Economic systems are identified by how they answer the three questions of what, how, and for whom to produce. Similarly, they are theoretical representations of economies found throughout the world that demonstrate the distribution of control between people and the government. The economic systems exist on a continuum, with command economies on one side and the free markets on the other side. The united States has a free market economy but with a notable amount of government intervention, therefore it has a mixed economy.
The government acts as a provider ND regulator of the United States’ mixed economy through setting legal limits and sensible policies for economic functions for the people. In the United States, decisions are made by Individuals acting as participants within the market. The federal, state, and local governments, however, make laws protecting private property and regulating certain areas of business. Practiced In the united States today, capitalism would be best defined as an economic system in which individuals own the factors of production, but decide how to use them within legislated limits.
Nearly identical to capitalism, the free enterprise system is another definition for the American economy. The free enterprise system emphasizes that individuals are free to own and control aspects of production, yet expands on the fact that government places legal restrictions on freedom of enterprise. Zoning regulations, child-labor laws, hazardous waste rules, and other regulations limit free enterprise to protect the anticipated entrepreneur and his or her surroundings. When such rules are established, freedom has is boundaries and is considered a reveille.
Consumers In a market economy have the advantage of being able to choose among products. Contrasting to freedom of enterprise, freedom of choice applies to only the buyers, not the sellers. Although buyers are free to make choices, the market has grown into an increasingly complex place. A consumer’s choice determines the success or failure of a good or service. The profit incentive is the desire to make a profit. This motivates entrepreneurs to establish new businesses, expand existing ones, and change the kinds of goods and services produced.
The government has Intervened In various areas of the economy to protect buyers. From a simple requirement for companies to place warning labels on potentially dangerous products to regulating the prices that a company may charge, the government arbitrates in company dealings to help keep all consumers relatively satisfied and secure in their purchases. One of the most Important characteristics of capitalism and free enterprise Is the governments, but rather held by a person or persons.
The right to all property-land, easiness, automobiles, and whatever else the person can afford-aids in the production of wealth and prosperity for all. According to the Constitution, the government has no power to seize private property unless payment is given to the individual. What are called the rights of property are the rights to risk investment and acquire new ways of producing while learning the benefits and downfalls of ownership. Among the economic goals of Americans are economic freedom, economic security, economic stability, and economic growth.
To obtain these goals, individual opinions long with government decisions must fall into equilibrium. In order to have a well- functioning enterprise system, individuals are required to take on certain economic responsibilities. Such responsibilities include attempting to rise as a successful entrepreneur and obtaining the knowledge of possible government policies while analyzing the consequences of those policies. The United States illustrates the characteristics of a mixed economy by combining freedom of choice, the desire to make profit, and the right to property with government regulations.
A free enterprise economic system is a crucial component of capitalist economic policy. It dictates that the government will not unduly interfere with economic transactions. No capitalist economy in practice is completely free enterprise, and a political debate has occurred for centuries concerning how desirable that would be.
Most economic systems operate under a constant possibility of government intervention in economic transactions. The free enterprise model states that transactions should generally not be interfered with by governments. Specifically, ownership of property and the freedom to create the means of production are guaranteed under a free enterprise model.
Economic systems that guarantee the fruits of labor to the people who produce such labor are generally shown to be more productive and create more wealth than economic systems in which the value of labor does not accrue to the person doing the labor, according to "Free Enterprise: The Economics of Cooperation," published by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. Many countries, including those that do not subscribe to a capitalist economy, have adopted free enterprise principles to grow their economies as quickly as possible.
Many varieties of the free enterprise model exist around the world. Singapore and the United States are frequently cited as having among the most free economies, with less interference by government than their economic peers. However, both retain the right to regulate businesses across various domains. The European free enterprise model, in comparison, has much stricter regulation, and accrues to the government a greater right to interfere in private transactions. Both of these models can be called free enterprise and capitalist, but they operate very differently in pragmatic terms.
The free enterprise system gains its strength from principles that were laid out in Adam Smith's "Wealth of Nations" over 200 years ago. His theories have been borne out by experience, and economies that run on government fiat rather than Smith's "invisible hand of the markets" theory tend to grow at a much slower pace than free-market models, states "Free Enterprise." However, a lack of regulation in the name of free enterprise can arguably lead to negative effects, as has been debated after the 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.
Libertarian political philosophy states that the only true free enterprise economy is one that is entirely unfettered by regulations. However, there has never been a large-scale implementation of this idea. In common use of the term "free enterprise," both the United States and Europe enjoy a free enterprise system, even though regulations are imposed upon them.

Every business has a starting point. For Japanese arcades, one of them was on department store rooftops.
You might remember last year we told you about a “raid” on an old ship that managed to save a bunch of classic arcade games. Now let’s see what happens when a raid doesn’t have such a happy ending.
Taito has unveiled a service called “Taito Online Crane” that allows people to play crane games via their smartphones or computers. Winners get their prizes delivered straight to their homes, free of charge.
“First you need to register,” the staffer at Club Sega tells me. “Then after you do that, you can put money on your IC card.” The lowest option is 1,000 yen ($9), and the highest one is 200,000 yen ($1,817). The staffer adds, “And this machine only accepts cash. But first, I need to take your fingerprints.”
Groom Kazuhiro and his bride Yukiko were married today at iconic Tokyo arcade Mikado. As the game center points out, the couple’s first matrimonial quarrel was Tekken 6: Bloodline Rebellion.
Here’s an interesting little series of interviews with a crew of Westerners who live in Tokyo and play Street Fighter III, an 18 year-old arcade game they don’t really have regular access to back home.
Fighting game matches can come in many forms, from quick blowouts to drawn-out bouts, but one Japanese arcade has introduced something quite unique, holding tournaments for the game Galaxy Fight in which the rounds last only two seconds each.
If you’ve ever wondered what a North Korean propaganda clip for arcade gaming looks like, well, it apparently looks like this.

In many places, arcades seem to have nearly, if not completely, vanished. Yet, in Japan, they continue to hang on.

It’s been over twenty years since a Bomberman title has been released in Japanese arcades. So, I assume, Konami decided it was time for Bombergirl.

Nibbler is a snake arcade game similar to Pac-Man where the player grows longer the more things they eat. In Nibbler, however, there aren’t any ghosts chasing you.

Entertainment behind the scenes
Dita Von Teese says Parisian men appreciate their showgirls more than Americans, no matter what their age. Perhaps with an eye on Hollywood’s ageist reputation, the 35-year-old dancer is even considering a move from L.A. to the French capital.
“I’m going to move to Paris like all the other glamorous stars of the past that moved to Paris,” the brunette said at the London launch of her new underwear range for Wonderbra, inspired by the 1940s and 1950s. ”There are certain places that men always appreciate their glamour girls and especially their showgirls of any age, so I really am going to move to Paris, I think.”
Von Teese, something of a throwback to movie stars of another era, is a big departure for the underwear range. At the press launch in London’s Covent Garden she posed for photographers swinging on a giant model of one of her bras wearing a peach dress and ultra-high heels.
“My first job when I was 15 years old was working in a lingerie store,” she told Reuters. “I worked there for many years and my obsession and love of lingerie is really what made me become a pinup model and burlesque dancer.”

Twice Baked Potatoes
4 large baking potatoes
1 cube butter
1 cup sour cream
salt and pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Scrub potatoes really well and place on a cookie sheet. Coat all sides with oil, (vegetable, canola, olive) This helps to make it crispy. Poke the potatoes multiple time with a fork. (this keeps them from exploding in your oven) Bake at 400 for just over an hour. Or until they are cooked through.
When they are done, allow them to cool slightly. When they are cool enough to handle, lay potato on a side and slice long ways taking off the top 1/3 of the potato. Scoop out the 2/3 portion of the potato into a bowl, leaving a little bit around the edges to provide support. (Scoop out the 1/3 portion also if you need extra potato to add to the mix.)
Smash or mix potato "pulp" with softened butter, sour cream and salt and pepper. (you can add a little milk to make it more creamy if you want) If you use egg beaters, be sure not to over mix or it will get too sticky.
Fill the potato boat with the mixture and top with cheese. (we like sharp cheddar) Bake for another 10-15 minutes or until heated through
Top with your favorite toppings, like green onions or bacon and serve immediately.

Curse of Naxxramas has added over 30 new cards to the game as well as introduced raiding, which will let players venture into the depths of Naxxramas. The raid itself will feature five wings – the first being free, and the rest requiring gold or real money – which will unlock progressively over the course of the next five weeks.
We’ve done some detective work and rounded up all of the cards, so you can start planning your new and improved Naxxramas themed decks. Which is your favourite?
Need a hand in building your Hearthstone decks? You should probably check out ourbest Hearthstone decks for beginners.
The Anub’ar Ambusher is a Rogue card. It’s a generous four mana minion with five attack and five health. When it dies, it triggers its Deathrattle ability which will return a friendly minion to your hand. Use it to reuse Battlecry minions or recast a minion close to death.
Avenge is a Paladin secret which gives one of your friendly minions +3/+2 when another one of your minions dies. For only one mana, it’s especially useful for buffing a minion that has a strong effect when one of your weaker minions in the early game bites the dust. Very efficient, as long as you have more than one minion on the board..
Baron Rivendare is one of legendary cards from Curse of Naxxramas. For four mana he’s got a puny one attack which is dwarfed by his seven health. Following the theme of the set, his unique affix allows all minions to trigger their Deathrattle abilities twice. That’s two 4/4 Nerubian spiders with the Nerubian Egg, but also draws two cards for your opponent with Dancing Swords.
Dancing Swords is a three mana minion which possesses a mighty four attack and 4 health. The trade off is that when it dies, the Deathrattle allows your opponent to draw an additional card. Ouch.
The Dark Cultist is three mana Priest card that has three attack and four health. The kicker is when it dies, it gives another friendly minion +3 health. Useful for buffing inherently weak minions or making your Taunt minions more tanky.
For only three mana, Death Lord commands a huge amount of survivability with eight health. Even if it only has a relatively small two attack, it can easily take care of any early aggression from rush decks. The trade off comes when it perishes: it puts a random minion from your opponents deck on the battlefield.
The Warrior weapon Death’s Bite is almost a counterpart to the Paladin weapon Truesilver Champion. The only difference is that when it’s either destroyed or used up all its durability, it deals one damage to all minions on the battlefield. Very good in activating Enrage abilities.
Duplicate is a three mana Mage secret that’ll allow you to recycle your minions. When one of your minions dies it will trigger, and put two copies of it in your hand. This is best used with any minion that has a Battlecry ability so you can trigger it multiple times.
The Echoing Ooze is a pesky card. Two mana for a puny one attack and two health, but at the end of every turn it will summon a copy of itself. Couple it with some minion buffs and maybe some Knife Jugglers and your opponent will be in trouble, fast.
Feugen is our next legendary card. For five mana, you get a four attack and seven health minion. It’s pretty average at a first glance, but when paired with Stalagg it can produce explosive results. Keep reading to find out!
Haunted Creeper is a two mana one health and two attack spider, and when it dies it summons two 1/1 Spectral Spiders. Since it’s a beast, this card Is a must have in a Hunter deck that’s running either Scavenging Hyena or Starving Buzzard.
The legendary Kel’Thuzad is an eight mana six attack and eight health minion, which also has an extremely powerful passive ability. At the end of the turn, it will summon back to the battlefield every friendly minion that died. It probably won’t last long because your opponent will want to remove it, but you can easily double up on any minions that have a Deathrattle ability.
Loatheb is another legendary card. It’s a straight five mana for a five attack and five health minion, but comes with an interesting Battlecry: enemy spells cost five more mana next turn. This can cripple decks that rely on comboing off cheap cards such as Rogues, or Mages that want to throw spells in your face.
The Mad Scientist is a two mana two attack and two health minon, that’s Deathrattle will put a Secret from your deck onto the battlefield. Whether you can manually choose which Secret is placed isn’t known, but if your deck has any it’s a good addition no less.
I hope your not afraid of spiders, because Maexxna is a mammoth arachnid with a deadly poison. For six mana you get a deceivingly weak two attack and eight health minion, but any minion that she damages is instantly destroyed. You’ll want to save your removal for this card.
Nerub’ar Weblord is a two mana minion with one attack and four health. It’s interesting ability is that it makes minions that have Battlecry abilities cost two more mana. This applies to both your and your opponent, so just remember that.
Nerubian Egg is a two mana minion which at a first glance is relatively useless. It has zero attack and only two health. However when it is killed – via your opponent or yourself – it summons a Nerubian with four attack and four health.
Poison Seeds is an answer to a much wanted board clear for Druids. For four mana it destroys all minions on the battlefield, and replaced them with 2/2 Treants. If your enemy has bigger creatures than you, this can even up the odds a bit, or combo well with a Starfall.
Reincarnate is a Shaman spell that will destroy a minion, but then resurrect it will full health. For only two mana, it’s a handy way to instantly trigger a Deathrattle or even get rid of pesky buffs on an enemy minion.
Shade of Naxxramas is a three mana card which has two attack and two health. It also has Stealth, and gains +1/+1 at the start of your turn. This thing could get pretty big if left untouched.
The Sludge Belcher is a five mana three attack and five health Taunt minion. It’s effectiveness persists after death, where it summons a 1 / 2 Slime with Taunt to continue protecting your other minions. Brilliant to stop rush decks in their tracks.
Spectral Knight is my favourite card of the set. It’s a five mana four attack and six health minon that can’t be targeted by spells or Hero powers. The only way your opponent is going to remove him is by throwing minions at him, untargeted random cards or board clears. Very strong indeed.
Stalagg is paired with the other legendary card Feugen. He has an impressive seven attack and four health for only five mana. His usefulness doesn’t stop there: if both Stalagg and Feugen die in the game, they summon Thaddius. More on him below.
The Stoneskin Gargoyle is a three mana minion with a puny one attack and respectable four health. The unique feature is that it regenerates its health at the start of your turn, making him tough to take down. Buff him with more health and damage, plus the Taunt ability and your opponent will have a tough time breaking your defenses.
Thaddius is a gigantic minion, rocking a huge eleven attack and health. While not an actual card you can play, he can only be summoned if both Feugen and Stalagg have died during the game, but he can be a game ender if allowed to retaliate against your opponent.
The Undertaker is a relatively cheap card at one mana, and also weak to boot with a measly one attack and two health. The kicker is that he grows stronger (+1/+1) with every minion you summon which has Deathrattle (an affix which does something when the minion dies).
Unstable Ghoul is a two mana minion with one attack and three health. It’s got Taunt, and also deals one damage to all minions when he dies. Unless he’s Silenced, it’s pretty much an inevitable time bomb.
The Voidcaller is a Warlock card. It’s a four mana minion that has three attack and four health. When it dies, it’ll put a Demon from your hand onto the battlefield. You can use him to accelerate your board presence by getting something big and meaty down early in the game.
Wailing Soul is an interesting card. For four mana you get a three attack and four health minion. It also has a Battlecry that Silences your other minions. Why would you want to Silence your minions you say? Well if they’re Frozen or have any other unwanted debuffs, you can remove them. It’s definitely more useful than you think.
The Webspinner is a Hunter card. It’s really cheap: only one mana for a one attack and one health minion. When it dies however, it’ll draw a random Beast card. Really handy for those Beast decks.
Our final card is the Zombie Chow. One mana for a two attack and three health minion, that will also restore five health to the enemy hero on death. Don’t use it, it’s bad.

Why should you care?
Chronic abdominal pain is a common problem that affects up to
20 percent of all school-aged children and teens. Despite how many
youth struggle with abdominal pain, there is no clear agreement
among medical professionals about how best to manage it.
A Multidisciplinary Approach
Abdominal Pain Program (APP) at Children's Mercy, we use a
multidisciplinary approach that involves initial evaluation and
follow-up by a team of professionals, including a pediatric
gastroenterologist and pediatric psychologist and, occasionally,
biofeedback therapists, dietitians, and other health professionals.
Using this model, we take into account the many factors
(biological, psychological, and social) that we believe can
contribute to abdominal pain in children.
Who is impacted?
Everyone who experiences, lives with, and/or cares for a child
with chronic abdominal pain is affected by it. We know that some
kids suffer emotional and social difficulties as a result of their
physical symptoms that complicate their treatment course and
greatly affect their quality of life, as well as the quality of
life of those who care for them. Without proper treatment, we know
that abdominal pain and the related consequences don't get better
on their own. In a recent review of our clinic patients, we
found that the typical child has experienced abdominal pain for
about two years at the time of their initial evaluation.
What does this all mean?
We ask children and their parents, when they first arrive in our
clinic, to rate the child's current level of pain and how much the
pain interferes with the child's ability to go to school, spend
time with family and friends, do chores, etc. When the child
returns for his or her first follow-up visit, families tell us
whether they think their child is doing worse, the same, or
better than at the time of their first appointment. Since February
2011, the average child's pain rating, at the time of
initial evaluation, was classified as "mild" to
"moderate." The average child's disability
rating indicated that pain was "occasionally" to
"regularly" interfering in everyday activities.
By the time children returned for their first follow up visit
(typically 2 to 8 weeks from the time of initial evaluation), about
30 percent reported that their symptoms were
nearly or completely gone and they were back to
all of their normal daily activities. An additional
26 percent reported that their pain was better
but was still interfering with their daily activities to
The first follow up visit is just the initial step in our
comprehensive follow up program. Children who do not show
improvement by the first follow up visit continue to be followed by
our multidisciplinary team. Medication and other treatments are
added or removed, as needed, and patients' progress is closely
monitored. We are committed to helping all children find ways to
live unimpaired by abdominal pain.
Progress Toward Abdominal Pain Resolution Over 1 Year in the APC
What do our patients and families say?
In a recent survey, nearly 90% of the families
seen for their initial evaluation visit in the APP reported that
they were "very satisfied" with the visit.
Furthermore, over 90% of these same families
said that they intended to begin all of the
treatments (e.g., medications, biofeedback, and/or
individual therapy) recommended at their child's initial visit.
And, finally, when asked what specifically about the APP
evaluation was helpful to them, roughly half highlighted their
appreciation for the integrated medical and psychological
perspectives. Specific comments included: "Knowing that
they are looking at the whole picture, not just one-fourth of it" and "The
mind-body connection - having both doctors meet with us together
was very helpful." In sum, families said that having the medical
and psychological teams working together resulted in a treatment
plan in which all the components made sense and were tailored to
their child's unique needs.

The Texas House speaker race is back in the spotlight.
Rep. Warren Chisum, R-Pampa, said this morning that he has gathered the needed signatures to require Rep. Larry Taylor, R-Friendswood, chairman of the House Republican caucus, to convene a meeting before the start of the session to choose a speaker candidate from the party's ranks.
For the first ever, the party will have a super majority of 101-49 in next year's session.
For the first ever, House Republicans wll have a super majority in next year's session. But they still hope to add one more seat to their 101-49 advantage.
The campaign of Dan Neil, the GOP challenger in House District 48, said he would seek a second recount. In the initial count Neil lost to incumbent Donna Howard, D-Austin, by 16 votes but in a recount he lost again by 12 votes.
As he did four years ago, state Rep. Roberto Alonzo has filed a bill that would move the Texas presidential primary from the first Tuesday in March to the first Tuesday in February.
With his House Bill 318, which he filed Thursday, the Dallas Democrat hopes that Texas joins California and more than half-dozen other states that hold their primaries in what is nationally known as Super Tuesday.
Thursday was Veterans Day, a paid holiday for state employees. So, if it weren't for some tourists, the State Capitol would have looked empty.
But the race for Texas House speaker remained just as intense as in recent days, particularly yesterday when chamber leader Joe Straus publicly scolded Rep. Warren Chisum for the way he sees the Pampa Republican waging his campaign to unseat him.
Today's developments included Rep. Ken Paxton, R-McKinney, throwing his hat into the ring. So far, Paxton and Chisum are the only declared challengers Straus has.
The Texas House speaker race took a nasty twist Wednesday when an East Texas lawmaker withdrew his support for chamber leader Joe Straus and a conservative group urging all representatives to replace the San Antonio Republican with a more conservative member added 1,750 signatures to their original list of 46.
Today was a busy day at the State Capitol because, as expected, a good number of legislators started filing bills for the 82nd Legislature which is still two months away.
Not much from the members of the Panhandle/South Plains delegation though. Rep.-elect Charles Perry of Lubbock, filed two while Sen. Robert Duncan, also of Lubbock, co-authored one and so did Sen. Kel Seliger of Amarillo.
Rep. Warren Chisum of Pampa, who is usually among the first to file, didn't do it this time. Could it be because of the speaker race he is in?
They don't decide on who the speaker of the Texas House of Representatives should be but today more than 40 influential conservative activists from across the state signed a letter urging the chamber's members to elect "a more conservative speaker."

In a nutshell
It all sounds formulaic enough: a famous face is to make a TV series. Granted, John Cleese is by no means as famous as he was, and perhaps for many younger viewers he might be entirely unknown; Fawlty Towers and Monty Python were both created in the 1970s.
The topic though 'cancel culture' won't.
In the series, called John Cleese: Cancel Me, the actor will ask whether it is possible to make good comedy without someone taking offence, and will meet some famous faces who have found themselves on the receiving end of cancel culture.
Cleese will also meet some of those calling out celebrities, companies and brands for their comments and actions.
Talking about the central topic of the new series, Cleese admitted "there's much he doesn't understand".
However, he stated he was "also delighted to have a chance to find out, on camera, about all the aspects of so-called political correctness."
Cancel culture - a very brief explainer
Doubtless you've probably heard of the term cancel culture. As Vox correctly reports, it can mean many things to many different people and the list of those who have been cancelled, or should be cancelled is diverse and never-ending.
At its core it's about accountability, although as with many aspects of our digitised lives it has morphed. The Twitter account of Mr. Tayto briefly felt the flames of cancel culture when it thought it needed to post a message following the death of Gay Byrne. The tweet was subsequently removed.
As Aja Romana writing in Vox says: "Early on, it most frequently popped up on social media, as people attempted to collectively “cancel,” or boycott, celebrities they found problematic."
Inevitably, cancel culture precipitated furious and often vicious debates around free speech, political correctness and "wokeness".
The actor LeVar Burton recently suggested that rather than framing these debates in terms of cancel culture, the reference should instead be recast as “consequence culture".
Not one to shy away from controversy
Cleese infrequently pops up in the media, usually with reference to a view point.
Reminiscing of London in 2019, he said it was "not really an English city any more" but subsequently defended himself from accusations of racism. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said the comments made him sound like his character from Fawlty Towers.
Cleese said his comments were "culturalist" rather than racist.
The actor, who is believed to live on the island of Nevis in the Caribbean, also criticised the BBC last year when it temporarily removed an episode of Fawlty Towers over “racial slurs” and “outdated language”.
Ian Katz, chief content officer of Channel 4, recognising just how thorny and heated the issue of what's deemed OK to say in the public sphere and how it's policed, gave his full backing to Cleese, saying that "there are few people better equipped to stride into it than John, a comic legend who combines genuine curiosity with a healthy disregard for what anyone thinks of him."
We'll have to see whether an 81-year-old white guy can get to grips with an issue that defines life in the twenty-first century.

Griffith reminds everyone what a fine comic actress she can be in this affectionate satire about the movie business. She plays a star who is kidnapped by a cult leader (Dorft) to be used as part of his revolutionary assault on mainstream cinema. Griffith queens it as an egomaniac star who is made over to look more and more like Waters' departed muse Divine. The gags are fast, furious and usually funny ( the cinema multiplex they attack is showing Patch Adams: The Director's Cut and Gump Again) and movie in- abound. The scene where Griffiths rejects her limo because it's the wrong color really happened (Ginger Rogers did the spurning). Thank God for John Waters.

How much help does Caris LeVert need?
Jamal Crawford — automatic bucket, all-time cheat code and pantheon-level problem — has reportedly agreed to a contract with the Brooklyn Nets ahead of the NBA's restart in Orlando. The Athletic's Shams Charania had the scoop:
Since the news of the season resumption broke, the Nets have had Deandre Jordan, Spencer Dinwiddie, Taurean Prince and Wilson Chandler opt out for various reasons. Those decisions, in addition to existing injuries to Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant and Nic Claxton, will leave the East's current No. 7 severely understaffed in Orlando, but Crawford should add a layer of entertainment to their eight seeding games and possible postseason run.
Crawford, after all, famously scored 51 points in his last NBA while with the Phoenix Suns on April 10, 2019. With the performance, he became the oldest player in NBA history to score 50+ in a game (39 years, 20 days), just edging out Michael Jordan (38 years, 315 days).
He also became the first NBA player to score 50 with four different teams. His first burger came as a member of the Bulls, with whom he spent the first four seasons of his career, on April 11, 2004. Across 19 NBA seasons, Crawford has scored 19,414 points and won three Sixth Man of the Year awards.
"It was disappointing, it was shocking," Crawford said of not being signed for the 2019-20 season when he joined the Bulls Talk Podcast back in April. "My character is solid, I won teammate of the year two years ago. Besides the 50-point game, I had my highest scoring month in April (2019). I averaged 31 points in the month of April off the bench. So I thought without a doubt I showed I could still play, my character is solid, I thought without a doubt (I would get signed)."
Crawford added that even though the pandemic impacted his pickup routine, he had been able to stay in shape via a fitness center he has in his home. He'll be ready for the opportunity.
"Absolutely," he said when asked if he still hoped to find a home in the league. "I'm training as if I'm playing, or I'm going to play. Part of that obviously is for me, because I'm never out of shape, so I love to play anyway. I'll be playing somewhere, whether it's here or LA Fitness, I'll be playing somewhere. But hopefully it's back in the league."
At that point, not even Crawford could have guessed his next organized basketball would come in a Disney World bubble. But here we are. Whatever he does, it will certainly be worth watching.
In the run-up to the 2020 MLB season, the South Siders have all of Chicago buzzing.
And at the forefront of the hype train: star shortstop Tim Anderson.
It makes sense. Never mind Anderson bumping his batting average from .240 to .335 (good enough for the AL batting title) between 2018 and 2019, and cementing himself as a franchise cornerstone. He’s also proven a staple in various communities around the city, and won hearts with the infectious swagger he plays the game with.
Now, he’s evoking comparison to another Chicago sports icon. Tuesday night, Anderson tweeted a pretty sleek design of him mirroring the famous Michael Jordan ‘Wings’ poster. The caption: ‘Make Me Like Mike.’
Make Me Like Mike 🖤 pic.twitter.com/EVgpfC2pnR— T A 7 (@TimAnderson7) July 7, 2020

Gary Nolton, the photographer who took the Jordan picture, said in an interview with Highsnobiety that he believed the original photo was taken some time in the summer of 1989, which would have marked the offseason before the Bulls’ final defeat at the hands of the Bad Boy Pistons. The next year, 1991, marked the beginning of the first three-peat. In some ways, that picture symbolizes the precipice of Jordan’s transformation from phenom to legend.
And while no one is expecting a run of the same dynastic proportions as the 1990s Bulls from this iteration of the White Sox, seeing Anderson embrace the city’s sports tradition, and his own potential, is a fun sight for fans of any distinction.
Could the Sox make a run at contention this year? Could Anderson take another leap towards established superstardom? Or will this season mark the South Siders' final tribulation before breaking out of their rebuild, à la the Bulls of yesteryear?
In an abbreviated campaign flush with unknowable variables, anything certainly seems possible.


Cybersecurity, a broad and arguably somewhat fuzzy concept for which there is no consensus definition, might best be described as measures intended to protect information systems—including technology (e.g., devices, networks, and software), information, and associated personnel—from various forms of attack. The protection of information sent through cyberspace has implications for personal privacy, business, and national security. In addition, law enforcement and national security agencies need to be able to effectively utilize cyber capabilities in order to gather evidence, identify and surveil potential threats, and take appropriate enforcement action. Ever since the earliest days of the telegraph and telephone communication, the U.S. Congress and state legislatures have sought to balance the competing interests of security and privacy.
The issue of legislating cybersecurity has proven to be a difficult area for actual improvement. This is in part due to the rapid change in technology, in part due to increasing polarization within the U.S. Congress, and in part due to competing fears of wrongful use of cyberspace by criminal and terrorist elements on the one hand and the scope of government surveillance efforts made public as a result of disclosures made by Edward Snowden, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, and others on the other. As of December 2016, the cybersecurity legislation that exists in the United States is generally considered outdated, while efforts to reform these laws or enact new ones remain unsuccessful.
Several enacted statutes address various aspects of cybersecurity. Some notable provisions are in the following acts:
A number of cybersecurity-related bills were introduced in the 111th, 112th, 113th, and 114th Congresses, but few passed. Those that did tended to focus on education, workforce development, and other related aspects of the discipline, as opposed to laws regarding cybersecurity measures and authorities specifically. The early months of the 115th Congress did not include any cybersecurity proposals.
One of the most significant pieces of proposed legislation debated was the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA), a bill introduced and debated in 2012 and 2013 but never passed, which was intended to amend the National Security Act of 1947 in order to add provisions concerning cyber threat intelligence and information sharing.
CISPA was introduced and passed in the House of Representatives in 2012, but it was not passed by the Senate, in large part because the Obama administration believed that the bill lacked adequate confidentiality and civil liberties safeguards and that the president would veto the bill. In February 2013, the bill was reintroduced and again passed in the House but stalled and was not voted on by the Senate.
On July 10, 2014, a similar bill, the Cybersecurity Information Sharing Act of 2014 (CISA), was introduced in the Senate. Although CISA was generally regarded by many to have addressed the flaws perceived in CISPA, it was opposed by civil liberty advocacy groups and was not voted on by either the House or Senate in 2014.
During 2013 and 2014, cybersecurity-related legislation was prompted by the disclosures by government contractor Edward Snowden of widespread National Security Agency and other intelligence community surveillance. The USA FREEDOM Act would have amended the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978 (FISA) in a number of ways intended to promote protection of privacy and greater transparency of the intelligence surveillance programs of the federal government. As with both CISPA and CISA, however, these efforts generated significant public discussion but failed to pass the Congress.
In the waning days of the 113th Congress, Congress approved a package of four cybersecurity bills after a series of votes in the House and Senate, which was thought to increase the likelihood that some cybersecurity-related legislation could be enacted by the end of the year. None of the bills addressed any of the larger, more contentious cybersecurity issues, such as immunity for private companies that share cybersecurity threat information with the federal government. Instead, the bills focused on narrower cybersecurity issues and the structures and procedures of the federal agencies that oversee cybersecurity.
However, none of these pieces of legislation was ultimately enacted into law. It remains uncertain whether the future political climate will allow Congress and the president to enact any meaningful cybersecurity legislation, despite almost universal agreement that reforms are needed both to improve security and protect civil liberties.
Another piece of cybersecurity legislation that was successfully enacted was the Cybersecurity Act of 2015, which was signed into law by President Barack Obama on December 18, 2015. This legislation aims to help government and businesses better defend against cyberattacks by creating a framework for the voluntary sharing of cyber threat information between private entities and the federal government, as well as improving the sharing of cyber threat information within agencies of the federal government. It also provides for immunity from lawsuits for businesses that share cybersecurity information with the government.
While this legislation was hailed by many in the national security and law enforcement community as an important measure to improve cybersecurity and enhance effective and legitimate surveillance efforts, the measure was criticized by many in the civil liberties community as further encroachment on the privacy rights of individuals.

Dating sim ponies datinggoddess com
You can hop into a game, chat up a sexy alien (more on that later) and marry the love of your life - all without leaving your sofa.
Dating sims, or relationship simulation role-playing games (RS-RPG), are a video game subgenre of simulation games, usually Japanese, with romantic elements.
The gameplay opens when you feed your new boyfriend carrots in a pen and try to guess the right things to say to him so he'll like you more.
We won't spill too much ink on the insanely fucked-up gender dynamics the game is enforcing (you are trying to curry favor with a horse and your personality is as successful as it matches with his), but it's pretty remarkable.
Wanting to date and have sex with a horse is not a particularly new phenomenon.

Fuel Cells are seen as a future alternative to fossil fuels. Many institutions are performing fuel cell research with a focus on commercializing the technology. Typically, an experiment includes a bench scale version of a catalytic process reaction in which the inlet composition is tightly controlled, and the outlet components vary based on fuel cell conditions.
In order to determine conversion and efficiency, researchers need to be able to measure the composition of the fuel cell inlet and outlet. Typical laboratory mass spectrometers have been used for years to identify the unknowns. However, the MAX300-LG Laboratory Mass Spectrometer’s ability to continuously measure the known components, as well as the unknowns, is what makes the MAX300-LG the ideal analyzer for fuel cell research. This laboratory mass spectrometer provides the sensitivity and detection limits needed for these types of reactions, especially for h ydrogen measurements.

Measuring and reducing abortion-related stigma
Abortion remains a stigmatized behavior, negatively impacting women who seek abortion, providers who offer abortion, and their communities. Abortion stigma is a new and growing area of research, based on a conceptual model first created by Ipas. To operationalize understanding of abortion stigma, Ipas researchers have developed a quantitative scale to measure stigmatizing attitudes, beliefs and actions toward women and men who are associated with abortion. Tested in Ghana and Zambia, the scale has also been applied in other country settings, and will be used to assess the effects of stigma-reduction community interventions as part of research currently underway by Ipas and partners in Uganda and Ghana.

Washboard abs have always been hard to come by, until now. At Laser Skin Solutions Jacksonville in Jacksonville Beach, FL, we offer Trusculpt 3D, a revolutionary body contouring treatment that helps dissolve stubborn fat in the locations that need it most: the abdomen and the flanks. Thanks to this effective, fat-burning treatment, you can finally get that six-pack and showcase your midsection with pride.
Does TruSculpt 3D Work With Any Skin Type?
The benefit of this body contouring treatment is that it works on all skin types, even on skin with tattoos. No one skin type is excluded from this treatment; it is open to those with all different skin types. Regardless of whether you have sensitive or acne-prone skin or anything in-between, this treatment will not negatively impact your skin itself in any way. It will target and treat stubborn fat cells in the abdomen area without hurting the surrounding skin or tissues.
What Is TruSculpt 3D?
TruSculpt 3D is a body contouring treatment that heats fat cells with radiofrequency heat energy and then destroys those cells. It is a device equipped with a handpiece that emits radiofrequency energy at a controlled temperature to kill fat cells so the body can remove them naturally.
How Does It Work?
This treatment uses radio-frequency energy, which is the gold standard when it comes to noninvasive fat reduction treatments. It uses precise yet controlled heating at certain skin depths to effectively destroy fat cells. Once these fat cells are destroyed, the body removes them over several weeks via the lymphatic system. As these fat cells are removed, you will see your problem areas become slimmer, more defined, and contoured.
What Areas Can It Treat?
This treatment effectively targets and destroys fat cells in the midsection and abdomen as well as the love handles or flanks. If you have additional areas of your body with stubborn fat that you want to treat, you can discuss them with Dr. Lezaic during your initial consultation.
How Many Treatments Will I Need for the Best Results?
The total number of treatments needed to get the best results entirely depends on what areas you want to treat, as well as your body composition. We typically advise patients to schedule two to three treatments every four to eight weeks for best results. This is a convenient and manageable treatment schedule that will not monopolize your time and schedule but will deliver some amazing results.
How Much Fat Can I Lose?
Everyone who commits to this treatment has one pressing question. Patients want to know just how much fat they can lose from this treatment. Most patients lose up to 24 percent of the total fat volume in their treatment area. Best results come from following your unique treatment plan and attending the recommended number of sessions that will help you effectively target that stubborn fat in your problem areas.
Will I Need to Prepare for My Appointment?
There is nothing that you need to do in advance to prepare for your appointment. All you have to do is show up, and we will take care of the rest. You can wear loose clothing so that you are comfortable during the entire process. Most patients arrive in activewear so that they can feel comfortable during their treatment.
What Can I Expect During a Treatment?
Before your treatment, you will undergo an initial consultation with Dr. Lezaic, who will help identify which area of the body will benefit from treatment. She will also review your treatment goals, discuss the treatment and the type of results you can expect, and confirm that you are a good candidate for treatment. Then, we will schedule your first appointment.
When you arrive, Dr. Lezaic will prepare your treatment areas and then begin the process by applying the truSculpt handheld device to the skin on the treatment area. Once the device makes contact with the skin, it will deliver gentle energy pulses to the area. These pulses last four minutes each, and then she will move the device to another area for another four minutes. This process will continue until all of your target areas have received adequate energy pulses.
A Comfortable Process
As the treatment process progresses, we will carefully monitor the device and its temperatures to ensure optimal comfort during the entire process. Most patients do not require any kind of topical anesthetics or active cooling to endure the treatment comfortably. You can simply lie back and relax during the treatment and rest in the fact that you are one step closer to the defined and contoured midsection of your dreams.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Long Do Sessions Take?
Depending on how many areas you choose to treat, your session should last approximately 60 minutes. When you come in for your initial consultation, we can give you a better idea of how long you can expect your treatment to take. This treatment is a convenient way to target fat, but it will not monopolize your time. You will spend an hour or less at each session, but you will be losing fat in your treatment much faster than you would at the gym.
Is There Any Downtime?
There is no downtime associated with this treatment. You can resume your normal daily activities immediately after your session is complete. During your initial consultation, Dr. Lezaic will review the entire treatment and will tell you exactly what you can expect post-treatment so that you know what to expect when you walk into your appointment.
Are Results Permanent?
Once you undergo this treatment and the radiofrequency energy effectively destroys the fat cells in your target areas, those cells will be gone for good. They will not return, but that does not mean that any existing fat cells in the area will not expand if you happen to gain weight post-treatment. You are responsible for maintaining your results.
Most patients have no problem maintaining their results because they are already committed to a healthy lifestyle before starting this treatment. They also love their results so much that they motivate them to continue striving toward looking their best day in and day out. Eating a healthy diet and exercising consistently is the best way to avoid weight gain, which will negatively impact your results.
Is It Safe?
This treatment is FDA-approved to target and treat stubborn fat. It provides men and women with a way to finally reach their goals and break through their body plateaus. It is a completely safe option that is highly controlled with no adverse risks or side effects. You can rest assured that you choose a safe and effective treatment that will deliver results when you choose this treatment to meet your body goals.
What Are the Benefits?
Areas with stubborn fat can negatively impact your confidence in many ways. When abdominal fat is one of your primary concerns, it can keep you from wearing certain clothes, attending pool parties, and even swimming while on vacation.
However, this treatment can change everything. It can give you the confidence that you need to wear the clothes you never thought you could, put on a swimsuit with pride, and enjoy your life free from the self-consciousness that comes when you are not happy with the appearance of your midsection.
When you schedule this treatment, you will not have to plan around downtime, go under anesthesia, or endure a long recovery. You can simply show up, undergo treatment, and return home. You won’t need anyone to drive you to and from your treatment. It will be like showing to the gym, minus the working out part.
You’ll Look and Feel Better
Once your body removes the dead fat cells from your target area, you’ll begin to see a change in that area. You’ll look and feel slimmer and lose inches as the total fat volume in the area decreases. Your clothes will fit better, and you may drop a size or two based on which area you treat. You’ll feel more confident in a swimsuit and in those clothes that you may have never felt bold enough to wear.
When stubborn fat stands between you and your goals, it can be frustrating, to say the least. When you finally reach your body goals and get a tighter and toned core, you won’t feel that frustration that comes when your diet and your exercise routine don’t make a dent in affecting your stubborn fat.
More Muscle Definition
It’s no secret that layers of stubborn fat can keep you from your goals, but they can also hide your muscle definition. Some patients who come in for treatment can finally see their six-pack because TruSculpt gets rid of the fat that’s been hiding that definition for years. Additionally, any further muscle gains will be far more evident in your treatment area because you won’t have to break through a layer of fat to see those gains.
Who Is a Candidate?
Patients who are at or near their goal weight are the best candidates for this treatment. This treatment is intended to help fine-tune areas of the body with stubborn fat. It is not a weight-loss treatment, nor can it help treat and remove large, widespread areas of fat. The best candidates have realistic expectations and an awareness of what this treatment can and cannot do.
Ideal candidates should have a BMI of less than 30 and have areas of stubborn fat that they cannot address with diet and exercise alone. Whether you have finally reached your goal weight, have lost a significant amount of weight, or are a fitness enthusiast who needs to target that last bit of fat, we can help you reach your body goals in just a few short treatments.
Who Isn’t a Candidate?
TruSculpt is safe for most patients, but some individuals do not qualify for this treatment due to safety precautions. The following individuals do not qualify for treatment:
* Pregnant or nursing women
* Those who qualify as obese
* Individuals with cardiac pacemakers
* Those with internal defibrillators
* Individuals who have either malignant or benign tumors in their planned treatment area
* Individuals who have any type of metallic implants in the planned treatment area, such as joint replacements

"Good evening, we're Franz Ferdinand from Glasgow". Short, simple, to the point, and then to the tunes - it's a good way to go. Opener 'Bite Hard' is all fuzzy keys and jaunty piano, topped off with Kapranos' devilish vocals, the not-so-secret weapon at the heart of their success. His whip-sharp delivery could turn the phone book into an erotic thriller, with a permanently raised eyebrow and knowing smile. And then, after something off the new album, it's back to the hits we all know and love, breaking out 'Matinee' from their debut, bringing the first reaction and singalong from the crowd as we all reveal ourselves to all be fans of Terry Wogan.
Establishing a general pattern of alternating the old and new, they belt out the knowing tales of indie-art-funk-party tunes designed to get a crowd dancing. Innuendo and tension and barely but perfectly disguised sleaze comes from Kapranos as they show that their new material has given full vent to their hidden adolescent boy. Ok, it was always there - any band with songs about 'Darts of Pleasure' has to have a passing familiarity with the lyrical prowess of late 70s and 80s metal, and old single 'Do You Want To' has an cock-rock edge to the otherwise funky guitar as, keeping in theme, they allow us to repeatedly sing the "lucky, lucky lucky lucky" chorus to an extended climax.
'Twilight Omens' gets only its second live appearance, while a triple hit of 'Walk Away', 'The Fallen' and 'Take Me Out' takes us up to and over the edge, with the middle track becoming a mini-Queen-esque epic of funk and angst bouncing around all over the place but still as cool and tighter than a hipster's jeans while the latter track is just choppy guitar fun delivered with an impressive enthusiasm, despite probably having played it 1000 times in the 5 and a half years since their first Belfast appearance. Closing their regular set with the uber-indie disco sexually ambiguity of 'Michael' - dripping in tension and the biggest big of subversion to hit the mainstream since the likes of 'Walk On The Wild Side' and 'Lola', all you pretenders claiming the grey areas for the publicity, this is how its done properly - and 'Ulysses', which on this crowd's reaction is set to join their canon of must-plays.
The encore opens with the aforementioned 'Darts of Pleasure', like a lot of tracks, a bit messed up and grown from the recorded versions as they progress and keep life interesting for ourselves and them, giving the older material the dancier edge and flourishes so prevalent on their new album as they take on the likes of The Rapture at their own game. The encore also features their now customary multi-percussion funk-dance breakdown as they and their crew surround the drums on 'Outsiders', something that could be dismissed as a gimmick were it not so tight, and good. Closing with an incendiary 'This Fire' it's only afterwards their standards become apparent as we realise that it was hard to identify the tracks we didn't know and yet they still didn't find time for the likes of 'Jacqueline', 'Tell Her Tonight', 'Evil and a Heathen' and 'Eleanor...', lads come back anytime to play them.

New Delhi, Jan. 28 -- Tusshar Kapoor is having a good time with his one-time legal guardian Pramila Bothra, from his university days in the US. The actor is busy taking her out to different eateries in Mumbai, to give her a taste of Indian cuisine.
"Tusshar is keen to treat Pramila to different Indian delicasies. He is taking out time to show her some of the unconventional restaurants in Mumbai, which normally don't get listed in city guides," says a source close to the actor. Pramila was the 37-year-old actor's legal guardian when he was studying for his MBA programme in Michigan. The actor, over time, became very close to her and considers her a close friend.
"Pramila visits India every three to five years and ensures that she meets Tusshar," says the source.
The actor also made sure that she was put up at his place so that she has a comfortable stay in Mumbai. When asked about this, Tusshar, who was last seen in Shashant Shah's Bajatey Raho, says, "She is a lovely lady and I had a very nice time having her as my legal guardian in the US. She used to stay half-an-hour's drive away and I used to visit her quite regularly. She loves India so I am showing her around now."
