1991, PG-13, 120 min. Directed by Maria Novaro. Starring Maria Rojo, Carmen Salinas, Blanca Guerra, Tito Vasconcelos, Victor Carpinteiro.
REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Fri., Jan. 29, 1993
In this dreamy yet focused Mexican feature, a woman leaves her home and her family in Mexico City to embark on a romantic quest in Veracruz only to lose sight of the original subject of her search and, in the process, find something more precious -- her self. The danzón is a popular Mexican ballroom dance, a kind of sensual but precise box step that came to the continent from the Caribbean islands and in which the man and the woman enact a stylized seduction. Julia (Rojo) has been regularly meeting her danzón partner Carmelo every week at the Colonia dancehall in Mexico City. Together they are a prize-winning couple though their relationship does not extend beyond the dance floor. One night Carmelo stops coming and Julia begins to unravel. By occupation Julia is a telephone operator and mother of a teenage daughter. When she hears someone say it's possible that Carmelo may have skipped town for Veracruz, Julia packs her bag and is on the next train to search for this man about whom she knows virtually nothing. Her doomed quest is like an enactment of the yearning lyrics of all the songs that drench Danzón's soundtrack. Once in Veracruz, she discovers a whole new bustling city and makes fast friends with prostitutes, unwed mothers, a curious hotel owner and a couple of drag queens. (Danzón is always at its liveliest when Tito Vosconcelos's campy queen Susy is on the screen. You can be sure that the portrait made a number of Mexico's homophobes squirm.) Following another vague tip, Julia searches the harbor where she meets a handsome, young sailor named Reuben with whom she has an affair. Then she returns home... happy. What Novaro, Mexico's foremost woman director, creates is almost deceptively simple, especially in light of that country's flamboyantly melodramatic narrative film tradition. Danzón is actively non-melodramatic and clear-eyed. What Julia finds on her journey is her long-absent sense of self. As Julia, Rojo is lovely to watch with her sure demeanor and inner strength. Yet, there's a level at which Danzón is a distinctly hermetic Mexican movie that probably speaks more eloquently to the situation of its own countrywomen than to a broader international audience. From our perspective, Julia's journey towards rejuvenation may seem more a Seventies than Nineties-era process. (In an American movie, for example, this same telephone operator might have turned into a character like Mimi Rogers in The Rapture). Ultimately, it's the classic roll in the hay and some stereotypical good loving that gets Julia's mind right again. I suspect that if I were a Mexican woman, I would be stirred to award Danzón additional stars for its meditation on romantic values and the discoveries of unknown places in the heart.

Feds arrest stabbing suspect Benjamin Pita in Tucson
Thursday in Tucson, federal agents with the U.S. Marshal’s Service apprehended an at-large suspect who allegedly stabbed a man multiple times in the State Route 260 and East Thousand Trails Road area Dec. 8.
According to a news release from the Cottonwood Police Department, Benjamin Pita was arrested and booked on a federal parole violation warrant.
Pita will remain in their custody until the federal case is adjudicated.
Police said federal agencies will be in contact with the Yavapai County Attorney’s Office Warrant Division regarding extradition to Yavapai County to face felony charges related to the stabbing.
According to a previous news release, Pita stabbed a 53-year-old Camp Verde man numerous times in the face, neck, arm and chest while in a car. The victim was driving and Pita was the passenger.
Pita jumped out of the vehicle in the area of East Thousand Trails Road and fled on foot.
Another passenger moved the victim to the passenger seat and drove to a convenience store in the area of Western Drive and SR 260 and called 911, stated the release.
Police said all occupants of the vehicle are known to each other, however, the motive is still unclear.
The victim was flown to Flagstaff Medical Center due to the seriousness of his injuries and extreme blood loss.
According to the release, the victim survived the attack and has since been released from the hospital.
Pita was on supervised federal parole, and the FBI was notified as probable cause existed to arrest him.
The 23-year-old Verde Valley resident was most recently living on the Yavapai-Apache Reservation, said Sgt. Monica Kuhlt.
He remained at large until Thursday when he was arrested in Tucson.

DALLAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), one of the largest public land-grant research universities in the United States, has adopted Continual Engine’s PREP PDF and document remediation platform to strategically improve accessible communications across the institution.
Continual Engine and Virginia Tech are partnering on a large-scale initiative to make document accessibility easier, faster, and more pervasive throughout the university. The initial rollout is currently underway for 1,000 users, which includes faculty, instructional designers, administrators, and accessibility teams. Over the following years, additional users will be added with the goal of providing institution-wide access to PREP.
Virginia Tech is widely recognized as a leader in higher education for implementing accessibility technology initiatives and building an inclusive community that is future-focused and innovative while prioritizing equitable experiences for all learners.
Mark Nichols, Senior Director Universal Design & Accessible Technologies for Technology-enhanced Learning and Online Strategies (TLOS) states, “The creation of accessible educational materials is critical to our strategic efforts around digital accessibility. PREP will further guide Virginia Tech faculty and staff in producing content that fosters successful communication and engagement.”
Continual Engine and Virginia Tech will monitor usage and gather feedback, which will continue to inform PREP’s product roadmap. As an extension of Virginia Tech’s document remediation training, users have access to PREP’s in-built course on document accessibility basics. In addition to these resources, users can learn and work more precisely using demo videos that have been integrated into PREP.
Continual Engine provides ongoing support through a live help desk along with training webinars, which provide more opportunities for Virginia Tech users to ask questions and get hands-on experience with document remediation while facilitating communication and boosting participation.
Mousumi Kapoor, CEO and Founder of Continual Engine says, "PREP aims to revolutionize the complex and expensive document remediation methods that exist today, in order to enable accessibility for all. We are thrilled to partner with Virginia Tech, who shares our passion for leveraging technology to enable a more equitable world."
About Continual Engine
Continual Engine resulted from a dinner conversation between friends about the lack of effective and authentic technological solutions that focus on accessibility and equitable learning. Today Continual Engine is an award-winning artificial intelligence (AI) technology company dedicated to building smarter, affordable, and scalable solutions for learning and accessibility. By leveraging sophisticated technologies such as AI, deep learning, machine learning, automation, and more in collaboration with human experts, Continual Engine delivers exponential scale and efficiency.
PREP, Continual Engine’s proprietary PDF and Document Remediation Platform, leverages powerful artificial intelligence technologies to create accessible PDF content by reducing the need for manual decision-making during document remediation, automating the process of labeling complex documents, and expediting the process of making them accessible. The AI-engine in PREP has received rigorous training to process a large number of complex PDFs in a short timeframe while supporting multiple format conversions.

Nielsen Music's mid-year report for 2018 seems to be a pivotal moment for the global music industry. The report indicated a growth spurt with on-demand song streaming activity surpassing 400 billion and on-demand audio streaming increasing by 45%.
However, the industry does not look very promising for artists looking to sell music online as sales of song downloads dropped 27.4% while album downloads slipped 21.7%.
Last year, Drake and Post Malone (pictured above) had the highest volume of on-demand audio streams out of any artists in the U.S., with 3.3 billion and 3.1 billion. The gap between streaming and buying is increasing faster than anticipated as more individuals are converted to paid music streaming subscribers.
The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry(IFPI) reported a 45.5% increase in global paid subscription streaming. The IFPI report also mentions a large difference in returns to record companies and musicians. Last year, Spotify paid record companies US$20 per user, whereas video streaming giant Youtube returned less than US$1 for each music user.
Streaming is here to stay and it will ultimately eradicate buying singles or albums. This progression does benefit listeners and popular musicians but things could get much worse for independent artists and local talents around the world.

Michael David Weaver (also known as Michael David Carothers) is a violent neo-Nazi who has been active since he was a teenager. Currently, he lives in Cartersville and is engaging in a campaign to spread hate in Georgia. Since late last year, Weaver has distributed copious amounts of antisemitic propaganda, mainly for the antisemitic Goyim Defense League but also for other white supremacist groups. Weaver also holds one-man demonstrations with antisemitic signs outside the Bartow County Courthouse. Weaver has a long history of ideologically driven harassment and violence, including an assault on a Black man in Columbus, Georgia for which Weaver served a one-year sentence.

Update, November 2020: Bill Hagerty won the Tennessee election for US Senate.
Summary: Twenty-year-old Michael Patrick Hagerty, II is a member of two racist organizations, Patriot Front and Revolt Through Tradition. This year, he placed stickers for those organizations throughout Atlanta. Hagerty even wears clothes designating himself as a “National Socialist” – in other words, a neo-Nazi. His uncle, Bill Hagerty, is a Trump loyalist campaigning as the Republican candidate in Tennessee’s US Senate race, which he will likely win. Bill Hagerty vilifies Black Lives Matter and anti-fascists. Meanwhile, his nephew works with white supremacists to build a climate of intimidation against people of color, Jewish people, Muslims, leftists and LGBTQ communities.
Michael Patrick Hagerty, II is a twenty-year-old white nationalist who belongs to two different fascist organizations, Patriot Front (PF) and Revolt Through Tradition (RTT). Over the last year, he has covered Atlanta with stickers for these organizations, trying to give the impression that they have a strong presence in our city. Hagerty has also traveled to meet with other PF and RTT members and posed in photos as they trained together for fighting. Hagerty even wears a t-shirt identifying himself as a “National Socialist”: in other words, a neo-Nazi. One of Hagerty’s associates in Patriot Front is “John GA” (alias), who targeted synagogues in Columbus, Georgia, last year with another PF member, Chris Brooks.
Hagerty’s uncle, William F. Hagerty, is currently campaigning in Tennessee as the Republican candidate in that state’s election for the US Senate, which he will likely win. As a candidate, Bill Hagerty has repeatedly attacked Black Lives Matter and anti-fascists. He characterized Black Lives Matter as aiming to “overthrow the government and usher in Marxism” and echoed Donald Trump’s characterization of anti-fascists as “domestic terrorists”, stating that they “must be stopped”. Through his aggressive public stance against anti-racist movements, Bill Hagerty shelters and emboldens white nationalists like his nephew while they prepare for violence.Continue reading “Nephew of Tennessee Candidate for US Senate is “Patriot Front” Racist Militant in Georgia”
The Torch Network of militant antifascists has leaked over a year of internal communications from Patriot Front, a major white supremacist organization operating nationally. The data leak, which exposes the organization’s inner workings and potential identifying information about individual members, will be a blow to the racist group. Atlanta Antifascists are a member group within Torch and are proud to promote the data leak, which can be found here.
Patriot Front formed in the direct aftermath of 2017’s “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, as a splinter from and rebranding of the fascist Vanguard America. From December 2017 through May 2018, a Patriot Front state chapter led at the time by Aaron Christopher Krueger repeatedly targeted metro Atlanta with Patriot Front propaganda. When we exposed Krueger based on an earlier info leak, the Patriot Front campaign came to a sudden halt. Also in 2018, we published about Christopher Gibson, a Ku Klux Klan supporter in Dublin, Georgia who had bragged about placing PF stickers around his community.
The following year, Patriot Front surfaced in Columbus, Georgia, eventually targeting synagogues in that community. Some stickers were also posted in the Atlanta suburb of Lawrenceville. We determined that Christopher Skylar Brooks – also a member of the Proud Boys far-Right group – helped place the propaganda in Lawrenceville and traveled to Columbus to help target synagogues with member “John GA” (alias). The new Patriot Front leaks cover this time period. Brooks has now moved to Shanghai, China. We still seek information on “John GA”.
In 2020, Patriot Front has been recruiting in Georgia, with metro Atlanta and other locations hit with the organization’s propaganda. The current pandemic, which leads to more time spent online, may have assisted recruitment. In general, however, Patriot Front’s presence in Georgia is weaker than in other regions and their new recruits do not stick around for long: they are either scared away from racist activism or move on to other projects. We welcome any more information about members we have not yet identified. When we identify white supremacists, the information may follow them even to China, as Christopher Skylar Brooks found out.
On July 29 of last year, two members of Patriot Front – a fascist and white nationalist organization – placed propaganda at synagogues in Columbus, Georgia in an apparent attempt at intimidation. We can now identify one of the two people responsible, who we had written about earlier this year but failed to connect to activity in Columbus. As discussed in our previous article, Christopher Skylar Brooks helped place Patriot Front (PF) materials in the Atlanta suburb of Lawrenceville in May 2019. We connected Brooks to the PF materials in Lawrenceville via an online brag in combination with Brooks’ internet handle, location, dress, and other clues. In our article about Brooks, we surmised that he did not last long in Patriot Front. However, he stayed long enough in the organization to target Columbus, Georgia synagogues with another member, a month and a half after the May propaganda run in Lawrenceville.Continue reading “REVEALED: White Nationalist who Targeted Synagogues in Columbus, Georgia”

Michael Abbott, audio coordinator for the GRAMMY Awards®, specified 12 Austrian Audio OC818 microphones to be used as overhead microphones on the artist drum kits during the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards, which was broadcast live from STAPLES Center in L.A. on January 26th 2020.
“The Broadcast Music Mix engineers came back to me after the broadcast, commenting on how the microphones provided additional tonal response and spatial coherence to the overall drum kit mix,” comments Abbott.
Image credit: Courtesy of the Recording Academy®/Getty Images © 2020
The GRAMMY Awards ceremony is regarded as one of the four major annual American entertainment awards along with the Academy Awards, the Emmy Awards, and the Tony Awards.
Hosted by Alicia Keys, the 62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards featured many special performances – including ‘Old Town Road All-Stars,’ which featured nominees Billy Ray Cyrus and Lil Nas X, who were joined by BTS, Diplo, Mason Ramsey, and Nas.
Other artists performing on the night included first-time nominees and breakout stars, Billie Eilish and Lizzo (who both made their GRAMMY® stage debuts), Blake Shelton and past GRAMMY winner Gwen Stefani, and four-time GRAMMY winners and the 2020 MusiCares® Person of the Year honoree, Aerosmith, who performed the classic and meaningful ‘Walk This Way’ with Run-DMC.
In a tribute to GRAMMY executive producer Ken Ehrlich, and to acknowledge the importance of music education in schools, artists associated with Ehrlich's 40-year career performed ‘I Sing The Body Electric’ from the film, ‘Fame’ during the ceremony. The performance featured nominees Camila Cabello and Gary Clark Jr., joined by Debbie Allen, Joshua Bell, Common, Misty Copeland, Lang Lang, Cyndi Lauper, Ben Platt and the War And Treaty.
“We are thrilled that our OC818s were part of such a prestigious and high-profile musical event that is watched all over the world,” comments Martin Seidl, CEO of Austrian Audio. “To have our mics specified by the GRAMMYs' chief engineer and sound designer speaks volumes about the quality of our products, and the recognition they are gaining throughout the industry.”
Handmade in Vienna, the OC818 is a multi-pattern dual-output condenser microphone equipped with a world-first: optional wireless control, while its sibling – the OC18, is a cardioid pattern precision microphone. Its unique design and outstanding sonics, combined with new wireless control technologies offering highly optimized workflows, have garnered the OC818 five-star reviews from all over the world.
The OC818 also features a second output that allows the engineer, producer or musician to record the rear-facing capsule independently of the forward-facing capsule. If both capsules are recorded to a stereo or dual-mono track, Austrian Audio's free and Open Source Polar Designer plug-in (Mac/Win: VST, AU & AAX) facilitates unprecedented control and tailoring of polar patterns between one and five bands with selectable crossover points.
At the heart of the range is the patent-pending, handmade CKR12 ceramic capsule, made to the same critical dimensions as the legendary CK12 capsules. However, the CKR12 goes further still, utilizing a revolutionary new material offering far more stability, meaning every OC818 is inherently paired with any other OC818, or even Austrian Audio’s OC18 mic.

A man is being told he looks like a chipmunk after spending years of his life training and chiseling his jaw.
Luca Marchesi is a male model from Milan, Italy, who is better known as the ‘CEO of Jawline’ thanks to his chiseled jaw that he worked on for years.
As the young man, who has gone viral on TikTok after sharing videos of his triangle-shaped jawline, revealed, he has been training his jaw for years after being told his face was too round by fashion agencies.
Now, the star took to social media to share yet another jaw-dropping video of him showing off his new looks to his fans while asking them if he went too far with his face transformation.
After sharing one of his most recent clips, Luca was quickly told that he now looks like a chipmunk who’s “trying to make his own face shape.”
“Gonna turn into a triangle soon if you don’t [slow] down,” someone wrote.
“Alvin and the Chipmunks been REAL quiet since you dropped this one,” another one commented.
The third suggested: “He is saving acorns for the winter.”
Following the backlash, Luca spoke out to LADbible to announce that he would be shutting down his TikTok account due to all the negative comments he receives about his looks.
“I wanted to make a short announcement. I intend to close this TikTok account. I’m sorry for everyone who follows me, but by now out of five comments I get, four are insults or criticisms,” he said.
The young man previously also opened up about his dramatic transformation in an interview with Webboh.
As he told the Italian website, he weighed nearly 230 pounds when he was 18 years old. Due to his round face, he was allegedly not welcomed by fashion agencies as he tried to pursue his dreams.
“It was not a good time, as I had just broken up with my girlfriend, which made me feel that she no longer liked me physically and that I had grown too big,” he expressed.
“A few months later, I started going to some fashion agencies. I remember that I shot at at least five or six, and they all rejected me because I was too big and had a face that was too round.”
After being told to lose at least 60 pounds before returning, Luca dedicated his free time to transforming his body and his face. He also started calling himself the CEO of Jawline although it isn’t clear what this label entitles.
“Those who follow me know that in addition to training that jaw there was more, and I posted some important messages,” Luca insisted.

The regions of the world most affected by droughts are often agricultural regions. Why? Because agriculture has been the largest consumer of water on earth for millennia. When drought strikes, only wealthy farmers can afford expensive water saving technology, such as soil moisture sensor arrays, and most others have no choice but to suffer. However, in this age of Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, it no longer has to be this way. Introducing ConserWater™: a novel Artificial Intelligence that predicts exactly how much water farmers need to give to their plants on any day, at any location around the world!
ConserWater™ uses novel methods and advanced data science to process enormous data sets, ranging from satellite data to historical weather, and make a detailed prediction of the ideal amount of water for crops at any time. By using ConserWater™, any entity engaged in some form of irrigation can improve its water efficiency up to 30%: this translates to tens of thousands of gallons per an acre of land.

SPORTS Direct boss Mike Ashley has offered rival Sir Philip Green a £50million lifeline for his crumbling Topshop empire.
The businessman is looking at acquiring Arcadia group’s brands - just two years after insisting he wouldn’t buy Arcadia “for a pound”.
As news spread of the looming collapse, pictures emerged of Sir Philip lounging on his £100million yacht in tax haven Monaco earlier this week.
Ashley's Frasers Group has thrashed out plans for an emergency loan to Arcadia in an eleventh hour bid to save the retailer, Sky News reports.
Chris Wootton, Frasers' chief financial officer, said today: 'We hope that Sir Philip Green and the Arcadia Group will contact us today to discuss how we can support them and help save as many jobs as possible."
It is understood the cash boost will be in the form of a secured loan aimed at stopping Arcadia collapsing into administration.
But critics say the offer "sounds like a stunt" - with the loan requiring approval from Arcadia's pension scheme, which would then demand additional security over its exposure to the company.
It emerged yesterday Ashley was "interested" in a deal to take Arcadia over.
Ashley and Sir Philip are already locked in a bitter rivalry - with the proposal likely to fan the flames of the existing tension.
MPs were told in 2016 that Sir Philip personally blocked a deal that could have rescued department chain BHS, because he held a bitter grudge against Mr Ashley.
Mr Ashley told The Times last year that he wouldn’t buy Sir Philip’s Arcadia group even “for a pound”, dismissing speculation that he was mulling an acquisition of the business group.
He said: “Let me be completely clear. I wouldn’t buy any part of Arcadia either with Leonard Green or directly for a pound.
“I am not getting involved with that pension deficit in Arcadia for reputational reasons. It is not for me.”
The Newcastle United owner added: “I don’t know where the story is coming from - for all I know Philip is putting it out there that I am going to buy (Arcadia Group) - but I am not interested.”
It comes after billionaire Ashley reportedly made attempts to acquire beleaguered Debenhams this year as it emerged the high street giant faced financial ruin.
RetailGazette reports that Mr Ashley dropped out of the Debenhams sale after baulking at the "impossible" £300m asking price set by the retailer's advisers.
Premier League bosses also issued an astonishing statement in September berating Mr Ashley for deliberately misleading Newcastle United fans amid a failed Saudi takeover.
They insisted Mr Ashley was fundamentally and factually wrong in trying to blame Prem chief executive Richard Masters for the collapse of the £300m deal.
The Sports Direct boss is said to be worth a whopping £2.3billion and boasts a stunning property portfolio that includes a 33-bedroom London house, holiday abodes in Spain, as well as a sprawling mansion in Miami.
It comes as one retail industry figure said Arcadia's collapse had become inevitable after talks with lenders about an emergency £30million loan had failed.
The appointment of administrators could happen as early as Monday, although one person close to the situation reportedly said the plan had yet to be finalised and that it could be delayed.
Earlier this year, Arcadia warned that it could close 100 of its shops due to coronavirus.
Only last year Mr Green's retail empire was saved from the brink of collapse after his wife agreed to bail him out of financial woes.
The move saw Arcadia shut 48 stores and axe 1,000 jobs.
Arcadia has more than 500 shops in the UK, with the majority in England currently closed due to current coronavirus restrictions.
Sir Philip Green bought the high street group in 2002 for £850million.
Three years later he paid one of the largest-ever dividends - a massive £1.2billion - to his wife and registered owner, Lady Tina Green.
But he faced heavy criticism for selling department chain BHS in 2015 for just £1 to Dominic Chappell, who has recently been jailed for tax evasion.
The former king of the high street was then blasted following the demise of BHS in 2015 over a £571million pensions black hole.

Following the latest reports, a spokesperson for Arcadia told The Sun: "We are aware of the recent media speculation surrounding the future of Arcadia.
"The forced closure of our stores for sustained periods as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic has had a material impact on trading across our businesses.
"As a result, the Arcadia boards have been working on a number of contingency options to secure the future of the Group’s brands.
"The brands continue to trade and our stores will be opening again in England and Republic of Ireland as soon as the Government COVID-19 restrictions are lifted next week."

Reference: New EIU/Citibank Report: The World's Most Competitive Cities
A new Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU) research report, commissioned by Citi, reveals that New York, London and Singapore rank first, second and third in competitiveness, out of 120 of the world’s major cities. Released today, the report, entitled Hot Spots, ranks the most competitive cities in the world for their demonstrated ability to attract capital, business, talent and tourists.
According to the report, the ten most competitive cities in the world are: New York (1st), London (2nd), Singapore (3rd), Paris and Hong Kong (joint 4th), Tokyo, (6th), Zurich (7th), Washington, DC (8th), Chicago (9th), and Boston (10th).
For Hot Spots, the EIU developed a “Global City Competitiveness Index” that measures cities across eight distinct categories of competitiveness and 31 individual indicators. Categories include economic strength, human capital, institutional effectiveness, financial maturity, global appeal, physical capital, social and cultural character and environment and natural hazards. A city’s overall ranking in the benchmark Index is a weighted score of the underlying categories.
Key findings include:
The most significant advantage that developed country cities hold is their ability to develop and attract the world’s top talent. European and American cities dominate the human capital category of the Index, as they are able to continue to attract capital, businesses, talent and tourists despite concerns over ageing infrastructure and large budget deficits. It will be key for these Western cities to harness their legacy advantages and global connectivity to continue to compete and succeed against fast-growing emerging market cities.
- 11 of the top 30 cities are European: London (2nd), Paris (4th), Zurich (7th), Frankfurt (11th), Geneva (joint 13th), Amsterdam (17th), Stockholm (joint 20th), Copenhagen (joint 23rd), Vienna (joint 25th), Dublin (27th) and Madrid (28th).
- 10 of the top 30 are U.S. cities: New York, Washington, DC (8th), Chicago (9th), Boston (10th), San Francisco (joint 13th), Los Angeles (19th), Houston (joint 23rd), Dallas (joint 25th), Seattle (29th) and Philadelphia (30th).
Asia’s economic rise is reflected in the economic competitiveness of its cities: In terms of “economic strength,” the most highly weighted category, 15 of the top 20 cities are in Asia. Twelve are in China. Tianjin, Shenzhen and Dalian top the list, while nine other Chinese cities rank in the top 20. Singapore (15th), Bangalore (16th), Ahmedabad (19th) and Hanoi (joint 20th) complete the top 20. The top 32 Asian cities are all forecast to grow by at least 5% annually between now and 2016. Twelve of them will grow by at least 10%.
A “middle tier” of mid-size cities is emerging as a key driver of global growth: Although most companies target a combination of advanced economies and emerging market megacities, the fastest overall growth is found in a middle tier of mid-sized cities with populations of 2m-5m such as Abu Dhabi, Bandung, Dalian, Hangzhou, Hanoi, Pune, Qingdao and Surabaya. In fact, just nine of the 23 megacities (with populations over 10 million) ranked in the top 30 on economic strength. These mid-size cities are collectively forecast to grow by 8.7% annually over the next five years, ahead of the megacities on which many firms focus.
Infrastructure investments will drive emerging market growth, but more will be needed to secure their attractiveness to tomorrow’s talent: One of the most pressing challenges for emerging market cities in the decades ahead will be whether they can focus their development not just on skyscrapers, rail links and other infrastructure, but also on the softer aspects that will be crucial to their ability to attract and develop tomorrow’s talent—including education, quality of life, and personal freedoms, among other things. In addressing these aspects of competitiveness, cities in Latin America and Africa including Buenos Aires (ranked 60th), Johannesburg (67th) and Cape Town (73rd) can quickly improve their performance in the ranking.

The AIG deal to reduce its debt to the Fed is a clear example of how the Federal Reserve (which is neither federal nor possessive of a reserve of anything but its own unknown fantastic resources) can create wealth out of thin air, and enrich itself by "lending" money. The big picture here is that after numerous financial transactions involving AIG, JP Morgan Chase, the Treasury Department, and the NY Federal Reserve Bank during the fall of 2008, AIG ended up with $85 billion which it used to make emergency payments to its largest creditors, the largest of which was $13 billion to (are you ready?) Goldman Sachs. Now AIG has announced that it will pay back about $25 billion to the Fed. But the Fed never loaned real money to AIG, it loaned "fiat" money. And the Fed will not be paid back in "fiat" money, but will be paid back in real money.
Here is how the Fed pulled off this deal. I will use round numbers for the sake of simplicity. JP Morgan Chase has an account at the Fed into which it has deposited, let's say, for example, $500,000,000. The Fed asks Chase to be its intermediary to AIG. In other words, the Fed will "give" $50 billion to Chase and Chase will loan $50 billion to AIG, and AIG will owe the Fed $50 billion, plus interest. Chase will earn a seven figure fee for this service. So, how does the Fed get $50 billion into Chase's hands? Does it send $50 billion in gold bricks to Chase? No. Does it send a wheelbarrow full of $50 billion in cash to Chase? No. Does it write a $50 billion check to Chase from its own money? No. The Fed "gives" $50 billion to Chase by adding three zeroes to Chase's account at the Fed. Thus $500,000,000 at the stroke of three computer keys becomes $50 billion. This is called "fiat" money ("fiat" is Latin for "let it be.." as in "let it come into existence") because it was just created out of thin air on the Fed's balance sheet. The Fed is the only bank in the U.S. which may lawfully do this. Chase then serves as the Fed's agent, and sends a Chase check to AIG for $50 billion, and AIG promises to repay the $50 billion, not to Chase, but to the Fed. Note, that the Fed has not parted with so much as a dime of its wealth, but AIG now has $50 billion in real cash with which to pay its creditors.
Now the Fed comes calling on AIG and wants some of its "loan" repaid. So, how does AIG repay the loan? It gives the Fed $25 billion in shares of stock in a corporation that AIG owns, and permits the Fed to sell those shares. When the Fed does sell those shares, it will reduce AIG's debt to the Fed by the amount the Fed receives for the shares and it will increase the Fed's wealth by that amount. Thus, in this example, the Fed did not part with a dime but it will be $25 billion richer when this partial payback by AIG is completed. So the Fed loaned fiat money, but was paid back in real money. The consequences of this is a serious reduction on the value of the dollar for all of us. Since the Fed began creating fiat money in 1913, the value of the dollar has been reduced by 92%. Will this madness never end?


Saturday 12th December 2020
Welcome to my preview for the second day of the International Meeting at Cheltenham. It was good to finally have a really good day at Cheltenham this season yesterday on the page, with Mister Fisher winning when put up at 5/1 as well as Happygolucky at 2/1. Black Tulip also came second at 8/1.
For Saturday I’ll be sharing my views on six of the seven races which include the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup as well as the International Hurdle.
The first race of the day comes up at 12:05 and is a Class 2 Juvenile Hurdle over two miles, otherwise known as the Triumph Trial. I think this race is all about the David Pipe trained ADAGIO at 11/10 for David Pipe and Tom Scudamore. He’s a heavy ground winner on the flat and opened his account over obstacles with a win at Warwick before following up with a fine second here in a Grade 2 last month behind Duffle Coat. If naturally progressing from that effort here he could well prove tough to beat for connections who took the opening race on Friday.
Up next is the 12:40 which is a Class 2 Novices’ Chase which is a contested over two miles and four and a half furlongs. Similar to the first race there’s another warm order here who I think will be very tough to beat and that’s the Nicky Henderson trained CHANTRY HOUSE at 8/13, who’s the mount of Nico de Boinville. He won at this meeting last year before finishing third behind stablemate Shishkin in the Supreme at The Festival in March. He opened his account over fences with a 26 length success at Ascot and it’s likely there’s a lot more to come from this exciting prospect. His main rival looks to come in the form of stablemate Fusil Raffles.
Moving onto the 1:15 we have a Handicap Chase that’s ridden over a distance of two miles and half of a furlong. An extremely competitive affair of which I’m taking a chance on ZANZA at 5/1 for Richard Johnson and Phillip Hobbs. He showed a nice turn of foot to win impressively at Newbury last time out a couple of weeks ago, there are some question marks surrounding the ground but he did win on soft over hurdles a couple of years ago. If showing more progression here he’s got to be considered as a big player. Ibleo looks a big threat and a solid favourite for Venetia Williams.
The 1:50 is up next which is the Grade 3 Handicap Chase that is the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup over two miles and four and a half furlongs. This race is always immensely competitive with this year being no different with horses at the top of the betting such as Cepage and Al Dancer setting a solid standard. I’m taking a chance on one being potentially better than this grade though and that’s the Paul Nicholls trained MASTER TOMMYTUCKER at 7/1 who’s to be ridden by Harry Cobden. This horse is far from the most straight forward and has proven to be very error prone in the past, that could well get him found out around here but I just think he might have a bit of star quality about him. He’s won both of his starts so far the season and most recently dismantled a decent field at Haydock, getting the better of the smart Good Boy Bobby by the best part of 15 lengths. If getting a clear round I think he could have a big say here.
It’s more Graded action next at 2:25 as we have the a Grade 2 Novice Hurdle over three miles. Another competitive field of which I’ve sided with another Paul Nicholls charge this time coming in the form of DANNY KIRWAN at 7/2, who’ll be once again ridden by Harry Cobden. He was a smart bumper horse but became frustrating to follow in recent years, however, on his most recent appearance at Ascot he finally showcased the talent he clearly has when getting the better of a well fancied rival of Nicky Henderson’s by over three lengths. This requires another step up in ability but I don’t think we’ve quite gotten to the bottom of him yet as I think there could be a considerable amount yet to come from him.
I’m concluding my preview with the 3:00 which is the Grade 2 International Hurdle itself, a race that’s ridden over two miles and a furlong. This is one of the most intriguing races of the National Hunt season so far, and therefore I’ve actually sided with two in it. The first of which is GOSHEN at 2/1 for the Moore team of Jamie and Gary. I’m probably going more heart than head here but I really want him to bounce back for connections, especially Jamie and prove himself to be a top-class hurdler after that infamous last flight spill when miles clear in the Triumph here in March. He’s got a couple of below par efforts on the flat in the summer to put behind him but he still holds considerable potential within this division. My more, let’s say, ‘head’ based selection comes in the form of SILVER STREAK at 7/1 for Adam Wedge and Evan Williams. He was mightily impressive on his seasonal reappearance in a Listed contest at Kempton when getting the better of Verdana Blue by over six lengths. He was very unfortunate last time when carried out in the Fighting Fifth at Newcastle and he’s every chance of getting redemption for that here at a course where has solid form over hurdles having placed in a Champion Hurdle. Solid player if you don’t fancy chancing the jolly.

Shelter is traditionally recognized as one of the basic essentials of life among food and clothing. As a matter of fact, shelter creates a microclimate that is essential for survival. The microclimate created by shelter protects individuals from the effects of both natural elements and general security as a whole.
With the level of importance that is attached to shelter, owning a home incidentally has become an organised procedure that is critical to the social existence of mankind. Almost every government and organized social ecosystems have made provisions for citizens within a given geographical space to acquire homes and places of shelter. However, the processes involved in traditional home acquisition are becoming more and more complicated. This is probably due to the rising demand and limited space availability
Traditional mortgage processes
A fundamental aspect of these systems of home acquisition involves funding in the form of mortgages. By definition, mortgage is a legal agreement by which a bank, building society, etc. lends money at interest in exchange for taking title of the debtor’s property, with the condition that the conveyance of title becomes void upon the payment of the debt. This may seem a straightforward process, but the actual implementation processes are usually very much complex.
Traditional mortgage loans involve a lot of paperwork, overhead costs and inefficiencies. The number of documents that need to be gathered and processed only for an application is usually bulky. Creating a new mortgage requires a significant amount of time for both the borrower and the lender. The traditional process is still paper-based, in contrast to other financial areas that have already shifted to the digital space. In addition, the mortgage loan process continues to involve many parties, including the buyer, seller, financial institution, rating agency, appraiser, broker and so on, making it even more complex.
However, the industrial revolution that is heralded by blockchain technology is opening up more convenient and effective ways of simplifying data related processes, and the housing and mortgage industry is not being left out.
According to the CEO of Homeland, Itai Cohen, despite the enormous size of the mortgage industry, it is still highly regulated, dull, archaic, requires lot of capital and has been untouched by innovation for many years. Hence, a fundamentally different approach to the mortgage industry had to be taken using recent technologies. Cohen explains that such approach would be obviously entirely digital, instantaneous and free of any paperwork, faxes or anything like that. This new approach must be innovative, and appealing for millennials, the opposite approach than the one that the mortgage sector has today.
The blockchain, being a distributed ledger can significantly simplify the transfer of and access to information for each of the parties involved in the mortgage value chain. Also, with its unique capability to generate trust, transparency, and record immutability, it is an effective move towards digitization, not only of mortgage documentation but of all related business processes.
Therefore, by adopting blockchain technology, the mortgage industry will be exposed to new P2P funding/investment opportunities, better managing information, and automating business processes with the help of smart contracts.
A simplified industrial process
Incidentally, borrowers can crowdfund their mortgage loans without relying on any bank and their associated complicated procedures. Lenders as well can easily access and obtain firsthand and authentic information about any project into which they may wish to invest. This implies that the process of getting a loan will be much faster and will be in an ‘all in one’ model on a single platform. This eliminates the multiple procedures that most often involves several different platforms, thereby increasing the chances of error and trust requirement.
Hence the model that is proposed by Homeland, which involves the development of a decentralized, peer-to-peer mortgage lending platform is expected to serve two major purposes. First is to modernize the age-old mortgage lending system in order to make it efficient, cost-effective and customer-centric. Then secondly to expand home ownership opportunities for a new generation of borrowers, meeting their distinct lifestyle and needs.
Therefore, by implementing blockchain technology, the sophistication and complexity involved is delivering a most essential necessity to humankind is becoming resolved and simplified. Hence, like in most industries, value achievement and cost effectiveness are taking center stage and solutions are extended to those who really need them.

I am a painter, photographer and videographer and from time to time I attempt to write things down. . . On this site you will discover the artwork I create and the style I have developed through his years of on location creation of images. I paint from direct observation, on location and like to share my vision with others. There is a beauty in the ordinary things of everyday life that i like to try to capture. Recently i has been exploring more and more natural and wilderness scenes. Carol, my wife and partner for almost fifty years, is also a creative mind and both Carol and I love to travel. We have had the good fortune to cruise across the Atlantic on a small sailboat without incident. Americas Great Loop, an almost 7,000 mile journey by water around the eastern half of the United States was accomplished in a continuous year of cruising and living aboard our boat. We have kayaked in the Atlantic, Pacific, Caribbean and the Sea of Cortez. Carol and I regularly explore by automobile and a small teardrop trailer the byways of the US and every weekend finds us hiking the trails of New England. I am always dragging my cameras, drones and paints where ever we go. Tag along on my blog.

Valley of the Heroes
Valley of the Heroes is an inside account of language and cultural loss in Hualong County, a Tibetan and Muslim community in Amdo, north-eastern Tibet (Qinghai Province, China). Over the past several decades, Tibetans living in Hualong have experienced rapid cultural shifts and accelerated language loss. Today more than a third of the population are unable to speak their native language. The film spends time with an assortment of village residents and elders who reflect on the changes taking place in their community, and also documents a unique Tibetan language program that is attempting to address the situation. Valley of the Heroes offers a rare and thought-provoking glimpse into a Tibetan society caught in the midst of a difficult and complex cultural transition.

China’s record Single’s Day signals shows strength of e-commerce
Single’s Day 2019 in China set a spending record, and Vietnam is not staying out of the online shopping fever
Vietnam, 19 Nov 2019 – Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba reported RMB268.4 billion (US$38.4 billion) of sales on November 11, a rise of 26 percent compared with 2018. The Single’s Day ‘shopping holiday’ is not a public holiday in China but has become the largest shopping day in the world, beating Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S.
The growth of Single’s Day, which originated at Wuhan University in 1990, demonstrates the growth of online shopping in China and the rest of the world, says Peter Guevarra, director, regional research, at JLL. “Less than a decade ago, Alibaba’s Single’s Day sales were less than US$1 billion. This year it took just over one minute to rack up US$1 billion in sales.
Vietnam is not staying outside of the Single’s Day fever. Many ecommerce giants such as Tiki, Lazada, Shopee,… have started organizing massive sale festivals on 11/11 with enthusiastic response from consumers. Great demand with continuous growth from ecommerce users has put great pressure on existing supply chains, facilities and warehouses. JLL predicts that the growth of the online retail channel will contribute to investment activities for the current shortfalls of the industry.
Today, retailers need an omni-channel strategy – which encompasses online sales and offline sales in stores – in order to take full advantage of the e-commerce boom. For example, more retailers in Vietnam are now using the buzz around singles days to run special offers and promotions.
In real estate, warehousing has been the major beneficiary of the growth of online shopping. Online retailers such as Alibaba require a huge and growing amount of logistics space just to handle Singles Day. In the first nine months of this year, online sales in China rose 16.8 percent on the same period in 2018.
“China has the world’s largest e-commerce market, but online retailing is seeing double-digit growth all over the world,” says Guevarra. “This growth will underpin demand for logistics real estate in the future. Many markets around the region have a shortage of large modern warehouses required by online retailers.”
Warehousing requires substantial amounts of land near transport nodes and the demand for it is transforming the design of new facilities. Multi-storey warehouses were once limited to land-constrained markets such as Tokyo and Hong Kong. However, multi-level facilities are becoming more common in other places in Asia, while both the U.S. and UK London saw their first multi-storey warehouses open last year.
“Even markets such as the U.S., where land is relatively abundant, rising land prices and changing supply chain requirements have made multi-storey warehousing more feasible”, says Guevarra.
Online customers are becoming ever more demanding, with next day and even same day delivery becoming an important part of the online retailer’s offer. This means more logistics centres nearer to the customer, to fulfil “last mile delivery” needs.
“The need for last mile facilities means more logistics space in urban areas,” says Guevarra. “This is increasing globally, although as last mile delivery continues to evolve and develop, this will continue to change and impact the optimal location and design of these urban facilities.”
Alibaba handles one billion packages a week but on Single’s Day this total is reached in a single day, meaning the retail group needs to be able to maintain delivery standards. In order to do so it operates its own logistics business, Cainiao Network, which has in turn invested in an express delivery company, ZTO Express. This supply chain integration will become more common with larger retailers, says Guevarra.
The huge space demands of retailers such as Alibaba and global third party logistics companies can best be served by larger logistics real estate companies, which can serve tenants across multiple city and country markets. “This need for scale will drive M&A in the logistics real estate business,” says Guevarra.
“Despite yield compression, logistics real estate still offers a positive yield spread compared with other real estate sectors across many markets in the region. And the ongoing positive structural changes in the sector, coupled with the ‘cultural’ shift to logistics, will support future development and investment capital inflow,” says Guevarra.

BRASILIA, Aug 22 (Reuters) - Brazilian Supreme Court Justice Ricardo Lewandowski scheduled a public hearing for Sept. 28 about an injunction he issued in June that mandates that all sales of state-controlled companies must first be approved by Congress.
Lewandowski will allow 57 people to speak in the hearing, according to documents seen by Reuters. Union leaders will feature among the speakers.
State-controlled oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA suspended part of its asset sale program in July to comply with Lewandowski’s order. (Reporting by Ricardo Brito; writing by Tatiana Bautzer)

What is a commissary kitchen?
A commissary kitchen is a shared kitchen that can be rented on a frequent or permanent basis to stock, prepare and cook food.
The commissary kitchen is a completely authorized commercial kitchen that matches all relevant food safety standards and is regulated and controlled by the local health department. You can also grow your food business with the help of a commissary kitchen in Austin.
The commissary kitchen provides food businesses to use the collaborative area in a variety of ways, from having access to shared equipment to the benefits of economies of scale and cost-sharing.
There are many types of commissary kitchens, from those that handle dedicated food trucks, to kitchen incubators that support business growth, to restaurants that make extra cash by renting out their empty kitchen space.
Who uses the commissary kitchen?
Renting a part of a commissary kitchen can be ideal if you run a food truck, pop-up restaurant, or catering business – or if you run several restaurants and can use the prep kitchen as a production hub.
There is a growing trend towards delivery restaurants, many of which utilize commissaries like ghost kitchens.
These establishments have no storefronts and rather use delivery alternatives to sell food directly to consumers. Seasonal food businesses also benefit from the versatility of commissary kitchens.

Published in Environmental Research Letters, 2023
Abstract: The Amazon biome, spanning nine countries, has one of the highest rates of deforestation worldwide. This deforestation contributes to biodiversity loss, climate change, the spread of infectious diseases, and damage to rural and indigenous livelihoods. Hundreds of articles have been published on the topic of deforestation across Amazonia, yet there has been no recent synthesis of deforestation drivers and deforestation-control policy effectiveness in the region. Here we undertook the first systematic review of papers published between 2000 to 2021 that have causally linked proximate and underlying drivers and policies to deforestation outcomes in Amazonia. In the 155 articles that met our inclusion criteria, we find that causal research is concentrated in Brazil, and to a lesser degree Peru, Ecuador, and Bolivia. There has been little study of the Guianas, Venezuela or Colombia. Large- and small-scale agriculture linked to improved market access and high agricultural prices are frequently researched proximate drivers of deforestation across the heavily researched regions. In the Guianas research focuses on mining with little focus on underlying causes. Research on infrastructure expansion, mining and oil extraction and on technological, sociocultural, and institutional factors remains sparse. Many public and private policies have been found to be effective in controlling deforestation across the biome, with protected areas standing out as particularly successful in slowing deforestation, vis-à-vis supply chain approaches. Our findings indicate a greater need for research on: i) additional deforestation drivers beyond agriculture and economic factors; ii) the complex interactions between different drivers and deforestation control policies; iii) causes underlying deforestation in low or new deforestation areas; and iv) the dynamics between Amazonian subregions and countries. Better understanding of all deforestation drivers and the effectiveness of existing deforestation mitigation policies is a prerequisite for completely halting deforestation in Amazonia.

Rose Drayton lives on the Edge, between the world of the Broken (where people drive cars, shop at Wal-Mart, and magic is a fairy tale) and the Weird (where blueblood aristocrats rule, changelings roam, and the strength of your magic can change your destiny). Only Edgers like Rose can easily travel from one world to the next, but they never truly belong in either.
Rose thought if she practiced her magic, she could build a better life for herself. But things didn't turn out how she planned, and now she works a minimum wage, off the books job in the Broken just to survive. Then Declan Camarine, a blueblood noble straight out of the deepest part of the Weird, comes into her life, determined to have her (and her power).
But when a terrible danger invades the Edge from the Weird, a flood of creatures hungry for magic, Declan and Rose must work together to destroy them, or the beasts will devour the Edge and everyone in it . . .

The Facts: Despite a report that Lynch had reached a deal with the Raiders that would set the stage for a trade, things haven't progressed past that point. As far as Raiders GM Reggie McKenzie is concerned, the time to make a decision is coming soon. "At some point, you'd like to know," McKenzie said. "Prior to the draft is that point."
Diehards Line: After losing Latavius Murray in free agency, the Raiders have a significant need at the position, with Taiwan Jones, DeAndre Washington and Jalen Richard representing the depth chart at the moment. Worth noting, HC Jack Del Rio told reporters that he left his meeting with Lynch believing the running back had given "every indication he was excited to play for the Oakland Raiders. ...” Stay tuned.


Checking my electronic mail yesterday, I found a message from Facebook that made me chuckle.

Her performance of the music was nonetheless let down by poor sound high quality, disappointing contemplating her powerful presence with 20 backup singers and confetti cannons.
But when her so-so efficiency — another medley, of course, with hits like I’m Coming Out” and Take Me Higher” — left some vocal precision to be desired, you couldn’t help but smile as she invited greater than a dozen members of her household (including Tracee, her daughter) onstage to … properly, it wasn’t quite clear.
