'Breaching Ghana laws not part of ECOWAS treaty' – PEF on non-citizens retailing
Nana Osei Bonsu is CEO of PEF
The Private Enterprise Federation (PEF) has called on foreigners in Ghana to respect local laws on business establishment and trade.
CEO of PEF, Nana Osei Bonsu, said it was unfortunate that some foreign nationals, particularly those from the West African sub-region cite the ECOWAS treaty on free movement of goods and people as justification for breaching Ghana's regulation on trading.
"This open trading is to allow everybody to meet the requirements of the respective countries to do the trading. I don't see anything in the ECOWAS treaty that once we sign on this treaty, there are no laws in the respective countries.
"It didn't say that. It says you can have free movement of goods and people but once you get to the country, if you need a drivers license to drive and you don't have it you got to be arrested," he said Thursday.
Nana Osei Bonsu made the comments on the business edition of PM Express following renewed agitation by Ghanaians business owners in Suame, a suburb of Kumasi, against Nigerian retailers.
Shops belonging to Nigerian traders were shut down by Ghanaians who vowed to evict foreigners from the market.
The Suame traders said their call is not to intimidate foreigners trading in the country but rather to encourage authorities to implement the statutory laws in the sector without fear or favour.
Ghana's law does not allow non-Ghanaians or non-citizens to operate in that market of sale of goods and provision of services in the market, petty trading, hawking, taxi services, operation of beauty salons and barbering shops.
The Ghana Investment Promotion Act (2013) states the following:
A person who is not a citizen or an enterprise which is not wholly owned by citizen shall not invest or participate in—
a. the sale of goods or provision of services in a market, petty trading or hawking or selling of goods in a stall at any place;
b. the operation of taxi or car hire service in an enterprise that has a fleet of less than twenty-five vehicles;
c. the operation of a beauty salon or a barber shop; d. the printing of recharge scratch cards for the use of subscribers of telecommunication services; e. the production of exercise books and other basic stationery;
f. the retail of finished pharmaceutical products;
g. the production, supply and retail of sachet water; and
h. all aspects of pool betting business and lotteries, except football pool.
However, a non-citizen may participate in these markets in the case of a joint enterprise with a partner who is a citizen, invests a foreign capital of not less than $200,000 in cash or capital goods relevant to the investment or a combination of both by way of equity participation and the partner who is a citizen does not have less than 10% equity participation in the joint enterprise.
The Private Enterprise Federation CEO has called on state authorities to enforce the law to the letter and prevent the long-standing feud between Nigerian and Ghanaian traders from recurring.
Richard Ampaabeng, an International trade consultant, who also spoke on the current affairs programme on Thursday, had the government enforced the GIPC Act, the recurrent problems would have been solved.
"Where we are now, which is causing friction, we should have completed a long time ago, he said.

October 15, 2015 by DEB Science Staff
Upcoming Deadlines for DEB Supplements and other Summer Opportunities
It's that time of year again when we remind our active grantees about the education and broadening participation supplements available to DEB awards.
Additional details on the components to include in each type of supplement request and information on budgets can be found on-line at http://www.nsf.gov/bio/deb/suppopp.jsp
Requests for this set of DEB supplements should be submitted by Tuesday December 1st, 2015 and the first Tuesday in December annually thereafter. DEB treats our December date as a deadline in the sense that later requests are considered only if there are remaining funds and sufficient time to process the request before the intended start date. All requests must be submitted through FastLane.
Supplement Types:
Research Experiences for Teachers (RET)
Research Assistantships for High School Students (RAHSS)
Research Opportunity Awards (ROA)
Additional REU Options for Dimensions of Biodiversity PIs only:
Dimensions Broadening Participation Research Experiences for Undergraduates (D-BP-REU)
NOTE: The US-Brazil International Research Experiences for Undergraduates (IREU) opportunity is no longer available.
Other types of supplement requests should be discussed with your program officer. If you have any additional questions, please contact the relevant DEB Program (check the DEB staff listings on the NSF website).
Supplements are only available to PIs and co-PIs with active DEB awards. Please note that some of the special programs accept supplement requests, and others do not. If your program is not listed here, and/or if you have questions about supplement eligibility for your current award, please contact your cognizant Program Officer.
Program RET RAHSS ROA REU D-BP-REU
Core DEB Y Y Y Y N
EEID Y Y Y Y N
Dimensions of Biodiversity N N N N Y
Genealogy of Life Y Y Y Y N
Before submitting a supplement request, here are a few things to keep in mind:
no supplements can be awarded if there are any overdue project reports associated with anyone on the award including co-PIs and all members of a collaborative project
supplemental funds must be expended by the expiration date of the original award
the IRB/IACUC documentation must be up-to-date and include the time frame of the supplement
if the award budget already included Participant Support funds to support students or teachers, you must clearly explain the extenuating circumstances leading to the request for more such funding
as budgets allow, DEB typically provides funds for one REU student per year, but will consider supporting two REU students if the PI can demonstrate a unique opportunity for broadening participation from traditionally underrepresented groups in the biological sciences.
Supplement Descriptions:
RET – The Dear Colleague Letter: "Research Experience for Teachers (RET): Funding Opportunity in the Biological Sciences" (NSF 12-075) describes how NSF awardees can provide integrated research and education experience for K-12 teachers by including the active participation of these teachers in funded research projects. The Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) enthusiastically supports these supplemental awards. The intent of this endeavor is to facilitate professional development of K-12 science teachers through research experience at the cutting edge of science.
RAHSS – The Dear Colleague Letter: "Research Assistantships for High School Students (RAHSS): Funding to Broaden Participation in the Biological Sciences" (NSF 12-078) describes how NSF awardees can foster interest in the pursuit of studies in the Biological Sciences; and broaden participation of high school students, particularly those who are underrepresented minorities, persons with disabilities, and women in sub-disciplines where they are underrepresented. The Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) enthusiastically supports these supplemental awards.
ROA – The goal of a "Research Opportunity Award (ROA)" (NSF 14-579) opportunities is to enhance the research productivity and professional development of science faculty at primarily undergraduate institutions (including community colleges) through research activities that enable them to explore the emerging frontiers of science. Such research not only contributes to basic knowledge in science but also provides an opportunity to integrate research and undergraduate education. The Division of Environmental Biology (DEB) enthusiastically supports this activity.
REU – The "Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)" supplements (NSF 13-542) support NSF awardees in providing integrated research experiences for undergraduates. The intent of the REU supplement is to help undergraduates participate fully in a research enterprise, from inception and design of the project, to completion and dissemination of results. REU projects should involve students in meaningful ways in research projects, and provide opportunities for high-quality interaction of students with faculty and/or other research mentors, and access to appropriate facilities and professional development opportunities. Hence, the request should emphasize expected student involvement and mentoring.
D-BP-REU – The Dimensions of Biodiversity (DoB) Program encourages requests for supplemental funding to broaden participation in the biodiversity—related workforce. These supplements are funded through the "Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU)" solicitation (NSF 13-542) and are intended to support students from underrepresented groups and enhance cooperative efforts between PIs with active Dimensions of Biodiversity research awards and faculty at Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) or Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). This two-mentor model allows the REU student the opportunity to work with a DoB investigator and provides continued mentorship from the faculty member at the PUI or MSI after the student's research experience with the DoB investigator is completed. The BP-REU is only available as a supplement to Dimensions of Biodiversity awards.
Beyond the DEB Supplements…
there's also this opportunity from the NSF International office (note: these follow a separate schedule and procedure from the DEB supplements mentioned above):
The National Science Foundation (NSF) East Asia and Pacific Summer Institutes (EAPSI) Fellowship Program provides U.S. graduate students in science and engineering with an opportunity to spend 8 weeks (10 weeks for Japan) during the summer conducting research at one of the seven host locations in East Asia and Pacific: Australia, China, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Singapore, and Taiwan. The program is a collaboration between NSF and counterpart agencies in each host location.
EAPSI is open to graduate students who are U.S. citizens or permanent residents and are enrolled in a research-oriented Masters or Ph.D. program in science or engineering. Applicants must propose a research project in a field of science, engineering or STEM education supported by NSF, including Engineering; Computer and Information Science and Engineering; Mathematical and Physical Sciences (Mathematics, Physics, Astronomy, Chemistry, Materials Science); Biological Sciences; Geosciences; Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences; Education (STEM); and Multidisciplinary Research in these fields. Applicants identify and contact host researchers on their own, prior to submitting their EAPSI proposal; lists of prospective host institutions are available at the end of each Handbook.
NSF provides EAPSI Fellows with a $5,000 stipend and roundtrip airplane ticket to the host location. Our foreign counterparts provide in-country living expenses and accommodations (arrangements vary by host location). Please see www.nsf.gov/eapsi for additional information for the Program Solicitation (NSF 13-593); host location-specific Handbooks; How to Apply Guide; and Helpful Tips for Applicants.

Rauner takes shot at Madigan law practice; speaker calls governor 'extreme'
By Sun-Times staff Jun 24, 2016, 10:36am CDT
Share All sharing options for: Rauner takes shot at Madigan law practice; speaker calls governor 'extreme'
Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner ramped up the rhetoric on Tuesday, accusing Illinois House Speaker Mike Madigan of a personal conflict of interest — saying the Democrat's law firm made millions of dollars off of high property taxes.
Rauner took aim personally at Madigan as lawmakers in Springfield debated a freeze on Illinois property taxes on Tuesday. Rauner criticized the property tax debate on Tuesday, calling it a "waste of time."
Rauner then blasted Madigan, saying he stood to personally profit from a failure of a property tax freeze.
That drew a strong retort from Madigan later in the day. At a Capitol news conference, the speaker said he has always held strong ethical standards in his law business and encouraged Rauner to stop "functioning in the extreme."
Madigan added that his law practice has to do with contesting errors in assessments. He encouraged Rauner to maintain a level of professionalism and repeatedly said he vowed to do the same.
"I imposed strict requirements on my law firm and myself to ensure ethical conduct. I go to great lengths to make certain there is a clear division between my practice and my actions as a public official. Any potential client seeking a state benefit is rejected. If a client requests an intercession with a state agency I refuse. . . . Those policies have been in place for 20, 25, 30 years and I have religiously followed those policies," Madigan told reporters. "I've been through these things before. I know that name-calling and leveling of accusations doesn't do any good for the legislative process."
That was a clear reference to former Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who was repeatedly at odds with Madigan and other lawmakers before he was indicted in 2009.
The recent dust-up between Madigan and Rauner is a sign that there's no foreseeable end to a budget stalemate that had Madigan vowing to call his members to session every week this summer.
While Madigan said he is attempting to be "reasonable" by calling various measures to placate Rauner, the governor called the votes phony.
"There is not a real sincere focus on controlling costs in local government and truly freezing property taxes for the long term, and giving local control for the long term," Rauner told reporters outside the Executive Mansion in Springfield.
He called debate on the issue in the Legislature a "general, vague discussion and more commentary."
"Our property taxes — it's not debatable — that they are punishing our homeowners, punishing our small business owners, punishing Illinois' competitiveness, causing us to lose jobs, causing family incomes in Illinois to be lower than they should be," Rauner said. "It's our biggest tax problem. That's not debatable and for the Senate to spend time today debating or wondering how important property taxes are or how big a problem they are, that's a waste of time."
The Illinois Senate and House on Tuesday debated whether to freeze the level that local governments charge in property taxes.
Rauner reiterated on Tuesday that he wants a property tax freeze before he'll agree to talk about other budgetary issues. And he wants to other business-friendly changes, too.
"We're being reasonable. We feel he is functioning in the extreme as he advances these issues," Madigan said.
Earlier Tuesday, the House Revenue and Finance Committee endorsed two property tax freezes, despite Republicans saying they fall short of Rauner's agenda.
Illinois is without a budget deal for the fiscal year that begins on July 1. Rauner has said he might approve a tax increase to help balance the budget but only if lawmakers agree to five items: setting term limits, redistricting and remapping rules, reforming property taxes, workers compensation and tort reform.

Q: Repeat script until conditions are met I have a google sheet with a timer set for 5am and everyday I want the sheet to:

*

*Refresh, which includes some links to external data, so I add a 10 second pause. There are approximately 100 rows.

*I successfully wrote a formula in column U to tell me if data is imported correctly, and if not it returns the text "ERROR".

*Search for "ERROR" in column U.

*If there are any "ERRORS" in column U, refresh the page again and wait 10 seconds.

*Repeat until there are no "ERRORS"

*Only when there are no "ERRORS" in column U, copy the values in column V and paste-values in column W.

I think I am close... I just can't figure out how to tell it to re-run the "IF" portion if still finds "ERRORS". Any input is appreciated!
Here is a link to the file -> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GFN3tXRlqxo9J9iNpZMPk-e-WlNGVjJ4zSqZ1_aEE_U
function HardKeyValues() {
  var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  spreadsheet.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Players'), true);

  SpreadsheetApp.flush();
  Utilities.sleep(10000);

  var findVal = spreadsheet.getRange('U:U').getValue()
  if(findVal.match('ERROR')){

  SpreadsheetApp.flush();
  Utilities.sleep(10000)}

  else{
  spreadsheet.getRange('W:W').activate();
  spreadsheet.getRange('V:V').copyTo(spreadsheet.getActiveRange(), SpreadsheetApp.CopyPasteType.PASTE_VALUES, false);}
}

A: I would not actually use the sleep timer this way
But if I did I would write it like this:
function HardKeyValues() {
  const ss = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  const psh = ss.getSheetByName('Players');
  SpreadsheetApp.flush();
  Utilities.sleep(10000);
  const vs = psh.getRange('U1:U' + psh.getLastRow()).getDisplayValues().flat();
  if (vs.find(e => e.includes("ERROR"))) {
    SpreadsheetApp.flush();
    Utilities.sleep(10000);
  } else {
    sh.getRange("V1:V" + sh.getLastRow()).copyTo(sh.getRange("W1:W" + sh.getLastRow(), SpreadsheetApp.CopyPasteType.PASTE_VALUES, false));
  }
}

Using indeterminate ranges like "W:W" often leads to many nulls at the end of the array.

A: What about using a while loop ?
function HardKeyValues() {
  var spreadsheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActive();
  spreadsheet.setActiveSheet(spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Players'), true);

  SpreadsheetApp.flush();
  Utilities.sleep(10000);

  var findVal = spreadsheet.getRange('U:U').getValue()

  while (findVal.match('ERROR')){
    SpreadsheetApp.flush();
    Utilities.sleep(10000)}
    findVal = spreadsheet.getRange('U:U').getValue()
  }

  spreadsheet.getRange('W:W').activate();
  spreadsheet.getRange('V:V').copyTo(spreadsheet.getActiveRange(),
  SpreadsheetApp.CopyPasteType.PASTE_VALUES, false);
}

A: You could maybe try using a for loop, just make sure to have a variable that can eventually meet the requirement for the for loop to stop, otherwise, it will turn into a forever loop ;)

Margaret Thatcher prevented Civil War - capitalists on lists to be shot included my dad!
I've waited until after Margaret Thatcher's funeral to post this. Many magical moments move me daily, and I must blog the best soon. But before time passes too far towards eternity of spirit...
Margaret Thatcher was, this week, only the second English Prime Minister of the 20th century honoured with a ceremonial, almost State, funeral. The Queen and all UK political parties attended, as did representatives of many countries.
But some expressed excited joy at her death. Why...?
In the decade before Thatcher came to power Britain was terribly divided. Trade Unions were so powerful they brought down two 1970s governments.
1970s was the height of the Cold War - Russia v The West. Nowadays, governments try to influence African and other countries. Then, Russia and The West tried to influence each other to become communists or 'free' capitalists.
It was said some Trade Union leaders were paid by Russian or Trotski-ite, Leninist, Marxist or Stalinist organisations. They aimed to bring down UK governments until the UK was ungovernable, then they'd take over.
Extreme left-wing Union leaders took their memberships out on strike illegally, without ballots. If one Union went on an illegal, unballoted strike, other unions called unballoted strikes to support them. Miners etc had to strike, or be ostrasised for life by village communities - in those days 'a fate worse than death'.
So before Thatcher came to power, illegal unballoted strikes meant strikers received no pay. Many miners and other union members starved. Communities broke down.
So it was a divided country pre-Thatcher.
The ultra-extreme left wing were well-organised from grass roots up. Pre-Thatcher, some cities such as Liverpool were taken over by what became known as "The Loony Left", followers of Marx, Lenin, Stalin, etc.
But... It was more dastardly and disgusting than most people know because...!!
Capitalists were on lists to be shot when the extreme left revolution came.
How do I know...?
Well, my ex-wife was a die-hard Marxist. One day, her younger sister told me she was going to a meeting of the ultra-left "Workers Revolutionary Party". After, she explained what happened.
"I didn't expect that," she said. "It was about the Left revolution, and how the Unions will keep bringing our governments down, and eventually the unions and the Left will take over our country."
"What's so unexpected about that?" I asked.
"They said I can't join Workers Revolutionary Party unless I wrote lists of capitalists I want shot after the revolution."
"Gosh! What did you do?"
"I'm only a teenager. I told them I was too young to know any capitalists."
"What did they say?"
"They repeated I couldn't join unless I wrote a list of capitalists that deserve to be murdered. They pressured me to write one."
"And..."
"Well, eventually I gave them your dad's name."
"What! My dad? Why?"
"Because he runs a shop."
"But he only runs a shop - and works really hard."
"That makes him a capitalist. So he'll have to be shot."
"But he only tries to earn money for his family."
My sister-in-law repeated, as if hypnotised, "That makes him a capitalist, so he'll have to be shot."
Nowadays, my sister-in-law has a respectable profession, and may not be so left wing. But if she ever tried to deny these comments, I'd swear her previous truth on Oath!
It's not much different now, in the Middle East. Teens and 20 somethings are signed up for revolutionary action. They're malleable, unsure of how to be an adult yet, easily influenced. Revolution by the young via Twitter and Facebook has become a modern phenomena. In 1970s UK, revolution by the young was not far off...
That was, until Margaret Thatcher came to power, and destroyed the unions power, and the power of the extreme left.
Imagine you were in an extremist Leftist union who had brought down two governments, and you were so close to running the country completely, and you saw your dreams of power destroyed by Thatcher. Imagine you were one of countless members of the Workers Revolutionary Party and saw your dark dreams of murdering capitalists destroyed by Thatcher.
No wonder Thatcher's enemies celebrated her death.
No wonder Thatcher had a near-State funeral.
The State has much to thank her for. Without her, maybe many would have been killed in the revolution!
Including my dad...

Partia Piratów (także: Partia Piracka) – międzynarodowy ruch społeczno-polityczny, który propaguje ochronę życia prywatnego, wolny dostęp do dóbr kultury, popiera prawa cyfrowe i stara się przeciwdziałać prywatnym monopolom, które zdaniem zwolenników tego ruchu są szkodliwe dla społeczeństwa.

Ruch międzynarodowy
Pod koniec 2006 ruch ten, w różnych formach organizacyjnych, istniał w Australii, Austrii, Belgii, Brazylii, Kanadzie, Francji, Niemczech, Włoszech, Holandii, Nowej Zelandii, Peru, Polsce, Rosji, Republice Południowej Afryki, Hiszpanii, Szwajcarii, Szwecji, Wielkiej Brytanii i Stanach Zjednoczonych.

Zarejestrowane partie

Polska Partia Piratów

Partia Piratów została zarejestrowana w Polsce 29 listopada 2007, jednak 28 grudnia 2009 została wykreślona z ewidencji partii politycznych. Jej prezesem był Błażej Kaczorowski.

Ugrupowanie zostało reaktywowane i zarejestrowane ponownie 21 stycznia 2013 jako Polska Partia Piratów (P3). Jej prezesem został Radosław Pietroń. Przed wyborami do Parlamentu Europejskiego w 2014 partia zawarła porozumienie z Demokracją Bezpośrednią i Partią Libertariańską, na mocy którego jej działacze (a także działacze Partii Libertariańskiej) znaleźli się na listach komitetu DB (który zarejestrował listy w 6 z 13 okręgów wyborczych). Najwięcej członków P3 znalazło się na liście DB w okręgu łódzkim (w tym otwierający listę ówczesny wiceprezes P3 Tomasz Słowiński). W wyborach samorządowych w tym samym roku Tomasz Słowiński został wystawiony przez Kongres Nowej Prawicy na prezydenta Skierniewic, zajmując ostatnie, 6. miejsce z nieco ponad 2-procentowym poparciem. 20 czerwca 2015 funkcję prezesa partii objęła Paulina Kolbusz. W wyborach parlamentarnych w tym samym roku ugrupowanie nie wystartowało. Poparło niezależnego kandydata do Senatu Piotra Waglowskiego. 10 czerwca 2017 nowym prezesem partii został Michał Dydycz. W wyborach samorządowych w 2018 kandydował on bez powodzenia z lokalnego komitetu do rady gminy Sarnaki.

BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – Experience Rachmaninoff at his best, when the elegant Jamila Tekalli once again joins your Space Coast Symphony Orchestra for the breathtaking Second Piano Concerto on Saturday, Feb. 29 and Sunday, March 1.
For all the virtuosic summits and grand melodic gestures, Rachmaninoff's Second Piano Concerto is shockingly intimate, as if we are peering into the private diary of this vulnerable composer.
How mistaken were the work's initial detractors, whose critical reception sent the young Rachmaninoff into years of depression. Rachmaninoff's First Symphony is a dynamic and passionate representation of the Russian symphonic tradition, a powerful work achieving genuine heroic expression.

Yonezawa lies at the southern end of Yamagata prefecture and was once the capital of the powerful Uesugi clan in the 17th century. Rich in history, Yonezawa is also known for traditional cloth weaving, sake brewing, and nationally renowned beef.
The quickest way to get to Yonezawa is via the JR Yamagata Shinkansen Line, which departs hourly from Tokyo Station to Yonezawa Station.
The journey by shinkansen takes around two and a half hours. Traveling by air from Tokyo is another viable option, as the price is only slightly more than that of a shinkansen ticket. Flight times vary, so it's best to check ahead of time if you plan to take this route.
In the heart of the city lie the ruins of Yonezawa Castle, with rows of old houses and a traditional samurai residence, alongside the Uesugi Shrine dedicated to the distinguished warrior Uesugi Kenshin.
The Uesugi Museum, known as Keishoden, is the perfect place for history buffs looking to learn more about the "war god" Uesugi Kenshin. There are mementos of Uesugi and his descendants, along with 131 important cultural properties and 1,000 items from throughout the Edo era.
In February, the shrine features a festival of lights, with 300 snow lanterns and 3,000 candles, creating an other-worldly sight. Food stalls and souvenir shops sell locally crafted goods around the shrine.
Near Akayu Station, Eboshiyama Park is the perfect spot to retreat from the city. In mid-April, the park becomes the center of Yonezawa's cherry blossom festival , where locals gather to enjoy picnics and marvel at the beauty of the blossoming pink trees surrounding the park.
In the 700-year-old historic hot spring village of Shirabu , the thatched roofs of the Japanese inns will transport you back in time. Numerous hot springs inns offer travelers the chance to relax, unwind and soak in the warm, soothing waters throughout the year.
Only a few bus stops away from Shirabu Onsen, and at an altitude of 1,300 meters, you'll find the refreshing air of the Tengendai highlands.
From here, you can enjoy some of the best views in Yonezawa, whether you're visiting during the colorful autumn season, or in winter, when the region is blanketed in heavy snow. Trekking through the highlands, you'll find shimmering waterfalls and remote shrines waiting to be discovered.
From grass skiing and mountain biking in summer to skiing and snowboarding during the winter, the Tengendai highlands are a popular spot for outdoor sports no matter the weather.
Be sure to attend the Yonezawa Beef Festival during the first week of August, where hundreds of locals gather to taste the highest quality Japanese beef in Tohoku, deliciously cooked over a hot barbeque.
In March, the annual Uesugi Festival sees the re-enactment of the Kawanakajima Battle, one of the largest battles to take place during the Warring States period in the 16th century, when 700 men, the contingents of the Uesugi and Takeda armies, clashed in combat. Everyone is encouraged to participate, and it's a great opportunity to try Samurai armor and go into battle.


The conference will feature six thematic session tracks, with 60+ presentations by industry leaders; optional pre- and post-conference half-day intensive workshops; outstanding keynotes; and a number of social and networking events.

The Federal Reserve Board said that before it could approve the deal, it needed the Chilean holding company to restructure so that it would be more transparent to local banking regulators. Previously, the company was part of a "complex structure of family-affiliated nonbank companies," meaning that it was not subject to direct supervision from Chile's banking authorities, according to the Fed.
It has now reorganized to become a shell holding company for the bank and agreed to open its books to both local regulators and the Fed. The deal will be finalized within 30 days.
"We take great pride in being the first Chilean bank to acquire a bank in the U.S., as it signals a high level of confidence not only in our top-level management, but also in Chile's financial system, especially given the extensive regulatory reform implemented on the heels of the Dodd-Frank Act," Eugenio Von Chrismar, chairman of Banco Credito e Inversiones, said in a statement.
Ken Thomas, a local banking analyst, said that the Chilean bank was a strong institution likely to withstand future market turmoil.
City National had previously been owned by Bankia, Spain's fourth biggest lender. Bankia was bailed out by the government of Spain and the European Union during the recession and as part of the deal had to sell its foreign and non-core assets. The bank was founded by Leonard Abess Sr. and sold in 2008 by his son philanthropist Leonard Abess Jr. for $927 million.
Abess Jr. made national headlines when he split $60 million of the proceeds among about 470 current and former bank employees. The move earned him an invitation to the State of the Union and shout-out during the speech from President Barack Obama.
Thomas also said City National has strong ratings from federal regulators for lending in less wealthy communities.
The Miami bank has $5.6 billion in assets and operates 26 branches in Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach and Orange counties.

Suicidal Driving...
05:00AM, May 09, 2011, Somewhere between Mannuthy and Vadakkenchery on NH47 in Kerala.
I was driving my Silver Punto, rushing towards Bangalore for a week long vacation. The road narrows down from a well-paved 4-lane road to a horribly paved, dingy two laned road a while before Mannuthy on NH47, while approaching from Ernakulam side. Despite being too early in the morning, the traffic was messy around Mannuthy. The road got emptier as we crossed Pattikad. I had an uneasy feeling right from beginning of the day. It started pouring down as we crossed Mannuthy. My kitten was crying through the time (yes! she was traveling with us to Bangalore).
A while into the 2-lane driving, I started noticing trucks in the opposite direction driving ruthlessely - they came straight head-on, and the onus was on me to avoid an accident! I slowed down, so that I get more time to save ourself from an accident. Trucks in the opposite direction were too rash, and one could feel the effects of overnight driv…
A Real superfast.. in Kerala!!
Perhaps for the first time in life I made one real superfast journey in a train in Kerala! In what could be described as a soon to be extinct species, this train made hardly any stops in the 223 kms journey I made in the train! After a mind-boggling day bus fanning and some tourism in Trivandrum, I was returning home. I was accompanied by fellow railfan Vibin Andrews.With some late bus fanning plans in mind (which got washed down, thanks to the rain), I decided to take the weekly 12698 Trivandrum-Chennai Super Fast.
We both were drop-dead-tired at the end of the day. After a light dinner, we headed out to the platform where our train was berthed. Sadly, the train was taken on PF4. Walking over the foot-over-bridge, we saw a loco with "top headlamps" pulling in to take charge of the train. It was a WAP4 - road number and shed unknown - rather, we did not bother checking which loco was that. My seat was in S1, while Vibin was in S4. S1 was fully reserved - all seats were taken…
Yet another overnight bus journey in Kerala..
Yet another bus fanning trip, this time to the North. This one was lingering around for a long time, but the decision to do it came at the last moment. I was to join Sankar on some bus fanning at Kozhikode on Saturday, May 28, 2011. My initial plan was to start off on Saturday morning - very early in the morning. I had almost finalised the 4AM from Thrissur, but later had my mind hanging around. I then thought of taking a train - but the lack of reservations just nipped the plan in the bud itself.
Towards evening of Friday, May 27, 2011, I get a call from Sankar saying that he is taking the Trivandrum - Kozhikode AC bus, from Kollam. I changed my mind at the last moment, and decided to join his bus at Thrissur. I called him up and asked him to try to block a seat for me from Ernakulam. No news from him till later in the night. I got set to travel, and left home around 11 pm on Friday. I was to leave my car at the railway station, and then take the bus from the bus station.
Around 23:2…

Human Rights Coverage Check Pages in Russia
Representatives from 38 countries called for the alarming human rights situation in Russia. Because of this, it was decided to use the "Moscow mechanism" of implementation. It provides for admission to "serious private" commitments within the OSCE, informs French Foreign Ministry.
The Moscow Mechanism was introduced in 1992. This is an intended work that involves creating observations or suspicions for the urgent emergence of a human rights crisis in any of the countries participating in the organization.
The French ministry notes that in recent years, the use of "numerous restrictive and repressive measures" has been recorded in Russia. An independent expert mission is to prepare a report on Russia's "particularly serious" violations of human rights and supreme laws. The mission will have to assess the fulfillment of its obligations and determine what actions in relation to the Russian Federation to the current situation.
The French Foreign Ministry clarified that the "Moscow mechanism" has been operating for the third time since the beginning of 2022. The previous two times were his arrests for the investigation of international international humanitarian law and human rights due to the Russian military operation in Ukraine. At the State Department tell methat to re-enable the decision, the decision made due to the restriction of state freedom of speech and world assembly, and also due to reports of "torture and other ill-treatment of citizens of the Russian Federation and other species infected in Russian custody."
The "Moscow mechanism" of prosecution, in particular in 2018, when Russia buys out human rights violations in Chechnya. It was, among other things, the systematic persecution of representatives of the LGBT community in the republic. In 2020, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov called this mechanism "outdated".

Sam Rockwell and Renee Zellweger both had horrible audition stories to share during their Variety Actors on Actors discussion.
Rockwell revealed that he went above and beyond for an audition for Dr. John Carter on "ER," the role that eventually went to Noah Wyle.
"That was terrible. I came in with a lab coat. I kind of overdid it. Talk about gilding the lily," he said, much to Zellweger's amusement. "I did bring a hypodermic needle without the needle, just the plastic part. I think it freaked them out. They looked at me like I was from Mars."
"Did you show a little too much expertise in knowing how to use it? Because that might give them pause," she said after joking he could've brought a stethoscope and patient with him, too.
After at first saying she didn't have many horrible audition stories, Zellweger recalled a failed tryout for the 1996 movie "Broken Arrow," which starred John Travolta, Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis.
"It had one of those fight scenes where you had to fight, but there wasn't anybody else in the room. So you had to improvise that you're fighting," she said. "In your brain there's no getting around that you look stupid. And I'm not in that movie, so there you go."
"Actors on Actors" will air on PBS June 18th and 20th.

The heart of Sandy Spring has always been the commercial village center which was founded in 1819. The village center was and still is more than just the physical location of businesses; it is a community gathering place.
The first business to open in the Sandy Spring Village Center was the Post Office. It was soon followed by a general store and blacksmith shop. The Sandy Spring store still exists today (though not currently in operation) located on the original site of the first general store. As the village grew, a bakery, bank, insurance company, fire house, restaurant and gas station were added. From the very beginning, neighbors and friends did more than just patronize the businesses in the village center, it was a place to meet and greet, get the latest news, share stories, recipes, announce special occasions, rally to assist those in need and discuss local issues. Today, the character and spirit established by those founding merchants many years ago is still valued.

At Least Some Dinosaurs Had Bellies, An Exquisite Fossil Has Just Been Revealed
The oldest "belly button" known to science has been found on a beautifully preserved horned dinosaur fossil from China.
The slit-like scar does not come from an umbilical cord, as it does in mammals, but from the yolk sac of the egg-laying creature that lived around 130 million years ago.
Many living snakes and birds today shed their so-called umbilical scar within days or weeks after hatching from an egg. Others, like adult alligators, keep them for life.
This is a photo of an American alligator navel (umbilical scar). #BellyButtonScience #alligator #gator #navel pic.twitter.com/GZt2EhA0oD
— Dr. Anne A Madden (@AnneAMadden) February 1, 2017
The umbilical scar found on the Psittacosaurus The dinosaur is more like alligators and lasts at least until sexual maturity and possibly long after.
It is the first example of a navel in a non-avian dinosaur, predating the arrival of "recent life" in the Cenozoic, around 66 million years ago.
The finding doesn't mean that all land dinosaurs sported the same lingering umbilical scar, but it does leave the possibility open.
"This Psittacosaurus specimen is probably the most important fossil we have for studying dinosaur skin," says vertebrate paleontologist Phil Bell from the University of New England in Australia.
"But it continues to yield surprises that we can bring new technologies like laser imaging to life."
The dinosaur fossil Psittacosaurus The genus, known as SMF R 4970, was found in China in 2002. It is beautifully preserved, showing individual scales, long plumes of tail hairs, and the first cesspool ever seen in a non-avian dinosaur.
Lying on its back, the individual presents practically all its details to the scientists.
3D reconstruction of a reclining chair Psittacosaurus showing the long umbilical scar. (Designs of jagged fangs)
Using detailed laser imaging, the researchers have now been able to identify a change in the pattern of skin and scales where the dinosaur's belly button would be, representing where the yolk sac was reabsorbed by a young dinosaur.
Similar to the umbilical cord, the yolk sac is what supplies the growing embryo inside the egg with oxygen and nutrients; there is another connected transparent sac, the allantois, which collects the waste inside an egg. Before an animal hatches, these connections seal, leaving a long scar.
Researchers have long speculated that egg-laying dinosaurs possessed such a scar, but this is the first evidence to support the idea.
Soft tissue fossils are rarely preserved in dinosaurs, but SMF R 4970 gives us unprecedented insight into a thin column of paired scales on an ancient abdomen.
The regular size of the scales and their smooth edges suggest that the scar was not caused by physical trauma or disease.
Instead, its similarity to alligators strongly suggests we're looking at a navel.

"Using LSF imaging, we identified distinctive scales that surrounded a long umbilical scar in the Psittacosaurus specimen, similar to some living lizards and crocodiles," says paleontologist Michael Pittman from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.
"We call this kind of scar a navel, and it's smaller in humans. This specimen is the first dinosaur fossil to retain a navel, which is due to its exceptional state of preservation."
From a full-fledged asshole to a clear navel, the SMF R 4970 Fossil really showed off its most intimate parts.
The study was published in BMC Biology.

Vol. 2011
Homeopathy is a frequently used complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) treatment. We present results comparing responses of homeopathy users (HUs) and users of other forms of CAM (NHUs) in pediatric oncology (PO) in Germany. Differences between these two groups (usage, associated demographic characteristics, previous experience with CAM) are investigated. 186 (45.2%) of the 367 CAM users were exposed to homeopathy. The treatment duration amounted to a median of 601 days for HUs and 282 days for NHUs. Parents with p (127; 76.5%) also used homeopathy for their child's cancer. Nonmedical practitioners played a considerably greater role as source of information than did treating physician. In the majority HUs received their prescriptions from nonmedical practitioners (56%; 29.4% of NHUs). HUs communicate more frequently with their physicians about the CAM-use (77.7% versus 65.2%) and recommend CAM more often than NHUs (94% versus 85.6%). Homeopathy is the most frequently used CAM treatment in PO in Germany. HUs sustain treatment and therapies considerably longer than NHUs. Most families who had used homeopathy before their child was diagnosed with cancer also used homeopathy for the treatment of their child's cancer. Compared to other CAM treatments, patient satisfaction with homeopathy appears to be very high.

Time is ticking on in the National League North and with four games to go there's still so much to sort out.
The title race which won't simmer down continues to come to the boil.
Stockport County went back on top thanks to their six-goal salvo at Chester in midweek - not they want to stay there.
To do that, they need to get the better of a Blyth Spartans side who are bang in form, winning their last three they are very much back in the hunt for the play-offs.
At least they have home advantage. Chorley, just a point behind in second, got to Altrincham who have scored eight times in a week.
AFC Telford have kept a hold of seventh place but they know a home win over Curzon Ashton is required with the sides behind them slapping away at their heels.
Kidderminster are one of them, but if they're to keep up their push they know there needs to be a victim.
That's because in the big game down the bottom Guiseley face Ashton United - and Lions' joint boss Marcus Bignot says it's their most important game of the season.
Spennymoor can effectively seal a play-off place if they win at home to Brackley Town in the battle for third place and home advantage in the play-offs.
Chester were pulled apart by Stockport on Tuesday but they can't be totally discounted from the top seven race. York City are the visitors as they look to put things right.
Bradford PA face already down Nuneaton as Southport and Hereford - two sides who many expected a promotion push from - meet at Haig Avenue.
The same may be said of Darlington, they go to Boston United looking to finish strongly while Leamington play Alfreton.

Q: How calculate the conditional probabilities for Bayesian hypothesis test? Suppose that I obtain a sample $S=(S_1,\dots,S_n)$ from my research. The null hypothesis $H_0$ says that all $S_i$ are drawn from a normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. The alternative hypothesis $H_1$ says that $S$ is a sample from a normal distribution with mean 3 and standard deviation 1.
Now the Bayes factor is defined by
$$\frac{P(S|H_0)}{P(S|H_1)}.$$
How do I calculate $P(S|H_0)$ and $P(S|H_1)$? If there are multiple ways, which is best in which situation?


I do not know much about Nextion LCD. During the production of uBITX Firmware which is HF Transceiver, I was introduced by several OMs, The ultimate goal of this article is to create a GUI for the HF Transceiver.
uBITX CEC Version officially supports Nextion LCD from version 1.09.
I will support 2.4 "and 2.8" LCD by default. You do not need to understand everything below to connect uBITX Nextion LCD. Just use the Nextion Editor to load the firmware on the Nextion LCD. If you want to create your own GUI, please read these articles.
- Changed txt "Hello World"
You will see that n0 is right justified.
Perhaps you should give a special name to most Controls when you are working on Nextion LCD, not practice.
changed the name of the n0 control to nfreq.
With the button selected, look at the bottom of the Nextion Editor.
You will see the Event input window.
Now you have an LCD program that allows you to input as well as output.
There are many other properties. Please try to operate variously. It will be fun.
You can also specify the color when the button is pressed.
Most of the Nextion LCD's controls support images.
You need a picture file for your resolution to test the Image on the Nextion LCD.
Below is a 320 * 240 image file I created. If you are working with a 320 * 240 resolution LCD, download and use the image below.
Look at the bottom left part of Nextion Edit.
Picture / Fonts windows will appear.
Select the 'Pictures' tab below.
If the resolution of the picture file is compatible with the size of your LCD, the following success message is displayed.
In order to practice, two picture files should be added as below.
The Attribute Window for Page0 appears as shown below.
Change the 'sta' field from solid_color to image.
If you change to image as below, 'pic' field appears.
A window for selecting the image file shown below appears.
Select the first picture file and press the 'OK' button.
A picture will appear on your LCD screen.
However, the background color of the Controls will obscure the picture as shown below.
Let's make it more beautiful.
In the properties of nfreq control, change sta from 'solid_color' to 'crop_image'.
Double-click the pic field, select the first image, and click OK.
The nfreq control now looks transparent.
but, The font color is black and is not displayed on the screen.
Nfreq will look nice as shown below.
Most Controls on the Nextion LCD can use Picture in this way.
'Button' control can be used for a bit more variety of pictures.
The bmode button should be transparent.
Move the bmode button to the appropriate position.
When the button is clicked, it will change as shown below.
Using the Timer properly on the Nextion LCD, you can create a very dynamic GUI.
A control named tm0 would have been created under the LCD window as shown below.
A timer is a control that executes commands periodically.
Tm0 will now execute the command at 0.5 second intervals.
Select a timer and look at the Event input window.
Enter the following in Timer Event.
tm0 will execute the following command at 0.5 second intervals.
The number will increase every 0.5 seconds.
Is not it nice to have an LCD that works by itself without any MCU connection?
In this way, you can minimize what you have to process on the MCU.
Nextion LCD supports such as If, For, etc.
The only thing to note is that there is no separate variable declaration inside the programming. To use these variables, you must use the 'Variable' control.
You will see that va0 has been created.
There are only two variable types in the Nextion Editor.
If you select String, you can put or get values into the 'txt' entry.
If you select Number, you can put or get values in the 'val' field.
Modify the timer event as follows.
Each time a timer event is fired, you put the value of va0.val into nfreq.val.
Enter the following in the command input window.
It will be displayed as below.
In this way, the value passed to the Variable control can be used for calculations or displayed on the screen.
Nextion LCD supports 12 Controls. If you have practiced this, you probably will be able to handle other controls in a similar way.
I write this document to apply the Nextion LCD to the HF-Transceiver which is the final goal. You will find some additional examples in the upcoming 2.4 "Nextion LCD firmware that I will be releasing.
Click on the link below to see various examples of controls.
Anxiously waiting to see a demo-video of the Nextion Display in action.
Nice work, nextion are more expensive than tft lcd from aliexpress, but i dont know any friendly use software for tft like for that nextions :) 2.8 inch is really good, but what about biggers ? Could i will use it without hardware modifications ?, btw i see the tft is next BIG step in ubitx software, meybe next is STM32 with nextion and waterfall suport etc, like M0NKA trx :P Great WORK Briliant Development.
The second is too restrictive. It is too restrictive to be easy to use.
I have never used this kind of LCD for reasons.
But when I tried Nextion LCD, I knew I was wrong. It is cheaper than existing HMIs and has its own programming.
And now the firmware that supports Nextion LCD is in beta testing.
No hardware modifications are required to use the Nextion LCD.
Remove the existing LCD and connect the Nextion LCD.
I have just received my nextion display - 3.2" enhanced version and am learning the editor. The displays do cost more but the potential for beautiful functional display are great.
One of the motivations for supporting Nextion LCD is your work.
Many users wanted to support Nextion LCD and I was able to find your Youtube. Your work did not use the Nextion LCD, but I found that the touchscreen was sufficient.
Your programming skills are outstanding and provides a great resource to the Amateur Radio world. Many of us are not as gifted in your ability to work the code but offer skills and testing in other areas.
I think the ability to have the Nextion as addon Display with various Buttons to call up various operational screens is very appealing and offers another extension and versatility.
I see a main menu Screen, with buttons pointing to other screens.
Memory screen- where a user presses a button and up comes a new screen with all the mem channels making it quick and instant to get to it.
All this being done with nearly zero demand on the nano.
The extra benefit of the Nextion Display is also the ability for other users like myself, to be able to use the nextion editor to easily add graphic enhancements to the cosmetics of the screens.
With any other displays this is extremely difficult and time consuming.
At 67 years old, and retired, I am thankful for your willingness to share!
You sure keep me busy testing your stuff Lol... Fun stuff!


Located on the promontory formed by the Rivers Anil and Bacanga, northwest of São Luís Island, the Historic Centre of São Luís do Maranhão is characterized by its urban grid of streets lined with residential buildings of various heights, many with tiled roofs, painted ornamented cornices, tall narrow windows set in decorated surrounds and balconies with forged or cast iron railings. They date from the 1615 plan laid out by Portugal's chief engineer in Brazil, following conquest of the fort that had been established on the site by the French in 1612. Harmoniously expanded through the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, the historic centre is an outstanding example of a Portuguese colonial town adapted to the climatic conditions of Equatorial America, with traditional Portuguese architecture adapted to incorporate raised piers and shuttered, wooden verandas. The singularity of the construction techniques employed is expressed in the elegance of the traditional Portuguese azulejos tile work applied both as insulation and decoration; in the modulated use of occupied and empty spaces reinforced by crafted stonework; and in the sharp contrast between the dense ornamentation of the facades overhanging the streets and porches that open wide from side to side into interior patios, lined by a continuous series of venetians, lattices, and frames.
Criterion (iii): The Historic Centre of São Luís bears exceptional testimony to Portuguese colonial civilisation.
Criterion (iv): The Historic Centre of São Luís is an outstanding example of a Portuguese colonial town adapted to the climatic conditions of equatorial South America.
Criterion (v): The Historic Centre of São Luís is an outstanding example of a colonial town which has preserved its urban fabric, harmoniously integrated with its natural setting, to an exceptional degree.
The urban texture of the Historic Centre of São Luís remains intact, reflecting elements that date to the city's founding and consolidation. While São Luís has been subject to expansion by virtue of its status as a living city and specific role as the state capital of Maranhão until the end of the 19th century, it has not lost the essence of its origins, reflected in the preservation of the historical centre and the 17th century architectural complex and urban grid. These elements serve to illustrate the city's importance to the region's territorial settlement. The Historic Centre is however extremely vulnerable to abandonment and neglect, and measures are being taken to address this issue, despite the urban rehabilitation initiatives to restore the architectural and enhance the area's landscape value.
The overlay of the various periods in the evolution of the Historic Center of São Luís, from inception of the original site in the 16th century, reflected in the French fortifications; through growth of the Portuguese city in the 17th century; to its splendorous moment in the 18th century as the capital of Grão Pará; and its rise as the homogenous aristocratic commercial metropolis of the 19th century, remain in evidence in the historic centre's structural elements. The authenticity of materials and substance in buildings, street pattern and layout, and urban spaces is high, and is respected by official bodies and inhabitants alike. Traditions, uses, and customs directly linked to Brazilian cultural identity continue to be maintained.
The urban management of São Luís' Historic Centre is performed at the three levels of government: federal, state, through the municipal policies governing the preservation of local historical heritage property.
Following the city's registration on UNESCO's World Heritage List in 1997, there was a substantial increase in the demand for public measures to preserve the site and in the interest of government institutions to raise public awareness regarding the issue. To this end, the São Luís Municipal Government began developing the necessary instruments to safeguard the city's heritage, establishing in 1998 the Cultural Heritage Coordination (Coordenação de Patrimônio Cultural).
In 2003, the local government created the Historic Centre Management Centre (Núcleo Gestor do Centro Histórico) through Decree-Law 25441 to serve as an umbrella for the competent public agencies (municipal, state, and federal), organized civil society stakeholders, and private institutions to: integrate municipal measures and leverage the ties and partnerships forged between the various administrative and management levels; organize the delivery of public services to the Historic Centre; take steps to settle immediate problems arising in the area; propose activities and projects to spur local economic activity and ensure the sustainability of production and consumption patterns in the historical site, among other initiatives.
By virtue of this effort, the Municipal Foundation for Historical Heritage (Fundação Municipal de Patrimônio Histórico – FUMPH) was established in 2005 for the purpose of implementing operational planning and executing municipal historical heritage policies, as well as local policy initiatives aimed at safeguarding and protecting the municipality's cultural heritage, as mandated in the Fundamental Law of São Luís.
In 2008, the Historic Center Management Centre (Núcleo Gestor do Centro Histórico) was dissolved due to a lack of effective policy coordination among the different spheres of government. While in operation, it did, however, provide a concrete experience in joint collaboration between the three levels of government.
The applicable urban administration and management regulations aimed at preserving the Cultural Heritage Site include the Municipal Master Plan of São Luís (Plano Diretor do Município de São Luís – 2006), through which protection of the site was integrated to the planning and territorial settlement process as part of the Municipal.
Others municipal ordinances serves to incentivize the preservation and maintenance of properties in the city centre as well, including Law 3836 of June 21, 1999, which waives local property tax assessments (Imposto sobre a Propriedade Predial e Territorial Urbana – IPTU) for well-conserved and preserved properties. Additional legislative instruments have been enacted to address the problem of property abandonment and inadequate maintenance, among them Law 4478/2005, which regulates articles 1275 and 1276 of the Brazilian Civil Code (Código Civil Brasileiro) governing property abandonment.
In the context of the effort to strengthen the specific applicable legislation, the following instruments must still be updated and adequately adapted: the Zoning Law (Lei de Zoneamento), the Urban Land Use and Occupation Ordinance (Uso e Ocupação do Solo Urbano – 1992), the Urban Building Code (Código de Posturas – 1968).
