![]() We can be proud of that progress - but there is more we need to do. And I have raised the minimum wage for Federal contractors, which has significantly benefitted women - especially women of color - who are disproportionately represented in minimum-wage and low-wage jobs. In addition, my Administration has taken key steps to address pay discrimination, including issuing an Executive Order directing the Office of Personnel Management to take appropriate steps to advance equal pay at Federal agencies. We have turned the tide on women’s labor force participation, which the COVID-19 pandemic had pushed to a more than 30-year low. We also saw the strongest economic growth in nearly 4 decades, rising wages, and an estimated nearly 40 percent decline in child poverty. In our first full year in office, we saw the largest calendar year decline in unemployment. The Biden-Harris Administration has moved quickly to deliver results for women and working families and to dismantle the barriers that women face in the workplace. Over the course of a career, the pay gap can add up to hundreds of thousands of dollars in lost earnings, particularly for women of color, significantly impacting retirement savings and uniquely burdening households led by single mothers. The pay gap reflects outright discrimination as well as barriers that women face in accessing good-paying jobs and meeting caregiving responsibilities - including a lack of affordable child care, paid family and medical leave, and fair and predictable scheduling - which often prevent women from joining and staying in the workforce. Disabled women also continue to experience significant disparities and make 80 cents for every dollar compared to men with disabilities. And once again, the disparities are even greater for Black, Native American, Latina, and certain subpopulations of Asian women when compared to white men. ![]() In 2020, the average woman working full-time, year-round, for wages or a salary earned 83 cents for every dollar paid to their average male counterpart. ![]() But while we should celebrate the progress we have made, as I have said in the past, we should not be satisfied until Equal Pay Day is no longer necessary at all. The earlier that Equal Pay Day arrives, the closer our Nation has come to achieving pay fairness. This year, Equal Pay Day falls on March 15, the earliest we have ever marked the occasion. For over 25 years, Equal Pay Day has helped draw attention to gender-based pay disparities by highlighting how far into a new year a woman must work, on average, to earn what a man did in the previous year.

Now we know it's continuing to sink at an accelerated rate," said Dodson, a lawyer who has helped organize homeowners lawsuits. "To have the space agency looking at it debunks what (developers) have put out there. One of the building's tenants, Jerry Dodson, says that developers have given tenants the impression that the sinking was slowing and stopping. The tower is supported by piles driven 60 to 90 feet into landfill.Įngineers hired by the building and its developers have drilled deep holes around the building to test soil samples to determine if the building has stopped sinking, and if there's a way to fix it. The city agency, the Transbay Joint Powers Authority, blames the building's "inadequate foundation" which is not anchored to bedrock. He reiterated the developers' blame for the tower's problems on the city's construction of an adjacent railway station, which they say removed ground water from beneath the Millennium Tower that caused it to sink and tilt. The developer's spokesman PJ Johnston said he had no direct comment on the satellite data but issued a statement saying that the Millennium Tower is a state-of-the-art building that was "designed and constructed to the extraordinarily high standards" mandated by San Francisco. The building's developer, Millennium Partners, insists the building is safe for occupancy and could withstand an earthquake. The ESA decided to conduct regular observations of the San Francisco Bay Area, including the Hayward Fault, since it is prone to tectonic movement and earthquakes, said Potin, who is based in Italy.ĭata from the satellite, which is orbiting about 400 miles (700 kilometers) from the earth's surface, was recorded every 24 days. The Sentinel-1 study is not focused on the Millennium Tower but is part of a larger mission by the European Space Agency tracking urban ground movement around the world, and particularly subsidence "hotspots" in Europe, said Pierre Potin, Sentinel-1 mission manager for the ESA. The data detected a small slowdown this summer but one that needs further analysis, he said, and does not change the overall data. "What can be concluded from our data, is that the Millennium Tower is sinking at a steady rate," Marinkovic said in a telephone interview Monday from The Hague, Netherlands. The satellite data shows the Millennium Tower sunk 40 to 45 millimeters - or 1.6 to 1.8 inches - over a recent one-year period and almost double that amount - 70 to 75 mm (2.6 to 2.9 inches) - over its 17-month observation period, said Petar Marinkovic, founder and chief scientist of PPO Labs which analyzed the satellite's radar imagery for the ESA along with Norway-based research institute Norut. ![]() The Sentinel-1 twin satellites show almost double that rate based on data collected from April 2015 to September 2016. ![]() It has sunk about 16 inches into landfill and is tilting several inches to the northwest.Ī dispute over the building's construction in the seismically active city has spurred numerous lawsuits involving the developer, the city and owners of its multimillion dollar apartments.Įngineers have estimated the building is sinking at a rate of about 1-inch per year. The luxury high-rise that opened its doors in 2009 has been dubbed the Leaning Tower of San Francisco. The European Space Agency has released detailed data from satellite imagery that shows the skyscraper in San Francisco's financial district is continuing to sink at a steady rate - and perhaps faster than previously known. SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Engineers in San Francisco have tunneled underground to try and understand the sinking of the 58-story Millennium Tower. ![]() Amateur and professional investors alike can get creamed by companies with litigation risk. Litigation is nearly impossible to quantify and is frequently digital in nature. Stick with companies with a DEBT/EBITDA ratio of less than 4x. Debt/EBITDA is not a perfect measure of leverage, but it will suffice for most amateurs. If that's you, I advise you to at least avoid companies with a lot of leverage. Many investors only look at earnings and have no experience analyzing balance sheets, statements of cash flows or following the debt markets. Highly leveraged companies are risky, full stop. That includes assuming management is not telling you the entire truth or is at least trying to paint all news in the best light. If an opposing view comes along, don't treat it like someone kicking your dog. Keep an open mind and skeptical eye about all investments.Regardless of the losses, in the postmortem, there are a few lessons to glean from Endo. I sincerely hope my articles tempered investors' enthusiasm, at least enough to either not own so much of this disaster or to sell when they still had some value. As it turned out, Endo's core business wasn't even particularly stable, despite many people's high hopes for the company's drugs such as Xiaflex and Qwo. Regardless of a company's stability, 5x net leverage is high. ![]() Even in the rosiest scenarios, Endo was running with over 5x net leverage, the majority of it first lien. I get that we went through a period where companies could run with excessive leverage and refinance any maturing debt without much difficulty. What struck me most about the pushback, however, was how little people paid to the balance sheet. Investors generally only want to hear good news about their investments and take any critiques as personal attacks. I took considerable flack for my bearish call on this company. What Investors Can Learn from This Bankruptcy However, even I, as bearish as I was on the company, did not expect Vasostrict profits to vaporize so quickly and for the company's operations to deteriorate at such velocity. Last summer, I originally believed that bankruptcy protection would be the company's way of settling its opioid claims, with the potential loss of the Vasostrict patent trial as an added operational risk. Perhaps there are day trades to be had there, but ultimately I expect zero value unless the company's performance recovers amazingly during the year, which I consider unlikely This case will now come down to valuation and a judge will have to confirm that valuation and all settlements. The details are a bit scant, but judging by first lien debt in the high 80s to low 90s, second lien in mid-20s and unsecured in mid-single digits, I expect the first liens to get some sort of small reinstatement of debt and most of the equity here while the second liens and unsecureds get some small amount of equity. The secured holder offer is what is known as a stalking horse bid. 35 state AGs have agreed to settle with the company. The first lien debt holders are essentially offering to buy the company for $6 billion and offering a $550 million settlement for opioid litigants. As per usual in bankruptcy cases, the various advisors and lawyers will feast on the carcass and will be paid first. The company hired Skadden, Arps, PJT Partners and Alvarez & Marsal as bankruptcy advisors. Endo International ( ENDP) filed a petition for bankruptcy on August 16th after reaching an RSA (restructuring support agreement) with a majority of its first lien debt holders. A vampire who transforms into an animal may also benefit from that particular animal's attributes including razor-sharp claws, fangs or the ability to fly. ![]() While their physical attributes may fluctuate during such states, a vampire's mental acuity is the same as that when they are in their human shape. Transformation: Vampires often possess the ability to transform into a variety of creatures or effects such as bats, wolves, rats or even mist.In some cases, vampire mesmerism may be referred to as "glamouring". It often doesn't work against other supernatural creatures. This may become difficult against opponents with an extremely high will power. Hypnosis: Vampires possess the ability to hypnotize or mesmerize human targets.Particularly powerful vampires can control the minds of several people at once. Some are clairvoyant, others can communicate telepathically, some possess mind control. Psychokinesis: Most vampires possess some form of psychokinesis.However, a vampire's stamina wanes the closer it is to sunrise. Superhuman stamina: So long as they continue to consume human blood, a vampire can function tirelessly without rest or relaxation.Superhuman strength: A vampire's strength level is several times that of a normal human being and they are considered superhuman.Regeneration: In addition to being virtually indestructible, whatever damage a vampire does in fact suffer can be healed through the consumption of human blood.Bullets, blades and blunt objects do little to no damage to a vampire's body. Invulnerability: Vampires are invulnerable to most forms of injury (certain exceptions apply).Immortality: So long as vampires continue to consume blood, they will not age beyond the physical state they were in when they first became a vampire. ![]() Among the main ways that vampires have improved we find the following: Enhanced senses: Vampires have improved several times higher than those of any human being of course these skills can vary depending on each person they will have some other stronger senses of his companions always given the dedication and training that each set to improve ways.Each new vampire is traditionally subservient to the one who "turned" them, but some strong-willed vampires have been known to rebel against their masters. Vampirism: In addition to the various mental and physical benefits that vampires are heir to, they also possess the ability to turn others into vampires as well. ![]() Whether you're hitting the gym or heading out for a run, this headset is designed to provide an immersive sound experience without compromising on durability.

This is planned to increase to over 100 available technologies.” There are about 70 technologies in the game. Single player games are quite stable, multiplayer can be a bit unstable if you have a poor internet connection and the Executron experience (pure first person) has a fair few bugs but its still an immensely enjoyable experience. Please bear in mind some new bugs that I have not encountered may still be found. “The single player experience and multiplayer mode are available to play from the get-go. Was ist der derzeitige Stand der Early Access-Version? ![]() A better user interface will also be added, and placeholder assets will be upgraded to more bespoke permanent assets.” “The full version will have a single player experience, map editor, protester mode where you can join into any persons online game as a protester, more technology and more music.

The plates employ “intercell connectors” to help resist vibrations and eliminate internal sparking. More plates mean more surface area, which means more cranking power and reserve capacity for your car. This allows the plates to be much thinner than average, meaning more can fit inside the battery. Inside an Odyssey battery is a series of flat plates made of pure lead instead of lead alloy. Although the spiral wound design that Optima uses is effective, Odyssey takes a different approach in how they construct their batteries. Odyssey batteries have an impressive spec sheet, which is why they make our list of the best car batteries (and our list of the best truck batteries). #3: Best Service Life: Odyssey Performance Specifications (Odyssey Performance Series ODP-AGM96R) Suited for late model vehicles with electronic-intensive features, like heated seats, navigation, advanced infotainment systems, and start-stop technology.Įvery DieHard battery comes with a three-year, free replacement warranty.Īutomoblog staff members have reported good luck with DieHard batteries over the years, especially on the farm. We traded that truck in 2008 for another Ranger, with that DieHard battery from the summer of 2003 still under the hood. We basically drove the wheels off that Ranger during that first winter and every season after that. We spent most of that winter tending to old fences, cleaning and replacing parts on the equipment, and making a space in the Morton Building for our incoming shipment of Renze Hybrids. At the time, we were working on a farm in Monona County near Onawa, Iowa. One day there would be record-high temperatures in the 60s, followed by below-zero wind chills. While it was cold that winter (like all Iowa winters), there were also some crazy temperature swings. We changed the oil, flushed the coolant, replaced the tires, and swapped out the factory battery for a DieHard one. Since the mileage was higher than average, we did some work on it that fall, anticipating a rough winter ahead in Sioux City, Iowa, where we were living at the time. We ran a DieHard battery in our first compact truck, a higher mileage 2001 Ford Ranger with a 4.0 SOHC V6 we bought in the summer of 2003. However, our recommendation for DieHard as one of the best car batteries comes mainly from personal experience. Like the Optima RedTop, we trust DieHard batteries because of the brand’s longevity and continually high customer reviews. #2: Best Runner Up: DieHard Platinum AGM Specifications (DieHard Platinum AGM Group Size 35) With its Spiral Cell design, the RedTop provides a steady power source for your vehicle in all weather conditions.Įvery RedTop battery comes with a three-year, free replacement warranty. The Optima RedTop fits all late-model sedans, crossovers, SUVs, and trucks. The RedTop is built like a brick house, so the durability is there for rugged terrain. The benefits include a spill-proof, maintenance-free battery with better vibration resistance and higher reserve capacity.Īlthough more than ideal for a standard sedan or crossover, the Optima RedTop is also great if you drive something like a Jeep. Each of these spiral cells looks like a jelly roll when finished. ![]() In so many words, it’s a series of individual spiral-wound cells composed of two pure (99.99%) lead plates coated in lead oxide. ![]() ![]() Optima Batteries are known for their “Spiral Cell” design. ![]() Optima has been selling batteries for 40 years, which makes us more comfortable spending money on something like the RedTop. One thing we look for, especially with essential maintenance items like tires, brakes, belts, and batteries, is the longevity of a particular brand. Leading our list of best car batteries is the Optima RedTop because of its reputation for quality and durability.
