Most people likely have more than 15 feet between their desktop PC and where their wireless router is located, so for this test we spread everything out. This time we more than doubled the distance to 35 feet,which put three interior walls between the wireless router and the desktop PC.
We all know that increasing the distance between the client and the router will lessen performance and that certainly proved to be true in our testing. At a distance of 35 feet with three interior walls, the Intel Wireless-N 7260 card performance dropped down to around 54-70 Mbps read speeds and 31-37 Mbps write speeds. At a distance of just 15 feet with one interior wall we were getting 65-83 Mbps read speeds and 57-60 Mbps write speeds. This is a small drop on the read speeds, but a rather large drop on the writing or uploading speeds.
The Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Card was tested again on the 5 GHz band and had 231-244 Mbps average read speeds and then 100-111 Mbps average write speeds on both 1MB and 100MB packet sizes. Before we were getting ~285 Mbps read speeds and ~157 Mbps write speeds. Both wireless cards saw a performance drop at a greater distance, but the 802.11ac card on the 5GHz band was faster at 35 feet than the 802.11n card on the 2.4GHz band at 15 fee.
If you look at the 35 foot performance of these two wireless cards we found around a 4x performance improvement for write speeds and about 4.5x for read speeds with the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 Card!
These are very significant performance increases that were achieved by switching to the Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260 card.

Livestock & Feed Bussiness Worldwide: June 2017
Upheaval in the world pork market
by Eric J. BROOKS
The world pork market has performed better than was expected. Thanks to stronger than expected demand from China and neighboring East Asian countries, top exporters exceeded the 2016 forecasts made a year ago by anywhere from several dozen to hundreds of thousands of tonnes.
At the same time, a world market once strongly dominated by North America is now having both its growth and quality standards dominated by European producers, namely Germany, Denmark and Spain. Coinciding with China and Mexico's rise into top pork importer ranks, the rising influence of European pork marks a new chapter in the pork market's evolution.
For buyers, the most important change has been the rise of China (2.3 million tonnes of 2017 imports) and Mexico (1.1 million tonnes) as top three world importers.
Along with stable Japan (1.35 million tonnes) and slower growing South Korea (0.65 million tonnes), they define the world pork market for imports.
Three million tonnes of Mexican and Chinese import demand did not even exist 17 years ago. If one must speak in generalities, it could be said that seventeen years of newly created Mexican pork import demand has been almost all supplied by America. 2 million tonnes of Chinese import demand that materialized over the past ten years has been mostly supplied by Europe, with Canada and Brazil enjoying smaller but expanding volumes.
Growing Asian and Mexican markets coincide with the changing fortunes of top world pork exporters. In chapter one spanning the mid-1990s through to the mid-2000s, Canadian pork exports leveraged a highly undervalued Canadian dollar. Rising from 0.37 million tonnes in 1995 to 1.08 million tonnes in 2005, Canada exported more pork than any other nation during this time.
Although the EU collectively exported more pork even at this time, unlike North American producers, its exports were flat. Canada, America and Brazil took advantage of booming world market demand.
The next chapter took place from the early to late 2000s, when a rising Canadian dollar stopped its pork export growth. Even when the dollar returned to lower levels during our current decade, Canadian pork was unable to expand its presence on the world market. In short, Canada's inability to generate sufficiently profitable swine farming returns resulted in stagnant Canadian inventories.
As Canada's export surge levelled out, the years from 2003 through 2012 saw US pork exports roughly triple, from 0.78 million tonnes to 2.4 million tonnes. Even so, except during our current 2017 marketing year, US pork exports levelled out in the 2.3 to 2.4 million tonne range thereafter, becoming highly dependent on just one export market during this time.
Thereafter, America's PEDv epidemic coincided with the Euro's devaluation and stagnant European pork consumption. Around this time, Russia's embargo on western meat prompted it to substitute several hundred thousand tonnes of Brazilian pork in place of supplies previously imported from Europe.

A day at the beach is something many people look forward to about summer. It’s a great way to spend time together as a family for a few hours or several days. But, like many things, there can be a “down” side to spending time at the beach if you end up with a sunburn, jellyfish sting, water-born illness, or some other not-so-fun souvenir of your time. Being safe can prevent injuries and drowning.

Release Date: October 21, 2017
Genre: Progressive Blues – Rock
Mike MacKenzie, a dynamic guitarist, singer and songwriter based out of Calgary, Alberta, is back with the independent release of Solstice, the follow-up to his 2014 debut album, Natural Causes.
With the creation of ten new original tracks, MacKenzie called upon some local musicians from Calgary to lend their musical talents to create some great tunes. His band, The Mike MacKenzie Band, features Steven Fletcher (keys), Kurtis Downs (guitar), Tom Hart (bass) and James Wise (drums).
The album begins with a solo acoustic guitar playing the central riff of the song, “Solar Winds”. This was quickly accompanied by drums, electric guitar and an organ to polish off the melody.
MacKenzie adds some variety to his album with tracks such as “Sylvan” and “Between Words” that give more of a funky feel. To top this off, he adds an organ solo in “Sylvan”, allowing the guitar to take the back seat for a while.
“Turquoise” is yet another surprise on the album. No vocals are heard on this track, just a creative mix of melodies and harmonies staying true to his funky, progressive rock vibes. It was definitely a creative touch to add to the album.
The album finishes with “Birds of Prey”, another track with an interesting musical arrangement yet no vocals, which starts off as an upbeat, barn burner type of song before suddenly transitioning into a slower, smooth, soulful sound. From this, it builds momentum and eventually winds back down to a simple guitar section to close.
The album is very guitar focused, which is no surprise given that fact that MacKenzie’s musical experience is sculpted by teaching guitar and years of experimenting with his own writing/recording techniques. He has definitely put his experimenting and creativity to use throughout the album.
With his variety of riffs and melodies, creative placements of instruments, and the blend of blue rock with progressive rock, lead breaks and funky vibes to generate an eclectic arrangement of sounds, MacKenzie leaves you with an adventure that you definitely don’t want to miss.
Hey! My name is Melissa. I’m a Special Education Teacher from Newfoundland. Music has always played an important role in my life. Growing up I would spend countless hours listening to the Top 40 Countdown on the radio to record a song I liked to cassette. Then it was the hassle of carrying around a Discman and many CDs because you definitely wanted a variety. Gotta love the nineties! However, it wasn’t until volunteering for the ECMAs in 2004 that I realized that there was a whole other world of music that I was missing out on and I haven’t looked back.

Conference organising company iQuest contacted me last year to ask me to deliver a keynote presentation at their Green IT Summit.
The event took place in Dublin yesterday and my keynote talk entitled “Green IT – driving efficiency, sustainability and enabling efficient working practices” is above.
The organisers prudently decided that they didn’t want to take the risk of any of their international speakers not making it to the event because of the ashcloud. This would have left them with a hole in the schedule at the last minute so they contracted the services of OnlineMeetingRooms and three of the presenters were able to present to the audience in Dublin, over an online video connection, without having to travel!
The title I was asked to present on was quite broad and I had 30 minutes to try cover it all so I had to go at quite a clip but the feedback has been extremely positive so it seemed to work out very well.
1E entered the power management space about 10 years ago when they wrote NightWatchman. NightWatchman is a PC power management application which aims to reduce the energy wasted by computers not being turned off at the end of the working day.
They were well ahead of the market (remember, they started 10 years ago, long before there was any power management built into the operating system) and, in fact, they had a hard time selling NightWatchman until about three years ago.
NightWatchman is now deployed on 4 million PCs worldwide savingcustomers US $360 million in energy costs and preventing 3 million tons of CO2 emissions, according to 1E.
As an interesting aside, the name NightWatchman came from the fact that the software was originally written for a company who had a security guard going around at night turning off computers and monitors! In fact, in the first seven years it was sold as a security and patching tool (it would allow companies to shut off computers in the evening and schedule a window in the middle of the night during which the computers would power up to download any security updates and patches which had been released).
It is impossible to monitor and report on the energy used by your PC estate (and therefore the cost and CO2 emissions this causes) using only the built-in tools that come with Windows. Because of the lack of built-in monitoring of energy usage, organizations are unaware of the lack of effectiveness of Windows sleep timers.
Windows power schemes should therefore not be used as the mechanism for reliable overnight and weekend energy saving for PCs.
1E NightWatchman software saves files and closes applications and shuts down or places into sleep mode computers in the Microsoft Windows environment while preventing data loss and application errors. It also allows computers to be turned off from a central location, at a specified time, while providing extensive reports for management.
NightWatchman works with SMSWakeUp, which repowers computers in synchronization with Microsoft SMS. Administrators can boot computers from a centralized command so they can deploy security patches or new applications during off-hours.
By deploying 1E’s NightWatchman and SMSWakeUp applications to its 50,000 client computers, Dell expects to realize up to a 40 percent reduction in computer-related energy costs, which could translate into US$1.8 million in savings annually.
[AT&T] is launching the NightWatchman® PC power management solution from 1E on 310,000 desktop computers across its domestic operations to help improve energy efficiency. Powering down corporate PCs during non-work hours is expected to save AT&T more than 135 million kilowatt hours of electricity a year and eliminate 123,941 tons of carbon dioxide emissions — equivalent to the electricity required to power 14,892 homes.
1E also have a server version of their NightWatchman software – this program identifies under-utilised servers, allowing them to be either re-deployed or decommissioned – fewer servers means less energy consumed by server sprawl. NightWatchman Server also has an energy management component built-in which has the added benefit of reducing heat from servers and therefore the air conditioning load in data centers required to cool the servers.
All of this means less energy costs and fewer CO2 emissions for companies. Go 1E!

China’s Soviet-Style Suburbia Heralds Environmental PainBloomberg News
Take away the haze of air pollution and Waterfront Corso Mansions near Tianjin might seem like an urban idyll for China’s growing population of city dwellers.
Inside a gated compound, residential towers and houses overlook a lake and manicured gardens. What’s missing from the neighborhood are shops and amenities, turning the block and hundreds like it in the suburb of Meijiang into a giant dormitory for Tianjin, 40 minutes away by car.
“There’s no hospital nearby, no hair salon, hardly any restaurants,” said Wang Bo, 62, who lives with his daughter’s family in the complex and ferries his wife to work each day. “I have to drive 20 minutes just to buy vegetables.”
This is one of China’s superblocks, developments that are storing up a social, energy and environmental crisis by forcing millions of new urban middle-class residents to drive everywhere. As China’s ruling Communist Party convenes this week to debate an economic blueprint for the future, the Soviet-inspired urban plan pits municipal governments that rely on the land sales for a fifth of their revenue against Premier Li Keqiang, who is trying to balance urbanization with efforts to clean up the environment.
What the U.S. did in the 1950s with 160 million people, China is doing now with more than a billion -- moving to suburbia. Unlike the U.S. postwar sprawl, which mixed houses with schools, supermarkets and diners, the new Chinese commuters have to drive back to the city, or even across town for basic services, boosting energy consumption and emissions that have made the nation’s cities some of the most polluted in the world.
China has shifted more than 300 million people into cities since 1995 -- about twice the population of Russia -- and Premier Li Keqiang must find a way to accommodate almost as many again from the countryside without further wrecking the environment and causing the nation’s fuel bill to soar. China’s metropolitan dwellers, already one tenth of the world’s population, use three times more energy than their countryside peers, according to the World Bank.
“If China doesn’t do the right thing now it will be locked into an inefficient infrastructure that leads to more congestion and more pollution,” said Shobhakar Dhakal, former executive director of the Global Carbon Project, an international scientific program hosted by the National Institute for Environmental Studies in Japan. “There’s an urgent need for the government to provide incentives for urban growth to follow a more efficient path.”
With China’s cities set to swallow another 276 million people by 2030, the nation needs a new strategy for municipal planning that brings residential and other land uses closer together with efficient public transport, said Peter Calthorpe, founder of Berkeley-based urban design firm Calthorpe Associates and author of “Urbanism in the Age of Climate Change.”
Under the superblock model, municipal authorities typically build four- to eight-lane highways to remote suburbs where they can sell building rights to developers on slabs of land about 500 meters square. The construction companies then erect apartment towers on the block separated from the rest of the community by fences and security guards.
Housing, industry and shopping districts are often zoned for different parts of the city, making long commutes the norm.
Even so, the rapid expansion of cities has helped drive average annual economic growth of 10.5 percent over the past decade, leading to better road and rail systems and increasing the incomes of millions.
“In the past 30 years China’s urbanization has transformed the landscape, upgraded public infrastructure and improved the quality of urban lives,” said Chang Jian, China economist at Barclays Plc in Hong Kong who previously worked for the World Bank. “There are problems, of course. Integrating hundreds of millions more migrant workers will be a challenge.”
The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the Tianjin Planning Bureau didn’t respond to faxed requests for comment.
The superblock system has also boosted revenue for local governments who can sell rights for otherwise marginal land faster, at higher prices and with lower planning and infrastructure costs than for small parcels.
Municipal authorities in China, with a combined debt of more than 10 trillion yuan ($1.6 trillion), get about 21 percent of their revenue from land sales, according to Goldman Sachs Group Inc. That reliance on the property market for revenue “has become a chronic problem,” wrote Citigroup Inc. Hong Kong-based analysts Oscar Choi and Marco Sze in a Nov. 5 research note.
As many as 90 percent of China’s cities are built this way, said He Dongquan, director of the China Sustainable Cities Program in Beijing at the Energy Foundation, a San Francisco-based non-profit organization that promotes clean energy.
“The question is: Do the mid-size, second- and third-tier cities build their way into the same dilemma as Beijing and Shanghai or do they take a better path,” said Calthorpe. “If they don’t, the environmental burden will be huge. You don’t have to wait for the catastrophe: It’s already here.”
Energy use and carbon emissions from transportation will probably triple to 30 percent of the nation’s total by 2030, according to He.
Policies that promote the use of public transport in more compact and integrated communities could halve fuel consumption and carbon emissions from transport by 2030, said He. Last year, China’s carbon emissions grew by 300 million tons, more than any other country and about a quarter of the global increase.
Superblocks are “the standard for virtually all new housing” in China, said a report last year by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Center for Advanced Urbanism.
Along the four-lane avenue to Meijiang from Tianjin, the towers of dozens of those blocks loom out of the haze. Two workers eating an early lunch crouch on the pavement next to the road, which is almost deserted of cars in the late morning. Near Bo’s complex, half a dozen light green taxis wait on a corner, their drivers chatting and smoking. A 10-minute walk down the road finds not a single shop or restaurant.
Bo, who retired two years ago, drives about 40 minutes morning and night to take his wife to and from work at the Tianjin Medical Center. Even his granddaughter has to be driven to kindergarten.
Tianjin’s 13.5 million people live in a city that is among China’s 10 most polluted, according to the environment ministry.
“It’s really terrible,” said Lin Zhixin, 30, who lives in the same complex as Bo with her Korean husband and daughter, on a day when air pollution was five times the level the World Health Organization deems safe. “When I took my child to the hospital recently with a cough there were many other children there with the same problem. The doctor said pollution was partly to blame.”
Tianjin’s growth is being replicated across the nation’s cities. China’s total urban area is set to expand by 220,000 square kilometers -- enough to blanket Great Britain with metropolises -- by 2030, from a total of 80,000 square kilometers in 2000, says Karen Seto, a professor at the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut.
More than half of that expansion is probably yet to happen, said Seto, who uses satellite images, rates of metropolitan population growth and the historical relationship between income and urban land area to estimate increases.
At stake is whether China’s carbon dioxide emissions leap four times to match U.S. per capita output or peak about two thirds lower at levels on par with France, which may enable cuts by other nations to cap global greenhouse gas emissions, wrote Harvard University economics professor Edward Glaeser in his 2011 book “Triumph of the City.”
Building compact cities around mass transit systems that balance commercial and residential areas would slash reliance on cars, preventing as much as 800 million tons of carbon dioxide in total from spewing into the atmosphere by 2030, more than emitted by Germany in 2011, Energy Foundation’s He estimates.
Poor planning threatens to reduce any gains China might make by reducing pollution from traditional industries. China’s cities eject more than 70 percent of the nation’s energy-related carbon emissions, about 80 percent of that from coal-fired power generation and industry.
As more people move from the country and increase energy use, the demand for power is set to climb. China’s coal-fired generating capacity will jump about 78 percent in the decade ending 2020, according to a forecast by China Development Bank.
“Because per capita energy use in cities is high and rising and the rate of urbanization is rapid, it’s inevitable that urban areas will increasingly determine the path of China’s CO2 emissions,” said Dhakal, associate professor at the Asian Institute of Technology’s School of Environment, Resources and Development in Bangkok, Thailand.
Spurred by the rising wealth and the current city design, China is putting about 20 million more cars on the roads each year. As much as 30 percent of PM2.5, the fine particles that pose the greatest health risk, is caused by transportation.
Superblock neighborhoods in Jinan, capital of Shandong province, consume two to three times more energy than other neighborhoods in the city mainly because they cause more trips by car, according to MIT’s Dennis Frenchman and Christopher Zegras.
China’s “pointlessly wide roads and squares” are rooted in Soviet-style city planning intended to “project Communist Party Power,” wrote Tom Miller in “China’s Urban Billion: The Story Behind the Biggest Migration in Human History.”
“The typical Chinese city is gray, ugly and congested,” wrote Miller. “The roads are jammed, the air filthy, the streets often unwalkable.”
Premier Li is trying to change that. China will adopt a “new type of urbanization” that puts the people at its “heart” and incorporates ideas of green and efficient growth, he said in March at a press conference in Beijing. The World Bank and the State Council’s Development Research Center are working on a report focused on urbanization that Li requested. It is scheduled for publication in December.
“Some of our priorities are building dense cities that keep people living close to where they work with better transport systems,” World Bank president Jim Yong Kim said at a briefing in Beijing in September. “If China breathes easier, the world will breathe easier, too.”
Signs of change include experiments with new metropolitan designs in places including Kunming, capital of southwestern Yunnan province.
When its new district of Chenggong became known as a so-called “ghost city” because its streets remained deserted years after completion, the local government turned to the Energy Foundation and Calthorpe to help it develop another part of the city. Four years later, that new suburb is under construction on 8.6 square kilometers of land, using “human-scale streets” with mass transit, bus stations and green spaces every 300 meters, said Calthorpe. Schools, hospitals, restaurants and jobs will all be available within compact districts.
In Beijing, some infill redevelopments have begun to create more livable areas including the Nanluoguxiang and Qianmen areas, said Fang Yiping, assistant professor at the PSU-China Innovations in Urbanization Program at Portland State University in Portland, Oregon.
“They both attempted to create more human-scale urban spaces, and both are increasingly well received by the public,” said Fang.
Li Keqiang and his fellow Communist leaders have the opportunity of shifting the nation’s policy priorities at the conclave, known as a plenum, held in Beijing on Nov. 9-12.
A major obstacle to change is the local-government financing system that favors development of “excessive quantities of scattered urban land, at low densities, exceeding the level justified by demand,” wrote World Bank staffers Zhi Liu and Andrew Salzberg in a report last year.
City mayors and other senior officials are in office for three to five years and so have little incentive to try innovative approaches, said Seto.
“Once basic infrastructure is set in place it’s very difficult to change the form of the city,” she said. “There are still a lot of cities to be built. But they need pretty quickly to change what they are doing.”

What kind of decal is given in a RG kit?
Stickers are included. There are some water slide sets available as well as separate purchases.
The RG decals are really thin and not much thicker than water slide. See the result on my GP-01Fb thread.

Just over a week ago LA-massive Mad Decent dropped a five-flush remix pack of Elliphant‘s “Only Getting Younger feat. Skrillex” on their Soundcloud and like some of the best things in life that shit is free.99! Predictably all of the tracks are heavy hitters, ranging from big-room horn-heavy bounce vibes from TJR and Brazzabelle to the moombahton-tempo squaks of the Milo & Otis remix, to the sped-up DnB halftime version from DJ Vice & Justyle, to my personal favorite sort of experimental melodic trap/beats version from NGTMRE and Imanos. Regardless of what your style or taste is, this is a classic encompassing Mad Decent Party Pack that not only showcases a festival-ready range of styles but also a great look at some of LA’s biggest and baddest upcoming talents.
You can preview the whole pack below and download them over on the Mad Decent Soundcloud.
This is magic. One of the best sets I’ve heard in a while, and I categorically dislike DJ sets. Biggups Mija. Skrillex is the man. Listen.

Chris White (aka Whiiite) has cultivated his budding career right here Los Angeles, becoming an influential producer/DJ and impresario that helped build the local dance scene into what it is today. With this Whiiite project, he takes his career to new heights with a unique superhero graphic novel series that synchs up with each of his EPs to tell the epic story of Whiiite, his origin and powers, and the villains he faces – with each character having their own sound. From a genre standpoint, he boasts a deep catalog of heavy-hitting trap, electro-house, techno, and more that features his distinctive studio touch. As a DJ, he’s known for his high-energy sets that are as eclectic as they are captivating, and this guest mix is a prime example of that.
The deeper vibes are catching on to the heavy hitters. First Jack Beats “Beatbox”, Skrillex’s “F That” and now Zeds Dead has teamed up with Brooklyn indie-throb Twin Shadow. The product is hauntingly soulful – a jackin house groove carried by a devilish deep bassline.

Oust Pelosi from the presidential succession line
The top order of business when the House of Representatives returns from recess on Oct. 15 is certain to be the impeachment inquiry into the conduct of President Donald Trump. Here's something the lawmakers should take care of first: change the presidential line of succession to remove the speaker of the House and the president pro tempore of the Senate.
The U.S. Constitution specifies the vice president takes over if a president leaves office. After that, presidential succession is up to Congress, which has changed the procedure several times throughout U.S. history. There are two strong reasons to change the law again now: It's the best way for the Democrats to handle impeachment, and it's best for the nation.
With Trump claiming the constitutional process of impeachment amounts to a "coup," Democrats should make it clear they have no intention of overturning the 2016 election by installing a Democrat in the White House. That's important because Speaker Nancy Pelosi is second in line to replace Trump under current law, behind Vice President Mike Pence.
A Republican wouldn't have to be paranoid to imagine the Democrats trying to maneuver past Pence, especially now that Pence's name has come up as a possible character in the drama at the heart of the impeachment inquiry — the effort to press the president of Ukraine to dig up dirt on Trump's leading Democratic rival, former Vice President Joe Biden. As long as Pelosi remains in the line of succession and control of the White House is even potentially at stake, Republicans will have an incentive to fight back against a legitimate investigation of Pence's potential role in the Ukraine scandal.
If Trump is impeached by the House and removed by the Senate, Pence will become president and nominate a new vice president. That's the procedure set forth by the 25th Amendment and used twice since its ratification in 1965.
Removing Pelosi and the third-in-line official, Senate President Pro Tem Charles Grassley, from having any chance of becoming president would be a worthwhile gesture for Democrats to make, indicating that they accept the reality that a Republican will be president until January 2021, no matter what happens.
It's the right thing to do from a good-government perspective. It's always been a mistake to insert members of Congress into the presidential line of succession, contrary to the structure of the constitutional system, which separates legislative from executive institutions and forces them to share powers.
The deficiencies in the Constitution were addressed by the 12th Amendment, which made sure that the president and vice president would be elected as a linked ticket. They were further fixed by the 25th Amendment, which ended ambiguity about the vice president becoming president in the case of a vacancy and arranged for filling any vacancy in the vice presidency. Unfortunately, the 1792 law inserting two members of Congress into the line of succession (later removed and then restored in 1947 to elevate the House speaker) restored a bit of that ambiguity. It should be removed.
Even with members of Congress removed from the line of succession, there's one more step needed to get the system right. Under current law, 15 cabinet officers follow the Senate president pro tem, from the secretary of state at the top of the list to the secretary of homeland security at the bottom.
That's not appropriate in a world of possible terrorist mayhem and nuclear conflagration. As the Continuity in Government Commission recommended after the terrorist 9/11 attacks, only the four most important cabinet posts should be included. After that, the president should designate, and Congress confirm, a handful of distinguished individuals.
But setting that up would require careful drafting and serious debate. By contrast, eliminating Congress from the line of succession could be done quickly.

However, thanks to a tweet by former ACS president Catherine Hunt, I ran across a NSF workshop summary on graduate school in chemistry that was very clear about White House priorities towards our favorite issues. From the director of the Division of Chemistry at NSF, Matthew Platz:
The Obama Administration has been very interested in science, Platz observed, and has clear ideas about what it wants to support. As a result, presidential priorities have been increasing as a proportion of the budget (Figure 2-4). Chemistry has not played a large role in these presidential priorities, though NSF’s Division of Chemistry has been able to keep its core funding relatively stable, largely by reducing instrumentation costs.
However, if the chemical sciences community wants federal funding for chemistry to increase, it must demonstrate how its proposals contribute to the administration’s priorities. How can it help to create a workforce that is equipped to take on the challenges of the new century? How can it help create the skills in U.S. workers that will lead companies to locate their jobs here rather than in another country?
The most important goal of the workshop, Platz said, must be how the chemical sciences can preserve and enhance quality with less money. “If we can come up with some strategies to do that, this workshop, in my opinion, will be a great success.” He challenged the workshop participants to devise experiments in chemistry graduate education that can inspire the field and attract support. In particular, the goal should not be to play a zero-sum game but to find new money to fund experiments at five to ten universities in addition to the core funding for chemistry.
“Change has already come,” Platz concluded. “We can view this as an opportunity for our community and for the United States, or we can passively react to change and have it imposed on us.”From a political science perspective, what do I see in that verbiage? I see that funding academic chemistry is not an especially high Obama Administration priority, and NSF is attempting to triage the process and not allow chemistry to be affected significantly by spreading some of the pain around. I see that the President is working with the constraints that Congress has imposed through its budgetary process; I cannot imagine that the Republican-controlled House or the Democratic-controlled Senate have academic chemistry as a priority either.
I wonder if academic chemistry sees itself as part of creating an educated workforce and contributing "on-shoring" jobs. I hope so, but I am somewhat skeptical of the academic chemistry community's ability to accomplish that goal.

People of Abandoned Character by Clare Whitfield. (2020).
**3.5 out of 5 stars**
London, 1888. Susannah rushes into marriage to a young and wealthy surgeon. After a passionate honeymoon she returns with her new husband. But then everything changes quickly. Thomas’s behaviour becomes increasingly volatile and violent, he stays out all night and returns home bloodied and full of secrets. Lonely and frustrated, Susannah starts following the gruesome reports of a series of murders in Whitechapel. Every time Thomas is out late, another victim is found dead. Is it coincidence? Or is he the man they call Jack the Ripper?
I couldn’t help but be intrigued by this synopsis; could you even imagine if you thought your spouse was a serial killer?! Which of course, when you think about it logically, would actually occur in reality. Susannah was an odd lead if I’m being honest: she was intelligent but naive, likeable at times but also off-putting personality wise, she felt like an unreliable narrator. Thomas was clearly unwell mentally but was he Jack the Ripper…you’ll have to read the book to find out! I think I felt like the last quarter was a bit rushed in comparison to the rest of the novel, the tone just felt a bit different and everything changed very quickly.
Overall: I did enjoy it, I just didn’t love it. It’s definitely a clever and unique story and worth a read if you like historical fiction and/or murder crime stories.

A new software update has been published by the Bitcoin Core open-source development community.
Released on Saturday, version 0.14.1 largely builds on the group’s March 0.14.0 release, incorporating a series of fixes to bugs and other tweaks to the code. Bitcoin Core is the standard software for bitcoin, though it has faced new pressure from alternative implementations of late.
As such, one notable inclusion in the release focuses on Segregated Witness, the scaling upgrade debuted in late 2015 at the Scaling Bitcoin conference in Hong Kong, and that has provoked a now months-long debate over network development.
The update to ‘getblocktemplate’, or the mining protocol that underlies the bitcoin network, effectively enables those operating hardware needed to secure the blockchain to upgrade to 0.14.1 without having to explicitly opt in to SegWit.
As Core maintainer Wladimir van der Laan wrote in a release statement, the change enables miners who aren’t running SegWit-compatible software to keep operating normally if the upgrade is adopted network-wide.
Van der Laan went on to explain:
“In this version, it now supports non-segwit clients even after activation, by removing all segwit transactions from the returned block template. This allows non-segwit miners to continue functioning correctly even after segwit has activated.”
The release also comes at a time when the litecoin network, the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by volume, is on the verge of implementing the SegWit code upgrade.

Although we are presenting this idea as a short, it may end up providing the foundation for you to go long instead. The reason is because if the S&P has another 20% to drop, you may be thinking why don’t I start to dollar cost average into stocks? So depending on your time frame, you may take the other side of this idea.
Many recent articles in the financial press have been written around the common question, “is it time to buy equities?”
In our opinion, we lack sufficient clarity on macroeconomic developments as well as the Fed’s expected course of action, and that the probability of a V-shaped recovery is low. Over the past decade or so, investors have become conditioned to simply “buy the dip”, but we believe that this year is different. It hasn’t been about what is already “priced in”, but about the regime change in monetary policy and the end of free money and the artificial repression of interest rates.
Donald Rumsfeld was notorious for his “known knowns and known unknowns” and as we analyze equity markets, we couldn’t agree more. We know that inflation has reached a 40-year high, and we know that the Fed is behind the curve but determined to contain it. What we don’t know is how far the Fed is willing to go and what they are willing to break in order to get there.
We strongly believe that current earnings estimates and P/E ratios remain too high, and the market still has downside risk. However, we also recognize that no one has a crystal ball, and that “they never ring a bell at the bottom.”
We have analyzed decades of S&P 500 returns, earnings, and P/E multiple data that lead us to believe the equity market still has a way to go before reaching “the bottom”.
Earnings Estimates are Too High
The impact of higher interest rates, inflation, and slowing global growth will increasingly feed into corporate earnings. At the beginning of the Q3 earnings season, 2022 consensus estimates for the S&P 500 are $223 and $242 for 2023, representing 8% expected growth. We remain skeptical of the Fed’s ability to engineer a soft landing for the U.S. economy, which makes 8% growth seem too high. We expect that earnings will be guided down through Q3 and Q4 earnings seasons. The unknown is by how much?
Peak-to-trough earnings revisions in previous pull backs range from -12% (Brexit) to -56% (GFC), with the dot.com bubble at -31%. Even if we assume a mild recession (earnings -10%), the 2023 estimate should be closer to ~$215, and a hard landing scenario would result in earnings closer to ~$200 (-20%).
What’s an Appropriate Price / Earnings Multiple in This Environment?
The P/E on the S&P 500 hit 23.0x in March 2021 after trading for nearly a decade above the long-term average (17.8x). Recent elevated P/E’s were skewed higher by the Fed’s suppression of interest rates and the impact of mega-tech multiples. JP Morgan recently calculated the top 10 S&P 500 equities trade at 24.7x and the remaining stocks in the index at 14.6x. As interest rates rise, growth slows, and investors find other attractive alternatives to equities, we believe the S&P 500 P/E could easily remain below its long-term average P/E multiple.
For context, in bear markets back to 1982, the S&P 500 bottoms at an average P/E of 13.2x
Have We Reached the Bottom?
As of Tuesday (10/24) the S&P 500 is -19% YTD, but the average of peak-to-trough pullbacks going back to the 1940s is -30%. We try to assess how the current environment compares to historical ones. For example, the 1980-1981 period saw a spike in interest rates while the 1999-2001 period was a valuation reset and growth slowdown in the aftermath of the tech bubble bursting. Today’s environment is unique, but if we use these periods as guideposts, there could be an additional 10% - 25% downside from here.
Market Bottoms are a Process, not an Event
Despite the abrupt sell-off and rebound that occurred in March-April 2020, historically market bottoms are a process, not an event. It takes time for investor expectations to reset around earnings, valuations, and expected returns. We recognize the potential for sharp bear market rallies and increased volatility as more of the “unknowns” around inflation, interest rates, earnings, and economic growth become “knowns”, and we believe that these sharp rallies should be used for selling or lightening up until the markets get to a reasonable historical multiple.
Bear markets are merely a part of the process and they can be extremely unpleasant. It is incredibly difficult to pick bottoms to try to time the market. For example, an investor fortunate enough to have bought the market at the absolute low during the Great Financial Crisis (March 2009) would have enjoyed a 30% IRR for the next three years. But even an investor who implemented a year-long systematic dollar-cost-averaging strategy (see chart below depicting quarterly purchases beginning in August 2008) who began when the market was 25% off its high and bought both before and after the low, would have achieved an IRR of 17%.
What Does All This Mean?
With the S&P 500 hovering around 3,800, it is trading at 15.8x the current 2023 consensus earnings estimate. However, if we assume 2023 earnings fall to ~$215, the P/E multiple would increase to 17.7x – about in line with the long-term average. Given interest rates have exploded higher and a variety of macro headwinds remain, we think ~15x-16x is a more reasonable P/E (but still above the low of 14.2x in March 2020). Applying that P/E to our lowered earnings forecast, creates a range of ~3,200 - ~3,600. However, if the economic scenario worsens into a more severe recession, then $200 in earnings and ~3,000 level for the S&P 500 is possible.
The scenario analysis below shows where the S&P 500 can trade given different levels of earnings and P/E ratios.

Recent news regarding the behavior of Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger's in a Georgia nightclub is not reflecting very well on him. As more information is coming out it appears that some type of "contact" occurred and according to sources, the young lady involved had a bump on her head, which Roethlisberger supposedly told authorities was the result of a accidental fall. As this affair plays out and the local news around Pittsburgh provides more details Ben is looking more guilty by the minute.
If true it would be just another example in the long line of pro-athletes displaying less than stellar, or even criminal behavior. The problem with many of these folks is that they are spoiled beyond belief and develop a sense of entitlement that fuels their already bloated egos. It's hard to get a bead on Roethlisberger because for every story saying what good things he has done, there is one that talks about the opposite. Some say he is rude, arrogant and has on occasion, walked out on bar tabs and even that the $102 million dollar QB expects free food and drink when he goes out. In other words he is trying to live off his celebrity. Others point out he has given to charity and has established positive connections within the community. As of this writing Ben has not been charged and Steeler fans everywhere are hoping that his innocence will be proven. Sadly, regardless of how this plays out in the long run, Roethlisberger's reputation is permanently damaged since this is now the second allegation of inappropriate sexual behavior logged against him. As a fan I am hopeful that he is innocent but as a father I am hopeful that if he is proven guilty, he will pay the appropriate price for his poor behavior. Unfortunately, this kind of crappy behavior is all too common among celebrities. Perhaps it is we who must bear some of the blame for this for elevating these mere mortals to a kind of god-like status when it is not deserved. There are too many examples of these folks becoming role models for many in our society. Toss in the many entertainers and politicians who have disgraced themselves recently and we should see a pattern of this poor behavior that should be condemned and not accepted. These kind of people are NOT worthy of our adoration or respect and certainly should not be anyone's role model.

Read this tip to make your life smarter, better, faster and wiser. LifeTips is the place to go when you need to know about Memory Enhancement and other Vitamin topics.
Folic acid is another B-complex vitamin that is extremely helpful in memory loss. As in several other vitamins for memory, folic acid can be found in green vegetables like peas, broccoli, lettuce, and asparagus, along with beans, whole grains, and orange juice. In addition, many breads and pastas are enriched with folic acid.
Studies show that use of folic acid for a prolonged period, especially in those already showing symptoms of memory loss, help retain memory and information processing capabilities. So, if you're searching for vitamins for memory, look for vitamins that contain folic acid as part of their ingredients, and combine folic acid with other B-complex vitamins, as well.

Top 10 Natural Supplements For Dogs
We all want our precious pooches to be as healthy as they can be. Adding supplements to your dog’s diet can be extremely beneficial to their health. Some supplements are excellent for treating particular problems, whereas others are generally conducive to wellbeing. It’s always a good idea to consult your veterinarian before adding a new supplement into your dog’s diet, so you can be sure about dosage and any potential issues.
There’s some controversy surrounding garlic, but it’s generally considered to be entirely safe in small doses. Garlic has an excellent range of health benefits including fighting infection, boosting the immune system, reducing cholesterol, improving liver function, and repelling fleas and ticks.

Fish oil is among the most popular supplements for dogs. There’s some suggestion that it may aid in the prevention of cardiovascular disease, but this is unclear. However, probably the main benefit is improved skin and coat health. It’s known to help with skin-related allergies and irritations. (Photo credit: Kritchanut/Shutterstock)
This clever little herb improves canine liver function. Milk thistle reduces inflammation and helps to prevent disease in the liver. Although not much research has been carried out to support this claim in canines, the active ingredient in milk thistle is a compound called silymarin, which is known to have a positive effect on the liver and kidneys.

Boswellia has anti-inflammatory properties, which means that it can help dogs who suffer from conditions caused by or linked to inflammation. These include osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease. (Photo credit: Scott Zona/Wikimedia)
If fed regularly to your dog, coconut oil can have a range of health benefits. It’s great for general skin health and can help skin conditions such as allergies, eczema and contact dermatitis, and itchy skin. It’s also good for digestion and may boost the immune system.

Apple Cider Vinegar
You might be surprised by how many uses there are for apple cider vinegar. While you can mix it in with your dog’s food, it’s often given diluted in water or sometimes even used topically. It’s said to help with problems such as tear stains, urinary issues and fleas. (Photo credit: Phongnguyen1410/Wikimedia)
In supplemental form, lavender can help with digestive issues, travel sickness and can calm dogs. It can also be used topically, in oil form, to help with hot spots and cracked paws. (Photo credit: Riley Huntley/Wikimedia)
Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric. While you can feed your dog food-grade turmeric, it’s generally best to look for a concentrated curcumin supplement designed for canines. Consider introducing turmeric to both yours and your dog’s diet! Curcumin is another anti-inflammatory, which means it’s good for joint health and certain digestive issues. It may also have some anti-cancer properties, though these haven’t been fully substantiated. (Photo credit: BroviPL/Wikimedia)
Full of B vitamins and omega fatty acids, brewer’s yeast is generally healthy for your dog. It’s known to help with skin complaints and to generally improve the condition of your dog’s skin and coat. Some also claim that it can help to repel biting insects. (Photo credit: Priority Health)
Fiber supplements are extremely useful for dogs who have digestive issues such as irritable bowel syndrome, diarrhea and chronic constipation. You’ll find various kinds of natural fiber supplements on the market, so it’s best to ask your vet which is the best kind for your dog’s particular problems. (Photo credit: Fredde 99/Wikimedia)
