Abstract: A moving cluster is defined by a set of objects that move close to each other for a long time interval. Real-life examples are a group of migrating animals, a convoy of cars moving in a city, etc. We study the discovery of moving clusters in a database of object trajectories. The difference of this problem compared to clustering trajectories and mining movement patterns is that the identity of a moving cluster remains unchanged while its location and content may change over time. For example, while a group of animals are migrating, some animals may leave the group or new animals may enter it. We provide a formal definition for moving clusters and describe three algorithms for their automatic discovery: (i) a straight-forward method based on the definition, (ii) a more efficient method which avoids redundant checks and (iii) an approximate algorithm which trades accuracy for speed by borrowing ideas from the MPEG-2 video encoding. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of our techniques and their applicability to large spatio-temporal datasets. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2005.

Hope and Change Hits Children Hardest

(Dave Carter is a contributor for Ricochet.com, a retired military veteran, and currently a long haul truck driver.)
After a really rough day spent piloting an 18 wheeler through New Jersey traffic, I was ready to begin an in-depth study of the inside of my eyelids when I saw this from USA Today:
One in 45 children in the USA — 1.6 million children — were living on the street, in homeless shelters or motels, or doubled up with other families last year, according to the National Center on Family Homelessness. The numbers represent a 33% increase from 2007, when there were 1.2 million homeless children, according to a report the center is releasing Tuesday.
Then I look at the real unemployment rate, which tops 11 percent when people whose unemployment benefits have expired are included (evidently in the official count, if you're not receiving handouts you don't get counted, which keeps the numbers lower than they really are), and it is little wonder that the number of homeless children has increased by a third. Then I see our President, who jet sets from one vacation resort to the next, who dines lavishly, whose White House now contains around 40 Christmas trees, whose family takes his and hers taxpayer-funded jets to and from Martha's vineyard, who occasionally rouses himself from the golf course and threatens to commit and act of governance against the lot of us, and who has the unmitigated gall, the unfettered nerve, and the stupid audacity to tell the people who hired him that they are soft, or lazy, or arrogant? Can we just pay him to stay on vacation and leave us alone?
I know I should keep it pithy, but quite honestly folks, stories like the one in USA Today leave me more than a little "pithed" off. Americans are the most industrious, the most innovative, the hardest working, and the most successful people on the planet, and that success is due directly to their status as a free people. Unshackle them, get the busybodies of government off their back, and watch them soar. I, for one, can't wait till 2012. In the interim, forget a sense of shame,…can't the President at least muster a sense of irony?

Luzhou, Wade-Giles romanization Lu-chou, city, southern Sichuan sheng (province), China. Luzhou is a river port at the junction of the Yangtze River (Chang Jiang) and the Tuo River. Its communications were further improved during World War II, when a highway was built south across the mountains to Kunming in Yunnan province to connect Sichuan to the Burma Road. Luzhou, although an ancient city, remained for a long time essentially a river port.
The first county there, Jiangyang, was founded in the 2nd century bce and became the seat of a commandery in 25 ce. Under the Sui dynasty (581–618) the county was renamed Luchuan and became the seat of Lu prefecture. This name was kept until 1912, when it became Lu county. Until the completion of the Chengdu-Neijiang-Chongqing-Yibin rail network in the mid-1950s, which bypassed the city, Luzhou was the main port outlet for such commodities as the salt and chemicals of Zigong, the sugar of Neijiang, and the agricultural goods of the region to the north. It was also a transshipment place for grain, tea, tobacco, hides, and meat from northern Yunnan. The completion of the railway has, however, taken away some of its former trade, which now goes directly to Chongqing by rail, while much of the export trade from Neijiang has been diverted to Yibin.
Luzhou's economic decline of the 1950s and '60s, however, turned around dramatically in the 1980s. A railway was built connecting the city with a major line between Chengdu (the provincial capital) and Chongqing, and an expressway linking the city with Chengdu and Chongqing was also completed. While remaining a major market and commercial centre for the densely peopled and fertile plain of the lower Tuo River, Luzhou also has developed industries manufacturing machines and fertilizers. It is also notable for its liquor distilleries, the products of which are known throughout China. Pop. (2002 est.) city, 404,626; (2007 est.) urban agglom., 1,537,000.

Wind harvester breeze
A Wind Harvester Could Power the Future of IoT with a Gentle Breeze
It may be low-cost and pocket-sized, but this innovative device could help power millions of IoT sensors in cities and the countryside.
Most green power solutions seek to generate large amounts of electricity to meet demand in the fight against global warming. However, some projects aim to harness more humble renewable energy sources to power sensors and wearables. If we recently talked about nighttime solar power, today it's the turn of wind power with a wind turbine that works with the slightest breeze. Welcome to the electricity of small things, a world in which the slightest vibration can power a device.
The wind harvester that loved the breeze
The world's most enormous wind turbines can reach 850 feet in height, and their electrical output is measured in megawatts. The prototype presented by scientists at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore pales in comparison: it is six inches high by eight inches wide and produces two hundred and ninety microwatts. But what's so special about it?
First, the Singapore prototype can operate in a breeze of just two meters per second. That's equivalent to a two on the Beaufort scale, the rating that measures wind intensity based on its observable effects. To put it in plain English, that's the bare minimum to feel a breeze on your face.
Secondly, along the lines of the bladeless wind turbines we discussed some time ago, the Singapore prototype is based on a similar technology. Instead of using a turbine, it relies on the vibration of its materials.
The device comprises low-cost parts made of copper, aluminum, and Teflon, together with an epoxy fiber body. The mechanism converts vibrations into electric current thanks to a long piece of aluminum foil that, like a trampoline, vibrates in the breeze. These vibrations generate an electric charge transmitted from the aluminum foil to the copper foil to generate a triboelectric effect.
The researchers found that the prototype generated enough energy to light forty LED bulbs in laboratory experiments with a four-meter-per-second breeze. This electric current was also enough to power a thermal sensor and send data wirelessly to a cell phone. The device has a rechargeable battery that stores energy when the air is still.
Urban... and countryside applications
The new wind harvester is designed for an era of sensors and IoT devices that, thanks to 5G technology, will be able to multiply exponentially and communicate instantaneously. One of the first applications that NTU scientists have conceived is to power sensors installed on the facade of buildings in environments such as the suburbs of Singapore, where the wind often blows at a speed below 2.5 m/s.
These sensors could measure aspects such as the temperature and health of the structure, air quality, or wind intensity, among other parameters. And not only in cities. Since the device is free of heavy metals or toxic materials, it is ideal for use in sensors installed in forests to warn of the danger of wildfires or other eventualities. When the equipment reaches the end of its useful life, it will not cause harmful effects on forests.
The trillion sensor challenge
In IoT developments, the concept of trillion-sensor systems applies to networks with countless interconnected devices. In ecological and logistical terms, it would be a nightmare if all of them were powered by batteries, as they would need to be recharged or replaced regularly. The key to meeting this challenge is employing technologies that harvest energy for each sensor. And that do so in a renewable way.
In this sense, one of the fundamental breakthroughs is triboelectric nanogenerators (TENG), usually made of organic materials. The first versions of these electrical systems were announced in 2012 and are devices capable of generating energy by transforming vibrations or mechanical pressure into electricity.
One of the latest examples of this technology comes from China. Scientists at Fuzhou University have announced a new version of TENG dubbed CS-TENG, which harnesses wind even at speeds of 2.3 m/s and has demonstrated its ability to power a water quality sensor.

Really? When did schools get into the empathy business?
But this official's admission illustrates how prevalent this belief is among educators. Educators have swung sharply from what most citizens believe schools should be doing, and that is imparting knowledge objectively and teaching students how to present written and oral arguments using logic and evidence.
But when schools emphasize feelings over knowledge and give students a false sense of accomplishment, they're not helping.
Real knowledge and a strong work ethic come from such things as memorization, rewards for correct answers, intellectually challenging reading, and standard-based math and writing, not from "brainstorming" in groups, or getting praise for unsupported opinions, impressionistic scribbling in journals or token acts of do-good-ism.
This is the femininization of the schools. They are now more concern with indoctrination than learning.
"They are not more concern with indoctrination than learning."


Hi my name is Sylvia, I am 10 years old and my nationality is Tongan. I like to dance and do active stuff. My goal is to make it to the top in my learning. I am a year 6 and my favourite subject at school is maths (sometimes). I like hanging out with my friends and family. I hope you enjoy my blog and check out the cool stuff that I've been creating .

Food and fun on the menu at FISH clubs
For the second year, holiday clubs supported by Norwich Foodbank have been running in several locations around the city – with both food and fun on the menu.
Helen Baldry reports.
School holidays can be a time of pressure on the family budget. Government provision of free school meals helps during term time, but hundreds of local families struggle to make ends meet in the holidays. Hunger is a reality for some families, which is where Food and Fun In School Holidays (FISH) clubs step in.
Over 680 meals have been served to children so far during the summer holidays in seven locations.
Hannah Worsley, Project Manager at Norwich Foodbank, has been delighted with the response of the community in getting behind FISH. Volunteers from churches, donations from the public, local businesses and food given from gardeners' allotments have meant that a hot, nutritious meal as been served at all of the clubs. Waitrose donated bread and bananas for families to take home with them. Hannah said, "This year the support has been good, if not even better than last year."
It's not just about food – low-cost entertainment is a challenge for parents during the holidays. One parent of a teenage boy explained that if the family has a day at home, their son will raid the cupboards and continuously eat so a good meal and fun activities at the FISH club is very welcome.
The clubs strive to provide excellent activities that the children wouldn't be able to do at home. Hannah said, "We didn't want to repeat all the same activities as last year and we were keen to offer some really engaging, exciting activities. "I didn't want it to be just art and craft or something they could do at home, I wanted it to be brilliant." The activities on offer haven't disappointed this year; amongst others, included Bollywood dance by Jayadance, CSI investigations by Right Angle Events and fossil hunting with The Little Story Telling Company. Parents report children return home buzzing from these new experiences.
The emphasis is as much on the activities as on the meal provided. Some families might feel a bit patronised if they are invited for a free lunch – and suspect a ulterior motive from a church - but they feel more comfortable going along to advertised activities – and enjoy the meal beforehand.
More parents have stayed at sessions this year, which organisers have been pleased about. Hannah said, "We've served more parent meals this year. More food is cooked than needed so parents can enjoy a meal if they want to stay. If the children are going hungry then the parents definitely will be. It's nice to be able to offer parent s cup of coffee, a piece of cake and a break while the children are occupied."
Although a Norwich Foodbank project, it is very much up to the church and community to deliver the clubs. Andy Eyre, Youth and Children's Pastor at Norwich Central Baptist Church led the club on August 19 at George White Middle School. Andy said, "The club is a real practical demonstration of God's love."
Hannah has been encouraged by the media coverage in the EDP, Mustard TV and BBC Radio Norfolk – rather than dwelling on the acute situation of some families, the coverage has been positive about the action FISH clubs have taken to alleviate a negative position for families.
A lot of the problems occur because of poor budgeting. In fact a budget advisor goes to the Foodbank distribution centre and she is always inundated with questions. Hannah said 'One of the main reasons for referrals to foodbank is debt and this can often be attributed to problems with budgeting.'
"It's sad that it is needed. However, FISH clubs have a Christian ethos; we are serving wherever we need to and we are fulfilling our duty in a practical way."

CRAC Channel Biology
Pipeline Overview
Auxora
CalciMedica Raises $15 Million in Series C Financing Round Led by Valence Life Sciences
Funds to support ongoing clinical trials in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and commercial manufacturing of Auxora™
LA JOLLA, Calif., May 22, 2020 – CalciMedica Inc. ("CalciMedica" or the "Company), a clinical-stage biotechnology company targeting calcium release-activated calcium (CRAC) channels for the treatment of acute and severe inflammatory diseases, today announced it has raised $15 million in a Series C financing round. The round was led by Valence Life Sciences, LLC with participation from new investors Bering Capital, Mesa Verde Venture Partners and existing investor Sanderling Ventures.
"The funds from this Series C financing will go towards advancing ongoing clinical trials evaluating our CRAC channel inhibitor, Auxora (formerly CM4620-IE), in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia requiring oxygen therapy and accelerating commercial manufacturing for the drug," said Rachel Leheny, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of CalciMedica. "Based on ongoing studies in severe COVID-19 patients, we believe Auxora has the potential to prevent the progression of such patients to mechanical ventilation by acting directly on the lung endothelium and by blocking systemic inflammation. We are encouraged that Valence Life Sciences shares in our desire and commitment to making this fast-acting therapy accessible to patients with COVID-19."
Eric Roberts, founding managing director of Valence Life Sciences, added, "As investors, we are always looking for companies that have a strong management team advancing a drug candidate that is critical for patients and can really make a difference. We think CalciMedica's Auxora fits that description, with the potential to play a role in combating COVID-19, as well as other acute care diseases, like acute pancreatitis, for which it is also advancing in the clinic."
Proceeds from the financing will enable the Company to advance its lead drug candidate, Auxora, a potent and selective small molecule CRAC channel inhibitor that prevents CRAC channel overactivation, while also supporting general corporate purposes. It has been shown that CRAC channel overactivation can cause pulmonary endothelial damage and cytokine storm in COVID-19. The ongoing open-label randomized controlled clinical study is evaluating patients with severe COVID-19 pneumonia on low-flow oxygen therapy in one study arm and patients with critical COVID-19 pneumonia on high-flow oxygen therapy in a second study arm. However, following a strong recommendation from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, the severe arm of the study is shifting to a blinded, placebo-controlled design, with patients randomized 1:1 to receive Auxora plus standard of care or standard of care alone. Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Minnesota, Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit and additional sites across the U.S have been dosing severe and critical COVID-19 pneumonia patients with Auxora under an Investigational New Drug program (IND).
For more details on the clinical study, visit clinicaltrials.gov.
About Auxora™ (formerly CM4620-IE)
Auxora is a potent and selective small molecule inhibitor of CRAC channels. CRAC channels are found on many cell types, including lung endothelium cells, pancreatic acinar cells and immune system cells, where aberrant activation of these channels may play a key role in the pathobiology of acute and chronic inflammatory syndromes. Auxora is an investigational drug being developed for use in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia and for use in patients with acute pancreatitis and accompanying SIRS. In addition, CalciMedica is exploring other acute indications for Auxora such as viral pneumonia, acute lung injury, ARDS, and acute kidney injury.
About CalciMedica, Inc.
CalciMedica is a privately-held, clinical stage biotechnology company focused on CRAC channel drug discovery and development for the treatment of acute and chronic inflammatory diseases. CRAC channels control the entry of calcium into immune and other cell types, and calcium is an important intracellular signaling molecule that modulates normal cellular function but can be detrimental when levels are too high. CalciMedica is headquartered in San Diego, CA. For more information, please visit the company website at www.calcimedica.com.

Vegetables production worldwide by type 2017
Global production of vegetables in 2017, by type (in million metric tons)
by M. Shahbandeh, last edited Jan 28, 2019
This graph shows the global vegetable production in 2017, broken down by type. In that year, approximately 182 million metric tons of tomatoes were produced worldwide.
The term vegetable refers to an edible part of a plant which can be consumed raw or cooked. Eating vegetables is beneficial to one's health—they are the main sources of nutrients such as vitamins A and C, potassium, folic acid and dietary fiber. Dietary fiber from vegetables aids in reducing cholesterol levels, lowers the risk of heart disease and is also essential for digestion. People who consume more fruit and vegetables as part of a healthy and balanced diet are more likely to reduce the risk of several chronic diseases.
In 2014, maize was the most commonly produced vegetable worldwide, contributing over 1.04 billion metric tons to the global vegetable production. That year, Asia accounted for more than three-fourths of the world vegetable production. In 2013, China was the largest producer of fresh vegetables with a production value of approximately 25.25 billion U.S. dollars. Other leading vegetable-producing countries include India, Vietnam, Nigeria and Philippines.
In the United States, California was the largest producer of fresh market vegetables in 2014. The state also produced around 14.15 million tons of principal vegetables for processing during the same period. In 2016, store sales of packaged salad in the U.S. averaged 4,017 U.S. dollars per week. Tomatoes were the second most sold vegetable produce category, followed by potatoes and other cooking vegetables.

Banff and Jasper campground recommendations?
We'll be travelling to Banff and Jasper parks next summer in a Hurricane 29M (Class A towing a Jeep Cherokee).
Any campground or route recommendations or cautions?
No experience with campgrounds in Banff but be prepared to see lots of deer there. We stayed at the Banff Springs Hotel there and walked in to town one evening. Don't know it it was a seasonal thing or what but there were hundreds of deer literally every in town, just wandering around, in and out of traffic, peoples lawns, everywhere. Natives said it was a regular thing but I've never seen anything like it before or since. Enjoy your stay there.

Hang Seng Bank is in no doubt what it is here for and who it serves – no small fact in an age when many lenders struggle for a sense of identity and direction.
Its parent HSBC Holdings is the big global name, but Hang Seng Bank, led by chief executive Louisa Cheang, is Hong Kong's bank, and its 10,000-plus full-time employees serve at least half of the city's adult residents through more than 270 branches. Loved by customers and respected by peers, it is integral to what makes Hong Kong what it is, a city crammed with world-class manufacturing and service firms, many based over the border.
Net interest income at its commercial banking division, which supports an army of innovative small and medium-sized enterprises, rose 15% in 2017 to $900 million, with operating profit up 18%. Its mainland operations now include 50 branches, mostly in the Pearl River Delta and Shanghai, a fund management joint venture and a securities investment advisory outfit.
Its market capitalization hit $48 billion in May 2018, buoyed by a share price flirting with the HK$200 ($25) mark and ensuring a place on the list of the world's 50 largest lenders. Its finances are in great shape; it reported record operating profit in 2017 of HK$23.5 billion, up 24% year on year, and net interest income of HK$24.6 billion. Its wealth management business continues to grow, with income jumping 33% in 2017, to HK$8.8 billion.
It is also one of the most stable banks around, solid and generous to shareholders. Hang Seng Bank boasted a tier-1 capital ratio of 17.7% at the end of 2017, and a return on equity and assets of 14.2% (against 12.6% a year ago) and 1.4% (up from 1.2%), respectively.
Bank of China, the most international of Beijing's big-four state lenders, put down an important marker in 1998 when it founded BOC International. While wholly owned by its parent, the outfit was based in Hong Kong and international in nature and focus.
It assembled an award-winning research team and hired investment bankers with plenty of moxie. Where BOC International continues to excel is in its ability to secure valued and valuable roles on chunky Hong Kong stock offerings by leading mainland firms.
It was a bookrunner on China Literature's heavily oversubscribed $1.1 billion initial stock sale in November 2017 – a deal that helped to put the bank in the top 10 for Asia ex-Japan investment banking fee revenues last year. The IPO proved so hot that shares in the e-book unit of digital giant Tencent rocketed 82% on the first day of trading.
Its M&A division is increasingly influential in Hong Kong and mainland China and is set to become a global force as it leverages to the full its international network of 55 subsidiaries and partnerships with financial institutions.
This is a financial institution that always sees the big picture. In 2017, it signed an agreement with CME Group to expand the international use of China's currency, the renminbi. And in January 2018, it inked a strategic alliance with Jefferies to provide investment banking advisory and capital markets services to customers globally.
Excellence in digital banking is not easy. Many lenders struggle to adapt to an era where everyone is online, but where some customers still covet the personal touch.
Bank of East Asia, set to turn 100 years old next year, has pondered this quandary long and hard. Its solution has been to bring in new technology in stages, ensuring that it is with its clientele every step of the way.
An inaugural digital pop-up branch a few years ago, installed in the landmark IFC building, was "so much favoured by customers," says deputy chief executive Adrian Li, that BEA decided to overhaul its entire branch network.
Existing branches are gutted and rebuilt over a long weekend, emerging to resemble high-end retail stores. The tellers remain during normal opening hours, but the number in each branch is cut to three from seven or more. New 'i-Counter' screens offer direct communication with staff located in Kwun Tong, from 9am to 8pm Monday to Sunday.
Trained personnel help customers browse products, download forms and apply digitally for loans and credit cards, using technology developed in-house, says head of personal banking Vincent Hui.
Bank of East Asia's investment in digital has helped to prune its physical network to 70 branches, from 88, though some new branches are opening in malls and train stations, where Hong Kongers spend a large portion of their lives.
This has bolstered BEA's bottom line, with the bank attracting wealthier customers, who invest and deposit more with the lender. And BEA continues to innovate, launching a popular and ever-evolving mobile app, and rolling out a secure integrated platform, the 'i-Planner', which caters to customers' financial and lifestyle needs.
Bank of China (Hong Kong) is one of just three commercial lenders allowed to issue bank notes denominated in Hong Kong dollars. Since its consolidation as a single entity in 2001, it has become a mainstay of the local financial system. It's current vice-chair and chief executive is Yingxin Gao.
A pioneer in blockchain, it is innovative and bold and big, with more than 200 branches dotted around the city. But it has also become one of the best banks in Asia – maybe one of the best anywhere – in the field of corporate social responsibility.
A member of the Hang Seng Corporate Sustainability Index for eight straight years, its charitable foundation donated HK$200 million ($25 million) in 2017 to 28 projects ranging from youth development and education to environmental protection and poverty alleviation.
The bank's ability to blend technology with its CSR commitments shines through when it uses fintech to provide access to high-quality banking services to residents from poorer and more remote regions. The roll out last year of its BOC Caring ATM Card, which waives minimum monthly balance fees and ATM card charges for local dollar savings accounts, was designed expressly to help the underprivileged and the elderly.
And Bank of China (Hong Kong)'s Environmental Leadership Awards, with its aim of encouraging manufacturers and services firms from Hong Kong and the Pearl River Delta region to cut waste and tackle pollution, has become a big hit since its launch in 2015. Last year, as part of its award process, 600 companies completed 1,388 green projects, eliminating four million tonnes of waste and recycling 460,000 tonnes of materials.
Piyush Gupta has transformed Singapore's DBS Group since his arrival as chief executive in 2009. Its regional wealth management business has flourished, while a hefty investment in technology has paid off handsomely. The lender has also become a regional leader in small and medium-sized enterprise banking, providing world-class financial services to firms ranging from sole proprietors to medium-sized firms with annual revenues of up to S$200 million ($150 million).
Hong Kong is a market awash with highly investable smaller enterprises and well-run SME-focused lenders, yet DBS, by investing well and wisely, has emerged at the head of the pack. It reported a 17% rise in SME banking revenues in Hong Kong in 2017, while welcoming 12,400 new SMEs into its fold, taking its total to 75,300, or nearly a quarter of all Hong Kong enterprises.
Many of those brought on board last year were acquired thanks to its burgeoning digital channels, highlighting the importance of its long-standing dedication to technology. DBS Hong Kong's seven SME-dedicated branches and 24 retail outlets provide smaller firms with a one-stop shop for everything from commercial insurance and express account opening to trade bills and remittance instructions.
DBS's ability to take the long view is apparent, not least when it comes to its willingness to hold events that increase contact with its customer base and help clients interact with and learn lessons from a fast-changing world. A case in point is the bank's quarterly 'Industry disrupt events', which help SMEs adapt to and benefit from the latest emerging technologies and market developments: clever ideas from a clever bank.
It's easy to forget how long Citi has been in Asia and how deep its roots go. Its direct forerunner, The National City Bank of New York, opened its inaugural Hong Kong office in 1902.
An important client in its early years was the Fung family, co-founders of Li & Fung, now a global logistics giant. In 2017, Citi led a $1.1 billion divestment of three of the firm's divisions, to a consortium comprising Fung Group and Beijing-based Hony Capital.
Another core customer, CK Hutchison, has been busy over the last year as well, leaning on the US banking group's advice and capital reserves to issue a $2.2 billion bond.
Elsewhere, a 200-plus team of dedicated professionals, led by Christopher Laskowski, head of Hong Kong corporate and investment banking, and Weber Lo, country officer and chief executive, Hong Kong and Macau, have helped mainland property group Evergrande complete a $2.3 billion convertible bond, the largest Asia ex-Japan issuance since 2001. They also completed a slew of big IPOs, including two in November 2017, when car retailer Yixin Group raised $868 million and garment maker Crystal International raised $512 million. A $670 million issue by fixed-line telecoms operator WTT HK, also in November, marked the largest-ever bond market debut by a Hong Kong-based high-yield corporate. Over the 12 months to the end of March 2018, Citi ranked second in debt capital markets bookrunning, third in equity and equity-linked sales, and fifth in M&A.
Its chief executive is Angel Ng.
Much has changed over the last century, but Citi's importance to Hong Kong, and Hong Kong's importance to Citi has not.
When a financial institution can claim to provide private banking services to more than half of the billionaires on the Forbes Hong Kong rich list, you know it is doing well.
Credit Suisse, a name synonymous with excellence in private banking, has had a representative office here since 1969, converting to a full banking licence 11 years later. Since then, it has been a consistent pioneer in high-end wealth management, scooping regular honours including Euromoney's award for Asia's best bank for wealth management in 2017. Francois Monnet is the current head of private banking Greater China.
Also last year, it launched Credit Suisse Invest, the first of its kind in Asia, a "human-led, digitally enabled" advisory service that offers bespoke wealth management services to high net-worth and ultra-high net-worth clients. The service is available only at the bank's two regional booking centres, one of which is in Hong Kong, underlining how vital the city is to the Swiss outfit.
The bank continues to find new ways to make itself valuable and relevant to clients in Hong Kong and across Asia. In 2017, it formed a single Wealth Planning Services team that offers one-stop financial advice for issues relating to everything from trust and estate advisory to family office services and philanthropy.

Talk is not cheap: Microsoft adds $23B to market cap on rumors of Office for iPad
Microsoft's share price cracked $40, setting an 11-year high in trading on Thursday.
Gregg Keizer March 21, 2014
Computerworld US
The company's shares closed at $40.33, up nearly 3% for the day. The last time Microsoft was above $40 was in February 2003, just before its last stock split.
Most Wall Street analysts have pegged the climb in Microsoft shares to news earlier this week that CEO Satya Nadella, who took over from Steve Ballmer six weeks ago, will lead a March 27 press conference that will be "focused on the intersection of cloud and mobile computing," a phrase reminiscent of his first day's message to employees, customers and investors that he would make Microsoft a "mobile-first, cloud-first" company.
Along with that news, speculation started that Nadella would use the event to announce Office on the iPad, and put an end to years of talk about whether -- and if so, when -- the company would dump its strategy of linking the productivity suite with Windows in an effort to bolster the latter's chances on tablets.
Wall Street has been clamoring for Microsoft to bring Office to the iPad, believing that the move would unlock billions in revenue for the Redmond, Wash. company. Activist investment firm ValueAct used that argument last year, along with others, to pressure Microsoft to give it a seat on the company's board of directors.
Microsoft added G. Mason Morfit, president of ValueAct Capital, to the board last week, fulfilling its part of a deal struck last year to fend off a proxy fight.
Shares have surged 7% since last Friday's closing, increasing Microsoft's market capitalization to $336 billion, an increase of approximately $23 billion in just four days.
Ironically, the man who last year said that Office on the iPad would appear only after a touch-first version launched for Windows 8.1, and who dragged his feet for years over whether to pull the iPad trigger, benefited substantially from the increase in share value.
Former CEO Steve Ballmer's Microsoft portfolio of 332 million-and-change shares were worth $876.5 million more at the close bell Thursday than they were last Friday.
Microsoft's share price has climbed 7% since last week, largely, say analysts, on the basis of talk the company will announce Office for Apple's iPad next week.

B.C. anti-COVID mandate rally sees renewed support as thousands gather at legislature

Thousands gathered on the grounds of the B.C. legislature for another rally on March 5 opposing pandemic-related mandates. (Megan Atkins-Baker/News Staff)
The grounds of the B.C. legislature were home to another rally calling for the end of pandemic-related mandates on Saturday (March 5) – the busiest event Victoria has seen yet as thousands congregated.
Protesters held signs that read 'what about debate?' and 'say no to vaccine passports.'
An organization called We Unify Canada helped to organize a substantial lineup of speakers at the Saturday event.
Anna Kindy, a physician from Campbell River who had the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, told Black Press Media before her speech that she has never seen so much division in society.
"Some people have been injured by these vaccines and don't want to get a second one – but if they don't get the second one, they could lose their job," she said. "Many doctors are not losing their job due to incompetence, they're losing their jobs for their right to choose – they've done an analysis of the risks versus benefits and have decided for themselves they don't want to be vaccinated – and we should all be allowed that choice."
A total of 80,794,153 vaccine doses have been administered in Canada as of Feb. 25, according to Health Canada. Adverse reactions have been reported by 40,011 people, which is about five out of every 10,000 people vaccinated. Of the people who reported side effects, only 8,415 were considered serious (0.010 per cent of all doses administered).
A large police presence was on scene directing the flow of traffic and the Victoria Police Department tweeted, "safe, peaceful, lawful protest is protected by the Charter. Dangerous and/or unlawful acts will be met with de-escalation and enforcement."
Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry said that the COVID-19 situation in B.C. is improving "rapidly" at a Tuesday (March 1) press conference.
As a result, British Columbians may see COVID-19 health orders ease by March 14.
Henry said that B.C. has noticed a trend in COVID cases declining during the warmer months when more people are outside. However, she cautioned that COVID cases could surge again in the fall.

Asset Management & Investment Funds: Irish Practice Developments: Dec 2019
Some Approaching Compliance Deadlines
31 December 2019. Corporate Governance – completion of reviews of board and individual director performance. Under the Irish Funds Corporate Governance Code, the overall board's performance and that of individual members must be reviewed annually with a formal documented review and a review of the chairperson taking place at least once every three years.
31 December 2019. Anti-Money Laundering/Counter Terrorist Financing - collective investment schemes and management companies should be aware of the regulatory expectation to offer training to their boards on the law relating to AML/CTF on an annual basis (and at such other times as may be appropriate). Boards should consider guideline 6.6 of the Central Bank of Ireland Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism Guidelines for the Financial Sector in the context of reviewing the AML/CTF policy and ensuring that it receives appropriate confirmations from relevant persons, as appropriate.
31 December 2019. Business Plan/Programme of Activity - UCITS ManCos, self-managed UCITS, AIFMs and internally managed AIFs, where they have not already done so, may need to complete their annual performance review on service providers. They should also:
obtain annual confirmations from service providers and relevant persons in accordance with their business plan/programme of activity
complete onsite visits with service providers
ensure adoption of valuation policy
make disclosure in respect of connected party transactions
31 December 2019. Fitness & Probity - RFSPs, where they have not already done so, will need to obtain their annual certification from persons performing PCFs (e.g. directors) and CFs (e.g. money laundering reporting officer and company secretary) that they are aware of the Fitness and Probity Standards (the Standards), agree to continue to abide by those Standards and will notify the board if they no longer comply. This forms part of ongoing performance monitoring set out in Section 22 of the Guidance on Fitness and Probity Standards.
31 January/28 February 2020. Fitness & Probity - RFSPs will need to submit their annual PCF Confirmation Return to the CBI. The submission due date for the annual PCF Confirmation Return (for the year ending 31 December 2019) for UCITS ManCos and for AIFMs is 31 January 2020. The submission due date for investment funds will likely be 28 February 2020. The current annual PCF Confirmation Return and associated reporting date and submission deadline for each entity will be detailed on the ONR system.
The Annual PCF Confirmation Return is made via the ONR system and involves a mandatory declaration to confirm that the CEO or equivalent, has confirmed in writing that:
the RFSP has brought the Standards to the attention of all PCFs
the RFSP is satisfied on reasonable grounds that all PCFs comply with the Standards
the written agreement of all PCFs to abide by the Standards has been obtained
all necessary due diligence has occurred
the RFSP will investigate any fitness and probity concerns, take appropriate action and notify the CBI of any action taken without delay
31 January 2020. UCITS ManCo and AIFM ownership confirmation - UCITS ManCos and AIFMs need to file the annual ownership confirmation by 31 January 2020.
19 February 2020. UCITS KIID/ PRIIPs KID - A UCITS must update its KIID on an annual basis for each sub-fund / standalone fund within 35 business days of the end of each calendar year. The annual update of the KIID must be filed no later than 19 February 2020 (where required). Any update to the KIID filed with the CBI must be translated (as necessary), filed in any other host jurisdictions where the UCITS is registered to market its shares and uploaded on the UCITS' website. AIFs which have issued a PRIIPs KID must review KIDs regularly, when there is a significant change, and at least annually. The KID must be revised as necessary. Unlike the UCITS KIID, there is no annual refresh deadline. UCITS are currently exempt from the obligation to produce a PRIIPs KID until 31 December 2021.
28 February 2020. Fund Profile Return - The annual CBI Fund Profile Return is required for each sub-fund of an Irish authorised fund and each standalone fund. It is to be prepared for the period up to 31 December 2019, with a submission deadline (via the ONR) of 28 February 2020. The CBI does not anticipate that the fund profile will change from year to year, as changes would most probably reflect changes within the fund's offering documents. Therefore, year-to-year updates to the fund profile are expected to be minimal and reflect significant changes. The CBI issued guidance and a template.
31 March 2020. Thematic review of closet indexing - CBI requires documentation updates triggered by its thematic review of closet indexing to be completed by 31 March 2020.
31 March 2020. MMFR quarterly reporting - MMF managers must send their first quarterly reports to national regulators by the end of Q1 2020 (as clarified by ESMA).
The above list does not cover tax, FATCA or CRS filings, ad hoc filings (such as regulatory reports) or filings of annual accounts (and related documents which include any annual FDI Return) and semi-annual accounts or other similar returns which deadlines vary to reflect the particular entity's year end. By way of example, the Companies (Accounting) Act 2017 obliges UCITS investment companies and AIF investment companies to file annual accounts with the CRO within eleven months of their financial year end.
CBI Christmas and year-end deadlines for:
The CBI issued its Christmas and year-end deadlines for:
fund and sub-fund applications that have pre-Christmas or pre year-end approval deadlines including self-managed/internally managed investment company/ICAV applications
approval of post-authorisation amendments that have pre-Christmas or pre year-end approval or noting deadlines

CBI Supervisory Priorities for 2020
Michael Hodson, CBI Director of Asset Management and Investment Banking delivered a speech entitled Resilience in the face of changing winds on 3 December 2020.
Mr Hodson discussed the changing landscape of the asset management sector, the evolution of supervision and supervisory convergence. Mr Hodson also identified CBI supervisory priorities for 2020 which included:
Implementation of the new bespoke prudential regime for investment firms, the Investment Firms Regulation and Investment Firms Directive (also discussed under EU & International Developments). The new bespoke regime aims to be an appropriate, tailored and proportionate prudential regime that will categorise investment firms based on their nature, scale and complexity. Critically each category of investment firm will have a differing set of requirements in respect of reporting, capital, liquidity, remuneration etc.
A review of the Irish Client Asset Regime (CAR). The review is considering broadening the scope of the CAR to include credit institutions. CBI intends to engage with industry through consultation, particularly on any revisions to the CAR. Credit institutions can therefore expect further engagement from the Client Asset Specialist Team, as the team seeks clarity around the governance and operational arrangements that impact on client assets
Continued focus on the market based finance sector domiciled here in Ireland. "We will therefore continue to work towards ensuring that the market-based finance is monitored appropriately and that the actual risks from non-banks are understood"
On-going supervision work. "I would argue that it is the single most important body of work that we undertake as regulators." CBI supervision work will continue in 2020 across a number of areas including but not limited to:
the conclusion of the thematic review on fund management company effectiveness
further consultation work on errors in investment funds
a focus on liquidity risk and leverage in the non-banking sector both of which remain important issues on the CBI's agenda
the engagement meetings and full risk assessments that supervised entities have come to expect in line with the CBI's risk-based approach to supervision
