Who am I?
Well, I know who I am.
I am lower back hair.
But who am I?
Why do I exist? Why am I on this man's body?
All other areas of hair make sense. All other areas know why they exist. The rule is: hair is like a map to important parts of this man's body. If there is an area of hair, it's because there is something important underneath. But I do not fit this rule.
"I exist because the head is where the brain is," head hair told me. "The brain is where thoughts come from, this man could not live without his brain." he added.
Head hair has been on this man's body the longest. He saw all other body hair grow. He told me he has changed a lot over time.
"I started out blonde — almost white — but as this man grew, I have gotten darker," he reflected. "During my time I have been left to grow long, party or completely shaved off, had my color changed, and even made into spikes using a clear, sticky substance. But that didn't last long."
Head hair gets washed and groomed regularly. This man likes head hair.
"The mouth is where words come from!" face hair declared. "That is why I exist."
Face hair is a bit of a dick. We appeared on this man's body at about the same time, but he thinks he is so much better than me because face hair can grow into a beard, and beards are a revered type body hair. But face hair doesn't grow so well on this man. In fact, most of face hair actually grows on this man's neck. I felt like pointing this out, but I thought it would be too mean. Besides, face hair gets completely shaved off pretty regularly.
I was scared to speak to the under arm hair twins. They're reclusive, and to be honest, they smell weird. But it turned out that's kind of exactly why they exist.
"We are here to remind this man when to take a shower," they said… in unison. It was kind of creepy.
I spoke to other areas of hair and they all know why they exist. On legs and arms because this man uses his arms and legs to move and hold things. On this man's chest because beneath are his heart and lungs.
Even nipple hair makes more sense than I do.
"We are here to highlight how silly these are," left nipple hair said. "Men do not need nipples," right nipple hair added. "These are useless. So, we're here to cordon off this whole area."
I approached butt hair, but he was an even bigger dick than face hair. He was really stand-offish and didn't want to tell me what is so important about his area. It doesn't matter though because I've pretty much figured it out on my own. I see what happens down there everyday. I have to live above that asshole.
Genital hair is a little confusing to me. "Why do you exist?" I asked. "Because this is where the fun happens!" he responded. I don't know what that means.
Belly button hair (who prefers to go by snail trail) was no help when I asked the same question. "Because I lead to where the fun happens!" he shouted.
All I know is that this man sometimes grooms genital hair, and the only other one of us he treats that way is head hair, so he must like it…he certainly touches it a lot. Maybe that thing protruding from the middle of genital hair is another brain?
Every other area of hair knows why it exists except me.
It could be worse, I guess. Sometimes I see other men with upper back hair, which doesn't seem to make sense either. Maybe they're just as confused as me? And the men who have no hair on their head, as though their head hair has died. I try not to even think how confusing that must be.
Head hair tried to comfort me, saying this could all just be a weird phase. "Like when this man used to make me into spikes."
But I'm not so sure.
"Have you thought about traveling?" he said. "That might help you find yourself… Go to Europe, or Asia, or Burning Man. Or, you know, just go spend more time with genital hair. I hear that's where the fun happens."

WIP Wednesday
I was meant to be posting yesterday, but unfortunately our Internet cut out until today. So, here's a post for today instead. I've realised I've not done a WIP Wednesday post for a while, which doesn't mean that I haven't been busy, I definitely have.
I'm currently knitting this DROPS cardigan for a good friend's niece. I'm knitting the S size, but it still feels like it's taking forever. I can't wait to get back to some baby knitting after this.
4 Responses to "WIP Wednesday"
Oooohh, that's a very lovely cardigan pattern!
I can't wait to see this when it's finished, I really love the color and the pattern.
can't wait to see when it's finished!!

Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease that disrupts normal function of the epithelial cells in the body. Epithelial cells line the passageways of many of our vital organs, including the lungs, liver, kidneys, reproductive system and the skin. Those who have cystic fibrosis have a defective gene that impairs epithelial cell function. This can lead to a buildup

6.Semester - Professur Schwartz
Located in the center of the villages Guttet, Feschel and Wiler, together with the organziation of the program on ground floor around the courtyard, the building creates a new public space. The absence of the housing units is due to a high amount of abandoned apartments which should be used more efficiently and integrate the researchers to the village. With the negation of the perimeter the view of the existing buildings don't get interrupted, a sublime effect, the activation of the new artificial lake as well as perfect technical conditions are generated.
With the horizontal overhang of the corners a dialogue between the topography occurs, the view get framed and a dramatic entering to the court is generated. The court is the crossing of the hiking paths and serves for the communication inside the building. With the compact form and its massive expression the building reacts on the scale of the alpine landscape. The court as a counterpart creates an intimate space on human scale.
The Building grounds on a minimum amount of 3 points due to archeological excavations at this area.
With its 4 cantilevers the frame is reduced to a minimum as well. The overhang is possible trough prestressed lightweight concrete. The thickness of the lightweight concrete enabels the structure to be pure, isolated and optimized in terms of buckling due to the higher thickness. The court is not exactly in the center - on the one hand this move generates different spatial atmospheres in the interior, but as well it offers the possibility to open up the main view while reducing the weight on the outreaching part and raising it at the less outreaching part to get the structure in a global equilibrium.

In the week following the tragic shootings in Atlanta, and in the months beforehand amid a wave of violent attacks on those in the AAPI community, we've seen an outpouring of grief as well as a reckoning with the racism faced by Asian Americans. We've also seen calls to action, links to donate, resources to raise awareness, and shows of support shared on social media and passed around our own circles. We're gathering them here for easy access to our readers and the design community.
You'll find that most of this list is not designer-specific. We believe that right now is the time to be human beings first and designers second—to donate, to show solidarity, and to educate ourselves on building an anti-racist future. We have, however, included certain fundraisers, resources, talks, and work from AAPI designers, and we encourage you to use these to diversify your design networks, references, and knowledge, and to show your support and solidarity with AAPI in the design community during this time. We'd also love for you to add to this list—we want it to reflect the evolving nature of this moment, so please feel free to contribute to this open Google doc and we'll update the post periodically.
Where to Donate
A list of organizations whose work centers around justice and support for the AAPI community. Ed note: We'd like to list local organizations as well as national ones, as we know that smaller, community-led organizations are doing necessary work closest to the ground and are often most in need of funds. Right now we mostly have organizations in Atlanta and New York City (where AIGA national is based)—if there are organizations in your area doing this work well, please add!
Since 1991, the AAJC has fought to advance civil and human rights for Asian Americans and to build and promote a fair and equitable society for all. Their Atlanta affiliate is the first and only nonprofit legal advocacy organization dedicated to protecting the civil rights of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) in Georgia and the Southeast. The link above is to the organization; here is a link to their donation page for the victims of the shooting in Atlanta and their families.
The Asian Pacific Planning and Policy Council (A3PCON), Chinese for Affirmative Action (CAA), and the Asian American Studies Department of San Francisco State University launched the Stop AAPI Hate reporting center on March 19, 2020. The center tracks and responds to incidents of hate, violence, harassment, discrimination, shunning, and child bullying against Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders in the United States. Your donations would go to helping them track and respond to the recent surge in racism and xenophobia.
Red Canary Song is a grassroots Chinese massage parlor worker coalition. The collective of Asian and migrant workers across the U.S. has been organizing and raising awareness in response to the shooting at three massage parlors in Atlanta.
Grassroots Asians Rising is a national network of grassroots organizations rooted in Asian communities across the U.S. Their work centers around supporting refugees, low-wage workers, youth, undocumented immigrants, queer and trans people, and low-income tenants.
NAPAWF is an organization focused on building power with AAPI women and girls. Their work spans policy and structural change; organizing and civic engagement; and legal advocacy and judicial strategy.
- Welcome to Chinatown (NYC)
Welcome to Chinatown is a grassroots initiative to support Chinatown businesses and amplify community voices. They do so through cash infusions, food donation programs, merchandise lines for local businesses, census reporting, and more. The organization was launched in March 2020 in response to the pandemic and the growing xenophobia and racism impacting Chinatown shops and restaurants.
- Send Chinatown Love (NYC)
Send Chinatown Love was also launched in March 2020 in response to the pandemic and the growing xenophobia and racism impacting Chinatown restaurants. They work with restaurants that are mostly cash-only, lack an online web presence and have been affected by pandemic restrictions by creating a platform for them and building easy-to-adopt solutions to create revenue streams.
- Think! Chinatown (NYC)
Think! Chinatown is a non-profit in NYC's Chinatown with a mission to foster inter-generational community through neighborhood engagement, storytelling and the arts.
CAAAV Organizing Asian Communities works to build grassroots community power across diverse poor and working class Asian immigrant and refugee communities in New York City.
- Heart of Dinner (NYC)
Heart of Dinner combats food insecurity and isolation within NYC's elderly Asian American community by delivering care packages of hot lunches and fresh produce every week, along with a handwritten and illustrated letters in Chinese or Korean.
Send funds directly to the victims of the Atlanta shooting and their families
Fundraisers you can participate in:

Issue#: 522/2019
Spot values at a glance:
Daily Observations:
Stocks in Asia were mixed Tuesday as investors look to a deluge of earnings for reasons to carry an equity rally further. Oil cemented a rally after the White House said it will scrap waivers that allow the purchase of some Iranian crude. The dollar was steady.. Traders will look to a week full of corporate earnings releases, in particular from the technology sector. Investors will also turn their focus to the US economy, with first quarter gross domestic product data due on Friday.
US Expected to Eliminate Oil Waivers:
Bloomberg news reported earlier today that the Trump administration won't renew the waivers that let countries buy Iranian crude oil without facing US sanctions, according to 4 people familiar with the matter, a move that could roil energy markets and risks upsetting major importers such as India and China. Secretary of State Michael Pompeo will announce the decision on Monday morning, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing a plan that hasn't been formally unveiled. The current set of waivers, issued to China, India, Japan, South Korea, Italy, Greece, Turkey and Taiwan, expire on May 2.
The administration also will announce commitments from other suppliers, including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, that will offset the loss of Iranian crude on the market, according to 2 of the people. The decision not to renew the waivers is a victory for National Security Advisor John Bolton and his allies who had argued that US promises to get tough on Iran were meaningless with waivers still in place. Pompeo and his team had been more cautious, though they also had argued that the market was well-enough supplied to ramp up the pressure on Iran.
Bolton and officials in the Energy Department argue that it's time for the administration to make good on its desire to push Iran's oil exports to zero. Pompeo's team, led by Iran special representative Brian Hook, cautioned that a sudden removal of Iranian crude from the market, about 1.1 million barrels a day, could fuel volatility and lead to a price spike.
US 10-year Treasury Yield Fails to Break 2.6% Resistance:
The benchmark US Treasury 10-year yield touched 2.61% last week, the highest since the Fed surprised traders in March by shifting to a more dovish stance. It settled at 2.56%, up from 2.34% on March 28, the lowest since December 2017. Traders are now pricing in a bit more than half of a quarter-point rate reduction this year, whereas a few weeks ago they were ready for more than a full cut.
While the angst over a Chinese slowdown that drove last month's bond rally has eased, questions linger about the global outlook as malaise in Europe persists. This week brings an update on the world's biggest economy, with a read on first-quarter US growth that's expected to be less dire than originally predicted, though far short of a blockbuster.
While first-quarter gross domestic product is forecast to slow to a 2% annual pace, from 2.2% the prior period, it's hardly flashing a recession signal. At the end of March, economists had predicted output last quarter would stall to 1.5%. Reports on actual and expected inflation, both at the heart of Federal Reserve policy making now, are also on traders' radar.
Warren Calls for Impeachment of Trump:
Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren on Friday called for President Donald Trump's impeachment, saying the country can't afford to ignore the obstruction uncovered by Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.
"The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty," the Massachusetts senator wrote in a series of tweets. "That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the president of the United States."
Mueller's report released Thursday identified at least 10 instances of potential obstruction of justice by the president, including discouraging others from cooperating with the Russia probe and dangling possible pardons.
Warren's impeachment calls comes as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and her top lieutenants have been trying to tamp down calls from progressive lawmakers in that chamber to begin impeachment proceedings. Up until now, Mueller's investigation has caused barely a ripple on the presidential campaign trail. Voters rarely mention it in questions to the candidates, and the contenders themselves have focused more on pocketbook issues like wages and health insurance.
Since Mueller's report was released, several of the Democratic presidential contenders have suggested that impeachment should be under discussion, and some have urged further investigation. Warren's comments appear to be the most direct call for the House to act.
Chinese Companies Increase Fund-Raising Efforts:
According to Bloomberg news earlier today, China's cash-strapped companies are going to new lengths to raise money from the booming stock market, even if it comes at a cost to existing shareholders. Nine firms have said they plan to raise a combined 40.5 billion yuan through rights issues since January, almost twice the amount announced all of last year, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Chinese companies face restrictions on how much, how often and at what price they can sell new shares through private placements, the hitherto most popular method to raise money via the equity market. That's sent them on a hunt for alternative funding tools, making the most of this year's surging risk appetite. A rights issue, while subject to some of the same regulatory hurdles, allows for more freedom on pricing. While companies may also opt to raise funds through a public placement, it's a tool that's still rarely used because issuers aren't permitted to offer big discounts.
The surge in rights issues has underscored the dilemma facing the nation's leaders as they seek to improve financing conditions for the private sector without jeopardizing the sustained rally in the stock market. The curbs on private placement were put in place in 2017, when new listings were picking up pace, alarming regulators that they may drag down the stock market by adding supply.
Some analysts warn the issuance could be a temporary drag on the equity market. Existing investors with no plans to participate in the offering could prefer to sell their holdings rather than have their stake diluted.
China Signals Less Stimulus:
The CSI 300 Index of equities traded in Shanghai and Shenzhen sank 2.3% on Monday, its biggest loss in a month, after Beijing officials signalled they're less comfortable about adding stimulus. Property developers led the plunge, along with old economy shares such as banks and industrial companies. The gauge slid another 0.2% at the open on Tuesday.
After the CSI 300 surged almost 40% this year, investors have grown increasingly sensitive to whether the authorities will maintain the massive scale of stimulus seen in the first quarter. A statement late Friday from a meeting of the Politburo was interpreted by traders as meaning the economy is on a stable enough footing that extended support isn't needed. Instead there was a focus on deleveraging and avoiding speculation in the housing market.
China's stock market has historically been driven by liquidity and momentum traders and any sense that these may dry up could act as a serious overhang. Equities slumped earlier this month amid concern the authorities would act to slow the increase in leverage in the market. The CSI 300 sank 4% on March 8 after investors took a rare sell rating from the nation's largest brokerage as a sign that the government was unhappy about the speed of the rally.
The central bank last week gave a signal that supply of cash would be less liberal, when it rolled over only half of the funds coming due through one of its longer-term policy tools, instead offering more 7-day money.
China Debt Woes Grow:
The debt pain engulfing some of China's big conglomerates has intensified in recent days with more bond defaults, asset freezes and payment uncertainties.
China Minsheng Investment Group Corp. said last week cross defaults had been triggered on dollar bonds worth $800 million. Lenders to HNA Group Co.'s CWT International Ltd. seized control of assets in Singapore, China and the US after the unit failed to repay a loan, according to a filing last night. Citic Guoan Group Co., backed by a state-owned company, isn't certain whether it can pay a bond coupon due on April 27.
The increased repayment stress sweeping some of China's biggest corporations is a sign that the liquidity crunch, induced by a 2-year long deleveraging campaign, is far from over despite an improving economy. Bonds from at least 44 Chinese companies totaling $43.7 billion faced repayment pressure as of last week, a 25% jump from the tally at the end of March, according to company and ratings firm statements compiled by Bloomberg.
China's Belt & Road Initiative Reboot:
Chinese President Xi Jinping's grand Belt and Road Initiative is getting a makeover to tone down government rhetoric and tighten oversight, after allegations of corruption and a lack of sustainability dogged some of its highest-profile projects.
Beijing is taking a range of steps to exert more control over the program, officials and participants said, including a more muted publicity drive, clearer rules for state-owned-enterprises, restricting use of the BRI brand, and building overseas auditing and anti-corruption mechanisms. It's also stepping up efforts to get developed nations to join in to spread the risk of building projects in poorer nations and to counter allegations that BRI is just an attempt to build China's political influence.
As global leaders gather in Beijing this week for Xi's second Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation, China is having to defend its image in the light of the trade war with the US and growing concern about Beijing's political and economic influence in Asia and Europe. Authorities have purged terms in state media and official statements that have driven anxiety of China as a menacing power, from its "Made in China 2025" campaign to the decade-old "Thousand Talents" program to encourage talented Chinese workers living overseas to come back home.
The evolution of BRI also reflects a need to ensure more robust standards expected by developed nations as China works to extend the initiative into Europe. Italy's announcement this year that it will participate in BRI, the first Group of 7 country to sign up, was a big win for China. But negotiations with other major EU nations face major hurdles over regulations and standards, said a person familiar with the discussions. Stumbling blocks include the request that financing meet the standards of the IMF and EU, the person said, without providing more detail.
Third-party market cooperation, signing up a developed nation to help build infrastructure in one of the Belt and Road countries, is the focus of the next phase of BRI, according to a government official involved in China's overseas development. This is a way to depoliticize the BRI and China will sign documents with Britain, Switzerland and Austria on this kind of cooperation during the forum, following similar agreements with France, Spain, and Australia, said the person. That official, like other government bureaucrats, did not want to be named because they are not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
FX Updates:
Spot: 1.3555
USDSGD slipped lower from its 1-month high earlier today, sliding by as much as 0.1% to 1.3556 and adding onto last week's gains following MAS's decision to keep its currency policy settings on hold as expected earlier this month. According to a client note from Morgan Stanley, a relatively dovish MAS statement should prevent SGD from appreciating by what's implied from the SGD NEER current slope of 1%. Further SGD weakness could drive the pair higher to the 1.3614 resistance level, which has been the upper bound of its range over the past 3 months.
Spot: 0.7128
AUDUSD fell earlier today, extending its decline further from its 200-day moving average. The RBA's minutes from its April meeting were dovish and pessimistic, as officials indicated a rise in rates in the near term was low. A slip back to below 0.7100 is probable.
Spot: 1.3359
USDCAD got rejected at the 1.3400 handle Monday, as the Canadian dollar outperformed all of its G-10 peers after oil rose on reports the US won't renew waivers that let countries buy Iranian crude without penalty. However, the overall longer-term trend of USDCAD continues to remain to the upside, as it remains comfortably above its 200-day moving average of 1.3201.
Spot: 6.7130
USDCNH maintained its rebound from the key support level at 6.6737 , adding 0.2% to 6.7122 earlier today. The pair is expected to test its 50-day moving average, currently at 6.7192, in the coming week.
Spot: 111.78
USDJPY was retreated lower from its 112 resistance earlier today, dropping by as much as 0.3% on a stronger yen as Japan investors reduced risk before next week's Golden Week holidays.
Spot: 1.2987
GBPUSD remained little changed earlier today, holding just below 1.3000 early Easter Monday. The pair continues to maintain above its 200-day moving average of 1.2964, but only just. The Sunday Times has reported the chairman of the back-bench 1922 committee, Sir Graham Brady, is ready to tell the British Prime Minister Theresa May that she has to step down from her position. A break below the 200-day moving average is likely to drive the pair lower towards the 1.2700 region.

Malaga, its Overdue Debts & UEFA Financial Fair Play
The aim of this blog, is to clarify that Financial Fair Play (FFP) not only applies to ensure that clubs break-even, but that the FFP regulations cover a wide range of licensing conditions which are overseen initially by national FA's. Such requirements include ensuring clubs pay their debts in a timely manner.
All clubs wanting to play in UEFA competition must submit the required licensing documentation to the relevant national football association and for break-even purposes UEFA. UEFA, through its newly constituted Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) has the power to conduct club audits and ask further questions to ensure FFP compliance. If the Panel believes that the FFP rules have not been correctly followed, it has the disciplinary power to sanction clubs in breach. It should be noted that FFP is already in action and has allowed UEFA to sanction a number of clubs. One of those clubs is Malaga.
Towards the end of last year, UEFA announced that it was to temporarily withhold prize money for clubs who had qualified for UEFA competition but who had 'overdue payables' due. It is important to stress that such sanctions are not about breaching the break-even criteria. The withholding of prize monies by UEFA was for breaching the overdue payables provisions of the UEFA licensing regime (i.e. outstanding debts not paid at a particular time to other clubs, employees and social/tax authorities). The overdue payables provisions are part of the wider club licensing and FFP rules that are currently in force.
Then at the end of December 2012, UEFA set out the following, in relation to a number of clubs including Malaga, in it's press release: "The decisions of the CFCB adjudicatory chamber are as follows;
Málaga CF (ESP): The club is excluded from participating in the next UEFA club competition for which it would otherwise qualify in the next four seasons (i.e. 2013/14, 2014/15, 2015/16, 2016/17). In addition, Málaga CF will be excluded from a subsequent UEFA club competition for which it would otherwise qualify (in the next four seasons) if it does not prove, by 31 March 2013, that it has no overdue payables towards football clubs or towards employees and/or social/tax authorities, in accordance with the UEFA Club Licensing and Financial Fair-Play Regulations. Málaga CF has also been fined €300,000. The prize money withheld on 11 September 2012 (as a conservatory measure) will be released."
In response, a Malaga club statement said: "Málaga Club de Futbol wish to communicate their total disagreement with today's Uefa decision. The measures taken against the club are absolutely disproportionate and unjustified given the club's situation. We consider that the club is being punished unfairly and used as an example to others. Given the total and absolute indignation and consternation on the part of the club, Málaga CF wishes to state that it will work energetically and without rest to achieve justice, using all available necessary means. Málaga CF wish to add that they do not understand, and consider totally incomprehensible and abusive, that after having received this judgement they must now wait an unknown period of time to know the evidence upon which it was taken."
UEFA's CFCB has the power to sanction clubs for breaches of the FFP rules. Such sanctions include a reprimand, a fine, withholding of prize monies, points deductions, refusal to register players for UEFA competition, reducing a club's permitted squad size, disqualification from competitions in progress and/or exclusion from future competitions. In Malaga's case, UEFA has taken the ultimate sanction and banned them from future competition should they qualify for UEFA club competition in the next four seasons.
The next step is for Malaga to receive the full reasoning of the CFCB in order to consider their appeal options to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in Lausanne. When many believed that UEFA's licensing regulations were toothless, UEFA is certainly showing that its regulations bite. UEFA has the power to sanction clubs and is sending out a strong message that certain overdue debts will not be tolerated. By comparison, when the break-even requirement comes into force (in 13-14), similar sanctions, could well be applied.

Can't wait to see it.
Do you mean you haven't seen 'This is Spinal tap' ? 😮
Or you can't wait to see the game ? 😄
Personally I hope they keep the same rules… randomizing casualties will take a lot of tactics away from the game.
I'm looking to add to my number of units in 50th Anniversary edition, and have the means to pick up a Revised edition for kinda cheap, utilizing an Amazon gift certificate. While my out of pocket expense wouldn't be that much, I'd hate to waste the certificate.
Anyway…I'm kind of anal about the way the game looks, so can someone who has both editions tell me:
Are the units of each edition the same, in color, and in model sculpt? Obviosuly this wouldn't apply to Italy, and I guess China (although I'm not really familiar with Revised contents, or in fact any regular edition of A&A, all I own are 50th Anniversary, D-Day, and the computer version of Iron Blitz).
Please be detailed as possible, ie:
UK: identical colors, same sculpt for plane, bomber, different tank sculpt
USSR: different color, all sculpts the same/different.
Thanks in advance!
The colours used in the Anniversary Edition are:
US: medium green
UK: pale tan, a bit lighter than the normal British medium tan
Soviet Union: dark wine purple
Germany: dark grey
Japan: burnt orange
Italy: medium-dark brown
China (infantry only): lime green, somewhat different from the shade used for the British pieces in the Revised Edition
As far as the colour differences between the two editions go, the Revised Edition uses the same colours and shades as the Anniversary Edition for the US, Soviet Union and Japan. Germany uses the same or nearly the same shade of dark grey. Great Britain is the incompatible country: the pieces are pale tan in the Anniversary Edition and a kind of pale lime green in the Revised Edition.
In the Anniversary Edition, the five main countries nearly all use the same sculpts as the Revised Edition, except for Britain (which has new Matilda tanks) and Germany (which uses the new Panther tank design from Battle of the Bulge and the Me-109G fighter from the same game). In the Revised Edition, Britain uses Sherman tanks, while Germany uses the original-version sculpt of the Panther (it has a shorter gun and the treads don't have square side panels) and a Stuka rather than an Me-109G as its fighter (even though the Stuka was actually a dive-bomber). Some of the sculpts have small differences: for example the US Shermans have smaller turrets and the Russian T-34 are narrower. These five countries, plus Italy, also have a new cruiser piece. Apart from its distinct infantry and tank sculpts, Italy's land and air sculpts are copied from existing Japanese ones (artillery, bombers and fighters) while its naval sculpts are copied from existing German ones (carriers, battleships, cruisers, destroyers and transports).
CWO Marc
The colours in Revised can vary. I bought one of the later prints of Revised (3-4 years ago) and the UK colours are the tan of Anniversary (or Bulge).

Evita Kubhar '19 has had to hit the ground running, fast, in her new position as a registered nurse for a Northwell Health hospital on Long Island, New York. A member of Mercy's first nursing graduating class, Kubhar is new to the nursing profession, and the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation has forced her to learn the ropes at a rapid pace. "I've learned an incredible amount in such a short period of time," Kubhar reflected.
Kubhar is starting her career in a challenging environment where nurses wear full personal protective equipment (PPE) for shifts lasting 13 hours. While her current situation may not be what she imagined experiencing in her first year as a nurse, she is taking each day in stride. "Mercy taught me well and I definitely had the fundamentals needed to do my job. I'll be able to look back and tell future nursing students my experience — that we can handle anything that's thrown at us," she said.
Driven by the desire to be there for people, in their worst moments and their best, Kubhar feels fortunate to be healthy enough to serve coronavirus (COVID-19) patients in need. "It's not their fault they're sick – they deserve to know that they have someone supporting them, and it's important to me they know that I'm that person," she said.
Kubhar has learned how to be a "big self-advocate" thanks to her professors at Mercy. Mercy's administrators and professors were always open to feedback about the nursing program's progress, and Kubhar took advantage of opportunities to provide her input on strengths and areas for improvement. "I was lucky to be a part of the first graduating class — I learned to have a voice and speak up for myself," she explained.
This confidence has helped her transition from college to the real world, especially during such a unique time. "At Mercy I learned the importance of patience and humility, and that has certainly come in handy lately," said Kubhar.
Mercy is a strong community and by working together we will make our community even stronger. If you are a Maverick making a difference, or you know of one, let us know at firstname.lastname@example.com.

If you are an iOS developer, you have two options when testing your apps during development: Use real devices, or the iOS Simulator that ships with Xcode. With the large amount of device shapes and sizes these days, it's not feasible for a developer to have all of them, and that's when the Simulator comes in handy.
The Simulator is a very powerful testing tool that can also be used to create marketing materials such as screenshots and videos. Unfortunately, a large amount of this power is hidden behind dozens of terminal commands that many developers don't even know about.
Enter Sim Genie, the new Mac app by developer Curtis Herbert (also known for Slopes). Sim Genie is a native app that sits in the menu bar and offers an incredible amount of shortcuts and functionality related to Simulator management, testing, and more.
The app lets developers capture marketing-ready screenshots by modifying the simulated device's status bar, snapshot an app's container and restore it later (also useful for marketing), open universal links or deep links, trigger push notifications, and more. Everything can also be configured to be activated via keyboard shortcuts for faster access.
I've been using a beta version of Sim Genie for a couple of weeks, and it definitely delivers on its promise. One of my favorite features of Sim Genie which similar apps don't offer is that it seamlessly switches between different versions of Xcode, especially handy now that most developers are using both Xcode 11 and the new Xcode 12 beta.
Sim Genie is available on its website at a special introductory price of $14.99, and it requires macOS 10.14 or later.

Police: Driver was going 90 mph before crash
VINELAND - A 53-year-old city man was racing down Park Avenue at about 90 mph when his vehicle rear-ended an SUV driven by a pregnant woman, police said.
Donald Edmeads of the 700 block of Catherine Street was cited for racing on the highway, speeding and reckless driving after mid-day Oct. 18 crash, according to a police report released Wednesday.
When interviewed by police, Edmeads said he was headed west on Park Avenue and speeding up to pass a vehicle from the inside lane, estimating he was going about 60 mph. When he noticed a vehicle in front of him, Edmeads said, he tried to brake but was unable to stop his 1997 BMW in time.
Fiery crash in Vineland claims two lives
The other driver, a 27-year-old East Hanover, Pennsylvania, woman, also was headed west on Park Avenue and was about to make a right turn into the Harbor Freight parking lot when her 2002 Ford Explorer was hit.
The city's Emergency Medical Service was summoned because the female driver was 7 months pregnant and one of her passengers was a 1-year-old boy, who was in a child restraint seat. She also had an adult passenger.
Witnesses told police Edmeads' vehicle appeared to racing a silver Acura or Nissan Altima, which continued westbound on Park Avenue after the crash.
Edmeads' brakes smoked when he tried to stop, leaving 365 feet of skid marks across the road surface, a witness told the investigators, who estimate the driver's speed between 90 and 100 mph.
Town pays $500K in alleged beating over honking horn
Using a mathematical formula based on evidence gathered at the scene, the city's Traffic Safety Unit determined that Edmeads' vehicle "was traveling no less than 90.6 miles per hour."
The pregnant woman was taken to Inspira Medical Center Vineland to be treated for a head injury and as precaution due to her pregnancy.
Edmeads also received a summons for failure to inspect his vehicle.

Fujifilm X100V Camera / $1,400
Now in its fifth generation, Fujifilm's beloved walkaround camera takes a big step forward with the X100V. Its 23mm f/2.0 lens has been completely redesigned for higher resolution, lower distortion, and improved close-focus performance. Paired with a 26.2-megapixel X-Trans CMOS 4 sensor and X-Processor 4, it produces outstanding images with fast AF and face/eye detection even in low light. The hybrid viewfinder has also been improved, as has the rear screen, which has been upgraded to a two-way tilting touchscreen LCD. Instead of magnesium, the top and bottom plates are now milled from single pieces of aluminum, contributing to the camera's weather resistance. 4K/30fps video capture is also possible, with the ability to record 10-bit, 4:2:2 color externally via the HDMI port, but as always, the X100V remains a still-based affair and one of the best pocketable cameras on the market.

In this study, we use both resource-based and institution-based theories to examine potential sources of competitive advantage in the relatively new and rapidly growing biotechnology sector. We then use those theories as the basis for a multimethod study to assess the priorities, capabilities, and competitiveness of the emerging biotechnology industry in Malaysia. Multifunctional experts from a biotechnology industry organization in Malaysia identified the use of biotechnology for agriculture and biofuels as key country priorities, with access to funding and talent cited as key capabilities required for successful sector development. The gap between capabilities required and strategic priorities provides a "to do" list for industry development, with government institutions playing a central role in accelerating technology development and providing the capital flows necessary to bridge this gap. Implications include the need for public-private sector collaboration to enable biotech firms to efficiently obtain international investment and alliances to ensure sustainability, as well as to develop bold and creative approaches for developing and recruiting talent both at home and abroad.

Choosing a Bitcoin trading platform can be difficult. There are many platforms to choose from, but they all offer different features and benefits. Some people may want to trade on the go, while others may need more security than an online platform offers. In this article, we will discuss how to choose a Bitcoin trading platform that is right for you!
Why You Need The Best Bitcoin Trading Platform?
The Bitcoin trading platform is a marketplace where Bitcoin buyers and sellers can exchange digital currencies with each other. Many platforms offer users different features, benefits, security levels, and fees.
Users have the option to choose an online or mobile bitcoin trading platform according to their preferences, while maintaining full control over their funds. You can also trade with friends and family in a peer-to-peer (PTP) trading format using an online or mobile app, which is another great advantage of the Bitcoin trading platform.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Bitcoin Trading Platform
You need to be completely confident in your choice of trading platform as it will decide whether you will receive valuable services or not. Bitcoin Freedom Appis one of the reliable platforms you can evaluate. However, here are the factors to consider when choosing a Bitcoin trading platform:
1) Security:
Security is the first and foremost thing you should look for when choosing a Bitcoin trading platform because it will protect your funds from hackers, malware, scammers or other cyber threats. The good news is that there are many reliable bitcoin platforms that offer high-end security features to protect their users.
2) Banking Options:
Banking options will help you withdraw your profits from the trading platform. You should make sure that the Bitcoin exchange has a number of withdrawal and deposit methods for fiat currencies like USD or EUR, but it also offers some payment methods, including PayPal or credit cards.
3) Geographical Restrictions:
Geographical restrictions should also be taken into account. Some bitcoin exchanges only allow their users to exchange bitcoin with other customers in the same country, while others allow you to trade bitcoin and fiat currency without any limits. There is no perfect solution here, but one thing to keep in mind when choosing an exchange is trading volume.
4) Transaction Volume:
Transaction volume should also be taken into account. Trading volume is the amount of bitcoin traded on an exchange in a 24-hour period and can give you an idea of how much people trust that cryptocurrency. Large exchanges typically have high volumes, while small exchanges often have low or none.
5) Fees:
Fees are also an important consideration when choosing a bitcoin exchange. Some exchanges have low trading fees (0%), while others will charge you a fairly high percentage of the value of your trade as a commission. To find which one is best for you, it's best to compare them and see if they fit your needs.
This is all you need to look for when looking for Bitcoin investors!

Trump's ICE Pick Thomas Homan Warns Sanctuary State California 'Hang On Tight' Amid Immigration Crackdown
Donald Trump's pick to run Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has issued a chilling warning to California to "hang on tight" as he threatened a crackdown on so-called sanctuary cities, also suggesting politicians who back sanctuary status should be charged with crimes.
The department's acting director Thomas Homan on Tuesday evening spoke of a crackdown on places that have so-called sanctuary status, meaning there is a limit on how far local law enforcement will aid ICE officials.
In particular, Homan pledged California would see more ICE agents following its governor's October decision to give the entire state such status.
"We gotta take [sanctuary cities] to court, and we gotta start charging some of these politicians with crimes," Homan said in an interview with Fox News' Neil Cavuto, explaining he believed politicians who pushed sanctuary city legislation should be held "personally accountable" for their actions.
His comments came during a discussion on the move by California Governor Jerry Brown to sign into state law a bill giving the whole of California sanctuary status, in a move that appears to have infuriated immigration hardliner Homan.
"I think it's terrible–you got the state of California that wants to put politics ahead of public safety, ahead of officer safety. What they have done is forced my officers to arrest dangerous criminals on their turf, in their homes and places of business, rather than arresting them in the safety and security of a county jail. It's ridiculous to annoyingly and intentionally put law enforcement at risk," he said.
"If he thinks he's protecting immigrant communities, he's doing quite the opposite because if he thinks ICE is going away, we're not. There's no sanctuary from federal law enforcement. Matter of fact we're in the process now… I'm going to significantly increase our enforcement presence in California, we're already doing it."
"California better hold on tight. There's about to see a lot more special agents, a lot more deportation hours in the state of California," he added.
Homan, who has been acting director of the department since January and was announced as Trump's pick to permanently lead the department in December, has maintained a hard line on immigration, previously talking tough on undocumented immigrants when testifying before Congress in June.
"If you choose to enter this country illegally, which is a crime, you should be concerned. You violated a law in this country, and I'll tell you, you can't have it both ways," Homan said. "You can't be part of this country and not respect its laws."
Later in June, Homan said, "Sanctuary jurisdictions pose a threat to the American public by refusing to work with ICE and allowing egregious criminal offenders back into the community to put the lives of the public at risk."
