The grinding progress of the negotiations – and the deep divisions in the British government – mean the possibility of a no-deal Brexit is no longer remote. But what exactly would no deal mean? And how should businesses and investors assess the risks?
It is important to be clear on terminology. By no deal, we mean the two sides fail to negotiate even a modest form of preferential trade agreement, let alone the deep and special partnership the UK wants. It also means there is no transition agreement to maintain the status quo, while a long-term deal is sealed. It may or may not involve the EU and the UK reaching a withdrawal agreement covering the divorce terms, including citizens' rights and the financial settlement. If it does not, the outcome would not only be highly disruptive, but toxic for EU-UK relations.
In such circumstances, the baseline for the trade relationship after Brexit would be WTO rules. In practice – and depending on the political atmosphere – it is likely that there would at least be some enhancements to this baseline in the form of bilateral agreements between the EU and the UK on specific issues that are designed to avoid the worst consequences of a no-deal Brexit.
This note explains what WTO terms mean in practice and the factors that would determine what sort of enhancements are most likely. It introduces a framework for assessing the prospects for specific enhancements, which allows businesses and investors to evaluate their exposure to a no-deal Brexit in a systematic manner.
If the formula for a no-deal Brexit is WTO terms plus enhancements, then the first part of the equation is relatively clear.
For goods, WTO terms means the non-preferential tariffs and tariff-free quotas that each WTO member offers to all others. The UK has already said it will adopt the same schedule of preferences, including the tariff profile, as the EU after Brexit, meaning that under WTO rules the tariffs imposed by the EU and the UK on each other would be symmetrical. Not all products would face tariffs – the EU schedule imposes 0% tariffs on thousands of tariff lines – but many would. Where these tariffs are material, this would be costly for consumers and for those businesses with supply chains crossing the EU-UK frontier, especially where they operate on low margins.
For services, WTO rules means trading with the EU based on a combination of the commitments the EU has made to other WTO members or, where no EU-level commitments exist, the national licensing and market access regimes of each EU member state for the sector concerned.
Wholesale and retail banking provides an example. In this sector, there is no EU-level framework for trading with non-EEA countries. This means UK-based firms would have to fall back on the regimes of individual EU states. While these vary, they are generally restrictive. This is not a viable option for any UK-based bank wishing to maintain its passports to serve the full single market. Instead, such a bank would need to become established and authorised inside the EU. The general EU framework for establishing foreign services businesses is relatively liberal and this would apply to UK firms after Brexit, as this is a WTO commitment. But the adjustment would be costly, due to the need to move staff, the duplication of functions, and additional capital requirements.
A particular challenge for services firms, when preparing for a no-deal scenario, is that the rules vary from one sector to the next and across all 27 remaining EU member states. The UK also has its own rules for national licensing, market access and foreign establishment, although these are often more liberal than is typical in the EU27.
There are two additional complications to consider regarding the UK and EU schedules of preferences at the WTO. First, the UK may in the end choose to adapt the EU's schedule, rather than simply transposing it. There is some support among British Conservative MPs for a unilateral reduction in at least some tariffs, particularly where this might benefit consumers, without significantly damaging domestic producer interests. If this happens, the changes are likely to be modest and would be biased towards liberalisation.
Second, the new UK schedule (and the modified EU schedule) must be agreed by the WTO membership by consensus. There are already challenges to how the EU27 and the UK are proposing to divide the tariff-free quotas that are currently allowed by the EU. The UK and the EU would continue to import goods on their proposed terms unless either loses a WTO challenge and is forced to change. This is mostly an issue for agricultural products. If the UK and the EU end up adjusting their schedules, this will also be biased towards liberalisation.
Many countries, such as the United States, already trade with the UK without a preferential trade agreement. This observation has led some to conclude that it would not be such a big deal if the UK resorts to trading with the EU on WTO terms.
This ignores the fact that trade with the US is enhanced by a set of bilateral agreements, covering issues such as customs facilitation, data transfer, and certain regulatory barriers to trade in goods and services. These bilateral agreements are not as comprehensive as the rules governing trade within the single market – but without them, trade with the US would be severely disrupted.
If the UK simply leaves the EU, it would not be able to fall back on a ready-made, US-style set of bilateral agreements, established over several decades. However, given the disruption to trade from an abrupt adjustment to basic WTO rules, it is likely that the UK and the EU would attempt to agree at least some enhancements before the UK formally left the EU.
This second part of the no-deal Brexit equation – the enhancements that might be expected to be agreed – is even harder to assess, as there are no precedents and many uncertainties. There would very likely be little time to reach an agreement, which would also have to be done in difficult circumstances. However, we can evaluate which enhancements are the most plausible. The key is to understand three sets of constraints: the legal; the political; and the practical.
The most important legal constraint is a consequence of WTO membership, which requires that in the absence of a preferential agreement, any terms offered to one country must also be available to other WTO members on a non-preferential basis, unless the issue falls outside the scope of WTO rules.
This prevents the arbitrary waiving of many specific trade rules between the UK and the EU. In practice, it means that some concessions can only be offered where these are embedded in an existing framework and where the concessions are conditional on meeting set criteria.
The EU's data protection framework provides an example. Under the current framework (and a revised framework that enters into force next year) the EU can recognise another jurisdiction as having adequate levels of data protection and allow free flow of data with the EU. The framework is non-preferential, and therefore compatible with WTO rules, as any WTO member can seek an adequacy judgement, including the UK after Brexit.
The political constraints are more ambiguous, but are also likely to be significant. The context for the negotiation of enhancements would be the failure to reach agreement on a comprehensive new preferential trading relationship and perhaps even a withdrawal agreement. This would almost certainly be acrimonious and may even be politically destabilising, as it is questionable whether the UK government of the day would survive such an outcome.
At a minimum, it means the two sides would only have the appetite, and the political space, to attempt to negotiate enhancements where there is an exceptionally strong, mutual interest in addressing the issue.
In assessing the strength of the interest, it is necessary to consider both the materiality of the issue and its urgency. Aviation provides an example of an issue that would be both material and urgent, as a failure to reach a new aviation agreement before Brexit would mean that flights could no longer legally operate between the UK and the EU, causing severe disruption for the sector, for passengers and for commercial relations.
In assessing whether the interest is mutual, it is necessary not only to consider whether the interests of both sides are aligned, but also the extent to which they are balanced. If the interests are not balanced – and one side has a substantially stronger interest than the other – then there is a risk that the issue will be held hostage to gain leverage elsewhere in the relationship. It is possible, for example, that the EU may feel less urgency than the UK to address disruption to data transfer and judge that a short delay in reaching an adequacy decision might allow it to force the UK to make concessions on, for example, citizens' rights.
In an acrimonious political context, the threshold for passing these two tests is likely to be high.
There are several practical constraints to consider, particularly given that there may be very little time to negotiate, agree and implement enhancements.
The need to conduct negotiations and secure agreement quickly, means the issues may need to be conceptually simple. It may also require that a ready-made template exists for such an agreement, even if it is not a perfect one.
These templates might ideally be found in the EU's existing frameworks for its relationships with third countries, but where these do not already exist, some creativity may be required in finding and adapting WTO-compatible templates used by other countries in their bilateral relationships.
The EU and the UK would have two practical advantages. The first, is that they start from a position of close policy alignment, which would be largely preserved by the UK's EU (Withdrawal) Bill, assuming it is passed into law. This makes it more likely that, for example, the EU would conclude relatively quickly that the UK has adequate data protection.
The second, is that some of the issues may already have been explored to the satisfaction of both sides in negotiations over a comprehensive agreement, even if those negotiations ultimately failed. This could provide the basis for agreeing specific enhancements, even where these are legally constrained to be non-preferential.
The need to implement enhancements quickly means the formal processes for doing so on each side become important. This is especially so for the EU, where the European Commission, the European Parliament, and the Council of Ministers will typically play a role. These processes are often prolonged, but in many cases the Commission is able to provisionally implement an agreement, once it has been signed.
What should businesses and investors do?
The set of enhancements that is agreed in a no-deal scenario would be limited, but how limited will depend on both the time available and the political context.
Any business or investor that wants to understand their exposure to a no-deal Brexit needs to take a systematic approach to assessing both what operating on WTO terms means and the prospects for enhancements in different areas.
This must draw on an understanding of the existing templates that the negotiators could potentially draw on and a realistic assessment of how the legal, political and practical constraints will shape the likely outcomes. The annex illustrates this for some issues. The assessment should also be dynamic, as the prospects for enhancements will depend on the progress of negotiations, even if they ultimately break down, and the timing and circumstances of that break down.
This is a complex task, but it can be kept manageable by focusing on the issues that are most critical for the business model or investment thesis.
Commercial flights between the EU and UK are stopped (as are flights between the UK and the US, due to the UK falling out of the EU-US Open Skies agreement).
There are no WTO constraints on aviation agreements. International aviation liberalisation generally remains outside the remit of WTO agreements.
A sudden end to air traffic would create major disruption to movement of people and goods between the EU, the UK and the US. This would likely provide compelling reasons for both Brussels and London to extend UK coverage under current aviation arrangements or negotiate new ones.
Negotiating new EU-UK or UK-US aviation agreements could be lengthy and difficult, given competing interests of airlines (EU airlines may seek to restrict access for UK airlines at EU airports).
Adding the UK as a third-party country to current arrangements (within the EU and between the EU and US) might prove simpler and quicker. This has been done for Norway and Iceland, although they are EEA members and it still took 18 months to add them to the EU-US Open Skies agreement after it was signed.
These agreements need to be approved by the European Parliament, which can take up to a year, but can be provisionally implemented by the European Commission once signed.
Fully-fledged customs formalities would be reimposed on EU-UK trade. The number of customs declarations processed by the UK could potentially increase fivefold. Personnel and facilities are lacking on both sides of the frontier, making major logjams at crossing points and disruption to movement of goods inevitable.
This also creates problems behind the border, as it becomes difficult for EU and UK companies to source in each other's market in a smooth and timely manner.
A customs cooperation agreement could be reached between the EU and UK outside the framework of a free-trade agreement, without violating WTO rules on preferential treatment. The EU already has customs cooperation agreements with China and the US.
Short of a full customs facilitation agreement, the EU and UK could also agree on small ad hoc deals such as mutual recognition of authorised economic operators.
The disruption at the border would be massive and sudden, creating problems for both sides and immediate incentives to relieve the burden placed on their customs authorities.
The scope of disruption would likely be greater for the UK, given that almost half its trade is with the EU and many of its ports in the South and the East trade almost exclusively with EU countries. In the EU, the impact would be significant too, but concentrated on the Irish border and at ports and airports where a lot of goods transit to the UK.
The UK and EU are already aligned on regulatory standards and customs practices, making the negotiation of an agreement easier.
A customs cooperation agreement only needs to be signed by the European Commission before it can enter into force, meaning the implementation of an agreement would be quick.
The UK would no longer have an internationally-approved safeguarding system after leaving Euratom, which would put it in contravention of its obligations under international nuclear law. The UK is taking steps through domestic law to address this. In addition, the UK would no longer be party to Nuclear Cooperation Agreements between Euratom and third countries, including suppliers of nuclear fuel.
Ultimately, this could disrupt imports of nuclear fuel, and in a worst-case scenario, lead to the shutting down of nuclear power plants. The UK would also no longer be able to participate in a range of nuclear research programmes on which it currently cooperates with the EU.
The UK would have to choose between seeking an association agreement under Article 206 of Euratom, or a more narrow participation in research programmes under Article 101. Alternatively, the UK could become a third country and negotiate a Nuclear Cooperation Agreement. The new arrangement would have to be approved by the International Atomic Energy Agency. The WTO does not play a role in nuclear matters.
The UK would also need to strike Nuclear Cooperation Agreements with third countries, without which trade in nuclear fuel and equipment may become illegal (e.g. US), or be refused as a matter of policy (e.g. Australia and Canada).
Both the EU and UK will want to maintain trade in nuclear goods and equipment and continue cooperating in nuclear research facilities – although these may be subject to 'poaching' by EU member states.
The nuclear fuel company Urenco is jointly owned by the UK and Dutch governments and German utilities E.ON and RWE.
The failure to find an alternative set of arrangements would be far more damaging to the UK. The strong anti-nuclear sentiment in some member states, notably Austria, could complicate negotiations.
The UK currently operates to Euratom standards and practices, but continuing to do so as a non-member would require a significant upgrading of the resources and competences of the Office of Nuclear Regulation. This may not be complete in time for the UK leaving the EU and Euratom.
With no deal and no transition period, the UK would need to move fast on its own to obtain IAEA approval for its new nuclear safeguarding system and subsequently to negotiate nuclear cooperation agreements with third countries around the world, before resuming fuel imports. This is likely to take some time.
The EU and UK lose fishing rights in each other's exclusive economic zones, and impose prohibitively high import tariffs on each other's fish exports.
The EU and UK can negotiate a fisheries cooperation agreement to manage shared fish stocks and grant each other fishing rights in their respective exclusive economic zones. This would not violate WTO rules. But any reduction or elimination of the tariffs on fish imports outside of an FTA would violate WTO rules.
The EU would be keen to reach an agreement on management of shared stocks and fishing rights, given that ensuring sustainable fishing practices in and around its maritime territory is a priority for the common fisheries policies.
The post-Brexit UK policy is unclear. But it is unlikely to sign any such agreement without the guarantee in return that it can export its fish to the EU tariff-free.
Their interests are misaligned and imbalanced, making agreement unlikely.
Any fisheries cooperation agreement would be negotiated by the European Commission and referred to the European Parliament for approval. Past precedents suggest it could take up to a year for the agreement to reach the parliament after signature. But it could be provisionally implemented by the European Commission before then.
Leaving the EU without any contingencies for data transfers would mean companies need to establish alternative legal mechanisms for transferring personal data between the EU and the UK.
While some larger companies would have the legal resources to implement binding corporate rules (for intra-group transfers) and standard contractual clauses (for transfers between companies) these mechanisms cannot fully replicate free flow of data and would be costly to implement. They are also currently subject to legal challenge at the ECJ.
Many smaller companies would not have the legal resources to do this. In effect, this would mean an end to transfers of personal data between the EU and the UK for all but the largest companies.
Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which enters into force in May 2018, the EU can pass an adequacy decision, recognising another jurisdiction as having suitable levels of protection and, therefore, as eligible for free flow of data with the EU.
The UK's Data Protection Bill is implementing similar powers for the UK.
Nearly every economic sector would be negatively affected by a cessation in the free flow of data between the EU and the UK. The disproportionate impact on SMEs and tech start-ups would give the issue political salience.
Concerns about disruption would be balanced in the EU to an extent by misgivings over the UK's surveillance and security frameworks, and a need to ensure EU citizens' privacy rights are respected under an adequacy framework.
As in some other policy areas, it is possible that the EU may feel less urgency to address this issue than the UK.
Adequacy decisions under the current Data Protection Directive have taken at least 18 months to implement. More uncertainty is created by the fact that the GDPR enters into force in May 2018, ushering in a revised process and new regulatory thresholds for decisions.
The fact that the UK is implementing the GDPR via the Data Protection Bill should expedite this process. Even then, some form of transitional adequacy decision would be needed while the formal process takes place. A precedent exists – the EU's data protection authorities granted a transitional period to transfers to the US in 2015 after the Safe Harbour Agreement was struck down by the ECJ.
The EU and the UK stop recognising each other's product standards and conformity assessment procedures. For many sectors, this means that goods must undergo additional conformity assessments in the export market before being sold there, creating delays and increasing regulatory costs for companies.
Signing equivalence or mutual recognition agreements outside an FTA framework does not violate WTO rules, providing other WTO members are not denied the opportunity to enter into similar agreements with the EU and the UK. It has typically been straightforward to clear this bar and the EU already has a few such agreements with Australia, the US, and New Zealand, among others, despite not having an FTA with any of them.
Although businesses in most sectors would support this, the EU might regard it as allowing the UK to pursue an a-la-carte regulatory approach to the single market. The EU might therefore seek to tie agreement in certain sectors of strong interest to the UK (cars, chemicals) to agreement in others that are more contentious (food safety).
For the UK, there would be strong incentives to negotiate these agreements to mitigate disruption, but they might also conflict with attempts to re-orientate UK trade towards other markets (notably North America), which could be the priority for DIT in a no-deal scenario.
Agreement could be reached quickly, in theory, with regulatory equivalence already established in practice at the point when the UK leaves the EU.
From a procedural point of view, these agreements need to be approved by the European Parliament, which past precedents suggest could take up to a year. However, agreements can be provisionally applied pending parliamentary approval as soon as an agreement is signed by the European Commission.

What is an Organisation formed by Royal Charter or by Special Act of Parliament?
Written by Better Boards - August 20, 2013
When establishing a non-profit organisation, founders can choose from a large range of legal forms. An organisation's legal structure will determine the types of activities it is legally able to carry out and which government bodies it is required to seek registration from or report to. An organisation formed by royal charter or by special Act of parliament are two possible structures of a non-profit organisation. Find out more about the other types of legal structures here.
Some of the oldest and largest non-profits in Australia take one or other of these legal forms, however, new organisations adopting these structures are now established very rarely.
In the past organisations formed by royal charter were administered by the Prime Minister's Office, but it now "avoid[s] recommendation of such nonprofit forms"[1]. This form has often been used to incorporate or establish significant organisations. A few examples of these types of organisation are Scouts Australia, The University of Sydney, The University of Tasmania and Engineers Australia.
Organisations formed by special Act of Parliament are established when it is "demonstrated to the government of the day that the organisation is substantial and cannot be accommodated under other incorporating statuses"[2].
Many universities and religious bodies have been incorporated by a special Act of Parliament. The University of Melbourne, The University of Queensland, the National Library of Australia and the National Gallery of Victoria are examples of organisations established through special Act of Parliament.
Organisations conforming within either of these structures are complicated and expensive to establish. They must comply with the specific act or charter relating to their establishment, often called their "constituting documents".
This fact sheet is intended as a simple overview of non-profit legal forms and terminology. Non-profit law is incredibly complex and there will be many exceptions, restrictions, allowances and important qualifications that are not described above. This fact sheet is not intended and should not be taken as legal advice. In many cases, serious penalties apply to organisations that are found to be lax in fulfilling the requirements of their legal structure. Dedicated legal advice should be sought from a legal practitioner before taking action.

Networking is the process of communicating with other people to build relationships that can serve a mutual social benefit. It involves sharing information and insights from specific areas of expertise, resulting in a variety of in-person and online connections.
Networking skills, if suitably exerted, are powerful tools for creating a professional social context supporting information and know-how sharing among interested individuals. Of course, to build strong, authentic relationships takes a long time, and managing reciprocity on a professional level can be delicate sometimes. Still, investing energy in creating a network of beneficial relationships is worthy. By the way, properly handling a network of professional relationships seems to be one of the most effective inborn skills of successful businessmen.
Yesterday Andrea Ferri, one of our members, organized a workshop to let the chapter members understand the basis of networking. During the workshop, participants were provided with an insight over the way of thinking of an effective networker. Getting to know your audience and focusing more on the needs and interests of others than ours: this is the right attitude. Nowadays, many networking activities take place on online social media. The speaker also suggested some practical activities for enhancing networking skills. For instance, writing down our strengths and weaknesses and those of the person we're talking to can be useful for better approaching job interviews and other business opportunities.
After that, some networking best practices were introduced. Such activities usually help networkers to obtain the maximum effectiveness with the least effort. The most important thing to have in mind is the reason why you want to make connections. Then, you need to identify the specific audience you wish to connect with. Last but not least, you should always remember to care more about what you are giving than what you are getting.

Q: TON supports multiple workchains - which one should I use in my code? According to TON whitepaper, the TON blockchain network supports multiple chains.
What's the differences between these and which workchain should I use when deploying contracts or reading data from contracts?
When deploying my contract I must to specify which workchain I'm working on, I'm not sure which value to put there:
import { contractAddress } from "ton";

const workchain = ?;
const newContractAddress = contractAddress({ workchain, initialData: initDataCell, initialCode: initCodeCell });

A: TLDR
For regular user work, always use workchain 0 - which is the workchain with workchain_id = 0
What are the different chains in TON?

*

*One master chain - the special unique workchain with workchain_id = -1

Mostly used by network validators for running the PoS elections contracts, regular users don't normally send transactions on this chain.

*Up to 2^32 workchains - today there's only one with workchain_id = 0 but possibly more in the future

99.9% of user transactions on TON take place on workchain 0, this is where you should work unless you know exactly what you're doing.

*Up to 2^60 shardchains per each workchain (they all have the same workchain_id)

This is an internal implementation detail of TON's infinite sharding (autoscaling). If any of the workchains is under heavy load, it will be split automatically to two shardchains and when the load is reduced, it will be merged back. You would normally not care about this, it happens under the hood. When you deploy contracts or send transactions you don't need to specify the shardchain you're working on, it's calculated by the system automatically.

Q: Java Generics Bound mismatch with a raw type I have a super class with a signature like
public abstract class Foo<C extends Comparable<? super C>>{..}

So the C class is supposed to be a Comparable object.
I want to use org.joda.time.Instant (version 1.6) as the type parameter in a subclass
public class SubFoo<Instant>

unfortunately i get this error:
Bound mismatch: The type Instant is not a valid substitute for the bounded parameter <C extends Comparable<? super C>> of the type BigtablePoller<T,C>

The Instant class extends AbstractInstant which implements Comparable (no type parameters)
Is there any way around this issue?
The only way i have been able to make it work is to change Foo to:

public abstract class Foo<C extends Comparable> {}

I would like to avoid the warning and Josh Bloch says not to use raw types in new code (effective java Item 23).

A: Just use this:
public abstract class Foo<C extends Comparable<C>>

The reason your version doesn't work is that Instant is defined as extends Comparable<Instant> not extends Comparable<? super Instant>. If you use bounding, the bounding has to match too.

A: Joda time 1.6 doesn't support Generics so there are three options.

*

*Create a wrapper class that implements the correct interface and use that.

*Suppress Warnings on the super class and deal with the uglyness

*upgrade to joda time 2.0 which supports the generic comparable interface on Instant.

L&Q completes acquisition of Trafford Housing Trust
Acquisition by L&Q will facilitate £4 billion investment in creating 20,000 new homes across the North West
Trafford Housing Trust to become a standalone subsidiary of L&Q, retaining its own brand, Board and executive management team
Larry Gold to become Chief Executive of THT
Edna Robinson, Group Chair of Trafford Housing Trust, to join the L&Q Board and Waqar Ahmed, Group Director of Finance at L&Q, to join the Trafford Board.
L&Q, one of the UK's largest housing associations and developers, has today completed the acquisition of Trafford Housing Trust. The acquisition of Trafford Housing Trust, and its integration with L&Q's existing operations, combines THT's local knowledge, relationships and reputation for quality and innovation with L&Q's 50 years' experience in planning and infrastructure delivery and as a developer of homes, places and communities.
The deal has grown out of a long-standing and highly-successful joint venture partnership and will support a long-term ambition to build 20,000 much-needed new homes in the North West. It will also double Trafford Housing Trust's social investment in the region with the establishment of a £4 million North West Foundation.
In addition to supporting Trafford Housing Trust's new home development plans, the acquisition will enable Trafford Housing Trust to enhance its Quality Home Standard for 9,000 social homes across Greater Manchester, giving customers a better standard of living.
Operationally, Trafford Housing Trust will keep its name and corporate structure and will sit as a standalone company within the L&Q Group. The acquisition does not affect existing staffing numbers and there will be no compulsory redundancies.
The terms of the acquisition agreement enable Trafford Housing Trust to retain and reinvest any profits made through new home sales into its own schemes and social programmes.
David Montague, CEO of L&Q Group, said: "Together, L&Q and Trafford Housing Trust can do so much more to address the need for more affordable housing in the North West and to invest in local communities."
Larry Gold, Chief Executive of Trafford Housing Trust, said: "Trafford Housing Trust has an outstanding reputation as a builder of communities. As a self-managed subsidiary of L&Q, we will be able to build more homes, improve more lives and invest in more communities at a vastly improved scale and pace.
"We will balance the need for new homes in our region with the on-going requirement and commitment to our customers to provide the best possible social housing."

>RAND Study Says U.S. Coast Guard Should Speed Modernization
RAND Study Says U.S. Coast Guard Should Speed Modernization
RAND Office of Media Relations
media@rand.org
FOR RELEASE
The U.S. Coast Guard's ongoing effort to update its fleet of cutters and air vehicles over 20 years will not equip the service to perform both its traditional missions and responsibilities that have emerged since the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, according to a RAND Corporation study issued today.
To obtain adequate assets, the Coast Guard needs to accelerate its planned purchases of cutters and air vehicles, and explore new platform options, emerging technologies and operational changes that would leverage the capabilities of its surface and air fleets, according to the RAND report.
Such a two-pronged strategy may satisfy demand more quickly and at less cost than just expanding the Coast Guard's original modernization plan, said John Birkler, a senior RAND analyst and lead author of the report.
The U.S. Coast Guard commissioned RAND to assess its modernization plan, formally known as the Integrated Deepwater System Program or simply Deepwater. Deepwater began in the late 1990s to slowly but steadily replace or modernize nearly 100 aging cutters and more than 200 aircraft and helicopters.
The endeavor aims to equip the Coast Guard with state-of-the-art cutters, aircraft, helicopters, and unmanned air vehicles at an annual cost of about $500 million in fiscal year 1998 dollars, and to be completed in approximately 20 years. These assets will incorporate state-of-the-art sensors and electronics, and be supported by an integrated logistics system. The program is the largest and most complex acquisition effort in Coast Guard history.
Although the new systems being acquired under Deepwater would be substantially more capable than the legacy systems being retired, the Coast Guard initially was directed to maintain the status quo in terms of overall capability, so that fewer new assets would be needed.
The RAND National Security Research Division was asked to evaluate whether the current Deepwater acquisition plan will provide the Coast Guard with an adequate number and array of cutters, air vehicles, and other assets to meet changing operational demands. RAND's assessment involved two parallel evaluations:
An exploration of issues connected with speeding up, compressing, or otherwise accelerating the pace at which the Coast Guard can acquire surface and air assets that it will operate in the deepwater environment, defined as territory 50 or more nautical miles from shore. As part of this examination, RAND was asked to look at the implications for the force structure, cost, performance, and industrial base of commissioning all replacement assets, decommissioning all outmoded or old-technology (so-called legacy) assets, and completing all modernization tasks earlier than the year 2022.
A determination of whether the original Deepwater plan would provide the Coast Guard with a force structure to meet mission demands. RAND was asked to evaluate the force structure that the original Deepwater acquisition plan would provide and define the boundaries of a force structure that would be large and flexible enough and with the capabilities to fulfill the Coast Guard's traditional and emerging responsibilities.
RAND researchers determined that the program's contractors are capable of building the new cutters and aircraft over a 10- or 15-year period. There would be no significant change to total acquisition cost, but annual expenditures would approximately double. Acquiring assets sooner would significantly boost the Coast Guard's capability in the short term.
RAND researchers concluded that the Coast Guard probably needs to purchase more cutters and aircraft than currently planned, but alternatives also must be a part of the strategy. That should include exploring new approaches that leverage the cutters and air vehicles, such as stationary offshore platforms that a variety of surface or air vehicles could use as operating bases. Other options may include using airships or unmanned air vehicles that can stay aloft for long periods to handle observation patrols, while cutting reliance on manned air and surface assets.
In 2002, the Coast Guard was shifted from the Department of Transportation to the Department of Homeland Security. The Coast Guard was directed to move more rapidly to modernize its fleet of almost 100 cutters and an air arm of more than 200 craft that dates back, in part, to 1950s designs.
The RAND study is titled "The U.S. Coast Guard's Deepwater Force Modernization Plan: Can It Be Accelerated? Will It Meet Changing Security Needs?" Other authors of the report are Brien Alkire, Robert Button, Gordon Lee, Raj Raman, John Schank and Carl Stephens, all of RAND.
RAND's National Security Division conducts research and analysis for the Defense Department, the Joint Staff, the Unified Commands, defense and intelligence agencies, allied foreign governments and foundations.

Rail - Rolling Stock (Freight) - Covered Hopper - 4-Bay Cylindrical, HS 4550
Name Covered Hopper, 4-Bay, Cylindrical HS 4550
SubType Covered Hopper
Variety 4-Bay Cylindrical, HS 4550
Manufacturer Hawker Siddeley Canada (Details)
Era Era IV: 2nd Gen Diesel (1958 - 1978)
History: In the 1970's, Canadian National & Canadian Pacific developed a concept for a standard 4550 cubic-foot 4-bay cylindrical hopper. The basic design of this hopper was developed into two car types, one for grain and similar consistency products and another for potash, dry chemicals and fertilizers.
The most obvious difference between these two types of cars can be seen in the loading hatches on the top of the cars. The grain version of the car has trough hatches spanning the length of the body top, while the potash version has a series of round hatches spaced along the length of the body.
During the production life of the design, thousands of these care were manufactured in various production runs by three different manufacturers. Hawker Siddeley produced many of these cars over the production run, and in total produced 15 variations of the basic design between the grain and potash types of this car.
Today, thousands of these cars remain in service with Canadian Pacific, Canadian National and a number of other operators. Many can be seen in their original "Heritage" paint schemes, as well as more modern schemes, such as the colorful 2008 Green Saskatchewan Grain Car Corporation scheme. Though they initially were primarily seen in Canada, they now travel the rails of North American from Canada to Mexico, with operations in many parts of the United States.
Hawker Siddeley Canada was the Canadian unit of the Hawker Siddeley Group of the United Kingdom and manufactured railcars, subway cars, streetcars, aircraft engines and ships from the 1960s to 1980s.
Founded in 1962 as the Canadian division of British Hawker Siddeley Group, the company assumed the assets of the A.V. Roe Canada Company Ltd. Hawker Siddeley Canada focused on manufacturing heavy rail cars (hopper and tank cars) and transit vehicles (subway cars, intercity railcars and streetcars). Hawker Siddeley Canada headquarters was in Mississauga, Ontario. Its formation in 1962 saw the company acquire control of several A.V. Roe Canada subsidiaries including the Canadian Car and Foundry (CC&F) as well as the Dominion Steel and Coal Corporation (DOSCO) conglomerate, which included various steel mills, coal mines, manufacturing plants, and Halifax Shipyards.
Hawker Siddeley Canada's operations were then acquired by Kingston-based UTDC (later sold to Bombardier Transportation of Montreal, Quebec). SNC-Lavalin purchased the railcar business but mothballed the TrentonWorks plant, which was later acquired by the Government of Nova Scotia and sold to Greenbrier. SNC-Lavalin sold the Thunder Bay plant to Bombardier Transportation and the Hawker Siddeley Canada name was ultimately dissolved in 2001.

Loan term, defined as the period of time between when a loan is received and when the loan is fully repaid, is an important time in the life of any business. During the loan term, businesses must carefully watch finances as they have taken on a new liability which drains cash.
During the loan term a business experiences increased responsibilities. These include principal payment, interest payment, covenants (lender requirements), credit requirements, a certain risk to assets pledged as collateral for the loan, and more. All of these factors make the loan term a period of time in which a business must maintain professionalism. Though the loan term is explained above many people also casually refer to the covenants, or lender requirements which must be upheld for to avoid the lender revoking the loan, as loan terms.
Loan terms, explained simply, generally last up to ten years long. Loans shorter than one year are described as "short term" and loans with a life longer than one year are described as "long term".
During loan terms, certain "covenants" must be upheld. Covenants, in short, are lender requirements which must be met to prevent the loan from revocation. Covenants start as simple as making interest payments and expand to requirements on debt and financial ratios of the business. As a rule of thumb, the more risk a lender experiences the more likely she is to extend loan covenants. Banks, in this manner, have more relaxed loan requirements than mezzanine debt financiers.
Additionally, the loan term becomes a big factor in matters of payment which are related to the loan. Logically, a short term loan in the amount of $1,000,000 will have to be repaid much faster than a 10 year loan amounting to the same sum. For tax purposes, loan terms have the same effect. A business can receive larger tax write-offs for a short term loan, though these write-offs extend to a longer period with a long term loan in the same amount. Though the loan term seems like a simple agreement related to when the loan is repaid, the effects extend into all matters related.
Chris is starting a web design firm. Chris, a student of web design and development since childhood, is an expert in his trade. He has, as luck would have it, found a great partner to market what he does best; create and manage usable web designs. Chris and his partner have had success as a startup, posses a growing collection of assets, and see company growth as their next horizon. They believe a loan will allow for this growth.
First, the two evaluate their options for a loan. Knowing that bank loans are usually some of the cheapest and simplest loans, the two young partners decide on using these. This is after they do their proper due diligence.
The two partners evaluate both short term and long term loans. They will begin by pacing their growth, so they decide on a small short-term loan. They realize that this decision should also be run by a tax accountant soon but decide to move forward for the time being.
The two convene to calculate the mathematics which effect the loan. They set expectations for the total amount, interest and principal payments, loan term, and future value of the loan. These factors, together, create the loan condition and provide insight into the expectations and limitations of the company.
They then begin courting bankers. In this process they discuss several key issues related to the loan term sheet: total term, term of covenants, terms by which if covenants are briefly missed the loan can stay in place, common loan terms for their type of loan, and more. They make sure to find a banker that is educated in his trade.
Now, the two consult with their accountant. The accountant provides useful insight into the deeper matters affecting their loan. Overall, their meeting is a valuable and encouraging lesson. This is much more effective than scouring the web for a "loan payoff calculator".
The partners eventually receive the loan they desired. They did this with the basis of understanding the environment around their loan. They are confident that if they continue to plan their business operations they can avoid costly mistakes and can create a future for themselves. Loan term amortization is not as frightening as it once seemed.

Józef Jankowski (* 17. November 1910 in Czyczkowo, Kaschubei; † 16. Oktober 1941 im KZ Auschwitz-Birkenau) war ein polnischer Pallottiner-Priester und seliggesprochener Märtyrer im Zweiten Weltkrieg.

Die Priesterweihe erhielt er 1936. Nach Beendigung eines philosophisch-theologischen Studiums am Priesterseminar der Pallottiner in Ołtarzew bei Ożarów Mazowiecki wurde er Präfekt der Schulen in Ołtarzew und Umgebung. Im September 1939 wurde er Sekretär eines Kinderhilfe-Komitees und Seelsorger für Soldaten und Zivilisten. Im Mai 1941 wurde er von der Gestapo verhaftet und nach zwei Wochen im Warschauer Pawiak-Gefängnis ins Lager Auschwitz "überstellt" (mit demselben Transport wie Maximilian Kolbe). In Auschwitz erlag Józef Jankowski den Lagerbedingungen und besonderen Torturen.

Papst Johannes Paul II. sprach Jankowski als einen von 108 Märtyrern des Zweiten Weltkriegs am 13. Juni 1999 in Warschau selig, zusammen mit einem zweiten Pallottiner, Priester Józef Stanek.

Józef Jankowski ist Patron der Stadt und Gemeinde Brusy wie von Ożarów Mazowiecki sowie des Dekanats Laski.

Die Grundschule von Czyczkowo in Kaschubei ist nach ihm benannt.

A lament for nickfromfulham
(or, why BBC should put their material on Youtube).
The future of TV is on the net. Too bad the leading TV producers don't understand it.
This year I am living in the US, without a TV. So far I have not missed it – we have Netflix for movies and Youtube for music and clips. Having to chose your programming yourself means zero hours channelsurfing on the sofa, and a delightful lack of background noise from breakfast TV shows and similar junk.
But – what to watch when you want a little fun? For my youngest daughter (she is here in Boston to take a year of US high school) and I Friday nights have been spent in front of our nice 23 inch monitor, wathing Never Mind the Buzzcocks, a great, wild, satirical quiz show about pop music. And when I want to relax by myself, there is the unsurpassable QI, a [deeply intelligent/self-indulgingly moronic] quiz show with a pop science bent. Or I can watch some of BBCs great series, such as Stephen Fry's programs about the English language.
Through Youtube, I have come to know and appreciate comedians and actors such as Bill Bailey, Phill Jupitus, Jo Brand, Noel Fielding, Alan Davies, Jimmy Carr, Sean Lock, Rich Hall, John Sessions, Rob Brydon, David Mitchell and Dara Ó Briain, just to name a few. I have learned a lot and laughed even more. The episode where Emma Thompson describes how she used her body to terrify Stephen Fry to complete breakdown or where Jack Dee serves the mother of all putdowns to Sandy Toksvig and Ronni Ancona are complete jewels.
Which brings me to a sad point: The channel NickFromFulham, who (assuming there is a Nick and he is from Fulham) has put up all these videos, was recently shut down from Youtube. Where should we go now for our witty and intelligent entertainment? You see, almost none of the stuff that BBC produces is viewable outside the UK, except in short snippets, on DVDs, or on the anemic BBC America channel, for which we would have to get a TV, and then put up with programs that are both delayed and also watered down in terms of swearwords, sexual and scatological references and much of the Britishness that makes Britain both British and bearable.
The funny thing is, of course, that if it wasn't for Youtube's technical capability and NickfromFulham's diligent uploading and characterization, I wouldn't know much about QI and nothing about Buzzcocks. Which makes me wonder a) what else is out there, not just in BBCland but in many TV stations around the world, and b) why the heck doesn't BBC (and NRK, its Norwegian state-funded equivalent and all others) put their stuff out in digital format?
To the first point: I gave a talk to NRK in June, about disruption in the media industries and so on. As part of the discussion of how to strategize for the future, I urged them to fill up available spots in their many channels with stuff like QI – quality shows that have a very local appeal, but in an increasingly global world will have global appeal without sacrificing quality. When you treat your viewers as intelligent, they will act intelligently. To quote David Foster Wallace, in his his brilliant essay E Unibus Pluram:
TV is not vulgar and prurient and dumb because the people who compose the audience are vulgar and dumb. Television is the way it is simply because people tend to be extremely similar in their vulgar and prurient and dumb interests and wildly different in their refined and aesthetic and noble interests.
The point being – with infinite channel capacity, you can attract a large audience, in many countries, by not pandering to the lowest common denominator. (The fact that QI is one of BBC's most watched programs shows that the common denominator may, in fact, not be so low after all.)
The future of TV is on the net – but in order to attract people to the net, you have to release your best stuff, and gradually become the source and context of quality entertainment rather than a prison of old business models. And incidentally, slamming the door in the face of your biggest fans is not the way to go about it.
As for us? Well, my daughter is 17 and an accomplished net surfer. She can easily find and download the next episode of Buzzcocks from one of many pirate sites. Not that I like it, but what can I do? (Well, IP spoofing and going to BBC's web site in the UK itself would be another option.) Or I can watch something else, which, of course, lowers the commercial value of all those actors and comedians participating in the things I would like to see.
Incidentally, here is one of the most watched Norwegian skits on Youtube. Let's see if you understand it, even if it is in Norwegian (with subtitles):

About Utah Crime Possessing a Weapon on School Premises Under Code 76-10-505.5
Even though Utah has fairly relaxed gun regulations, there are still certain acts which are prohibited by law. One of these acts is to bring a dangerous weapon onto school grounds, whether that weapon is a firearm, a knife, or another object that is capable of causing death or serious harm.
If your daughter or son was arrested for bringing a gun to school, or if you were charged with weapons possession on school property, the consequences can be dire, especially if you or your child has a record of prior offenses. It is crucial to ensure that you or your child is represented by a skilled, aggressive, and knowledgeable weapons possession defense attorney who knows what sorts of strategies to apply in these challenging, high-stakes cases. Don't wait another day to seek the legal help you need. Call the law offices of Overson Law at (801) 758-2287 to arrange a free and confidential consultation.
Was Your Child Arrested for Bringing a Gun, Knife, or Weapon to School in Utah?
In order for a defendant to be convicted of possessing a dangerous weapon on school property, the prosecution needs to prove certain facts, which are known as elements of the offense. If any of these elements are missing or are shown to be untrue, the defendant cannot be convicted of that particular crime.
Under Utah Code § 76-10-505.5 – the statute that defines the crime known as "possession of a dangerous weapon, firearm, or short barreled shotgun on or about school premises" – an element of the offense is that the defendant knew, or had reasonable cause to know, that the building or property was in fact a school premises. The term "school premises" can mean:
A public or private elementary school
A public or private secondary school (middle school, high school)
A public or private college, community college, or university
A preschool or daycare
School property, such as a field or parking lot
The term "dangerous weapon" is broad, and extends beyond firearms. It includes guns and many other objects, such as clubs and knives, which are "capable of causing death or serious bodily injury."
Certain people are exempt from this law. A person should not be charged with possessing a weapon on or about school premises if he or she:
Is authorized to possess a weapon under certain laws
Has obtained approval to possess a weapon from the school administrator
Additionally, it is lawful to possess a weapon on school premises if the object "is present or to be used in connection with a lawful, approved activity and is in the possession or under the control of the person responsible for its possession or use."
Utah Penalties for Weapon Possession on School Property: Sentencing and Criminal Fines
There are two basic types of crimes in Utah: misdemeanors and felonies. Weapons possession on school property is a misdemeanor, but that does not mean it is a minor or insignificant matter. On the contrary, the penalties for this crime can be quite severe.
There are three types of misdemeanors under Utah's criminal laws: Class C misdemeanors, Class B misdemeanors, and Class A misdemeanors. A Class A misdemeanor is the most serious type of misdemeanor charge, being only one level below a felony.
Possessing a weapon at school can be a Class B or Class A misdemeanor, depending on the type of weapon that is involved in the offense. It is a Class A misdemeanor under Utah Code § 76-10-505.5(3)(b) when the weapon is a:
Short-barreled shotgun (sawed-off shotgun)
Firearm, a term which includes:
Short-barreled rifles
Any other "device that could be used as a dangerous weapon," if it is capable of "expel[ing] a projectile by action of an explosive"
Unless it involves a firearm or short-barreled shotgun, the offense is otherwise categorized as a Class B misdemeanor under Utah Code § 76-10-505.5(3)(a). In Utah, the criminal penalties for a Class B misdemeanor can include:
Up to $1,000 in criminal fines
Up to 6 months in jail
In addition or as an alternative, the defendant may receive other penalties, such as probation or mandatory community service.
The Utah penalties for a Class A misdemeanor are more severe, and may include:
Up to 1 year in jail
Again, the court may order additional penalties at its discretion, depending on factors like the defendant's age and criminal history.
Experienced Salt Lake City Defense Attorney Representing Juvenile Defendants
A person of any age can be charged with weapons possession on school grounds. However, juveniles are generally subject to different criminal procedures and penalties than adults, except in cases where they are tried in adult court. If your teenage son or daughter was arrested for bringing a weapon to school, it is very important that he or she is represented by a juvenile defense lawyer who has specific experience handling criminal charges against teens and minors, like Darwin Overson of Overson Law.
These charges are serious regardless of the defendant's age. If you have been arrested for gun possession at an elementary school, middle school, high school, college, community college, university, or preschool in Utah, it is in your best interests to contact our law firm immediately for assistance. To set up a free legal consultation, call Overson Law at (801) 758-2287 as soon as possible.

Schedule of Panels and Keynote Speaker
9:00 | Registration, coffee warm-up, etc.
10:00 | Panel: Using Mobile Devices to Uncover Seemingly Lost Historical Memory of the Confederacy, Leprosy, and White Supremacy in New Orleans
New Orleans residents, both natives and more recent arrivals, enjoy participating in the city's collective historical memory. Nevertheless, much of the past remains unexamined and often unknown. This is a panel presentation on digital iterations of South Louisiana's historical memory. Three online and mobile tours will reveal stories about Louisiana's past that have been misrepresented or ignored in historical memory. With Jessica Dauterive, Kevin McQueeney, and Michael Mizell-Nelson, University of New Orleans.
11:30 | Panel: Building Capacity in Marginalized Communities
Presented by the Young Leadership Council (YLC), this panel will focus on the cultural, economic, educational, and social challenges that New Orleans' most vulnerable communities face, and how the YLC and other such organizations have mobilized vast volunteer-based networks to create, fund, and implement new programming in response to those needs.
Scott Sternberg, Moderator • Curry Smith, executive director, YLC • Kelley Bagayoko, legislative aide to state representative Helena Moreno • Alyssa Wenck-Rambeau, director of finance at New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center • Warren M. M. Surcouf, project manager for Fat City Friends, v.p. of development for the YLC board of directors
2:00 | Keynote Speaker: Dr. Andre Perry
[2]"Education is like water; put down your reform rake." Rakes don't organize water very well. Likewise, charter schools, vouchers and lotteries aren't the proper tools to deal with the root problems of New Orleans education. New Orleans public schools must become a "unified school district" if the needs of children, families and communities are to be met. Getting, private and parochial school parents to believe we're all in this together has been and will be the essential problem that needs solving.
Andre Perry, Ph.D., is the Founding Dean of Urban Education at Davenport University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He was associate director of the Loyola Institute for Quality and Equity in Education in New Orleans and served as the CEO of the Capital One–University of New Orleans Charter Network, composed of four charter schools in New Orleans.
Dr. Perry is a regular contributor to The Washington Post and a columnist for the Hechinger Report [5] on education journalism. He has appeared on NBC, CNN, NPR, Al Jazeera America, and in The New Republic. In his book The Garden Path: The Miseducation of a City [6] (University of New Orleans Press, 2011), Perry illustrates the tensions in post-Katrina education reform in New Orleans. He also contributed a chapter to Resilience and Opportunity: Lessons from the U.S. Gulf Coast after Katrina and Rita [7] (Brookings Institution Press, 2011).
3:00 | Panel: Saga at Treme: The Story of How A Quest for Personal Resilience Exposed Incompetence and Waste in Government
City planner Amy Stelly: "Saga at Treme will be presented through PowerPoint and a discussion that focuses on tips and strategies for effectively engaging government through email communication. The session will also feature a discussion with the players who started the ball rolling. They worked to build community support at the grassroots level and have chosen to vocalize their displeasure as our engagement with the City of New Orleans continues to heat up."
4:00 | Panel: Religion in Post-Katrina New Orleans
A conversation among representatives from diverse faith/spiritual communities over how such communities have been instrumental in the recovery of people's spiritual health and emotional/psychological well-being since the flooding of New Orleans in 2005.
Charlotte Klasson, New Orleans Secular Humanist Association • Matt Rousso, Maryknoll Mission Education Office and St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish • Tahera "Ty" Siddiqui, New Orleans Lamplight Circle • Rev. William Thiele, The School for Contemplative Living • Rev. Tom Watson, Senior Pastor, Watson Memorial Teaching Ministries

Dr. Paul T. Kwami
In 1994, he was named Musical Director of the Fisk Jubilee Singers, becoming the first African to hold this position. He served as the Chairman of the Fisk Music Department from 1996 to 2003. Under his directorship, the Singers have received numerous awards including the induction into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 2000, a Grammy Nomination and a Dove Award received for Poor Man Lazarus on the 2002 CD, In Bright Mansions. Other awards include induction into the Music City Walk of Fame, the Governor's Folklife Heritage Award and the Recording Academy Honors. Kwami is the Executive Producer of the recording entitled, Rise, Shine! Fisk Jubilee Singers, Live In Concert. He is the Co-Executive Producer of In Bright Mansions. The recording of the latter led to William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, LLC becoming the booking agents for the Fisk Jubilee Singers.
He is a composer, an arranger, a teacher and a conductor. The Fisk Jubilee Singers and vocal music performers around the country have performed Kwami's compositions. His arrangements have also been featured in the documentary, The Fisk Jubilee Singers: Sacrifice and Glory. Kwami has been interviewed for various documentaries including The Story of Gospel Music, a BBC production, Ain't That Good News: The Fisk Jubilee Singers which was produced by Louisiana Public Broadcasting, A Spiritual Journey with the Fisk Jubilee Singers produced by WKRN-TV, Nashville, TN and A Sacred Journey produced by Sunrise Music Group, Nashville, TN. He has worked with the Tennessee Arts Commission in presenting the ensemble in Tennessee's major performing venues, including Laura Turner Hall in the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, Nashville TN. This collaboration resulted in the production of a first-class educational curriculum, which has been distributed throughout schools in the state of Tennessee. This also led to the Fisk Jubilee Singers being awarded the National Medal of Arts by President George W. Bush and First Lady Laura Bush in 2008 at the White House. Kwami has also collaborated with the Weill Music Institute at Carnegie Hall and the Kennedy Center to produce educational programs. As a choral music clinician, Kwami conducts workshops, master-classes and lecture recitals. He was recently commissioned by Tennessee Arts Commission to compose an original music, which was scored for a children's chorus, SATB and full orchestra. The composition, We Love Music, was premiered at the 2013 ArtsFest in Memphis, TN with Kwami as the conductor.
Under his directorship the Fisk Jubilee Singers have performed in many renowned venues including Apollo Theatre, the historic Plymouth Congregational Church in New York, Kennedy Center, Smithsonian Institute, Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, The White House and several Spanish and Italian halls. The Fisk Jubilee Singers also have performed with Faith Hill, Hank Williams Jr., Shania Twain and Natalie Cole. Other such performances include appearances of the Fisk Jubilee Singers with Neil Young in the Live 8 concert in Canada, Farm Aid 2005 and the taping of his movie "Prairie Wind" at the Ryman Auditorium. In July 2007, Kwami led the Fisk Jubilee Singers, at the invitation of the Department of State, to Ghana on a sacred journey for the first time in the history of the ensemble for the celebration of Ghana's 50th Independence anniversary.
Kwami is the first African to direct the ensemble and the first recipient of the award to serve as Curb-Beaman Chair for the Fisk Jubilee Singers ®. He serves as a board member for the following organizations: Nashville Advisory Council, Gospel Music Association Foundation and the Schermerhorn Symphony Committee in Nashville, TN. He is also a member of the Nashville Music Council and member of the Advisory Council for W.O. Smith Community Music School in Nashville.

It used to be that if you were living in Guinea-Bissau and wanted to buy from US or ship goods back to Guinea-Bissau, it was almost impossible. So many American companies do not ship products overseas, or their costs for doing so are prohibitive. Often the only recourse to acquiring American goods was waiting until you made a trip to U.S. soils yourself, or putting a friend or relative doing so in the uncomfortable position of acting as your courier. Fortunately today, there's another better option to meet your US shopping needs or resolve the shipping problems. That is the package forwarding service by USGoBuy.
UsGoBuy is a package forwarding service located in Portland, Oregon in the western United States. We make it possible for shoppers in Guinea-Bissau and around the world to buy American goods that previously were unavailable due to shipping restrictions or high shipping costs. Today, residents in Guinea-Bissau can enjoy products from Amazon, eBay, H&M, Walmart, and many more internationally known manufacturers and online shopping sites.
How our package forwarding works? First register, then we provide you with a valid U.S. shipping address for you to have your packages shipped to when making online purchases. When we receive those goods at that address, we forward them on to you for a low international shipping fee. Customers pay much lower fees than they would using other package forwarders, and our staff will work with you from the time you register with us until your authentic American products reach your door.
The minimus value of Guinea-Bissau is the declared value of your shipment below which duty and tax will not be applicable. If the total declared value of your shipment imported is LESS than the amount, duty and tax are not applicable (some products belong to different types of fees or taxes). Duties and taxes are excluded from your shipping costs, and any charges due upon delivery are at members' own cost.

Q: Factorization of $p\mathcal{O}_K$ in $\mathcal{O}_K$ Let $K=\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)$, where $\alpha$ is a root of $f(x)=x^3+x+1$. If $p$ is a rational prime. What can you say about factorization of $p\mathcal{O}_K$ in $\mathcal{O}_K$?
I have this: The discriminant is -31 and the minkowski bound,  $M_K \leq 1.57$. Then $N(\mathcal{A})=1$, $\mathcal{A}$ a ideal class. I can say anything about the question?

A: The Discriminant of the $\mathbb{Q}$-basis $\{1, \alpha, \alpha^2\}$ is $-31$ which is square free, and contained in $\mathcal{O}_K$. From this can you conclude that $\{1, \alpha, \alpha^2\}$ is a basis for $\mathcal{O}_K$? You should be able to (this is a standard result).
If you convince yourself that the ring of integers is indeed $\mathbb{Z}[\alpha]$, then try to use the following (also well-known ?) result:
Let $p$ be a rational prime. Now $f = x^3 + x + 1$ is the minimal polynomial of $\alpha$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. Reduce $f$ mod $p$ to obtain $\overline{f}$, and let $\overline{f} = \prod_i h^{e_i}_i$, be an irreducible factorization of $\overline{f}$ in $\mathbb{F}_p[x]$. Let $f_i \in \mathbb{Z}[x]$ such that $f_i$ mod p $= h_i$. Then the ideal $P_i = (p, f_i(\alpha))$ is prime in $\mathcal{O}_k$, and
\begin{equation}
(p) = \prod_i P^{e_i}_i
\end{equation}
From your observation that $M_K \leq 1.57$, you further know that $\mathcal{O}_K$ is a PID, so all you $P_i$ are principal.
