Knowing a bit of economics gives you almost wizard-like powers. Sadly, not in turning people into frogs however gratifying that would occasionally be, but at spotting when people just aren't getting the point. Take, for example, this much ballyhooed tech summit coming up, between the leading lights of America's technology industry and the President-election, Donald Trump himself. We know that Trump gets these things wrong, as he does with trade itself. There, it is the imports which make us rich, the imports are the reason we take part in trade at all. Because we want to consume those things which foreigners make better, or cheaper, than we do, we want to be able to consume their labor. The same is true of tech and gadgetry. How it is produced, by whom, and how much they make, is vaguely interesting but it's a triviality compared to the fact that we get to consume tech and gadgetry.
Think, for example, of the smartphone. Sure, Apple has made a fortune out of having invented (not really, but the first one that really took off at least) it but that's absolutely as nothing compared to the value that we all get from having a supercomputer in our pocket. Whether they are assembled in the U.S. or China, how much Tim Cook gets paid for overseeing this, really, they are entirely trivial matters as compared to the consumption value we get from their existence and ubiquity. It's really important that we all remember this - imports are the point of trade, the purpose of all production is consumption.
That's not how some are seeing it though:
Trump supporters do not seem to be overtly against technology— they like their gadgets, too. But many are having trouble with the upheavals brought on by the culture of relentless technological and social change being driven mostly by the coasts. Some also realize that the reason they now get paid less for selling knick-knacks at the mall than they did in a factory has as much to do with robots as illegal Guatemalans.
But if their gadgets make them richer then they are not becoming poorer through the existence of gadgets, are they? And that they like their gadgets does indeed mean that they are made richer by them. Increased utility is being richer.
That’s even though tech companies — who mostly backed Trump’s Democratic rival, Hillary Clinton — stand on the exact other side of a myriad of key issues from Trump, including immigration reform, trade, encryption and a depressing range of social concerns.
But that's not what tech is about. Again, the purpose of all production is consumption. Thus the tech industry is and should be about creating more things for us to consume. And that's all that should be worried about too.
There is no simple policy change that could spread tech’s success to parts of the country that are reeling. Facebook employs relatively few people. Apple manufactures its products mostly in China and says reproducing its intricate ecosystem here would push up prices drastically for iPhones. Amazon has created tens of thousands of jobs in its warehouses across the country but is also blamed by critics for forcing small retailers out of business.
Of course, we can always rely upon the NYT to get matters economic the wrong way around. They are, again, looking at tech as being important for the number of people it employs. But the success of tech, or of any other producer in the economy, is whether they produce something which we wish to consume at a price that we wish to consume it at. That's what makes us richer, our consumption opportunities. And given that we do all, and can all, consume these tech products then the industry is doing an interesting job in making us richer.
Further to complain about there being not many jobs is ludicrous. We always want to produce whatever at the least costs--labor is a cost thus we wish to reduce its usage. That frees up people to go and produce something else for us, here for example we can have tech and also medical care, because we don't need to take all the people out of the hospitals in order to make the tech. Think it through for a moment, imagine we had a magic box which required one person, just the one, to produce everything that Apple currently produces. Would we all be richer? Sure we would--we'd have all that Apple produces and also 80,000 well trained bright and enthusiastic engineers and other people going off to make something else we can enjoy consuming. Who knows what they would do, maybe they could crack the opioid high without the addiction or overdose problems? (No, they couldn't as it's the high which is addictive but it's only an example.)
The job of the tech industry is, as with any other industry, to produce things we wish to consume, no more and no less than that. Everything else is a minor triviality and we're going to get much better public policy if we can all just remember that.

Vettel 2nd for Ferrari Red Bull Honda ace Max Verstappen put up a lap of 1.07.508s to win pole position for the Brazilian GP, the 2nd pole of his F1 career. Lacking downforce in the slow middle sector, Sebastian Vettel could only muster the 2nd quick time for Ferrari, 0.123s down on the Dutchman. Lewis Hamilton made a big step in his final run, stealing third from the 2nd Ferrari of Charles Leclerc. Valtteri Bottas rounded out the top-5 in the 2nd Mercedes.
From Interlagos Brazil and rhythm go hand in hand. Paint a mental picture of Copacabana, imagine the raucous celebrations of the Carnival or even delve into the atmosphere of the lesser-known parts of the country and you're bound to draw up a vast, colorful soundtrack to go with it. Brazilians have music in their veins. Samba, bossa nova, choro and many more - even the genres reflect the uniquely varied cultural, historical and social background of the country.
Bottas wins USGP from pole for another Mercedes 1-2
Hamilton locks up 6th title in 2nd Valtteri Bottas took his 4th win of the 2019 F1 season leading the USGP most of the way in his #77 Mercedes. Bottas was 4.1 seconds ahead of his Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton in 2nd, but that was enough for Hamilton to lock up his 6th F1 title. He is so blessed to have been driving the best car in F1 for 5 straight years. Max Verstappen finished 1-second behind Hamilton in third for Red Bull.
In close qualifying session Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas, trying to keep his championship hopes alive, won the pole position for the USGP by only 0.012s over the Ferrari of Sebastian Vettel and 0.067s over the Red Bull of Max Verstappen. Bottas has to win tomorrow to keep any chance of winning the championship alive, and hope Hamilton finishes way down the pack... It seemed so unlikely, but now, not so much. Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton rounded out the top-5 in the 2nd Ferrari and Mercedes respectively.
F1 cars will resemble IndyCars Formula 1's technical, sporting and financial regulations for the championships’ 2021 overhaul will go ahead as planned in 2021 following approval from the teams morning in Austin, with formal confirmation being made public on Thursday in a bid to improve the on-track spectacle and create closer, more competitive racing.
At Circuit of the Americas The F1 teams cross the border for the final leg of the last back-to-back of the season, as they go Stateside to Texas for Round 19 of the FIA Formula One World Championship. Austin’s popular Circuit of the Americas is a favorite amongst drivers and fans, not least due to its lively off-track atmosphere. Contrast best describes a lap around COTA. It is a counter-clockwise circuit – one of only five on the 22-race Formula One calendar, joining Azerbaijan, Singapore, Brazil and Abu Dhabi. Just 14 percent of a lap around COTA is spent under braking, with drivers at full throttle for nearly 60 percent of their lap.

Amazon (AMZN -0.77%) recently unveiled Luna, a cloud gaming service that will compete against Alphabet's (GOOG -1.24%) (GOOGL -1.02%) Google Stadia, Microsoft's (MSFT -0.04%) Project xCloud, and NVIDIA's (NVDA -1.51%) GeForce Now in the next-gen market. Let's examine six key features investors should know about this new platform.
1. Channel-based subscriptions
Luna will feature separate "channels" of games. Each channel will offer unlimited access to a set library of games for separate monthly subscription fees. That approach will presumably allow publishers to maintain control of their own games -- a sore spot that sparked an exodus of publishers from NVIDIA's GeForce Now platform earlier this year.
Amazon has only introduced two channels so far: the Luna Plus channel and the Ubisoft channel, which will both launch with about 50 games.
2. How Luna stacks up against the competition
Luna Plus, which costs $5.99 per month during the introductory period, will allow games to be streamed at 1080p at 60fps on up to two devices at once. Ubisoft's channel, which hasn't been priced yet, will allow games to be streamed at the same resolutions and frame rates on a single device. Amazon says 4K streaming is "coming soon" for both channels.
By comparison, Google's Stadia Basic tier, which lets players stream games they already purchased at 1080p, is free. The Pro tier, which offers 4K streaming, costs $9.99 per month and occasionally offers free games. However, Stadia is essentially a cloud-based storage locker for previously purchased games, instead of an all-you-can-play cloud service.
Microsoft's xCloud will be bundled into its Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscription, which includes Xbox Live and the Game Pass unlimited download platform, for $14.99 a month. Game Pass and xCloud both offer unlimited access to over 100 games.
GeForce Now offers a free tier, which lets users stream their own purchased games (from participating publishers) at up to 1080p at 60fps in one-hour sessions. The paid version, which costs $4.99 per month, boosts the time limit to six hours and offers access to higher-end GPUs.
3. A cross-platform experience
Luna will run on PCs, Macs, Fire TV devices, iOS devices, and Android devices. On iOS, it's a PWA (progressive web application) that runs through the web browser instead of the App Store -- which bypasses the drama regarding Apple's 30% cut of app revenues and its recent restrictions on xCloud, Stadia, and other cloud-based platforms.
4. It's powered by NVIDIA's hardware
Luna will be powered by Amazon Web Services (AWS) and NVIDIA's GPUs. By comparison, Stadia and xCloud both use AMD's (AMD -1.65%) GPUs instead of NVIDIA's.
If Luna gains momentum, it could strengthen NVIDIA's data center business -- which generated 45% of its revenue last quarter -- and complement the segment's growth in the AI market.
5. Luna will be integrated with Twitch and Alexa
Amazon plans to integrate Luna with Twitch's streaming platform in the near future. That move, which mirrors Google's recent integration of Stadia into YouTube Gaming, could reinforce Twitch's lead in the game streaming market.
Twitch accounted for 67.6% of all game streaming hours watched in the second quarter of 2020, according to Streamlabs. YouTube Gaming accounted for another 20%, followed by 11% for Facebook and just 1.4% for Microsoft's Mixer -- which was discontinued earlier this year. The expansion of Luna and Twitch should also complement Amazon's own game publishing plans, which include new first-party games like New World.
Luna will also be integrated with Alexa, which will accept voice commands through the optional Luna controller. That integration should tether the service to Amazon's Echo devices and other Alexa-enabled devices.
6. It's an ecosystem play, not a revenue one
Right now, Amazon is only accepting "early access" applications for Luna's limited launch in October. But when Amazon officially launches Luna, it probably won't generate enough revenue to reduce the company's dependence on its core e-commerce and cloud businesses.
Instead, Amazon will likely expand Luna to widen its moat against Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and other tech ecosystem rivals. It will also likely bundle discounted or free plans into Prime to expand its base of paid subscribers -- which surpassed 150 million worldwide at the end of 2019.

Boccia has made a commitment to creating beautiful watches that are also strong and durable. For this reason, all Boccia Watches are made from titanium. This trustworthy and sturdy material makes up all of the metal parts of the watches, including the crowns, buckles and links. Another benefit of using this titanium material is that is extremely resistant to corrosion.
Those with sensitive skin appreciate Boccia Watches because the titanium tends to be gentle on the skin and is hypo-allergenic. The watches are also built to be water-resistant, which makes them an ideal choice for people who love to swim, dive and snorkel.
While the titanium in the watches make them incredibly solid and durable, they are surprisingly lightweight and range in size and style greatly. Boccia Watches were designed to be practical and durable, but although some of the men's models come with chronographs. date functions and combination hour markers, making them a favourite. The men's line tends to be large and bold. Most of the men's models come with a round dial. There are some that come with a very simple, minimalist dial and a more elegant, distinguished look.

The Age of Drake
As the title implies, the book is not solely about Drake. The author documents all Drake's oceanic voyages within the context of other 16th-century maritime activities. These include voyages to Newfoundland, Guinea, and the East Indies by sailors such as Oxenham, Cavendish and Richard Hawkins, the son of Sir John.
Williamson holds Drake, Hawkins and the other principal protagonists in the highest esteem whilst noting some of their shortcomings. Williamson identifies Drake's daring actions of flair and genius at Vigo and Cádiz as unique in the 16th- century and certainly as setting Drake apart from his contemporaries. The author applies intelligent analysis and interpretation to actions and consequences. For example, Drake's attack on Vigo in 1585 is singled out as a pivotal moment in the 16th century. Drake had angered King Philip II by plundering his ships and settlements in the New World but now enraged the king onto a war footing by insulting him on his home soil. Drake's daring incursion, by a man who the king saw as a foreign commoner, emphasised his personal duel with Philip. Other authors have referred to this aspect of interpretation and analysis as a result of reading this book.
Williamson's knowledge of the period is impressive and the seasoned Drake scholar will learn much from his pen. For me, new information included that Hawkins was despatched in 1569 for the relief of La Rochelle. This further strengthens the likelihood that Drake sailed and was home in time for his wedding. We also learn how rich Drake was becoming up until 1588. For the short voyage to Spain in 1587, Drake's share from the Sao Felipe was £17,000, which was over five times the sum he had paid for his Buckland mansion. Williamson's tenacious research includes the retro-calculation of tide times during the Armada battles. The author provides the usual reasons why the 1589 voyage failed and ensures the queen shouldered some of the responsibility.
Williamson is very eloquent without the use of many "big" words that require a dictionary. His main literary prowess comes from the use of familiar words cleverly selected and married into powerful sentences such as: "The inertia of traditional practice could not be overcome". Williamson wrote more books on Hawkins than Drake. However if you read Hawkins you will learn more about Sir Francis since their lives were entwined. Hawkins gave Drake his first oceanic sailing experience and further employment after the San Juan de Ulua debacle. Hawkins was the nation's premier sailor until 1580, became treasurer of the navy and influenced ship design, which Drake put to good use. They were life-long business partners. Hawkins was in Drake's life until near the very end, when Hawkins died only weeks before Drake off Puerto Rico.
Corbett was the first author to publish a comprehensive Drake biography. A century later Sugden produced the modern reference biography. In between it was Williamson in the 1920s and 1930s, who provided the stepping-stone between the two scholars. I thank Dr John Sugden who recommended that I read The Age of Drake.

Tuesday, July 7th IHOP invited us all to join in on their birthday celebrations.
As of today, IHOP has been serving customers delicious food for FIFTY-SEVEN years! It’s hard to believe but their birthday offer confirms it.
Tuesday from 7am-7pm IHOP offered customers a short stack of buttermilk pancakes for the low price of 57 cents!! Al and Jerry Lapin are IHOP’s founders and opened their first restaurant in Toluca Lake, California in 1958. The same short stack of pancakes back then cost sixty cents and to celebrate their 57th birthday today they returned to that price and cut off an additional 3 cents!
The International House of Pancakes also gave their logo a face lift. In celebration of their birthday, they altered their logo to reflect the happiness and joy their company hopes to spread. The “O” and the “P” are now part of a big smiling face. Vice President of Marketing, Kirk Thompson, comments on the change:
“While our beaming new logo perfectly captures our heritage of happiness, our 57th Anniversary celebration takes it a step further celebrating the generosity of others in their endeavors to make those less fortunate smile.”
Well, there are few things I know of that make people happier then super cheap pancakes!
Happy Birthday IHOP and thanks for giving back!

CHICAGO — A new study from the Chicago-based research firm Technomic has found that the bakery café foodservice segment has outpaced industry sales and unit growth for each of the past three years, with a 12 per cent increase during that time and a 4.2 per cent unit growth.“Bakery cafe chains continue gaining market share in a zero-growth environment,” said Darren Tristano, Technomic EVP.
“More consumers are visiting these restaurants and are gaining familiarity, but nearly one in three consumers surveyed still haven’t been to a bakery café concept. Their most common reasons have to do with location and unfamiliarity. As more units open, and, as marketing efforts continue to boost awareness, there is little reason to think the segment will not continue to perform well.”
Among the study’s findings 71 per cent of consumers have visited a bakery café, up from 43 per cent in 2008. Other findings indicate there is room for more variety on bakery café breakfast menus. In the meantime, popular offerings include wraps and sandwiches featuring artisanal breads such as Focaccia and Ciabatta. And, the study shows a focus on service is important to customers.

In the meantime, I asked a few academics for their thoughts on whether Dylan had committed punishable literary theft. After reviewing the similarities, they gave mixed marks. Longtime Dylan fan and George Washington University English professor Dan Moshenberg told me no alarm bells went off for him while reviewing the passages. Gwynn Dujardin, an English professor from Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, had more issues with Dylan’s approach, noting the irony that “Dylan is cribbing [from] a contemporary publication that is under copyright instead of from Moby-Dick itself, which is in the public domain.” A final reviewer, Juan Martinez, a literature professor at Northwestern University, said, “If Dylan was in my class and he submitted an essay with these plagiarized bits, I’d fail him.”
A third serious setback was Egypt. The collapse of Hosni Mubarak’s regime in 2011, amid giant protests, raised hopes that democracy would spread in the Middle East. But the euphoria soon turned to despair. Egypt’s ensuing elections were won not by liberal activists (who were hopelessly divided into a myriad of Pythonesque parties) but by Muhammad Morsi’s Muslim Brotherhood. Mr Morsi treated democracy as a winner-takes-all system, packing the state with Brothers, granting himself almost unlimited powers and creating an upper house with a permanent Islamic majority. In July 2013 the army stepped in, arresting Egypt’s first democratically elected president, imprisoning leading members of the Brotherhood and killing hundreds of demonstrators. Along with war in Syria and anarchy in Libya, this has dashed the hope that the Arab spring would lead to a flowering of democracy across the Middle East.

Megan Fox and Brian Austin Green’s relationship has seen a lot of ups and downs, and recently it was discovered that the couple might be heading towards a divorce; however, we have no confirmation from the two as of yet!
MEGAN FOX AND BRIAN AUSTIN GREEN
The speculations of separation started catching fire when Brian posted a picture on Instagram of a butterfly with the caption that goes like ‘Eventually butterflies get bored sitting on a flower for too long. They start feeling smothered.
Brian is known to be kind of a person who does not share a lot of pictures on his social media and well if he has shared this, then there might be a significant reason for it.
If fans do not know Megan Fox has a butterfly quote tattoo with goes like ‘We will all laugh at gilded butterflies.’
This post appeared after Jennifer was spotted hanging out with Machine Gun Kelly, well is there something going on between the two? Well, we cannot say anything for sure, but this does spark separation rumors.
Amidst the Coronavirus pandemic, the two have been living separately which is odd, the couple got married in 2010, there were divorce rumors back in 2015 when the two were ready to get separated, but then we saw Jennifer with a baby bump and things were wrapped up.
The couple shares three kids Noah Shannon 7, Bodhi Ransom 4, and Journey River 3, neither of them has addressed the divorce rumors as of yet.
We will keep fans updated with the latest news about the couple until then continue reading!

The firm is selling its Zinnat operation to Swiss-owned Sandoz, which will transfer manufacturing to its own plants in Austria.
GSK’s site in Ulverston, Cumbria, and its Zinnat buildings in Barnard Castle, County Durham, are to close by 2025.
The firm said it wanted to “simplify its portfolio” and invest in research and development and new products.
Its other business in Barnard Castle is not affected.
The Ulverston site currently employs 130 staff manufacturing the cephalosporin class of antibiotics under the brand name Zinnat.
There had been hopes a buyer could be found who wanted to maintain manufacturing in the town.
GSK said it had sold its Zinnat arm for £253m ($350m) plus additional payments of up to £108m ($150m) depending on milestones being reached during the transfer, which would take about four years.
“At this time, and in the absence of any other alternative, GSK would propose to close the Ulverston site and to decommission the Barnard Castle Zinnat buildings,” it said.
The deal still has to be given the relevant regulatory approval.
The company said it was “providing support to potentially-affected employees and is committed to supporting the local communities affected by the potential closure of manufacturing facilities”.

There are more than 61 million malnourished children in India , a number that accounts for 1/3 of all the malnourished children in the world. Although more than 96% of all children in India enroll in primary school only 58.3% enroll in upper primary school, with a full 40% dropping out . Of those that drop out, 60% will do so to supplement family income through domestic work . Another 30% will drop out of school in order to take jobs to earn money.
This meal program provides children a hot, nutritious lunch using local produce and catering to regional tastes. It gives these children an incentive to come to school, stay in school and provides the basic nutrients for them to focus on learning. A new kitchen has been built in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh by the Caterpillar Foundation. We are currently seeking operational funds for the kitchen to purchase meal distribution vessels and vehicles.
Our meals bring hungry children to school where they have access to life-changing educational opportunities. We will be able to educate all children and provide them the opportunity to go on to secondary and tertiary learning institutions, thereby increasing the literacy rate and helping children escape the cycle of poverty and realize their full potential.

The members of the Church of God in New Hampshire commemorated their fathers and grandfathers through a Father’s Day appreciation event. On June 21, 2015, the church was filled with family members, excited to spend a special day together. Through the event, they acknowledged and thanked their dads for all of their love and sacrifice.
The evening opened with a touching video that displayed many of the difficulties fathers go through and the sacrifices they make while raising their children. Next, another short video played, which church members had put together in recognition of their fathers’ efforts. The film expressed members’ heartfelt thanks and love for their dads and grandfathers. Many of the viewers shed tears while reminiscing on the dedication of their fathers and the hardships they had to overcome while leading their children to live upright lives.
Sons and daughters also entertained the audience with performances, including musical numbers and choreographed dances. Even little children prepared a special performance for their fathers. The dads were proud and happy to see their kids perform at the event.
Families also took pictures together in a photo booth. Members printed the photos so the families could have a souvenir to remember the special time they shared.


MILWAUKEE (CBSDFW.COM/AP) – Davey Nelson, a Milwaukee Brewers broadcaster and former All-Star infielder who also coached in the majors, has died. He was 73 years old.
The Brewers said that Nelson died Monday after a long illness.
Nelson joined the Brewers as a roving minor league instructor in 2001 before joining the big league team as first base coach two years later. He became an analyst with FOX Sports Wisconsin in 2006 and took a front-office role with the Brewers organization.
Nelson also had coaching stints with the Chicago White Sox, Oakland Athletics, Cleveland Indians and the Montreal Expos.
He played in the majors from 1968-77 as an infielder, and was with the Washington Senators when the franchise moved to become the Texas Rangers. Nelson made the 1973 AL All-Star team after batting .286 with 43 stolen bases with Texas.
Nelson also played with the Indians and Kansas City Royals during his career.

WESTFIELD — There was one common denominator in the Silver Creek 12U All-Star team’s run to district and state titles — it lost one game.
Silver Creek manager Damon Lewis is hoping that trend continues after Bowling Green (Ky.) Eastern blasted the boys from Sellersburg 15-4 in the Great Lakes Regional on Monday morning at the Grand Park Sports Complex in Westfield.
“We seem to like to lose one game every tournament we play in, so maybe that was our one game,” Lewis said.
Silver Creek will face Glendale (Wis.) at 4 p.m. Tuesday in an elimination game. Glendale lost 7-3 to River Forest (Ill.) Youth in Sunday’s second game after Silver Creek outlasted West Side (Ohio) 4-3 in the regional opener.
Monday morning, Silver Creek fell behind early and never could recover.
“I don’t know what it was, we kind of looked lethargic from the get-go, and Kentucky was excited to be there,” Lewis said.
The Kentucky state champs tallied two runs in the top of the first inning off Silver Creek starter Spencer Durham, before Creek countered with one in the bottom of the inning.
“Two-to-1 after the first inning, I thought ‘OK, we can hang with them,’” Lewis said. “And they had the bottom of their order coming up. But then even the guys in the bottom of the lineup were hitting well. Then, it just kept going.”
Bowling Green Eastern tallied eight runs — thanks in part to some Silver Creek miscues — in the second.
“Our defense, which has been our strong suit the whole time we’ve been playing, had quite a few errors in that second inning and it kind of went from there,” said Lewis, whose team committed four errors in the game.
Eastern added five more runs in the third to increase its lead to 15-1.
“They’re probably the best hitting team I’ve seen here, by far,” Lewis said. “They reminded me of New Albany a little bit because they sprayed the ball all over the field.”
Silver Creek plated one run in the third and two in the fourth before the game ended early due to the mercy rule.
Silver Creek finished with six hits while a trio of Bowling Green Eastern pitchers combined for seven strikeouts.
“Their [starting] pitcher did a good job of mixing up his pitches and kept us off-balance,” Lewis said. “Our guys can really hurt a fastball, but they’re still learning how to hit the off-speed stuff. Their pitcher did a good job of mixing it up.”
Silver Creek will try to bounce back — and stay alive in the regional — today.
“Hopefully we’ll come with a different mindset,” Lewis said.

The Guard is a that tangled weed thing on a family coat of arms.
One time in an absolute dive in Tampa I was talking the guy next to me and he informs me he was a Concord Cop with Bill Nutter from Company C 110th Armor.
A month goes by and a guy pulls out a challenge coin and tells me he was in the 182. He was not but the fact he told me that is weird as that was the unit in Concord Armory before 110th Armor.
All this has to do with Europe.
I had two sponsors in Boston A.A.
One was in Vietnam via Germany in an Armored Division.
The other was a German Scientist and Inventor.
Over the years people have told me it is the old woman that runs the Guest House in Germany that chooses you for the Rosicrucians.
The Guest House is legalized prostitution.
So the Madam chooses you to carry out the Bishop’s will.
John was an actual Rosicrucian.
I think he got picked as an MP in Germany.
Not as crazy as it sounds as it is Masonry but instead of building allegory it uses horticulture and animal husbandry with alchemy.
John was a Janitor at Raytheon.
After he died in 2001 I never got a Sons of Liberty phone call again.
When elected at the Convention to run the YDVA I announced all my actions were in the Memory of John and Arthur.
John died of a heart thing in his 40s and Arthur committed suicide in his 30s.
To me they were the Guard.
In Company C I became part of the Capello crew.
John Capello had joined the Regular Army and got out and joined the Guard with his high school buddy Arthur Derosier who had been in the Marines.
John’s little brother Jimmy “Crackers” Capello was in the crew as well.
They all were Waltham High in the 1970s.
Your Sons of Liberty Team was not in your unit. This made sense as the STARC, or state command people, could then move people around with out anyone noticing.
Just remember when someone gets elected to a high office the Guard has planted people in the crowd.
Me and Bud did George H.W. Bush’s Inauguration in 1989.
You would build a Sons of Liberty Team or a three man cell based on the Stripes for Buddies program.
You picked people of your political party as the way it was set up then was you needed to find a team loyal to you so if you got a commission you did not get car bombed.
So your supply clerk was your spy.
He prevented the $10,000 bill for missing equipment that ended your career if not paid.
I got car bombed before that but built my team.
I was assigned to Company C 1-110th Armor out of the Concord Armory.
We had to march in the Patriots Day Parade but wore the Army field uniform not colonial garb.
We drank beer and some guys smoked pot after live fire training was done.
It was another time.

Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV) Battery Cooling
New hybrid and electric vehicles rely on costly battery-operated systems that often require maintenance or repair when exposed to temperatures outside a narrow, stringent operating range. II-VI Marlow is developing thermoelectric modules which will stabilize the temperature of a vehicle battery to achieve maximum performance in all environments. This solution increases battery efficiency, extends battery life and increases battery capacity in the coldest temperatures.
Other non-thermoelectric solutions attempt to achieve a similar result through a compressor-based approach. Difficulty during implementation and maintenance, however, poses a major concern when operating under the 300W threshold. II-VI Marlow thermoelectric implementations provide simple, reliable and maintenance-free solutions to maximize battery performance while meeting the size, weight and input power requirements of your application.

Discover what’s new with wild and bred freshwater fish.
By David A. Lass
Although thousands of aquarium fish already exist, new ones are discovered constantly. This feature covers best-selling and new freshwater fish, animals from the wild that have just been introduced into the hobby and the latest creations by fish breeders in Florida and the Far East.
The best-selling fish and invertebrates are the old standbys, said retailers, importers and distributors.
"The freshwater market, while always changing, is just not nearly as subject to fads as the marine trade and hobby,” said Mike Tuccinardi, marketing director for Segrest Farms Inc., a fish wholesaler in Gibsonton, Fla. "Because of this, it will always be dominated by some of the ‘classics’—common tetras, livebearers, mbuna and the like.”
Retail stores echoed that trend.
Sherri L. Collins/I-5 publishing at Safari Pet Centre
"It’s always the basic bread-and-butter fish that sell the best,” said Brent Mills, owner of Aquatica, a 400-tank store in Montreal.
"Tetras and barbs are probably our best-selling fish, and our water is liquid rock, so that limits to a certain extent the fish that do well for us and our customers,” said Amanda Kiviniemi, whose family owns Animal City Pet Centers in Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Another retailer recalled the saying, "everything old is new again.”
"It’s all about finding fish that were common a few years ago and are now hard to find,” said Adam Marquez, co-owner of 7 Seas Tropical Fish in San Pedro, Calif.
Specifically, lamprologine shell-dwellers from Africa, he said, and many of the "L-number” plecos, and especially the true zebra pleco. Private breeders are now stepping up and producing some fish that were popular a few years ago but then were simply not around, he added.
Glofish continue to be big sellers, Tuccinardi said.
"This last year saw the introduction of three new varieties of Glofish,” he said.
Stores that stock Glofish benefit not just from the sale of the fish, but also from the complete tank setups and accessories specifically marketed for them, said retailers.
"The Glofish tetras are one of our best-selling fish,” said Brett Varnum, co-owner of Laconia Pet Center in Laconia, N.H. "I recently had one customer who spent $80 on a complete Glofish setup.”
"Glofish are great sellers for us, especially with our water conditions,” said Kiviniemi.
New From the Wild
New fish coming into the industry from the wild add color and spark, said retailers.
"As the islands of Sumatra, Borneo and Sulawesi become more accessible to collectors, we have seen an influx of fascinating species imported from this region,” Tuccinardi noted. "New halfbeaks, wild betta species, the beautiful samurai gourami and some incredible inverts have been some of the more notable imports from the area.”
Other large importers gave similar reports.
"In addition to the islands of Indonesia, Burma and India also have been bringing new fish into the industry,” said Harold Cheng, owner of Always Quality Aquatics in Los Angeles.
Cheng imports fish from all the sources in the Far East.
"The problem is consistency,” he said. "They might have some great new fish from India, Burma or China that come in for a couple of weeks, and then they are no longer available.”
Livebearers are available in a sometimes overwhelming variety (the list from Singapore this week has nine pages, two rows each page, of guppies, swordtails, platies and mollies).
"There are some new young guys in Florida who are producing excellent livebearers,” said Steve Richmond, owner of Lovely Pets in Quincy, Mass. "They have the deepest true-red velvet swords that I have seen for many years, and gorgeous sanke swordtails.”
Designer bettas—new types with high price tags—are becoming very popular, Richmond added.
Shrimp and How to Market Them
"We usually will have 10 to 15 different shrimp available each week at $1 or less,” said Harold Cheng, owner of Always Quality Aquatics in Los Angeles. "We also have some of the newest varieties for a little more.”
Most stores have found that the best way to market shrimp is to display them in small tanks right at the checkout counter. Here’s what they had to say about what sells best in their stores.
"My shrimp sales are growing by leaps and bounds. I try to carry a good variety, including flowers, Amanos, orange, fire red, red cherry and yellows.”—Steve Richmond, owner of Lovely Pets in Quincy, Mass.
"Our best-sellers are Amanos, cherry reds, red fires and yellows.”—Brett Varnum, co-owner of Laconia Pet Center in Laconia, N.H.
"Crystal reds, cherry reds—anything that is red at a good price point—that’s what sells for us.”—Brent Mills, owner of Aquatica in Montreal
"We sell a lot of crowntails, half moons and ‘dumbo angel wing’ bettas at prices ranging from $10 to $15,” said Varnum of Laconia Pet Center. "We also sell nano tanks for bettas that include a small heater; bettas are not really happy at ‘room temperature.’”
New From the Breeders
The problem of new fish coming in from the wild and being very popular but not being very available is usually solved by commercial fish breeders, primarily in the Far East and Florida, industry insiders said.
"We’ve also had several fish species that traditionally have been sourced from the wild or from farms in the Far East move to Florida production, which is exciting,” said Tuccinardi. "Some notable examples include the red-spotted or ‘super red’ gold severum and the black ghost knifefish.”
Another example is the roseline shark/Dennison’s barb. When this fish first hit the hobby, demand was incredible, and rumors began that the source in India was exhausted. Not only was the rumor false, but breeders, especially in Singapore, soon began producing fish commercially. Another fish once considered "difficult” but now available in many varieties is the discus.
"We have found that there are two keys to selling and shipping good discus,” said Cheng of Always Quality Aquatics. "We don’t ship the smaller sizes, and we ship each discus individually bagged. This has made a huge difference for the retail stores and distributors that are our customers.”
As new and rare fish from the wild are introduced into the hobby, breeders strive to improve the colors and hardiness of the fish.
"Blue variants seem to be very popular,” said Arjan De-Zwart, vice president of Ruinemans Aquarium Inc., a large importer and distributor in Miami. "Just take a look—electric blue rams, blue dempseys, electric blue Acaras—the hobbyists are telling us what they like.”
"The most impressive fish for us in 2013 has been without a doubt the electric blue Acara,” Tuccinardi said. "We were the first to import these into the U.S. this past summer, and the reception has been overwhelmingly positive.”
Small versions of larger fish are being introduced and are enjoying considerable popularity.
"Even though they are a little pricey for the size of the fish,” said Varnum of Laconia Pet Center, "the small freshwater pipefish and the dwarf pea puffers are becoming very popular.”
The appeal of nano tanks continues to be very strong; one reason is because there is now a good selection of small fish available, he added.
"As it stands, I would estimate 90 to 95 percent of all freshwater fish in the trade are now commercially raised,” Tuccinardi said. "We are at an interesting juncture where we find ourselves as an importer looking at wild fisheries in a different light than was the case a decade ago. We’re now making a more conscious effort to support some of these fisheries, even if we don’t ‘need’ the fish in a sense. There’s a growing realization that should some of these artisanal, low-volume ornamental fisheries collapse due to lack of demand, the communities which the fisheries support will be forced to turn to other (often much more destructive) means to make a living.”

In the realms of electrical and industrial thermal management, every application is unique. Therefore, there is no single solution that generally works best. To meet such a wide variety of needs efficiently and effectively, heat exchangers offer eco-friendly thermal management solutions that address nearly every industry and application’s specifications. Heat exchangers themselves come in various forms, and collectively, the thermal management technology has become the most frequently implemented solutions for applications of all sizes.
The Adaptability of Advanced Technology
Change is a defining characteristic of nearly all modern technologies, and compared to traditional thermal management solutions (like air conditioning), heat exchangers are the most versatile ways to cool electrical components. Traditionally, electrical cabinets and machinery had to be designed with the dimensions of cooling units in mind. Air conditioners take up considerable space and utilize complex machinery to operate, which severely limits their adaptability. With more versatile heat exchangers, technology designers have more freedom in their designs, knowing that heat exchangers can be efficiently adapted to ensure that the technology remains properly cooled.
Analysis and Prototyping, Just to Make Sure
Their unique thermal management methods are what make heat exchangers versatile enough to fit most applications. However, their success is ensured during the initial design and analysis phases. Skilled technical and thermal management experts carefully analyze each application’s specified operating conditions to choose the most appropriate heat exchanger design. Through in-house, rapid 3D prototyping, heat exchanger designs can be thoroughly analyzed in a real-world setting to ensure their optimal function before the manufacturing phase.

Crate-Trained Dogs Only
I enjoy long walkies at the park.
I grew up with dogs in my life. I got my first puppy in the early 90's. I'm always walking or hiking with my little angel, Mischa. I am a member of a private land conservation group where we enjoy offleash time. Sometimes we walk at the West Hartford reservoir. Most times it's just a quick trip to the local park. Sometimes we walk together with my Godmother who raises Fidelco puppies. I'm always active ...
What Steve would like to know about your dog
I'd prefer to meet dogs that are not aggressive towards my own. I can handle food/treat aggression or even toy aggression, but I will not tolerate outright hostility.

Researchers have discovered a new marker that may help identify those at maximum risk for cognitive decline and the development of Alzheimer's disease.
Duke University Medical Center researchers used functional magnetic resonance imaging, also known as fMRI, on people with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), to track regions of the brain that become active or inactive when participating in tasks that involve memory.
People with MCI are at increased risk for developing Alzheimer's disease in the future and approximately 30-50 percent of MCI subjects will develop Alzheimer's if followed over a three- to five-year period.
"On the other hand, the fMRI scans of MCI subjects who did not convert looked more like those of healthy normal people, and could therefore be reassuring," said Dr. Petrella, who is director of the Alzheimer's Imaging Research Laboratory and associate professor of radiology at Duke.
According to him, the findings focus on an area of the brain known as the posteromedial cortex, which has recently been implicated in personal memory.
"Our theory is that the posteromedial cortex may be our brain's 'cruise control' that normally deactivates when we are trying to remember things, so resources can be sent to other areas of the brain that encode memories. However, in people with mild cognitive impairment or Alzheimer's disease, the deactivation does not happen and the posteromedial cortex remains active," he said.
In this study, researchers conducted fMRI scans on 75 people, including 34 with mild cognitive impairment, 13 with Alzheimer's disease and 28 with normal cognition. Study participants completed standard neuropsychological testing and were monitored with fMRI while performing a memory task matching names and faces. Patients were then followed for three and a half years to determine how their cognition changed over time.
The researchers found that approximately a third of the MCI subjects converted to Alzheimer's in three and half years after their initial scans. The conversion to Alzheimer's was determined by study doctors using routine clinical and memory tests. fMRI level of deactivation was found to significantly predict which MCI subjects converted to Alzheimer's.
Study authors said that while other works have focused on the brain's ability to turn on certain regions, their research determined that losing the ability to turn off a region of the brain might be a more sensitive marker of future cognitive decline.
"The Holy Grail in this field is to predict with 100 percent accuracy whether a 50-year old who forgets names will get dementia or not. We are not there yet but are inching closer and closer everyday. The combination of genetic, biochemical and imaging biomarkers will soon become the gold standard," said study co-author P. Murali Doraiswamy, M.D.
The findings are published in PLoS ONE.


Tenders are invited for Graphitizing
From repairing and rebuilding coreless and channel furnaces to large induction heating and graphitizing
equipment, EMSCO has generations of experience servicing foundry equipment in almost every scenario imaginable, including open-atmosphere and vacuum applications.
1 to 30 parts by weight of composite graphite particles containing boron, obtained by heating and graphitizing
carbon black together with boron or a compound containing boron.
The graphite electrode production process consists of six stages: forming, baking, pitch-impregnation, rebaking, graphitizing
, and machining.
modification was made with two types of modifying substances: FeSi (~75%Si) and FeSiSr (~45%Si, ~0.
The investment will result in the conversion of the anode baking furnace at the Lannemezan site as well as the installation of a cathode machining line which will lead to greater graphitizing
capacity at Notre-Dame-de-BrianAs.
In  general scheme of SER temperature dependence of carbon materials within temperature range from 273 K to the temperature zone of their complete graphitizing
is proposed (Figure 1).
Moreover, chill can be reduced by raising carbon equivalent, and by adding silicon (pointed out earlier), inoculants, and graphitizing
During the quarter, we also experienced some unplanned downtime due to an outage of certain graphitizing
equipment at our manufacturing facility in Brazil which resulted in approximately 3,000 metric tons of lost graphite electrode production and approximately $2 million of higher graphite electrode costs.
The company has hundreds of combined years of experience with coreless and channel furnaces as well as large induction heating and graphitizing
SCMG is produced by first processing raw material of carbon with SDK's proprietary technology to optimize its shape as anode material, and heating it at high temperatures in a special graphitizing
For all the cast iron charges studied, in order to obtain a graphite modification, we used the same type of graphitizing
modifier (FeSiSr), in sufficient percentage, in order to obtain the silicon percentage necessary.

The Tube released in 1987 by Quicksilva Ltd is an arcade shoot-em-up that contains not one, but THREE distinct play styles.
We take on the role of scavenger and have found ourselves in THE TUBE - a giant scrapyard in space. There are 8 stages we have to escape, each area consisting of 3 parts.
The first area, called the Transfer Zone is a 3D vector graphics affair and you just have to shoot everything that comes your way until you reach the entrance to the Defence Mechanism Tunnel. In this part we get some side scrolling action and you have to shoot or avoid things that fall or things that go up. Being able to slow to a complete stop is a nice touch here!
The final area of a stage is the Capture Area, this time its a top-down affair with absolutely comical consequences for bumping into the scenery! There's no shooting at all in this part, in fact I haven't fully grasped the goals of this part. There are ships that you can dock with, and after a playing a mini game, can take fuel from. The first time I played I took energy from two ships but didn't seem to progress, subsequent playthroughs took me to the next stage after completing the mini game just once.
So do we have the perfect combination of 3D Starstrike, R-Type and Xenon all rolled in to one? Well no. The Transfer Zone and the Defence Mechanism Tunnel just don't have enough going on and the Capture Area makes little sense to me. The mini game can be a little confusing at times too.
The graphics and sound are fine, but after such a gorgeous loading screen I was disappointed. The menu screen music though.. Oh, such beautiful tones from that AY chip (assuming you're on the 128K version!) - honestly, even if you don't want to play the game just load it up for that music!
It's worth a go, just to see how the 3 play styles gel together.

Even though none of the end of the world predictions have ever come true, the latest prediction that the world will end on Friday December 21 2012 has caught the attention of millions of doomsday and end of the world enthusiasts from around the world.
Thanks to the Internet, the number of people who believe that the world will end on 21/12/2012 has spread like wildfire. In fact, it has been reported that 10% of Americans believe that the world will end in 2012.
Many doomsday preppers have gone to great lengths to prepare for the coming end of the world, with some even building Noah’s Arc replicas.
IN China, a farmer has prepared for the coming end of the world by creating a giant survival pod made out of fiberglass and steel. Supposedly, the pod is airtight, fitted with oxygen tanks, seatbelts and has enough room for around 14 people.
In the Netherlands, a dedicated doomsday enthusiasts has created a replica of Noah’s Arc. It has been reported that the ark is just under half the size of the Titanic. The Arc is currently docked in the Dutch city of Dordrecht.
Doomsday enthusiasts are flocking to the sleepy village of Bugarach France where it is believed to be the only place on earth that will be saved from the prediction that Aliens will arrive on earth on Friday, December 21 2012.
In fact, the mayor of Bugarach has decided to shutdown the city to prevent believers from inundating his town.
One Doomsday Prepper from the United States has built a 700-acre compound and safe house west of San Antonio. Barbed-wire fences and bullet proof walls all form part of his “Safe House”.
At the other end of the spectrum, those who do not believe that the world will end on Friday December 21 2012 are claiming that rather than the world ending on 21/12/2012, a global spiritual awakening (spiritual reset) called the Birth 2012 movement will occur.
Organisers of the Birth 2012 movement claim that more than 100 million people around the world have signed up to the movement and will participate in the “awakening” on 21/12/2012.
The good news is that not everyone believes that the world is going to end. Thousands of couples have booked weddings for Friday December 21 2012. The Marriage Bureau in Vegas has doubled its staffing levels and around 80 wedding chapels have readied themselves for the rush.
Even if the Doomsday predictions are correct, Christmas Island / Kiribati and Samoa will be the first places on earth to witness the end of the world.


When the prototype Hypermotard was first shown at the 2005 Milan show it represented the creation of a new sector, one that bridged the gap between refined sportsbikes and minimalist supermotards. But some people at Ducati had reservations about the initial Hypermotard concept and were unsure if people were ready for such a motorcycle. bridging.
Despite these reservations, the project continued, driven by the belief in the upright and in-control riding position of a dirtbike, but without the harsh characteristics of its single cylinder engine. These confident few designed a bike that combined the agility and lightweight precision of a supermotard with the refined power and characteristics of a charismatic L-Twin sportbike.
The launch of the Hypermotard in 2007 created a new crossover category: pure fun reinvented in a motorcycle that can be used every day.
This motorbike proved that Fun has no limits. Powered by the new Testastretta 11° 113 hp engine and Stylishly essential in appearance, the Hypermotard 939 is also highly advanced, with a full range of technological details like Ride-By-Wire with Riding Modes, Traction Control, ABS, a sophisticated LCD display, and LED turn signals integrated into the handguards. Combining handling, horsepower and enthusiasm, the Hypermotard 939 brings 100% enjoyment to every ride.
With the Hypermotard 939, performance and thrills are around every corner.
In its hand protectors, more typically fitted to off-road models, the new Hypermotard 939 integrates LED turn signals in order to blend in perfectly with the model’s clean design and the need to use it in the city. The attention paid to the flow of the lines has allowed an essential and minimalist image of this family, despite the bikes’ complex water-cooled engine and thoroughly modern technology.
The new Hypermotard 939 family therefore stands out because of its proportions, ergonomics and practicality, besides being equipped with the latest Ducati technology. While the Hypermotard 939 and Hypermotard 939 SP versions faithfully maintain an essential Supermotard look, the Hyperstrada 939 seems less extreme and has specific features aimed at touring.
Pricing and availability are not listed currently, so we will update with that information as soon as it’s made public.

It’s amazing how governing can cause our Dear Leader to see a bit of reality. After all his self-righteous indignation about the Bush administration’s use of military tribunals to try the terrorists being held in Guantanamo Bay and after suspending them to examine how the detainees can be tried in the US, Barack Obama has decided that those awful military tribunals may be the best way to go after all:
The Obama administration is moving toward reviving the military commission system for prosecuting Guantánamo detainees, which was a target of critics during the Bush administration, including Mr. Obama himself.
Officials said the first public moves could come as soon as next week, perhaps in filings to military judges at the United States naval base at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, outlining an administration plan to amend the Bush administration’s system to provide more legal protections for terrorism suspects.
Continuing the military commissions in any form would probably prompt sharp criticism from human rights groups as well as some of Mr. Obama’s political allies because the troubled system became an emblem of the effort to use Guantánamo to avoid the American legal system.
Officials who work on the Guantánamo issue say administration lawyers have become concerned that they would face significant obstacles to trying some terrorism suspects in federal courts. Judges might make it difficult to prosecute detainees who were subjected to brutal treatment or for prosecutors to use hearsay evidence gathered by intelligence agencies.
Obama administration officials — and Mr. Obama himself — have said in the past that they were not ruling out prosecutions in the military commission system. But senior officials have emphasized that they prefer to prosecute terrorism suspects in existing American courts. When President Obama suspended Guantánamo cases after his inauguration on Jan. 20, many participants said the military commission system appeared dead.
But in recent days a variety of officials involved in the deliberations say that after administration lawyers examined many of the cases, the mood shifted toward using military commissions to prosecute some detainees, perhaps including those charged with coordinating the Sept. 11 attacks.
“The more they look at it,” said one official, “the more commissions don’t look as bad as they did on Jan. 20.”
You don’t say.
Ed Morrissey asks a great question:
Does anyone else find it fascinating that the Obama administration leaked this on a Friday night? I suspect that they know just how much flak they will take over this reversal, especially in the media. This seems designed to bury the story in a weekend cycle, with a prayer that a big event occurs between now and Monday to keep it buried.
Maybe Madonna will get married again. Who knows?
Naw. Obama doesn’t need Madonna. The MSM will do Obama’s bidding enthusiastically and will do what’s necessary to keep it buried. The willing accomplices in the media, instead, will discuss what they think is of much greater concern to America: Miss California’s breast implants.
Jules Crittenden says “Ha ha” I can’t really blame him for his “I told you so,” Cheerio spewing retort because, well, he told him so.
Of course, when Obama finally addresses his backpedaling, he’ll argue that his suspending the military tribunals to begin with was the cautious thing to do, that he needed the time to examine the situation to make sure he took the course that balanced the rule of law and kept Americans safe at the same time.
So, what happened to all the bad symbolism that surrounds Guantanamo Bay and holding detainees indefinitely?
“In reality and symbolically, the idea that we have people in legal black holes is an extremely serious black mark,” Tribe said. “It has to be dealt with.”
Well, maybe not so much.
Update: Mark Steyn on what will surely be the MSM’s spin regarding Obama’s sudden discovery that military tribunals are the right vehicle for prosecuting detainees after all:
Any day now, the new conventional wisdom will emerge: Obama has turned around Bush’s failed war on terror because he’s had the courage to do the tough things that, while not always attractive, are ruthlessly effective.
Update II: Tom Maguire on a tale of two headlines:
First, an amusing headline:
U.S. May Revive Guantánamo Military Courts
The US? Who is in charge here? The Times managed more specificity last January:
OBAMA WILL SHUT GUANTANAMO SITE AND C.I.A. PRISONS.
That darn U.S., undoing Obama’s good work. Oh, blame the headline writer – the text of the story makes clear that this is another Obama reversal.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Tourism in Orlando is back, and hotels say they’re struggling to find enough staff to keep up.
It’s part of the bigger issue with the job situation in Central Florida over the past two years.
Employers have increased pay since the start of the pandemic.
There are more people, more traffic and more dollars. But they need more help to keep up.
And there’s more than one reason why getting more people on staff just isn’t easy.
Visit Orlando said while they’re hearing more concern over how much travel costs, they’re not seeing it impact tourism yet.

Volume 35, Issue 113, Pages 296-330
One of the reasons of the failure by many investment projects in several developing countries is due to the failure to adopt a such projects on the study, analysis and trade-offs among them, because to do such projects failed means more waste of resources to which States are in dire need of them, so the process differentiation Among the projects could serve as a way to optimize the use of available resources. Research problem is identified by the problems faced by the trade-off between investment projects in Iraq. The objective of this research to highlight the importance of preparing feasibility studies and benefits and demonstrate the importance of modern information technology in cemented and comprehensiveness of economic feasibility studies, as well as identifying the frameworks liability and professional accounting and auditing at the failure of investment projects already preparing feasibility studies them, and clear the importance of research, especially in developing countries that they must pay more attention to the themes and areas of investment tools most adapted and benefit to these communities and in a scientific and practical through optimization of the efficiency of these investments. The researcher reached to the importance of adopting a number of ways when the trade-off between investment projects and not just in some ways one of which was a substitute for other, but to deal with it for the purpose of providing a comprehensive picture of the project.

SHERMAN -- Union steelworkers in Sherman voted Tuesday to ratify a new three year contract with Terex Redrill.
Union representative Jerry Storms says the contract was ratified with an overwhelming majority--about 90 % of the union members voted for it.
Storms says the contract calls for a 3 % pay increase each year for three years and moderate changes in vacation policy.
Union members say their previous contract with Terex Redrill expired on Friday.
About 90 out of the 150 workers at Terex Redrill are union members.
