Grape varieties: 93% Tempranillo, 4% Mazuelo, 2% Graciano, 1% Garnacha Tinta.
Manual Harvest: October, 2nd to 23rd.
Winemaking: Grapes are first de-stemmed and then fermented in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks for 8 days, with constant skin contact. During fermentation pumping over and punching down operations are regularly carried out. These processes ensure both effective and gentle colour and aroma extraction. Afterwards the solid parts of the grapes were pressed in vertical presses with double screws.
Ageing process: The wine is aged for 21 months in 225 l American oak barrels, at least eight months in new wood. It then spends around 24 months in the bottle before release.
Pairing: Red meats, Iberian ham, grilled fish, stews, etc.
Serving suggestions: We recommend pouring or decanting the wine for 20 minutes and serve it at around 16º-18º C to let the wine breathe and show its full aromatic potential.
James Suckling (Usa): 94 points. "Fabulous aromas of crushed berry and dark fruits with walnuts, hazelnuts, and ginger. Cinnamon and honey melon too. Full-bodied, very tight and firm. Linear backbone of fruit and tannins. Very long and racy. 22 months in American oak (six months new and then racked into used). Beautiful now but needs another two or three years to soften. A triumph."
Guía Peñín (Spain): 92 points.
Wine Spectator (Usa): 90 points. Spicy aromas lead to flavors of vanilla, cherry, fresh herb and mineral in this expressive red. Though oaky notes are prominent, there's a core of focused fruit, and the light structure is fresh and balanced. Graceful and alluring. Drink now through 2021. 5,750 cases imported.—T.M.

GOJEK Unveils GoalBetter Benefits Programme for its Singapore Drivers « Tech bytes for tea?
GOJEK is partnering with Esso and DBS – Singapore's largest petrol and bank networks, respectively – to provide its drivers with competitive fuel rebates (of up to 32.4%) in Singapore.
"At GOJEK, our driver-partners' success is key to our success. There are many reasons for becoming a driver. Whatever our driver-partners' reasons are, we are committed to supporting them in achieving their goals. This means providing earnings stability, a fantastic work environment, and unwavering support to help them get closer to their goals every day, with every ride," said Lien Choong Luen, general manager of GOJEK Singapore.
All GOJEK driver-partners will enjoy an upfront discount of 20% when they purchase petrol at any of Esso's 61 retail service stations around Singapore.
Driver-partners who use their DBS/POSB Debit Cards to pay for petrol at Esso petrol stations can enjoy an additional weekly rebate of $7.50 by simply spending at least $180 nett (or $225 before the 20% upfront discount) in a week.
GOJEK is partnering with Gigacover, a Singapore-based insurance technology company focused on the protection needs of freelancers, to offer all GOJEK driver-partners a standard earnings protection coverage of $80 per day.
"GoalBetter is a key component of GOJEK's global driver ecosystem and I'm thrilled to launch it here in Singapore. GoalBetter complements the Swadaya programme we have in Indonesia, with both programmes seeing us partner with companies that have a common vision to enhance the well-being of our driver-partners, such as through insurance or financial planning," said Raditya Wibowo, GOJEK's Global Head of Transport.
Driver-partners need only to pay a single, subsidised monthly rate to Gigacover.
This rate is dependent on age and ranges from $22.40 to $130.80.
GOJEK's scheme will cover driver-partners for medical leave of up to 21 days and hospitalisation leave of up to 84 days – in what will be the most extensive earnings protection coverage offered to private-hire drivers in Singapore.
Top active driver-partners – those in the Gold and Platinum tiers – will enjoy free coverage for the whole quarter paid for by GOJEK.
GOJEK is partnering with Doctor Anywhere – a Singapore-based on-demand video consultation platform that connects users to certified doctors – to provide all its active driver-partners with convenient access to online and physical medical consultation services.
Driver-partners will also be entitled to a partner rate for each medical consultation, where they can be diagnosed and treated for common illnesses, prescribed medication, and issued medical certificates and even referrals.
Top active driver-partners – those in the Platinum tier – will receive additional medical benefits fully subsidised by GOJEK.
As part of GoalBetter, GOJEK driver-partners enjoy various initiatives that offer them better flexibility.
One of them is the ability to make unlimited real-time withdrawals of their earnings from their GOJEK wallets, with no minimum requirement.
"GoalBetter reinforces our long-term commitment to Singapore and to bringing choice back to the ride-hailing market here. Stay tuned as we continue to add new partnerships and driver benefits to GoalBetter, and create the best offering for all of our users!" added Wibowo.
This gives driver-partners greater flexibility in securing and spending their money, which is important given their diverse needs.
Driver-partners will get a better experience through continuously-refined policies and user support.
The recently updated 'Lost & Found' policy, for example, entitles drivers to a reward of $10 – double the previous amount of $5 – for returning lost items to riders.
User support for driver-partners has improved, with over 90% of queries now being answered within 24 hours.
Drivers also enjoy a better experience from being part of the GOJEK community, such as through GoBlazers, a driver community and innovation programme to pilot new ride-hailing products.
Driver-partners will sign a non-disclosure agreement and be the first to experience new products and features by GOJEK. To-date, GoBlazers has amassed some 20 driver-partners.

Poll Result: BSHS backs Rosalind Franklin to feature on £50 note
Home/Blog, BSHS Announcements, News/Poll Result: BSHS backs Rosalind Franklin to feature on £50 note
The BSHS, Britain's leading community of scientific historians, has conducted a poll to decide who should be pictured on the new £50 bank note. The great majority of both men and women wanted to see this honour go to a woman – and their top choice was Rosalind Elsie Franklin (1920-58), who has come to symbolise gender discrimination in the scientific world. This brilliant scientist died of cancer when she was only 37, and so was ineligible to share the Nobel Prizes awarded to men working on the same projects. She was responsible for the crucial X-ray photograph that enabled James Watson and Francis Crick to build their double helix model of DNA, and she worked closely with Aaron Klug on the structure of the tobacco mosaic virus. In her short life, she published almost thirty research articles, and would undoubtedly have maintained and augmented her high reputation as a meticulous and innovative researcher.
An early list of eligible candidates has been released by the Bank of England, and public nominations remain open until 15th December 2018.

As soon as you lay down your house enhancement strategy, you will require loan to perform your strategy. How do you get loan to fund these house enhancement jobs?
Here are a few of the funding alternatives you need to fund your house enhancement jobs.
When it comes to funding house enhancement tasks that cost less than a thousand dollars, this a much better alternative. Charge card do not include documentation or in advance payments such as origination and appraisal costs.
The house equity credit lines and house equity loans allows you to take advantage of the equity you may have currently developed in your home to fund the house improvement tasks. Keep in mind that you can utilize this equity without offering your house.
It's another much better alternative of funding your house enhancement tasks if your retirement strategy can permit you to obtain. Because the cash in your 401( k) account is yours, the rates are generally low, takes brief time to process the quantity you have actually obtained, and no credit checks.
If by any possibility you leave your task prior to you are through with the loan payment, you will be needed to pay back the loan in complete. 401( k) loaning appears to be a best funding choice for little to medium house enhancement tasks.
To fund your house enhancement jobs, you may have to obtain money that you have actually collected in your life insurance coverage policy. Due to the fact that it does not include credit checks and you will pay back the interest just, this alternative is simple. Keep in mind that you will be decreasing your death advantages and this indicates that if you pass away prior to paying back the needed quantity, your household will get less advantages.
Agreement loan is one method of enhancing the funding procedure however remember it is one filled with a danger. It has actually concealed costs and the specialist need to be paid up front. If the work does not fulfill your requirements, you do not have option.
The option of house enhancement funding alternative will depend upon exactly what you have, the size of the task, to name a few aspects.


Electricity prices in Poland can go up by 100 percent. Because they have not gone 30 percent last time.
How is Brexit up to electricity prices in Poland? It turns out that the influence is not small at all. More precisely, however, it is not so much about leaving Great Britain from the European Union, but rather about the fact that ... it has not happened so far.
Prices of carbon dioxide emission rights beat historical records. On Friday, the price on the spot market on the European Power Exchange in Leipzig broke the level of EUR 27 per ton of CO2. Even at the beginning of the year, they amounted to EUR 22-23, Parkiet noted .
According to experts, quoted by the daily, it will quickly affect the prices of electricity. The consequences are visible now, because electricity prices on the Warsaw Stock Exchange are rising. In the longer term, these increases will be felt by everyone in their accounts.
Where did the sudden rally of prices of emission allowances come from? Paweł Puchalski from Santander BM in conversation with Parkiet points to a prolonged brexit . In his opinion, the market expected the United Kingdom to leave the ranks of the community and start selling out emission rights. So far, however, it did not happen. Therefore, the market reacted by increasing demand and, consequently, significantly increased the rate per ton of CO2.
Ecological tax is responsible for about 1/4 of energy prices in our country.
What is worse, it has been going up very rapidly lately. As early as at the beginning of 2018, the price per tonne of CO2 fluctuated around 8 euros. Emission trading was introduced by the EU to force Member States to reduce carbon dioxide. By 2030, the issue is to be reduced by at least 40%.
At the same time, the number of emission allowances will also decrease by 2.2 percent year on year. Therefore, without changes in the energy mix, states will be condemned to paying more and more tribute.
However, what has been done with the prices of allowances since the middle of last year can be briefly stated: riding without a stick.
The rate per ton of CO2 increased to 25 euros, and the Polish electricity has become one of the most expensive on the Old Continent. In comparison with the Czechs or Germany, the wholesale price was 20-30 PLN higher.
On average, Kowalski did not feel it on his own, just because the government decided to freeze prices at the level of June 2018. Many analysts, however, indicate that this action in the short term. In the long run, our budget will not stand it.
Krzysztof Kilian, former president of Polska Grupa Energetyczna, won a few words of honesty. In an interview with money.pl , he said that the times of manual price control have gone into oblivion with the political system transformation, and such actions give the market a signal that we are more interested in political security than energy security.
Kilian, a bit prophetic, also said that yes, in 2018, we avoided 30 percent. increases, but in 2019 or 2020 are waiting for a 100% increase. - Sweeping the case under the carpet will not solve the problem - he alarmed.

Swiss Hospital Lifts Ban on Circumcision
A Swiss hospital said it is lifting the ban on circumcision that had been imposed following a controversial ruling by a German court.

Preparing for circumcision
Israel news photo: Flash 90
A Swiss hospital on Friday said it is lifting the ban on circumcision that had been imposed at the beginning of July following a controversial ruling by a German court, which found that the practice for religious purposes amounted to willful bodily harm.
Officials at the Zurich University Children's Hospital announced that in the future every male circumcision for religious purposes will be made on a case-by-case basis, taking health factors into account, a Swiss news agency reported.
"The Zurich Children's Hospital is aware that the circumcision of boys is part of an old and widely spread tradition, be it for religious or social reasons," a statement said.
It is up to parliament to decide whether the removal of the male foreskin should be a punishable offence, in line with a ban of female circumcision, officials said, according to the news agency.
The hospital management said the decision to resume the practice was taken following consultations with internal and external ethics experts.
The Swiss Federation of Jewish Communities as well as the Association of Islamic Organizations in Zurich applauded the decision.
In July, the Simon Wiesenthal Center issued sharp criticism of the ban saying, "Without strong, unequivocal leadership from the top, these initiatives will further embolden anti-Semitism in the mainstream of European society."


At the launch, Aunty Paton thanked all those people who had helped protect her country.
Over the next 10 years another 5,500 ha of land will be added to the Reserve with the possibility of the creation of a new National Park in the region. The new reserve approximately doubles the amount of reserved land in the Strzeleckis, Victoria's most depleted bioregion.
Friends of the Earth plans to keep pressuring the State Government to deliver on the additional 5,500 ha and to recommence koala surveys in the region. The Strzeleckis contains the only endemic koala population in Victoria and South Australia.
Our past work in the region has helped to better understand preferred koala feed trees and develop an approximate population size. Almost all of our work in the region has been done in a voluntary capacity.
Any donation to help keep this work going would be greatly appreciated and will go a long way.
Check here for some background information.

Oh, how the internet spoils us. Typically, reputable review platforms don't give you the option to delete reviews but, there are a few review platforms that do. It might be tempting to erase the bad review and pretend it never happened but preserving these reviews lets customers and even potential customers see the human side of your business.
30% of consumers assume online reviews are fake if there are no negative reviews present on the platform at all. Your customers are more likely to trust your business if they can see that a) it experiences difficulties and b) those difficulties are confronted and taken care of rather than not tended to at all with no response. Your goal is to ensure that what observers see gives them a healthy impression of the way your business responds to consumer feedback.
Immediately, you can sense that the owner does not care about how great of an experience his hotel provides with his opening statement, "Honestly what do you expect.". The entire tone of the message thereafter reads careless as to how enjoyable the customers stay was. In fact, the owner even explicitly degrades his own establishment by stating "You pay little you get cheap.".
Not only is this response enough to make others who experience the same issues not want to come back, but new prospects that stumble upon a review response like this are likely to quickly disengage with the business.
Notice how the first statement Conn makes in response to the review is an explanation of the kind of service the company wishes to provide its customers. This is a crowd control statement. It says, "This is unreflective of what we strive to provide in our service" right from the start of the response.
The very next line of the response is an apology, which further drives the point home that this particular customer's experience isn't ideal for the company and the company certainly isn't comfortable leaving this experience unaddressed.
Lastly, the company takes the conversation offline by stating they "want to investigate further" into the matter and "will be contacting" the customer "shortly". More than being an excellent example of a great response, this response is an example of superb customer service; which automatically devalues the credibility of the review given and positively represents the business.
76% of consumers say they view customer service as a valid test of how much a company values them. It is important that a business conveys genuine concern and appreciation for their customers in both negative and positive reviews. No matter what the review is, the best response conveys an apologetic, positive, and forward-thinking attitude.
Statistics show that 95% of dissatisfied customers return to businesses that take the initiative to solve issues quickly and efficiently. Your customers aren't expecting a flawless experience with your business every single time. They are, however, hoping that if an unpleasant situation does arise, in whatever form it may, your business is proactive in resolving the issue and preventing it from happening again.
When customers see that your business is on par with customer service, responsive, resolving issues, answering questions, tending to concerns, and communicating with your customer base even through bad reviews, the focus transfers from what your business doesn't do, to what your business does do.
CarMax could have approached this review in multiple ways.
They could have left a detailed, defensive explanation as to why the sales agent was correct in his dealings according to their company procedures. They could have left the response alone to be buried in the trenches of their hundreds of reviews, mostly good. They could have simply removed the review and responded privately. What they chose to do, however, aids their business in more ways than any other response could have.
Firstly, they express gratitude for the review. This lets both the customer and those observing know that the company is not above reproach and more importantly, is grateful for it.
Secondly, they follow up with their crowd control statement. They inform the customer (as well as those observing) that "It's always [their] goal to make the car-buying process one that's easy and seamless for you [meaning, one of the many customers actually being addressed] as a customer,". They ensure they let their customers know that they matter.
Lastly, they humbly invite the customer to help them improve their service by getting others in the company involved. This not only makes the customer feel important, but this shows to those observing that their customer experiences do matter.
Now, not all bad reviews are necessarily true. Poor business practice can even lead competitors to give your business fake bad reviews in order to boost their own. Whether it comes from a mad ex-employee, customer, or business owner, these too can be responded to in such a way as to boost your customer's loyalty and attract more business.
While the response in itself seems slightly generic in nature, one of the things this response displays perfectly is the lack of history between the business and this supposed customer.
Lone Star Floors opens their response by expressing that the customer's experience is not ideal or reflective of their company culture. By mentioning that the customers' name "does not show" in their "database", they remove the relevance from the fake review. Those reading the review and review response can clearly see that the business has no recollection of engaging with such a customer but can respond well to situations like these by tending to such reviews sincerely.
It's important for a business to take the time to let the customers know that they are being listened to. This establishes a relationship with the customers and in turn, invites them to engage with the business through all of the ups and downs they could encounter.
An essential part of good customer service is taking note of customer complaints and using them to better your business. Not only does this increase customer loyalty, but it can attract more leads inadvertently. When leads observe that a business is on par with customer service, it lets them know that the business cares about delivering nothing but the best quality to their customers.
Start Using Bad Reviews for Good!
Bad Reviews are great ways to display your business's authentic approach to handling issues. This keeps the customer wanting to come back and engage with your business all the more while displaying to customers you have yet to gain that your company is adaptable and workable.
You may not have the time to sift through your business's bad reviews. At Hyperlinks Media we are experts at customer-business relationship management. Feel free to contact us regarding your business's reviews, we'd be happy to assist you in a response.

A set of agent hooks that expose secrets to build steps via Amazon S3 (encrypted-at-rest). Used in the [Elastic CI Stack for AWS](https://github.com/buildkite/elastic-ci-stack-for-aws).

Different types of secrets are supported and exposed to your builds in appropriate ways:

- `ssh-agent` for SSH Private Keys
- Environment Variables for strings
- `git-credential` via git's credential.helper

## Installation

The hooks needs to be installed directly in the agent so that secrets can be downloaded before jobs attempt checking out your repository. We are going to assume that buildkite has been installed at `/buildkite`, but this will vary depending on your operating system. Change the instructions accordingly.

```bash
# clone to a path your buildkite-agent can access
git clone https://github.com/buildkite-plugins/s3-secrets-buildkite-plugin.git /buildkite/s3_secrets
```

Modify your agent's global hooks (see [https://buildkite.com/docs/agent/v3/hooks#global-hooks](https://buildkite.com/docs/agent/v3/hooks#global-hooks)):

### `${BUILDKITE_ROOT}/hooks/environment`

```bash
if [[ "${SECRETS_PLUGIN_ENABLED:-1}" == "1" ]] ; then
  export BUILDKITE_PLUGIN_S3_SECRETS_BUCKET="my-s3-secrets-bucket"

  source /buildkite/s3_secrets/hooks/environment

### `${BUILDKITE_ROOT}/hooks/pre-exit`

```bash
if [[ "${SECRETS_PLUGIN_ENABLED:-1}" == "1" ]] ; then
  export BUILDKITE_PLUGIN_S3_SECRETS_BUCKET="my-s3-secrets-bucket"

  source /buildkite/s3_secrets/hooks/pre-exit
fi
```

## Usage

When run via the agent environment and pre-exit hook, your builds will check in the s3 secrets bucket you created for secrets files in the following formats:

- `s3://{bucket_name}/{pipeline}/private_ssh_key`
- `s3://{bucket_name}/{pipeline}/environment` or `s3://{bucket_name}/{pipeline}/env`
- `s3://{bucket_name}/{pipeline}/git-credentials`
- `s3://{bucket_name}/private_ssh_key`
- `s3://{bucket_name}/environment` or `s3://{bucket_name}/env`
- `s3://{bucket_name}/git-credentials`

The private key is exposed to both the checkout and the command as an ssh-agent instance. The secrets in the env file are exposed as environment variables.

## Uploading Secrets

### SSH Keys

This example uploads an ssh key and an environment file to the root of the bucket, which means it matches all pipelines that use it. You use per-pipeline overrides by adding a path prefix of `/my-pipeline/`.

```bash
# generate a deploy key for your project
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f id_rsa_buildkite
pbcopy < id_rsa_buildkite.pub # paste this into your github deploy key

export secrets_bucket=my-buildkite-secrets
aws s3 cp --acl private --sse aws:kms id_rsa_buildkite "s3://${secrets_bucket}/private_ssh_key"
```

Note the `-sse aws:kms`, as without this your secrets will fail to download.

### Git credentials

For git over https, you can use a `git-credentials` file with credential urls in the format of:

```bash
https://user:password@host/path/to/repo
```

```bash
aws s3 cp --acl private --sse aws:kms <(echo "https://user:password@host/path/to/repo") "s3://${secrets_bucket}/git-credentials"
```

These are then exposed via a [gitcredential helper](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitcredentials) which will download the
credentials as needed.

### Environment variables

Key values pairs can also be uploaded.

```bash
aws s3 cp --acl private --sse aws:kms <(echo "MY_SECRET=blah") "s3://${secrets_bucket}/environment"
```

## Options

### `bucket`

An s3 bucket to look for secrets in.

It is apparent that Solomon dealt with real people, but not all who should have been listening actually were. A host, both then and now, are speaking rather than hearing. They talk over the preaching, teaching, and biblical instruction. Then in time of trouble, they scramble for answers from outside sources when all along the answers were available in the natural order of the Word. Some even declare the Church incapable of answering issues, believing that spiritual counsel cannot solve the problem.
Where did the Apples of Gold in Pictures of Silver go? These are words fitly spoken, not a continual flow of them. They are cautiously chosen and prayerfully executed. They are not posts telling each other about our love for soup, spring, or spouse. It's time we choose what we say. Paul wrote: Eph. 4:29 "Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers." Words are meant to minister and communicate something of importance, but if there is a constant collage of remarks, then nothing of value has a chance to be heard and received.
Edward Bulwer-Lytton is first credited with the words, "The pen is mightier than the sword." I suppose it's true when it comes to laws and declarations. Yet in regards to human thought and philosophy, Paul wrote a somewhat contrasting statement: 1 Cor. 2:4 "And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power." Great speakers and keen insight appeal to the analytical. Intellectual stimulation, even scriptural revelations, captures the mind of men, but the "pen" – the thought; reasoning and wording is only as good as the demonstration which follows.
We have watched the evolution of the Motivational Pulpit and it is found wanting. It is weak and anemic, leaving many yet bound and afflicted. Only the demonstration of the Holy Spirit can garnish life changes and healing. Sharing what you know is humanism unless there is a witness in the Spirit. Preaching is a fuel-less car when it is done without demonstration. It's a desolate land where people walk in and walk out the same way they came. What the world needs is a moving of the Holy Ghost and the Anointing which breaks the yoke that binds the soul.
To be sure, Paul had enticing words at his disposal. He was a learned man with years of philosophical presentations to offer. He could rationalize, analyze and debate with the best of his day, but he knew that it was a pointless cavity that could not fill the heart of men. Even the teachings of Jesus were accompanied by the miraculous. The Lord could have waged a war of words, and wrangled with the intricacies of the Law, but He chose to demonstrate by laying hands on the sick. We must pray that the same Spirit would move in this house so that lives could be made free by the power of the Holy Ghost.

Dorothea's prolonged choice to forsake her husband for "true love" in the book "Middlemarch" is more appealing than the Lord's choice to forsake Himself and die for the sins of mankind.

Johann III. von Nürnberg (* um 1369; † 11. Juni 1420) war Burggraf von Nürnberg von 1397 bis 1420 und Markgraf von Brandenburg-Kulmbach von 1398 bis 1420.

Leben
Johann III., aus dem Haus der Hohenzollern, war der ältere Sohn von Burggraf Friedrich V. von Nürnberg und dessen Gemahlin Elisabeth von Meißen und damit der Bruder von Burggraf Friedrich VI. von Nürnberg, dem späteren Kurfürsten Friedrich I. von Brandenburg.

Schon 1375 wurde er mit Margaretha, einer Tochter Kaiser Karls IV. und Schwester des späteren römisch-deutschen Königs Wenzel und des späteren Kaisers Sigismund, verlobt. 1385 beschloss Burggraf Friedrich V. seine Söhne an der Regierung teilhaben zu lassen und verfügte in der sogenannten Dispositio Fridericiana über die künftige Landesteilung zwischen den beiden. 1396 nahm Johann III. an der Seite seines Schwagers Sigismund an der Schlacht von Nikopolis in Bulgarien teil, wobei er diesem das Leben rettete. Nach der Abdankung seines Vaters 1397 regierte er einige Jahre gemeinsam mit seinem Bruder. Spätestens 1403 wurde die Erbteilung gemäß der Verfügung des Vaters vollzogen, Burggraf Johann III. erhielt dabei das Fürstentum ob dem Gebirg und richtete seine Residenz in der Plassenburg ob Kulmbach ein.

Seit etwa 1390 zählte Burggraf Johann zu den engsten Vertrauten König Wenzels und versuchte den energielosen Luxemburger zu mehr Tätigkeit im Reich anzuspornen. Trotzdem konnte er dessen Absetzung im Jahr 1400 nicht verhindern. Während Johanns Bruder Friedrich sich stark in Reichsangelegenheiten engagierte und nach seiner Erhebung zum Kurfürsten von Brandenburg häufig in der Mark Brandenburg gebunden war, kümmerte er sich meist um die Belange seines fränkischen Besitzes.

Da Johann III. ohne männlichen Nachkommen starb, ging trotz der Erbteilung das Fürstentum Kulmbach an seinen Bruder Friedrich VI. über. Wenngleich sich auch in der Folgezeit immer wieder Personalunionen ergaben, wurde die Erbteilung von Friedrich V. beibehalten. Johann III. starb am 11. Juni 1420 und fand im Münster Heilsbronn seine letzte Ruhe.

Nachkommen
Aus der Ehe mit seiner Frau Margaretha, der Tochter Kaiser Karls IV., ging nur die Tochter Elisabeth hervor, die sich 1406 mit dem Grafen Eberhard von Württemberg verheiratete.

When asked about our dream venues, the team always laughs – because we all use different criteria to assess a venue and also, because there is no single thing that defines 'the' perfect venue. There is however, a perfect venue for a type of event, or brand, or launch.
What we wouldn't do, is think of a venue along the lines of the 'Natural History Museum'. We want to see the presenter on stage – showing the iphone – with the audience not being distracted by the environment around them.
It's also important to consider the audience – if you're doing a government training session for borough council, to showcase the differences between two photocopiers – models 8 and 9, it's fine to shake it up, make it stand out because the colour saturation in the new model is amazing. This is where it's a good idea to change the lighting to become ultraviolet, to use uv costumes and entertainment as a powerful message. It would not however, be appropriate to have acrobats coming through the ceiling when there's a council audience as this would be overtly excessive and an inappropriate way to get the message over.
And finally, my own idea of what constitutes an idea venue is constantly evolving. Something recently reminded me of this.
I was at a venue recently – the Hamyard Hotel in between Soho and Mayfair in London. It is stunning and well designed throughout. It is 5 star from start to finish, has excellent breakout rooms and a private screening cinema for 100 guests as well as it's own bowling alley. We've seen clients use it and it's been effective. We're plotting ways to use it again during the run up to Christmas and will let you know when we can share these plans with you. The reason why I've mentioned it though, is because it's something that's relatively new to us and as such, is great. We don't expect to have a roster of venues that we stick to. We expect to discover new, interesting, quirky, useful locations and are always open to exploring and finding new places that will be of use to our clients.
Maybe there is one ideal, perfect venue, for everyone out there? We've not found it yet. When we do, we'll let you know.

Obenfürkelt ist eine Hofschaft in der bergischen Großstadt Solingen.

Lage und Beschreibung
Obenfürkelt befindet sich im Stadtbezirk Burg/Höhscheid zwischen den beiden Solinger Stadtteilen Höhscheid und Widdert. Der Ort liegt abgeschieden und von landwirtschaftlichen Flächen umgeben am südlichen Talhang des Weinsberger Baches. Es handelt sich um den östlichsten der drei Fürkelter Ortschaften. Er befindet sich am Ende der nach ihm benannten Straße Obenfürkelt und ist von dem Nachbarort Grünental aus zugänglich. Westlich fließt, von Widdert kommend, der Mittelfürkelter Bach, der im Norden in den Weinsberger Bach mündet. Im Ort sind noch einzelne historische Fachwerkhäuser erhalten.

Benachbarte Orte sind bzw. waren (von Nord nach West): Bechershäuschen, Pereskotten, Grünental, Vockert, Höfchen, Obenwiddert, Heide, Mittel- und Untenfürkelt.

Etymologie
Der Ortsname Fürkelt hat den gleichen Ursprung wie der Gräfrather Ortsname Fürkeltrath (Vurkelroide, Vorkelraide).

Das Bestimmungswort Fürk steht laut Brangs für den Föhrenbaum (= die Kiefer). Das Suffix -rath deutet auf eine Rodung hin. Demzufolge handelt es sich bei Fürkeltrath um die Rodung der Kiefern, die nötig war, um den Ort zu besiedeln. Laut Dittmaier geht das Bestimmungswort auf den Personennamen Fulkilo (mit Dissimilation des ersten l in r) zurück.

Geschichte
Fürkelt ist seit dem 15. Jahrhundert nachweisbar, der Ort wird erstmals 1487 als Vurkelroide, Vorkelraide erwähnt. Er erscheint auch im Zehntverzeichnis der Abtei Altenberg von 1488. Im Jahre 1661 wird ein Johann Olig zu Fürrik erwähnt. In dem Kartenwerk Topographia Ducatus Montani von Erich Philipp Ploennies, Blatt Amt Solingen, aus dem Jahre 1715 ist der Ort mit zwei Hofstellen verzeichnet und als Furckelt benannt, später gingen die drei Orte Oben-, Mittel- und Untenfürkelt daraus hervor. Alle drei Orte wurden in den Registern der Honschaft Höhscheid innerhalb des Amtes Solingen geführt. Die Topographische Aufnahme der Rheinlande von 1824 verzeichnet alle drei Orte als Fürkelt benannt, die Preußische Uraufnahme von 1844 verzeichnet den heutigen Ort Obenfürkelt abgekürzt als Ob: Fürkelt. In der Topographischen Karte des Regierungsbezirks Düsseldorf von 1871 ist der Ort lediglich als Fürkelt verzeichnet.

Nach Gründung der Mairien und späteren Bürgermeistereien Anfang des 19. Jahrhunderts gehörte der Ort zur Bürgermeisterei Höhscheid, die 1856 das Stadtrecht erhielt und lag dort in der Flur IV. Widdert. Mit der Städtevereinigung zu Groß-Solingen im Jahre 1929 wurde Untenfürkelt schließlich ein Ortsteil Solingens.

Bedingt durch seine abgeschiedene Lage behielt der Ort bis heute seinen Hofschaftscharakter bei, auch sind im Ort noch mehrere historische Fachwerkhäuser erhalten.

Bart Forbes' career as a painter spans over thirty years as an illustrator and fine artist. Though most well known for his golf landscapes and sports illustrations, Forbes has recently begun painting for himself. His still-life paintings as well as his Scottish landscapes reflect a much more personal viewpoint and have allowed him more freedom to explore his own vision. Through his still life and landscape paintings, he has found an opportunity to explore both texture and light in new ways. Created in oils, his paintings are done in glazes—layering simple, familiar subject matter over abstract textural patterns. The result is one of subtle color and depth that involve the viewer on many different levels.
Born in Oklahoma, Forbes graduated from the University of North Carolina in 1961. After a stint in the Army, he began his art career by attending the Art Center School in Los Angeles, California. Since that time, his work has not only appeared in a collection of the more popular magazines, but has garnered commercial clients that include Georgia Pacific, General Electric, Eastman Kodak, Exxon, Pepsi Cola, Miller Brewing, RCA, and NBC. He has also designed more than 20 commemorative postage stamps for the U.S. Postal Service.

Welcome to the Laboratory of Molecular Anthropology @ Penn
Since its establishment in 2001, Laboratory of Molecular Anthropology @ Penn (LMAP) researchers have worked to elucidate the origin and dispersals of human populations and the evolutionary processes that shaped genetic variation in them. We analyze genetic diversity in the mitochondrial DNA, Y-chromosome and autosomes to reconstruct the population histories of different human groups from around the world, both past and present. In addition, we use genetic tools to explore aspects of mitochondrial evolution and function in humans and non-human organisms, as well as the role of the mtDNA in the health and diseases of human populations.

Dr. Theodore G. Schurr, Professor of Anthropology, is the Director of the LMAP. Lab members include post-doctoral fellows, technicians, graduate students, undergraduate students and/or high school students who are dedicated to advancing the field of anthropological genetics and biological anthropology.
To learn more about our work and people involved in it, please visit the Research, Team and Publications sections of this webpage. The News link provides updates on our current findings and publications. You can learn how to financially contribute to the lab on the Support page, and inquire about any aspects of our research through the information provided on the Contact page.
Note: We are still adding content to the People and Research pages of the website. For this reason, some of the content appearing there is unfinished. We anticipate completing these pages over the course of the next several months.
History of the Laboratory
The LMAP has operated in several locations at the University of Pennsylvania over its 20-year history, but settled quite comfortably into its current home in the Penn Museum. The history of the laboratory is outlined briefly below.
In 2002, the LMAP was set up in Room 105A of the Leidy Laboratories Building in the Department of Biology. The lab was a compact but efficient space in which to carry out molecular anthropology research, and we worked there through the early part of 2005. Photo credit: T.G. Schurr.
Named after the 19th century paleontologist, Joseph Leidy, a Professor of Anatomy at the University of Pennsylvania, this building was constructed in 1904. Architecturally, it represents a handsome variation on the later 17th-century themes of Cope and Stewardson's Towne and Medical Buildings. Cope and Stewardson was an influential and prolific Philadelphia architecture firm during the late-19th and early-20th centuries. Photo credit: T.G. Schurr.
From 2005 to 2010, the LMAP operated in Room 507 in the Goddard Laboratories in the Department of Biology. This space included a main web lab, an equipment room, and an office suite, along with desks in carrels situated in the window wells of the building. Photo credit: T.G. Schurr.
Built in 1964 and designed by Louis Kahn, the building design of the Goddard Labs emphasizes functional and structural expression, making it a landmark in the history of American architecture. Aside from its architectural uniqueness, though, the lab was freezing cold in the winter months, due to the poor weatherizing of the windows, forcing us to use space heaters to keep our feet and legs warm. Photo credit: T.G. Schurr.
In 2011, the LMAP moved to Room 228 of the Leidy Labs Building. Consisting of one large space, the lab had multiple benches and workspaces, as well as equipment and computer areas. We worked there for about five years.
In 2015, the LMAP moved to its current home in the Department of Anthropology, Rooms 421 A and 421B in the Penn Museum of Archeology and Anthropology (Penn Museum). Formerly a physical anthropology lab space designed for osteological research, these rooms were converted into wet and dry labs for molecular biology research. Photo credit: T.G. Schurr.
Marked by architectural features such as the Stoner Courtyard shown below, the Penn Museum was designed by a team of architects (Cope and Stewardson, as well as Frank Miles Day, all associated with Penn's architecture school) and constructed over a several year period, opening as the Free Museum of Science and Art in 1899. Photo credit: T.G. Schurr.
The Academic Wing of the Penn Museum in which the LMAP is located opened in 1971, being built with the support of the National Science Foundation. Its Brutalist style, based on a 1968 design by Mitchell/Giurgola, stands in contrast with the older and grander form of the main buildings. Image source: https://www.penn.museum/about/our-story/a-historic-timeline.
The original LMAP website was the by-product of a lot of hard work by a number of people but has been mothballed. This action was taken in large part because the Flash software running the animated content was phased out on current versions of website browsers. This situation has allowed us to reimagine the LMAP website and produce a new design for it, which you are now viewing.
Marcolina Design, Inc. (http://www.marcolina.com) produced the design for the original LMAP website, with the creative effort being led by owner Dan Marcolina. Dan took my rough ideas and converted them into a more polished, interactive and aesthetically pleasing form. Nancy McNamara of Academic Web Pages (www.academicwebpages.com) elaborated on this design, as well as expanded the functionality of the entire website. In addition, Dana Wormer from Red Zebra Works contributed many good ideas concerning web page operation, layout and functionality, and, along with Chintana Herrin, beta tested different sections of it.
The new LMAP website was created by Jed Ostrom of Next Interactives. Working on a WordPress foundation, Ostrom produced a custom-designed, mobile-friendly and self-editable website that brings a more contemporary look and functionality to the presentation of the LMAP work and research findings. In addition, Loretta Kennedy Design created the new lab logo and inspired the color scheme used throughout this website.
Caveat Lector
Throughout this website, you will see various images, segments of text, maps, and illustrations that were taken from other sources. These items are acknowledged or attributed as best as possible wherever they appear. Original content from our research efforts, such as maps, diagrams, and photographs, are acknowledged as such. All other materials, especially photographs, come directly from LMAP researchers, with their contributors being acknowledged in the legend for the images.
Maps on the Website
As noted above, we will use maps of various kinds to illustrative the work being undertaken in the LMAP. These maps may be archaeological, genetic, geographic, historical and/or linguistic in nature, such as the Typus Orbis Terrarum map shown below. These maps are, of course, constructions of reality as understood from different analytical, disciplinary, historical and political perspectives, and will be discussed as such in the accompanying text.
Typus Orbis Terrarum (Map of the World)
The cartographer of the map appearing above is Petrus Bertius. Bertius was born at Beveren, Flanders (modern day Belgium), in November 1565. As a refugee, Bertius settled in Amsterdam and, after finishing his studies, became a professor of mathematics and librarian at the University of Leiden. In 1618, he also became cosmographer and historiographer to Louis XIII of France, and lived in Paris, where he died in October 1629. His fame among geographers was established by his text in the pocket atlas Tabularum Geographicarum (see below).
This Map of the World is based on Ortelius. The large, mythical continent of Terra Australis fills the southern portion of the map, incorporating New Guinea. There are just a few place names noted in the map, including Anian, Tolm, Norumbega, Virginia and Florida.
The map is similar to the one Bertius supplied for Barent Langenes' Caert-Thresoor except this plate does not contain the signature of Jodocus Hondius as the engraver. Strapwork designs fill the corners with the title above and the quote from Psalms, "Domini Est Terra Et Plenitudo Eius" ("The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof") at bottom.
The pocket atlas Tabularum Geographicarum Contractarum, 3rd edition, by Petrus Bertius
This atlas was engraved by Petrus Kaerius and Jodocus Hondius in Amsterdam, 1618. The photo comes from Paulus Swaen Ltd. (https://www.swaen.com/antique-map-of.php?id=9387).

Kanu's lawyers were forced to wear slippers by the DSS – Ifeanyi Ejiofor

News Report August 27, 2021
NewsReport gathered that, Ifeanyi Ejiofor, the primary attorney for Nnamdi Kanu, the leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, has accused the Department of State Service of treating Kanu's lawyers like hardened criminals during visits to their detained client.
On Thursday, Ejiofor released a statement headed "Update on today's visit being the 26th day of August 2021," in which he said they saw Kanu in DSS custody this online information learned.
"Lawyers on this occasion were searched in a manner equal to that of hardened criminals being searched for possible incriminating objects," the statement states in part.
"They were traumatized not just because they were handled inhumanely, but the lawyers were further dehumanized after this humiliating and unlawful frisking, by being allowed to meet their client wearing only slippers after being stripped of their shoes, reading glasses, and writing materials."
Because the visits were mandated by the court, the lawyer claimed that the situation required immediate court involvement.

Budget 2021: The chancellor confirms a 95% mortgage guarantee scheme will be introduced to help buyers with 5% deposit
Mortgages | Uncategorised
Posted On: 3rd March, 2021
03/03/2021 Government Confirms Plans To Guarantee 95% Mortgages
The UK government has confirmed that it will guarantee the risk of 95 per cent mortgages through a guarantee scheme for lenders.
The scheme, announced in the Budget on 03/03/2021, will give buyers – both first-time and existing the option to put down a 5 per cent deposit on a home, up to a value of £600,000, helping address the problem of higher-LTV mortgages disappearing from the market.
Described as a "New policy to stand behind home buyers,' chancellor Rishi Sunak stated that some of the country's biggest lenders, "Including Lloyds, NatWest, Santander, Barclays, and HSBC" will be offering the new mortgages from next month.
"More, including Virgin Money, will follow shortly," he said, adding "As the prime minster has said, we want to turn 'generation rent' into 'generation buy'.

Q: Would it be possible to fix the right-side panel of my HP HDX laptop with super glue? I own a HP HDx16-1140US laptop. I bumped the right corner of my laptop against a door and it caused the plastic piece protecting the USB port, the laptop lock, and the AC port to come off. It looks like it would be an easy repair, but I want to make sure that using super glue won't damage the case or the ports. In the event I can not use it, what would be a good alternative?
How it looks with the plastic on

How it looks with the plastic off

A: That bezel fragment is not functional, only decorative. Further, normal super-glue (like the kind from the dollar-store) isn't particularly corrosive, so a couple of drops (specifically on the metal face) should hold it on nicely for the foreseeable future.
That said, it looks like it may be designed to snap into place. Are there little tabs on it that have broken off? If so, then you may need to resort to glue; if not, then try just snapping it on.

Is Albury a good place to live?
Is it a good place to live in? It's too far to travel to inspect at this current moment, but I will do that in the future.
Where are the best places to live? Nice surrounding suburbs? What are some suburbs to avoid moving to (and why)?
I've seen people saying to avoid Lavington but I haven't seen a single explanation. Please leave a reason for judgement, it would really help! Just a nice house for two near a high school and a supermarket is all I'm looking for.
Looking to rent for under $400 p/w but I just don't know enough about the area. Please and thank you!
There are good and bad pockets everywhere. Lavington does have high rates of unemployment and some social problems, however, there are plenty of lovely people and neighbourhoods there.
You should find PLENTY of rental options for under $400 per week, but the animal ownership might be a sticking point with some landlords. Almost everyone here has pets though, so I imagine if you ask around you will find a suitable property.
Albury High School is probably the best secondary school in Albury, however, each school has its specialty!
Thurgoona is the growth corridor of Albury. It has large blocks and is popular with young families looking to build. It has rapidly improving services and amenity around the Charles Sturt University campus. If you want to build – that is the place to go. South Albury is largely established mid century property. It is walkable distance to the centre of Albury. East Albury is split between estates developed over the last 20 years (eg. Easternview Estate) and established mid century property. There are some pockets to avoid on the North side of Borella Rd. I'd agree that there are pockets to avoid in Glenroy, Lavington & Springdale Heights. If you are after early century heritage homes, you should look at Central Albury and Forest Hill.
There really are nice parts of every suburb, and every suburb has busier streets and quieter streets. It really depends on the lifestyle you're after? Do you want to walk to work? Do you have a particular school in mind? In general however, the northern side of South Albury is better than the south side (avoid south of Ebden Street). Thurgoona is a typical sprawling estate with winding courts and kit homes, if you like that sort of thing. There are small and large blocks, new homes and some from earlier estate days. There are parts of Thurgoona with lots of established native trees, and parts that are still reclaimed paddocks that are bare. Its a 10 minute drive to town, but there are shops, gyms, parks, childcare and schools in Thurgoona to meet your needs day to day. East Albury is a mixture of older brick homes and weatherboards - most houses are from 1970 and before. Established European trees, sloping blocks, but close to town. A few small parks, a cafe, and a community garden back onto the main cycling trail in Albury. If you live on the lower side of the hill its a short walk, but towards the top of the hill you can get nice views. The flat area on the north side of Borella road is good value, and the section closest to town is quite nice. The back pocket of East Albury north of Borella Road and East of East Street is probably best to avoid. The Easternview Estate is further out from town, typical new housing estate but quite close to town by driving. Easternview is right next to a large homemakers centre & bunnings complex.
There are lovely parts of North Albury, particularly the section north of North Street up to Fallon St, west of Mate Street. Leafy streets with established brick homes and good access to town. West Albury has great value homes and lots of established native trees, and Pemberton Estate is a typical modern housing estate with custom built homes, and views across the alps and north east Victoria. Quite nice. Central Albury has lots of options, but the central grid of town is quite noisy - around the base of monument hill and the Mercy hospital there are lots of good options, and a mixture of housing from early to mid century.
The places I would avoid would honestly only be Glenroy, Lavington & Springdale Heights - because they are more isolated, less access to services, and slightly less reliable safety. But in each of those suburbs there are nice blocks. The hill in Glenroy has lovely views and custom properties that back onto the nature reserve and are perfectly lovely. I just think that the other areas have more going for them, better access to services, better property appreciation (if you're buying). Those three suburbs (and the South end of South Albury) are the crime centres, but its all very mild, in comparison to metropolitan areas.
So I have the same question as well ? Which suburd should i avoid ? I have heard Thurgoona, east albury and south albury is the place to go. Is that reasonable ?
What is it like living in Albury?
Can anyone suggest an area that is safe, clean and relatively quiet to live?

The OPW, working in partnership with Kerry County Council and other Local Authorities, commissioned and have completed the Shannon Catchment Flood Risk Assessment and Management (CFRAM) Study. The objectives of the CFRAM Study were to:
Identify and map the existing and potential future flood hazard within the CFRAM Study Area,
Assess and map the existing and potential future flood risk within the CFRAM Study Area,
Identify viable structural and non-structural options and measures for the effective and sustainable management of flood risk in the Areas for Further Assessment (AFAs) and within the CFRAM Study Area as a whole,
Prepare a set of Flood Risk Management Plans (FRMPs) for the CFRAM Study Area, and associated Strategic Environmental and, as necessary, Habitats Directive (Appropriate) Assessment, that sets out the policies, strategies, measures and actions that should be pursued by the relevant bodies, including the OPW, Local Authorities and other Stakeholders, to achieve the most cost-effective and sustainable management of existing and potential future flood risk within the Study Area, taking account of environmental plans, objectives and legislative requirements and other statutory plans and requirements.
The Shannon CFRAM Study Area (and the Shannon River Basin District) is made up of six hydrometric areas, these hydrometric areas are grouped into Units of Management (UoMs), Tralee Town and its environs is included in the Tralee Bay-Feale, Hydrometric Area 23 (UoM23). The flood relief measures put forward for Tralee, as identified at the CFRAM level of assessment, include Flood walls & embankments, NRV's to Outfalls, constructing new diversion channels and increasing the capacity of existing diversion channels, cleaning and maintaining existing watercourses, raising the road to protect the Pier 17 business centre and upgrading the walls adjacent to Windmill lane including the provision of floodgates.
The CFRAM scheme option, along with other potentially viable options, will be subject to further engineering assessment as part of this project. It is worth noting that potential measures identified in the CFRAM option may not form part of the preferred scheme.
In any case, all potentially viable options will be fully appraised as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment process for the scheme.
All relevant CFRAM Study reports are available, for information purposes, on the floodinfo.ie website.

"It's our job to enable change by working with industry to focus on the right things, making sure policy settings are right, and welcoming in new players."
As the NPP starts to embed a new way to pay and we start to look ahead at the next big and exciting development, I'm struck by the increasing pace of technology development. William Gibson, the Science fiction writer of Neuromancer says that "The future is already here, it's just unevenly distributed". And this couldn't be more relevant for technology.
It's our job to enable change by working with industry to focus on the right things, making sure policy settings are right, and welcoming in new players. As we embrace this change, and with the Winter Olympics not long behind us, I am reminded of Wayne Gretzky's perhaps overused advice that we need to "skate to where the puck is going, not where it has been".
But in this technologically advancing world, this is easier said than done. Development cycles are increasing. Keeping your eye on the puck is getting harder and harder, and trying to move an industry to where it needs to be, is increasingly challenging.
Mobile is winning – especially in global markets where there is minimal legacy infrastructure. The Money20/20 Asia race was won by a mobile wallet, indicating that mobile wallets are the most readily accepted form of payment across Asia.
Tech networks are changing how markets develop – this brings new meaning to "network effects" as we start to see what happens when networks combine. We need look no further than India to see how big tech companies like Google are bringing their existing customer base and effectively creating a payment infrastructure with their network. Google's mobile payments app Tez's 'Cash Mode' allows secure proximity payment to other Tez users, without sharing personal details. Across Asia, the ride-hailing app operator Grab launched a payments platform, followed by a financial services platform and then, in March 2018, acquired Uber's Southeast Asia operations. And in return, Uber gained a 27.5% stake in Grab's combined business.
Data is power – but there is change underway in the way data is managed – already we are seeing shifts in the way the 4 horsemen (Apple, Amazon, Google, Facebook) are perceived. Rogoff recently said that "data is the heart and soul of the monopoly power" of big tech companies. It's here that the puck is moving particularly fast. The power construct is different and its changing by the day. We are moving to a world where we need to make sure a broader set of participants benefit from the power of data. Data-smithing is a relatively new profession that will evolve from big data like engineering did from the industrial revolution. It is likely that we will need slightly different infrastructure to support this. There are signs that Blockchain, AI – or a combination of both – will support a different kind of infrastructure and this will create a different form of power.
While the technology developments currently underway are the source of big and exciting developments, technology is not enough. We need a new way of thinking, a new approach to collaboration, as we sharpen our ice skates and become better at skating to where the puck is going.
This quarter, we held a number of member sessions on digital identity and open banking.
Our accelerator event brought together some 70 participants from over 60 organisations to jointly address card-not-present fraud.
Our member events provide an opportunity to discuss key trends shaping the payments landscape and look at how other countries are approaching similar challenges.
We kicked off this quarter with two sessions on digital identity and authentication. In the first, Thomson Reuters (USA) discussed the evolving world of Know Your Customer (KYC) and how it plays a foundational role in our understanding of digital ID. In the second, Andrew Shikiar (USA-based) from FIDO Alliance ran a webinar session on FIDO's approach to stronger user authentication.
The Australian Government's Final Report on the Review into Open Banking points to the UK as a starting point. For this reason, we invited ForgeRock, provider of the Reference Bank Application for UK Opening Banking, to share insights on the UK experience at our member event on 28 March.
More information on these sessions is available by following the links to our blogs below.
Collaboration is critical to tackling card-not-present (CNP) fraud. On 21 February, in co-operation with the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA), we hosted an accelerator event bringing together the entire range of stakeholders to expedite a new, whole of industry approach.
The 70 participants reached clear consensus to develop within the next six months a high-impact industry framework for reducing CNP fraud in Australia, and agreed on the principles that will underpin that framework.
The RBA's Payments System Board has welcomed the participants' commitment encouraging them to continue to work closely with AusPayNet "to develop a clear and effective strategy that balances the interests of all stakeholders, including merchants". We look forward to working with the wider industry on taking this forward.
Details about the event are available in our Media Release and recent blog post.
We extended a fond farewell and warm welcome to a number of directors this month.
Recently, we released a new framework to support contactless ticketing initiatives in Australia.
February 2018 marked a historic milestone for the payments system with the public launch of the NPP – one of the most innovative infrastructures for real-time payments.
On 1 April, long-serving director and past Deputy Chair, Stuart Woodward, left the Board following his resignation from CBA. Mr Woodward served as a director for almost 13 years and has been instrumental in many key initiatives undertaken by our company. Most recently, he was also Chair of the Nomination Committee, and Chair of the Fraud in Banking Forum.
Anne Collard has also left the Board following her resignation from ANZ effective 12 April. Serving most recently as Deputy Chair, Ms Collard has been an outstanding advocate for payments innovation and for the role of women in payments since joining the Board in September 2016.
On 5 April, Craig Kennedy, CEO of CUSCAL, resigned as the director elected by Credit Union members. Mr Kennedy also served as Chair of our direct entry management committee since his appointment in August 2016. We thank him for his leadership and insights, which he continues to provide on the Australian Payments Council.
Lynda McMillan, Head of Payments Representation Institutional Banking and Markets at CBA has replaced Stuart Woodward. Ms McMillan has served as an alternate director over several years and has had extensive experience across AusPayNet's various committees and working groups.
ANZ's new Head of Payments Industry, Jackie Kallman has replaced Anne Collard. Ms Kallman is well-known to AusPaynet, including through her contribution on our management committees.
Derek Weatherley, CEO of Indue Limited, is the new director representing Credit Union members. Mr Weatherley has had a close involvement with AusPayNet, most recently as an alternate director since August 2016.
More information on our Board is available here.
Our new Open Loop Transport Payments Framework has been produced in collaboration with the payments industry and transport authorities, and is designed to enable transport authorities to successfully implement open loop payments.
A Considerations and a Use Case document accompany the Framework providing among other things, recommendations on open loop best practice, and details on standard transaction flows. These documents are available to parties working with local transport operators on contactless payments initiatives.
Last year, together with Transport for NSW, we developed the framework for the Contactless Transport Payments Trial on the Manly ferry. Following its success, Transport for NSW expanded the trial in March 2018. Customers can now use their Mastercard, American Express or Visa cards (or devices such as smartphone or wearable) to pay their fare on all Sydney ferries and the L1 Dulwich Hill light rail.
For more information, read our recent blog post or contact us.
The New Payments Platform started carrying payments between employees at participating financial institutions in November 2017, but it was a donation to a children's charity by NPP Australia CEO Adrian Lovney on 15 February that marked the first 'public' payment.
Globally, there has been significant interest in the NPP's development largely because of its unique design. The NPP comprises a layered architecture that splits the general-purpose infrastructure and the overlay services that sit on top. Other features include the use of ISO 20022 to support data-rich messages and an addressing service - 'PayID' – that lets customers make payments to a mobile phone number or email address, rather than a BSB and account number.
The first overlay service called 'Osko', provided by BPAY, is for near-instant person-to-person mobile payments. At a recent Australia-Israel Chamber panel discussion, which included our CEO Leila Fourie, BPAY's CEO John Banfield reported that only three weeks after the launch, Osko was totalling some 80,000 transactions a day.
AusPayNet was instrumental in the NPP's early development in terms of industry collaboration, governance, and structure. We are delighted to have been a part of this major industry initiative and congratulate NPP Australia on the build, launch and successful operation of the NPP.
We provide an update on the Open Banking Review, the Inquiry into Competition in the Australian Financial System, and the national digital identify framework.
On 9 February 2018, the Government released the Final Report into the Review into Open Banking in Australia announcing it would take further comments on the contents until 23 March.
The Report makes 50 recommendations, on the most appropriate model for implementing Open Banking, and proposes an ambitious timeframe for commencement - 12 months from the announcement of a final Government decision.
The Report draws heavily on the UK experience and proposes a multi-regulator model. The recommendations include the type of data to be shared and how it will be shared. The proposed data transfer mechanism would utilise application programming interfaces (APIs), using the UK open banking technical standards as their starting point.
Treasury has consulted on the Report's recommendations and is now considering the responses. AusPayNet has participated in open banking workshops facilitated by Treasury to explore initial questions.
The Government is yet to respond to the recommendations in the Report. Open Banking will be implemented as part of the Consumer Data Right (CDR), which was announced by the Government in November last year. After banking, the CDR will be rolled out to other sectors such as energy and telecommunications.
On 7 February, the Productivity Commission (PC) released the Draft Report of its Inquiry into Competition in the Australian Financial System inviting further feedback by 20 March 2018.
In our post-draft submission, we commented on a number of the Draft recommendations and findings, such as interchange fees and merchant routing. In addition, we supported proposals for a review of Purchase Payment Facilities (PPF) and the ePayments Code. We also reiterated our views on account-switching and corrected some misstatements in the Report.
The draft findings and recommendations have the potential set the scene for financial regulation, including payments in the coming years. The Final Report is due to be provided to the Government by 1 July 2018.
Our submission to the Draft Report can be accessed below.
The Australian Government continues to refine its approach to digital identity, releasing the first component of its Trusted Digital Identity Framework (TDIF) on 21 February 2018.
The TDIF is designed to provide the foundations for consistent, secure and reliable digital identity. The release of these documents followed consultations with the financial sector, privacy advocates, technical experts and the public at large.
The 10 documents which make up the first tranche of the TDIF cover issues including accreditation, fraud control, and privacy requirements. A further two components will be released through the year, which will set the standard to manage an offline option for creating a digital identity, and to authorise individuals to act on behalf of a business.
AusPayNet continues to support the Australian Payments Council in its work on digital identity.
