What does it mean to be an Accredited Investor (AI)?
Below are some benefits and consequences of being an Accredited Investor (AI) client:
An AI generally has access to a wider range of financial products and services.
AIs are assumed to be better informed, and better able to access resources to protect their own interests, and therefore require less regulatory protection.
Investors who agree to be treated as AIs therefore forgo the benefit of certain regulatory safeguards. For example, issuers of securities are exempted from issuing a full prospectus registered with the Monetary Authority of Singapore in respect of offers that are made only to AIs, and intermediaries are exempted from several business conduct requirements when dealing with AIs.
Investors should consult a professional adviser if they do not understand any consequence of being treated as an AI.
For details on the relevant regulatory requirements which we will be exempted from when serving you as an AI, please refer to here.
What does it mean to be a non-AI?
Generally, a non-AI has access to a limited range of financial products and services as compared to those available to an AI.
There may be limitations on the new investment products that we may offer to you. However, we shall continue to provide services to you for your existing investments.
Can I elect to have a different status for each of my accounts with DBS?
Accredited Investor (AI) status is held on a per financial institution basis. If you opt in for AI status, this will be applied to all DBS account(s) which are held in your name.
The only exception is in respect of non-AIs who maintain joint accounts with at least one account holder who is an AI. For such cases, if there is at least one AI individual account holder, the non-AI account holders may opt in to be treated as an AI but only in respect of dealings through that joint account.
You may wish to note that DBS will be required to treat you as a non-AI for your joint account(s) from 8 July 2020 if the joint account does not have at least (i) one AI individual account holder or (ii) if the non-AI account holder(s) have not opted in to be treated as an AI for dealings through that joint account.
How do I opt out of AI status?
Existing AI clients may opt out of the AI status at any time. If you are an existing AI and wish to opt out of the AI status, please inform your Relationship Manager. Do note that DBS may take approximately 14 days to process your request. DBS will notify you once your request has been processed and your investor status has been updated in DBS' records. Until such time, you would still be considered an AI.
How can I opt-in as an AI?
You can indicate your wish to opt-in through any of these channels:
Digitally through DBS digibanking (steps detailed below);
Returning the AI Opt-In form by mail / scan / fax to your Relationship Manager; or

Westfield (a client) organise a world retail study tour for Australian businesses to visit peers, examplars and trend-setters in the US and Europe.
On the London leg of the tour – following a period in the US – the delegates had visited key retail stores, niche retailers, characterful areas of London and for a day heard presentations from major retailing figures.
I was pleased to be able to open proceedings this morning with a presentation on 'the UK online consumer' and trends and issues in multichannel retail.
As it was a private presentation there are no slides available.


Did you know that one in four school-aged children and one in twenty preschoolers have an undiagnosed eye condition? If these are left untreated or even undetected they could have serious repercussions on your child's education.
It is often thought that children have to be proficient readers before they can have their eyes tested. In actual fact children as young as one year old can be assessed using pictures and shapes instead of words.
It's vital that your child has regular eye health checks, particularly before they start school, so that any vision problems can be identified and corrected in good time. Children typically have no awareness of how their sight should be, so they may not realise that their vision is anything out of the ordinary. For this reason, proactive eye care for children is essential – you can't rely on them to tell you they have a problem!
You know as well as we do that children generally dislike having to sit still. Sitting still and having eyes checked is often an even bigger struggle. At Ralph Carr Opticians, our optometrist Ian is experienced in assessing children and has developed a variety of strategies to keep them engaged and entertained while they're in the chair. A computerised test chart that shows shapes, patterns, pictures, and even a short animated film that cleverly includes visual acuity measurement.
This doesn't mean the fun should stop at the end of their assessment. If your little one needs glasses they'll be overwhelmed at the range of designs they can choose from, including Converse, Ted Baker, Bench and Kickers. A member of our team will always be on hand to help them decide on the perfect pair, as well as advising you about the specific features that will help them survive the playground.
For more information about our range of services, or to book an eye health check for your child, please feel free to call us on 01744 23955.

Who invented the world wide web?
Almost universally you will find references that state that Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide. According to the World Wide Web Foundation, "Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web in 1989." But is it that simple?
Like any use of the word invention, it is rarely a simple process of one person creating something new entirely from scratch. Let's define the world wide web and its components.
What is the World Wide Web?
Many people use the term internet interchangeably with "the web" or "world wide web." The internet is the information super highway, the infrastructure on which we travel. Web browsers and web servers make up the world wide web, the vehicle we use to travel on the highway.

Thomas Alva Edison prolific inventor and legendary lunatic
Thomas Alva Edison is considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, credited with numerous inventions that contributed to mass communication and telecommunications.
Edison's first invention was the Universal Stock Ticker in 1869. Edison used the money he earned from the stock ticker to start his lab in Menlo Park, New Jersey.
It has been said that Edison did not just have a laboratory at Menlo Park, he created an invention factory. Edison was a systems thinker and a project manager. Edison took the image of an inventor as one man tinkering alone in a shop and turned it into an industry.
Edison's first major invention at Menlo Park was the phonograph in November 1877.
Thomas Edison the rock star
Edison was the top rock star of his generation for creating the magical music box known as the phonograph. Edison conceived the principle of recording and reproducing sound as a byproduct of his efforts to play back recorded telegraph messages and to automate speech sounds for transmission by telephone. Edison was a pioneer in the field of audio recording with his tin foil voice recorder. Considered to be his first great invention, the phonograph was Edison's life-long personal favorite.
Edison made a name for himself as the inventor of the phonograph giving demonstrations of his famous talking machine to the president and the US Congress. Becoming a legendary larger than life folk hero of the 19th century, Edison was dubbed the Wizard of Menlo Park.

The 1980s internet protocols become universal language of computers
The internet was not something born of a single idea, but rather a gradual evolution, and the work of many people over many years.
The idea started with a vision to create a decentralized computer network, whereby every computer was connected to each other, but if one member of the systems was hit, the others would remain unaffected.From the initial idea of a decentralized computer network came the concept of packet switching. During the 1960s Paul Baran developed the concept of packet switching networks while conducting research at the historic RAND organization.
What is a Protocol?
The network concept of protocols establishes a set of rules for each system to speak the others language in order for them to communicate. Once the concept of packet switching was developed the next stage in the evolution was to create a language that would be understood by all computer systems.
This new standard set of rules would enable different types of computers, with different hardware and software platforms, to communicate in spite of their differences. Protocols describe both the format that a message must take as well as the way in which messages are exchanged between computers.
The next phase in the evolution of the Internet would be the work of Bob Kahn and Vinton Cerf during the 1970s. Kahn and Cerf would collaborate as key members of a team to create TCP/IP, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP), the building blocks of the modern internet.
TCP/IP becomes the language of the Internet

In Switzerland, the Board of Syngenta confirmed that it has received an unsolicited proposal from Monsanto to acquire the company at a price of $45 billion (CHF449 per Syngenta share) with approximately 45 percent in cash.
Reporting on the proposed acquisition has sugested that key Syngenta shareholders would back a deal which valued Syngenta at $50 billion.
Syngenta's Board of Directors, in conjunction with its legal and financial advisers, has undertaken a thorough review of all aspects of Monsanto's offer and has unanimously determined to reject Monsanto's proposal as it is not in the best interests of Syngenta, its shareholders and its stakeholders. The offer fundamentally undervalues Syngenta's prospects and underestimates the significant execution risks, including regulatory and public scrutiny at multiple levels in many countries.
Michel Demaré, Syngenta Chairman said, "Syngenta is the world leader in Crop Protection, the number three in Seeds and the first company to introduce integrated solutions for growers. Monsanto's proposal does not reflect the outstanding growth prospects of Syngenta's integrated strategy and the significant future value potential of the company's crop-focused innovation and market leading positions.
"While Syngenta's valuation is currently affected by short term currency and commodity price movements, the business outlook is strong, with emerging markets accounting for over 50% of our sales. Our integrated strategy has been particularly successful in these markets which in 2014 registered double digit growth rates for the fifth consecutive year, and which represent a major part of the future growth potential for our industry. Recently launched new products are achieving rapid sales growth globally as growers demand the latest technologies, and we have a strong pipeline of innovative crop protection products in development, which have total peak sales potential of over $3 billion.

The protesters gathered in front of the Herat governor's office and said if their voices are not heard, they will close highways and roads in the province.
The protesting candidates said they want the votes of October 20 parliamentary elections of the province to be recounted by the election commission.
"Activities of the government, president and the independent election commission have weakened people's views on legitimacy of the government and the next parliament," Shafiq Behrozeyan, a protesting candidate said.
"We agreed to close all the highways leading to Herat province," Abdurrazaq Hakimi, another protester said.
"In total, the legitimacy of elections has been questioned," said Soraya Sobhrang, a protesting candidate.
Herat local officials meanwhile said they will convey the candidates' demands to the Independent Election Commission in Kabul.
"Local officials will pass on all the demands of the protesters to officials in the central government in Kabul," Mujib Rahman Faizi, deputy spokesman of Herat governor said.
The Independent Electoral Complaint Commission in Herat meanwhile said after assessing elections complaints, changes will happen at the final results of Herat's parliamentary elections.
The preliminary results of elections have been announced in the province, but a number of candidates want the votes to be recounted.
Protesting Herat candidates said if their voices are not heard, they will close roads leading into the province.

Saturday Matinee: Valley Girl
Posted on February 13, 2021 by Luther Blissett
80S BITS: VALLEY GIRL
By Richard Grey
Source: TheRealBits.com
With the release of a fourth American Pie film this year, one that largely looks back at the highs and lows of the 1999 original, it is tough to imagine a time when teen sex comedies weren't a dime a dozen. When reflecting on Martha Coolidge's 1983 hit film Valley Girl, what makes it stand out is just how much hasn't changed in the last three decades. Some of the fashions might have altered, the music is now retro and valley girls have been parodied in everything from Frank Zappa music to Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yet there remains a central familiarity that this film set the tone for in many ways.
In fair California, where we lay our scene, Julie Richman (Deborah Foreman) is a rich valley girl who has everything a young lady could dream of: cool parents, money, a gaggle of friends and the hottest boyfriend in town. After hanging out with her valley friends Loryn (Elizabeth Daily), Stacey (Heidi Holicker), and Suzi (Michelle Meyrink), she decides that Tommy (Michael Bowen) doesn't respect her anymore and unceremoniously dumps him. When she meets Hollywood punk Randy (Nicolas Cage) at a party, the pair share an instant connection, and Randy falls in love hard, showing her a world she never knew existed. Yet Julie's friends don't approve, and she must decided whether to go with Randy or cave to peer pressure and reconcile with Tommy.
The disparity between rich and poor, and the class war it created, was a major theme in the films of the 1980s, proving to be the Romeo and Juliet stumbling block that stopped couples from uniting in Pretty in Pink and Some Kind of Wonderful to name but a few. Just as the decade of decadence was getting underway, the familiar trope is pulled out here not so much as a cheap cash grab, but rather as a parody of the popular youth culture of the 1980s. More so than any other film that has lampooned or been set in the 1980s since, Valley Girl captures the era perfectly, from the plastic image-focused girls of the valley, to the New Wave punks of Hollywood, just as caught in the scene as the sex-obsessed girls.
Where most teen comedies are the fantasies of the middle-aged, who vicariously live out deflowering fantasies that they missed out in their own formative years, female filmmaker Martha Coolidge creates a world inhabited with real kids. Much of the film cleverly sits back and observes conversations, adopting an almost documentary approach to exposition. Refreshingly, this means that catching girls out in the nude or obtaining a pair of panties as a trophy are not the ultimate goals in the film, nor is there a contest to be the first past the cherry-popping post. These young characters are sexual active, aware of their own bodies but in contrast conflicted over the dichotomy between their feelings and social status. Through the mere act of listening, we find out their fears and their desires. Who knew that girls talk about sex almost as much, if not more than, boys?
Valley Girl is fuelled by a terrific New Wave soundtrack, making liberal use of The Plimsouls and Josie Cotton, who both appear in the film. Peppered with minor hits of the 1982-83 charts, "I Melt with You" by Modern English serves as an unofficial theme song for the film. The film originally had a lot more on the soundtrack, with the music rights costing $250,000 on top of the film's original $350,000 budget. However, while The Clash, Culture Club, Bananarama, and The Jam all originally appeared in the credits to the film, none of their songs can be found in the actual picture thanks to an inability to secure the rights. Frank Zappa, whose satirical 1982 song "Valley Girl" served as the basis for the film, unsuccessfully attempted to sue the film's makers for capitalising on his song's name.
Trivia fans will know that this was the first film in which a young Nicolas Coppola first used his more famous stage name of Nicolas Cage, but the legacy of the film goes well beyond beginning the career that launched a thousand hairpieces. Apart from popularising the highly imitable "Valspeak", Valley Girl opened the door for frank and open explorations of youth anxiety and sex, far more than the Porky's films ever did. Indeed, a direct line can be traced between Valley Girl's star-crossed lovers and the Jane Austen-inspired Clueless. Like, totally for sure.

James Howlett / LoganWolverine
A mutant with an unstoppable healing power, adamantium metal claws and no-nonsense attitude makes the man called Logan, one of the most ferocious heroes in the universe.
James Howlett was born to wealthy John and Elizabeth Howlett in Alberta, Canada, during the last years of the 19th century. As a child, he was frail and unhealthy due to his overactive mutant immune system and was neglected by his mother, who had been institutionalized following the death of her first son, John Jr., in 1897. James's mutant abilities were triggered when his father was shot by the Howlett groundskeeper Thomas Logan, whom he did not know was his real father. James killed Logan, slashed the face of Logan's son and his friend Dog, and left Alberta with a childhood friend, Rose O'Hara.
His healing abilities drove trauma from his memories, leaving him partially amnesiac. He and Rose found refuge at a British Columbia stone quarry, where Rose, claiming James was her cousin, gave his name as "Logan." Within months, Logan's powers were heightening due to the environment around him. He became healthier and gained senses to rival those of an animal, but also became more violent. To divert some of this pent-up rage, Logan partook in cage fights where his prowess earned him the nickname "Wolverine." After accidentally killing Rose with his claws, Logan retreated into the woods where he lived as a feral beast, losing all of his former memories.
He would later reenter society and travel the world, partaking in every major conflict of the 20th century (WWI, WWII, the Spanish Civil War, the Vietnam War) as a soldier, criminal, or mercenary for hire. This caused him to coin the phrase "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do best isn't very nice."
While on the run from the law, he was abducted by the Canadian super soldier program known as "Weapon X." He had previously been a willing participant in the program in the early 1960s as an international operative of Team X. Logan was a prime candidate for this new iteration of Weapon X due to his incredibly fast healing and endurance, which allowed Doctor Cornelius and his team to fuse adamantium to his skeleton. The experiment was successful and gave Logan more control over his berserker nature, but also wiped him of any residual memories he had lingering in his head.
When the Hulk blundered his way into Canadian territory, Logan was mobilized against the green gargantuan. He was also used to kill the entire population of a small town in a field test, but eventually broke loose from his captors, slaying almost everyone at the Weapon X facility. Despite this, they still had his DNA and were able to create new mutants like Avery Connor and clawed clone called X-23 (aka Laura Kinney).
His real sense of belonging would not arrive until he joined the X-Men.
Slashing Skills
Wolverine's rapid regeneration powers allow him to bounce back from almost every type of bodily wound on the condition that his head remains firmly attached to his shoulders. Nevertheless, the time of each healing is understandably proportionate to the severity of the injury. His body is also immune to most poisons, drugs, and diseases; his agility, reflexes, and senses are similarly enhanced. Wolverine sees and hears things at distances far greater than those of ordinary humans. His sense of smell is even more magnified and he can recognize people and objects by scent alone, which, combined with combat and stealth training, makes him one of the world's foremost trackers.
The most iconic of his natural weapons are six retractable, slightly curved, foot-long bone claws, three in each arm, beneath the skin and muscle of his forearms. He can, at will, release these claws through the skin beneath his knuckles. The claws are naturally sharp and tougher than normal human bone, allowing them to penetrate most types of flesh and natural materials.
He has an extra defense from the Weapon X program, where his skeleton was coated in the near-indestructible steel alloy known as adamantium. This adds an extra 105 pounds to his frame—or 47.6 kilograms in Mr. Howlett's native metric system. Immediately after this procedure, his healing factor was slowed so that it might take weeks to recover from multiple wounds, but eventually the factor returned to full strength and speed. The adamantium renders his bones virtually unbreakable and his claws capable of penetrating almost any substance depending on its thickness and the force he exerts. His reinforced skeleton also enables him to withstand heavy physical pressure, giving his muscles sufficient force to briefly lift 800 pounds or more.
To top things off, Wolverine is trained in hand-to-hand combat, computer systems, vehicles, weapons, and is fluent in Cheyenne, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Lakota, Russian and Spanish, with some French, Thai, and Vietnamese.
The Snikt List
Wolverine's enemies are numerous and it is often hard not to blame them. After all, he is a hard guy to get along with.
However, an adversary, with abilities to match Logan's, is Victor Creed (AKA Sabertooth) who also has retractable claws and healing factor. The two first clashed in Japan with Logan coming out on top and leaving Creed for dead, unaware that he had regenerative powers as well. Creed is an operative of the mastermind Romulus, ruler of the wolf-like Lupine and a worldwide criminal empire. Two of Wolverine's maternal uncles, Elias and Frederick Hudson, work for him, although he is unaware of it. Romulus kept an eye on Logan for a good portion of his life and mentally manipulated him at times.
Logan's Heroes
While a brief member of the Canadian Super Hero team known as Alpha Flight, Wolverine joins the X-Men at the behest of Professor Charles Xavier. This is his most iconic home and the place where he enters into an on-again, off-again relationship with telepath Jean Grey. Her existing relationship with Scott Summers (AKA Cyclops), however, creates a complex love triangle between all three.

A Lifetime of Generations
For all the moments of infatuated bliss, there is no denying that Wolverine has had a hard life, or still does, because he can't die. He just keeps on living, waiting to see what horrors humanity can cook up next. In the 1993 crossover of "Fatal Attractions," Magneto ripped the adamantium out of Logan's body. Ten years later, he was brainwashed by Hydra and the Hand in the "Enemy of the State" storyline to attack his fellow Super Heroes. Not everything was horrible, though. After this, he regained all of his memories in 2005's "House of M."
Logan also did major favors for other established heroes including Black Panther. He helped transport a young girl across the border of her native African country to safety at great risk to himself, and that's no joke. Many bullets and arrows found their way into his durable flesh.
Wolverine met his doom when a virus from the Microverse robbed him of his regenerative powers. Word soon spread and a bounty was put on his head, resulting in many battles with his enemies. For help, he sought out Dr. Cornelius, the very man who gave him his adamantium skeleton in the Weapon X program. Far from reformed, Cornelius planned to replicate the experiment on more victims. Logan prevented this by slashing open Cornelius' vat of molten adamantium, which coated his now vulnerable body, killing him. To honor his memory, Laura Kinney (X-23) took up the post of Wolverine.
In the alternate reality known as Earth-807128, Wolverine was an aged, gray-haired geezer known as Old Man Logan who lived in an America ruled by Super Villains, where Red Skull declared himself president. He had a wife and two kids in Sacramento and worked for a sight-impaired Hawkeye. Old Man Logan refused to use his claws, saying that the persona of Wolverine perished the day the villains took over. He came out of retirement, swearing vengeance against them after his family is brutally murdered.
For all his brooding nature and solitary preferences, Wolverine is a big softy. Not literally, though, because remember, every bone in his body is covered in an unbreakable material. Figuratively speaking, Logan is a very good guy, willing to stick his invincible neck out for those in desperate need of help. Over the years he has become a mentor or father figure to characters like Kitty Pryde and Jubilee. Both members of the X-Men got their own storylines with Logan and learned much while at his side. The guy has been around the block and has picked up an important lesson or two to pass on to the younger generations.

A development news reaching us at Katsina Post has it that the federal government has reportedly set all the machineries for the convert of the Federal Tertiary Hospital, the Federal Medical Centre in Katsina to a full-blown teaching Hospital.
Katsina Post also gathered that the Federal Medical Centre will then be moved to Daura town.
This was disclosed to our reporter by one of the highly ranked officials of the hospital and who pleaded for anonymity.
The teaching hospital, when finally actualized would serve the State and Federal owned Universities – Umaru Musa Yar'adua University and Federal University, Dustin-ma for the purpose of teaching their medical students.
It could be recalled that the state government had earlier constituted a committee that will look into the possibility of converting the State-owned General Amadi Rimi Specialist and Orthopedic Hospital to a Teaching Hospital following the earlier resistance of the Federal government to convert the FMC to a Teaching Hospital.

Carrie Perrodo had been one of the top models since the 1970s, but her fortune changed when she met Hubert Perrodo, whom she later married. Carrie was born Ka Yee (Carrie) Wong in Singapore, but she met Perrodo, married him, and became Carrie Perrodo.
Hubert was a French entrepreneur, art collector and polo player, who founded and owner Perenco, the oil group of France. Perrodo died in 2006 in an Alpine climbing incident, after which Carrie and Francois, her eldest son, took over the company's business.
Carrie was already a successful model when she met Perrodo, her future husband. Perrodo was also traveling across the world at that time in search of gas and oil. Both of them liked each other and soon got married, but both had an entrepreneurial bug in them. As time and chance allowed, Carrie launched Carrie's Models, her own modeling agency, and Hubert also started Perenco, his first business venture. Over time, Perenco has become one of the largest family-owned oil companies in the world, with international operations even in Peru, Vietnam and Gabon.
Carrie's Models, her modeling agency, was sold out several years ago, but it is still operational in the industry. The amount for which the agency was sold is not known, as the family is too secretive to reveal anything.
Francois is their eldest son, who is now the chairperson of Perenco, while Nathalie is responsible for overseeing wine investments. Although Carrie has immense entrepreneurship skills, she got most of her fortune by inheritance. Perenco, the oil company created by her husband, gives a gross $6 billion of revenue every year. In 2014, she purchased oil fields in Gabon, Colombia and Vietnam. The company is solely owned by her family, and she is not accountable to even a single shareholder.
Carrie Perrodo is a perfect match of beauty with brains. There are very few billionaires in this world, and very few among them are beautiful too. The Perrodo family is very secretive, and extracting information from them is a task next to impossible.At the age of more than 60, she still carries a svelte body and charming smile, which make her one of the richest and cutest billionaires in the world. Her 3 children are now running the business, and it is still growing.

Above the earth
Descriptive of planets above the horizon, i.e., placed in the 12th, 11th, 10th, 9th, 8th or 7th house. In many kinds of charts it is considered beneficial to have the Sun, Moon or majority of the planets 'above the earth'. This may be the case, for example, in a theft chart, where it could show that hidden factors are more likely to 'come to light'; or in a medical-related chart in showing that the problem is fully manifest and easy to diagnose; or in a chart concerning a ship in danger, where it would increase the likelihood of the ship remaining afloat.

Abu-Ma'shar - astrologer (a.k.a. Albumasar: 787-886)
Born in Khorasan, like Masha'allah and Sahl he moved to Baghdad where his reputation grew: towards the end of his life he was considered the greatest astrologer of his time. He studied under Alkindi, and it was a philosophical argument with Alkindi that fuelled his desire to gain knowledge. His most important astrological work, The Great Introduction to the Science of Astrology, was written around 850 CE and was widely circulated for many generations as an authoritative text, receiving many translations, both in its full and in an abbreviated form. (The abbreviated text was translated into English in 1997, by Charles Burnett).

Accidental dignity
Strength that a planet gains for some reason other than its zodiacal placement. It can be conveyed by any attribute that helps to increase the prominence of its effects – such as being angular, direct/swift in motion, free from combustion, in a beneficial aspect to a fortunate planet or conjunct a fixed star of a fortunate nature.
Afflicting
Causing damage to a house or planet. If one of the malefics is in bad aspect to another planet, the latter is afflicted by it. Mars, Saturn, (or the South Node) can afflict houses by their presence, particularly if they are poorly dignified and involved in difficult aspects. Planets that are usually considered benefics can also afflict, if they are in a damaged state or act as rulers of the houses that are traditionally considered unfortunate, i.e.: - 4th, 6th, 8th and 12th houses.
Al Biruni - astrologer (973-1048)
Regarded as one of the greatest scholars of the medieval Islamic era. He spent much of his life in Ghazni (modern day Afghanistan) where he worked as the court astrologer, but he also travelled widely, acquiring knowledge of a wide range of philosophical subjects and acquiring fluency in many languages. His Book of Instruction in the Elements of the Art of Astrology was translated into English by R. Ramsay Wright in 1934.
Albertus Magnus ('Albert the Great': 1193-1280)
A Catholic Dominican friar and bishop, considered the greatest German philosopher and theologian of the Middle Ages. He gained fame for advocating scientific and religious harmony and was made a saint by the Catholic Church in 1931. Albertus approved of judicial astrology and supported the practice of horary at a time when other medieval authorities were condemning it on the grounds that it contradicted the Catholic Church's teaching on freedom of will. Albertus argued that horary does not inhibit free will, but rather enhances it by giving the querent better informed choices. His arguments on this matter are presented in his Speculum Astronomiae where he maintained that well known books on horary and judicial astrology should not be burned or considered unnatural.
Alkindi - astrologer (c. 801-873)
Educated in Baghdad, Alkindi became a prominent figure in the House of Wisdom and served under several Caliphs to oversee the translation of scientific texts into Arabic. He translated over 200 important works and went on to write hundreds of original treatises of his own, gaining him a reputation for being the greatest philosopher of his era.
The angular distance of a planet above or below the horizon.
The angles are the ascendant, descendant, midheaven (MC) and Imum Coeli (or 'lower midheaven': IC). These mark the cusps of the 1st, 7th, 10th and 4th houses, and are also referred to as 'cardinal points'. Planets in these houses are generally defined as 'angular' and powerful in influence.
Animodar
A method of rectification which can be traced back to the work of Ptolemy and is explained in detail in several traditional works. It aims to correct the degree of the ascendant (once the astrologer knows which sign should be on the ascendant) by using the degree position of the planet that had most influence over the preceding New or Full Moon.


The client required seismic qualification of a 10" butterfly valve with actuator. Qualification of the valve (actuator qualified previously) was performed using a Static Side Load Test in accordance with CSA N289.4. Qualification of valves by Static Side Load Test is a lower cost option than a dynamic seismic test, as it is not a destructive test.
Kinectrics was selected by the client to perform the work based on its Equipment Qualification (EQ) expertise, nuclear industry knowledge, and advanced test facilities.
The seismic qualification program for this project was completed to meet Design Basis Event (DBE) Category 'B', which requires that a device maintain its pressure boundary integrity and functions during and following an applicable seismic event.
The scope of testing included a visual inspection, functional baseline test, Static Side Load Test, and final functional test. Testing was completed under Kinectrics' QA program, which meets the requirements of Canadian nuclear standards.
Kinectrics delivered this test program to the client on budget and on schedule within a short time frame (test start Dec. 2015, customer acceptance of final report Jan. 2016) utilizing a highly-skilled team comprising a project manager, a seismic engineer, and mechanical/electrical engineers.
Kinectrics has extensive nuclear industry experience and unparalleled seismic facilities, including a single axis Random Input Motion (RIM) table, tri-axial Random Multi-Frequency (RMF) table, and a strong floor for Static Side Load Testing; making Kinectrics a leader in performing seismic qualification testing services.

Simon Cho's Olympic speedskating opportunity rewards his family's investment
By Amy Shipley
Washington Post Staff Writer
Wednesday, January 13, 2010; A01
Born in Seoul, Simon Cho sneaked into the United States illegally with his mother and sister 14 years ago, slipping through a border crossing near Vancouver, B.C. His search for the American dream began with the sort of furtive move that he now relies on in the mayhem-filled sport of short-track speedskating, which he mastered during years of training at the Arlington-based Potomac Speedskating Club.
Cho, 18, now a U.S. citizen, will make a triumphant return to Vancouver in February as a member of the U.S. Olympic team that will compete in the Winter Games. But his journey has been anything but smooth.
Until recently considered an up-and-comer on the cusp of moving into the country's super elite, Cho has struggled to qualify for coveted Olympic grants that would help offset annual speedskating costs of nearly $40,000. To meet his sport's heavy training demands, Cho dropped out of high school after his sophomore year.
Last year, his parents sold their small, take-out restaurant, Kasey's Seafood in Upper Marlboro, merely to pay the bills.
"It doesn't matter for the rich people, but I am not rich," said Cho's father, Jay, who moved his wife and daughter into a rental apartment with their son in Salt Lake City, where Jay Cho took a part-time job. "If you don't have money, it's very tough to have the American dream."
Simon Cho, meantime, said public schools in Maryland and Utah -- private school was out of the question -- would not accommodate his full-time commitment to the sport.
Despite the myriad sacrifices, Cho did not expect to qualify for the five-person U.S. men's short-track Olympic team during the September trials in Marquette, Mich.
Still 17, Cho was considerably younger than most of the top athletes in the sport, a wild discipline requiring supreme quickness, speed, strategy -- and experience. Five-time Olympic medal winner Apolo Ohno, considered one of the best in the world, is 27.
"When I say nobody thought I would make the team, literally nobody thought I would make it," Cho said during a phone interview from Salt Lake City. "Not even me."
'He was super good'
After arriving in the United States to work in 1993, Jay Cho did not intend to bring his family from South Korea without the proper paperwork, but the wait for green cards was seven years, and he missed his family. In 1996, he met his wife, daughter Anna, then 2, and Simon, then 4, in Vancouver. They stayed for a week in a motel, then made their way without incident across the border.
Helped by more relaxed immigration regulations at that time, the family obtained green cards by 2001, and all became U.S. citizens by 2004. After several years in Chicago and Harrisburg, Pa., where Cho worked as a software programmer, the family moved to Laurel, seeking better training for Simon. Since taking up the sport at age 3 in his home country, he had shown promise.
"He didn't know whether he liked it or not, but in every competition, he got first place," his father said.
Cho joined the now-defunct Wheaton Speedskating Club, which was succeeded by the Potomac Speedskating Club. Jimmy Jang, now an assistant coach for the U.S. national team in Salt Lake City, and Cho began working together in 2001, and Jang said he immediately knew he had a special talent on his hands.
"He was a great athlete," Jang said. "He was the next generation. . . . He was super good."
Cho advanced rapidly under Jang, winning a handful of age-group titles. "After one season under Jimmy, I knew I could be really good at this," Cho said.
By 2005, while at Murray Hill Middle School, Cho had won the juvenile division of the North American championships. In 2006, he qualified for the national team program in Marquette, Mich., where he attended public school -- Marquette Senior High -- for the last time, completing his freshman year. That January, he became the youngest to qualify for the U.S. junior world championship team that went to the Czech Republic. Then 15, he finished eighth in the 500-meter race.
After the year in Michigan, Cho moved back to Laurel, but found he could not meet public school attendance requirements. He used online classes to complete his sophomore year, he said, but went no further as he learned that the Maryland State Department of Education does not grant high school diplomas for online course work. "I've kind of put my education on hold temporarily," Cho said. "I'm putting all my focus on the Olympic Games."
Said Jay Cho: "That's the very, very difficult thing. When he finished middle school, he was good at school. . . . But the school system in Maryland is very strict. No exceptions for athletes. . . . After the Olympics, he's going to focus on studying and enroll in high school."
Simon Cho was actually ready to rejoin his old friends in Maryland's public school system last fall after taking a hiatus from the sport. After a subpar year in 2008, Cho failed to qualify for performance grants from the U.S. Olympic Committee and U.S. Speedskating, the sport's national governing body. Disappointed and upset, Cho left Salt Lake City, where he had been training with Jang, and returned home.
"I just lost the desire to skate," Cho said. "In the past, I had done so well, but then my results were mediocre. My self-esteem was low at that point."
Cho said putting away his skates for a few months was therapeutic. Jang, meantime, wasn't about to let his longtime star pupil simply disappear with the Olympic Games on the horizon.
"In 2009, April, I call his father," Jang said. "I say, 'I know Simon Cho has the talent and he can be ready for the Olympic Games.' . . . His father say to me, 'I don't have that kind of money to send him to Salt Lake City to teach speedskating.' "
With the economy in a recession, Jang couldn't drum up a sponsorship for Cho on a moment's notice, but he also couldn't stomach the idea of Cho giving up on his Olympic dream. Jang persuaded a fellow coach to take on Cho as a student for free. Cho would have to pay only for room, board and travel-related costs, as well as skating club fees.
By then, Cho wanted to get back on the ice. With his father's blessing, he flew to Salt Lake City, moved in with friends and got to work, training hard at the Utah Olympic Oval in Kearns in the four months leading up the trials.
Cho's family joined him shortly before the trials, which took place over four days in mid-September. On day two, Cho surprisingly emerged. After finishing fifth in the 1,500 meters, he faced a brutal field in the 500. Cho lined up with Ohno, world-medalist J.R. Celski and Jeff Simon, winner of six World Cup medals, all of whom were considered favorites.
On the fourth lap of the short race, Celski and Ohno got entangled, and Celski, who ended up on the ice, was disqualified. Simon fell after running into Ohno, and Cho cruised across the finish line with a stunning victory.
"I thought I had no chance of making it until once the ball got rolling," Cho said. "As the skating progressed, I got better and better with each passing race."
By the end of the weekend, Cho's place on the U.S. Olympic team in Vancouver was secure.
Jang said last week that Cho has since pushed himself into Olympic medal contention. In November, he finished fourth in the 500 at a World Cup event in Seoul, then placed sixth at a World Cup in Montreal. He will compete in the individual 500 and the 5,000 relay in Vancouver.
"That's why I brought him to the United States: to give him a lot of chances," Jay Cho said. "I had, actually, confidence. As long as Simon has [a] strong mentality -- because he has talent -- as long as he try, I thought [the Olympics] could be possible."
Perhaps of greatest relief to the family: Cho has been receiving USOC funds since making the Olympic team. Jay Cho said he hopes his son will land a sponsor or two through his performance at the Olympic Games.
In any case, Jay Cho said, his family would remain in Salt Lake City after the Games, continuing to support a career that has been both hard and sweet.
"We're halfway to the American dream," Jay Cho said. "If Simon made the final in the Olympic Games, or if Simon gets some medals, it means we make the American dream."

The Botlikh people (also known as Bótligh, Botlig, Botlog or Buikhatli) are an Andi–Dido people of Dagestan. Until the 1930s they were considered a distinct people. Since that time they have been classified as Caucasian Avars and have faced a campaign to have them assimilate into that population. The Botlikh are primarily Sunni Muslims.

They numbered 3,354 people in 1926. They speak the Botlikh language, which belongs to the Northeast Caucasian language family. According to the Russian Census (2002) only 16 people in Russia declared themselves as Botlikhs (none of them in Dagestan), and 90 people declared speaking the Botlikh language. The number of speakers is higher, about 5,500, according to a survey by Koryakov in 2006.

The village of Botlikh is just north of the Andi Koysu River. During the Murid War Russian forces gathered here for their final push against Shamil. During the Dagestan Uprising (1920) the Reds were defeated here several times.

Linux Deductive Verification project aims to improve open source deductive verification tools, so they can be used to prove properties of Linux kernel code. A target for the first round of the project is a custom LSM implementation that is a part of the Astra Linux Special Edition distribution. The follow-up target is a set of formally verified Linux kernel library functions with publicly available specifications and proof protocols.
We build our efforts on top of the 'Frama-C + Jessie + Why3 IDE' deductive verification toolchain. The toolchain was adapted, so it can be used to prove properties of Linux kernel code. The most of our modifications goes to the Jessie plugin, while the Frama-C front-end and the Why3 platform have got just minor fixes or improvements. Some of our modifications were already applied upstream, while the rest is available in our public repositories.
Expression-level support for bitwise arithmetic operations.
Support for pointer type reinterpretation between integer types, incl. types of different size.
Template specifications for standard library memory operations.
Control flow highlighting for verification conditions in Why3ide.
