Andy Haldane is something of a Bank of England lifer. He’s retiring this week from his position as chief economist, but he’s been working at the central bank for more than 30 years. Next he will take up a position as chief executive of the Royal Society for Arts, Manufactures and Commerce (RSA). Some of you will, I know, immediately think of his pension: imagine being about to receive 30 years’ built-up defined-benefit pension payouts. What joy.
But there’s a lot more to Haldane than a happy semi-retirement. He’s not just been a Bank of England lifer. He’s also been something of a Bank of England maverick. He’s been hugely critical of the financial sector, outspoken on bankers’ pay, forward thinking (not always in a way MoneyWeek readers would approve of) on the death of cash and certainly not shy when it comes to his opinions on all matters economic.
Last year, when much of the rest of his profession had gone, as he put it, “Chicken Licken” on the economy, he was telling them to stop “catastrophising” and start looking forward to a stunner of a recovery. We agreed with him on this (Haldane and I have some history of disagreeing, so this has been interesting).

Now he’s telling them the recovery has been so stunning that they might want to worry a little about inflation: last week he was the only member of the Bank’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to vote to tighten policy (oddly, we were with him on this too). So when we meet (on Zoom, sigh), this mix of optimism and mild anxiety is the first thing I ask him about.
The economy has made up the lost ground
How is the recovery going and how much do we worry about inflation? The economy is going “great guns”, he says. No wonder. The collapse was caused by the lockdown restrictions, so their removal would naturally produce an “atypically sharp bounce-back in activity and demand. And that is exactly what is happening. If anything, [it] is running ahead of everyone’s expectations. We see it on the high street [and] in the pubs and restaurants. We even see it in the GDP data”.
Thanks to this “really very punchy recovery” we have made up “all of the GDP ground lost from last year” – and that’s before we have even finished reopening. Will it carry on? Is he perhaps worried about the supply side of all this? The demand recovery makes sense. Most people have had their lost incomes replaced, so when they are allowed to spend they do. But the supply side is not so intact: there appear to be bottlenecks all over the place in the global supply chain.
Ever the optimist, Haldane thinks we should see this more as a “sign of success” than anything else. Sure there are some problems with, say, chip shortages and hospitality staff, but this is all about businesses and workers finding their feet. The problem is not so much the short-term shortages, but the “potentially adverse implications for price pressures” they might cause – and the worry that these may not be short-term.
This isn’t just about Covid-19 itself. The reaction to the pandemic has exacerbated some pre-existing trends. The first is globalisation. Even pre-Covid-19 we were seeing some “fraying, or in some cases retreat” in the ability of goods, services and people to move freely across borders. Brexit added to that and Covid-19 became an “additional amplifier”. Countries may now want to react to the fracturing of international supply chains during the pandemic by working to “build greater resilience into their domestic supply chains”.
Did EU migrants depress British wages?
The other trend to keep an eye on here is “changing patterns of flows of people”, in particular a slowing in the number of EU migrants coming to work in the UK. Add these up and the years of cheap labour and cheap goods may be over – as is their disinflationary effect. Will we see this in wages first, I ask? Pre-Brexit we were told (over and over again) that the millions of migrants did not affect wages on the downside (in other words, the rising supply of labour had no impact on the price of labour). But now, as fewer people come, we are told that this trend bolsters wages (the falling supply of labour does affect the price). So which is it?
Both, says Haldane. You can argue that migrant labour did not produce a “whopper impact on aggregate pay rates across the UK” for the simple reason that “migrant labour adds to both the demand and the supply side of the economy and is therefore a bit of a wash in terms of net excess demand”. But it is the case that in “certain sectors and in certain parts of the wage distribution, particularly the lower end... there were some signs of effects of migrant labour”.
I get the idea: it was the lower-paid who suffered from rising supply of labour. Good news then, perhaps, that it is also the lower-paid who are reaping the rewards of the lower labour supply: it is in hospitality and retail where wages are now rising the fastest. This could be transitory, says Haldane – perhaps as pay picks up and furlough ends, people will re-enter the workforce and we will be back to square one. But there is also a reasonable chance that we see a “mini-game of leapfrog between rates of inflation and rates of pay”. If so we will see, as we did in the 1970s and 1980s, “persistence in price pressures” beyond the immediate opening up of “bottleneck effects”.
Persistence to how high a level? The Consumer Price Index (CPI) numbers for May suggest that annual inflation in the UK is running at 2.1%. Haldane would not be surprised to see “a big figure three during the course of this year”. That might reflect energy prices feeding through into petrol and the like (oil prices were extremely low last year). But it might also reflect the “start of a slightly more persistent trend upwards”. Speak to any business and you will find them saying that all inputs are rising in price. “Not just petrol and diesel and gas, but bricks and concrete and cement and plasterboard and chips. And that’s before you get... to things such as houses and equities and bonds.”
Most of these price pressures have not yet popped up in consumer prices, so the “big question” is whether and when they will. Will businesses have to take the hit, or do they have the pricing pressure to pass them on to consumers? “Others of my central banking colleagues and brethren think those effects will be fleeting; I am of the view they could stick around for a bit longer... And therefore we could be looking at a breach of our 2% inflation target for a somewhat lengthier period than we are currently factoring [in].”
On Haldane’s “balance of probability” price pressures will build rather than abate into next year. Interesting (and scary). But if he thinks that “there’s a risk and indeed a rising risk” that 3% won’t be the peak, what makes him so sure that this won’t turn into a 1970s wage-price spiral? “The Bank of England.” When Haldane joined the Bank in 1989 “the best single predictor of interest-rate changes... wasn’t the path of GDP or inflation. It was whether Mrs Thatcher had lost a by-election. So it was all about the politics then”. Now the Bank is independent and works towards a “clear target” for inflation (2%).
An independent central bank is crucial
So while he worries that the target might be “persistently missed” over the next year as the rest of the MPC takes the view that the uptick in prices will be transitory, he has “huge amounts of faith” that it “will do the right thing” long before we get to anywhere near scary double-digit inflation. So should we worry about rising interest rates then? Right now the market is barely pricing in rate rises at all. But if Haldane is right on both inflation and the integrity of the inflation target, they will have to rise faster than most expect.
Haldane agrees. We are “a world away” from anything that anyone who experienced the 1970s and 1980s would consider tightening. “Incredibly low” rates globally will be with us for some time. That said, anything sharper than expected is going to come as a surprise as “the majority of people with mortgages these days haven’t really experienced a rate rise”. And that could magnify their impact. What might that do to house prices I wonder? After all, it’s a matter of scale. A rise in rates from 0.1% to 1% might sound small , but it is still a tenfold rise in interest rates. Haldane is not worried. First, thanks to the rise in popularity of fixed-rate mortgages (you’d be mad not to have one at the moment), people are “immunised” from rising rates in a way they never have been in the past. Even those now rolling off old ones onto new ones will be seeing unchanged or even lower rates than five years ago, “such has been the compression in mortgage spreads over that period”. What’s more, he reckons there are “pretty potent... forces acting on housing demand”. Pandemic savings (the “savings lake”) are translating into deposits at the same time as “attitudes towards housing are changing in the light of working from home”. That has created a supply-demand imbalance, which is why house prices are rising so fast (13.4% annualised on Nationwide numbers) – and possibly why they won’t be affected by a small rise in interest rates.
Would he buy a house now, at these prices, I ask? He dodges that one neatly: “Can’t afford to Merryn, I’m moving to the charity sector”. Instead I wonder if he’d buy bitcoin. You can listen to our discussion on this on the podcast, but I can summarise it for you in two words: probably not.
What about equities? This isn’t his area, but he notes there have been three uncertainties affecting markets over the last 18 months: Covid-19, the resilience of the financial system and Brexit. The uncertainties around the latter haven’t fully disappeared but they have dissipated. Virus uncertainty is (finally) going the same way. And the resilience of the financial system is no longer really in doubt either: “through the Covid-19 crisis, our financial system has stood tall”. That all implies that risk premiums should be falling: “I think you can make a… good case on fundamental grounds for the valuations... across UK markets”. In this there is, as regular readers will know, something else MoneyWeek and Haldane can agree on. Strange times.
Merryn Somerset Webb started her career in Tokyo at public broadcaster NHK before becoming a Japanese equity broker at what was then Warburgs. She went on to work at SBC and UBS without moving from her desk in Kamiyacho (it was the age of mergers).
After five years in Japan she returned to work in the UK at Paribas. This soon became BNP Paribas. Again, no desk move was required. On leaving the City, Merryn helped The Week magazine with its City pages before becoming the launch editor of MoneyWeek in 2000 and taking on columns first in the Sunday Times and then in 2009 in the Financial Times
Twenty years on, MoneyWeek is the best-selling financial magazine in the UK. Merryn was its Editor in Chief until 2022. She is now a senior columnist at Bloomberg and host of the Merryn Talks Money podcast - but still writes for Moneyweek monthly.
Merryn is also is a non executive director of two investment trusts – BlackRock Throgmorton, and the Murray Income Investment Trust.

Barring the movie going to cable (these things happen) of failing to get distribution (these things happen, too) will Glenn Close finally be back in the Oscar race next year at this time? She was last nominated for 1988's Dangerous Liaisons over twenty years ago. Since that Oscar regular heyday (5 nominations all within the 1980s) she's gone on to win 3 Emmys, 1 SAG and 2 Golden Globes for television roles.
The movie is based on the short story turned play The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs which the diva actress previously played on stage... before she was ever in a movie! I couldn't find a photo from the play but here's a review from 1982 (!) of Ms. Close's performance, the same year she first hit the big screen in The World According to Garp. Michael Gambon and Jonathan Rhys-Meyers co-star.

Oregon State infielder/outfielder Andy Atwood is transferring to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, the junior-to-be announced on Twitter Thursday afternoon.
“I would like to take the time to thank everyone at Oregon State who has helped me throughout the past two years,” Atwood said in a statement. “I extend a special thanks to all my teammates over this time who will be my family forever. The Oregon State baseball program has been a big part of my life, and although I wouldn’t trade my experience there for anything, it is time for me to follow a different path.”
Atwood played in 36 games with 21 starts for the Beavers in 2017, batting .239 with three doubles and 12 RBIs as the team finished with a program-record 56 victories. He hit .211 in 22 games (six starts) as a freshman.
The 6-foot-1, 170-pounder came to OSU from Seattle’s O’Dea High. Atwood will have two years of eligibility remaining for the Vaqueros, who play in the Division I Western Athletic Conference.
Earlier this month, reliever Scotland Church announced that he will finish his college career at Lubbock Christian University.

I just bought a pint of Breyer's 'no sugar added' vanilla ice cream and bought I found a perfect, sin-free, ice cream. Unfortunately, as I got home my wife told me it had Splenda in it.
I was sooooooooo surprised and disappointed as Breyer's proudly claims they only use natural flavors and colors. Well, it looks it does not extend to all ingredient nets,mas they load their product with a big dose of an artificial Splenda to make it waaaaaay tooooo sweet. Disgusting, in both the flavor and the corporate half-truths.
We ended up throwing away the whole pack. Will not purchase Breyer's again.

STICK SHIFT OR AUTOMATIC?
As the debate rages on, our own Philip Marchand weighs the pros and cons,
The march of technology leaves us with all sorts of choices: practical choices (do I want to bother this person by using the telephone or email?), esthetic choices (which is better: vinyl or digital recordings?), and so on.
Among drivers, the never-ending dispute is between manual and automatic transmissions.
I thought of this recently when I heard about a young man who bought a pickup but preferred driving his compact car with manual transmission because it was more fun.
I phoned my friend Liam Ellis, a University of Toronto student, who prefers driving with manual transmission.
“I find automatic in general is boring,” he said. “When you’re driving with a stick shift, you’re controlling the driving in a much more precise way. You’re a better driver: there’s something more masculine about it. It requires more attention, not just brake, accelerate, brake, accelerate.”
Of course, there’s a hazard in driv- ing with a stick shift. You can do it badly. You can end up stalling. And stalling, as Liam accurately puts it, is a truly ugly feeling.
Still the arguments continue, complicated by advances in the technology of automatic transmissions. It can no longer be stated with confidence, for example, that manual transmissions offer better fuel economy than automatic. Here are some of the general outlines of the argument. Brakes. Manual can downshift instead of braking. Therefore, manual saves brakes. Auto replies, “So what?” It’s a lot cheaper to replace brake pads than get a new clutch. Manual says, “I’ve never had to get a new clutch.” Besides, overused and defective brakes can also be expensive, along with transmission fluids and filters and what not. Simpler to build and maintain. Manual says, in general, it’s cheaper to repair and service a manual transmission than an automatic. Auto reluctantly agrees. Sports cars. Manual says there’s nothing like a stick shift on a sporty little roadster. The stick shift really engages the driver with the highway and the car. Auto agrees, but points out automatic shifts have long replaced manual in serious racing cars. The driver simply cannot shift faster than a good, modern automatic transmission. Vans. You don’t want manual transmission in a van. Driving a van that does not have a good, six-speed automatic transmission is like being made to do work the van should be doing. It’s no fun. Gridlock. It’s also no fun to be driving a car with a stick shift in heavy traffic, where you’re constantly stopping and starting. After a while, the palm of your hand encasing the knob on the stick starts to get sore. Safety. Having one hand on the wheel and one hand on the stick is good for you, Manual says. It prevents you from eating a hamburger and drinking a Coke while trying to drive, or using your cellphone or fiddling with the dials on the radio and trying to drive, all of which is a very good thing. Score a point for manual transmission.
There is also the argument, Manual says, that car thieves are less likely to steal your car if it has manual transmission because the thief probably does not know how to drive a stick shift. There may be some truth to this argument, but it is highly unlikely it will ever be proved with scientific evidence. Freelance writer Philip Marchand is a contributor to Toronto Star Wheels.

Available from: https://www.cmijournal.org/text.asp?2017/15/4/288/218646
Source: This is a summary of the study: Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study: Associations of fats and carbohydrate intake with cardiovascular disease and mortality in 18 countries from five continents (PURE): A prospective cohort study. Lancet. 2017. Summary prepared by Dr. Tony Abraham Thomas, Christian Medical College, Vellore, India.
Clinical Question: Are dietary fats, especially saturated fats such as butter, bad for the heart? Does high carbohydrate consumption affect health when compared to fats?
Authors' conclusions: (1) High intake of carbohydrates (>60% of energy) was associated with higher risk of mortality, while high consumption of fats and proteins was associated with a lower risk of total mortality and noncardiovascular disease mortality. (2) Total fat consumption and individual types of fats were not associated with cardiovascular disease or cardiovascular events such as myocardial infarction and death. (3) Saturated fat intake has an inverse association with risk of stroke.
Why this Study?
Diet is one of the modifiable risk factors in cardiovascular disease, and dietary fat has often been painted as the villain in diet, considered harmful to the health of the heart. A series of studies in the early 60s and 70s appearing to support this premise and dietary advice has often encouraged a diet with reduced fat content. As a result, many food products have been considered “heart healthy” because they contained less fats, irrespective of the amount of processed sugars within these products. The role of the sugar industry and the financial implications of promoting sugar as being harmless when compared to fats have also been implicated in promoting this idea. However, the association between diet and cardiovascular disease, especially the adverse role of saturated fats, has been the focus of tremendous controversy in the recent years, with several studies and editorials questioning the widely accepted role of fats., Many researchers have questioned the negative image of fats, stating that the evidence underlying the premise was often misinterpreted and was based on observational studies without considering several studies that did not support this., Moreover, most studies in the past were based on populations in North America and Europe, where the consumption of animal-based saturated fats was very high. Hence, are fats really as harmful to cardiovascular health as believed and is this applicable to all individuals across geographical boundaries? The Prospective Urban Rural Epidemiology (PURE) study is an attempt to answer this question. This is a prospective epidemiological cohort study involving 200 investigators who collected data on more than 135,000 individuals from 18 countries across five continents, with a median follow-up of 7.4 years.
A total of 135,335 individuals aged 35–70 years were recruited and followed up, and there were 5796 deaths and 4784 major cardiovascular disease eventsDietary variations – Carbohydrate intake was higher in China, South Asia, and Africa compared with other regions. In South Asia, about 65% of the population consume at least 60% of energy from carbohydrate and 33% consume at least 70% of energy from carbohydrate. The highest amount of fat consumed was in North America, Europe, Middle East, and Southeast Asia. Intake of protein was highest in South America and Southeast AsiaHigher carbohydrate intake (>60% of energy) was associated with an increased risk of total mortality (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.12–1.46, P = 0.0001)High intake of total fat and each type of fat (saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats) was associated with lower risk of total mortality (95% CI: 0.67–0.87, P < 0.0001) and was not associated with the risk of cardiovascular disease or major cardiovascular disease events such as myocardial infarction and deathHigher saturated fat intake was associated with lower risk of stroke (95% CI: 0.64–0.98, P = 0.0498).
Dietary advice by nutritionists and physicians has conventionally been to reduce the amount of total fat consumption (especially saturated fats such as butter) to reduce the levels of low-density lipoprotein-cholesterol. The evidence for this has been weak and was historically based on studies focused on particular communities with a high intake of saturated fats. The initial findings of the PURE study have shown that a high intake of fats (of all types) is not associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and is actually associated with a decreased risk of stroke and major cardiovascular events. An increased intake of carbohydrates, on the other hand, is associated with significant increase in mortality. This upends much of the dietary advice that has been in vogue in popular media as well as in medical practice. Saturated fats, typically those of animal origin (butter, ghee, etc.), may not be the “heart killers” that they were portrayed to be.
A carbohydrate-rich diet (>60% of energy provided) which is typical of Asian meals may not be the most healthful option and refined sugars (confectionaries, refined rice, and flour) contribute to much of the associated mortality. Many modern diets prescribed today (Mediterranean, Paleo) tend to have prominent protein/vegetable components with a minimal or negligible inclusion of dietary fats. The authors have commented that a balanced diet containing all components (carbohydrate, fats, proteins, fiber, and minerals), with no component being abandoned (unless there is a medical reason to do so), contributes to the overall health and fats, especially should not be excluded.
Strengths and limitations
The study population included a wide geographical distribution with people of different economic groups and is therefore more representative of the general global population than studies done earlier. The results of the study therefore can be applied to all population groups and are useful in dietary recommendations around the world. While the study does show that a high intake of fats is inversely associated with the risk of cardiovascular events and stroke, whether this is protective against these illnesses is something that cannot be commented from the results and will require further studies focused on this aspect. The methodology is robust and the follow-up also appears to be meticulous. The results will therefore be an important contributor to public health measures in the future.

I don't really understand the issue.
What exactly did they do?
Violation of FARA, tax evasion and other financial crimes - they made a ton of money for their job and used fake/faulty corporations and shell companies to skirt tax laws (From my understanding). Nothing linked directly to Russia or the Trump campaign, outside of the fact that dates in the indictment indicate Manafort and Gates continued their activities during and after they worked for the campaign. Gates remained close to White House officials even after leaving the campaign, well into this year.
The reveal of the third person (Papadopulous) who pled guilty relates to this though, is far more consequential to the overall investigation. The lawyers under Mueller are likely going to use him as leverage to get more information out of either Manafort and/or Gates regarding others involved.

Brave veteran's charity mission as Jason Roffey takes part in Great Tommy Sleep Out in Fulbeck’s Mannakin Hall
A Royal Navy veteran has survived his first night sleeping in a creepy mannequin graveyard for charity.
Not only that, but he’s also being given Top Gear-style challenges to complete on a daily basis. Last night, he was tasked with creating a shelter out of body parts to sleep under.
The event is part of the Royal British Legion Industries’ Great Tommy Sleep Out, which asks people to brave a cold night throughout March to raise funds and awareness of the roughly 6,000 military veterans living on the streets in the UK.
Of his first night, Jason said: “Luckily, the rain held off with only a couple of drops, but it wasn’t a great night’s sleep.

“I would literally hear a creak when the wind picked up, and the mannequins would swing together in the trees. It was a little bit spooky, but I survived.”
His first night did include a couple of supporters, including an Army veteran and South Kesteven District Council’s Forces Champion.
However, tonight (Tuesday) Jason will be on his own… well, not exactly on his own as he will be challenged to wine and dine with one of the mannequins.
In preparation, Jason nipped home and picked up a candle and a bow tie and he’s hoping the mannequin will be suitably pleased by a tea of cheeseburger and cupcakes!
As part of the challenge, Jason has launched a GoFundMe page, which has so far raised £904 – more than £400 above his initial target. He now aims to reach £1,000.
Last year, the demand for the Legion’s services for homeless veterans increased by 45%, and the charity expects the cost of housing those already supported to more than treble due to the cost of living crisis.
Every penny raised by the Great Tommy Sleep Out campaign will go directly to the Legion’s range of services – providing homes, welfare, and employment support to military veterans.
A post on Jason’s Facebook page outlines how the money might be spent, including £5 for toiletries, £15 for hot meals, and £25 for fresh bedding, up to £70 for electrical kitchen items and £100 for support and training for employment.
Jason urges anyone who is watching to ‘have a go’ at a sleep out on their own.
“Even if you raise £50 or £100, every penny counts,” he said, noting the variety of locations in which people had taken part, including shop doorways, their own gardens, or even involving grandchildren and younger kids with a campout in the living room.
Jason, a former military man, didn't find the idea of sleeping out a major hardship.
“At the back of my mind, though, I know that in the worst-case scenario here I can get in my car and go home, but there are 6,000 military veterans living on the streets who can’t go home.
“They can’t just pack up; they go through this every day. Every day is a massive struggle for them.”
He said the numbers angered him, adding: “They should be looked after straight off the bat; there shouldn’t need to be charities. Government should be helping them out instantly.”
He acknowledged there were multiple issues involved but said more needed to be done to help veterans.
Mannakin Hall has offered to let anyone who wants to try out the big sleep out – or a similar event – to use the premises to raise money.
The company is a mannequin hire business that also diverts dolls from landfill. There are currently about 15,000 mannequins on-site.
Roz Edwards, director and founder, said the location’s military history as a dining room for the airmen in the Second World War as part of RAF Fulbeck was a wonderful link for the charity.
“It’s a really good charity, a really good cause, and a pleasure to have the space for it to be done,” she said.
She warned that there have previously been eerie issues picked up by paranormal investigators.
“Quite often you can think you see somebody move and there’s nobody there or sat in a room and working away and you feel someone coming in and look around and there’s no-one there,” she said.
However, she added it was a rare occurrence.
The Hall is hosting a livestream at 7 pm every night with Jason and his companions (mannequin or not) – which people can tune into to discover future challenges.

Martin Braithwaite has departed Barcelona on a free transfer and will join Catalan rivals Espanyol.
The Denmark international was controversially signed from Leganes for £15m in 2020 after being granted permission by La Liga to make an emergency signing as cover for the then-injured Ousmane Dembele.
Braithwaite managed 58 appearances for Barcelona, chipping in with ten goals and five assists, but struggled with a serious knee injury towards the end of 2021 and was then informed by manager Xavi that he had no future at the club.
Talks to terminate his contract had failed earlier this summer, leading to whistles and jeers from the Camp Nou crowd whenever Braithwaite was spotted, but a fresh round of talks has led to a positive outcome.
A Barcelona statement read: "FC Barcelona and Martin Braithwaite have reached an agreement to terminate the contact binding the player to the club until the end of the 2023/24 season.
"FC Barcelona publicly expresses its gratitude to Braithwaite for his commitment and dedication and wishes him the best of fortune and every success in the future.
Braithwaite will now take his talents across Catalonia to Espanyol.

I am using the RoboClaw controllers to run all my actuation on a project.
The project consists of a Steward Platform atop a kiwi drive omni directional base
I am controlling 6 linear actuators for the platform, and 3 DC motors for the base
I am using an Adafruit ESP32 Feather for the MCU and have been using the Arduino libraries
The problem I am currently trying to solve is that I am getting a 30ms latency on each serial communication between the MCU and the RoboClaws - with 9 actuators this is adding up to 270ms for each command cycle, which is not functional. This gets worse when I try and request information from the RoboClaws.
I had been running previously off an AVR AtMega2560, I experienced a similar problem until I split the base and platform control over 2 Serial channels, but that doesn't seem to be fixing it this time (and it doesn't solve the initial problem with the source of the latency) - any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Here are the drive functions:
Code: Select all
//kiwi drive base driving function
// Stewart Platform drive to position function
for(int i = 0; i <3 ; i++)
kiwiDrive(kiwiA, kiwiV, kiwiR);
int tm2 = millis(); //this is to check serial latency only, comment out once fixed
tm2 = millis();
When I set the timeout to 1000 instead of 10000 when defining the roboclaws, the latency drops to 10ms - the esp32 therefor is timing out with communicating to the RoboClaws - given the trouble I was having with requesting info from the controllers, it would seem that the ESP32 isn't reading data back from the controllers?
Even with the timeout set to effectively zero, the latency on the Platform drive is still around 8ms on each communication cycle (with the encoders and actuators not currently connected) - so around 83ms for all nine control commands (I have ran it wirelessly, connected to all the actuators, so the control commands are getting from the ESP32 to the Roboclaws just fine)

The US is supporting efforts to investigate the 'apparent sabotage' of the Nord Stream pipelines, national security advisor says
- The US national security advisor on Tuesday described the Nord Stream leaks as "apparent sabotage."
- He tweeted that the US was supporting efforts to investigate the leaks.
The US national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, used the phrase "apparent sabotage" Tuesday to describe leaks in key pipelines connecting Russia and Europe, and he underscored US efforts to aid in the investigation into the incidents.
"I spoke to my counterpart Jean-Charles Ellermann-Kingombe of Denmark about the apparent sabotage of Nord Stream pipelines," Sullivan tweeted Tuesday night. "The U.S. is supporting efforts to investigate and we will continue our work to safeguard Europe's energy security."
—Jake Sullivan (@JakeSullivan46) September 28, 2022
The leak in the Nord Stream 2 pipeline was discovered in the Danish part of the Baltic Sea on Monday, the Danish Energy Agency wrote in an announcement. "The Danish Maritime Authority has released a navigational warning and established a prohibitive no sail zone around the area," the agency added.
A press representative for the Swedish Maritime Authority told Insider the agency was informed about one leak on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, southeast of the Danish island of Bornholm. Later the same day, it learned of two separate leaks on the Nord Stream 1 pipeline northeast of Bornholm.
Sullivan's comments echo similar statements from Germany, where government officials are said to believe the pipelines were sabotaged.
Der Tagesspiegel, a newspaper in Germany, reported a government source as saying: "We can't imagine a scenario that isn't a targeted attack. Everything speaks against a coincidence." A representative for Germany's economy ministry told Insider it "doesn't participate in speculation." Germany's energy regulator, the Federal Network Agency, said in an email it was working to clarify the situation.
Later Tuesday, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen said it was "difficult to imagine" the damage was accidental.
On Tuesday, the Kremlin also said it couldn't rule out sabotage, per Reuters.
Following the incident, governments around the region issued warnings to ships to not sail within 5 nautical miles of the leaks.
The Danish Navy sent an Absalon-class frigate to the site of the leaks for monitoring purposes and to warn ships to stay away, the Danish Broadcasting Corporation reported Tuesday. A German government official told Insider a no-fly zone was in operation over the affected area.
The incidents on the Nord Stream pipelines could exacerbate Europe's energy crisis this winter, given that Russia typically supplies about 40% of Europe's natural gas, most of which is transported via pipelines.
Russia exported about 155 billion cubic meters of the fuel to Europe in 2021 — and more than one-third came from the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, per Reuters.
The Russian state-controlled gas giant Gazprom turned off its gas supply to Europe via Nord Stream 1 in September, citing technical reasons.
The Nord Stream 2 natural-gas pipeline, which runs parallel to Nord Stream 1, has never been operational because Germany shelved the project in February, days before Russia invaded Ukraine. Construction on the $11 billion Nord Stream 2 pipeline was completed in September 2021.

TEL AVIV — An Arab man rammed a truck into Israeli soldiers on a busy promenade in Jerusalem on Sunday, killing four, in what Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called a terrorist attack.
The driver targeted a group of Israeli soldiers disembarking from a bus in a popular tourist area overlooking Jerusalem’s Old City and was shot dead at the scene by security forces, police said.
A video published by Israeli media outlets showed the truck driving into the Israelis before attempting to ram them again. The attack killed three female soldiers and one male soldier, all in their 20s, Israeli authorities said. Some 17 other soldiers were wounded and evacuated to hospitals, they said.
“We know the identity of the perpetrator, who by all indications supports the Islamic State,” Netanyahu said as he visited the scene Sunday evening, according to a statement from his office.

Smart devices, and their developers, may be reprogramming the operating systems of children—that's the conclusion of at least one set of parents whose one-year-old daughter thinks a print magazine is a broken iPad.
However, children might be returning the favor and be contributing to the reprogramming of computers. As Yasmin Anwar of UC Berkeley writes, “People often wonder if computers make children smarter. Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are asking the reverse question: Can children make computers smarter? And the answer appears to be ‘yes.’”
UC Berkeley researchers, it turns out, are trying to replicate in machines computational models based on baby brainpower, thereby helping artificial intelligence deal with nuances and uncertainty.
Anwar quotes Alison Gopnik, a developmental psychologist at UC Berkeley, as saying, “Children are the greatest learning machines in the universe. Imagine if computers could learn as much and as quickly as they do.”
This spring, UC Berkeley psychologists, computer scientists, and philosophers will launch a multidisciplinary center at the campus’s Institute of Human Development to conduct further research into what babies and preschoolers can teach computers.
Here's hoping they will be successful, but perhaps they should confine their research to children from birth through one and three through five, omitting the two-year-olds. I don't want my computer throwing tantrums.

Fans of Canadian singer Céline Dion are protesting in front of Rolling Stone’s offices because Dion was not included in the “200 Greatest Singers of All Time” list.
Also, singer Ozzy Osbourne has been placed at number 112, while Bob Dylan is placed above Elvis Presley, and not including many legendary or uniquely talented rock and metal musicians,
Supporters of the “My Heart Will Go On” singer have already flooded social media with criticism, and a group of them now showed up in front of Rolling Stone’s office, with hand-drawn signs saying “Justice for Céline“, “Rolling Stone is Stoned”, and more.
Kiss bassist Gene Simmons was asked to comment on the recent Rolling Stone magazine “200 greatest singers of all time”, mentioning that placing singer Ozzy Osbourne at number 112 is ”a crime”.
More about this topic, the singer told TMZ:
“Well, it’s skewed. You have to consider who’s popular and who’s not. But if you really think about it, how good somebody sings may be part and parcel of what they do.
”For instance, if Jimi Hendrix, who had a long, well, actually a short career, but he was very famous, would he make it on ‘American Idol’? How about Bob Dylan… And I wrote songs with Bob Dylan; I know the guy. Would he make it on ‘American Idol’?
“How well you sing is not the most important thing. It’s, do you have style? Do you have a fingerprint that says, ‘I know that voice immediately’?”
Regarding Ozzy’s ranking, Simmons added:
“That’s a crime. Look, somebody sits in a backroom, Jann Wenner [Rolling Stone co-founder] and those guys, they sit in a back room and they decide things. Nobody asked me. Did they ask you? Apparently not.”

Shared experience of surgical management of MMC
Sorry it is bit long but tried to keep to the point as much as possible Found out I had a MMC, should have been 8 wks, heart beat stopped at 5.5/6wks Had private scan, confirmed on EPU x3 days later Preop completed Covid test done Bloods taken Booked in for surgery under general following day What I took in on day of surgery: Slippers Dressing gown Pjs toilet bag incase needed to stay overnight Magazine Phone and charger Took all jewellery off and left a home £15 cash just in case Day of surgery: Arrived at hop 7 a.m Pessaries put in to dilate cervix approx 10:45 (I could have done this or the nurse, I opted for nurse) this wasn’t uncomfortable and was done in a gentle, sympathetic way Taken to theatre 11:20 from ward via bed Given diazepam as anxious prior to general Surgery: reported to be straight fwd Recovery bay afterwards: came round, had cup of water through a straw Back on ward by 12:30 Afterwards: Felt ok. BP, temperature and pulse monitored each hour ish BP remained low, pulse quite high Given antibiotics tablets to take as precautionary ( this is issued to all patients) Appetite: Good Had sandwiches (lunch 1.5 hours after surgery) Tea and biscuits Jacket potato and cheese for tea Able to drink fair amount of water Went for a number of wees (they nurses checked each wee) Pain relief: Hospital gave me initially Liquid (intervenes) paracetamol, liquid oramorph (by mouth), paracetamol tablets and ibuprofen tablets taken for cramping afterwards Prescribed codeine for home plus to take paracetamol and ibuprofen following dose advice on packet. Bleeding: Initially and currently some bleeding or and off advised this could be up to x3 wks Discharged: 21:30 Take preg test in x3 wks, if still positive to contact EPU If concerned re bleeding or pain, contact EPU Given little box containing some knitted little bears, tiny knitted square Star hanging decoration Little silver heart and some support info Sick note issued: Two wks by hospital Many women had sick note issued from GP already Overall experience: Positive All staff were very supportive throughout Personally my BP was low so delayed discharge. Other patients were discharged a bit sooner than me. My personal reasons for choosing surgical management under GA: Previous history of ruptured ectopic afterwards having methotrexate management = requiring emergency surgery. This caused significant anxiety and whole process was long. I felt surgery, for me, was a quicker, more controlled management option. Cramping causes me much anxiety Hearing and seeing things, I feel, would cause too much anxiety for me. I have two yr old to look after. Emotional state: Was weepy and upset on way up to theatre And off and on throughout the day especially when given the little box. It was a long day I took a magazine and my phone They could charge my phone in nurse station/ reception. Not at my bedside. Puzzles in magazine we a nice distraction I felt safe re Covid Wore my mask all day Every thing was being cleaned well. Sending lots of hugs to all who are going through or have gone through miscarriage. I had to wear my big girl, brave girl pants today. It was tough but I got through this next hurdle.

Walleye anglers today have a vast number of choices in the fishing lines they use, and while some types are best suited to certain situations and presentations, Team Northland‘s Tony Roach says braided line fills the bill for most of his fishing needs.
“To be frank,” he says, “I use Northland braid most of the time, with most presentations,” he says. “A braided line’s sensitivity is foremost, so whether I’m casting long distances, or pitching-and-ripping a jig, I like how it transmits everything to the rod-tip. I can easily feel every rock, weed tip, or strike, and because of its low stretch, the hook set is instantaneous.”
He always employs a fluorocarbon leader, attached to the mainline with a double-uni knot, for a couple of reasons. First, because it’s less visible and won’t spook wary fish in clear water, but also because it’s easier to break off if the jig becomes snagged. Another “must” is a fast-tip fishing rod. “You need something with a little give,” he says. “You don’t want to use a pool cue, otherwise you can rip the hook right out of the fish’s mouth.”
A 6-pound braid mainline, with a 10- to 12-pound fluoro leader is Roach’s standard set-up. “In lakes that are infested with zebra mussels, though, I upsize to the 8-pound braided line and up to a 14-pound leader,” he says. “It stands up much better to the abuse.”
Monofilament isn’t completely off the angler’s radar screen, however. “I like monofilament line when I’m fishing a slip bobber because it slides through the float so much easier,” he says. “It’s also the way to go when you’re pulling spinners and have the rods in holders. When a walleye strikes, mono allows the rod to load up more.”
Mono also outperforms braid in shallow water, or when walleyes tend to slash at a bait, he says. Its stretchability offers some forgiveness when the fish are non-committal.

Glenn Daniel Stadium rededication held at LHS
Published 12:00 am Tuesday, October 3, 2006
Along with a winning football season thus far, Luverne High School has something else of which to be proud.
On Sept. 8, LHS Principal Earl Franks, along with a host of supporters, officially rededicated the recently renovated Glenn Daniel Stadium.
Some of these supporters and contributors included former Head Coach Glenn Daniel, Sen. Wendell Mitchell, and Luverne Mayor and former superintendent Joe Rex Sport.
“We are extremely excited and proud to have these renovations to complement our tradition-rich football program,” Franks said. “We sincerely appreciate the contributions and donations made by the many individuals, businesses and organizations that have helped to make these renovations possible.”
No major work had been done to the football stadium area since 1973, according to LHS Assistant Principal Doug Brown.
“All of the stadium and seating areas, on the home side and the visitors' side, were changed from that block facade to all brick,” he said.
In the back of the stadium, there was an open area that has now been bricked up three feet high, with extended metal panels coming down and rolling doors added, in order to create four new closed storage areas.
“We also had the drainage redone on the field,” Brown added.
The restrooms on the visitors' side have all new plumbing, a new ceiling and new lighting.
Glenn Daniel Stadium also boasts new black, vinyl-coated fencing which completely surrounds the stadium, as well as having the new fencing around the bleachers.
There are also new sidewalks on the home side of the field.
“We've made the bathrooms handicap accessible,” Brown said. “And, there is a new area designed with handicap facilities on the home side of the stadium.”
“We could not have done all of this without the support and funding of Superintendent Kathi Wallace and the Crenshaw County Board of Education, in addition to private donations,” he added. “We had so many people and businesses and organizations to help with this project, and we hope they realize just what this means to LHS.”

I'm just wondering what people think of the demo?
I've been playing all night long and I love it! the loading times are so short, mechanics work great and the allround feel of the game takes me back to how CoD used to be.
Are you pre-Ordering the game? Or aren't you sold on it yet?

The appearance of the stairs is crucial since they serve as the home’s primary structural focal point. Visitors will have a negative first impression of a dirty or outdated staircase, which could potentially reduce the property’s worth. Despite their appearance, many older stairs are quite dangerous since they were built under less stringent building codes than today. This blog will look at cost-effective spiral staircase designs to update your staircase.
Your staircase serves two purposes in your house: as a statement piece and as a means of transportation between floors. An old or unappealing staircase can give off a bad first impression, especially if you have guests in the house. Typically, there is very little (or nothing) wrong with your staircase’s operation. Given this information, it is safe to infer that you are considering a stairway makeover in order to enhance the appearance of your house.
Replace The Banisters
Without the inconvenience of building a full staircase, you may drastically transform the appearance of your stairs by swapping out outdated balusters for more contemporary alternatives. At a fraction of the expense of new steps, the change will be complete by replacing the newel caps, handrail, and base rail. If you want something modern, replacing wooden balusters with glass panels will give your home a sleek, minimalist design and let more light into the room.
Pine or hemlock spindles, which work well with most design styles, offer a more traditional effect that won’t quickly go out of style. Consider Idigbo, a lesser-known African hardwood, a more affordable oak substitute for your stairs renovation.
Go Open Plan and Let Your Stairs Be the Star!
To create a more contemporary open-plan vibe, consider stairs renovation like removing the under-stairs cabinet. You can use the area as a comfortable study room, seating area, little library, or shelving unit with a little imagination. Of course, you will have more options if the staircase is in the living or dining room rather than the hallway.
Installing a chest of drawers, cabinets, or a small sideboard can be a sensible approach to minimize clutter while maintaining a modern open-plan layout if storage is a problem. Depending on how your possession is laid out, you might be able to knock through a wall where steps meet an exterior wall to create an additional window that would let in more natural light.
None Of The Other: The Ol’ Unswerving Paint
Does your newly renovated home’s honey wood staircase stick out like a sore thumb? If so, you can paint your banister to match the rest of the house’s style as part of the stair renovation. Use your imagination when choosing paint colors or keep it simple (farmhouse white is a popular option right now, though some may disagree).
DIY Or Use an Experienced Tradesman
A tradesperson typically installs an average staircase in a few days, so budget £200 to £400 or more for the installation process. If you’re comfortable working with wood, you can renovate a balustrade by replacing the handrails, base rails, spindles, and newel posts as a DIY project, saving you the installation fees.
Depending on how the elements are attached, some stair remodeling kits are simpler to install than others. We propose our Fusion products (simple-to-fit connectors) or Elements (with its straightforward twist bracket system) for the least complicated staircase renovation ideas DIY style.
Let the Timber Shine and Your Stairs Will Follow
Numerous homeowners have removed the carpet from their stairs to better utilize the hardwood steps underneath due to the current trend of utilizing natural timber in interior design. Wood is a gorgeously warm material that looks wonderful in traditional and modern homes and won’t quickly go out of style.
You must treat the wood to prevent deterioration unless you install prefinished stair parts, like those from the Fusion or Immix ranges. Except for wood stain, which requires an additional coat of varnish or wax on top, hard wax oil, Danish oil, and wood stain.
Cover With Carpet
For homes whose steps are made of plywood, MDF, or concrete, new carpet may do wonders if you want to go for a staircase renovation, and it is typically the only practical alternative. You may use carpet to make a statement because there is a huge variety of colors and patterns. If your steps are in good shape, place a rug along the middle and paint or varnish the visible tread on either side.
In areas of the house with significant traffic, a cheap floor covering will always show to be a false economy. Invest in a tough carpet that is ideally 80% wool and 20% nylon, and make sure it is made to be used on stairs. Select a sturdy underlay, then install the carpet.
Replace Your Handrail
A cost- and time-effective option to remodel your home is replacing the stairs’ components. Depending on the staircase style you intend to renovate, all it could take to give it a new lease on life is replacing the railing. The handrails that Stair Parts stocks can be personalized with wall brackets, end caps, and rail connectors in either chrome or brushed nickel, starting at just £11.00 each. Find our selection of wall-mounted handrails here for your stair renovation.
Add Depth and Luxury with Two Tones
A staircase with two colors pops. The handrail, floors, and honey oak throughout were all refurbished by the homeowners, who also painted the spindles and risers a bright white. This style will likely continue to be popular for a while. With these low-cost staircase renovation suggestions, your home will appear more opulent.
Replace Worn Treads and Risers with Oak Stair Clad
Do your treads and risers appear more worn out? Your best option might be Stair clad. Stair cladding is the newest cutting-edge option for homeowners wishing to remodel their staircase without incurring the cost of purchasing and constructing an altogether new staircase.
You may get the oak staircase effect by utilizing premium stair-clad goods, and some fundamental DIY staircase remodel skills.

Whether you paint, stain, add a baluster connector kit, or give it a creative touch, there are many ways to update your stairs without breaking the bank.
