Official: Obama seeks bigger banking restrictions
PUBLISHED: January 21, 2010 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 29, 2017 at 12:15 p.m.
WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama, eager to harness and redirect voter anger over bank bailouts, is ramping up his war on Wall Street Thursday by pushing tougher regulation of big banks.
Building on his own proposals and the work of the House, the president wants new federal government powers to limit the size and complexity of large financial institutions and to limit their ability to engage in high-risk trades, an administration official said late Wednesday.
Obama will make the announcement Thursday in a bipartisan display aimed at capitalizing on the one issue in his agenda still standing after a devastating Democratic electoral loss in Massachusetts.
The president will be flanked by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker and William Donaldson, appointed by President George W. Bush as head of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Both men have advocated tighter banking restrictions. Volcker heads the President's Economic Recovery Advisory Board.
Obama's announcement comes as the White House renews his demand that any overhaul of banking regulations contain an independent consumer financial protection agency. The proposed agency is one of the major sticking points in the Senate and the central focus of negotiations between Democrats and Republicans on the Senate Banking Committee.
"The president is not going to compromise because lobbyists tell somebody that we shouldn't have an agency that protects consumers," White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said. "That's something the president's not willing to give up."
The tougher measures to be announced Thursday aim to limit speculation by commercial banks and to keep financial institutions from becoming so big that they pose a risk to the overall economic system.
In focusing attention on Wall Street, however, the administration is also seeking to halt a wave of public anxiety that is benefiting Republicans and undermining Obama's agenda. Obama has assumed a populist tone lately, calling big bank CEOs "fat cats" and, last week, proposing a fee on large banks to cover shortfalls in Treasury's $700 billion financial rescue fund.
"When you see more and more of the financial sector basically churning transactions and engaging in reckless speculation and obscuring underlying risks in a way that makes a few people obscene amounts of money but doesn't add value to the economy – and in fact puts the entire economy at enormous risk – then something's got to change," Obama said in an interview with Time Magazine published Thursday.
Obama last year proposed a series of measures to tighten the reins on financial institutions in hopes of preventing a recurrence of the crisis that struck both Wall Street and Washington in the fall of 2008. The House passed a bill last month.
But Obama's announcement Thursday will broaden those measures, particularly by endorsing Volcker's proposal to restrict proprietary trading by commercial banks. Such a limit would separate commercial banks from investment banks, a line that was blurred a decade ago by the repeal of the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act. That restriction would affect some of the nation's biggest banks, including banking giants Bank of America Corp., Goldman Sachs and Citigroup Inc.
"The better answer is to modernize the regulatory framework and not take the industry and the economy back to the 1930s," said Scott Talbott, chief lobbyist for the Financial Services Roundtable, an industry group that represents large Wall Street institutions.
Volcker has been pushing for a return to the two-tiered banking system of Glass-Steagall for nearly a year. Volcker's views, however, were not included in Obama's initial regulatory overhaul proposal last year.
The senior administration official, speaking on the condition of anonymity because the plan had not yet been made public, said Obama has been planning for months to toughen proposed legislation to reduce risk-taking and limit the size and scope of financial institutions.
"The White House will work closely with the House and Senate to work this into legislation moving on the hill," the official said.
News of the announcement came shortly after Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner had a private dinner Wednesday night with chief executives from some of the top Wall Street banks.
There was a new urgency in the Senate to move on the legislation – an attempt to respond to voter anger at Wall Street and bank bailouts that helped propel Republican Scott Brown to victory in a contest for the seat formerly held by the late Democratic Sen. Edward M. Kennedy.
Brown's victory gave Republicans 41 votes in the Senate, enough to mount successful filibusters and prevent Democratic legislation on health care or climate change from getting final votes.
But financial regulations could survive.
"I don't want to see us have to go through what we've been through here where we've been relying on one party to get something," Senate Banking Committee Chairman Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., said Wednesday.
Moreover, Geithner met with Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky on Tuesday. Administration officials now believe that while Republicans may seek to block other aspects of the president's agenda, McConnell is considering making financial regulations an exception.
To that end, Dodd has been negotiating with the Banking Committee's top Republican, Sen. Richard Shelby of Alabama.
"We're talking, and obviously my hope is that in the next few weeks we'll have a markup and move forward," Dodd added, referring to official committee action on the bill.

Virus Mandates Politicize Weaponized Control Over Thanksgiving
(Jj Gouin/Dreamstime)
By Larry Bell Wednesday, 25 November 2020 09:24 AM Current | Bio | Archive
Who would have possibly imagined last Thanksgiving that social distancing – even from loved ones and close friends – would be necessary; that we would come to believe that everyone is so "unclean" that shaking their hands – much less hugging them – might become fatal; and that inviting Uncle Fred to the gathering might get you fined or arrested in some states for exceeding your government-authorized indoor attendance limit?
Sure, there was also no way to anticipate the unexpected health, social and economic impacts of this COVID-19 tragedy, nor the urgency of responses that have legitimately warranted community cooperation, cohesion and compromises.
Nevertheless, dear readers, let's check our footings on a slippery slope of very dangerous concession consequences we didn't bargain for.
Those 'Temporary' Contact Tracing Privacy Invasions:
We're also supposed to imagine, once again, that waiving our right to privacy from surveillance and surrendering details of our locations, movements and personal contacts will only be temporary. When Joe Biden "crushes the virus" all those contact tracing policies and tools we establish now for "temporarily" interrupting our civil liberties will be dismantled.
Perhaps we can even furlough a huge army of "contact tracers" that are being created especially for this recent occasion, or at least until we need them again just in case to prevent another different pandemic.
At least that hasn't happened since the time supposedly temporary surveillance enacted to safeguard our nation by the Patriot Act nearly 20 years ago in the wake of 9/11 became weaponized earlier through lack of oversight against assaults on our civil liberties.
Now if this doesn't worry you, let's add contact tracing cellphone app technology to the murky, messy, privacy and control-surrendering mix.
Any notion that all this human and electronic invasion of our privacy will be rolled back after the pandemic passes is fantasy. Once surrendered, freedom is lost forever.
Tyranny Under Diktat of Authoritarian 'Experts':
Lacking clear understanding of the new virus or good population infection and mortality data, early model-based casualty projections were understandably overestimated. Accordingly, communities and households have voluntarily complied with economically and socially disruptive lockdowns that now call into question when the cure becomes worse than the disease.
Joe Biden has vowed to institute a national government mandated lockdown if he is so advised by "the scientists." The big question remains: who picks those scientists?
Bioethicist Ezekiel Emanuel – who has been advising Biden during his campaign and was just named to his new COVID advisery task force – called for an 18-month shutdown when the disease first emerged.
More recently, Emanuel was the lead author of an open letter urging the imposition of a second and even more draconian shutdown, writing: "Non-essential businesses should be closed. Restaurant service should be limited to take-out. People should stay home, going out only to get food and medicine or exercise and get fresh air."
On the other hand, more than 5,000 medical practitioners and health scientists have signed a petition calling for a balanced "focused protection" approach which would allow "those who are at a minimum risk of death to live their lives normally to build up immunity to the virus through natural infection, while better protecting those who are at highest risk."
Their "Great Barrington Declaration" cites serious forms of collateral medical damage from government lockdowns which include lower childhood vaccinations rates, worsening cardiovascular disease outcomes, fewer cancer screenings and deteriorating mental health conditions leading to greater excess mortality in years to come, with the working class and younger members of society carrying the heaviest burden.
Control Over Personal Medical and Life Quality Decisions:
Most encouragingly, Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca have recently announced successful testing of COVID vaccines that portend a new national controversy regarding mandatory treatment of every child in the country as Dr. Emanuel has urged.
On the flip side, writing in The Atlantic, Emanuel also raises questions regarding whether new preventive and responsive medical treatments should perhaps be rationed primarily for those under age 75 or some arbitrary birthday when those of us (like me) have pretty much ended an allotted time of usefulness.
Emanuel explained, "Even if we aren't demented, our mental functioning deteriorates as we grow older. Age-associated declines in mental-processing speed, working and long-term memory, and problem-solving are well established."
Pointing out that numerous drug trials that have failed to stall, reverse or prevent Alzheimer's are causing researchers (presumably experts) to rethink "the whole disease paradigm." Biden's key adviser Emanuel concludes, "Once I have lived to 75, my approach to health care will completely change. I won't actively end my life, but I won't try to prolong it either."
Conformity to Masked Mandate Agendas:
Quite apart from beneficial uncertainties of conflicted research, coronavirus masks have become potent icons of the community's quest for safety, a visible expression of social cohesiveness, a virtue-signaling demonstration of our bone fide membership in civil society.
Moreover, if you doubt this, try going into a grocery store without one.
OK … please don't get me wrong… even if there is a chance that wearing a mask might offer protection to one's self or others at the cost of inconvenience and muffled conversations, why not honor that convention?
Despite conclusions of a June report in the scientifically prestigious medical journal Lancet that there was a "low certainty" that cloth and surgical masks "might result in a large reduction in virus infection," I'm still good with taking that long-shot precaution.
Nevertheless, let's also recognize endless examples where respected professional journals suppress research that questions or refutes the prevailing establishment canon – making it seem as if all "experts" agree on officially approved policy.
Recall the infamously murky ClimateGate scandal.
Indeed, that ideological politicization may already be happening with a so-called "controversial" large Danish mask study currently unable to find a journal that will publish the findings.
The coming COVID collective will not just fight disease. It will also accrue increased power to the government and private sector allies.
True to form, fully expect that when a President Joe Biden decides on a COVID policy, the entire media establishment will mobilize to suppress dissenting views by castigating skeptics of reigning orthodoxies as "anti-science" or conspiracy theorists.
We can also safely predict that social media will censor heterodox views about masks, vaccines, and other COVID policies that run counter to prevailing agendas.
The only big unknown is whether Americans will question such inflated institutional authority in a time of this and future real and manufactured crises, or meekly obey them.
That's up to you and your special regard for Uncle Fred.

This is the third time we have hired Extreme Customs to do work on our home. This time we needed sheetrock replaced, as well as some trim work. We are very happy with the job he did. Joe is always professional and very knowledgeable. I am sure we will call on Joe again in the future!
Who isn't grateful when a craftsman helps transform their home into a beautiful and comfortable retreat? That's what Extreme Customs Remodeling has done for our log home in the Adirondacks. Joe transformed our tired and aging wraparound deck and front porch into spaces we can be proud to entertain on. In addition to the new deck and rail systems, Joe also completed an unfinished room on the lower level of the house. Extreme Customs did the sheet rock, custom wood trim, built a chase for pipes and installed an access panel for a water shutoff. Then they painted the walls and ceilings and installed an awesome laminate floor all for a very reasonable cost. The room looks amazing! And last but not least, a new outlet in a closet which will be used for a hideaway computer. From start to finish, Joe and his crew worked tirelessly to complete our job.
Joe did a large project as well as other smaller jobs for me. He has been a true professional at all times. He is courteous, knowledgeable about the correct way projects are to be done, a perfectionist in all things and he does a good job of cleaning up after he is done. I highly recommend him to any potential customers.
Joe is a true master of his craft. He and his crew built a beautiful loft and railing for me using rustic cedar that was harvested locally. His attention to detail is top notch.
Alexander Tree Service, Cabot, Vt.
Extreme Customs helped my wife and I renovate a 1969 fixer-upper. The house was quite the undertaking and Joe was able to tackle the planned projects — as well as the unexpected projects. Joe worked to install our IKEA cabinets system with custom Walnut fronts, as well as our Bosch appliances and hood vent. Maple floors needed to be added with our redesign to look as if it were installed to match the existing floors both in the kitchen and family room (where a built-in bench system was removed). Joe took an unfinished and barely functional laundry room in the basement and turned it into a heated/functional laundry room. Floor leveling with concrete, adding a sheet rocked hallway, moving plumbing and mechanicals around, tiling and pocket doors were a few of the highlights here. One of the most impressive projects involved the covering vaulted popcorn foyer ceiling, which was 30 feet in the air. Instead of scrapping the popcorn and exposing the house to the chemicals it contained, Ipe flooring (Brazilian Walnut) and plywood layer were installed. The ceiling now looks amazing and is a highlight of the house and enhances the architectural look we were looking for. A lot was accomplished in the three-month timeline and the process involved utilizing many of Joe's skill sets, including his communicating with us. If you would like to discuss Joe's skills further, please do not hesitate to call me 518.300.0317.
Amazing workmanship — dependable and creative. Would recommend his work to anyone.
If you are dreaming of a home remodel, Extreme Customs is THE company that can make your dreams a reality. Joe has the knowledge, skill and work ethic to complete any project put in front of him. He will go above and beyond to make sure his customers are satisfied!
Director, Cambridge Town Library, Cambridge, N.Y.
We hired Joe to build an addition onto our colonial home for an extra family room. He designed the entire project, giving us lots of windows for light and a unique slanted shed roof that looks great! Inside is even nicer, with the walls covered in knotty pine and there is beautiful hand-crafted millwork surrounding each window and the French doors. We love it! His finish work is beautiful and just perfection! You can see yourself in the finish on the hardwood floors. We highly recommend him; his work is outstanding!

Boxing promoter and Hall of Fame fighter Oscar De La Hoya sat down for lunch Friday in Carson to discuss, among other topics, the early June resignation of longtime Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer, De La Hoya's battle with drugs and alcohol, and his recent induction into the International Boxing Hall of Fame.
Schaefer was with De La Hoya's Golden Boy Promotions since its inception in 2002. He was the backbone of a company that grew to be a giant in the industry. Schaefer — a former Swiss banker — pretty much ran the company, brokering all its fighter contracts as well as fight deals.
But De La Hoya and Schaefer apparently have been having problems for some time, though De La Hoya spoke in somewhat guarded tones in this regard because of professional advice from his lawyers.
De La Hoya believes the last straw was when he began telling anyone who would listen he wanted to end boxing's perceived "cold war" with fellow promoter Bob Arum. Their companies are boxing's two most powerful and have been at odds for years, meaning fights that could have been made weren't.
However, Schaefer made no bones about never wanting to work with Arum again, as the two have had quite a verbal back-and-forth over the years.
It should be noted De La Hoya is the major shareholder of Golden Boy. But Schaefer retains stock, as do others. De La Hoya recently completed his second stint in a drug & alcohol rehabilitation center.
As an aside, Golden Boy chief operating officer Bruce Binkow also left, something De La Hoya shrugged off during our conversation. Nicole Becerra, De La Hoya's longtime personal assistant as well as Schaefer's, also left. That bothered De La Hoya, but he otherwise did not touch much on these two additional departures.
QUESTION: Word has it that you were surprised that Richard Schaefer left. But amid all the rumors, you could not have been completely surprised, could you?
Q: Have you started looking for a replacement, and do you plan on bringing someone in to do what Schaefer was doing?
Q: So you don't feel the necessity to bring in someone to fill Schaefer's shoes?
Q: Have you finally gotten it into your head that you can't drink ever again?
Q: Was it a combination of cocaine and alcohol?
Q: It seems you are taking a more hands-on approach with Golden Boy than you have in the past. Is that correct?
Q: Among other things, there have been rumors that Schaefer might have been trying to orchestrate a power move to take over Golden Boy. Is that true?
Q: Was Schaefer still under contract when he left? Can he go to work for another (boxing) company?
Q: How long have you been sober? Two months, three months?
Q: You're not counting the days?
Q: Now that you and Bob Arum have mended fences, are you now hopeful you two can co-promote some big cards together?
Q: Are you and Richard Schaefer still friends?
Q: What did it mean to be inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame recently?
Q: What was your most satisfying victory?
Q: Mayweather's next fight date is Sept. 13 at MGM Grand. If that's true, was that reserved under the Golden Boy banner? (Golden Boy has helped Mayweather promote his past nine fights).
Q: Furthermore, you have said Mayweather Promotions CEO Leonard Ellerbe has retracted his statement and said he can still work with Golden Boy after first saying the opposite upon Schaefer's departure So if Mayweather wants that Sept. 13 date at MGM Grand, is it going to have to be fought with Golden Boy Promotions as part of it?
Q: Could you ever do business with Schaefer again if he starts his own company or joins another?
Q: What was the starting point of your beef with Schaefer?

Gasser Revolver
(thing) by apple550 Wed Mar 16 2005 at 14:14:42
This great Austrian firm of Gasser was founded in 1862 by Leopold Gasser, who patented this revolver in 1870. He died in 1871 and was succeeded by his son, Johann, who continued to manufacture large numbers of revolvers almost until the end of the 19th Century.
Gasser revolvers were used by the Austro-Hungarian Army and were sold extensively as civilian arms in Austria-Hungary and throughout the Balkans.
In common with all original Gasser revolvers, they were opened-framed with no top strap. Their basic construction was fairly similar to that of the early Colt, except that there is a threaded hole below the barrel, which screws on the front end of the axis pin instead of on the wedge. It has a bottom-hinged loading gate and a sliding ejector rod on the right-hand side; the front end of the rod is cut into an arc of a similar diameter to the barrel and fits firmly against it. The lock is of double-action type and is fitted with a safety device in the form of the flat bar above the trigger-guard. Internal pins attached to the bar's rear end held the hammer at half-cock and could only be released by the pressure on the trigger.
It is a massive weapon, chambered to fire the cartridge originally developed for the Werndl Carbine, and was really only suitable for use by mounted men. Even so, it would be hard to use without a detachable butt, which was not fitted.

[Los Angeles, CA-Tuesday, December 11, 2012, Los Angeles, CA] Jonathan Wilson recently announced his first annual Merry Minstrel Musical Circus, A Holiday Gathering and Goodwill Jamathon benefit concert. Jonathan has teamed up with Mike Campbell to create a special evening of music amongst friends at the famed Troubadour in Los Angeles on Thursday, December 20 and is now pleased to announce that Bob Weir, Jackson Browne and Benmont Tench will join this very special event. All proceeds from the benefit concert will go to Little Kids Rock and the Tazzy Animal Rescue Fund.
Conceived as an event to allow for unique collaboration and interplay amongst friends, Jonathan and Mike have invited a very special group of musical guests to participate. The original idea for the event's format arose from the weekly jam sessions that Wilson used to host at his former studio in Laurel Canyon.
Jonathan met Mike this summer while he and his band were supporting Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers on their European tour. The two began discussing playing together earlier this fall and when Wilson proposed the idea of Mike being involved with a holiday jam benefit concert, the two began exploring the concept and inviting friends to be involved.

The financially-motivated FIN7 hacking group recently switched to a new delivery technique and has been employing a different malware obfuscation method, ICEBRG security researchers reveal.
Highly active since the beginning of 2017, FIN7 (also known as Anunak, or Carbanak) started distributing malware via LNK files embedded in Word documents using the Object Linking and Embedding (OLE) technology. The attack employed a fileless infection method, with no files being written to disk.
The hackers have since switched to using CMD files instead of LNK ones, most probably in an attempt to evade detection. The CMD, the researchers explain, would write JScript to "tt.txt" under the current user's home directory.
Next, the batch script copies itself to "pp.txt" under the same directory, and then runs WScript using the JScript engine on the file. According to ICEBRG, the JScript code then reads from the "pp.txt" file, evaluating anything after the first character for each line in the file. However, it skips the first four lines, which represent the CMD code itself.
The same as with the LNK files, however, the use of OLE embedded CMD files results in code execution on the victim's machine. The use of commented out code isn't new either, and has been previously associated with FIN7.
The security researchers also observed a series of changes to the obfuscation strategy the hackers are using for their unique backdoor, HALFBAKED, which has been continuously morphing over the past year.
Until now, different stages of the HALFBAKED codebase used base64 encoding, stored in a string array variable called "srcTxt," the researchers explain. Now, the name is obfuscated and the base64 string is broken down into multiple strings within an array.
Furthermore, the backdoor now includes a built-in command called "getNK2"which is meant to retrieve the victim's Microsoft Outlook email client auto-complete list. The command was likely named after the NK2 file that contains a list of auto-complete addresses for Microsoft Outlook 2007 and 2010.
"This may suggest the actor's desire to obtain new phishing targets within a victim organization. If any of these new targets fell victim to the phishing lure, it would allow FIN7 to increase their foothold within a victim organization's network and potentially pivot to new areas," the researchers note.
Although newer versions of Outlook no longer use the NK2 file, the backdoor targets them as well, because the hackers also wrote functionality to handle them within the same "getNK2" command.
"Detection authors must make trade-offs to optimize signature performance; narrow signatures lead to high fidelity detections, but risk missing changes in actor behaviors, meanwhile broader detection patterns provide better coverage, at the risk of more false positives. Combatting a well-resourced and adaptive adversary requires a layered approach of both signature styles," ICEBRG concludes.

Prior to installing the wings a couple of days ago the final routing of the Tygon tubing used for the AOA indicator was finalized. The Tygon tubing and Luer Lock quick disconnect connectors were purchased through McMaster Carr were covered in the following post many moons ago.
The Tygon tubing for the AOA was routed behind the left electrical connector and coiled long ago … the tubing makes its way to the ADAHRS mounted in the tail cone. A hole large enough for a tiny grommet was drilled in the F-00032 side cover for the blue electrical connector just aft of the connector as can be seen in the following photo. The grommet was snapped into the hole and the Tygon tubing was routed through the hole and a Luer Lock quick disconnect was attached to the Tygon Tubing. The DOG Aviation procurement department also purchased protective caps for the Luer Lock quick disconnects so when the wings are off the fuselage, the connectors and Tygon tubing can be protected from dirt or insects.
This photo shows the protective cap placed on the Luer Lock quick disconnect to protect debris from entering Luer Lock fitting when not mated to the Tygon tubing coming from the left wing.
One of the reasons the wings came off again is because there were a few tight spots between the flaperon and fuselage … plus, the spar pins were VERY tight. After careful analysis, it appears the F-1204R retainer blocks could use a little trimming which will be covered in a future post.


Cheetahs and Springbok forward Heinrich Brussow is to have his name added to a lexicon of terms and as means of describing the act of dispossessing the opposing team of the ball contrary to the run of play.
Otherwise to be known as the Heinrich Manoeuvre.
The decision has been made due to the freakishly large amount of times Brussow is responsible for turnover ball at the ruck and his God-like ability to appear in many places at once.
All hail Heinrich…for he is a plentiful and generous giver of turnover ball.

Semana Santa, Podemos, and an unfortunate gaffe
Earlier this week a news story took Social Media in Seville by storm. But it wasn't about anything that had actually happened. Instead, it was the perfect example of Social Media picking up on a frighteningly misjudged, quote-worthy comment which was destined to become a bete noir for the speaker. This asunto encompassed politics, tradition, religion, and local pride and passion - a combustible combination.
Begoña Gutierrez, the Provincial Secretary of Podemos Seville, was speaking to El Mundo newspaper in an interview published on Monday. In describing how Podemos' remit was to devolve more decision-making power to the people, the hapless civil servant-turned-politician suggested that, "If it came to a vote (on whether Semana Santa should be banned), the people would decide." Semana Santa banned? Gasp! Horror! Outrage!
"Pregunta: Dígame por último si es verdad eso de que si Podemos gobierna prohibirá la Semana Santa.
Respuesta: En Podemos todo lo decidimos los ciudadanos y los ciudadanas. Si se llegara a plantear esa cuestión, serían ellos quienes lo decidirían."
(Question El Mundo): Lastly, tell me if it's true that if Podemos was elected, you would ban Semana Santa.
(Answer Begoña Gutierrez, Podemos Sevilla): In Podemos, all the citizens make the decisions. If it came to a vote, it would be they who would decide.
The knives have been out for Podemos for some time with mainstream media and the other political parties, notably the two main players - the PSOE and PP - desperate to sling mud at this new party which was formed just a year ago and which came from nowhere to win five seats at the European elections in May last year.
With some unconventional views, Podemos is a far-left party which promises participative democracy, financial transparency, a monthly minimum salary for all, and debt restructuring. Some unfortunate comments about ETA and terrorism have not helped its cause. It's a grass-roots anti-establishment party which isn't about millionaire backers and high-profile campaigns - its European election campaign last year was crowd-funded. Corruption is one of the biggest concerns of the Spanish electorate, and Podemos is all about confronting the culture of back-handers head on.
Any opportunity to make the new party look bad is grabbed with both hands by the two principal parties, as well as many media channels. Unsurprisingly, considering that the political establishment is running scared - Podemos' leader, an economics professor from Madrid called Pablo Iglesias who famously sports a ponytail, is favoured by 44% of the electorate as Spain's next prime minister compared to the other parties' leaders at 32% (PSOE) and 23% (PP). The latest poll, on 11 January this year, gives Podemos an election-winning 28.2% of the vote.
The unfortunate Begoña handed her party's multiple detractors a loaded gun and said "Go on, shoot me." Perhaps the 39-year-old mother of two, who is herself from Seville, is inexperienced in dealing with the media. Otherwise she would have known not to even suggest, albeit as an example of citizens' democratic participation, that Seville's most famous event be banned.
Podemos is all about a return to genuine democracy in which decisions aren't made by out-of-touch suits who have become rich through questionable business and financial dealings and loyalties, also known as conventional politicians, but by The People. So even if she was simply trying to illustrate a very important point, she chose the wrong way to do it.
Within hours, rumours were circling around the internet saying "Podemos wants to ban Semana Santa in Seville." Sticky. You have to feel sorry for the poor woman. Begoña responded with some clarifying/backpedalling tweets, and El Mundo charted the storm, with some glee. So it seems that banning Seville's most popular religious festival is not in the party's manifesto after all.

Q: Can't stop and uninstall Deep Freeze I am trying to uninstall Deep Freeze 2000 in Windows XP, but I can't!
I can't even open the Deep Freeze window because it stops responding! I can't get into Safe mode with Windows XP when I press F8 while booting. It opens a menu to choose with which device to boot the PC.

A: Pull the hard drive out (or boot from a CD), then navigate to the Deepfreeze program folder, and rename the executable from .exe to .old. Reboot, and it won't start up. Then you should be able to uninstall it

A: The only way to uninstall deep freeze is to first thaw the workstation and then run the original installation package.  Anything else you do will result in your changes being reverted, just like any other changes. If you're having trouble viewing the window on the workstation itself, try thawing from the management console.
If something is broken with your deep freeze installation (I've never seen this), the only thing you could do is re-install the operating system from original media (not located on the frozen volume).

Important shrubs of the Rose Family (Rosaceae) in the Intermountain region are distributed from blackbrush and salt desert shrub communities through high elevation forests and meadows. Growth habits of this group vary from trailing brambles to upright shrubs and small trees. Some species are evergreen while others are deciduous. Many of these species are highly valued for the cover, fruits, and forage they provide for wildlife and livestock. Rosaceous species that develop spreading root systems, root suckers, rhizomes, or stem layers provide soil stabilization. Several species are capable of regenerating following fire. Those that produce fragrant flowers or colorful fall foliage are prized for their ornamental value.

How to get HTS Satellite to reach its full potential?
Over the last few years, with the emergence of High Throughput Satellites (HTS), the satellite market has changed significantly. HTS has proved significant advances in high bandwidth in digital satellite services, but has it reached its full potential?
Due to the emergence of HTS satellites over the last two years, hardware manufacturers of satellite ground equipment were pushed to upgrade their equipment in order to support the higher bandwidth. Unfortunately, they have not gone far enough, given the escalating bandwidth demands, especially nowadays with the digitization change taking place, as a result of COVID – 19 reality.
Upgrading equipment such as, modems, antennas, and broadcasters was crucial to support this change, but the lack of a system that can integrate this equipment on the ground to a smart and automated service remains unsolved.
First, What are HTS satellites?
High Throughput Satellites (HTS) are powerful communication satellites that typically provide 20-times the throughput of a conventional Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) satellite.
As a result of the increased throughput, these satellites offer large broadband-based services, including:
4G and 5G services to cellular service providers
8K-based video services
OTT streaming services, such as VoD(AppleTV and Netflix)
Never-ending streaming demands of social networks, including Facebook, Google, and WhatsApp
The implication is clear. HTS allows these types of services to be delivered anywhere in the world.
The adoption of new ground services
While HTS satellites have the capacity to transmit large amounts of data, the resources on the ground leave something to be desired. Certainly, we've seen significant upgrades, and the equipment used to receive data can handle large bandwidths. Modems connected to HTS satellites can connect at speeds up to 1 gigabit.
This high-speed connectivity has been great for consumers, providing affordable high-bandwidth internet in areas where fiber or other land connection options aren't available.
However, the satellite world continues to lag behind other technologies. Fiber connectivity, for example, offers symmetrical, 2-way connectivity. One Megabit of fiber is actually two Megabits, with 1 Megabit going in each direction.
In Sub Sahara Africa for example, customers using HTS services only use satellite connectivity for downloading; uploading data goes fiber or microwave connectivity (where ever fiber is available of course). The download to upload ratio is typically 1:10, meaning they can upload only one megabit of data for every ten megabits that are downloading.
The result is an asymmetric network, as downloads move through HTS satellites while uploads send data through fiber or Microwave.
Additionally, satellite technology relies on RF communications, which can be unstable during inclement weather on the 8000/36000 kilometers transmissions to MEO and GEO satellites.
It's also why satellite service providers need to develop a smarter service, one which can intelligently route traffic in both directions.
So what is the key for a system that makes sense?
1. Building a Better 2-Directional System
As with other technologies, the service provider's goal is to create a system that can efficiently deliver broadband speeds without wasting resources, all while reducing overhead.
So how can we deal with these issues?
Significant increases in bandwidth
Asymmetric traffic
Dynamic changes in quality of service due to weather or other disruption
The key to creating a system that makes sense is to take a holistic view of the IP involved. However, IP alone isn't enough to create the intelligence and automation required by the system.
The system must include the following elements:
Capability to dynamically manage bandwidth
Automate change based on existing conditions (machine learning)
two-way traffic(download via satellite and upload via Fiber(Mw))
Reduce overhead
Optimized user experience
Most communication devices on the market today can't fully support these requirements. Routers, firewalls, and optimization systems are unable to use automation or provide the smart capabilities required in satellite networks.
2. Utilizing Machine Learning capabilities that will automatically manage the traffic over the network
To deal with these issues, GILAT Telecom has developed SDWAN MAX – a unique solution that allows satellite service providers to control bandwidth, deal with dynamic network changes, by using smart tools that can manage the system automatically.
By utilizing an automation solution, the satellite can communicate with satellite modems, directing it to update bandwidth changes or make other adjustments based on need. Additionally, through smart management tools, SDWAN MAX can provide customers with the level of service that they are paying for.
The system can intelligently manage traffic, so each customer receives the right level of bandwidth. It doesn't require routing overhead, which allows it to deal with the issue of asymmetric routes, and helps the system manage its application traffic.
SDWAN MAX also provides the satellite service providers a unique solution, that reduces the high cost of this expensive equipment.
In conclusion, if you ask me, I believe that the next step in the HTS satellite era is finding an integrated SDWAN solution with automatic network management that will take the HTS satellite forward to reach its full potential and make it the best solution for higher bandwidth with maximum results.

Las hormonas de estrés, como la adrenalina y el cortisol, son producidas en momentos potencialmente peligrosos para el cuerpo. El sistema corporal encargado de controlar todas las hormonas es el sistema endocrino. Las hormonas de estrés, cuando son activadas, movilizan energía almacenada hacia los músculos, lo que provoca una elevación en la frecuencia cardíaca, la presión sanguínea y la frecuencia respiratoria, inhabilitando al mismo tiempo procesos metabólicos como la digestión, la reproducción, el crecimiento y la inmunidad.

Causas

Un estrés constante provoca el descargo de varias hormonas de estrés que pueden causar:
 Un agotamiento de energía almacenada.
 Hipertensión.
 Efectos sobre los procesos metabólicos.
 Úlceras.
 Crecimiento enlentecido.
 Descenso en niveles de testosterona en los hombres, y ciclos menstruales irregulares en las mujeres.
 Mayor probabilidad de enfermedades infecciosas.
 Depresión.
 Síntomas fantasmas de otras condiciones médicas.
 Enfermedades neurológicas.
 Síndrome del intestino irritable.
 Trastornos del sueño.
 Adicciones.
 Condiciones mentales como trastornos compulsivos.

Técnicas para reducir el estrés

Algunas técnicas para reducir el estrés son: hacer ejercicio, tomar tiempo libre, meditar, practicar ejercicios de respiración, escuchar música, tomar un baño relajante, reír, ir de viaje, dormir más, realizar nuevas actividades (aquellas que sean la pasión u hobby de la persona), leer. Si aun realizando este tipo de actividades el estrés persiste, se podrá buscar ayuda psicológica profesional.

How did the tiny Jaffna Kingdom evolve into a larger Tamil homeland?
It is widely accepted that there was an independent Jaffna Kingdom in Sri Lanka until 1619 when the Portuguese ended it for good. From the Portuguese, subject to a few complications, it went to the Dutch and thence to the British. Similarly there were two other independent kingdoms in the island, namely the Kotte Kingdom and the Kandy Kingdom. Portuguese succeeded in bringing the Kotte Kingdom under their direct control first and then proceeded to take Jaffna. The Kandy Kingdom couldn't be conquered by them and it finally fell in 1815 under a historical agreement with the British. Had the Jaffna Kingdom been part of the Kotte Kingdom, it would have fallen automatically when Kotte fell. But that never happened which means it was a separate kingdom. Obviously some hold different views and the intention of this article is not to prove it but to discuss a more important issue.
What is strange about this is there was no significant movement to gain separate independence for the Jaffna Kingdom. There were very weak movements to demand it but these quickly died down. Had Tamil intellectuals from Jaffna demanded that the old Jaffna Kingdom be granted independence separately from the rest of the country, Britain would have considered it favourably. Apart from India and Pakistan, there are plenty of other examples.
The Jaffna Kingdom was a very small area that didn't even cover the Northern Province by 1619. Trincomalee was under the Kandy Kingdom as per historical accounts. Given its worth for trade and shipping, the Portuguese and the Dutch tried various appeasement tactics aimed at the Kandy king hoping to use it but to little help. Robert Knox was arrested by the army of the Kandy Kingdom when he landed there. Therefore there is little doubt that Trincomalee was not part of the Jaffna Kingdom. There aren't any contrary evidence anyway. On the western part, it is on recorded history that the present Madhu church was located in the Maddu area at the mercy of the Kandy king. Obviously it was a substantial distance from the boundary of the Jaffna Kingdom. Otherwise Tamil Catholics would not have agreed to it as it would have been unsafe and it would not have survived Dutch hostility.
These facts leave only a small area apart from the Jaffna peninsula for the Jaffna Kingdom. That too was in most part heavily underdeveloped by the 20th century. Even today apart from a few places, the rest remain hopelessly underdeveloped in Vanni. The total area of the then Jaffna district that included modern day Kilinochchi administrative district was 2,309 square kilometres. The rest of the old Jaffna Kingdom would have been a few more thousand square kilometres of vastly undeveloped area subject to a few townships. No one of the right mind was going to demand Independence for this area as it would be an economic calamity.
On the other hand, during the Dutch and British periods, Jaffna population grew fast. Rapid migration of Tamils from South India during the Dutch time for its plantation industry is considered a major reason. By 1953, just 5 years after Independence, the Jaffna (mainly Tamil) population was 492,000. This means a population density of 213 persons per square kilometre. This is extremely high as the country's population density was just 123. In other words, Jaffna district population density in 1953 was 1.7 times higher than the island-wide density! According to 1946 population data, it would have been 177 persons per square kilometre for the Jaffna District and 96 persons per square kilometre for the island. (Source- Census of Ceylon) Therefore it didn't make sense to demand the returning back of the old Jaffna Kingdom to its "owners" as there would be a massive and calamitous resource crunch.
This led to the demand of "Tamil Homelands" which encompassed an area of 19,000 square kilometres. This is more than three (3) times larger than the Jaffna Kingdom! And it also included areas of very high commercial value such as Trincomalee, Mannar, Batticaloa and Ampara. None of these was part of the Jaffna Kingdom when it fell to the Europeans. And hence an undoing of the taking of the Jaffna Kingdom would not have given them enough land which was essential for the economic survival of the people of Jaffna by the mid 1900s.
This is how the tiny Jaffna Kingdom grew exponentially to "Tamil Homelands". And this is why the British were not agitated to undo the taking of the Jaffna Kingdom. In 1922 the area encompassing the north and the east of the island was termed "Tamil Eelam" by Sir Ponnambalam Arunachalam - undoubtedly one of the most educated Ceylonese at that time. The one island, two nations concept gathered momentum over the years in the guise of discrimination (although discrimination did take place to a significant extent). But most miraculously it was the Tamil Eelam demand that was (and is) seen as the solution to discrimination by those who promote it! This is bizarre. There is no logical connection between the "Tamil Homelands" concept and solving Tamil grievances.
The plan was not to make the demand from the British for the reestablishment of the status quo of the Jaffna Kingdom but to extort a much larger area from subsequent rulers based on a new set of "reasons" that can be applied and manipulated beyond the tiny old Jaffna Kingdom. This is how the tiny Jaffna Kingdom mysteriously grew to "Tamil Homelands", a landmass more than three (3) times larger. Had they demanded independence for the old Jaffna Kingdom instead, it may have been granted. But it would have been in total calamity as it lacked resources for its very large population and had heavily underdeveloped areas. However, the journey towards "Tamil Homelands" was a horrible mishap and it has reached its bloody end without it in sight. It was a wrong decision.


After the president's budget was released on Monday, House Budget Committee Chairman John Yarmuth (D-KY) called it "A Budget for a Declining America." Unfortunately, that might be an understatement.
The Trump administration's Fiscal Year 2020 budget proposal is a compilation of the worst ideas to come out of the Republican Party over the last decade. It would dismantle public investments that lay the foundation for economic growth, resulting in less innovation. It would shred the social safety net, resulting in more poverty. It would rip away access to affordable health care, resulting in more disease. It would cut taxes for the rich, resulting in more income inequality. It would bloat the defense budget, resulting in more wasteful spending. And all this would add up to a higher national debt than the policies in President Obama's final budget proposal.
The most harmful aspect of Trump's fiscal blueprint is its scheme for gutting investments in public goods that are core responsibilities of government. The administration proposes to reduce the share of gross domestic product devoted to non-defense (domestic) discretionary spending – the category of the budget that is annually appropriated by Congress and includes most federal spending on infrastructure, education, and scientific research – by more than half over the next decade. The result is deep cuts to all three of these important investments that provide the foundation for long-term economic growth.

Ariana Grande's song "Breathin'" is nothing short of a certified bop. From the catchy vocals to the beat that literally makes you want to get up and dance in public, it's no surprise that it's quickly skyrocketed to be one of the most popular songs off her Sweetener album (alongside "No Tears Left to Cry" and "God Is a Woman," natch). What you may not have realized about the jam, though, is that it seems to feature a secret message you probably missed during your first hundred listens.
The song opens with the sound of a voice speaking, and the words are totally indecipherable — that is, until you play it backwards. Someone on Twitter tried it out, and realized that the voice is actually saying, "Tonight's your special night, do something magical."
The phrase itself is cute and inspiring, but that's not the only thing amazing about it. Fans are now convinced that the voice belongs to Ariana's grandfather, who passed away in 2014, and many of them are feeling pretty emotional over the whole thing.

Though Ariana has yet to confirm this theory, she has spoken in the past about how "Breathin'" is an extremely personal song that addresses her struggles with anxiety after the 2017 Manchester attacks. With this in mind, including her grandfather's voice and words on the track would certainly add an entirely new layer of depth.
The singer was incredibly close to her grandfather, who was a constant fixture on her social media feeds and was known for his quippy one liners. In honor of the fourth anniversary of his death on July 22, Ariana took to Twitter to share some of his "greatest hits," and asked fans to share their favorite memories of him, too. With lines like, "May you live as long as you want to and may you laugh as long as you want to," it's not farfetched to imagine that "Tonight's your special night, do something magical" really is a Grandpa Grande original.

Just prior to the Battle of Fredericksburg...
THE MEMPHIS DAILY APPEAL, Jackson, Mississippi, December 22, 1862 If the title and city of publication seem to be in conflict, they are not. This newspaper had a fascinating history during the Civil War. Memphis was a Confederate stronghold up through the Battle of Memphis on June 6, 1862, at which time the Yankees moved in and it became a Yankee city. Being a strong voice for the Confederacy, the "Memphis Appeal" newspaper would not continue under Yankee control. As Wikipedia notes: "...On June 6, 1862, the presses and plates were loaded into a boxcar and moved to Grenada, Mississippi, where it published for some time. The Appeal later journeyed to Jackson, Mississippi, Meridian, Mississippi, Atlanta, Georgia, and finally Montgomery, Alabama, where the plates were destroyed on April 6, 1865, only days before the Confederate surrender, halting publication of what had been one of the major papers serving the Southern cause." So this one newspaper published in six different Confederate cities during the Civil War.
The front page has much of a column headed: "News from the Yankee Army before Fredericksburg--The Eve of the Great Battle", a portion of which begins: "...The great mass of the residents of Fredericksburg are now encamped back of the city, out of range of our guns, as they suppose..." and much more (see). Also on the ftpg. are: "Release of Maryland State Prisoners & their Arrival in Baltimore" "The End of the Yankee Generals" "Reported PEACE PROPOSITIONS From Richmond--What They Are--How They Were Received" "Governor's Message" "Practical Hints for Hard Times".
The back page includes: "The Black Flag--Policy of the Southern States" "Overtures For Peace" "Important From Kentucky and Tennessee" "Destruction of the Federal Gunboat Cairo" "From Nashville" "Federal Reports From North Mississippi" 'Letters From Richmond" and other items. There is also a notice: "Important to Absent Soldiers" (see), and two military "General Orders".
A rare opportunity for a Confederate newspaper printed in Jackson, Mississippi, its third city of publication during the Civil War. Complete as a single sheet newspaper of folio size, evenly toned with light damp staining at the right margin, nice condition.

Bournemouth, the South Coast's riviera
Bournemouth has seen an influx of younger people driven by greater employment opportunities particularly in the financial sector.JP Morgan have a big presence here.
Got a comment to make about Bournemouth?Use the form below to air your views.
This combined with an excellent quality of life and it's proximity to London has made it the choice of many.It is popular with students both at the University and with overseas students attending language schools over the summer.
So let's start at ground zero down by the Pier.
Having said how great Bournemouth is it must be stated the Pier and it's surrounds need some attention.
The Pier itself which costs 50 pence to just walk on, has a theatre, a bar and children's fairground of sorts but just does not inspire.Most of the people going onto it are getting boats to other places like Swanage or Wareham, or perhaps they just want to fish.
At the shore end of the pier is an amusement arcade,there is a second going west along the promenade.The less said about them the better.
As you look at the pier and turn to your left you will see one of the most hated buildings in Britain,The Waterfront.It contains a pub a KFC and a Chinese Restaurant.There is also an Imax cinema except there are no films showed.
Due to a legal dispute between the operate and the building owner there have been no films showed for years.The fact the building is also very ugly does not help either.Many want to see the whole thing demolished myself included.Bourenmouth deserves something better and will now get it as the Council has bought the building.A public consultation is now going on to see what use could be made of the site.
Whatever is decided no doubt this unloved building will come down.
There is a car park next to this hideous structure but as with other car parks in Bournemouth is expensive and fills quickly.I recommend the one off Upper Hinton Road if you are prepared to walk a bit futher, as in 5 mins more to get to the beach.It's a big car park, cheaper, and is never full.
Walk past the Imax building and the car park behind it you will come to the Eastcliff Promenade.Go past the Royal Bath Hotel and you will arrive at Russell-Cotes House.Go here to find out more about this amazing building left to the people of Bournemouth.If you continue eastwards along the promenade you will come to the Pier at Bosombe which is currently undergoing a big upgrade including the installation of an artificial reef.
The reef is now complete but I have to say on a couple of visit i have made,the reef only makes the waves break a little further out.They are not any bigger.
Moving east along the promenade is the inevitable fish and chip shop in this case Harry Ramsdens,the one that started up north near Leeds.Well I am a veggie so I cannot comment on the fish but the chips are OK.
Speaking of fish,there is an Oceanarium to the right of the pier as you look at it.This a a good wet weather option if you have children.It is £20 for a family of four and is open from 10am to 9pm every day except Christmas Day.
There are various tanks showing sea life form all the oceans of the world and even a glass tunnel which sits at the bottom of one tank so you can get right up close and personal with the fish without getting wet.
Outside the Imax building is what looks like one of those flight simulators.Never tried it but by all means...
Looking back towards the town you will see the Pavillion which hosts concerts and shows though is earmarked for redevelopment.
Other that that you would be well advised to move away from the pier and proceed in a northerly direction to the Pleasure Gardens,yes that's what they are called.Here there is the crazy golf and a chance of a ballon ride.This is know as the Bournemouth Eye.A ride costs £10 and lasts 12 minutes.Great views I am told.
Walking through the Gardens you will come to The Square which as the name implies is not a square,hard to say what shape it is really.This is the commercial centre of Bournemouth where all the buses stop.This would be your starting point if shopping.
There is a Debenhams here as well as the usual banks and high street retailers.
Go up Commerical Road and turn right into the Triangle and you will see Bournemouth Library a newish building on two levels,the lower one for books magazines and DVDs the upper for music, sheet and recorded.
