Walls are ubiquitous as cell phone clutching is for anyone under thirty. Almost anything in front of us is a wall. Look up now. Is it the bus front (wall) or the wall in your bedroom? Perhaps you are at a park and there is a wall you are sitting on? Or at a cafe with the table and your back to a wall? Our environs are an assortment of walls following an organization of plats, dictated from land grabbing, defined by our founding fathers and put onto paper to make it official. These ideals gradually swept west by our ancestors.
They define everything. They give meaning to the meaningless nothingness, turning nothingness into a something. They define allowances and privilege, they give us property and make us proprietors. Imagine for a moment how status is obtained – now imagine that same status without land ownership or walls. Imagine it without means of ownership, but more important protection. I think of very few instances where an influential human did not use walls ot their advantage. Gandhi was one who opposed walls and was out in and with the public, not under private protection of walls.
When we are unborn, but growing, we are inside our mothers walls and when we die we are closed off and walled from the world to be laid to rest. Coffin or urn or tomb. Walls walls walls.
I would even mention the appeal of the outdoors is to break free, out in the open with sky, clouds, earth and horizons. But aren't those trees your wall? Aren't those mountains off in the distance your walls?

Brunswick Review The Predictions Issue
A history of a better tomorrow
Partner, Tokyo
Swiss Re relied on big data before the term was invented. Executive Robert Burr talks to the Brunswick Review
When I meet people, I don't say that I work in reinsurance," says Swiss Re's Robert Burr. "I tell them that I work for a company that is predicting tomorrow."
As Head of Client Markets for Swiss Re's Life & Health business in Asia, Mr. Burr does in fact work in reinsurance. But if insurance is complex, reinsurance is more so. So Mr. Burr distills the business of Swiss Re to its essence: It looks ahead to the future. Using its balance sheet as a financial backstop to underwrite risk for the world's largest insurers and governments, Swiss Re forecasts the likelihood of everything from floods and pandemics to future life expectancy. Swiss Re is good, very good, at doing this, as evidenced by 150 years of financial success.
But do not assume that technology has made its mission easier. Proliferating data hasn't narrowed the element of uncertainty in the calculations made to forecast future outcomes. "The world is getting more complex and unpredictable, technology is transforming our world and, in doing so, creating new risks for societies," says Mr. Burr.
He believes that the protection Swiss Re offers extends beyond its clients to society at large. Swiss Re is driven by the objective of "making societies more resilient," he says. From data sources around the world, the company's deep bench of experts in virtually every scientific field formulates models of the future and puts a price tag on risks, helping society to prepare for and manage disasters in advance, he says. When it comes to natural disasters, Swiss Re's work goes beyond calculating the likelihood of future catastrophe based on time-series trends – it involves deep research and insight into the environmental factors behind such events.
One example: The company's researchers have been working with a nature conservancy to study coral reefs' underestimated role in protecting coastal areas against storms and floods. Among the most fundamental projections Swiss Re makes are those that involve the implications of medical and technological advances for human health and longevity – and for insurers. "The risk areas of tomorrow have shifted as medical advances have led to earlier and more accurate diagnosis of critical illnesses like cancer," Mr. Burr says. "We are now seeing a much bigger focus on chronic disease and mental health issues as emerging areas of risk, as our bodies seemingly outlast our brains.
"Thirty percent of children born today can expect to live to 100 and beyond," he adds. "That has major implications for how societies organize themselves and how individuals prepare financially. We should be celebrating that people are living longer but if we don't do what needs to be done to prepare for longevity, in particular how society funds longer lives, then this success could turn into a major disaster."
Swiss Re is also studying emerging risk areas such as cyber risk and autonomous driving. "How do we insure against cyber issues – who is the victim of a cyber crime and what is the value of the thing that they have lost? These are not simple questions.
We have a lot of smart people who run scenarios and try to understand how different outcomes will impact society. Our job is to close societies' protection
gaps – and it is an honorable purpose
Similarly, who should be responsible when a driverless car crashes into a lamppost – the car owner, the manufacturer or the tech provider?
"We have a lot of smart people who run scenarios and try to understand how different outcomes will impact society. Our job is to close societies' protection gaps – and it is an honorable purpose. Our ability to do so is dependent on us understanding these risks, knowing what we don't know," Mr. Burr says.
What stands behind the forecasts and risk calculations that Swiss Re makes is complex and sophisticated. The Swiss Re formula combines research, data, human expertise and a culture of collaboration and intellectualism.
"We have expertise that spans disciplines – from economists to data scientists to actuarial scientists," Mr. Burr says. "We employ Chief Medical Officers in every region to stay on top of disease and medical trends, and we employ some of the leading experts in new areas like autonomous driving and blockchain." In short, he says, "We are a knowledge company."
The research and analysis produced by Swiss Re not only underpins the thinking and calculations of the insurance industry, it has become a go-to source of expertise for media, academics and governments. And that's across a broad range of topics: In the first half of 2018, Swiss Re research touched on subjects ranging from genomics and combustible cladding to cryptocurrency and VR/AR.
"We are often described as being like a university with a balance sheet," says Mr. Burr. Much of the company's thinking happens on the banks of Lake Zurich at the Swiss Re Centre for Global Dialogue – a venue where clients, governments, industry organizations, think tanks and others convene around key risk areas impacting society. "The Swiss Re Institute sees us gather together great minds to discuss items of great importance. Collaboration is very important to us – we are smarter together with our partners than we are alone."
The company's partnerships are diverse. A venture between the Swiss Re Institute and Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies is exploring how extreme weather and other natural catastrophes are evolving in America's Pacific Northwest. A partnership with University of St. Gallen is studying German consumers' insurance-purchasing behavior and a project with the IBM Institute is examining demand for cyber insurance.
Swiss Re also partners with a number of tech startups in Silicon Valley and around the world to leverage technology in solving societal problems.
One result is App in the Air, which provides real-time flight delay insurance. Then there is Cuvva, which offers pay-as-you-go car insurance, and Quilt, which provides renter's insurance to protect tenants from lease expiry or contract breach.
These partnerships with the newest generation of knowledge companies provide an interesting point of comparison.
For Swiss Re, "it is not just about 'innovating at speed.' We take a longer-term and thoughtful approach as we are considering fewer but more strategic and larger topics. We accept that the answers are not instant and may evolve over time, whereas Silicon Valley may have an answer today and a different answer tomorrow. But both are complementary as different questions require different approaches to the application of knowledge. For us, agility is key."
At the heart of how Swiss Re forecasts the future is data – a fact that is far from new for this company. "We could make a strong case for being the world's first 'big data' company, more than a century before the term even existed," says Mr. Burr.
Swiss Re employs more than 1,000 data scientists in places as diverse as Bangalore and Bratislava. Making sense of the proliferating data available to them is key.
"Data on its own is meaningless – it requires intelligent analysis to convert it into knowledge and insight," Mr. Burr says. "We need to be creative with the data. Where we don't have data on a topic or an area of risk, it's about having the skills to think laterally and find where similar data does exist and settling upon a smart way to apply it."
Data and machines are not necessarily reducing the demands on people in Swiss Re's business.
"We keep hearing about how data and technology will replace people and how before long we will all spend our time relaxing on a beach while the machines take care of everything," Mr. Burr says. "Yet at the same time we are all faced with a reality where we are all living busier and busier lives. These two themes are difficult to reconcile."
In an increasingly complex landscape, Swiss Re is unlikely to always be right, but the greater concern is the risk in society that sits uninsured. "Our business is not about whether we get our forecast spot on. We expect to pay out on policies. Our bigger concern is the areas of societal risk that go uninsured, where no calculation is made, and where there is no backstop."
David Ashton is a Director and leads Brunswick Insight in Asia, the firm's research department. He is based in Hong Kong.

What's the Market for Mount Pleasant Homes for Sale?
Wednesday, January 29th, 2014 at 4:24pm.
Mount Pleasant, SC has had one of the strongest performing real estate markets in the tri-county area due to its great public schools, large selection of newer homes for sale in neighborhoods with full amenities, upscale atmosphere, and close proximity to Downtown Charleston and two of the best beaches (Isle of Palms and Sullivan's Island).
Friday, January 24th, 2014 at 3:43pm.
Like most areas around the country, the Charleston real estate market has cycled from a booming sellers' market in 2005 and 2006 to a buyers' market in 2008-2010 and back to a strong sellers' market in 2013. At the Keadle Group, we've been in business since 2002, so we've experienced the full range of activity, helping both buyers and sellers throughout each of the market stages.
Fortunately, Charleston did not suffer the lull in its housing market as much as the rest of the country. In fact, it still ranked well in the down years because of the steady demand from home buyers relocating here. Our local economy and job market have remained relatively strong, which has also helped to shield Charleston over the years.
Tuesday, January 14th, 2014 at 3:41pm.
The mild weather year round in Charleston, SC is a common reason we hear for why home buyers choose to relocate to our city. In this blog, we've included some entertainment options to get outdoors this January.
This annual tradition is the largest oyster festival in the world, with approximately 80,000 pounds of oysters expected for shucking at this year's event! On Sunday, January 26, Boone Hall Plantation in Mt. Pleasant will feature contests, live music, a children's area, and food trucks (with local non-oyster options).

This Tech Makes It Easy To Conserve Water In Your Home
By Desirée Kaplan
Clean water is arguably one of our most precious resources. It's widely known to be one of the key compounds that allow our planet to flourish. While water may seem abundant on earth, clean water is not an infinite resource. Only about three percent of our planet's water is fit for human consumption, but a lot of that is inconveniently tied up in the ground or in the form of ice.
Although we have to be careful with the water we have, that's not always easy to do. This can be particularly challenging in urban areas where millions of people live in multi-tenant buildings, and it is difficult to track water usage for each individual unit. One company, Lōtik, has stepped up and found a way to help people see how much water they're actually using so they can use it more responsibly.
Lōtik created a high tech water monitoring solution that acts like a Fitbit for water pipes. The device collects useful details like flow patterns which can help pinpoint problems like disastrous water damage lurking behind seemingly innocent walls.
Once installed, Lōtik's smart system of wireless sensors gives clear data about when and where water is being used. The app's real-time updates shed light on high water usage, burst pipes and of course those pesky water leaks that can wreak havoc in buildings. Each pipe's "Fitbit" picks up on little details like temperature changes and vibrations that help determine what's really going on behind the scenes.
They also blend seamlessly into most bathrooms. Don't believe me? Try spotting one at first glance in the photos below.
Over time the system starts to learn what's normal for your home and figures out what water patterns are suspect based on the previous usages of those specific pipes. The sensors are able to last about 3 to 5 years since they're only at work when the pipes are being used and water is flowing.
Besides offering useful information, installing this snazzy tech is surprisingly fast and painless. The non-intrusive sensors simply clamp onto pipes and plumbing fixtures. While traditional flow meters can take a while to install, these devices can be up and ready to go in seconds without needing to bother with a plumber or special tools.
Worried about something happening to the sensors? Lōtik already thought of that too. These devices were built to be humidity, water, and tamper proof.
Once up and running, Lōtik's device helps eco-conscious users figure out where they can cut unnecessary water consumption and stop wasting water from problem areas like leaky toilets and faulty pipes. Lōtik's devices also let users meet green building criteria with their in-depth water monitoring tools. Users can minimize their energy consumption by reducing emissions linked to heating water.
Apart from reducing your carbon footprint, this tech can have financial upsides too. Like most valuable resources, clean water comes with a price tag. According to Lōtik's reports, the cost of water has been steadily going up, and water rates are expected to keep rising. Using water more efficiently helps keep that ongoing cost down.
Lōtik's device also helps prevent costly damage before it happens so users can use that money for better things like summer trips to the beach. According to Lōtik, a leaky toilet can cost as much as $7,000 per year. Imagine all the piña coladas you can buy with that.
Lōtik's co-founder, Shane Eten, hopes this technology will help people become more aware of how they use clean water. He tells Green Matters in an interview, "At the end of the day, we're creating transparency so that people understand how they interact with water. Efficiency doesn't happen until someone can actually see it."
Lōtik is continuing to develop its tech and recently launched a campaign on SeedInvest to raise a $6mm Series A round via preferred equity at a $9.5mm pre-money valuation. To learn more about this water savvy technology, catch up on Lōtik and their latest campaign here.

Photographs were the least responsible for my realization that my parents are human, even though the pictures of them in various stages of their separate lives would seem to provide the most evidence for this fact. I had the realization as a kid, and it was a big deal because it meant that, yes, my mom and dad had been children, just like me. Finally, we had something in common. Those photos were to me rare and almost impossible images: Mom in grade school, standing on a small hill outside a white schoolhouse, pouting, wearing a lace bonnet and holding a small, white purse; Dad in a tight-fitting suit, not pouting, but not smiling, either, standing in front of a garage door. Older, they stood on beaches, in parks, grasped hands, let them go, beat up or got beat up by siblings, rode the bus, drove a car, went to prom, graduated from high school, and went to college where they met and thus ended their lives as human beings in the eyes of the children they had. The photographs were mere props to me, planted in drawers for me to find; it was my parents' stories about their childhoods that really made me understand that they're human.
When my mother was 5 years old, one of her brother's friends had a used bike that was her size for sale for five dollars. Her dad said she could buy it if she saved up the money. So she worked and slaved, put a down payment on it, and finally, was able to buy it. She had a "new" bike and couldn't wait to ride it.
Her family lived in a big house that they could get to by going down a dirt path through a field. She walked her new bike down the dirt path—because she didn't have any idea how to ride it. She said that she didn't know where her parents were during this time. She would sit on the bike propped up by a white picket fence, trying to get up the nerve to make it go. Finally, after about a week, she did make it go, and she pedaled like crazy down the road toward another friend's house. Stopping hadn't occurred to her before, but now it was an issue; she just looked for something to hit that was fairly soft. It worked.
That whole summer, she would run the bike into big bushes to stop. When crossing intersections, she remembers praying that no cars would come down the street, and somehow, she survived those first few weeks. One good method she remembers doing was to just wipe out so that she wouldn't hit something really hard. She wanted to ride the bike, but she hated being scared and having to run into things. Sometimes, before she wanted to stop, she would just slow way down and then jump off before it fell over.
She had a lot of bloody knees and noses, and gravel pitted palms, until finally, her mom asked her why she was getting hurt so much when riding her bike. Mom confessed her bike-stopping methods and her mother showed her that you push the pedals backwards to engage the brakes. My mother thought it was a miracle. She still suspects that her brother Lance knew all about how she was her crashing her bike to stop, but didn't tell her how to use the brakes. She says that her parents seemed to feel that their kids would figure everything out if they wanted to badly enough; they didn't hover or offer much advice unless directly asked.
My father, age 10, and his friend Keith Kilmer were riding their bikes back from the woods one day. As they rode past the house where the bad seed kid lived, he came out and blew a bunch of beans at them through a blowgun.
So they went to the mom and pop grocery store right next to their house and bought a bag of navy beans and a cane fishing pole. When they went back home, they cut the cane pole into pieces and it made handy dandy blowguns. Grabbing their bean ammo and weapons, they hopped on their bikes and headed back up the street toward the bad seed's house.
As they rode up the street, there came the bad seed, running at them full blast with his blowgun in his mouth. My father and his friend pedaled their bikes, sporting their blowguns, mouths bulging like crazed chipmunks, and brrrraaaatttt, brrraaaatttt, pttttewwww—a barrage of beans completely pulverized the bad seed.
Later that evening my grandfather called my father into the kitchen. It seems the bad seed had a bean stuck in his ear and had to go to the hospital to have it removed. Crack! and Splinter! went the blowguns and my dad had to endure an hour-long lecture about the riskiness of propelling legumes at bodily orifices. Maybe the lesson should have been about revenge, although I'm not sure that "be careful when you get revenge because you might hurt someone" is at the top of every revenge-getter's list.

What do these metrics mean? [Read More] [Hide]
TotalReturn:
'Total return, when measuring performance, is the actual rate of return of an investment or a pool of investments over a given evaluation period. Total return includes interest, capital gains, dividends and distributions realized over a given period of time. Total return accounts for two categories of return: income including interest paid by fixed-income investments, distributions or dividends and capital appreciation, representing the change in the market price of an asset.'
Using this definition on our asset we see for example:
Looking at the total return, or increase in value of -57.1% in the last 5 years of American Airlines Group, we see it is relatively smaller, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (120.7%)
Compared with SPY (44%) in the period of the last 3 years, the total return of -71.2% is smaller, thus worse.
CAGR:
'The compound annual growth rate isn't a true return rate, but rather a representational figure. It is essentially a number that describes the rate at which an investment would have grown if it had grown the same rate every year and the profits were reinvested at the end of each year. In reality, this sort of performance is unlikely. However, CAGR can be used to smooth returns so that they may be more easily understood when compared to alternative investments.'
Compared with the benchmark SPY (17.2%) in the period of the last 5 years, the annual performance (CAGR) of -15.6% of American Airlines Group is smaller, thus worse.
During the last 3 years, the annual return (CAGR) is -33.9%, which is lower, thus worse than the value of 12.9% from the benchmark.
Volatility:
'Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. Volatility can either be measured by using the standard deviation or variance between returns from that same security or market index. Commonly, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security. In the securities markets, volatility is often associated with big swings in either direction. For example, when the stock market rises and falls more than one percent over a sustained period of time, it is called a 'volatile' market.'
Compared with the benchmark SPY (18.8%) in the period of the last 5 years, the 30 days standard deviation of 56.4% of American Airlines Group is larger, thus worse.
During the last 3 years, the volatility is 67.6%, which is larger, thus worse than the value of 22.8% from the benchmark.
DownVol:
'The downside volatility is similar to the volatility, or standard deviation, but only takes losing/negative periods into account.'
Compared with the benchmark SPY (13.6%) in the period of the last 5 years, the downside volatility of 37% of American Airlines Group is higher, thus worse.
Compared with SPY (16.7%) in the period of the last 3 years, the downside volatility of 43.9% is larger, thus worse.
Sharpe:
'The Sharpe ratio (also known as the Sharpe index, the Sharpe measure, and the reward-to-variability ratio) is a way to examine the performance of an investment by adjusting for its risk. The ratio measures the excess return (or risk premium) per unit of deviation in an investment asset or a trading strategy, typically referred to as risk, named after William F. Sharpe.'
Applying this definition to our asset in some examples:
The Sharpe Ratio over 5 years of American Airlines Group is -0.32, which is smaller, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (0.78) in the same period.
During the last 3 years, the Sharpe Ratio is -0.54, which is lower, thus worse than the value of 0.46 from the benchmark.
Sortino:
'The Sortino ratio measures the risk-adjusted return of an investment asset, portfolio, or strategy. It is a modification of the Sharpe ratio but penalizes only those returns falling below a user-specified target or required rate of return, while the Sharpe ratio penalizes both upside and downside volatility equally. Though both ratios measure an investment's risk-adjusted return, they do so in significantly different ways that will frequently lead to differing conclusions as to the true nature of the investment's return-generating efficiency. The Sortino ratio is used as a way to compare the risk-adjusted performance of programs with differing risk and return profiles. In general, risk-adjusted returns seek to normalize the risk across programs and then see which has the higher return unit per risk.'
Looking at the downside risk / excess return profile of -0.49 in the last 5 years of American Airlines Group, we see it is relatively smaller, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (1.08)
Looking at ratio of annual return and downside deviation in of -0.83 in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively lower, thus worse in comparison to SPY (0.62).
Ulcer:
'The Ulcer Index is a technical indicator that measures downside risk, in terms of both the depth and duration of price declines. The index increases in value as the price moves farther away from a recent high and falls as the price rises to new highs. The indicator is usually calculated over a 14-day period, with the Ulcer Index showing the percentage drawdown a trader can expect from the high over that period. The greater the value of the Ulcer Index, the longer it takes for a stock to get back to the former high.'
Which means for our asset as example:
Looking at the Ulcer Ratio of 43 in the last 5 years of American Airlines Group, we see it is relatively larger, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (5.59 )
During the last 3 years, the Ulcer Ratio is 54 , which is higher, thus worse than the value of 7.15 from the benchmark.
MaxDD:
'Maximum drawdown is defined as the peak-to-trough decline of an investment during a specific period. It is usually quoted as a percentage of the peak value. The maximum drawdown can be calculated based on absolute returns, in order to identify strategies that suffer less during market downturns, such as low-volatility strategies. However, the maximum drawdown can also be calculated based on returns relative to a benchmark index, for identifying strategies that show steady outperformance over time.'
The maximum reduction from previous high over 5 years of American Airlines Group is -84.1 days, which is lower, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (-33.7 days) in the same period.
Compared with SPY (-33.7 days) in the period of the last 3 years, the maximum drop from peak to valley of -84.1 days is smaller, thus worse.
MaxDuration:
'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Max Drawdown Duration is the worst (the maximum/longest) amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs) in days.'
Looking at the maximum days below previous high of 756 days in the last 5 years of American Airlines Group, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (139 days)
Compared with SPY (139 days) in the period of the last 3 years, the maximum days under water of 756 days is higher, thus worse.
AveDuration:
'The Average Drawdown Duration is an extension of the Maximum Drawdown. However, this metric does not explain the drawdown in dollars or percentages, rather in days, weeks, or months. The Avg Drawdown Duration is the average amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs), or in other terms the average of time under water of all drawdowns. So in contrast to the Maximum duration it does not measure only one drawdown event but calculates the average of all.'
Looking at the average time in days below previous high water mark of 256 days in the last 5 years of American Airlines Group, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (33 days)
During the last 3 years, the average days under water is 379 days, which is larger, thus worse than the value of 45 days from the benchmark.

Sinking of the Invincible Spanish Armada & its impact on English colonizing of America - American Minute with Bill Federer
May 22, 2021 • Sinking of Invincible Spanish Armada & its impact on English colonizing of America - American Minute with Bill Federer
When Charles V abdicated in 1556, his son, Philip II became King of the Spanish Empire -- the most powerful empire in the world.
The Philippines were named after him.
In 1554, King Philip II of Spain married England's Queen Mary I, the daughter of Henry VIII by his first wife -- the Spanish Catherine of Aragon.
By virtue of the marriage, Philip considered himself co-monarch of England.
When Queen Mary died in 1558, Philip still wanted to claim the title of King of England.
England instead chose Queen Elizabeth I, the daughter of Henry VIII by Anne Boleyn.
Philip sent a marriage proposal to Elizabeth, but with Spain being Catholic and England being Anglican, she declined.
Philip, nevertheless, continued a peaceful relationship with England.
King Phillip led in organizing the Holy League to stop the Ottoman Turkish Fleet.
Spain funded its military with gold from the New World.
Commanded by Philip's half-brother, Don John of Austria, the Holy League defeated the Ottoman navy in 1571, at the Battle of Lepanto near Corinth, Greece.
Involving over 400 ships, it was the largest naval battle on the Mediterranean Sea since classical antiquity.
Hilaire Belloc described the significance of the battle in The Great Heresies (1938):
"This violent Mohammedan pressure on Christendom from the East made a bid for success by sea as well as by land ...
The last great Turkish organization working now from the conquered capital of Constantinople, proposed to cross the Adriatic, to attack Italy by sea and ultimately to recover all that had been lost in the Western Mediterranean ..."
Belloc continued:
"There was one critical moment when it looked as though the scheme would succeed.
A huge Mohammedan armada fought at the mouth of the Gulf of Corinth against the Christian fleet at Lepanto.
... The Christians won that naval action and the Western Mediterranean was saved.
But it was a very close thing, and the name of Lepanto should remain in the minds of all men with a sense of history as one of the half dozen great names in the history of the Christian world."
The Spanish navy was instrumental in saving Western Civilization from being overrun by the Islamic Ottoman Empire.
Instead of following up on the victory at Lepanto, and freeing all the Mediterranean coasts and islands from Ottoman control, Spain decided to crush the Netherlands' independence movement fueled by the Protestant Reformation in Holland.
In 1572, Spain sent the Iron Duke of Alba to subdue Antwerp and surrounding Dutch cities, killing thousands, in what is called "The Spanish Furies," 1572-1576.
1572 was the same years that the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre took place in Paris, where thousands of Protestants were killed and their bodies were thrown into the Seine River.
The Netherlands' resistant continued to grow, and in 1581, it declared its independence from Spain.
With the Dutch pleading with England for help, Elizabeth I signed the Treaty of Nonsuch in 1585, promising to help the Netherlands.
Philip considered it an act of war.
A rumor spread of an assassination plot on Elizabeth's life, and then replacing here with Mary Queen of Scots, who was of royal lineage.
Though Mary was not responsible for the plot, to remove the threat, Elizabeth reluctantly signed Mary's death warrant and she was executed on February 8, 1587.
Of note, is that Mary Queen of Scots' only son, James, later became King of England.
After the death of Mary Queen of Scots, Philip sent his invincible Spanish Armada to invade England on May 19, 1588.
Consisting of 130 ships with 1,500 brass guns and 1,000 iron guns, carrying 8,000 sailors and 18,000 soldiers, they were planning on picking up another 30,000 more soldiers from the Spanish Netherlands.
Spain's Dunkirk Privateers raided English and Dutch ships.
Queen Elizabeth put on her armor and rallied England with her most famous speech, August 9, 1588:
"Let tyrants fear, I have always so behaved myself, that under God I have placed my chiefest strength and safeguard in the loyal hearts and goodwill of my subjects ...
... I am come amongst you ... resolved, in the midst and heat of battle, to live or die amongst you all -- to lay down for my God, and for my kingdoms, and for my people, my honour and my blood even in the dust.
... I know I have the body of a weak and feeble woman; but I have the heart and stomach of a king -- and of a King of England too,
and think foul scorn that Parma or Spain, or any prince of Europe, should dare to invade the borders of my realm ...
By ... your valour in the field, we shall shortly have a famous victory over those enemies of my God, of my kingdom, and of my people."
Queen Elizabeth relied on privateers, a type of subcontracted pirate who was loyal to the throne:
Sir Francis Drake, a privateer who was captain of the second expedition to circumnavigate the globe 1577-1680;
Sir John Hawkins, second cousin of Francis Drake, a privateer and Treasurer of the English navy, responsible for building the fast ships which were able to successfully repel the Spanish;
Sir Martin Frobisher, privateer and English explorer of Canada; and
Lord Howard of Effingham, Admiral and commander-in-chief of the English fleet against the Spanish Armada.
England's smaller, faster vessels were able to elude the enormous Spanish galleons which attacked at port of Plymouth, England.
After Spain's initial attacks, the English counter-attacked.
The Spanish Armada regrouped on the other side of the English Channel near the French port of Calais.
The fast flyboats of Dutch Admiral Justinus van Nassau captured two Spanish galleons, whose deep-drafts put them at a disadvantage in shallow waters.
With weather getting tempestuous and with no deep water port, the Spanish Armada anchored off the coast in a tightly-packed defensive crescent formation.
At midnight, July 28, 1588, Sir Francis Drake stealthily drifted 8 ships downwind toward the Spanish Armada, then suddenly set them on fire.
With no time to respond, and fearing their sails would go up in flames, Spanish ships immediately cut their anchor ropes and drifted apart.
The next day, English attacked in the Battle of Gravelines, July 29, 1588.
Hurricane force winds and currents drove the fight north toward Scotland.
As the Armada tried sailing on the west side of Scotland and Ireland, intense winds dashed their ships against the rocks.
In all, the Spanish Armada suffered:
56 ships wrecked, sunk or captured,
10 ships scuttled, and
over 20,000 dead from battle, storms and disease.
When King Philip II of Spain learned of the loss, he exclaimed:
"I sent the Armada against men, not God's winds and waves."
A coin minted in Holland in 1588 had engraved on one side Spanish ships sinking and on the other side men kneeling under the inscription
"Man Proposeth, God Disposeth."
In 1596, Philip sent a second Spanish Armada to attack England, consisting of 140 ships and 20,000 men.
Providentially for England, this Second Spanish Armada was shattered in a storm off Cape Finisterre.
Thirty-eight ships sank, nearly 5,000 men died, and the financial loss contributed to the bankruptcy of the Spanish Empire later that year.
Prior to the first Spanish Armada attack, Sir Walter Raleigh had sent settlers in 1584 to settle Roanoke Island, Virginia.
When the attack came, the colony was neglected for several years, with no supplies.
Following the battle, supply ships returned to the Roanoke Colony in 1590, but found it completely abandoned. It was thereafter referred to as "The Lost Colony."
In 1601, Spain tried one last time to conquer the British Isles, this time by King Philip III, the son of Philip II.
Philip III sent a third Armada to the southern shores of Ireland and landed thousands of Spanish troops.
Their intention was to persuade the Irish to join them in attacking England.
The Spanish and Irish were defeated at the Battle of Kinsale in October of 1601.
The victorious Protestant English tragically responded by selling into slavery thousands of Irish Catholics who had sided with Spain.
Of the 1588 defeat of the Invincible Spanish Armada, Woodrow Wilson wrote in History of the American People (1902, Vol. 1, Ch 1):
"For England the end of Spain's power was marked by the destruction of the Armada, and the consequent dashing of all the ambitious schemes that had been put aboard the imposing fleet at Lisbon ...
The great Armada came ...
Spain recognized in the smartly handled craft which beat her clumsy galleons up the Channel the power that would some day drive her from the seas.
Her hopes went to pieces with that proud fleet, before English skill and prowess and pitiless sea-weather."
Describing the English ships, Theodore Roosevelt and Henry Cabot Lodge wrote in Hero Tales From American History (1895):
"The ships ... which ... won glory in the War of 1812 were essentially like those with which Drake and Hawkins and Frobisher had harried the Spanish armadas two centuries and a half earlier.
They were wooden sailing-vessels, carrying many guns mounted in broadside."
Woodrow Wilson continued, giving background details:
"Henry VIII interested himself in improved methods of ship-building; and when he had time to think of it he encouraged instruction in seamanship and navigation; but he built no navy.
He even left the English coasts without adequate police, and suffered his subjects to defend themselves as best they might against the pirates who infested the seas not only, but came once and again to cut vessels out of port in England's own waters.
... Many public ships, it is true, had been built before the Armada came, and fine craft they were; but they were not enough.
There was no real navy in the modern sense. The fleet which chased the Spaniards up the Channel was a volunteer fleet.
Merchants had learned to defend their own cargoes.
They built fighting craft of their own to keep their coasts and harbors free of pirates, and to carry their goods over sea.
... They sought their fortunes as they pleased abroad, the crown annoying them with no inquiry to embarrass their search for Spanish treasure ships, or their trade in pirated linens and silks.
It was this self-helping race of Englishmen ..."
Woodrow Wilson added:
"Devonshire had the great harbor ... where a whole race of venturesome and hardy fishermen were nurtured.
All the great sea names of the Elizabethan age belong to it.
Drake, Hawkins, Raleigh, and the Gilberts were all Devonshire men; and it was from Plymouth that the fleet went out which beat the great Armada on its way to shipwreck in the north."
English dramatist Thomas Kyd wrote the popular play The Spanish Tragedy, sometime before 1592, which is considered by some as the first mature Elizabethan drama, and a primary source for William Shakespeare in his writing of the play Hamlet.
The sinking of the Spanish Armada broke Spain's monopoly of the New World, held since the time of Columbus, and opened up a rush of European countries staking their claim in North America.
Adam Smith wrote in The Wealth of Nations, 1776:
"The Spaniards, by virtue of the first discovery, claimed all America as their own,
and ... such was ... the terror of their name, that the greater part of the other nations of Europe were afraid to establish themselves in any other part of that great continent ...
But ... the defeat ... of their Invincible Armada ... put it out of their power to obstruct any longer the settlements of the other European nations.
In the course of the 17th century ... English, French, Dutch, Danes, and Swedes ... attempted to make some settlements in the new world."
Why was the sinking of the Invincible Spanish Armada significant to America?
Had Spain succeeded in their attempts to conquer England, there may have been:
no Anglican England;
no Puritans wanting to "purify" it;
no Pilgrim separatists fleeing from it;
no New England colonies being settled, and, quite possibly,
no United States of America.

Decided decrease of the number of vehicles transported through the tunnel under the Handle
In according to trimester instead to the passengers and the freight trains are increased
Waiting for knowing if and as the escape of the United Kingdom from the European Union will happen, 31 fixed abandonment initially in order 29th March and therefore postponed to next October and that still it is not sure if will be put into effect with or without an agreement between London and the EU, the Getlink group, that it manages the tunnel under the English Channel, has closed the first semester of this year having recorded a decrease of the number of truck, transported cars and coach from the railway services that cross the tunnel and an increment of the passengers and the number of journeyed freight trains.
In the first half of 2019 through the tunnel trucks (- 4%), 1,14 million car (- 2%) and 27 thousand are transported 810 thousand coach (- 1%), with decreases that have been produced in according to trimester when they are journeyed 370 thousand truck (- 12% on according to trimester 2018), 661 thousand car (- 2%) and 16 thousand coach (- 2%).
In the first six months of this year the passengers transported through the tunnel have been 5,30 million (+2%) and the journeyed freight trains have been 1,166 (+10%), with increments generated mainly in according to trimester when the total has been of 2,90 million passengers (+3%) and 567 freight trains (+17%).
Announcing today the results achieved from the group in the first semester of 2019, Getlink has specified that the performances are influenced by the uncertainties determined from the delay in the performance of the Brexit (Getlink are prepared to a scene without agreement) and from its impact on the economy. Moreover the group has specified that the activity has recorded the effect negative of the decided slow down of the exchanges through the Handle happened in according to trimester and of the blocks of the activity caused from strikes of the happened French customs civil employees to March, April and May.

Red Hat restatement triggers legal attacks
Class-action parade begins after Linux seller tweaks three years of financial results.

At least nine law firms have announced legal actions on behalf of Red Hat investors in the wake of the Linux seller's restatement of three years of financial results.
Red Hat Chief Executive Matthew Szulik and Chief Financial Officer Kevin Thompson "intended to...deceive the investing public regarding Red Hat's business, operations, management, and the intrinsic value of Red Hat's publicly traded securities and enabled defendants to sell 1.9 million shares of their stock for proceeds exceeding $35.6 million," according to one suit, brought by Lerach Coughlin Stoia & Robbins in U.S. District Court in North Carolina. That and at least two other suits allege violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
In a response, Red Hat spokeswoman Leigh Day said, "As with any lawsuit, we are prepared to defend the company," but declined to comment further.
Following a June 16 recommendation from its auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, Red Hat on Tuesday announced a new method for recording revenue from sales of its annual subscriptions to Linux support, its primary money source. Previously, it recorded one-twelfth of an annual subscription each month regardless of when the subscription was sold; afterward it began booking revenue only on the day it was sold.
The result is that although the company received the same amount of revenue, it received much of it a few days or weeks later. The change meant that Red Hat had net income of 7 cents per share for fiscal 2004 instead of 8 cents, and in one quarter, ended Nov. 30, 2002, had a net loss of more than $440,000 instead of net income of $214,000.
Red Hat's stock plunged 23 percent Tuesday after the Raleigh, N.C.-based company announced the change and that the Securities and Exchange Commission had submitted a "comment letter" about Red Hat's annual report.
In other events mentioned in some lawsuits, Thompson on June 14 announced his plan to resign, a move that also sent the company's stock down at the time. Red Hat said the SEC discussion, revenue change and resignation were unrelated events.
Other firms that have filed suits include Goodkind Labaton Rudoff & Sucharow; and Chitwood & Harley. The suits seek class-action status for investors and compensation from Red Hat.
The next phase in the cases likely will be a consolidation of the various suits under a lead plaintiff, said Christopher Keller, lead attorney for Goodkind Labaton's case, followed by a likely amendment to the complaint.

What do I need to Bind with Wire-O?
• Wire-O Punch Machine - Wire punching machines typically come in one of two punching patterns; either a 3:1 pitch (three to one) or a 2:1 pitch (two to one). This indicates how many holes their are per inch, and will correspond with the Wire-O binding spine. Some machines will have both, and the holes are either in a square (most common) or round shape. The 3:1 wire binding machines are meant for thinner book binding, up to 9/16" wires, while the 2:1 are meant for a wider range, including the smaller sizes but also allowing for book binding up to 1 ¼" wires. Wire-O binding machines have several features that can make them a better choice; some key features to look for include disengageable punching pins, a wire hanger, and adjustable side guides. Need help choosing? Call our experts at (866)537-2244 (866)537-2244 for one-on-one help choosing the best wire binding machine for you.
• Wire-O Closer - Often times a wire closer is already included on your punch machine, but if it is not, you will have to buy a separate wire closing machine. These are usually basic machines that are simply set to the wire binding size you are using, and then a handle is pulled to close your binding wire around the pages. It is the final step with wire binding, and machines are available in both manual models and electric models for high volume wire binding.
• Wire-O Binding Spines - Of course you will also need the wire-o binding supplies / binding spines themselves! Make sure to choose the same pitch as the machine you have to ensure compatibility. Many colors are available, as well as sizes to bind up to about a 1 ⅛" thick book (about 260 sheets*).
• Binding Covers - These are optional, but can really make your wire book stand out. My favorite wire binding covers are these hard binding covers that can easily be punched one-at-a-time with most wire punch machines. Other popular covers include these clear acetate glossy front covers and these thick vinyl backings. But there are really a ton of different binding cover choices, and even custom printed covers are an option.
And that's it! That is all you need to make gorgeous wire bound journals, notebooks, presentations, planners, art pads, and so much more!

Clement Moore Is Believed to Have Written "A Visit from St. Nicholas" Decem Perhaps you have read these famous words: "'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse." 'Twas the day before Christmas, Decem the day in that Clement Moore is thought to have composed. St. Bernard is now a small city with a largely working-class population, rather than a bucolic farm community. But Franciscan Father Fred Link, who has been St. Clement's pastor for nine years, says the community of 17 Franciscans living there carries on in the same spirit as their pioneering brothers.
Trustees are targeting St. Agatha, built in , because it's small at students, well under capacity and needs $2 million in repairs, matching its replacement cost. Though long acknowledged as the author of A Visit from St. Nicholas (The Night Before Christmas), author Clement C. Moore's claim to immortality has been questioned by partisans who believe that Henry Livingston, Jr. should be credited for the classic Christmas verse.A careful look at the evidence clearly supports Moore's authorship, and completely discredits the Livingston camp.

Travel-guide
Panama geography is diverse despite the county's relatively small size, making it enjoyable for visitors to enjoy a wide array of activities within a reasonable distance, and cultural richness through the Republic's diversity. Much of the Western half of Panama is composed of rugged, steep mountains of volcanic origin, including Panama´s highest point, Barú Volcano at 11,401 ft (3,475 m) high. Cordillera de Talamanca, a mountain range between Costa Rica and Panama, is among the most well-known ranges, and features the first binational biosphere reserve, as well as several national parks. The upland plains erode into hills and valleys, and form a soft coastal area comprised largely of plains with rolling hills. Both Caribbean and Pacific coasts are lined with lowlands, and there is a number of offshore islands. Panama has 1,550 miles (2,490 km) of coastline.
There are over 1000 islands off the Pacific Coast, 378 islands and cays in the San Blas Archipelago, and another 250+ islands, cays and islets in the Archipelago of Bocas del Toro. Coiba is the largest island in Central America, off of Panama´s Pacific Coast at 503 square kilometers.
Panama generally enjoys two seasons: dry and rainy. The dry season, Panama´s ¨summer,¨ lasts from December to April while the rainy season (winter) takes place the remaining portion of the year. Summer entails hot sunny days with mostly blue skies, cool nighttime breezes, and starlit skies. Winter mostly means warm days with hazy skies and short, refreshing bursts of afternoon downpours and/or thunderstorms. Temperatures and conditions vary according to the region. The Azuero Peninsula, for example, is a large peninsula in Southern Panama that has a unique less humid climate with little rainfall, nicknamed Arco Seco, ¨Dry Arch.¨ It features a dry rainforest on the West Coast and a long dry season. A man-made desert lies in the Northeastern portion of the peninsula, called the Sarigua desert, formed from the constant grazing and cultivation of the land for thousands of years.
The Republic has dense vegetation, marked with rainforests and mangrove swamp lands, and supported by a generally tropical climate with abundant rainfall. Between Panama and Colombia, the Eastern part of the country, lies the Darién Gap, the largest rainforest in the Western Hemisphere outside the Amazon Basin, 160 km (99 mi) long and about 50 km (31 mi) wide. This nearly impenetrable jungle creates a break in the Pan-American highway, the otherwise complete road extending from Alaska to Patagonia.
Almost 500 rivers flow across the length of Panama, with Rio Chagres and Rio Chepo being the two most well-known, and the Chucunaque River being the longest situated in Darien. Sitting in an estuary in Panama, where a freshwater river or stream meets the ocean, is definitely a unique experience of nature that one can easily enjoy.

 How Does 'Contingency' Work In An Injury Case in Ft Lauderdale?
Home » How Does Contingency Work in an Injury Case?
Although Ft Lauderdale personal injury attorneys often require a cost deposit or retainer before agreeing to take on a case, there is a contingency process often utilized for such cases in Broward County, Florida.
In a contingency case, instead of collecting these fees ahead of time, Fort Lauderdale personal injury lawyers may collect them after the case is over by a percentage of whatever the potential final payout results are. (The initial percentage and final payout amount do not include appeal cases or retrials).
While some injury law attorneys may agree to collect nothing if they do not win the case, if this agreement is not in writing, the client will still be held accountable for the kinds of fees mentioned above. These costs will be placed in a trust account.
Before signing a contract for a contingency case, make sure to validate exactly what will be owed by the end of the trial. Some personal injury attorneys may take the overhead and cost deposits out of the recovery amount, which would include the costs of court filings and witness expenses.
The injury and accident lawyers at Krupnick Campbell Malone Buser Slama Hancock will carefully explain all of your post-victory or post-settlement fees beforehand so there are no surprises later. Our attorneys handle cases throughout Broward County, including Hollywood.
