Thanks to regulations and changing trends, financial advisors are walking a tightrope as they seek to adapt and survive.
Fee-based registered financial advisors (RIA) and dually-registered advisors are rapidly pulling away from their commission-based independent representative peers with securities licenses, according to an industry consultant.
There are an estimated 100,000 independent reps and another 20,000 to 30,000 RIAs operating in the independent channel in the U.S. today.
"I would argue this industry is separating right now," said Chip Roame, managing partner of Tiburon Advisors.
"I would say that the RIA portion of this business and the dually-registered portion of this business are booming, doing extraordinary well, assets are going up a lot," he said.
Dually-registered financial advisors are authorized to operate as commission-based independent reps as well as fee-based RIAs.
But the traditional commission-based, broker-dealer business -- saddled with stagnant revenues and the shift in revenue models to favor more fee-based business -- isn't doing well. It may even see negative growth in the future.
"You can do a trade for $5, you don't have to pay $500," said Michael Terrana, a Chicago-based financial advisor recruiter and industry consultant.
While advisors in the independent channel manage only about 60 percent of the assets managed by wirehouse advisors, the annual flows into the independent channel are higher than into wirehouses, Roame said.
Independent reps, RIAs and dually-registered financial advisors are typically the front-line retail advisors consumers run into in the independent channel.
About $3.8 trillion in assets are managed by the independent channel.
Of that $3.8 trillion sum, independent reps manage $800 billion, dually registered financial advisors about $1 trillion and RIAs about $2 trillion.
By comparison, about $7 trillion worth of assets are controlled by the wirehouse channel.
About $160 billion flows into the independent channel annually, however, as approximately 500 to 600 brokers break away from the captive channel and head to the independent channel. Each broker team is bringing with it an average of $230 million, Roame said.
Assets flow into the independent channel from advisor teams and individual advisors leaving captive or employee ecosystems, usually from the big four of the wirehouse channel: Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Wells Fargo and UBS Wealth Management.
Advisors leave for independent broker-dealers or RIAs in search of more freedom and to serve their clients more effectively with a broader range of products.
If the RIA and dually-registered groups are slated to grow in terms of assets under management, they may not see commensurate growth in the number of RIA firms as companies consolidate and merge, Roame said.
The nation's largest RIAs – Fisher Investments, Edelman Financial Services and United Capital Financial Advisors, for example – will grow but the 20,000 other RIA firms aren't expected to grow at nearly the same pace, if at all, Roame said.
Measuring how many advisors operate in the independent channel is tricky and data among different lists and collection efforts are rarely consistent, Roame said.
Counting only front-line advisors who deal with a retail clientele, there are about 90,000 to 100,000 independent reps in addition to about 20,000 to 30,000 fee-based RIAs, Roame estimates.
But because those numbers overlap with about 20,000 who are dually-registered and often double-counted, there are 100,000 independent financial advisors in the U.S., he said.
Compiling an accurate tally of RIAs alone presents its own challenge as RIAs register as firms.
There are 21,488 fee-based financial advisors, of which 11,888 are registered with the Securities & Exchange Commission, and about 9,600 registered with state regulators. Among RIAs, the SEC-registered RIAs manage the lion's share of assets.
Each RIA has an average of 1.7 partners, so estimating 36,000 men and women individually working as registered investment advisors would be a "relatively legitimate," count, he said.

When I was 15 or so I watched a new TV series called Twin Peaks. Oh my goodness, how could a TV series change your life. When you're 15 everything changes your life. A song, a band, a movie - all of it makes you feel alive, makes you feel like you're living life in the world for the first time. No one has seen the world this way before you think.
My mum is here at the moment, helping me with the kids during the school holidays. Goosey was telling Grandma about Bruno Mars and just how amazing he is. She played a song of his to share and then she put on the Beatles and danced with equal gusto. My mum reminisced about the first time she heard the Beatles and how an older neighbour pined about just how terrible they were with their long hair and the racket they played.
Life is the same. But different. The kids listened to my mum tell about being their age and lighting the stove for dinner when she got home from school and walking to the outhouse in the dark and cold. They were horrified! Kids are much different today they said. Not so much, she replied. They still have the same worries and insecurities and fun and moments.
The new Twin Peaks is back on the box and I was so excited. I wanted to pick up where I left off. I wanted to have that feeling I had when I was 15. Except, I'm not 15 anymore. As much as I want to love it, it's darker and heavier and less innocent. There are more distractions. It's not the same. Neither am I.
The past couple of weeks, I've realised that I miss a time when there's no iphones or texts, or social media or streaming or binge watching. When you went out, you went somewhere and hoped you ran into people. You met up and talked. You waited a week to watch a show at a certain time, along with everyone else. News was news, because they didn't have to update endlessly. You waited to hear a song on the radio or you went to a store to buy a CD. Got excited to feel that crisp magazine cover in your hand and couldn't wait to get home to open it. Got excited by the prospect or something. The experience wasn't diminished by reading a review online as you walk in. Life felt more adventurous. When you're alone, you're alone. The moment was far easier to live in. Much less distraction.
I realise that makes me a dinosaur, but I'm OK with that. Actually I feel lucky to know what it's like to live without being ruled by device. To dream about what might be and not worry about what's not important.
I'm the mean mum who (for the moment) won't let my kids have iMessages and the like. But they can have their holidays doing exactly what they're doing and I know that when they see their friends on the first day back at school they'll have that exciting moment where they can swap stories and laughs. And that to me is precious.

Don't Worry, a 17-Story High Rise Isn't Going to Turn Deep Ellum Into Uptown
Brian Peterson
An artist's rendering of the high rise that may or may not ruin everything we love about Deep Ellum.
Brian Peterson | September 2, 2015 | 5:13am
Stephen Ketner has heard this talk before. On Monday morning, Steve Brown at the Dallas Morning News reported plans that Westdale Properties and StreetLights Residential are teaming up to bring a 17-story high-rise to the outskirts of Deep Ellum, and the hand-wringing was almost immediate. This could be the death knell for Deep Ellum, the latest sign of gentrification and greedy developers creeping in to sap the neighborhood of its soul — and right when things were looking up.
But Ketner, a musician with the Stevie James Trio and the Free Loaders who has lived in Deep Ellum since 2008, doesn't share those concerns. "When I first moved in it was pretty dead; there was like one bar open," he says of Deep Ellum. "I like what's happened since, and the apartment complex is far enough away; they're not tearing down Trees." He's not worried about the Uptown crowd moving in and ruining things, either. "Those guys will ride over on their bikes, get a beer and put a dollar in my tip jar," he insists.
Deep Ellum has changed rapidly this year, with the return of The Bomb Factory in March being followed by the arrival of Braindead Brewing in the spring and a slew of other new businesses, particularly bars and restaurants that have opened along Elm Street in the past month. Places like Brick and Bones, Armoury D.E. and On Premise have helped attract much bigger crowds to the area each week, and while many if not most of those new visitors don't match the tattooed artist archetype, they are almost certainly necessary for the neighborhood's continued growth.
50 Signs That Deep Ellum is Killing It Right Now
Let's Stop Glorifying Deep Ellum's Golden Years
Deep Ellum is About to Lose Its 8-Track Museum, the Only One Like It in the World
It hasn't helped that the language of StreetLights CEO Doug Chestnut, as quoted by the DMN, is so patronizingly wary of this kind of backlash. Empty phrases like "neighborhood-friendly urban development" and assurances that the towers — set to be located on Main Street near Baylor Medical Center and called The Case Building — will be "inspired by the architecture and style of Deep Ellum" ring fairly hollow to anyone who's seen this sort of development before. Trust doesn't come easily, especially for the corporate types bringing sizable developments to our neighborhoods.
Bucks Burnett is no hero, but he's not worried about Deep Ellum's impending death by high-rise.
Jason Janik
Then again, it's always a matter of perspective, because the most staunchly anti-gentrification folk among us will be right there in line for shows at the Westdale-owned Bomb Factory, despite the fact that the impact of its revitalization was far from small and did its own damage to the surrounding citizens (even if that impact has overall been positive). Bucks Burnett knows that side firsthand, having had his one-of-a-kind 8-track museum shut down in the wake of rising property values, a shift that also forced other tenants in his building to move.
Yet Burnett has consistently described Westdale as treating him and the others affected with kindness and generosity. "My museum currently sits in a storage unit with an unlikely future," he says. "So as one who actually has the right to complain, I simply won't." Instead, his advice to worried small business owners and residents is to "make friends with the giant" in the neighborhood and embrace the new customers these apartments will likely bring. Adapt or don't, survive or perish.
Frank Campagna, owner of Kettle Art Gallery and a Deep Ellum staple for more than 30 years, echoes Burnett's suggestion, though with a noticeable streak of pessimism. "All you can do is support your local businesses and hope for the best," he says, after expressing his worry that artists will have to move out of the area thanks to property values still on the rise. Burnett is even more pointed: "Deep Ellum is overrated anyway," he contends, admitting that he may pay for the remark later. "A 17-story high-rise isn't intrinsically bad. This is what developers do. You don't have to be a bunch of crybabies about it."
As Burnett points out, the apartments will bring an influx of new potential customers to the area, and everyone from businesses to artists will have the chance to make them regulars. The only way for Deep Ellum to grow, although this idea may be at the root of the disagreement, is through a continuing rotation of cultures and personalities, businesses and residents.
Like every reasonable responder, Ketner realizes this is all out of our hands. "I worry about the city's reaction," he says, expressing the optimistic hope that they will work together with landlords to keep rents from skyrocketing. "They have to realize why the value is going up in the area: It's the musicians, the business owners and the artists that hang out there. That's what people want to be a part of."
The times may be a-changin', but at least in Deep Ellum, it's all pretty predictable. As for Burnett, what's his biggest concern? "We need a gas station around here." Hard to argue with that.

Welcome to the www.tomcave.com website
Tom shows class with outstanding performance on Wales Rally GB
by Tom Cave / Monday, 08 October 2018 / Published in News
After setting four fastest stage times and regularly posting top three times within fractions of a second from that of the factory-supported drivers, Tom Cave's performance on this year's Dayinsure Wales Rally GB underlined his true potential as a front-runner in the international RC2 category of the FIA World Rally Championship.
Having concluded a deal to drive a Philip Case Rally Sport prepared Hyundai i20 R5 and attracting support from a variety of backers a few weeks before the UK's round of the WRC, Tom carried out a short but successful test on the Monday before the event. Even without much seat time under his belt, the 26-year old from Aberdovey and co-driver James Morgan from Hirwaun were matching the pace of the top seeded crews from the word go.
Following a short spectator stage near Rhyl on Thursday evening, they went on to set the second-fastest RC2 time on the first two of Friday's eight stages in the North Wales forests. However, a puncture in SS4 slowed Tom a little and, having used the one and only spare wheel, he was wisely cautious through the morning's remaining pair of stages held in a slate mine where the flint shards on the edges of the road could have easily caused another tyre-related issue.
Having completed the afternoon's three forest stages that were a repeat of the morning's trio, Tom and James pulled into the Deeside service area for the overnight halt fourth in class and impressively, lying 13th overall amongst the works-assisted crews.
The second full day of the rally took teams to Mid and North West Wales for a series of stages that were more familiar to the Welsh pair and, in SS11 – a 20km run through Sweet Lamb and Hafren – they claimed their first RC2 stage win. But then, on the very next stage Dyfi, a slide to the edge of the road on a fast left-hander resulted in getting caught on a tree stump.
With help from a group of spectators they managed to get the car back on the stage, although with over ten minutes lost the chance of a podium finish was now out of the question. Therefore, Tom's strategy changed and instead of targeting a top overall result, he and James would aim to show what they could do by setting as many top stage times as possible. With only minor cosmetic damage to the rear of the Hyundai, the afternoon saw them go on to achieve their quest by setting another two fastest RC2 times before the overnight halt.
The PCRS team made the most of the limited service time available and consequently, returned the car to 100%. Then, on Sunday's opening stage, Tom repaid their efforts by setting the quickest time by a clear three seconds ahead of class leader Kalle Rovanpera in a Skoda. It was an impressive performance, bearing in mind it was only a 10km run!
Another top-three time on the 15km Power Stage followed, but when he and James went to swap the wheels from front-to-back before the circumnavigation of the Great Orme at Llandudno, they noticed oil on and around the sump guard. Taking into account their position in the rally, they decided to retire from the event rather than risk any significant mechanical damage.
Whilst it wasn't the ideal outcome they were hoping for, Tom, James and the rest of the team were extremely satisfied with the way they had represented themselves and their sponsors on the event. Consequently, they came away from the rally in the knowledge that given the opportunity, they can be competitive at international RC2 level.
"It's a strange feeling, as this is the first time I've retired from an event but still feel upbeat about what's just happened", explained Tom. "Yes of course, it would have been great to stand on the podium and receive the accolade a top three position brings with it, but I believe our times showed what we can do, even against the full-time drivers and factory-supported operations.
"For us, this event has represented a great team effort and I really must thank everyone involved: PCRS for providing us with a car that ran perfectly throughout the event, which is a fantastic achievement. Also DMACK for supplying tyres that worked exceptionally well in the conditions and helped us to set the times that we did.
"We could not have entered the rally without the invaluable help of our sponsors: Trailhead Beef Jerky, who not only backed us in order to launch its new snack, but provided all of the event's 2000+ volunteer marshals with a complimentary pack of products. Further support came from DMACK, Intervino, H N Nuttals Foodservice, Humphreys & Foulkes of Newtown, Atech Racing, Walero, Speedline Corse and Cave Equine, to whom we are most grateful.
"I must also thank our supporters and followers, be it at the side of the stage cheering us on or keeping up to date with our progress on social media. We hope you enjoyed watching!"
Tom and his team are currently working on plans for 2019 and hope to make an announcement soon.

Write your resume to highlight your unique skills by writing better job bullets.
You already gave general job duties in your summary of this job, if you needed one. If you didn't need one, your job duties are clear from your job title.
So make sure your bulleted points do not contain any generic job duties.
This section should reveal your accomplishments, not describe your job. So instead concentrate on accomplishments and achievements rather than on your job duties.
You don't want to sound like you accomplished nothing special; you just did your job.
Employers are concerned about one thing—how an employee can contribute to their bottom line. A powerfully written resume conveys how a candidate can be an asset to the company's profits and productivity.
If you worked as a waiter, a common bullet point might be "Took tables' orders." However, this tells your prospective employer nothing other than you were a waiter, and you already said that.
Everyone knows what a waiter does, but what the prospective employer doesn't know is what you did as a waiter, what value you brought to the company.
So delete any of your bullets that are just generic job descriptions.
This is a whole blog by itself. I will link to it when I post it.
You have to prove you are the right candidate for the job, so make a list of all the needed skills for that job: leadership, teamwork, management, self-motivated, willingness to learn, good communicator, good customer service skills, organized, a great critical thinker, etc.
Now, that you have the skills written down, you need to make sure you show them in your job description through short, unique stories.
You learned how to do this in the show don't tell blog, but I will review the concept further here.
Let's say you worked at Burger King. You may think there isn't much to say about your job, but there could be if you were the type of worker people want.
If it is important to be self-motivated and driven in the job you want, then think how you can show that through your Burger King experience.
What did you do to show you are motivated and self-driven?
When I worked at Burger King as a teenager, I had a hard time initially with the drive-through because I couldn't hear people's orders very well through the headset. Also when there was a long line of cars, I would forget orders.
However, I was determined and driven to be just as good at drive-through as I was as the head cashier. So I asked to work drive-through often, and I came up with a system to memorize orders, expedite the food quickly, and understand orders.
I became really fast and efficient at drive-through. This shows I am motivated and driven to succeed.
So for a bullet statement, I could write: Improved in ability to quickly take drive-through orders by requesting to work drive through and creating my own system for success.
Go through each skill you wrote down and ask yourself, How can I show this skill at this job?
If you can think of more than one for that skill, put them both down. If you can't think of one for that skill for this particular job, then move on. You might be able to show that skill in a different job.
Do that for each job and start writing stories for your bullet points.
Take a look at your job descriptions and make sure you have a balance of all the skills you need to highlight.
Next to each bullet point, write down what skill is highlighted: Leadership, management, teamwork, etc.
If you have too many relating to communication skills and not enough related to teamwork, then delete some of them relating to communication and add more bullet points related to teamwork.
The idea is to make sure each skill is represented. That doesn't mean one skill can't have more bullets than the other. It is fine if communication has only two whereas leadership has three.
You just want to make sure each one is given proper attention.
Now that you have showing statements, you want to pick a few of them to add in resulting statements.
Let's take this bullet from a waiter: Resolved potential conflicts, ensuring customer satisfaction without relying on my manager.What was the result from their skilled problem solving, initiative, and hard work?Resolved potential conflicts, ensuring customer satisfaction without relying on my manager resulting in decreased customer complaints.
And this bullet from an engineer: Discovered a way to gather necessary information without time-consuming site visits.What were the results from their problem solving skills?Discovered a way to gather necessary information without time-consuming site visits, thus, allowing for more time in the office improving electrical designs.
Ah both of these employees told some great stories that yielded great results. Now who doesn't want to hire an employee with skills that get results?
Make sure you have only five or less bulleted points for each job. If you have any job with more bullet points than you need, then delete the excess.
To help you decide what to delete, remember to keep a balance of important skills you need to highlight and remember you want to align with the company's values and mission statement and prove you are the right candidate.
So keep only the ones that are the most important in showing the wide range of skills and aligning to the job of your dreams.
If this is hard for you, you could take some of your bullets that you want to keep and add them to the summary before the bulleted list if you have one.
The idea is to show you are the right person for the job by highlighting your unique accomplishments that match the skills the prospective employer is looking for. Compare these two resumes, and see how version two does a better job selling the individual.

Q: Match unicode character in zsh regex I want to make sure that a variable does not contain a specific character (in this case an 'α'), but the following code fails (returns 1):
FOO="test" && [[ $FOO =~ '^[^α]*$' ]]

Edit: Changed the pattern based on feedback from stema below to require matching only "non-'α'" characters from start to end.
Replacing 'α' with e.g. 'x' works as expected. Why does it fail with an 'α', and how can I make this work?
System info:
$ zsh --version
zsh 4.3.11 (i386-apple-darwin11.0)
$ locale
LANG="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_GB.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_GB.UTF-8"

Edit 2: I now tested on a Linux machine running Ubuntu 11.10 with zsh 4.3.11 with identical locale settings, and there it works – i.e. FOO="test" && [[ $FOO =~ '^[^α]*$' ]] returns success. I'm running Mac OS X 10.7.2.

A: with this regex .*[^α].* you can't test that α is not in the string. What this is testing is: Is there ONE character in the string that is not a α.
If you want to check that there is not this character in the string, do this
FOO="test" && [[ $FOO =~ '^[^α]*$' ]]

this will check if the complete string from the start to the end consists of non "α" characters.

A: The simplest way of expressing this is with a negative look-ahead anchored at the start:
^(?!.*α)

This is saying "when looking forward from the start, I shouldn't be able to see α anywhere.
The advantage of using look-heads is they are non-capturing, so you can combine them with other capturing regexes, eg to find groups of numbers in quotes in input that doesn't contain a α, use this: ^(?!.*α)"(\d+)"

A: For some reason I got to similar problem on my build system, while having ZSH version 5.0.2 on my notebook (where Unicode works as expected) and ZSH 4.3.17 on my build system. It seems to me that ZSH 5 does not have the problem with Unicode characters in regular expression patterns.
Specifically, parsing the key/value pair:
[[ "revision/author=Ľudovít Lučenič" =~ '^([^=]+)=(.*)$' ]]
echo "$match[1]:$match[2]"

renders
:                               # ZSH 4.3.17
revision/author:Ľudovít Lučenič # ZSH 5.0.2

Also, I assume some shortcoming with ZSH 4 Unicode support in general.
Update: after some investigation, I have found out that the dot in regexp does not match the letter 'č' in ZSH 4. Once I updated the pattern to:
[[ "revision/author=Ľudovít Lučenič" =~ '^([^=]+)=((.|č)*)$' ]]
echo "$match[1]:$match[2]"

I am getting the same result in both ZSH versions. I do not know, though, why exactly this letter is the problem here. However, it may help somebody to work this shortcoming around.

This isn't my childhood home. Some people are used to moving and while we did when I was young, I spent 27 years with my parents in one house. We built it. My brother was on the construction team. I watched it grow from a hill to a home. I remember the day my parents drove us out to the property to show us where we would live.
We filled that house with … a lot. Some of it beautiful. It welcomed home my parent's first two grandchildren. It heard laughter and joy. Some of it devastating and painful and almost tore us apart. Those are not my stories to tell.
It sits empty now. Age caught up to my parents even though they'd successfully held it back for years by raising their eldest grandchild. Less space, less stairs, less… was needed.
Empty. Filled with the remnants of my past and my parent's history. It's like a morgue for a couple still alive. It sits echoing the sounds of the past and whispering to itself the stories it's walls have witnessed. My home sits like a ship lost at sea on the floor of the murky seabed mourning and waiting.
Tonight we rest in my parent's new home. It is not my home. For me it feels like going to a grandparents retirement home where things are slightly familiar, but they only touch on the past like an old grey haired woman who can't quite remember which of her children is which. There are faint traces of the familiar in pieces of furniture and photographs. This house is sterile and infantile. It hiccups and stalls as it tries to bring forth the feelings of comfort. But it can't quite get the feelings to muster.
Some people say both are just houses built with wood and screws.
But for an adopted girl with trauma and abandonment issues, one has been my refuge and the other is a cold prison cell. I haven't been to the old house in months. If I go, I know I'll break open. So I come here and play pretend. I pretend it's ok. I pretend this feels like home. I pretend I'm not loosing the safest place on earth for me. To some homes are just buildings, but to others they are a history book. One that holds the secrets and the answers to life's questions but only gives them up fickly if under the influence of honest love.

Far-right leader Martin Sellner refuses to let Tarrant donation go to anti-racism charity

Far-right leader Martin Sellner is refusing to let a donation to the Mosque attack victims go to an anti-racism charity.
Sellner has taken back money that originally came from the alleged gunman, claiming that if Victim Support passed it to an anti-racism cause it could end up funding "left-wing terrorism".

Victim Support contacts far-right leader Martin Sellner to reimburse donation
Martin Sellner: A history of 'non-violent' violence
Victim Support spurned the donation after Newshub revealed Sellner had given them money he got from alleged Christchurch gunman Brenton Tarrant.
In an email to Sellner, which the far-right leader has tweeted, Victim Support said: "We believe the victims will not feel comfortable receiving funds linked to the alleged gunman who has inflicted so much pain on them and their community."
Victim Support then said if it didn't hear back from Sellner by 9am on Friday, the organisation would give the money to an "anti-racism charity".
But Sellner won't let that happen, taking the money back and telling Newshub he didn't want it ending up in the hands of a "political organisation".
He said he was concerned that Victim Support may give the money to a charity "linked to left wing terrorism".
In an email to Victim Support, Sellner said he wants to "keep control of the money and prevent it going to an organisation that is working together with left-wing terrorists like antifa".
"Antifa" - a contraction of the word anti-facist - is a term for radical activists that oppose white supremacists and far-right activists, often with violence.
Sellner said in his email that he was "very sorry" that Victim Support didn't want the donation.
"I think it would be a good sign against terrorism and political violence from every ideology and religion. Even though we might not agree in our political views or religious beliefs, we can all agree that violence and terror needs to be fought, shunned and prevented".
Despite asserting he is a peaceful person, Sellner's identitarian group Generation Identity is often accused of engaging in violent tactics to preserve "European purity" and supporting facist violence.
Sellner refused to tell Newshub what charity he will now give the money to as he is "afraid the same thing will happen again and I don't want that".

Bacterial Inhibitory Effects of Potassium Sorbate and Retardation of Spoilage of Oysters (CRASSOSTREA GASAR) At Two Storage Temperatures
B. J. O. Efiuvwevwere, G. Izakpa
KEYWORDS: Oysters, microqial inhibition, sorbate, temperature
Shucked oysters (Crassostrea gasar) treated with 0.1 % or 0.2% w/v potassium sorbate (KS) or untreated (controls) were stored at 5°C or 29°C to evaluate microbial changes and shelf-life. Appreciable variations were observed in the microbial composition, with a Gram-positive to Gram-negative flora ratio of 51 :46 occurring in freshly shucked samples. But contrasting ratios of 22:78 and 80:20 occurred in 0.2% KS1 treated samples stored at 5°C and 29°C respectively. Pseudomonas spp. {65%) were most prominent in samples stored at 5°C while Gram positive flora (Bacillus spp, 40% and Micrococcus spp. 25%) dominated samples held at 29°C. Of the fungi, Saccharomyces cerevisiae was most prevalent. in the samples regardless of KS treatment and storage temperature. Total_ plate counts {TPCs) were reduced by approximately 100-fold in 0.2% KS-treated samples stored at 5°C but KS treatment was less effective in samples held at 29°C. The quality indicators (TPCs, coliform bacteria and Vibrio spp, population) increased substantially with storage at 29°C. Correlations between total and faecal coliforms or between the latter and Vibrio spp. were dependent on KS treatment and storage temperature. pH decreased in all samples especially in cor1trols. Samples stored at 29°C were rejected within 36h of storage but combination of 0.2% KS treatment with storage at 5°C extended the shelf-life by approximately 4 days. The preponderance of Bacillus spp., ,Staphylococcus spp. and Vibrio spp. with the concomitant high TPCs in samples stored at 29°C have demonstrated the public health risks associated with shucked oysters subjected to inadequate-KS treatment and storage temperature.

Genital cutting not tied to childbirth complication
Mar 12, 2010 Viewed: 1400
The practice of female genital cutting may not raise the risk of a severe childbirth complication common in the developing world, a new study suggests.
The study, of nearly 500 Ethiopian women, found no clear relationship between female genital cutting and the development of obstetric fistula - where a prolonged, difficult labor causes a hole to form between the uterus and bladder or, less often, the rectum.
It is estimated that more than 130 million women worldwide have undergone female genital cutting, also known as female "circumcision."
The centuries-old practice, which involves removing part or all of a girl's clitoris and labia, and sometimes narrowing the vaginal opening, remains a common practice in some countries, mainly in sub-Saharan Africa.
Studies in Africa have found that women who underwent genital cutting as girls have higher risks of certain childbirth complications, including stillbirth and severe vaginal tears. Similarly, some European studies of African immigrants have linked genital cutting to higher risks of vaginal tearing and emergency C-section.
But it has been unclear whether genital cutting raises the risk of obstetric fistula.
Obstetric fistula is now almost unheard of in wealthier countries, but it remains a serious problem in parts of the world with little access to emergency obstetric care. In these countries, women with obstructed labor can remain in labor for days, usually ending in a stillbirth.
Those who suffer fistulas are left with chronic incontinence; some are then abandoned by their families and ostracized by their communities.
The thinking has been that, if female genital cutting contributes to obstetric fistulas, then eradicating the practice will help prevent some cases of the childbirth complication.
But the current findings suggest that this would not be the case, according to the researchers, led by Andrew Browning of the Barhirdar Hamlin Fistula Centre in Ethiopia.
"Although the eradication of female genital cutting is desirable from the standpoints of both women's health and human rights," the researchers write in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology, "the elimination of these traditional genital operations will not eliminate the obstetric fistula as a complication of childbirth."
The findings are based on 492 women who underwent surgery to correct obstetric fistula at the Barhirdar center; 255 women had undergone genital cutting, while 237 had not.
Overall, Browning and his colleagues report, there were no differences between the two groups of women as far as the location or severity of the fistulas. They also had similar success with surgical repair; the fistula was closed in nearly all women in both groups.
Women with genital cutting did have slightly longer labors - 3.1 days, on average, versus 2.8 days among the other women.
However, the researchers note, a look at the patients' geographical locations suggested that the longer labor was attributable to their living in more-remote areas, farther from medical help.
Indeed, Browning's team writes, rather than being a cause of obstetric fistula, genital cutting may be a marker of other factors that raise a woman's risk of complications. Those factors include greater poverty, poor infrastructure, earlier marriage (young girls are at greater risk of obstructed labor) and little personal freedom for women.
The elimination of obstetric fistula, the researchers conclude, "will require the presence of a trained attendant during every labor and timely, universal access to competent emergency obstetric services worldwide."

That's not fare!
Michael Olney
Wednesday, 4th September, 2019 4:59pm
Commuters in East Cork are struggling to afford increasing bus fares in the region.
People living in East Cork are paying extortionate amounts of money in bus fares when commuting to the city.
That's according to Fianna Fáil Cllr for East Cork, James O'Connor, who has called upon Bus Éireann and the National Transport Authority (NTA) to immediately launch a review into what he describes as "unsustainably high fares".
"Fares need to be decreased in a major way because they're extraordinarily expensive for the relative distance that you're traveling," said Cllr O'Connor.
He added: "Bus Éireann is saying that they have no control over the prices, which is something I don't accept. They're blaming the NTA for the fact that the prices are so high in East Cork."
Currently an adult return fare from Youghal to Cork costs €19, a journey of 48km. Meanwhile an adult return ticket from Cork city to Dungarvan, a journey of 75km, costs €9.50.
Cllr O'Connor said that these fares are completely unjustified and that they are a "major deterrent" to commuters taking an environmentally friendly option to travel to Cork city.
He also pointed out that the growing traffic issues in the East Cork region could be greatly reduced through improved public transport.
Cllr O'Connor said: "Youghal is at a huge disadvantage due to congestion and it just shows how important it is that we increase capacity on bus services and make them affordable.
"There's a lot of people out there who can't afford a car and need to use the bus, but a ten-day ticket is the price of a tank of diesel for a two litre car to go up and down to Cork for a week, so there's no saving in it."
Cllr O'Connor also expressed concern regarding a projected growth in population in Ireland and in Cork.
"We're going to have about five million people living in Ireland next year, and Cork is going to see huge increases. But there's no extra mile of road being built between here and Cork city to cater for that. So my question is, what are we doing about it? And the answer is nothing."
In a statement issued to the Cork Independent, Bus Éireann said: "Our Expressway services are wholly commercial services and receive no State funding.
"From time to time, we offer seat sales and promotions on certain routes and on certain segments of routes. Currently we are offering a promotion on our Expressway Route 40 (Rosslare Harbour - Waterford - Cork - Killarney - Kerry Airport - Tralee and return) service."


The Inedo User Conference is a two-day event that's focused on the automation journey for enterprises. There will be two tracks (technical and cultural/organizational) filled with talks by the Inedo community about continuous delivery, infrastructure automation, and packaging. We'll also have a day with hands-on workshops, where you can learn from Inedo engineers and trainers.
Every organization is different, as is their automation journey.
Sharing your successes and challenges in automation will not only benefit the Inedo user community, but it's a great opportunity to demonstrate your accomplishments to your own organization and, ultimately the value in continuing on your own automation journey.
Here's some topics we think would go over great with the user community.
Overcoming Windows Automation Challenges; Windows is really easy to configure, but not so easy to automate; how did you overcome these challenges in your automation?


This month, I have added a couple of new queries for SQL Server 2016, including one that uses QueryStore. This version will continue to be improved with more SQL Server 2016-specific queries and columns in existing queries over the next few months.
Since SQL Server 2008 R2 and older are out of Mainstream support from Microsoft (and because fewer of my customers are using these old versions of SQL Server), I am not going to be updating the scripts for these older versions of SQL Server every single month going forward. I started this policy three months ago, and so far, I have not heard any complaints.
Rather than having a separate blog post for each version, I have just put the links for all five major versions in this single post. There are two separate links for each version. The first one on the top left is the actual diagnostic query script, and the one below on the right is the matching blank results spreadsheet, with labeled tabs.
Could the collation_name be added to query 26, please?
Thanks for these queries, absolutely invaluable!
Glad you like the queries. Which version of the queries do you mean when you mention Query #26 ? In other words, the SQL 2012, 2014, etc. version.
Glenn, these scripts are just plain AWESOME. I don't know how to describe it any other way!

EVP Experiments: Upping the ante for evidence
Written on March 28, 2012, 12:55:37 PM by Brian Parsons
Audio recording technology has come a long way since I started out in 1996. My first recorder was a small radio sized recorder (sometimes called a shoebox recorder) that used regular cassette tapes. One tape could record 30 or 45 minutes per side with two sides, but the rule was to not record on both sides as "bleeding" of voices or noises could potentially occur. The tapes produced their own white noise in the form of a mild hiss along with any mechanical sounds of the recorder which were usually recorded unless a separate microphone was used and the recorder hidden. One learned quickly how to lubricate the device to keep these noises to a minimum or buy an external microphone. Working a case would usually mean buying a handful of tapes, although I...
Have we captured ghosts on film?

On September 19, 1936, two photographers were finishing up a series of photos for a magazine when one of them suddenly saw a transparent figure coming down a set of stairs in front of them. Captain Provand, upon the request from his partner Mr. Indre Shira, hurriedly prepared the camera and took a photograph that would become the most recognizable ghost photograph in history and would legitimize the possibility of ghosts through this one still shot – or would it? While this famous photograph taken at Raynham Hall of the ghost of the "Brown Lady" is thought to be the best "real deal" photograph ever, there is a little history missing from its backstory that reveals...
Mansfield Reformatory Investigation: April 11, 2010
Written on May 14, 2010, 03:55:24 PM by Brian Parsons
I was very fortunate to be invited to share a night at the Mansfield Reformatory in Mansfield, Ohio with a group out of Columbus that I had talked to for a number of months. The investigation would be with 15 or less people and he only had room for four of our investigators. We had tested our equipment during prior investigations and again prior to being at the Reformatory, but ultimately we encountered issues with a few of our infra red cameras. We spent a lot of time messing with cables and other issues while the other group made its way around the facility. By 11 P.M. we decided to just go with three IR cameras and set up a few other mini DVD cameras in spots we wanted to cover.
I put together a video that discusses some of the history behind the location, so I will not discuss it here. As far as the paranormal history it is vast, not to mention the Number of Comments: 0 Continue Reading Article
"Noise Independent Vs Noise Dependent" in EVP Recording
Written on April 18, 2010, 04:25:59 AM by Ingrid Irwin
As many might know, I am a not a fan of "Noise Dependent'' recording techniques for EVP research. Methods that use 'noise' for EVP recording have been used for decades, with the line of thought that noise is needed for voice formation. This requires that any sort of random or chaotic noise is employed in recording sessions. The "Noise Dependent" methods raises the percentage of misidentication to a very high degree.
The method of 'Noise Independent' recording techniques means NO external noise is added to a recording session. The quiet room or controlled environment recording is difficult, time consuming, and arduous, so may be a deciding factor in why people steer away from it in the field.
Farnam Manor Investigation: I
Written on April 01, 2010, 12:49:44 PM by Brian Parsons
We conducted our first formal investigation of Farnam Manor in Richfield, Ohio on March 6, 2010. Our hopes were high as we had collected some great EVPs while just touring the building a couple of weeks prior. We had collected numerous personal stories from the owners, Tim and Kathy, and were excited to investigate this inviting old building in detail. Our focus was also to collect investigation evidence for our presentation at the Farnam Manor Spirit Tour, which was a fundraiser for the Farnam Foundation to help raise some money and awareness for this historical building.
The investigation began slowly as we had to wait for the owners to get us into the building as they had thought we would be there on a different day. We ended up conducting our team meeting in our Equipment Manager's truck...

Transfer of case on restructuring of dept. would be valid even if hearing chance isn't given to assessee
a) The assessee was intimated that jurisdiction of the assessee's case pending with the Income tax department had been transferred from Rourkella to Sambalpur.
b) Assessee challenged orders before the High Court on the ground that his jurisdiction was changed without providing an opportunity of being heard and without assigning any reason. High Court held in favour of revenue as under:
1) There is no denial of the fact that if any decision is taken, which is detrimental to the interest of the parties, a notice is required to be given on the principle that no man can be condemned without hearing him.
2) The underlying motive is to provide an opportunity to know the reasons behind taking the decision of transfer.
3) Restructuring of the department was done for equitable distribution of work and, as such, the order passed by the authorities was for administrative convenience.
4) In the given case, even if the assessee would have been provided an opportunity of being heard before taking the decision, no material change would have come.
5) Further, it was not that the case of the assessee herein had only been transferred but the cases of other assessees had also been transferred.
6) Therefore, transfer of case on restructuring of department would be valid even if hearing chance wasn't given to assessee - [2017] 77 taxmann.com 321 (Orissa)
No sec. 43B disallowance on tenant due to non-payment of service-tax on rental payment
a) Assessee-company was running trading business from rented premises and it was paying gross rent (inclusive of service tax) to the landlord.
b) Assessing officer (AO) allowed assessee's claim of payment of rent as deduction. Later on, commissioner passed revisional order to invoke section 43B disallowance as there was default in payment of service tax portion on rental payments.
c) Aggrieved-assessee filed instant appeal before Tribunal.
Tribunal held in favour of assessee as under:
1) Liability to pay the service tax component to landlord was a contractual obligation between the assessee and landlord, whereas to remit the same to the government was a statutory on the part of the landlord.
2) It was the statutory liability of the landlord to pay the service tax to the state. The liability between the assessee (being tenant) and landlord was only a contractual liability for which section 43B would not be application at all.
3) Hence, if section 43B had to be invoked, it had to be invoked only against the landlord, and the non-payment of such component of service tax to the landlord by the assessee was immune from the operation of section 43B. - [2017] 77 taxmann.com 324 (Kolkata - Trib.)
Rs. 31 lakhs incurred by Parthiv Patel is deductible if it has nexus with his cricketing income: ITAT
a) Parthiv Patel claimed various expenses under the head business development, office, salary, office rent, other interests, petrol expenses, etc., against income earned from playing cricket.
b) Assessing Officer (AO) declined above expenditure on the ground that since assessee had been deriving match fee and retainerships from various cricket bodies, such expenditure was not attributable to his business or profession.
c) AO was of the view that playing cricket is not akin to a trading or manufacturing or any service activity. Thus, he concluded that such expenditure was not attributable to any business or profession so as to be termed as business expenditure.
1) Neither AO nor Commissioner (Appeals) had sought to establish a direct nexus between assessees professional income from playing cricket along with his expenditure in question claimed u/s 37 of the Act.
2) The learned CIT(A) has merely drawn his conclusions qua genuineness aspect instead of establishing the above stated nexus between each head of expenditure vis-à-vis assessee's taxable income.
3) The issue related to disallowance of expenses requires AO's re-adjudication in accordance with law a􀁺er a􀁹ording adequate opportunity of hearing to the assessee so as to prove the direct nexus with income earned.
4) Therefore, expenses incurred by assessee is deductible against cricketing income if it has nexus with such income. - [2017] 78 taxmann.com 4 (Ahmedabad - Trib.)
Fee for Delayed Filing of Return
Income Tax Act, 1961 specifies different due dates for furnishing of return of income by various assessees.

Compensation paid for using pirated so􀁺ware isn't in nature of penalty; allowable as business exp
a) Assessee was using pirated version of Microsoft software. This resulted in violation of Copyright Act and loss of business of Microsoft Corporation. Microsoft filed civil suit against assessee.
b) The suit was settled in lieu of payment of compensation to Microsoft Corporation and assessee debited the compensation amount as business expenditure.
c) Assessing Officer (AO) rejected such claim stating that expenditure was incurred in violation of Copyright Act thus, explanation to section 37(1) would be attracted.
d) The Commissioner (Appeals) affirmed the order of the AO. Aggrieved-assessee filed instant appeal before Tribunal.
1) Use of pirated software by the assessee which is the property of Microsoft Corporation admittedly, resulted in loss of business of Microsoft Corporation.
2) There was compromise entered into between the parties for payment of compensation for loss of business and also covering the cost of litigation.
3) The question which arises before the Tribunal was whether the payment made pursuant to the said compromise was for infraction of law or whether it was wholly and exclusively incurred for the purpose of business.
4) The amount which had been agreed to be paid to Microsoft Corporation was on account of contractual liability and was not the case of payment of any penalty.
5) Payment of penalty could not arise when there was an understanding between two private parties. As far as payment which is prohibited by law is concerned, then the same refers to speed money, hafta money, etc., but the same is not to be applied in cases where one party agreed to compensate the other party for loss of its business
6) Since, impugned amount paid to Microsoft was not penalty but it was on account of contractual liability, same would be allowed as business expenditure. [2017] 77 taxmann.com 284 (Pune - Trib.)
Sachin Tendulkar gets favourable ruling from ITAT in capital gain tax case
a) During the course of assessment proceedings it was noted by the AO that the Sachin Tendulkar (assessee) had shown capital gains in its return of income.
b) It was noted by AO that Sachin had engaged the services of Portfolio Managers to carry out the transactions of the sale-purchase of shares for which huge amount of PMS charges of Rs.52 lacs were paid. According to the AO, it was not an ordinary thing for a normal investor.
c) Thus, AO issued show cause notice to the Sachin asking him to explain as to why profits on sale of shares/unit should not be treated as 'business income' as against the 'capital gains' as claimed by the Sachin in the return of income.
d) The AO treated such gains as business income. However, the CIT(A) reversed order of AO. The aggrieved-revenue filed the instant appeal before the Tribunal.
The Tribunal held as under:
1. The assessee had always disclosed amounts invested in shares under the head investments. Moreover, in view of CBDT Circular No. 6 of 2016 dated 29-2-2016 and Circular No.4 of 2007 dated 15-6-2007, the initial choice of characterization of share portfolio as investment or stock in trade was with assessee and the assessee had exercised its choice and kept the same as part of investments.
2. The Assessing Officer did not have liberty under the law to thrust his opinion upon the assessee, so long as the assessee followed his choice on consistent basis. Thus, income on sale of shares and mutual funds was to be taxable under head capital gains and not business income. - [2017] 77 taxmann.com 305 (Mumbai - Trib.)
Investment can be made out of advance received under sale agreement for sec. 54EC relief
1) The assessee entered into an agreement to sell a property on 21-2-2006. The final sale took place under a sale deed dated 5-4-2007. The assessee had invested an amount of Rs. 50 lakhs from the advance received under the agreement to sale in the Rural Electrification Corporation Ltd. bonds on 2-2-2007.
2) The Assessing Officer as well as the Commissioner (Appeals) held that the assessee was not entitled to the benefit of section 54EC as the amount was invested in the bonds prior to the sale of the subject property on 5-4-2007.
3) The Tribunal, however, held that even when an assessee made investment in bonds as required under section 54EC on receipt of advance as per the agreement to sell, still it was entitled to claim the benefit of section 54EC.
The High Court held as under:
a) The sale deed dated 5-4-2007 records the fact that the agreement to sale had been entered into on 21-2-2006 in respect of the subject property and the amount being received by the assesse under that agreement to sale. Thus, these amounts when received as advance under an agreement to sale of a capital asset, is invested in specified bonds, the benefit of section 54EC is available.
b) The impugned order passed by the Tribunal does not give rise to any substantial question of law. Hence, exemption couldn't be denied to assessee - [2017] 77 taxmann.com 226 (Bombay)
Only capital gains will arise on sale of unlisted shares by certain AIFs: CBDT
SEBI has categorized alternative investment funds into 3 categories, viz., Category I AIF, Category II AIF and Category III AIF, which cover Venture Capital Fund/Venture Capital Company, Private equity funds, Debts funds, etc.
CBDT vide order dated 02.05.2016 in F.No. 225/12/2016/ITA.II had issued order in which it has been directed that the income arising from transfer of unlisted shares would be taxable under the head 'Capital Gain', irrespective of period of holding, with a view to avoid disputes/litigation on characterization of income from sale of unlisted shares However, the said order provided exception in those case where transfer of unlisted shares is made along with the control and management of underlying business of AIFs. In this case, Assessing Officer (AO) has given power to take appropriate view to tax transfer of unlisted shares.
Now CBDT has issue direction to remove such exception primarily for SEBI registered Category I & II AIFs. Therefore, sale of unlisted shares by SEBI registered Category I & II AIFs shall only be subject to capital gain tax without any exception.
Payment made for administrative services couldn't be held as 'FTS' under India-UK treaty
a) The appellant, UK based company, was awarded a contract by IOCL for rendering construction support services, procurement services and engineering design services in connection with a refinery located in India.
b) It availed of various support services such as account receivable, human resources, and payroll management, tax support and administrative support, etc., from its sister concern FWEL.
c) Department took the stand that the payments for FWEL services were in the nature of fees for technical services (FTS) by relying on invoices issued to FWEL which describe the category of services as 'consulting engineering services'.
d) Department further pointed out that it was admitted by the applicant that the persons whose names appear in the time-sheets was in fact engineers which further buttresses the department's stand that the services rendered were in the nature of engineering services which would be technical in nature satisfying the 'make available' clause of the India-UK DTAA.
e) Aggrieved by the order of AO, applicant raised this issue before the Authority for Advance Rulings (AAR).
Authority for Advance Rulings held in favour of applicant as under:-
1) Affidavit given by the applicant clarified that the reference to time spent by engineers in the sample invoice were its own engineers deputed in India Project Office and not any engineers of FWEL, and hence no engineering services were rendered by FWEL.
2) Mere mention of 'engineering services' on the invoice cannot satisfy 'make available' clause.
3) Services rendered by third parties and FWEL were administrative support services rendered from abroad and were in the nature of 'managerial services'. Such services did not make available any technical skill, information or knowledge to the employees of applicant deputed in the India Project Office.[2017] 77 taxmann.com 205 (AAR - New Delhi)

Q: How to avoid ecto logs inside iex? I have a worker which creates database queries, like that:
defmodule MyApp.Periodically do
  use GenServer

  def start_link do
    GenServer.start_link(__MODULE__, %{})
  end

  def init(state) do
    schedule_work() # Schedule work to be performed at some point
    {:ok, state}
  end

  def handle_info(:work, state) do
    # big amount of ecto stuff
    schedule_work() # Reschedule once more
    {:noreply, state}
  end

  defp schedule_work() do
    Process.send_after(self(), :work, 2 * 60 * 60 * 1000) # In 2 hours
  end
end

Everything is fine except one thing. When I'm opening iex -S mix I receive a lot of ecto debug messages into my shell, like:
01:58:10.921 [debug] QUERY OK db=7.8ms decode=0.2ms
SELECT r0."id", r0."description", r0."property_type", r0."beds", r0."baths", r0."square", r0."price", r0."availability", r0."state", r0."country", r0."city", r0."address", r0."zipcode", r0."full_address", r0."external_provider_url", r0."location", r0."visits_count", r0."likes_count", r0."comments_count", r0."deleted_at", r0."credits", r0."somehere", r0."zis", r0."thumbnail_type", r0."video", r0."review_thumbnail", r0."user_id", r0."inserted_at", r0."updated_at" FROM "reviews" AS r0 WHERE (r0."zis" IS NULL AND r0."somehere" IS NULL) ORDER BY r0."id" LIMIT 1 []

How can I avoid that?

A: You can either change your log level (in iex):
Logger.configure(level: :info)

Or in your config:
config :logger, level: :info

You can disable Ecto's logs entirely with:
config :my_app, MyApp.Repo,
  loggers: []

As described in https://hexdocs.pm/ecto/Ecto.Repo.html

Watch '70s Funk-Style Covers of Cyndi Lauper, Dave Matthews, and Willy Wonka
Posted by Ray Padgett at 4:15 pm Add comments
You probably haven't heard of California funk duo Scary Pockets. We hadn't either, until stumbling upon their amazing sax-jazz cover of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory highlight "Pure Imagination." But we should have. Turns out their keyboard player, Jack Conte, was half of one of YouTube's first viral covers groups: Pomplamoose. (Conte also founded popular crowdfunding platform Patreon – needless to say, Scary Pockets has a page).
That's the resume, but what hooked me before I discovered any of that were their new cover videos. Like a '70s funk version of Postmodern Jukebox, Conte and his guitarist partner Ryan Lerman bring in guest singers for vintage soul takes on pop hits across the genre map. Start where I did, with a smooth jazz take on "Pure Imagination" featuring saxophonist Sam Gendel.
More typical – the covers are rarely instrumental – is this killer version of Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" with singer India Carney. The incredibly tight band plays it like a classic Stevie Wonder joint (though Stevie would have played all the instruments himself).
There are dozens more on their YouTube page, but I'll end with one of the biggest surprises of all, their cover of "Crash Into Me" with Julia Nunes. It's so good I'm going to write a sentence I never thought I would say: I think I like this Dave Matthews song.
We've written about Conte's earlier band Pomplamoose plenty over the years. Check out their best covers here.
Cover Me is now on Patreon! If you love cover songs, we hope you will consider supporting us there with a small monthly subscription. There are a bunch of exclusive perks only for patrons: playlists, newsletters, downloads, discussions, polls - hell, tell us what song you would like to hear covered and we will make it happen.

The damaging March 11, 2011 Tohoku earthquake caused significant tsunami waves that were recorded on videos by eyewitnesses. Two survivor videos from building rooftops at Kesennuma Bay were combined after the catastrophe and compared with on site terrestrial laser scans, using ground-based LiDAR. The LiDAR point clouds were used to place the video data into terrestrial reference frame coordinates. Analysis led to an estimate of a maximum tsunami height of 9 meters between the buildings followed by maximum tsunami outflow currents of 11 meters per second within 10 minutes of the tsunami reaching its maximum local height. Inside the navigation channel the outflow was faster than the inflow measurements highlighting the dangers of the receding wave.
A great moment magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck off the coast of Japan on March 11, 2011. It was one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded and caused significant shaking and damage. The earthquake produced a series of massive tsunami waves that were concentrated along low lying coastal plains in the Myagi, Iwate, and Fukushima prefectures. The 2011 tsunami reached maximum measured runup heights of about 40 meters at several locations to the north of Kesennuma Bay along the Sanriku coast between Ofunato and Miyako.
Two surveys were conducted at Kesennuma in April and June of 2011. The initial rapid survey focused on perishable tsunami high-water marks such as runup height, flow depth, inundation distance, deposition or erosion, structural damage and interviews with eyewitnesses using established protocols. Watermarks of maximum local runup were surveyed using GPS and a laser range finder referenced to the geodetic network of the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan. The second survey in June involved terrestrial laser scanning (TLS; also called ground-based Light Detection and Ranging [LiDAR]) at 3 sites in Kesennuma: the Japanese Coast Guard (JCG) building, the fish market vertical evacuation platform (Miyagi Prefecture building - MP) and a downtown street viewed from the evacuation platform. The TLS was augmented with digital photography to add true color to the point cloud images and integrated with GPS measurements to reference the thousands of points with the International Terrestrial Reference Frame.
The TLS images with photographic true color show the two buildings in the aftermath (Figure 2b) and flooded with the maximum water level from the tsunami waves (Figure 2c). The TLS images provide exquisite and accurate fully three-dimensional recordings of the tsunami aftermath and topography as can be seen in comparison to photographs (Figures 2d and e). The TLS images have a huge advantage of being spatially referenced to the three-dimensional Earth so that not only the local tsunami wave height, but the tsunami surface current and flooding velocity can be determined using the rectified eyewitness videos.
Video analysis shows an initial drawdown of the water level in the bay by about 3 meters followed by 12 minutes of flooding at an average rate of 1 meter per minute. The tsunami wave reached its maximum local height of 9 meters after the 12 minutes of inflow. Interestingly, the surface water currents are close to zero (i.e., essentially stagnant water) at the maximum wave height as the flow reverses from inflow to outflow. Then the tsunami wave flows back out into the sea with great force and it takes 7 minutes for the maximum wave height to drop down to the level of the seawall (about 2 meters). The maximum outflow current of about 11 meters per second occurred about 10 minutes after the tsunami wave reached its crest and the current outflow inside the navigation channel jumped from 3 meters per second to 11 meters per second in about 2 minutes. The rapid outflow and quick jump to high current flow highlights the significant danger and destruction caused by the debris laden outflowing wave; a factor that should not be overlooked when considering preparedness and response to tsunami hazards.

Biden Delays Decision on China Tariffs Put in Place by Trump
Date: Thursday, September 8, 2022
President Joe Biden is holding back on a decision to scrap any Trump-era tariffs on China imports, while the administration studies ways to help businesses seeking relief, according to people familiar with the matter.
Biden earlier in the summer had signed off on a new exclusion process for exemptions from tariffs on manufacturing materials imported from China, but has delayed making a final decision for now, three of the people said.
The Office of the US Trade Representative announced a tariff review last Friday that will allow businesses the opportunity to seek relief by weighing in on whether they think any particular tariff is costing US jobs or competitiveness, one administration official said.
The people spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss evolving policy.
The White House declined to comment on Wednesday night. When asked about the report, the spokeswoman for China's Ministry of Commerce repeated previous statements that US tariffs on Chinese goods were detrimental to both nations' economies.
While the tariffs on Chinese goods are a holdover from former President Donald Trump's aggressive actions against Beijing, the Biden administration has kept them in place as a kind of leverage against what the US sees as its key strategic and economic rival.
Any decision before the US midterm elections in November poses domestic and international risks to Biden and fellow Democrats, with little upside expected in a move that may be seen benefiting China and its president, Xi Jinping.
The considerations unfold amid tensions with Beijing, including military pressure on Taiwan, an October leadership congress in China in which Xi is expected to solidify his power, and difficult negotiations over a proposed Biden and Xi meeting this fall. Both leaders are scheduled to attend the Group of 20 summit in Bali, Indonesia, in November.
The duties, which began piling up in 2018, span imports from industrial inputs, such as microchips and chemicals, to consumer merchandise including apparel and furniture. Administration officials earlier this year had considered lifting some tariffs as way to ease inflation, but there was no consensus on how effective that move would be.

Depends on what he's really wanting, those two sites you mentioned seemed to be of the "viral video" and You-Tube-type variety, meaning not any actual tv. I'm not really sure you'll be able to find any truly tv-type websites due to DMCA crap and all that. I'll keep on Googling for you though, heck I'd like this type of thing myself.
Hulu is awesome! I also check CBS.com for some shows that aren't on Hulu. Hulu is a Fox and NBC-Universal run service, so the content is limited to shows they either air or own. Some great old classic shows too!
I'll be back here shortly, I'm testing out a couple of apps for this.
Here ya go, try this for starters: http://www.tvunetworks.com/ Good amount of cable stations (CBS, Sci-Fi, etc), satellite and such. Completely free too I checked the files at install, perfectly safe.
That's weird, I thought I had went to this place and it didn't work right. Now it's fine and you're right, a boatload of stuff.
Not sure about the Vista issues to be honest. The thing with TVU is the channels change every so often. The person streaming the channel will get found out, they'll lay low for a bit or put a different channel up, then the channel that got taken off will come back. HBO and such, I don't recall and the network seems to be having issues so I can't log in at the moment. I will find out though.
As far as speed, I'm not too sure your speed will work well (I'm on 10mbps cable btw, not sure how cellular broadband differs in speed measurement).
