Detailed guidance
Paying nonwage compensation to a nonresident foreign company
Key terms:
Tax at source
Foreign company
Official Instructions
1/1/2019 - Until further notice
Replaces guidance
A54/200/2017, 15.3.2017
This is an unofficial translation. The official instruction is drafted in Finnish and Swedish languages.
This bulletin is designed for a Finnish service recipient paying nonwage compensation to a nonresident foreign company.
The name of this bulletin has been changed due to the change of § 9 of the income tax act on 1 January 2021.
Wages, salaries and employer's contributions paid on 1 January 2019 or later must be reported to the Incomes Register (more information on the Incomes Register, see vero.fi/en/incomes-register). Chapters 2 and 3 has been updated 1 January 2019 to take into consideration deployment of the Incomes Register.
1. Obligation to withhold tax at source
The Finnish service recipient has the obligation to withhold tax at source on nonwage payments to foreign companies when the work or comparable services have been performed in Finland.
However, the service recipient should withhold no tax at source if
the foreign company is prepayment-registered in Finland
the foreign company has applied for a tax-at-source card, showing zero percent of tax.
Additionally, the service recipient should withhold no tax at source if the foreign company presents a full explanation to show that an international treaty prevents Finland from collecting tax (in the case of a bilateral tax treaty between Finland and another country, this situation will usually involve that the foreign company has no permanent establishment in Finland). Nevertheless, if the nonwage pay is associated with the performance of construction work of houses and other buildings, earthmoving, water engineering, or other building work, assembly or installation project work, shipbuilding work, transporting or cleaning, caring and nurturing work, or if the nonwage pay is associated with leased employees in the sectors listed above, tax at source should always be withheld unless the foreign company is prepayment-registered in Finland, or the foreign company presents a tax-at-source card, showing zero percent of tax (§ 10 e, Act on the Taxation of the Income of Non-residents (627/1978)).
The rate of tax at source is 13%, when the nonwage compensation is paid to a foreign enterprise or a business partnership, comparable to a Finnish limited company (osakeyhtiö; aktiebolag). The rate of tax at source is 35%, when the nonwage compensation is paid to a private entrepreneur or a self-employed person.
If the foreign company wishes to avoid that the tax at source is withheld from the nonwage compensation it receives, it is recommendable for the company to apply for prepayment registration or to apply for a 0% tax-at-source card.
More information for foreign enterprises dealing with subjects such as prepayment registration and liability to Finnish income tax, see Starting up business and working with leased employees, see Leased employees - taxation in Finland.
2. Reporting to the Incomes Register
If tax was withheld at source the Finnish payer of nonwage compensation must report the nonwage compensation and tax at source to the Incomes Register.
More information on reporting vero.fi/en/incomes-register.
3. How to pay tax at source forward to Finnish Tax Administration
The Finnish service recipient is expected to pay the tax-at-source amount in MyTax-service (tax.fi/MyTax).
More information on paying self-assessed taxes, see Filing and paying self-assessed taxes.
4. Refunds of too much tax withheld
We recommend foreign companies to apply for prepayment registration or request for 0% tax-at-source card at an early stage — preferably already before the work in Finland and invoicing has been started. If the date of payment of the nonwage compensation falls before the date of prepayment registration or the date of receipt of the 0% tax-at-source card, the Finnish service recipient will have to withhold tax at source.
If a tax treaty with Finland is in force, the foreign company will be liable to Finnish income tax, and any received compensation will be taxable income, usually for the reason that its business operation in Finland gives rise to a permanent establishment. The rules that determine whether a permanent establishment is constituted or not are dependent on the clauses of the relevant tax treaty. The usual wording in the tax treaties that Finland has made with other countries is based on Article 5, Model Tax Convention of the OECD. Nevertheless, some variation exists as to the definitions of permanent establishment.
Some tax treaties determine a foreign-resident self-employed individual liable to pay Finnish income tax based on activities in Finland when the individual's duration of stay has exceeded 183 days within any 12-month period, even if a permanent establishment is not created (e.g. Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Iceland).
If Finland has no right to impose tax on the income of the foreign company, the company can submit a request for refund of excessively collected tax at source.
Two alternative procedures of refund are possible:
1. The Finnish service recipient that has withheld the tax refunds it to the foreign company
This alternative requires that the foreign company deliver the Finnish service recipient a written explanation, showing that no withholding of tax at source was necessary. In practice, a valid explanation is a retroactive 0% tax-at-source card issued by a Finnish tax office. If the foreign company has been prepayment-registered in Finland at a later date, it is not a valid explanation. If the Finnish service recipient receives, during the year of payment, a retroactive 0% tax-at-source card, the Finnish company can refund the tax to the foreign company. Revised documentation must be issued to the foreign company in this case. When preparing the revised documentation to show the refunded amount, the Finnish company should maintain an audit trail with the original proof of taxes withheld. Furthermore, Tax returns on self-assessed taxes that have been submitted will have to be corrected to reflect the refund payment (Correcting errors in a self-assessed tax return).
If the year of payment has passed, this procedure will no longer be possible, and procedure (2) must be used.
2. The foreign company submits a refund application to Finnish Tax Administration
The tax at source refund may be requested by filing form 6165e at the Finnish Tax Administration. Individual applicants use a form 6166e.
Form should be complete with the following enclosures: Proof of payment issued by the Finnish payer of the compensation, including proof of taxes withheld, and a statement by the Finnish payer to confirm that no withheld tax at source amounts have been refunded to the applicant. The application letter should also include an explanation, as described in , of the applicant's business conducted in Finland, and, if applicable, a copy of the business contract showing the services or work performed.
Nevertheless, neither of the two above methods of tax at source refund is feasible if Finland has the right to impose Finnish income tax, the most common reason for this being a permanent establishment created in Finland, or if a stay in Finland exceeding 183 days is involved. The foreign company will have to file an income tax return in Finland, and the collected tax at source will be credited against the Finnish income-tax liability. The foreign company should enclose documentation from the Finnish payer of the compensation, showing that tax at source had been withheld.

Anyone else seeing avatars disappear?
I'm seeing several users wihout avatars, replaced by 'Oliveriver Avatar' or whatever text where it should be. Is anyone else seeing this?
I am not seeing it. Other users and my profile pictures seem to work fine.
I just saw it with classyus's avatar.
I used to see this relatively often, but I haven't in a long time.
Aaaand now they're all back. Well, seems I was freaking out over nothing. I'll keep this thread open in case others have this issue in future.
I think that happens if you or the forums have a crappy internet connection and while the images don't load they're replaced with "Oliveriver Avatar" or something like that.
I think it is the internet being a laggyboi, and the profile pics you see were loaded before the internet became a laggyboi. That's why you see some but not others.
I don't think it's an internet issue, because for some reason, I haven't been able to see jojishi's profile picture for a couple weeks now. The issue is only for jojishi, and for no others.


Want to do something fun, exciting, meaningful and will go down in the history books in the next couple of days. Or perhaps, you are just as easily excited about QR Codes as we are. Either way, here is your chance to join a bunch of enthusiastic youth in making the world's largest QR Code in Toronto, Canada.
The tagline goes like this – Set a world record. Change a kid's life! On Saturday, June 16, 2012, a group of people from all walks of life will come together in North York's Ester Shiner Stadium, to create the QR Code. The thousand strong people is make the city's history when they combine technology, enthusiasm, youth and charity all into one smooth campaign. It was reported that more than a thousand and three hundred people have agreed to turn the campaign into a reality. There are only a one thousand three hundred and sixty nine squares to be done up, so, we are unsure about the availability of 'squares' at this point. Nevertheless, even if you head over and there isn't any 'squares' left for you, you would know that the donations will go towards a good cause, you can get snappy with your camera or just enjoy the atmosphere, which I am sure is going to be fantastic.
There is a minimum donation of $25 for each participant but if you are feeling generous on that day, the organizers, we are sure, do not mind much higher amounts. The event was put together by Toronto YFC or better known as Toronto's Youth Unlimited and they can be contacted by phone at 647-227-5465. For those who are unfamiliar with the territory and wish to participate, Google up Esther Shiner Stadium's address or copy the following address down – 5720, Bathurst Street, Toronto, ON, Canada.
More information about Youth Unlimited, head over to their website which is www.yunorthyork.com. There is another specific website that they have come up with to feature the event specifically and it is www.theqrcode.ca.
Frankly, projects like this is highly commendable simply because it brings together the youth, is meaningful because it is for a good charitable cause and it fires everyone up in a good way. Instead of spending the weekend crawling the mall, you get the chance to boast to your friends and family members about having had a hand in coming up with the world's largest QR Code.
Seems like such an amazing way to spend your time. So, all you in Toronto Canada, if you decide to head over, snap loads of pictures and share them around (with us too)!

A série Telstar é uma série de clone do Pong lançados pela Coleco. Com esse videogame, a Coleco liderou a primeira geração de videogames. O console fez muito sucesso por causa de seus baixos preços (custava 50 dólares em média).

História
O Coleco Telstar foi um console básico se comparado à seus concorrentes da época, porém, seu chip (General Instruments AY-3-8500) era o mesmo de muitos modelos posteriores. Na verdade, essa simplicidade foi um grande golpe de marketing, pois versões com o mesmo chip foram lançadas posteriormente com "grandes melhoras" (o que fez o console vender mais).

A Coleco alcançou o primeiro lugar na venda de consoles da primeira geração graças aos baixos preços e a uma sorte extra. Naquela época havia muitas empresas querendo entrar para o ramo de videogames, o único problema é que havia poucos fabricantes de chips. A príncipal fabricante da época era a General Instruments, que estava sobrecarregada de serviço, porém, a Coleco se adiantou nos pedidos do seu chip foi a única a receber todo o pedido de uma vez. Com o sobrecarregamento das empresas que produziam chips, algumas das grandes concorrentes da Coleco chegaram a receber somente 20% da encomenda. Resultado: a Coleco liderou.

So Everyone's In A Movie? Harry Styles's Movie Casting in 'Don't Worry Darling" Announced
I would be lying if Harry Styles didn't cross my mind while I was writing my piece on Halsey's acting debut yesterday. Beyond the fact that I think about Harry Styles at least once a day, he's had a history with acting, and the rumor mill around that is constantly swirling. If you didn't know, he starred in Dunkirk in 2017 in his first acting role (unless you're counting when he played himself in iCarly. Please look the clip up on YouTube). Headlines got made at the end of last year around his album release that he was set to be Prince Eric in the live action Little Mermaid. That got quickly debunked during the press tour, though he had been considered for the role. Touring was more important. (And I'm honestly glad he passed. Disney has yet to successfully pull off a live action adaption of a princess movie). Recently, his name started trending on Twitter because there was rumors he was starring in a movie alongside Brad Pitt. It later came out that neither Harry nor Brad were actually in the movie. When I saw this announcement, I assumed it was fake too, but I'm staring at the Deadline article in front of me. It's actually not a hoax?
I'm both super surprised and not surprised at all. I'm waiting to see how many of my favorite musical artists end up in TV shows or films in the next year because while the film industry is stumbling along in this COVID world, the touring side of the music industry is at a permanent stand still. While you can record and release new music, there are a lot of tricky situations with doing that now. Acting offers the perfect opportunity for artists put on pause mid album cycle (as both Harry and hassles were), the chance to keep working and stay relevant without doing anything that would complicate their rescheduled tours. If the pandemic continues well into 2021, artists might have to abandon some eras unfinished, but so far, we can still hold out hope for the tours we once looked forward to.
So instead of playing Fine Line to sold out arenas and headlining Harryween, Harry Styles will likely be on the set of 'Don't Worry Darling' as they're set to start production sometime in the fall. This movie already has a lot of clout even without Harry attached. It's Olivia Wilde's follow up project after Booksmart smashed records (though had mixed review from the people I knew who saw it), and everyone in Hollywood is anxious to see what they'll do. It also stars an acting world darling, Florence Pugh. Chris Pine is also named as part of the cast.
It seems like the project has already had a few bumps as Harry is stepping into Shia LaBeouf's role after he was forced to quit because of a time conflict. Still, it seems to be a priority for the production company because there was a major bidding war over the rights to Wilde's next film. Also, according to Deadline, there have been reports that the executives at Warner Bros have been anxious to find a new role for Harry ever since they saw his performance in Dunkirk.
As far as what the movie is actually about, no one knows super well. It's been called a thriller in a few headlines. Deadline describes it as, "set in an isolated, utopian community in the 1950s California desert." So I guess there's a Sci-Fi or speculative twist as well? This seems to be a far cry from his first project.
The screenplay is by Katie Silberman, though it was inspired by a spec script by Shane and Carey Van Dyke. Catherine Hardwicke is the executive producer along with the Van Dykes. Also producing are Wilde, Silberman, Roy Lee, and Miri Yoon.
While I'm not a huge fan of movies in general and the short summary doesn't seem like something I'd typically gravitate towards, I'm thrilled to see that the project seems mostly female driven from all standpoints from writing to direction to production. It also sounds more interesting to me than Dunkirk, which I'll admit I still haven't watched. War movies will never be my thing. Harry has also talked a lot about how he'd only go back to acting if he found a super compelling role. He seems to be selective and intentional about who he chooses to work for. Even though I haven't seen Harry act in a movie yet, I've seen plenty of his skits for SNL and James Corden, and he definitely has talent. I'm looking forward to seeing him in a full role, and I hope it has a bit of a comedic edge because he really doesn't get enough credit for his comedic timing and gift in that sense. It'll be interesting to see what the role entails and how he'll interact with the other actors. The internet is flipping out about Harry and Florence sharing the screen.
I'm glad Harry is finding new ways to flex his creative muscles in quarantine, though I'm always anxious about getting new music. He was recently spotted close to a recording studio in London (or there was a rumor) so that might also be in the works. I know that during Dunkirk, Harry gave up music for the duration of filming. I wonder if that will be the case again. At any rate, the COVID shutdown does offer plenty of space to work on a completely new project in a new field without disrupting music, which has always been his priority. Maybe being a part of these tested, contained film sets will offer Harry (and Halsey too) a safe way to get some new life experience to write about since our worlds have become so small in the last few months.
Are you excited about Harry's sophomore film? Let me know in the comments.
Also, make sure you read about Halsey's new project here.

This morning, Sasha Sloan released another new song off of her debut album, Only Child . This is the second song she's released since announcing the album, though a track list and a release date are still not out. If you missed my review of "Lie", the lead single, you can find that here . It was a much poppier sound than I'm used to with Sasha, and I was curious to see what else the album would have in store. She occupies a genre space somewhere between indie pop and singer songwriter type sounds (Apple calls it Alternative), and this album is looking like it'll show the entirety of that range. On "House With No Mirrors", we get a much more signature Sasha song. It has every element I love about her music baked into it. "House" is a super personal song about struggling with liking yourself and dealing with eating disorders. It's almost a wishful song about what she could be like if she could get out of her head and find that inner self-lo

(…) the takeaway lesson is that the intuitive idea that objects influence each other because they are close in space is soon to become another of those easy beliefs that turn out to be wrong when we look deeper. The smoothness of space is soon to become an illusion that hides a tiny and complex world of causal interactions, which do not live in space—but which rather define and create space as they create the future from the present.
understand properties of impact. We show that user impact tends to have certain characteristics: First, impact is clustered in time, such that the most impactful tweets of a user appear close to each other. Second, users commonly have 'hot streaks' of impact, i.e., extended periods of high-impact tweets. Third, impact tends to gradually build up before, and fall off after, a user's most impactful tweet. We attempt to explain these characteristics using various properties measured on social media, including the user's network, content, activity, and experience, and find that changes in impact are associated with significant changes in these properties. Our findings open interesting avenues for future research on virality and influence on social media.


Despite his success on WWE TV throughout the year, it would appear that Neville isn't happy with WWE right now.
Rumors emerged Tuesday that the former Cruiserweight Champion asked for his release. We can't verify as of yet whether or not that's true or if Neville was originally slated to win back the championship on the program, but we have been told by a source within WWE that they don't want to cut Neville loose if at all possible. We can also confirm that the match that happened wasn't the planned match.
Neville became a two-time Cruiserwieght Champion this year after making the jump from the heavyweight ranks. Since then he'd anchored the division until the rise of Enzo Amore, who would unseat him as champion at their September WWE No Mercy match.
Matt Jackson of The Young Bucks, Bullet Club and Elite already jumped on the news, seemingly sending Neville an offer via a Bullet Club shirt.

Gold Derby Emmy MVP: Eden Sher rises to top of 'The Middle'
Ralph Galvan
"I'm pretty sure at some point we'll get nominated for some stuff and my prediction is that Eden Sher as Sue Heck will be our first nominee!" proclaimed two-time Emmy champ Patricia Heaton about her co-star on "The Middle" back in 2011. Heaton, who plays Frankie Heck on ABC's most underrated comedy series, was referring to the actress who plays her hilariously dorky daughter Sue on the laffer.
For five years now, Sher has brought one of the most outrageous, endearing, and funny characters to life week after week with mountains of critical praise, nominations, and awards (Critics Choice, 2012) but has yet to receive any praise from the Emmys. It can be said that the TV academy is to Sher what high school is to Sue – a club that will require some grand feat for her to get any recognition, when in reality she should already be one of the most popular people there.
If you need proof of Sher's brilliant comedic timing and physical skills look no further than "Unbraceable You," the recent season six premiere. Sue begins her senior year in high school and declares it "The Year of Sue!" even though there's right away a snag in her plan as she's missed the first four days of school thanks to a calendar error.
Things may not have started out so slick but the big part of her goal was to finally, after eight long years, have her braces removed. Though her orthodontist (Richard Kind) advises against it Sue gets her braces off and a day later things start to go from great to bad as her teeth begin to shift. She concedes defeat from the universe and heads back to the orthodontist expecting to have her braces put back on but he tell her the fix can be made by wearing a retainer every night for a year, or: The Year of Sue! To celebrate the news, the Hecks go out for pizza and Sue puts her retainer in a napkin that ends up in the dumpster out back where all the family frantically look for it.
Gold Derby Emmy MVP: Matt Czuchry gives arresting 'Good Wife' performance
Sher shines throughout the episode but really gets to stand out in two particular spots. She displays impressive delivery during her rapid-fire rant to her mother explaining all the activities she missed and how she is now the only person in her senior class to still have her braces. We also get to see her impressive range during the scene where her braceless teeth start to go wrong. Sher wakes up and smiles in the mirror only to notice her teeth are starting to go every which way. She heads to the kitchen and gets plenty of confirmation from her family. Sue cracks and declares to the universe that she gives up and "You win!" She veers from happy to worried to sad to defeated in just 90 seconds and knocks each emotion out of the park. Hopefully the Emmys finally take notice and declare 2015 as "The Year of Eden!"
Can Sher follow Heaton's prediction and grab her first Comedy Supporting Actress Emmy nomination? Let's look at the pros and cons of this Gold Derby Emmy MVP:
Funny and outrageous win! If we look at recent winners like: Allison Janney, Julie Bowen, Jayne Lynch, Jaime Pressly, and Megan Mullally it's easy to see that Emmy loves crazy, laugh out loud characters for their Supporting Comedy Actresses, and there may be no character on TV that blends the two better than Sue Heck.
It's never too late to land a nomination and win. Just look to Sher's co-star Heaton who had to wait three years for her first nomination and four for her first (of two) Comedy Actress wins. Over in Drama Actress, Mariska Hargitay didn't land her first nomination for "Law & Order: SVU" until five years into her show and her first win caem after seven years.
So you're saying younger actors don't have a chance? It can happen, especially in the Comedy categories. In recent years Chris Colfer and Lea Michele ('Glee") and Frankie Muniz ("Malcolm in the Middle") have garnered Emmy nominations for their work. And before then there was a similar trend of younger stars getting their due with nominations for Sara Gilbert ("Roseanne") as well as "The Cosby Show" kids Lisa Bonet, Malcolm Jamal-Warner and Keshia Knight-Pulliam.
You decide: Who will win Golden Globes in the 11 TV categories?
It's been 20 years since the Supporting Comedy Actress category has brought in someone under the age of 25 into the club: Gilbert for "Roseanne." Not a good stat to go against especially seeing as there have been several young stars worthy of having broken this streak already (really Emmy voters, what does Sarah Hyland have to do before you notice how great she's been in your favorite show "Modern Family" for the past five years?).
"The Middle" hasn't ever been on Emmy's radar. In five seasons, it has managed to claim only one Emmy nomination (non-prosthetic make-up). And I remind you that this show stars a seven-time Emmy nominee and two-time winner. Point is, it's going to take a true breakout season for Emmy voters to turn their heads and take notice.
It's a crowded field in the Supporting Actress race. This past year, not even previous Emmy winner Merritt Wever ("Nurse Jackie") could make it back in thanks to the popularity of "Orange is the New Black" star Kate Mulgrew and Emmy champ Allison Janney for "Mom". And we'll see little attrition here as all this year's nominees will be eligible again plus more "Orange" ladies looking to claim a spot (including recent Guest Actress Comedy winner Uzo Aduba). Indeed, this field looks to be one of the most crowded and competitive we've seen in a long time.

Her hands shook, and her voice wavered.
But Vicky Foxcroft was determined.
"This is probably the hardest speech I have ever had to write and deliver," the British MP began, before taking a deep, shaky breath and embarking upon a heartbreaking story that she had kept secret from even her closest family and friends.
The MP explained that she was induced when she was 10 days overdue, but after hours of labour, her baby, Veronica, was born with the umbilical cord around her neck. She lived for five days before the life support machine was turned off.
Ms Foxcroft, who shared her story to mark Baby Loss Awareness Week, told the House of Commons that: "I got to hold her then for the first time, until her heartbeat eventually stopped. I never wanted to let her go. she was never able to cry, to smile, but I desperately loved her.
"I still love her. She is always in my thoughts, all these years afterwards, even if I don't talk about her all the time.
Ms Foxcroft revealed that she was so terrified of experiencing another loss that she never had children.
Her story brought many in the House of Commons to tears. The discussion was brought by fellow MPs Antoinette Sandwich and Will Quince, who have also both lost children, to raise awareness about pregnancy loss and boost support services for parents who have lost children.

Lindsey Racing felt there was a need for a better wastegate for the Porsche 944 Turbo. The factory wastegate just wasn't up to the task of increased performance. After testing of the stock wastegate, it was realized there was much room for improvement.
Well, we went and did it again. Finally a Dual Port wastegate allowing for complete boost control that is 100% bolt-on. No welding, cutting, drilling or any surprises what-so-ever. This one installs in the exact reverse order of removing the stock one. Other aftermarket wastegates fitted on the 944 Turbo will require exhaust and wastegate support hanger modifications.
Dual Port Configuration for boost level adjust-ability.
Heavier Stainless Steel actuator spring.
Anodized 6061 Aluminum diaphragm housing.
This is a true 100% bolt-on.
The factory wastegate is a single port wastegate meaning the signal pressure air is only applied to one side of the actuator diaphragm. The spring pressure is also weak on the factory unit allowing it to open with boost pressures as little as 1 to 2 pounds. Being limited to one port and a weak spring means the wastegate opens early (increased turbo lag) and the rate at which it opens and closes (boost level) is not adjustable.
Our dual port configuration allows for a second air signal on the opposite side of the diaphragm. The spring or control side. By adjusting this air pressure with a regulator (Manual Boost Controller) either up or down on this side is like changing the spring pressure. You want more boost? Your raise the pressure on the spring side and the wastegate closes. You want less boost? You lower the pressure on the spring side and the wastegate opens.
You will need a boost controller to adjust our wastegate or any dual port wastegate. We offer manual and electronic boost controllers.
Holding 15 psi or more of boost in high gears is no problem for this dual port design. Not only that, you can also turn the boost down to as low as 9 psi when conditions require.
If you're running a stock wastegate, you're probably losing boost the faster you go. Many customers had reported boost dwindling down to 11 psi or less in 4th gear with their stock wastegate. If you're shooting for 15, your 11 works out to be around a 40 horsepower loss in the high gears where you need it most.
The Lindsey Racing wastegate is manufactured utilizing parts from the original wastegate. We rebuild the factory hot housing side and add our dual port controller housing to it. Since the hot side of the wastegate is what bolts to the exhaust, you're guaranteed a "modification free" fit. All other wastegates for the 951 require exhaust and hanger modification. Otherwise known as the "undetermined and unknown expense". This is because they are not designed specifically for the 951 as ours is.
We require you to return your old wastegate to us for processing. We have a core charge that is fully refunded when we receive your old unit, providing it's a complete and rebuild-able candidate. A charge may be accessed for broken studs or missing parts. Or you can send us yours in advance for a no core charge exchange.
We pioneered the dual port wastegate conversion for the 951. As of March, 2003 we have over 350 of these dual ports out in the field in race cars and in street cars everywhere around the world. Since then, there has been more than one copy cat. Attempting to do all that we do in the conversion and do it for less. They soon realize that it's not easy, it's a lot of work, and you get back a lot of wastegates that need a lot of extra work to get them rebuilt and back in the field. Been there, done that, and learned from 3 years of experience. We have hundreds of old diaphragms that came out of the cores. Many burned up and torn or about to fail. We learned that using the old one is not possible. The factory spring, contrary to belief, does not significantly weaken over time. It's just not strong enough to begin with. We install a new one with a higher seat pressure. The design of our wastegate diaphragm housing duplicated the travel and stop position of the original wastegate. If this is not duplicated, you end up with less travel of the valve and it's ability to bleed off exhaust will be compromised. This is one of the main reasons our "Clubgate" wastegate was PCA Club Racing Approved. We install new valve seats and guides if necessary. Boost control of you car is critical. Overboost can cause pre-mature failure of head gaskets and possibly worse. Don't settle for cheap imitations or do-it-yourself dual port upgrades. Bank on our experience with a Lindsey Racing dual port 100% bolt-in wastegate backed up by a company with an excellent reputation.


One really fun thing about this blog, is the new people we've been able to meet through it. We chose to post/use our names and offer a way to reach us and knew that with that, there would come some not-so-nice comments, and even harsh criticism at times. If you are going to put yourself "out there," you've got to be ready for both sides. It has actually been good and has helped serve to make us thicker-skinned and more prepared to defend our position.
That decision, not to be anonymous, was deliberate and we've been tolerant when dealing with the negative because the fun and interesting people we meet and are blessed to correspond with are well worth it. Today we even got a fun email from Germany!
Most often we are asked about adoption or becoming a missionary and "what it takes." I am linking to one of the better answers I have seen to the "How do I become a missionary?" question. It is written by a man who has been serving in Haiti for 20 years. We love what he wrote, and agree with all of it.
We don't have much new to report on Lori or Phoebe. We're waiting for more details on both situations, hoping that tomorrow will bring news. We thank you so much for your kind and loving responses. You've blessed us!


A billowy cloak of shadows (also known as the cloak of shadows) was auctioned off at the Ebon Gate 2009 auction.
Note: As of February 2012 the cloak still had innumerable charges remaining on the stalk/hide bonus, and it has been in use fairly regularly since October 2009.
At first glance, the cloak seems tailored from some strange dark silk. But as the garment darkens and shifts, it becomes clear that the cloak is woven from the shadows themselves. Its folds are dark and thick but have the consistency of air, drifting about like a fog cloud on a murky day. The cloak almost seems alive at times, wavering in tandem with the shadows around it. Black tendrils break free to caress the surrounding gloom, as if yearning to return to the darkness from which the cloak was wrought.
As you open the cloak, the shadows retreat from around you.
As you close the cloak, you are bathed in the gloom of the shadows.
You tap your shadow cloak causing the shadows to ripple and reform around your finger. Pulling your hand away, the shadows withdraw from your finger and meld back into the cloak.
You press your hands into your cloak, causing them to be hidden from view. As you slowly remove your hands, the shadows trail away a small bit before reforming back into your cloak.
You grasp both of your shoulders and pull at your cloak, causing long, tendrils of shadow to weave in front of you before retreating back into your cloak.
You grab the collar-like part of your cloak of shadows and drape it across your face, causing your features to be masked from view for a moment.
You tug at the edge of your cloak and sway the shadowy draping back and forth, causing the ambient light to be absorbed into your garment.
Your shadow cloak spreads down to the ground, causing a pool of shadow to gather underneath you.
The shadows surrounding you dart out, probing the air around you before melding back in your cloak.
Your body relaxes as your thoughts stray from the shadows.
The residual strain on your mind of such intense focus on the shadows fades away.
Shadows reach around your body, fully encircling you, causing you to see nothing but black for a moment before they retreat once more.
Long, shadowy tendrils branch out from your cloak, as if dancing in the air before you.
The area around you grows dark causing your vision to flicker to black for a few moments.
The shadows around your cloak seem to lick the air, like flames.

The Canadian Securities Administrators (CSA) published final amendments that require fund managers to use a standardized CSA mutual fund risk classification methodology to determine the investment risk level of conventional mutual funds and exchange-traded mutual funds (ETFs) (collectively referred to as "mutual funds") in the Fund Facts and ETF Facts, respectively.
We think that a mandated standardized risk classification methodology will provide for greater transparency and consistency of investment risk levels across mutual funds," said Louis Morisset, Chair of the CSA and President and CEO of the Autorité des marchés financiers. "The use of such a methodology will allow investors to more readily compare the investment risk levels of different mutual funds.

Can Emma Stone Fill Cruella de Vil's Dog-Skin Coat?
Germain Lussier
Disney has already made a fortune off reinventing animated villains like Maleficent in live-action. And now, the latest of these films may have found its star. Emma Stone is in talks to play Cruella de Vil in a live-action 101 Dalmatians prequel called Cruella.
Written by Kelly Marcel (50 Shades of Grey, Saving Mr. Banks) Cruella is described as an origin story for the character whom we see in 101 Dalmatians as a well-to-do woman who wants to kill the dogs to create some cutting-edge fashion. You have to assume this movie will make her more sympathetic, and maybe show what she has against dogs in the first place.
Though there isn't a director yet attached to Cruella, Disney reportedly wants to get it filming by the end of the year. Having Stone on board should help that.
De Vil was previously brought to live-action when Glenn Close played the character in a 1996 remake of the original film.

Helga Zepp-LaRouche Addresses Institut Mandela Conference in Paris
July 15, 2018by Motoki Kasai in France SI activity, Helga statement, article, transcript
PARIS, July 10 – Schiller Institute President Helga Zepp-LaRouche was invited on July 6 to address the Institut Mandela for the African Economic and Consular Days in Paris.
Madame Zepp-LaRouche was invited on the subject "Partnership, Inclusive Growth and Infrastructure in Africa" following the publication of her call to the European Union to apply the model of the Singapore summit between President Trump and Chairman Kim Jong-un to a European development project for Africa. Her appeal, "History Is Now Being Written in Asia! The EU Summit Must Follow the Example of Singapore!" has been being circulated in the African networks in France, as well as throughout Europe.
The video of her remarks is available HERE and the transcript is below.
The first panel presented the "Singapore spirit" with the participation of the Ambassador of Eritrea, speaking on the end of the war with Ethiopia and the economic perspective of the biggest free trade zone in Djibouti, for real cooperation in the region.
Following her presentation was Ghana's Minister Plenipotentiary and Deputy Head of Mission Bonaventure Adjavor at the Paris Embassy, who developed the concept of a new era for Africa—a new era of manufacturing from raw materials, and no longer merely exporting them. He used the example of cocoa, of which Ghana and Ivory Coast have 80% of world production, all of which goes for export. But he described that cocoa can be a primary material for manufacturing many products, including brandy, body lotion, chocolate, etc., and that the policy of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's government is to do that.
President Akufo-Addo, then newly elected, is famous for his public lecture to visiting French President Emmanuel Macron during their joint press conference on Dec. 4, 2017, in which Akufo-Addo said Africa "can no longer continue to make policy for ourselves … on the basis of whatever support that the Western world or France, or the European Union can give us…. We have to get away from this mindset of dependency. … Our concern should be what do we need to do in this 21st century to move Africa away from being cap in hand … to have a mindset that says we can do it … and once we have that mindset we'll see there's a liberating factor for ourselves."
Helga Zepp-LaRouche then spoke, defining the long-term perspective for Africa and the world, presenting the World Land-Bridge report and the physical project for Africa within the framework of the Belt and Road dynamic, as in Ethiopia with the high-speed train. She also presented the other projects the Schiller Institute has developed or promoted including the Transaqua project, and the extension of the World Land-Bridge into Africa via a tunnel between Spain and Morocco and/or between Sicily and Tunisia.
The audience was very challenged by the optimistic vision of Africa, as Mrs. Zepp-LaRouche showed the photograph of Africa from space at night, as it is now, and as it would be, all lit up, in 2050.
All 40 people in the room and on the panels were members of institutions, such as the International Organization of La Francophonie, and lawyers, entrepreneurs, public relations, etc.
The next speaker was the president of the Efficiency Club, formed by the Diaspora and first pan-African economic network of Europe. They are trying to stop the flow of remissions from the diaspora to Africa just to help their families survive. He developed the necessity to create a network of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) throughout the continent to provide jobs and not just subsistence on money.
Then a final panel was very interesting, with one of the panelists bringing in the economics of Alexander Hamilton, and how Africa has to go with this manufacturing economy. He also mentioned that Colbert had called Huygens and Cassini to France to develop a real science academy, and asserted that Africa has to do the same today. Many contacts were made … our time is now.
The Institut Mandela is dedicated to the strategic mission of Africa's emergence as well as the "open society" values of peace through "intellectual diplomacy." Its proposals are conveyed to public policymakers, the international community, private actors, and civil society, so that they can make visionary decisions. Its fundamental mission is to reorganize intellectually and institutionally the African countries.
The Institut's activities revolve around six research areas:
Security and Development, Emergence of Africa, Geopolitics and Geostrategy of raw materials, Africanization of democracy, Prospects of African governance, Energy and Environment.
The Mandela Prizes are awarded annually to personalities or institutions to acknowledge their laudable actions in favor of Africa and peace, in the spirit of Pan-Africanism.
Transcript of Helga Zepp-LaRouche's remarks:
There is a profound reason for optimism for the African continent, because with the rise of China, and especially the New Paradigm which emerged with the Belt and Road Initiative, the world has been changing, especially in the last five years with an incredible speed. What China has done with the New Silk Road is to develop a new model of relations among each other, and it is an initiative which is open to all nations of the world.
So this map is actually a map of uniting all continents through tunnels and bridges, and as we can see, African development is an integral part of this world development.
What has happened is that with the offer to have a win-win cooperation, where according to the Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, already 140 nations are participating, in various degrees, the spirit of the New Silk Road has actually captured the imagination of many countries in Africa, in Asia, and in Latin America, who see for the first time the concrete possibility to overcome poverty and underdevelopment in the short term.
In the last ten, but especially five years, what China has done is to create development potentials after centuries of colonialism and decades of IMF conditionalities, which were designed to prevent African and Third World development in general.
With this new change in the strategic situation there is the absolute perspective of turning Africa into a global powerhouse.
There has been a study published last November, that Africa is going to be the next factory of the world, and the Russian International Affairs Council, RIAC, just put out new figures showing the positive role of China in the development of Africa.
In 2000, the total trade between China and African states was $10 billion only. In 2014, the China was already Africa's main trading partner, with a trade volume of $200 billion, and in 2017 China gave additional loans of more than $100 billion.
(Next) Naturally, this is the Djibouti-Addis Ababa railway, which was built with Chinese help; it's 750km long, and it now allows also to bring food aid to areas which are hit by drought which was not possible before. And this is just the very beginning. China also has developed a China-Africa Development Fund, which is financed by the China Development Fund, and also many of the other state banks of China have been involved in direct investments. Over the last decade, China took part in the creation of more than 100 industrial zones, 40% of which are already operational. They have helped to build 5,756km of railway, 4335km of motorways, 9 ports, 14 airports, 34 power stations, 10 large and 1,000 small hydroelectric power stations, and by the end of 2016, it had this number.
This coming September, there will be a big China-African Union summit which obviously will take this relationship to a new level.
There is a fundamental change, because previously the Western countries refused to invest in a real way in Africa, but with the second largest economy of the world, there is now the chance for African nations to replicate the Chinese model of development, each in their own African way. But nevertheless, in terms of the infrastructure and industrial development they can take China as a model, which after all, in the last 40 years had an incredible transformation, from being a very, very underdeveloped country, to now being an absolutely breathtaking, dynamic economy.
This is the positive side. On the other side, we are confronted with unprecedented challenges: Terrorism, financial turbulence, migrants, and a large percentage of the 68.5 million refugees worldwide are migrating from Africa, trying to get through the Sahara, many of them dying of thirst; or drowning in the Mediterranean, where in the last years, thousands if not tens of thousands of people have drowned.
Since the refugee crisis escalated in Southwest Asia and Africa in 2015, it became very clear how deeply disunited the European Union is. And especially in the recent weeks there was a total government crisis in Germany, which nearly ended the political career of Chancellor Merkel. There was demonstrated a complete erosion of the EU: No unity, no solidarity, tensions between France and Italy, total tensions between Eastern Europe and Western Europe. And it is also very clear that they could not come up with any solution, because all they could propose at the recent EU summit was a complete brutalization of the migrant issue: They want to militarize Frontex, to supposedly keep the refugees out of the EU, which is sort of a maritime border police, and there were event proposals to use the German army or even NATO, to put the refugees into "disembarkment camps," as they call them, either within Europe or in North African states, all of which already have rejected to be the hosts of such camps.
And Pope Francis has compared these camps to the concentration camps of the Nazi period.
So, what has happened to "Western values"? What about human rights? What about democracy? These are barbarian proposals, and they're not only inhuman, but they also will not work. They will not work: They all the time talk about that one needs to look at the root causes for the refugee crisis, but they never do.
So, I have a proposal how this can be changed: I call it the "Singapore Summit model." We all have witnessed the very historic summit between President Trump and President Kim Jong-un of North Korea recently in Singapore. And it is very clear that it {is} the New Silk Road Spirit which has changed the environment in Asia, which made this summit possible in the way it took place, and it is also an example of how you can change, within a few months, a relationship of complete adversity and the potential trigger of a large nuclear war, which was the situation between the United States and North Korea, and turn it into cooperation. This agreement now includes the denuclearization of North Korea, in exchange for the promise from the United States, China and Russia to help to develop North Korea economically, and turn it into a prosperous nation.
My proposal was that the EU should have changed the agenda of their just-concluded summit, invite Chinese President Xi Jinping, and the African heads of state who already have successfully cooperated with China; and then present a comprehensive crash program for the development of the infrastructure in Africa. (Next slide) Where the presence of Xi Jinping would give this credibility, because China has delivered on development, and the idea would be to present such an integrated, continental transport plan, a trans-African transport network, which already has been proposed by Foreign Minister Wang Yi in 2014, and reiterated in 2016.
If these leaders, the Europeans, the Africans, and the Chinese leader would say that it is our intent to make a crash program for such a development, then this would be a signal to the young people now running away, risking their life in drowning in the Mediterranean, or ending up in a concentration camp, to participate in the economic buildup of their own country.
At the recent visit of French President Macron in Ghana, Ghana's President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo basically told Macron that, we don't need your development aid crumbs; what we need is a real investment. And he called on the youth that they should not try to get to Europe, but that this energy these young people have should be used to build up the country. This would require training centers, very much like what Franklin D.
Roosevelt did with the New Deal, the CCC program, training especially young people in the Civilian Conservation Corps; and then, such a summit, making such a declaration of intent, could be like the Singapore Summit, a complete turnaround.
I think we have to use, also, Xi Jinping's notion of "sustainability." Not to mean "appropriate technologies," which in reality means no technology, and not sustainability which means only green solar and wind, but it means total infrastructure and industrialization as the new definition of sustainability.
African nations do not have to repeat all the levels and phases of the industrialization of the Western countries, but like China they can leapfrog to the most advanced technologies, such as focussing on high-speed trains, on magnetic levitation, on the fourth generation nuclear power. Party of this plan should be, first, a regional infrastructure investment bank, like the AIIB for Asia,— like an African Infrastructure Investment Bank—and that should be parallelled with national credit mechanisms, or national banks, to have the internal financing of the infrastructure.
Secondly, there should be an integrated network of high-speed trains, waterways between rivers and lakes, the full development of hydropower projects, the fourth general of nuclear electricity generation, and desalination of large amounts of ocean water for irrigation. Also, as the Ambassador of Ghana already said this morning, there should not be the export of raw materials, at least not only, but high-end petrochemical and metallurgy, semi-finished and finished products upgrade the value chain in the country.
In addition, there should be a Green Revolution, not in the sense of the Greenies of Europe, but in the sense of the Green Revolution of Jawaharlal Nehru, who transformed the agriculture of India in this way. You need disease- and drought-resistant plants, modern food-processing, and addition, you need certain large-scale projects, such as (next slide) the tunnel through the Strait of Gibraltar which is an eminently doable project, because a feasibility study has already been concluded; a state treaty between Spain and Morocco does exist, so one could start to build this immediately. Also, a bridge or a tunnel, as we see in the picture on my right, between Sicily and Tunisia, which could be built, with a couple of islands in between, and integrate the European development with that of Africa. And naturally, also a high-temperature reactor in South Africa should be promoted.
(Next slide) The biggest infrastructure project ever, in the history of Africa, is Transaqua. In February of this year, there took place a big conference in Abuja, with the presidents of all of the countries of the Lake Chad Basin, who concluded that the only way to save Lake Chad, which now has dried out to about 10% of its original size, and fill it up through the water from some of the tributaries of the Congo River, from a 500 meter height, and then, through gravitation, you could bring this water all the way to Lake Chad, and not only have an inland shipping lane for all the participating countries, hydropower, large amounts of water for irrigation and refill Lake Chad. This would transport up to 100 billion cubic meters of water annually, and as I said, Lake Chad would again have the size of 25 square km — now it's only one-tenth of that. This has been adopted by this Abuja conference and then a treaty was concluded between PowerChina, which is a large, Chinese engineering firm — which is famous for having built the Three Gorges Dam, so they are very knowledgeable and experienced in making such big projects together with the Italian engineering firm Bonifica. The Italian government at that conference, announced that they are paying EU1.5 million to have a feasibility ready in one year; and this is also a perfect model for a tripartite cooperation among African nations, China, and in this case, a European nation, Italy.
This will be not a long-term project. The leading engineer of PowerChina announced at the conference that they are confident that they can finish this project in 12 years, and it will be an industrialization in the heart of Africa which can have complete transformational character.
(Next) People's Daily already last August wrote an article about this, giving credit for this Transaqua project to the LaRouche movement and the Schiller Institute, because, we over the last three decades worked in many conference, advertising this to many people, and finally got the connection between PowerChina and Bonifica; and it's now a state treaty between China and Italy. (Next) They emphasize in particular the role of our efforts in that.
This is, as I said, one of the results of our decades' long work to help to industrialize Africa. (Next) This is a book which has a total plan for the industrialization of Africa which we already wrote in 1976, and this book was published in 1978.
So as you can see, this is not pouring from the heaven, but this movement, from the very beginning of the ideas of my husband, Lyndon LaRouche, stood for the industrial transformation of the southern hemisphere, simply because it's the only way how you alleviate poverty, and create a good living standard for all the people.
(Next) In 1980, with the Lagos Plan of Action was published, my husband wrote a commentary to it, which already then was a very important conceptual approach how to tackle this problem of underdevelopment, by creating a continental infrastructure plan, new cities, science cities, and the education of the youth in particular. And we campaigned for this, for over really four decades;
(Next) The total work of this went into "The New Silk Road Becomes the World Land-Bridge," which we published in 2014, after Xi Jinping announced the New Silk Road. And just about one week ago, we put out the World Land-Bridge report second edition, which has an updated plan for how to do this.
We conducted many conferences in Sudan, for the five countries around the Nile, how they could work together on development. And I also addressed an economic summit in Abuja in 1997.
In Europe we conducted many campaigns with the headline "The Future of Europe Lies in Africa."
I think the application of the Singapore model is quite possible: Because the new Chancellor of Austria Sebastian Kurz, who is for one-half year the president of the European Union Council, has announced that he wants to conduct an EU-Africa summit before the end of the year. Now, Austria, while having a hard line on the migrants, on the other side, has in their coalition document of the two coalition parties in the government, a whole chapter that Austria wants to become the hub for the New Silk Road. And there are also many Central and Eastern European nations, Balkan nations, Southern European nations that all want to be the hub — for example, Spain and Portugal want to be not only the terminus of the Eurasian Silk Road towards the West, but they want to be the hub to the Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries around the world.
If they all cooperate on the New Silk Road this would be the way to do this, and since the refugee crisis will not go away, until you change, fundamentally, the policy towards an industrialization of Africa, I think this crisis can be turned into an chance. What the Schiller Institute is doing right now, and I would encourage all of you to help and do the same, is to have a full mobilization of all European nations and in Africa, which agree to actually put pressure on behalf of this perspective; and present the EU at this upcoming summit with the concrete outline of the necessary investments, with the participation of China, but also involve other countries, like India, Japan, even the United States, and do likewise. That if one approaches it like China — China builds a high-speed train, and I saw it with my own eyes, from Lanzhou to Urumqi in half a year — by doing it, by not simply building it one step after the other, but by starting to build it at 10 different places or even 20 different places. (Next slide) So if you had such a concrete plan you could start building it at many places at the same time.
We have outlined what projects could be in these two reports — we published one full report which is called "Extending the New Silk Road to West Asia and Africa," which has many of these projects in it.
(Next slide) The left picture is, if you look at the electrification by night, this is how Africa is now. If one would go in the direction I just suggested, to extend the New Silk Road to Africa through a collaborative effort of all nations, then the African night sky could like the righthand picture, which is about equivalent of what you would see in the United States or Europe.
So, I think that this would turn Africa into a modern, prosperous continent, where all citizens would enjoy a safe, and happy and long life. So if we all act together in the spirit, Africa will be the new China with African characteristics.

Christine Kenneally is an award-winning journalist and author who has written for The New Yorker, The New York Times, Slate, Time, New Scientist, Scientific American, The Monthly, and other publications. Her books, The Invisible History of the Human Race: How DNA and History Shape Our Identities and Our Futures and The First Word: The Search for the Origins of Language, are published by Viking Penguin. Before becoming a reporter, she received a Ph.D. in linguistics from Cambridge University and a B.A. (Hons) in English and Linguistics from Melbourne University. She was born and raised in Melbourne, Australia, and has lived in England, Iowa, and Brooklyn, New York (ckenneally at ckenneally dot com). For the last four years she has been a senior contributor at Buzzfeed News, working on an American orphanage story.
Data, the creation of history and its impact on real lives
In the 21st century most people think of personal data as fitness tracking from their Fitbit or the trail of where they have been on the web, and there is great concern about their information privacy. Yet many people who grew up in orphanages and institutions of the 20th century — and who are alive today — experienced a loss of personal information that few people outside those institutions could imagine. The children of 20th century orphanages often had no idea when their birthdays were, because they were never told and birthdays were rarely celebrated. Often institutionalized children did not know the names of their parents or siblings, or even that they had siblings at all, even when their siblings lived at the same institution. At its most stark, the stripping away of personal data included the fact that in many catholic institutions in Australia and the United States, children were assigned a number when they first entered the institution, and they were thereafter addressed by number rather than name. In one case, a child didn't hear another person say their name aloud until after the age of ten. Many had no idea who they were, where they had come from, or who their people were. Crucially, they also didn't know that other people knew such things about themselves, so although they grew up in a world that had most of their personal information stripped out of it, they were not aware of its absence.
They felt the effects of that void, nevertheless. The disappearing of personal history and other information, frequently coupled with the impact of terrible abuse, created a population of adults, in which many struggle with the effect of addiction, a fear of institutions, and other challenges, at the same time that they try to recoup their personal information.
A case study comparison between the world of child institutions of 20th century Australia and the United States illuminates the potentially enormous impact of responsible data curation. In Australia, a highly energized activist group, multiple government inquiries, and deeply engaged members of the archivist community mean that the history of "care leavers" is relatively familiar to the community at large. This state is especially characterized by a completely novel information provider, evidence-base, and story repository known as Find & Connect. By contrast, in the United States, the history of orphanages is almost entirely invisible. Even as the residents of orphanages were anonymized and disappeared by their institutions, the institutions themselves have now almost entirely vanished. Most Americans believe that orphanages belong to a bygone era, and that they closed the 19th century, but there were 100s still active in the 1960s. Even as the trauma of the institutions still impacts former residents and their families, the record is almost lost.
I will present a case study of information security and information entropy in the history of childcare institutions in Australia and the United States, focusing on the key points of difference, which include the role of data curators and powerful individuals, government inquiries, journalism, and transitional justice, with a view to illuminating the critical role that data curators have to play, not just in the creation of history, but in its impact on individual lives.

Dr Patricia Brennan
Patricia Flatley Brennan, RN, PhD, is the Director of the National Library of Medicine (NLM), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). The NLM is the world's largest biomedical library and the producer of digital information services used by scientists, health professionals and members of the public worldwide.
Since assuming the directorship in August 2016, Dr. Brennan has positioned the Library to be the hub of data science at NIH and a national and international leader in the field. She spearheaded the development of a new strategic plan that envisions NLM a platform for biomedical discovery and data-powered health. Leveraging NLM's heavily used data and information resources, intramural research, and extramural research and training programs, Brennan aims for NLM to accelerate data driven discovery and health, engage with new users in new ways, and develop the workforce for a data-driven future.
Dr. Brennan came to NIH from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she was the Lillian L. Moehlman Bascom Professor at the School of Nursing and College of Engineering. She also led the Living Environments Laboratory at the Wisconsin Institutes for Discovery, which develops new ways for effective visualization of high dimensional data.
A past president of the American Medical Informatics Association, Dr. Brennan was elected to the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences (now the National Academy of Medicine) in 2001. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, the American College of Medical Informatics, and the New York Academy of Medicine.
Jumping into the stream of data curation
Realizing the promise of data-driven discovery requires engagement with advanced data management strategies from the inception of a research idea through responsible reporting of results into a future of perpetual access and reuse of the data. As the largest collection of biomedical research and data in the world, the US National Library of Medicine (NLM) plays key roles in support of data-driven discovery, including serving as custodian of key data assets (e.g. dbGaP, ClinicalTrials.gov), core contributor to the National Institutes of Health Strategic Plan for Data Science, and promotor of health data standards. In addition, the NLM supports research designed to accelerate data curation, including computational approaches to curation at scale, strategies to de-bias existing data assets, and development of tools that bring the value of data-driven discovery into the hands of patients. The NLM's own long range plan envisions a future where new work processes must be devised to leverage up-stream investment in curation at the point of data generation and down-stream strategies to locate, re-use, and enrich data resources.

A Fixed Income Predicament: The Case for a Flexible, Active Approach
Loomis Sayles PM Matt Eagan discusses the low yield environment currently challenging fixed income markets, and the benefits of an active approach.
Are Bidenomics the Beginning of a New Economic Era?
How the new administration is rewriting the economic rulebook
By Jack Janasiewicz, CFA®
The Covid-19 pandemic has been a human tragedy on a grand scale.
It has also been the most sudden, wide-ranging and dramatic economic crisis for generations.
In response, the Biden administration has proposed enormous spending plans aiming to both sustain the recovery and radically increase the size of the American state.
Are Joe Biden's economic policies the end of forty years of post-Reagan orthodoxy? And what could they mean for investors' long-term strategies?
Jack Janasiewicz, CFA®, Senior Vice President, Portfolio Strategist and Portfolio Manager at Natixis Advisors, breaks down where Bidenomics might take the US economy.
Jack Janasiewicz, CFA®
Senior Vice President, Portfolio Strategist and Portfolio Manager
Natixis Advisors
For a very long time, inflation was the priority: Now we're seeing price stability placed as secondary to employment, which is a change in emphasis with enormous real-world consequences.
The world has obviously changed fast over the past year. Are we entering a new era in how the US government intervenes in markets?
For me, the big hinge point has been the realization that monetary policy can only do so much. For some years now, we've been relying on the Fed to stimulate growth, whether through quantitative easing or cutting rates. The problem has always been that multiplier effects get dampened when you put all this money out there and nobody gets to spend it, and recent events have magnified this. So, on those terms, the Biden administration's pivot to spending on such a grand scale feels consequential.
It's also part of a long-term trend: Rates have trended downward for so long that we've become a much more leveraged economy than we were 15 years ago. This reduces the incremental benefits of cutting rates, so again the multiplier effect gets dampened down. There had to be a switch at some point, and we're seeing it now. For a very long time, inflation was the priority: Now we're seeing price stability placed as a secondary priority to employment, which is a change in emphasis with enormous real-world consequences.
However, it remains to be seen how permanent this is. Covid was obviously an emergency, but as we hopefully move on and the general picture reverts to something like normality, it's an open question how comfortable lawmakers will be with this level of fiscal aggression.
Some commentators have gone as far as to say Biden's policies represent a decisive break with the economic orthodoxies of the past forty years. Is that fair?
I get why people like those hyperbolic headlines – they do resonate. But if you look back to part of the package Trump campaigned on in 2016, he talked a lot about infrastructure, so this has been in the air for a while.
Also, I don't want to get too into things like social unrest, but one of the biggest challenges facing the US is the gap between the haves and the have-nots, and that has been without a doubt a factor in the turbulence we've seen in recent years. I don't think there's going to be a revolution any time soon, but with Covid we've seen what happens when a huge risk that usually belongs in science fiction films actually comes true. There's no doubt that changes how people think.
So you have this mixed picture, where Covid has opened up what's possible, but we also have a mentality where policymakers are now taking seriously the risks that were once thought unthinkable. It comes down to either not addressing the widening wealth gap and risking social instability in the future, or Biden creating the more inclusive economy he talks about. We can argue about this or that policy, but I certainly think it's better if this works.
Inflation is often raised as a potential outcome of Biden's policies. Would you agree?
When economists talk about inflation, they're usually talking about the seventies, and it's important to keep in mind that today we face a totally different structural picture to back then. Whether it's the influence of organized labor or the impact of the 1973 oil crisis, the world is just so different in so many ways to that period that I don't think it's a useful comparison.
I think a lot of commentators don't appreciate that inflation is a very difficult thing to generate. If we were looking to recreate the inflation picture of fifty years ago, we'd need money demand to pick up in aggregate. If you look at the credit metrics from the banks, we're just not seeing it. Banks will happily lend, but the demand is pretty tepid.
In the short term, a lot of bottlenecks that have been resulting from supply chain disruption and so on can certainly result in commodity inflation, but that's a supply and demand issue – not a structural threat.
What about if we look longer-term?
When you look long-term, you need to look at demographics. Right now, we've got the Millennial generation of people born in the eighties moving into the sweet spot of their high-earning years while the Baby Boomers are retiring and – being frank – ceasing to be productive members of their economy. It's a numbers game: there are a lot of Boomers exiting the economy, so that's a significant deflationary pressure we can assume for some time.
Also, as online retail matures in the US, you have an additional deflationary pressure. In that it aids price discovery – It makes price discovery incredibly easy, which is highly like to push prices down.
Then you've got the deglobalization argument. Chinese labor isn't as cheap as it used to be, so if a significant amount of global manufacturing activity moved to, say, Mexico, that would keep margins fat.
These are the real structural factors, not the bumps along the way to the normalization of economic activity.
The conventional wisdom is that interest rates will remain very low for the foreseeable future. How does that shape the picture as we look forward?
I would again take it back to supply and demand. I think it's very under-appreciated that there's just not enough assets in the world. We can see this if we look at price-insensitive buyers like insurers and pension funds – their demand is growing all the time, especially at time when the Baby Boom generation is retiring in huge numbers, which is in turn driving demand for fixed income assets.
We should place this into the picture of the ongoing action by central banks, where they are taking bonds out of the system, pushing rates down and trying to incentivize people up the risk spectrum. It's likely that the central banks are going to hold these bonds to maturity, keeping them off the secondary market and creating more demand for high-quality fixed income assets. This is leading these big bond buyers to turn to emerging markets, where the demographic picture is positive for long-term assets.
I think that while rates aren't going to stay this low forever, these factors should keep a lid on them in any future we can credibly anticipate.
One impact of low interest rates has been to sustain asset prices at consistent record highs. This prompted talk of a bubble in early 2021, but that's faded away somewhat now.
There's no denying American equities have done pretty well – but just because something's up a lot, it doesn't mean it's in a bubble.
Are there pockets of excess in the market? Without a doubt. Have markets been distorted somewhat by the huge amount of savings affluent households were able to make through 2020? Also true, to an extent. But are we talking about a bubble?
Well, look at it like this: If I'm a Millennial saving for retirement, I'm almost forced into equities thanks to low bond yields. As we've already talked about, you've got more money coming into the system chasing the same number of assets – or fewer, given there are still not as many listed equities in the US as there were in the late nineties. Supply and demand kicks in again: It's Economics 101.
If we wanted signs of a bubble, I would look more to sentiment indicators – the proverbial cab driver who wants to talk about his stock portfolio. Otherwise, as long as we remain in the present interest rate environment, I think there'll be ongoing confidence in American equities.
If we're thinking about long-term strategies, where do we place foreign exchange risk in our thinking?
I think the easiest way to think about the dollar is the famous "dollar smile," where at one extreme growth is so strong relative to the rest of the world that capital is drawn to the US, which in turn drives up the dollar.
At the other extreme, however, you have the Armageddon scenarios where the dollar acts as a safe haven as the world goes to hell in a handbasket. This increase in demand also drives up the dollar.
In between these extremes, you have an environment where growth is more homogenous around the world, and the good times mean higher risk appetites, which means more demand for emerging market equities. Covid compressed all three of these scenarios into a very short period of time.
What does this mean? It means that the value of the dollar as we move forward is going to be a product of the interaction between Biden's expansionary policies and the global growth picture. There are a lot of uncertainties here, but if the market was expecting a big inflation kick in the US, you'd expect that to be priced into the rate backdrop, and we're not seeing that.
With that in mind, I think it's easiest to fall back on that dollar smile framework. It doesn't get too complicated, and there's a lot of truth in it. I certainly don't think the paranoia in some quarters about deficit spending debasing the dollar is justified – we've heard that story for fifty years, and guess what? The dollar is still the global reserve currency, and it will continue to be for a very long time.
Covid has been the proverbial 'black swan', even if experts had warned a pandemic was all but inevitable at some point. What do you think are the main risks policymakers and investors aren't taking seriously enough?
I think cryptocurrencies are definitely at or near the top of the list. They are often described as non-correlated assets, but at one point you could buy your Tesla with Bitcoin. They're more interconnected with the wider market than many people think, and the size of the crypto market has become significant. We need to think more about and understand better the relationships between crypto and conventional assets.
To take that further, you can make a case for the crypto market as the new risk barometer.
Everybody in our industry looks at the spreads in high yield bonds as a risk indicator, with good reason, but the probability of contagion spreading from crypto to other markets is far from zero. If we look at all the policies enacted after the financial crisis of 2008, you can point to some success in preventing contagion – indeed, a banking crisis is pretty much the only thing that didn't happen in 2020. That means you need to think about where the vulnerabilities are in the system that haven't been anticipated or accounted for by policymakers.
I don't think we're in any serious risk of crypto causing a 2008-style disaster any time soon, but when you think about how far ahead the technology is of any real scrutiny of its risks, and combine that with the almost total lack of regulation in the space, it's definitely something to think about.
Then, on a somewhat connected note, you have cybersecurity risk. The ransom that was paid after the Colonial Pipeline hack in May 2021 was paid in Bitcoin. I think it's safe to say that ransomware attacks like these aren't going anywhere any time soon. It's likely that governments are going to crack down on this kind of thing, especially as these hackers appear to be getting greedy and drawing attention to themselves.
How successful these efforts will be remains to be seen, but there's absolutely no doubt that there is a huge risk of a far bigger and more malicious attack, and it could come from people who aren't interested in any ransom.

Q: Find digits (below certian number) on the page from specific work until specific last word is found Would like some support here with a Regex.
Regular expression:
(\scaptain\s.*b([1-9]|[12][0-9]|3[01])\s[0-4][0-9][0-9]\s.*morgan\s)

Test string:
bla bla bla captain bla bla 1 250 2 450 9 501 11 900 21 900 30 400 31 1023 morgan bla bla bla

Question: Match a 3 digit number below 500 after the word "captain"and until the word "morgan" appears.
Goal: Match the 3 digit number below 500
All support much appreciated!

A: You could do that with positive and negative lookahead:
\b[0-4][0-9][0-9]\b(?=.*morgan)(?!.*captain)

*

*\b word break

*[0-4][0-9][0-9] and number from 000 to 499

*(?=.*morgan)has to be followed by morgan somewhere

*(?!.*captain) can not be followed by captain anywhere

if you don't want to have 000 to 099 included then it would be
\b[1-4][0-9][0-9]\b(?=.*morgan)(?!.*captain)
What is not covered is, that the string has to contain captain.
