Q: Hide span in second table row through jQuery I have a table that is generated in flask:

      Fall 2016 Course Preferences

    {% for row in data.course_preferences %}

            {{ row.name }}

    {% endfor %}

I want to have the up and down arrows move the order of the table rows. Because the first table row (not including the header) is at the top, the up arrow is not needed. I want to hide this arrow.
I am able to find that span with the following:
$('#preferencesTable tr:nth-child(2) span')[2]

which returns
::before

But I lose all of the abilities to show and hide the span (.css, .hide, etc. are no longer valid).
How can I hide this span only on the first row?

A: You need to access the first child under the tbody of the table, then you can find the span with class glyphicon-arrow-up and hide it. Also using [2] to access the span will return a dom element reference not a jQuery object so you won't be able to call any jQuery methods using it.
The tr:nth-child(2) will select the tr which is the second child of its parent, in this case it will select the second tr in the tbody
$('#preferencesTable tbody tr:first-child span.glyphicon-arrow-up').hide()

A: The answer given by Arun P Johny seems to be correct.
I have additionaly created a jsfiddle: Click here to see the demo
You can put this JS inside an event handler so that on some action it always hide the up arrow for the first row.
$('selector').eventName(function(){
      $('#preferencesTable tbody tr:first-child span.glyphicon-arrow-up').hide();
});

A: I believe the problem is that when you use the square bracket operators, you get a vanilla JavaScript DOM object. Refer to: https://learn.jquery.com/using-jquery-core/faq/how-do-i-pull-a-native-dom-element-from-a-jquery-object/
You can solve it by wrapping that DOM object in $() to get a jQuery object, as follows:
var firstRowSpan = $('#preferencesTable tr:nth-child(2) span')[2];
firstRowSpan = $(firstRowSpan);
firstRowSpan.hide();

It seems I've become a little bit obsessed with wearing unique jewellery as of late. They do such a lovely job of jazzing up an outfit so what's not to love? And you don't get more unique than the stunning pieces from Lymehouse Jewellery.
A few weeks back I got talking to the ever so lovely Jo, the owner of the company, and she offered to send me a pair of her beautiful button earrings for me to share with you all; an opportunity I just jumped at.
Jo makes all of her jewellery herself by hand so it's guaranteed that every pair is made with lots of love, care and attention. She offers a wide and wonderful range of different button designs that are all priced at around the £4 mark, which is a simply wonderful price considering the costly examples you tend to find in most stores at the moment (Topshop, I'm looking at you). The buttons give the pieces a bit of a vintage feel to them, I think, and this is right up my street.
Each of the Lymehouse Jewellery pieces will most definitely perk up any outfit; they come in all different shapes, sizes and colours so you're destined to find one that suits you just perfectly. They also can work well accessorizing both daytime and evening looks.
And for all of us who have skin that sits more on the sensitive side of things, the backs of the earrings are actually made of titanium. This makes them hypo-allergenic. What more could you ask for?
The earrings come packaged in a gorgeous tiny little organza draw-string bag that's been placed in a sturdy little box the perfect size to pop through the letterbox.
The Lymehouse Jewellery Handmade Button Earrings retail at £4.00 and are avaliable online.
What style of jewellery are you rockin' at the moment?

Why Gallery Media is writing songs for brands on TikTok and Instagram
July 8, 2021 | By Kayleigh Barber
Gallery Media spent the first half of 2021 taking the classic jingle advertising strategy into the 21st century by creating custom music and sounds for its brand partners.
About six months ago, the Gary Vaynerchuk-owned media company created a new division that would act as an in-house music production company and write original music for its clients. Those songs crafted for the brands were then included in the TikTok, Instagram Reels and other social media campaigns that the company created on behalf of its clients.
"TikTok and music are synonymous. This is the new form of jingles — original music that is contextually relevant to the platforms that people spend time on these days," said Gallery Media CEO Ryan Harwood.
This new music team — now consisting of three producers and a network of freelance musicians — was formed to help brands stand out on social media from other campaigns. That's because Harwood's team found that content with original audio and music led to a 52% lift in view-through rate compared to registered tracks on platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels, he said.
"Creating your own sound gives a brand even more identity," said Nick Cicero, vp of strategy at streaming and social intelligence company Conviva. "The TikTok audience isn't just about having an affinity for the artist, but rather an affinity to the earworm — the sound gets stuck in your head and adds stickiness to the brand."
Today, despite the fact that original music is an additive to larger social media brand campaigns, the initial idea was not to think of the music division solely as its own revenue stream. This is mainly due to the fact that creating original music or licensing popular music for commercial use is generally very expensive and Harwood wanted to offer a cheaper alternative for audio marketing.
While Harwood would not disclose the price of a social media campaign that includes original music, he told Digiday that clients were paying anywhere from 75-80% less than they would to license a song for commercial use or pay a label for an original track, which could run well into the six-figures range.
To date, the company has sold more than a dozen campaigns with original music written for brands, including AB InBev's Cutwater Spirits, Athleta and Covergirl. Each brand had an original song written for its campaign, which was then shared with Gallery's influencer network as part of an influencer campaign strategy to amplify both the brand and the sound's usage on social media.
Both Cutwater's and Athleta's campaigns used an entire song by a musician that was shared with more than two dozen influencers on Instagram and TikTok who were paid to use it on their channels. The Athleta campaign also had more than 2,000 TikTokers organically use the song in their content.
Covergirl's campaign took it a step further in creating an original sound for the platform. Gallery Media paid TikTok influencer and music producer @katoproducer (with more than 250,000 followers on the platform) to create an original beat on his page that prompted people to duet with him and sing lyrics that included the words "Covergirl" and "clean" for the chance to win $1,000. From there, a winner was selected and the full song was distributed to influencers to post.
In addition to writing new music, Gallery worked with client Marriott Bonvoy to turn the company's manifesto into a spoken-word monologue about the power of travel, which has been used nearly 100 times by other TikTok creators.
Cicero said that while using popular songs that are trending can help build an audience on TikTok, those popular songs are really only free to use on that platform. Any multi-platform campaigns will require hefty licensing fees to use that song commercially elsewhere.
"Being able to create your own audio tracks that start on TikTok are a campaign-proof way to build creative elements that can increase reach and frequency beyond TikTok for ads," said Cicero. "Since sound is the only medium we can consume in parallel with another, having an audio track as an anchor to your branding increases the effectiveness of the message."
TikTok is a significant business for Gallery Media, earning mid-seven-figures of revenue last year. And overall, the company's social media offerings, which include branded content sales on social, influencer marketing, and social creative and now its music arm, represent about 45% of its overall revenue, between those services and its owned and operated social channels PureWow and One37pm. Harwood said this year the company is pacing to double its overall revenue from 2020.

A Different Kind of Embezzlement — DSO Executive Accused of Stealing Trade Secrets
Home Hall of Shame A Different Kind of Embezzlement — DSO Executive Accused of Stealing Trade Secrets
Nathan Cox
Do you have questions about embezzlement? Give Prosperident a call at 888-398-2327 or click HERE.
Earlier this month, a Nashville, Tennessee company filed a federal lawsuit against its former employee alleging trade secrets misappropriation under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, among other claims. The plaintiff, Marquee Dental Partners, LLC, operates dental offices in Tennessee, Alabama, and Kentucky. Marquee purchases existing dental practices and provides administrative services to those practices allowing the doctors and support staff to focus on clinic services and patient care. In a particularly strongly-worded introductory sentence, the complaint reads: "This case shows what it means to be a faithless corporate executive."
According to Marquee, that corporate executive, defendant Nathan Cox, was hired in early January 2016 as the Vice President of Business Development. Mr. Cox was tasked with helping Marquee grow its network. Specifically, Mr. Cox's duties included developing contacts with practices that met certain financial, geographic, and practice-type criteria, cultivating relationships with potential future network members, and gauging their interest in joining Marquee's network. Instead of fulfilling his duties, Marquee alleges that Mr. Cox "concealed the confidential and proprietary information Marquee paid him to collect, develop, and maintain for its exclusive use; provided information instead to multiple Marquee competitors—while still employed by Marquee—in an effort to land a higher paying job; and deleted nearly all of his [8,200 emails] on his way out the door." Marquee claims Mr. Cox abruptly left the country shortly thereafter.
Marquee recovered Mr. Cox's deleted emails and allegedly found that, despite his obligations, he withheld acquisition pipeline information from Marquee. For example, Marquee alleges that one list of potential leads that Mr. Cox sent Marquee included twelve fewer leads than he alluded to in emails to Marquee's competitors.
Marquee brought its claims under the DTSA which was signed into law effective May 11, 2016. In order to prevail in their DTSA claim, Marquee will first need to establish that the information Mr. Cox collected were Marquee's trade secrets. Then, Marquee will need to establish that Mr. Cox's activities amounted to the unauthorized disclosure of Marquee's trade secrets. Though these elements are familiar under state laws, with less than two years on the books, how the DTSA will be used by Plaintiffs and applied by courts is still to be determined. If you're a regular reader, you know we have been keeping our eye out for developments with respect to the DTSA and will continue to do so.
In the meantime, a key lesson can already be gleaned from this case: Trade secret owners must be vigilant. Even trusted executives can misappropriate.

Compact and comfortable, agile and affordable, Caper Chairs move around easily and brighten up any room with colour and flair. They're ideal for informal, flexible spaces where rearranging is encouraged—at home or around the office.
Caper Chairs do so much, and are nice to have around, precisely because designer Jeff Weber kept the needs of the average person in clear view throughout the design process. For those wanting a lightweight chair, he made Caper compact; its armless version weighs just 4.3kg.
He added portability; the chair even has a handle. For versatility, he made Caper stack, so it can be part of the action or out of the way, depending on what you need.
Caper's polypropylene seat and back are contoured for comfort, flexible and colourful enough to brighten up any room. Holes in the material allow your body to breathe, so moisture and heat dissipate, so you remain cool.
Weber believes that design is "the connective tissue" between people and the environment, and that the quality of that design, whether of a building or a chair, has a profound effect on quality of life. Caper seating, he says, achieves its high level of performance and comfort by "using standard materials in novel ways".

A fully hyperlinked version of this memo is available to subscribers to Lofchie's Guide to Broker-Dealer Regulation.
On July 27, 2011, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") adopted Rule 13h-1 ("Rule 13h-1" or the "Large Trader Rule") and related Form 13H as directed by Section 13(h) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act").1 Rule 13h-1 requires each "Large Trader" (as defined in the Large Trader Rule) to (i) identify itself by filing and periodically updating Form 13H with the SEC and (ii) disclose to each SEC-registered broker-dealer, through which it trades its large trader identification number ("LTID") and all accounts to which that LTID applies. Rule 13h-1 also requires registered broker-dealers to (i) monitor accounts for the purpose of identifying "Unidentified Large Traders," (ii) capture certain information relating to all transactions on behalf of Large Traders and Unidentified Large Traders that are effected directly or indirectly by or through it, and (iii) make such information available to the SEC through the already-established trade-reporting infrastructure, commonly referred to as the electronic blue sheets ("EBS").
Rule 13h-1 will become technically effective on October 3, 2011, but (i) Large Traders will have until December 1, 2011 to comply with the requirements of the Large Trader Rule2 and (ii) broker-dealers will have until April 30, 2012 to comply with the requirements under the Large Trader Rule to maintain records, report transaction data when requested, and monitor Large Trader activity.
Part I below discusses the application of Rule 13h-1 and Form 13H to Large Traders; Part II discusses the application of Rule 13h-1 to registered broker-dealers. At the end of each Part, we have also set forth suggested steps that entities should take as part of their compliance with Rule 13h-1. Note that a registered broker-dealer can also be a Large Trader and, therefore, may have to comply with both sets of requirements.
For purposes of Rule 13h-1, a Large Trader is (i) any "person" that voluntarily registers as a Large Trader;8 (ii) any person that directly exercises "investment discretion" over one or more accounts through which transactions in national market system securities ("NMS securities" and each such security an "NMS security")9 are effected through one or more registered broker-dealers in amounts that, in the aggregate, satisfy the "identifying activity level;" (iii) any person that "controls" another person that is a Large Trader; and (iv) any person that would be a Large Trader if such person's transactions were aggregated with the transactions of all other entities controlled by such person.
The term "person" means "a natural person, company, government, or political subdivision, agency, or instrumentality of a government."10 Unlike Section 13(f) of the Exchange Act, Section 13(h) does not provide an exemption for natural persons.
Rule 13h-1(a)(3) defines "control" as "the possession, direct or indirect, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a person, whether through the ownership of securities, by contract, or otherwise." For purposes of Rule 13h-1, any person that directly or indirectly has the right to vote or direct the vote of 25% or more of a class of voting securities of an entity or has the power to sell or direct the sale of 25% or more of a class of voting securities of such entity or, in the case of a partnership, has the right to receive, upon dissolution, or has contributed, 25% or more of the capital, is presumed to control that entity.
Rule 13h-1 adopts the definition of "investment discretion" set forth at Section 3(a)(35) of the Exchange Act.11 As defined at Section 3(a)(35), the exercise of "investment discretion" includes both the authority to determine what securities to purchase or sell as well as the making of decisions as to purchases or sales even though another person may have responsibility for investment decisions. (The term "investment discretion" is used in Section 28(e) of the Exchange Act – the exemption for "soft dollars" – and a number of no-action letters issued under that Section discusses the meaning of the term.) An employee that exercises "investment discretion" within the scope of employment is deemed to do so on behalf of the employer.
Because a person is deemed to exercise "investment discretion" for purposes of Section 3(a)(35) merely by having "authority" it would appear that, for purposes of the Large Trader definition, a person would be deemed to exercise investment discretion over an account regardless of whether that person in fact exercised such discretion.
Rule 13h-1(a)(7) defines the term "identifying activity level" as aggregate "transactions" in NMS securities that are effected by or through one or more registered broker-dealers equal to or greater than: (1) during a calendar day, either two million shares or shares with a fair market value of $20 million; or (2) during a calendar month, either twenty million shares or shares with a fair market value of $200 million.
Significantly, transactions "count" only towards the identifying activity level if they are conducted through a "registered broker-dealer": i.e., an SEC-registered broker-dealer. Accordingly, while the Large Trader provisions of Rule 13h-1 apply equally to all U.S. and foreign persons (as discussed further at section B(1) of this Part I), transactions effected by or through a foreign broker-dealer (i.e., a non-SEC-registered broker-dealer) would not count towards identifying activity level.
The term "transaction" is defined to mean all transactions in NMS securities, excluding exercises or assignments of option contracts and certain specifically enumerated transactions, as discussed further at subsections (i) and (ii) below.
Moreover, as noted above, only purchases and sales of the options themselves, and not transactions in the underlying securities pursuant to exercises or assignments of such options, need to be counted. By excluding purchases and sales pursuant to exercises or assignments, the Large Trader Rule avoids double-counting towards the applicable identification threshold.
For purposes of calculating the "identifying activity level," each qualifying transaction must be separately accounted for without taking into account offsetting transactions, whether in the same account or in different accounts.18 For example, a purchase of 100 shares of XYZ at $10 a share in one account and a sale of 100 shares of XYZ at $10 in another account would aggregate to 200 shares (100 shares purchased plus 100 shares sold) with a market value of $2,000 (200 shares times $10). Similarly, transactions that make up complex option strategies or stock/option strategies should be added for purposes of calculating volume and market value.
In practice, a parent can always satisfy the Form 13H filing requirement of its subsidiaries. Pushing down the Form 13H filing requirement is more problematic, however, and requires that every person under common control that exercises discretion directly or indirectly over an account with an SEC-registered broker-dealer through which covered transactions in NMS securities occur either itself files a Form 13H or is under the control, directly or indirectly, of a person that both files a Form 13H and is itself under the same common control.
As the foregoing suggests, the correct utilization of the push down option, and, therefore, whether a particular person needs to file a Form 13H, or can rely upon a filing by another person, is likely to require careful consideration. This is particularly true the more complex the structure of ownership and control becomes. For this reason, a number of examples illustrating the applicability of the push up and push down options in a variety of structures are set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto.
Where a Large Trader files on behalf of itself and one or more parent entities, it would still be required to identify the parent entity on its Form 13H filing, and where an affiliate of such Large Trader also files a Form 13H, both filing entities must identify the other in Item 4(c) of Form 13H as an affiliate filing separately. This enables the SEC to tell what entities are under common control of a parent company and allows the SEC to assign LTIDs that references such common parent.
As discussed further below, Form 13H provides for an initial filing as well as annual filings and filings related to amendments, inactive status, reactivation of active status and termination of status as a Large Trader.
A Large Trader must file its initial Form 13H ("Initial Filing") with the SEC "promptly" upon satisfaction of the identifying activity level. The SEC has indicated that under "normal" circumstances it would be appropriate for a Large Trader to make its Initial Filing (as discussed further at subsection (e)) within 10 days after the Large Trader effects aggregate transactions at least equal to the identifying activity level.23 The SEC declined giving further guidance for circumstances that are not "normal," stating that "promptly" is an appropriate standard because it emphasizes the need for filings to be submitted without delay to ensure their timeliness while affording filers a limited degree of flexibility.
Introduction: Background Information About the Large Trader and its Authorized Person. The introductory section of Form 13H requires the Large Trader to provide its mailing address. Additionally, the introductory section requires that the following information be provided about the natural person authorized to submit the Form 13H on behalf of the Large Trader ("Authorized Person"): business address, telephone number, facsimile number, and e-mail address.
Item 1: Businesses of the Large Trader. In Item 1(a) of the Form, the Large Trader must indicate by checking off the appropriate boxes the types of businesses in which it or any of its affiliates engage.24 Item 1(b) of the Form requires that the Large Trader provide the following for itself and its Securities Affiliates:25 a description of the nature of its operations, including a general description of its trading strategies.26 The SEC has stated that collection of this descriptive information will allow itself to better understand each Large Trader and will allow the SEC to more carefully tailor requests both to registered broker-dealers for Large Trader transaction data and, if necessary, to Large Traders for additional information pursuant to Rule 13h-1(b)(4).
Item 2: Securities and Exchange Commission Filings. Item 2 requires the Large Trader to indicate whether it or any of its Securities Affiliates files any other forms with the SEC. If the Large Trader or any of its Securities Affiliates file other forms with the SEC, Item 2 requires the disclosure of each filing entity, the form(s) filed, and the CIK number.
Item 3: CFTC Registration and Foreign Regulators. The Large Trader must disclose on Item 3(a) whether it or any of its affiliates are registered with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission ("CFTC"). Item 3(b) is less expansive and requires only the Large Trader to disclose whether it or any of its Securities Affiliates are regulated by a foreign regulator. If so, the Large Trader is required to identify each entity and the CFTC registration number or primary foreign regulator, as applicable.
Item 4: Organization Information. Item 4(a) requires the Large Trader to attach an organizational chart.27 As part of Item 4(b), the Large Trader is required to list a narrative description of the relationship between the Large Trader and each Securities Affiliate and each entity identified in Item 3(a). Large Traders should anticipate that they may be questioned by the SEC not only about common ownership but also about shared employees and common or as coordinated trading or investment strategies. Additionally, the Large Trader must describe the business and disclose the market participation identification number (if any) for each of those entities. Item 4(c) requires the provision of the LTIDs, including LTID suffixes, for all entities within the Large Trader that file a separate Form 13H (if any). Finally, Item 4(d) allows the Large Trader to assign suffixes to its affiliates, that is, to append additional characters (a suffix)28 to sub-identify particular units that directly control any of the Large Trader's accounts.
Item 5: Legal Form of the Large Trader. The Large Trader must choose one or more of the following statuses under Item 5(a): individual, partnership, limited liability partnership, limited partnership, corporation, trustee or limited liability company.29 Partnerships must identify each of its partners and each partner in partnership status (i.e., general partner or limited partner) under Item 5(b), while corporations and trustees must identify each of its executive officers, directors or trustees.
Item 6: List of Broker-Dealers at which the Large Trader or its Securities Affiliates Has an Account. Item 6 requires the Large Trader to identify broker-dealers at which it or any of its Securities Affiliates has an account and disclose whether each such broker-dealer provides prime broker, executing broker and/or clearing broker services. Note that the firms through which a Large Trader transacts is likely to change or be expanded periodically. Large Traders should be mindful to apprise new broker-dealers of their status and also to update their own Forms 13H at least quarterly.
Addressing a number of commenters concerned about the sensitive nature of the information collected on Form 13H, the SEC stated in the Adopting Release that it is committed to protecting the confidentiality of such information to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (that is, in a manner consistent with Section 13(h)(7) of the Exchange Act).
If any of the information contained in a Form 13H filing becomes inaccurate for any reason, a Large Trader must file an amended filing ("Amended Filing") no later than the end of the calendar quarter in which the information becomes stale.30 While not required by the Large Trader Rule, a Large Trader may voluntarily file an Amended Filing more frequently than quarterly at its discretion. A Large Trader on "Inactive Status" (as discussed further at subsection (d)) is not required to file any Amended Filings while it is on Inactive Status.
All Large Traders (other than those on Inactive Status) must submit an annual filing ("Annual Filing") within 45 days after the end of each full calendar year.
Rule 13h-1(b)(3)(iii) permits a Large Trader who has not effected aggregate transactions at any time during the previous full calendar year in an amount equal to or greater than the identifying activity level to obtain inactive status by filing for "Inactive Status" through a Form 13H submission. Inactive Status becomes effective upon such a filing. Inactive status is designed to reduce the burden on infrequent traders who may trip the threshold on a particular occasion but do not regularly trade at sufficient levels to support continued status as a Large Trader. In particular, Inactive Status is designed to minimize the impact of the Large Trader Rule on natural persons who infrequently effect transactions of a magnitude that otherwise warrant the added regulatory requirements under the Large Trader Rule. Inactive status relieves the Large Trader from the requirement to make Amended Filings and permits the Large Trader to request that its SEC-registered broker-dealers subject to sections (d) and (e) of the Large Trader Rule stop maintaining records of its transactions by LTID (as discussed further in section A to Part II).
A person or entity on Inactive Status who subsequently effects aggregate transactions that are equal to or greater than the identifying activity threshold must file a "Reactivated Status" Form 13H promptly after effecting such transactions. Upon filing for Reactivated Status, the person once again would be subject to the filing requirements of Rule 13h-1 and must inform its broker-dealers of its Reactivated Status. In particular, the provision for Reactivated Status is designed to ensure that a Large Trader on Inactive Status that becomes active above the identifying activity threshold is once again required to file and update Form 13H and inform its broker-dealers of the need to record its trading activity by its LTID.
Under Rule 13h-1(b)(3)(iii), a person, under certain narrow circumstances, may permanently end its Large Trader status by submitting a "Termination Filing." This filing is primarily designed to allow a Large Trader to inform the SEC that it has terminated operations, and therefore there is no chance of it requalifying for Large Trader status in the future.
Rule 13h-1(b)(2) requires each Large Trader to disclose to each of the SEC-registered broker-dealers effecting transactions on its behalf its LTID and each account to which it applies (i.e., each account at a SEC-registered broker-dealer as to which the Large Trader directly or indirectly exercises discretion).
All persons should make a determination of whether there is any possibility that they may be a Large Trader. For most persons, natural or otherwise, this determination will be simple and obvious but for persons that either engage in significant trading or have a 25% or greater ownership interest in an entity, this inquiry becomes more complicated and requires knowledge of the trading activities of such controlled entity as well as awareness of any entities under the control of the controlled entity. Furthermore, Large Traders that are part of a larger group of persons under common control should determine whether to push up or push down their Form 13H filing obligation.
Persons that do not meet the identifying activity levels should determine whether they may need to monitor future activity to ensure timely filing their Form 13H should they subsequently exceed the identifying activity level. Alternatively, persons in such a position may decide to voluntarily elect Large Trader status and avoid the need to monitor their future trading activity.
Advisers must be mindful of the Large Trader Rule each time they take on (or lose) a client or establish a fund. If a new client or fund makes the adviser a Large Trader, all SEC-registered broker-dealers through which the adviser trades will have to be notified of all relevant accounts. If the adviser is already a Large Trader, all SEC-registered broker-dealers through which the new client or fund will trade must be so notified.
timely filing of annual updates to Form 13H.
In addition, where the Form 13H filing is pushed down, the parent company and all affiliates that are not direct or indirect subsidiaries of a company that has itself filed Form 13H should maintain procedures that impose a complete prohibition on any activity that would result in a transaction covered by Rule 13h-1 as any such transaction would itself trigger a separate Form 13H filing requirement on the part of the parent entity.
Large Traders should also consider implementing a training program for the purpose of complying with the requirements of Rule 13h-1 and the foregoing procedures.
The filing and notification provisions of Rule 13h-1 applicable to Large Traders become effective on December 1, 2011.
the LTID associated with the account, unless the account is for an Unidentified Large Trader, in which case the broker-dealer shall also be required to maintain for all transactions such Unidentified Large Trader's name, address, date the account was opened, and tax identification number(s).
Each SEC-registered broker-dealer will be required to treat as an Unidentified Large Trader (for purposes of the recordkeeping and reporting provisions in subsections (d) and (e) of the Large Trader Rule) any person that such broker-dealer "knows or has reason to know" is a Large Trader where such person has not complied with the identification requirement applicable to Large Traders (i.e., where the customer has not identified itself as a Large Trader to the broker-dealer and disclosed the accounts to which its LTID applies).40 In considering whether the broker-dealer has "reason to know" that a person is a Large Trader, the broker-dealer needs only to take into account transactions in NMS securities effected by or through such broker-dealer.
A broker-dealer may determine that it has no "reason to know" that a person is a Large Trader through two methods. First, the broker-dealer may simply conclude, based on its knowledge of the nature of its customers and their trading activity with the broker-dealer, that it has no reason to expect that any of these customers' transactions approach the identifying activity level.41 Second, the broker-dealer may rely on the safe harbor provision in Rule 13h-1(f). Under the safe harbor, a registered broker-dealer would be deemed not to know or have reason to know that a person is a Large Trader if it does not have actual knowledge that a person is a Large Trader and it establishes policies and procedures reasonably designed to identify customers whose transactions at the broker-dealer equal or exceed the identifying activity level and, if so, to treat such persons as Unidentified Large Traders and notify them of their potential reporting obligations under the Large Trader Rule.42 Under either approach, a SEC-registered broker-dealer's obligation with respect to an Unidentified Large Trader is limited to compliance with the requirements of subsections (d) and (e) of the Large Trader Rule, and the broker-dealer would not be required to cease trading or take other action with respect to that Unidentified Large Trader.
assuming that it is itself a Large Trader, analyze the application of the Large Trader Rule to itself and its affiliates and make appropriate filings.
an agreement to promptly notify the clearing broker-dealer should the Large Trader status of any customer change in the future.
Of course, all SEC-registered broker-dealers that may find themselves subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) of Rule 13h-1 must also implement processes, procedures and controls to provide for timely compliance with the Large Trader Rule's recordkeeping and reporting obligations and should implement appropriate training and testing with respect thereto.
The provisions of Rule 13h-1 as applicable to SEC-registered broker-dealers, i.e., the recordkeeping, reporting, and monitoring provisions of paragraphs (d) and (e), become effective on April 30, 2012.
Holding Company with Two Large Trader Subsidiaries. For example, assume a holding company ("Holding Company") wholly owns a SEC-registered broker-dealer ("Broker-Dealer") and an investment adviser ("Adviser"), each of which are themselves Large Traders but do not otherwise have an ownership interest of 25% or more in any other entity. Assume further that no person owns 25% or more of Holding Company. In this example, all three entities would be Large Traders – Broker-Dealer and Adviser because each is itself a Large Trader and Holding Company because it controls a Large Trader.
the filing requirement is pushed down, such that both Broker-Dealer and Adviser files.
In theory, it is also possible to push up the filing requirement of one, but not both, of the subsidiaries such that Holding Company files on its own behalf and on behalf of, for example, Adviser, while Broker-Dealer also files. Because Holding Company's accounts will include Broker-Dealer, however, this option is unlikely to be utilized as a general matter.
Note, however, that because Broker-Dealer neither controls Adviser nor is controlled by Adviser, Broker-Dealer cannot file on behalf of Adviser and Adviser cannot file on behalf of Broker-Dealer.
the filing requirements of both Holding Company and Controlling Shareholder are pushed down, in which case both Adviser and Broker-Dealer would have to file.
As before, additional combinations also exist, including filing by Controlling Shareholder and Holding Company or Controlling Shareholder and Adviser and Broker-Dealer.
Holding Company with Two Large Trader Subsidiaries and a Controlling Shareholder that also Controls Another Large Trader. If, however, Controlling Shareholder also owns a 25% or greater interest in another company (the "Controlled Entity"), which is itself a Large Trader, Controlling Shareholder would have to file unless (i) both Holding Company and Controlled Entity filed or (ii) Adviser, Broker-Dealer and Controlled Entity filed. This follows from the fact that because Controlled Entity neither controls nor is under the control of Broker-Dealer or Holding Company, neither entity could file on behalf of Controlled Entity. Put another way, only Controlling Shareholder can file on behalf of Controlled Entity. Of course, even where Controlling Shareholder filed, one or more of the Large Traders controlled by Controlling Shareholder could also file separately, which they might want to do so that they would not have to rely upon Controlling Shareholder.
1 See SEC Release No. 34-64976 (July 27, 2011) (the "Adopting Release"), 76 Fed. Reg. 149 (August 3, 2011).
2 Although the Adopting Release is silent on this issue, we read this to mean that any person who can be classified as a Large Trader as a result of trades entered into on any day from October 3, 2011 must self-identify to each SEC-registered broker-dealer through which it trades its LTID and all accounts to which that LTID applies no later than December 1, 2011.

9 The term "NMS security" is defined at Rule 600(b)(46) of Regulation NMS and includes all listed options and all equity securities listed on the NYSE, NYSE Amex and Nasdaq as well as equity securities listed on other national exchanges; provided that such securities, at the time of listing, meet the listing standards then in place for the NYSE or the NYSE Amex. See Regulation NMS Rule 600(b)(46), (47) and (82). The scope of securities that fall under this definition is narrower than the scope of securities that are subject to either (a) Rule 13d-1 (covers any equity security (1) registered pursuant to section 12 of the Exchange Act, (2) of any insurance company that is exempted under section 12(g)(2)(G) of the Exchange Act, or (3) issued by a closed-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940; provided that such term shall not include securities of a class of non-voting securities) or (b) Rule 13f-1 (generally covers any equity security traded on a U.S. exchange, options on such securities, shares of closed-end funds and certain convertible debt securities). See Rule 13d-1(i) and Rule 13f-1(c).
10 More specifically, Rule 13h-1(a)(2) states that "person" has the same meaning as in Section 13(h)(8)(E) of the Exchange Act, which, in turn, references the definition provided by Exchange Act Section 3(a)(9) (set forth above).
13 See Adopting Release at Note 64.
15 Id. The number of shares of the underlying stock included in the options contract while the value of the option is deemed to be equal to the number of contracts purchased or sold times the market price of the options times the applicable multiplier (i.e., the number of shares of the underlying stock included in the options contract).
(vi) any transaction effected pursuant to a rollover of qualified plan or trust assets subject to Section 402(a)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code; (vii) any transaction between an employer and its employees effected pursuant to the award, allocation, sale, grant, or exercise of a NMS security, option or other right to acquire securities at a pre-established price pursuant to a plan which is primarily for the purpose of an issuer benefit plan or compensatory arrangement; or (viii) any transaction to effect a business combination, including a reclassification, merger, consolidation, or tender offer subject to Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act, an issuer tender offer or other stock buyback by an issuer, or a stock loan or equity repurchase agreement.
17 See Adopting Release at 28.
19 See the discussion above at section A(2)(a)(i) of this Part I.
20 As further discussed below in section B(2)(a)(i) of this Part I, the SEC may request a Large Trader to deliver additional information pursuant to Rule 13h-1(b)(4). Neither the Large Trader Rule nor the Adopting Release provides guidance as to the scope of such additional information the SEC may request. Therefore, it would seem likely that the SEC intends to use Rule 13h-1(b)(4) as a method to obtain additional information about the customers of a foreign non-SEC-registered broker-dealer that qualifies as a Large Trader under the Large Trader Rule (e.g., the information that SEC-registered broker-dealers are required to maintain pursuant to 13h-1(d)).
21 See Adopting Release at 80. The Adopting Release does not offer any guidance as to how the SEC will determine whether a foreign Large Trader should be exempt from the Large Trader Rule.
22 See Rule 13h-1(b)(3). The Adopting Release more clearly contemplates situations where a complex corporate structure may want to push down the filing requirement than did the adopting release for Rule 13f-1. See SEC Release No. 34-15292 (November 2, 1978). With respect to Rule 13f-1 and Form 13F filings, the SEC merely noted in the adopting release that if a subsidiary were to file on behalf of its parent, the parent would also be required to file a cover page and a separate statement indicating that the subsidiary would be filing on its behalf. Id.
23 The SEC stated further that its guidance regarding the "promptly" standard for Form 13H filings is based on the scope of the Form, the expected time to complete the Form, and the required submission thereof through EDGAR, and accordingly this guidance is applicable only to Form 13H filings.
24 A Large Trader's options include broker or dealer; bank holding company; non-bank holding; company; government securities broker or dealer; municipal securities broker or dealer; bank; pension trustee; non-pension trustee; investment adviser to one or more registered investment companies; investment adviser to one or more hedge funds or other funds not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1934; insurance company; commodity pool operator; or futures commission merchant. A Large Trader also may check "Other" and disclose other types of financial businesses engaged in by the Large Trader.
25 "Securities Affiliate" means any affiliate of the Large Trader that exercises investment discretion over NMS securities.
26 The instructions provide guidance regarding the level of detail expected.
27 Such organizational chart requires the Large Trader to identify itself, its parent company (if applicable), all Securities Affiliates and all entities identified as registered with the CFTC under Item 3(a).
28 A suffix should have no more than three characters, all of which must be numbers; no letters or special characters may be used. The same suffix may not be assigned to more than one affiliate using the same LTID.
29 The Form permits the Large Trader to check "Other" and specify a form of organization that is not comparable to any of the enumerated organization types.
30 The Adopting Release does not establish a grace period for Large Traders that determine they are required to make an Amended Filing at the very end of the applicable quarter. As drafted, the Large Trader Rule literally requires that a Large Trader that determines it must make an Amended Filing on the last day of any quarter will have until the close of business on the same day to make its Amended Filing.
31 See Adopting Release at footnotes 320 and 385. See also SEC Release No. 34- 61908 (April 14, 2010), 75 Fed. Reg. 21456 (April 23, 2010) at footnote 48 and accompanying text.
32 See Adopting Release at 84 (stating that where an entity is controlled by a Large Trader, the controlled entity would be required to provide its SEC-registered broker-dealers with the controlling entity's LTID).
34 See Adopting Release at 62 (noting that although the Large Trader Rule does not specifically require a U.S.-broker-dealer to discontinue tagging an inactive Large Trader's transactions with its LTID, each such broker-dealer should discontinue tagging any such inactive Large Trader's transactions with its LTID).
37 This includes a broker-dealer who is itself a Large Trader, carries an account for a Large Trader or an Unidentified Large Trader, or effects transactions directly or indirectly for a Large Trader whose account is carried by a non-broker-dealer.
38 See Rule 13h-1(a)(8). Rule 13h-1(a)(8) defines "reporting activity level" as: "(i) each transaction in NMS securities, effected in a single account during a calendar day, that is equal to or greater than 100 shares; (ii) any other transaction in NMS securities, effected in a single account during a calendar day, that a registered broker-dealer may deem appropriate; or (iii) such other amount that may be established by order of the SEC from time to time.
39 The SEC noted in the Adopting Release that under unusual circumstances, it may request more immediate responses that may require some broker-dealers to perform a manual process in order to provide reports to the SEC sooner than could be accommodated by an overnight batch process.
40 See Adopting Release at 69.
41 See Adopting Release at 71.
42 See Rule 13h-1(a)(9). In complying with the Large Trader Rule, registered broker-dealers need not seek out information on transactions effected by a person through another broker-dealer. See also Adopting Release at 69. That said, the limits on the diligence that a broker-dealer must exercise are not entirely clear. For example: Would it be necessary to monitor trades of affiliated advisers? There is always some reason for worry where a firm is made responsible for monitoring another's compliance.
43 See Adopting Release at 78-79.

Yoga Journal Life
Here's Why You (Yes, You) Need to Try Low-Impact Workouts
It goes beyond the current Pilates craze.
August 30, 2022 Ellen O'Brien
from Outside Online
Natalie Laser had trained herself to work to the point of exhaustion. As a former competitive soccer player for the University of Southern California, sprints, high-intensity interval training, and strenuous lifting sessions were part of her regular routine. But at the same time, Laser was fighting an internal battle. "I struggled with disordered eating and overexercise," she says. "At some point, I was like, I don't know if or how I'll get out of this."
In 2018, after her freshman season, Laser left the soccer team to focus on her mental and physical health. Over time, her mindset around fitness shifted. Instead of hard runs, she prioritized low-impact exercises like Pilates, yoga, and walking.
Laser isn't the only one making time for low-impact activities. The 2021 Garmin Health and Fitness Data Insights reported a 108 percent increase in Pilates from 2020, the largest in any category among its users. And in the American College of Sports Medicine's Health & Fitness Journal's annual report, HIIT dropped out of the top five biggest fitness trends for the first time since 2013.
Elizabeth Endres and Dale Stabler, co-founders of the online fitness community Sweats & The City, frequented a range of boutique fitness classes prior to the pandemic. And when the world shut down, they realized that their low-impact at-home workouts were just as satisfying as in-person treadmill classes. But they still felt like something was missing; they wanted a larger variety of virtual offerings that could keep them engaged and challenged. Earlier this year, they launched Orro ($19/month), a virtual fitness app offering a range of low-impact workouts. Many of their members have mirrored their pivot from heavy dumbbells and sprints to light weights and slower movements, even after some in the community expressed skepticism. "I think a lot of people might be nervous at first to take that leap, and try out Pilates or barre instead of their usual running and weightlifting," Stabler says. "They're surprised to see that they can feel really strong, that it's a really big challenge, and that they're getting the results they want."
A reluctance to try out low-impact movement could be linked to the way many Americans think about exercise. Laser says she previously equated the intensity of her workouts with the amount of pain she felt or amount of sweat she released. That changed when she switched to low-impact. "You don't have to feel like you're crawling out of a gym to move your body and to have a good workout," she says.
That mindset about pain, sweat, and exercise is common, especially for former college athletes. "You learn when you're training that you have to train hard every single day," says DeAnne Brooks, an assistant professor in kinesiology at UNC Greensboro. This mentality can mean that many athletes never test out low-impact exercises, she says. In a study she conducted, Brooks found former collegiate athletes didn't consider walking to be a valuable workout. Some coaches may also be reluctant to let their athletes try out different types of movement, like yoga, out of concern that it might negatively impact their performance, she says.
A demanding training schedule can cause feelings of anxiety around high-intensity workouts that can linger even after the end of a formal athletic career, Brooks says. In her study, some participants attempted to continue their training regime after graduating but couldn't. Their performance anxiety remained, even without the competition. They were stuck. "They didn't really have experience with other types of exercise," Brooks says. "They didn't like the track and field training just for fun, and so, they did nothing."
For some, low-impact activities, such as walking and online yoga, may be more accessible than workouts requiring a gym membership or expensive gear. And in some cases, they may limit some of the stress that can be caused by grueling exercises.
It ultimately comes down to frequency. High-intensity exercises, like HIIT or fast running, can release endorphins and allow you to complete an effective workout under a time crunch. However, over-exercising or overtraining, especially with HIIT and other strenuous workouts, can spike your cortisol, potentially leading to anxiety, mood changes, and fatigue.
While moderate amounts of cortisol (or HIIT) aren't dangerous, high doses can adversely impact your mental and physical health. In comparison, low-impact exercise doesn't cause a cortisol spike, and may even lead to a reduction in cortisol levels. These slower movements can also help you focus on your form and protect your joints, compared to faster cardio movements, Stabler says.
Despite all of the benefits of low-impact exercise, it's still not a magic bullet. Some TikTok users, for example, are quick to declare low-impact workouts as the solution to balancing your hormones and managing your weight. However, low-impact isn't a cure-all, and in some cases, it may not be more beneficial than HIIT. TikTok enthusiasts of Pilates, walking, and yoga often claim that such activities are better for those with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), a condition impacting 6 to 12 percent of American women, compared to HIIT and other high-intensity workouts. That's not necessarily the case. "There's no real research to back up that low-intensity is better than anything else for PCOS," Dr. Jessica Chan, an OBGYN at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, says. "I think the key thing for PCOS is just consistent activity and exercise." Like other health conditions, there's no perfect workout for PCOS. Consistency is the key. "I usually tell my patients it's really about creating a good routine for yourself and picking something that you enjoy doing—and doing a lot of," she says. That could be Pilates, running, or HIIT.
The real magic bullet is: do what feels right for you. Fitness fads will come and go, but Laser hopes that the value of low-impact workouts will continue to resonate. Instead of sticking to a particular plan or set of rules, she's listening to what her body needs. And right now, it's telling her to skip the bootcamp and go for a walk.

The 1961 film adaptation won 10 Oscars, including Best Supporting Actress for Moreno, now 86, Best Picture and Best Director.
Zegler may be a newcomer, but she already has a few famous fans - some of whom tweeted their congratulations Monday after the news became public.
The role of Maria was originally played by Hollywood star Natalie Wood.
Zegler wrote, "As a Colombian-American woman growing up in this day and age, strong roles like Maria are so important".
Spielberg's adaptation of the film is set to start production this summer. Munich and Lincoln scribe Tony Kushner is adapting the play's book for the screen, however the original soundtrack and late-1950s setting are set to remain.

Revolution, Reform or Restoration? Nadia Marzouki on Tunisia Today
Tunisia has been very dear to my heart since I went there in the spring of 2013, just two years after its uprisings, an event that shook the world. Although I've not been back in the three years since that memorable visit, I've followed Tunisian events with great interest from afar. I was thus thrilled to have the opportunity to interview the Tunisian scholar Nadia Marzouki when she was in Denver last month.
Marzouki, a Research Fellow at the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) in Paris, is the author of L'Islam, une religion américaine? (Islam, An American Religion?) and co-editor of two books: Religious Conversions in the Mediterranean World (with Olivier Roy) and the forthcoming Saving the People: How Populists Hijack Religion (with Roy and Duncan McDonnell).

The Syrian Revolution and the Project of Autonomy
What follows is a series of variations on Yassin al-Haj Saleh's observation that "Syria is a metaphor for a global crisis of representation." It describes aspects of the present situation of the Syrian revolution, a process of tremendous strength and courage that has been rendered almost illegible in the West. It also looks from the present to possible futures, which are necessarily speculative, in order to pose three questions for discussion.
By Stephen Hastings-King
Note: This is a revised version of a presentation I made at Hamisch, the Syrian Cultural House in Istanbul, on October 16, 2015. I would like to thank the comrades of Hamisch for their hospitality and for the chance to make something new. Then as now, my hope is to contribute to a widening of conversations about the Syrian revolution and the ways in which the struggles of the Syrian people are interconnected with global struggles for basic human dignity.
Where I am from there is no political future. There is only repetition of the same. The present is a ubiquitous horizon. Only the details will vary.
Where I am from the future has been privatized. People worry about their children.
We need to make new significations, ways of thinking beyond the horizon of the present.

"Egypt is free" and "We won!"
A joyous night in Cairo. What bliss to be alive, to be an Egyptian and an Arab. In Tahrir Square they're chanting, "Egypt is free" and "We won!"
The removal of Mubarak alone (and getting the bulk of his $40bn loot back for the national treasury), without any other reforms, would itself be experienced in the region and in Egypt as a huge political triumph. It will set new forces into motion. A nation that has witnessed miracles of mass mobilisations and a huge rise in popular political consciousness will not be easy to crush, as Tunisia demonstrates.
Arab history, despite appearances, is not static. Soon after the Israeli victory of 1967 that marked the defeat of secular Arab nationalism, one of the great Arab poets, Nizar Qabbani wrote:
Arab children,
Corn ears of the future,
You will break our chains.
Kill the opium in our heads,
Kill the illusions.
Don't read about our suffocated generation,
We are a hopeless case,
As worthless as a water-melon rind.
Don't read about us,
Don't ape us,
Don't accept us,
Don't accept our ideas,
We are a nation of crooks and jugglers.
Spring rain,
You are the generation that will overcome defeat.
How happy he would have been to seen his prophecy being fulfilled.

'Proud' Msomi celebrates century with win
South Africa's Bongiwe Msomi spoke of her pride after she became the latest player to celebrate a century of international caps at the Vitality Netball World Cup.
By Vitality Netball World Cup 2019
Msomi was part of the Proteas team which recorded the tournament's highest goal tally in an individual game so far, as they beat Fiji 90-35 today.
Afterwards, she said:
"It means so much. I forgot it was going to be my 100th cap today until we got to a meeting. There was a little bit of a celebration before we came here. As honoured as I am, I'm really glad to see the performance that the girls put in on the court.
"For me, it's always been about the team and playing some great netball for my country. Sometimes, you try to do that and it doesn't happen, and when it does happen, then you take the pride from that.
"I'm excited. Not everyone gets that (to 100) and if you do, it means you've worked so hard to get there, so I'm really proud of how far I've come."
Msomi follows England's Jo Harten and Northern Ireland's Caroline O'Hanlon in bringing up the milestone at the Vitality Netball World Cup.

Commissioning and Validation services provide documented evidence that critical building systems are not only installed correctly, but operate as intended in the design documents and owner requirements. When properly completed, commissioning optimizes energy efficiency and reduces operating costs by avoiding post occupancy troubleshooting. Integrated Commissioning considers building system interactions and applies the best ideas of FDA Validation, but in a less rigorous, more straightforward manner, to commercial offices, healthcare, college/university, and other facilities.
