![]() “We’ve been advocating for this, of course, because ‘lend-lease’ will be a huge leap forward, and it is also very symbolic. “We can no longer rely on Soviet-era weaponry: It’s out of date, we’re running out of ammunition and it’s not operable with the armies of our Western partners,” said Yuriy Sak, an adviser to Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov. This latest version of the lend-lease program will give Ukraine access to some of the most powerful weapons systems in the U.S. to provide its allies huge amounts of weapons and military support to combat the Axis powers. ![]() The legislation resurrects a World War II-era program that allowed the U.S. While Russia is finishing its celebration of Victory Day, President Joe Biden is expected to sign the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lend-Lease Act, State Department spokesman Ned Price told NBC News. ![]() The disparity is growing to our benefit.”Īt the White House on Monday afternoon, that disparity may grow further. We have more and more modern weaponry that we receive from the West. “They are taking equipment from storage that is not combat ready or mobile or is obsolete. “With growing Western support, we have the advantage and Russia has nothing to respond” with, said Leonid Polyakov, a former Ukrainian deputy minister of defense who is now an adviser at the National Institute for Strategic Studies, a Ukrainian government think tank that provides counsel to the president. Yet, with the support of the West, Ukraine could soon boast one of the best equipped militaries in Europe. The stated intention of the Kremlin was to demilitarize Ukraine. Now, with Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stating that the United States is committed to seeing “Russia weakened,” Putin seems to have only empowered his perceived foes. Further, the Institute for the Study of War, a U.S.-based military think tank, said the Russians were pushed back dozens of kilometers by Ukrainian counteroffensives outside Kharkiv in recent days. Russian forces have moved forward in some areas, but are still fighting to gain control of the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol. Yet, Russia on Monday celebrated Victory Day, the annual holiday that stretches back to the end of World War II and the liberation of Europe from the Nazi regime.Īfter Russia's humiliating defeat outside Kyiv, its second offensive isn’t moving at speed, according to the Pentagon. These are just fragments of what I’ve witnessed after spending a month in Ukraine, the atrocities a result of President Vladimir Putin’s decision to invade this country. She and her son were eating soup after a dayslong journey from Kharkiv. “People are dying and schools, hospitals and homes are all being destroyed: no windows, no water, no electricity and constant shelling,” Natalia Ryabko, 38, said outside a refugee center at the Lviv train station. ![]() They could not see the sky, but they heard the explosions as rockets destroyed the city where they all had grown up. In Lviv, I met women and children who had lived in a Kharkiv basement for six weeks. In Odesa, one of the last free cities on Ukraine’s southern coast, missiles landed indiscriminately in neighborhoods, filling the air with loud booms, exploding in homes and killing a mother and her newborn, a teenage boy and others. In Irpin, destroyed Russian tanks were pulled to the sides of roadways to make way for Ukrainians who returned home after the invading soldiers left behind cratered roads, burned husks of houses, spent bullet casings, and booby traps for residents to discover. Families hoping to identify their loved ones looked in the unmoving eyes of dozens of corpses at varying points of decay. KYIV, Ukraine - At the morgue in Bucha, black plastic body bags rustled as they were pulled back from the faces of the dead.

![]() The customers selected merchandise as they continued through the maze to the cashier. Customers at Piggly Wiggly entered the store through a turnstile and walked through four aisles to view the 605 items sold in packages and organized into departments. The concept of the "self-serving store" was patented by Saunders in 1917. Piggly Wiggly Corporation secured the self-service format and issued franchises to hundreds of grocery retailers to operate its stores. Others were initially experimenting with this format, which came to be known as a "groceteria", reminding people of cafeterias, another relatively new, self-service idea. Losses due to easier shoplifting were more than offset by profits from increased impulse purchasing. Piggly Wiggly introduced the innovation of allowing customers to go through the store, gathering their goods, thus cutting costs and lowering prices. This created greater costs and higher prices. Instead, a customer would give a list of items to a clerk, who would then collect them throughout the store. A replica of the original store has been constructed in the Memphis Pink Palace Museum and Planetarium, a mansion that Saunders built as his private residence, which was later sold to the city.Īt the time of its founding, grocery stores did not allow customers to gather their goods. It was founded on Septem (although it did not open until five days later due to delays in construction), at 79 Jefferson Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, by Clarence Saunders. Piggly Wiggly was the first self-service grocery store. Historical marker near the site of the first Piggly Wiggly store in Memphis, Tennessee ![]() Central banks must be careful with QE, however, because continued large-scale asset purchases can lead to economic conditions monetary policy makers don’t want, like higher inflation and asset bubbles. This may sound similar to open markets, but quantitative easing often takes place on a much larger scale in more dire circumstances, involves buying more than just shorter-term government bonds and generally occurs when interest rates are already at or near 0%, meaning the Fed has already fully extended one of its primary weapons. With QE, a central bank like the Federal Reserve uses its massive cash reserves to buy up large-scale financial assets like government and corporate bonds as well as stocks. However, when the economy is in a slump, the Fed often lowers interest rates to spur lending and credit to individuals and businesses. economy is humming on all cylinders, discount rates are relatively high because the Fed doesn’t need to make borrowing money cheap to incentivize activity. Generally, these loans are meant to cover reserve requirements or liquidity issues banks can’t meet through loans from other banks, which offer a lower federal funds borrowing rate. This is the interest rate charged by the Fed on short-term loans to financial institutions. And by raising that requirement, it can do the inverse. By lowering the amount of cash banks are required to keep on hand, the Fed can encourage banks to lend out more money. Those reserves must either be secured in bank vaults or via a deposit in a qualified Federal Reserve Bank to ensure they have money available should customers need it. The Fed keeps a close eye on reserve requirements, or the amount of cash banks must have on hand at any time to comply with banking regulations. ![]() Historically, open market operations are the most commonly used tool to conduct monetary policy. By buying back securities, the Fed effectively increases the supply of money circulating-conversely, selling securities lowers the supply. ![]() The Fed buys and sells government securities, like Treasury bills and bonds, in the open market. Commercial banks reference the fed funds rate when they lend their excess reserves to each other overnight. Commonly called the fed funds rate, or the fed funds target rate, this is the target interest rate set by the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) at its eight yearly meetings. “The Fed executes these objectives through its power to control the money supply.” It was given these responsibilities in 1977 through a Congressional dual mandate, and it may enact its powers using a handful of tools. “The power of the Fed is derived primarily from its authority over these two prominent aspects of the economy,” says Robert Johnson, professor of finance at Creighton University. When unemployment is low and inflation is around the 2% level, consumers and businesses are in a good position to spend and invest money-as well as save adequate cash reserves-which meets the Fed’s mandate for a highly functioning economy. There’s no official target range, but historically the Fed has focused on keeping unemployment at about 3.5% to 4.5%.Īs for inflation, the Fed normally targets average annual price increases of about 2%. In general, that means the Fed aims to keep unemployment low, but not zero, to foster productivity without inciting higher inflation. Congress has tasked the Fed with a “dual mandate” that it pursues with monetary policy: maximize employment and maintain steady prices. In the U.S., the Federal Reserve is responsible for monetary policy. With monetary policy, a central bank increases or decreases the amount of currency and credit in circulation, in a continuing effort to keep inflation, growth and employment on track. What Is Monetary Policy?Ĭentral banks use monetary policy to manage the supply of money in a country’s economy. Here’s how managing the supply of money affects you and the rest of the economy. ![]() Monetary policy is the bedrock of any nation’s economic policy, and everyone from part-time workers to huge financial institutions, both foreign and domestic, are impacted as it shifts. ![]() To ensure you have a smooth experience, we recommend the following PC specifications: ![]() The Last of Us Part I on PC will include a number of bug fixes and improvements throughout the game, in big part thanks to our community’s feedback. ![]() The PC release includes a number of new control customization options including full control remapping, primary and secondary bindings for keyboard and mouse control, an adaptive mode that allows players to combine keyboard and controller inputs, and more.Īs our team has been hard at work on the PC version since Part I’s PS5 release, we’ve also been continuously listening to player feedback.

Improved focus and concentration: By stimulating brainwave activity associated with alertness and attention, they may improve focus and concentration, especially for people with ADHD.Ī systematic review of brainwave entrainment studies using binaural beats and isochronic tones concluded: Here are some of the ways that isochronic tones have been found to be helpful:ġ. ![]() ![]() However, given how accessible they are to listen to online you can easily try them out and see for yourself. It is important to note that research on the use of isochronic tones for these purposes is limited, and more research is needed to fully understand their potential benefits. They can also be effective for relaxation and meditation. Isochronic tones are most commonly used to boost focus and attention. What Are The Benefits of Isochronic Tones? So, that’s why this guide is going to focus on isochronic tones for improving focus and concentration. Generally, isochronic tones are better for entrainment of higher frequencies brain waves such as gamma and beta waves while binaural beats are better for lower frequency waves such as alpha, theta and delta. The key difference between isochronic tones and binaural beats - another popular form of brainwave entrainment - is that because they are single pulsating tone they can be listened to without headphones (whereas binaural beats involve the use of two different tones, one in each ear, which the brain perceives as a single pulsating tone). His research found that isochronic tones produce a stronger brainwave entrainment effect when compared to binaural beats but there hasn’t been a peer-reviewed study that has confirmed his findings since then. Arturo Manns in 1981 conducted at the Universidad de los Andes in Santiago, Chile. Isochronic tones were discovered in a scientific study by Dr. When the brain is exposed to these regular pulses of sound, it tends to entrain, or synchronize, to the same frequency resulting in a change in mental state. They work through auditory brainwave entrainment that uses consistent, evenly-spaced pulses of sound to stimulate the brain. Isochronic tones are audio stimuli that can be used to help entrain brain waves to a certain frequency and help you more easily access altered states of consciousness. ![]() and Latin American Studies, M.A.īusiness Administration, MBA and Law, Juris Doctor (California Western School of Law)īusiness Administration, Sports Business Specialization, M.B.A. Brazilian Studies Go to information for Brazilian Studies.īusiness Administration Go to information for Business Administration.īusiness Administration, Executives, M.B.A.īusiness Administration, Financial and Tax Planning Concentration, M.S.īusiness Administration, M.B.A. in Applied Arts and Sciencesīiomedical Quality Systems Go to information for Biomedical Quality Systems.īiomedical Quality Systems Advanced Certificateīiostatistics and Biometry Go to information for Biostatistics and Biometry.

The addictive, high pitched screams of the stick men will have you addicted, just smashing them to hear the crunch of their body crumbling and the squeal of their voices. Another high point of the game is the sound effects. For example, the monsters heads are made out of bottle caps, the battering rams from giant lolly pop sticks.you get the idea.

I want to do strategic planning and continue improving my current product and building new products. And this launch inspired me to continue.ĭoing it without preparation was so exciting that I think that’s the way one should always launch. I work daily on my product, and nothing significant happens, so motivation occasionally fades. It turns out that I much needed this push. Yes, the Product Hunt launch was worth it. I am new to the world of UI/HTML/CSS/front, but I will do my best to make sure the site looks perfect for mobile too. And some of these people could be my potential customers. I received many messages in my DMs that the site doesn’t look properly on mobile. But hey, my results are more than enough, and I am super happy. I believe the results would be much better if I prepared a list of friends who can support me and automated sending them messages on the launch day.

To continue the launch activities-be prepared. I went to sleep around 02:00-03:00 in my local time and woke up at 06:30-07:00. Once I returned, I continued to reply, share updates, and ensure everything went smoothly. But the funny thing happened when I walked for an hour and paused any activities-the growth stopped. Most of the day, I was replying to everybody and asking friends to support me. In the first hour of the launch, so many people supported many that I was more than happy. Since I didn’t prepare for the launch, I also didn’t send mass DM to my followers and product users. When the launch started, I sent my friends a few DMs and messages. But, of course, my intuition was trained by many stories I read on Twitter, listened to on podcasts, and discussed with my friends. I didn’t have time to read guides or prepare great visuals and texts. So, at some point, I realized-enough was enough and decided to launch: I wanted to be prepared for the Product Hunt launch, so I created a plan with things I wanted to do before setting the launch date.īut as time passed, I started adding more features to the list, and I couldn’t feel that the product was polished enough for launch.
