Breakthrough_TownHall_Recommendations - Breakthrough India
Recommendations Emerging from the Town Hall on Another Pandemic - Domestic Violence There is a need for targetted messaging from the topmost levels of the National Government on the issue of domestic violence. This needs to go out to everyone through public broadcast channels like TV and radio. Service providers working on cases of domestic violence need to be recognised as essential services by the Government. NGOs shared that it was becoming very difficult for them to respond to cases due to lockdown measures. Government machineries like One Stop Centres etc and NGOs providing support on domestic violence must be strengthened to provide full support and must have the additional requirements like protective gear, safe transport and access to the survivors. All Covid 19 measures must be gender responsive. The recent incident of a woman migrant worker dying because of facing sexual abuse in an isolation ward in Gaya district, where she had been kept because she was suspected to be posi- tive for Covid 19 is a glaring example of how the current response to Covid 19 is missing a gender lens. There is a need for messaging from the central government to the state govern- ments to support and encourage state level work on addressing domestic violence. We have seen state governments like Kerala and West Bengal announce helplines for domestic violence and put out advertisements. This and more needs to happen across other states too. Strong steps need to be taken against the relaxation of the PCPNDT rules. Report- ing has been relaxed till June 30th. The rationale is not clear. This should not become blanket permission to conduct sex selection tests. Sexual and Reproductive Health services and commodities should be declared as essential. During the lockdown a lot of women are being subjected to unprotect- ed, forced sex. Women are at a high risk of getting infections. Service like abortion is not available. Commodities like condoms and sanitary products are not avail- able. Information for pregnant women about their health and safety in the context of Covid 19 must be made available and shared widely. Alternatives to shelter homes need to be explored or if we can move the perpetra- tor out of their homes, leaving the women and children. For example: Some coun- tries have hotels and hostels acting as shelter homes. Clear guidelines for shelter homes for taking in survivors of domestic violence are also required. Currently, they are not clear about what to do. An example one organisation shared was about a shelter home asking the NGO to confirm that the woman was not a corona virus carrier. Both the NGO and the shelter home did not know how to tackle the issue. Higher judiciary can be made cognizant of the situation on the ground. This can help in roping in and mobilizing DLSAs. ASHA and AWW can share information about existing services on DV to the women in their communities. Protection officers are burdened with Covid 19 responsibilities. They should be removed from these duties so that they can focus on responding to domestic violence cases. Multiple instances of protection officers not being responsive due to being burdened by Covid 19 responsibilities were shared by NGOs. Medico legal reports are not being prepared because of which there is a delay in filing of FIRs. This was shared during the discussion by a participant and many confirmed that this was happening. Systemic response from authorities like police not uniform. Some places they are responsive, some places they are not. For the long term, women's rights groups need to collecitivise and come up with feminist recommendations to the Disaster Management Act. Men's groups can put out messaging for men. www.inbreakthrough.org +91-11-41666101-06 | contact@breakthrough.tv Plot 3, DDA Community Centre, Zamrudpur, New Delhi, Delhi - 110048 Breakthrough India @

U.S. Is Trying to Exchange Gitmo Prisoners for Peace with Taliban
Reuters report that the U.S. government has been in talks with the Taliban to broker a peace with the militant Islamists the U.S. invaded Afghanistan back in 2002 to overthrow in the first place.
By Dino Grandoni
Update 10:22 a.m.: At least one "senior Afghan Taliban commander" is denying that the militant group is in talks with the U.S., according to an update from Reuters on its report this morning. "How can talks be at a critical point when they have not even started," the commander told Reuters in response to its story.
Reuters report that the U.S. government has been in talks with the Taliban to broker a peace with the militant Islamists the U.S. invaded Afghanistan back in 2002 to overthrow in the first place. For the past 10 months, in hush-hush meeting in Germany and Doha, the U.S. has been looking to "transfer of an unspecified number of Taliban prisoners from the Guantanamo Bay military prison into Afghan government custody." This likely won't turn out to be President Obama's way of emptying Gitmo so it can finally be closed -- the prison has some 171 inmates, according to a May 2011 count, only about 20 of whom are Taliban members, according to Reuters. But State Department officials Reuters spoke to hope that the prisoner exchange would be a tit-for-tat "confidence-building measure" to reintegrate the Taliban into the Afghan government -- so it stops fighting to take it down.
The stakes in the diplomatic effort could not be higher.
Failure would likely condemn Afghanistan to continued conflict, perhaps even civil war, after NATO troops finish turning security over to Karzai's weak government by the end of 2014.
Success would mean a political end to the war and the possibility that parts of the Taliban - some hardliners seem likely to reject the talks - could be reconciled.
In exchange, the U.S. would be looking for the "denunciation of international terrorism and a public willingness to enter formal political talks with the government headed by Afghan President Hamid Karzai." But if today's report turns out to be founded ("Few officials describe themselves as optimists about the peace initiative; at the State Department, formally leading the talks, senior officials see the odds of brokering a successful agreement at only around 30 percent" according to Reuters), what a strange way for the Afghan war to come full circle: the U.S. making amends with the very regime it ostensively went to war to originally ouster. Expect the GOP presidential field not to take that decision from President Obama well.

Much like the sweet music of a gorgeous baby grand, moving can evoke both happy and sad moments. Moving to a new home ushers in a world of new possibilities, from new promising new careers to the possibility of new friendships. But it also means leaving an old home, with treasured memories and close friends, behind.
Thankfully for music lovers, moving no longer necessitates saying goodbye to your favorite piano.
But if you're not careful, moving one of your most prized possessions can be incredibly costly and overwhelmingly stressful.
Even before you add a piano into the mix, the simplest piano move can be stress-inducing and physically exhausting. Piano moving makes a simple move look like child's play. To ensure your prized possession reaches its new destination safely and securely, the #1 thing to avoid is a DIY move. Moving a piano to another room or a new home without skilled movers comes with tremendous risk.
If you're trying to cut costs by eliminating professional piano movers, consider this. Moving a piano incorrectly without the correct techniques and equipment can cause costly damage to walls, floors and staircases, not to mention the piano itself. Further, back and knee injuries sustained during a move can be devastating.
Hiring a professional piano moving company like All Jersey Moving & Storage to move your piano is critical to ensuring a successful, cost-effective move. It's important to remember that just because a moving company is well rated doesn't mean it is experienced with piano moving. Professional piano movers have the specialized skills and tools necessary to safely move your piano without damaging it or your home.
It's important to remember that just because a moving company is well rated doesn't mean it is experienced with piano moving. Search for a moving company with expertise in moving pianos and other large, delicate antiques. A thorough search should include requesting quotes and getting honest consumer feedback from others who have personally used the movers you are considering for your upcoming piano move. General internet searches can be revealing. Don't be blinded by cheap moving quotes. When it comes to moving – especially piano moving – you get what you pay for. You don't want cheap, inexperienced movers to cut corners and put your home or instrument at risk.
Now that you've secured a professional moving company with piano moving expertise to execute your move, what can you do to prep for moving day?
The first and arguably most critical action step you can take is to get insurance coverage on your piano. This coverage is in addition to the coverage on the rest of the items being moved. The reason for this is that pianos are generally high in value. Knowing that your instrument is covered will give you peace of mind that in the event that damage is sustained, your asset will be protected. It's worthwhile to ask your moving company if they offer any liability coverage. Find out exactly how much coverage they offer, bearing in mind that basic coverage will likely not cover the expense of repairing or replacing a high end piano.
Use special padding to cover the piano legs. Professional piano movers are trained to move pianos carefully to protect legs from breaking or cracking.
Applying plastic or tape directly to the piano's surfaces to keep padding in place can damage its finish.
To ensure your sheet music and other removable pieces aren't lost or damaged in transit, pack them separately and clearly label the container.
Consider getting your piano tuned once you're settled in your new home. It's recommended to wait a couple of weeks to give your piano time to adjust to its new environment.
Moving your piano can be stressful, but with professional piano movers like All Jersey Moving & Storage it doesn't have to be. In addition to traditional short and long distance residential and commercial moves, we have decades of experience safely transporting valuable pianos, art and antiques.

Remote Healthcare Delivery From Data to Drones
From remote monitoring to telemedicine to unmanned aerial delivery, all the technologies we need to deliver healthcare remotely via the Internet are available today. A variety of portable medical devices measure vital signs (temperature, heart rate, BP, BMI, oximetry and so on). Forget Skype, by next year Ostendo plans to have smartphones beam holograms just as R2-D2 did in Star Wars. Drones are being tested to deliver medical payloads to remote locations. Lab on a chip technology is more of a reality and can detect infectious diseases such as Malaria, Rotavirus, Influenza and so on. And digital stethoscopes, portable ultrasound machines, Internet-enabled otoscopes and retina cameras have been around for awhile.
All we need to do then is re-imagine healthcare delivery by connecting the dots. Let's do so by first breaking up medicine into six discrete steps.
Six Steps of Medicine:
1. Underlying Indicators: This is when underlying indicators exist but symptoms haven't manifested sufficiently to cause a patient to seek medical help. For example, a patient may be susceptible to heart disease (e.g. high cholesterol or high BP) but has never had symptoms such as fatigue or chest pain.
2. Visible Symptoms: Here, a patient suffers from mild to traumatic pain/discomfort owing to manifested symptoms. For example, fever is the most common symptom for a variety of diseases. At this step of the process, we do not know why a patient is suffering but we simply know that she is.
3. Preliminary Consultation: A preliminary consultation establishes objective data through vital signs (temperature, BMI, BP, SPO2 levels etc.). Vital signs broadly indicate problems that could become serious, persistent diseases.
4. Core Consultation: A core consultation is when a doctor tries to arrive at a diagnosis from a variety of possible options. Lab tests/CT-scans/radiology tests and so on are also conducted to arrive at as precise a diagnosis as possible.
5. Assessment and Plan: By this step, a doctor makes a clear assessment of the medical problem and prescribes a plan. This involves medications (e.g. antibiotics for an infection) or referring the patient to another specialist (e.g. a cardiologist for further investigation) or further examination.
6. Follow Up: Assuming that the patient follows through with the plan, a follow-up visit assesses the progress made and determines if any changes might be required.
It is these steps that need to be re-imagined and executed remotely removing the need for the doctor and patient to be co-located.
Advanced Technologies Enabling Remote Healthcare Delivery:
1. Lab-on-a-chip (LOC): An integrated microfluidics device that performs various laboratory functions. See Achira Labs, Cue, Foldscope (uses paper to detect Malaria), Eugene Chan's Universal Blood Sensor.
2. Imaging: A pocket ultrasound device can 'show' the heart and working of other organs. A portable X-Ray machine extends diagnostics remotely. See GE Vscan, Mobisante, Fuji Sonosite, Siemens Acuson, Tribogenics Modis 810.
3. Digital-enabled medical devices: A digital stethoscope, otoscope, retinal camera can help doctors physically examine specific organs via the Internet. See Thinklabs One stethoscope, Rijuven Cardiosleeve, Cellscope, WelchAllyn Otoscope, Firefly Digital Otoscope, Phone-based retinal camera.
4. ECG and Vitals: Devices that can plug into a smartphone or tablet and can provide ECG and vitals such as respiratory rate, BP, BMI, temperature, oximetry. See Scanadu, AliveCor, Cardiac Designs ECG Check, Wello by Azoi, Withings.
5. EHR software: Other than storing medical records digitally, electronic health records can form a platform integrating data from doctors, patients, various medical devices and tests that make it possible to deliver healthcare remotely. This is the direction we are going with my company's enki EHR platform.
6. Telemedicine software: Through technologies such as Skype, people are increasingly comfortable interacting over video. See Teladoc, American Well, Doctor on Demand, iKure. Ostendo develops a chip that can bring hologram technology to smartphones that would make a physician-patient virtual interaction more immersive.
7. Analytics software: Medicine is actively becoming a data science subject to analytics and therefore, protocol-driven medicine that can help curb disease at source. For example, population-scale deworming or screening for TB or vaccination protocols. Please see clinical decision support illustrations at Zynx, UpToDate, emerge, Isabel.
8. Unmanned Aerial Vehicles: Commercial drones are actively being tested to deliver payloads remotely. Watch this Amazon PrimeAir video that shows a drone deliver a package home. Why not prescriptions?
A Health Box for Remote Healthcare Delivery
Several years ago, Parashuram, an attendant in our office lost his wife (who lived back home in a village) due to a gastrointestinal complication. I tried to get her medical records to doctors in the US but the diagnosis came in simply too late. She died a futile death – like several millions of patients who lack access to a timely diagnosis. That episode changed the direction of our company – it became obvious to me that health data needs to traverse easily and globally and an early diagnosis needs to be arrived at to avoid both costs and complexity.
Given all the technologies that are today available, imagine if a patient had a Health Box, a conceptualization that integrates everything to deliver healthcare remotely via the Internet.
A Simple Visualization: When in need of medical care, the patient or her family presses a button on the Health Box that alerts a contact center, which then patches on a nurse/doctor-on-call via a hologram. Per the doctor's request, required accessories are plugged in to the Health Box to capture vital signs (e.g. BP, temperature, oximetry) and a physical exam is conducted (e.g. asking a patient to cough and placing the digital stethoscope on a patient's chest or back). The data is seen in real-time via the EHR. The doctor makes a preliminary medical judgment regarding the next step of care. In case of emergencies, the contact center dispatches a drone to deliver a medical payload at the precise location of the Health Box.
The World Bank estimates that India loses 6% of its GDP (that's $110B) due to premature deaths and preventable illnesses. This statistic wouldn't be a whole lot better for any developing country. The developed world has a more nuanced problem – the US also suffers healthcare access, premature deaths and preventable illnesses, perhaps more than the developing world. At the crux of the problem is our inability to stop disease at source. This is what remote healthcare delivery does – encourages patients and healthcare providers to deal with medical problems before they explode in complexity and cost. It's imperative that we figure this out.

EHR, Remote Healthcare Delivery 0 comment
Update on remote healthcare delivery from Michigan to Sri Lanka
I wrote earlier about an experiment in remote healthcare delivery – in which medical students from University of Michigan (under the guidance of an Ann Arbor-based physician Naresh Gunaratnam, MD) are working with an eldercare facility in Sri Lanka (Grace Care Center) to manage health of 40 patients via a virtual, group consult every other week. Here's what we have learnt so far.
1) A group consult is very effective, even emotionally. Unlike the private nature of healthcare delivery we are used to in the developed world, a group consult can actually be highly effective – even emotionally. It helps patients realize that others are sick too and they are not alone. This somehow converts the group consult into a more supportive environment that can possibly increase patient compliance.
To describe a group consult, a patient in Trincomalee, Sri Lanka sits in front of a Skype camera and interacts with doctor(s) in Ann Arbor, Michigan while other patients wait in the background and observe. The doctor(s) go over key vitals, past history, medication list, dosages and examine latest data available and note what's changed from the last time. They 'look' at the patient via Skype, ask questions (some general) with the help of a translator/ medical assistant on the Sri Lanka side. Naresh and the medical students arrive at a consensus on what to do and then they move on to the next patient.
2) One hour together is a lot of time. When a group of doctors go over each case methodically for a group of patients, a lot is actually accomplished. Time is saved. There's a unique sense of transparency – everyone knows what is being done. Unlike in private practice medicine, there's a different sense of teamwork among the doctors and among patients. Learning occurs both ways.
3) The mind can't really tell the difference. Video-conferencing even via a blurry medium (in this case Skype over a moderately paced Internet connection) is very effective. Patients (and doctors) forget after a point that no one is physically in front of each other. The doctors aren't located in a formal office – in fact, some are on their bed, some in their studies, some in their kitchen. This provides a different sense of camaraderie and in a completely different way they are welcoming the patient into a personal space. After the initial minutes, the mind actually forgets what's virtual and what's real. The patient-doctor interaction can get as immersive and real as a video game.
4) Using evidence-based guidelines. Given the age of patients, the focus of care has been hypertension, followed by diabetes. Readings are captured by the assistant every other day and entered into the system. We are now programming enki EHR using JNC 8 guidelines for hypertension to automatically assist during care based on age and medical background of the patient. During the group consult, the guidelines keep care-givers in check based on evidence-based protocols. The evidence-based methodology provides great balance to the human interaction enabled through a virtual consult.
4) Medical devices that aid remote healthcare delivery. From blood pressure monitors to glucometers to stethoscopes, there are now several Internet-enabled devices that can "show" you the data via the Internet.Quantified Care demonstrated via the Smartphone Physical a variety of devices that could be used to conduct a physical exam remotely. The most interesting device out there is Scanadu Scout that captures a variety of physiological readings (several times a day if needed) through a tiny sensor-filled machine. We are exploring the use of remote monitoring devices to further our experiment.
5) Sometimes, virtual is better than the real thing. This past week, Naresh shared the outcome of a short survey done amongst patients. They feel well taken care of and actually prefer 'virtual care' over a real one. While this may be early, it's startling and very telling. But when you think about it, it's actually not surprising. For some patients, the alternative to 'virtual care' is usually bad care or even no care.
Why this is the future and could change how healthcare is delivered
Every few decades, medicine undergoes a big shift – increasing access, life expectancy and so on. We are in the middle of another one – where medicine is becoming a more precise data science. There's increasingly more data available about the human body – from a gross level (# of steps taken in a day to # of hours slept) to a deeper level (DNA testing to microbiome testing). Doctors are increasingly reliant on data (usually via lab tests) before making a medical judgment. Most data is always available via a patient's electronic medical record. The 'Internet of things' is a very real trend (think, the Nest thermostat) and is becoming the 'Internet of medical things' where medical devices are Internet-enabled. Patients continue to live longer through the aid of medications and fixes at the hospital. Fewer and fewer doctors are getting into primary care where the basic flow chart of a patient's diagnosis begins. Cost of care will continue to explode (even in the developing world) as science advances further within specialties and the influences of regulation, administration, insurance companies and law continue to rise.
The trends point to a world where access to quality and reliable healthcare will not just continue to be difficult but may also increase. The trends also point to a possible future where healthcare is accessible from anywhere through a mobile Internet connection with the aid of virtual consults and medical data through an EHR.
Experiment in remote, virtual care – Michigan to Sri Lanka
Last year, I went to Trincomalee on the east coast of Sri Lanka to volunteer at Grace Care Center, a wonderful orphanage and center for elders run by a friend and colleague Naresh Gunaratnam, MD from Ann Arbor, Michigan. I was part of a small group – we were mostly alumni from University of Michigan (from medicine, law, finance and business backgrounds) and one from Texas. Naresh suggested that we experiment with remote healthcare delivery/ management by rolling out enki EHR at the Center.
When an eye-camp was organized, we went through documenting medical charts of children from Grace and nearby orphanages electronically on enki. It was an interesting start because in a very short amount of time, we trained five or six senior kids at the home to start using the EHR. Two kids captured BMI, another documented demographics, and one girl Karthika (in the picture) who was training to become a dental assistant entered all the medical information. Each resident at the home had a paper medical chart documented previously by doctors volunteering/ visiting from University of Michigan. Over 2-3 days, the children and their local teachers entered all the information they had into enki – including medical data of the elders at the center.
A few months later, when I was in Ann Arbor, Naresh called me over one Saturday morning to watch a group Skype call. I saw 3-4 medical students in their respective homes, elders from Grace in Sri Lanka participating in a remote medical consultation under Naresh's supervision. Someone who knew Tamil (the local language) would ask patients questions and translate – about pain, symptoms, behavior and so on. Then there would be a discussion amongst the group with Naresh asking the students probing questions. There were often references to previously documented electronic records of the patients. During an hour+ long call, one patient after the other received medical care remotely from Ann Arbor to Trincomalee. Everything was electronically documented in enki EHR. It was very satisfying to see remote healthcare delivery in action on a software that we created.
This morning I was pleasantly surprised to be copied on an email that the students were mailing each other – it said 'enki training video in Tamil'. One or more of the medical students from UM made a basic video on how to document medical records in enki EHR in the local language, Tamil. Here's that video.
Professor C.K. Prahalad (from whom I learnt anything I needed to learn from a business school – all outside of class) often used to talk about weak signals that would give a glimpse into the future – these usually amplify over time and become dominant trends. I remembered him this morning. On the face of it, the experiment in Sri Lanka may seem like a simple video conference, followed by documentation of patient records, training of medical students and localization of a software program. But it gives a peek into the future of how medical training could be imparted and how healthcare could be delivered – remotely, virtually, without regard to location, perhaps on demand. Electronic health records are really not an end in themselves – they are simply the building blocks that would allow for treating patients anywhere, anytime with the aid of data.

M&A Morgan Stanley
Wells may be poised to settle; Dissecting Morgan Stanley, E-Trade deal
By George Yacik February 21, 2020, 8:02 a.m. EST 6 Min Read
Receiving Wide Coverage ...
Merits of the deal
"There is a lot to like about Morgan Stanley's most ambitious foray beyond Wall Street," the Wall Street Journal says about the firm's plan to buy E-Trade for $13 billion in stock, "but there isn't yet a lot to bank on. E-Trade brings loads of customer cash: $39 billion of deposits in its own bank and $18 billion swept off-balance-sheet. By using those off-balance-sheet deposits to replace wholesale funding at Morgan Stanley, this can help reduce funding costs by $150 million by year two."
In addition, revenue in the wealth management business "isn't nearly as volatile as investment banking and trading, and it can grow steadily in a wider array of market conditions. That latter feature is especially important when Morgan Stanley is being put through the annual Federal Reserve stress tests. E-Trade and Morgan Stanley can also now jointly build out a digital retail-banking offering to compete with the likes of Goldman Sachs's Marcus and fintech upstarts such as Betterment."
"If it goes through, the deal will put Morgan Stanley, which does not have retail bank branches to draw in new asset-management customers, on firmer footing with competitors like Bank of America and Wells Fargo," the New York Times says.
But the Washington Post offers a word of caution. "This is not going to be an easy deal to move through the Federal Reserve," Jaret Seiberg, a policy analyst with Cowen Washington Research Group, said. "We would not be surprised if it spilled into 2021 simply because of the need to address the systemic risk aspects of the transaction."
"While the deal is largely being billed as a wealth management play, it comes with roughly $56 billion of low-cost deposits that will not only help fund Morgan Stanley's core businesses, but also fill some gaps in its lineup of banking products and services," American Banker reports.
The deal "has given a boost to those who have long argued that a wave of banking takeovers is on its way," the Financial Times says.
European CEO shuffle
HSBC "has identified" Jean Pierre Mustier, CEO of UniCredit, Italy's largest bank, "as the leading external contender to become its next chief executive," the FT reports. "The Asia-focused bank has been searching for a chief executive since it ousted John Flint last August. Noel Quinn was subsequently appointed as interim chief executive and the contest to lead the bank is now a two-horse race between him and Mr. Mustier. If Mr. Mustier does win the job it would be the latest in a series of changes at the top of European banks."
HSBC "plans to invest heavily in its newly combined retail and private banking business as it targets internationally minded customers in markets such as China, the United States and Singapore," the unit's CEO, Charlie Nunn, told Reuters. "Nunn, a former McKinsey consultant who joined HSBC in 2011, was one of the biggest winners in the banking group's latest management reshuffle, taking control of a division with $1.4 trillion in clients' assets."
"The plan is to grow in the three major markets where HSBC has scale, namely Britain, Hong Kong and Mexico, focusing on mortgages, wealth and insurance products, and unsecured lending respectively. HSBC will also target wealthier customers who travel or invest often overseas in more than 10 markets such as China where its share is smaller."
Meanwhile, at UBS, Ralph Hamers, "who has never worked for a top-tier securities house or run a wealth manager, has moved into one of the most powerful — and challenging — positions in global finance," the FT says. The former CEO of Dutch bank ING "speaks German, an essential qualification considering this is the first time in UBS's history that it will have both a non-Swiss chairman and chief executive. When he joins the Swiss lender in September, he will be charged with galvanizing revenues and taking an axe to persistently high costs."
Hamers got the UBS job "after building a reputation at ING for successfully moving more customers out of branches and onto their phones and computers," the Journal says. "Under his leadership, the bank also increased revenue as it improved internal systems and the technology behind how it interacted with clients. The moves let it cut costs by shutting hundreds of branches and shedding thousands of jobs in Belgium and the Netherlands."
"The hope that we have is that he will help us get to the next level in digitalizing our business," UBS Chairman Axel Weber said. "The bank wants technology to drive higher profits from its client base and reduce costs," the paper says.
Low-cost alternative
Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase have "agreed to back a new low-cost stock exchange that plans to launch this summer to challenge the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq. The two banks, along with high-speed trading firm Jane Street Capital, led a new round of funding for Members Exchange, or MEMX."
"MEMX was created after years of frustration among brokers and traders with the fees charged by the big U.S. exchange groups, particularly for market-data feeds that many financial firms regard as essential for their business," the Journal says. "MEMX's backers have expressed hope that by charging rock-bottom fees, the new exchange will pressure the incumbents to keep their own fees low."
The two big Wall Street banks "join nine of the biggest participants in American markets, including Morgan Stanley, Fidelity, TD Ameritrade and E-Trade, which are already backing the new arrival," the FT says. "MEMX aims to increase transparency in the industry with what it calls 'simple and fair pricing' on costs for connectivity and market data, while introducing new technology."
Unprepared?
The financial services industry "is in danger of being caught flat-footed" by climate change, which is "creating substantial, unrecognized risk in the financial system as banks are failing to prepare for green regulation and carbon taxes that will have an impact on the companies they lend to," a report from Oliver Wyman to be released Friday says. "We have yet to find a single bank that has developed a way to embed the outcomes of climate-risk scenario analysis ... across the loan book," the report says.
Global slump
The 12 largest global investment banks had combined revenues of $147.5 billion in 2019, "down 4% year-on-year to the lowest level since 2008. They responded by cutting 6% of workers, the sharpest rate of lay-offs since 2012," according to an industry consulting firm.
Wells may settle
Wells Fargo in ready to "settle with federal prosecutors and the Securities and Exchange Commission [charges] over the widespread abuse of customers in its banking, auto lending and mortgage businesses," the paper says and an announcement could come Friday. "The size of the penalties could not immediately be determined, but Wells Fargo has set aside $3.1 billion to pay legal costs related to the sales practice matters."
"Federal prosecutors have also been investigating people connected to the bank, but it was unclear if any criminal charges would be brought against any individuals," the paper adds.
"This continues the decade-long transition of our firm to a more balance-sheet-light business mix, emphasizing more durable sources of revenue." — Morgan Stanley CEO James Gorman, on the firm's proposed acquisition of E-Trade

The minimum income standard as a benchmark of a 'participatory social minimum'
posted on 2017-09-28, 08:44 authored by Abigail DavisAbigail Davis, Donald Hirsch, Matt PadleyMatt Padley
The Minimum Income Standard (MIS), a method for constructing minimum household budgets based on public consensus, helps to operationalise Townsend's concept of a 'participatory social minimum'. Since 2008 MIS has tracked changes in the contents and cost of minimum baskets of goods and services. The article reflects on aspects of this research: the living standard that MIS represents, how consensus is reached and its record of providing consistent results over time. Understanding these features allows policy makers, practitioners and analysts to use the results of MIS appropriately, alongside other research, to benchmark the success of measures to promote adequate incomes.

Pubblimarket2 is behind the creativity of the campaign for the launch of the new product from BPT.
BPT is a European leader in the temperature control market and one of the biggest Italian players in the video-intercom and home automation sector, and was recently acquired by the Came Group. Demonstrating the relationship of close collaboration built up in over ten years, it has once again entrusted to Pubblimarket2 the planning and production of its ADV campaign and of the sales support materials for the launch of "Opale", the latest-generation hands-free video-intercom.
The creativity of the campaign follows the same path already taken by Pubblimarket2 for the launch of Perla, the first line of new-generation video-intercoms from BPT, conveying the elegance of its design and the highly innovative characteristics of the new products from BPT.
The chosen subject, unifying all appliances, is a woman wearing fine jewellery, reflecting the precious nature of Opale. The headline for the campaign, "Fate i preziosi" [a play on words: the expression means "play hard to get", but "prezioso" also means "precious" and "jewel"], echoed in the body copy "Tutte le case si meritano Opale" [all homes deserve Opale], emphasises the innovation and design content brought to any environment by this new product.
Pubblimarket2 handled the creativity of the ADV campaign, online from September 2012 in specialist technical publications, as well as the production of the POP materials and the support materials for installers and salespeople, including floor and table-top display stands, launch leaflets, technical product information sheets and a presentation video.


The SWIP Airport Industrial Property Unit Trust (AIPUT) is pleased to announce a new Grade A warehouse facility of 1,225 sq m (13,190 sq ft) at its prime logistics centre, Radius Park, located at London Heathrow Airport.
Unit 4 will be available to occupy in early 2014 following an extensive refurbishment, and will deliver quality Grade A accommodation in a prime strategic location at the international hub airport. The modern unit offers several key attributes – the building is self-contained with modern office accommodation and a dedicated and secure yard and car parking, and a flexible warehouse with 6.43m eaves and two high-level roller shutter doors.
Radius Park is a vibrant logistics centre of 22,300 sq m (240,000 sq ft), and supports a number of global airport users within its secure environment. These include Virgin Atlantic, Air Canada, dnata, Agility Logistics, Brinks Security and Gate Gourmet.
The park offers excellent connectivity to the airport, coupled with 24/7 access and security, and is within walking distance of Hatton Cross tube/bus terminal. The park also offers quick access to the Heathrow Cargo Centre and Control Posts 21 and 24, in addition to the airport's Terminals, and connects well with Central London.
"We are excited by this opportunity to offer a unit of 1,225 sq m in such a strategic location with the prospect of attracting a new customer to the park. Self-contained units of this quality within a secure estate, underpinned by exceptional connectivity to the airport and its surrounding transport network, are a true rarity at Heathrow. We expect the business and operational efficiencies that our unit offers to be highly attractive to responsible forward thinking global air freight and aviation service providers."
"Our considerable investment to upgrade both the unit and the wider estate should make this a leading location of choice for best-of-breed airport service providers."


Dr Andrew Thomas of the School of Materials, Photon Science Institute, The University of Manchester will be presenting this topic.
Every solid or liquid has a surface. We probably take this for granted, but the surface of a material is particularly special. It is via the surface that the material interacts with its surroundings; so the surface is where corrosion begins, and it is what governs whether a medical implant will be populated by cells, or will prevent bacterial adhesion. In the chemical industry, tonnes of catalyst material are used in a vast array of processes, and in many cases it is the surface which governs their effectiveness – more recently, novel solar energy harvesting devices have been developed which rely on functionalisation of the surface, and which transfer a charge across an interface. This talk looks at what makes the surface of a material different from the bulk, and how research takes into account the nature of surface chemistry and physics to carry out specific functions.

Australia, here we come
Home/Cruise News, Cruise Ships/Australia, here we come
The sea route to Australia will be revived in a couple of months' time when Astor sets out on a 36-night voyage to Perth – arriving in plenty of time for the first Test Match of the winter series.
The 600-passenger ship has been chartered by Cruise & Maritime Voyages for the journey. It will undertake a season of cruises from Fremantle before leaving in April to return to Harwich.
It is visiting Dover today, giving CMV – who also operate Marco Polo and Discovery – an opportunity to show it off to UK media and travel agents.
Fares for that November 5 voyage start from £1,999 (including gratuities), but less conveniently for cricket fans thinking of launching a Barmy Navy to join the Barmy Army of travelling supporters, it will depart from the Italian port of Civitavecchia.
If another company gets its way – and raises the finance – it might not be too long before Astor has some company for voyages Down Under which were once part of the staple diet for P&O and others, taking thousands of "£10 Poms" to start a new life.
Project Orient is hoping to build two ships carrying 1,600 passengers each to ply the route on a regular basis. The plan's backers have recruited a number of UK cruise industry experts, including former Fred Olsen director Nigel Lingard, who forecasts the first ship could be in operation in 2016 if money can be raised by this winter.
"We are currently talking to potential investors in the Middle East," he said, adding that the ships' routes between the UK and Australia could be adapted to call at any home port linked with funding.
Orient's schedule calls for 25-day voyages to Sydney, with fares from around £2,000. The route could be eastbound via the Suez Canal, or westbound via Panama.
The ships will have a variety of restaurants, a lecture theatre and cinema, and a shopping mall with pop-up stores changing each week.
The company says it has chosen to build rather than charter existing vessels because advances in technology have made new ships faster and up to 43 per cent more fuel-efficient.

This is fantastic news, about time someone hopefully is going ahead with this, with the long history of emigration to Australia there are people from all over Europe that would love to visit relatives that settled there, but don't like flying . Pensioners who have resources and time will certainly welcome this, I have been waiting for this for years and cannot wait and will hopefully one of the first to book my trip return to oz from uk.

I present to you the new Crowdfunding Collection #72 – Part 2 of 3, including every tabletop project started between 03.05 and 03.25.
Thanks to the sheer amount of projects started within the past three weeks, I decided to split the collection into three parts. This part does contain roughly half of all the English projects.
Cartel by Mark Diaz Truman is my current favorite crowdfunding project. The powered by the apocalypse game does place the player characters in Durango, Mexiko where they are engulfed in the machinations of the Sinaloa Cartel. I do took interest in the game ever since I heard about if in 2016, read the Ashcan edition as well as am doing my best to follow the information and discussion. So far I am absolutely convinced of the quality, playability of the game as well as of Marks capability to deliver. Two aspects, among many, that do endear the game to me are, that it is written with a profound knowledge of the culture, and that it offers a different take on the organized crime tabletop rpg genre as you are less busy trying to play a gang that advances through the structure but people who got to handle all the mess that cartel involvement (and their own actions) does subject them to. You can check out the project page, the free Quickstart or one of the many actual plays provided. While I do usually not include playing cards projects, I couldn't help but find The Ode To La Catrina really befitting and beautiful, and hence would recommend it alongside Cartel.
If you do prefer another take on crime and gangsters, take a look at Capers. Which sees you assuming the roles of gangsters in the roaring 20s, yet with the twist of superpowers. It looks like a fun settings, offers a neat card based mechanic and I did back as well as recommend it.
Another game I backed is Flying Circus. A PbtA-Game set in a slightly different world during the ~20s to 40s, in which the world wars didn't happen but some apocalypse did. You'll assume the roll of daring, dashing pilots fighting a good fight or so. The main feature of the game, for me, is it's cool air combat mechanic, that did see me convinced.
If you like dog fights and dieselpunk, look no further than Fuel Priest. Which offers airborne action in a dieselpunk setting. The game will give the players agency to design the setting and offers a rather story oriented system. I am intrigued and got the project starred for future notice. Well, and last but not least, Irradiated offers a colorful, post-apocalyptic setting with a Quickstarter available.
Among the supplements you'll find a re-print of the "to cute to be true" (but actually true) Baby Bestiary and in regards of the campaigns I took quite some interest in Emissary Lost for Coriolis, specially with all the translations going on and as I backed the KS for the main projects.
Next to those I felt tempted by the Gametee: Finest Leather Notebooks, alas if I had more money. The Demon Sigil Pins are quite cool as well and I imagine the Glow Battle things might be impressive in Boffer fights (for a Cyberpunk campaign).

Q: collection of value object mapping error I'm trying To map object field in fluent-Nhibernate and C#,the model contain an entity which has a reference field to a ValueObject,
this is the entity class
public class QueryLeaf : Entity
{
    public QueryLeaf()
    {
        FilterDescriptors = new List<FilterDescriptor>();
    }
    public virtual int Id { get; set; }
    public virtual List<FilterDescriptor> FilterDescriptors { get; set; }
}

this is the value object class
[Serializable]
public class FilterDescriptor : ValueObject
{
    public FilterOperator FilterOperator { get; set; }//this is an enum value
    public object Value { get; set; }
}

and this is the mapping class
public sealed class QueryLeafMap : ClassMap<QueryLeaf>
{
    public QueryLeafMap()
    {
        Id(x => x.Id);
        HasMany(x => x.FilterDescriptors).Component(com =>
        {
            com.Map(y => y.FilterOperator);
            com.Map(y => y.Value);
        });
    }
}

When running the above code the compiler stops on global.asax page and give me this error

collection element mapping has wrong number of columns
  QueryLeaf.FilterDescriptors type: component[FilterOperator,Value]

A: In general we can map Reference types with .References() and Value types with a .Map(). The object is for sure reference type, and is causing this kind of problem.
In fact, we cannot map object, it is too genaral. We should create some custom type (class) or map a general value to its serialized or, if possible, to string value.
So this small change would make the above code working:
[Serializable]
public class FilterDescriptor : ValueObject
{
    public FilterOperator FilterOperator { get; set; }//this is an enum value
    // cannot map object
    // public object Value { get; set; }
    public string StringValue { get; set; }
    // and we can do some magic later
    public object Value { get { ... use the StringValue } ... }
}

And because we used different name this should be the new mapping
HasMany(x => x.FilterDescriptors).Component(com =>
{
    com.Map(y => y.FilterOperator);
    //com.Map(y => y.Value);
    com.Map(y => y.StringValue);
});

I Dream Of Wires
Allen Ravenstine "Electron Music/Shore Leave" (2CD)
Artist: Allen Ravenstine
Title: Electron Music / Shore Leave
Label / CAT#: Waveshaper Media / wsm05.6
Format: 2CD
Originally released November 2020 as two separate CD-EPs. Now available as a 2CD digipack.
ALSO available on vinyl LP (click here to purchase vinyl), and digital download/stream (click here to purchase from Waveshaper Media on Bandcamp, or visit your favourite audio download store - we're available on all major digital platforms).
Waveshaper Media is thrilled to present Electron Music/Shore Leave, a new LP by former Pere Ubu synthesist and electronic music trailblazer, Allen Ravenstine. The LP is comprised of two EPs (1 per vinyl side), the first two parts in Raventine's new Tyranny of Fiction series. Waveshaper Media first came into contact with Ravenstine when we interviewed him in 2012 for our modular synthesizer documentary I Dream Of Wires.
For those in the know, Allen Ravenstine has been one of the most creative synthesizer players of the past forty-plus years. Ravenstine started out in the mid-1970s experimenting in his Cleveland apartment with an analogue EML 200 synthesizer, eventually creating a piece in 1975 that became known as Terminal Drive. While he had no intention of releasing his compositions, word got out about the kind of sounds he was experimenting with, which led to an invitation to join pioneering "avant garage" group Pere Ubu for the recording of the group's first 45, "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo." He soon joined Pere Ubu full-time, bringing to the band's sound unpredictable textures, effects, bleeps, squalls, pulsating washes of sound—whatever he felt could enhance the soundscape of the band's performances and recordings.
By the early 1990s, Ravenstine had grown sick of the road, band infighting and the music industry in general. Deciding a change was needed, he opted to forego music altogether, making his living as an airplane pilot. His music career remained in limbo until 2012, when an interview for the I Dream Of Wires documentary, alongside Robert Wheeler who had succeeded him as Pere Ubu's synthesist, turned into a recording session for the duo, leading to a series of collaborative releases. As well as having his 1975 Terminal Drive recordings released to great acclaim in 2017, Ravenstine has been prolific in recent years, with Electron Music/Shore Leave now marking his 3rd solo full-length.
Electron Music/Shore Leave brings together ten of the prodigious composer's most recent lyrical and abstract compositions collectively comprised of the sounds of analogue and digital synthesizers, traditional acoustic instruments and the sampled sounds of birds, dogs and other artifacts of nature. Working prodigiously on a daily basis, over the past two years Ravenstine has amassed a large number of atmospheric recordings that he has intuitively aggregated into groups of five pieces each. The first five recordings, subtitled Electron Music, are found on Side A of this LP while the second five, Shore Leave, comprise Side B.
Ravenstine played the majority of the sampled instruments on these recordings as well as piano, Moog theremin, a Roland Aerophone and a bevy of synthesizers including a Korg MS20, EML 200, and a Doepfer Dark Energy. Recording virtually over the internet due to the covid pandemic, collaborators from around the world contributed Ondes Martenot, prepared piano, transverse flute, trumpet, saxophone, double bass and percussion. The result is a heady, disparate brew of compositions that range from abstract to lyrical, in the process conjuring up a bricolage of ambient soundtracks, jazzy miniatures, space age exploration, world music, Erik Satie-like studies and the ghost of Harry Partch. As a collection Electron Music/Shore Leave is a stunningly mature work that provides new and surprising sonic rewards with each and every listen.
The album contains 10 songs on vinyl LP - limited to 300 copies, with 100 on orange-vinyl, and 200 on standard-black. The recordings are also available digitally, as well as on CD, coming as a 2CD digipack.

The Best Robinhood Options Trade Today Could Pop 100% Higher
By Money Morning Staff Reports, Money Morning • July 1, 2020
Stocks just had their best quarter since 1987, but the market's volatility is likely to remain high. Uncertainty still prevails as some states see reductions in new COVID-19 cases while others see new infections soar.
The good news is that there's a way to profit from this uncertainty using options. And today we're showing you an options trade easy enough to do on a commission-free platform like Robinhood or WeBull.
While stocks have recovered from the COVID-19 crash in March, they've been treading water since their June 8 high, and gold has quietly broken out to the upside. It's going to go higher, too. Much higher.
The 5 Best Trades to Make: A whipsaw market is a trader's paradise – and our top trading experts just gave us the best trades to make right now. Click here to get them for free…
Money Morning Quantitative Specialist Chris Johnson believes that the time is finally right to look at gold and gold stocks because the trend is proving to be long-term.
Gold typically performs well during times of uncertainty or market downturns. But that's not what happened this spring. Recall that when the stock market tanked in February and March, gold fell with it. Apparently, investors were scrambling to raise cash from every place they could.
But that changed in a hurry. As soon as the stock market found its bottom, so did gold, and it rallied nicely for a few weeks. Then in mid-April, gold basically got stuck. It traded sideways between $1,675 and about $1,775 per ounce, frustrating bulls and bears alike.
That is, until last week, when it moved higher from that range. It was its highest price since 2012, but more importantly, according to Chris, it was a technical breakout that could have legs.
Gold stocks are also breaking out to the upside. Since peaking in May, the gold sector had been falling in what turned out to be what charting enthusiasts call a bullish flag pattern. It gets its name from its appearance of a flag flying on a flagpole. But no matter what fancy names we use, it tells us that the correction in the sector is over and the rising trend is back in force.
And by using an options trade – one any trader can do on Robinhood – we can ride this trend to big-time profits.
According to Chris' price target, this trade could double your money by summer's end, and it has the potential for ever-higher gains if uncertainty rises again…
The Best Options Trade to Make on Robinhood Now
Chris sees one gold stock in particular set up to be a prime trading opportunity. It checks plenty of his technical boxes, too, such as trading above major moving averages. And the fundamentals look better with the recent announcement that the company will be expanding mining territory in Canada and Greece. It plans to dig deeper, minimalize cost, and ramp up production through 2020 and beyond.
He is looking for a 30% move higher by the end of this summer. Keep in mind that is only about two months from now, so this one should move quickly.
The stock is Eldorado Gold Corp. (NYSE: EGO), which has operations, ongoing development projects, and exploration in Turkey, Canada, Greece, Brazil, Romania, and Serbia. Eldorado stock has a similar pattern to the rest of the gold mining sector. It eased lower since April as gold traded sideways, but last week, it popped higher in a breakout. It trades for $9.48 today, and that puts it right below a threshold that should spark more buying. Chris says that the $10 level is where demand for the stock tends to pick up.
He expects a 30% jump in the share price once that technical indicator is hit, and that should be by the end of the summer.
You can own the stock and grab that gain, but we like use options to really kick things up a notch.
Chris likes the EGO Jan. 15, 2021 $10 calls (EGO210115C00010000) using a limit order of $1.90. That could easily double your money before Labor Day.

The Asteroid Petrol was launched to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of the product in 2015 and has a dichroic paint finish that flips colour from surface to surface as you alter your viewing angle. The design was originally created by Koray Ozgen as a vase that could stand on different surfaces and later adapted very skillfully into a lighting concept by the Ozgen studio and is also available in glass as a pendant or table light.
The Designer: Koray Ozgen is a Turkish born designer based in Paris. Holding a BA degree in Industrial Design and MFA in Graphic Design, he founded his cross-disciplinary studio in Paris following his post-diploma internship at ENSCI (Ecole Nationale Supérieure de Création Industrielle). Concentrating in space, object and visual design as well as research, his studio has supplied solutions for companies and institutions such as Centre Pompidou, Knoll International France, City of Paris, Skultuna, Sisecam/NudeGlass, GarantiBank, KayraWines/Diageo.
The Brand: Innermost's rebellious approach to lighting and furniture comes from a shared anarchic pursuit of design freedom, a belief that you have to embrace the absurd in order to innovate. So innermost has innovation and a little absurdity at it's core; working with designers from all corners of the globe to create beautifully unique products of the absolute highest quality, since 1999.

Q: Too many arguments in for In both for statements, I am getting the following error:
./count_files.sh: line 21: [: too many arguments
./count_files.sh: line 16: [: too many arguments.

Can anyone help me ?
#!/bin/bash

files=($(find /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-34/include/ -type f -name '[aeiou][a-z0-9]*.h'))
count=0

headerfiles=($(find /usr/src/linux-headers-3.13.0-34/include/ -type f -name '[_a-zA-Z0-9]*.h' | grep -v "/linux/"))

for file in "${files[@]}"
do
    if ! [ grep -Fxq "linux/err.h" $file ];
    then
        localcount=0
        for header in "${headerfiles[@]}"
        do
            if [ grep -Fxq $header $file ];
            then
                localcount=$((localcount+1))
                if [ $localcount -eq 3 ];
                then
                    count=$(($count+1))
                    break
                fi
            fi
        done
        localcount=0
    fi
done

echo $count

A: One of the problem lines is:
if ! [ grep -Fxq "linux/err.h" $file ];

The semicolon at the end is unnecessary unless the then is on the same line; it is, however, harmless.
It looks as though you want to execute the grep command and check whether it produces any output.  However, you've simply provided the test (aka [) command with four string arguments (plus the closing ] for 5 in total), the second of which is not one of the options recognized by test.
You might have meant to use this:
if ! [ -n "$(grep -Fxq "linux/err.h" "$file")" ]

(unless you meant -z instead of -n; the negations are confusing me).  But if you're interested in whether grep found anything, you can simply test the exit status of grep:
if grep -Fxq "linux/err.h" "$file"

Hmmm...the -q is 'quiet' mode; so in fact the string test won't work since grep produces no output.  You want the direct test of the exit status, possibly preceded by the ! logical not operator.

A: You shouldn't use square brackets around the grep.
In shell scripts square brackets are not used for grouping, [ is a command in its own right (an alias for test), and it is the [ command that is complaining that you've given it too many arguments.
Just make the call without brackets
if ! grep ....

A: Change the fors to whiles with reads:
...
echo "${files}" | while read file ; do
    ...
    echo "${headerfiles}" | while read header ; do
        ...
    done
    ...
done

The Bobby Bones Show girl group comprised of Amy, Morgan2, and Hillary came together on the show to talk about the cost of engagement rings. A new study shows that people should be spending about 3 months worth of pay to purchase an engagement ring, but it's recently decreased to people only spending about 2 weeks worth of pay.
The girls all discussed their opinions on the topic voicing that it wasn't really the focus of the size of the ring, but more the time and planning that goes into getting it. People online were debating that the thing doesn't matter at all. However, Bobby also jumped in to voice his opinion sharing that he thinks engagement rings are a big deal and worth putting money into.
Listen below to the whole discussion!
