"We believe Corinthian lured in consumers with lies about their job prospects upon graduation, sold high-cost loans to pay for that false hope, and then harassed students for overdue debts while they were still in school," said Richard Cordray, director of the federal government's Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which filed Tuesday's lawsuit.
In a statement, Corinthian Colleges said the lawsuit focuses on "isolated incidents" at its campuses that "violated company policy."
"The complaint ignores clear, easily obtainable evidence that thousands of Corinthian graduates are hired in permanent positions by large and small employers across the U.S. every year," the statement said. The company said the private loans criticized in the lawsuit are obtained by less than 40 percent of students, and that the interest rate on those loans is not as high as the lawsuit claims.
Corinthian is in the midst of winding down its operations — the U.S. Department of Education has ordered the company to sell or close its campuses in six months. The federal government says Corinthian "has admitted to falsifying placement rates and/or grade and attendance records at various institutions."
Cordray's consumer-protection agency — created in 2010 after the nation's financial meltdown — has increasingly been scrutinizing for-profit colleges. Many of the complaints against Corinthian, such as lying to prospective students, have been documented at a variety of for-profit schools.
In February, the agency filed a lawsuit against ITT Educational Services, alleging predatory lending practices.
The ITT suit is still pending. The new lawsuit's allegations against Corinthian include:
▪ Corinthian attracted new students by advertising its high job-placement statistics, but those numbers were often bogus. Corinthian would count a former student as having been employed even if they worked only one day. Additionally, "school employees created fictitious employers and reported students as having been placed with those fake employers."
▪ Corinthian lied to accrediting agencies and listed 70 unemployed graduates as employed. At another campus, Corinthian listed 366 students as self-employed — a suspiciously high number considering other campuses had only three or four self-employed graduates.
▪ The tuition and fees charged by Corinthian were so high — as much as $75,384 for a bachelor's program — that Pell grants and federal student loans were not enough to cover them. So Corinthian steered students into additional debt through its in-house loans. Those loans had interest rates as high as 14.9 percent, with an origination fee of 6 percent. More than 60 percent of students receiving those loans eventually defaulted on them.
▪ Students typically don't have to make loan payments while in school, but Corinthian frequently demanded that its students pay while attending classes. Students who could not pay were publicly shamed by being removed from class. This humiliating practice was so common that one financial-aid employee earned the nickname the "Grim Reaper." Students behind on their loan payments were also locked out of the school computer system, and prevented from graduating.
In the past decade, enrollment at for-profit colleges has grown tremendously — particularly in Florida. In the 2002-03 school year, for-profits enrolled almost 9 percent of Florida students.
A decade later, that number has shot up to almost 18 percent, compared to roughly 12 percent nationally, according to an analysis by the Institute for College Access & Success.
Florida lawmakers have welcomed the industry's expansion, even as the schools were criticized for the heavy debts they leave students, and the questionable career value of their degrees.
Right now, with Corinthian under a legal cloud, its colleges continue to operate — and to recruit new students. Federal education officials could have ordered an immediate shutdown, but did not. Instead, the company was allowed six months to find buyers for its campuses.
A few states, including Florida, no longer allow Corinthian to enroll students who are military veterans. But only two states — Minnesota and Illinois — have banned the sign-up of any new students, said the National Consumer Law Center.
Robyn Smith, an attorney who works with that consumer group, called on Florida and other states to join in banning new enrollments. With Corinthian in turmoil, Smith cited media reports in which one student complained of having four different instructors in one week.
"It makes you wonder what kind of education the new students are getting," Smith said.

Mannatech's Asia MannaFest℠ Event Fuels Company Momentum
Mannatech is hosting its annual Asia MannaFest event at Olympic Park Handball Stadium on October 15 at 1 p.m. KST, where thousands of its independent sales Associates from the region will gather and experience the excitement of the company's complete rebrand and launch of several new health and wellness products.
Mannatech unveiled its global rebrand in April in the U.S., and at Asia MannaFest, Mannatech's largest gathering of Associates, many will share that excitement that began with the reveal. In addition to launching a new wave of enthusiasm throughout Asia, Mannatech will be launching two new products, as well as recognizing its top Asia leaders for their dedication to transforming their lives through their Mannatech business.
"This event is critical because it continues the momentum and excitement we started when we revealed our new brand and product offerings at our global MannaFest event in April," said Alfredo "Al" Bala, Mannatech's CEO and President. "Asia is Mannatech's fastest-growing market, and this will help energize the thousands of entrepreneurs who will attend the event and take our story of health and wellness to the world. We are also thrilled to be launching two new products that will help children receive better health, and we cannot wait to recognize our leaders in Asia who have been a powerhouse behind the growth in our region."
The new products focus on children's health, including MultiKids™ supplement, a natural strawberry-flavored children's chewable multi-vitamin that includes multiple vitamins and minerals that are naturally sourced, as well as fruit and vegetable powders. Utilizing Mannatech's Glyconutritional technology, MultiKids also contains ginseng, colostrum and pro-biotics to help support a healthy immune system. The vitamins and minerals included in MultiKids are required for the formation of bones and teeth, visual adaptation to the dark and carbohydrate and energy metabolism.
The second product launching at Asia MannaFest is MegaKids™ supplement, an omega-3 dietary supplement fortified with Vitamin D, naturally flavored in orange and lemon. MegaKids helps provide an abundance of omega-3 fatty acids in order to support cardiovascular and bone health, while helping maintain a healthy immune system. Formulated with Mannatech's Glyconutrition, MegaKids may help improve blood circulation and blood triglyceride levels, and the vitamins included are required for the formation of bones.
Mannatech will also be recognizing its newest rising leaders in Asia by presenting the business builder of the year, rising star, highest income growth and top enroller awards during its recognition ceremony. It will also announce its top five winners of the TruHealth Master Challenge, which recognizes participants who have improved their body composition index, lowering their body fat and increasing lean muscle using the company's breakthrough fat-loss system, TruHealth™.

Lack of progressive hepatic fibrosis during long-term therapy with deferiprone in subjects with transfusion-dependent beta-thalassemia Academic Article
Patients with thalassemia major require lifelong chelation therapy to prevent iron-induced organ damage. The orally active chelator deferiprone has been proposed as an alternative for patients unable or unwilling to use deferoxamine. One report has concluded that deferiprone may worsen hepatic fibrosis in patients with thalassemia, whereas others have found no detrimental effect. A panel of 3 pathologists evaluated 112 coded liver biopsies obtained from 56 patients before and after deferiprone therapy. Fibrosis was scored with the Laennec and Ishak systems. The mean interval between liver biopsies was 3.1 years (range, 1.2-4.9 years). In 11 patients seronegative for hepatitis C, fibrosis scores before and after therapy were 1.12 +/- 1.07 and 0.97 +/- 0.84 (P =.42) with the use of the Ishak system, and 0.71 +/- 0.65 and 0.70 +/- 0.53 (P =.91) with the Laennec system. Among 45 patients seropositive for hepatitis C, fibrosis scores before and after therapy were 1.91 +/- 1.13 and 2.04 +/- 1.30 (P =.43) with the use of the Ishak system and 1.26 +/- 0.73 and 1.35 +/- 0.90 (P =.41) with the Laennec system. When the data set was limited to biopsies that each contained 6 or more portal tracts (31 patients), analysis still showed no significant change in fibrosis with time. With the use of the Laennec system, the fibrosis score did not increase by more than one level in any patients without hepatitis C; it increased by more than one level in 1 patient with hepatitis C; and it did not decrease by more than one level in any of the 56 patients. This analysis of the largest collection of liver biopsies reported to date in patients receiving deferiprone demonstrates no evidence of deferiprone-induced progression of hepatic fibrosis during long-term therapy.

Why do we do what we do?
Topeng Monyet – uncovering the circus
Posted byjacquioleary September 11, 2020 Posted inUncategorized
The boy tugged viciously at the chain around the monkey's neck. It cowered and whimpered in pain. He sniggered and exchanged amused looks with his companion. The children were no more than 10 years old.
Pictured: The monkey clutches desperately at the chain around his neck
The monkey nervously touched the chain embedded in its neck. A grotesque doll's head covered its face, which had the eyes hollowed out. The brown eyes seemed eerily human behind the mask and seemed to look at me pleadingly.
Repulsed, I immediately looked away. My friends and I quickened our pace and walked on, but I found myself unable to resist looking back. Pity for the poor creature filled me, but I was also angry.
I had been in Jakarta for less than a week. I was on a university placement and my friends and I were on our way to class. We took the same route every day, but this was the first time I had seen Topeng Monyet – the monkey circus.
I walked past that monkey quickly as I was keen to get some distance between us.
Known as Topeng Monyet (translated as masked monkey) it is the duty of the monkey to perform common tricks and interact with a series of props, in order to entertain an audience. Whatever the theme of the show may be, the humiliation of the animal is obvious as it is forced to ride in carts, don revolting masks, beg for money or even lick the butt of a filthy cigarette that is thrown at the monkey's feet.
Unfortunately this kind of thing is a common sight on the streets of Jakarta and while locals celebrate the hilarity of the travelling monkey circus, Westerners cannot deny that painful gut reaction.
The more time you spend on the streets of Jakarta, it is necessary for one's sanity to become hardened to sights such as this.
Pictured: The Topeng Monyet show has many props that are used for performing
As a Westerner visiting poverty stricken places such as this, that's all you can do when you see a sick mother on the busway bridge with her dying baby lying next to her. You walk on by and try not to let it smack you in the face too hard.
Or the man who is lying on the street in a pile of blood, not moving, and barely breathing. It knocks the wind out of you and rattles you, badly. But you have to force yourself to remain separate from these emotions that threaten your stability in this foreign place. Indonesia is not Australia after all, and it would be unfair to compare it in any way.
Poverty is a problem – a massive problem. There is nothing one-sided when you look at the reasoning behind an issue such as animal tourism. So much needs to be taken into account.
There is a certain fascination about the Topeng Monyet in Indonesia. Upon mentioning these two words, many local Indonesians squeal in delight, possibly recalling fond memories from their youth.
It makes me wonder what it would be like for them to revisit the Topeng Monyet as an adult. Would the same wonder and excitement creep across their anticipating faces as the Topeng Monyet Monkey Circus rolls on by?
I had to find out.
I spoke to a colleague and friend, 27-year-old Rani Trisna, of Kamung, Indonesia, about her recollections of Topeng Monyet.
She remembers seeing the show as a child, maybe more than eight times.
"At the time I found it amusing, but years later, along with the education level that I have achieved and my growing emotional sensitivity, I began to realise that Topeng Monyet is a form of animal cruelty and abuse."
Rani Trisna
That night it got me thinking. Where do the performing monkeys come from? How is the training process conducted? Is it driven by reward or punishment? Is this the only way for very poor people to earn money in Indonesia?
I wanted to know the answers to all these questions and more.
I decided to go back. The image that had haunted me for the last few weeks was proving unable to suppress. I could not dismiss it. It was time to see the Monkey Circus.
Pictured: The monkey is caged when not performing
Topeng Monyet appears rather elusive. When you are not looking for the show, they appear to be everywhere. Now I was looking for the show, it had been most difficult to find.
I had been asking everyone I could for quite some time now and every time I went somewhere, the show had finished for the day or was in a different location. After organising to leave work early that day, I had a good feeling about the journey. Many people had told me a certain place where I could find Topeng Monyet, so I was fairly confident we would get there.
After communicating where I wanted to go to my driver who spoke no English, I jumped in the taxi. I knew it would be a long journey. Heading through ghastly peak-hour traffic at not more than a crawl for more than an hour, we finally began to pick up speed. I would ask every twenty minutes or so, "Apa anda tahu di mana pergi ke?" (Do you know where you're going), the taxi driver nodded in a response. It was a little overwhelming.
As we were well out of the city and entering into a semi-rural area with street-side markets, I decide to ask him again. I was certain he was scamming me. Less than a minute later, he stopped abruptly, and pointed towards the dwellings.
It was hot, really hot, and sticky. I got out of the taxi carefully finding my footing on the unsteady ground. Stepping over a large hole in the pavement, I notice a man waving in my direction. Piles of rubbish littered the streets and the dust and exhaust fumes were thick and heavy in the air around me. I walked over to the man and engaged him in conversation.
"Apa di mana Topeng Monyet, bapak?" [Where is the Topeng Monyet sir] He pointed a crooked finger in the direction of a labyrinthine set of narrow streets and corridors, but remained silent.
"Terima Kasih Banyak pak," [thank you very much sir] I answered.
Unsure of where I was and feeling a fair bit vulnerable I looked around, expectant of further disappointment. A young man appears from the alleyway and stops in front of me gesturing towards the timid monkey that was crouching at his feet. He beckons for me to follow, leading me down a labyrinth of homes and twisting alleyways for maybe ten minutes before we reach our destination.
As we walk, the young man pulls the monkey along by a chain around its neck, commonly dragging it across the ground. The monkey keeps looking back at me and struggles to keep up with his fast pace. At that moment I wanted to grab the monkey and run away, liberating the creature from further mistreatment. The monkey seemed normal enough, but I still wanted to rescue it from its obligatory duties.
As we head through the winding streets, the air becomes more toxic and the streets, more filthy. Families poke their heads out of their homes and stare as we pass and point and laugh at the monkey who is being dragged along the cobblestones. The heat hits me in the face as my breathing becomes more of a struggle in the dense pollution.
The young man who has the monkey is named Herman. He looks about 20 and has a friendly face. He has two monkeys: the performing monkey, who I later discover is named Atung, and another in a small, filthy cage. Atung spits and growls at me viciously – he is missing tufts of fur from his back. I am suddenly realising how traumatised this creature really is.
Pictured: Herman and his performing monkey
I actually thought the people with the monkeys owned them, but the monkey business is a very clever trade. A number of monkeys are rented out to people like Herman, or children are common to acquire more money, then they may keep a small percentage of the funds; but the majority of the money goes to the owner. Very much like trade in prostitution.
Natalie Stewart from Jakarta Animal Aid Network (JAAN) tells me quite often the monkeys are in separate cages and live alone so they cannot interact with one another. These cages or crates are only big enough for one monkey and are usually placed in a dark spot – a perfect catalyst to drive the monkeys slowly mad.
Herman was rather shifty. He didn't speak more than a handful of English and played on that to drive a hard bargain. I pushed though to negotiate a deal as he was demanding an outrageous amount for me to see the show.
As Herman thought about my offer he clearly became far more interested in getting paid, than remembering he had Atung on a chain that was growing slack. My suspicions about the traumatised monkey were confirmed as he lunged at me ferociously, grabbing at my clothes.
Scaring me senseless, I jumped back and regaining my focus, negotiated with Herman for five or ten minutes more until I was happy with the amount. We were good to go.
Children run past us giggling as the monkey show is being set up, some wearing not a stitch of clothing. Herman asks me if I want to have music, the locals tell me it is very good, so I agree.
I sit down on a wooden bench outside somebody's home with a couple of locals and Herman gets Atung and his props ready. Soon there were crowds of villagers surrounding us. They had emerged from their houses for the afternoon's entertainment. A look of joy danced across their faces as they waited with the anticipation gleaming in their eyes. The monkey circus had smiled upon them. Herman's partner plays an eerie tune on his xylophone and the show begins.
Gazing through a thick, hazy curtain of cigarette smoke, Atung, the young Macaque, dressed in a gold waistcoat is commanded to attention with a sharp yank of the chain. Instantly as if an invisible switch has been flicked, he springs to life as a miniature wooden chair is thrown towards him. Atung steadies the chair and sits down in it. With another yank of the chain, Herman throws him an empty baby's bottle with a teat and the monkey sucks from the bottle, resting back in the chair.
This chain jerking concerns me. I could see the monkey getting increasingly vicious as the show progressed. He would snarl as his chain was pulled, but obey nevertheless.
"The training methods are barbaric and punishment is used as the driver. The monkeys are hung upside down with their arms bound, and they are beaten and starved." Natalie Stewart gives me a grim picture of the training regime.
During the show, Herman kept on glancing up at me as Atung performed. A large grin stretched across his face and his eyes were gleaming, almost daring me to react. I forced a painful smile. Inside I was fuming. Like Atung, I too wore a mask.
The theme of the show may vary from time to time but they exhibit common traits and reoccurring storylines for the monkeys to act out that appear in most shows. It is common to end the show sometimes with the fake gun prop, where the monkey shoots himself and lies dead. This barbaric act is said to freak out the children and make the tourists laugh.
Topeng Monyet could never be perceived as a one-sided issue. Indonesia has a vast difference between the levels of poverty and wealth. Many Indonesians live with poverty every day and education can be very sparse. This issue is largely about education.
"It is the responsibility of government to make sure all Indonesians get education – not only to create a better economy, but also to help people gain a sense of moral responsibility and understanding."
There are other ways of earning money, even for the desperately poor; ways that don't involve animal exploitation or tourism.
One look at the trains and it gives you a clear indication of this. Anyone can become a busker really; whether this is by selling fruit, playing an instrument or singing karaoke along the train. Or even if you have no discernable talents – simply sweeping rubbish along or holding out your hand, provides other options.
"Animal Tourism everywhere should be prohibited. No wild animal likes to do tricks for people in exchange for food," Natalie says.
Macaque Monkeys are not a protected species in Indonesia and Macaques are commonly bought through poachers who shoot the mothers to get to their young. The performing monkeys are small as they are chronically underfed and the owners get them when they're young and keep them small as they make them more money.
In Indonesia, the Macaque Monkeys didn't always have this fate. The performances started in rural villages where the people who captured the monkeys taught them, trained them and commonly kept them as pets. These monkeys lived a good life and teaching tricks to them was not a heinous act.
After many years though, the monkey trade has changed. Monkeys are captured in the forests and brought to the city as the population booms and the need for poor people's entertainment became more apparent.
Children who tend to make more money, are especially frightened of the monkeys and do not know how to care for them. They tease the animals and dominate them in the only way that they know how – by torturing them into submission.
Pictured: The monkey smokes a cigarette as part of his act
According to The Jakarta Globe, protests have exploded in recent times in Jakarta; once an issue that flew so heavily under the radar is emerging quickly in the public eye. With a country so deep in corruption such as Indonesia, Topeng Monyet is a problem that has a very small chance of being addressed. Now with a strong following of locals, tourists and westerners residing in Jakarta brandishing signs and shouting cries of protest to abolish this awful practice, perhaps sometime soon, the government will have to listen.
JAAN has been working intensively since March 2011 to seize the performing monkeys and to encourage anyone who witnesses the shows to take photos and/or footage and submit their findings to the organisation, so they can deal with the situation accordingly.
They are heavily involved in the liberation of the Macaque Monkeys. JAAN have a sanctuary in the Thousand Islands where they work with rehabilitating the monkeys that are freed or rescued. Many are disturbed psychologically and this becomes a very grueling task for their volunteers.
Much talk of imposing a ban on the monkey shows has taken place between the city and JAAN, "They are still waiting for the Jakarta administration to issue a bylaw that would prohibit Topeng Monyet performances," activist Pramudya Harzani to The Jakarta Globe.
The performing monkey circus has a home in Indonesia and unless the government is willing to clamp down on this issue as heavily as live cattle trade, then Topeng Monyet will not be going anywhere any time soon; especially as 30-odd-million people manage to survive on about $1 a day. The times are desperate and desperate people do extreme things.
As Atung is forced to do one degrading thing after another, he grabs at the chain around his neck, pleadingly staring at Herman. He yanks the chain and Atung obediently climbs into his cart and dons the dolls-face mask.

When it comes to tinkering, the goblins aren't the only ones that play at it. The Shaman of the Pyre do their own brand, creating new beings for the Great Khan, output from the breeding pools, the sludge of life that all orcs and goblins come from.
Somewhere between an Orc and a Goblin they were created to look more human to spy on their enemies, but the experiment was not particularly successful.
Their lives were spared by the Great Khan who saw something in their forming, that has led to a fanatical loyalty to him that worries the other Warlords in the Khanate.

Nov 07, 2020 • Last Updated November 7, 2020 • < 1 minute read
Volkswagen AG's truck unit Traton SE has signed a merger agreement with U.S. truck maker Navistar International Corp, the company said in a statement on Saturday.
Under deal, Traton will acquire all common shares in Navistar that it does not already own at $44.50 per share, the statement said. Traton already holds about 16.7% stake in Navistar.
Traton last month sweetened its takeover bid for Navistar from $43 per share to $44.50 per share.

Q: Application won't start - how to debug? We just released a new version of one of our applications, and are hearing early reports that it won't run on a few customer's computers.  This is a 32-bit Win32/MFC application that we have been shipping for about 5 or 6 years, so there is a history that the thing works.  The problem I have is trying to get it running on the two computers.  I can't reproduce the problem in-house, nor do I have any real access to the two computers in question.  This much I do know - the InitInstance method is never called.  I've checked it out in dependencywalker and everything looks OK (except for missing IEShims and wer.dll - but this is common, even in-house).  What other tools do I have at my disposal to diagnose this problem?
Thanks for your help.

A: When a program crashes during initialization, it will usually leave an entry in the windows application error log.  (Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Event Viewer)
There should be something along the lines to "AppCrash" or perhaps "SideBySide"

When every child grows up as an avid creator, innovation and creativity will be their second nature. When at play, they will build rocket ships, castles and skyscrapers. When playing amongst friends they make-belief; one is a teacher, whilst the others are students. A simple cardboard box could be a house, a race car or even a helicopter. Their creativity is boundless, the question is – how do we harness these ideas and natural creativity of every child?
Throughout the Prudential Young Trailblazers Competition, we sought to give these students a platform where their creativity can take center stage. But beyond that, we also desired to inspire confidence by giving them appropriate tools and mentorship, so that their innovative ideas can become a reality. What better way to spark off innovation than a competition where passionate students and business owners can come together to pair boundless creativity and business world practicality!
Although students engage in a myriad of projects throughout their academic year, the Young Trailblazers competition takes them to the next level such that their ideas can have tangible business outcomes. Thus, the competition matches teams with industry mentors, so they are able to work towards a realistic business ideas, prototype while receiving constructive feedback.
Yet, as with every competition, it was not without its share of hardship and harsh deadlines.
The competition organizers acknowledge the heavy workload and struggle that teams have to face with, such as juggling school and the competition deadlines. At the same time, they also recognize that these are important challenges that will help the participants to grow as individuals. Team discipline, time management, resilience and tenacity in the face of multiple challenges, are just some of the qualities repeatedly displayed by the participants throughout the competition.
The Prudential Young Trailblazer competition is proud of all its participants who have taken on this challenge to blaze the trail of Innovation and take on the Entrepreneurial Dare. Like everyone who has followed this inaugural but exciting competition, we are just as excited to hear the pitch by the Finalists on July 7th.
With these enthusiastic last words, we look forward to the Finals of the Prudential Young Trailblazers on July 7th.

Angry Democrats are already attempting to derail inauguration week by questioning the legitimacy of Trump's presidency. They've spent the better part of the week citing two polls from ABC and CNN. The polls supposedly reveal Trump's crummy approval ratings.
Just one problem. Both ABC and CNN vastly oversampled Democrats.
According to Gallup, 28% of Americans identify as Republican, 25% identify as Democrat and 44% identify as Independent.
If that's true, why did Democrats make up 31% of ABC's sample?
METHODOLOGY – This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by landline and cellular telephone Jan. 12-15, 2017, in English and Spanish, among a random national sample of 1,005 adults. Results have a margin of sampling error of 3.5 points, including the design effect. Partisan divisions are 31-23-37 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents.
Same goes for CNN. Do they care to explain why their sample contained 32% Democrats and only 24% Republicans?
Just more "fake news," I guess.

Is the South Korean Government Fiddling with an Idea for Prohibiting Radio Broadcasting to North Korea?
Governance, Legal
October 7, 2021, by Min-Jung Kim— On January 22, 2021, a controversial bill was proposed by the Ministry of Unification of South Korea. If radio broadcasting to North Korea is subjected as indicated, the bill can have a far greater impact in the United States than the Anti-Leaflet Law has, as most of the radio broadcasting activities to North Korea by South Korean nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are funded by the U.S. government or U.S. citizens.
Powering the Korean Peninsula: Economic and Strategic Considerations
Economics, Environment, Infrastructure & Energy
March 17, 2021, by Joseph S. Bermudez Jr., Victor Cha, Marie DuMond, Jonathan E. Hillman and Maesea McCalpin— Although significant political barriers remain to reconnecting the Korean peninsula, there is merit in substantive study of the types of energy infrastructure connections that would best promote regional growth and stability. The cases examined in this report underscore North Korea's dire need for energy infrastructure investment and the importance of it meeting the G20 quality infrastructure investment principles.
South Korea Bans Balloons Carrying Leaflets to the North. Foreign Policy Problems Will Follow
Commentary, Foreign Affairs
December 22, 2020, by Robert King— The South Korean National Assembly last week approved legislation that imposes stiff fines and jail terms for sending leaflets, USB sticks, Bible verses, and even money across the 38th parallel into North Korea via balloons. The real risk for the Moon government is that by responding so quickly to the derisive dressing down from Kim Yo-jong, it may give Seoul the appearance of being overly eager to accede to Pyongyang's demands. Such a response weakens South Korea's ability to negotiate with the North. The quick capitulation by the South only encourages Pyongyang to take a tougher stance in the future.
Making Solid Tracks: North Korea's Railway Connections with China and Russia
January 7, 2019, by Victor Cha, Joseph S. Bermudez Jr. and Marie DuMond— Should inter-Korean cooperation result in the re-connection of the railways in North and South Korea, the rail networks of the Korean peninsula could then be integrated into a rail network spanning the Eurasian continent through China and Russia. If actualized, this would mark a significant diplomatic and geopolitical accomplishment for the Korean peninsula. Nonetheless, a long and significant modernization process will need to take place to fully integrate the systems in a commercially viable way.

December 10, 2018, by Victor Cha, Joseph S. Bermudez Jr. and Marie DuMond— North and South Korea are moving forward with inter-Korean railway cooperation as a key engine for advancing inter-Korean reconciliation and building the infrastructure for eventual unification. Once connected, however, a significant modernization and harmonization process will need to take place to fully integrate the systems in a commercially viable way.

Seven Takeaways from the April 27 Inter-Korean Summit: Issues and Assessments
Analysis, Foreign Affairs, Nuclear Weapons
May 21, 2018, by Seong-whun Cheon— The absence of specifics on the nuclear issue in the Panmunjeom Declaration means that the inter-Korean summit has passed the nuclear buck on to the U.S.-DPRK summit. In particular, by introducing measures for promoting bilateral relations that are contingent on satisfactorily addressing the nuclear issue, the Panmunjom Declaration makes settling the nuclear issue a precondition for improving inter-Korean relations.


What sort of data is available in the MySQL & Load Stats section? How do you take advantage of it?
Whenever a visitor opens your Internet site, the Internet browser sends a request to the server, which executes it and gives the desired information as a response. A simple HTML website uses negligible system resources for the reason that it is static, but database-driven platforms are more requiring and use far more processing time. Every page which is served creates two forms of load - CPU load, which depends on the span of time the hosting server spends executing a specific script; and MySQL load, which depends on the total number of database queries created by the script while the client browses the site. Greater load will be produced if loads of people browse a certain Internet site all at once or if numerous database calls are made simultaneously. 2 examples are a discussion board with thousands of users or an online store in which a visitor enters a term inside a search box and thousands of items are searched. Having detailed stats about the load your site generates will allow you to improve the content or see if it's the perfect time to switch to a more powerful kind of web hosting service, if the website is simply getting extremely popular.
Our system keeps detailed info about the system resource usage of every single cloud web hosting account that's set up on our top-notch cloud platform, so if you choose to host your websites with our company, you shall have full access to this info through the Hepsia Control Panel, which you shall get with the account. The CPU load stats feature the CPU time and the actual execution time of your scripts, as well as what amount of system memory they used. You may see what processes generated the load - PHP or Perl scripts, cron jobs, and so forth. The MySQL load stats section will show you the amount of queries to each individual database you have created inside your shared hosting account, the total queries for the account as a whole and the normal hourly rate. Comparing these statistics to the website visitor data will tell you if your sites perform the way they ought to or if they require some optimization, which will improve their performance and the overall site visitor experience.

Auto reform update: Fasten your seatbelts
July 24, 2019	by David Gambrill
auto reform
Fasten your seatbelts, everyone, because the rate of auto reform is going to resemble a low-speed chase through a turbulent market cycle.
Even if auto reform packages were to be introduced in every single legislative assembly across the land today, it would take up to two years to reap the benefits, Insurance Bureau of Canada president and CEO Don Forgeron observed in a phone interview last week.
Canadian Underwriter asked Forgeron for a progress report on auto insurance reforms. He noted there were many reasons to be optimistic, particularly around current negotiations with the Ontario and Alberta governments. But it will take time, he cautioned.
"Once legislative reforms are brought in, there is still a 12- to 24-month cycle before all the benefits are seen by consumers," Forgeron said. "But we are certainly headed in the right direction. We are close."
Canadian and foreign private passenger auto insurers could use some good news these days. Those regulated by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI) reported a claims ratio of 86.8% in the private auto segment in 2019 Q1. (Of the net premiums earned of $3.1 billion, the industry incurred $2.7 billion in auto claims.) That's an even higher claims ratio than during the same period last year, when the claims ratio was 84%.
IBC has been negotiating with governments for some time on the auto insurance file. Especially in the country's largest private auto marketplaces, things appear to be taking shape, Forgeron observed.
"The conversations we are having in Ontario and Alberta are heading to some sort of reform package," Forgeron said, although he didn't want to speculate about a specific timeline. "I can't tell you if that's next month, or the end of the year, or even next year."
In Ontario, Premier Doug Ford's government announced in its 2019 budget a series of new measures designed to "put drivers first." Among other things, the proposals include:
introducing a Driver Care Card to streamline access to care;
making sure a driver's insurance policy will pay for the treatment they need, while giving drivers the choice to receive cash settlements if they are eligible
reforming the medical assessments process.
The proposals represent "the most expansive commitment made on auto in the recent budget that we've ever seen," said Forgeron. "We are having excellent discussions with a premier who is focused on getting costs out of the system and wanting to deliver a better consumer experience. So that's very encouraging here."
The province also has a new auto insurance regulator, the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Ontario (FSRA). FSRA assumed the regulatory duties of the Financial Services Commission of Ontario (FSCO) and the Deposit Insurance Corporation of Ontario (DICO) in June. It is early days for the regulator.
What does IBC think of the new regulator thus far?
"The new regulator is a real ray of light," Forgeron said. "Certainly what they have been saying is exceptionally positive, about wanting to have a more competitive and sustainable industry with fewer restrictions; as well as their talk about their commitment to changing the rate regulations. The process is a breath of fresh air. Something… the industry has been calling for 20 years."
Forgeron said he is similarly encouraged by negotiations with the government in Alberta, home to Canada's second-largest private passenger auto market. Alberta Premier Jason Kenney's United Conservative Party took over after the provincial election in April 2019.
"In Alberta, we have a new government there that is very focused on getting costs out of the system, on reducing red tape, on opening up Alberta for business, which is opening it up to insurers as well," he said. "It's not a very desirable place to do business at the moment. They know that."
However, until any concrete results happen, "there will be no declaring of victory," Forgeron says. "But certainly we are seeing a lot more positives that should lead to the kind of changes that everybody wants. Not just for the industry, but for consumers as well."

Time Out has curated and created an eight-week event series, taking London's best experiences from the pages of its website and magazine to the sky. Working closely with The Story Lab and Vizeum, the 'Time Out's Eye-Openers' campaign is built around a series of unique events in the Coca-Cola London Eye capsules this summer.
The campaign, targeting Londoners, local workers and students, includes lunchtime yoga and barre, children's storytelling, talks and performances, with the aim of promoting off-peak visits to the attraction.
Based on Time Out's editorial recommendations of things to do in London and insights into high performing content, the brand's Creative Solutions team has curated a series of 24 unique live experiences delivered by the Live Events team for off-peak time slots at the London Eye. Kicking off on 12th June for four weeks, the event series will return from 17th September for a second stint.
Taking over twelve capsules each day over lunchtime and after work, attendees can buy tickets on the attraction's website for a 30-minute lunchtime yoga or barre session with skyline views led by Hackney gym The Refinery, take the kids to hear London-themed stories presented by a line-up of brilliant storytellers and performers, and expect everything from comedy performances and drag acts to serious, life-affirming discussions from the talks and performances.
Leveraging the full strength of Time Out's channels, the experiences will be promoted across Time Out's website, social media channels, newsletters and magazine. Advertorials and full-page display adverts in the magazine will promote the events and the London Eye's seasonal messaging, targeting Time Out's highly engaged audience always on the lookout for new experiences.
Online, digital feature pages will surface the advertorial content, plus additional digital features highlighting top picks of the event series. Native traffic drivers and co-branded display will link to the partnership content. Relevant audience segments will receive emails, driving ticket sales and on social, editorial-style video will showcase snippets of all three events, and will be seeded out via Time Out social platforms to its almost two million followers.
The partnership was identified and brokered by Dentsu Aegis Network premium content business The Story Lab, while Vizeum planned and bought all the wider campaign activity.
Jack Woodcock, Director Creative Solutions EMEA at Time Out, commented: "Time Out's audience is united by a passion for discovering new experiences in the places they love. Developing 'Time Out's Eye-Openers' has created a unique opportunity to do what we do best - curating amazing experiences whilst driving awareness and changing perceptions of The London Eye.
Tanya Weller, Head of Marketing at the Coca-Cola London Eye, said: "The Coca-Cola London Eye and Time Out have a lot in common, both offering a new perspective on London, so it was a natural fit to create Time Out's Eye-Openers together. We want to encourage Londoners, families, students and those who work nearby to make the most of the London Eye and Time Out's audience are always keen to discover the most exciting happenings in the capital.

An Amazing Cast Helps Create A Surprisingly Good Family Comedy With Beethoven!
The Good: Decent cast, Moments of plot, performance, and theme
The Bad: Some hammy overacting/family movie conceits
The Basics: Despite its over-the-top silliness at points, Beethoven holds up as a strong family comedy!
As a matter of sharing parts of herself, my wife will periodically have me get out movies I either missed that she watched and enjoyed or films from her past that I have never had the impetus to watch before. A few weekends back, I had a taste from each category when she got out Game Change (reviewed here!) and Beethoven. The irony for me was that the film I expected to appreciate more - Game Change - did not hold up nearly as well as the family flick my wife recalled from her childhood and wanted to see again.
From the opening shots of Beethoven, as I realized I was watching a young(er) Oliver Platt and Stanley Tucci and that this family film that spawned several sequels actually had an impressive cast (mostly talent before they hit it big), Beethoven actually manages to entertain and tell a family friendly story in a way that makes it reasonable that it would start a franchise. Beethoven is hampered by the conceits that make it feel like a Disney live-action film (it is not!); hammy overacting, reversals that are larger than life and a plot progression so predictable that only children will not see the end coming in the opening frames of the film. Even so, for a movie hampered by such obvious conceits and employing both child and animal actors (neither is overly recommended by most directors), Beethoven manages to tell a decent story and, to be fair to it with all of the genre problems it possesses, is not a film I felt like I've seen a thousand times over.
The patriarch of the Newton family, George, is a reticent business-focused man who has worked hard to provide for his wife and three children (two daughters, one son). One morning, after the witless criminals Harvey and Vernon rob a pet shop of its puppies and two of them escape, a cute St. Bernard puppy, wanders into George's home and wakes up little Emily with dog kisses. Pressured into keeping the puppy by the family that sees him as inhuman, George suddenly starts spending an inordinate amount of time and money on providing for the dog, who is soon named Beethoven. While George struggles to win new corporate patrons for his air fresheners, the family falls in love with Beethoven.
But Harvey and Vernon were not working alone. They were employed by the nefarious veterinarian, Dr. Varnick. Varnick has taken money from a gun manufacturer who wants small animals in order to test its new bullets. When Varnick discovers Beethoven (who by that time has grown to have a skull density that a bullet manufacturer would really appreciate!), he orchestrates a kidnapping that could result in the dog's death. George has to choose between believing the authoritative vet and his daughter, who witnessed the set-up; it is a choice between mounting a dangerous rescue or allowing Beethoven to be put to death!
Beethoven makes good use of the talent involved and it is easy to see how David Duchovny, Patricia Heaton, Oliver Platt, Stanley Tucci and even Charles Grodin (who plays George unfortunately like a boss I once had who was a complete and total ass!) were eager to take the project. Despite Heaton and Duchovny being tossed about and forced to do the screams one might expect out of a Little Rascals short, they have the chance to play villains who are stiff and eager to take advantage of Grodin's George. The roles are different from anything else I have seen them play, so it does give them something completely different to play.
The child actors in Beethoven are surprisingly not horrible, which is a rare thing for me to find. Led by Nicholle Tom (Ryce), the Newton children seem like a viable family and they are presented in a professional and realistic way. Sarah Rose Karr brings more to Emily than a cute face – she plays determined and hurt well and when her character, neglected, falls in a pool, the viewer actually believes she is drowning. Even Christopher Castile does fine as Ted.
What was unsurprising to me was that the actor who played the title character, Beethoven, was only in this film. Chris is a big dog and what shocked me was that director Brian Levant included scenes where Chris was clearly limping! Regardless of the disclaimers at the end of the credits, it does not seem like Chris was in the best of health when Beethoven was shot.
And the main plot conceit – testing new bullets on dogs – is absurd and monstrous enough to add menace to the film. It is probably enough to scare children, but as an adult, I was more surprised that the film was audacious enough to present such a strong stance on animal cruelty and testing. Such plots are usually relegated to a b-plot in an animated film, but Beethoven puts it up front as the a-plot in the live-action film. Color me impressed.
Not to be taken overly seriously as a work of great cinema, Beethoven nevertheless impresses in that it has an impressive cast working in ways I had never seen.

Garry Rogers Motorsport has stepped back 30 years and unveiled its retro livery for this weekend's Wilson Security Sandown 500.
Both Volvo S60s have gone back to 1986 with a livery inspired by the Volvo Dealer Team Australian Touring Car Championship winning 240 Turbo.
The 240T was the first turbocharged car and the first-ever Swedish car to win the Australian Touring Car Championship, back with Robbie Francevic at the wheel.
Flamboyant team boss Garry Rogers is pleased with the new look and believes the team is capable of making a splash this weekend at Sandown.
"I remember clearly Robbie Francevic invading our shores with the Volvo – it's ironic that 30 years later we still have a Kiwi behind the wheel of a Volvo," Rogers said, referring to Championship contender Scott McLaughlin.
While he admitted changing the car wasn't a small exercise for the team, Rogers was glad they made it happen.
"To be honest, I was a little skeptical of the retro round and this was mainly due to the cost and interruption to our business," Rogers said.
"But, as a result of the enthusiasm of our sponsor group – particularly John McMellan from Wilson and their contribution – I was convinced that it was a good idea, I am very pleased that they did convince me because the cars look great.
Both Volvos sport the new livery, and if you look closely the drivers were able to squeeze into the retro driving suits of Garry Rogers (McLaughlin) and Allan Moffat (James Moffat).


The most successful organizations value diversity of thinking and out-of-the-box solutions, but recruiting creative thinkers has always been a tricky, imprecise science. Advertising agencies, whose key assets are measured in the creativity of their employees, are tasked with identifying this potential in job candidates almost every day. So it follows that the industry responsible for introducing concepts like "Think Different" into the general lexicon might offer some unique insights into recruiting and hiring innovative thinkers.
In Different Like Me: Why Cultural Omnivores Get Creative Jobs, Professor Sharon Koppman of the UC Irvine Paul Merage School of Business, studied ad agency hiring practices, examining the role "cultural capital" plays in the process. "Cultural capital refers to widely shared, high-status cultural signals, such as tastes, cultural interests and styles, which can be used to access economic rewards such as desirable jobs and salaries," she notes.
Koppman points out that the people who do the hiring in ad agency creative departments are not usually human resources managers. Instead they're writers, art directors and creative directors who often view shared cultural experiences as determinants of creativity among job applicants. It's not that creative bosses hire people with the same interests, Koppman says, but they do tend to seek out those who share their own proclivity for a broad field of interests—cultural omnivores. Let's say two candidates with similar experience and work portfolios are searching for an agency job. One mentions in interviews that she studied opera in college, enjoys bluegrass music, and does pin weaving in her spare time. The other candidate has few interests outside of advertising to discuss. That diversity of interests will serve the first candidate well, as 75 percent of ad agency creative managers consider it a marker for creativity, outranking their interest in candidates' interpersonal skills (27 percent) and presentation skills (44 percent).
Put another way, Koppman says that for a creative candidate with the most omnivorous taste possible (for example, someone who might like heavy metal, opera, rap, new age, and Latin music), the odds of creative employment in an agency are more than six times greater than they are for a candidate with the least omnivorous taste possible (for example, someone who likes only contemporary rock).
Koppman cautions these cultural cues can be misleading for creative managers. "Reliance on this signal actually goes against much of what we know about creative careers: that success requires extensive and deliberate practice, that production depends on collectives of individuals with specialized skills, and that creative producers who specialize are more employable." And, while a long list of cultural activities can signal intellectual curiosity, she adds that it can also suggest a scattered attention span or indecision.
Koppman acknowledges that there are no hard and fast tests that objectively determine whether candidates will fulfill their creative potential, and she refers to contrasting hiring practices at companies like Google, where it's reported that recruiters are interested in candidates' deep knowledge of particular subjects, rather than their many outside interests.
Still, ad agencies defend the practice of seeking out people with similar omnivorous cultural interests, citing robust intellectual curiosity as a necessary skill. Said one of the hiring respondents, "It doesn't matter, a copywriter or designer…a lot of times the first questions I will ask are, 'Do you read? What do you like to do in your own time? What are your hobbies?'"

CAIRO: A Cairo court on Sunday rejected a request to release an Islamist jailed more than 26 years ago for plotting the assassination of Egypt's late president Anwar Sadat, a judicial source said.
The court refused a request by Tarek Al-Zomor, who has already served out his 22-year sentence, because it did not meet procedural rules, the source told AFP.
Zomor was ordered released in 2003, having served all of his term for his involvement in the killing of Sadat during a military parade in October 1981. The interior ministry overruled the decision and he was never set free despite several court orders to release him.
The ministry considers Zomor "a very dangerous person for the country's security and accuses him of attempting several escapes from prison.
Detained at Tora prison, south of Cairo, Zomor belongs to the Islamist group Al-Jihad, which together with Jamaa Islamiya was behind Sadat's murder.
Zomor's brother, Abboud Al-Zomor, was sentenced to 40 years in 1981 in the same case and is still serving out his jail term.
The main defendant in the assassination, Khaled Islambuli, was sentenced to death and hanged in 1982. -AFP
