Srisailam
An adorable town situated in the Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh, Srisailam is the kind of tourist destination which any adventure buff should explore. Known for its twelve Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva, this town is situated at the banks of mighty River Krishna.
Thus, people who are spiritually inclined are bound to love Srisailam. To start with, you can explore and seek the blessings of Lord Shiva by visiting places like Sikhareshwara and Mallikarjuna Swamy temple.
History of Srisailam
Srisailam plays a very dominant role in our culture and religious prominence. It is intriguing to know that the history of this place dates back to around 30,000- 40,000 years ago. Can you imagine? Furthermore, the epigraphical evidence also reveals that it was the "Satavahanas" people themselves who were the first empire builders in this Geographical stretch of Southern India.
Legends Associated With Srisailam
The Story of Parvatha
Parvatha was the son of Silada Maharishi and is said to have performed extreme penance to impress the Adiyogi, Lord Shiva. It is said that through his pure devotion, he was able to please him and even made him agree to live in his own body somehow. How could a Godlike being like Lord Shiva reside in the body of a human?
It was an unusual request but Parvatha also prayed that all the Devthas and the sacred waters of all the Theerthas permanently remain on his top. And all devotees who come to him seeking liberation are granted with nothing less than Moksha.
But Lord Shiva was quite impressed with him and thus granted him with all his wishes. Suddenly, Parvatha found himself turned into a giant hill. This was the only way where anybody could reside upon him and devotees could come to offer their penance.
And as promised, after Parvatha had become a mountain, Lord Shiva lived upon him as Sri Parvatha Swamy and since then this place is known as Srisailam.
The Story of Vasumathi
According to another legend, there was a girl named Vasumathi who was the daughter of a rishi and had done extreme penance on this hill to impress Lord Brahama. When finally, after a lot of sadhana and Tapasya, he did show up, Vasumathi asked him to grant her with the name "Sri" which was then also associated with the name of the hill Srisailam. It is considered that since then, this place is known as Srisailam.
Major Attractions in and Around Srisailam

From George Washington to Major General Nathanael Greene, 8 November 1776
To Major General Nathanael Greene
Head Quarters [White Plains] Novr 8. 1776
The late passage of the 3 Vessells up the North River (which we have just received Advice of) is so plain a proof of the inefficacy of all the Obstructions we have thrown into it that I cannot but think it will fully justify a Change in the Disposition which has been made. If we cannot prevent Vessells passing up, and the Enemy are possessed of the surrounding Country, what valuable purpose can it answer to attempt to hold a post from which the expected Benefit cannot be had—I am therefore inclined to think it will not be prudent to hazard the Men & Stores at Mount Washington, but as you are on the Spot, leave it to you to give such Orders as to evacuating Mount Washington as you judge best, and so far revoking the Order given Colo. Magaw to defend it to the last.1 The best Accounts obtained from the Enemy assure us of a considerable movement among their Boats last evening, and so far as can be collected from the various sources2 of Intelligence they must design a Penetration into Jersey, & fall down upon your Post—You will therefore immediately have all the Stores &c. removed, which you do not deem necessary for your defence, and as the Enemy have drawn great relief from the Forage and Provisions they have found in the Country, and which our Tenderness spared, you will do well to prevent their receiving any fresh Supplies there by destroying it, if the Inhabitants will not drive off their Stock and remove the Hay, Grain &c. in time. Experience has shewn that a contrary Conduct is not of the least Advantage to the poor Inhabitants, from whom all their Effects of every kind are taken without distinction, and without the least Satisfaction.
Troops are filing off from hence as fast as our Circumstances and situation will admit, in order to be transported over the River with all Expedition.3 I am Dr sir Your Obedt Humble Servt
Go: Washington
I need not suggest to you the necessity of giving General Mercer early information of all Circumstances in order that he may move up to your Relief with what Troops he has. A Letter inclosed to General Stevens is left open for your Perusal.4
LS, in Thomas Mifflin's writing, NHi: George and Martha Washington Papers; Df, DLC:GW; Varick transcript, DLC:GW. The copy of this letter that GW enclosed in his letter to historian William Gordon of 8 Mar. 1785 has not been identified (see that letter; see also Gordon to GW, 10 Jan. 1785).
1. For Greene's subsequent decision to continue defending Fort Washington and GW's failure to reverse it after arriving at Greene's headquarters on 13 Nov., see GW to John Augustine Washington, 6–19 Nov., and note 10, and GW to Hancock, 16 November.
2. Mifflin inadvertently wrote "scources" on the manuscript.
3. Led by intelligence reports to believe that General Howe was about to invade New Jersey with part of his army, GW on this date begin implementing the plan for reinforcing that state which a council of war had approved two days earlier. "A new disposition of the American army was now to take place," Heath writes under this date in his memoirs. "The southern troops were to cross over into the Jerseys. Gen. Lee, with his own, Spencer's, and Sullivan's divisions, were to remain to secure and bring off the stores; and were then to follow into the Jerseys. Our General [Heath] was ordered to march with his division to Peekskill" (Wilson, Heath's Memoirs description begins Rufus Rockwell Wilson, ed. Heath's Memoirs of the American War. 1798. Reprint. New York, 1904. description ends , 94–95). Gen. Israel Putnam's division, which consisted of Stirling's brigade of Virginia, Delaware, and Pennsylvania troops, Gen. Rezin Beall's brigade of Maryland flying camp troops, and Gen. Nathaniel Heard's brigade of New Jersey militia levies, marched to Peekskill on this date, and during the next three days it crossed the Hudson River at King's Ferry (see GW to Putnam, 9 Nov., Stirling to GW, 10 Nov., and GW to Hancock, 11, 14 November). Heath's division left White Plains on 9 Nov. and arrived at Peekskill the following afternoon (see Wilson, Heath's Memoirs description begins Rufus Rockwell Wilson, ed. Heath's Memoirs of the American War. 1798. Reprint. New York, 1904. description ends , 95). For Charles Lee's responsibilities under this new arrangement of the army, see GW's instructions to Lee of 10 November.
4. A note in Mifflin's writing on the addressed cover reads: "Please to seal the Letter for General Stevens after you have read it." GW's letter to Gen. Adam Stephen of this date, which has not been found, apparently reiterated GW's earlier order directing the commanding officer of the Virginia brigade to march his troops toward Fort Lee and put himself under Greene's command (see the part of Robert Hanson Harrison's letter to the Board of War of 4 Nov. that is quoted in Richard Peters's second letter to GW of 24 Oct., n.3, and the letters that GW and Greene wrote to one another on 9 November).

Both the city and Miami-Dade governments partially financed those high-rise apartment projects, Villa Patricia and Amber Garden, with multimillion-dollar, low-interest loans.
The subpoena is a mere snapshot of the grand jury's investigation into Miami-based Carlisle, the state's biggest and the nation's third-largest affordable-housing developer with more than 80 completed projects valued at $1.4 billion.
Carlisle was founded by Boggio and Greer's father, attorney Bruce Greer, in 1997. Matthew Greer joined the development company in 2004 and rose to CEO four years later, replacing Boggio. He remained as a principal.
Carlisle has garnered kudos over the past decade — despite a rough patch in the aftermath of the nation's 2008 financial crisis — as a socially and environmentally conscious developer.
The firm has been credited with developing attractive apartment complexes in blighted urban areas, and with improving the lives of people who could never afford market-rate rents in South Florida and elsewhere.
Carlisle's website lists awards won by Greer, including the 2009 Urban Land Institute's Young Leader prize and the South Florida Business Journal's 40 under 40 recognition.
The investigation into Matthew Greer, Boggio and Runyan, the contractor, started in late 2011 when two senior Carlisle executives quit and became whistle blowers for the feds, cutting cooperation deals with the FBI, Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Attorney's Office.
Prosecutors declined to comment for this story, as did representatives of the Florida Housing Finance Corp., which administers the federally funded low-income housing tax-credit program, known as LIHTC.
Greer, Carlisle's chief executive officer, represented by prominent defense attorneys Roy Black and Hy Shapiro, could not be reached for comment after messages were left at his Miami office.
Boggio, who was appointed by former Gov. Jeb Bush to Florida's Affordable Housing Study Commission, did not return messages left at his office. A Carlisle secretary said Boggio has retired from the company.
Attorney Conrad Boyle, representing Runyan, did not return two messages left at his law firm. Runyan's adult son Brad, the company president, said his father, who founded the family-run firm in 1995, was out of town.
The family's firm, BJ&K, is suspected of completing numerous affordable-housing projects below the reported costs that formed the basis for the tax credits obtained by Carlisle, according to sources familiar with the federal probe. Carlisle and the contractor then split the resulting profits in some fashion, the sources said.
Whenever a developer delivers a project below cost, the company is required to notify the state and return any extra tax credits initially approved by the Florida Housing Finance Corp., according to the agency.
The tax-credit program, approved by Congress as part of the 1986 Tax Reform Act to spur the development of affordable housing, is especially lucrative for investors — usually banks and other financial firms — because they can deduct the credits over many years dollar-for-dollar from their actual tax obligations, rather than as just deductions.
Generally, the IRS grants tax credits to the developer, who sells the credits to investors. Those credits typically are capped at 9 percent of the project's construction costs.
With the influx of investment capital, the developer can limit how much he or she needs to borrow. The result: lower debt that allows for lower rents.
Tax-credit applications are reviewed on a project-by-project basis by the Florida Housing Finance Corp., which doles them out under strict IRS guidelines. This year, the state agency has about $43 million in tax credits to allocate, based on Florida's population.
Kevin Tatreau, director of the agency's multifamily development programs, said affordable housing units have become extremely desirable over the past decade as many Floridians' incomes have failed to keep pace with rising housing costs. Concurrently, the tax-credit program has become fiercely competitive for affordable-housing developers. The state now receives proposals seeking credits worth seven times Florida's allocation.
Alfredo Duran, deputy director of the city's community and economic development department, said the subsidies allow the developer to offer affordable rents from $400 to $800 a month for housing that is both practical and modern.
"It gives a great opportunity to folks who otherwise wouldn't be able to live in such a healthy environment," he said.
During the real estate boom and subsequent bust, Carlisle cultivated a reputation as being one of the best affordable-housing developers.
• Villa Patricia, three white-and-blue towers with 339 apartments for elderly residents. Carlisle developed the project, at Northeast Second Avenue and 79th Street in Little Haiti, with Biscayne Housing Group. Built by BJ&K, the project cost a total of $74 million. Investors put in $57.5 million, and received $6.7 million in federal tax credits.
• Brownsville Transit Village, a mixed-income affordable housing development on six county-owned acres next to the Metrorail station. The 467-unit complex, 5200 NW 29th Ave., has a community clubhouse, fitness center and computer lab, for both families and senior citizens. The project, built by BJ&K, cost $100 million, with nearly $79 million coming from investors who received $7.5 million in tax credits.
• Northwest Gardens, a 14-block distressed area near downtown Fort Lauderdale. Carlisle teamed up with the Fort Lauderdale Housing Authority to redevelop the impoverished 30-acre neighborhood into low-rise buildings with 559 rental apartments. The project, which is being built by BJ&K, cost $109 million. Investors received $9.1 million in tax credits.


As is usual in drug-related beheadings, a sign was left next to the bodies. It was addressed to Edgar Valdez Villarreal, a Mexican-American drug trafficker known by the nickname La Barbie because his light complexion makes him look like Ken, the companion of the Barbie doll. "Here are your homosexuals," the note began. "This will happen to all the traitors and those who support you."
Within hours, government workers had carted away the bodies and scrubbed the scene nearly clean of bloodstains. Locals declined to talk.
Decapitations by drug cartels in Mexico first began in 2006, and that year armed thugs swaggered onto the white tile dance floor of the Sol y Sombra discotheque in Uruapan, a town in Michoacan state, and dumped five heads from plastic garbage bags.
The blood-curdling act shocked Mexico, and evoked images of Islamic terrorism half a world away.
"These guys are copying the methods of al Qaida (terrorists)," said Jorge Chabat, a criminal justice expert at the Center for Research and Teaching of Economics in Mexico City. He said the Mexican drug lords saw Internet video of beheadings of hostages captured by Muslim extremists in Iraq and Pakistan, and adopted the tactic themselves, down to the posting of video on the internet.
Decapitations emerged alongside another gruesome tactic — dumping the bodies of rivals in vats of acid. Cartel goons have moved away from that method, however.
"Dissolving the bodies in acid didn't bring them the same spectacular results," said Arturo Arango Duran, a security consultant in Monterrey, the industrial and business hub in the nation's north, referring to media coverage. "This is all part of a plan to use publicity to control territory through terror."
Experts suggest that the drug gangs have several motives. First, they seek to use beheadings to cow the citizenry from squealing on them and to pressure local authorities to collaborate. Second, the gangs try to out-macho each other with greater acts of macabre violence, frightening rivals in a murderous spiral.
The only hitch is that all the drug gangs have taken up beheadings.
"Even though everybody does it, it still works. That's the problem," Chabat said. "If you're a trafficker and you know that this is part of the game, the idea of having your head decapitated is not attractive."
National print media in Mexico now downplay the beheadings, giving them scant paragraphs and limiting the publicity the cartels once received.
The pace of drug-related violence is quickening. March was the bloodiest month yet with 958 deaths, El Universal newspaper reported Thursday. Since President Felipe Calderon took office in late 2006, confronting drug cartels, 18,757 people have died, it said.
"They are plumbing the depths of brutality now — the beheading of people, dissolving people in acid, doing the massacres in addiction centers, you know, throwing peoples' bodies in ditches," said Bruce Bagley, an expert on narcotics trafficking at the University of Miami.
In Acapulco on the Pacific Coast, two nephews of the city's deputy transit director were found dismembered and beheaded on March 22. A sign near the bodies said it was vengeance against those who supported drug lord Hector Beltran Leyva, a bitter rival of La Barbie.
On a rural highway north of Monterrey, the beheaded bodies of a rural police chief and his brother were found in a Chevrolet pickup truck March 26. Assailants used the blood from the victims to scrawl "CDG," the Spanish initials for the Gulf Cartel, on the windshield and the driver's door.
The Gulf Cartel, based in Tamaulipas state, is locked in a bloody feud with a group that once provided muscle to its leaders. The armed wing, known as Los Zetas, struck out on its own in 2008, and the killings between the two have continued nonstop.
In an indication of the frequency of decapitations, local media in Michoacan said Apatzingan alone has been the scene of 18 beheadings since the beginning of the year.
Is Mexico's drug violence spilling over into Texas?


Keep your seeds heat and humid. Most seeds are healthy at a temperature of about seventy degrees. Place your pots next to a heating vent or set up an additional heater if wanted. You possibly can cowl your pots with plastic movies in order that the seeds can maintain their humidity and heat. To keep rodents, deer, and different pesky animals away out of your natural backyard, use natural repellents. A spray produced from hot peppers may be effective. Otherwise strive a sprig containing urine or rotten eggs. No matter what you utilize, apply the sprays liberally and reapply usually especially after a rain shower.
Short, low-mendacity weeds could be a headache in any organic garden. The perfect tactic for coping with such intruders is to make use of a spade to chop them out at root degree and bury them totally underneath recent soil. Dense, crawling weeds are too laborious to pick out individually, but fortunately they are simply handled in bulk. Hand weed your organic backyard frequently. Simply get in your knees, put your arms within the grime, and pull weeds out by their roots. Should you do that frequently, you'll be able to keep away from having to make use of harmful pesticides. Your backyard will keep healthy, protected, and natural.
Don't underestimate pine as nice mulch. Some garden crops are high in acidity, and do higher with acidic soil. If you're growing a majority of these vegetation, merely gather up fallen pine needles for use in your backyard. Sprinkle the pine needles over your beds. As the needles decompose, they add to the acid degree in the soil. Apply equal portions of dried plant material and inexperienced into your compost pile. Examples of inexperienced plant materials are spent flowers, fruit and vegetable waste, grass clippings, weeds, and leaves. Sawdust, straw, cardboard, paper and wood pulp are all examples of dried plant material. Your compost pile ought to never include meat, ashes or charcoal.
Be sure you mulch the world all around your new plant.
When you first begin using organic produce you will realize that it tends to rot quite a bit sooner. It is because much less preservatives are used. Having a lower shelf life means that that you must cook dinner or eat the produce a bit bit quicker than you'd regular store purchased options. You need not buy all new vegetation to have a profitable organic backyard. Try using crops which might be in the landscape. These can both be native to the area, or they are often imported from areas that had related local weather circumstances and soil. They require much less water, much less care, and they won't die within the winter.
An natural different to chemical fertilizer is compost. You can also make your personal compost through the use of fruits, vegetables and different organic wastes from your own home. Compost offers your soil the nutrients it needs and improves its structure. Make use of a floor cover, reminiscent of mulch or hay. Be sure when you are buying your floor cover, that it is usually natural, as any chemical substances contained within the mulch or hay might be absorbed by your plants. Organic floor coverings will protect the roots of your plants and assist stop water evaporation.
Develop your own organic tomatoes simply. Tomatoes love mild, so select a spot that will get sun all day long. Allow space between your tomato plants to cut back the possibility of soil diseases that can affect your crop. When you purchase seedlings instead of sprouting your personal, steer clear of small seedlings with poorly developed root programs; they will take weeks to indicate any real progress.
Obtaining this certification provides you with additional credibility as an organic gardener, boosting sales and proving to your prospects that you just present only the most effective.

I had always had thin and very light eyebrows growing up. Then as I have gotten older I have losted hairs along the way. Has made it more difficult for me to accomplish a nice and even look to my eyebrows. I had been look into doing this procedure and wanted to get this done for myself. But with certain situations in my life it was set back and I just put it to the side. Then I got a very unexpected text if u could be at the appointment 3pm the next day. I was so excited. I felt as thought what I had put a side ,God had moved that mountain just a little so that I could be able to get the procedure done. The next day as I drove to my appointment their were definitely doubts in my mind on how was is going to turn out...."WHAT IF"....it's to dark, I don't like the shape or maybe one comes out to short differently was worried. But as I got to the office I felt as thought I had been there before . I was greeted by Linda DeLeon ( instructor) and student & daughter as well very nice individuals who explained the procedures. When they proceed to do the hair strokes they constantly asked needed I was feeling & applying numbing cream to ease the pain as needed always concern about me in a professional matter. They worked as a great team together and value each others opinion, which meant a lot to me. I felt that as a team they all want it to be perfect. But my mind was still playing trick on me in the back of my head was still worrying about the the final results. But when I looked in the mirror "WOW" I was amazed on the results those tears where tears of joy and happiness to see the new me. No more spent hours on my eyebrows because there were times where they would turn out great and times when they just looked out of place. Now I could get up worry free with my permanent eyebrows how awesome is that. I think I have said enough the video tells a whole lot more on how I felt at that moment of satisfaction. Thank you!! Linda DeLeon and the rest of the team..Awesome team work!!

This repository aims to provide a quick start for modern LaTeXing with [LNCS](http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs).
In addition to the official template, it offers following features:

 * clean copy and paste of ligatures (e.g., "workflow" stays "workflow" after copying from the PDF).
 * automatic setting of "Fig." and "Section"/"Sect." according to the LNCS style. Just use `\Cref{sec:xy}` at the beginning of a sentence and `\cref{sec:xy}` in the middle of a sentence. Thanx to [cleveref](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/cleveref).
 * [microtypographic extensions](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/microtype) for a better look of the paper.
 * support of `\powerset`.
 * support of hyperlinked references without extra color thanx to [hyperref](https://www.ctan.org/pkg/hyperref).
 * better breaking of URLs.
 * sharper font.

The official template is available at http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0.
The files are also provided at Springer's FTP server at ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/.

**Two files of Springer are needed to get the template working:** ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/llncs.cls and ftp://ftp.springer.de/pub/tex/latex/llncs/latex2e/splncs03.bst.
Reason: Licensing restrictions of Springer do not allow distribution outside of springer.
See [message #47 for debian bug 31897](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=31897#47) for details.
Therefore, the required files [llncs.cls] and [splncs03.bst] have to be downloaded in some way.
Follow the quick start instructions.

## Quick start

 * Click on `Download ZIP` or [here](https://github.com/latextemplates/LNCS/archive/template.zip).
 * Extract template.zip in the folder where you want to write your paper.
 * Execute `download-llncs-files-from.springer.bat` to download [llncs.cls] and [splncs03.bst].
 * Edit [paper.tex](paper.tex).
 * `latexmk paper`.

## Benefits in comparison to Springer's version

* Provides a skeletal [paper.tex](paper.tex) file
* Adds modern packages such as [microtype], [cleveref], [csquotes], [paralist], [hyperref], [hypcap], [cfr-lm]
* Support of copy and paste from the generated PDF: Glyphs are encoded using unicode characters.
* Support for `\powerset` command
* Generated PDF allows for copy and paste of text without getting words with ligatures such as "workflow" destroyed

## Tool hints
Grammar and spell checking is available at [TeXstudio].
Please download [LanguageTool] and [configure Texstudio to use it](http://wiki.languagetool.org/checking-la-tex-with-languagetool#toc4).
Note that it is enough to point to `languagetool.jar`.
Use [JabRef] to manage your bibliography.

If TeXstudio doesn't fit your neesd, check [the list of all available LaTeX Editors](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/339/latex-editors-ides).

## Using the template with your git repository

### Initialization
This howto assumes that you don't have a git repository for your paper yet.
If you have, just add https://github.com/latextemplates/LNCS.git as upstream and merge the branch `template` into your `master` branch.

1. Open command line
1. `git clone https://github.com/latextemplates/LNCS.git`
1. `cd LNCS`
1. `git remote rename origin upstream`
1. `git checkout -b master`

After that you can use and push the `master` branch as usual.
Notes on syncing with the upstream repository [are available from GitHub](https://help.github.com/articles/syncing-a-fork/).
Note that we decided to call the upstream branch `template` to have a clear distinction between the real content (maintained in your `master` branch) and the template (maintained in the `template` branch).

Marriage ceremonies are not performed at the Bamberg County Probate Court.
You and your fiancé must come together (2959 Main Highway, Room 103, Bamberg, SC 29003) to apply for a marriage license between the hours of 9A.M. and 4P.M. Monday through Friday except major holidays. Proper identification must be presented and $45.00 cash fee paid at the time of application. The license will be issued after 24 hours has passed and one party may return to pick up the license.
Applicants age 16 and 17 must bring an original or certified copy of their birth certificate, parental consent and a state-issued I.D. If the parents are divorced, the consenting parent must bring a certified copy of the divorce decree granting them custody.
If you are divorcing, your divorce must be final before you can apply for a marriage license.
Only ministers of the Gospel or accepted Jewish Rabbis and officers authorized to administer oaths in South Carolina are authorized to administer a marriage ceremony in this state.
All three pages of the marriage license must be signed and completed by the couple who has been married and the person who performed the marriage. The two copies marked, "Probate Judge" and "Probate Judge/DHEC" must be returned to Probate Court for proper recording of the marriage.


We can know God personally, but not ever fully know Him since we are finite and He is infinite. The Bible teaches us that He is too great to be fully known.
His understanding is beyond measure, and is so high we cannot attain it. No matter how smart someone may be, they will still fall short.
The good news to us is that we can personally know God. We can know about eternal life through knowing Jesus, and the One who sent Jesus to earth.
We can know about God from Scripture.
We have been created for His glory, and we bring glory to God by imitating Him, His likeness, and attributes. God can be known by studying Scripture and through a personal relationship with God the Son, Jesus Christ.

[![Build Status](https://github.com/nyaruka/django-hamlpy/workflows/CI/badge.svg)](https://github.com/nyaruka/django-hamlpy/actions?query=workflow%3ACI)
[![Coverage Status](https://codecov.io/gh/nyaruka/django-hamlpy/branch/main/graph/badge.svg)](https://codecov.io/gh/nyaruka/django-hamlpy)
[![PyPI Release](https://img.shields.io/pypi/v/django-hamlpy.svg)](https://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-hamlpy/)

Why type:

```html
<div class="left" id="banner">
    Greetings!
</div>
```

when you can just type:

```haml
.left#banner
    Greetings!
```

... and do something more fun with all the time you save not typing angle brackets and remembering to close tags?

The syntax above is [Haml](http://www.haml-lang.com) - a templating language used extensively in the Ruby on Rails
community. This library lets Django developers use a Haml like syntax in their templates. It's not a template engine in
itself, but simply a compiler which will convert "HamlPy" files into templates that Django can understand.

This project is a fork of the no longer maintained [HamlPy](https://github.com/jessemiller/HamlPy). It introduces
Python 3 support, support for new Django versions, and a host of new features and bug fixes. Note that the package name
is now *django-hamlpy*.

## Installing

The latest stable version can be installed using [pip](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pip/):

    pip install django-hamlpy

And the latest development version can be installed directly from GitHub:

    pip install git+https://github.com/nyaruka/django-hamlpy

**NOTE:** If you run into build errors, then you may need to install [python's development package](http://stackoverflow.com/a/21530768/2896976).

## Syntax

Almost all of the syntax of Haml is preserved.

```haml
#profile(style="width: 200px")
    .left.column
        #date 2010/02/18
        #address Toronto, ON
    .right.column<
        #bio Jesse Miller
```

turns into:

```htmldjango
<div id='profile' style="width: 200px">
    <div class='left column'>
        <div id='date'>2010/02/18</div>
        <div id='address'>Toronto, ON</div>
    </div>
    <div class='right column'><div id='bio'>Jesse Miller</div></div>
</div>
```

The main difference is instead of interpreting Ruby, or even Python we instead can create Django tags and variables. For
example:

```haml
%ul#athletes
    - for athlete in athlete_list
        %li.athlete{'id': 'athlete_#{ athlete.pk }'}= athlete.name
```

becomes...

```htmldjango
<ul id='athletes'>
    {% for athlete in athlete_list %}
        <li class='athlete' id='athlete_{{ athlete.pk }}'>{{ athlete.name }}</li>
    {% endfor %}
</ul>
```

## Usage

There are two different ways to use this library.

### Option 1: Template loaders

These are Django template loaders which will convert any templates with `.haml` or `.hamlpy` extensions to regular
Django templates whenever they are requested by a Django view. To use them, add them to the list of template loaders in
your Django settings, e.g.

```python
TEMPLATES=[
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['./templates'],
        'OPTIONS': {
            'loaders': (
                'hamlpy.template.loaders.HamlPyFilesystemLoader',
                'hamlpy.template.loaders.HamlPyAppDirectoriesLoader',
                ...
            ),
        }
    }
]
```

Ensure they are listed before the standard Django template loaders or these loaders will try to process your Haml
templates.

#### Template caching

You can use these loaders with template caching - just add `django.template.loaders.cached.Loader` to your list of
loaders, e.g.

```python
'loaders': (
    ('django.template.loaders.cached.Loader', (
        'hamlpy.template.loaders.HamlPyFilesystemLoader',
        'hamlpy.template.loaders.HamlPyAppDirectoriesLoader',
        ...
    )),
)
```

#### Settings

You can configure the Haml compiler with the following Django settings:

  * `HAMLPY_ATTR_WRAPPER` -- The character that should wrap element attributes. Defaults to `'` (an apostrophe).
  * `HAMLPY_DJANGO_INLINE_STYLE` -- Whether to support `={...}` syntax for inline variables in addition to `#{...}`.
     Defaults to `False`.

### Option 2: Watcher

The library can also be used as a stand-alone program. There is a watcher script which will monitor Haml files in a
given directory and convert them to HTML as they are edited.

```
usage: hamlpy_watcher.py [-h] [-v] [-i EXT [EXT ...]] [-ext EXT] [-r S]
                         [--tag TAG] [--attr-wrapper {",'}] [--django-inline]
                         [--jinja] [--once]
                         input_dir [output_dir]

positional arguments:
  input_dir             Folder to watch
  output_dir            Destination folder

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  -v, --verbose         Display verbose output
  -i EXT [EXT ...], --input-extension EXT [EXT ...]
                        The file extensions to look for.
  -ext EXT, --extension EXT
                        The output file extension. Default is .html
  -r S, --refresh S     Refresh interval for files. Default is 3 seconds.
                        Ignored if the --once flag is set.
  --tag TAG             Add self closing tag. eg. --tag macro:endmacro
  --attr-wrapper {",'}  The character that should wrap element attributes.
                        This defaults to ' (an apostrophe).
  --django-inline       Whether to support ={...} syntax for inline variables
                        in addition to #{...}
  --jinja               Makes the necessary changes to be used with Jinja2.
  --once                Runs the compiler once and exits on completion.
                        Returns a non-zero exit code if there were any compile
                        errors.
```

### Create message files for translation

HamlPy must first be included in Django's list of apps, i.e.

```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
  ...
  'hamlpy'
  ...
]
```

Then just include your Haml templates along with all the other files which contain translatable strings, e.g.

```bash
python manage.py makemessages --extension haml,html,py,txt
```

## Reference

Check out the [reference](http://github.com/nyaruka/django-hamlpy/blob/master/REFERENCE.md) file for the complete syntax
reference and more examples.

## Class Based Views

This library also provides [the same class based generic views than django](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/topics/class-based-views/generic-display/) with the enhancement that they start by looking for templates endings with `*.haml` and `*.hamlpy` in addition to their default templates. Apart from that, they are exactly the same class based generic views. For example:

```python
from hamlpy.views.generic import DetailView, ListView
from my_app.models import SomeModel

# will look for the templates `my_app/somemodel_detail.haml`,
# `my_app/somemodel_detail.hamlpy` and  `my_app/somemodel_detail.html`
DetailView.as_view(model=SomeModel)

# will look for the templates `my_app/somemodel_list.haml`,
# `my_app/somemodel_list.hamlpy` and  `my_app/somemodel_list.html`
ListView.as_view(model=SomeModel)
```

The available view classes are:

Display views:

* [DetailView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#detailview)
* [ListView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#listview)

Edit views:

* [CreateView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#createview)
* [UpdateView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#updateview)
* [DeleteView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#deleteview)

Date related views:

* [DateDetailView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#datedetailview)
* [ArchiveIndexView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#archiveindexview)
* [YearArchiveView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#yeararchiveview)
* [MonthArchiveView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#montharchiveview)
* [WeekArchiveView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#weekarchiveview)
* [DayArchiveView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#dayarchiveview)
* [TodayArchiveView](https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/class-based-views/generic-display/#todayarchiveview)

All views are importable from `hamlpy.views.generic` and are built using the `HamlExtensionTemplateView` mixin which you
can use to create your own custom Haml-using views. For example:

```python
from hamlpy.views.generic import HamlExtensionTemplateView

class MyNewView(HamlExtensionTemplateView, ParentViewType):
    pass
```

**Note**: `HamlExtensionTemplateView` *needs* to be first in the inheritance list.

High School Graduates on What Baltimore Means to Them
Lauren Eller

For Jonah Haas, a recent graduate of Friends School of Baltimore, there is a lot of pride in being a Baltimorean.
Haas, a member of the class of 2016, has lived here his entire life. Although he will be leaving the city in the fall to attend Syracuse University and study film, he feels there's a very good chance he'll return in the future. "I cannot see myself in a place other than Baltimore," he said.
Baltimore sports in particular have always been a passion for Haas, which he harnessed during his time at Friends. During his sophomore year, he founded Quaker Nation — the school's medium for broadcasting sports coverage — with the aid of two of his teachers. What began as a Twitter-only method of updating the Friends community about its athletic competitions has transformed into a multi-social media platform with over a thousand followers.
"[Quaker Nation]'s a huge thing at Friends now," Haas said. "It's really changed the way fans can experience their sports teams. So that's grown to something that I've never even imagined."

Last summer when Haas participated in a bike trip with other kids from across the country, he experienced outsiders' perspectives on Baltimore at a time when the city was receiving negative attention on a national scale. But Haas has always maintained his faith and pride in his hometown.
Caroline Kaufman, a member of the Bryn Mawr class of 2016, had a similar experience when she attended Camp Chateaugay in upstate New York during a recent summer. She said that when one of her fellow campers discovered she was from Baltimore, they asked her if she'd ever been shot. Kaufman said that she wrote one of her application essays for Tufts — where she will be attending in the fall — about the dichotomy between the outside perception of the city and her perception as a community member.
Kaufman added that there will be many things about the city she'll miss when she leaves for college, including the group of students at Roland Park Elementary/Middle School that she has tutored for going on three years. "I'm going to miss being able to see their progress, because I've already seen them grow so much," she said.
Kaufman believes she will continue tutoring kids when she goes to college, and hopes that she'll be able to find "the same kind of open discussions and engaged community" that she experienced at Bryn Mawr. As for returning to the city, she said, "It's very much where my roots are. I've never lived anywhere else, so I can definitely see myself coming back."
Michael Holmes, who just graduated from Gilman, is not quite as sure that he'll return to Baltimore in the long run but has many fond memories here nonetheless. A native of Mt. Washington, he is set to venture to Yale for the fall semester, but he'll take with him his recollections of high school.
"There's a lot of small moments you remember," he said. "Times when a bunch of people stayed late after school because they didn't have rides and you just end up playing foosball in the senior room for like an hour."

Artscape is a favorite Baltimore tradition for Holmes; both of his parents are artists who graduated from MICA, and have taken their son to the city's art festival for as long as he can remember. He felt that growing up in Baltimore afforded him many opportunities to explore, particularly with its abundance of museums and other locales like the National Aquarium.
"I guess diverse is the word, just sort of in terms of what you can do," Holmes said in describing his hometown. "There's a lot of opportunities and a lot of extracurriculars, a lot of fields you can get interested in."
Lauren Eller, a student at Kenyon College, is the Baltimore Fishbowl summer intern.

Really well written Lauren! I like the contrasts of the different students and their feelings about returning to Baltimore. The Quaker Nation platform is exciting to read about!

Atlético Madrid won the first European trophy of the season thanks to a late comeback in the second half.
The UEFA Champions League champions do not seem as good as they were under coach Zidane and with Cristiano Ronaldo. It could be a long and difficult season for the running 3-time Champions league champion under new coach Lopetegui.
And, Real Madrid eliminated Atletico in the semifinals round in 2017.
Finally Atletico Madrid wins and brings a great amount of joy to the club's fans.
We started off strongly with the goal and then they were better until Benzema scored. After that, it was a tight match. The penalty took us out of the match a bit, but we knew we could cause danger.
"In a final like this, mistakes can make a key difference and Atlético are experts in taking advantage. They got a deserved win. When we levelled the scores, we were better, they tied it up in an unfortunate play.
We have to congratulate them and pick ourselves up, because LaLiga is starting and we need to rebuild quickly. I feel frustrated and sad, but I know that responsibility forces us to move on tomorrow.
We did not start off well and they went ahead in the first play. The team needed to turn the score around and we did it with some good play and getting up there, we did not kill the match off at 2-1 and they took advantage.
We started off playing pretty well in extra time but they won by scoring the most goals. Atlético deservedly won.

Pioneers to run at SAC Championships on Saturday
GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- The Tusculum University men's and women's cross country teams will compete in the South Atlantic Conference Championships Saturday morning.
The meet will take place at the Milliken Research Center in Spartanburg, South Carolina, with the men's race starting at 9 a.m. followed by the women's event at 10:15 a.m.
Last year, the Pioneer men finished ninth and the women seventh at the SAC Championship meet in Newton, North Carolina. The Pioneers' best men's SAC finish was fifth in 2008, while the women finished as high as third from 2001 through 2003.
MEN'S PREVIEW
The Tusculum men have enjoyed a strong fall season, with a win, two second-place finishes and a fourth-place result among their five competitions. The Pioneers were ranked in the US Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Southeast Region poll for the first time in program history, reaching as high as fifth in the three weeks they were included in the rankings.
Sophomore Will Cronin is entered in Saturday's championship for the Pioneers. Cronin had a pair of top-10 finishes to start the season, including the victory in the 5K in the Zaxby's Open on Sept. 7. Cronin added a ninth-place finish at the Lenoir-Rhyne Invitational on Sept. 14 with a time of 25:58.8. Last year, Cronin was the Pioneers' top finisher as he crossed the line 29th.
Sophomore Jackson Beason earned his first career win at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic on Oct. 19, running 25:22.3. One week earlier, Beason ran 25:04.0 at the Royals Cross Country Challenge with a time that was less than a second shy of the program record set by All-Region runner Simon Holzapfel in the 2010 SAC Championship. Beason placed 33rd overall in last year's SAC Championship.
Freshman Kyler Hodges turned in his best showing of the season at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic, taking ninth place with a time of 26:36.8. Hodges also had a second-place finish behind Cronin in the Zaxby's Open, and was 12th overall at the Lenoir-Rhyne Invitational. Hodges' best time of the year came at Queens with a mark of 25:18.0.
Junior T.J. Tupps has four finishes of 16th or better in his five races this season, including a second-place showing at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic and a sixth-place finish at the Zaxby's Open. Tupps shaved a minute off his runs at the Lenoir-Rhyne Invitational and the North Georgia Invitational that saw him finish 11th and 16th, respectively.
Among the runners hoping to round out the top five for the Pioneers are senior J'Quen Johnson and freshmen Alejandro Perez and Daniel Rotich.
Johnson ran in all five meets this fall for the Pioneers, with a best finish of 17th at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic and a top time of 26:23.0 at the Royals Challenge. Johnson was the Pioneer's fifth runner at last year's SAC Championships, with a career-best finish of 47th in the 2016 championship meet.
Perez turned in his best finish of the year at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic as he crossed the line in 20th place, coming off a Royals Challenge in which he set his fastest 8K mark of the season at 27:12.0. Rotich finished 15th at the Zaxby's Open and 15th at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic, in which he had a season-best time of 26:55.2. Rotich has run three 8K races this season and had a spread of seven seconds among the three times he posted.
Also entered for the Pioneers are junior Kyle Stanley, sophomore Isaac Hybarger and freshman Carson Walls. Stanley ran in four meets for the Pioneers this season, with a best time and finish of 26th in 27:53.3 at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic. Hybarger ran a career-best 30:24.0 at the Royals Challenge and had a 37th-place finish at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic, and Walls turned in a 21st-place finish at the Zaxby's Open and ran a best time of 27:44 at the Royals Challenge.
WOMEN'S PREVIEW
The Pioneers are coming off a season-best second-place finish at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic on Oct. 19, and will send seven runners out to cover the 6K course in the SAC Championship.
Junior Alissa Furches has been the Pioneers' top runner this season, finishing sixth in the Zaxby's Open on Sept. 7, 15th at the North Georgia Invitational on Sept. 29 and fifth at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic. Furches had a career-best 5K time of 19:25 at the Royals Challenge on Oct. 12, and will look to surpass her 20th-place finish in last year's SAC Championship that earned her honorable mention All-Conference honors.
Three other Pioneers ran in last year's SAC Championship meet, including junior Brooklyn Smith who had a career-best 58th-place finish. Smith ran 12th at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic and had a season-best 5K time of 21:54.0 at the Royals Challenge.
Senior Makenzi Alley will be running in her third SAC Championship, looking to surpass her 54th-place run from two years ago. Alley ran in three meets this fall, placing 14th overall at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic.
Sophomore Angel Quay placed 86th at last year's SAC Championship meet, and has posted a career-best time in the 5K of 22:43.0 at the Royals Challenge. Quay was also a 21st-place finisher at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic and ran a career-best 28:20.2 in that 6K race.
Sophomore Yoland Boyce has been the Pioneers' second finisher during the season, placing 10th overall at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic with a season-best time in the 6K of 25:15.0. Boyce also ran 20:33 at the Royals Challenge to finish behind Furches in the Tusculum lineup.
Freshman Judith Chepkirui is also coming off a season-best time of 29:35.1 at the Lenoir-Rhyne Classic, and has cut more than a minute off her 5K time in each of her three races this season.
Senior Nicole McMillen is also entered in the meet after competing for the Pioneer women's soccer team during the fall. McMillen proved to be a strong distance runner for Tusculum in track & field last season, taking fourth in the 5K at the indoor championship with a time of 18:20.47 and eighth in the 1500 meters at the outdoor championship.

Our Workforce & Society
Developing Our Workforce
We place significant emphasis on improved work performance as part of our business sustainability. As such, we encourage our employees to develop their competencies and qualifications to help them to improve their job performance.
In 2017, we invested approximately RM179,000 on both in-house and external technical training as part of our continuing development in our most valued resource – our people. This is equivalent to RM439 per employee in 2017.
Our Approach to Human Rights
We are committed to the preservation and protection of human rights in our supply chain.
As a global engineering solutions provider, we face issues relating to working conditions in our foreign operations. Part of our business operations includes utilising contractors and their workers in building and construction related works in developing countries. We recognise that the safeguarding of human rights extend to our suppliers and part of our corporate social responsibility is to conduct an annual review of our supply chain including contractors and suppliers to assess their safety procedures and working conditions.
We will continue to support gender equality by providing equal opportunity without discrimination. Our Group's total female employees' composition increased from 18% in 2016 to 19% in 2017. The growth came mainly from our operations in Malaysia.
Although the proportion of women in our operations in Malaysia had increased from 18% in 2014 to 21% in 2017, we recognise that more work needs to be done to create gender equality in our operations.
Of the 21% of women employees, 53% were in clerical and administrative positions, followed by 31% in technical, supervisory, and sales and marketing positions while the remaining 16% were in managerial and professional positions. As such, we do have a gender imbalance in technical and supervisory roles, as well as in managerial and professional departments.
Foreign Operations
Aside from our Malaysia operations, we face more of a challenging environment in promoting gender diversity in our foreign operations where female workers accounted for very low proportion within our Group. This is particularly prevalent in our Middle East operations.
We are stepping up our actions to improve the imbalance by increasing the employment of women across all areas of our organisation. To this end, we have introduced some internal initiatives to attract and retain our pool of talented women in our Group. Some of these initiatives include developing and accelerating the career of female employees who can demonstrate leadership position in their areas of operation. In addition, we recognise that to seek an equal balance of men and women in our Group is to build the pipeline of potential female employees. Part of our initiatives for 2018 is to give seminars and talks targeted at engineering students in tertiary educational institutions as well as vocational students with the intention to attract potential female employees to join our Group.
Occupational health and safety is an integral part of our business operations and our customers expects the highest safety standards. As such, we have inculcated a culture that focuses on health and safety. Among others, all new employees and contractors working at our service centres and customers' sites have to undergo formalised internal safety briefing.
Visitors to our service centres are also provided with safety procedures. In addition, safety also extends to attire, footwear and headgear. All workers at our service centres are required to wear company issued work clothes, footwear, hardhats, goggles and where necessary ear plugs. These are specially designed to offer protection for the wearer.


billwerk can automatically invoice metered usage components and additional invoice items ("rated items") after exceeding defined thresholds. This means that you do not have to wait for the next regular billing date. Instead, the items are billed when a certain amount has been reached. To configure the threshold value settlement, go to "Settings > Payment > Billing" and activate the threshold value settlement with the checkbox "Enabled".
Afterwards, you can set an amount for each means of payment used, from which billwerk should automatically charge interim bills if the amount is exceeded. If you also want to settle "additional invoice items / rated Items" after a threshold value has been exceeded, set the check mark under "Include rated items".
You can deactivate or reactivate threshold billing for individual contracts. To do this, go to the customer's contract details and click on "On" or "Off" in the "Threshold Billing"section.

Q: SQL server Installation I have received a new server. The server has the following specification.
It has 500 gig 7.2K RPM disk,
 SSD
 NVME
1.2 TB  10K RPM disk.
All are in RAID 1.
I am planning to install Windows Sever on the 7.2K RPM disks. I want to install SQL Server on the OS drive( i.e. 7.2K RPM drive). I am planning to keep log and data files on SSD and NVME. The 10k RPM drive will be used for backups.
NVME drive is faster than SSD.
My Windows team recommend that I should install Windows Server on the SSD or 10K drives for performance. But all I care is about SQL Server performance. I don't think that Windows Server will perform badly on the 7.2k drive.
Does anyone see a reason to install Windows Server on any drive other than the 7.2K RPM drives?

A: In short, put the OSes on slow storage and all the data/log & backup files on fast storage.
I know that my environment is different that yours, but I think similar principles apply.  We have a SAN and the storage pools range in different speeds, 7.2k, 10k, 15k.
We install the OSes on the slower drive pools and have all backup files and data/log files stored on the 15k drives.  There was a time when we accidentally put everything on the 15k drives and we didn't notice a performance difference.  It was brought to our attention by our SAN admin after an audit that the OS was stored on the faster drives.
We monitor SQL Server performance with perfmon and Dell Spotlight.  For grins, we went and looked at the historical metrics that mattered, and saw nothing to note.

Seizure of US-based assets
DAB owned about US$7 billion in assets held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. After the 2021 Taliban seizure of power, a group of about 150 relatives of victims of the September 11 attacks attempted to use a judgement from the SDNY case Havlish v. Bin Laden to gain control of these assets, asserting that they were now legally the Taliban's and thus could be used to pay damages to 9/11 victims' families. After a period of deliberation, the Biden administration went along with the request, dividing the assets into two halves, one of which would be allocated to the plaintiffs as potential damages, and the other which would be used to set up a trust fund to "support the needs of the Afghan people" but which the Taliban government would remain barred from accessing. On 26 August 2022, a judge recommended to not award damages as the bank is "immune from jurisdiction" and that it would "acknowledge" the Taliban as the legitimate Afghan government.

Pandora's Top Executive to Leave
Chairman/President/CEO Joe Kennedy to leave; search for successor underway
Start-ups go through several stages on their way to becoming established companies and Pandora Chairman/President/CEO Joe Kennedy believes the Internet audio company is at a place where he can step away.
The company announced Kennedy is leaving and the process to find his successor is underway.
Kennedy joined Pandora in 2004 after spending five years at E-Loan, where he was president and chief executive officer. The electrical engineering and computer science grad from Princeton went on to earn a Harvard MBA. He was part of the original start-up team at Saturn.
Kennedy has led Pandora since 2004, when the company had about 15 people. He told analysts the decision to leave was "pretty recent. There's no perfect time to do this" though he thinks this is a good time to do so.
"We've turned a corner on mobile monetization," referring to Pandora's reported $225.9 million in mobile revenue for fiscal 2013. Kennedy will remain in his current role until a successor is named.

Tradebook's STAZ Strategy Analyzer Gets In-Trade Upgrade
Bloomberg's STAZ tool upgraded for institutional traders scanning the market for strategies and includes machine learning features.
Steven Hatzakis | Execution ( Institutional FX ) | Thursday, 25/02/2016 | 22:36 GMT+2 2016-02-25T20:36:02+00:00 2016-02-25T20:36:02+00:00
The agency brokerage business operated by Bloomberg Tradebook has today revealed a product improvement to its Strategy Analyzer (STAZ) tool for traders, adding a new feature called In-Trade, which as the name implies provides in-trade functionality, in addition to existing pre-trade and post-trade features to the trading platform.
STAZ, aimed towards institutional investors and traders, brings several components together, including the Bloomberg data and analytics tools, with predictive models from Tradebook, and provides traders the ability to optimize their trading methodologies in real-time while aiming towards improved execution.
The idea of adding In-Trade functionality was to provide traders with a window to see how the STAZ algorithms are working against the backdrop of the market, in real-time (in-trade) versus the previous version which only provided the pre-trade market impact analysis and post-trade cost analysis tools, among other features.
A trader could have market-data, predictive models, and order performance metrics on a single screen, according to a description in the press release, and now with in-trade features.
Combining such information is critical for any algorithmic focused trading platform where the info should be intuitively displayed on the forefront of the platform interface and not just hidden away within reports and statements – which can distract from trading. This task is even more challenging for a platform that handles a wide range of products, and information to display.
Market data without actionable insights is really just noise.
The company said that STAZ handles 3 billion ticks per day across 450,000 equity symbols, in order for it to help find trading opportunities on live market data. The product is available through the Bloomberg professional terminal under STAZ<Go>, and the company provides spot FX through its Tradebook Services LLC unit, according to the update.
Features of STAZ in-trade include the ability for traders to gauge execution metrics across various measurement points including, the bid, mid, ask, open auction, and closing auction prices, and block trading and dark venues.
Commenting in the official press release, Bloomberg Tradebook's Head of Algorithmic Trading Quantitative Research, Kapil Phadnis, said: "Market data without actionable insights is really just noise. STAZ In-Trade is helping traders extract these insights to make more informed decisions about their strategies."
"We're providing transparency into how algorithms operate, giving traders access to the information they need to adjust their trading strategies in real-time based on market conditions," he added.
While some institutional traders have their own proprietary platforms or technology operations for algorithmic trading in-house, and some have it outsourced, including co-located, in many cases it can be a mix of these, as setups are normally focused in a specific area, such as with strategies that are product/segment or instrument/industry specific, as a generalized example.
From that very diverse landscape of platform needs, whether at a proprietary shop or a fund manager or institutional investor, traders can scan the broad market and look for opportunities using both 3rd party platforms and/or in-house technology, so often may use a number of approaches, such as those available via a Bloomberg terminal, or Reuters platform.
The STAZ solution from Bloomberg Tradebook appears to cater to both sides of the spectrum – including traders that already have in-house solutions – as well as those that rely on or use 3rd party terminals. It would be interesting to compile any results from STAZ picked strategies across a sample of the product's users and compare on aggregate how those trades fared, for example against other automated or quantative strategies.

It was not too long ago that I first heard about a guy named Clark Little. His name popped out from viral massages on e mail addresses that were non related to surfing. As a search engine expert and web developer I noticed that Mr. Little knew what he was doing. Regardless of his fearless photography I can take off my hat for his marketing strategies. Clark little is know around here for his shore break surf photography of empty waves. In this video you will be able to see how this is done and how much shi@it you can take from getting tons of water on dry sand. Following this video there is another youtube vid where you will see where everything started... Keep em coming Clark!

León es un apellido español de origen leonés, de la ciudad y antiguo reino homónimos en España.
Es un apellido escaso pero extendido por España e Hispanoamérica.

Origen

Según Grixalba

Según el escritor Carlos Grixalba, en su Enciclopedia de heráldica (2005), el apellido León procede de las montañas de León, y descienden de Alfonso IX de León.

Según otros genealogistas

Otros genealogistas escriben que el apellido León tiene su origen en las montañas de León y que hubo un solar muy antiguo de este apellido en el lugar de Rioseco de Tapia, hoy perteneciente al partido judicial de León.
Luego se extendió por Asturias, Cantabria, ambas Castillas, Aragón, Valencia, Cataluña, Andalucía y Extremadura, de donde partió hacia América.

Posible origen francés
Existe un León recogido por el filólogo, historiador y teólogo suizo Jean-Jacques Hofmann en su Lexicon Universale (conservado en la Universidad de Mannheim) que señala que el apellido este tiene su origen en una rama de la Casa de Rohan (rohanaea), Vizcondes de Armórica, (actual Bretaña francesa), describiéndolo como «apellido de familia principal de la Galia».

Distribución

Chile

A Chile, el apellido León entró gracias a conquistadores españoles a inicios del siglo XVI. Pedro de León fue el primero de esta familia en establecerse, llegando en 1535 con la expedición de Pedro de Valdivia junto a su hermano Fernando. Ambos procedían de la región de La Mancha, en España. Sin embargo, ninguno dejó descendencia masculina, por lo que el apellido no prosperó.

Sin embargo, posteriormente llegó a Chile Juan de León, nacido en Sevilla. Dejó múltiple descendencia con su apellido, y de esta surgió además el linaje León de la Barra.
