT at Chukchansi Park. In the first meeting between these clubs this season, Jesus Partida scored the lone goal in the 54th minute to give Fuego the win at Breese Stevens Field on April 30th.
Forward Madison enters Saturday’s match following a close 2-1 loss to Charlotte Independence on May 21st. Nazeem Bartman had an impressive showing Saturday, as he scored a curling shot from the edge of the box to bring the Flamingos back into the game. Next up on the schedule, after the Fuego match, the Flamingos will welcome FC Tucson to Breese for a match on June 4th at 7:00 pm.
Before taking on FMFC, Central Valley Fuego FC battled against South Georgia Tormenta FC and dominantly won 4-0. Fuego will stay at home after their match with the Flamingos as they will welcome the Chattanooga Red Wolves for a match on June 11th.
Coaches and USL League One 2022 Records
Central Valley Fuego FC (3-1-3)
Head Coach: Martín Vásquez
Foward Madison FC (1-3-3)
Head Coach: Matt Glaeser
Key Players to Watch:
Mitch Osmond: The Australian native has been one of the most solid defenders for FMFC so far this season. Osmond leads the team in interceptions (12) and blocks (5) while he’s playing the most minutes of any defender (540). Expect another big game from the 28-year-old defender.
Rojay Smith: Smith has dominated the wing, sneaking past defenders and helping create quality chances for the FMFC forwards in the last few games. The Jamaican native will need to continue to pass the ball accurately (84.7%) and push the offense on counter attacks to help the Flamingos produce offensively and avenge their previous loss to Fuego.
Phil Breno: The 26-year-old was on track to record a clean sheet in FMFC’s first match against Fuego before Breno got caught out of position on a quick counter attack by Fuego. Expect Breno to step up and lockdown the Fuego attack to record the clean sheet he should’ve recorded in their first matchup.
Key Match Up
FMFC Strikers vs Fuego Backline:
The key match up for this contest is the Forward Madison strikers against the Central Valley Fuego backline. In the first match between these clubs this season, FMFC dominated offensively (recording 12 shots compared to 1 for Fuego) and controlled possession (58%), however they weren’t able to get a shot past the Fuego goalkeeper. Coach Matt Glaeser will need to urge his team to apply pressure offensively and really work the Fuego backline. If the Flamingos are able to record some free kicks and corners, the offense should have no problem getting quality shots on the Fuego goalkeeper. Expect Jeremiah Streng and Rojay Smith to have a key role providing energy into the FMFC attack.
Fuego has been decent on the defensive end recently, allowing three goals in their last three games. In Central Valley’s last match, however, they conceded one goal in the first five minutes and they conceded another first half goal off a penalty. If FMFC can spark the offense early in the match and maintain that energy throughout the game, the Flamingos should be able to get some goals past the Fuego goalkeeper. They also need to draw some set piece opportunities to boost their chances of recording quality shots.
Keys to the Match
- Disrupt Fuego’s Passing: Fuego has been effective passing the ball this season, ranking in the top five in the league in passing accuracy (78%). In their last match with FMFC, great passing led to their team persevering. If FMFC can shut down Fuego’s passing lanes and force Fuego to be uncomfortable, the Flamingos should be able to record plenty of turnovers and hopefully get some quality chances off counterattacks.
- Control the Possession: FMFC controlled the tempo of the last match with Fuego as they controlled 58% of the possession. Controlling the possession helped as the Flamingos were able to keep the ball on the offensive side for much of the match. Expect FMFC to make a solid effort to control the tempo of the match once again.
Previous and Next Match
Forward Madison entered Saturday’s match following a 2-1 loss to Charlotte Independence on May 21st. Looking ahead, the Flamingos will welcome FC Tucson to Breese Stevens Field on June 4th, 2022, and then the Greenville Triumph on June 11th, 2022.
Central Valley Fuego FC is coming off a big win over South Georgia Tormenta FC. After taking on FMFC, Fuego will travel home to welcome Chattanooga on June 11th, 2022 then FC Tucson on June 18th, 2022.

The Polling Center at Jackson State University’s Institute of Government has released a national survey of 1000 adults. The Poll covered concerns over terrorism and attacks, concern about mass shootings, views on terror succeeding in creating a climate of fear, views on arming citizens to reduce damage from acts of terror and terror fears among children.
Most support closing public schools whenever threatened out of an abundance of caution; Large majority of parents/caregivers will consider campus security in college/university selection decisions
Respondents, reminded of recent public school closings in Los Angeles due to an email terror threat, were asked which of two approaches to closing schools they would select. Nearly one-half, 47.5%, indicated public schools should be closed whenever threatened out of an abundance of caution while 38.5% suggested public schools should remain open unless, and until, designated law enforcement professionals decide a threat is credible.
According to parents or caregivers, concern over terrorism is on the increase among children. More than three-quarters, 76.3%, suggested that expressions of concern has increased significantly (37.5%) or somewhat (38.7%) over the past year.
Just over one-half of all respondents with children in their care, 56.5%, reported they have an Emergency Action Plan in place.
These same parents or caregivers noted that campus security would be strongly considered when making college/university selection decisions. A large majority, 84.4%, noted that they would very strongly (52.3%) or somewhat strongly (32.1%) consider safety in college decisions for their respective children entering college.
This Poll was conducted January 22-27, 2016.

My experience was awful and I would not recommend this firm to anyone. I had to make all the phone calls. No one would ever call me, first. I called and complained, several times, but wasn't important enough to get a call back from Mr. Portner.
Trust me when I say, there are MUCH better firms, out there.
The law offices of Portner & Shure represented me in a MVA incident I was involved in, the other party admitted full fault in this matter. They did handle the case reasonably well, although for a case with the other party admitting fault, taking over a year to settle the matter was excessive in my opinion. When it came to time for the settlement there was an issue with a pre-existing condition, from what their PA Christina told me; the only problem was that I did not have any such pre-existing condition related to the organ which was damaged in the accident. By the end of the process I just wanted to be done with the affair and accepted the settlement, while not insignificant the settlement they achieved would not cover even one hospitalization should it arise. Overall their services were competent aside from that one issue, trying to contact their offices was relatively easy and the PA did do her best to assist where she could do so.

My wife and I secured Counsel after being pushed around by the insurance company. Not only was the dispute resolved quickly but we were able to resolve our pending claim after just a few weeks. We were nervous to have to retain an attorney but could not be happier with the results. Mr. Portner did an excellent job representing us and I would recommend him to anyone seeking a pro-active attorney that will fight for you. We were able to avoid the hassle of litigation and secure a fair settlement. This firm informed us of the settlement offer, the reasoning, and weighed the pros and cons of pursuing litigation. This not only put our claim into perspective but also gave us the upper hand with the negotiations process. After resolution, they provided a detailed accounting of our settlement.

I contacted Portner and Shure after experiencing frustration dealing with medical issues/bills after I was rear ended in November 2013. The amount was not large so I wasn't sure they would be able to help me. I was wrong, not only did they resolve all the outstanding issues, the settlement that was greater than I anticipated!
Paralegal Rebecca Dean is very efficient, always kept me informed, had great recommendations and to top it off is very nice to work with.
I am extremely pleased with the results! Thank you!

Mr. Portner is by far the best attorney I've had. He was always very helpful and always responded to my questions when I had a doubt about something. His law firm helped me a lot with my personal Injury case and were always there throughout the whole process. I would definitely recommend Mr. Portner.
Posted by Sam
I had an excellent experience. My experience with other attorneys has not gone so well.
From beginning to end Mr. Portner was great. I am not sure what I would have done without him. He helped me get my car repaired. He made my case as easy as possible for me. I didn’t have to worry about anything. I was very happy with my settlement.I would recommend him to all my friends and family.

Mr. Portner was very helpful throughout the whole process of my case. He was very honest and helpful in settling my case.

Recently ran into an college acquaintance. A beautiful, funny girl. We started talking about business - as we are both small business owners who left the corporate life - and she asked about my reading list. I floundered. I think I came up with How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie and Who Says Elephants Can't Dance by Lou Gerstner. Here's the thing: I read all the time. My reading list isn't just business, certainly seldom focuses on writing and definitely has more than a smattering of science-fiction involved.
For instance, Paolo Bagucigalupi's book The Windup Girl pretty much nails where medicine and agriculture are headed. Then there is Sex at Dawn, which dovetails nicely with The Windup Girl, and presents a perspective on the history of humans before agriculture and an examination of the basic psychological and anthropological needs of human beings.
I read a little Seth Godin every morning because of his RSS feed, Godin integrates everything from Bagucigalupi, Carnegie, Gerstner, and Sex at Dawn into pithy 4-5 paragraph examinations of business and personal interactions.
Each of these books strengthens my ability to observe humans without projecting myself onto them. I'm better at business, and I'm a better storyteller. So, here are the books on my closest shelf at this moment. This is what I read:
Hokum: An anthology of African American Humore (starts with Sojourner Truth's "Ain't I a Woman" and the perspective is skewed and skewered from there)

‘I Don’t Want Women’s Participation Just for Show’
By Nang Seng Nom 2 October 2014
RANGOON — Mar Mar Cho is the coordination officer of the Women’s Organization Network of Myanmar (WON), a network providing training on women and peace, gender equality and women in leadership. She recently shared with The Irrawaddy her views of the role of women in modern Burma, a country that she says still has a long way to go on the women’s rights front.
Question: What is WON working on at the moment?
Answer: We are an advocacy group working on the advancement of women, including their role in the peace process and politics, gender equality, women’s rights and justice.
Q: What areas does WON focus on most in educating women?
A: We mainly educate on the provisions of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women [CEDAW]. The Burmese government says there is no violence or discrimination against women in Burma. But it does exist until now, and women themselves do not know that it exists. We are also educating women to better enable them to participate in politics.
Q: What difficulties does your organization face in providing leadership training to women?
A: We have been calling for the participation of women in decision-making processes and 30 percent of seats reserved for women in Parliament, and providing related training and education. As a result, women now recognize their leadership abilities and the need to participate in decision-making. Women are now encouraged to take part in ward and village administration. Yet there remains discrimination. Since we are traditionally not the breadwinner, we are rejected from taking ward/village administrator posts. We are only allowed to take lower positions.
Q: What benefits do you think leadership training for women can deliver?
A: We ourselves have received training and have then shared what we learned with others. So, many women come to recognize that they have leadership skills and are ready to take leadership positions. I believe many women will be able to take part in administration, from ward/village level to the national level in 2015. We are also preparing to contest the 2015 elections.
Q: Do you think a quota of 30 percent of Parliament’s seats for women is achievable?
A: To make it a reality, we have to speak in a single, united voice and bring it forward to the Parliament. There are lady lawmakers in Parliament now, but they are not the ones who we want to be there. What we want is women engaged in civil society, female staffers in government departments and women elected by the people.
Q: What measures are you taking to win support for a reserved bloc for women in Parliament?
A: We need to rally support for it. We are taking steps to advocate for it in Parliament and we need to do it through a campaign.
Q: How many members are there in WON?
A: We cover the entire nation. We have links with many networks. For example, WON in northern Shan State is composed of 23 networks. We are networking with most women’s organizations.
Q: Some female military representatives entered Parliament this year to replace their male counterparts. What do you think of that?
A: They are women, but from the military. It shouldn’t be that all female lawmakers are from the military. We are also providing capacity-building training for women so that women engaged in social welfare work can join the Parliament.
Q: Do you think the women planning to contest the 2015 elections have the right leadership skills for it?
A: They currently are taking charge of women’s networks. Some of them are from Karen and Shan states and Dawei [in Tenasserim Division]. We are providing relevant training to them. If necessary, we have a plan to offer intensive training. Currently, there are around 10 women members of our network who will contest the 2015 elections.
Q: What else do you want to say about women’s participation in society?
A: Apart from female staff in the government, I would like to call for the participation of women from civil society and women with leadership abilities in all decision-making processes. Women in government departments do not represent the entirety of womanhood. I also don’t want women being allowed to participate just for show. I would like to stress that harmonious and collaborative efforts are necessary for national development.

When shopping for Milledgeville Georgia car insurance, it is important to take into consideration the various factors that can impact rates. For example, age is a key factor in determining premiums. Moreover, the type of car you drive and your ZIP code will also affect rates. You should also be aware of what's required by law in Georgia, as liability coverage is mandatory.
Rates vary by ZIP code in Milledgeville
Insurance rates in Milledgeville, Georgia vary greatly, depending on a number of factors. These include age, gender, make and model of the car, driving history, and credit score. You may also be able to receive discounts based on these factors. This will help you to save money on your car insurance premiums.
Zip codes also play a role in the cost of car insurance. The lowest rates can be found in the 31061 zip code, while the highest rates can be found in the 31063 zip code. Bundling car insurance with home insurance can also help to reduce costs. In many cases, you can save an additional 7% to 28% by combining both insurance policies.
Milledgeville, Georgia drivers pay an average of $3,421 per year for car insurance. Full coverage policies, which cover liability and collision costs, can be obtained for a lower premium. For those who don't want to take out the full coverage option, you can reduce your premium by raising your deductible. However, you should remember that a higher deductible may also result in less coverage.
Georgia drivers can also lower their premiums by purchasing uninsured and underinsured motorist insurance. These coverage options help pay for the cost of an accident caused by another driver who has no insurance, or only has little insurance. However, drivers in Georgia must also purchase property damage and bodily injury coverage. Cheap car insurance is possible if you have a clean driving record, but a poor driving history may result in higher premiums.
The average car insurance rate in Milledgeville, Georgia depends on many factors. For example, the location of your car can affect your risk rating. If you live in a high-risk area, consider installing an alarm or anti-theft device to help reduce your risk. Installing these devices can help you save money on your insurance premium, as they will offset your elevated risk rating.
In Georgia, the average car insurance premium is $1,388 per year. This is a lower average than the national average. However, it is still wise to shop around to find the most affordable coverage available. If you're looking for cheap auto insurance, you should opt for low-deductible comprehensive coverage or liability only coverage.
Driver's age affects rates
There are several factors that affect car insurance rates in Milledgeville, Georgia. Gender, age, marital status, and driving record all play a role in determining car insurance rates. In general, clean driving records are associated with lower insurance rates, while driving records that are full of accidents or traffic violations often carry higher rates.
When it comes to car insurance, age affects rates more than gender. Young drivers pay much higher rates than older drivers. In fact, a 16-year-old male driver can expect to pay seventy percent more than his coworker. The type of car a driver drives can have a substantial impact on the rate he or she pays. For example, driving a Tesla can result in a higher premium than driving a Mercedes-Benz. The safety ratings of a car also play a role, as do average repair costs.
Your zip code also plays a role in determining car insurance rates. The average cost of car insurance in Milledgeville is $3,421 per year for a single driver. Despite this, car insurance rates vary considerably among different zip codes. For this reason, it is important to shop around and compare quotes from several car insurance companies before making a decision. Fortunately, you can cancel your policy at any time.
Another factor that affects your car insurance rate is your age. While Georgia only requires drivers to carry liability coverage, it is also advisable to consider adding additional coverage, such as uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Depending on your age and gender, you may have to pay higher insurance rates if you have a high risk situation.
In addition to driver's age, other factors also affect rates, including credit history. A high credit score is associated with lower premiums, while poor credit will result in a higher rate. Poor credit is a major risk factor for insurers, so it is important to shop around and get quotes from different car insurance companies. Look for discounts, too.
The most popular car insurance companies in Georgia are State Farm and Liberty Mutual. State Farm has the largest market share in Georgia, accounting for approximately 20% of the private passenger car insurance market. USAA is another top car insurance provider, and has several military bases throughout the state. Car insurance rates in Georgia vary by vehicle age, driving history, and previous claims history. You must make sure you're covered by car insurance because driving without insurance can lead to fines of up to $1,000 and possibly even jail time.
Liability coverage is required by law in Georgia
In Milledgeville, Georgia, liability insurance coverage is required by law. This coverage is designed to cover the damages that may be caused by an accident. Liability insurance is important to protect yourself against lawsuits, which could occur if you are not properly insured. Georgia follows the comparative negligence rule. Under this rule, fault is shared proportionally between drivers. This means that if two people are in an accident, their fault will be shared proportionally, but they can still recover damages.
Georgia is a fault-based state. In other words, if you cause a car accident and someone is injured, you are responsible. If you're at fault in the accident, your liability insurance will pay for the damages. Liability insurance coverage must be at least $25,000 per person or $50,000 per accident.
Liability insurance in Georgia includes bodily injury coverage and property damage coverage. The basic coverage pays for medical bills, property damage, and other costs. You can choose higher limits to provide more coverage. Liability insurance also pays for uninsured drivers. Liability insurance is required in Georgia, despite no-fault laws.
People who are injured in a car accident usually worry about the costs. They're worried about medical expenses and vehicle repair costs, and those expenses are rarely cheap. In addition, lost time at work means less money coming in to cover the expenses. It can be difficult to make ends meet without full compensation, but with a Milledgeville car accident attorney by your side, you can get the compensation you deserve.
Liability coverage is required by law in Millledgeville Georgia. Having this coverage can help you avoid potential problems with personal injury lawsuits. It can also help you maximize your financial recovery. However, it is important to obtain adequate medical treatment and ongoing treatment. This will allow you to pursue a full recovery after an accident.
Cost of renters insurance in Milledgeville
Cost of renters insurance in Milledgeville is $213 per year. It is important to have renters insurance because it protects your personal belongings and liability. Landlords often require tenants to have renters insurance. Landlord insurance only covers the actual dwelling, while renters insurance protects your personal property within the apartment.
Rates vary depending on the type of policy you choose. A more comprehensive policy is more expensive than a basic one. You should know the exact value of the items you want covered. Besides determining the value of your possessions, you should also consider the coverage amount. In general, a higher deductible will lower the cost of renters insurance. In addition, many insurers use a credit-based insurance score to determine premiums. A good credit score will save you money on renters insurance.
A standard renters insurance policy covers damages caused by fire and smoke. Water damage due to a burst pipe is also covered. A policy that covers flood damage might be beneficial for those living in a high-risk area. Flood damage is not covered by standard renters insurance, so it is important to purchase separate flood insurance.
Lemonade offers affordable renters insurance in Georgia with a simple and easy to use online experience. This insurance provider charges about $14 per month, which is nearly two-thirds of the national average. The average policy includes $20,000 worth of coverage for personal property and $100,000 in liability coverage with a $500 deductible.
Lemonade offers the cheapest renters insurance in Georgia. It costs $139 per year, which is nearly four-times less than the state average of $235 per year. State Farm and Travelers also have affordable options, with average premiums of $19 per month.

When you enquire about a Fine Art Property Photograph for your home or business we’ll have a chat about what you want and what to expect, I’ll get to know a little about you and your home. If you’re within an hour of me, I’m in Bradford in glorious Yorkshire, I’ll come and have a look at your house to see if it’s suitable for a Fine Art Portrait. I’ll show you a couple of samples of an amazing metal print so you can really imagine your own home as a large print on the wall.
If you’re not within an hour we’ll have a video call to have a chat and see if your home is suitable.
We’ll agree a date and time for me to come and photograph your home. This will have to be flexible due to the nature of our beautiful unpredictable British weather! I can work in slight drizzle but if it’s tipping it down or blowing a gale we may have to rearrange so we make sure we get the best out of your home.
The Photographic Process
On the day I will arrive at your house around an hour before sunset, with my assistant aka my wonderful husband. This gives us time to make sure everything is tidy, objects are in the most aesthetically pleasing place, we’re both happy with how your home will look and to give us a chance to set the camera up in the best place to capture the photos.
The initial photos will be taken around 30 minutes before sunset, this gives me the base images for your artwork.
The next set is taken at sunset, if we’re lucky we’ll get a beautiful sky to compliment the finished image. If the sky isn’t kind to us I can use my editing skills to improve that.
We’ll wait a little while until it gets completely dark. in winter that’s quite quick, in summer it does take a little longer. We’ll ask you to put all the lights on inside so we can capture the details inside. Once we’ve done that we’ll use our specialist lighting technique to light any personal possessions, especially the ones that are special to you so really want to be seen in the final artwork.
Once we’ve finished inside we’ll use our specialist lighting technique outside to bring out the character and personality of your home.
The final stage is to make sure that we’ve got every image that we need to be able to create your heirloom piece of art that you can pass on down the generations to remember your family home.
The Editing Process
After I’ve captured all your images, of which I may have 100 – 200 images to choose from, I edit them down to around 40-60 images depending on the complexity of the property that I’ll use in the final photograph. I’ll put them into sections of the main part of the house, the sky at sunset, the ones inside showing the lights and rooms, the light painting of the personal possessions, the light painting outside and finally any additional images that are need to complete the finished artwork.
Once I’ve selected all the files I need for the building I start layering them together to create the base image. This brings out all the detail and character of the property, often details that you wouldn’t notice.
The next stage is to bring out the details inside the house, this takes many layers. A camera can’t see as much dynamic range as your eyes can so I manually select different exposures to bring out all the rage from the brightest to the darkest.
The inside lights are then blended into the building to give the photo a balance between the lights and the building.
I use the light painting that I’ve done inside to bring out your personal possessions so you can really see the detail of them to bring back memories of those special moments.
The next stage is the outside light painting. This creates shape, interest and pools of light to draw you eyes into the image. Each individual pool of light is mixed with the property base image to give great details of the building.
When I get a great sky to photograph on the day I’ll bring out the colour, the texture and shapes to compliment your home. Sometimes I’m not lucky with the weather so I’ve taken years to build up a library of suitable skies to use. I want the sky to compliment your property so if I have to replace the sky I look at the overall photographic feeling to compliment the artwork.
Once all the layers have been put together I look at the complete Fine Art style of the photograph and use light and shade to complete the transform of the initial images into an amazing piece of artwork for your wall.
The Finished Product
Having taken so much time and creativity to produce your piece of art, your Fine Art Property Photography wall art is presented on a fantastic metal print. This is produced by fusing a photograph onto a thin panel of aluminium. This specialist printing process picks up all the detail that I’ve created inside your home, on the walls of the building, the garden and the sky, giving the photographic art a real depth with beautiful colour definition making your home really come to life.
My standard size of photographic art is the 30×20 metal print which is a fantastic size to be hung on your wall over a fireplace or sofa. There are larger sizes available to make your wall art stand out even more.

Below, let's take a look at the introduction provided by this site, hoping to help everyone. can the bus get on the bus by bus, but you have to put the cat in the cat bag, and then prepare two cat strips if it is convenient, because it may be called in the car, which affects it, affecting it, which affects it, which affects it, which affects it, which affects it. Others, but if you feed it, you will be quiet, and then try to sit in the back row. The front bus driver or the ticket seller will say that when you hear the cat, you may say that you will be quiet in the back row. a little. It should be noticed not to affect others. If necessary, soothe his emotions, prepare some food, and touch his back neck to the back. Generally, kittens are afraid to run around. This is a violation of regulations (although I feel that the violations are not good, but it should not affect others) to avoid the peak of commuting at the same time. can you take a cat backpack? Is it usually impossible to take the subway. Because the work system of each subway is different, some subways can bring cats into the inside, while there are no places.

Compared with the dog, the cats do not like to walk so much, so do not keep the cat walking when taking the cat out. Carry the cat's space cabin with you. It is convenient to carry a cat.
