120 Years of Style
Skylar Lanier,
John Sussman explains the success of Savannah's oldest shoe store.
Broughton Street has seen a vast amount of change over the past 120 years, but Globe Shoe Company has always kept its front window displays stocked to the brim with reliable and stylish shoes.
How has Globe achieved this feat? According to its owner, John Sussman, who inherited the family business that his grandfather started in the 1930s, the longevity of the business comes down to a few key elements: constant innovation and enduring principles of business.
As a buyer for his store, Sussman is always in pursuit of new brands and style trends, while also maintaining classic and practical styles. Updating stock keeps Globe on the front end of fashion, and keeps customers coming back.
Underlying the ever-changing array of shoes, however, is Globe's drive to maintain real relationships with both its vendors and its customers through loyalty, communication and personalized service.
Globe prides itself on the uniquely customizable experience it provides its customers.
"We carry brands from around the world that you can't get other places," says Sussman. "We also provide rare sizes and widths to ensure that we can deliver a great shoe for every customer that walks in."
The store's access to the inaccessible has been an asset to both of its Savannah locations. Globe's Broughton store sees new customers every day, visiting from all corners of the country, and locals know they can go to Globe's newer store in Savannah's Twelve Oaks Shopping Center to find a stylish and comfortable pair of shoes with the help of staff members who are eager to please.

Navajo Nation rescinds mask mandate on vast reservation
admin Native News 0
The Navajo Nation has rescinded a mask mandate that's been in effect since the early days of the coronavirus pandemic, officials announced Friday, fulfilling a pledge that new tribal President Buu Nygren made while campaigning for the office.
The mandate was one of the longest-standing anywhere in the U.S. and applied broadly to businesses, government offices and tourist destinations on the vast reservation, which extends into New Mexico, Utah and Arizona. The tribe at one point had one of the highest coronavirus infection rates in the country and among the strictest measures to help prevent the spread of the virus.
Nygren and Navajo Nation Council Delegate Otto Tso, who temporarily is overseeing the tribe's legislative branch, jointly announced the lifting of the mask mandate on social media Friday evening.
They cited figures from tribal health officials that show there's a low risk of transmission, based on the seven-day incidence rate of 51 cases per 100,000 people.
The number of positive cases overall during the pandemic still remains higher in the Navajo region than any other Indian Health Service region, except for Oklahoma. The Navajo Nation has tallied more than 2,000 COVID-related deaths since the pandemic began.

Jade Software finds new ways to innovate.
After nearly 40 years, Jade Software is ramping up its efforts to become one of New Zealand's most innovative companies, rolling out new initiatives, and building a new online hub as a meeting place for employees' bright ideas.
Last year, the Christchurch-based company launched the Thinkubator programme, an innovation initiative aimed at generating a pipeline of new ideas, and potential products for market.
The results were encouraging, meaning that 2015 has seen an additional three Thinkubator sessions scheduled, providing staff with the space they need to tackle problems they wouldn't normally have time to think about.
"The Thinkubator programme has generated ideas that improve current products, create new uses for existing tools, and bring brand new ideas to the table," says David Lindsay, managing director, Jade Software.
"We look over each and every idea, size up the opportunity, build a business case, and turn the best ideas into products that we can take to market. So far we have four ideas under exploration with one idea set to become a new product.
"The chance to take on new challenges creates a real buzz in our offices, while also expanding our collaborative team building culture across each of our global locations.
Lindsay says the continual drive for innovation makes the Thinkubator an essential programme that Jade will continue to invest in as the business' and customers' needs evolve.
Lindsay adds that Jade has built an online hub to nurture creative ideas, which ensures that no matter where the idea comes from it is reviewed and systematically assessed.
"The Innovation Hub invites submissions from all over the company, giving anyone with a unique idea an easy way to present their idea to our innovation team," he adds. "All ideas are welcome.

Q: How would a programmer approach this text processing task? Some background
I'm asking how a programmer would approach this task because I'm not really a programmer. I'm a grad student studying quantitative social science, and while I've been programming consistently for a year now I have no formal training.
I'm not concerned about implementing a generic algorithm. I'm happy to work in Bash, AWK, R, or Python. I've also written small snippets of code (beyond "hello world," but not much further) in Java, C, JavaScript, and Matlab. However, if there's some language or some feature of a language that would make this task easier or more natural, I'd love to know about it.
Instead, I'm interested in algorithms and data structures. What do I grab, when do I grab it, where do I save it, etc.? I imagine I could probably do all this with a few cleverly-constructed regular expressions, and I am pretty comfortable with intermediate-level regex features like lookarounds, but anything I make up on my own will undoubtedly be hacky and ad-hoc.
The task
What I have is code (it happens to be in R) that looks something like this, where #'s indicate comments:
items = list(
    day1 = list(
    # a apples
    # b oranges
    # c pears
    # d red grapes
    # m.
      # 1 peanuts
      # 2 cashews
        type1 = c("a", "b", "d", "m.2")  # this returns a vector of strings
        type2 = c("c", "m.1")
    ),                                   # this returns a list of vectors
    day2 = list(
    # a apples
    # b oranges
    # c pears
    # d red grapes
    # e plums
    # m.
      # 1 peanuts
      # 2 cashews
      # 3 pistachios
        type1 = c("a", "b", "d", "e", "m.2")
        type2 = c("c", "m.1", "m.3")
    )
)                                       # this returns a list of lists of vectors

and what I would like instead is code that looks like this:
items = list(
    day1 = list(
        type1 = c(
            "apples" = "a",
            "oranges" = "b",
            "red grapes" = "d",
            "cashews" = "m.2"
        ),
        type2 = c(
            "pears" = "c",
            "peanuts" = "m.1"
        )
    ),
    day2 = list(
        type1 = c(
            "apples" = "a",
            "oranges" = "b",
            "red grapes" = "d",
            "plums" = "e",
            "cashews" = "m.2"
        ),
        type2 = c(
            "pears" = "c",
            "peanuts" = "m.1",
            "pistachios" = "m.3"
        )
    )
)

Some things to note:

*

*I can rely on the commented text following that format.

*I cannot rely on the naming for day1 being "nested" inside the naming for day2. Some of the letters might swap around.

*I can rely on there being the same number and name of types within days.

*The vertical spacing isn't important; I mostly just want to get the comments into the code as shown, although having the script do all the spacing for me would be a nice touch.

So, how would a programmer approach the task of programmatically turning the first code snippet into the second? I can have it done in about 15 minutes of copying and pasting, but I'd like to learn something here. And again, I'm not asking for pre-written code, I'm just looking for some direction since right now I'm just groping in the dark.

A: Given your sample of code it should be doable by putting together a transformation that consists of a couple steps.  At a high level you'd need to read the comments into a data collection that you can query, then parse the code and do a find/replace referencing the data collection.
Without getting in too deep this might look like:

*

*Generate a text file of only the comments.  Using a regex with the intent of "find all lines that start with whitespace, then a #" (something like ^\s*#.*$) would give you a result like:

# a apples
# b oranges
# c pears
# d red grapes
# m.
  # 1 peanuts
  # 2 cashews
# a apples
# b oranges
# c pears
# d red grapes
# e plums
# m.
  # 1 peanuts
  # 2 cashews
  # 3 pistachios

*Using the above results you can utilize some basic text parsing to break down each line.  To handle the m. cases requires some assumptions.  Based on your sample I'd start with some pseudocode like:

For each line
  Get the first character after the # and call it "key"
  Find the word after the letter and call it "value"

  If the key is a letter
    Add "key" => "value" to the dictionary
    Next line

  If the key is a number
    Get the last key added to the dictionary and call it as "parentkey"
    Add "parentkey"+"key" => "value" to the dictionary
    Next line

This would give you a structure like this:
{
  "a": "apples",
  "b": "oranges",
  "c": "pears",
  "d": "red grapes",
  "m.": "",
  "m.1": "peanuts",
  "m.2": "cashews",
  "a": "apples",
  "b": "oranges",
  "c": "pears",
  "d": "red grapes",
  "e": "plums",
  "m.": "",
  "m.1": "peanuts",
  "m.2": "cashews",
  "m.3": "pistachios"
}

You can clean out the empty "m." entries by iterating over it and removing items with an empty value.

*At this point you can iterate over your dictionary and perform an find/replace in your code file:

For each dictionary entry (key, value)
  Find strings like "key" and replace with strings like "value" = "key"

All in all it's not terribly efficient or elegant, but it's not difficult to code and should work.  Granted there's probably additional details to consider (there always are) but this is a fairly simple approach given your samples.

A: I would use a quick regular expression substitution to reduce the work to do and then fix it up by hand.  For example you get over halfway there with:
s/# (\w+) ([\w ]+)/"\2" = "\1"/

The exact regular expression to write and how you use it depends on your tool.  Different editors and programming languages are very different.  Google for what you are using to learn more.  (You may have multiple easy options - a Python command line would use one syntax, and the vi editor a different one.)
If you have to do this task regularly or for more code, then you would need to learn about parsing.  Which is a lot more work (too much to be worthwhile for something like this if you don't have code sitting around to do it) but also a lot more powerful in the long run.

Early voters who need a ride to the polls have a new option this year that, in a way, kind of resembles Uber.
Democracy North Carolina and partner organizations rolled out a new ride request service that is manned by volunteers across the state. Voters who need a ride to the polls can either call the hotline at 888-482-7353 or request a ride online.
Cheryl Ellis, special campaigns coordinator at Democracy NC, said Thursday that there were about 20 to 25 calls on the first day of early voting. Turnaround to get people to the polls is usually 24 hours or less, she said.
The organization offered similar service in 2014 in Charlotte and took between 200 and 300 people to the polls, showing a real need in the state for the program.
"We're just hoping to fill that gap," Ellis said.
She added that most of the calls Thursday were in the Winston-Salem and Greensboro area, with a few in Charlotte and in Wake County.
Volunteers with the NAACP are helping out and individuals can volunteer to give rides through the program.
Jen Jones, a spokeswoman with Democracy NC, said she hoped the service would also be helpful to voters in eastern counties, where flooding was an issue after Hurricane Matthew.
During the early voting period, voters without transportation to the polls can schedule a free ride online at ncvoter.org or by calling NC Rides to the Polls directly.
Organizers in each county receive these requests, and confirm voters' location and availability.
Organizers schedule volunteer drivers to pick up single voters at home, or orchestrate larger pickups at campuses and other central locations.
Community organizations, such as churches or schools, can participate by rallying groups of voters to use the service, or by volunteering transportation.
After ballots have been cast, drivers deliver voters back home.


So in theory, this design is supposed to work with the Thingiverse Customizer, which is basically just a web front-end for OpenSCAD. You get nice little sliders and dialog boxes, and once you have all your information entered, it will render you a custom STL to download. It's arguably one of the best ideas MakerBot has come up with in regards to how Thingiverse works. Unfortunately, at the time of this writing, Customizer doesn't seem to work anymore and just gives an error about missing libCGAL.so.10. Sigh.
In that case, we'll need to download the .scad file from the "Thing Files" tab and open it up in OpenSCAD locally. All the configuration values are up at the top of the file and clearly labeled, which makes this fairly easy.
Obviously, you're going to want to adjust the overall box dimension variables at the minimum. But there are also a whole set of options for PCB standoffs (position, diameter, screw size, etc), as well as options related to the built-in vents.
Making use of the OpenSCAD import(); function, you can bring in an STL of an existing PCB and see exactly how it will look in the rendered case. As a demonstration, I'll be making a small enclosure for the Pi Zero, so I've imported an STL of it and used that to align the PCB standoffs. But even if you don't import an STL to use as a guide, there's a helpful "ghost PCB" that floats around inside the case while your editing the file in OpenSCAD.
These options selectively turn on and off the different parts of the model for when it comes time to export the STL. If you don't turn the other parts off before export, you'll just get a useless "assembled" STL.
Unfortunately, the script is not smart enough to reposition the objects for STL export; so you'll have to manually flip over the top piece in your slicer, for example. Another annoyance I found is that, even if you turn off the bottom of the case (BShell), the PCB feet still remain. You need to go back up to the script configuration settings and turn them off manually, look for the option called "PCBFeet".
Having worked with OpenSCAD for a while I know why [Heartman] wouldn't have included rotating the parts on export: it's a whole lot of code to implement something that the end user can do with a click in their slicer. But making sure the PCB standoffs aren't rendering when the user is just trying to get the top or side panel is a fairly big omission and would really only take a single conditional statement to fix.
Finally, there is some early support for generating customized front and rear panels, including functions to generate openings and labels. But personally, I would suggest just taking the blank panel generated by the OpenSCAD script and importing it into a 3D CAD program your comfortable with. The panel generation code just isn't ready for prime-time, in my opinion.
The design that [Heartman] has come up with for the case is really quite clever, and shouldn't pose a problem printing. There are no overhangs so support is unnecessary, though you may want to turn off the vents if your printer has issues with stringing, as the thin openings can get clogged up. I printed my case at 0.2 mm layers and 15% infill, though larger cases could probably get away with 0.3 mm layer height for the sake of speed.
The design is forgiving in terms of tolerances, and no cleanup was needed after printing to get the parts together. The fit on the front and rear panels is perfect; loose enough that they don't need to be sanded to git in the channels but tight enough that they don't rattle around once the lid is screwed down. Incidentally, you must screw the lid down, as the two pieces don't actually have any interlocking components. A potential improvement to the design would be a way to make the lid snap-fit.
Overall, I think the enclosures generated by the "Ultimate Box Maker" OpenSCAD script are fantastic. They look extremely professional, are very sturdy, and print easily. This is definitely a design I'll be adding to my regular bag of tricks going forward.
I especially like that this is a printable design that clearly addresses a valid need. One-off projects need one-off enclosures, and 3D printing is perfect for that. While we've previously covered printed tools that deserve a spot on your bench, the argument could always be made that you'd be better off buying the "real thing". But I believe this project offers a solution which is actually superior to traditional methods in a number of ways.
Thingiverse's Customizer dropping the ball on this one is especially annoying, as [Heartman] went through the trouble of making sure his design worked with it — there's some special syntax Thingiverse has you add to OpenSCAD to make their front-end work. Having a web-based tool to generate custom enclosures would be extremely handy, and I wonder if somebody in the community might just take up the challenge of restoring the service MakerBot seems not to maintain?
openscad is easy. it's easier to just make your own enclosure from scratch, especially if it's as simple as this one.
As a person who uses CAD every day for work, OpenScad just blows my mind. I don't understand how anyone would be willing to use it. Bravo…I guess?
Well, if you've ever needed to make almost exactly the same part many times, you would understand. Boxes are a perfect example, where you might want everything to be the same – wall thickness, edge radius, ventilation slot patterns – but in a different size. There are CAD programs that make this relatively easy, and I guess you could also write Python or C programs to generate STL files, but OpenSCAD includes all the nice 3D things like intersections and unions. Using OpenSCAD is a little like getting fed up with manually renaming a gazillion files using a GUI file explorer, and instead writing a program to do it for you. Doesn't pay off if you only have a need for two or three custom boxes, but pays off over time.
In my youth I dabbled with POV-Ray.
OpenScad uses the same principles, so to me it's easy to think in only few elements and think about the interections and differences.
As a typical hackaday reader, I have one thing to say: A bunch of freaking paragraphs.
Very cool. I'd countersink those screws for aesthetics.
It's not a bad place to start and definitely a great effort. I've used it a couple of times and have had issues with the tabs that extend to hold the case together printing well (and holding everything tight), so I modded it to use heatset inserts and screws instead of the side tabs. It's also a great learning tool if you're just getting started with OpenSCAD (like I am).
It's nice if you want to throw something quick together. I'd prefer my own design though, often with the minimum possible size in mind. I now also have a cnc router which is great for larger boxes. It's often quicker to mill something out that's large than to 3D print it. And the option of mixed materials like wood, acrylic and aluminium is also great.
I use a parametric solidworks model for milling boxes out on my cnc machine. I almost feel like i should turn around and make one from openSCAD for other people. I think the largest challenge is the work holding and that a single setup on a CNC machine is hard to design, Its not impossible but it creates limitations.
I'm not convinced snaping togetherness would be an improvement, it tends to lead to gouging the case to open it and/or not bothering with the screws later on.
Nice looking case. I like the two colors as well. In the past I would modify an existing case as opposed to a Hammond enclosure to get a "professional" look, but 3d printing is getting close (I'm talking hobbyist printers).
Has anybody had luck using this with http://www.rollapp.com/ ?
Customizer is working for me.
Are you actually seeing a preview of the STL? You have to scroll down to see the error message.
Thingiverse's customizer hasn't worked for me for months. However, OpenSCAD does have a version that is capable of customization locally. The most updated build has this disabled as of a few weeks ago, but if you download and install the development snapshot, and enable customizer it will enable you to customize the customizer-enabled files downloaded from thingiverse locally.
I've not really gotten into 3d printing, but this is the kind of thing that makes me think about getting one, could definitely be useful.
Too bad clicking open in customizer does not work. They say it may work if you download and install ope scad and some other piece to it, but they also said the customizer would work. It would be nice if HAD checked this stuff out first.
We actually build a web-based configuration tool to generate custom enclosures.
While I appreciate people developing things I might have a use for, and make them available free of charge, I'm afraid I can't use your work because it is poisoned by the restrictive licensing it inherits from Ultimate-Box-Maker.
I do understand that people like to get credit for their work, but when they use COMPLETELY free – free as in beer, free as in speech – tools like OpenSCAD, and then put restrictions on their comparatively small investment, they just show how little they understand the concept of Free-and-Open-Source-Software. I'm afraid I'm going to have to develop my own parametric box system, just so there will be a free one available. This isn't rocket science.
I should also point out that th Ultimate-Box-Maker is restricted to NO COMMERCIAL USE, so by not including this in your restrictions, you are violating the Share-Alike terms.
Forgetting to include non-commercial was an oversight which I fixed. I thought I used the same license as the original. It is indicated that way in github, as I kept the original license file. I can't change the license since the original used that license. Is there a way to say my changes aren't CC so you only have to give credit to Heartman? To be honest, I re-wrote almost every single line of code. It only resembles the original in functionality.
I'm no expert on this, but I was thinking about adding some extensions to the Ultimate-Box-Maker myself, and the fact that it had that clause stopped me. I also considered looking at his code and just doing the same thing a slightly different way, but this would be unethical and possibly illegal. I believe that the code for making parametric boxes is simple enough that I can do it myself without looking at any of Heartman's code, and this would avoid any ethical conflict. Heartman certainly has no claim to the idea of a parametric project box. Since you acknowledge that your design is based on Heartman's, this binds you to his restrictions. That's my opinion. Now, if there's really very little of his code left, and that code of his is not particularly unique or clever (i.e., it's just what would be the obvious thing to do based on OpenSCAD's capabilities), then it might be that what he makes claim to is just his own implementation, so it might be sufficient to purge your code of any vestiges of his, and then remove the "derived from" notice, but I think that would just invite a conflict.
I'm not sure why so many commenters are so concerned that Thingverse's customizer doesn't work. Have we become so dumbed-down by the AGUI (Almighty Graphical User Interface) that we are too frightened to change values at the top of a text file? It's not like you need to see the box change as you drag a slider – if you need a box for a particular purpose, you type in the dimensions, whether it's in a GUI wizard or at the top of a text file. What's the big deal? I mean, how is it easier to type a number into a box labeled "Length" than it is to change the number in a line of text that says "Length = 160;"????
Oh, I see, you don't want to be making changes to the master file. Well, there was an ancient trick used back in the age of dinosaurs and command lines: you make a copy of the master file, and edit THAT.
Once you figure out that "//" means that everything from that to the end of the line is instructions or clarification for the user, rather than code, it's hard to imagine anyone able to operate a 3D printer, who can't figure out how to change the parameters in OpenSCAD's editor.

Year 335 BC was a year of the pre-Julian Roman calendar. At the time, it was known as the Year of the Consulship of Calenus and Corvus (or, less frequently, year 419 Ab urbe condita). The denomination 335 BC for this year has been used since the early medieval period, when the Anno Domini calendar era became the prevalent method in Europe for naming years.

Events
 By place

 Greece
 Returning to Macedonia by way of Delphi (where the Pythian priestess acclaims him "invincible"), King Alexander III of Macedonia advances into Thrace in order to secure the Danube as the northern boundary of the Macedonian kingdom. After forcing the Shipka Pass and crushing the Triballi, he crosses the Danube to disperse the Getae. Turning west, he then defeats and shatters a coalition of Illyrians who are invading Macedonia.
 A rumour that Alexander has been killed by the Illyrians leads the Thebans and Athenians to take up arms again. Alexander defeats the Greeks and razes Thebes. In Thebes, 6,000 people are killed and all survivors are sold into slavery.
 After conquering Thebes, Alexander demands the surrender of the mercenary commanders, Chares and Charidemus, among others. Chares escapes to the Troad while Charidemus is banished and flees to Persia.
 The admiration of Alexander for the Athenian orator and diplomat, Demades, leads the conqueror to treat Athens leniently despite its involvement in the rebellion. A special Athenian embassy led by Phocion, an opponent of the anti-Macedonian faction, is able to persuade Alexander to give up his demand for the exile of the leaders of the anti-Macedonian party, particularly Demosthenes.
 Aristotle returns to Athens from Macedon and opens a peripatetic school in an old gymnasium called the Lyceum. It contains a museum of natural history, zoological gardens and a library.

 Roman Republic
 Marcus Valerius Corvus is elected consul of the Roman Republic for the fourth time.
 Cales (modern Calvi), a city in Campania, is taken by the Romans and a Roman colony is established there.

Q: C# import a structure from C DLL I have the following C header for two structs:
struct CustomerInfo
{
    char* Id;
    char* Name;
    char* Address;
};

struct CustomerList
{
    CustomerInfo* Info;
    CustomerList* Next;
};

Which is a simple list.
A function is exported so that the CustomerList is returned (or better the pointer to it)
EXPORTC CustomerList* ListCustomer(void* bankPtr)

bankPtr is a not a problem here, there is a function which will return it.
Here is how I call the function in C#:
    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
    public struct CustomerInfo
    {
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 3)]
        public IntPtr Id;
        public IntPtr Name;
        public IntPtr Address;
    }

    [StructLayout(LayoutKind.Sequential, CharSet = CharSet.Ansi)]
    public unsafe struct CustomerList
    {
        [MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.ByValArray, SizeConst = 2)]
        CustomerInfo* Info;
        CustomerList* Next;
    };

    ...

    [DllImport("bank.dll", EntryPoint = "ListCustomer", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.Cdecl)]
    private unsafe static extern Customer* _ListCustomer(int bankPtr);

Then the function itself:
    public unsafe static CustomerList* ListCustomer()
    {
        CustomerList* c = _ListCustomer(Init());

        return c;
    }

But the variable c has not the fields that I want to access.
What is the error in my doing? Is it possible to pass a struct this way? The functions are C exported, not C++, I found some examples for C++.
Update:
I tried accessing it the following after making the changes from NineBerry:
public unsafe static CustomerList* ListCustomer()
{
    CustomerList* c = _ListCustomer(Init());
    Console.Write("customer list: " + (int)c);

    string name = new string(c->Info->Name);

    return c;
}

Which procudes this error:
CS0193  The * or -> operator must be applied to a pointer

Update #2:
Using NineBerrys approach I got it working somehow, but the pointers seem to point in the wrong directions.
I printed out name, address and id:
Name    ???????t??\P???????????
adr     ?????????????2?????????????
Id      ????????????????????????????C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\VCRUNTIME140D.dll

Name    ???????t??N
adr     ?????????????2???????
Id      ???????????????????????▒????????

These are the results.

A: Declare the structs like this:
 public unsafe struct CustomerInfo
 {
      public sbyte* Id;
      public sbyte* Name;
      public sbyte* Address;
 }

 public unsafe struct CustomerList
 {
      public CustomerInfo* Info;
      public CustomerList* Next;
 };

For example, to access the name of the first customer:
string name = new string(c->Info->Name);

BIS, Swiss National Bank and SIX Announce Successful Test of CBDC
The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) in a cooperation with the Swiss National Bank (SNB) and the financial infrastructure operator SIX announced the successful completion of a joint experiment of a central bank digital currency (CBDC).
According to an official press release, the so-called Project Helvetia demonstrated "the feasibility and legal robustness" in a near-live setup. The financial institutions found that a CBDC has "potential advantages when settling digital assets." However, a possible issuance of a digital currency would raise policy and governance hurdles, the BIS says.
BIS: Discussion on CBDC Comes Into Sharper Focus
Benoît Cœuré, Head of the Bank for International Settlements' Innovation Hub (BISIH), says CBDC's design and implications deserve close study and consideration in case wholesale CBDCs "are to fulfil their potential as a new means of settlement."
"This is only possible via continued deliberations and experimentations among central banks and with other stakeholders, such as market supervisors and the private sector," Cœuré added.
The BIS is planning to continue its work on researching CBDCs to better understand the practical issues and policy implications. Different design choices that allow for trade-offs between risks and benefits need to be explored, the international financial institution emphasized.
China Urges G20 to Create Unified Standards for CBDCs
Earlier in November 2020, Oki Matsumoto, Monex Group's Chairman and CEO, expressed an opinion that digital currencies issued by central banks will speed up the adoption of cryptocurrencies as digital economy will simplify the process of converting between legal tender and cryptocurrencies.

It is one year since Sir Bobby passed away, he is still missed and I am sure chants of "there's only one Bobby Robson" will always be sung by the fans. RIP to a great man!


The use of pictures, signs and motifs were put to good use by Native American Indians when writing in symbols. Pictograms using symbols conveyed their ideas in basic pictures of visible objects on various forms such as on their war paint, weapons, the bark of trees and the skins of animals with which they made their clothes and tepees.
The content of this website is filled with authentic images and pictures of men and women from various tribes. Every picture really does tell a story. The symbols on their war paint and the pictures and signs that decorated their homes hold secret messages - for those that can read them. Creating a pictogram is a form of writing in symbols that uses drawings to tell a story. Kids and children will enjoy creating stories by writing in symbols. All the kids need are some basic pictures to work with and some creative ideas and activities.


Ji Chang Wook made his first-ever visit to Malaysia on 8 April 2017 in advance of his movie "Fabricated City" 20 April premiere and to assist with the launch of tvN Movies into Malaysia. As expected, crowds were all over the place to witness his every move at the airport, press conference and red carpet appearance!
Wook sat down for a brief interview with GSC's resident emcee at the Westin Kuala Lumpur, where they discussed more about himself, his impressions on his first starring movie role in "Fabricated City," and his first impressions of Malaysia (since it was his first-ever visit). He was also presented with a box of special GSC popcorn, as the cinema chain is celebrating its 30th anniversary of opening in Malaysia. Looks like the poor boy hadn't eaten much that day, as he pretty much inhaled the contents whilst being interviewed.
Then it was time to relinquish the now-empty popcorn box and head over to the tvN Movies press conference further down the hall at the Westin!
After the end of the press conference, fans that were chosen from the tvN Movies and HyppTV lucky draws were invited up on stage in groups of 10 in order to have their pictures taken and hi-touch with Ji Chang Wook while leaving the stage.
After that, it was back to his room for some rest prior to the Red Carpet appearance!
After the perfunctory photowall photos, Wook was then ushered into the theatre to give his pre-showing remarks and pose for yet more pictures for the press and his fans.
Resplendent in a light gray thin-pinstriped suit with white t-shirt underneath, Wook greeted the crowd with the fan service he knows best: finger hearts and blown kisses!
The usual questions were asked of him that were already discussed during the roundtable press conference, so they will not be duplicated here. But all in all, a very successful first visit to Malaysia is in the books for Ji Chang Wook, as he is currently jetting off to Hong Kong for his fan meeting at the KITEC today (9 April) at 8:00pm!
More photos of the press conference and "Fabricated City" premiere can be found in the galleries below. Many thanks to GSC Malaysia and tvN Movies for the use of their coverage!
← [Tutorial] Vote for Ji Chang Wook at the 2017 Baeksang Arts Awards!
overall, i love the movie a lot & of coz i love Ji Chang Wook moreeee..can wait for his new drama soon..
So I finally got to watch "Fabricated City" and.. I couldn't! All those scenes in the prison..JCW being beaten up (JCW mentioned several times in interviews that he gets beaten up but I didn't realize the extent of it!). My heart cringed the first time. After that I just closed my eyes during those scenes! I simply couldn't bear to watch JCW being beaten up like that. I know it's a movie..but I just couldn't watch it. But after all those "don't want to watch" scenes..I really enjoyed the movie. The action was more than up to my expectations. I loved it! JCW..like it or not..you are a super action movie star in my books. Absolutely love the movie! Well done JCW!
PS. I truly hope JCW didn't get hurt – accidentally – during the filming of this movie. Many scenes looked really painful!
Wow thank you for this update JCWKitchen! He is sooooo handsome sans being tired. I love his being candid and honest down to earth replies to all the queries.
Congratulations Wookie for a very successful PC in Malaysia.
Fighting for your FM in HK.
Wow this man never gets tired even a bit!
Hi, so far, we have not heard of any news about the movie's release in the Philippines and we do not know if there are any plans to do so. Just keep fingers crossed for now!
the price for being famous is sacrificing your privacy and always in the microscope lenses of fans and anti-fans alike. i hope that he still finds at least a little peace and quiet whenever he needs it. all the best JCW!
I totally understand inhaling the popcorn because didn't JCW's Kitchen mention he's been dieing recently?
And if somebody would please explain took me what "scrum" means and what exactly happened -"briefly discussing the scrum that occurred upon his arrival at Kuala Lumpur International Airport late Friday".
oh my! Scratch "dieing" and replaced with "dieting".
"Scrum" = a usually tightly packed or disorderly crowd. There was quite a 'scrum' when Wook arrived at KLIA, and I think he and his handlers were not quite prepared for the size of the excited crowd that assembled. Fortunately, all reports state no one was injured.
thank you for the definition of scrum crowd. i wondered about it too. never heard of that description!
Thanks. I even Googled it and didn't get that definition, not even in slang dictionaries. Maybe it's a cultural term.
i was there at the airport too..at first i thought Ji Chang Wook fans just a few of us included me & my friend..so i think that crowded was Jessica fans bcs i heard Jessica will be arrived at the same time as JCW..so i think MAYBE they were waiting for Jessica but i'm wrong..many fans waiting for JCW too & yes there are no one was injured..seriously, that was my first time waiting at the airport and that just for JCW..
Yay for a successful event and visit!

Disputes focused on competition law are an increasing feature of the commercial world. We have long experience of competition disputes, whether in making or defending claims for damages, dealing with competition law defences to intellectual property infringement claims or handling appeals from regulatory decisions.
With both competition law and litigation expertise in the same core team, we are ideally placed to act on competition disputes before both courts and arbitral panels.
Our competition litigation team is truly unusual, being made up of lawyers who have both an in-depth knowledge of competition law across the board and extensive experience of litigation, as well as other types of dispute resolution. That combination sets us apart. It enables us to take a truly integrated approach to cases – strategic and substantive considerations are considered together from the outset.
Our competition team cut its litigation teeth through a succession of ground-breaking cases over the past 25 years where competition law issues have arisen in the context of technology or the enforcement of IP rights.
For more information on the specialist disputes that we continue to handle, see SEP/FRAND disputes.
With the rise in private enforcement of competition law including in arbitration, the team's long-established expertise means that it is ideally placed to assist clients in such disputes.
Competition damages claims don't always fit squarely within the confines of a regulatory decision, and we have found ourselves acting on an increasing number of complex 'hybrid' claims, often in parallel to appeals from regulatory decisions. Rather than kick a case into the long grass whilst a final regulatory decision is pending, we'll look for ways to disentangle the various parts and ensure that proceedings are still able to progress. In doing so, we act both for those looking to recover damages and for those defending such claims.
The UK courts are increasingly tackling competition damages claims in manageable 'chunks', meaning a number of interim applications will inevitably pave the route to trial. These include jurisdictional disputes, determinations of relevant law, limitation arguments, and the strike-out of key parts of pleadings. We advise on all aspects, from pre-action issues through to settlement or a final hearing – as well as appeals and references to the CJEU, where available. We work with you to navigate the range of strategic options and find the strongest possible position – either as a route to settlement, or to take a case to trial.
Competition disputes are rarely limited to one jurisdiction. We are used to clients taking a multi-jurisdictional approach, and we work collaboratively with the best independent advisors from around the globe. With extensive experience in the life sciences and technology sectors in particular, we know and work with the right economists, accountants and industry experts to assist in clients litigating competition claims in these areas and beyond.
Increasingly, competition claims are also being resolved through arbitration. In sectors such as life sciences and technology, the confidentiality of arbitration as a route to resolving disputes is a major attraction - and that also applies to disputes about anti-competitive conduct or provisions in licences or other commercial agreements. We have considerable experience of alternative dispute resolution, with particular experience of arbitration of competition issues within life sciences disputes.

Views on matters
shaping Competition Law and Intellectual Property
Bloomberg Law quotes Sophie Lawrance, Bristows partner and competition law expert
Car charging market: Stephen Smith quoted in Global Competition Review
Sophie Lawrance, EU and UK competition law specialist, quoted in Global Competition Review
"Bristows has experts for all legal aspects of a case and these experts work extremely well together so that you get the best possible outcome as a client."
Chambers and Partners 2022
"Their strengths include responsiveness and the fact they quickly picked up how our business works. I like the fact that they don't just advise on an individual matter but think things through end-to-end."
"A leading specialism is in crossover intellectual property and competition cases. They have great strength and depth in that regard."
"Bristows is probably the best TMT/IP firm in the UK – especially in the IT and telecoms area – having been involved throughout the entire development of FRAND-based litigation in the UK over the last 15 years."
Legal 500 2022
"The close integration with the patent litigation and the general litigation team give the team a competitive advantage when it comes to litigate competition cases (especially if in innovative, IP intensive markets)."

GARDAÍ SEIZED MORE than €1.1 million worth of drugs in two seizures in Dublin yesterday.
Four people are currently in custody.
Speaking to TheJournal.ie, Chief Superintendent Michael O'Sullivan said the operations targeted two separate criminal gangs.
He said taking the drugs off the streets will deal a significant blow to both groupings.
The first took place on the N2 in the Finglas area, where two cars were intercepted by gardaí and searched.
A total of €300,000 worth of cannabis was seized and two men, aged 40 and 49, were arrested at the scene.
They are being held at Finglas Garda Station.
Later that day in an unconnected operation, the Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau raided a property in the Irishtown area of Dublin 2 at around 4pm.
The search yielded €880,000 worth of heroin, cocaine, cannabis and a quantity of cash.
A man and a woman, both 29, were arrested.
Chief Superintendent O'Sullivan said gardaí are pursuing a "very proactive strategy" against organised criminal gangs, "chipping away" at the networks.
There certainly will be more seizures and more arrests.
He also praised the local communities who came forward with information that led to the seizures.
O'Sullivan said that lives have been saved this week by these two seizures along with the the discovery of guns along with heroin and cocaine in Tallaght.

Bradford's new water plant in use
By Sam Wildow - swildow@aimmediamidwest.com
BRADFORD — Village Administrator Rick Looker announced during Thursday night's Bradford Council meeting that the village's new Water Treatment Plant is now in operation.
"I'm pleased to report that the water plant has been placed online, and we are producing water through the new Water Treatment Plant," Looker said.
The village received their final approval from building inspectors Thursday, Looker said.
"There's a multitude of things that still need to be completed out there within the plant itself, but everything is functional and we're operational," Looker said.
He added that the plant is still "fine-tuning" a number of items, such as the water hardness.
"It's about twice as hard as it normally is," Looker said.
It was a five-year process to reach this milestone, including approximately eight months of construction. The new plant was created to replace the aging of the old plant and its outdated equipment. The old plant was built between the 1950s and 1960s.
Over at the village's Wastewater Treatment Plant, Looker said that the village recently had a meeting with representatives of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. The plant is not removing enough phosphorus from sewer water.
Looker also went over the village's process for snow events. "There's no pre-treatment," he said, explaining that they do not put down brine.
The village does not begin putting salt down until after the snow or winter weather event has started affecting the roads.
"If it gets slick, we're going to salt," Looker said.
Council member Bob Daughtery asked how much salt the village has. Looker said approximately 35 tons.
The council also went into an executive session during their meeting to discuss personnel and personnel wages.
After the executive session, the council agreed upon a 2 percent raise for full- and part-time village employees for two years. The effective date was set as Jan. 1. The council is expected to vote on a formal resolution on this raise during their next meeting on Jan. 25.
Earlier in their meeting, the council appointed Sandra Miller back to the council. There is still an open seat on council, recently vacated by outgoing council member Tom Moore. For anyone interested in joining the council, the village can be contacted at (937) 448-2718.

New Year's Eve and the extended Orthodox Christmas festivities not only bring holiday cheer to Russians but also a spike in traffic deaths and homicides.
National traffic police told Interfax on Thursday that 227 people, including 10 children, died in 1,700 traffic accidents between Jan. 1 and Jan. 8.
Drunk driving was blamed on 100 of the accidents which killed 12 people, traffic police added.
Overall, however, traffic police told the news agency that there were fewer car accidents in most Russian regions compared to the same period in 2018.
Murders also surge during the week-long holiday period.
An average of 250 Russians are murdered on New Year's Eve alone each year, according to Vladimir Kudryavtsev, a criminology expert at the European University in St. Petersburg.
In a column published Wednesday by the Vedomosti daily, Kudryavstev wrote that around 75 to 90 people are killed during other holidays, which in itself is almost double the average daily murder rate of 44.

Coins to Get New Look For 1976 Celebration
March 6, 1973, Page 50Buy Reprints The New York Times Archives
WASHINGTON, March 5 (AP) — The United States Mint proposes to put revolutionary designs on the dollar and half‐dollar coins to honor the 200th anniversary of independence in 1976, the mint director, Mary Brooks, announced today.
The new, designs would replace the Apollo moon landing design on the dollar and the Presidential seal on the half dollar.
A contest to design revolutionary designs for the coins will be conducted by the National. Sculpture Society among its membership, and the choice will be made by the Secretary of the Treasury.

Building and designing large infrastructures is very tedious and difficult task as one has to go down into the smallest of nitty-gritties when designing - and if this is not done, this is what happens.
Its was only three weeks since the opening of the world's widest bridge in the British Columbia when it had to be closed down after a heavy snow fall.
While the snow fall did not do any harm, but the snow that accumulated on the bridge suspension cables when fall down, it came like ice bombs breaking car windows and damaging cars.
The ten-lanes bridge, which is also the second largest bridge in the North America is now closed and designers are trying to figure out how to redesign the suspension cables so as to avoid happening of the disaster again.
More than 100 insurance claims were filed by commuters after chunks of ice smashed down onto vehicles from the bridge's suspension cables during a Wednesday snowstorm.

Catching up with 5 | Special Guest Justin Robinson
By Billy Ray Mitchell | August 26
The golden age of Virginia Tech basketball *so far* was the 4-year run from 2016-2019. That run does not happen without Justin Robinson, AKA '5'. He came in as a 4-star point guard and left the Hokies as the all-time leader in assists, and one of the best careers in Virginia Tech Athletics history. He is one of the best ambassadors of Virginia Tech athletics today and continues to embody Ut Prosim across each aspect of his life. Billy Ray sat down to discuss a wide array of topics both on the court and off the court.
Geoff Burke-USA TODAY Sport
We spent the first half of the podcast career from the very beginning. High school recruitment from Buzz, those first few years learning alongside Seth Allen, all the way up until he was handed the keys and taking on some of the best point-guards in the nation night in and night out. What exactly was it like to play for Buzz Williams? What were the biggest lessons and experiences molded the team into what we saw in that magical 2018-19 season? That historic night at home against Syracuse. What was the process of coming back from that foot injury your senior year and how did that effect you mentally? Emotions of that final tip off and ovation from the Cassell Guard. We cover it all and a whole lot more.
We also covered Justin's life post Virginia Tech. After one year of professional hoops under his belt, what has he learned and what is he looking forward to? 2020 has been a rough year for a lot of folks and Justin has made it his focus to both hone in on his craft and uplift those around him. A large portion of this is constructed through his personal brand Production > Hype. Most notably, Justin teamed up with the American Heart association to raise funds in honor of his late father through the sales of his "Hearts Matter" Shirts.
In honor of my dad, I decided to release a VR "Hearts Matter" @prodoverhype shirt with all proceeds being donated to @American_Heart. Love you and miss you dad❤ pic.twitter.com/lDhfK9Irg3

BERLIN, 0ct (Reuters) - A group of four German high school students took first prize in the final of the Ugly Dance World Cup held in Hamburg this weekend.
The winners from the northwestern German town of Vechta competed against nine other teams from Germany, Luxembourg and Switzerland.
"They convinced with epic ugliness, horrible appearance and their signature move - the Shy Dance," according to the competition's official website.
But the competition's organizers said that ugly dance was not necessarily bad.
"It's so easy to dance nicely, but ugly dancing is an art. We like to call it "ugly aesthetics," they said.
The competition was set up in 2009 to create a platform for alternative dancing styles. The criteria for selection include "outstanding ugliness, creativity, singularity/unseen moves and fun factor," according to the official website.
