Read Pete's article at My Finances entitled: Forward Guidance: How will it affect savers and investors?
Read the Money Observer article Pete wrote on: How to Protect Your Wealth From Inflation.
Although CPI only went up 2.8% in July, total prices have gone up 10% in last 3 years. Some of the biggest rises have been in government regulated prices such as utilities, transport, taxation and education. As consumers have been forced to spend more in these areas, they have had to cut back on basic food and drink and eating out. In addition, unnecessary spending on household upkeep and recreation have been reduced by many.
Statistical note: The above table was compiled from the latest ONS July2013 Consumer Inflation report and shows the change in CPI price index over the last 3 years. The scatter chart uses this data together with the change in the annual CPI weights over the last three years published in that report (which are derived from actual consumer spending).
Has Carney played his Knockout Joker?
Read Pete's blog post at Save our Savers.
Read Pete's article on This is Money about the new Bank of England monetary regime.
Mark Carney, today announced a new regime at the Bank of England. He is going to keep their ultra-loose monetary policy until it is 'knocked out' by inflation projections going up. Instead of having to keep to a 2% inflation target every month, the target has now effectively moved to 2.5%. However of greater importance is what that new 2.5% target is set on.
It is based on the Bank's own projections of what inflation is going to be like in two years (or thereabouts). The official logic behind this being that inflation shocks such oil price rises can distort the short term figures. But there is a big problem with using Monetary Policy Committee's own estimate for future inflation. They are rubbish at it and mysteriously their future two projections often seem to be around 2% i.e. their old target.
Moreover Carney almost admitted to it in the press conference today when he let slip in another question that: "if you look at the inflation report, for what its worth.." The chart below from book (chapter 11), shows exactly how inaccurate those projections have been.
As you can see from the graph, the Bank of England projections are always lower than the final outcome – to the tune of about 1-2% (and more recently following QE).
Therefore by adopting the new knocked out rule, the Bank of England is now going to ignore inflation of not just 2.5% but more like 4% (by the time you add in the fact their projections always under-estimate it). Moreover that is CPI inflation.
The old RPI inflation, which in my view more accurately reflects our true inflation rate, can be 1% higher than CPI due to formula effects. Therefore this new target is effectively a 5% inflation target for the Bank.
If inflation averages that level, what implications does this have for savers? Mark Carney is expecting this policy will remain in place for least 3 years. Over that time, if average savings rates remain around 1%, the cumulative loss of wealth to UK savers would be over 13% (after tax) i.e. a loss of one seventh of the purchasing power of their money.
Of concern to me the complete lack of empathy that Mark Carney showed to the effects of his policy. In the press conference afterwards, he was challenged by Jeremy Warner of the Telegraph over the impact of this low interest rate policy. Nowhere in his answer did he show any acknowledgement that it might be a problem for savers.

Gary Johnson Wants to Make Weed Legal. Oh, and He Also Wants to Be President
The Libertarians want your vote.
(NICHOLAS KAMM/AFP/Getty Images)
After last weekend's nominating convention, the Libertarian party officially has their ticket. Former Republican governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson, whom GQ profiled back in 2011, will be their presidential nominee and his running mate will be former Republican governor of Massachusetts William Weld. And since they survived the madness of that nominating convention to become their party's standard bearers, it was time to do the media rounds this week and Gary Johnson came out with his guns (and pipes) blazing. That's right. It's hardly a surprise, but Gary Johnson wants to make weed legal. Here's a snippet from his recent interview with CBS News.
"I've always viewed the legalization of marijuana as making the world a better place," Johnson told CBSN in an interview Wednesday.
On recreational use, the Libertarian candidate argued that "legalizing marijuana will lead to less overall substance abuse because people are going to find it a safer alternative than everything else out there, starting with alcohol.
This is a long-held belief of Johnson's but now that he's officially a nominee for the presidency, we might begin hearing more about it. Especially if his poll numbers continue to climb. In a Fox News Poll last week, Johnson received 10% of the support between he, Trump, and Clinton. If he can get that number up to 15% in five national polls, then Gary will get to be in the debates alongside The Donald and Hillary.
Would that make a difference? Could an insurgent Johnson campaign play spoiler? Maybe. But the question is, who would he be more likely to spoil? He's a social liberal and a fiscal conservative. Maybe he could pick up some members of the GOP who grow tired of Trump's disgusting Trump-ness, but the Christian right is never going to embrace him. And as for the disenfranchised Bernie supporters? Maybe. But only if they're pretty uninformed. Bernie's brand of socialism and Johnson's fiscal views are almost antonyms. Of course, there is a certain weed-smelling haze around many of the supporters of both candidates, and Bernie Bros and Libertarian dudes do seem to have a lot of the same personality traits. So who knows? I, for one, would welcome a legitimate third party insurgency. Because why the hell not? There haven't been enough plot twists in this election season.

A new method to detect false data injection (FDI) attacks
by Ingrid Fadelli , Tech Xplore
The architecture of the stacked RNN. Credit: Deng & Sun.
Researchers at Beijing Institute of Technology (BIT) have recently developed a new method to detect false data injection (FDI) attacks on critical infrastructure such as power grids. Their solution, outlined in a paper presented at the 44th Annual Conference of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society, uses a recurrent neural network (RNN) with several hidden layers, which is harder for FDI attacks to fool.
Cyber attacks on cyber physical systems (CPSs), particularly on infrastructure such as power grids, can cause significant chaos and disturbance for the people living in affected areas. For instance, in December 2015, the hack of a power grid in Ukraine affected over 230,000 people, leaving them without electricity for several hours.
While there are several existing methods to prevent cyber attacks, one particular type of attack, called false data injection (FDI), can bypass all conventional surveillance and security techniques. When successful, FDI attacks allow the attacker to compromise measurements from grid sensors, hindering a power grid's normal functioning and sometimes even damaging devices connected to it.
In recent years, researchers have been trying to develop effective tools to detect FDI attacks, to prevent them from causing serious infrastructural disruptions. Many of these recently developed methods employ machine learning techniques, such as supervised and semi-supervised learning algorithms.
Despite the promising results achieved by some of these approaches, most of them have a variety of flaws and limitations. For instance, some of these algorithms are prone to vulnerabilities exploited by variants of FDI attacks, while others cannot be effectively trained due to the limited amount of data related to real-world compromised measurements.
To address the limitations of existing tools for FDI detection, Qingyu Deng and Jian Sun, two researchers at BIT, developed a new method that uses a recurrent neural network (RNN) with several hidden layers. At the top of these hidden layers, the RNN has a fully-connected layer with a linear activation function.
Recent studies have found that RNNs can be particularly effective for time-series forecasting and anomaly detection, thus they could help to detect cyber-attacks. These prior findings are what encouraged Deng and Sun to develop an RNN that can detect FDI attacks.
"In this paper, we exploited the strong ability of recurrent neural networks (RNNs) on time-series prediction to recognize the potential compromised measurements," Deng and Sun wrote in their paper.
The RNN proposed by the researchers does not require labelled data to function and this makes it easier to apply in real-world scenarios. In an evaluation on the IEEE-14 bus test system, it attained remarkable results, effectively identifying compromised measurements with a small false alarm rate (FAR).
In the future, the RNN developed by Deng and Sun could help to detect FDI attacks on power grids and other critical infrastructure, preventing resulting issues, commotion and inconvenience. Further research could help to further develop the system, so it can achieve higher precision rates and a lower FAR.

Q: Flex: ItemEditor losing focus! Here's an image of what my problem is:
I am using a combo-box as a Datagrid ItemEditor (Not just Renderer, my Renderer is a Label, double clicking on a cell makes the combo-box visible, as is the case with all item editors)
Now, selecting one of the entries in the combo-box is no problem. But my problem is only when i select the "Fruit" , which in turn pops open another layer called "Select Fruit" dialog
Questions:
How do i keep item editor, while the focus is on the layer; right now as soon as i click on the fruit , my handler popsup the "Select Fruit" dialog and the focus is on the layer. Once the focus goes out of the editor, the ItemEditor goes away and ItemRenderer label comes back.
I want to keep the ItemEditor alive! where do I hook up interms of events like begin/end ItemEdit etc?

A: You can keep your itemEditor alive by listening for DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_END. Then you have a lot more control to do what you want. Some FYI from my blog:
DataGridEvent.ITEM_EDIT_END
- Dispatched when focus is removed from the cell
- List-based control's default event listener will
1) use the .editorDataFrield property to deterine the property of the item editor to store the edited data; In a default TextInput control's item editor, the "text" property would contain the new data.
2) Invoke destoryItemEditor() depending on the reason of the event

*

*You can interrupt the default List-based control's default event listener by using event.preventDefault() to

a) Modify the data returned from the item editor
b) Examine/Validate the data entered into the item editor; If the data is incorrect, you can halt Flex passing the data back from the item editor into the list-based control
http://knowledge.lapasa.net/?p=153

A: Try losing focus of your ItemEditor. Goto Combo Box Change Listener
protected function comboBox_changeHandler(event:ListEvent):void
{
// set focus out event on datagrid. Its like clicking outside the datagrid
event.target.parent.parent.parent.dispatchEvent(new FocusEvent(FocusEvent.FOCUS_OUT);

Brazil needed two injury-time goals to defeat a dogged Costa Rica on Friday as Philippe Coutinho and Neymar scored to put the five-time World Cup winners back on track for the last 16.
The Brazilians looked to be heading for a second frustrating draw in a row before Barcelona forward Coutinho poked the ball through Costa Rica goalkeeper Keylor Navas' legs in the 91st minute in St Petersburg.
Neymar, who had a penalty award ruled out by referee Bjorn Kuipers after he consulted the Video Assistant Referee, volleyed in the second goal seven minutes into injury time. It was the latest strike in World Cup history.
The world's most expensive player slumped to his knees in tears at the end and later posted a message on Twitter and Instagram hitting back at criticism of his emotional reaction.
"Not everyone knows what I went through to get here. Even parrots can talk, but walking the walk... not everyone does it. I cried out of happiness, overcoming, grit and desire to win," Neymar said.
It was only Neymar's fourth competitive match since breaking a bone playing for Paris Saint-Germain in February.
In stark contrast to Brazil's relief, Argentina and the under-performing Lionel Messi were in disarray following their shambolic 3-0 defeat to Croatia on Thursday.
The Argentina management was forced to deny stories that the players wanted coach Jorge Sampaoli sacked before their final group game against Nigeria -- they said the claims were "absolutely false".
Adding to the acrimony, several Spanish media outlets reported on an audio recording of former Argentina international Diego Simeone in which he lambasts the "anarchy" in the team and says he would choose Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo over Messi, if he had the choice.
"Messi is very good, but it is clear that he is very good because he is surrounded by extraordinary players (at Barcelona)," said Simeone, who now manages Atletico Madrid.
"The question I ask is 'if you have to choose between Messi and Ronaldo in a normal team, who would you choose?'"
Argentina's uphill battle to qualify for the knockout phase may however have been aided by Nigeria's 2-0 win over Iceland on Friday that leaves Group D intriguingly poised.
A defeat would have put the Super Eagles out of contention, but Ahmed Musa struck twice to become the first Nigerian player to score at two World Cups and give his country just their second win in 14 games at World Cup finals.
That sets up a showdown between Nigeria and Argentina in Saint Petersburg on Tuesday. If Argentina win they still have a chance of finishing second behind the already-qualified Croatia and reaching the knockout stage.
In Friday's late game, Switzerland came from behind to beat Serbia 2-1 thanks to Xherdan Shaqiri's 90th minute long-range thunderbolt to move level with Brazil on four points in Group E.
It was a poignant victory for Shaqiri and fellow Swiss goalscorer Granit Xhaka, who along with team-mate Valon Belrami were booed relentlessly by Serbia's fans because they have roots in Kosovo, a former province of Serbia whose declaration of independence Belgrade refuses to recognise.
Both Shaqiri and Xhaka celebrated their goals by hooking their thumbs and hands together in a 'double-eagle' celebration, a gesture representing Kosovo's flag.
"You can see what I did, it was just emotion," he said.
A win in Kaliningrad would have guaranteed Serbia a place in the knockout stage for the first time since becoming an independent nation, regardless of their result against Brazil in the last group game.
Aleksandar Mitrovic gave Serbia the perfect start after five minutes, but the Swiss gradually worked their work back into the game in rainy Kaliningrad.
The Swiss now face Costa Rica on Wednesday when a draw would be enough to send them into the knockout stage. Serbia face a more daunting challenge against Brazil.

Q: Getting error "cannot convert the series to " when trying to convert Unix timestamp (int) to datetime I have a table called 'Generic' with a date column called 'createdDate' with values as Unix timestamp. The datatype of the Unix timestamp values are currently int64.
I would like to create another column in the dataframe called 'createdDate2' which would contain the Unix dates in a datetime format (e.g. YY/MM/DD)
I am running the following code:
import datetime
generic['createdDate2'] = datetime.datetime.fromtimestamp(generic.createdDate).strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')

However, I keep getting the following error:
cannot convert the series to <class 'int'>

Any idea what I am doing wrong?
Thanks a lot!

A: You give the entire dataframe to the function that only needs to take a single integer, so you get an error. You can use the code below.
generic['createdDate2']=pd.to_datetime(generic['createdDate'], unit='s')

Gwen Stefani Revisits Her Most Iconic Looks In New Video For 'Let Me Reintroduce Myself' — Watch
Happy New Year from Gwen Stefani! She rang in 2021 with an epic throwback through all of her most iconic eras in this new music video for 'Let Me Reintroduce Myself'.
On the day that many are looking to a future full of untapped potential (or sleeping off hangovers from the night before), Gwen Stefani took a trip into the past with her new music video for "Let Me Reintroduce Myself." In the visual, released on Jan. 1, 2021, Gwen, 50, revisits some of her most iconic looks, including outfits from her No Doubt days, the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards and more.
Gwen first gave fans a hint that something "fun" was "coming your way" on Dec. 28. She shared a closeup of her waist, a "BANANAS" belt-buckle in full view. It was a direct reference to her "Hollaback Girl" song ("Let me hear you say, this sh-t is bananas / B-A-N-A-N-A-S") that she also calls back on "Let Me Reintroduce Myself" ("Homegrown ingredients, that's what made you mess with me / In the first place, 'cause you know I'm like organic / And it tastes great, I already gave you bananas").
"I honestly … never really was planning to do new music," she said when speaking with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, shortly after she released the song. "I mean, I fantasized about it, but I was also like… I don't know. I always think about artists that I loved growing up, and I think I just want to listen to the songs that I like that they did. And that's nostalgic for me. I don't really go seek new music from them. So, something about that made me feel like, why should I do it? I love writing songs. So then I was like, someone had sent me a song that I didn't know they wrote it for me. I thought that they… I never get songs sent to me, just so you know."
"I got sent a song and I actually liked it. And I was like, 'I love this song,'" continued Gwen. "I was like, 'Shoot. I'll just go record it, and just see how it sounds.' And they were like, 'No, they wrote it for you.' …So, then I was like, 'I want to write with them.' So, I wrote a song with them right before quarantine, the song called 'Cry Happy.' …So then we all went into lockdown [during which] I got to go in and record a song. And that was just a flame to the fire. I just was like, 'I don't even care if nobody hears this, I got to write some songs.' So it was almost like I didn't have anything to say. I didn't think until I started writing."
As for a possible new albumin 2021?" Even though the record definitely… I don't know. I mean, I say, 'The record,' meaning I have probably 20 songs," she told Zane. "And I never expected to be writing, but it was in there. And it's been really, really incredible. I mean, there's just nothing else that I do in my life, and I have done so many things, that makes me feel ignited the way a new song makes me feel."

Ben Jealous, Seventh Congressional District
October 21, 2019 David Lublin
Ben Jealous had invited speculation that he'd run for mayor of Baltimore but pulled out as the race picked up. In the wake of Rep. Elijah Cummings's sad passing, history has repeated itself at a faster pace around the open seat:
Jealous said in a text that his attention is "on running the kids to baseball and rowing practices, keeping door open to run for governor."
Weird how the kids don't need to attend practice in gubernatorial election years. Of course, it's no stranger than the Democrat who got blown away with just 43.5% in a stellar Democratic year thinking that he should run again. That's a lower share than received by any Democratic nominee in the last 50 years.
Regardless, Jealous would have been an odd successor to Cummings. While Jealous is a Juul consultant , Cummings broke ground in the fight against big tobacco:
In the Maryland House of Delegates, where Mr. Cummings served from 1983 to 1996, he championed a ban on alcohol and tobacco ads on inner-city billboards in Baltimore — the first prohibition of its kind in a major U.S. city.
The 1980s were the glory days when you could still smoke on airplanes and Joe Camel marketed smoking as cool to kids. Ben Jealous's client, Juul, has been accused of similarly targeting teenagers.
The sales campaigns for Juuls — now hugely popular with teenagers across the nation — are at the heart of a federal investigation into whether the company intentionally marketed its devices to youth. The attorney general of Massachusetts, also investigating the company, contends that Juul has been luring teenagers to try the product and has introduced many to nicotine.
"From our perspective, this is not about getting adults to stop smoking," the Massachusetts attorney general, Maura Healey, said in an interview. "This is about getting kids to start vaping, and make money and have them as customers for life."
Elijah Cummings took the battle for kids against big tobacco to Annapolis. "Progressive" Ben Jealous just took the money.

Q: How to make a AJAX website crawlable? The following website is a good example of a crawlable AJAX website (HTML5 + CSS3 + AJAX) using history.pushState():
http://html5.gingerhost.com/
(for background see https://moz.com/blog/create-crawlable-link-friendly-ajax-websites-using-pushstate)
However, this website assumes that the dynamic content can be rendered server side at page load. For example, if you land directly on http://html5.gingerhost.com/seattle, the content related to Seattle is not loaded through AJAX, it's already in the page.
Let's assume that the content can only be loaded through AJAX calls. How can I make such a website crawlable ?
My specific goal is to make this website crawlable:
http://code-exercises.com/programming/
At the moment, all programming exercises are loaded through AJAX. I would like to have programming/easy/exercise-number-one.
My website is served by an NGINX instance that serves static content and forwards all AJAX request to a Tomcat instance.

A: Option 1: The Easy One, use prerender.io
Option 2: in your app build process include a Phantom.js to make static versions of your pages
Option 3: if you use Angular, you can migrate to angular2, or other framework with server-side rendering

A: Take a look at how to make a angular app crawlable.
Basically, you will have to have a cached version of the page with the data loaded that will be served to web crawlers.
https://prerender.io/ this is an example of it.

Q: Is Stack Overflow a Wikipedia done right? I discovered Stack Overflow from some months, now, as a reader, and since last week as a member.
But I was deeply involved in the growing of Wikipedia between 2003 and 2008, and what I saw didn't always made me happy.
I get the impression that the process in Stack Overflow is very similar to the one in Wikipedia, but with some lessons understood in the meanwhile:

*

*Not all contributors have the same worth, both in knowledge and motivations. Let's go the end of the community-thought and let the community rate its own members, by rating their contributions

*Avoid the appearance of cliques by giving the rights progressively to the members

I think that now, Wikipedia could have some things to learn from Stack Overflow.
Has anybody some thoughts about this?

A: Interesting to hear this from somebody somewhat involved in Wikipedia. I must admit that I've been thinking about contributing to WP a few times, but was always put off by the strong feeling of being an outsider to a rather closed group, and what felt to me like both a complicated user interface and hierarchy - I have had a very hard time really understanding how things work there (and I'm a software developer!)
It is certainly true that the SO community feels more transparent and open than the lot of Wikipedia's editors. I would welcome Stack Overflow-y elements on WP, although I can think of a number of valid counter-arguments - the reputation system is great and a strong motivator, but it puts more emphasis on individuals than an encyclopedia might want.
Also, the size of the community on Wikipedia is still orders of magnitude larger than anything in the Stack Exchange network. Whether SO's community system will work without changes for those kinds of numbers is yet to be determined (although it's well possible that it will).

A: Great question! I see three big differences:
Game dynamics which rewards people for quick responses and great questions / answers (levelling up) and collectible badges (even though they are often derided, I think they have a lot of impact). This is great! It helps to keep people addicted!
Not open source this is a shame because I'd love to see this used in organisations, whether for profit businesses or not for profits.
Not article based I think this also leads to this containing different information. If you want to read about one topic in detail, check out Wikipedia. If you have one specific question, this format works extremely well.

A: Another big difference is that Stack Overflow, Super User, Server Fault, etc are specifically how to sites. Wikipedia is not a how to.

A: Stack Overflow only deals with programming, whereas Wikipedia often has to be able to deal with very controversial issues.
I'd say that Stack Overflow's automated reputation system is easier to game than Wikipedia's process of vetting (such as Wikipedia: Requests for adminship), but that SO can get away with a simpler process because there's less motive to abuse SO than to abuse Wikipedia.

A: While I think Wikipedia could learn some things from this healthy Q&A ecosystem, I don't think they're the same thing.
It's much easier to get people answer questions in an unbiased way with rep, than it is to get people to speak on religion, political figures, and history in an unbiased way.  In short, it's apples and oranges.
Look at the About page. Stack Overflow is a little bit wiki, and a lot of other things. This system works for what we do here; I'm not sure everything here applies to a pure wiki.
