Animal cruelty laws stir free speech debate

A feverish debate in Tennessee over a law that would compel people with video of alleged animal cruelty to hand a copy over to police has set off a debate about wider First Amendment issues.
Lawmakers in Tennessee have passed a Livestock Cruelty Protection Act and sent it on to the state's governor, Bill Haslam, to sign or veto. The measure is similar to laws in at least nine states.
Haslam asked state attorney general Robert Cooper for an opinion on the act's constitutionality, and Cooper's 10-page report raises some broad issues.
The law would compel anyone shooting video of alleged animal cruelty to give a copy of it to law enforcement within 48 hours, or face a misdemeanor charge and a possible fine.
Supporters of Tennessee's proposed law say it will help officials fight against animal cruelty; protect public safety; and aide investigators as they try to determine when the incidents happened—and if video released by organizations or "news gathers" is outdated or edited.
The bill passed by a 50-43 margin in the state house, and a 22-9 margin in the state senate.
Opponents have labeled it as an "Ag-Gag" law and an attempt to curb the activities of animal rights' groups (who are undertaking prolonged investigations) and advance the interests of livestock owners. Celebrity Carrie Underwood is among the opponents.
Attorney General Cooper's opinion from Thursday was that the bill is "constitutionally suspect" on at least three grounds. In addition, Cooper has fears that the law could violate a person's Fifth Amendment right to protection against self-incrimination.
One of the three grounds listed by Cooper has broad implications: "[the] reporting requirement could be found to constitute an unconstitutional burden on news gathering."
Cooper points out that the First Amendment protects against burdens on news gathering and "while this principle has been recognized primarily in the context of the press, it has also been acknowledged that the concept of news gathering is very broad and can encompass a wide scope of activity outside what is recognized as the traditional press."
Supporters of the bills say is at the crux of their argument is that the law should protect a right to privacy.
While journalists have a right to shoot video, they also are restricted by state laws as to where they can record, especially in areas where the public doesn't normally have access.

"At the end of the day it's about personal property rights or the individual right to privacy," said Bill Meierling, a spokesman for he American Legislative Exchange Council, in a statement to the Huffington Post. "You wouldn't want me coming into your home with a hidden camera."
Others argue that act poses First Amendment problems for journalists, assuming they've obtained video under the consent and privacy laws in their states.
"The First Amendment protects an independent press because the Founders understood that freedom of the press is a logical extension of the basic freedom of speech and is vital to keeping government power in check," said Knoxville News Sentinel editor Jack McElroy in an April editorial.
"Freedom of the press means anyone can be 'the press.' In this era of websites, blogs and tweets, there are no practical barriers to self-publication, either.," says McElroy.
And in a USA Today editorial, Ken Paulson from the First Amendment Center wonders how Upton Sinclair, the famous muckraking journalist, would deal with the laws.
But he also makes an important point about state laws already on the books that should protect livestock owners from unwanted intrusions by photographers.
"State laws bar trespassing, so farm owners already have a means to keep activists off the premises. And if any videos are used to actually libel a business — meaning that the video is untrue or significantly misleading — there are other recourses in the courts," he says.
However, whether citizen journalists understand state privacy and consent laws is another matter.

We landed in Chattanooga about two months ago and I am finally finding my way back to this beloved space. Despite the numerous moves and transitions I have experienced over the past twenty years, it still takes me quite a while to find my groove again. The logistics of moving have become increasingly easier, and dare I say less stressful, yet the settling in and adjusting to new routines, learning ways to traverse new streets and stores, and getting a grasp on our new life in a new space is still a challenge. Not a challenge that I am not up for, yet a challenge nonetheless.
I am happy to report that all four of us are happy in our new situations. David finds his job stimulating and rewarding, and after learning the new computer system and his way around the hospital, he is quite content in his professional role. Jack has taken to his new school like a superstar and is excelling at his work, making many new friends, and developing new interests. He bravely agreed to try many different after school activities this school year including piano, drama, basketball skills training, and soccer (of which David has agreed to coach). He is busy and busy usually means happy. Rigby is enjoying his first taste of "school" at a Parent's Day Out program and, consequently, I am enjoying (for the first time in over two years) a few hours each week of "just me time". It's awesome! Rigby is also busy socially with a music class, play gym, and soccer.
My days are spent carpooling, accompanying Rigby to classes, visiting the library, running, trying new exercise classes like Barre, reading, volunteering, cooking/baking, doing some writing, running errands, hunting for the next place to go out for a meal or drink, and filling our calendars with hikes, camping trips, concerts, and visits with family/friends.
Life is full. We feel grateful for everything that fills our days. We are looking forward to many fun-filled years in this gorgeous Scenic City.


Hi folks! We all have a fancy for statistics, don't we? Don't you constantly keep an eye on the ICC rankings to see whether our very own Virat is at the top of the pile among ODI batsmen, or whether Ravindra Jadeja is among the best all-rounders in the world? To satiate our hunger for these statistics, SPORTZWIKI presents to you an all-new section 'STATS' in which we would cover the most interesting stats in the cricketing world. With the auction around the corner, we take a look at Top 10 batsmen with maximum 50s in IPL.
Virat Kohli was a rank newcomer in the inaugral season of the IPL, fresh from his triumph in the U-19 World Cup earlier in the year, but Virat has come a long way since a disastrous opening campaign for the Royal Challengers Bangalore and has proved to be one of the most consistent batsmen in the IPL. He is 10th in SPORTZWIKI's Top 10 batsmen with maximum 50s in IPL.
Although he is not known to play the unconventional shots that batsmen rely on to maximise their scoring options in this format, Jacques Kallis is still a dependable customer with the bat and has been rock solid for both RCB and Kolkata Knight Riders. The former South African all-rounder is 9th in SPORTZWIKI's Top 10 batsmen with maximum 50s in IPL.
Shaun Marsh was the orange cap holder in the inaugral edition of the IPL with a truly outstanding season for the Kings XI Punjab and the Australian has been ever dependable for Preity Zinta's side with an impressive 17 fifties in just 52 matches in the IPL.
When he is at his best, there is no better sight in world cricket than to see the Nawab of Nazafgarh tear apart some of the best bowling attacks in the world. Viru has 18 fifties in the IPL in 96 matches and finds himself in the 7th spot in SPORTZWIKI's Top 10 batsmen with maximum 50s in IPL.
Shikhar Dhawan had represented the Delhi Daredevils, Mumbai Indians before signing for the Hyderabad franchise, and the young Indian opener has enjoyed some of his best IPL performances playing for the Hyderabad team. He will continue to be a crucial player for Sunrisers Hyderabad in this year's IPL.
Warner is still fresh with the World Cup winning memories, Warner is in good form this season and would like to continue it by leading the Sunrisers Hyderbad side this IPL season. One of the most devastating opener in World Cricket today, when this man gets going, 50 is just a small score. 5th spot in SPORTZWIKI's Top 10 batsmen with maximum 50s in IPL.
There is NOBODY in world cricket who comes even close to the kind of destruction this man can inflict on the opposition. Ask the Pune Warriors India bowlers on what this big-hitting West Indian can do to a bowler's psychology as he smashed them all over the park in the previous IPL. And there is also a touch of consistency about Chris Gayle's batting, an end product to his pyrotechnics, and he finds himself at the 4th position in SPORTZWIKI's Top 10 batsmen with maximum 50s in IPL.
Rohit Sharma may have let himself down with his failure to convert his starts in Australia, Mumbai Indians skipper has been a regular in the IPL batting charts and finds himself at the 3rd position in SPORTZWIKI's Top 10 batsmen with maximum 50s in IPL.
Suresh Raina is Mr. Consistent in the IPL. With a record 3325 runs in the IPL, Raina is not just the most prolific batsman in the IPL, but also one of the most consistent, and his 24 fifties are proof that he is a reliable batsman in this format. Raina is 2ndn SPORTZWIKI's Top 10 batsmen with maximum 50s in IPL.
Gautam Gambhir, who has played for Delhi Daredevils and Kolkata Knight Riders in IPL, holds the record for the most number of fifties in the league. He has 24 fifties from his 105 matches. The southpaw has amassed 2863 runs in IPL. However, Gambhir is yet to score a century in the IPL and would be keen to make amends on that front.


iAddiction Is Addiction More About Behavior Than Substances?
The term 'addiction' has been the subject of controversy for quite some time. Some believe that the most accurate and reliable way to distinguish a person who is addicted is by assessing how much and how often the individual uses substances or engages in potentially addictive behavior. Alternatively, addictions can be defined by a distinct pattern of behaviors related to obtaining a substance or activity. Specifically, an addict will relentlessly pursue the substance or behavior even in the face of adverse consequences.
These definitions could apply to both behavioral and substance addictions. Both share the same association with changes in the neural pathway of the reward system in the brain.
• Taking the substance in larger amounts or over a longer period of time than was originally intended.
• Expressing a persistent desire to cut down or regulate use with unsuccessful attempts.
• Spending excessive time obtaining the substance, using the substance, or recovering from its effects.
• Craving: an intense desire or urge, especially in certain contexts (e.g., being in the same environment one typically uses the substance).
• Continuing to use despite persistent or recurrent social or interpersonal problems.
• Impaired social, occupational, or recreational ability.
• Risky use of the substance.
• Tolerance and withdrawal symptoms.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, substance addiction is a behavior, a state of mind, a way of life–but it is not only these things. It is also a biochemical process. For all their similarities, drugs do have characteristic signatures. They make their own distinctive trails through the reward pathways of the brain.
As with any other disease, addiction differs from person to person. No single factor determines whether a person will become addicted or not. In general, the more risk factors a person has, the greater the chance that taking drugs will lead to abuse and addiction. Protective factors, on the other hand, reduce a person's risk of developing addiction. Risk and protective factors may be either environmental (such as conditions at home, at school, and in the neighborhood) or biological (for instance, a person's genes, their stage of development, and even their gender or ethnicity).
The influence of the home environment, especially during childhood, is a very important factor. Parents or older family members who abuse alcohol or drugs, or who engage in criminal behavior, can increase children's risks of developing their own drug problems.
Friends and acquaintances can have an increasingly strong influence during adolescence. Drug-using peers can sway even those without risk factors to try drugs for the first time. Academic failure or poor social skills can put a child at further risk for using or becoming addicted to drugs.

In Utah Feud Over 'Dirty' Sodas, Flavored Darts Are Fired

By Julie Turkewitz
AMERICAN FORK, Utah — Minivans circled the shop like wagons in a western epic. Employees passed giant cups through a drive-through window. And inside, a woman named Taylor Warner reveled in her bit role in the battle that has overtaken Utah: the soda war of 2015.
"It gets wildly heated," said Ms. Warner, 21, an assistant manager at Sodalicious, a soft drink shop where a team of mixologists tossed shots of coconut syrup into schooners of Dr Pepper and sent them out the door.
So-called dirty soda shops have woven themselves into this state's fabric in recent years, offering concoctions spiked not with liquor but with flavor shots — a winning business model in a deeply Mormon state where alcohol and coffee are largely off limits and where sugar is the vice of choice. At Sodalicious, best sellers include the Extra Dirty Second Wife (Mountain Dew, fruit syrups, a shot of half-and-half), while down the road at a drive-through called Swig, customers like the Missionary (Sprite, tiger's blood syrup, coconut cream). Doctors, needless to say, are not thrilled by the trend.
As the shops have proliferated, a fight has broken out between Sodalicious and Swig, two of the larger chains, over the use of the word "dirty." Nicole and Todd Tanner, who started Swig in 2010, say they own the right to use the word to refer to flavor-infused drinks — they trademarked the idea in 2013 — and they are suing Sodalicious for taking their idea.
"We started seeing some of the knockoffs or whatever you want to call them — 'competitors,'" Ms. Tanner, 44, said in an interview. "We're just trying to protect our brand."
Sodalicious, which opened three years after Swig, responded to the lawsuit by saying that "dirty" had been used to refer to flavor-added drinks long before Swig employed it, and that the trademark should be canceled. Lawyers pointed to the dirty martini as evidence that Swig did not own the idea.
Kevin Auernig, 38, one of five people who own Sodalicious, called the lawsuit an attack on one of the few arenas where Mormons get to be a little naughty. "When they call us a knockoff, I don't care," he said.
As to whether Sodalicious's use of the word "dirty" is illegal, "that's for a judge has to answer," he added. "But 'dirty' has been around forever."
As with other food phenomena — the frozen yogurt craze, the Cronut-Doissant showdown and the stubborn persistence of the Pumpkin Spice Latte — the soda war has provoked an impassioned debate, with people who identify themselves as Swiggers defending the lawsuit and Sodalicious fans criticizing it.
"Only in UT would a soda shop think they own 'dirty' says every mixologist across the nation," Rhea Perry wrote on Twitter. "Real Genius @SwigStop #TeamSodalicious."
"Just found out my roommate is #teamswig," another person said on Twitter, "so ... I'm looking for new housing if you know of any."
Both soda chains have expanded in recent years, attracting mothers seeking an afternoon sugar buzz and high school students searching for a hangout. Swig's 10 locations look like pool patios, with candy-colored tables and giant umbrellas. The eight Sodalicious locations are more sedate, featuring the concrete and chrome décor of an urban coffee shop.
Customers can walk in or drive through at both chains, and both encourage frequent visits with punch cards that guarantee a free drink after multiple purchases. At both chains, a 44-ounce soda costs about $2, and add-ins are extra.
"I go there on my way to work and on my way home from work," said Britni Perry, 33, a Swig fan who works at a prison not far from her preferred soda stop. She orders a Dirty Dr Pepper (soda, coconut syrup) in the morning and a Mountain Dew Fruit Loop (soda and strawberry, peach and watermelon syrups) in the evening.
"They know me, they know my drinks, and they get excited when I walk in," she added. "It makes me feel good."
Swig's lawsuit accuses Sodalicious of not only stealing the term "dirty" but going so far as to use the same soda bubbles in its logo and to serve its cookies the same way — semifrozen with room-temperature pink frosting.
"Defendant is nothing more than a copy of Swig's exact business model," the document states. It adds that the "defendant's actions demonstrate an intentional, willful and malicious intent to infringe Swig's federally registered Dirty mark to Swig's great and irreparable injury."
At the Sodalicious here in American Fork, Ms. Warner, the assistant manager, said she had recently served a wave of Swig defectors who brought giant Swig cups they filled with Sodalicious product.
"It's turning people against Swig," she said of the lawsuit. "Which is a shame, honestly, because they're trying to do business, and I'm sure they're very nice people."
But five minutes down the road, at a Swig shop surrounded by its own circle of minivans, a shift leader, Bronwyn Varner, 18, insisted that her customers were as loyal as ever — and that Swig would win the legal battle.
"We call it the Mormon Starbucks," she said. "We had someone come by today and get one of the biggest orders I've ever seen. I was like, 'Oh, my gosh.' They ordered six energy drinks, they ordered at least 10 or 12 44-ounce drinks, and then all these cookies, and then all these smoothies. And we were just like, 'Oh, my gosh! Is it ever going to end?'"

Founded in the 1870s by the federal Freedman's Bureau, the Richmond Colored High and Normal School became part of the city's public school system in 1876. In 1909, a successor school, Armstrong High School, was founded as the first public high school for African Americans in Richmond.
When the school's original building was condemned in 1909, the school moved to the site of the former all-white Leigh School, at First and Leigh Streets, and was named Armstrong High School after General Samuel D. Armstrong, the white commander of an African-American regiment during the Civil War and founder of the Hampton Institute.
Armstrong High School was relocated in 1922 to a new facility at Prentis and Leigh Streets, and a twenty-one room addition was constructed in 1928. Despite this addition, the school suffered severe overcrowding as the only black high school in Richmond and had to run on double shifts. With the construction of the Maggie L. Walker High School in 1938, all pupils who had completed seventh grade went on to Walker for eighth grade, while all Armstrong students in the last half of their first year transferred to Walker. After one year at Walker, students who planned to attend college would return to Armstrong, while those planning to pursue vocational careers remained at Walker.
In 1952, Armstrong High School moved to a new site, 1611 North 31st Street, in the East End. This new school was constructed just prior to the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, Kansas that struck down racial segregation in public schools, the school was a so-called "equalization school," intended by racial segregationists to forestall integration by offering modern amenities approximately equal to those of whites-only elementary schools in Lynchburg at the time.
In compliance with desegregation laws, Armstrong was finally integrated in 1971.
In 1979, Armstrong High School and John F. Kennedy High School were combined to form the Armstrong-Kennedy High School complex. The schools merged In 2004, retaining the name Armstrong, in a new location at 2300 Cool Lane.
The Arrmstrong School building is a vernacular interpretation of the Art Moderne style, reflecting school design trends typical of the era. The building retains intact exterior and interior architectural features and offers a high degree of historic integrity for its setting, materials, and workmanship.

Concept and design of new visual identity, logo, trade show promotions and booth graphics. The Society of Petroleum Engineers Annual Technical Conference and Exhibition (SPE) is the largest individual-member organization that serves managers, engineers, scientists and other professionals worldwide in the upstream segment of the oil and gas industry. The 2012 conference marked the largest exhibition in the show's history, bringing together more than 11,000 oil and gas professionals from around the world. Wanting to put forth a new look to position themselves as experts and innovators in the field of material science, providing best-in-class ceramic proppants, Saint-Gobain Proppants needed a complete image overhaul. [Proppants are used to prop open hydraulically created underground fractures that surround oil and gas wells.] A rebrand of the booth space and graphic look was completed to reinforce a more modern, cutting-edge image. A bright, colorful palette was chosen to attract attention and stand out from competitors' visuals. The custom illustrations served as "eye candy" that lured passers-by into the booth space to inquire about the product innovations they depicted. Equipped with new booth graphics, pre-show promotions, and a new visual of a slogan that defined their products' key attributes — "Strong + Light" — Saint-Gobain Proppants stood out from their competitors at the show. "Our new display and supporting materials provide us with a strong foundation in the industry and position us for future success at the SPE exhibition," said the General Manager. This successful rebranded look will now be the basis for future campaigns and collateral.

i also added margin:0 auto so the img will be centered but that's only if you want to.
see jsfiddle or code snippet below.
OR you could set a max-width:x px to the image when the screen gets smaller. and leave it floated left see here > max-width
let me know if it helps

Multilevel models are valuable in a wide array of problem areas that involve non-experimental, or observational data. In many of these cases the data on individual observations may be incomplete. In these situations, the analyst may turn to one of many methods for filling in missing data depending on the specific problem at hand, disciplinary norms, and prior research.
One of the most common cases is to use multiple imputation. Multiple imputation involves fitting a model to the data and estimating the missing values for observations. For details on multiple imputation, and a discussion of some of the main implementations in R, look at the documentation and vignettes for the mice and Amelia packages.
The key difficulty multiple imputation creates for users of multilevel models is that the result of multiple imputation is K replicated datasets corresponding to different estimated values for the missing data in the original dataset.
For the purposes of this vignette, I will describe how to use one flavor of multiple imputation and the function in merTools to obtain estimates from a multilevel model in the presence of missing and multiply imputed data.
To demonstrate this workflow, we will use the hsb dataset in the merTools package which includes data on the math achievement of a wide sample of students nested within schools. The data has no missingness, so first we will simulate some missing data.
#> Amelia output with 5 imputed datasets.
#> Message:  Normal EM convergence.
fmla <- "mathach ~ minority + female + ses + meanses + (1 + ses|schid)"
The resulting object modList is a list of merMod objects the same length as the number of imputation datasets. This object is assigned the class of merModList and merTools provides some convenience functions for reporting the results of this object.
#>  "Linear mixed model fit by REML"
The standard errors reported for the model list include a correction, Rubin's correction (see documentation), which adjusts for the within and between imputation set variance as well.
Let's apply this to our model list.
Often it is desirable to include aggregate values in the level two or level three part of the model such as level 1 SES and level 2 mean SES for the group. In cases where there is missingness in either the level 1 SES values, or in the level 2 mean SES values, caution and careful thought need to be given to how to proceed with the imputation routine.


An imprint, which was left on my window by a large bird, inspired this piece. I didn't notice it until the sunlight hit it at the right angle, revealing the smudge. It was a full wingspan image of the bird, obviously in midflight. The visual art piece I created is from the photograph I took of my window.

PEARL, MS -- In the regular-season finale at Trustmark Park Tuesday evening, the Mississippi Braves completed the series sweep by defeating the Birmingham Barons 6-1. With the win and another win by the Jacksonville Suns, the M-Braves maintained a one-game lead in the Southern League South Division race with five games to play.
Tonight's victory was the M-Braves eighth consecutive victory, tying a Mississippi team record. Mississippi (41-24, 80-54) scored six runs on nine hits while Birmingham (29-36, 58-77) plated one run on eight hits. Daniel Castro led the Braves at the plate with a three-hit night. Erik Castro added a two-hit night.
The M-Braves jumped out to a quick lead in the first. Gustavo Nunez singled and Kyle Kubitza walked to start the inning. Cedric Hunter followed with a triple to center, plating both runs. Seth Loman's base hit made it 3-0. David Rohm then doubled down the right field line before Castro delivered a two-run single, making it a 5-0 game.
Tim Anderson blasted his first Double-A home run with a solo shot to the Braves bullpen in the third, cutting the M-Braves lead to 5-1.
In the bottom of the eighth, E. Castro reached on an error by the first baseman. D. Castro then delivered a double to left field, driving home the pinch-runner Barrett Kleinknecht and extending the M-Braves lead to 6-1.
Mitch Atkins (6-1) held the Barons to just one earned run on five hits and a home run. He walked one and struck out four in seven innings pitched. Myles Jaye (4-12) gave up five earned runs on eight hits and give walks. He struck out one in six innings of work and took the loss. Ryan Kelly and John Cornely worked the final two frames to close out the game.
The M-Braves take a day off before traveling to Huntsville for the final five-games of the 2014 regular season. In game one of the series Thursday, the Braves send right-hander Jason Hursh (11-6, 3.23) to the hill. First pitch is slated for 6:30 PM.


Yes a whole race does not necessarily have to belong to one religion or Etada or whatever.
In general when reading Lore articles, I see that Men are more likely to lean towards Aedra, especially nine divines. Also the Men rebellion against Mer (Ayleids) is supported by Akatosh. Later, One Man, Talos rised to Aedra. Also his lineage was supported by Akatosh.
Q1- Why are men mostly favored by Aedra, even though Mer are supposed to be decedents of them?
Also, I get that CHIM is a way of realizing your own potential, becoming one and rising to godhood.
I think that both Almsivi and Tiber Septim raised to godhood with this method. But Tiber Septim used a Aedric way when Alsmivi used a Padomic way. (Lorkhan's heart) Even though in lore there's no exact line that says they all used CHIM, but that is what I get from it. Also Lorkhan in some textures is supposed to be wishing Men realize their potential and by applying CHIM.
Only 3 people have managed CHIM - Tiber, Vivec, and Mankar Camoran. Lorkhan tried and failed (on purpose, as you've alluded to) and the daedric princes are aware of it, but cant use it. Tiber did it through sheer force of will, Vivec by dealings with Molag Bal, and Mankar by... a whole heap of messed up stuff. No one else, certainly no mortal or semi mortal, knows it.
Talos is a divine, not an Aedra. The latter is an elven concept that means ancestor spirit - something Talos cannot be. Another thing to consider is what the 9 divines are - a mix up of gods from human, elven and somewhere in between pantheons intended to promote unity in Alessia's empire. Of course they would favour humans, they are their chief worshippers. The elves of course, venerate their own set still - and are blessed by them.
Thanks for the reply. So there isnt a pattern like mer favored by aedra men favored by daedra?
Nope. Both are equally favoured by their view of the underlying Aedric beings - Only Dunmer venerate Daedra in particular. With mixed results.
ALMSIVI did not use CHIM to achieve divinity (not collectively, anyway). They tapped into the divine heart of Lorkhan using Kagrenac's tools; that's all they needed to become living gods. Vivec achieved CHIM separately from this act.
CHIM is just CHIM; there aren't really different kinds of it. It's a perspective on the whole universe and your place in it. As CBR says, it allows you to reshape the universe as you desire, as a lucid dreamer might shape their dream.
Additionally, Talos did not ascend solely by way of CHIM. There's a whole lot of complicated metaphysics involved in why Talos is a divine, but the super basic version is that three (special) mortals acted out a myth that lies at the heart of the universe and, by virtue of its importance, became "important" themselves.
There are many kinds of divinity in TES, and many paths to it. At least six, in fact (according to Vivec, I believe). I've recently seen it claimed that Talos took five of them, you know, just to be sure.
I have a question of my own, though: I remember talking about Camoran having achieved CHIM, and being convinced, but I don't recall how this was deduced. CBR, do you care to elaborate on that?
It was you who told me, it was why I summarised as a whole heap of messed up stuff was because you didn't say then, but it sure does make sense him knowing it.
Haha, wow, I feel kind of dumb now.
I'll do some reading and see if I can't refigure it out.
Edit: Well, I can't seem to retrace whatever steps led me to that conclusion. Or perhaps I have retraced them and found them lacking. It seems to me that Mankar only knew about CHIM, rather than actually achieving it. Though if he did know it, that would handily explain how he became dragonborn.
Exactly, Oblivion made it very clear that Mankar was dragonborn, and him making himself dragonborn is far more logical than Akatosh doing it. And lets face it, he is on the right side of insanity to risk moving beyond mere awareness.
At least six, in fact (according to Vivec, I believe).
Common speculation pegs Dagoth Ur as having "reverse CHIMed." Instead of realizing that everything is part of the Godhead, Ur decided everything was part of him and tried to make the whole world realize and accept it through corprus.
Long(er) answer, the Aedra aren't really favoring man, they just seemed to have found reason to appreciate the mortal realm, and this has been a boon to both man and mer. It's just that mer are generally more disdainful of the mortal realm.

the Nazis, the inverse of Godwin's Law is made complete, and the impact of our comparison becomes more challenging. They should possess a long history and interesting origins - come up with the whole 1-page story for your word. Intrator and Megan Scribner, editors Our newest poetry collection salutes the tenacious and relentless optimism of teachers and their belief that despite the many challenges and obstacles of the teaching life, much is possible. We give you warning that this video contains disturbing film and pictures of the Nazi concentration camps, the Nazi Lebensborn project, and the Hitler youth program. The 1st thing to include is an official dictionarys explanation. Is to avoid the greatest of evil, which is to destroy ourselves through our own ignorance and fear, the examined life is the path we all must share as we work together to build a life worth living. The Essential Truth We all have an intractable obligation to benefit ourselves. Surprised by the fact that he likes being old, he writes, Welcome to the brink of everything. What Is a Definition, essay? This is always true to the extent that we survive and thrive better as a group than as a hermit.
We ask you to consider what was discussed above, that "The full identity of human evil is already manifest in dissertation proposal-statement of the problem the smallest of events, because the smallest of discourtesies find their origin in the same grounding of ignorance and fear as the largest of holocausts.". The Socratic response to this clear and present danger works by joining our instincts for benefiting ourselves with the daily practice of ordinary reasoning. The ability of all citizens to relate to one another with integrity was of the utmost importance because acquiring a high position in the government was possible for any male citizen who was at least 30 years old. This reality underlays Socrates' comment in Plato's Republic (564a) that, "tyranny is probably established out of no other regime than e greatest and most savage slavery out of the extreme of freedom.". Think of your own realized and potential virtues. This means that it is impossible for a human being to willingly do wrong because their instinct for self interest prevents them from doing. The full identity of human evil is already manifest in the smallest of events, because the smallest of discourtesies find their origin in the same grounding of ignorance and fear as the largest of holocausts. Ignore words that are universal in every culture (these words can be "hi caf, or "telephone. Do you want your own children to develop the habit of living the examined life in which they regularly exercise themselves to thoughtfully examine their own knowledge and character in order to strengthen and better themselves? Socrates would ask who is better off. In their intuitive calculus of personal benefit, they conclude that their overall state, which results from cutting, is better than the state of unrelieved stress. A basic principle in this Socratic perspective is that choices, right or wrong, serve the ends that the chooser seeks to obtain and not the means through which the ends are realized.

About Team	Financial Ratings Whitepaper
About Olyseum
Olyseum is a tech company focused on sports with a collaborative design. Our goal is to bring stars and fans closer and allow them monetize their audience and engagement. We have a native token called OLY. The OLY token is a utility token that has been certified by FINMA (swiss regulator), giving us a non-action letter for utility tokens and a tax ruling, one of the only companies in Switzerland with this approval. The OLY token aims to recreate the dynamics of a circular economy. In a circular economy, the resources within it are exchanged back and forth among participants, with minimum "waste" outside the system. As the economy adds more participants to it, and as participants increase their interactions, there's a natural increase of demand for the means of exchange, which in this case is the OLY token. The OLY token will allow users to gain access to exclusive experiences, products and services, built with top level stars. The token will be earned by fans by actively interacting with content and other social activity. The token will mainly be purchased by brands either to the market or direct in retail. Retail will always be higher price, so we will encourage a continuous demand to the exchange we will partner with. Around a 30% of the advertising income will be used to automatically buy OLY tokens on the secondary market to provide rewards to our active users, depending on their engagement.

The following lists tracks retail take up rates in pro-rata capital raising offers.
Amcor: see announcement. on September 15, 2009 when Amcor confirmed it raised $407 million from retail investors at $4.30, still leaving a shortfall of 13.2 million shares or 16.2%. No breakdown between entitlement and overs but would guess approximately 50% of shareholders took up the offer.
Alumina 2008 (53% retail take up or $141m out of $266m): raised $910 million through a renounceable 5-for-19 offer at $3 a share in September 2008 which saw retail investors who didn't participate receive a 35c premium courtesy of the institutional bookbuild. The $266 million retail offer was only 53% subscribed.
Apex Minerals: 2-for-15 entitlement offer at 20c in June 2009 which didn't allow for any additional applications.
APN News & Media (55% subsscribed by retail with $8.8m out of $16m but then swamped with overs). completed 1-for-5 entitlement offer at $1 a share in June 2009 to raise $99 million. The controlling Irish shareholder did not participate in. The institutional component was $83 million and the retail $16 million, which closed fully subscribed courtesy of $8.8 million in applications and $39.4 million in overs, which were heavily scaled back.
Asciano: raised the maximum $427 million through a retail entitlement offer in 2009 which attracted $604 million in applications but no breakdown provided of entitlement and overs. This announcement said 80% of retail investors participated. The scale back policy was a flat 2.1 times the entitlement.
Aspen Corporation: applied for $10,000 worth of shares at 30c but scaled back to tiny allocation. See announcement on June 19, 2009.
Australand 2008:$461 million renounceable rights issue at 60c completed in September 2008. Singapore Government stepped up with $300 million as major shareholder but $122 million retail offer received applications of $96 million but no breakdown between entitlement and overs. No premium from the bookbuild for investors who declined to participate.
Australand 2009: $475 million 7-for-10 entitlement offer in August 2009 at just 40c a share, which included $80.3 million from retail investors and $15 million from under-writers. The second offer accepted $100,000 in "overs" with no renounceability. No breakdown between entitlement and overs.
Australian Infrastructure Fund: see announcement on July 17, 2009. This company was close to 50% owned by retail before 1-for-2 capital raising at $1.10. No disclosure of breakdown between entitlement and overs but they scaled back 12% of overs applicants and were left with a shortfall of 18m shares or 19%. Am guessing the $106m retail offer was about 50% subscribed before overs.
BC Iron: announced a $9.4 million placement and $12.6 million 1-for-6 entitlement offer in June 2009 which is underwritten by Argonaut Securities. The retail component doesn't appear to have any ability for retail investors to apply for extra. See announcement on July 23, 2009.
Bendigo & Adelaide Bank: $121 million retail offer at $6.75 attracted $121 million in total applications but no breakdown between entitlement and overs. Scale back policy was a minimum of 1000 shares or 3 times. See announcement on September 14, 2009.
Billabong (59% retail take up or $36m or $61m): the first entitlement offer where the "overs" of $42 million exceeded the entitlement applications of $36 million. It seems the word is spreading. The retail maximum was $61 million but the scale back policy was generous to smaller investors because it accepted for a minimum of 7,500 shares worth $56,250 or 3 times the entitlement. Our $25,000 application was accepted in full.
Bunnings Warehouse Property Trust $150 million: 1-for-3.06 entitlement offer at $1.50 a unit in May 2009 with no placement component. Retail applied for $53 million in "overs" but this still left a $26 million shortfall for institutions.
Charter Hall: billionaire John Gandel agreed to become a cornerstone shareholder at just 33c a share and when the shares spiked up to more than 50c after the original announcement, he scooped up the entire retail shortfall of 9 million shares. Why did Charter Hall even bother to invite additional applications if it had agreed to do this? See announcement on June 23, 2009.
Clarius: see announcement on September 30, 2009. $20,000 into 1-for-3.5 entitlement offer at 64c but scaled back to just 10 new shares as formula was 2.3 times entitlement.
Clean Seas Tuna: I applied for $3300 worth of shares but was only allocated 13 in their 1-for-8 entitlement offer in June 2009. The really strange thing was they suggest they were left with a shortfall so it looks like existing shareholders were shafted and the under-writer picked up the discounted left overs. See announcement on June 17, 2009.
ConnectEast $871 million: revealed a one-for-one offer at 55c in December 2008 which saw professional tollroad investor and main underwriter CP2 finish with 27% of the company. All retail applications asking for additional shares over and above the entitlement were satisfied before CP2's underwriting kicked in. Came back with another $421 million 1-for-2 raising at 33c in August 2009 with no ability for retail to apply for extra.
DUET: a 1-for-6 at $1.30 in 2009 had a maximum retail allocation of $48.6 million which was met by allowing overs of 3.5 times the entitlement. No disclosure of entitlement and overs breakdown. See announcement on May 1, 2009.
Fairfax Media: (53.3% retail take up or $97.6m out of $183m theoretical maximum). Raised $623 million in a 3-for-5 entitlement offer at 75c in April 2009. Retail component had a maximum of $183 million and Fairfax received $123.3 million in applications, comprising $97.6 million in entitlements and $50.4 million in additional applications. The overs were scaled back by $23 million and the formula was 3 times the entitlement or 50,000 shares worth $33,333. This led to 98% of applicants for additional new shares being satisfied but the offer finished $61 million short of the retail maximum. See announcement on April 3, 2009.
FKP 2008: the troubled Queensland property player announced a $150 million 5-for-14 entitlement offer at $1.50 in October 2008 but this only produced $105 million as the market tanked. Retail participation appeared very small but no disclosure as was all done as one offer.
FKP 2009: $324 million 1-for-1 entitlement offer at 40c in mid-2009. Retail component was worth $120 million and received 46% acceptances even though it was renounceable and investors could not apply for overs. The remaining $65m was offered in a bookbuild by Goldman Sachs JB Were and cleared at 40c, so no premium was paid to non-participants.
GPT Group (73% subscribed by retail): 1-for-1 $1.7 billion entitlement offer at 35c in June 2009 which only allowed retail investors to apply for "overs" equivalent to 25% of their entitlement. This partly explained why the offer finished $73 million short of the $300 million under-written retail component, all of which went to the under-writer UBS and its clients. See announcement on June 16, 2009, which at least disclosed that the total overs comprised just 27 million shares out of the 857 million on offer. This suggests the retail offer was 73% subscribed for retail entitlements, equivalent to $218 million out of $300 million.
Gunns: entitlement offer at 90c was over-subscribed courtesy of the overs so full $31 million raised but no disclosure of breakdown. See announcement on September 30, 2009.
Gunns $334 million: raised $333 million from institutions through an accelerated 7-for-10 entitlement offer at $1.50 a share in August 2008 but then only an additional $1.4 million came through the door from the retail offer given the stock had tanked with the whole market after Lehman Brothers collapsed.
Hastie (66.86% retail take up, then oversubscribed by overs): raised $77 million through a 1-for-4 entitlement offer in June 2009. The maximum retail component was $17.2 million but Hastie received $22.7 million comprising $11.5 million in entitlements and $10.7 million in additional applications. The "overs" were cut in half to $5.7 million through a formula which gave shareholders 3.76 times their entitlement but with no minimum allocation to look after small shareholders. See announcement on June 17, 2009.
Incitec Pivot $902 million: 5-for-13 entitlement offer at $2.50-a-share in late 2008 but the focus was very much with the $819 million raised from institutions rather than the $83 million from retail investors, which was well short of the $351 theoretical maximum. The retail offer wasn't under-written.
MacMahon Holdings: initially announced a $60 million raising comprising a $25 million institutional placement at 32c, an accelerated $20 million 1-for-5 institutional entitlement offer at 32c and a retail entitlement offer raising a maximum of $14.8 million. Despite taking up its full entitlement, major shareholder Leighton applied for extra shares in the retail offer and there was only a shortfall of $2.8 million anyway, which was massively over-subscribed by those retail shareholders who applied for extra. The scale back formula revealed that retail shareholders would get no more than 59% of their entitlement in extra shares. See announcement on June 15, 2009.
Macquarie Airports: raised $356 million through 1-for-11 raising at $2.30 in September 2009 to fund purchase of management contract. Received $670 million of application and there was only 11.6m shares or just 7.5% of those available left on the table by the combined retail and institutional investors. No disclosure of retail breakdown but take-up was clearly very high.
Macquarie Office: did a $100 million placement and then raised $408 million in a 1-for-1 offer at 20c in 2008-09, including $162 million through the retail offers which comprised accepting all applications for additional securities. Even former CEO Simon Jones applied for extra stock, something he couldn't have done if he was still a director. There was no disclosure of the breakdown between entitlement and "overs" in the retail offer and with Macquarie itself stepping in to buy an additional $78 million through its under-writing of the retail component. The institutional component was $243 million and Macquarie took up $28 million through this facility for a total investment of $106 million.
OneSteel: (50.16% retail take up or $160m out of $319m) 2-for-5 entitlement offer at $1.80 with a retail component worth a maximum $319 million. Received $238 million in applications, comprising $160 million in entitlements and $78 million in "overs". A $33 million scale back was imposed which saw the "overs" limited to 3 times the entitlement or 18,000 shares worth $36,000. This led to 99% of applicants for additional new shares being satisfied. See announcement on May 12, 2009.
Orica (52% retail take up or $153m out of $295m): the $899 million renounceable entitlement offer in August 2008 was a one-for-eight at $22.50 a share. Institutions stumped up $604 million and retail were offered $295 million. However, only 52% of the shares available were taken up (6.8m out of 13.1m) and the rest were sold to institutions at a 10c premium of $22.60 which raised $138 million. Retail investors couldn't apply for overs but did renounce into the bookbuilt, for which they collected just 10c a share.
Pacific Brands: 3-for-4 entitlement offer at 60c in June 2009 which raised $256 million, including $92 million through the retail offer. The company only allowed retail investors to apply for double their entitlement, partly explaining why the under-writer had to pick up the 17 million share shortfall. No disclosure of the size of the amount refunded and the percentage of applicants satisfied. See announcement on June 10, 2009.
PanAust: allocated retail shareholders who applied for extra stock no more than 54% of their entitlement in "overs". See announcement on June 25, 2009.
Paperlinx ($35 million of $77 million retail component received or 45.45%): a 2-for-5 entitlement offer at $1.25 a share in October 2008 which raised $185 million and has been a disaster for investors. Retail component was $77 million but only $35 million was received given lack of overs and no renounceability.
Santos: (less than 40% take up) revealed a $3 billion 2-for-9 entitlement offer in May 2009 which received $1.75 billion from institutions and had a theoretical maximum of $1.25 billion for retail investors. Applications of $1.1 billion poured in but no break-down was provided between entitlement and additional applications. Santos was the second secondary retail offer ever after Wesfarmers to receive more than $1 billion in applications but they came up with a bizarre scale back where everyone gets the minimum of 5000 shares unless you applied for more than 5000 shares in which case you get scaled back to 3 times your entitlement. This formula caused refunds of more than $160 million which increased the under-written short-fall to a whopping $312 million or 25% for the likes of JP Morgan and its partners Citi and Deutsche. Clearly some very small shareholders made some massive applications for "overs" because this policy fully satisfied 98% of applicants. See announcement on June 16, 2009.
Peet $77 million: 1-for-3 entitlement offer at $1.10 a share in May 2009 with no placement component. Retail maximum was $17 million and received $13.2 million or 77% but this included unlimited "overs" with no disclosure of breakdown.
Rio Tinto $US15.2 billion: raised in June 2009 through a strictly pro-rata 21-for-40 renounceable rights issue as is required by British law. The Australian shortfall saw 7.86 million shares auctioned off at the offer price of $28.29. Institutions bid $48.50, so non-participants collected $20.10 per right. No break down between institutional and retail but the overall Australian offer was 94% subscribed.
Sigma Pharmaceutical $297 million: 1-for-3 entitlement offer at $1.02 a share in September 2009 which had no placement component and a bookbuild to compensate those who don't participate.
SP Ausnet $405 million: completed a 1-for-4 entitlement offer at 78c a share in June 2009 raising $333 million from institutions and $72 million of the $80 million sought from retail. Good disclosure revealed that 54% of investors participated and the ability to apply for "overs" was important, but no breakdown between entitlement and overs. All "overs" were accepted.
Suncorp (26.89% take up or $135m out of $502m) : announced a big placement and 1-for-5 entitlement offer with a theoretical retail maximum of $502 million but Suncorp only received $191 million in applications, comprising $135 million in entitlements and $56 million in overs. There was no scaleback as this announcement explains.
Virgin Blue: offered a heavily discounted 1-for-1 offer at 20c in September 2009 and came up with a flat scale back formula for "overs" of 0.842 of each applicant's entitlement. There was no minimum allocation of "overs" for all those thousands of shareholders stuck with unmarketable parcels courtesy of the Toll de-merger and plunging share price. See announcement on September 8, 2009.
Wesfarmers (50% take up or $1.5bn out of $3 billion): 3-for-7 entitlement offer at $13.50 with a theoretical retail maximum of $3 billion. The scale back announcement dropped at 7.28pm on February 25, 2009, revealed that despite only receiving $1.8 billion in applications, $100 million of the $300 million in "overs" was being rejected. So whilst institutions were placed shares worth $900 million over and above their entitlement, retail investors ended up leaving $1.3 billion on the table. The scale back formula was 3 times the entitlement or 1,000 shares worth $13,500 and this led to 95% of applicants for additional new shares being satisfied. See announcement on February 25, 2009.


Hamburg, 30 January 2019. Today the wine-trading group Hawesko Holding AG (HAW GR, HAWG.DE, DE0006042708), Europe's leading wine trading company and Germany's No. 1 purveyor of premium wines and champagnes, announced that based on preliminary figures it achieved consolidated sales of EUR 525 million in fiscal year 2018. For the first time, this figure includes a sales contribution of the Austrian market leader Wein & Co. Thus, sales of the Hawesko Group in fiscal year 2018 increased by 3.5% over the previous year. Excluding Wine & Co., consolidated sales amounted to EUR 511 million (+0.7% compared to the previous year). As the German wine market overall declined in terms of value and volume in fiscal year 2018, the Group once again increased its share of the market. With regard to consolidated EBIT, the Hawesko management board expects a figure of approximately EUR 28 million excluding the non-recurring charges arising from Wein & Co. In the previous year, EBIT amounted to EUR 30.4 million. Including the non-recurring charges from the initial consolidation of Wein & Co., consolidated EBIT for 2018 will be approximately EUR 25 million based on preliminary figures.
Hawesko Holding AG is a leading supplier of premium wines and champagnes. In fiscal year 2017, the Group employed 954 persons in the company's three sales channels: omnichannel (Jacques' Wein-Depot), B2B (Wein Wolf and CWD Champagner- und Wein-Distributionsgesellschaft) and digital (particularly HAWESKO and Vinos). The shares of Hawesko Holding AG are listed on the Hanseatic Stock Exchange in Hamburg as well as in the prime standard segment of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

'Reverie,' starring D-FW actress Sarah Shahi, gets full season at NBC

Euless-born Sarah Shahi, known for her role in Person of Interest and various other TV projects, will star in the new NBC series Reverie during the 2017-2018 season. The series pickup was announced by the network on Friday.
Reverie is a thriller that follows Mara (Shahi), "a former hostage negotiator and expert on human behavior" who is tasked with helping save people who have lost themselves in a virtual reality game "in which you can literally live in your dreams."
Sounds interesting enough, though the NBC description ends by saying, "she finds that in saving others, she may actually have discovered a way to save herself," which is all kinds of cheesy.
Shahi went to college at Southern Methodist University and was a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader for the '99-'00 season. Last year, she starred in the pilot for a Nancy Drew series being considered at CBS, but it did not get picked up by the network.
According to her Instagram, she was washing dishes when she got the news that the series had been picked up. "I can't wait to blow your socks off. Thank you for the opportunity, NBC," she said.
#reverie coming atchya'... @nbc @amblin I feel so blessed to be working with such incredible talent from the cast to the creators, I'm so very thankful 🙏🏻.
A post shared by Sarah Shahi (@sarahshahi) on May 12, 2017 at 12:28pm PDT
Reverie will be a one-hour weekly drama when it airs.

Athletic Blacks vs Smart Whites: Why Sports Stereotypes Are Wrong
Written By cganemccalla
Before playing the Stanford team in the Final Four, UConn women's coach, Geno Auriemma, said people underestimated Stanford because they think white players are soft. More pointedly, he pointed out that his players, who are predominantly African-American, should be given the same respect for their discipline for which Stanford's team was praised. The coach was simply exposing stereotypes that have been around for a long time.
Black athletes are usually given credit for their "natural athleticism," while whites are credited for their "hard work," "discipline" and "knowledge of the game"; as if Black athletes are naturally given the gift of great athleticism, and white people become great athletes through hard work, discipline and intelligence.
Every Black athlete who is successful has worked very hard and is knowledgeable of their sport. Every white athlete who is successful has natural athletic ability.
The problem with stereotypes in sports is that they often lead to general stereotypes. If you say "white men can't jump," why not "Black men can't read defenses"? And if Black men can't read defenses, maybe they can't read books either?
Sports stereotypes have a real effect in the real world. Most employers are not concerned with employees' natural athletic abilities, so stereotypes of African-Americans being athletically superior for the most part do not help Blacks in the real world. However, the stereotypes of whites being hard working, disciplined and smart are helpful to them in finding employment.
One of the most prevalent stereotypes in sports is that of the Black quarterback. Both Rush Limbaugh and former sports commentator, Jimmy the Greek, have both caught flack for their philosophies on African-American quarterbacks. Jimmy's explanation of how blacks were bred for physical skill but whites were bred for intelligence was blatant racism, but there have been many more subtle ways at insinuating the same point.
Former NFL M.V.P. Steve McNair played for a small Black college because every major college recruited him to play defensive back rather than quarterback, his natural position. Many African-Americans are discouraged from playing quarterback and asked to play other positions in high school, college and the professional ranks. How many other black M.V.P.-caliber quarterbacks were forced to play other positions because coaches didn't feel Blacks made good quarterbacks?
Biological factors do not compel people from certain races to excel in certain sports. Cultural factors do. China produces a lot of good ping-pong players because ping-pong is part of Chinese culture. Kenya produces a lot of marathon winners because long distance running is part of their culture. Jamaica produces sprinters because track and field has become a strong part of their culture and national identity. Baseball has become a big part of Latin American culture and subsequently several of baseball's top players come from Latin America. Basketball is a big part of African-American culture, so a good deal of players in the NBA are African-American.
Sports stereotypes are made to be broken. Athletic basketball players are popping up all over the world from all different backgrounds, from Argentina to Turkey, from Kenya to China. Boxing, once a sport dominated by African -mericans, is now being dominated by boxers of other ethnicities from all around the world. Russians are dominating the heavyweight division, and a Philipino, Manny Pacqiao, will fight an Englishman, Ricky Hatton, for the title of best fighter, pound for pound (at least while Floyd Mayerweather is retired)
While no Black quarterback has won a Superbowl since Doug Williams proved Jimmy the Greek wrong in 1988, two of the last three Superbowl winning coaches have been African-American. This goes even further to disprove Jimmy the Greek's theory, given that African-Americans have excelled at coach, the most cerebral position of all.
Despite all the stereotypes of Black athlete not being intelligent or caring about their education, an African American, Myron Rolle has become the first major U.S. athlete to win the Rhodes Scholarship since Bill Bradley. He bypassed a career in the NFL to get an education from Oxford University, one of the world's most prestigious schools.
Read a Story on Myron Rolle, Rhodes Scholar
When stereotypes begin to insinuate that certain races have certain characteristics, whether they be positive or negative, they fall into the same racist generalizations that are at the root of racism and race-based discrimination.

The 1st private equity firm focused exclusively on the cannabis industry has minted 3 new billionaires.
The 3 men effectively owned about 45% of Privateer's holdings in Tilray as of 31 March, according to the cannabis company's prospectus.
Privateer's stake in Tilray is now valued at $7.2-B, giving each founder a net worth of at least $2.4-B, assuming they hold equal stakes.
Billionaire Peter Thiel is among Privateer's backers.
Tilray had just $20-M in revenue last year and short seller Citron Research called the stock's surge "beyond comprehension" — they would rank among private equity's wealthiest players. They are already richer, at least on paper, than such industry luminaries as Ares Management LP's Tony Ressler and Blackstone Group LP's Jon Gray, according to the Billionaires Index.
Messrs Kennedy, Blue and Groh have known one another for years. Messrs Kennedy and Blue are graduates of Yale School of Management's MBA program. Messrs Kennedy and Groh had worked together at SVB Analytics, an affiliate of Silicon Valley Bank.
