But, the greatest challenge in this journey is how to get the correct comparison product!!
In this article we would explore how an NLP technique, Fuzzy String Matching (FSM), can help in accomplishing the former, especially for price tracking in e-commerce. FSM is sometimes also called as Approximate String Matching.
As humans, we can easily state that these products are nothing but one. As humans, we have limits. It would become rather impossible to classify such cases as one, manually, when the list increase to tens of thousands for just one website. Imagine the quantum when, this matching has to be done across 10s of websites and for 100s of product categories!
Heuristic distance is more of a user based application, with no specific mathematical base. Heuristic Jaro distance between two words is the minimum number of single-character transpositions required to change one word into the other. The other advancement to Jaro is Jaro-Winkler distances.
R and Python offer multiple packages to implement FSM.

This Week's Popcorn: 'That's My Boy'
Guilty, With an Explanation
Special to the Observer
Director Sean Anders's "That's My Boy" has sent me into hiding, peering from the widow's walk where, family apocrypha has it, Great Aunt Martha yelled "drat!" when she sighted Great Uncle Melville returning from sea. You see, I was observed to laugh near convulsively at Adam Sandler's latest foray into bad taste, and I fear reprisal.
Thus, it is only a matter of time before I spot the indignant emissaries from the Ladies League of Human Decency, followed by the accreditation committee of the Evangelical Conference of Film Critics, coming to give me what for…with a vengeance. I am guilty as charged. It was only a matter of time. I'm tired of running. It all began in childhood.
I might as well admit it now, as it's all bound to be dragged out at the hearing, anyway. I loved Jerry Lewis. Although the iconic wag, considered an artistic genius in France, and socially conservative, would rail at the conclusion, it is my thesis that Mr. Sandler is his comic heir. Just subtract the latter's filth quotient, and you'll spot the similarity in shtick.
Both take us to a stage of behavior our parents prayed we'd grow out of one day. Lewis's persona harks back to the aught years. Showing slight progress, Sandler's multimillion dollar case of arrested development nostalgically treats us to a rerun of smirky adolescence, perhaps a consolation for having that blankie ripped away from us.
In this instance he is Donny Berger, onetime hero of the supermarket rags courtesy of a nationally exposed, illicit relationship with his 8th grade math teacher, Miss McGarricle (Eva Amurri Martino). Skip forward about twenty-five years since the scandalous impropriety. Donny has spent all the money his infamy brought, and the IRS is calling.
Adding insult to injury, the son that emanated from the famed case of statutory rape, now on the eve of his wedding, has long disavowed any relation to his dad. A successful hedge fund wunderkind portrayed by Andy Samberg, he has even changed his name, to Todd Peterson. His lovely intended, Jamie (Leighton Meester), is none the wiser.
Well, you know what happens in the movies when people about to be wed under an assumed identity try to keep it hush-hush. Yep, in a boorish variation on the stunt Eris, the goddess of discord, pulled, Dad shows up just before the nuptials. But shh! He won't upend Todd's big fib about being orphaned when Mummy and Pater died in an accident.
Nope, Donny has other plans. He has hatched a scurrilous deal with a reality TV show honcho that'll net him the $43,000 Uncle Sam is demanding. So he pretends to be Todd's long lost best friend. However, can he possibly help it if, of course, he becomes an instant favorite of the well wishers who have gathered at Todd's boss' manse for the festivities?
As expected, Donny is the catalyst for the en masse lowering of inhibitions among the attendees and the resultant free-for-all that is unleashed. Attesting that the raunchy farce fest, of which this is a prime example, now provides the laughs formerly supplied by the screwball comedies of the 1930's and '40s, it also shares the same philosophical goals.
Stuffy convention, hypocrisy and deception are torn asunder, the layers of false piety peeled like a rotten onion until everyone is pretty much shown for what they are, and then some. This includes the obligatory bachelor party with its truth serum-like effect. Very little is sacred, testing both your grasp of the 1st Amendment and your tolerance for smut.
The obscenities cause one to ponder what is and is not acceptable. In all fairness, there is a subjective scale that weighs the source of the ribaldry. Sandler's stuff avoids the mean spiritedness of some shock jocks, and he's at least in good company when he revisits a niche of naughtiness that wrought much wrath for the Pulitzer Prize-winning Philip Roth.
But while there'll be no plaudits for belles-lettres here, David Caspe's script does exhibit more thought and creativity than is usually lavished on movies of this caliber. If Damon Runyon took a time machine to the present and decided to go blue, his characters could very well resemble the, uh, Runyonesque sorts who help Mr. Sandler spew his madness.
That means a famous rapper (Vanilla Ice) on the skids, a libidinal octogenarian, a 200 pound pole dancer/confidante named Champale, and a snarky brother of the bride whose sexual proclivities even libertine Donny Berger declares "disgusting." So, psst! "That's My Boy" is recommended, but only to the open minded. Just don't tell anyone I said so.
"That's My Boy," rated R, is a Columbia Pictures release directed by Sean Anders and stars Adam Sandler, Andy Samberg and Leighton Meester. Running time: 114 minutes


The Brain-Gut connection is highlighted in medical journals fairly often these days. Unfortunately, it is not getting much discussion in clinics where depression is quickly diagnosed and treated with medications that often have side effects and questionable results.
The article (title) above shows that patients with depression and other psychiatric diagnoses are often found to be lacking in certain healthy bacteria in the gut. This is why the term "psychobiotics" has been coined. Poor diets, too much sugar, not enough fiber, too many acid blocking pills and antibiotics, and even certain antidepressants (Mirtazapine and Fluoxetine) 4 may compromise our gut flora. According to this article, the benign gut flora B. infantis may be used for depression. L. helveticus and L. rhamnosus may be used for anxiety. They work on GABA receptors which improves dopamine function in the brain: feed your gut flora real food.

What is skeleton? Is it some sort of sledding sport?
See more Olympic game pictures.
Image courtesy © 2005 Torino 2006/LaPresse.
Sliding has been part of the sports world since the early 1800's and continues to be an integral part of the international sports scene today. There are three sliding sports in the Winter Olympics: bobsleigh, skeleton and luge.
Because of the prone position of the slider (lying face down on the sled, head first with your arms back), skeleton might seem the most like the sort of recreational winter sledding you may have experienced. But, it's a lot more intense; approximately 80 miles per hour intense! Yep, that's right. Eighty miles per hour and your face is just inches from the ice as you barrel down the track. Here's how it works:
The sled is made of fiberglass or steel and has two steel runners along the bottom and two handles on top. (On some fiberglass models, the "handles" are actually two sides of a specially molded fiberglass shell that is made to fit an individual's particular physique.) Bumpers located on the front and rear of the skeleton act as shock absorbers and help protect the slider from the wall of the ice tunnel. The sled measures 3 feet in length by 16 inches wide and weighs between 70 and 115 pounds (this depends on the weight of the slider, as there's an overall weight limit).
The skeleton slider wears a very close-fitting, aerodynamic speed suit made of rubber and a durable helmet complete with visor and chin guard. Using spiked shoes, the skeleton slider runs as fast as he or she is able along 50m of ice. The slider is trying to build up as much momentum as possible. All the while, the slider is bent over, holding on to the skeleton by the handles or the sides, pushing it down the track.
After sprinting 50m, the slider must quickly board (stretch out onto) the sled without losing any of the momentum that has built up. Now it's time to barrel down the 1300m to 1500m ice tunnel/track. There are hairpin bends and "S" shaped curves in the track. The slider steers by slightly shifting his or her body weight to the left or right. At the end of the run, the slider slows the skeleton to a stop by dragging his or her feet along the icy track.
Skeleton events were part of the 1928 and 1948 Winter Olympics, but did not make the schedule again for many years. In 2002, skeleton returned to the Winter Olympic schedule with competitions for both men and women. For both the men's and women's competitions, the sliders make two runs in one day that are each timed to 0.01 seconds. The scoring and standings are decided based on the aggregate time of each player's two runs.

National Archives Releases Another Trove of JFK Assassination Records
Dec 16, 2021 Madeline Hiltz

President Joe Biden's administration has released another batch of once-classified documents, meaning that 97 percent of the Kennedy collection is now available to the public. The National Archives has now released 12,879 documents, including an 80-volume file on Oswald known as the "personality file."
In 2021, the National Archives released nearly 1,500 documents pertaining to the assassination of John F. Kennedy. These documents included never-before-seen investigative notes, memos, and cables prepared by the CIA, FBI, State Department, and Defense Department.

The Warren Commission's findings
After President John F. Kennedy was killed on November 22, 1963, in Dallas, Texas, an investigative commission was set up overseen by Chief Justice Earl Warren. After ten months, the Warren Commission concluded that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he fatally shot President Kennedy from the Texas School Book Depository.
Two days after Kennedy was assassinated, local Texas nightclub owner Jack Ruby shot and killed Oswald while he was in police custody. The Warren Commission concluded that Ruby also acted alone in the killing of Lee Harvey Oswald. Conspiracy theories have since arisen surrounding JFK's assassination, and many people doubt the Warren Commission's conclusions.

The previously released records from the Warren Commission's investigation contained no new revelations that support any sort of conspiracy or coverup surrounding Kennedy's assassination. In fact, these new memos were overall underwhelming for JFK historians and researchers. The vast majority of the 1,491 documents released were duplicates of previously released records, with only a few redacted words revealed.
Larry Sabato, a political analyst at the University of Virginia and a leading Kennedy assassination scholar, said that the speed at which the government releases these documents adds fuel to the many wild theories about the assassination. He told CNN, "[t]he lack of transparency and the fact that getting these documents after 58 years is like pulling a whole mouthful of teeth- it tells you why we have so many conspiracy theories."

Plot to assassinate Fidel Castro
One of the previously released CIA cables describes how Oswald phoned the Soviet embassy while he was in Mexico City, trying to obtain a visa that would allow him to visit the Soviet Union. While in Mexico City, he also visited the Cuban embassy, trying to get a travel visa that would let him visit Cuba and wait there for a Soviet visa.
Another memo, dated a day after Kennedy's assassination, indicates that Lee Harvey Oswald communicated with an identified KGB officer while at the Soviet embassy in September 1963.
One CIA document marked "Secret Eyes Only" follows American government plots to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro, including one that involved the use of "the criminal underworld with contacts inside Cuba."
Several FBI files were also released, reporting on the bureau's efforts to investigate major mafia figures and showing how the FBI kept regular tabs on anti-Castro groups operating in Florida and Puerto Rico in the 1960s.

In 1992, Congress passed the John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection Act, which requires all previously withheld documents surrounding the assassination to be released by October 2017. More than 90% of these records have now been publicly released, but 520 documents are still fully withheld from the public. The majority of these withheld documents are tax records, including Lee Harvey Oswald's tax returns. The remaining files were released on December 15, 2022.
Many Americans don't believe that Oswald acted alone
A poll has indicated that the majority of Americans do not believe the Warren Commission's statement that Oswald acted alone and that there is a greater conspiracy being hidden from the public. The new group of released documents is not expected to reveal any conspiracy theories. Instead, it might reveal how knowledgeable the CIA and FBI were about Oswald's intent to kill the president.
Philip Shenon, author of A Cruel and Shocking Act: The Secret History of the Kennedy Assassination, believes "…there may be information in these documents to suggest that other people knew before the Kennedy assassination that this man Lee Harvey Oswald was a danger and that he may have talked openly about his intention to kill the president." He asked, "…did the agencies of government, the CIA and FBI, have some sense that this man was a danger to President Kennedy, and if they had acted on that information could they have saved the president?"

Another segment of files is set to be released on June 30, 2023, as the need to protect the records has continued to diminish over time.

Welcome back everyone. I hope that you all enjoyed a fantastic break over Easter. We have a new look to our bulletin and I am sure that you will enjoy reading the interactive format. You can keep up to date with all the children's activities by liking our new Facebook page and following our Twitter accounts, RSM Prep School, RSM Early Years and RSM School Sport. School notices can be found on the website and there is a link to the relevant page further down the bulletin (the Achievement Assembly list is attached to this page). The children who are in the Achievement Book will be featured in a special website gallery each week. You can also find information relating to the school calendar, sports website and payment portal at the end of the bulletin.
At Reigate St Mary's we have enjoyed being back into the swing of term and the children have loved the fine weather allowing them to get out onto the Bund enjoying the grounds and, of course, starting the Summer team sports. During the Easter break Mr Williams ran the ever popular holiday club and a small amount of development work went on including some extra artificial grass in the EDEN area (our FOSMA eco area) allowing the children to use this all year round. Following an alien spacecraft crashing on our grounds early on Tuesday morning Year 6 swung into full investigative mode as part of their Combined Humanities stunning start in the study of space. The full story is in our news section.
This term we are looking forward to a number of residential trips, outings and more stunning starts, marvellous middles and fantastic finishes to the children's Combined Humanities and I will bring you update on these as the weeks roll by.

Everything You Need To Know About Kevin Smith's And Johnny Depp's Film Yoga Hosers
By George Percival in Movies / TV / Theatre on 26 August 2014
Follow Johnny Depp
Johnny Depp Kevin Smith Michael Parks Haley Joel Osment Tony Hale Jason Mewes
Johnny Depp and Kevin Smith are teaming up with their daughters for the second movie in Smith's "True North Trilogy". But what do we know about it so far?
After a run of poorly received films that have dented Johnny Depp's reputation as a box-office magnet, the Hollywood superstar must be keen to move onto pastures anew. For his newest venture, Depp has teamed up with cult filmmaker Kevin Smith in a high-concept action movie based around the exploits of a pair of teen yoga fanatics and their fight against evil spirits. Depp's daughter Lily-Rose and Smith's daughter Harley Quinn will take the lead roles whilst Depp will co-star in the curiously entitled project, Yoga Hosers.
In recent years, Depp's box-office status has tailed off after some poor performances.
Set in rural Canada, Smith has written the film and will direct it when it begins production. The story will follow the two girls as they battle a mysterious and ancient evil that threatens a planned party by rising from the underground, penetrating through a spiritual netherworld to usurp the two girl's weekend plans to attend the coolest party in town. It will mark the second venture by Smith in a trilogy of films, nicknamed the "True North Trilogy" set in the vast and spacious Canadian countryside. The first, Tusk, is currently scheduled to do the rounds in the Autumnal film festival circuit and features largely the same cast as Yoga Hosers. Harley Quinn and Lily Rose also appear in Tusk in roles that are synonymous with Smith's directorial oeuvre: convenience store clerks. For Yoga Hosers, however, the girl will take on much more pro-active roles.

Despite being labelled as a "comic-book movie" by Smith, the film is not based on an actual comic-book, but instead originates in Smith's warped imagination. With the two girls tasked with fighting an ancient evil, Johnny Depp will be the man who aids them in their battle, just so the two girls can attend that all important Grade 12 party. Depp will play a man-hunter from Montreal named Guy Lapointe to fight for their lives with "all seven Chakras, one warrior pose at a time", according to producers. One thing is for certain, Yoga Hosers looks set to be the exact opposite film in terms of style, to what many film fans associate with Smith. The director shot to prominence with his brand of micro-budget 'slacker' films, beginning with the much heralded cult classic Clerks, which was shot almost entirely within the confines of the very convenience store that Smith worked at as an adolescent.
Smith is known as the king of slacker films, but Yoga Hosers promises to be anything but.
Also appearing in the film will be Kill Bill's Michael Parks, Haley Joel Osment who you may remember as the boy from Sixth Sense and Tony Hale, who plays the blustering idiot and ultimate mummy's boy Buster Bluth in the brilliant sitcome Arrested Development. Fans of Jay and Silent Bob will be interested to hear that Jason Mewes has also joined the project, hinting at a return from everyone's favourite slacker duo.

CHI RHO – Das Geheimnis (auch Chi Rho – Das Geheimnis) ist eine deutsche Zeichentrickfilmserie aus dem Jahr 2010 in der Regie von Michael Schaack und Florian Wagner. Sie bezieht sich auf Geschichten des Alten Testaments und des Neuen Testaments. Der Titel nimmt Bezug auf das Christusmonogramm.

Handlung
Am Anfang der Serie wird der Bibelforscher Professor Petersen von Hreel, einem Gesandten des Bösen, entführt. Hreel will die Bibel zugunsten des Bösen verändern. Auf der Suche nach ihrem Vater durchreist seine Tochter Cora mit Hilfe eines magischen Würfels, Cubus Temporis, die  Kapitel der Heiligen Schrift. Dort trifft sie neue Freunde, wie Habib und die Wonderers, die ihr auf ihrer abenteuerlichen Reise hilfreich zur Seite stehen.

Figuren
 Cora Petersen: Mädchen, 12 Jahre alt, Tochter von Professor Petersen
Coras Mutter starb, als sie noch klein war. Als ihr Vater von Hreel entführt wird, macht sie sich mit Hilfe des Cubus Temporis auf die Suche nach ihm. Sie landet per Zeitsprung in Jerusalem, ca. 12 n. Chr., wo sie auf Habib trifft. Gemeinsam mit ihm und den Wonderers reist sie durch die Bibelgeschichten, um ihren Vater zu retten. An manche erinnert sie sich sogar von selbst, wie z. B. die Geschichte von David und Goliath, die als Kind ihre Lieblings-Gute-Nacht-Geschichte war. Gegen Ende einer fast jeden Folge spricht sie immer den Adhortativsatz Folgen wir der Bibelspur! aus.
 Hreel: Gesandter des Bösen
Seine Aufgabe ist es, die Bibelgeschichten zu zerstören und so dafür zu sorgen, dass es das Buch niemals geben wird. Als Hilfe entführt er Prof. Petersen und nimmt ihn als seinen Sklaven getarnt mit. Hreel kann durch hypnotischen Blick Menschen zu seinem Zweck manipulieren. Um das Wissen über die Bibel zu bekommen das er benötigt erpresst er Coras Vater damit, seiner Tochter etwas anzutun (z. B. Räubern ausliefern, töten). Die Bezeichnung HREEL-Spektroskopie diente als Herkunft vom Namen des Antagonisten.
 Professor Petersen: 44 Jahre alt, Vater von Cora, Bibelforscher
Prof. Petersen hat 12 Jahre lang studiert und ist ein weltweit anerkannter Bibelforscher. Aufgrund seiner Arbeit hat er für
seine Tochter Cora wenig Zeit. Besonders sein neuestes Projekt, der Cubus Temporis, ein goldener Würfel der Zeitreisen ermöglicht, spannt ihn ein. Da er so viel über die Bibel und ihre Geschichten weiß, entführt Hreel ihn und erpresst ihn damit, Cora etwas anzutun, wenn er ihm keine Auskünfte über die Bibelgeschichten gibt. Damit Cora ihm folgen kann, hinterlässt er an jedem Ort das Chi Rho Symbol mit der Stelle in der Bibel die Hreels nächstes Ziel ist.
 Habib: 13 Jahre alt, Junge, Kenner des Heiligen Landes
Habib stammt aus Nazareth, zur selben Zeit als Jesus lebte. Nach einem Streit mit seinem Vater haut er von zuhause ab und zieht nach Jerusalem, um dort reich und berühmt zu werden. Dort trifft er die Wonderers und arbeitet mit ihnen zusammen. Als Cora durch den Cubus Temporis zufällig genau bei ihm auftaucht, hält er sie anfangs für einen Flaschengeist, doch schon bald freunden sie sich an und Habib hilft Cora dabei, sich auf die Suche nach ihrem Vater zu machen. Insgeheim ist er sogar etwas in Cora verliebt, was er aber nie zugeben würde.
 Die Wonderers: 4 Straßenmusiker: Emma (Eule), Maxxi (Wüstenspringmaus), Nick (Hund), Sammy (Chamäleon)
Die Vier können nicht nur singen, sondern auch sprechen. Sie haben Jesus' Geburt im Stall vor Bethlehem miterlebt und dort die Band "Die Wonderers" gegründet. Seitdem verdienen sie ihr Brot mit Musik. Als Habib beschließt Cora zu begleiten, sind sie direkt mit von der Partie und helfen den beiden auf ihrer Reise, wo sie nur können.
 Cubus Temporis: magischer goldener Würfel, kann sich in eine mechanische Eule namens C.T. verwandeln, enthält das Wissen um die Geschichten der Bibel und ermöglicht das Zeit-Reisen in diese
C.T. kann ebenfalls fliegen und sprechen und steht Cora und Habib mit seinem Wissen über die Bibel zur Seite. Allerdings ist er manchmal etwas vergesslich, weshalb es manchmal etwas länger braucht um herauszufinden wo genau sie diesmal gelandet sind. Wenn er sich zurück in einen Würfel verwandelt, kann Cora das jeweilige Bibelbuch, Kapitel und Vers eingeben und C.T. bringt sie direkt dorthin. C.T. wird vom Schauspieler und Synchronsprecher Ilja Richter gesprochen. Als Namensherkunft für den sprechenden goldenen Würfel diente zusätzlich die Bezeichnung Computertomographie mit derselben Abkürzung.

Sometimes it seems like there is nowhere for teens to be.
Here's what they are doing about it.
Harold Ickes Playground doesn't look like much: a paved ballfield atop the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, surrounded by a chain-link fence., One of its closest neighbors is the Brooklyn Tesla dealership, and it is prone to winds off the waterfront. But to high school students from Red Hook Initiative's youth organizing group, it was perfect.
Two years ago, they decided Red Hook needed a skate park—but without a location, the idea went nowhere. One year ago, they surveyed the parks in the neighborhood, and picked Harold Ickes as their spot. Having solved one problem, another reared its head: the build-out would cost $3 million, far more than the average participatory budgeting project.
"We went to [Councilman] Carlos Menchaca and asked him, What can we do to get the skate park funded?" says group member John Texidor, now 20. "He said he would be willing to give $1 million if participatory budgeting is willing to give $1M—[and then he'd go] to Brad Lander and ask him to give $1 million. All we have to do is get signatures to show that we want the park." Texidor and his teenage compatriots eventually collected 800 signatures from their neighbors.

Opinion Macaskill on markets
Macaskill on markets: Credit traps for buy-side giants
Jon Macaskill
Published on: Monday, October 02, 2017
Norway's sovereign wealth fund has decided to steer clear of corporate bonds, which will help it to avoid the reputational traps that loom for some other large investors.
Illustration: Kevin February
The corporate credit markets are booming. Issuance volumes are high and default rates are low, with spreads to government debt tight. Secondary market liquidity is decent for recently issued bonds of benchmark size and is improving for credit derivatives linked to corporate debt.
Important decisions surrounding the issuance and trading of corporate debt are still made with very little public disclosure, however. This poses a reputational threat to investors such as BlackRock and Pimco that both act as anchor buyers of new deals and sponsors of secondary market trade venues.
Norway's sovereign wealth fund – the biggest of its type in the world with roughly $1 trillion of assets – announced at the beginning of September that it is changing its approach to fixed income investment to focus only on holding government bonds with a limited maturity in just three currencies: US dollars, euros and sterling.
Important decisions surrounding the issuance and trading of corporate debt are still made with very little public disclosure, however.
The fund does not plan a fire sale of its existing corporate bond holdings or a ban on credit trading, but its new approach will allow it to avoid future involvement in primary issuance and conflicts over secondary credit market structure.
Asset managers avoided the opprobrium suffered by investment banks after the credit crisis of 2008 and also sidestepped the most onerous changes to regulation.
Closer scrutiny of the mechanics of the credit markets could nevertheless embarrass some leading buy-side players, even when they have acted without ill intent.
There have been complaints about preferential treatment for big investors in the primary market for corporate bond launches for years, and sporadic investigations by regulators into allocation practices, although there have not yet been significant charges of abuse or supervisory pressure for fundamental changes.
There are also potential conflicts of interest in secondary credit market trading that could eventually trouble big asset managers.
Recent bickering over whether or not to declare a credit event and trigger the exercise of default swaps on energy trading firm Noble was framed largely as a dispute between rival bank dealers. Goldman Sachs and Nomura were reportedly keen for the relevant determinations committee administered by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) to declare that Noble had restructured its debt so that their holdings of default swap protection could be exercised, while BNP Paribas and JPMorgan were believed to oppose declaration of a credit event because they were sellers of protection.
As confusion mounted over why a ruling could not be agreed on whether a Noble loan extension constituted debt restructuring for default swap purposes, the role of the asset managers that serve alongside dealers on ISDA's determination committees drew attention.
Despite extensive work to create governance codes for these committees, key aspects of their workings remain mysterious to outsiders. The way certain asset managers emerge as the five investor representatives on determination committees alongside 10 of the usual dealer suspects is one of those mysteries.
There are publicly available rules on how an asset manager can apply to join a determination committee, including requirements such as demonstrating credit derivatives volumes. There is also a blackballing function, however, as an application can be denied by a two-thirds vote of the existing non-dealer committee members.
That means that a group of six of the eight current non-dealer committee members of Alliance Bernstein, Citadel, Cyrus Capital, Eaton Vance, Elliott, King Street, Pimco and PGIM could block a rival investor from getting a seat at the table to help decide whether and when to declare a credit event for a corporate borrower.
The current non-dealer committee members are all US based, unlike the designated dealers who also sit on determinations committees and are drawn from a list of international banks. A further quirk in the line-up is that while Citadel, the hedge fund founded by Ken Griffin, is on the broad determinations committee as a non-dealer, Citadel Securities, which Griffin founded as an independent market maker, is expanding its activity as a credit derivatives dealer to compete with banks for market-making revenue.
These oddities and ambiguities seem ripe for lawsuits or regulatory investigations and there are other aspects of secondary credit trading that could also lead to reputational issues for asset managers.
One is the way in which they allocate flows to different electronic trading venues.
Tussles between dealers over sponsorship of electronic platforms are common. Bank chief executives collectively regret the way they allowed Michael Bloomberg to generate a personal fortune of roughly $50 billion from a business founded on data sourced from banks, and are keen to prevent trading venues from dominating fixed income electronic deal execution the way that Bloomberg developed a stranglehold on messaging about trades. Banks also fight to obtain the best terms for their own dealers and to defend or extend market share.
Asset managers are inevitably drawn into these turf battles and top firms know that they have enormous ability to wield influence.
The biggest asset manager in the world today is BlackRock, which has over $5 trillion under management, and is in a unique position to influence market structure issues after it helped regulators and banks to establish the value of complex securities in the years after the 2008 credit crisis.
This sway helped BlackRock to thwart a recent attempt by a big dealer to encourage peers and clients to reduce the amount of credit business conducted over the MarketAxess platform, according to market participants.
BlackRock did not want to discuss the details of its muscle flexing, but it did provide a statement outlining its approach to credit venues from Richie Prager, head of the trading, liquidity and investments platform at the firm.
"We began our partnership with MarketAxess in 2013 when we announced the creation of a unified, electronic trading solution in the US credit markets and we remain as committed to that partnership as ever. As evident in MarketAxess' latest earnings report, there continues to be strong growth in both their ECN and open trading platforms. Our commitment to electronic trading platforms extends beyond MarketAxess, and we work with various ECNs in our effort to reduce liquidity fragmentation and improve pricing across credit markets," Prager said.
There is a no reason at all why BlackRock should allow a Wall Street dealer – or a cabal of dealers – to dictate how market participants should direct flows. Nor should asset managers be condemned for challenging existing oligarchical practices on the part of dealers. But big asset managers often have similar conflicts of interest to banks. BlackRock is not just a partner with MarketAxess in the "open trading" initiative that Prager referred to, but funds managed by BlackRock are also the second largest institutional shareholder in the firm, for example.
A by-product of the move by Norway's sovereign wealth fund to simplify its fixed income portfolio will be avoidance of some of the thornier issues in the corporate credit markets. Other big asset managers would be wise to evaluate their own exposure to potential reputational challenges, and hope that Wall Street dealers are the focus of any future investigation of market practices.

Bloomberg LP and Proskauer Serve LGBTQ Immigrant Survivors of Hate Violence
By William C. Silverman & Wendy Dessy on February 21, 2019
According to the most recent FBI statistics, reported incidents of hate crimes increased by 17 percent in 2017, rising for the third consecutive year. The FBI determined that the primary motivators of these crimes were race, ethnicity, religion and sexual orientation.1 When compounded with the rise in anti-immigrant sentiment, and recent changes in U.S. policy that negatively impact immigrants seeking asylum relief, there is an enormous, urgent need for effective pro bono legal services among LGBTQ immigrants.
Given this context, Bloomberg LP and Proskauer are proud sponsors of Lauren DesRosiers, an Equal Justice Works Fellow at the Anti-Violence Project (AVP), who is devoted to providing holistic legal services to LGBTQ immigrant survivors of violence. According to Lauren, "this project combats the further marginalization of these communities by creating channels whereby LGBTQ immigrant survivors of violence can be paired with pro bono attorneys and other forms of representation."
To kick-off the project, lawyers from Bloomberg LP and Proskauer came together last week for training on the U Visa, which is a crucial form of immigration relief for crime victims who cooperate with law enforcement. Receiving a U Visa provides legal status and employment authorization to crime victims and qualifying family members, ultimately giving them a pathway to citizenship. Lauren conducted the training along with her colleague, Christina Peña from AVP, the only organization in New York that provides support and advocacy specifically for LGBTQ and HIV-affected survivors of violence. The two spoke comprehensively about the needs of LGBTQ immigrants, highlighting the ways in which lawyers can assist them in a culturally competent and trauma-informed manner.
In addition to filing U Visas, the project will enable pro bono lawyers to pursue other forms of legal relief for this vulnerable population, to the extent available, including asylum. Lauren also will participate in broader programming in order to educate and engage lawyers and staff at Bloomberg LP and Proskauer on this issue. As Lauren explained, "Immigrant LGBTQ survivors of hate violence exist at a critical nexus of underserved communities and are at a high risk of estrangement from institutional systems of justice."
1 In 2017, the National Coalition of Anti-Violence Programs (NCAVP) recorded 52 individual reports of anti-LGBTQ homicide. The year before there were 28 individual reports in addition to the 49 lives claimed at the Pulse Nightclub shooting in Orlando, Florida.

Q: Wireshark and promiscous mode I am using Wireshark for class. Does Wireshark put your card in promiscuous mode automatically, or must you manually do it?  I've searched everywhere I can, and cannot find the answer. I have it running in a virtual machine, and when I set the virtual machine promiscuous mode I'm not sure if that means I'm actually putting the card in such a mode, or just enabling the ability to put it in such mode.  Basically I'm not sure if the virtual machine setting is turning on promiscuous or Wireshark.

A: Wireshark automatically puts the card into promiscuous mode.
Optionally, this can be disabled by using the -p parameter in the command line, or via a checkbox in the GUI:

Interdisciplinary Feminist Perspectives on Crimes of Clerical Child Sexual Abuse
Kate Gleeson
Timothy Willem Jones
Published September 27, 2018 by Routledge
Published April 28, 2020 by Routledge
In recent years the sexual abuse of children in religious institutions has gripped the Western world, as churches, governments and civil society attempt to come to terms with the magnitude of widespread historical abuses. Questions continue to be asked about why it is that perpetrators were able to offend repeatedly and with impunity; what is it about institutions that facilitate or foster abuse; and why have survivors of abuse often been treated inadequately by diverse national and international justice and political systems throughout the last century? This volume makes a significant contribution to international understandings of the vexed and sensitive 'wicked problem' of child sexual abuse in religious institutions. The chapters in this volume are written from a range of feminist disciplinary responses, including law, criminology, anthropology and history. Together, they provide important historical context for the current social and political interest in clerical sex crimes. They examine political and legal avenues for redress for survivors of these crimes and critically examine the ways in which church cultures position clergy and clergy offenders in relation to victims.
The chapters originally published in a special issue of the Australian Feminist Law Journal.

HANOI, Vietnam - North Korea on Thursday warned the United States that imposing fresh sanctions and conducting military drills with South Korea this weekend will endanger the entire region and destroy hopes for a nuclear-free Korean peninsula.
The remarks precede an Asian security meeting in the Vietnamese capital today, attended by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and the top diplomats from both Koreas four months after the sinking of a South Korean warship that killed 46 sailors. The North has been blamed but denies responsibility.
JOHANNESBURG - Desmond Tutu, one of South Africa's most beloved figures, announced plans Thursday to retire from public life after his 79th birthday in October. The Nobel peace laureate, honored for his efforts to fight apartheid, said he wants to spend more time with his family. South Africans lavished praise on Tutu and said his retirement was well-deserved, but many said they couldn't imagine the country without his moral leadership.
THE HAGUE, Netherlands - The United Nations' highest court ruled Thursday that Kosovo's declaration of independence was legal, dealing a blow to Serbia, which vowed never to accept its former province as a separate state and warned the ruling could embolden separatist movements around the world.


N.C. Protesters Close Section Of I-85 After Police-Involved Shooting Authorities used tear gas to disperse protesters in Charlotte, N.C., after the fatal shooting of a black man by police who said he was armed and posed a threat.
Authorities used tear gas to disperse protesters, officers were injured and a highway was shut down during protests in Charlotte, N.C., over the fatal shooting of a black man by police who said he was armed and posed a threat.
The protests broke out Tuesday after 43-year-old Keith Lamont Scott was fatally shot at an apartment complex on the city's northeast side. They continued into early Wednesday morning, when TV footage showed dozens of protesters on Interstate 85 facing a line of law enforcement officers. At one point a fire flared up.
Neither the North Carolina Highway Patrol nor Charlotte police could immediately be reached for comment. The North Carolina Department of Transportation website showed a portion of I-85 near UNC Charlotte was closed in both directions. The website said the closure is due to police activity.
Earlier in the night, a larger group of demonstrators gathered near the scene of the shooting. The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department tweeted that demonstrators were destroying marked police vehicles and that approximately 12 officers had been injured, including one who was hit in the face with a rock. Photos and TV video showed police firing tear gas to break up the crowd. Some officers were in riot gear.
Charlotte police officers went to the complex about 4 p.m. looking for a suspect with an outstanding warrant when they saw Scott - who was not the suspect they were looking for - inside a car, department spokesman Keith Trietley said in a statement.
Officers saw Scott get out of the car with a gun and then get back in, Trietley said. When officers approached, the man exited the car with the gun again. At that point, officers deemed the man a threat and at least one fired a weapon, he said.
Shelby's attorney has said Crutcher was not following the officers' commands and that Shelby was concerned because he kept reaching for his pocket as if he was carrying a weapon. An attorney representing Crutcher's family says Crutcher committed no crime and gave officers no reason to shoot him.


Patrick Muldoon (Austin Reed, Days of our Lives) was named on the Huffington Post's list of 14 teen idols from the 90s who should make a come back. You can see Patrick and the entire list here.
it really shows how daytime soaps and in this case Days doesn't matter..lol since he made his comeback on this soap this year and they talk about a 'come back' lmao..well Patrick try to come back on prime time, it seems mainstream press did not forget you..it is your chance !
While its always nice to see his picture, it really is a stupid article. They do mention he is on Days currently but say that doesn't count. Then they show other guys who have been on soaps in the past too. Since he's been cut maybe he will get a shot at a real comeback and stayback! Maybe on PLL, hook up w Abby?

For the past three years, the majority of Iraqi citizens were subject to daily personal insecurity, threat to life and destruction of property, seriously impeding their ability to live a decent life. Restoring their confidence in security arrangements is a top priority for regained towns and villages in post-ISIL. The stability of post-ISIL Iraq will depend a great deal on generating a real sense of safety and security among all citizens, individually or as groups, and in all parts of the country. With the end of the major military actions against ISIL, this work has just begun. Additionally, there remain a substantial number of former fighters that fought to liberate areas previously occupied by the insurgency. The fate of these groups and, helping them to reintegrate back to their home communities is also under discussion. Thus within this context there is a recognized requirement for dignified return of communities both in terms of civilians who fled ISIL controlled territories and, former fighters who fought to liberate Iraqi territories from ISIL. This is necessary for Iraq's long-term stability, sustainable development and is intended to prevent the recurrence of further insecurity and conflict.
Peace, stability, accountable governance and respect for rule of law are essential pre- requisites for sustainable development. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development therefore re-affirms that 'sustainable development cannot be realized without peace and security' and Goal 16 is dedicated to fostering peaceful and inclusive societies, the provision of access to justice and, building effective and accountable institutions for all. In outline, improving state security provision together with reasonable delivery of these services to returnee populations and, the rest of Iraq will be a key determiner to sustain country's transition to recovery and stability.
Since 2015 UNDP Rule of Law/Security Sector Reform (RoL/SSR) Programme has established a progressive partnership with the Office of the National Security Advisor (ONSA) and, relevant ministries and, agencies at the highest level to promote and, support a more balanced and complementary approach to security and justice sector transformation in Iraq. Emphasis is in supporting the Government to improve state security and justice provision for better security and stronger public trust in its capacity to maintain security from day-to-day public safety to combating serious crime that would ultimately restore conditions for socio - economic development and, long term stability. Similarly, efforts are also being made to enhance the role of civil society in security sector governance by providing a supporting environment to engage with national policy makers. Overall, the programme of work facilitates an environment of trust and collaboration among national policy makers; between policy makers and Iraqi civil society and; between national policy makers and international partners, to make a meaningful contribution to the development of a Government endorsed and led Security Sector Reform Programme (SSRP).
In parallel UNDP RoL/SSR Programme also plans to undertake a pilot initiative to advance dignified returns of communities and, former fighters to their home communities - i.e. Community Security Integration Pilot (CSIP). The planned pilot initiative recognizes a strong community partnership as the key entry point. In addition to the Government, receiving communities will be a principle partner and, not only a beneficiary. In this regard, they will have a vital role in planning, implementing and, the resultant project outcomes. The community becomes the 'stakeholder' and 'owner' of the process. Government buy- in and local ownership therefore are necessary pre- conditions for the CSIP model. It also rests on the assumption that while national and international support is essential to create the basis for post- ISIL security and development in Iraq, it ultimately comes about as a result of community driven efforts. The overall pilot approach is informed by lessons learned and good practice from UNDP's work in the security sector in Iraq since 2015 and, it will allow to field test a context specific approach to advance security - development nexus in Iraq. All levels, from the central policy to communities, will be incorporated through an integrated bottom-up and top-down approach. The engagement will also align with UNDP's on-going support to Government of Iraq's Security Sector Reform Programme (SSRP) where the primary focus is to provide a safer and secure Iraq to it's citizens and, allow opportunities for their socio- economic development.
UNDP therefore, has identified the requirement to hire a qualified M&E and Documentation Advisor to assist in the implementation of the CSIP initiative where regular M&E and documentation will form an integral part of the overall CSIP engagement. The M&E and Documentation Advisor will under take regular field appraisals, monitoring and documentation of the CSIP initiative in the target location working closely with the CSIP Advisor and, under the overall supervision of the RoL/SSR Programme Manager. They will also work collaboratively with the Programme's Senior SSR Advisor, Chief Technical Advisor (SSR and DRR) and, rest of the programme team.

It's the beginning of another school year, and that means the end of a summer internship for Sterling's interns Michael, Nick, and Sam whose final day was Friday.
Pictured from left to right : Michael, Nick, Sam.
A Sterling internship involves many different roles and responsibilities. Michael, Nick, and Sam, were assigned Researching/Sourcing roles in different recruiting teams under the guidance of a Senior Recruiter. They were each trained in boolean and keyword resume searches and assisted on special projects including database maintenance. "The internship gave me an opportunity to see what the hiring process is like from the employer's perspective," said Nick, a Mechanical Engineering student at Notre Dame. "I got a a lot of insight on what employers look for on resumes, and what makes a candidate stand out." Nick got to see many resumes of engineers during his time here, and was able to see what gets some engineers hired over others. He also made some observations while making outreach calls and had this to say, "Recruiting mechanical engineers and hearing them talk about all of the different fields and expertise gave me an understanding of how people from the same degree can be divided into very distinct groups of workers." His experience at Sterling will help him in 'engineering' his path toward becoming a mechanical engineer.
Through contact with school career centers on behalf of Sterling, Sam, a business student at St. Louis University, has realized the value career fairs can have for him. He is now motivated to research the companies that attend the ones near his school, and to go to them to hopefully have a chance at a business internship for next year.
"It was fun getting their opinions for the selection of new job fair giveaways" noted Alex Kern, from the Sterling Engineering marketing team. Sterling is glad to have been able to help these students see the hiring process and gain some work experience. We wish them all the best on their endeavors!

The Deal for D.C. United Involves "Free Land," Angers Some
By Sarah Cox Apr 24, 2013, 1:49pm EDT
The plans for a new stadium for MLS soccer team D.C. United have been called a "irrational stadium subsidy scheme" by Slate. Uh oh. The issue? The new stadium would benefit from a gift of free land from the city. The site is about 10 blocks and the Slate naysayer thinks the land should be used for housing instead.
If the city's willing to invest in new transportation infrastructure and doesn't think industrial or quasi-industrial uses of this land are important, why not offer up some infrastructure to encourage developers to build some houses?Slate argues that there are only 34 games in a Major League Soccer stadium per year, but the plans have also discussed using the stadium for non-soccer events including college sports and concerts. What's really at stake here seems to be that housing prices are going up and the city isn't doing much to curb that. Is that really soccer's fault? Let us know what you think.

Duke Neurology 2018: A year in review (part 1 of 2)
The Duke Neurology Department grew and advanced at the clinical, research, and educational level in 2018. With the new year less than two weeks away, now is the perfect opportunity to review some highlights of this year, from celebrations of long-time faculty members Janice Massey and Allen Roses to the graduation of our newest class of residents and fellows. Here's a brief summary of just a few of the events that took place in our Department in the first half of 2018.
Duke Today named Rick Bedlack, MD, PhD, as its "Blue Devil of the week." Beth Hatcher spoke with Bedlack about his work treating patients with ALS, researching the disease, his unusually developed fashion sense and how Bedlack was inspired by the long-running "X-files" television show. Read their full interview here.
Our faculty and housestaff contributed to 10 new peer-reviewed journals, advancing our understanding of clinical neurology and basic neuroscience on multiple fronts. Topics of these articles included examining diabetes as a risk factor for stroke, reviewing how habits form at the neuronal level, and a discussion of existing and future treatments for spinal cord injuries. Read a summary of those articles here.
Our Neurology and Women's Health feature debuted, featuring five women of our leading neurologists discuss how conditions such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy and other conditions uniquely affect women a the biological, social, and political levels. Read that series here.
Leonard White, PhD, received the 2018 Duke Medicine Golden Apple Award for Pre-Clinical Science Faculty for the second time. The award, presented during the annual School of Medicine Student-Faculty Show, is the most prestigious teaching award presented by the Duke University School of Medicine student body to recognize physician-teachers that the medical students feel have played an exceptionally effective and dedicated role in their education. Read more.
Current and former members of the Duke Department of Neurology gathered to catch up on old times, enjoy the Southern California weather, and celebrate the career of Janice Massey, MD, at the AAN meeting last week in Los Angeles. About 30 people attended the event, with individuals from Larry Faulkner, MD, head of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, to numerous women and men Massey had mentored over the years expressing their memories of working with her. Read about the celebration here, or read about the more than 20 faculty members, residents and fellows from the Department who directed courses, gave lectures, or presented their findings at the meeting in Los Angeles. Read about their contributions here.
Duke Neurology residents, fellows, postdoctoral researchers, and students discussed their ongoing research over drinks and hors d'oeuvres at the Department's third annual Resident, Fellow, and Postdoc Research poster night. More than 20 posters highlighting advances in clinical, laboratory, and translational neurology. Topics ranged from the potential of using mitochondrial DNA damage as a blood-based biomarker for Parkinson's disease to a case study of the cognitive difficulties faced by one bariatric surgery patient. Read more.
Members of the Duke Neurology Department gathered amidst space capsules, moon rocks, and tornado simulations for the 2018 graduation of the Department's residents and fellows on Saturday. At the Durham Museum of Life and Science, graduating trainees were honored by their former mentors who had become their colleagues. Read about that celebration here.
For Men's Health Month, the Neurology Department launched a new interview series focusing on how neurological conditions such as stroke, ALS, epilepsy, and sleep disorders specifically affected men. Read that series here.
The 2018 Allen Roses Symposium on Alzheimer's Disease honored the legacy of Allen Roses, MD, with cutting-edge updates on Alzheimer's disease research with expert speakers from Duke and other institutions, as well as an unveiling of Roses' official portrait, which hangs in his former home of the Bryan Research Building.

Q: Google Cloud Platform: How to make VM continue calculations after disconnecting from the Internet? I've created VM Instance in Compute Ingeneer with parameters below:
Machine type: custom (8 vCPUs, 32 GB memory)
SSD persistent disk: 100GB
Zone: australia-southeast1-b
System: Ubuntu 18.10 (GNU/Linux 4.18.0-1007-gcp x86_64)

And I need to make huge calculations on it but there comes a problem that every time I am offline it interrupts. CPU activity falls down.
That is strange cuz it is remote server so I need an opportunity to run it without my machine being connected to the internet and see logs and terminal output after connecting again.

A: Run your calculations in screen.
The most likely it's already installed or available to install on your instance.
On Ubuntu you might install it by executing:
sudo apt install screen.


To date, there has been extensive research and writing on the complex relationship between art, culture and society. And these investigations will continue. On the one hand, the role of Cultural Studies at a university of the arts is to actively contribute to the shaping of this knowledge base, and on the other, to productively channel its insights into its teachings. However, first and foremost, this does not imply making a fixed canon of texts available to students, but rather to organise reflection upon the social efficacy of art and culture – following and transcending this canon – in such a manner that the insights gained into artistic production by in-house specialists become a theoretical basis and offer a frame of reference.
