Find Finnian
Did anyone ever tell you about Mary Ellen? She was the call floor supervisor back when I started here. She was this tiny lady, middle-aged, probably forty, but she walked like she was older, always hunched over and talking about how bad her knees hurt. She was always dressed in these real proper suits, the kind that have those huge shoulder pads in them—people who've been here since the start say she just never changed her wardrobe from the 80's. She used to hover over our shoulders during calls, and if she heard you lose a sale she'd drag you aside and correct your technique by telling you all the things you should have done to keep them on the line. She came in early every morning and used to sit right there by the time-clock. If you came in even a minute late she'd give you a big lecture about how ashamed you should be for wasting the company's money. She asked me once if I was proud of what my tardiness said about me. Can you believe that shit?
One time this guy Jeff came back from lunch five minutes late, and she walked right up to him at his station and asked for his time-card. Jeff didn't know what was going on, so he gave it to her, and she tore it up right in front of him and told him he was fired.
She was always listening in to our conversations, too. You couldn't go anywhere in the office without her nosing around, and if she overheard you talking about her she'd pout for the rest of the day. One time I got called into her office because she'd heard me call her fat and she started crying and telling me how she'd always treated me with respect and how 'deeply hurt' she was, and blah, blah, blah.
We used to have this contest called Find Finnian. It was like that kid's book, you know, with that little guy in the blue and white shirt, with the big, goofy ears and sunglasses, and you're supposed to find him in these crazy pictures? I was never any good at it when I was little—I spent more time looking for all the dirty jokes that the other kids at school had said they'd found. Sure enough, man, there's a few tits in there, if you look hard enough.
So the guy that owns the building had a Finnian doll, and every year he'd hide it somewhere in one of the offices, and whoever found it got a gift—usually something lame like a Starbucks card—and their entire office would get a catered lunch. He'd do this every day of the week before Christmas. They emailed clues to everyone, and made it sound like they written by Finnian himself, like if the note said, 'oh, it sure is cold up here', then you'd find the doll taped to the air conditioning. Stupid shit like that.
My first year here I got really into it. A bunch of us would sit down and try to figure out the clues. Usually it was pretty easy, but sometimes they were so hard they'd end up sending another clue in the afternoon, because no one had figured it out yet.
But it seemed like every time we figured it out and tracked him down someone from Majestic Realty would already be there ahead of us. They were real obnoxious about it too—jumping up and down and high-fiving and carrying on. So after a few years I quit playing.
Mary Ellen, of course, always hated the game, because we'd spend hours—sometimes most of the day—trying to figure out those clues, but Alan, the big boss, he really got a kick out of it. If he was in the office he'd sit down and try to help us. So she couldn't do anything to stop us, but that didn't stop her from giving us all the look of death every time we went chasing after Finnian.
Then about three years ago Mary Ellen started looking real rough, and nobody knew why. She stopped wearing those suits, and a lot of the time she'd come in wearing whatever she'd been in the day before. Deep circles appeared under her eyes, and I don't know how to describe it exactly, but she looked spooky. At lunch she'd just sit at a table alone and stare off into space, and if you were in her line of view it didn't matter, she'd just keep staring past you.
So Christmas is coming, and she gets super involved with Find Finnian. A week before the contest even started she called a staff meeting about our strategy to win. She kept talking about teamwork and how much we meant to her. She split us up into search parties so that we could track him down faster. The whole meeting she had this strange smile on her face—it was like her mouth was smiling as big as it could go, but her eyes weren't. Creepy. Real creepy.
But it worked—the first day of the contest she finds Finnian herself. You would have thought she'd won the Mega Millions. So we all thought she'd relax after that, but it just got worse.
As soon as the clue came in the next morning she called us all into her office and kept us there for a full hour trying to figure it out, but while we were in there we got an email that Majestic had already found it. She was pissed. She started calling Majestic all these names—we'd never even heard her swear before, but she was really laying into them. We lost again on Wednesday and Thursday. After we lost the contest on Thursday she locked herself in her office. We could hear her throwing shit against the walls and crying. At this point, we're all just waiting for her to snap and making jokes about wearing bullet-proof vests into the office on Friday.
So Friday morning comes, and she's not talking to anybody, like we're the problem. Her hair was all jacked up like she hadn't bothered to comb it, and she smelled like she'd been running a marathon all night. I mean you could smell her from across the room.
So we get the clue, and we're all waiting to get called into her office, but she didn't say anything. Her door was open and we could see her pacing the floor and smacking her head. Then, after about fifteen minutes of that, she runs out of the office and we hear her screaming in the hallway. So all of us, I mean the entire call floor, run out to see what the hell is happening. We found her holding onto one arm of that stupid Finnian doll, playing tug-of-war with some chick from Majestic.
So they're going back and forth, and a few of us are trying to calm her down, and the building owner's just staring at her, wondering who this madwoman is, and then Mary Ellen throws her head back and screams. I mean this was one of those bottom-of-your-soul horror movie screams. They heard it all the way up on the fourth floor. The scream scared the piss out of the girl from Majestic, so she drops her end of the doll. Mary Ellen just collapses on the floor, cradling this doll like it's a baby or something. She just sat there on the floor hugging that doll and moaning for an hour before Alan came to drive her home.
And that was it. We never saw Mary Ellen again. Some people said she got fired, some people said she quit, but no one really cared why she was gone. We were all just glad we didn't have to deal with her anymore. Davy told me he saw her name in the obituaries about a year later, but Davy's full of shit, and no one else ever saw it. If anything had happened to her, Alan probably would have told us about it so, whatever, she's probably not dead.
What? Hell, who knows? Steve said something had happened to her husband, but no one could remember for sure if she was married or not. Later someone said that her son died. Rumors around here, you know? Everyone's got a story, but no one ever gets it right. Lord only knows what they'll say about me after I'm gone.

Second Corinthians is one of the four letters of Paul known as the Hauptbriefe , which are universally accepted to contain authentic Pauline correspondence. Werner Georg Kummel would like to view the letter to be a whole composed by the apostle Paul on one occasion Introduction to the New Testament , pp. However, there are difficulties that have suggested to several commentators that 2 Corinthians has been compiled from several pieces of correspondence. Since the "sorrowful letter" mentioned in does not describe 1 Corinthians, we know that Paul had written at least three letters to the Corinthians. A quite reasonable suggestion is that the last four chapters contain the "sorrowful letter" that is mentioned in Other evidence bears out this view. Edgar J.
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness? As a youth pastor this was a pretty common verse I pulled out of my repertoire. The logic was pretty sound. We should not be dating except for the purpose of marriage.

The Church at Corinth had great potential, but its history was marked by dissension, confusion in theology, distortions in worship, and apathy in moral concerns. Therefore, it is a letter of extreme relevance for churches in our day and age. This is a unique letter with a writing style that is very personal, bold, at times sarcastic, and very defensive. It shares the concern, passion, intimate feelings and thoughts of an apostle who is defending his own apostleship and ministry in a church which he founded.
Even a casual reading gives the impression of a man who is on his feet fighting a battle with his feelings and personal biases clearly involved. It reads almost like a man who expresses freely his feelings about himself and his ministry in a journal.
What does the Bible say about? So flee youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart. Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness?
Do not be unequally yoked with unbelievers. For what partnership has righteousness with lawlessness? Or what fellowship has light with darkness?
The Letters of First and Second Corinthians There is scholarly consensus that the letters of 1 and 2 Corinthians were written by Paul during his third missionary journey, which encompassed the years A. There is sufficient biographical information in both the letters to the Corinthians and in the book of Acts to allow these letters to be dated very accurately. The sequence of events is described below: Paul visits Corinth for the first time and establishes a church there Acts Among his converts were Sosthenes, who is listed as a co-author of 1 Corinthians 1 Cor Paul travels to Ephesus, where he stays for three years.
It is here that he writes his first letter to the Corinthians, however, this letter is not our canonical First Corinthians, it is called "the previous letter" 1 Cor

Many verses of Scripture are used as "proof texts," quoted as the confirmation of some doctrine or opinion without much attention to what the verse might mean in its own context or what the background of the idea might be from a cultural or historical perspective. For example, many Christians quote 2 Corinthians as the biblical command that Christians should not date or marry non-Christians.

These fellow workers can be found not only in other Pauline Epistles, but also in the historical narrative, the Book of Acts. Recipients The city of Corinth is mentioned for the first time in the Book of Acts chapter Though Gentiles were reached on previous missionary endeavors, it is here that Paul seems to truly becomes The Apostle to the Gentiles.
Corinth was a metropolitan city and center of commerce with influences from throughout the known ancient world. Additionally, it was the city where the temple of Aphrodite with its temple prostitutes was located.
Beginning the Journey for new Christians. Ralph F. The ancient city of Corinth showed signs of human habitation as far back as the Early Neolithic period.
2 Corinthians is made up of two different letters. One reason for this interest is that the letters were writ- ten at an early date; therefore, they throw considerable.
There was never much talk or teaching around understanding how the gospel shapes our view of dating. I am certain that the question growing up for me was never asked, how the gospel shape my view of dating. How does the gospel shape our view of dating? Here are three forces at work in shaping our view. Our culture shapes our view on dating and relationships.
Passion, lust, and selfishness rule in many lives. Even after getting control in these areas, one will still from time to time have to deal with them. The roots of those battles are connected to idols in our lives. Do you look to a relationship or a person and say only they make me feel valuable? Do you think when I have a relationship then I will be okay?
Remember Me. Even Christians that read their Bibles regularly probably could not tell you when any of the Epistles of Paul were written with any more accuracy than "some time in the middle of the 1 st Century. That ignorance did not prevent me from understanding and being blessed by what I read! Why then should I now worry at all about the precise dates the Epistles were written?
I have come to realize that to thoroughly understand any of the Bible, you have to be able to understand the precise historical background in the mind of the writer and the recipients. If this reason is true for the rest of the Bible, it is particulary true for 2 Corinthians, an epistle of Paul , that I will show, has been incorrectly dated for at least years, by every commentator I could find!
Few pieces of correspondence by Paul have attracted so much controversial comment as has 2 Corinthians. Why does Paul seem oblivious to important.
When the New Testament was written is a significant issue, as one assembles the overall argument for Christianity. Confidence in the historical accuracy of these documents depends partly on whether they were written by eyewitnesses and contemporaries to the events described, as the Bible claims. Negative critical scholars strengthen their own views as they separate the actual events from the writings by as much time as possible.
For this reason radical scholars argue for late first century, and if possible second century, dates for the autographs [original manuscripts]. By these dates they argue that the New Testament documents, especially the Gospels, contain mythology. The writers created the events contained, rather than reported them. The Gospel of Luke was written by the same author as the Acts of the Apostles, who refers to Luke as the 'former account' of 'all that Jesus began to do and teach' Acts The destiny 'Theophilus' , style, and vocabulary of the two books betray a common author.
Roman historian Colin Hemer has provided powerful evidence that Acts was written between AD 60 and This evidence includes these observations:. There is no mention in Acts of the crucial event of the fall of Jerusalem in There is no hint of the outbreak of the Jewish War in 66 or of serious deterioration of relations between Romans and Jews before that time.
The epistle is attributed to Paul the Apostle and a co-author named Timothy , and is addressed to the church in Corinth and Christians in the surrounding province of Achaea , in modern-day Greece. While there is little doubt among scholars that Paul is the author, there is discussion over whether the Epistle was originally one letter or composed from two or more of Paul's letters. Although the New Testament contains only two letters to the Corinthian church, the evidence from the letters themselves is that he wrote at least four and the church replied at least once:.
The abrupt change of tone from being previously harmonious to bitterly reproachful in 2 Corinthians 10—13 has led many to speculate that chapters 10—13 form part of the "letter of tears" which were in some way tagged on to Paul's main letter. The seemingly sudden change of subject from chapter 7 to chapters 8—9 leads some scholars to conclude that chapters 8—9 were originally a separate letter, and some even consider the two chapters to have originally been distinct themselves.
Other scholars dispute this claim, however.
Growing up, the topic of dating, as a follower of Jesus, was always "do this not this". There was never much talk or teaching around understanding how the.
That the Apostle Paul wrote 2 Corinthians is uncontested; the lack of any motive for a forger to write this highly personal, biographical epistle has led even the most critical scholars to affirm Paul as its author. Several considerations establish a feasible date for the writing of this letter. Extrabiblical sources indicate that July, A. Acts Leaving Corinth probably in A. Returning to Ephesus on his third missionary journey probably in A. The apostle wrote 1 Corinthians from Ephesus toward the close of that period 1 Cor.
Since Paul planned to stay in Ephesus until the following spring cf.

On Monday, May 14, Matignon held its fourth annual Tradition of Excellence Gala. Thank you to all who made the evening a success! A sincere thank you to all supporters and donors. Your support helps make a Matignon High School education accessible to our students and their families.
The Tradition of Excellence Gala is a wonderful evening that brings together alumni, parents, students, and friends to reconnect and celebrate all of the fond memories and lifelong values instilled at Matignon High School. This year, Matignon had the opportunity to honor three significant members of the Matignon community.
Cardinal Cushing
Community Service Award
Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley, OFM, CAP.
Green & Gold
Legacy Award
The late Corporal Donald Curtin '62
Distinguished Alumna Award
John Griffin, Jr. '61
Read more about our honorees here:
Green and Gold Legacy Award
For seventy years, Matignon High School has served the families of our region, providing an exceptional Catholic, college preparatory education. Our graduates have gone on to exceptional careers in business, government, health care, athletics, service to our Church, and virtually every other profession. While doing so, many of our graduates have created lasting legacies, leading by example and paving the way for future students to become women and men of exceptional character.
This year's recipient of the Green and Gold Legacy Award is a man of character, valor, and concern for those who came into his life. The late Corporal Donald Curtin '62, USA often put others first, especially during his tour in Vietnam, where he gave his life serving our country and working for a better world.
As a student at Matignon High School, Donnie had such an impact on all those around him that he is still fondly remembered by so many today. In 2014, family, friends, and classmates of Donnie gathered in Somerville for the dedication of a memorial stone at the baseball field named in his memory. All those present remembered Donnie for his athletic achievements, noting "he competed aggressively, successfully, and with character, which contributed in no small measure to Donnie being a special young gentleman beloved by all." And it is with those humbling traits in mind that we present Donnie with the Green and Gold Legacy Award for the example he has set for all the students who come through Matignon's doors.
Cardinal Cushing Community Service Award
The history of Matignon High School has as one of its founding principles that of service to others. As the first Central Catholic High School in the Archdiocese of Boston, named after one of the first priests to serve the Catholic faithful of Boston and New England, Cardinal Cushing founded the school on the principle that all associated with the school be so imbued with Father Matignon's "ideals of service that no cry of human need, no syllable of spiritual striving will ever fall unheeded on their ears."
This ideal of service is epitomized in tonight's recipient of the Cardinal Cushing Community Service Award, Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley, OFM, CAP.
Matignon High School's alumni have a strong history of success in finding their path and carving out special niches in the world. The characteristics of a Matignon graduate have long shadowed the characteristics that made Fr. Francis Matignon a committed and dedicated priest: Good Conduct, Capacities, Fidelity, and Community. The students who have walked through our halls would undoubtedly make Fr. Matignon proud, fulfilling his vision of Catholic education in Boston.
It is our humble honor to present this year, our Distinguished Alumnus Award to John Griffin, Jr. '61. Born in Somerville, raised in Winchester, Matignon was in John's blood from the beginning. After a successful four years in that idyllic neighborhood of North Cambridge, John went on to study first at Boston College and then at Harvard Law School, noting often that "he went to high school and law school on the same street." John celebrates a successful career in law, currently serving at Greenberg Traurig, and has specialized in real estate, development, and education to name a few. He has successfully argued before the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts and has continuously been listed in The Best Lawyers of America.
Outside of law, John has also distinguished himself in service to his community, his alma maters, and his Church. John is a past president of the BC Alumni Association and past board chair of both Catholic Charities of Boston and Jamaica Plain Neighborhood House where he has lived for nearly 50 years, raising 3 children with his wife Mary Margaret. They also have 4 incredible grandchildren. John is closing in on two decades as a member of the Matignon High School Board of Trustees, where John's commitment to our school has played a major part in the success we celebrate today. We are blessed to honor John as this year's Distinguished Alumnus.

Advocacy groups push Pentagon for DADT update
By Meredith Bennett-Smith on March 26, 2011 at 4:22 pm
Organizations representing gay and lesbian service members and veterans met with Pentagon officials last week to receive a status update on the repeal process of Don't Ask, Don't Tell.
Several advocacy groups including the Human Rights Campaign, Servicemembers Legal Defense Network and American Veterans for Equal Rights (AVER) expressed concerns related to the repeal
.
According to The Advocate, the repeal does not solve several problems such as benefits for same-sex partners of gay service members, the insufficiency of existing channels for reporting antigay harassment and a mechanism to allow those removed from the armed forces under DADT to reclassify their discharge.
So far, the Pentagon has yet to release a public statement on the meeting.

Denny Meyer, AVER's Public Affairs Officer, said the fact that Pentagon officials were willing to meet is an important step.
"Some answers were given, but not necessarily the answers we wanted to hear," he said. "Concerns were raised — they were not resolved — but they were raised very directly."
The military's policy will remain in effect until U.S. President Barack Obama, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates and the Joint Chiefs of Staff certify that the armed services are prepared to implement the final repeal, followed in turn by a 60-day waiting period.
The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA), passed by the U.S. Congress in 1996, continues to be a sticking point for the advocacy groups. Spousal benefits for same-sex couples are not included in the repeal's language.
"The military really is trying as hard as they can," Meyer said. "Even though they aren't being thrown a bone. That's the big stumbling block. We're still being held back by these discriminatory laws."
Officials were also pressed to create a more efficient and less intimidating channel for gay service members to report abuse.

Financiers face a more global regulatory compliance regime
by Alexandra Cain | 14 May 2019
While financial services businesses are already working through a swathe of new global regulations including Basel 3 and MiFID 2, experts says the end of the LIBOR benchmarking tool is what is really keeping them awake at night.
Moreover, this is taking place at a time when national financial markets regulators are starting to take a more parochial view of the world.
"Global regulators are being less cooperative with each other," says Deloitte risk advisory partner Mike Ritchie.
"Basel 1, 2 and 3 was about establishing a global set of regulatory standards. But regulators have become more nationalistic."
Turning to specific regulations, there's an expectation final Australian prudential standards related to Basel 3 will be ready around January 2020.
"Much of this has already been telegraphed and banks are not expecting any surprises and are already building thought processes around those. But the change around the interbank rates and benchmarks does stand out," says Ritchie.
"There's uncertainty as to how that's going to play out, which creates a challenge, given it's such a fundamental part of how financial products are priced."
The UK Financial Conduct Authority that oversees the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) will phase it out by the end of 2021.
Libor is the interest rate banks in the UK and elsewhere use as the basis for lending between themselves, typically adding a spread above the LIBOR rate to arrive at the final interest rate on which they will lend money.
Ritchie says banks are starting to develop a view of what a post-LIBOR world may look like, keeping an eye on developments in Japan, the US and UK, countries that are introducing different benchmark options.
"But there's no firm date when companies must comply with these developments. So financial services firms have to work out how they're going to address this and develop a blueprint," he says.
Richie notes all this regulatory change is happening at a time when banks are focused on generating efficiencies and not spending.
Also, in the past there may have been a degree of inertia when new global regulations were introduced. But banks can't afford to take a watching brief when it comes to LIBOR.
"It is too fundamental to the way they price and manage their products. So they need to be starting to think about how exposed they are, where the exposures are, what their options are and what they can do about it," Ritchie advises.
In contrast, Ritchie says financial services businesses are already well across initiatives such as MiFID2 – which unbundles research and brokerage within investment banks – as well as Basel 3 and even Basel 4.
MiFID2 has extra-territorial powers, which means they apply to Australian firms with customers and operations in the EU. The Basel regulations ensure banks carry enough capital to cover the risks, obligations and liabilities to which they are exposed.
Another key global regulation is the European Union's (EU's) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR),which gives consumers more rights about the data institutions, including financial services businesses, hold on them. Like MiFID2, this law also transcends national borders.
"Data privacy is very well understood by financial institutions and built into their business plans already. There may be a level of uncertainty about how everything is going to land, but they factored this into their thinking some time ago," Ritchie explains.
As ever, global regulations are a moving feast for financial institutions. It's essential for banks and others to ensure they are always across existing and emerging regulations to ensure the remain compliant here and around the world.

RALEIGH, NC – Tonight, in a victory for gun violence prevention, the North Carolina House of Representatives voted to stop an attempt to repeal background checks for handgun buyers by removing the provision from HB 562. Although debate on other amendments continues, the North Carolina chapter of Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, part of Everytown for Gun Safety, released the following statements commending the North Carolina House for protecting background checks on all handgun sales, which stop felons, domestic abusers, and other dangerous people from getting armed – even when they buy from unlicensed sellers online or at gun shows.
Last month, Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund aired ads statewide highlighting the broad consensus among North Carolinians against HB 562. The ad featured recently released polling paid for by Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund showing that 87 percent of North Carolinians support background checks on all handgun sales and a letter from the North Carolina Sheriffs' Association urging the Legislature not to repeal the state's background check law. The bill would have allowed felons, domestic abusers, and other people prohibited from having guns to buy handguns from unlicensed sellers online or at gun shows, with no background check and no questions asked. When Missouri made this same mistake in 2007, gun homicides in that state spiked by 25 percent.
In addition, Everytown and North Carolina Moms have rallied at the General Assembly to underscore the importance of keeping North Carolina's background check requirement for handgun purchases in place. The rally brought together moms, mayors, gun violence survivors and legislators who voiced opposition to HB 562 for its potentially devastating impact on North Carolina public safety.
North Carolina is one of 18 states (plus the District of Columbia) that requires background checks not just for sales by licensed gun dealers, but also for handgun buyers that buy from unlicensed sellers. The provision of HB 562 that was amended sought to remove North Carolina from that group, moving the state backwards.

Current: Trust Planning in Asia
Trust Planning in Asia
Mary Ellen Hutton, Partner, and Philip Munro, Associate, Withers, Hong Kong
Mary Ellen Hutton and Philip Munro delineate why they believe trust planning will become an increasingly important tool for wealth protection as Asian jurisdictions continue their ascent up the ranks of international finance centres.
Shari'a Trusts: Lessons from t…
If the primary rationale for the creation of trusts is their utility as vehicles for the devolution of family and commercial wealth, then trust planning in Asia should be becoming increasingly important with the ascent of Asia as a centre of global wealth. China and Japan represent two of the world's largest four economies, the former alone now having an estimated 450,000 USD millionaires; India and Indonesia are also significant markets with wealth heavily concentrated in a developing class of globally wealthy entrepreneurs. While the growing concentration of private wealth in Asia might naturally lead to trust planning in any event, the strong desire to retain assets in family hands, found in many Asian cultures, makes the trust concept one that ideally suits many Asian families.
Trusts are a feature of the jurisprudence of a number of Asian jurisdictions, although in some countries their usage is more in the commercial, rather than the family, context. In this overview, we consider the trust laws in a number of Asian jurisdictions, showing that across Asia the full range of trust laws can be found.
Hong Kong and Singapore
Notwithstanding the return of Hong Kong to Chinese sovereignty, Hong Kong law remains, in large part, based upon English law. The Hong Kong trust law is contained in the Trustee Ordinance, Chapter 29 of the Laws of Hong Kong. This 1934 statute (which was amended to modernise the previous common law rule against perpetuities in 1970 by the Perpetuities and Accumulations Ordinance) is based on the English Trustee Act 1925 (a statute now largely superseded in England by the Trustee Act 2000).
Trust planning by Hong Kong residents used to be widespread as a way of mitigating estate duty exposure. Hong Kong estate duty was a progressive tax that rose to a top rate of 18 per cent. Although estate duty was abolished with effect during February 2006 (as part of an effort to make Hong Kong a more attractive private asset management centre), many trusts created as part of estate duty planning persist and Hong Kong trusts are still created for succession planning purposes.
In practice, many Hong Kong residents using trusts for succession planning purposes do not choose to settle trusts governed by Hong Kong law, it being perceived as a proper law more restrictive than that found in other trust jurisdictions. In response to this trend, a consultation on the reform and modernisation of the current Hong Kong trust law was conducted during 2009, with a view to legislative amendments to the Trustee Ordinance being enacted in 2010 or 2011. The consultation has been wide ranging, considering questions such as whether the rule against perpetuities should be abolished, the introduction of a statutory trustee duty of care and the merits of allowing for non-charitable purpose trusts.
Like Hong Kong, Singapore's legal system was established while it was a United Kingdom territory. The Singapore trust law was, however, updated in December 2004 such that it now contains features found in the modern trust laws of some traditional offshore jurisdictions. For example, the Singapore Trustees Act expressly provides that a trust governed by Singapore law with Singaporean trustees is valid notwithstanding that the disposition creating the trust may be contrary to forced heirship rules to which the settlor was subject under their personal law, while s.90 of the Act expressly provides that settlor reserved investment and asset management powers will not invalidate a Singaporean trust. Singapore has no capital gains tax nor estate duty and the Singapore income tax regime is applied on a territorial basis such that it is an attractive fiscal jurisdiction for offshore trust planning.
The concept of the 'trust' entered Indian law during British rule with Indian domestic trust law contained in the Indian Trusts Act 1882: the 1882 Act applies, prima facie, to all trusts executed or situated in India and whose settlor, trustees and beneficiaries are domiciled in India. It is understood, however, that, as a matter of Indian law, the proper law of a trust can be chosen by the settlor either expressly or by implication.
The Indian trust law expressly prescribes four essential requisites for the creation of any trust: the existence of the creator of a trust (i.e. there must be a settlor); a beneficiary for whose benefit the trust exists; trust property; and, divestment of ownership between settlor and trustee. It includes the rule against remoteness of vesting such that, broadly, a trust cannot exist for longer than a life in being plus 21 years. There are also bars against excessive accumulations of income: broadly, income cannot be accumulated for more than 21 years or the settlor's life in being.
In creating trusts for Indians, it should be noted that, although the concept of forced heirship is rare in India, it can apply to 'ancestral' and 'coparcenary' property (property inherited by a Hindu through his paternal line). Succession to coparcency property is governed by a specific personal law. The Indian exchange control position also needs to be considered in the international context. Where a trust has non-resident beneficiaries but holds Indian property, it may be possible for the beneficiaries to open non-resident ordinary accounts under the Foreign Exchange Management (Deposits) Regulations 2000 to receive distributions.
People's Republic of China (PRC)
The PRC's legal system is based on civil law concepts and, until recently, it contained no trust law features. The PRC created its Trust Law, however, in April 2001, bringing a form of trust concept into the PRC legal system.
As the PRC Trust Law stands, it expressly provides that a 'trust' is an arrangement whereby a settlor entrusts property to a trustee who has powers to manage or dispose of such property for the benefit of a beneficiary or for a specific objective. It is understood that to validly form a trust under the PRC Trust Law, property must actually be transferred to the trustee. The law requires that trust property is kept apart from the trustee's own property.
A PRC trust must be created in writing with enforcement against the trustee being, in essence, a contractual matter (at least as between the trustee and the settlor). That said, the Trust Law specifically provides in Article 25 that a duty of skill and care is owed by the trustees to the beneficiaries of the Trust.
One of the weaknesses with the PRC Trust Law is that no specific tax regulations deal with the PRC tax treatment of trusts. Further, within the PRC, there is no significant wealth management or private client tax planning industry. Where PRC nationals do look to trust plan, they have tended to seek advice outside China with the effect that the Trust Law is practically only relevant in the context of trusts in the Chinese commercial, rather than the family, context.
Japan has a trust law that was enacted in 1922 following the Meiji period during which many Western legal concepts were introduced into the Japanese legal system. Trusts are, however, primarily used in the commercial context as vehicles to facilitate co-investment (as of March 2005 YEN60 trillion was held in Japanese investment trusts), for operating pension schemes and for employee benefit purposes. Although trusts are not used frequently in the traditional family trust form, 'special donation trusts' are sometimes created. These trusts can be created to benefit the mentally and physically disabled with there being an exemption from Japanese gift tax on their creation.
Asia has some offshore financial centres that look purely to attract international business, an example being Labuan.
Labuan is a Federal Territory of Malaysia which was, in 1990, declared an international offshore financial centre and a free trade zone. Since its inception, Labuan has incorporated more than 6,500 offshore companies and has attracted more than 300 licensed financial institutions.
Trusts can be created in Labuan under the Labuan Offshore Trusts Act 1996 which came into force on 31 October 1996. A trust cannot be created under the 1996 Act by a citizen or permanent resident of Malaysia nor can such a trust own real property in Malaysia or have Malaysian beneficiaries. At least one of the trustees of a Labuan trust must be a company registered under the Labuan Trust Companies Act 1990 to carry on business as a trust company.
Labuan has recently amended its trust law (the amendments to be brought into force this calendar year) to include features such as:
statutory recognition of settlor reserved powers and of protectors;
a form of 'special trust' to hold company shares on terms similar to those found in the British Virgin Island's VISTA legislation;
perpetual trusts; and
non-charitable purpose trusts.
New Zealand also lies in the Pacific region and its advantages as a trust planning jurisdiction have caused many Asian families to use it as a jurisdiction.
New Zealand trust law is based on English law and the English rules of equity underpin the New Zealand trust regime, making its trust law attractive through this foundation body of jurisprudence. New Zealand has a favourable tax regime which provides that certain trusts will not be subject to New Zealand income tax. These trusts tend to be known to New Zealand trust practitioners as 'foreign trusts'. To qualify as a foreign trust the settlor must not be New Zealand resident, the beneficiaries must not be New Zealand resident and the income derived by the trust must be from sources outside New Zealand. There is no capital gains tax in New Zealand nor any form of estate duty.
New Zealand is also attractive as a jurisdiction because of its private trust company regime. A New Zealand private trust company does not need to be licensed or specially exempted. There are no requirements that the directors or shareholders of a New Zealand private trust company be New Zealand resident nor have any New Zealand nexus.
There are significant differences, then, between Asian jurisdictions as to the forms of trust available and their usage. Hong Kong and Singapore have long established trust laws derived from British colonial rule: Singapore has updated its law to incorporate many modern trust law features, with Hong Kong set to follow suit shortly. India also has a developed trust law although it is not one that is likely to be chosen by settlors outside India. Both Japan and the PRC have recognised that there are merits in having a trust law for commercial trusts but their trust laws have not, for a number of reasons, developed to facilitate the creation of family trusts. Labuan represents a bold attempt to establish an offshore financial centre within the heart of South-East Asia. New Zealand also draws international trust business as a tax neutral jurisdiction.

As a Baptcare Customer Liaison Consultant, Marie Girdham plays a vital role in helping older people access services that allow them to live independently in their own home.
A major part of Marie's job is visiting people at home to talk to them about the home care services that will best meet their needs. "Typically, I go out to see someone after they have contacted our Customer Enquiry Consultants or been referred by their GP. I have a very open conversation with them to see how Baptcare's home care services can help them live well in their own home," Marie says.


I have had a rough couple of weeks. I am just. So. Tired. Things that shouldn't be hard are hard. Things that I roll my eyes for other people complaining about, I am suddenly realizing that maybe they weren't whining. Maybe these things ARE really hard they just were not hard for me … yet. Turns out I needed to be more gentle with my colleagues. When they told me they were triggered and I wasn't, I decided it was because they are soft. They just don't know how to get it together. That wasn't true. That was me being a jerk.
And then those very same things triggered me! Things that weren't bothering me suddenly really were. And because I didn't believe or take seriously my colleagues' pain, it was really hard to take seriously that same pain in myself.
When I was struggling with my mystery disease I had pressure points that hurt for seemingly no reason. Sometimes playful pokes and well meaning hugs hit me in the wrong way and caused pain, even when the toucher meant no harm. Just because they didn't mean anything by it doesn't mean I was not in pain. Just because I wasn't feeling the effects of the things my colleagues were struggling with didn't mean their pain was any less real.
Here is the thing about pain, trauma, struggles, grief: only the person experiencing it gets to tell us whether or not it is real. Just because me punching your shoulder feels fine doesn't mean it doesn't hurt like hell for the next person. We cannot ever really know when a person is in pain, instead we need to believe them.
And what I have recently discovered is that the person whose pain it is often hardest to believe is my own. If I had practiced empathy for others as they were expressing what triggered difficulty in their life I likely could have been more gentle with myself. Their pain was real. My pain is real, but I hadn't given myself permission to recognize it in either of us.
Triggers are strange. They don't elicit the same experience from one person to another. That doesn't mean we should judge one another's pain as valid or not. It means we need to believe each other. Be kind to each other. Practice being gentle with all of us, even ourselves.

There are increasing calls for unity within the French left, which is divided like never before. But with less than four months to go until the European elections, attempts to bring left-wing groups together are struggling to gain traction. EURACTIV France reports.
The latest poll by OpinionWay/Tilder published on 31 January showed that both the lists of La France Insoumise (LFI) and Europe Ecology – The Greens (EELV) would receive 8% of the vote, while the French Socialist Party (PS) would gain only 6%.
The Génération.s movement co-founded by Benoît Hamon, formerly a candidate for the French presidential election for the Socialists, would remain outside the European Parliament, with 4%. So, too, would the French Communist Party (PCF), with 2%.
However, uniting these parties under a single banner could stand to attract almost as many voters as the centrist La République En Marche (20%) and the far-right Rassemblement National (22%). This would also ensure that the French Left has a significant delegation of MEPs after May 2019.
Currently, there are 12 French Socialist MEPs, while the Greens have 6, and the Communists and La France Insoumise together have 5 MEPs, after Emmanuel Maurel left the French Socialists. This amounts to a total of 23 MEPs of the 74 French deputies.
In 2014, the radical left was able to unite under the 'Front de Gauche' alliance. At the launch of the French Communist Party's campaign on 5 February 2019, the leader of its list, Ian Brossat, left the door open for alliances on the left. However, it seems unlikely that La France Insoumise and the communists will get closer.
Socialist voters are currently divided between the list led by the Socialist Party and the one headed by the former presidential candidate, Hamon.
The latter has advocated a coming together of the French left, repeatedly calling for a union with the other parties. In order to avoid the lists being scattered, the co-founder of Génération.s has proposed a "citizen voting" process to serve as the basis for a common list. Hamon hopes that holding a citizens' vote would result in the creation of a list and a joint programme for the European elections.
"We are currently extending an invitation to leaders of lists and political forces, and, more broadly, to intellectuals and citizens' movements, so that they register for this vote and respond before 22 February," Hamon specified in an interview with the daily newspaper Le Monde.
In addition to La France Insoumise, the French Socialists, the Greens and the Communists, Hamon also mentions the radicals of the left (LRDG), the citizens' movement Nouvelle Donne, Yanis Varoufakis' DiEM25 and Raphaël Glucksmann's political movement Place publique.
Voters would be called upon to specify their three preferred lists in order of hierarchy. In order to reach a decision on differences in the parties' programmes, participants could also be consulted on major issues.
Could the mediation of a citizens' vote unblock alliances? Nouvelle Donne and Place publique have both responded positively to Hamon's call.
"Nouvelle_Donne works to bring together ecologist, progressive and pro-European movements. We welcome the call of @benoithamon," the citizens' movement tweeted.
The Socialist Party's first secretary Olivier Faure has also faced calls to unite the left. However, for the Greens and La France Insoumise, the door remains closed. Moreover, the Greens' lead candidate immediately rejected the possibility of citizen voting.
"Ecology is much more than the left," said Yannick Jadot on public radio France Info on 8 February. "What I'm proposing, to all left-wing voters and, beyond, to all humanists, is opening a new political page in Europe of ecology," he explained, highlighting the "disagreements on Europe," among the various left-wing groups.
La France Insoumise, whose list for the European elections is headed by Manon Aubry, has not yet responded to the proposal by Génération.s. However, the failure of the alliance proposed by Hamon to Jean-Luc Mélenchon during the June 2017 presidential election suggests that there would be a similar outcome.
While some of the left-wing groups' policy positions are similar, such as opposition to EU free trade agreements, banning glyphosate and combating tax fraud, other issues divide them.

What sets Dolphins apart from their NF siblings is the ease in which they can assimilate into society. This is not to say that it is any better or worse for them in terms of emotional health, but externally, the popular Dolphin is a paragon of social excellence. And unlike the spacy, Puckish otherworldliness of a Baboon, a Dolphin's idealism is far more grounded and thus, accessible.
Vocal but not aggressive, sociable but not oppressive, Dolphins use their substantial interpersonal skills to build authentic communities where individuals can be themselves without fear of social reprisal. As group leaders, Dolphins have no equal when it comes to eliciting the intimate thoughts and feelings of other group members, encouraging each individual to share past mistakes, present-day anxieties, and future dreams. During brainstorming sessions, Dolphins ensure that everyone has the opportunity to speak and be heard, frequently abstaining from voicing their own opinion until the very end—as an NF, ENFJs are always wary of exerting too much social pressure from their position of authority. This also allows the Dolphin, who might not have prior experience in a particular situation, to pool the best answers from the group, eventually leading to an ideal solution—basically, a Dolphin doesn't necessarily have to know the way in order to lead the way. This style of direction can be baffling to other, more authoritative, types, who view the Dolphin's leadership style as the sort of "leading from the back", laissez-faire idealism that pervades leadership conferences and sells books, but is completely ineffective in the "real world". However, to a Dolphin, the world is what we make of it, and the only reason why antiquated concepts like gender and racial stereotypes continue to permeate society is because they continue to be indoctrinated as "reality". A Dolphin's main purpose in life is to create a better reality, created by all of the people who have to live in it.
The outstanding coach is a teacher that gets all of his squad to accept the role that he considers to be the most important for the welfare of all.
Like all NFs, Dolphins are superb at connecting with a wide variety of personalities, age groups, ethnicities, and the like, by communicating their ideas to them on an emotional level. The major difference is, as an idealist who likes to work within systems of people, a Dolphin's energy is focused on crafting their message to each individual member of the team, class, or organization. Whether it's a superstar shooting guard in dire need of a lesson in humility, or an entitled, apathetic middle school student embarrassed by the story of Malala, those under the leadership of Dolphins benefit from their outside-the-box teaching strategies in a way that no amount of heavy-handed discipline—otherwise known as the traditional method—could match. The end result is that every member of the group feels accepted as an individual, and it is that sense of self-worth that inspires both cohesion and a dedication to the greater welfare of all.
Oh, the cops. I can't believe this is my life. Oh my God. I'm gonna have to send my SAT scores to San Quentin instead of Stanford.
Dolphins can be incredibly open about sharing their feelings, an important, albeit nuanced, difference from Baboons, who mostly share their ideas and opinions while keeping their deepest feelings under wraps. This leads to Dolphins being perceived as spirited, yet grounded—emotions being far more accessible to the more numerous concrete personality types than abstract convictions—causing them to be quite popular. They are the cool, yet unpretentious homecoming king or queen, or the former student body president and valedictorian that, in a recurring dream of your parents, you bring home for Thanksgiving. The downside to a Dolphin's limited verbal discretion is that by revealing so much private information—please ENFJ, do you think we really want to hear about your incontinence issues?—they can make others feel uncomfortable. This also makes them appear overly sensitive and emotionally needy. And at those times where appearance and reality coincide, the popularity that seemed to come to them with such ease turns into neurotic paranoia, with the Dolphin agonizing over whether everyone hates them or not.
I love this, that is me!!
Really true ….it describes my nature perfectly..
Thanks Lisette! Part of the intent of the test was to eliminate the standard (blank) vs. (blank) dichotomy for that very reason. In terms of an Elephant (ESFJ) vs. a Dolphin (ENFJ), they can seem pretty similar on the outside. It might help to read up on Guardians and Idealists (https://youtopiaproject.com/the-four-temperaments/)– Elephants being the former and Dolphins being the latter. Not sure if Dolphins are the most concrete intuitives, as it really depends on the context, though it makes sense that they would appear to be that way to some people considering their superficial similarity to Guardians (when you make up more than half the population, people tend to view you as an example of "S"-ness). If I really had to thin-slice–though I would really recommend that you read about the 4 temperaments–I would ask these questions: What's a greater priority to you? Duty and family, or people and principles? Do you view the future as something in which you want to be secure in, or an empty vessel for self discovery? Though if you're saying that your friends joke about you being a "cult leader for MBTI", you probably have your answer already. Hope this helps.

Q: Calculate all possible sums in an array from its sub arrays I have an array of numbers, now I have to find sum of elements by generating all the possible subarrays of the given array and applying some conditions.
The condition is for each subarray get the minimum and also find the total of elements in it and multiply both (minimum * total). Finally, add all these multiplied values for all subarrays.
Here is the problem statement:
Find the sum of all possible sub-arrays using the below formula:

Sum(left, right) = (min of arr[i]) * (∑ arr[i]), where i ranges from
left to right.

Example:
Array = [2,3,2,1]

The sub arrays are: [start_index, end_index]
 [0,0] subarray = [2], min is 2 and total of items = 2. min * total = 2*2=4
 [0,1] subarray = [2,3], min is 2 and total of items = 5. min * total = 2*5=10
 [0,2] subarray = [2,3,2], min is 2 and total of items = 7. min * total = 2*7=14
 [0,3] subarray = [2,3,2,1], min is 1 and total of items = 8. min * total = 1*8=8

 [1,1] subarray = [3], min is 3 and total of items = 3. min * total = 3*3 = 9
 [1,2] subarray = [3,2], min is 2 and total of items = 5. min * total = 2*5 = 10
 [1,3] subarray = [3,2,1], min is 1 and total of items = 6. min * total = 1*6 = 6

 [2,2] subarray = [2], min is 2 and total of items = 2. min * total = 2*2 = 4
 [2,3] subarray = [2,1], min is 1 and total of items = 3. min * total = 1*3 = 3

 [3,3] subarray = [1], min is 1 and total of items = 1. min * total = 1*1 = 1

 Total = 4 + 10 + 14 + 8 + 9 + 10+ 6 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 69

So the answer is 69 in this case.
Constraints:
Each array element is in range 1 to 10^9. Array size 1 to 10^5. Return response in modulo 10^9+7

This is the code I tried.
public static int process(List<Integer> list) {
    int n = list.size();
    int mod = 7 + 1000_000_000;
    long result = 0;
    for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) {
        long total = 0;
        int min = list.get(i);
        for (int j = i; j < n; j++) {
            int p = list.get(j);
            total = (total + p) % mod;
            min = Math.min(min, p);
            result = (result + (min * total) % mod) % mod;
        }
    }
    return (int) result;
}

I want to reduce the time complexity of this algorithm?
What can be a better approach to solve this task?
Update:
David Eisenstat has given a great answer, but Im finding it to difficult to understand and come with a Java program, can someone provide a java solution for the approach or provide a pseudo code so i can come up with a program.

A: As user1984 observes, we can't achieve o(n²) by doing constant work for each sub-array. Here's how we get to O(n).
The sub-array minimum is the hardest factor to deal with, so we factor it out. Assume that the elements are pairwise distinct to avoid double counting in the math below (the code won't change). Letting A range over sub-arrays and x over elements,
sum_{A} [(sum_{y in A} y) (min A)] =
sum_{x} [x sum_{A such that min(A) = x} (sum_{y in A} y)].

Focusing on sum_{A | min(A) = x} (sum_{y in A} y) first, the picture is that we have a sub-array like
a b x c d e

where the element to the left of a (if it exists) is less than x, the element to the right of e (if it exists) is less than x, and all of the elements shown are greater than x. We want to sum over all sub-sub-arrays containing x.
a b x
b x
x
a b x c
b x c
x c
a b x c d
b x c d
x c d
a b x c d e
b x c d e
x c d e

We still don't have time to sum over these sub-sub-arrays, but fortunately there's a pattern. Here are the number of times each element appears in a sub-sub-array.
a: 4 = 1 * 4 appearances
b: 8 = 2 * 4 appearances
x: 12 = 3 * 4 appearances
c: 9 = 3 * 3 appearances
d: 6 = 3 * 2 appearances
e: 3 = 3 * 1 appearances

This insight reduces the processing time for one sub-array to O(n), but there are still n sub-arrays, so we need two more ideas.
Now is the right time to figure out what the sub-arrays look like. The first sub-array is the whole array. We split this array at the minimum element and recursively investigate the left sub-array and the right separately.
This recursive structure is captured by the labeled binary tree where

*

*The in-order traversal is the array elements in order;

*Every node has a label less than its children. (I'm still assuming distinct elements. In practice what we can do is to declare the array index to be a tiebreaker.)

This is called a treap, and it can be constructed in linear time by an algorithm with a family resemblance to precedence parsing. For the array [3,1,4,5,9,2,6], for example, see below.
  1
 / \
3   2
   / \
  4   6
   \
    5
     \
      9

The final piece is being able to aggregate the sum patterns above. Specifically, we want to implement an API that might look like this in C++:
class ArraySummary {
public:
  // Constructs an object with underlying array [x].
  ArraySummary(int x);

  // Returns an object representing the concatenation of the underlying arrays.
  ArraySummary Concatenate(ArraySummary that);

  // Returns the sum over i of (i+1)*array[i].
  int WeirdSum();
};

The point of this interface is that we don't actually need to store the whole array to implement WeirdSum(). If we store

*

*The length length of the underlying array,

*The usual sum sum of the underlying array,

*The weird sum weird_sum of the underlying array;

then we can implement the constructor as
length = 1;
sum = x;
weird_sum = x;

and Concatenate() as
length = length1 + length2;
sum = sum1 + sum2;
weird_sum = weird_sum1 + weird_sum2 + length1 * sum2;

We need two of these, one in each direction. Then it's just a depth-first traversal (actually if you implement precedence parsing, it's just bottom-up).

A: Your current solution has time complexity O(n^2), assuming that list.get is O(1). There are exactly 1 + 2 + ... + n-1 + n operations which can be expressed as n * (n + 1)/2, hence O(n^2).
Interestingly, n * (n + 1)/2 is the number of sub arrays that you can get from an array of length n, as defined in your question and evident from your code.
This implies that you are doing one operation per sub array and this is the requird minimum operations for this task, since you need to look at least once at each sub array.
My conclusion is that it isn't possible to reduce the time complexity of this task, unless there is some mathematical formula that helps to do so.
This doesn't necessary mean that there aren't ways to optimize the code, but that would need testing and may be language specific. Regardless, it wouldn't change the time complexity in terms of n where n is the length of the input array.
Appreciate any input on my logic. I'm learning myself.

A: The answer provided by David Eisenstat is very efficient with complexity of O(n).
I would like to share another approach, that although it has time complexity of O(n^2), it may be more simple and may be easier for some (me included) to fully understand.
Algorithm

*

*initiate two dimensional array of size matrix[n][n], each cell will hold pair of Integers <sum, min>. we will denote for each Matrix[i, j] the first element of the pair as Matrix[i, j].sum and the second as Matrix[i, j].min

*Initiate the diagonal of the matrix as follows:

for i in [0, n-1]:
    Matrix[i][i] = <arr[i], arr[i]>

*

for i in [0, n-1]:
   for j in[i, n-1]:
        Matrix[i, j] = <
            Matrix[i - 1, j].sum + arr[i, j],
            Min(Matrix[i - 1, j].min, arr[i, j])
        >

*Calculate the result:

result = 0
for i in [0, n-1]:
   for j in[i, n-1]:
       result += Matrix[i, j].sum * Matrix[i, j].min

Time Complexity Analysis

*

*Step 1: initiating two dimensional array ofsize [n,n] will take in theory O(n^2) as it may require to initiate all indices to 0, but if we skip the initialization of each cell and just allocate the memory this could take O(1)

*Step 2 : Here we iterate from 0 to n-1 doing constant work each iteration and therefore the time complexity is O(n)

*Step 3: Here we iterate over half of the matrix cells(all that are right of the diagonal), doing constant work each iteration, and therefore the time complexity is O((n - 1) + (n - 2) + .... + (1) + (0)) = O(n^2)

*Step 4: Similar analysis to step 3, O(n^2)
In total we get O(n^2)
Explanation for solution
This is simple example of Dynamic programming approach.
Let's define sub[i, j] as the subarray between index i and j while 0 =< i, j <= n-1
Then:

*

*Matrix[i, j].sum = sum x in sub[i, j]

*Matrix[i, j].min = min x in sub[i, j]
Why?
for sub[i,i] it's obvious that:

*

*sum x in sub[i, i] = arr[i]

*min x in sub[i, i] = arr[i]

Just like we calculate in step 2.
Convince yourself that:

*

*sum sub[i,j] = sum sub[i-1,j] + arr[i, j]

*min sub[i,j] = Min(min sub[i-1,j],  arr[i, j])
This explains step 3.
In Step 4 we just sums up everything to get the required result.

A: It can be with the O(n) solution.
Intuition
First of all, we want to achieve all subarrays like this.
a1 a2 a3 min b1 b2 b3 where min is minimum. We will use a monotonic increasing stack to achieve it. In every iteration, if the stack's top value is greater than the next element, we will pop the stack and calculate the sum until the condition is not met.
Secondly, we want to figure out how to calculate the total sum if we have an a1 a2 a3 min b1 b2 b3 subarray. Here, we will use a prefix of prefix sum.
Prefix Sum
At first, we need the prefix sum. Assume that p indicates prefix sum, we want to achieve p1 p2 p3 p4 p5 p6 p7. Our prefix sum will be like this;
p1: a1
p2: a1 + a2
p3: a1 + a2 + a3
.
p6 : a1 + a2 + a3 + min + b1 + b2
p7: a1 + a2 + a3 + min + b1 + b2 + b3
Within prefix sum now we can calculate the sum of between two indexes. The sum of (start, end] is pend - pstart. If start: 1 and end: 3 that means p3 - p1 = (a1 + a2 + a3) - (a1) = a2 + a3.
Prefix of Prefix Sum
How can we calculate all possible subarray sums that include our min value?
We separate this calculation to the left side and right side.
The left side included min will be a1 a2 a3 min.
The right side included min will be min b1 b2 b3.
For example, some of the possible sums can be:
a1 + a2 + a3 + min
a1 + a2 + a3 + min + b1
a3 + min + b1 + b2 + b3
min + b1 + b2 + b3
We need to find all the [bj, ai] sums. Where i means all the left side indexes and j means all the right side indexes. Now We need to use the prefix of prefix sum. It will give us all possible sums between two indexes. Let's say P. It will be sum(Pj) - sum(Pi).
Now, how do we calculate our sum(Pj) - sum(Pi)?
So Pj is P7 - P4. It is the right side possible sum.
Same way Pi is P4 - P1. It is the left side possible sum.
How many combinations for sum(Pj) are there?
leftSize * (P7 - P4). Same way for sum(Pi) it will be rightSize * (P4 - P1).
Final equation to calculate subarray [a1 a2 a3 min b1 b2 b3] is: min * ((leftSize * (P7 - P4)) - (rightSize * (P4 - P1))).
Algorithm
public static int process(List<Integer> list) {

    int n = list.size();
    int mod = (int) 1e9 + 7;
    int[] preSum = new int[n + 2];
    Deque<Integer> stack = new ArrayDeque<>();
    int pre = 0;
    int result = 0;

    for (int i = 0; i <= n; i++) {
        int num = i < n ? list.get(i) : 0;
        // current prefix sum
        pre = (pre + num) % mod;

        // prefix of prefix sum array
        preSum[i + 1] = (preSum[i] + pre) % mod;
        while (!stack.isEmpty() && list.get(stack.peek()) > num) {
            int mid = stack.pop();
            int left = stack.isEmpty() ? -1 : stack.peek();
            int lSize = mid - left;
            int rSize = i - mid;
            long lSum = left < 0 ? preSum[mid] : preSum[mid] - preSum[left];
            long rSum = preSum[i] - preSum[mid];
            result = (int) (result + (list.get(mid) * ((rSum * lSize - lSum * rSize) % mod)) % mod) % mod;
        }
        stack.push(i);
    }

    return (result + mod) % mod;
}

Time complexity: O(n)
Space complexity: O(n)

Google CEO Sundar Pichai talks about Google Lens and updates to the Google Assistant during the keynote address of the Google I/O conference, Wednesday, May 17, 2017, in Mountain View, Calif. Google provided the latest peek at the digital services and gadgets that it has assembled in the high-tech tussle to become an even more influential force in people's lives.
Google provided a look at its latest digital offerings, with a heavy focus on its efforts to extend artificial intelligence features into more of its apps and services.
CEO Sundar Pichai unveiled Google Lens, a set of vision-based computing capabilities that can understand what you are looking at. It will first be available as part of Google's voice-controlled digital assistant — which bears the straightforward name "Google Assistant" — and Photos app. In the real world, that means you could, for instance, point your phone camera at a restaurant and get reviews for it.
Pinterest has a similar tool. Also called Lens, it lets people point their cameras at real-world items and find out where to buy them, or find similar things online.
Another tool in Google Photos will prompt you to share photos you take with people you know. For instance, Photos will notice when you take a shot of a friend and nudge you to send it to her, so you don't forget. Google will also let you share whole photo libraries with others. Facebook has its own version of this feature in its Moments app.
One potentially unsettling new feature in Photos will let you automatically share some or all of your photos with other people. Google claims the feature will be smart enough so that you could auto-share only specific photos — say, of your kids — to your partner or a friend.
The company is also giving the crowd a look at new twists in its Android software for mobile devices, which powers more than 80 percent of the world's smartphones. The next version of Android, available to the mass market later this year, aims to gauge and control how much battery life your apps are using. A feature called Google Play Protect, meanwhile, will scan all your apps for malicious software.
As part of a years-old tradition, Google will name the next Android version after a dessert or sweet-tasting snack beginning with the letter "O." (The current version of Android is the N version, Nougat.) It often takes years for a new version of the software to make it to older phones, and never arrives at all for some.
Rival Apple plans to provide unveil changes to the operating system for its popular iPhone next month. Many of Google's products are also vying against similar offerings from other tech conglomerates like Amazon and Microsoft.
Google is also planning a slimmed down version of Android for low-end phones, primarily used in the developing world. Called Android Go, this software will automatically enable data-saving features and will steer users toward apps designed specifically for inexpensive hardware.
