Win a 9-course degustation for two at this unparalleled fine-dining experience
Words Margie Cooney | PHOTOS Clara-Jane Follas | 23 Jan 2019
Having opened its doors last year, Parnell's newest fine dining institution, Red Wall 1939, is delivering a culinary experience unparalleled for its uniquely Chinese nature. Started by Kevin Liu whose late grandfather, Cheng Ruming, was Chairman Mao's executive chef, the restaurant serves up the gold standard in Chinese Haute cuisine, offering a wholly unique dining experience. If you're yet to book in, or are wondering what a meal at Red Wall 1939 entails, we have rounded up the reasons why it's a culinary experience you need to try, as well as offering a special giveaway to Denizen readers for a nine-course degustation dinner for two (see below for details).
It offers a rare opportunity to sample authentic, Chinese state banquet dishes
The recipes used at Red Wall 1939 were passed down to Kevin Liu from his grandfather who was one of only 16 to be named a culinary master in China, the country's highest accolade for chefs. Offering a seven- or nine-course degustation dinner as well as a daytime high-tea 'Bobo Feast,' Liu has drawn from his experiences working alongside his grandfather and combined the use of fresh, New Zealand-sourced ingredients with his knowledge of Chinese cuisine to create authentic, state-banquet dishes that pay homage to his country of origin. And considering everything is served on delicately hand-painted dinnerware against the backdrop of traditional zither music, it's an experience offering a cultural experience as much as a culinary one.
Its food has a rich history
Cheng Ruming's job was to cook for Chairman Mao, which means that you can expect that the high-tea and degustation will be akin to the kind of food the infamous Chinese leader was served. Beyond that, however, Ruming would be charged with cooking for foreign dignitaries, including the likes of Margaret Thatcher, Richard Nixon, Joseph Stalin, Kim Jong-il and Bill Clinton, mastering a number of different cuisines to cater for the vast array of VIP guests. In Red Wall 1939's private room, pictures of Mao sitting with Nixon and various other historical leaders reminds us of the intriguing history of the food being served. And for an even more exclusive dining experience, there is a separate dining space that has been set up as an exact replica of Chairman Mao's study.
It will extend your palate with unique tastes and textures
Do not confuse the food at Red Wall 1939 with any kind of Chinese you've had before. It cannot be conflated with your Sunday morning yum-cha or mid-week take-out. In both flavour and texture, it is intricate, delicately balanced and surprising. Liu has created dishes that innovatively combine traditional Chinese elements with modern twists so that the lamb fillet with potherb mustard, smoked wood salt and magic mushroom and the Red Wall golden prawn dish is separated by a refreshing watermelon and mint sorbet. Likewise, the nine-course degustation menu is peppered with unexpected delights like the Taro Mouse with golden osmanthus jelly (a traditional Chinese dessert with an over 300-year-old history) and caramelised Hawthorn berry (a soft, tart berry perfect for cutting through the sweeter undertones of a dish).
It's set in one of Auckland's most beautiful gardens
Located in what used to be a sought-after wedding venue in Parnell's rolling Rose Gardens, the white house, Red Wall 1939 allows diners to truly escape the urban bustle for an hour or so and fully immerse themselves in the experience. With calm, elegant interiors that reflect the natural surrounds and only hint at the cultural underpinnings of the food, this restaurant is offering fine-dining in every respect.
It's unlike anything else in this city
The culinary landscape of Auckland may be varied but there is no other restaurant in the city offering a similar experience to Red Wall 1939 and certainly not one with the same kind of pedigree behind it. Liu and his grandfather had already established two restaurants in Beijing and Chongqing (two of the most regularly booked-out in the country) before Liu came here to set up Red Wall 1939, and really, we're just lucky he fell in love with the Rose Gardens on a visit to Auckland, or we might not have a culinary experience like this at our fingertips.

Just sentenced to a 10-day sentence in jail, Joe Kidd (Eastwood) is approached by a rich landowner, Frank Harlan (Robert Duvall), to serve as a guide for a hunting trip of sorts, a hunt for a Mexican causing problems with land rights by the name of Luis Chamas (John Saxon).

But on the trail with Harlan and his posse, Kidd finds out how brutal Harlan can be in his search for Chamas.


If you have a handful of storage cards in your photo bag, there is no need to worry about how many photos you can take before your digital camera runs out of memory. This means that you can easily take dozens of shots of the same subject trying different angles, composition, and lighting. But this also makes the task of picking the best photo from the batch a bit of a challenge. Fortunately, digiKam provides a simple yet efficient tool that can help you to compare and analyze multiple photos side by side and pick the one you like most. The name of this wonderful tool is Light Table, and you can evoke it by choosing Tools -> Light Table from the main toolbar.
This opens an empty Light Table window, and you can add two or more photos by dragging them onto the thumbnail pane (called thumbbar in digiKam) of the window. Alternatively, you can select the photos in an album and use the Ctrl + L keyboard shortcut or the Image -> Place onto Light Table command to add the selected photos to a new Light Table window. You can then add more photos to the current Light Table window by selecting them in an album and choosing the Image -> Add to Light Table command or using the Ctrl + Shift + L keyboard shortcut.
Using Light Table is rather straightforward. If you have added only a pair of photos to the Light Table window, they will be displayed side by side, making it easier for you to examine and compare photos. Press the Synchronize button, and Light Table will keep both photos in sync. So when you zoom in and out or drag one photo, these actions are automatically applied to the other photo, too. You can reorder the photos in the Light Table window using the On left and On right buttons. And if you have more than two photos in the Light Table window, you can view them by pairs by clicking the By Pair button.

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia is an incurable leukemia and the most common hematological malignancy in Manitoba. As the population ages, the incidence of CLL will increase. How we can improve survival of CLL patients and better manage their care requires a collaborative effort where evidence-based research will play a major role. CCMB and the University of Manitoba provide a unique opportunity for us to implement a research cluster to tackle this challenge. We will use existing provincial network to share important clinical findings about screening for second cancers, comorbidities, and referring patients to the CCMB CLL clinic.
Over the last 10 years, the highly productive collaborations between Drs. Gibson, Johnston, Banerji and Marshall continues the legacy of outstanding hematology research in Manitoba. The Cluster aims to bring together researchers, government decision makers, patients, primary care providers and cancer specialists to improve the survival of CLL patients and improve their quality of life in a cost-effective manner. It intends to create new technologies, new approaches to targeted therapy and better understanding of the complex relationship between managing CLL concurrently with other diseases. Looking forward, these results will have an impact on pharmaceutical and diagnostic industries. The Cluster establishes Manitoba as a centre of academic and clinical excellence in CLL.
The Canadian CLL Meeting brings together clinicians and scientists from around the world to discuss the latest research in Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia.


Introduction: George Burdeau is a veteran director and producer, as well as a founding member of Vision Maker Media. He has won both Emmy and Peabody awards for his work and was the first Native American director in the Director's Guild of America. He is known for such films as The Native Americans (1994), Ann of the Wolf Clan (1977) and The White Man's Gift (1980). He is currently working on a documentary project describing the history and impact of the Magna Carta.
Daily Bell: Hello and thanks for the interview opportunity. Can you give us a little more background, explain how you got into this business?
George Burdeau: My mother was a government accountant for the Indian tribes and we led a pretty hectic life when I was a child. I traveled a good deal and went to a number of schools. I also had a talent for art and used to be obsessed by it, drawing up to 200 sketches in a day plus several paintings. As a Native American, I incorporated Indian themes and almost immediately I was a success. As an adolescent I was hanging in major galleries in the US and Europe. I was seen as a prodigy.
Daily Bell: What happened? You didn't stick with it?
George Burdeau: All that success puts an extraordinary amount of pressure on you. I was selected to participate in the annual White House art exhibit, and my painting was featured on the catalog handed out at the White House. I was flown to DC to meet Lyndon Johnson. At the time, I'd just completed a dark painting of a mysterious man standing at a grave, and when Bobby Kennedy saw it, he wanted to buy it. But we told him it was not for sale. He was persistent. Eventually, he called my mother and offered to rent it, which he did. After his death it was returned to us.
Daily Bell: So how did you make the transition to film-making and direction?
George Burdeau: I was in college at the time and I got cancer. The doctor told me I had about six months and I decided, what the hell ... I always wanted to make movies, so I dropped out of school and ended up attending a series of private classes on film-making in New York. I made a film that was good enough to receive interest and my background as a child-artist helped open doors as well. I began to work almost immediately and haven't looked back.
Daily Bell: What happened to the cancer?
George Burdeau: The doctors called me, months later. Of course, they'd been monitoring my progress and I'd been taking chemotherapy. Anyway, they met with me and they seemed very grave. They showed me several X-rays, one at a time, and the upshot was that the cancer was gone! Entirely vanished. This was making them grave because they'd predicted another outcome, as lymphatic cancer is almost always deadly. They wanted to know what I'd done differently in my life that might have helped provide a cure. Unfortunately, I couldn't help them. I didn't know.
Daily Bell: That's some way to start a career.
George Burdeau: I've had it again since then and beat it again. But it's given me the attitude that you ought to live in the moment and try to do what's most important to you.
Daily Bell: Currently – for you – that appears to be a Magna Carta documentary.
George Burdeau: Yes, I'm currently writing a screen treatment for a documentary on the Magna Carta to be distributed via PBS. Of course, until the actual shooting takes place and we have a final sign off from PBS we can't be sure entirely sure that the project will come together, but it looks that way now. I'll get produced one way or another. It's an important topic.
Daily Bell: And why now?
George Burdeau: 2015 will mark the 800th anniversary of the Magna Carta and there are numerous commemorations in the works, including potentially a memorial bank holiday. Basically, you are looking at five years of celebration leading up to the anniversary and our project is intended as an additional commemoration. The initial boost came from the US Supreme Court, which would like to see an educational commemoration – and that's when I became involved.
Exhibitions of the Magna Carta itself are in the works and June 15th 2015 may be declared a public holiday. There are other events as well. Much of it is driven by The Magna Carta Trust, which is behind the holiday. The UK Royal Mint has been asked for a commemorative coin and perhaps a commemorative stamp may be issued. There are commemorations being planned for schools and libraries.
Daily Bell: Give us some of the nuts and bolts.
George Burdeau: The Magna Carta was signed by King John at Runnymede in 1215. The Magna Carta means Great Charter and, contrary to popular understanding, there's not just one but 17 versions. The last one was written in 1300 – and it really was written – hand written – as there were no printing presses then. It guaranteed freedoms, including property rights to "free men" ... though the number of "free men" in question was certainly limited.
Nonetheless, it was a significant statement for the times and a contentious one. It was re-negotiated four times as its parties – the English king versus his earls, bishops and barons – struggled with language and the concessions of power. While its origins resemble a family quarrel, what stemmed from the document was considerable and significant. For the United States it is actually a critical document that was studied by the Founding Fathers.
Daily Bell: Please say more about the ways it influenced the Constitution.
George Burdeau: It influenced the Constitution and Declaration of Independence both. It formally presented concepts of freedom under law and limited government. It set the stage for additional conversations about these issues that have been part of Western tradition as history has evolved. A lot has been made of the heritage of British philosophers like Locke and Hume and economists like Adam Smith, when it comes to tracing the history of the Constitution. But the Magna Carta, you could say, was the document that started it all.
Daily Bell: As you pointed out, the Magna Carta underwent a lot of revisions. Can you give us a little more history on its background and the political and military struggles that surrounded it?
George Burdeau: Sure. Some of this was new to me, too, until I researched it. What was most surprising was that the final Magna Carta differed considerably from the initial one – and was actually a good deal less radical.
George Burdeau: You have to begin with King John, who'd been excommunicated by the Church in 1209, stemming from a quarrel over the appointment of the Archbishop of Canterbury. As a result, he confiscated Church property and then sold it at a profit, investing a good deal in a new English Navy. He invaded Ireland with it and then Poitou – but the constant warring finally caused an uprising among English Barons that began in 1215 and ultimately resulted in the signing of the initial Magna Carta.
John never intended to abide the initial document, which he signed at Runnymede after numerous negotiations. In fact, it was basically discarded within three months. But that wasn't the end, of course, as John fought back in various military campaigns and eventually forced the baronial families to renegotiate.
Nonetheless, the first Magna Carta gives us a significant insight into the issues of the day. The first chapter re-secured the rights of the Church and the rest, some 15 additional chapters, and limited the king's ability to demand various payments from the barons for a variety of state and personal causes. Another 10 chapters were specifically financial in nature, while some others dealt with common law and people's general rights.
It is this last series of chapters that proved to be the lasting impact of the Magna Carta because it put the English king under the umbrella of lawfulness that extended to the rest of his subjects. In other words, the king was not above the law, and it this principle and its various accompanying points that remain relevant today.
Daily Bell: You say that this version didn't last. What was the final outcome?
George Burdeau: King John died in 1216, and a regency council put John's son, King Henry III, in charge. The Magna Carta was reissued but in a much condensed form without many of the concessions that the barons had initially extracted. Nonetheless, the most important parts of the Magna Carta, dealing with people's rights under common law and the king's responsibility to the laws of the land, survived and have been elaborated on to this day.
Daily Bell: You're well known for your general television productions, one of which reached up to 100 million viewers a night during the Brandon Tartikoff era. But you are proudest of your various programs dealing with Native Americans. Given the way that Native Americans were treated by European and British settlers and the US government as well, one can't help but wonder why you're attracted to a story about the Magna Carta. After all, it's part of sociopolitical system that almost exterminated your people and their culture.
George Burdeau: That's a good point, of course. But actually, I'm interested in the Magna Carta and European culture generally because it is so different from my tradition. As a member of the Blackfeet tribe, I'm well aware of what you could call the Native American holocaust. And it's affected me personally, but my interest in these divergent cultures is intellectual. I want to understand the dynamic and how and why it played out the way it did.
Daily Bell: You say it was personal ... in what sense?
George Burdeau: In the most basic monetary sense. When my father died, he left me over US$3 million – which was quite a lot of money at the time. I knew the amount because the US government was holding the money in trust for me and many other members of the tribe. As there was a lot family turnover at the time – a changing of the generations, you could say – the US government became aware as a result of my own queries and numerous others that these funds were being sought and would need to be distributed. But that didn't happen.
George Burdeau: The feds suddenly claimed the money was lost. In three months, my three million had been reduced to about US$1.75 – can you believe it? That's all the balance showed. And this happened to everyone else in my tribe as well. Billions suddenly vanished. These were proceeds of land and resource sales that had been lawfully provided to us by treaty. The US government had served as my tribe's guarantor – collecting the money to "keep it safe."
Daily Bell: What did you do?
George Burdeau: We sued. My cousin handled the case and she was a forensic accountant. She actually found the missing money even though she had to sue the feds about four more times before they finally offered a settlement.
Daily Bell: How much was the settlement?
George Burdeau: The settlement was US$3.4 billion, far less than what we believed we'd lost. My sister, who had cancer by then, accepted it. She'd grown weary. They wear you down.
Daily Bell: Did you get the money?
George Burdeau: Unfortunately, there were conditions. The settlement stated that the dispersal of the funds would be at the discretion of the US government and that the funds would be distributed not just to the Blackfeet but to all Indian tribes. My final total cut came to US$1,500 and I refused it.
Daily Bell: So you can still sue.
Daily Bell: So all the riches of Blackfeet land turned out to be paltry thousands for you and other members of the tribe.
George Burdeau: I'm afraid so. It's one of the issues that has fueled my activism. I'd like to see my tribe receive what's legally due.
Daily Bell: You mention activism. What kind exactly?
George Burdeau: A good deal of it is educational. That's been my personal crusade. I've made numerous films and programs about Native Americans and our culture. I've also lobbied Congress for various projects and services for my people, though without much success. The congressional system is broken and Native Americans don't have much political clout. The cash spigot is mostly turned on for political favors – and most of us are not in a position to grant any. So to politicians we don't count.
George Burdeau: I've tried to involve myself in specific projects that conserve and enhance the culture of the Blackfeet. One big project has to do with language. I'm helping with various programs that are reintroducing the Blackfeet language to native children. It's very important and our kids' grades go up when they begin to become bilingual. It has a good many impacts, all of them positive.
I'm also involved in a Harvard project using digital analysis to quantify the binary code that lies behind the Blackfeet language – and other Native American languages as well. It's been said that Indians did not have writing, but that's actually because they didn't need it. The information of the ages, and their own history, was embedded in the language itself and the hand signs and guttural emphases that accompanied the words. When you have hand-signs, accents and language all combining and recombining, you get an extraordinary amount of condensed information.
Daily Bell: It acted as a kind of code?
George Burdeau: Take Sacagawea, the 13-year-old guide for Lewis and Clark. She had never been much outside of her tribe's territory yet she was able to show Lewis and Clark around the country and also knew how to navigate various rivers. She knew all this because of the language – and the hand signs and accented words she'd memorized. That provided all the information she needed.
Daily Bell: Where did she learn all that?
George Burdeau: Indian education took place around the campfire at night, and consisted in large part of storytelling. Of course, the storytelling worked on several levels, like the language itself – so the lessons were a good deal more significant than we might believe today. As for the rest, it came from seeing and doing – and was usually provided by the parents of the child, and then by elders as needed, as the child came of age.
Daily Bell: From your perspective, Native American culture is a good deal more sophisticated than it's been given credit for.
George Burdeau: It is sophisticated not only in terms of language but also in terms of organization. People seem to believe that a subsistence culture was a necessity for Native Americans but it was not. It was a choice. Tribal peoples are as greedy, bellicose and prone to human frailties as any other group. But the system itself tended to mitigate at least some of those tendencies.
Daily Bell: The system of subsistence?
George Burdeau: Yes. There is every indication that it was a decision taken to live a certain way because other ways had proven disastrous. You see that with South American tribal entities as well. These groups experimented with city-states but certainly in the case of the Maya, those city-states soon began an incessant warring that caused the end of the culture.
Daily Bell: We've written about that – and we're aware of the fashionable explanations as well ... that the cities were abandoned due to crop failure and climate change. It's almost like court anthropologists travel down to these abandoned cities and reflect the politically correct analyses of modern times.
Daily Bell: We've written that people abandoned these city-states because of the human sacrifice and military conscription. They didn't go far, either – simply burned parts of their cities and then melted back into the jungle.
George Burdeau: In South America, they tended to go through cycles of violence and inter-urban warfare. In North America, these confrontations were at least partially avoided by the lifestyle that was adopted.
Of course, I don't want to give the idea that the North American solution was an ideal one. But an economy – a modern Western economy – cannot be healthy unless it is expanding. Subsistence cultures are much different. They are often migratory and the deliberate lack of warehousing creates an entirely different dynamic.
For instance, very few indigenous communities stored beyond a year. Native Americans would jerk meat and store corn but the communal storehouse was limited. And some tribes had very little in the way of resources, especially the tribes that followed the buffalo – and made buffalo a major part of their diet.
Daily Bell: The idea that North American tribes followed a subsistence culture by choice is fascinating on several levels. When you put the language together with the lifestyle, you end up with a system that is probably a good deal more sophisticated than it looks. We're aware, for instance, that the Cherokees used to meet for part of the year in the southern United States for purposes of governance. In fact, the US Constitution and the US government's organization was partially taken from Cherokee system.
George Burdeau: Yes, many tribes were highly organized politically, and there were many different methods of government that were tried over time. Native Americans have a long history in what we call the "New World" – and it's one that included large cities and settlements as well as migratory cultures.
Daily Bell: Which brings us back to the Magna Carta. The Europeans obviously arrived at much different cultural solutions than your people – solutions they inflicted on the tribes when they arrived.
George Burdeau: The most outstanding signature, in my view, is the concept of manifest destiny. It's the idea that people have a right and even a duty to exploit the world around them and take what they can from the earth, even if what's being taken is not replaceable.
Daily Bell: You see that manifest destiny at work in the US, obviously.
George Burdeau: It's everywhere. And, of course, it provided the philosophy that justified the initial takings of the white man. What the Magna Carta did, in my view, is – in a sense – to save Western civilization from itself. You could argue that the consolidated feudalism of the Middle Ages was unworkable. If the Magna Carta hadn't come along, the system would have splintered.
Daily Bell: What you're saying is that the Magna Carta enabled a kind of centralized feudalism to continue.
George Burdeau: It enabled a system that has evolved into what we have today.
Daily Bell: But a lot of people say today's system is collapsing.
George Burdeau: The Magna Carta and then the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution were in some sense part of a formal decentralization of power. But when you look around today, you can clearly see it's not enough. Western governments are extraordinarily powerful and extraordinarily secretive. It's a combination that is culturally unstable.
Daily Bell: So what would you suggest?
George Burdeau: I personally think the system went off-track a long time ago. I don't think it's stable. But my interest in the history of the Magna Carta lies in its decentralizing influences. If Western culture is to survive in any form, it needs sufficient and energetic decentralization. Instead, all the influences are moving in the other direction – toward globalism and regional government.
Daily Bell: We've suggested this, as well. Community and even communal living in which political and economic power is wielded locally – the kind of agrarian republicanism that Thomas Jefferson suggested – is one solution.
George Burdeau: I'm a good deal more radical than that, philosophically. But what you're suggesting is perhaps a good beginning.
Daily Bell: It's better than the centralizing structures we have now. We're hopeful the system will fall apart peacefully rather than through bloodshed.
George Burdeau: However it happens, it will take place – maybe sooner rather than later.
Daily Bell: Thanks for a fascinating interview. Perhaps we can have you back again to update us on the Magna Carta project and to discuss more about Native American culture.
George Burdeau: Sure. Thanks for having me.

Goldman Sachs "Old Days" Not So Rosy Either
By TMC in Economy, Politics
Cross postedfrom The Stars Hollow Gazette
A Goldman Sachs executive resigned in a lengthly and scathing op-ed in the New York Times. Greg Smith worked at Goldman Sachs for 12 years, rising to executive director and head of the firm's United States equity derivatives business in Europe, the Middle East and Africa. His latter shreds Goldman Sachs policies and employees:
To put the problem in the simplest terms, the interests of the client continue to be sidelined in the way the firm operates and thinks about making money. Goldman Sachs is one of the world's largest and most important investment banks and it is too integral to global finance to continue to act this way. The firm has veered so far from the place I joined right out of college that I can no longer in good conscience say that I identify with what it stands for […]
How did we get here? The firm changed the way it thought about leadership. Leadership used to be about ideas, setting an example and doing the right thing. Today, if you make enough money for the firm (and are not currently an ax murderer) you will be promoted into a position of influence.
What are three quick ways to become a leader? a) Execute on the firm's "axes," which is Goldman-speak for persuading your clients to invest in the stocks or other products that we are trying to get rid of because they are not seen as having a lot of potential profit. b) "Hunt Elephants." In English: get your clients – some of whom are sophisticated, and some of whom aren't – to trade whatever will bring the biggest profit to Goldman. Call me old-fashioned, but I don't like selling my clients a product that is wrong for them. c) Find yourself sitting in a seat where your job is to trade any illiquid, opaque product with a three-letter acronym.
Smith lays the blame for this climate of greed at the feet Goldman's CRO, Lloyd Blankfein and the company's president, Gary Cohn.:
When the history books are written about Goldman Sachs, they may reflect that the current chief executive officer, Lloyd C. Blankfein, and the president, Gary D. Cohn, lost hold of the firm's culture on their watch. I truly believe that this decline in the firm's moral fiber represents the single most serious threat to its long-run survival.
Matt Taibbi at Rolling Stone asks, like Forbes, should clients fire Goldman:
Banking, and finance, is a business that has to be first and foremost about trust. The reason you're paying your broker/money manager such exorbitant sums is because that's the value of integrity and honesty: You're paying for the comfort of knowing he has your best interests at heart.
But what we've found out in the last years is that these Too-Big-To-Fail megabanks like Goldman no longer see the margin in being truly trustworthy. The game now is about getting paid as much as possible and as quickly as possible, and if your client doesn't like the way you managed his money, well, fuck him – let him try to find someone else on the market to deal him straight.
These guys have lost the fear of going out of business, because they can't go out of business. After all, our government won't let them. Beyond the bailouts, they're all subsisting daily on massive loads of free cash from the Fed. No one can touch them, and sadly, most of the biggest institutional clients see getting clipped for a few points by Goldman or Chase as the cost of doing business.
Speaking at the Atlantic Economy Summet in Washington, DC, former Federal Reserve Chairman, Paul Volker, said that Smith's letter proves the need for the his rule
"[Trading] is a business that leads to a lot of conflicts of interest. You're promised compensation when you're doing well, and that's very attractive to young people. All these firms can attract the best of American graduates, whether they're philosophy majors or financial engineers, it didn't make any difference," Volcker said.
"A lot of that talent was siphoned off onto Wall Street. But now we have the question of how much of that activity is really constructive, in terms of improving productivity in the GDP," Volcker said. "These were brilliant years for Wall Street by one perspective, but were they brilliant years for the economy? There's no evidence of that. The rate of economic growth did not pick up, the rate of productivity did not pick up, the average household had no increase in their income over this period, or virtually no increase."
Volcker noted that commercial banks hold the money of average Americans, and are insured by the federal government. "Should the government be subsidizing or protecting institutions that…are essentially engaged in speculative activities, often at the expense of customer relations?"
Yves Smith at naked capitalism, who also has been at the Atlantic conference weighed in that those good old days of the '90's weren't as "rosy" as Smith remembers:
Earth to Greg: the old days were not quite as rosy as you suggest, but it is true that Goldman once cared about the value of its franchise, and that constrained its behavior. So it was "long term greedy," eager to grab any profit opportunity but concerned about its reputation. I knew someone who was senior in what Goldman called human capital management, and even though, in classic old Goldman style, he was loath to say anything bad about anyone, he was clearly disgusted of Lloyd Blankfein and the crew that took over leadership after Hank Paulson, John Thain and John Thornton departed. Before the firm before had gone to some lengths to preserve its culture and was thoughtful about how to operate the firm. One head of a well respected investment bank told me in the mid 1990s: "It isn't that Goldman has better people. All the top firms have good people. It's that they make the effort to manage themselves better than anyone else." That apparently went out the window when Blankfein came in. My contact said all his cohort cared about was how much money they could make in the current year.
Wall St. responded defensively calling Smith a "small timer" having a "midlife crisis". That "crisis" so far has lost Goldman $2.5 billion in its market value:
The shares dropped 3.4 percent in New York trading yesterday, the third-biggest decline in the 81-company Standard & Poor's 500 Financials Index, after London-based Greg Smith made the accusations in a New York Times op-ed piece.
Stephen Colbert "disapproves" of Greg Smith, after all Lloyd Blankfeid said Goldman was just doing "God's work."

No matter whether your layout is classic or innovative, cozy or official, ambitious or subdued, your living area must be a destination in which yourself can seem soft, enable down your protect and shell out high-quality period with close friends, loved ones or only by yourself. There's an artwork towards decorating a area that appears great and performs properly for yourself. Hence just before yourself dive into a living area redesign with your skilled, arm by yourself with a few designer guidelines and techniques. Below are some of my favorites.
Decide easy materials. Chatting of upholstery, it's in particular necessary for living area seating towards be not just soft but tough. What this suggests will count upon your loved ones. By yourself could incorporate babies or minor children, animals or not, and they could be messy or tidy. Inside general, mid-tone materials are the most secure guess, as unbelievably light-weight or dark shades will conveniently exhibit soil and wear. Leather-based is a great content material for steering clear of stains given that it can be effortlessly wiped fresh each time a spill occurs. Still, it's ordinarily more effortlessly scratched than greatest materials, hence it could not face up to animals as properly. A leather that now consists of a broken-in physical appearance or a routine can age in particular properly.
Denim and corduroy are 2 other materials that can be inviting nevertheless tough. Plus, they include an surprising twist in contrast with the standard undeniable cotton or wool upholstery yourself typically watch in stores. Whenever picking out fabric for your living area furnishings, physical appearance for a content material with a combination of organic and synthetic materials towards take the easy attributes of both, and if potential do a bend try out of a fabric swatch towards generate positive the weave seems tight and doesn't make clear the backing content material. A tight weave will be more tough than a unfastened one (which leaves a good deal of space for dust towards hide), no issue the content material.
Insert a sprint of shade. Even though yourself can create a eye-catching space devoid of any shiny colors, including even a small little bit of shade towards a living area can shift a lengthy way to designing a cozy and inviting ecosystem. Whenever in doubt, physical appearance towards a cheerful blue — it's a hue that ordinarily absolutely everyone can concur upon. It perfectly contrasts warm components such as leather and wood, and it feels only neutral sufficient towards effort with simply any other long term accessory shades.

7 Unmissable Sightseeing Opportunities in Jordan
By : Anna Vichnevetskaia 04 June 2018
Jordan . Amman . attractions . history . culture . dead sea . Jerash . beaches .
The Middle Eastern country of Jordan is one of the most modern, safe and friendly nations in the region. It offers visitors a chance to learn about its rich history and culture, glimpse at some of the most spectacular sights in the world, and get in touch with magnificent natural wonders. You wouldnt love to miss reading and exploring further about Jordan Treasures, find more on:
Ideas for Jordan Itineraries
Ancient Ruins in Jordan
Jordan Culture, Traditions and Clothing
Sightseeing and Beaches in Jordan
Here are the most important landmarks, attractions and sites you can't miss through Egypt and Jordan Tours
1. Carved City of Petra
One of the most popular places to visit in Jordan is Petra, usually tourists' top reason for choosing Jordan in the first place. This archaeological site is absolutely spectacular. Its rosy-red rock halls date to about 300 B.C.E., and it was the capital of the ancient Nabataean Kingdom. The city is half built, half carved into the desert rocks, which makes for a majestic combination of natural and manmade architecture. One thing not to miss is seeing Petra by night, as the dim lights and looming rocks make for a mystical experience.
2. Ancient Jerash
Fast-forward more than 400 years to the early 100s C.E. when the Romans established Gerasa, known today as Jerash. The archaeological site represents the best preserved Roman ruins outside of Italy, well worth a visit. The city is not far from the Jordanian capital, Amman, which means it can be done as a day trip or with some extra time to spend wandering the streets of modern Jerash. Make sure to visit Hadrian's Arch, the Temple of Artemis, and the South Theatre, which seats up to 3,000 people.
3. Lively Amman
While on a Jordan tour, you'll pass through Amman at one point or another – in fact, the capital is likely to be your first stop. The city offers a surprisingly interesting array of sights for tourists, including Roman ruins, ancient mosques, excellent shopping, and of course delicious foods. Currently, Amman is in continuous growth as it becomes a bigger metropolis, which means that cultural activities are also on the rise. Some top sights in Amman include the ancient Citadel, the Roman theatre ruins, old city streets, the King Abdullah I Mosque, and Ummayad Palace.
4. Wadi Rum Desert
While history buffs will love Jordan, those who seek nature will be mesmerized as well. A true wonder, the Wadi Rum protected desert in southern Jordan is definitely worth a visit on your Jordan tour. The landscapes here are seriously breathtaking, with the 6,000 meter Jabal Umm ad Dami peak looming over what seems to be an endless row of sand dunes and moonlike rock shapes. An experience not to be missed is sleeping at one of the Bedouin camps in the midst of the desert, partaking in local meals and seeing the most beautiful starry sky you'll have ever seen.
5. Dana Nature Reserve
For a different landscape, head to the Dana Nature Reserve. Spanning an impressive 320 square kilometers, the reserve surprises visitors with three different ecological zones. This means that you can see intricate cliffs, 100-meter deep canyons, limestone and granite rocks, desert landscapes, and over 200 species of birds, as well as other wildlife. Most people will opt for guided tours of the area, hiking some of its trails and sleeping in one of the few eco-lodges located directly on the reserve.
6. The Dead Sea
While the Dead Sea may not be your typical day out on the beach, it's definitely worth a visit. You can come here on a day trip from Amman or Aqaba, or stay at one of the local hotels for a few days. The name might not sound inviting, but the Dead Sea is quite neat – being one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world, it allows you to effortlessly float without sinking. Visitors can also get a body mud mask from the mud on the seashore, which contains many minerals. Just be careful not to swim on your belly, as this can be dangerous in the salty water. Nearby, you can also visit the historic Mount Nebo.
7. Aqaba and the Red Sea
Jordan only has one coastal city – Aqaba, located on the Red Sea. The waters here are warm, the weather is wonderful, and it makes for a great base to explore some nearby sites. Wadi Rum mentioned above is easily accessible from Aqaba, particularly if you just want to do a day trip. In the city itself, you can see the Mamluk Castle and the ancient Ayla ruins. Beachgoers will enjoy Palm Beach and can discover the coral reef and marine life of the Red Sea by snorkeling or diving.
From history and culture to nature, Jordan offers visitors plenty of enriching experiences. The ancient cities are unique fragments of bygone times, while local natural wonders will make you feel like you've left Earth as you know it. The country is also well-known for its hospitality, delicious cuisine and wonderful people.

Notorious B.I.G., The - Ready to Die
Double vinyl LP pressing. The Notorious BIG delivered his debut album, Ready to Die, in September 1994. It's lead single, "Juicy," went gold, and the follow-up smash, "Big Poppa," achieved platinum sales and went Top Ten on the pop and R&B charts. Biggie's third single, "One More Chance," tied Michael Jackson's "Scream" for the highest debut ever on the pop charts; it entered at #5 en route to an eventual peak at #2, and went all the way to #1 on the R&B side. By the time the dust settled, Ready to Die had sold over four million copies and turned the Notorious BIG into a Hip Hop sensation - the first major star the East Coast had produced since the rise of Dr. Dre's West Coast G-funk.

Marketers Continue to Struggle With Data Quality & Strategy
Marketers have a wide array of data at their fingertips, but new research suggests that its quality leaves much to be desired.
Salesforce recently published the seventh edition of its "State of Marketing" report, and statistics showed that, on average, B2B marketers have 12 sources of data they can tap into at any given time. In 2022, this is expected to increase to 15, specifically in the B2B marketing sector.
However, only 33% of marketers are "completely satisfied" with their ability to generate more relevant experiences with customer data. About 42% are satisfied with their data's quality/hygiene, and only 40% are satisfied with its completeness. Seventy-eight percent of high-performing marketers have a customer data platform they can turn to, compared to just 58% of underperformers.
Finding a Single Source of Marketing Data
Much of marketers' struggles may be due to the fact that they have too many sources of data. Previous research indicates that several are still challenged to find a single reliable source.
Airtable conducted its "Marketing Trends Report," and the results showed that marketers believe between 20% and 49% of data is duplicated in multiple places, such as spreadsheets, docs, and apps. This indicates that there is not a single source of data that marketers can turn to for all of the information they need.
A "lack of timely data to make strategic decisions" (46%) topped the list of challenges for marketers. This was followed by "gaps in skills or expertise" (41%) and "inefficient workflows" (38%).

Bechtle startet hervorragend ins Geschäftsjahr 2014.
O Bechtle Centrum prasowe Press Releases Bechtle startet hervorragend ins Geschäftsjahr 2014.
Bechtle Reports Excellent Start to Fiscal Year 2014.
Neckarsulm, 14 May 2014 – In the first quarter of 2014, Bechtle AG generated revenues of €586.7 million, an increase of 14.2 per cent. The growth drivers were the e-commerce companies, which gained 16.1 per cent, and the domestic system houses, which went up 14.6 per cent. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) increased 46.0 per cent to €21.2 million. The excellent earnings performance was mainly supported by the IT system house & managed services segment, which was able to boost its EBIT by almost 85 per cent to €13.7 million. As of 31 March 2014, Bechtle had a total of 6,352 employees, 393 more than in the corresponding prior-year quarter.
"Bechtle had an auspicious start into the year. Thus, our optimism at the beginning of the year has been confirmed. The current economic framework conditions indicate a strong fiscal year 2014," explains Dr. Thomas Olemotz, Chairman of the Executive Board of Bechtle AG.
IT System House & Managed Services Again Reports Two-Digit Growth over Prior Year.
In the first quarter, the IT system house & managed services segment managed to increase its revenue 13.2 per cent to €386.4 million (prior year: €341.4 million). The domestic system houses served as the growth driver, stepping up their contribution to the group revenue by 14.6 per cent to €338.8 million (prior year: €295.7 million). In the first quarter of 2014, the segment EBIT went up by a remarkable 84.8 per cent to €13.7 million (prior year: €7.4 million). At 3.5 per cent, the EBIT margin was significantly higher than in the prior year (2.2 per cent). Among other things, this excellent development is the result of the higher service share and the disproportionately low increase in personnel expenses.
In the IT e-commerce segment, the revenue in the first quarter went up 16.1 per cent from €172.5 million to €200.3 million. Domestic revenues climbed 11.2 per cent from €50.8 million to €56.5 million. The e-commerce companies abroad exhibited an even more vigorous growth, boosting their revenues by an excellent 18.1 per cent to €143.7 million (prior year: €121.7 million). Year on year, EBIT increased 5.6 per cent to €7.5 million (prior year: €7.1 million). Due to the revenue growth, the margin decreased slightly from 4.1 per cent to 3.7 per cent.
Financial Strength Enables Further Growth.
As of 31 March, cash and cash equivalents including time deposits and securities amounted to a comfortable €152.0 million. Thus, Bechtle can pre-finance large projects and grow by means of acquisitions without any difficulties. As of the balance sheet date, the equity amounted to €516.4 million. The equity ratio improved from 55.1 per cent to 57.3 per cent. The extrapolated return on equity reached an excellent value of 12.7 per cent.
As of the reporting date 31 March 2014, the Bechtle Group had a total of 6,352 employees, including 434 trainees. This represents a year-on-year increase of 393. The increase of 6.6 per cent is the result of new recruitment as well as acquisitions. In the future, Bechtle will continue to invest in the training of its staff members. As of 31 March 2014, the training ratio in Germany was 8.2 per cent.
From the current perspective, Bechtle is confident that its revenue and earnings position will outperform the prior year in the further course of the year as well. However, in view of the excellent performance in the second half of 2013, the Executive Board expects the growth dynamics to slacken slightly compared to the prior year starting from the third quarter. "In 2014, we want to increase both the revenue and the earnings considerably compared to the prior year. The impressive dynamics and outstanding team performance in the first quarter mean that we are confident that we will indeed achieve these targets," says Dr. Thomas Olemotz.
Bechtle KPIs for the First Quarter of 2014.

Q: On a question of projection in complex Hilbert space The following theorem is from Linear Operators in Hilbert Spaces, Joachim Weidmann.

Let $T$ be essentially self-adjoint on the complex Hilbert space $H$, let $S$ be symmetric with $D(T)\subseteq D(S)$ and let $\|Sf\|\leq a\|f\|+\|Tf\|$ for all $f\in D(T)$ with some $a\geq 0$. Then $T+S$ is essentially self-adjoint.

The first part of the proof:
Let $A=T+S$. We show that $R(\mu-A)^{\perp}=\{0\}$ for $\mu\in\{i,-i\}$. For this, let $(t_{n})$ be a sequence from $(0,1)$ such that $t_{n}\rightarrow 1$. By Theorem 5.28 the operator $A_{n}=T+t_{n}S$ is essentially self-adjoint for any $n\in{\bf{N}}$, and we have
\begin{align*}
\|(A-A_{n})f\|&=(1-t_{n})\|Sf\|\\
&\leq a\|f\|+\|Tf\|-t_{n}\|Sf\|\\
&\leq a\|f\|+\|(T+t_{n}S)f\|\\
&=a\|f\|+\|A_{n}f\|.
\end{align*}
Now let $h\in R(\mu-A)^{\perp}$. As $A_{n}$ is essentially self-adjoint, there exists an $f_{n}\in D(A_{n})=D(A)$ such that
\begin{align*}
\|(\mu-A_{n})f_{n}-h\|\leq\dfrac{1}{n},~~~~n\in{\bf{N}}
\end{align*}
I fail to see why such an $f_{n}$ exists, I know that $G(\overline{A_{n}})=U(G(\overline{A_{n}})^{\perp})$ or $UG(\overline{A_{n}})=G(\overline{A_{n}})^{\perp}$, where $U(x,y)=(y,-x)$, but this does not really give the approximation to that $h$.
Actually the theorem is adopted from a paper by Wust, I have looked up the original paper, it seems that the proof approach is different, so I have no way to fix the gap that I do not understand.

A: If $B : \mathcal{D}(B) \subset H \rightarrow H$ is a densely-defined symmetric operator that is essentially selfadjoint, then the closure of the graph of $B$ is selfadjoint. The graph norm of $B$ is
$$
          \|x\|_{B}^2 = \|Bx\|^2 + \|x\|^2 = \|(B\pm iI)x\|^2,\;\; x\in\mathcal{D}(B).
$$
This is because the symmetry of $B$ gives
\begin{align}
     \|(B\pm iI)x\|^2&=\|Bx\|^2+\langle Bx,\pm ix\rangle+\langle \pm ix,Bx\rangle +\|x\|^2 \\
   &=\|Bx\|^2\mp i\langle Bx,x\rangle+\pm i\langle x,Bx\rangle+\|x\|^2 \\
   &=\|Bx\|^2+\|x\|^2.
\end{align}
The closure $\overline{B}$ of $B$ is selfadjoint. Hence, for every $y\in H$, there exists $x\in\mathcal{D}(\overline{B})$ such that $(\overline{B}+iI)x=y$. So there exists $\{ x_n \}\subset\mathcal{D}(B)$ such that
$$
        \lim_n Bx_n = \overline{B}x,\;\; \lim_n x_n = x.
$$
Hence,
\begin{align}
    \|y-(B+iI)x_n\|^2 & = \|(\overline{B}+iI)x-(\overline{B}+iI)x_n\|^2 \\
  & = \|(\overline{B}+iI)(x-x_n)\|^2 \\
  & = \|\overline{B}x-\overline{B}x_n\|^2+\|x-x_n\|^2 \\
  & = \|\overline{B}x-Bx_n\|^2+\|x-x_n\|^2 \rightarrow 0.
\end{align}

With my wheel fully assembled (yes, the boxes arrived yesterday and I started unpacking them), I decided to get back to some serious spinning action. One night and one morning later, I have this to show for – a smallish heap of underspun singles (there are smallish heaps of fibres all over my tile flooring too), which resulted in plenty of breaks, enough to annoy me into checking if my wheel was set up properly and such.
But really, this is the moment when sagely advice given to me when I first start spinning hits home – practice really makes perfect.
It felt so weird holding the fibres in my hands and trying hard not to let them run away with the spin. I never realized that treading the wheel and controlling the draft at the same time was such hard work until today. Well, maybe that's because I wasn't busy minding Eva at the same time – well, it was more of she minding me. The little one was busy staring at me frowning while drafting the fibres.
Anyway, I discovered that my flyer wasn't exactly aligned properly to the wheel so after, a few twists of the screwdriver, I tested it again with a few spins. The singles are looking better than before so I'm keeping my fingers crossed as to the outcome. Am so hoping that I won't end up with underspun singles like before. Otherwise it would be such a waste of lovely fibre (am utilizing some yummy 50/50 superwash merino-tencel blend).

Fifty year ago... Gonic man lost his life on the Thresher… on his birthday
By Conor Makemcmakem@fosters.com
GONIC — On April 10, Gerine Lavoie was scrubbing the floors of her Oak Street home in preparation for her husband's 28th birthday party. He never made it.
It was 1963 and her husband, Wayne Wilfred Lavoie, had just been transferred to the U.S.S. Thresher (SS 593). Gerine had driven him to work at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard the previous day.
"They called me on the phone and told me the submarine was missing and was presumed lost. It was a complete shock," Gerine recalls. "They knew it was gone, but they had to evaluate everything. The doctor came and gave me something to sleep, but I don't remember sleeping much. I had five small children."
The Navy eventually sent casualty officers to meet Gerine and confirm that Wayne had perished on his birthday along with 128 other personnel. The nuclear powered submarine sank 8,400 feet below the surface, killing all on board.
Second child Brenda was only five at the time.
"My mom came from a very large family and my aunts and uncles were there for us. We just had a great big, wonderful family that filled the gap," Brenda recalls. "He was sorely missed. I think when you're that age, you believe your dad is invincible, there's no way he's dead. He had a concussion and was coming back any day."
Gerine and Wayne were high school sweethearts, both graduating in 1953 from Spaulding High School in Rochester. They were married at St. Leo's Church in Gonic in 1955. Wayne always referred to her as "Jerry."
"His birthday was in April and mine was in May," Gerine says. "He was very well liked. He was a high school athlete, played baseball, basketball and football. They didn't have hockey at Spaulding at that time."
Nicknamed "Moose," he was also president of the student government. He was a commanding figure, standing six foot four inches tall and weighing 220 pounds when he began service on the Thresher.
A 1963 Rochester Courier, written shortly after the sinking, quoted Gerine as saying, "He was a submariner, through and through. It was his career and he loved it. He used to talk about joining the Navy even in our going-around days at Spaulding High School."
Wayne was a member of the Shamrock basketball team in the City Church League and was active in 4-H activities, serving as counselor when he was only 16. During his nine years in the Navy, he was awarded the Navy's Good Conduct Medal, the National Defense Service Medal and the China Service Medal.
Gerine remarried a year and a half after the disaster. She and her second husband, Warren "Bud" Ranagan, had a son, James, together, but divorced after 18 years. Now she spends her winters in Florida and summers in Shapleigh, Maine. She made a special early return for a ceremony in Kittery, Maine marking the 50th anniversary of the sinking of the Thresher.
The event, held April 6, took place around a newly raised 129-foot flagpole in the center of Memorial Circle on US Route 1, which stands as a permanent memorial to the 129 men who perished in the accident. More than 314 contributors donated $138,000 to the Thresher Memorial Project Group for the symbolic memorial.
Gerine and her children, most of whom attend the Thresher Ceremony every year, were all there for the special 50th anniversary. Her children created a memory board and brought it to the event. Gerine didn't know too many people at the event as Wayne had transferred from the Albacore just weeks before the Thresher disaster. But she did become friends with a few wives who occasionally got together for support after the ordeal.
"There's always some talk about Wayne," Gerine says. "You start a new job and you talk about it."
Brenda still has fond memories of her father.
"He'd get mad at me for calling him Wayne. He'd say, 'That's not my name.' I remember being chased through the house. I remember waiting for him a lot, usually a couple weeks at a time or sometimes six months at a time."
She adds that her father's passing left a hole in everyone's life, that she and her siblings always longed to "have our dad."
Son Joseph Lavoie retired from the Navy after 27½ years, but still works at the Navy Yard. Gerine's other children are Linda Durant (who works at Spaulding High School, where the couple met), Brenda Kessler, Karen Varney, Cynthia Lavoie and James Ranagan. Linda was six years old when her father died, Brenda, five, Karen, four, Joseph two and Cynthia, six weeks. All, including James, still live in and around Rochester.

Is My Principal Safe in a Money Market Bank Account?
Your deposits in most money market bank accounts are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), and they are among the safest places you can put your savings. That's important because, when it comes to your cash savings, many financial experts say the security of your principal—the money you've deposited in an account—should be a priority. Available at FDIC-member banks like Ally Bank, FDIC insurance protects you against losses if the bank or savings association should fail. Visit the FDIC website to learn more.
It's important to understand that money market accounts are different from money market funds. Money market funds offered at brokerage or investment firms, while considered relatively safe, are not insured by the FDIC.
For even more security and peace of mind, go with a bank that has a solid reputation and an established track record. At Ally, our commitment to our customers has been at the core of who we are since the beginning. Our great rates, range of products, customer support and convenient access have earned us "Best Online Bank" from Money magazine five years in a row.

Jones wants to give coach a perfect farewell
Steady hand: Wales' Alun Wyn Jones
By Andrew Baldock
Alun Wyn Jones says it would be good to send Warren Gatland out of the Six Nations arena exactly how he entered it with Wales - as a Grand Slam winner.
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/sport/jones-wants-to-give-coach-a-perfect-farewell-37919354.html
https://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/incoming/9afbf/37919904.ece/AUTOCROP/h342/166__1_-_Read-Only_.jpg
Head coach Gatland's Wales Six Nations adventure started in triumphant fashion 11 years ago when his players were crowned unbeaten champions.
It was Wales' second clean sweep in four seasons following a Mike Ruddock-inspired success in 2005, while they repeated the feat under Gatland four years later.
If Wales beat Ireland in Cardiff today, they will claim another title and Grand Slam in Gatland's final Six Nations game at the helm.
It would also be a Five or Six Nations record for any coach, and provide Wales with a dream send-off into this year's World Cup, which will be Gatland's swansong before he steps down.
"He has a bit left on his contract, so we won't let him get too far ahead," Wales captain Jones said.
"But he came in with one (Grand Slam), and it would be nice for him to leave with one.
"There is a big 80 minutes before we can look at the romantic and sentimental side of it.
"It's his last Six Nations, but there is a bit to go yet, so we are not going to let him sail off into the sunset just yet."
A Wales win - they have claimed 13 successive Test victories since Ireland toppled them at the midway point of last season's Six Nations - would see Jones join an exclusive club.
It would be his third Six Nations Grand Slam, which is a feat achieved by just three other Wales players - Gethin Jenkins, Adam Jones and Ryan Jones.
"There are a lot of different people to the ones that have been involved before," Jones added.
"I've said before, the closer you get to something like this, the further away you can be sometimes.
"Ask any rugby player - this is what you dream about.
"We are at home, with what is going to be a great atmosphere, and these are the occasions you work for."
