Home in Fairlawn fetches $412K
A 1,654-square-foot house in Fairlawn has changed hands. The property at 12-70 Second St. 1X was sold in July 2019. The $412,000 purchase price works out to $249 per square foot, which is near the Fairlawn median of $238. Price per square foot is a useful way to compare the value of homes of different sizes, but it does not account for the many other factors that affect home prices.
These nearby houses have also recently been sold:
- A 980-square-foot home at 10-14 Third St. 1X sold in July for $315,000, a price per square foot of $321.
- A 1,819-square-foot home at 12-51 George St. 1X sold in July for $388,000, a price per square foot of $213.
- A 1,752-square-foot home at 7-18 Berdan Ave. 1X sold in August for $399,000, a price per square foot of $228.
So far this year, 387 houses have sold in Fairlawn, where the median sales price is $430,000.

On February 26, 2014, Ways and Means Chairman Dave Camp (R-Mich.) released his proposal for tax reform. The draft lowers tax rates for individuals and businesses and broadens the tax base by eliminating over 220 tax credits, deductions and exclusions.
New Jersey Farm Bureau News
Farmers call them “flying rats” or “deer with wings.”
They gather by the tens of thousands every year about this time to graze on sprouting winter wheat, rye, alfalfa, and barley.
They’re voracious, persistent, and dirty, leaving behind a trail of droppings.
Mitchell Jones grew up knowing he wanted to be a farmer.
“I started in high school as an after-school activity,” Jones said. “I helped work on my neighbor’s farm.”
With his father working with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service and a grandfather in farming, it was inevitable that Jones would end up in the fields.
WASHINGTON (AP) – American agriculture has experienced a boom, with market values of crops, livestock and total agricultural products reaching record highs even as the amount of U.S. farmland declined, according to a new government survey.
Up before the sun, out in the fields all day and sometimes well into the night, tractor headlights illuminating rows of grain. West Windsor farmer Steve Jany has been doing that for 50 years.
But as if farming 1,800 acres at Rustin Farms wasn’t enough to keep him busy, Jany also devotes a significant amount of time and energy to the agriculture community, serving on a variety of boards and committees at the local and state levels.
Held in conjunction with the New Jersey Vegetable Growers meeting, the state agricultural convention will be held February 4-6 at the Trump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City.
There will be many worthwhile seminars. For a complete listing of the educational seminars, click here.
Lorraine Merrill, New Hampshire commissioner of agriculture, food and markets, expresses her view on GMO labeling in this OpEd piece in the Concord Monitor.
We hear a lot of comments and concerns from people on both sides of the debate about GMO labeling and House Bill 660, a bill that would require labeling of genetically engineered foods and agricultural commodities. And we get a lot of questions about the state Department of Agriculture’s position on the bill.
Advocates assert the public right to know what is in their food. It’s hard to argue with that sentiment. But what useful or verifiable information would the proposed labeling requirement provide? “Produced with Genetic Engineering” or “Partially Produced with Genetic Engineering” labels would merely convey the information that the food contains or may contain some ingredient from a crop that was derived through biotechnology. By whatever preferred name – biotechnology, genetic engineering, genetically modified – this describes a broad category of plant-breeding techniques. Each engineered plant variety is different – the label only identifies the use of GE, not the genetic traits or characteristics of the crop.
While workers trimmed peach trees at his Mullica Hill farm this month, Tom Holtzhauser was reluctantly mulling trims of another kind – to his workforce.
His labor costs will soar after the November passage of the constitutional amendment raising the state’s minimum wage $1 to $8.25 an hour and implementing annual cost-of-living adjustments that could increase it even more.
A workshop regarding the NJ Sales Tax law and how it effects those who board horses will be held Sunday January 19 1:00 – 3:30 at Rick’s Saddle Shop in Cream Ridge. The meeting will feature remarks from Assemblyman Ronald Dancer, who is the sponsor of legislation to alleviate some of the concerns with the NJ Sales Tax. Please RSVP if you plan to attend.

The future of New Jersey’s open-space program is at a standstill as unlikely opponents square off on how best to fund the state’s long-standing — but broke — effort to increase parkland, preserve farmland and demolish flood-prone homes and businesses. Two competing funding bills have pitted state Senate Democrats against Assembly Democrats in a deadlock that may not be resolved by the time the current legislative session ends a week from Monday.

Chairman and members of the Committee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today. My name is Kate Coventry, and I am a senior policy analyst at the DC Fiscal Policy Institute (DCFPI). DCFPI is a nonprofit organization that promotes budget choices to address DC’s economic and racial inequities and to build widespread prosperity in the District of Columbia, through independent research and policy recommendations.
I would like to focus my testimony on the need for services for residents with low incomes who have traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), also known as acquired brain injuries (ABIs), and the need to simplify the DC Healthcare Alliance recertification process.
The fiscal year (FY) 2021 budget included $698,000 to allow some behavioral health outpatient providers to offer enhanced services for TBIs as well as autism spectrum disorders. This is a great new public investment, but the DC Department of Health Care Finance (DHCF) needs to create a path forward for Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) certified-provider organizations to be among those allowed to offer these services. We also encourage DHCF to consult with stakeholders about proposed rules and move forward expeditiously with issuing formal rules to allow these services to become available.
The Council should also add additional funding to allow Alliance recipients to renew online annually, just like Medicaid recipients do to make the process more equitable and better ensure stable coverage.
TBIs Have Significant Negative Effects
TBIs are injuries resulting from a blow or jolt to the head, or a penetrating injury to the head, that disrupts the function of the brain. TBI in adults is associated with an increased risk for substance misuse, major depression, anxiety, and unemployment.
TBIs can negatively affect self-regulation and executive functioning. Self-regulation refers to a person’s ability to manage behavior associated with stress and anxiety. For a person with TBI, this might entail difficulty waiting or taking turns; difficulty calming down; or feeling overwhelmed in new places. Executive functioning refers to higher-order brain functions associated with setting goals, organizing, remembering, following directions, and focusing attention. People with TBIs can become easily confused or forgetful; have difficulty learning new information; filling out forms; and using public transportation. Some have difficulty problem-solving, and others have problems with judgment and decision-making. After experiencing a TBI, people may have trouble keeping track of time, making plans, making sure to complete plans or assignments, applying previously learned information to solve problems, analyzing ideas, and looking for help or more information when needed.
Vulnerable Populations Are Particularly at Risk
People who are homeless are at high risk of acquiring a TBI: 50 to 80 percent of them have sustained at least one brain injury prior to homelessness, national statistics show. The DC rate is elevated as well. In 2010, 199 DC homeless individuals were surveyed and nearly two-thirds had a TBI. TBI may be a risk factor for becoming homeless, research shows. Homeless individuals are also at a higher risk of acquiring a TBI because they are more likely to be victimized by assault, experience trauma, and have substance use disorders that can cause falls.
A 2016 survey of 159 adult DC behavioral health clients found that approximately 50 percent had a history of TBI. Additionally, active-duty military personnel are at very high risk. Domestic violence survivors are also at high risk because “the head and face are among the most common targets of intimate assaults.”  And finally, TBI is a common co-occurring disorder among people who are diagnosed with a major mental illness and who have a history of substance misuse and criminal justice involvement.
DC Residents with TBIs Are Not Getting the Services They Need, with Devastating Implications
Right now, DC behavioral health providers generally do not screen, identify, or treat the symptoms of TBI because TBI is not an official billable diagnosis in DC’s behavioral health system, and there is no system to train mental health providers. Community-based providers cannot receive payment for services provided to treat TBI, whether it is a standalone diagnosis or co-occurring disorder. This results in DC residents with TBIs not getting the care that they need. The new investment of $698,000 to allow some outpatient providers to offer enhanced services for both TBIs as well as autism spectrum disorders is a great first step, but more funding is needed to reach all residents in need.
The lack of services has terrible implications for individuals with TBI. Research has found that people with cognitive impairments like TBI may be falsely considered non-compliant and then get expelled from programs because these impairments prevent them from fully participating in the services. Or, sometimes they are banned from sites because of “disruptive behavior or failure to comply with prescribed treatments.” To the untrained eye, problems with executive functioning can look like lack of motivation, laziness, disregard for others, and a reluctance to engage in social activities. Given that a 2010 survey of 12 DC homeless service providers found that only one provider had received any training on TBIs, it is likely that many homeless individuals with TBI are being excluded from mainstream homeless services.
DHCF needs to create a path forward for DBH certified provider organizations to be among the providers allowed to offer these services. We also encourage DHCF to consult with stakeholders about proposed rules and move forward expeditiously with issuing formal rules to allow these services to become available.
Ensuring DC Alliance Recertification Is as Easy as Possible Is a Matter of Racial Equity
The DC Healthcare Alliance program provides critical health care coverage to residents with low incomes who do not qualify for Medicaid, most of whom are immigrants. Given their shared purpose, the DC Healthcare Alliance and Medicaid program should have identical, low-barrier application and recertification requirements. But the DC Healthcare Alliance requires participants to recertify every six months and normally does not allow participants to do this online, while Medicaid only requires annual recertification and allows participants to do so online. The District should be doing all it can to ensure that as many residents as possible have access to insurance and that access is as easy as possible. It is a matter of public health and racial equity.
This policy primarily hurts DC’s Black and brown residents. In FY 2020, 50 percent of Alliance recipients were Hispanic and 20 percent were Black.
DC’s current policy is part of a long, racist history of restrictions on immigrant access to public benefits. Prior to 1965, immigrants to the United States primarily came from Northern and European countries and federal law did not exclude immigrants from public benefit programs. In 1965, the immigration system changed, leading to greater numbers of immigrants coming from Asia and Latin America. Starting in the early 1970s, Congress and some states began restricting immigrants from public benefit programs. Political leaders and the press promoted stereotypes, including that Mexican women immigrated unlawfully to the United States to give children citizenship and public benefits, that Latinx immigrants were lazy and committing fraud when they accessed the benefits for which they were eligible. A 1990 survey of white people found that 46 percent thought Hispanics “generally preferred to live off welfare rather than be self-sufficient.” As a result of these racist stereotypes and a desire to cut spending on programs that benefited people who with low incomes, federal lawmakers excluded many legal immigrants and all undocumented immigrants from Medicaid. Because of this exclusion, DC immigrants have to rely on the Alliance but have stricter recertification requirements then other DC residents who receive Medicaid.
DHS should work with the DHCF to allow Alliance recipients to renew online annually, just like Medicaid recipients do. We should not erect higher barriers just because a resident is an immigrant or has a very low income—DC is a welcoming city, and our policies should reflect that value. The District waived the in-person interview requirement for the Alliance during the public health emergency. DC needs to make this improvement permanent and move to annual, virtual recertification to reflect our DC values.
Shortened Eligibility Period Has Led to Turnover, Poorer Health, and Higher Costs
In 2011, DC implemented restrictive procedures to maintain Alliance eligibility that immediately led to a sharp drop in participation. Thousands of residents who should have health insurance do not have it, and the uninsured rate is much higher among Latinx DC residents than others.
The restrictive rules also contribute to a high rate of turnover in the Alliance, as residents join the program but then drop off due to the time-intensive requirements. Prior to the pandemic, only 55 percent of Alliance participants renewed their eligibility when it comes up, data from the District’s DHCF show. Given that many Alliance members are working at jobs without paid leave and that visiting a DHS center can take an entire day or longer, it is not surprising that many are not able to renew their benefits.
We ask that the Department work with DHCF to simplify recertification requirements so that residents can retain their benefits.
Thank you for the opportunity to testify, and I’m happy to answer any questions.

In a major twist to ongoing protests in different Iranian cities, President Hassan Rouhani has called on France to “take immediate actions” against Mujahideen Khalq Organisation (MKO), a designated terrorist group based in Paris, which is said to be involved in inciting violent protests in the country.
According to Press TV, President Hassan Rouhani made a telephone call to his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday. He has reportedly said, “We expect the French government to abide by its legal responsibility towards this terrorist group along the lines of battling terrorism and violence.”
President Rouhani stressed to his French counterpart that no country would neglect public security and promotion of violence is separate from a nation’s legitimate right to express its demands and criticism.
During the telephonic contact with Rouhani, French President Emmanuel Macron brought up “the number of victims from the demonstrations” and two leaders also decided to postpone a visit by French Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian to Tehran. It was s scheduled for this week.
Earlier in the day, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, while meeting the martyrs’ families at his residence said that enemies have been using various tools to deal blows to the Iranian nation and the Islamic establishment in the course of the latest developments in the country.
The leader said, “During the events of the past several days, Iran’s enemies, using the various tools at their disposal, including money, weapons, politics, and security apparatus, have allied [with one another] to create problems for the Islamic establishment.”
Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, in his tweet post, has said that Islamic Republic’s security and stability depend on its people and “infiltrators will not be permitted to violate the rights of Iranians.
Iran's security and stability depend on its own people, who — unlike the peoples of Trumps regional "bffs”—have the right to vote and to protest. These hard-earned rights will be protected, and infiltrators will not be allowed to sabotage them through violence and destruction.— Javad Zarif (@JZarif) January 2, 2018
MKO has been involved in dozens of terror attacks after the success of Islamic Revolution in 1979. Their headquarters was shifted to Iraq under Saddam Hussein where Baghdad provided a newly built city with all luxuries to the group. It is the most hated terrorist group among the Iranians as it was involved in assassinations and bombings. MKO sided with former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein in his eight-year war against Iran in the 1980s.
According to Iranian estimates, out of the nearly 17,000 Iranians killed in terrorist attacks since 1979, about 12,000 were fallen victim to MKO’s terror attacks.
Over the past few days, the MKO has been calling for violence during street protests in the country.
The protests against rising prices and unemployment began on Thursday last in Mashhad, the second largest city and spread to different areas of the country. But the protesters changed their slogans to “Down with dictator”, “Death to Rouhani”, “No to Palestine”, “No to Syria” and “No to Iraq”.
This was the clear indicator that the protests were instigated and guided by the foreign powers whose proxies: Daesh (IS) have lost battle in Syria and Iraq. Iran played important role in both the countries in fight against Daesh terror.
The protesters were, in sporadic incidents, seen tearing the posters and sloganeering against the leadership of Ayatollah Khamenei.
BBC reports that the protests were spread to some 50 cities and towns including the capital Tehran and seen tens of thousands of people take to the streets to vent their anger at the entire establishment.
The protests turned violent at several locations and state media reported about the killing of at least 21 people in clashes with security forces.

GURUGRAM- Air India (AI) intends to restore its entire “long-grounded” fleet, which has been inactive since the Tata Group’s takeover approximately two years ago, as per sources informed FE.
Reportedly, more than 95% of the “long-grounded” fleet, comprising Boeing 787s, 777s, and certain narrowbody Airbus A320-type aircraft, has already been returned to service. Only two aircraft from the ‘long-grounded’ category are yet to be reintegrated into the fleet.
Air India Long-Grounded Fleet
“Numerous aircraft in this category were grounded due to component shortages and engine deficits. With an improvement in the supply chain, the remaining two will be restored to operational status soon.”
Upon the Tatas’ takeover, Air India possessed over 30 ‘long-grounded’ aircraft in its fleet, encompassing wide and narrowbody planes.
Sources indicate that, beyond components, extensive renovations were undertaken, including a makeover of the cabin interiors.
“Thousands of seats across all these aircraft were repaired, and the inflight entertainment systems were reinstated in as many old aircraft as possible. In certain instances, more than 30,000 spare parts per aircraft were needed. The entire cabin space underwent enhancements.”
“One crucial lesson from this experience was the importance of having in-house capabilities and facilities for spare parts supply.”
Tata Takeover and Makeover
The airline has committed to investing over $400 million in a comprehensive overhaul of its existing widebody fleet, consisting of 43 Boeing 777s and 787s, commencing next year.
This endeavor involves a complete transformation of the interiors, encompassing seats, inflight entertainment systems, carpets, curtains, galleys, lavatories, and various other components.
According to sources, the reintroduction of the fleet has not only elevated fleet utilization levels but has also enhanced the resilience of the network.
Additionally, the airline has augmented its capacity, reinstated several former international routes, and introduced new ones.

It’s been a decade since a group of protesters filled a small, private, grassless park in lower Manhattan and began a week-long occupation meant to draw attention to inequality and the monolith of financial corporations. of Wall Street.
The fury shown by ‘Occupy Wall Street’ against investment banks, hedge funds and big cats in general is no longer communicated by megaphones, rhythm sticks, free libraries and patchouli-flavored grievance lists for JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. Because 10 years later, this populist rage is found inside the stock market where retail traders have taken over to conduct a much different and more effective sit-in on Wall Street, in the digital realm.
For nearly two months, the 33,000 square foot Zuccotti Park became the epicenter of America’s post-financial crisis debate.
The self-proclaimed “99%” have spent these weeks stubbornly arguing that 1% of the world’s population controls inordinate global wealth and that America’s financial system has become a catalyst and source of the ever-growing divide between the haves and have-nots.
When the New York Police Department cleared the last of Zuccotti’s protesters on November 15, it informally ended “Occupy Wall Street,” but the pipes that scoured the shiny black pavement, in an effort to eliminate dirt, have not canceled the movement.
It just moved it to the digital realm, with protesters resurfacing in a new tech culture built on ‘borrowing’ and sharing, the political careers of Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez among others, and the well formulated, if not totally coherent, call to “Democratize Wall Street”.
Just log on to Reddit to see the new Zuccotti, where individual investors educate each other on the structure of the market and use the actions of the memes to send Wall Street a message that they think the system is still rigged, but that they’re going to do something about it this time.
Undoubtedly at the center of this Occupy 2.0, are strongly exposed stocks like GameStop GME,
AMC Entertainment AMC,
Clover Health CLOV,
and a litany of others that online communities have turned to, as a new method of protest took shape in 2021, with the COVID pandemic still looming in the background.
Crowds of investors on social media platforms like Reddit and Discord are educating each other on how they might fight hedge funds, which have been accused of bypassing companies to death, leaving as carrion for private equity firms.
Much like the Zuccotti protesters 10 years ago, who carried signs with caricatures of Wall Street CEOs they held in low esteem, today’s Reddit retail traders use memes and effigies of unloved corporate executives as war banners in a new battle against the 1%.
Some faces have changed. Instead of Goldman Sachs chief Lloyd Blankfein, Citadel’s Ken Griffin is the main recipient of the vitriolic on social media, doing Twitter searches for ‘Kenny G’ a bizarre mix of alto saxophone and allegations of bare shorting .
And like the “People’s Library” that sprouted in Zuccotti, a free deposit of thousands of books in a tent donated by punk rock priestess Patti Smith and designed to help protesters learn about the things they were complaining about, Reddit panels have become the hotbed of ‘DD’: due diligence or in-depth articles on financial topics and stock market advice meant to help retail traders keep each other on the forefront of their campaign to overthrow the big bosses of the hedge funds.
These publications, whose quality and consistency do not differ too much from the reports of Wall Street analysts [but are often written with more prurient panache], threw short cuts on everything from Wendy’s WEN,
stock in the uranium market.
And like the protesters who have constantly tried to push their borders beyond Zuccotti and into bank offices or across the Brooklyn Bridge, individual investors have already stepped into the options market. According to Robinhood’s first quarterly report as a publicly traded company, options traded on the 0% commission application had nearly tripled in the first half of 2021 compared to all of 2020.
So while the number of individual investors fighting hedge funds appears to have declined since January, those who remain are becoming more active, more educated, and gaining more attention from politicians and regulators, which even brings the chairman of the SEC Gary Gensler said this week that they have every right to use their own money to try to “break” hedge funds.
There is, however, a difference between the Occupy protesters of 2011 and the Reddit raiders of 2021: The NYPD could move to clean up Zuccotti Park in a day, but individual investors determined to point out the structural flaws in the stock market are already at inside. the stock market, and they don’t seem to be going anytime soon.

Open pre-order for iPhone Xr in Russia
Apple officially opens pre-orders for a budget iPhone Xr. The novelty will be available in the near future.
When does a pre-order open and where
Exactly at 10:01 AM, the official launch of pre-orders for the iPhone Xr will open in Russia and around the world.
Apple does not deny that a deficit is expected at the start, so it’s best to pre-order today and as soon as possible. After 15-20 minutes they can sell for a month or two in advance.
Official iPhone Xr prices in Russia
Here are the current prices in Russia:
iPhone Xr 64 GB – 64 990 руб.
iPhone Xr 128 GB – 68 990 руб.
iPhone Xr 256 GB – 77 990 руб.
Pre-order on iPhone Xr has opened in Russia this morning . The basic model of the smartphone costs 64,990 rubles and, it seems, this pricing policy has fallen to the people of the Russian Federation.
In just a few hours, the 64GB iPhone Xr models are over.
If the versions of the smartphone with 128 and 256 GB of memory Apple promises to deliver in the period from 26 to 29 October, then the 64-gigabyte version will have to wait at least one or two weeks.
The iPhone Xr is a really profitable option to buy an “almost flagship” Apple smartphone. The model has the same A12 Bionic processor, identical to the main and selfie cameras (but not the tele-sensor), a similar design as the iPhone Xs and Xs Max, but at the same time it costs 23 thousand rubles. cheaper than the basic iPhone Xs model.

[dropcap style=”font-size:100px; color:#992211;”]B[/dropcap]ugzy Malone is an MC I have a lot of time for.
A self-made man with sights aimed firmly towards the stratosphere, using music to keep his nose clean. It’s a story we hear a lot on Hip-Hop and Grime records, but in practice relatively little in an embarrassingly poseur-oriented industry.
Bugzy Malone‘s breakthrough release was 2015’s ‘Walk With Me’, although he really defined his sound with 2016’s ‘Facing Time’. The soulful, weighty production paired with powerful storytelling saw tracks like ‘Beauty & The Beast’ resonating with international audiences – a feat given the Grime movement is a definitively British one. The songs didn’t make any concessions, either; Bugzy’s music is Manchester through and through, a breath of Northern fresh air into a scene in danger of stagnating or going the same way as “above-ground” American hip-hop. That is, amalgamated into the crass arsenal of manufactured Pop.
I digress. After five mixtapes, three EPs and countless singles and features then, 2018 is the year we finally get the much-lauded debut album. ‘B. Inspired’ had been teased on Twitter for months before finally landing with a bang. “So, does it stand up?” I hear you cry. Kind of. Much more than that verse on Dizzee Rascal‘s ‘Ghost’, at least.
There’s nothing inherently bad or wrong about the record as a whole. The lyrics are, to an extent, punchy as ever, and a selection of well-managed and -placed features (most notably Rag’n’Bone Man‘s appearance on ‘Run’) keeps a play-through feeling diverse and fresh. The production doesn’t feel as dark as I’d like, however, and the singles feel glaringly geared towards chart placement, rather than a representation of the release as a whole to gel it together. You could pick them out blind on the first listen.
I’m not sure if I’m being picky simply because I clicked so much with the ‘Facing Time’ EP and the bar was set especially high, but to stick a foot down I’d say ‘B. Inspired’ simply doesn’t quite capture that level of emotive clarity. Tracks like ‘Die By The Gun’ are a bit of salvation, but realistically there’s only so many times you can tell the same stories before they start losing impact.
It’s not uninspired, and I’m expecting a lot of heads to disagree with my feelings on the instrumental treatments coming across as slightly jaded, but there’s definitely been a big step taken in the direction of commercial accessibility. That doesn’t quite inspire me.

Chelsea Fail With Fresh Alex Sandro Bid
Juventus have knocked back yet another bid from Chelsea for left wing-back Alex Sandro. The Brazilian has interested The Blues all summer, as they look for someone to provide competition to Marcos Alonso.
Chelsea need to flesh out their squad, with Champions League football back on the agenda at Stamford Bridge this season and Conte’s men have made several approaches for Alex Sandro this summer.
However, having lost Dani Alves and Leonardo Bonucci this summer, the Old Lady is not inclined to sell. Juve boss Max Allegri emphatically ruled out a transfer earlier this month, but that does not seem to have stopped Chelsea from submitting a bid.
Juve club director Beppe Marotta has revealed that the club have knocked back another approach from the Premier League champions, thought to be in the region of £60m, “He said he wants to stay here. So we sent the offers right back where they came from.”

The five time track champion and his team came out firing on all cylinders for the Ice Breaker 30, or did he?
After a dominating heat race win "The Edge" was in the invert for the feature. Adam Wilt piloting the #15 would draw the pill giving him the pole position and Montieth would be starting 11th. Although there were tons of cautions Montieth was able to work his way past cars, putting on a spectacular show for the fans as usual. Standing in the infield you could hear the #21 car missing while coming full boar out of the turns. Even with issues Montieth barreled through the pack and completed the Ice Breaker 30 with an impressive 3rd place finish, given the track conditions. It was later determined that there was an electrical issue.
The Beer Hill Gang couldn't have asked for a better start to the 2016 race season!

Backstage at the Rosslyn Spectrum, three girls in identical black tops and white miniskirts checked their makeup and tried to calm their jitters as they debated whether their shimmying dance to the Black Eyed Peas' "Shut Up" could possibly win the traditional Mongolian dance competition.
"We're really nervous . . . " said Enkhjin Tuvshinzaya, 11.
" . . . because people usually dance the traditional dances, so they might win . . ." said Enkhuush Nyamsaikhan, 12.
" . . . but I think we're better than them," said Orgil Bayarsaikhan, 13.
The girls' routine was unusual for the Classical and Traditional Mongolian Dance or Songs competition, which followed the more customary performance of a young man playing a morin huur, a stringed instrument with a carved horse's head at the top.
The Mongolian Children's Festival, in its third year, highlights a little-known fact about life in Arlington County -- that the Mongolian community has become a force. After English and Spanish, the school system's most common language is Mongolian.
Mongolians in Arlington are a new phenomenon, most arriving in the past five years, and they seem to have an innate talent for fitting in. Within months, most Mongolian children prattle comfortably in English and embrace U.S. fashions, music and dance moves.
Traditionally a nomadic culture of horsemen, Mongolians lived for years as a Soviet satellite with no access to the west. In 1990, after a democratic revolution, Mongolia opened up, and its 2.5 million citizens were allowed outside the Iron Curtain.
Many went abroad in search of better-paying work and opportunities for their children, although it often meant doing jobs beneath their training (doctors might work as orderlies or sandwich vendors). An estimated 15,000 to 18,000 Mongolians live in the United States, with large enclaves in California, Colorado, Illinois and Arlington, which the Mongolian Embassy says is home to about 2,600.
Why Arlington? Community leaders say it was simply where the first arrivals happened to settle. More followed, coming on student and tourist visas, and they helped each other find jobs and apartments.
But the county's schools also played a role. Bolormaa Jugdersuren, a Mongolian who is an instructional assistant at Williamsburg Middle School in North Arlington, originally moved to Baltimore and enrolled her children in schools there -- until she compared their progress to that of Mongolian children in Arlington.
"I felt like my children were missing something," she said. After moving here, their English improved quickly. "That's why most Mongolian people come here," she said. "Because they choose first the education for their offspring."
Families often come in waves, with parents working in the United States before sending for their children.
Urtnasan Jigjidsuren, 38, sat recently with her husband and two sons at their home in the River Place apartment complex, where several hundred Mongolians live. On one wall of their living room hangs a portrait of Ghengis Khan, the 13-century ruler who is Mongolia's national hero; another wall has a window framing the Potomac River and Jefferson Memorial.
Jigjidsuren, who owned a salon in Mongolia, and her husband, Tsogtsaikhan Gendenpel, who owned a construction company, arrived 2 1/2 years ago, leaving behind their son Bat-Amgalan Tsogtsaikhan, who goes by Bati and is now 12. Arriving nine months ago, Bati met his new brother, born in the United States.
"I was, like, nervous," Bati recalled with a smile.
Jigjidsuren, who works at a Korean deli, said Mongolian neighbors help the family stay connected to home. When anyone in the complex gets a Mongolian CD, everyone listens to it. Students take piano lessons from a Mongolian teacher. "We are inside Mongolian culture in River Place," Jigjidsuren said.
Arlington Public Schools' 219 Mongolians make up 1.2 percent of students, but they are the majority in some ESOL-HILT (English for speakers of other languages and high-intensity language training) classes -- in some schools revitalizing a program that had dwindled as the flow of immigrants slowed.
"The HILT program all around the county is shrinking," said Jack Lane, a HILT teacher at Williamsburg, where more than half of HILT students are Mongolian. "But the Mongolians were growing. They basically kept the program alive here."
They tend to excel, their teachers say, often moving into mainstream classes a year or two earlier than average.
Theories abound as to why. "Mongolian people are nomadic people," explained Consul General Gonchig Seseer over tea in the Mongolian Embassy. "That's why they very quickly adapted to a different lifestyle."
"We have the yurt tent," added Second Secretary Sukhbaatar Altantsetseg. "Just take your yurt and move to another place and just live there."
Other theories include the complexity of their language (one Mongolian described it as containing every possible phonetic sound); parents' emphasis on education; the fact that many children have learned foreign languages in Mongolian schools -- traditionally Russian and Chinese, more recently German and English; and the country's literacy rate of 98 percent.
"They have to learn another language, but they have the cognitive foundation that allows them to move faster through the system, rather than some of our students who come from countries that had civil war or didn't attend school," said Laura McDermott, a Williamsburg teacher whose HILT B class is about two-thirds Mongolian.
New arrivals find themselves seated beside classmates who share their passion for Ghengis Khan and basketball (boys and girls alike are mad about basketball, and many play it every day). But they do not tend to isolate themselves from other ethnic groups. During a conversation about his homeland, one recently arrived Mongolian student threw in some Spanish he'd picked up from Central American classmates.
Arlington has no Mongolian-owned restaurants that serve native food, but there is a Mongolian weekly newspaper. The National Geographic Society recently had an exhibition on Mongolian culture, and the Smithsonian Institution plans a three-day festival on Mongolia in October.
Mongolians speak lovingly of Ghengis (they pronounce it CHIN-gis) as a gifted promoter of "international trade between countries," although outside Mongolia, his name has, fairly or unfairly, been synonymous with barbarism and ruthless conquest.
"Everybody has minus and plus in history," Altantsetseg said, noting that in 1999, Time magazine named Ghengis its Man of the Century for the 13th century.
Embassy officials have inquired with the District about erecting a statue of Ghengis; they would like it in Georgetown, where the embassy is. If it is built, it will be a far cry from the communist era, when people in Mongolia were forbidden to mention Ghengis. Underground books circulated, however, as did tales from grandparents, and these days Arlington students' presentations about their homeland place him prominently beside horsemanship and buuz (a meat dumpling).
Despite academic advantages, Mongolian students have had to adjust to cultural differences.
Toroo Manda Khanysh, 13, a seventh-grader at Williamsburg, said it was hard to get used to the more subdued physicality of Americans. "Some students, I'd just touch them, I'd get in trouble," he said.
Mongolian kids bolster one another's memories of home and instant message with friends in Mongolia. Still, some parents fear they are adapting to American culture too quickly.
The community leaders have been working with the school system to open a Saturday school, similar to Arlington's Escuela Bolivia, that would teach Mongolian culture and language.
Until then, there is the children's festival. At the event last month, spectators watched a video of men dressed in Speedo-like shorts and knee-high animal hide boots, performing traditional Mongolian wrestling as the American folk song "Hop Up, My Ladies" played.
When their turn came, the three girls dancing to the Black Eyed Peas gyrated to flashing green and orange lights, then ran offstage and hugged each other.
"I messed up, didn't I?" said Enkhuush, her face flushed.
"At first I was nervous, and I was kind of shaking," said Enkhjin, grinning. "But then I felt really good up there."
The judges thought they were good, too. The girls' "Shut Up" routine was 800 years and 6,000 miles from Ghengis's empire, but, after a decision was made to split the contestants into two categories, it won first place.

Why is there no trash picked up on Interstate 5 and Interstate 90? It’s disgusting. Why is there no trash pickup on the streets of Seattle?
I don’t understand it. There’s a lot of tax money being spent. It doesn’t really take a whole lot to get somebody to pick up some trash. It’s no longer the Emerald City.
I drove through Seattle recently, and I saw ivy growing up one of the columns holding up this huge exit ramp. These are basic services that cities and states should offer and should do — it’s their job.

Radeon RX 7000, we have a date: RDNA 3 video cards unveiled on November 3rd
After the post of the past few hours, AMD puts in place a clear maneuver to disrupt NVIDIA’s upcoming announcement of GeForce RTX 4000 video gaming cards. Radeon Division Senior Vice President and General Manager Scott Herkelman chose Twitter to inform enthusiasts that gaming video cards based on RDNA architecture 3probably part of the Radeon RX 7000 family, will be unveiled on November 3.
With RDNA 3 AMD plans to improve performance per watt over RDNA 2 architecture by over 50%. The new range of GPUs will be the first in the desktop industry to feature a multi-chip design, also known as MCM (Multi Chip Module), on a single package. In this way AMD aims to have greater flexibility in terms of design, production processes and therefore costs, with possible implications also on final prices.
For RDNA 3 AMD intends to take advantage of TSMC’s 5-nanometer process, implementing a next-generation Infinity Cache. As for the offer, at least three RDNA 3 GPUs are expected, with the top of the range Navi 31 that could offer 12,288 stream processors, more than double that of Navi 21the graphics chip on board the top of the range of the RX 6000 series.

Scott Hall better known as “Razor Ramon” was arrested Friday after cops were called to Scott’s Florida home over a domestic disturbance.
Scott’s GF Lisa Howell told police Scott had been drinking for days and the two had gotten into an argument. Lisa says she got into her car, and Scott grabbed her by the throat and tried to pull her out of the driver’s seat.
Police did see signs of injury on Lisa including red marks around her neck. Scott Hall was then placed under arrest for domestic battery.
Lisa has refused to press charges.


The US Navy awarded Boeing a US $1.5 billion production contract for the next 18 P-8A Poseidon aircraft. The contract includes eight aircraft for the US Navy, six aircraft for the Republic of Korea Navy and four aircraft for the Royal New Zealand Air Force.
The Republic of Korea Navy and Royal New Zealand Air Force acquired the aircraft through the Foreign Military Sales process and will receive the same P-8A Poseidon variant designed and produced for the US Navy. The Royal New Zealand Air Force is expected to begin receiving aircraft in 2022 and the Republic of Korea Navy is expected to begin receiving aircraft in 2023.
The P-8 is a proven long-range multi-mission maritime patrol aircraft capable of broad-area, maritime and littoral operations. A military derivative of the Boeing 737 Next-Generation airplane, the P-8 combines superior performance and reliability with an advanced mission system that ensures maximum interoperability in the battle space.
The P-8 is militarized with maritime weapons, a modern open mission system architecture and commercial-like support for affordability. The aircraft is modified to include a bomb bay and pylons for weapons. It has two weapons stations on each wing and can carry 129 sonobuoys.

Re: No signal?
It started after i removed the battery and put it back in. Since the hard drive is the only moving part, is it safe to say the drive is going bad?
Is it safe to say a when a processor , mother board, or ram go bad they never work again. But a drive can freeze up making a computer work then unfreeze itself some how , which gives me this trouble of starting only sometimes
The Tec never ends

Launching a Local Blockchain
To build a docker image hosting a local test blockchain docker image with Arbitrum smart contracts already deployed, run:
To start the local blockchain inside the Arbitrum monorepo, run:
Note that stopping and restarting the client will lose all blockchain state.
Launching the chain
To set up a local rollup chain using the Arbitrum geth docker image with 1 or more validators, run the following from the root arbitrum repo.
yarn demo:initialize [--validatorcount N=1]
demo:initialize command will perform two main tasks 1) Launch an Arbitrum Rollup chain on the local testnet 2) Create a
validator-states folder. This folder contains pre-seeded wallets for the created validators which are prepared for launch. It serves as a lightweight simulation of an enviroment where the validators are running on multiple machines.
Deploying your validators
To launch a set of docker images containing your validators, run:
Unlike the blockchain docker image, the validators can be stopped and restarted without losing any state.

10 questions with Chris Wire, owner of Real Art & Proto BuildBar.
By Jennifer Patterson Lorenzetti
Chris Wire is a busy man. It would be enough to embrace his role as owner of creative agency Real Art, with locations in Dayton, Chicago and New York. But now he’s started Proto BuildBar, a combination 3D printing lab, electronic maker space and bar/café. We talked with him about Proto, Real Art and the resurgence of the maker.
Why is this the right time for the success of Real Art and the birth of Proto BuildBar?
We’re seeing the resurgence of the maker market, in which people are generating new ideas and constructing them themselves. The Dayton area really has very much a maker vibe, in which people are willing to build and construct their own visions. We take advantage of that when we find new employees for Real Art and for Proto.
What do you look for when you hire someone?
When we hire someone at Real Art, we always ask, “What else can you do?” Can you weld, knit or paint? One of my favorite things to ask in an interview is, “What do you do in your spare time?” We always need these talents to get jobs done, and that spilled over into Proto.
The combination of 3D printing and a bar/café space is unique. How did that come together?
Proto takes advantage of the perfect storm of 3D printing and the maker market. Right now, people know about 3D printers, but they don’t have their own yet. It’s like the time before people had their own color printers; they’d go to places like Kinko’s to get their printing done. We’d like to see them come to Proto in the same way.
Why would someone go to Proto rather than a dedicated 3D printing or build space?
There are a lot of maker spaces in the area, but they can be a little bit cliquey and intimidating. At Proto, our staff is in tune with asking what people are into and then helping them get started. Our goal is to get people over the threshold to being a creator.
What has the reaction to Proto been?
Proto has met with a fantastic reception. On Valentine’s Day, we even had one couple get engaged in our space. I sort of wanted to see them 3D print an engagement ring.
So what’s your secret to success?
The secret to our continual innovation, both at Proto and Real Art, is we’re always looking at what’s new. It’s part of our DNA as designers; it’s hard-wired into who we are. We’re always asking if we’re good enough.
Real Art has always been known for innovation. How do you keep the ideas flowing?
We’re so good at innovation because we get bored quickly. We’re always ready to move on to the next thing.
How do you keep your employees enthused about innovating?
We’ve never had a siloed work environment. Maybe that’s a function of our size; maybe it’s a Midwestern vibe of doing it yourself. But no one is penalized here for trying something new, even if it doesn’t totally work.
What’s next for you?
I hope that Proto can expand to other cities across the U.S.
Anything else you’d like us to know?
The crew here is everything; they’re the reason for our success. I’m just a component of the whole.

Xenon headlights are high intensity discharge (HID) lighting systems. These HIDs incorporate a xenon headlight bulb that uses xenon gas to create light. More or less gas inside the bulb will dictate the color temperature of the bulb and could range in a wide variety of colors, depending on the technology of the manufacturer. Many new model cars have HID lighting systems as standard equipment and are a better alternative to the once-standard halogen lamps. While it is true that xenon bulbs have a longer service life than conventional halogen lamps, variances in the quality of each part or improper installation could cause a xenon bulb to fail.
Buying a Xenon Bulb
Before you purhase a bulb for a xenon headlight, check your vehicle warranty for appropriate coverage of the damaged or faulty part. Conversion kits also offer a limited warranty on HID products and should be consulted if the xenon bulb fails within the warranty period.
Determine the color temperature of the old bulb when buying new xenon bulbs. This would also be an appropriate time to upgrade to a different color bulb, because it is better to replace two bulbs at the same time. Have the entire system checked for proper wiring and polarity procedures before installing new bulbs, because faulty sockets, wiring and ballasts could contribute to shorter bulb life. Remember to order the same kind of bulb as your existing xenon bulb.
When deciding to upgrade to a different colored bulb in your purchase, take into account the various laws in your state and check whether the color of the bulb conforms to safety rules and regulations. Driving environment should also be considered, as a yellowish beam yields better results in foggy and rainy conditions. White and bluish white bulbs are best reserved for off road conditions but are appropriate to use in normal driving as well. Be aware that white beams (5,000 to 6,000K color temperature) present visibility problems on asphalt roads, especially in the rain.
There are a variety of colors you can choose from. The lights are given Kelvin ratings.
- 3000K: A yellow tint which is generally used as fog lights
- 4300K: The OEM color you find on most vehicles that have factory made HID
- 6000K: This is similar to the OEM color, but it has a far whiter tint
- 8000K: A little bit of a blue tint
- 10000K: A lot like the 8000K, but is just a little bit darker blue
- 12000K: A deep blue tint
- 30000K: An exotic purple tint
Changing a Xenon Bulb
Always handle bulbs with care. Never touch the glass part of the bulb with your bare hands, because oil from fingerprints might cause the glass to explode when heated or might cause unsightly condensation in your headlights. Clean the glass surface of the bulb with alcohol in the event of an oil stain.
Only remove the protective casing of the bulb when it is ready to be installed. The protective casing is there for a purpose, as severe vibration or shock might be harmful or destructive to the performance of the xenon bulb. It also prevents contamination of the glass that may also be detrimental to performance.
Changing a xenon bulb is a simple procedure but when in doubt, consult with a knowledgeable friend or expert mechanic for advice on proper installation. Do not forget to aim the beam after changing the xenon bulb, because mild differences may have occurred in the process of installation. A few degrees may mean the difference between proper distribution of light and blinding other drivers on the road. As an exercise of courtesy among other road users, have your headlights angled and adjusted to proper specifications as indicated in the preventive maintenance schedule of your vehicle.

LOS ANGELES — With his dungeon phone pulpy to his ear, Rob Pelinka wandered by a bureau apartment during a Lakers’ El Segundo headquarters. Through vast brook windows, he could see a group he was perplexing to urge as it finished a morning shootaround, and they could demeanour adult and see him.
Pelinka had already traded Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. to Cleveland on Thursday morning. As Julius Randle finished morning work, he wondered if he could be next.
“I didn’t know,” Randle told a Southern California News Group hours later, after scoring 17 points in a blowout win over Oklahoma City. “The ups and downs of a deteriorate and not meaningful what’s going to happen, it could have happened to anyone. So we was prepared for whatever.”
The Lakers, however, chose to reason on to Randle, a final actor on their register who was coached by Byron Scott and played alongside Kobe Bryant.
Throughout a tumble and heading adult to a trade deadline, Randle was a Lakers actor many mostly discussed in trade rumors. But as a deadline neared, his diversion took off, and it became harder to prognosticate a Lakers interruption with a resurgent 6-foot-9 energy forward.
By trade Nance and Clarkson for a failing contracts of Isaiah Thomas and Channing Frye and a Cavaliers’ first-round pick, a classification sent a transparent summary that they wish to pointer dual maximum-contract giveaway agents over a march of a subsequent dual offseasons.
The trade also gave a Lakers a coherence to compare any understanding for Randle this summer, depending on their ability to captivate All-Stars, potentially giving Randle a place in a franchise’s long-term plans.
That was tough to prognosticate behind in October.
The authorization chose not to offer Randle a agreement prolongation in October, creation him a limited giveaway representative in July. He started a deteriorate on a dais after losing his starting pursuit to Nance.
When Nance pennyless a bone in his palm in a eighth diversion of a season, it was rookie Kyle Kuzma who transposed him in a starting lineup.
The outcome was “me and him butting heads over it,” Coach Luke Walton said.
Something happened after those early-season setbacks.
“I couldn’t unequivocally concentration on either we was going to be here long-term or not,” Randle said. “The prolongation didn’t happen, so that preference of what was going to happen. The deteriorate was unequivocally adult to me to go out and play and figure out a rest in a summer.”
Randle finally rejoined a starting lineup after Brook Lopez sprained his ankle in December, and his capability has skyrocketed.
His per 36-minute averages of 21.3 points and 11 rebounds per diversion would make him one of a many prolific large group in a joining and, with a 55.3 margin idea percentage, one of a many reliable.
As a starter, however, he isn’t that distant off from those numbers in a small 24 mins per outing. Since replacing Nance in a lineup, he has averaged 16.8 points and 9 rebounds over 24 mins per game, with 9 of his 13 double-doubles entrance given he left a bench.
“I adore a approach Julius is personification right now,” pronounced Magic Johnson, a Lakers’ boss of basketball operations. “This is a best I’ve ever seen him play. We wish to see him continue to do that.”
Even Walton, who has regularly challenged Randle to be a improved defender and a smarter scorer, seems to have come around on a fourth-year forward.
Since a Lakers snapped a nine-game losing strain with a win over Atlanta on Jan. 7, Randle has played 27 mins per diversion and turn one of a Lakers’ many arguable players down a widen of tighten games.
“Julius, with all that speak going on, he has been one of a many solid players,” Walton said. “He has finished all we have asked of him, he is removing so most improved during reading when to make a pass and when a double group is entrance and when to go measure a ball. All that is only small signs of a actor flourishing adult and starting to unequivocally know a NBA game, and let a NBA diversion kind of delayed down so he can do what he does well.”
There’s still a decent possibility another group will advantage from Randle’s swell this season, even with a trade deadline behind him.
To move in dual stars this summer, a Lakers would have to forgo Randle’s rights to transparent his $12.4 million top hold, that would make him an unlimited giveaway agent.
“Regardless of what they’re doing, they’re going to do what’s best for them,” Randle pronounced of a Lakers, who drafted him seventh altogether in 2014. “You’ve only got to go out and be a professional, do your job.”
Since nearing as a teen in 2014, Randle has turn a father and a father. He has left from starter to haven to, once again, starter. He has preoccupied and undone his dual conduct coaches, both of whom took divided his starting pursuit as a process of motivation.
“He has grown adult a lot in a time that we have famous him,” Walton said.
Randle didn’t disagree.
“Basketball has a humorous approach of building character,” he said. “Not only for basketball, though only life and a lot of moments via a deteriorate that we won’t forget that have unequivocally built me adult as a chairman and as a player. Stuff that I’ll be means to learn my son, as well.”
His 4 years with a Lakers, he said, have taught him how to quarrel by adversity and that no matter how tough he works for things, they won’t always work out like he expects.
The outcome has been that Randle is personification a best basketball of his career and is valued some-more than ever by a authorization that drafted him. To get here, he had to continue those early challenges. That was a trade value making.

EuroMed-2030: Long term challenges for the Mediterranean area
"This paper is built around ‘trends, tensions and transitions’ in the Euro-Mediterranean space. In ‘trends’ we examine the way in which critical issues in the region are evolving and how they might develop over the next twenty years. ‘Tensions’ considers how these trends will interact to generate stresses at different socio-political levels. ‘Transitions’ explores some options for intervention to correct malign tensions and benefit from benign ones; the particular choice of the ‘transitions’ is based on the four themes of cooperation described above: managing conflict; win-win projects; deeper economic integration and eventually moving towards a Euro-Mediterranean Community".
ORBIS is powered by ESPAS, the European Strategy and Policy Analysis System, a unique inter-institutional project aimed at strengthening the EU's efforts in the crucial area of forward planning. ESPAS brings together the European Commission, the European Parliament, the Secretariat General of the Council of the European Union and the European External Action Service to strengthen the Union's collective administrative capacity to identify and analyse the key trends and challenges, and the resulting policy choices, which are likely to confront Europe and the wider world in the decades ahead.
