#SynchroLightAt75 – Historical perspective of catalysis at Elettra
"Catalysis, is a strange principle of chemistry which works in ways more mysterious than almost any other of the many curious phenomena of science" New York Times: June 8, 1923
Heterogeneous catalysis is one of the most extensively studied functional systems since it is in the heart of chemical industry, fuel, energy production and storage and also is part in the devices for environmental protection.
The key processes in heterogeneous catalysis occur at dynamic reactant/catalyst surface interfaces. Since these processes involve coupling between different electronic, structural and mass transport events at time scales from fs to days, and space scales from nm to mm, we are still far from full comprehension how to design and control the catalysts performance. In this respect the ultrabright and tunable light, generated at the synchrotron facilities, has opened unique opportunities for using powerful spectroscopy, spectromicroscopy, scattering and imaging methods for exploring the morphology and chemical composition of complex catalytic systems at relevant length and time scales and correlate them to the fabrication or operating conditions.
The very demanded for catalysis studies is the surface sensitive PhotoElectron Spectroscopy (PES), based on the photoelectric effect, for which Einstein won the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics, and demonstrated for the first time in 1957 by Kai Siegbahn who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1981. PES has overcome its time and space limitations for studies of catalytic surface reactions thanks to the synchrotron light, which also added the opportunity for complementary use of X-ray absorption spectroscopy. At Elettra, the first time resolved PES studies with model metal catalyst systems were carried out at SuperESCA beamline in 1993 and few years later PES microscopy instruments, Scanning PhotoElelectron Microscope (SPEM) and X-ray PhotoElectron Emission Microscope (XPEEM) at ESCAMicroscopy and Nanospectroscopy beamlines have allowed for sub-mm space resolved studies, including imaging of dynamic surface mass transport processes as well.
Implementation in the last decade of operando experimental set-ups at APE, BACH and ESCAMicroscopy experimental stations for bridging the pressure gap of PES investigations has led to significant achievements in monitoring in-situ chemical, electrochemical and morphology evolution of all types catalytic systems under reaction conditions. Further complementary studies using X-ray absorption spectroscopy in photon-in/photon-out mode, ongoing at the XAFS and TwinMic beamlines are filling some remaining knowledge gaps for paving the road towards knowledge-based design and production of these complex and very desired functional materials.

Sharper insights into thin-film systems
Interfaces in semiconductor components or solar cells play a crucial role for functionality. Nevertheless, until now it has often been difficult to investigate adjacent thin films separately using spectroscopic methods. An HZB team at BESSY II has combined two different spectroscopic methods and used a model system to demonstrate how well they can be distinguished.
Photoelectron spectroscopy (PES) enables the chemical analysis of surfaces and semiconductor layers. In this process, an X-ray pulse (photons) hits the sample and excites electrons to leave the sample. With special detectors, it is then possible to measure the direction and binding energy of these electrons and thus obtain information about electronic structures and the chemical environment of the atoms in the material. However, if the binding energies are close to each other in adjacent layers, then it is hardly possible to distinguish these layers from each other with PES.
A team at HZB has now shown how precise assignments can nevertheless be achieved: they combined photoelectron spectroscopy with a second spectroscopic method: Auger electron spectroscopy. Here, photoelectrons and Auger electrons are measured simultaneously, which gives the resulting method its name: APECS for Auger electron photoelectron coincidence spectroscopy (APECS).
Image: The illustration shows how the APECS measurement works on a nickel single crystal with an oxidised surface. An X-ray beam ionises atoms, either in the nickel crystal or on the surface. The excited photoelectrons from the surface and from the crystal have slightly different binding energies. The Auger electrons make it possible to determine the origin of the photoelectrons.

Expanding horizons with a new instrument
Work is in full swing to construct the new European XFEL instrument SXP. Manuel Izquierdo, who is the Group Leader for SXP since December 2020, gave insights into how the instrument will expand the European XFEL portfolio, when it is set to begin operations and what his vision is for the instrument at this stage.
How would you describe the SXP instrument?
SXP stands for "Soft X-ray Port". This name was chosen in keeping with the core idea of the project, that is, to provide the users an FEL beamline where they can temporarily set up their own experiment stations. And, this is what makes the instrument unique: users can bring and operate their own experiment stations. This will allow many techniques and experiments to be implemented. The successful proposals would be those that cannot be performed at the two soft X-ray instruments SCS or SQS. So basically, the idea is that the SXP instrument will expand the portfolio of techniques available to users at European XFEL.
What kind of experiments will be performed at SXP?
In principle it is up to the user community to suggest. So far, three communities have contributed to the project. One community aims to use European XFEL as a laboratory for astrophysics, atomic physics, and fundamental research investigating highly charged ions. A second community proposed studies on chemical bond activation in biological reactions and inorganic catalysts. The third and biggest community aims to perform time and angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy experiments in solids. This technique will allow understanding the atomic structure, chemical, electronic and magnetic properties of materials. The counter part for atoms, molecules and clusters can be done at the SQS instrument.

Unusual reversibility of molecular break-up of PAHs
By combining the high-resolution x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy at the SuperESCA beamline of Elettra with density functional theory a group of scientists from Italy, UK, Denmark and Germany has shown that the process of hydrogen removal from pentacene molecules adsorbed on Ir(111) follows a reversible chemical route, which allows hydrogen re-attachment to the carbon nanoribbon formed after the thermally induced C–H bond break-up. The thermal dissociation taking place upon controlled annealing can be reversed by cooling the system at room temperature and in a hydrogen atmosphere.
Besides the novelty of the chemical process, this phenomenon could have interesting implications for molecular electronics and for the manipulation of graphene nanoribbons which are known to present higher electron/hole mobilities and better thermal transport when dehydrogenated.

A probe of light-harvesting efficiency at the nanoscale
Using time-resolved experiments at the Advanced Light Source (ALS), researchers found a way to count electrons moving back and forth across a model interface for photoelectrochemical cells.
The findings provide real-time, nanoscale insight into the efficiency of nanomaterial catalysts that help turn sunlight and water into fuel through artificial photosynthesis.
Solar-fuel tech goes for gold
In the search for clean-energy alternatives to fossil fuels, one promising solution relies on photoelectrochemical (PEC) cells: water-splitting, artificial-photosynthesis devices that turn sunlight and water into solar fuels such as hydrogen. In just a decade, researchers have achieved great progress in the development of PEC systems made of light-absorbing gold nanoparticles (NPs) attached to a semiconductor film of titanium dioxide (TiO2).

Laser, camera, action: Ultrafast ring opening of thiophenone tracked by time-resolved XUV photoelectron spectroscopy
Light-induced ring opening reactions form the basis of important biological processes such as vitamin D synthesis, and are also touted as promising candidates for the development of molecular switches. In recent years, new time-resolved techniques have emerged to investigate these processes with unprecedented temporal and spatial resolution.
An international research team from the USA, UK, Germany, Sweden, Australia, and the local team at the FERMI free-electron laser, combined time-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy with high-level electronic structure and molecular dynamics calculations to unravel the dynamics of a prototypical reaction along the full photochemical cycle of a ring molecule (thiophenone) – from photoexcitation, ring opening, all the way through to the subsequent ground state dynamics, and spanning a range of tens of femtoseconds to hundreds of picoseconds. "These processes have intrigued the photochemistry community for decades" says Prof. Daniel Rolles from Kansas State University "and it is now routinely possible to visualize electronic changes and the movement of atoms in the molecule at each step of a chemical reaction".

PHELIX beamline – delivery of analyzer and spin detector
On July 22, 2020, the last components of the PHELIX end station were delivered to SOLARIS. The delivery included a high-resolution hemispherical photoelectron energy analyzer and a VLEED spin detector.
The PHELIX end station will be exceptional: it will allow scientists to perform circular dichroism measurements (CD-ARPES) and provide direct insights into the spin texture of electron states (SP-ARPES) in the same UHV system and for the same sample. Both of these methods give information about the electron spin, but the interpretation of the CD-ARPES results alone can be challenging. However, the combination of these two methods has a number of advantages allowing for the better understanding of the systems, as it excludes differences in quality between samples and the risk of surface contamination when transferring the sample between experimental systems. Both of these factors significantly affect the obtained results, and the limited control over them reduces the reliability of the research. To our knowledge, the PHELIX beamline will be one of the very few facilities in the world where such combined measurements can be performed.

In their version of the story, team veterans asked Leonard if he expected to return, and if so, when.
Because of the meeting, the team did not conduct its usual postgame player interviews with its broadcast partner.
The meeting itself took place after a win against the Minnesota Timberwolves on Saturday, March 17th. Teammate Tony Parker has been outspoken recently that Leonard should be playing. Leonard has impressed his coaches and teammates during 3-on-3 and 4-on-4 workouts, and there had been a belief his rehabilitation was cycling toward a return to the floor.
A two-time Defensive Player of the Year and first-team All-NBA player, as well as the 2014 Finals MVP, Leonard is eligible for a $200 million contract extension this summer and free agency in 2019.
According to Wojnarowski, the meeting was "tense and emotional at times", with players expressing confusion and frustration over Leonard's absence. San Antonio has won five straight games. "You don't think he wants to come back?"
Wojnarowski states that Tony Parker led an emotional meeting in which teammates implored Leonard to return to the lineup and help the Spurs make a push for a playoff spot. "We fell for it a week ago, again".
Prior to this season where Leonard has only played in nine games, the least amount of games he played in any other season was his second in the league.
What's the general message you guys have for Kawhi? But as I said maybe a month ago, I don't know when it was, we've got to think that he's not coming back, that we are who we are and that we've got to fight without him.
Green relayed the same sentiment.
"It was incorrect, wrong, false", Green said. "[Gregg Popovich] has made that very clear after the break". It limited him to nine games, a number that might not change before the end of this campaign. But our mindset with 10 games left: "We've got to make the best of it with the group that we have". Leonard informed the Spurs on January 17 that he needed to take time away to focus on rehabilitation.

Arsenal vs Manchester City highlights (0-3)
16 December 2019 at 11:56 GMT By rush
Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "We made an incredible result but the way we played against Manchester United [a 2-1 defeat last weekend] was better in many, many things.
"I know we are judged on the result but I have a duty to judge the performance, not just the result."
Arsenal interim manager Freddie Ljungberg: "We tried to keep the ball and be the Arsenal we want to be.
"The problem was the transitions, they scored on the counter. De Bruyne is a fantastic player but when they start like that it's very difficult to get going again and I felt we got low and they got confident.
"I said to the players at half-time it was about pride, you need to show some heart out there and show that you're proud."
Arsenal vs Manchester City . Score: 0-3.

World Down Syndrome Day 2018 – Day 16
Emily makes amazing scones
Emily has a passion for cooking and most things food orientated. She has long wanted to work in a restaurant like her big sister as a waitress; she has even learnt how to carry 3 plates at a time. Her biggest passion however is cooking. Connections Café is a volunteer run organisation that provides home-made cakes, scones, coffee and lunches at a minimal cost to the Barossa Community two days a week. Emily started there as a helper but was given the opportunity to become involved in making the scones.
Emily says, "On Wednesdays I work at Connections Café and I make scones. They sell biscuits and coffee and cake…and scones. They are easy to make, I learnt how to make them…You need flour and cream and lemonade. You have to knead it with your hands."
Emily also takes out the food, picks up the dirty dishes and washes the dishes too.
Does she like washing dishes? "NO!!" she says.
Emily's greatest pleasure is when the customers ask to speak to the scone maker and tell her they are the best scones they have had, just like their grandmother used to make.

Q: How would one create a DATE column that is updated via a DATETIME column Consider the following:
CREATE TABLE mytable
(
    [id] INT NOT NULL,
    [foobar] VARCHAR(25) NULL,
    [created_on] DATETIME NOT NULL
);

SELECT *
FROM mytable
WHERE CAST(created_on AS DATE) = '2019-01-01';

I have a lot of queries like this, where I need to store the full date and time for audit (and sorting) purposes, but most queries only care about the date portion when it comes to searching.
In order to improve performance, I was considering adding a sister column that stores the value as a DATE, and then update it via triggers; but before I go down that rabbit hole, I wanted to know if there is a better way to solve this issue. Is there some mechanism in SQL Server that offers a better solution to this issue?
I am currently stuck on SQL Server 2008, but I am open to solutions that use newer versions

A: My preference would be to just write a sargable
WHERE created_on >= '2019-01-01' and created_on < '2019-01-02';

The
CAST(created_on AS DATE) = '2019-01-01';

Is in fact mostly sargable but somewhat sub optimal ...
... and splitting it out into a separate indexed column can help other cases like GROUP BY date
If you decide you do need a separate column you can create a computed column and index that.
This is preferable to triggers as it has less performance overhead as well as allowing SQL Server to match both the column name and the original expression. (any index on a column populated by a trigger won't be matched to a query containing CAST(created_on AS DATE))
CREATE TABLE mytable
  (
     [id]         INT NOT NULL,
     [foobar]     VARCHAR(25) NULL,
     [created_on] DATETIME NOT NULL,
     [created_on_date] AS CAST(created_on AS DATE)
  );

CREATE INDEX ix_created_on_date
  ON mytable(created_on_date)
  include (foobar, id, created_on)

SELECT foobar,
       id,
       created_on
FROM   mytable
WHERE  CAST(created_on AS DATE) = '2019-01-01';

The company carries out work across the main areas of building acoustics and environmental noise and vibration. Clients include government departments and local authorities and all sizes of companies from multi-national organisations down to small businesses. We deal with most business sectors and deal with projects from initial conception, through the planning and construction stages to final commissioning tests. We have been at the forefront of the use of computerised noise mapping to assess noise impacts from individual developments to whole countries.
The company keeps up to date with all the latest technical developments and revisions to noise and vibration assessment methodologies and plays an active role in the Association of Noise Consultants. Peter Hepworth is currently President of the Association. All technical staff are members of the Institute of Acoustics, and have a relevant acoustics qualification.
Hepworth Acoustics has recently started the process of becoming a fully employee owned company. The staff have acquired 55% of the company shares from the founding directors, and will acquire the remaining 45% of shares in 5 years' time. This process will maintain continuity within the company, with the founders remaining with the company, but will also provide long term stability for employees of the company. The employee ownership will enable the company to build on the 25 year history of Hepworth Acoustics. As part of the changes, Donald Quinn was appointed Managing Director in April 2015, with Peter Hepworth continuing as a director.
Hepworth Acoustics was appointed in 2012 by Defra to carry out mapping of main roads and railways for all of the main urban areas and transportation corridors in England. It is believed that the noise map was the largest in the world when it was produced. The work was commissioned to provide the noise data for the European Union Environmental Noise Directive requirements.
As part of ITV Studios requirements to provide a dedicated production facility for "Coronation Street", Hepworth Acoustics has worked with the company for the last 8 years. Initial work involved assessing the noise environments at different locations being considered. Once the site at MediaCityUK was chosen, we were responsible for carrying out all acoustic surveys and design work for the new studios, set and ancillary buildings. Construction works were inspected and commissioning tests carried out. Following the opening of the facility, Hepworth Acoustics continues to provide ongoing advice to ITV including advising on the potential noise and vibration implications of proposals that would see a new Metrolink line pass close to studios and the outdoor set.

49ers sign KR/CB Allen Rossum
By Oscar Aparicio
Feb 24, 2008 at 1:01 PM • --
The 49ers signed cornerback Allen Rossum today, according to the NFL Network. He was released by the Steelers on February 22nd and, since he is a vested veteran, was able immediately sign with any team. The terms of the contract are unknown at this time.
While Rossum is listed as a cornerback, he is also a return specialist capable of fielding both punts and kickoffs. You may remember Rossum from last season's week three game against the Steelers when Rossum returned a kickoff for a touchdown.
He played in 15 games last season, missing the week 17 game against the Ravens due to a hamstring injury.
Rossum is entering his 10th NFL season. He was drafted in the 3rd round of the 1998 draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. He played for the Atlanta Falcons from 2002 to 2006 becoming their all time leader in kick off and punt return yardage.


Protect your business with advice from the experts at Builders Mutual.
Not long ago, general contractors (GCs) would have been hard-pressed to build a house if they required their subcontractors to use fall protection. Subs would simply work for a less stringent GC. Fall protection, although practical, was anything but popular. Nowadays, the unpopular has become the norm. If you stop by a job-site, you will find workers protecting themselves with harnesses, Safety Boot® Guardrail Systems, WallWalkers® and other types of safety equipment.
What is seemingly unpopular these days on the job-site? Requiring subs to have insurance, specifying minimums for limits, and requiring that they periodically provide proof of such coverage. Many GCs have concerns about losing subs if they mandate insurance requirements. Nevertheless, GCs who fail to require their subs to carry adequate insurance open their businesses to great financial risk.
The dangers of turning a blind eye.
What if water damage ruins the recently laid hardwood floors because of the plumber's mistake? What if the electrician accidentally burns down the nearly completed house? Their limits of insurance will suggest whether the claim will be paid in full or in part, if covered at all. Who pays the difference? "Typically, the GC will be responsible for paying either the difference or covering the loss completely if the sub has no insurance coverage," states claims expert Ken Bunn. These types of unnecessary risks can be avoided by GCs who clearly specify and enforce insurance requirements for their sub contractors.
At a minimum, subs should have policies for workers' compensation, general liability, and auto (if they have owned, hired, or non-owned vehicles). More specifically, GCs should ensure that their subs are carrying appropriate minimum limits. Typically, limits of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate are adequate for general liability.
As a GC, you should work with your agent to determine if your requirements should be higher. Think about the price range of the homes you are building and ask yourself, "How much damage can my subs do?" If you build $2 million homes, then you definitely need your subs to carry higher limits. In your subcontractor agreement, you should require that your company is named as an additional insured on the subs' general liability policies. For answers to all of your coverage questions, contact your insurance agent in addition to discussing with legal counsel as needed.
How can general contractors be certain their subs carry the recommended insurance? Certificates of Insurance(COIs) offer this peace of mind. If you refuse to pay subs until they provide a COI, you leave your company at considerable risk. Do not let a sub start a job without a COI! Your superintendent should call you or your office to verify that you have a COI on file for all subs before any project begins.
For subs with whom you have long, established relationships, update your records once per year with a new COI 30 days prior to the policy expiration. Make sure you obtain a certificate of insurance for each "project." This may protect you in case of cancellation of insurance during the project.
For new subs with whom you have just begun working, require a COI before the sub begins. It is best to ask for the COI directly from the agent. Then, every 30-45 days, call the agent of record to verify coverage and request a new COI. Pay close attention to any late notices and notices of policy cancellation you may receive. Follow up immediately to confirm the status of the policy.
When you have the COI in hand, look for a binder or policy number. If you see "TBD" in that field, call the agent (also listed on the COI) to request the actual policy number. Check for the policy expiration date, and be prepared to request another COI prior to expiration. Remember to check for coverage on auto, general liability, and workers' compensation and be sure the proper limits of coverage are in force. While this might seem overwhelming, there are a variety of vendors available that specialize in helping you manage all of your subcontractor certificates.
Before long, your subs will not think twice about carrying the insurance you require. Until then, you may be a bit unpopular for specifying insurance requirements, but you will sleep well knowing you have mitigated your company's financial risks and confirmed coverage is being provided for all who are on the job-site.

The seventy-fifth anniversary of the gift of Dumbarton Oaks from Robert and Mildred Bliss to Harvard University provides an opportunity to exhibit archival photographs of the garden beginning with its early design and development in the 1920s by Beatrix Farrand and Mildred Bliss through numerous and varied changes over the course of its life.
Within the Catalogue House, with its unique historical setting in the garden and adjacent to Dumbarton Oaks Park, historic images will be paired with contemporary images taken from approximately the same perspective. Related documents including early maps, drawings, and correspondence from the online Garden Archives will fit the photographs into context and illustrate further the garden's evolution. The installation will be on view beginning November 20, 2015, and is coordinated by Gail Griffin, Director of Gardens and Grounds, and Linda Lott, Librarian, Rare Book Collection.
This online exhibit, a companion to the installation in the Catalogue House, overlays a selection of paired archival and contemporary photographs, allowing users to witness the transformation of several garden areas. To reveal the current perspective, simply mouse over the historic photographs from left to right. Both images are also available as exhibit items, with further information. A brief introduction to each garden room is excerpted from the fuller entry in the Garden Archives, and, where available, links to additional photographs and drawings are provided.

Iran: 103-Year-Old Woman Survives Covid-19
A 103-year-old woman in Iran has fully recovered after being infected with the novel coronavirus, state media reported, despite overwhelming evidence the elderly are most at risk from the disease.
The unnamed woman had been hospitalised in the central city of Semnan for about a week, IRNA news agency said.
But she was "discharged after making a complete recovery", Semnan University of Medical Sciences head Navid Danayi was quoted as saying by IRNA late on Tuesday.
The woman was the second elderly patient in Iran to have survived the disease.
The other was a 91-year-old man from Kerman, in the southeast of Iran, the news agency said.
After being sick for three days, he recovered on Monday despite having pre-existing medical conditions including high-blood pressure and asthma, it added.
The report did not say how the pair were treated.
Since Iran announced its first deaths on 19 February, the novel coronavirus has spread across the country's 31 provinces and killed more than a thousand people.
Iran is yet to impose any lockdowns but officials have repeatedly called on the public to stay home for the holidays.
On Wednesday, Deputy Health Minister Alireza Raisi urged Iranians to remain at home in the lead up to the annual Nowruz spring festival.
"Now everyone knows about this disease, and what is very strange is that some don't take it seriously," Raisi said in a televised news conference.
"If people help, we can control it, and if not, then expect it to last more than two months."
Raisi said 1,192 new infections were confirmed in the past 24 hours, raising the total to 17,161.
Tehran province had the highest number of new cases with 213.
Isfahan in central Iran was second with 162, followed by East Azerbaijan in the northwest with 84.
The deputy minister complained that in Tehran "bazaars are busy" and that people travel in their cars despite warnings not to do so.
"Just be patient for these two weeks so that, God willing, we can overcome this virus," Raisi said.
The country's New Year holidays start on 20 March this year and will last until early April, with many Iranians traditionally travelling to popular spots such as northern provinces.
On Tuesday, reports confirmed researchers at the Sharif University of Technology in Tehran created a computer simulator to test different scenarios related to the spread of COVID-19 across Iran.
Researchers estimate Iran will reach the peak of the epidemic not in one week but rather at the end of May, by which point as many as 3.5 million people could die.
The COVID-19 virus, which was first detected in China's Wuhan in December, has killed more than 8,231 people worldwide, while over 203,691 infections have been confirmed.
The majority of those that infected with corona experience only mild or moderate symptoms, including fever and a dry cough.
However, concerns have been raised for the elderly and those with existing health issues, who have reportedly suffered with more severe complications, including pneumonia and even death.
The World Health Organisation this month estimated the novel coronavirus kills 3.4 percent of all those infected.
But for people aged over 80 the fatality rate was 21.9 percent, according to a report the WHO carried out with the Chinese authorities.
As of yet, there are no known treatments for the virus, though more than 82,866 have already recovered from the infection.
The World Health Organisation has confirmed those who experience a milder version of the virus recover in about two weeks, while those with more severe illness may take three to six weeks to recover.
As the pandemic continues to spread across the world, dozens of research groups around the world are racing to create a vaccine while governments continue to impose strict restrictions or "lockdowns" to help stem the spread of the virus.

A tale of two forex brokers – How Alpari UK and FXCM dealt with chaos
Published: 28th January, 2020.
"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times." I doubt if Charles Dickens would have ever traded currencies, but the revolution and chaos that followed the removal of the Swiss Franc peg might have been a bit reminiscent for him, considering the heads that rolled and the carnage in the streets. Perhaps, a few prayers would be more in order for those brokers that quickly bit the dust, overwhelmed by client losses from highly leveraged or automated trades. If we are to learn anything from the risk guillotine's blade, then Alpari UK and FXCM are examples worthy of further examination.
Both firms have been around for some time. Alpari UK has its roots back in Russia in 1998, but its UK operation was formed in 2004, as part of a global expansion. The company remains private, and Andrey Dashin, one of its original founders, is a name most often associated with the Alpari Group today. FXCM, on the other hand, is a public company with its shares traded on Wall Street. The firm was founded in 1999 in New York and is one of the early developers of retail forex trading. Both brokerage houses have in excess of 200,000 retail customers and participate heavily in the daily forex market, where more than $4.5 trillion in turnover is experienced daily.
Both firms also offer a wide range of trading products and services, not confined purely to foreign exchange, but the damage to each occurred due to the swift appreciation of the Swiss France when the Swiss National Bank (SNB) removed its 1.20-peg to the Euro. Many highly-leveraged positions and automated trades from robots and EAs were caught short when the maelstrom occurred last week. Many brokers halted trading until sanity returned. In some markets, a 40% swing in the "EUR/CHF" currency pair valuation was not uncommon.
The market has since leveled off around parity, but recorded losses have been enormous. Alpari UK announced that it was closing its doors and applying for insolvency. The total amount of loss sustained was not disclosed, but these actions did not directly impact the Alpari Group or its flagship, Alpari RU. FXCM, in line with SEC disclosure requirements, advised investors that it has lost $225 million. It quickly moved to raise $300 million in additional capital, but, as the details of this deal become public, the shares of FXCM continued to fall on the NYSE, as investors await more information.
How did the management team at Alpari UK react to the turmoil?
Private companies, in these situations, tend to act more "close to the vest", so to speak, withholding many details that might come back to haunt them at a later date. Their initial communication on Friday, following the carnage from the previous day, read as follows:
"The recent move on the Swiss franc caused by the Swiss National Bank's unexpected policy reversal of capping the Swiss franc against the euro has resulted in exceptional volatility and extreme lack of liquidity. This has resulted in the majority of clients sustaining losses which has exceeded their account equity. Where a client cannot cover this loss, it is passed on to us. This has forced Alpari (UK) Limited to confirm today, 16/01/15, that it has entered into insolvency. Retail client funds continue to be segregated in accordance with FCA rules."
Over the weekend, there was great speculation as to whether a "White Knight" would step forward to buy the firm. FXCM for a while was even cast as a potential suitor, but both firms quickly denied that discussions were taking place. When Monday rolled around, Alpari UK filed for insolvency, and an administrator was appointed. In their latest release, the firm remains hopeful, as implied by the following words:
"After a weekend spent in urgent discussions with various parties with a view to selling the company, these efforts were ultimately unsuccessful. We have had a number of enquiries from interested parties in relation to the company's business. We will be speaking with these parties and others over the next few days, and hope to secure a deal to preserve the business and jobs as far as possible."
Hope may spring eternal, but clients are already demanding that their $99 million in segregated deposits, per FCA rules, be refunded. It will take time to determine the true extent of customer losses, since many liquidity providers are presently re-quoting settlement rates. A back office reconciliation nightmare has ensued. Stay tuned.
How did the management team at FXCM react to the turmoil?
From a loss perspective, FXCM was one of the first brokers to release an actual figure for its losses. Amounts had been ranging from a few million to upwards of £30 Million, but when FXCM announced its figure, it was a shot heard round the world:
"Due to unprecedented volatility in EUR/CHF pair after the Swiss National Bank announcement this morning, clients experienced significant losses, generated negative equity balances owed to FXCM of approximately $225 million. As a result of these debit balances, the company may be in breach of some regulatory capital requirements. We are actively discussing alternatives to return our capital to levels prior to today's events and discussing the matter with our regulators."
As their shares on Wall Street plummeted, investors absorbed these losses in depreciated share value. A complete loss value remains to be determined. The $225 million amount may seem exorbitant, but it was reported that Citicorp had lost in excess of $150 million, and that the Everest Capital Global Fund, a hedge fund with $830 million under management, was said to have met its doom, all in one 24-hour period. The Risk Guillotine can be extremely harsh when handing out its judgments.
The 3-day weekend in the U.S. did not help matters, but FXCM did move resolutely to arrange for $300 million in addition capital. When details of the deal began to leak, the market reaction on Tuesday was excruciating, according to this analyst's quote:
"Shares of foreign-exchange brokerage FXCM cratered nearly 90% to a 52-week low of $1.47 in morning trading Tuesday after the company disclosed the terms of its bailout by Leucadia National. Leucadia can force a sale of FXCM and is entitled to at least 50% of the proceeds beyond payment of a $300 million loan and other fees, FXCM said in a statement late Monday. The annual interest rate on the two-year loan can climb to as much as 17% from the original 10%."
The "new capital" turned out to be a high-interest 2-year loan with a "forced sale call option", terms that almost guarantee a future liquidation at some point. Stay tuned.
What will go down as the "Swiss Franc Debacle" can be termed as systemic risk, since its impacts have reverberated throughout the entire forex industry and could not have been confined at its source. Dan Curtin, global investment specialist at JP Morgan Private Bank in Boston, summed it up best, "Most central banks have been really clear about how to telegraph their messages, particularly here in the U.S., so having a bank intentionally surprise caught everybody a little flat footed."
Brokers, banks, managed funds, and investors have lost millions, due the abrupt action taken by a single central banker. The SNB surely could have pursued a more gradual approach to solving its pressing financial issue. Alpari UK and FXCM are just two examples of how firms scramble during chaos, grabbing for any financial life preserver that is handy. As many have already reported, we may only be seeing the tip of this iceberg. It may take months to unravel its broad-based consequences.
It should also be noted that many central bankers have been warning that their "tea leaves" are suggesting that more "liquidity crunches" are hovering just over the horizon. In recent years, the world of retail forex has had to absorb the crisis in Cyprus, the Russian Ruble collapse, and now the Swiss Franc Debacle. One thing is clear with these types of unpredictable risk. You must ensure that your forex broker really does segregate your deposits away from operating capital in Tier-1 bank accounts in accordance with strict regulatory standards. It also helps to avoid unnecessary constructs that are designed to manipulate market forces, the SNB peg for one.

A Shawn & Camila Duet Might Be Coming Soon
by Alex Kritselis
Rachel Murray/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Harmonizers are dying to know: Are Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello releasing a duet? We're still waiting for official confirmation, but so far, all signs point to yes. Over the weekend, a preview of a rumored Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello song called "I Know What You Did Last Summer" mysteriously appeared online. In the 15-second video, two voices sing over an acoustic guitar while two shadowy figures (who look suspiciously like Mendes and Cabello) pose against a smoky blue backdrop. At the end of the clip, "IKWYDLS.COM" appears on screen. (Currently, the website just says "#IKWYDLS" and "COMING SOON.") Hmm. What's going on here?
Billboard reported at the end of September that Mendes and Cabello were planning to record a duet. The pair have been rumored to be dating for a while now, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to think that they may have hit the studio together. Mendes is re-releasing his debut album, Handwritten, as Handwritten Revisited on Nov. 20 with four new songs added to the track list. Could "I Know What You Did Last Summer" be one of them? It's definitely possible.
Fifth Harmony are hard at work on their sophomore LP at the moment, but Cabello said during a recent interview with Latina magazine that each member is free "to do" her "own thing." Was she hinting at a forthcoming tune with Mendes? I wonder. Check out the "I Know What You Did Last Summer" preview below.
Mendes just recently scored his first top 5 single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with "Stitches," and Cabello is arguably the most well-known member of 5H. In other words, they would make quite a powerful musical team! But what's the deal with the title of their rumored collaboration? Is "I Know What You Did Last Summer" a reference to the famous 1997 teen slasher flick of the same name? Honestly, I'm not sure.
The movie premiered before either singer was born, so it would be an odd reference to make. (Also, Halloween is over — hello!) However, the tune's preview video is kind of spooky...
I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens! Hopefully, Mendes and Cabello will give us some "I Know What You Did Last Summer" details very soon.

Pressure mounts on Reynolds for tougher action
Apr. 2, 2020 2:27 pm, Updated: Apr. 4, 2020 12:08 am
Gazette staff and wires
DES MOINES - As pressure mounts on Gov. Kim Reynolds to issue a shelter-at-home order like most other governors in the United States have done, she told a radio interviewer Thursday she might at some point issue such a directive for Eastern Iowa where cases are swelling in Linn, Johnson and Washington counties.
Reynolds, who told the radio interviewer she has not been tested for coronavirus because she has not had any of the symptoms, said she looks at data daily to determine whether a shelter-at-home order would be appropriate for regions of Iowa with higher positive test results.
'Right now maybe as we move into kind of our peak, we might see a region on the eastern side of the state or we might see a particular couple of counties or three that may hit that metric and if they do, then we have to look at additional things that we can do to help shut that down," she told a WHO-AM talk show Thursday.
'And it's not a crisis," she added. 'I think people thought, 'Are you waiting until we're in crisis before you make these decisions?' No. This would be a decision that we would make to keep that curve flat and to be able to address it."
Reynolds has argued that data shows an order requiring people to shelter at home except for essential purposes isn't needed in Iowa. She has imposed other restrictions to slow the spread of the virus, and Thursday extended those.
State public health officials reported Thursday that there were 66 new cases in Iowa of COVID-19, the disease caused by the virus. That brought the state's total to 614 cases and 11 deaths, including two more in Linn County.
One of the most outspoken critics of Iowa's approach to fighting the outbreak has been Eli Perencevich, an epidemiologist and physician who oversees a group of researchers studying infection prevention at the University of Iowa and Iowa City's VA Hospital.
He has called on Reynolds to issue a shelter-at-home order, saying many Iowans aren't getting the message.
'Many citizens are hearing that as if they don't need to shelter at home and maybe only certain people do, like older people," he said. 'The messaging really needs to improve. Until all of us take this seriously it's going to be a longer process for us to come out of our current social distancing interventions."
Perencevich said the metrics used by the Iowa Department of Public Health to recommend stricter or relaxed social distancing interventions are inadequate.
The agency released a document Thursday that it previously had withheld from the public.
The document shows a point system based on the percentage of cases requiring hospitalization, the rate of cases over the last 14 days and number of outbreaks in long-term care centers.
The matrix hold that a shelter-at-home order is not needed until an area racks up 10 points.
A separate map shows Iowa divided into six regions. On it, large swaths of Eastern Iowa including Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waterloo and Davenport are marked as having seven points - the most in the state.
Northwestern Iowa, including Sioux City, in contrast shows the lowest tally - five points.
'By the time you are waiting for specific disease metrics that are not targeting exponential spread, you are many weeks behind the virus," Perencevich argued. 'You are intervening too late."
Governors in more than three dozen states have issued statewide shelter-at-home orders.
Reynolds addressed the criticism Thursday by saying her orders have been done incrementally based on what the data was telling her.
She said Iowa's actions have not been much different from those of states that have shelter-at-home orders.
'My challenge I guess to the individuals out there that think I haven't done enough, I would ask them to go and take a look at other states and recommendations that they've put in their stay-at-home - I don't care what you call it - I'm basing it on data," she said.
Reynolds extended school and business closures through April 30 and Republican legislative leaders quickly followed her lead by saying lawmakers will not return until after that date.
'We have additional things that we're looking at that we may need to ramp up if the numbers and the data drive us to do that," Reynolds said at her new conference.
Democratic legislative leaders joined the call for Reynolds to issue a statewide stay-at-home order. In a letter released Thursday, state Sen. Janet Petersen and state Rep. Todd Prichard said such an order would send a clearer message about the serious nature of the pandemic.
Democratic U.S. Reps. Abby Finkenauer and Cindy Axne of Iowa said they also have sent Reynolds letters calling on her to issue such an order.
For most people, COVID-19 causes mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough that clear up in two to three weeks. Older adults and people with existing health problems are among those particularly susceptible to more severe illness, including pneumonia.
The Associated Press and Rod Boshart from The Gazette contributed to this report.

Hello all; I am sorry the font is so big but it makes it easier for me to see. I have an old 14hp Briggs and Stratton engine that has been giving me start up fits. Is it possible to replace the coil with an electronic coil and will it work? The points have been giving me fits and I would like to do away with. If it will work I will be ecstatic. If someone knows if it will work let me know and if there is any other things that I need to do.
If it is a cast iron block the short answer is no. It can be done but requires the flywheel be sent to the factory to have the magnetic polarity reversed if they still do it. If an aluminum block it is as simple as replacing the coil.
There is one option you can try if it is the cast iron block version that may work if your coil is good. That is the use of an universal ignitor such as the Nova II module. Stens 440-465 Mega-Fire Ignition Module is one that operate on positive ground ignition systems which the old cast iron Briggs used vs the current negative ground systems.
