How DBS develops future-ready digital leaders
Category: Leadership
The digital way of life cannot be taught in a classroom. Find out how DBS Bank got its long-time bankers to think like a start-up, in this case by Laurence Smith, the company's managing director of HR and group head of learning and talent development.
"In the next five years, our industry is going to go through cataclysmic disruption. Within the next decade, there will be banks that will make the transition and banks that will die."
– DBS CEO Piyush Gupta, keynoting at the SMU Digital Banking conference.
DBS must transform itself to be as agile, innovative and fast-to-market as the famed "GAFA" companies of Google, Amazon, Facebook and Apple (and in Asia you can add Alibaba).
While simultaneously living with the reality of being a tightly regulated industry, DBS must also compete with hundreds of innovative Fintech start-ups that pick off some of the most profitable areas of banking.
Future leaders must be deeply immersed in the digital world so they really understand both the opportunities and threats, and can move faster than the competition. But how do you "get digital?"
Digital cannot be "taught in a classroom" and long-time bankers, especially those who have grown up in an industry defined by branch banking, may even see digital as a threat, while others believe that regulators will always protect the industry.
Doing digital right
The DBS learning and talent development team (LTD), in partnership with DiG (DBS Innovation Group), has created an innovative programme that has had a dramatic impact on the digital mindset and capabilities of leaders across DBS.
The famed #DBSHackathon series has changed the mindset of hundreds of leaders across the bank and is the first phase of an integrated programme designed to develop a digital mindset in every DBS employee before the end of 2016.
Long-time bankers, especially those who have grown up in an industry defined by branch banking, may even see digital as a threat, while others believe that regulators will always protect the industry.
Over the past six months DBS has run four five-day programmes, each beginning with a digital master class, and then leveraging human-centred design and "lean start-up" thinking in a hackathon with real start-ups, to develop app prototypes that solve real business challenges.
Senior business leaders have been fully involved as challenge sponsors and speakers, with group CEO Gupta, group head of HR Lee Yan Hong, and head of innovation Neal Cross, the judges in the finals where nearly 100 senior leaders, partnering with 20 start-ups from across Asia, competed for the grand prize.
When bankers think like a start-up
This formula has proven extremely successful and far exceeded our expectations. While the original objective had been to help employees develop a digital mindset, we found it to be both an extremely powerful form of "action learning" and a way in which employees have to live our values to succeed in the extremely competitive hackathons.
In addition, by giving them real business problems to solve – and having them work with a start-up for a 72-hour hackathon – we have produced 50 app prototypes, several of which are now being built as actual new products for clients.
So what started as a way of "training" to be more digital has ended up as a very powerful product ideation process and, in fact, two of the prototypes have already been built into full apps and are about to be launched, with another eight under review by sponsors.
Over the past six months DBS has run four five-day programmes, each beginning with a digital master class, and then leveraging human-centred design and "lean start-up" thinking in a hackathon with real start-ups.
Talent from one of the winning teams described the experience as "mind-changing". One said he had never realised he had been seeing the world in analogue until he "saw it all in digital".
Like black and white TV, once you've seen colour TV, you can never go back. So this formula of making senior bankers act like a start-up for 72 hours has had a real long-term impact and helped them pass the tipping point of "getting digital".
Moving forward, other developmental activities will include rolling out a three-day "digital mindset boot camp" across the region, as well as leveraging one of the apps that enables employees to create digital challenges for each other and compete on a gamified leader board to get points on the bank's innovation index.
Young talent who have been through the boot camps and hackathons will be empowered to reverse-mentor senior leaders and even help them get more points on the digi-challenge app than their peers, adding an element of fun and competition to the learning.
"Getting digital" is one of the bank's top three strategic priorities and the #DBSHackathon series is just a part of the solution, but one that has already had a big impact on the way people think.
That effort was recently recognised by the CEO – jointly awarding the HR and innovation teams with the CEO's innovation award.

Q: Naming.unbind("somename") fails against wildfly 13 I'm migrating an app from jboss 4.2 to wildfly 13. The app exposes EJBs, successfully migrated and these EJBs are used by some standalone clients (wrapped as services with tanuki wrapper) running on the same machine as wildfly. These standalone clients are monitored using JMX.
The startup code tries to unbind the service name in case the client crashed in an earlier run using
Naming.unbind("//localhost:1099/myService");

On normal startup (not after a crash) a
java.rmi.NotBoundException

is expected.
My issue is I get the following stacktrace
Caused by: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused: connect

port 1099 is the default "well known" port as stated by the Naming javadoc:

The Naming class provides methods for storing and obtaining references
  to remote objects in a remote object registry. Each method of the
  Naming class takes as one of its arguments a name that is a
  java.lang.String in URL format (without the scheme component) of the
  form:
        //host:port/name
      where host is the host (remote or local) where the registry is located, port is the port number on which the registry accepts calls,
  and where name is a simple string uninterpreted by the registry. Both
  host and port are optional. If host is omitted, the host defaults to
  the local host. If port is omitted, then the port defaults to 1099,
  the "well-known" port that RMI's registry, rmiregistry, uses.

I also tried with wildfly management port as it uses http port upgrade, I get
java.rmi.ConnectIOException: error during JRMP connection establishment; nested exception is:
    java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

with the following root cause
Caused by: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out

    at java.io.DataInputStream.readByte(DataInputStream.java:265)
    at sun.rmi.transport.tcp.TCPChannel.createConnection(TCPChannel.java:246)

What am I missing and/or doing wrong?

A: I found that the rmiregistry is not started by wildfly. I was mislead by our old environment that starts rmiregistry on OS startup by init.d.
So starting the rmiregistry solved my problem.
Rmi and wildfly http upgrade feature are not related to each other since rmiregistry is an independent process.

Q: crypto-js versus php-mcrypt AES crypt/decrypt I'm trying to write a cross language crypt/decrypt tool (JavaScript vs PHP/mcryp), and I kinda got stuck.
You can find my js code http://jsbin.com/siyesaqa/31/edit here, while my php code looks like this:
class Manager
{

    /**
     * @param string $content
     * @param string $passphrase
     * @return string
     */
    public static function encrypt($plain, $passphrase = null) {
        $salt = mcrypt_create_iv(
            128 / 8,
            MCRYPT_DEV_URANDOM
        );
        $cipher = hash_pbkdf2(
            "sha256",
            $passphrase ? $passphrase : $_ENV['SECURITY_KEY'],
            $salt,
            100,
            128 / 8
        );
        $iv = mcrypt_create_iv(
            mcrypt_get_iv_size(MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128, MCRYPT_MODE_CBC),
            MCRYPT_RAND
        );
        $encrypted = mcrypt_encrypt(
            MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128,
            $cipher,
            $plain,
            MCRYPT_MODE_CBC,
            $iv
        );
        return base64_encode($salt) . base64_encode($iv) . base64_encode($encrypted);
    }

    /**
     * @param string $encContent
     * @param string $passphrase
     * @return string
     */
    public static function decrypt($encrypted, $passphrase = null) {
        $encrypted = base64_decode($passphrase ? $passphrase : $_ENV['SECURITY_KEY']);
        $salt = substr($encrypted, 0, 128 / 8);
        $cipher = hash_pbkdf2("sha256", $passphrase, $salt, 1000, 128 / 8);
        $iv = substr($encrypted, 128 / 8, 128 / 8);
        return trim(mcrypt_decrypt(
            MCRYPT_RIJNDAEL_128,
            $cipher,
            substr($encrypted, 128 / 8 * 2),
            MCRYPT_MODE_CBC,
            $iv
        ), "\0\t");
    }
}

As you can notice, I'm having a bit of trouble returning the same values for salt and cipher variables.
Could anyone with more experience in these two libraries give me a hint?
Thank you very much in advance.

A: Your JavaScript encryption function hex encodes the salt and IV while the PHP function Base64 encodes them. Both functions Base64 encode the ciphertext though.
Additionally, it appears that your PHP decryption function uses 1000 rounds of PBKDF2 while all other functions use 100 rounds.

Boten Anna (Anna, il bot) è il titolo del singolo di debutto del produttore di musica dance svedese Basshunter. È il primo singolo estratto dal secondo album dell'artista, LOL <(^^,)>. È stata pubblicata anche una versione in inglese.

Il brano
Il brano parla di un utente della rete informatica IRC, Anna, che viene scambiata per un bot. Solo alla fine della canzone si scoprirà che si tratta in realtà di una persona in carne ed ossa, ma rimarrà comunque un bot agli occhi del protagonista.

Il cantante ha dichiarato in un'intervista che la canzone è stata ispirata da una storia vera. È infatti capitato che Basshunter, nel suo personale canale della chat IRC, ha scambiato Anna, bravissima a gestire il canale, per un bot, e solo dopo vari mesi ha scoperto che si trattava della ragazza di un suo amico.

La canzone, nonostante l'argomento poco recepibile da tutti quanti, ha comunque goduto di un doppio significato che l'ha portata al successo globale. Infatti, la parola bot è pronunciata come boat in inglese, che significa barca, mentre channel assume vari significati, tra cui quello di canale dove scorre l'acqua. Proprio per questo doppio senso è stato girato un secondo video (oltre a quello dove Basshunter, protagonista, è impegnato sul suo computer insieme ad Anna) dove il cantante pedala sull'acqua di un canale.

Nel 2007 la canzone è stata reincisa in inglese con il titolo Now You're Gone e pubblicata il 7 gennaio 2008, raggiungendo le vette della classifiche britannica e irlandese.

Successo
Pubblicato il 29 maggio 2006 in numerosi paesi del nord Europa, il singolo riscuote un enorme successo raggiungendo la vetta di numerose classifiche e la canzone diventa uno dei tormentoni estivi di quella stagione in vari stati.

Nature or Nurture: Cross-Generational Transmission of Major Psychiatric Disorders
Emily Pond
Cross-generational transmission of bipolar disorder appeared to be more strongly associated with schizophrenia than major depression.
Genes appear to play an overwhelming role in the transmission of bipolar disorder across generations, as well as cross-generational transmission between bipolar disorder and disorders on the schizophrenia spectrum, according to study data published in JAMA Psychiatry. However, childrearing and genes equally contribute to bipolar disorder and depression transmission.
Researchers analyzed data on parents and offspring born between 1960 and 1990 from population-based registers in Sweden. The outcome of interest was confirmed diagnosis of bipolar disorder, major depression, or schizophrenia, and the exposure comprised 3 forms of parent-offspring resemblance: genetics only, childrearing environment only, and genes plus childrearing.
Tetrachoric correlation and logistic regression analyses were used to capture parent-offspring resemblance in each diagnostic category. Additionally, cross-generation analyses were conducted to identify any genetic association between bipolar disorder, major depression, and schizophrenia.
The study population (N=2,417,104; age range, 25-60 years; 51.8% men) belonged to 4 family types: intact; families where the biological father resided outside the home; families with a stepfather living at home in lieu of biological father; and adoptive families. In general, the prevalence of psychiatric disorders was lowest among intact families. Bipolar disorder and depression were more commonly observed among women, while nonaffective psychosis and schizophrenia appeared to have an impact on men and women equally.
Results of HOPE-BD Study Emphasize Importance of Early Intervention in Bipolar Disorder
Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder May Share Sleep-Circadian Rhythm Phenotypes
Mental Health History May Be Associated With Increased Chronic Opioid Therapy Risk in RA
The magnitude of parent-to-offspring bipolar disorder transmission was estimated at 0.25 (95% CI, 0.24-0.26) when parents provided genes plus rearing, 0.22 (95% CI, 0.18-0.26) when parents provided genes only, and 0.07 (95% CI, -0.01 to 0.15) when parents provided rearing only. Per logistic regression, the corresponding ORs for bipolar disorder transmission were 5.20 (95% CI, 4.91-5.50), 3.66 (95% CI, 2.97-4.51), and 1.63 (95% CI, 0.96-2.78).
Cross-disorder tetrachoric correlations for bipolar disorder and broad schizophrenia were 0.12 (95% CI, 0.11-0.13) for genes plus rearing, 0.12 (95% CI, 0.09-0.14) for genes only, and -0.03 (95% CI, -0.11 to 0.04) for rearing only. For bipolar disorder and major depression, the parallel tetrachoric correlations were estimated at 0.09 (95% CI, 0.07-0.10) for genes plus rearing, 0.04 (95% CI, 0.01-0.07) for genes only, and 0.05 (95% CI, 0.01-0.08) for rearing only. Bipolar disorder heritability was estimated at 0.44 (95% CI, 0.36-0.48) using genes-only parent-offspring data. The genetic correlation between bipolar disorder and schizophrenia was 0.572 (95% CI, 0.560-0.589); between bipolar disorder and major depression, the correlation was 0.302 (95% CI, 0.001-0.523).
The findings identify genetics as the primary driver of parent-to-child bipolar disorder transmission, although childrearing elements may also contribute to risk. Cross-generational transmission of bipolar disorder appeared to be more strongly associated with schizophrenia than major depression. Additionally, transmission of bipolar disorder to schizophrenia appeared to result entirely from genetics, whereas transmission from bipolar disorder to major depression displayed equal contributions from genetics and childrearing.
The investigators noted that the use of registries may have limited data granularity; disease severity, specific symptoms, and change in diagnosis over time could not be ascertained. Even so, these large-scale, prospective findings emphasize the role of genetics and childhood environment in later psychiatric illness.

Most people who have heard the name Mobvoi will probably associate the company with its TicWatch range of smartwatches, which have earned a reputation for great quality at a reasonable price, but there's much more to this innovative consumer electronics business.
Founded in Beijing, China, in 2012, the company name "Mobvoi" is a portmanteau of the words "mobile voice" which hints at the organization's origins as a developer of mobile voice search technology, which was used in the popular Chinese social media app, WeChat.
It wasn't until 2015 that Mobvoi first released a smartwatch based on Google's WearOS platform for wearable technology. Named "TicWatch" the product became hugely successful in China, before spawning a range of more advanced models over the years which become highly competitive in western markets too.
Building on its success in smartwatches, Mobvoi followed up with a range of Bluetooth headphones with smart features like voice and gesture control and active noise cancelling; the in-ear style TicPod range, and the over-ear TicKasa. Other products from Mobvoi include an intelligent home treadmill, outdoor security camera, which are available in western markets.
The company offers a wider range of products in its home market, including smart-car applications, fitness bands and smart-speakers, as well as some smartwatches and headphones which it does not sell internationally. In 2017 Mobvoi partnered with Volkswagen to include its voice assistant technology in cars sold in the Chinese market.
Outside of China, Mobvoi's TicWatch range is sold with the standard version of WearOS, while in its domestic market the products use a modified version of the platform tailored for Chinese users.
The company was founded by:
Zhifei Li, a research scientist with a PhD from John Hopkins University in natural language processing, machine translation, and machine learning. He formerly worked at both Google and Microsoft.
Yuanyuan Li, with a degree in software engineering and a masters in information management.
During its growth, Mobvoi has undergone five funding rounds with investors including leading US venture capital firm, Sequoia, and Google, as well as various other investment and technology companies. During its early growth many of its products were developed using crowdfunding, to gauge public appetite for the devices before manufacturing began. The company is currently valued at over $1billion.
While consumers are most likely to associate Mobvoi with its range of consumer electronics products, the company is more broadly focused on artificial intelligence and natural language processing in particular, which has a wide range of business applications. The mixed focus of wearable tech and natural language processing makes sense when you consider that voice activated assistants are most useful when embedded into products like smartwatches, headphones or in-car systems, where voice is really the best (sometimes only) way for users to communicate with those devices.
While the brand name might not be as recognisable as some of the bigger and more established consumer tech players, Mobvoi is fast carving out a reputation as a manufacturer of innovative, high quality, and great value products. We started this site because we're genuine fans of the company, having purchased several of its devices, and we want to help people who are considering a Mobvoi product and want to know whether they're making a good decision.

Poster Reveal: 50/50!
Sean Canfield	 July 12, 2011 1 Comment
Today /Film has the exclusive on the poster for the upcoming dramatic comedy, 50/50, starring Joseph Gordon Levitt and Seth Rogen. For those that haven't been following, the film is based on the real life of writer Will Reiser, a friend of Rogen's who lived through the ordeal in real life.
His original script, I'm With Cancer quickly got notoriety by appearing on the Black List as compiled by industry leaders. The trailer has been online for a while, but today they've revealed the poster:
I like it, very straight to the point, while it doesn't mention cancer, I feel it captures the full thematic attitude of the movie (of course, without having seen it) being both about cancer, but with a lighthearted approach. Simple, yet effective.
Director Jonathan Levine's past films have been very good in each genre he's made one in (horror, period piece comedy), so I'm curious to see his take on Reiser's story. Critics and fans alike are eagerly anticipating its September 30th release. What do you think? Is this something you'll be seeing in theaters?

People may say that they are content to age naturally, but expenditures on products designed or promoted to turn back the clock reveal a different reality. A study of more than 30,000 US adults over the age of 42 predicts that the anti aging products market will reach $4 billion this year.
"The Realities About Aging Naturally," was conducted by Focalyst, a market research and consulting firm that focuses exclusively on baby boomers, people born between 1946 and 1964, and, "matures," which the company defines as those born before 1946. More than two thirds of baby boomers, and more than half of matures said staying attractive to the opposite sex is important.
According to the study, 33 million baby boomers and 15 million matures are going to give nature a helping hand by purchasing anti aging products over the next 12 months. In fact, while more than 31 million boomer and mature consumers say they are proponents of aging naturally, they also plan to buy and use anti aging products.
"We are seeing a true dichotomy between attitudes and behaviors around appearance and aging," said Heather Stern, director of marketing at Focalyst. "This is particularly true among boomers, who may perceive methods of fighting aging through any means that is not surgical or invasive as still being, "natural."
The report also revealed the following characteristics among the groups studied:
69 percent of boomer males are concerned about staying attractive to the opposite sex, and are open to buying and using anti aging products and treatments.
While appearance is important to all singles, 62 percent of single matures are the most interested in continuing to look young, and 79 percent are most interested in dressing well.
When it comes to being attractive to the opposite sex, married and single boomers are a lot alike. 68 percent of the married boomers cited this as important, compared with 70 percent of single baby boomers.
Despite the rise in cosmetic procedures, such as plastic surgery and Botox injections, just two percent of those surveyed admitted to planning for such procedures.
Focalyst is based in New York City and is a joint venture with AARP Services, Inc.

Checkout.com to triple office space and double staff numbers
Fast growth payment processor Checkout.com is to triple its London office space as it gears up for a big recruitment drive in 2020.
In April 2020, Checkout.com's 300-strong team will move from Fitzrovia to Wenlock Works, the site of a newly-refurbished Victorian warehouse, minutes from Silicon Roundabout and the underground stations of Old Street and Angel.
The move will triple the firm's office space, from 18,000 sq ft to 63,800 sq ft, after the UK business doubled its staff numbers from 155 in 2018 to 300 by the end of this year.
The payment processor expects to employ 600 people in London by the end of 2020, hiring across engineering, commercial and product teams over the next year.
The expansion plans come on the back of a $230 million capital raise in May. The seven-year old company offers direct access to domestic acquiring across payment methods and geographies, including all major credit and debit cards, online banking, PayPal, Apple Pay and other eWallets via a single, integrated platform with built-in fraud management tools, analytics and reporting features. Customers include Adidas, Virgin Active, EasyGroup, TransferWise and Yoyo Wallet.
Guillaume Pousaz, Checkout.com's CEO and founder, says: "The UK is home to the largest e-commerce market in Europe and we are proud to provide payments to many of the country's biggest brands and businesses. Over the past year, we have also continued to expand our operations internationally, with a presence in ten countries."

Gap Harnesses Hatred of New Gap Logo
Drea Knufken October 7, 2010, 8:02 am 65 Views
Gap's redesigned logo, featured above in its full glory, is so detested that someone created a Twitter vent feed for it. AdFreak, however, speculates that the logo is "intentionally shitty":
On its Facebook page, Gap now says it's planning a crowdsourcing project to collect your logo ideas, though the brand insists it likes its own one just fine. The post reads: "We've had the same logo for 20+ years, and this is just one of the things we're changing. We know this logo created a lot of buzz and we're thrilled to see passionate debates unfolding! So much so we're asking you to share your designs. We love our version, but we'd like to see other ideas." Was this planned from the beginning? Perhaps not. But at the very least, Gap is aware of your hatred (aka, "buzz") and has opened the door to the possibility of fixing the problem, with your help.
How to Choose the Best Window Installation Service
Is it just me, or does the new Gap logo actually kind of resemble the Facebook logo?

It's the point where you struggled.
And for me the end is far.
You saw me some time ago.
It's the point where your end was.
And for me it seems so far.
Nobody will ever see me falling.

Wondering why you keep calling.
Nobody will ever find me begging.
And i will find my own way.

Nobody will ever see me crying.
Because i trust in my way.

I am wondering why you feel so strong.
For me it all seems the same.

Nnamdi Kanu's Lawyer Says South East Politicians Are Cowards
Barrister Ifeanyi Ejiofor, a lawyer to the leader of the Indigenous Peoples Of Biafra, Nnamdi Kanu, enraged with politicians in Southeast for taking sides with the Nigerian government on the proscription of IPOB, has labelled all politicians especially Governors as cowards for not supporting the demands for IPOB.
by Saharareporters, New York Oct 04, 2017
Barrister Ejiofor, who has been the legal counsel to Nnamdi Kanu and Indigenous Peoples Of Biafra (IPOB), disclosed to SaharaReporters during an interview that politicians in South Eastern part of the country did not support Nnamdi Kanu because they are more concerned about securing their political positions. He added that the politicians prefer to do this at the expense of backing the cause championed by Nnamdi Kanu. He claimed the current crops of politicians in the region of the country would be swept out of office in the next general election in 2019.
"Southeast governors have no power to say IPOB is a terrorist and that is very certain. I condemned it, and they've withdrawn it saying they never at any point say that. What they said is a political statement to obtain favor from the federal government." Barrister Ejiofor said.
The lawyer added, "Some of them are cowards and are saying that because they want to secure their political offices. We will mobilise youths who will come out in 2019 to sweep out all of the politicians."
Responding to claim made by a former governor Abia, Orji Uzor Kalu who said Nnamdi Kanu had left the shores of the country after the attack on his house by military personnel. Barrister Ifeanyi asserted that Mr. Kalu is concerned about causing harm and unrest in the country.
The former Governor of Abia State said he spoke with one of the relatives of the missing IPOB leader who revealed to him Nnamdi Kanu is now in London. Reacting to this, the Barrister said, "Orji Uzor Kalu is a politician who I believe is looking for an avenue to get favour from the government and that is why he is saying what he is not sure of."
"I asked if he was there with the rampaging soldiers when the premises was invaded? He was not there. Also, he said my client went to London through Malaysia. Travelers will tell you it is not possible for somebody to travel to Malaysia and from there to the United Kingdom, it is not possible. Kalu's statement is false and targeted at causing mischief because the military knows they have my client." The lawyer for the group said.
The lawyer affirmed that Mr. Kalu has not spoken with any relatives of Nnamdi Kanu since the attack took place.
"I can authoritatively confirm that no member of my client's family spoke to him and that is certain. He does not have access to any of his relatives whether brother or sister."
Barrister Ifeanyi, commenting on the attack and shooting that took place in Nnamdi Kanu's residence, he insisted that the military is working together with the federal government and Hausa leaders. He opined that the action is targeted at alienating the Igbos and to silence demand for Biafra.

He said, "This is a Northern agenda to cleanse the entire igbos. Those who are demanding for Biafra do not wield weapons nor carry arms. The army is following the ploy to forcefully capture Nnamdi Kanu and silence his supporters. There are other people like the herdsmen who walk about with AK-47s, but the government has not deployed the military against them."
Convinced that Nnamdi Kanu is in the custody of the military, Barrister Ejiofor demanded his client be released whether he is dead or alive.
"The attack was properly mapped because they came to inspect the house two days before they struck. They shot at everyone and everything in the premises including dogs and cars. They entered the bedroom, and bullet holes can be seen all over the walls. I'm very sure they are with him, and I have petitioned the military to ensure they produce him dead or alive. He is a prince, and if he is dead, they should release his body for a befitting burial. I have said and still insisting that the military must produce him on the next adjourned court date."
Nnamdi Kanu has been missing with whereabout unknown since the attack on his house by the Nigeria military on September 14. However, the military has denied invading the home of the IPOB leader and insisting they don't have him custody

In addition to my thesis show/work, thesis statement, presentation and such I am working on a book that showcases the concepts of the thesis show. It will be an edition of 15. Five of the books will go to my thesis jury as a gift during my defense. And the rest will be for sale.
The book is going to have proofs of some of my prints in it, some digitally printed type and the rest typeset on the letterpress. It will be made of synergy bond paper, rice paper, and several other papers. It will have large empty sections where the "owner" of the book can take notes, or use it as a journal. Overall a fun/exciting project. Of course a LOAD of work. So I got a few pages done yesterday on the letterpress.. here some sample shots.
2. i love you for being crazy...i mean a book-really???
4. how much will they be?

Q: For loops not completing in python 3 Discord.py bot mass DM failing For some reason or another, on my discord.py bot for-loops don't seem to want to complete. The point of the loop is to send the same message to about 20 users. The problem is that some users aren't getting these messages and I'm fairly confident that the problem is in the loop.
for server_member in ctx.message.server.members:
    await client.send_message(server_member, message)

I don't have much experience with for-loops so in my eyes this seems like the most likely problem.
This is the error code left behind after every attempt to send the message.
Ignoring exception in command massdm
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\%myuseraccount%\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python36-

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

raise CommandInvokeError(e) from e
discord.ext.commands.errors.CommandInvokeError: Command raised an exception:
Forbidden: FORBIDDEN (status code: 403): Cannot send messages to this user

A: Discord users have the ability to prevent direct messages from servers they chosen. The for-loop itself isn't the problem, your bot can't message people who disabled the following:

(The same apply for desktop discord)
This is why discord.py is raising this error:
Forbidden: FORBIDDEN (status code: 403): Cannot send messages to this user

You need to catch this error so that the loop keeps going, and message every other users:
for server_member in ctx.message.server.members:
    try:
        await client.send_message(server_member, message)
    except discord.Forbidden:
        pass


I just saw the latest round of Lacoste advertising and I am beyond excited. The 'short film' shows the potential future of the Lacoste polo – one which changes colour at the swipe of a logo and changes shape at the pinch of a shoulder. I know this is all future fantasy land, but how cool would it be if it were possible?
In terms of advertising it is a fantastically clever move. The world is falling apart at the moment and if journalists are to be believed it will not get better any time soon. So what is an international brand to do?
Well, instead of advertising the same unchanged and overpriced polo you imagine what it might become. Some of this magic is then transferred to the current offering = sales. You also then get people paying for the potential future of Lacoste = sales. And you will inevitably get stupid people buying a polo that they think will change colour at the touch of a crocodile = sales.


Mid-Life Italy Not really a crisis … more of a major overhaul!
Chiacchierare – meaning 'to chit-chat'. I love the sound of this word, and the meaning is very important to me. I've said before that I never expected to be able to just pass the time talking to people here in Italy, as I always thought the language would be too difficult to use in this fashion. Turns out that chit-chatting comes as naturally to me in Italian as it does in English, making me a great chiacchierone!
Decespugliatore – not that we use one regularly now that Marcus is happier swinging a falce when it comes to cutting the grass but this is the word for a 'strimmer'. The word cespuglio means 'bush' so I remember this as a de-bushing machine!
Chiodo di garofano – A garofano is a 'carnation' and a chiodo is a 'nail', so you'd be forgiven for thinking that this is a nail of a carnation (which would look like what exactly?) After a long conversation with some friends to try and explain this word we finally hit the 'nail', or chiodo, on the head when we said 'clove'. They were telling us how they made mulled wine and it took us a long while to guess this spice.
Mozzafiato – meaning 'breathtaking', for example when seeing one of the many fantastic views here in Italy. It literally means to chop off one's breath – mozzare 'to cut off', and il fiato 'breath'.
Coccolare – to me this word sounds like what is describes, in this case 'to cuddle'. 'To have a cuddle' is fare una coccola, and a term of endearment, similar to the word 'darling' is cocco. However it also means 'coconut' so make sure the person you say it to knows your intentions!
Abbastanza – this means 'enough, fairly or quite'. For example un vino abbastanza dolce is 'quite a sweet wine'. It's a lovely, soft sounding word compared to its shorter cousin basta which, at the cheese counter in the supermarket when you've asked for 200g of something and they weigh out 198g means 'That's fine, no more'. However with a little more exclamation Basta! becomes 'Enough! That'll do!' Which is what us Yorkshire folk say when we ask for 200g and they give us 202g!
Dondolare – means 'to rock or swing' and dondolarsi literally means 'to swing yourself' (the si at the end of the word making it something you do to yourself) so means 'to sway'. Un cavallo a dondolo is therefore a 'rocking horse'.
Magari – A lovely exclamation meaning 'If only it was true' or, more pessimistically 'Yeah, right'. The pronunciation is long and soft … Magggaaari!
Menefreghismo – is a 'couldn't care less attitude'. The phrase Non mi frega niente is usually accompanied by a flick of the hand under, and then away from, the chin, or sometimes you'll see just the gesture itself. If you're on the receiving end of this, you may want to turn your attention to something, or someone, else.
Abbiocco – 'the drowsiness that follows after eating a big meal'. The word itself is lovely but it also appeals to me that there is a single word the Italians use to say 'I'm stuffed to bursting and I want to go and sleep it off!' It had to exist here in Italy with all of its delicious food!
And the longest word in the Italian language? Precipitevolissimevolmente – meaning 'in a way like someone that acts very hastily'. It is built from the word precipitevole which means 'hasty', then precipitevolissimo which means 'very hasty'. It is not grammatically correct but is part of the language and is sometimes used in jokes. It's a tricky one to remember so I think I'll leave the joke telling for now and stick to being a chatterbox!
Ciao Tommaso. Thank you for your comment, and your correction … I'm always happy to learn! And your English is very good but I think, like me, you have the desire to learn more and not just your 'everyday' words. Always happy to help if you want to check anything.
Hi there! I'm a Yorkshire lass who 'upped sticks' and moved to live in Liguria, Northern Italy with my husband and 20 year old cat. After hitting our 40's we wanted to shake our lives up a bit so sold our house in the UK, boxed up anything we wanted to keep to put into storage, bought a caravan and a Land Rover Defender and set off in search of the next chapter of our lives. And we've found our new life here, in a new country with a new language, new rules and new experiences. I love cooking and eating, reading and writing, gardening and renovating houses ... all of which I'll be putting to good use over the next few months and years ...! I hope you enjoy reading my ramblings - I would love to hear your comments, and if you want more information on a particular subject, feel free to contact me via email ... just visit my 'Contact Me' page.

Etienne Schneider attends meetings in Turkey to discuss economic relations
22nd March 2017 Politics 31084
Economic Minister Etienne Schneider
Economic Minister Etienne Schneider has attended meetings in Turkey to discuss bilateral economic relations.
The Joint Economic and Trade Commission (JETCO) was held in Istanbul with Turkey Economic Minister Nihat Zeybekçi.
During the meeting, Schneider highlighted the importance of respecting the rule of law and fundamental freedom, particularly in the current political context.
He said: "It is essential that Turkey respects its international commitments in terms of freedom of expression, in particular of the press, which constitutes an essential component of every democratic society."
He also said it was important to build a favourable business environment to develop foreign investors' trust.
He added: "It is undeniable that, in the absence of political previsibility and stability, it is very difficult to preserve a favourable business climate."
Concerning the increasing tension between Turkey and some EU member states, Schneider argued in favour of verbal de-escalation.

We request you to read the full article because soon we will reveal every detail of this severe car accident. So, please keep reading the Sand Springs Car Accident article very carefully.
What actually happened?
On 15th September, Thursday, a severe car accident took place near Sand Springs Lake. According to the Sand Springs Police, the accident was a single-car crash. The main cause of the accident was the speed of the car. The car turned off the road, overturned, and struck a tree near Colony Drive and Park Road.
Now comes the most heart-wrenching part of the news. Because of this fatal accident, three Charles Page High School students lost their lives. There were a total of six people during the Sand Springs Crash.
Consequences of this accident:
At around 12:40 p.m., the Sand Springs Police got a call from the accident spot. Three teenage girls and two teenage boys were in the car. One male student and two female students lost their lives at the accident scene, and the Police admitted the other two students and the driver to a nearby hospital.
Police later confirmed that all of them were Charles Page High School's students. The other two students and the driver are in critical condition. We will pray for their soonest recovery.
Reason for the Sand Springs Wreck:
The Sand Springs Police believed that the car's speed was the main reason behind this accident. Except for high speed, there were no such issues found in the vehicle. The Sand Springs Police also mentioned that none of them were wearing seatbelts. The three students who lost their lives were in the backseat of the car, and the other two, who somehow managed to survive were in the car's front seat. But none of them were wearing seatbelts. Because of such mistakes and over-speed, three teenage students lost their lives.
What does the Sand Springs community say?
Sand Springs High School released a statement because of this fatal car accident. In that statement, they mentioned that their community had suffered a devastating loss, and with heavy hearts, they confirmed the death of the three students of Charles Page High School.

When Adrian Patten, co-founder of FX blockchain project Cobalt, pitches to banks these days, he chooses his words carefully.
In a move that may do much to validate Gartner's finding this week that blockchain hype cycle is entering the so-called "trough of disillusionment," Patten admitted he rarely brings up the technology, choosing instead to focus on the cost savings Cobalt can bring without the benefit of some of the most popular buzzwords of the last few years.
"We try not to mention blockchain or DLT too much in case it complicates matters," he said.
In Patten's view, many financial firms have taken a "me too" approach with blockchain, exemplified by things like the herd of banks joining the R3 consortium. In addition, most are probably invested in too many proofs-of-concept, he said.
"They tend to think, if everybody else is in it, they ought to be in it, just in case a board member asks them what they are doing in blockchain," he continued.
The result is that people have rushed into DLT looking to use the technology rather than considering its process requirements, message requirements and whether it actually works, added Patten. But Cobalt, which created custom distributed ledger tech for its particular post-trade use case, is not alone.
There are other companies out there with live systems that are actually doing stuff, such as Baton Systems, also in the FX space with DLT, but who are using it less publicly, or at least not letting the technology dominate their messaging.
Seeing successful firms without blockchain front and center could be viewed as refreshing, or perhaps a source of misgiving. Forrester Research projects there will be a pruning, with 90 percent of blockchain projects with a flabby business focus ultimately shutting down in the coming years.
Ready to embrace the disillusionment, some firms don't mind even admitting they used the term "blockchain" when in fact they were using some of its key elements, without the hype mantle, for quite some time.
Back before the bitcoin white paper was released, Guardtime was developing its Keyless Signatures Infrastructure (KSI) which uses concepts like linked time-stamping (integral to bitcoin) to eliminate the need for trusted third parties or cryptographic keys to verify data.
As the blockchain gold rush gathered pace around him, Guardtime CEO Mike Gault said he got caught up with the perceived benefits of aligning his company with the blockchain movement.
Guardtime, which boasts a broad range of users from shipping giant Maersk to the U.K.'s NHS (National Health Service), is very different from ethereum, noted Gault, but the end result is the same: a single source of truth and immutability.
Gault also derided "crypto zealots who think everything has to be decentralized," a view which he says is "totally irrelevant for enterprise." "We will have no problem doing a quick marketing switch when 'blockchain' becomes a negative, in order to return focus to our own category of KSI technology," Gault continued.
"There will be a turning point, especially in enterprise where there are zero production use cases. People are going to see the emperor has no clothes," he said.
"The idea that every message and every part of a life cycle is going to be encrypted and decrypted when it already exists in hundreds of databases in clear text format is somewhat naive," he said.
So how does the idea of side-stepping the blockchain evangelists resonate with a bank's blockchain department? Turns out, the sentiment appears to be trending.
Sointu is perhaps not a typical blockchain evangelist, however.
After being brought in at Nordea midway through last year, he gathered the blockchain team under one roof and shut down almost all the prototyping. Nordea has narrowed its efforts down to We.Trade, plus a real estate pilot with the Finnish government, and a corporate identity blockchain, which has now passed the proof-of-concept stage.

De Google Lunar X Prize (GLXP), ook wel Moon 2.0 genoemd, was een prijs van 20 miljoen Amerikaanse dollar voor de eerste particuliere maanlanding. De prijs zou worden uitgeloofd aan het team dat als eerste een onbemand voertuig (een zogenaamde rover) op het oppervlak van de Maan kon landen. Deze moest zich dan minstens 500 meter over de Maan voortbewegen en hogedefinitie-foto's en -videobeelden terugsturen naar de Aarde.

De prijs was beschikbaar gesteld door de X Prize Foundation, dat ook de Ansari X Prize uitloofde voor het eerste particulier ontwikkelde, herbruikbare ruimtevaartuig. Deze prijs van 10 miljoen dollar werd in 2004 gewonnen door het experimentele ruimtevliegtuig SpaceShipOne van het bedrijf Scaled Composites.

De aanvankelijke deadline was 2015. Als geen enkel team vóór het eind van dat jaar de missie met succes zou volbrengen, zou de prijs vervallen. De deadline werd uiteindelijk verschoven naar 31 maart 2018. Op 23 januari 2018 werd duidelijk dat geen enkele deelnemer die deadline ging halen en er geen prijs meer wordt uitgereikt. Wat er met het gereserveerde bedrag gebeurt is niet bekend.

Ondanks dat er geen prijs meer wordt uitgereikt, gaan de deelnemende bedrijven door met de ontwikkeling van een maanlander. Het Israëlische SpaceIL heeft op 22 februari 2019 hun maanlander Beresjiet gelanceerd.

Prijzen
Er was in totaal 30 miljoen dollar aan prijsgeld beschikbaar gesteld door het internetbedrijf Google. Naast de hoofdprijs van 20 miljoen dollar was er een prijs van 5 miljoen voor de tweede plaats en een reeks bonusprijzen voor het bereiken van specifieke doelen, waaronder meer dan 5 kilometer over het Maanoppervlak voortbewegen; water ontdekken; 's nachts opereren; en als eerste foto's en videobeelden terugsturen van een landingsplaats van een Apollo-maanlander. Er was ook een prijs van 1 miljoen voor het team dat het meest doet om de etnische diversiteit binnen de exacte wetenschappen te verbeteren.

Naast de officiële prijzen had Space Florida, het ruimtevaartagentschap van de Amerikaanse deelstaat Florida, nog eens 2 miljoen uitgeloofd aan het winnende team als die haar ruimtemissie vanuit Florida lanceert.

Deelnemende teams
De 29 deelnemende teams waren afkomstig uit 17 verschillende landen.

Onder de teams bevond zich White Label Space. Dit internationale team opereert vanuit het hoofdkantoor van het Nederlandse lucht- en ruimtevaartbedrijf AOES Group BV in Noordwijk. Onder de partners en sponsors van het team bevond zich ook het in Den Haag gevestigde lucht- en ruimtevaartbedrijf Airborne Composites.

Van de deelnemende teams bleven uiteindelijk de volgende vijf finalisten over:

Geschiedenis
De prijs werd aangekondigd in Los Angeles op 13 september 2007, tijdens de NextFest-conferentie van het tijdschrift Wired.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20090504082918/http://wired.com/science/space/magazine/15-10/ff_moon "Google Offers $20 Million X Prize to Put Robot on Moon", Wired''', 13 september 2007]</ref>

Oorspronkelijk zou de NASA de prijs financieren, eventueel samen met andere nationale en internationale ruimtevaartorganisaties als de Europese Ruimtevaartorganisatie en de Japanse ruimtevaartorganisatie. Toen er bezuinigd werd op het budget van NASA, legde het agentschap het idee voor aan Larry Page en Sergey Brin van Google. Zij besloten om niet alleen de prijs te financieren, maar ook het prijsgeld te verhogen van 20 naar 30 miljoen dollar.

De deadline voor deelname was 31 december 2010. In totaal meldden 35 teams zich aan, waarvan 6 zich later weer terugtrokken of zich bij andere teams voegden.

Op 3 augustus 2016 kreeg het bedrijf Moon Express als eerste een vergunning van de Amerikaanse luchtvaartautoriteiten om op de Maan te landen. Internationale wetgeving vereist dat commerciële ruimtevaartbedrijven toestemming van nationale luchtvaartautoriteiten uit het land waar het hoofdkantoor gevestigd is, verkrijgen voor landingen op hemellichamen, om zo vervuiling of vergiftiging van een hemellichaam door menselijk toedoen te voorkomen.

 Gerelateerde prijzen
De Northrop Grumman Lunar Lander Challenge is een jaarlijkse wedstrijd voor raketten die met succes kunnen opstijgen vanaf de Maan en weer landen op het Maanoppervlak. De competitie, georganiseerd door de X Prize Foundation, wordt sinds 2006 gehouden.

De NASA heeft een aantal prijzen aangekondigd die te vergelijken zijn met de Google Lunar X Prize. Deze Centennial Challenges zijn bedoeld om particuliere Amerikaanse initiatieven in onder meer ruimtevaart en robotica te stimuleren.

Andere uitgeloofde prijzen van de X Prize Foundation zijn de Archon X Prize (voor het eerste team dat in 10 dagen de sequencing van 100 menselijke DNA-genomen kan uitvoeren voor minder dan 10.000 dollar per genoom) en de Automotive X Prize (voor het team dat als eerste een superzuinige auto ontwikkelt die 100 miles per gallon'' (2.35 liter/100 kilometer) kan halen.

Sacklers withdrew over $10 billion in a decade from Purdue Pharma - NYT
Reuters 17 December 2019

(Reuters) - The Sackler family - owners of Purdue Pharma - transferred more than $10 billion in a decade from the OxyContin maker to its trusts and holding companies, the New York Times reported on Monday, citing a new audit commissioned by the drugmaker.
The audit, which was prepared by consulting firm Alix Partners, is likely to add further scrutiny on how much the Sackler family should pay to resolve lawsuits that Purdue Pharma face regarding the U.S. opioid epidemic, the New York Times added.
Lawsuits filed by state and local governments allege Purdue and the Sacklers contributed to a public health crisis that has claimed the lives of nearly 400,000 people since 1999 by aggressively marketing opioids while downplaying their addiction and overdose risks.
The audit showed that from 2008 through 2017, Purdue's payouts to the Sackler family totaled $10.7 billion, the report said. The auditors reported that they did not know how much cash distributed to the Sacklers was actually used to pay taxes.
"We need full transparency into their total assets and must know whether they sheltered them in an effort to protect against creditors and victims," New York Attorney General Letitia James said.
Purdue reaped up to $13 billion in profits to Sackler family, the U.S. states said in October, opposing efforts to halt lawsuits alleging the company and its owners helped fuel the epidemic.
"We are committed to holding the Sacklers responsible for the role they played in fueling the opioid crisis and will not stop fighting until we have achieved justice for victims," James said.
The drugmaker had filed for bankruptcy protection in September to pause thousands of lawsuits while it tries to build support for a proposed settlement it estimates is worth $10 billion.
The audit report was filed on Monday evening in bankruptcy court in White Plains, New York, the New York Times said.

Though DCs are often seen simply as a revenue-raising tool, the reality is that they have broader impacts, including their important role in shaping urban development patterns. Given these broader impacts, there is a need to ensure that development charges do not undermine other Provincial and municipal planning objectives, policies and investments. This means ensuring that DCs – both in their pricing structure and the spending of revenues raised– do not inadvertently discourage a transit-supportive development pattern and the desired shift from auto dependence to transit travel. It is especially important, as the Province moves forward with the $50 billion Let's Move transit investment program, to encourage an efficient, transit-supportive urban form, so that those transit investments succeed in attracting large numbers of new riders.
The Development Charges Act lays out some basic requirements around issues such as setting the charge, and accounting practices for funds raised. However, at present there is no policy framework, guidance or mechanism to ensure that DCs are aligned with other Provincial policies and objectives.
Billions of dollars are raised and spent through the DC Act in Ontario. The most recent data shows about $1.3 billion raised and spent in 2011 across Ontario municipalities. Individual municipalities establish their own investment priorities. But individual municipalities' infrastructure investments must also add up to a land use pattern that supports investments in regional transit.
If at the municipal level there is a continued over-emphasis on greenfield development and related infrastructure, the success of planned Big Move transit investments could be undermined.
Along with the location of DC-funded investments, the type of infrastructure being invested in at the municipal level can also affect the ultimate viability and efficiency of Provincial transit investments. The relative scale of investment in roads versus transit is critical. For example, in 2011, $546 million of funds raised through development charges in Ontario municipalities was spent on roads, compared to just $85 million on transit – more than 6 times as much on roads as transit. If the City of Toronto, where much transit investment is taking place, is taken out of the equation, the numbers are $536 million spent on roads versus $71 million on transit, that is, almost 8 times as much on roads as on transit. Perpetuating a car-dependent urban form as they do, current spending levels on roads cannot continue if we hope to effect a shift to transit.
It is important to ensure that when its collective impact is considered across urban regions, municipal DC spending is consistent with broader planning, investment and transportation objectives. This alignment is not required under existing DC Act provisions. Nor is current spending of municipal DC revenues necessarily consistent with broader provincial objectives, such as the Big Move, a shift to transit, and Places to Grow. To not secure this policy coordination is to risk wasting billions of dollars through underperforming infrastructure investments.
While there is of course a need to allow municipalities to respond to their own local needs and conditions, it is also important to keep the broader regional and Provincial context in mind. A mechanism is needed to ensure that DCs align with broader Provincial objectives.
The Province has a clear interest in DCs. This should be stated explicitly and a mechanism put in place to effectively coordinate municipal DCs with other provincial interests, investments, policies and objectives. A mechanism similar to that used in the Planning Act could be adopted – provincial policy statements.
Amend the Development Charges Act to allow for a definition of the Provincial interest, and the use of Provincial Policy Statements that elucidate the Province's interest and expectations of municipalities regarding the structuring of DCs, the preparation of infrastructure capital budgets, and the spending of DC funds.

Hubert Durrett Stephens (July 2, 1875 –March 14, 1946) was an American politician who served as a Democratic United States Senator from Mississippi from 1923 until 1935.
The United States of America (USA), commonly known as the United States or America, is a country comprising 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and various possessions. At 3.8 million square miles, the United States is the world's third or fourth largest country by total area and is slightly smaller than the entire continent of Europe. With a population of over 327 million people, the U.S. is the third most populous country. The capital is Washington, D.C., and the most populous city is New York City. Most of the country is located contiguously in North America between Canada and Mexico.
Mississippi is a state located in the southeastern region of the United States. Mississippi is the 32nd largest and 34th-most populous of the 50 United States. Mississippi is bordered to the north by Tennessee, to the east by Alabama, to the south by the Gulf of Mexico, to the southwest by Louisiana, and to the northwest by Arkansas. Mississippi's western boundary is largely defined by the Mississippi River. Jackson is both the state's capital and largest city. Greater Jackson, with an estimated population of 580,166 in 2018, is the most populous metropolitan area in Mississippi and the 95th-most populous in the United States.
Stephens was born in New Albany, Mississippi. He graduated from the University of Mississippi law school and soon began to practice law in New Albany.
New Albany is a city in Union County, Mississippi, United States. The population was 8,034 at the 2010 census. New Albany is the county seat of Union County. New Albany was first organized in 1840 at the site of a grist mill and saw mill on the Tallahatchie River and was developed as a river port. New Albany is the birthplace of author William Faulkner as well as Eli Whiteside and Bettie Wilson and the adopted home of Morris Futorian, father of the Northeast Mississippi furniture industry. As of 2010 New Albany has a population of 8,526 and is known for its education system, well-educated labor force and strong work ethic. The city houses modern factories, robust neighborhoods and vibrant shopping centers, while at the same time preserving its historic downtown area.
The University of Mississippi is a public research university in Oxford, Mississippi. Including the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, it is the state's largest university by enrollment and is the state's flagship university. The university was chartered by the Mississippi Legislature on February 24, 1844, and four years later admitted its first enrollment of 80 students. The university is classified as an "R1: Doctoral University—Very High Research Activity" by the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education and has an annual research and development budget of $121.6 million.
A law school is an institution specializing in legal education, usually involved as part of a process for becoming a lawyer within a given jurisdiction.
Stephens served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1911 to 1921; in his final term he did not run for re-election, but he was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1922. In 1934, he was defeated by Theodore Bilbo in the primary.
The United States House of Representatives is the lower house of the United States Congress, the Senate being the upper house. Together they compose the national legislature of the United States.
Theodore Gilmore Bilbo was an American politician who twice served as governor of Mississippi and later was elected a U.S. Senator (1935–47). A filibusterer whose name was synonymous with white supremacy, like many Southern Democrats of his era, Bilbo believed that black people were inferior; he defended segregation, and was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
Primary elections or often just primaries, are the process by which voters can indicate their preference for their party's candidate, or a candidate in general, in an upcoming general election, local election, or by-election, with the goal of narrowing the field of candidates. Depending on the country and administrative divisions within the country, voters might consist of the general public in what is called an open primary, or the members of a political party in what is called a closed primary. In addition to these, there are other variants on primaries that are used by many countries holding elections throughout the world.
Stephens was the director of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation from 1935 to 1936. After that, he practiced law in Washington, D.C. before retiring to his Mississippi farm in 1941.
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation (RFC) was a government corporation administered by the United States Federal Government between 1932 and 1957 that provided financial support to state and local governments and made loans to banks, railroads, mortgage associations, and other businesses. Its purpose was to boost the country's confidence and help banks resume daily functions after the start of the Great Depression. The RFC became more prominent under the New Deal and continued to operate through World War II. It was disbanded in 1957, when the US Federal Government concluded that it no longer needed to stimulate lending.
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and commonly referred to as Washington or D.C., is the capital of the United States. Founded after the American Revolution as the seat of government of the newly independent country, Washington was named after George Washington, the first president of the United States and a Founding Father. As the seat of the United States federal government and several international organizations, Washington is an important world political capital. The city, located on the Potomac River bordering Maryland and Virginia, is one of the most visited cities in the world, with more than 20 million tourists annually.
A farm is an area of land that is devoted primarily to agricultural processes with the primary objective of producing food and other crops; it is the basic facility in food production. The name is used for specialised units such as arable farms, vegetable farms, fruit farms, dairy, pig and poultry farms, and land used for the production of natural fibres, biofuel and other commodities. It includes ranches, feedlots, orchards, plantations and estates, smallholdings and hobby farms, and includes the farmhouse and agricultural buildings as well as the land. In modern times the term has been extended so as to include such industrial operations as wind farms and fish farms, both of which can operate on land or sea.

Today's reality is that most enterprises are using multiple cloud providers, but that use isn't integrated or coordinated. To realize the benefits of real hybrid cloud operations, they have to invest in management systems and adapt processes and procedures. The cost and extent of change can be hard to estimate and that can hold off what are necessary advances. This session will define the issues and look at the results of the second stage of the benchmark study that's been undertaken by the ONUG Hybrid Multi-Cloud Working Group and 451 Research. We'll explore the intricacies of making hybrid really work and look at peer data on costs that can help to drive decisions. True hybrid cloud can deliver significant competitive advantages and help to optimize infrastructure spending. Getting there isn't easy, but it can be worth it, if you invest wisely. We'll cover what you need to know and share valuable experiences.
