Exactly how Are You Going To Use Your Movado Watch?
This may appear straightforward however it is a real vital concern. Wearing it on a daily basis or just on some celebrations can determine whether you need a natural leather band or otherwise.

It has been said with truth that the sixteenth century saw a sea change in Christian spirituality. On all sides, the movement is towards the responsibility of the individual to shape his or her journey to God according to charts and programmes of spiritual advance far more detailed than ever before, and far more attuned to the analysis of subjective states—though, as we have seen, the greatest writers in this area point us to the subjective only to place it too under the shadow of suspicion. It is not hard to see why issues about prayer came to be of political importance, given the claims made for the freedom and authenticity of the inner life: for both Catholicism and Protestantism, the issue of religious control was to become more and more complex as the old corporate forms of devotion broke down or changed drastically. Very broadly speaking, the Catholic resolution was to place the new concern with interiority at the service of a rigorous training of the will: for the Carmelite saints and their followers, the disciplining of the will to be faithful in experiences of darkness and inward suffering, for the Jesuits, the formation of a habit of disinterested obedience to the imperatives of the Church's mission. Protestantism had more, and more various, difficulties: while some Protestants drifted further towards a new style of biblical literalism as a way of resolving problems over authority, others moved in the direction of rationalist universalism—the reliance on truths available to the introspection of every reasonable human subject, without the intervention of any external authority.
The problematic results of that are familiar enough to anyone with an eye to our current cultural situation. But it can certainly be said that, in one way or another, the spirituality of the Reformation era helped to fix, for good and ill, the shape of the modern psychological subject, which, in its suspicion and restlessness and awareness of unsatisfiable desire, has, in the words of a recent French study of this period, 'kept the form and not the content' of the spiritual journey mapped out in the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries (de Certeau, 1993:293).


Colton's tenure as "The Bachelor" is officially over.
"The Bachelor" just ended its 23rd season, helmed by former professional football player Colton Underwood.
In honor of Underwood's season, we've ranked every star of "The Bachelor" based on likability, quality of contestants, and the entertainment value of his season.
No, Arie Luyendyk, Jr. does not rank last. But he comes close.
Reality TV juggernaut "The Bachelor" just wrapped up its 23rd season on March 12, with its 22nd Bachelor, Colton Underwood.
It's hard to believe that this show has been on air for so long, plus that it's spawned a whopping five separate spin-offs, and more than a few wedding specials.
To celebrate its much anticipated return we've ranked the Bachelors themselves, from fan-favorites like Ben Higgins to the universally hated Juan Pablo Galavis.
Keep scrolling to see where your favorite man lands.
Could this have been anyone else? While many were initially delighted when Galavis was announced as the first Latino Bachelor back in 2013, things quickly deteriorated. Two weeks into the broadcast of his season, Galavis upset many when he stated that he believed that there shouldn't be a gay or bisexual Bachelor, though he later apologized and claimed his words were taken out of context.
Galavis was also patronizing towards his contestants, repeatedly brushing off any of their concerns by saying "It's okay." Andi Dorfman, future star of "The Bachelorette" spin-off, left the show after Fantasy Suites, claiming that she "want[ed] to die" if she had to hear him say "it's okay" again.
The season ended with runner-up Clare Crawley telling Galavis off because she felt that he had lead her on, and ended with her telling him "I would never want my children having a father like you." Galavis' reply? "I'm glad I didn't pick her."
To top it all off, Galavis didn't even propose at the end of the season, instead offering winner Nikki Ferrell a final rose — the two broke up soon after.
Things started off rocky for Luyendyk when he was announced Bachelor, as his pick was met with a resounding "who?" The race car driver hadn't appeared on the franchise in six years, since his break-up with then-Bachelorette Emily Maynard. Plus, Bachelor Nation had been hoping that Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay's runner-up Peter Kraus would be named the new Bachelor.
It was only downhill from there. Fans frequently complained about how boring Arie— and thus the season — was, and how it was unclear what Luyendyk actually wanted.
But, of course, nothing will top the finale, in which painfully raw, unedited footage showed Luyendyk dumping his distraught winner and fiancée, future-Bachelorette Becca Kufrin, so he could reunite with runner-up Lauren Burnham. Though this wasn't the first time this happened — more on that later — it made Luyendyk persona non grata to Bachelor Nation, and even got him banned from Kufrin's home state of Minnesota.
Pavelka's fall from grace is still astounding nine years later. The pilot's season, subtitled "On the Wings of Love," was highly anticipated since he was a fan-favorite on his season of "The Bachelorette."
However, Bachelor Nation turned on him when he picked the season's villain, Vienna Girardi.
The couple broke up not long after the show wrapped, putting fans through an excruciatingly uncomfortable break-up special, in which Girardi sobbed and called Pavelka emotionally abusive, while he screamed at her to stop interrupting him.
Velvick's main crime is being forgettable, made worse because he was the star of an objectively important season. It was the first time the contestants were given a choice between two Bachelors, a gimmick that would later be used on "The Bachelorette."
Velvick, a professional bass fisherman, was chosen over Jay Overbye, a realtor, back in 2004. He ended up proposing to former football cheerleader Mary Delgado. The two were together for a few years, but their relationship ended in 2009— after five years and Delgado getting arrested for allegedly punching Velvick in the face.
In 2006, Borghese was marketed as an Italian prince, but he technically doesn't have a title — his father's the real prince — plus he grew up in Short Hills, New Jersey.
While his season was interesting to watch — it was filmed in Rome, Italy — it felt too gimmicky to have a "prince" as Bachelor, and Borghese wasn't very compelling. Essentially, another forgettable lead.
Borghese chose Jennifer Wilson at the end of the season, but didn't propose. Instead, he offered her a "family ring," and the two dated for a few months before breaking up. Borghese then began dating runner-up Sadie Murray, but they fizzled out as well.
Buerge was another perfectly nice, yet forgettable Bachelor. To become a highly-ranked Bachelor, one must be more than just nice.
Buerge, a banker, searched for love on reality television in 2002. He chose Helene Eksterowicz and proposed to her, but they called off their engagement only a few weeks after the show aired.
Grant's British accent bumped him up a few slots. When he became Bachelor in 2008 he was the first lead from outside of North America, which made him very exciting. But his season wasn't as thrilling as it should've been — there was no real drama until after the season wrapped, when he and the winner Shayne Lamas broke up.
Grant openly regretted picking Lamas, saying "Did I find true love on the show? Um, no. Not one little bit. I proposed to a woman who was about a foot and a half shorter than me, who had nothing in common with me, and thought there were palm trees in London. Did I make a mistake? Yes. Did I look like an idiot? Yes. Do I regret it? A little bit." Being rude about your winner rarely makes you more likable.
Stork is now best known for hosting the syndicated morning talk show, "The Doctors." The fact that he was able to successfully re-brand himself as a TV doctor can only mean one thing: he was the star of a very uneventful season of "The Bachelor."
Stork appeared on the show in 2006, and didn't end up proposing to his final contestant, Sarah Stone. Instead, the two began a short-lived relationship, and the handsome doctor began hosting his show two years later.
O'Connell's season in 2005 seemed to be when the show's producers realized that adding copious amounts of alcohol, while potentially dangerous and definitely problematic, made for entertaining reality TV.
It's the year "The Bachelor" stopped taking itself so seriously, and the season began with body shots and plenty of making out, which is essentially what makes spinoff "Bachelor in Paradise" so much fun to watch.
O'Connell, older brother of actor Jerry O'Connell, proposed to Sarah Brice, and the couple were on-and-off until 2010, when they called it quits for good.
Flajnik, a winemaker and owner of Envolve wines, was well-liked, but a bit clueless. He ended his 2012 season by committing the faux pas of picking the season's villain, Courtney Robertson.
Viewers were frustrated week after week when Flajnik turned a blind eye to Robertson's rude behavior towards other contestants, instead focusing only on the way she acted towards him. But Flajnik and Robertson will be best remembered for their midnight skinny dipping in the ocean, which remains a huge deal in Bachelor Nation.
Flajnik proposed to Robertson, but the couple didn't last long. In fact, they broke up while the season was still airing due to Robertson's villainy. While they briefly reunited for "After the Final Rose," they ended things for good only a few months later.
The very first Bachelor ranks smack in the middle of the show's list of eligible men. Michel was plucked from obscurity in 2002 to become the now mega-franchise's guinea pig. He seemed like a genuine catch; the businessman graduated from both Harvard and Stanford.
However, his season was hampered by its short length — it was only a month long — and viewers didn't get the chance to know him that well.
Michel didn't propose to his winner, Amanda Marsh, and the couple broke up after a year of dating. Since the show, Michel has stayed off the grid instead of becoming an influencer like other "Bachelor" alumni, suggesting that he was probably there for the right reasons.
Baldwin was a real get for the show. He was an actual US Naval Officer, ("The Bachelor" franchise loves the armed forces), which led to his season getting subtitled "An Officer and a Gentleman," and he genuinely treated the contestants with respect. These two things get a "The Bachelor" top 10 placement.
Baldwin proposed to Tessa Horst in the 2007 finale, but they called off their engagement only a few weeks later. They continued to date, but broke up for good in September of that year.
Palmer cracks the top 10 for his longevity. The former New York Giants quarterback appeared as Bachelor in 2004, and returned to the ABC family in 2018 to host an even shorter version of "The Bachelor," called "The Proposal," in which 10 women participate in a beauty pageant of sorts before getting proposed to.
Palmer is also responsible for one of the most iconic "Bachelor" moments of all time, when he accidentally said the wrong woman's name at a rose ceremony before legitimately fleeing the room upon realizing this mistake. It's always fun to peek behind the curtain of "The Bachelor," and it was a truly human moment — who can actually remember the names of 30 identical women after pulling an all-nighter?
Lastly, Palmer pulled a never-before-seen and never-again-attempted move — he made one of his married friends go undercover as a contestant in order to gain intel and spill secrets about what the ladies are like without him around.
Palmer ended up asking Jessica Bowlin to continue dating, instead of proposing. They broke up shortly after.
Viall earned his spot on this list, after appearing on not one, not two, but three "Bachelor" shows. He was runner-up on both Andi Dorfman and Kaitlyn Bristowe's seasons of "The Bachelorette," and almost proposed to Jen Saviano on the third season of "Bachelor in Paradise."
Although Viall wasn't a fan-favorite when he was announced as the next Bachelor in 2016, Viall's season was definitely entertaining. It also introduced us to "Bachelor" favorites like Raven Gates, future "Bachelorette" Rachel Lindsay, and, of course, Corinne Olympios.
Though this might annoy some viewers, it can be endearing when the lead has a clear favorite from day one, and Viall's eventual winner Vanessa Grimaldi was the obvious frontrunner for most of the season. The two got engaged, but broke things off a few months after the show.
Guiney's 2003 season introduced viewers to the now-standard formula of picking a Bachelor from the cast-offs of a previous season of "The Bachelorette." He was eliminated during the first-ever season of "The Bachelorette" by Trista Rehn.
Guiney stands out because the viewers already had a relationship with him, and he was legitimately funny.
His season is also the most-watched season premiere in the franchise's history, with 18.62 million viewers.
Guiney didn't propose with an engagement ring, but did offer a promise ring to winner Estella Gardinier. They broke up a month after the show ended.
Womack pulled the ultimate no-no at the end of his first season of "The Bachelor" in 2007 when he didn't choose a winner. While this would probably be considered an emotionally mature decision in real life, he was demonized by Bachelor Nation.
However, he also has one of the greatest comeback stories in the franchise's history. In an unprecedented move, he was re-named the Bachelor four years later, in 2011, and vowed to find love for real this time. Even though he did get slapped along the way, Womack proposed to Emily Maynard, an all-time Bachelor Nation favorite.
But, unfortunately, the couple broke off their engagement three months after the show aired. Maynard was named Bachelorette in 2012.
The fact that Mesnick made the top six in this ranking, despite essentially doing the same thing to his top two finalists as Arie Luyendyk, just nine years earlier in 2009, is a real testament to his likability.
Mesnick, a single dad, was beloved throughout DeAnna Pappas' season of "The Bachelorette," and his own season of "The Bachelor. " However, during the "After the Final Rose" special he blindsided his original winner, Melissa Rycroft, by breaking up with her on live television, then immediately asked runner-up Molly Malaney to get back together.
This turned Mesnick into public enemy number one... but also made for incredible TV. Plus, Mesnick and Malaney are married with a daughter, making them one of three couples from "The Bachelor" to stay together.
Firestone is the epitome of what the star of "The Bachelor" should be: handsome, wealthy, and just cheesy enough to sell the ridiculous premise of "The Bachelor."
A solidly good guy, complete with millions of dollars as the heir to Firestone tires as well as his own family-owned vineyard— that is a Bachelor we can all get on board with.
Firestone proposed to Jen Schefft at the end of his 2003 season. They broke up seven months later, in December.
After a rocky journey on "Bachelor in Paradise," Underwood took the reins and became the star of "The Bachelor" season 23.
Let's cut to the chase: Underwood ranks this high because of one single, shining moment — the fence jump. After being so distraught and heartbroken by frontrunner Cassie's decision to leave him, Underwood ripped off his mic and fled into the inky black Portuguese night.
Audiences had never seen the curtain ripped this far back on "The Bachelor," and they loved it. Underwood earned this high spot, with his tears, and incredible jumping ability.
Excluding his more recent legal troubles due to a hit-and-run, Soules is a top three Bachelor because he somehow convinced every female viewer that she wanted to ditch her family, friends, and job to move to his farm in Iowa.
After appearing on Andi Dorfman's season of "The Bachelorette" and gaining legions of fans during his time there, he became the franchise's next star in 2015.
While Soules was a perfectly fine Bachelor, the real stars were his contestants. No "Bachelor" fan will ever forget Kelsey's "amazing love story," in which she essentially used her husband's death to get closer to Soules, or when she was accused of faking a panic attack to stay in the house. Soules' season also introduced Bachelor Nation to franchise staples Ashley Iaconetti, future Bachelorette Kaitlyn Bristowe, Jade Roper, Carly Waddell, and Becca Tilley.
Soules proposed to Whitney Bischoff, and the two stayed together for almost seven months before splitting.
This is a final two we'd have a hard time choosing between, but the runner-up is our 2016 Bachelor, Ben Higgins. After becoming hugely popular on Kaitlyn Bristowe's season of "The Bachelorette," picking Higgins was an easy choice for producers.
While some people may call him boring, we disagree, though he did commit one of the cardinal sins of the show: he told the final two that he loved them both! This was a huge source of drama that even carried over into his spin-off show with winner Lauren Bushnell,"Ben & Lauren: Happily Ever After?" The fact that he even received a spin-off show should tell you a lot about how much he was loved by fans. The two eventually broke up after a year-long engagement.
His season also included one of the greatest eliminations from a two-on-one date in "Bachelor" history, as Higgins left villain Olivia Caridi behind on a deserted island.
And again, his contestants were great, including future Bachelorette JoJo Fletcher, "Bachelor in Paradise" staple Amanda Stanton, the twins, and Lace Morris.
Really, who else could number one be? Lowe is, to date, the only Bachelor to ever marry his original winner — sorry Arie and Jason — and the couple are still going strong in 2019, almost six years later.
Lowe, the original virgin Bachelor, was funny, charismatic, and seemed like a guy genuinely looking for love after getting his heart broken by Emily Maynard on "The Bachelorette."
His season was truly a nail-biter. Lowe's choice came right down to the wire, and he shocked many when he got down on one knee and proposed to Catherine Giudici.
But flash-forward a few years, and the couple are happily married with two kids. Clearly, Lowe saw something that the rest of us simply did not.

Q: Undefined ajax response when page load I have a script, below, and when the page loads I get an error message: Cannot read property 'length' of undefined, so I researched the error and found that the AJAX request wasn't executed. If I execute the same code in the browser console, the script works fine. What's wrong with my code?
<script>

function getCitiesList() {
  var country_id = '189';
  return $.ajax({
    type: 'get',//тип запроса: get,post либо head
    url: '/countries/' + country_id + '/cities' + "&authenticity_token=" + AUTH_TOKEN,
  });
}

function getCitiesList2() {
  var bla = getCitiesList();
  console.log(bla['responseJSON']);
  var i = 0;
  var data = [];
  while (i < bla['responseJSON'].length) {
    data[i] = {};
    data[i]['id'] = bla['responseJSON'][i]['id'];
    data[i]['text'] = bla['responseJSON'][i]['title'];
    i++;
  }
  console.log(data);
}

$('#city').select2({
  data: getCitiesList2(),
  width: "100%"
});

</script>

A: Since JavaScript is asynchronous language, it just keeps running and doesn't wait for AJAX to return result.
In your code, the first line of getCitiesList2 function assigns the return value of an AJAX call. The AJAX returns later, and var bla doesn't yet have the response. To solve this, you can pass a callback to your AJAX function getCitiesList and execute it on AJAX success.
function getCitiesList(callback) {
  var country_id = '189';
  $.ajax({
    type: 'get',//тип запроса: get,post либо head
    url: '/countries/' + country_id + '/cities' + "&authenticity_token=" + AUTH_TOKEN,
    success: function(result) {
      callback(result);
    }
  });
}

function getCitiesList2() {
  getCitiesList(function(result) {
    var i = 0;
    var data = [];
    while (i < result['responseJSON'].length) {
      data[i] = {};
      data[i]['id'] = result['responseJSON'][i]['id'];
      data[i]['text'] = result['responseJSON'][i]['title'];
      i++;
    }
  });
}

A: The problem is that console.log(bla['responseJSON']); in getCitiesList2 is executed before the ajax response is received. And after var bla = getCitiesList(); assignment, bla basically holds a deferred object. All you need to do is to assign a callback function that is going to be executed once the ajax call returns.
<script>

function getCitiesList() {
  var country_id = '189';
  return $.ajax({
    type: 'get',//тип запроса: get,post либо head
    url: '/countries/' + country_id + '/cities' + "&authenticity_token=" + AUTH_TOKEN,
  }).done(function(data){
     $('#city').select2({
       data: processCitiesResponse(data),
       width: "100%"
     });
  });
}

function processCitiesResponse(data)
{
     console.log(data);
     var i = 0;
     var options = [];
     while (i < data.responseJSON.length) {
        options[i] = {};
        options[i].id = data.responseJSON[i].id;
        options[i].text = data.responseJSON[i].title;
        i++;
     }
     console.log(options );
}

</script>

A: first and second answer doesn't help, the same problem.
This work:
<script>
                              var AUTH_TOKEN = $('meta[name=csrf-token]').attr('content');

                                $.ajax({

Dude, Where's my Saturday?
Yesterday was a bit of a lost day. As it worked out, Sarah had a volleyball tournament that ran from 9:00 until 4:00 PM. Donna took that duty as I had to stay back and go to Ben's football game at Catholic Memorial at Noon. Ah, the joys of a being a two fall sport family.
As I was sitting at Ben's game, another parent asked me where Donna was. When I told them she was at an all-day tournament, they just kind of said, "Well, you got the better end of that deal, eh?" I had to agree. Though it was killing me not to be able to get to BOTH events. I really WANT to be there to support Sarah in her volleyball. Based on Donna's perception though, there weren't many parents that stayed for the entire tournament. I think we should be happy that both of the kids' events were covered by at least one parent.
Turns out the Waukesha South Freshmen Volleyball team didn't win any of the games yesterday. The only benefit of that was being able to leave after only 7 hours of action. Donna said they were a bit flat at times and need to work better as a team.
I was so proud this week when Donna showed me a sheet saying Sarah was one of the captains of the team. When I mentioned it to Sarah, she said "Yeah, captain for this WEEK." I guess they all get a turn at being captain and her turn was up. Then she got all cynical on me and said that being captain means you're in charge of setting up and taking down the nets and calling the coin flip at the start. Sounds like a chump assignment if you ask me. And why can't they just assign captains to the two best girls (or best leaders)? Are we that afraid of hurting feelings in this PC era, that we can't just call out a couple leaders?
Ben's 6th grade football team had a bit more success. They won 6-0 over the Catholic Memorial Crusaders. They scored their only touchdown on a 50 yard interception for a score. CMH actually had the ball as far down as the 14 at one point, but South held. So they're 2-0 and feeling pretty good about themselves. We'll see how they do next week versus a very good Waukehsa West squad.
Ben was upset that he didn't play more. It didn't help his case when on the first play they sent him in for right before the end of the half he didn't get set in time and was called for an illegal procedure penalty. In his defense, the receivers coach didn't send him in until the last second, and then it was sketchy which play was going to be called. Nonetheless, he needs to be cognizant of the urgency and get set.
It was not entirely his fault, but I think coach held him out for all but two other plays and kickoff duty. No one likes standing on the sidelines that much, so I don't blame him. I DID need to remind him to relish in the victory a bit. (He couldn't because he "didn't help them win") I said you blocked good on the two plays you were in, so you helped. Well, he didn't want to hear that either. Sigh...
Well, today is a glorious day outside, and the opening of football season, so I'm going to DVR the Packer game and take the dog to the dog park now so he can run his energy off.

You can configure API Gateway to perform basic validation of an API request before proceeding with the integration request. When the validation fails, API Gateway immediately fails the request, returns a 400 error response to the caller, and publishes the validation results in CloudWatch Logs. This reduces unnecessary calls to the backend. More importantly, it lets you focus on the validation efforts specific to your application.
The required request parameters in the URI, query string, and headers of an incoming request are included and non-blank.
The applicable request payload adheres to the configured JSON schema request model of the method.
To enable basic validation, you specify validation rules in a request validator, add the validator to the API's map of request validators, and assign the validator to individual API methods.
Request body validation and request body passthrough are two separate issues. When a request payload cannot be validated because no model schema can be matched, you can choose to passthrough or block the original payload. For example, when you enable request validation with a mapping template for the application/json media type, you may want to pass an XML payload through to the backend even though the enabled request validation will fail. This may be the case if you expect to support the XML payload on the method in the future. To fail the request with an XML payload, you must explicitly choose the NEVER option for the content passthrough behavior.


Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add oil. Add garlic and chilies and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add chicken and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
Increase heat to high. Add carrot, beans, red pepper and corn and stir-fry for 4 minutes, or until vegetables are just tender and chicken is cooked.
Add coconut milk, oyster sauce, lime juice and fish sauce. Toss to combine until heated through.

PM Gaston Browne: Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines Undermining Efforts to Revive LIAT
St Kitts and Nevis (WINN): The Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, Mr. Gaston Browne is accusing Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines of attempting to undermine his country's efforts to revive the fortunes of the debt-ridden regional airline LIAT.
LIAT suspended services to Barbados and St. Vincent and the Grenadines after the airline was informed new entry arrangements were necessary.
Mr. Browne, speaking on Pointe FM in Antigua, said LIAT was being asked to comply with instructions that other airlines do not have to follow.
He said the matter may well be put before the Caribbean Court of Justice but he is hopeful that 'good sense' will prevail and permission would be granted in the coming days.
LIAT's court-appointed administrator Cleveland Seaford is also expressing surprise at the move from Barbados and St Vincent and the Grenadines stating that revenue will be affected as a result of the cancellations.
LIAT earlier announced that effective November 30, it would resume flights to Antigua & Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, St Lucia, St Kitts & Nevis and St. Vincent & the Grenadines.

Q: change image on button when pressed I have a button that changes images when pressed, the problem is that I want to change it between more than just 2.
The button is set up to function as the regular image, and while it's being pressed, it's replaced with a slightly darker version of the same image.
Unfortunately, I want to have more than one base image.  I want to implement 9 different base images (which will be changed by code), and 9 respective images to display while the button is pressed.  The drawable XML file looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/pressedbrownie" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/brownie0"/>
</selector>

but I want to set @drawable/pressedbrownie to be one of 9 different values, based on whatever the program decides, and same thing with @drawable/brownie0.
Can the primaryPage.java file detect when the button is being pressed, or do I have some XML magic to learn?

A: You can define 9 different selectors(xml drawables) under res/drawable folder, like your current selector(xml drawable). Set different drawables to their pressed states.
And use one of these selectors by programmatically setting them as the background.
// I assume you have a button an instance of Button in your layout with id button.
Button button = (Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
// choose on of the selectors with an if/else or switch/case statement
// and set as the background of your button.
button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.button_bg_1);
// or
button.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.button_bg_9);

A: Two approaches come to mind:

*

*If you're more comfortable sticking with XML, you could create 9
different State List selector XMLs (one for each image pair),
and then swap which selector file is being used by the button as
needed.

*You can programmatically create a StateListDrawable to assign to
the button as needed.

Option 1:
Create a series of State Lists.
brownie_selector0.XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/pressedbrownie0" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/brownie0"/>
</selector>

brownie_selector1.XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<selector xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<item android:drawable="@drawable/pressedbrownie1" android:state_pressed="true"/>
<item android:drawable="@drawable/brownie1"/>
</selector>

...and so on.
Then change which State List is assigned to the button. For example using a switch:
...
Button brownieButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.myBrownieButton);
switch (brownieType) {  // brownieType would be an int indicating which State List is needed
case 0:
    brownieButton.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.id.brownie_selector0));
    break;
case 1:
    brownieButton.setBackground(getResources().getDrawable(R.id.brownie_selector1));
    break;
...
}

Option 2
Do it all in code.
First create SparseIntArrays of your drawables:
int drawableId;
String drawableName;
SparseIntArray brownieNormal = new SparseIntArray(totalNumberOfBrownies);
SparseIntArray browniePressed = new SparseIntArray(totalNumberOfBrownies);
// iterate through all the required brownie pairs
for (int i = 0; i < totalNumberOfBrownies; i++) {
    // generate the required file name
    drawableName = "brownie" + i;
    // find the id of the required drawable using the generated file name
    drawableId = getResources().getIdentifier(drawableName, "drawable", getPackageName());
    // put the resulting drawable id into the SparseIntArray
    brownieNormal.put(n, drawableId);
    // repeat for the pressed images
    drawableName = "pressedBrownie" + i;
    drawableId = getResources().getIdentifier(drawableName, "drawable", getPackageName());
    browniePressed.put(n, drawableId);
}

Then create and assign a suitable StateListDrawable as required.
private StateListDrawable mBrownieStates;
...

// method to deal with when mBrownieType changes
private void changeBrownieButtonStateListDrawable(int brownieType);
    // reset mBrownieStates to a fresh StateListDrawable
    mBrownieStates = new StateListDrawable();
    // add the drawable for the pressed state
    mBrownieStates.addState(new int[] {android.R.attr.state_pressed}, browniePressed.get(brownieType));
    // add the drawable for the default state
    mBrownieStates.addState(new int[] {}, brownieNormal.get(brownieType));

    // update the button with the newly defined StateListDrawable
    Button brownieButton = (Button)findViewById(R.id.myBrownieButton);
    brownieButton.setBackground(mBrownieStates);
}

China: Workers Rising?

INSURGENCY TRAP: LABOR POLITICS IN POSTSOCIALIST CHINA BY ELI FRIEDMAN INSTITUTE FOR LABOR RESEARCH: CORNELL UNIVERSITY PRESS, 2014, 232 PAGES, $24.95 PAPERBACK.
by Jane Slaughter
From Against the Current
When I read a book about rebellious factory workers in China, what I want to know is: Where are all the wildcat strikes heading? Will workers be able to build real (at this point illegal) unions? Will they be able to keep any kind of organization going? Will they ever be able to make connections across factories and coordinate their actions?
China's leaders are intent on making the 21st century the Chinese century. To do so they will need the cooperation of the world's largest working class, which these days is showing more restiveness than that of just about any other country. It would be good to read that this very new working class, an immense potential source of global worker solidarity, is overcoming its fragmentation and getting organized.
Neither of two fascinating books about China in 2014 and 2015 give me the answer that I want to hear.
Lu Zhang is assistant professor at Temple University and a researcher who interviewed 200 Chinese auto workers and 78 managers, party cadres and union officials at seven assembly plants. She does not predict the future except to say that local rebellions will continue and that the All-China Federation of Trade Unions (ACFTU), which is actually part of the government and the only "union" allowed, will likely become more active on workers' behalf.
Eli Friedman, assistant professor at Cornell's Institute for Labor Research who speaks Mandarin and has spent a great deal of time in China, sees it as next to impossible that workers will win better conditions through the ACFTU or through legislation, which goes unenforced. He's pessimistic about the legalization of real unions. He, too, says worker unrest will continue, but in its current fragmented form, not strong enough to force reforms, and inequality and poverty will persist.
It's not a pretty picture, and not hopeful for workers in the West who are constantly told by management that they are competing against "the China price."
Still, both authors take us inside the astounding manifestations of worker discontent that have the central government worried enough, in the last year, to crack down. The government has suppressed the worker-centered NGOs that sprang up in various cities to help workers file legal claims for unpaid wages or to assist on health and safety issues. It even shut down a labor-research center at SunYat-sen University in Guangzhou, co-sponsored by the University of California, Berkeley, that the regime found too friendly to worker concerns.
The message coming from the government these days is all about avoiding pernicious "Western influences" — which would include independent unions.
Growing Protests and Limits
Strikes and labor protests in China more than doubled last year to 1,379, according to the China Labour Bulletin, based in Hong Kong. In 2011 there were only 185. All strikes take place outside the official channels of the union.
Friedman shows us throughout Insurgency Trap: Labor Politics in Postsocialist China how the ACFTU takes a "passive repressive" response to worker unrest — and sometimes not so passive. His case studies show how in even the supposed best examples of collective contracts — the ones ACFTU officials show to visiting foreign unionists — workers find their union worthless and the contracts go unenforced.
His upshot, confirmed by other observers, is that the rising wave of protests wins gains for particular groups of workers but does not result in lasting organizations that workers could use to fight to alter the balance of power.
China's government makes sure that's the case because it fears independent worker organization more than anything — far more than outbursts of worker unrest.
A main role of the ACFTU, sometimes aided by the police, is to block any budding organization that might arise. The Wall Street Journal reports that during a recent strike at a clothing factory in Shenzhen, police entered the plant to force workers back to their jobs, breaking from past police practice of staying outside the premises.
A strike by 100 women workers at a small bike-light factory in Shenzhen in May this year is perhaps emblematic. Labor Notes reports that a Taiwanese company, New An Lun Lamp, was ignoring labor law and social insurance policies by not paying into workers' pension or housing funds.
The company refused to pay for sick, maternity, work injury, or marriage leave or the high-temperature allowance that workers were entitled to. Bathrooms were locked except during official breaks. When workers held a sit-in in May, 100 police came to help the company move out finished bike lights. Strikers were evicted and nine were arrested.
The nature of the ACFTU is fairly well known; Friedman explains that it's under the control of the government at the national and city levels, while at the company level, it's controlled by the employer. Higher-level officials are not elected but appointed. They're rotated in and out of union jobs and other positions in the state machinery.
Friedman says, "It is not at all unusual for people with no experience in trade unionism whatsoever to be appointed to very high-level positions...leadership is frequently unfamiliar with, and often uninterested in, labor issues...these officials think of themselves as, and behave like, government officials."
Indeed, the 2001 Trade Union Law says that in the event of a work stoppage, the "union shall assist the enterprise or institution in properly dealing with the matter so as to help restore the normal order of production and other work as soon as possible."
At the company level, Friedman reports, "it is quite common to have human resource managers or the enterprise owner serve as union chairs." And if a pro-worker union chair somehow makes it into office, "there are countless examples of activist union chairs being summarily fired for antagonizing management."
Faced with a union like that, what are workers to do? Over and over again, they organize on their own.
Auto Workers' Strike Wave
Friedman details the famous 2010 strike wave in the auto sector. It began when about 50 workers from the assembly department of a Honda powertrain factory sat down in front of the plant in May, demanding a big raise of 800 RMB ($50 a month). The strike spread to other departments, and within a week the lack of parts had shut down every Honda facility in China.
At the start of the strike's second week, the district-level union federation sent vanloads of what appeared to be hired thugs, wearing union insignia, who ordered strikers to return to work. They assaulted some workers.
This intervention reinvigorated the strike — but also brought in riot police to cordon off the road to the factory. The local government, Friedman says, wanted neither violent confrontation nor the possibility that the strikers might leave the grounds.
The union chair had been involved in negotiations with management, but essentially took Honda's side. In order to resolve the strike, local government now actually demanded that the strikers select their own representatives. Bravely, the strikers stated that they would accept nothing less than their original demands without a general meeting of the workers.
In the end, they got wage increases of 500 RMB, and 600 RMB for the second-tier "intern" workers, a hike for the interns of more than 70%. Says Friedman, "Such large wage increases in response to strikes were unprecedented."
That summer, strikes spread throughout the auto industry and spilled into other sectors. At Denso, a major parts supplier for Toyota, 200 workers met in secret to plan their walkout. They blocked trucks from leaving the plant, elected 27 representatives to negotiate, and demanded an 800 RMB raise. They got it.
In the northern city of Dalian, 70,000 workers struck at 73 employers in a development zone, winning average increases of 34.5%.
Friedman says the dozens of reported strikes are surely a small portion of those that occurred that year. Wage increases around the country — sometimes offered by management preemptively — prompted media commentators to declare the end of low-wage labor in China. That was premature.
The Honda strikers were perhaps the most daring and "political" of the strikers: one of their demands was for a "reorganized" union, that is, one that represented its members. After the strike, the ACFTU allowed workers to elect their reps — but only at the level of the team, representing about 30 people. At higher levels, management stepped in, and mostly white-collar employees won the elections.
Friedman interviewed Honda workers in July 2010 and found them dismissive of the union, finding no change since the strike: "They just collect the dues each month and that's it." "If this company has a union or not, it makes no difference."
It would seem hopeful that the following winter, the elected representatives participated in wage negotiations at the Honda powertrain plant, and that management granted another 611 RMB raise. Some observers might seize on this as evidence of a real change in power relations. And Friedman notes how much power these workers potentially had, because they were the sole supplier of some parts for Honda in China — and because they'd demonstrated their willingness to act.
But he also points out that their wages are still low, below those of Honda assembly plant workers in China, and that no gains were made on any non-wage issues.
Most important for long-term hopes for worker resistance: Workers in the strike wave of 2010 were clearly inspired by each other, but "there was no coordination between strikers from different factories."
Two-Tier Workforce
In Inside China's Automobile Factories: The Politics of Labor and Worker Resistance, Lu Zhang describes vividly the two-tier system in Chinese auto plants. Most are joint ventures between foreign companies and local or regional governments. All are new and modern; all use a form of the Toyota lean production system, which Lu describes as grueling, monotonous, exhausting and authoritarian.
In particular, they hire a core of formal workers who have higher wages than the average Chinese factory hand and some job security — although their initial contracts may be as short as one year — and a large number of temp agency workers.
Temp workers tend to be between 18 and 24 years old; they earn half to two-thirds the pay of formal workers, with far fewer benefits. They do the same jobs as formal workers, often for years, but with no hope of becoming permanent.
In six assembly plants Zhang studied, the percentage of temporary workers ranged from a third to 60% of the workforce. (Oddly, the one plant that did not use temporaries as of 2011 was a Japanese joint venture.) Even lower in the hierarchy are student interns, who must work six months in order to graduate from technical school. They get no training except in basic jobs on the assembly line and receive only a base wage, with no benefits. Sometimes their schools retain a portion of their pay.
At two plants, student interns were 30% of the workforce, and overall they were 30% of the temporary workforce.
Temp agency workers have become ubiquitous in China: at 60 million, they are 20% of the employed population, used long-term alongside regular workers not just in factories but in government agencies and industries of all sorts.
Lu explains the paradox of this system, which she calls "labor force dualism." Management began using temporaries for flexibility in numbers, to save money on wages and, presumably, to create a division inside the workforce that would defeat solidarity.
It's the oldest trick in the book: create loyalty, or at least a reluctance to rock the boat, among one segment of the workforce ("at least we're not as bad off as those other guys"). And make the other segment more vulnerable, more fearful of losing their jobs, and thus more likely to conform to management demands.
But dualism hasn't worked as well as management hoped. Although it has kept formal workers from actively supporting the temps, for temporary workers it has become "a continuing source of irritation and an impetus to rebel," Lu reports.
She notes three characteristics of temporary workers that help when they decide to dissent. Both regular temps and student workers are more likely to be urban, with higher education levels, than former temporaries who were migrants from the country. Even workers from rural areas want to stay in the city and get ahead. All talked of the injustice of their unequal treatment.
Second, temp workers are concentrated in dormitories, enabling them to form close connections. Third, they are adept at using social media. Three-quarters of those interviewed said they were active on online forums, and half said they had posted online comments about their jobs.
Presumably, many or most of those comments were complaints. One stated, "Although we work side by side with formal workers, they have preference over the job assignments, and they usually work at the same position as long as they want. But we have no choice, and we are...allocated to the least desirable positions — those tiring and dirty jobs, most at the welding shop."
Temps frequently cited the "equal pay for equal work" clause in China's labor law and denounced the illegality and injustice they suffered. Their deep resentment of the dual system meant that "their claims and protests were often explosive and morally based," Lu writes.
A Pair of Strikes
Temporaries therefore resorted to minor sabotage, absenteeism, slowdown, and collective resignations. Most effective and most interesting were strikes.
At one state-owned plant, the vocational school that supplied student workers was late with their pay. More than 300 night-shift student workers decided not to go to work; they stayed in their dorm sleeping and a whole assembly line stopped.
A formal worker reported, "It was fun to watch managers running around and trying to find workers to get the line to start running again. But it was impossible when three-fifths of the line workers [temporary workers] went on strike."
Strikers' descriptions from a group interview are worth quoting at length:
"The shop manager came to our dorms one hour later and asked us to go back to work. We said not until we got paid our wages in arrears. The manager said they would discuss the issue with our school but we must go back to work first. No one responded. That was almost 10 p.m. And we learned that our co-workers, the formal workers, went back home without working as well. The whole assembly shop was shut down.
"The following morning the production manager and the HR manager came to our residence...They promised to solve the problem, but we must go back to work immediately. They threatened to fire those who didn't go back to work. Many of us were frightened, but we insisted on getting paid first.
"Our brothers in the day shift stayed with us and no one showed up at work....The vice principal of our school...apologized and said... we should see our paychecks in our bank accounts by noon. And we did. Most of us went back to work shortly afterwards.
"At that moment, you feel like we are all staying together, we are all supporting each other. You realize at least I am not alone...That makes you feel stronger. It's a great feeling!"
Lu notes the power the student workers had, to shut down the plant during peak season. She credits the formal workers with "silent support;" they too were feeling resentful, because of heavy overtime and a puny bonus. A team leader said that the student workers' strike became an outlet for the formal workers to vent their discontent as well.
Four months later, the temporary workers upped the ante. Formal workers had gotten a raise but temp workers nothing. Again 300 student workers stayed in their dorms, demanding the same wage increase formal workers had received.
This time management took a hard line: return to work by noon or be fired. Eighteen workers who did not return were dismissed. And this time the dual system worked as management wanted it to: formal workers were not supportive.
Lu quotes one formal worker giving the classic "you're lucky to have a job" rationale: "The market is not that good these days...You know, it is just impossible to pay everyone the same. Otherwise, why would the factory even bother to hire temporary workers? Because it needs cheap and flexible hands. I also think this is unfair. But look, there are so many people who don't even have a job. They [temp workers] should feel lucky to even have a job and work here."
The temp workers believed that their strike did cause management to give raises a month later: 100 RMB for those who struck and 200 for those who did not. They saw their main problem as having no representative to speak for them: "Individually, everyone was scared to be identified as black sheep and get fired. If we could have a union or an organization that can genuinely represent us and speak for us, things could have been different."
Can Stability Be Maintained?
Lu Zhang emphasizes throughout the central government's focus on maintaining "stability." As Friedman puts it, "different levels of the state are all concerned about worker unrest and are searching for various methods of dealing with the problem."
Guangdong province, north of Hong Kong, produces more than a quarter of China's exports and is a major site of worker restiveness and strikes. Last year more than 40,000 workers there, in seven factories, for two weeks struck the Yue Yuen company, which makes a fifth of the world's sport shoes, including Nike and Adidas.
They demanded that the company stop short-changing their pension contributions — and the company not only gave in but raised their pay by 230 RMB. According to a Hong Kong NGO, in the first quarter of this year 11 large factory strikes in Guangdong brought about violent police reprisals.
Guangdong officials responded by passing a labor law with disturbing implications. Workers will have the right to demand that their employers negotiate over wages and benefits — but the law spells out that this can happen only through the ACFTU. And the law makes it illegal to strike during such negotiations — for the first time officially prohibiting strikes and making possible long prison terms for violators.
Previously labor law had been silent on the legality of strikes; it was a "grey area," according to Anita Chan, longtime China labor scholar and editor of Chinese Workers in Comparative Perspective. No one has as yet been arrested for striking, she says, but rather for "disturbing the peace" or "causing social instability."
The new law "legalizes" strikes only in order to prohibit them, spelling out a long list of banned actions: "Employees are forbidden to initiate or promote a collective bargaining by: (i) refusing to complete assigned duties by breaching employment contract; (ii) breaching disciplinary rules, or forcing other employees to leave their duty; or (iii) blocking up entries and exits of enterprise or traffic arteries, impeding the transportation of personnel and assets, destroying equipments and facilities, or impairing business order or public order."
Such a law, says Chan, "only means there will from then onwards be many 'illegal' strikes, allowing the government and the police to crack down."
Still, even without legal protections, Chinese factory workers have been remarkably unafraid to take bold action and have learned that it often works, in the short term. They apparently don't buy into the government's official goal of a "harmonious society," at least in practice.
Lu's book is full of evidence that workers, formal and temporary, see through the notion that all is fair under "socialism with Chinese characteristics" — read, capitalism. They are experiencing the worst of both worlds — capitalist exploitation and the harshness of its lean production regime, combined with the repression of a government accustomed to one-party rule and determined to keep it that way.
Lu Zhang urges us to look past the "localized, cellular, and apolitical" nature of Chinese workers' outbursts and instead "identify the potential for transformation from below." The question is whether workers' bravery and initiative can outmaneuver the corporations and government who are betting everything on their ability to contain them. The potential is enormous, as China's rulers are well aware.

Will student accommodation investment grow further in 2018?
The Purpose Built Student Accommodation (PBSA) asset class is now barely recognisable, considering what it was like even five years ago. Whether we like it or not, students and higher education have become big business since the introduction of tuition fees in 1998.
Originally just £1,000 per term, and means tested, the majority of tuition fees are now just shy of £10,000 per term, with student debt in some circumstances exceeding £50,000 by the time students have graduated.
This, in turn, has commodified education to the extent that almost all aspects of student life are now measured in terms of potential profit, whether that is accommodation, stationary, levels of education or simply student shops on campus.
Some cannot abide the idea of higher education being transformed into business statistics in this way, but on the other side of the argument it's almost impossible to deny that standards have been raised at the same time.
As an example, in Manchester alone, The University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University and The University of Salford have all unveiled multi-million pound buildings, freshly built, in recent years.
Student satisfaction is regularly measured highly, although opinions on tuition fees themselves tend to be extremely negative. The experience of attending higher education is a good one, it seems, despite fears over affordability.
With a moving away from state-funded university education came the inevitable step that universities would no longer seek to build or maintain their own student housing stock, especially as privately rented options began to spring up with better facilities in better locations.
Anybody who attended university in institutionally-owned accommodation may well remember halls that resembled hospitals with shared bathroom facilities and kitchen areas that barely had enough room for a pan to cook noodles in.
That's changed, though, and as the years have progressed and the institutions that provide higher education have improved their facilities on campus, so too have private development companies that have invested millions into state-of-the-art accommodation either newly built or through architectural salvage, as we covered last week.
With the growing prominence of 'student pods' has come a huge increase in private investment into them. Student landlords needn't be in the same bracket as those offering large houses anymore, much less the stress and responsibility that comes with it.
Many have invested relatively small sums of money, in comparison to traditional residential buy-to-let, into student pods to receive high yields and good capital gains. Despite re-sale not being as liquid or easy as residential, the outlay and returns are often well worth the difference.
According to Savills most recent report on student housing, released in May 2017, 68,000 beds traded in 2016 with a total value of £4.5bn. In 2017 they expect this to rise to 75,000 beds trading for £5.3bn, a rise of 17% year on year.
Those numbers represent a rather staggering year-on-year increase, and the fact remains that higher education is gaining in popularity rather than contracting.
EU students and international students in particular appear to be eyeing the UK as one of the premium global education destinations along with the United States and Europe. With a number of the UK's universities sitting comfortably highly in global league tables.
According to JLL, London's full-time student population is expected to rise by 50% over the next 10 years, which will exacerbate the existing shortfall in student housing supply.
According to figures released by Savills there were 112,000 full time students in the UK that had travelled from the EU last year, and 285,000 from other countries across the globe. According to Universities UK this translates into a not insignificant £25bn contribution to the UK economy, with a decent amount of that finding its way towards student rents.
According to UCAS, the international student community is set to rise further by 6% roughly each year.
If PBSA investment were to simply continue at the same rate next year, this would represent a hefty £901m increase, taking the total to £6.2bn invested into the asset class in 2018.
With yields high and capital growth and rent increases following suit, who can confidently say that's unlikely to happen?

Dont'e Deayon active, Ben Skowronek inactive for Rams-Packers
Nov 28, 2021 at 12:07 PM
Stu Jackson
GREEN BAY, Wisc. – Rams cornerback Dont'e Deayon is active for today's game against the Packers at Lambeau Field (1:25 p.m. pacific time, FOX) after entering the game as questionable.
Wide receiver Landen Akers, who was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday, is also active for L.A.
Under a rule created in 2020, teams are allowed to elevate up to two players from their practice squad to their game-day roster the day before the game per week. After the game, the players can return to the practice squad without being exposed to waivers. Each player on the practice squad can be elevated a maximum of two times; if a team wants to add him to the active roster after that, it must sign him to the active roster. This is Akers' first elevation.
Meanwhile, wide receiver Ben Skowronek (back) is inactive after the Rams downgraded him to out on Saturday.
For the Packers, running back Aaron Jones, wide receiver Allen Lazard and linebacker Rashan Gary are all active after entering the game as questionable.
Below are the inactives for both teams:
QB Bryce Perkins
S JuJu Hughes
OLB Chris Garrett
OL Alaric Jackson
OL Tremayne Anchrum Jr.
WR Ben Skowronek
CB Kevin King
S Vernon Scott

What to Consider when Choosing a Clearing House
Central clearing is fast becoming a reality. Counterparties in the US have been clearing standardised interest rate swaps and credit derivative transactions since 2013. In Europe, the first phase of clearing began on 21 June 2016. Under the Financial Markets Act, the first phase of mandatory clearing could apply as soon as the second half of 2017. Many Central Clearing Houses or Central Counterparties ('CCPs') have sprung up all over the globe, each one offering something slightly different – whether it's the products they can clear, or the margin that they require. As a result, it is pertinent for potential Clearing Members ('CMs') to consider what is important in choosing a CCP for their clearing requirements, based on each CM's risk policies.
Many articles have been written about CCPs becoming the most systemically important entities in the financial markets, and the risk that these entities may indeed become the new 'too big to fail' entities. It is therefore prudent to assess the potential risks that a CM may bear when facing a CCP. Some aspects to consider when making a choice as to which CCP to engage with are as follows:
CCPs are self-regulating entities; meaning each CCP has a set of rules, which it will impose on its CMs. One should ensure that the rules disclose the CCP's procedures and risk management methods, and are transparent in this regard.
Regulation requires CCPs to maintain an insurance policy against defaulting CMs (usually in the form of a default fund, which CMs contribute to through the posting of Initial Margin, or 'IM', amounts). The CCP's rules should be clear around how IM is calculated and how the CCP stress tests that default fund. As a CM, you want to ensure that contributions from non-defaulting CMs to 'bail out' a defaulting CM only kick in once all the IM of the defaulting CM has been exhausted. In other words, you want to ensure that fellow CMs' risk is minimal.
In order to ensure the CCP has 'skin in the game', one would also expect that if the defaulting CM's IM contributions were not sufficient to fulfill the defaulting CM's obligations, a portion of the CCP's own assets may be applied as well as contributions from non-defaulting CMs. However, it is important to balance this against ensuring the CCP does not go into resolution as a result of having to 'bail out' a defaulting CM. The default fund waterfall, outlining what assets are used to fulfill a defaulting CM's obligations, and at which point, is therefore a critical assessment to make in choosing a CCP.
For South African counterparties it would also be important to assess what types of assets the CCP will accept as IM. Most of the established CCPs overseas will only accept G7 cash and a limited list of government bonds from G7 countries. This is for good reason: the CCP has to ensure it maintains liquidity at all times, and limiting IM assets to highly liquid assets is one of the ways in which it does this. However, for South African counterparties, this brings with it other risks, namely foreign exchange risk: having to enter into other transactions like repo or securities lending transactions to back on the required G7 assets that it needs. The Financial Markets Act does permit foreign CCPs to operate clearing services in South Africa, but the general feeling in the local market is that unless that CCP were to accept Rand-based collateral (especially for clearing Rand-based products), there would be limited uptake. At this point, no CCPs have been registered or granted a license under the Financial Markets Act.
Regulation requires that the CCP offer the CM different options pertaining to segregation of the IM accounts. The two main types of segregation model offered are omnibus IM account ('OIM') and individually segregated IM account ('ISIM'). The OIM means that IM is segregated from the CCP's own assets, but all CMs' IM is held in one co-mingled account. This model is usually the cheaper option, but it does increase fellow CM risk (in that if a fellow CM defaults, the IM used to fulfill the defaulting CM's obligations is not segregated from other non-defaulting CMs' assets). The ISIM model, whilst being the more expensive option, segregates each CM's IM both from the CCP's own assets and from the other CMs' assets.
