5.0 out of 5 stars
Their best ever album. Truly a future sound!, 6 Jan. 2000
This has to be one of the best ambient albums constructed with a wide variety of moods, from the thumping Track 4 (Slider) to the whale sounding 'Eyes pop skin explodes everybody dead' (Track 7). Throughout the album the incorporated samples accompanied by Eastern vocals sound to me like music that would be ideal for a Bladerunner like landscape. In one line: Eastern influence dark distorted ambient techno. Don't miss this!


Celebrating Greensward: The Plan for Central Park
On April 28, New York City will celebrate the 150th anniversary of the design for Central Park. Designed by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, Central Park today is one of America’s most important works of art and a treasured New York landmark. On April 28, 1858, the Board of Commissioners of Central Park chose the Greensward plan submitted by Olmsted and Vaux. In honor of this anniversary, the Central Park Conservancy and the Parks Department are planning a series of public events and activities.
Commemorative events and activities include:
• “Creating Central Park” panel discussion at the Metropolitan Museum of Art: Saturday, April 26, 2:30 p.m.
• “Celebrating Greensward” exhibition in the Arsenal Gallery: April 23 through June 19
• Behind-the-Scenes free walking tours of Central Park led by Central Park Conservancy staff: Sunday, April 27, 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.
• Renaming the 72nd Street Cross Drive as “Olmsted & Vaux Way” at an unveiling ceremony at Bethesda Terrace on Monday, April 28 at 11:30 a.m.
The story of Central Park’s design begins with a young British architect, Calvert Vaux, who moved to America in 1850 to create homes and estates for the Hudson River clientele of landscape designer Andrew Jackson Downing. Downing had promoted the idea of a large New York City park in his magazine, The Horticulturalist. After the accidental death of Downing, Vaux moved to New York City to establish his architectural practice.
The Bank of New York played a crucial role in the design of Central Park, when Bank Director John A.C. Gray, on the advice of Calvert Vaux, convinced fellow Park Commissioners to hold a design competition for the Park. In honor of this historic connection, The Bank of New York Mellon will support some of the events and activities during the anniversary celebration.
Vaux approached Park Superintendent Frederick Law Olmsted to enter the design competition with him. Their winning design plan named “Greensward,” comes from the English term for “unbroken stretch of turf or lawn,” and was seen as innovative and visionary, something they knew had never been seen before.
The massive landscape of the Park is entirely man-made with the exception of the rock cutouts seen throughout the Park. The majority of the large meadows within the park were created by draining the swamp and filling them with tens of thousands of cartloads of soil. The lakes within the Park were filled by the same running water that fills the bathtubs and kitchens sinks throughout New York City. Today, Olmsted and Vaux are considered to be the founders of the profession of landscape architecture in America.
One of the principal reasons why the Greensward plan won the competition was its unique approach to addressing the need for at least four east/west traffic crossings. Ahead of their time, Olmsted and Vaux proposed to sink these transverse roads. This technological innovation - combined with strategically placed vegetation - creatively screens out the cross-town traffic from public view, freeing Park visitors of the noise and bustle of the City, thus creating what the designers’ referred to as “a single work of art.”
When the Greensward plan was selected in 1858, 106th Street was the northern terminus of the future Park, but it was modified in 1863 to add the land up to 110th Street. The landscapes of the Park were completed in 1873.
QUOTATION FOR THE DAY
“We act as though comfort and luxury were the chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something to be enthusiastic about.”
(1819 - 1875)

OC Office Campus Lands $39M Financing
- Nov 06, 2017
Working on behalf of Menlo Equities, HFF arranged a $39 million loan for Towne Centre, a 292,271-square-foot office campus in Foothill Ranch, Calif.
The three-building campus, located at 27042, 27051, and 27121 Towne Centre Drive, was completed in 1999 and underwent renovations in 2015 and 2016. The two-story properties feature more than 1,400 parking spaces. Tenants at Towne Centre, which is currently 77 percent occupied, include Cox Communications, Associa and Fujitsu. The asset sits next to the 241 Toll Road, multiple public transportation and dining options, as well as a Hilton Garden Inn.
HFF Senior Managing Director Kevin MacKenzie, Senior Director Greg Brown, Director Jamie Kline and Analyst Nick Lench represented the borrower. Earlier this year, MacKenzie also arranged the financing for a portfolio comprising 13 multi-tenant retail centers located throughout Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, North Carolina and Texas.
According to Yardi Matrix data, Menlo Equities acquired the office park in 2015 from MetLife Real Estate Investment for $33 million.

Three-time Formula 1 World Champion Sir Jackie Stewart last week hosted a reunion of former grand prix mechanics and engineers to help promote the rebranding of the Grand Prix Mechanics Charitable Trust he set up in 1988.
The biennial fundraiser, held to help raise awareness of the organisation – now known as the Grand Prix Trust – that helps injured and incapacitated F1 staff, was this year held at the Oxfordshire headquarters of the Williams team, and recognised seven decades of loyal and dedicated service.
Stewart welcomed many of the veteran F1 mechanics among the 150 guests, including 90-year-old Roy Golding, who helped mastermind the late-1950s rear-engined revolution at Cooper, and many of the Tyrrell mechanics who kept the Scot’s cars in world-title-winning condition in the early-’70s. BRM’s Dick Salmon, who guided Stewart to the first of his 27 wins, at Monza for the Lincolnshire-based team in 1965, was also singled out.
‘The talent in this room in fantastic. Be proud of what you achieved for Britain, the world leader in motorsport engineering. It was all started by you.’
Seventy-five-year-old Stewart paid tribute to the trustees, whose efforts to spread the Trust’s message have helped ensure that the past 18 months have been the busiest. They included familiar racing names Martin Brundle, Patrick Head and Jo Ramirez, as well as Mark Smith, Chief Enterprise and Technology Officer of Unilever, one of the world’s biggest consumer goods companies and now a sponsor of Williams.
Impromptu interviews took place on stage and from the floor, with long-time McLaren mechanic Neil Trundle, current Red Bull team manager Jonathan Wheatley, Lotus legend Bob Dance (still working at 80) and Michael Schumacher’s former Benetton spannerman Greg Field all contributing to the reminiscing.
But it was Stewart who had the final word, directed at the sport’s unsung heroes: ‘The talent in this room in fantastic. Be proud of what you achieved for Britain, the world leader in motorsport engineering. It was all started by you.’

'Shared Emotions' - a creative collab at Werribee Gorge, by Yakub Ogunsina and Sean Nabos
“I wouldn’t call myself political, but I’m aware, and I get frustrated… and use poetry to express.” - Yakub Ogunsina, poet and creative director of series, ‘Shared Emotions’, a series that ‘aims to express and reflect on shared struggles and pains of ethnic minorities.’
An experiment with friends recently at Werribee Gorge resulted in this set of images and words, created by Yakub Ogunsina (words / creative direction) and Sean Nabos (photographer). Fresh out of high school, Yakub’s concepts and poetry began unfolding in collaborations this year, partly out of wanting space for creative expression,
“There was a really heavy push to do Science etc. at school, and at the end of year 12 I was thinking about what I could do, and you know, everyone has a creative side. I met some people in Melbourne and I just fell in love with the vibe after meeting other creatives, like singer Price Johnson, so I guess that’s how it all formed, honestly, a bunch of mates.”
Yakub and Sean’s approach in this series, is to parallel threads of concepts in the poetry, to the feeling and vibe of the models and locations. Playing with the themes of identity and belonging, the series brings together the shared emotions of friends through a process that is also spontaneous and random -
“ ..we went to Werribee Gorge, everyone was running late.. the weather was dodgy… but we captured what was there.”
Excerpts from ‘Shared Emotions’, below:
Sadness and Gloom
We felt gloom when Trayvon Martin was shot in the back of the head.
All because a neighbourhood watch captain, viewed him as a threat.
We felt sadness when we were young..
And.. we would play with our friends blissfully.
And then.. we would see their mothers call them and whisper into their ears.
Immediately after, our friend would then say…
“My mum says I have to go now”
And we all know the reason why…
And at one point we went through that same struggle
When… in our ignorance we attempted to soften their hearts.
Show them that the few that misbehave do not represent us.
That… “they” are not “us”.
It does not matter than aI am of noble Yoruba lineage.
Or if my ancestors were the great sailors of the Ga-Adangbe tribe.
Or if I was beautifully melanated like the Nuer tribesmen.
Certain people will still have percepions about all who share our blessing.
Our Black skin…
They simply cannot and will not see the beauty of our blessing.
Happiness and Cheer
When Usain Bolt became the worlds fastest man, we felt that.
The “To Di World” pose was well-abused by the little brothers.
The future men.
The small pikin.
When the French national football team won the world’s most prestigious tournament …
With a 53% Black team, we felt that.
Despite the fear of a “Black France”, we proved them wrong.
Despite the humiliation of our brothers and sisters around the world, we proved them wrong.
When our brothers and sisters do great, we share the same Joy.
When our brothers and sisters are vindicated in the biased courts, we share the same cheer.

Sometimes in life, things don't happen the way we want or go the way we think they should. Where once there was a feeling of security and certainty, suddenly there is confusion and fear. I know the latter feelings very well. Several times over the past years, the floor has been ripped out from under me a few times. I know what it feels like to be in the free-fall of uncertainty and vulnerability, wanting to land but scared of the impact. Sometimes, as scary as the free-fall can be, it is nowhere near as frightening as the questions about what is to come. There have been times then it seemed easier to give up, to give in and just be done with it all. But then, for some reason, there is something that clicks, shifts and for some inexplicable reason, there was the hope that things would be ok and the faintest belief that it would all work out.
Just to be clear, I am not only talking about the trials and tribulations in life. Sometimes, the most amazing things can feel as intensely scary as the hard times. In my case today, it is about opening up and putting myself out there, way out there, even though I have no idea what will happen. I feel like there are just so many skeletons in my past, mistakes I've made and things I've done I'm not proud of. I find myself wanting and even needing to show someone and at the same time being terrified of what will happen when they see. I don't know exactly why I am scared. I guess there are just things about myself I don't really like to look at, so showing those things to someone else is beyond intimidating. I am trying to walk in vulnerability and not let it shut me down, make me pull away or do any of the usual things I do when things get uncomfortable. I am trying to let myself be seen, really seen.
Over a decade ago, I heard about sawubona. It is a greeting used among the largest South African ethnic group, the Zulu. In its simplest form, it means "I see you." But deeper than that, it means “I see your being, your dignity, respect, humanity and personality.” It is a word that sees and acknowledges the essence and spirit of a person, thereby honoring the person and who they are. The usual response to sawubona is ngikhona, which means “I am here” or “I have been seen” and like sawubona, means a lot more. It says “My dignity and spirit have been recognized.”
In my life, I learned very early how to keep people at arm's length. I never really fit in, never really had friends until I was older. I knew I was different in ways I could not understand or articulate. I felt isolated, separated. I felt invisible and insignificant. Even at home, I felt like a stranger. Unseen, unheard and unknown. By the time I was an adult, it was something I kept around me. It kept the hurt out, kept me safe. It also kept me lonely, no more so than when surrounded by mobs of people. I wrote about it a few years ago.
On Loneliness - July 12, 2010
Throughout my life, there is one feeling that has always been there. Sometimes it is overpowering and at other times it lingers just below the surface, and I can feel it, waiting. Even now, in the one of the most populated places on the planet, I still feel so lonely. It is the feeling I wake up with, the one I carry around all day and one I feel when I go to sleep. Even when I am laughing, it is there in the background. It is not a feeling of loneliness that is about the longing for the company of other people, but more a feeling that there is nobody who truly knows me, nobody who is truly there.
Sometimes it is the most intense when I am with someone else. How is it possible to physically be so close to someone and yet worlds apart. Why is it the people who are most important to us can, without even knowing it, make us feel so completely and painfully invisible and alone? And then I don’t know what to do. So often I want to reach for a hand, just to hold it, to feel another person, but then there is the fear of them pulling away and the loneliness is so much easier to deal with than the potential rejection that seems inevitable.
And so I go it alone, even in the company of others. I am there with them, but not really, not totally, not in the way I would like to be. I see so many people that seem to effortlessly connect with others and I don’t understand them. I know people think I am that way. They see an exterior that looks shiny and polished, but the fact of the matter is, I have just learned to fake it. I shut people out as much as I can, and when I have to, I put on a huge smile, tell some jokes and tell the world that everything is fine. But it is all smoke and mirrors, slight of hand and it is getting more and more difficult to pull the rabbit out of the hat. When I do talk to people, I am clumsy and give the impression I am making everything all about me. But the fact of the matter is, I am just gasping for air, trying to stay afloat.
I hate feeling lonely, but I am not sure how to feel any other way. I am tired of putting on a smile when all I really want is just to be held, really held and cry. I want to feel safe, heard and seen. But it doesn’t happen and so I go on, waiting and wanting but growing more confident that it is never coming. And I am not sure I would know what to do if it happened anyway.
For the first time, I think I am beginning to really understand the meaning and importance of sawubona and ngikhona. I am learning they are essential to the life I want to lead. A life that is spent being seen, being recognized and loved, not only in spite of the past, but quite possibly because of it.

The Best Nootropics for Anxiety
Anxiety is quickly becoming one of the most widespread problems in modern life. Diagnosable anxiety disorders effect over 40 million people in the US alone, and virtually all adults occasionally struggle with milder levels of anxiety. But millions are discovering that nootropics for anxiety can make a huge difference.
While serious anxiety disorders may require counseling, behavioral intervention and other treatments, in many cases everyday mild anxiety responds reliably and rapidly to nootropics that address neurochemical causes of anxiety. Some nootropics promote relaxation and tranquility by enhancing the production and utilization of GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter that reduces central nervous system stimulation. Others modulate the way the brain processes dopamine and serotonin, neurotransmitters that have powerful calming effects.
Whether you struggle with social anxiety that makes you shy, performance anxiety that holds you back, or just a tendency to worry about everything, nootropics for anxiety could help you be at your calm, relaxed, confident best. Here’s our list of some of the most effective nootropics for anxiety.

ST. GEORGE - Joey Chauncey realizes he's on his own as he tries to recover from the chest-deep flood that filled his home on the St. Marys River a month ago.
He has fans blowing in every room and buys bleach by the case to repeatedly wash down the walls.
"We've got it bad," he said. "We've scrubbed and scrubbed. It's still kind of a disaster, but we can still stay here and work."
But just when he thinks his home of a year is dry and livable again, moisture seeps from his wood floors and walls, a white film forms and he has to move his furniture and start scrubbing again.
"We've got a little baby and can't have mold in here," he said. "The bleach smell is better than the mold."
Many of his personal possessions - at least the ones he could salvage - are drying outdoors on a deck. He decided to burn most of his sodden furniture because it was easier than hauling it 30 miles to the landfill.
"We got tired of hauling it off," he said. "You can only go to the dump so many times."
Once his house dries out, Chauncey plans to replace his buckled, warped wood floors with vinyl tiles.
He estimates it will take a year for him to get his house back in order and replace his losses, assuming the river doesn't flood again.
He's also still drinking bottled water because health officials haven't told him his well water is safe to drink.
Chauncey's neighbor, Marcus Reeves, isn't faring any better. But he's more accustomed to it, having been flooded out his home five times in the past 15 years.
"When that water comes through here, it's treacherous," he said.
Mold 4-feet high lines every room in his home and is spreading. Reeves said he plans to tear all the sheetrock from his home and replace it after everything dries.
Chauncey is struggling with the fact that the federal government isn't likely to provide any help in repairing his house or replacing his belongings.
The Lowes store in Waycross helped with the gift of a refrigerator and stove, he said.
What's disheartening, he said, is neighbors a few hundred yards away on the Florida side of the St. Marys River are eligible for federal aid for the same flood that soaked his property.
"When you go two bends up the river [in Florida] people qualified for help," he said. "I don't understand it."
Even though the damage was extensive enough to qualify Florida residents for aid, the accumulated losses in Georgia fell short of the qualifying threshold, officials said.
Monroe "Bo" Todd, Charlton County's emergency management director, said it's unfair that Chauncey and 14 other households forced from their homes by floodwaters in the south end of the county can't qualify for federal aid.
"It's the same storm that qualified Florida residents for help," he said.
Federal emergency officials are touring South Georgia, assessing Fay's damage to roads and infrastructure. If the damage is extensive enough, Georgia Emergency Management Agency spokesman Ken Davis said, residents could "quite possibly" qualify for help.
But federal regulations are very clear on how disaster aid is distributed. Unfortunately, it's on a state-by-state basis, Davis said.
"Public infrastructure damages may do it," he said. "But it may not be enough for individual assistance. Money is distributed on our lines of jurisdiction. Although it's not on the magnitude of Florida, the struggle [for Georgia residents] is apparent."
While there is a glimmer of hope federal aid will be offered to homeowners, Reeves said he's not expecting any.
If he were to qualify for assistance, Reeves said, he'd like to use it elevate his home so he won't have to worry about losing everything he owns when the St. Marys comes calling again.
"Between working and coming home and sleeping, I don't have much time to do nothing," he said. "Red Cross has come out here. That's the only help I've gotten."

FunctionCell surface glycoprotein receptor involved in the costimulatory signal essential for T-cell receptor (TCR)-mediated T-cell activation. Acts as a positive regulator of T-cell coactivation, by binding at least ADA, CAV1, IGF2R, and PTPRC. Its binding to CAV1 and CARD11 induces T-cell proliferation and NF-kappa-B activation in a T-cell receptor/CD3-dependent manner. Its interaction with ADA also regulates lymphocyte-epithelial cell adhesion. In association with FAP is involved in the pericellular proteolysis of the extracellular matrix (ECM), the migration and invasion of endothelial cells into the ECM. May be involved in the promotion of lymphatic endothelial cells adhesion, migration and tube formation. When overexpressed, enhanced cell proliferation, a process inhibited by GPC3. Acts also as a serine exopeptidase with a dipeptidyl peptidase activity that regulates various physiological processes by cleaving peptides in the circulation, including many chemokines, mitogenic growth factors, neuropeptides and peptide hormones. Removes N-terminal dipeptides sequentially from polypeptides having unsubstituted N-termini provided that the penultimate residue is proline.
Tissue specificityExpressed specifically in lymphatic vessels but not in blood vessels in the skin, small intestine, esophagus, ovary, breast and prostate glands. Not detected in lymphatic vessels in the lung, kidney, uterus, liver and stomach (at protein level). Expressed in the poorly differentiated crypt cells of the small intestine as well as in the mature villous cells. Expressed at very low levels in the colon.
Sequence similaritiesBelongs to the peptidase S9B family. DPPIV subfamily.
DomainThe extracellular cysteine-rich region is necessary for association with collagen, dimer formation and optimal dipeptidyl peptidase activity.
modificationsThe soluble form (Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 soluble form also named SDPP) derives from the membrane form (Dipeptidyl peptidase 4 membrane form also named MDPP) by proteolytic processing.
N- and O-Glycosylated.
Phosphorylated. Mannose 6-phosphate residues in the carbohydrate moiety are necessary for interaction with IGF2R in activated T-cells. Mannose 6-phosphorylation is induced during T-cell activation.
Cellular localizationCell membrane. Apical cell membrane. Cell projection > invadopodium membrane. Cell projection > lamellipodium membrane. Cell junction. Membrane raft. Translocated to the apical membrane through the concerted action of N- and O-Glycans and its association with lipid microdomains containing cholesterol and sphingolipids. Redistributed to membrane rafts in T-cell in a interleukin-12-dependent activation. Its interaction with CAV1 is necessary for its translocation to membrane rafts. Colocalized with PTPRC in membrane rafts. Colocalized with FAP in invadopodia and lamellipodia of migratory activated endothelial cells in collagenous matrix. Colocalized with FAP on endothelial cells of capillary-like microvessels but not large vessels within invasive breast ductal carcinoma. Colocalized with ADA at the cell junction in lymphocyte-epithelial cell adhesion. Colocalized with IGF2R in internalized cytoplasmic vesicles adjacent to the cell surface and Secreted. Detected in the serum and the seminal fluid.

Friday marks two years since the United Kingdom last hosted The Queen for a State Opening of Parliament.
Her Majesty formally opens Parliament at the beginning of each parliamentary session. As the legislature has not been prorogued for two years, Parliament is still officially in the 2017 session following the General Election which saw Theresa May lose her majority.
Parliamentary sessions usually last for one year, with The Queen taking her seat in the House of Lords in May or June to deliver her speech.
However, with the current political uncertainty, it appears there will now be no State Opening in 2019, meaning the 2017 session continues for yet another year.
This raises serious constitutional questions as The Queen only appoints a Prime Minister on the basis that they can control a majority of MPs in the House of Commons.
If The Queen’s Speech was delivered in today’s political climate, it is highly unlikely to pass the legislative stages which would result in a General Election unless Jeremy Corbyn could gain command of the Commons.
There is no law which dictates how often State Openings have to take place, and they do not have to occur every year. In 2011, the Conservative and Liberal Democrat Coalition decided to have a two-year Parliamentary session. However, there has never been a three-year Parliamentary session.
A State Opening usually occurs once a year after the prorogation of parliament.
Prorogation marks the end of a parliamentary session. It is the formal name given to the period between the end of a session of Parliament and the State Opening of Parliament that begins the next session.
Ultimately though, deciding when to prorogue Parliament is a prerogative power meaning it is at the Prime Minister’s discretion as to when this occurs.
With Theresa May due to step down next month and the race to find her successor being well underway, it is unlikely Parliament will prorogue anytime soon meaning we could be waiting a while yet for Black Rod’s traditional knocking on the door.

The welterweight division is by far the deepest and most star-studded division in boxing. The question is who’s the best?
The welterweight division has always been one of the best and most prestigious divisions in boxing. That still holds true today. The division is loaded with some of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport.
After months of being locked down due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the boxing schedule is now in full swing, except for the fact that fans will be unable to attend.
Some of the best and most intriguing fights in the upcoming weeks and months are happening in the welterweight division, headlined by undefeated WBC and IBF welterweight champion Errol Spence Jr. taking on former two-division champion Danny Garcia on Nov. 21.
Spence versus Garcia could change the landscape of the division. But for right now, here are our rankings on the top five welterweights in the world.
— FOX Sports: PBC (@PBConFOX) August 9, 2020
1. Errol Spence Jr. (26-0, 21 KOs) WBC and IBF champion
Spence is the only unified champion in the division and has been the most impressive fighter in the division over the past several years. He is a vicious body puncher and his boxing skills improve with every fight. This is why he’s regarded by most as a top-five pound-for-pound boxer in the world.
In his last fight against Shawn Porter, he retained his IBF title and won Porter’s WBC title via a split decision. A month later, Spence was involved in a single-car accident and was hospitalized. If he’s not physically compromised from his car accident, he is the best welterweight in the world.
2. Terence Crawford (36-0, 27 KOs) WBO champion
Crawford has all the talent in the world as he can box from both his usual southpaw stance and in an orthodox stance. Due to his dominance as a lightweight, junior welterweight, and now as a welterweight champion, he is recognized as a top-three pound for pound fighter.
Boxing fans are hoping that one day in the not too distant future we’ll see him fight Spence in what would be the best matchup in boxing. But network issues could prevent this mega-fight from happening.
3. Manny Pacquiao (67-7-2, 39 KOs) WBA champion
Pacquiao continues to defy “Father Time” as he is still one of the best boxers in the sport, despite the fact that he’ll turn 42 in December. In his last fight in July of 2019, he surprised many when he defeated the then-unbeaten Keith Thurman to win the WBA title via split decision.
Despite his age and the fact that he’s the only eight-division champion in the sport, he is still eager to fight the best. The question is how much longer can Pacquiao continue before age catches up with him.
4. Shawn Porter (30-3-1, 17 KOs)
Porter gave Spence by far the toughest fight of his career last September in what was a fight of the year candidate. Porter’s constant pressure and aggressive style frustrate and wear down his opponents.
There have been discussions that Porter may decide to move up in weight or fight the winner of Spence vs. Garcia sometime next year. But next up for Porter is a fight against undefeated Sebastian Formella (22-0, 10 KOs) at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, CA on Saturday, August 22.
5. Danny Garcia (36-2, 21 KOs)
Garcia’s left hook is one of the most devastating punches in boxing as it’s led to many of his victories. He’s what you expect from a Philadelphia fighter as he is tough, gritty, and never backs down from a challenge.
He’ll look to once again become a champion as he looks to upset Spence in November. He sits at fifth on this list, but if he pulls off the upset he’ll be ranked higher in our next rankings.
Keith Thurman (29-1, 22 KOs)
Yordenis Ugas (25-4, 12 KOs)

“Antitrust” or “competition law,” a set of policies now existing in most market economies, largely consists of two or three specific rules applied in more or less the same way in most nations. It prohibits (1) multilateral agreements, (2) unilateral conduct, and (3) mergers or acquisitions, whenever any of them are judged to interfere unduly with the functioning of healthy markets. Most jurisdictions now apply or purport to apply these rules in the service of some notion of economic “efficiency,” more or less as defined in contemporary microeconomic theory. The law has ancient roots, however, and over time it has varied a great deal in its details. Moreover, even as to its modern form, the policy and its goals remain controversial. In some sense most modern controversy arises from or is in reaction to the major intellectual reconceptualization of the law and its purposes that began in the 1960s. Specifically, academic critics in the United States urged revision of the law’s goals, such that it should serve only a narrowly defined microeconomic goal of allocational efficiency, whereas it had traditionally also sought to prevent accumulation of political power and to protect small firms, entrepreneurs, and individual liberty. While those critics enjoyed significant success in the United States, and to a somewhat lesser degree in Europe and elsewhere, the results remain contested. Specific disputes continue over the law’s general purpose, whether it poses net benefits, how a series of specific doctrines should be fashioned, how it should be enforced, and whether it really is appropriate for developing and small-market economies.
Daniel Greene, Omesh Kini, Mo Shen, and Jaideep Shenoy
A large body of work has examined the impact of corporate takeovers on the financial stakeholders (shareholders and bondholders) of the merging firms. Since the late 2000s, empirical research has increasingly highlighted the crucial role played by the non-financial stakeholders (labor, suppliers, customers, government, and communities) in these transactions. It is, therefore, important to understand the interplay between corporate takeovers and the non-financial stakeholders of the firm. Financial economists have long viewed the firm as a nexus of contracts between various stakeholders connected to the firm. Corporate takeovers not only play an important role in redefining the broad boundaries of the firm but also result in major changes to corporate ownership and structure. In the process, takeovers can significantly alter the contractual relationships with non-financial stakeholders. Because the firm’s relationships with these stakeholders are governed by implicit and explicit contracts, circumstances can arise that allow acquiring firms to fully or partially abrogate these contracts and extract rents from non-financial stakeholders after deal completion. In contrast, non-financial stakeholders can also potentially benefit from a takeover if they get to share in any efficiency gains that are generated in the deal. Given this framework, the ex-ante importance of these contractual relationships can have a bearing on the efficacy of takeovers. The ability to alter contractual relationships ex post can affect the propensity of a takeover and merging firms’ shareholders and, in turn, impact non-financial stakeholders. Non-financial stakeholders will be more vested in post-takeover success if they can trust the acquiring firm to not take actions that are detrimental to them. The big picture that emerges from the surveyed literature is that non-financial stakeholder considerations affect takeover decisions and post-takeover outcomes. Moreover, takeovers also have an impact on non-financial stakeholders. The directions of all these effects, however, depend on the economic environment in which the merging firms operate.

Could you tell a nomad bee from a blood bee or sharp-tail bee?
Honey bees grab most of the limelight with their produce used for food, drink, drugs and skincare products. But they are just one of the 180 species found in Wales.
The rest are wild bees - a mix of solitary and bumblebees - with more than half finding sanctuary in former colliery sites, according to experts.
Seven species have already been wiped out in Wales, Buglife Cymru has said.
And five more are on the brink of extinction.
The great yellow bumblebee was last recorded in 1974, the short-haired bumblebee in 1956 and the armed nomad bee in 1854.
Others are clinging on, including the large mason bee, found nowhere in the UK other than two sites in the Llyn Peninsula.
Bees feed on pollen and nectar from flowers - meaning the changing landscape affects where they thrive.
"Where many people see the lovely green rolling hills and fields, bees see nature-depleted bowling greens with no flowers in sight," said Sinead Lynch, from the Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
"This is why sites like coal tips, which have been left to naturally re-vegetate and left undistributed for many decades, have become such havens for wildlife."
The UK has lost 97% of its wildflower meadows since the 1930s, so coastal grasslands, dunes and even man-made brownfield sites are becoming increasingly important hotspots.
Ms Lynch said the greatest decline in the range of bumblebees came in the middle of last century because of changes in agriculture.
Species are now "restricted to small populations" and "increasingly vulnerable to a range of threats".
And she said these concerns were the reasons the Welsh Government's decision to scrap the M4 relief road was applauded by conservationists.
"That development severely threatened the population of Wales' rarest bumblebee, the shrill carder bee on the Gwent Levels," Ms Lynch said.
"It must be said, though, that there are some winners when it comes to threats like climate change.
"We're seeing new species coming into the UK such as the tree bumblebee and ivy bee, which, unlike most species, have been increasing in range across Europe and seem better adapted to urban areas."
Wales' 180 types of bees are "a diverse group", according to Buglife Cymru conservation officer Liam Olds.
He said: "Our 19 species of bumblebee, like honeybees, are social and live in colonies where there is a fertile queen and virgin female workers.
"Workers collect pollen wet, mixing it with saliva and then transferring it to their hind legs to pack into their 'pollen baskets' to transport back to the nest."
It is a lonelier existence for solitary bees, and without workers, they do their own foraging and nest building.
They also collect pollen differently - using a special brush.
"Sometimes solitary bees nest in large numbers where nesting conditions are suitable giving the impression they are social bees," Mr Olds added.
"But they aren't."
They usually set up home on bare ground, holes in deadwood and in hollow plant stems while bumblebees nest in areas such as long grass or small mammal burrows.
Some are innovative, such as the red-tailed mason bee which nests in abandoned snail shells.
The leafcutter bee does what its name suggests, cutting sections of leaves to line its nest.
How can I help bees to thrive?
A decline has been blamed on climate change, with bees emerging before flowers, pesticide use, pollution and disease spread by commercial honey bees and bumblebees.
To help them thrive, Mr Olds suggested homeowners could drill holes in pieces of wood or mow lawns less.
He added: "This will give plants such as dandelions, one of the most important plants for bees and other pollinating insects, an opportunity to flower.
"And generally, don't be too tidy in your garden… nature doesn't do tidy."
One threatened species, the bilberry bumblebee, has found a sanctuary in the flower-rich old colliery spoil sites of the Rhondda.
To help preserve them, local AM Leanne Wood was made species champion in the Senedd, something she called a "fantastic idea".
"It has helped raise awareness of rare species and the environments they need," she said.
"The learning involved will hopefully help to bring about strong public and government support for us to preserve and create the habitats and conditions for these wonderful creatures to not just survive, but thrive."


Georginio Wijnaldum has hit out at Everton for some of their challenges on his teammates in the Merseyside derby.
Ross Barkley and Ashley Williams escaped red cards and were only shown yellow cards for their tackles on Liverpool players.
Wijnaldum believes there should have been at least one red card for their rivals, stating his teammate could have been injured from one of the challenges.
Wijnaldum told SSNHQ: “The tackles, especially those from the players from Everton made on our players, it was hard to see, hard to accept, because I think you can play the game really hard, but not with the intention to give someone an injury.
“For me, my opinion, that is a bad thing, because you have to play the game fair. Of course you can play hard, to win, but not to injure the player, because that’s not part of the game.
“I saw a few, even in the replay, I saw a few tackles that had to be red.”


MELANIE C Tickets
Having sold out a headline tour earlier this year, Melanie C has announced a one off concert in the capital at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire on November 6th.
Tickets are available from 9.30am on 27th September at Aloud.com
Since going solo back in 1999, Melanie C has enjoyed 2 number 1 singles, 6 Top 10 singles and over 3 million album sales. But her success has not been confined to the UK. Her 2005 track 'First Day of My Life' charted at number 1 in five European countries and sold over 400,000 copies in Germany alone.
Self-starter Melanie C launched her own label, Red Girl Records in 2004 and has so far released two albums - 2005's 'Beautiful Intentions' and 2007's 'This Time'. 'The Sea', is the third album to be released on the label.


Tryng to make this a quickie I have taken a leaf out of Matt's book and have been trying to build in bulk. To that end I have spent some time each day working on the bogies for the coaches and for the two wagons that fell into my shopping cart at the same time.
The bogies are very straightforward. First there is the matter of cleaning off the flash, of which there is a reasonable amount. Once done it was a case of adding the brake blocks, slightly tedious to have to glue 24 of the same thing but you get into a rhythm.
The next phase is to organise couplings. I use Greenwich couplings and these can be easily fitted by cutting and filing a groove in the top of the bogie (one has a very fetching matching groove in the underside. Don't ask!). Once done, I file off the paint from the underside tail of the coupling and then superglue them in. I usually do build Greenwich coupling in bulk and discovered that I did not have a sufficient supply for this project so there was a temporary diversion when I spent spare time on Christmas Day folding and building the couplings. Now that is definitely an item best built in bulk!
Lastly, the brake assembly needs putting together. Here I fought the tempation to 'improve' it and lost. The pillar is fine and was glued on as is but the shaft on the brake wheel is just too long and the plastic shaft too fragile. I replaced the shaft with some brass wire. I also drilled out the handwheel to take the wire. They were superglued together and, once dry, I cut away some of the brake wheel shaft. This assembly was then glued to the pillar. It's definitely better to have less of a blob under the wheel but some of them are not as level as they should be.
After that it was a case of painting. I elected to hand paint so I didn't get paint in the axle boxes nor the rubbing plate but that meant tediously painting them first with primer (Humbrol Number 1). This struggled in a couple of palces to stick and I realised I had not washed the parts to remove any moulding remover but it wasn't too bad so I persevered. The topcoat was with a Games Workshop "Base Corvus Black". This is a good contenter for a colour that isn't too black but neither is it obviously grey. Again, this was tedious to put on.
Here they are, a collection of bogies sat on the diorama, just!

JONATHAN MONTALDO and THOMAS MERTON’S LEGACY
Over 100 international contributors reveal Merton’s influence on their lives and careers in honor of his 100th birthday on January 31, 2015. Already being called a spiritual treasure, this volume exposes Merton’s influence on generations past and yet to come.
A spiritual classic, this is the first exposition of Merton’s teaching on the true and false selves.
As timely now as when it was originally published in 1956, Thoughts in Solitude addresses the pleasure of a solitary life, as well as the necessity for quiet reflection in an age when so little is private.
A highly edited anthology of Merton’s private journals (seven volumes presented in seven chapters), The Intimate Merton is a HarperSanFrancisco best seller and has been translated in over ten languages.
A gift book edition of Merton’s published prayers illustrated with his beautiful line drawings.
Presents a year of daily reflections excerpted from Merton’s personal journals written during a particular month.
Presents a collection of meditations culled from Merton’s writing that is an accessible introduction to his work and major themes still relevant for the 21st century.
Thomas Merton: In My Own Words A volume in a series that presents Merton’s explanation of his monastic vocation “in his own words”.
The second volume in the Fons Vitae Thomas Merton series that includes Merton & Sufism, Merton & Judaism, and Merton & Buddhism. In addition to scholarly papers on Merton’s interest in Eastern Orthodox contemplative practice, the book features selections from Merton’s writing on the practice of “stillness” and praying in the heart.
The second volume in the seven-volume presentation of Thomas Merton’s extant private journals (1939-1968) published by HarperSanFrancisco. This volume presents his journals for the period 1941-1952.
A volume in a series that offers selections from various authors pertinent to the seasonal celebration of Lent and Easter. In addition to Merton’s writing, the volumes features passages from scripture, prayers composed by the editor and suggestions for keeping a journal during the use of the volume.
The insights of two dozen Merton scholars, biographers, friends, and monastic brothers are woven together into a rich and intricate tapestry. This book complements Morgan Atkinson’s documentary of the same name.

On Thursday former President Trump revealed that he is 100% thinking about running again for President in 2024 election. He also added that he would “certainly” consider Ron DeSantis as his running mate.
Former President Trump tells @MariaBartiromo that he is thinking about running again in 2024. "Yes, 100%. And the polls show it and everybody wants me to do it. 100% I’m thinking about running and we will I think be very successful." pic.twitter.com/rN4QByhQza

During an exclusive interview on “Mornings with Maria” on Thursday, former President Trump made comments about Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, noting that DeSantis is a “friend of mine” and “a great guy.”
Trump continued, “I endorsed Ron and after I endorsed him he took off like a rocket ship. He’s done a great job as governor.”
The former president also talked about his platform for a potential 2024 run which would include the border, tax increase, the energy industry, and protecting the Second Amendment.
During the interview, Trump also criticized Biden for excluding the ongoing border crisis from his first address.
When host Maria Bartiromo asked Trump of what “struck” him about Biden’s speech last Wednesday night, Trump said, “He didn’t discuss the border.”
Trump on Joe Biden speech in Congress-
"He didn't discuss the border and the fact that tens of 1000s of people are pouring into our country, many of them criminals, many of them people from jails, many of them doing acts that you don't even want to know about-" pic.twitter.com/XCylMOEvS7

Trump also added that “tens of thousands of people are pouring into our country” at “a level that has never been seen before.” He mentioned that those “pouring into” the U.S. include criminals and that the Biden administration “is doing absolutely nothing” to stop them.
“It’s out of control,” Trump said. He also warned that if the situation persists, “it will destroy our country.”
When a White House spokesperson was asked for comments about the matter, they did not immediately respond.
It can be noted that Biden scrapped a series of Trump’s immigration policies. This includes the construction of the border wall, having asylum seekers to remain in Mexico instead of being in the U.S. while they await for their cases to be heard. This move made by Biden led to a recird high influx of migrants at the borders, including thousands of unaccompanied minors that has overwhelemed immigration facilities in the past few weeks.
Trump emphasized that the Biden administration have to finish the wall. The former president also noted that the border wall “would have been completed if I didn’t get sued by Congress and the Democrats every single moment.”
Biden was asked what his plans are to solve the border crisis
He says he wants to “reestablish what existed before, where you can stay in place and make your case in your home country”

The former president also pointed out that the “Remain in Mexico” policy that was implemented under his administration was “a great thing.” However, the Biden administration “gave it up” and “now everyone is pouring into our country.”
“The border has to be brought back to where I had it,” Trump emphasized on Thursday. “We had it the best in the history of our country.”
On top of this, the former president also criticized Biden’s energy policies, taking note that the U.S. was energy independent for the first time and that the country will “not going to be energy independent in a couple of months.”
Trump said, “Your gasoline prices, look what’s happening to them. They’re going up, through the roof in a short period of time. I had them down below $2 and we still had a strong energy industry. Now they’re [the Biden administration is] laying everybody off.”
Trump also pointed to Biden’s energy actions which includes the cancelation of the Keystone XL oil pipeline project.
According to a study made by the State Department, there were 26,100 indirect and direct jobs that would have been created by the Keystone XL pipeline project, through its construction and supply chain that provides lodging, food, and health care to workers in small towns across several states.

Could you help me to examine the ways in which the author has dealt with the theme of Love and Death in "Four Summers"?
In this short story, Oates questions the commonly-held view that romantic love is something that brings fulfillment and is necessarily linked with marriage. This challenge to the establishment, which argues that romantic love is something that is what we need in order to give us a happy life and is a prerequisite to marriage, is suggested through Sissie's description of the marriages of those around her.
Through a discussion of her own parents' marriage and the marriage of Sue and her husband, the story argues that marriage is a binding and restricting institution that entraps those who are involved in them. If we think of Sue's marriage, we see that her husband spends his time deriding his wife whereas she makes fun of his alcoholism and his laziness. Sissie's own parents' marriage was one that was characterised by fighting and drinking. The rather fatalistic Sissie seems to present marriage as resulting in the death of romantic love. Note what she says of her own marriage to Jesse:
Like my parents' love, it will subside someday.
Love, and love's death, are therefore two key themes of this story where accepted and commonly-held views in society are lifted up and attacked through the action of the story. The text suggests the discomforting possibility that romantic love is not what we need to live a fulfilled life, and that marriage only hastens the demise of such a love.
The main subject of the story of the four summers revolves around family and relationship. Family and relationships come into being as a result of love. By mentioning the element of marriage, family and close bondings Joyce Carol Oates makes an attempt to portray and show the essence of love.

The married philanthropist with three kids has been helping those in need through her NGO, The Elderly and Poor,
So it was no surprise that last month, the immensely wealthy woman, together with her husband, Ambassador Abubakar, and Nollywood actor Chidi Mokeme stormed Kano and Bauchi to distribute cash, food items, clothes and other materials to Churches, Mosques and Quranic schools. In Islam this is known as Zakat.
Every year Muslims all over the world remove Zakat (some percentage) of their total wealth — both cash and property — and distribute to those in need. And judging by the amount of wealth accumulated by these property gurus, one can only shudder at the amount of money they doled out this year.

Second SSD? - 02-08-2009, 09:07 PM
The WWAN head on the motherboard looks like it is using a standard mini pci-e connector. Does anyone know of a reason why you can't simply solder on a mini pci-e connector and place a second SSD in this place? If they are using standard practices then it should just go to a controller and if a SSD is plugged into it, the drive should look just like a second drive. The problem is that since the mini 9 is such a small laptop they could have taken some hardware shortcuts to save on power and simply connect that header to a WWAN chip instead of the controller, or done something else weird like use the BIOS to make such an operation impossible. Does anyone know if I could use a simple connector (eg. http://mouser.com/Search/ProductDetail. ... TDxw%3d%3d ) and a second SSD to get a second drive? A reason why such a thing would be impossible?

somebody tried and didn't work.
the problem is that the sdd is mini pci-e just in the outside, but actually is a PATA drive in the inside, wich has nothing to do with normal mini pci-e slots.

MIAMI SHORES, Fla. – The 10th ranked Florida Gulf Coast University volleyball team equaled their school record 16-match winning streak with a 3-1 (26-30, 30-16, 30-17, 30-25) win over Barry.
Game one saw three early ties before a 5-1 Barry run. The Bucs would maintain a three point lead until midway when the Eagles went on a 3-0 run to knot the score at 16 apiece. From there, the game featured four more ties, with the last coming at 25 all. Barry finished game one with a 5-1 run to take the first game 30-26.
The Eagles responded y jumping out to a 10-2 lead that forced Barry to use both of its timeouts. Heather Van Olst led the charge early with three kills. A 6-2 run by the Bucs trimmed FGCU’s lead to 13-9, but that is as close as the Bucs would come in the second game. FGCU went on an 11-0 run behind the serving of Whitney Hendry and three kills by Patricia Gomes da Silva would give the Eagles an insurmountable lead.
Game three was close early, but with a 10-9 lead, the Eagles went on another huge run. This time a 10-0 run put game three out of reach. Hendry, again was serving during the decisive run as Ericka Fonseca recorded three kills in the rally. A 6-1 Barry run trimmed the lead to 23-15, but the Eagles regained control closing game three on a 7-1 run to close game three 30-17.
In the clincher, FGCU went on a 6-1 run with the scored tied at three apiece to take a 9-4 lead. From that point, neither team would string together more than two consecutive points until FGCU went on a short 3-0 run to take a 23-16 lead. The Bucs went on a 5-1 run from there to trim the Eagle lead to 25-22. The Eagles were able to hang on for a 30-25 win in game four.
Samara de Freitas led Barry with 19 kills while hitting .432 in the match. Lorine Durski and Nicole Castera each added 14 kills for the host Bucs. Laure Evans and Maria Romanowski contributed 15 and 11 digs respectively.

CarbonUSD, a dollar-pegged cryptocurrency token which was originally launched on EOS can now be swapped between EOS and Ethereum. The token is the first ever stablecoin that was launched on EOS. The announcement about the swap was made by Carbon yesterday. The coin’s developer, made the announcement in a press release adding that CarbonUSD’s interoperability across various blockchains is going to add value to the coin and the industry as a whole in the long run.
The stablecoin has been live on the Ethereum blockchain for the last two months but can now be transferred to the EOS blockchain on a user’s request. This will allow users to enjoy lower transaction fees and faster confirmation times. The company also provided a portal that gives users the ability to interact with applications on EOS. This portal has native smart contracts for one-to-one redemption to USD.
The cofounder and CEO of carbon, Sam Trautwein, said:
“It’s an honor that we are the first to produce a stablecoin for EOS and to play a significant role in the industry. Stablecoins play a critical role in providing value in the industry. We believe integrating this with EOS will help enhance its ecosystem”.
Hedge funds, institutional investors and exchanges will be the first to get access to the token. There are fiat deposits at Prime Trust, the Navada-based bank that partners with Carbon. The new CarbonUSD tokens will be produced as a result of this partnership. The cofounder of Everipedia, the popular decentralized encyclopedia and dApp developer, Sam Kazemian, had this to say:
“Stablecoins are crucial assets in the cryptocurrency industry. They will fuel a bull run in the next six to eight months”.
In September, Carbon launched an Ethereum-based version of the token This was around the same time many other stablecoins were launched. It was when Paxos, and Gemini dollar were launched. At the time, Carbon said that the CarbonUSD is based on a unique algorithm that will eventually set it apart from competing coins.
