- I added a jnlp_embedded parameter to the applet of the Online version to prevent displaying a new security warning that appeared during its execution.
Anyway, there are no changes for the installer version, right?
By the way, I forgot to mention that the Online version doesn't seem to work well under Mac OS X when run with Java 7u25 and 6u51. Under Java 7u25, mouse moves in the 3D view don't work well, and under Java 6u51, mouse clicks and moves have no effect in the whole applet (I wonder if it's not a remaining bug in the update released last week by Apple).
I downloaded the current version and installed it. I have Java 7u25 installed. I am unable to update my video drivers so I installed the java.ini file as specified in the FAQ. The program starts but I get two warning messages and then the program shuts down before I can even turn off 3D rendering. Does the .ini need to be updated for the 4.1 version? It worked fine adding the .ini file to the program files foler on prior versions but not on this update.
SeaBorn, I'm not sure I understand your issue. First you post a message in a thread that speaks about version 4.1 Rev A that is about Java Web Start and the Online version only. That means that the .ini file doesn't influence its way of working.
At the opposite, if you're running the installer version, there was no updates since version 4.1 and the installed version of Java is not used since the installer version comes with its own private (not available for other purpose) version of Java.
So please, give more details about what version you run.
Sorry about the mispost. I did not realize this was for the Online version only. The issue that I have is with the installer version, specifically the file called 'SweetHome3D-4.1-windows-oc.exe'. I downloaded this file and installed it. The program starts but I get two warning messages and then the program shuts down before I can even turn off 3D rendering. Even adding the file 'SweetHome3D.l4j' to the Program Files folder will not allow the program to run. I am running Windows Vista Business, Service Pack 2.
Then you should really try to update the driver of your video card.

So last night my d ad and I went to the store to buy yet another turkey. Yes this is turkey number 2! Thanks to our ward doing deep pit bbq the night before thanksgiving, we always have two turkeys. One roasted and one bar-be-qued. None the less I think we are having 3 turkey's this year! How insane.. But anyways..
I told my dad how I wanted to make apple pies again this year. He looked at me like I was crazy! But what came out of his mouth was "With real apples?".. Yes Yes of coarse! So this afternoon we went back to the store and I got my apples, and crust stuff. I started peeling apples, and then my dad started helping. But I am super slow I guess so my papi ended up peeling like all of them in record time. Go dad! I decided I was going to put a apple cut out on each one. Turns out I only could make one semi good apple looking thing, one has a heart, and one has nothing. As I was attempting to make a second apple thing, my sister walks in and starts eating all the apple pieces out of the crust. And her comment was "Looks like this is going to the "little" pie!".. so thanks Katelyn for my "little pie"
But she deci ded since I was getting frustrated she was going to make me my apple cut out thing. Since we have no actual cookie cutter and I was doing it free hand, it was actual pretty difficult. But we just ended up laughing because her apple cut out made by her hands, and a flower cookie cutter.. Yes flower cookie cutter! Here's a picture of my apple cut out on my pie and her apple cut out just laying around. Hope you get some laughs out her silly apple cut out! Which by the way I did NOT use.. I am sure you don't wonder why!
little pie huh? i'm eating one myself then.

Sully is a biographical drama about the American hero Captain Chesley Sullenberger who landed a plane in the Hudson river. Sully was a US Airways pilot who on January 15, 2009, was leaving LaGuardia Airport with a packed plane. Only three minutes into the flight, a flock of birds ran into the Airbus A320, causing both engines to stop working. Along with First Officer Jeff Skiles, they had only seconds to make a decision on the future of hundreds of passengers. The air traffic controllers were giving them clearance on two air strips but Sully felt it was too far away. So, he decided to do an emergency water landing in front of him. During a hearing about the incident, with further investigation, it was concluded that Sully made the correct decision and saved hundreds of lives. No one had ever attempted to do this in the history of commercial aviation.
The film stars Tom Hanks as "Sully" and Aaron Eckhart as First Officer Jeff Skiles. It also has Laura Linney and Anna Gunn. It is directed by Clint Eastwood and has been nominated for an Academy Award for best sound editing.

The Difference Between Grant of Probate and Letters of Administration
What's the Difference Between Grant of Probate and Letters of Administration?
There is some confusion and misunderstanding about the probate process, so here we will explain the difference between a grant of probate and letters of administration.
When an individual dies their assets including any property that they own, their bank accounts, and all personal possessions that they leave behind are known as their estate. To be able to deal with the deceased's estate it will be necessary to obtain legal authority from the Probate Registry.
This legal authority that is issued by the Probate Registry is called a Grant of Representation which will allow whoever is dealing with the estate to close bank accounts, cash in investments and to sell or transfer property. The Grant of Representation comes in two different forms – either a Grant of Probate where an individual dies with a valid will or what is known as Letters of Administration, if the individual dies without a will.
A Grant of Probate will only be issued to the executors that are named in the Will. Once the executors have got the Grant of Probate they have the legal power to deal with the estate, and they can start to cash in assets and transfer them to the beneficiaries named in the Will. Some financial institutions may need to see a copy of the Will and the Grant of Probate before they release any funds as they need to be sure that the Will is valid and the named executors are the correct people responsible for dealing with the estate.
The Grant of Probate is legal confirmation that the Will is valid. Once the Grant has been issued, it means that the Will has been officially registered and the executors named in the Will are the only ones who have authority to deal with the estate.
Official Probate Form
Letters of Administration are similar to a Grant of Probate, but are issued instead to the next of kin of an individual who dies without a Will. Letters of Administration is the document issued by the Probate Registry to the administrators authorising them to deal with the estate. The authority to do this is not automatic, and it may be necessary to apply to the Court for Letters of Administration to confirm an entitlement to manage an estate, as there are certain financial institutions that require this.
This can cause problems if, for example, family members cannot agree who would be the best person to deal with the estate. Where there are such disputes, it is normal practise for the Court to get involved, and the financial costs involved in this can soon mount up.
Letters of Administration might also be issued where there is a valid Will, but the Executor named in the Will is not applying for a Grant of Probate. This could be because they do not want to act as executor, are not capable of doing so, or they have already passed away. Where this is the case, it is common for one of the main beneficiaries in the Will to apply for Letters of Administration instead.
Probate Registries
The offices that issue Grants of Probate and Letters of Administration are known as Probate Registries, and there are twelve such offices in England and Wales. The probate registry is responsible for making sure that the will is valid and the applicant is entitled to handle the estate of the deceased.
A probate registry decides the legal validity of a deceased person's Will and grants its approval, also known as granting probate, to the executors. This acts as proof that the executors have the authority they need to handle the estate of the deceased person.
When making a Will, you should think long and hard about the appointment of your executors. An executor needs to have the capability of managing a potentially complex process that can take a long time to complete.

Over a million people overcharged for Power of Attorneys
Over a million people have been overcharged for registering Power of Attorneys in the last few years.
If you paid to register a Power of Attorney in England or Wales between 1st April 2013 and 31st March 2017, then you are entitled to a refund of up to £54 as you were quite simply overcharged.
There is an application fee to register a Power of Attorney, which is set by the Ministry of Justice and paid to the Office of the Public Guardian. Between 2013 and 2017, the operating costs of the Office of the Public Guardian decreased, but the Power of Attorney application fee stayed the same for four whole years! As the fee is supposed to cover just the operating costs, the Government will now repay the difference between what applicants paid and what they should have paid, plus a small amount of interest; but only if they apply for the refund – the refund will not happen automatically.
The Ministry of Justice has confirmed that 1.7 million applications are affected. It's not clear exactly how many people are owed a refund, as many people will have registered both types of Power of Attorney, but it is certain that over a million people are affected, and are due a refund, and with the average refund of £40, there is over £40 million waiting to be refunded.
Apply For Your LPA Refund
You can make your own judgement as to the lack of efficiency here, and take your own view on the scandal of over one million people being overcharged, and why they are not being automatically refunded.
A Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) is a legal document which allows you, while you still have the mental capacity to do so, to nominate a trusted friend or relative to look after your affairs if or when you lose your mental capacity. There are two types of Power of Attorney, one for health and welfare, and one for property and financial affairs. Some people will have registered both types of Power of Attorney and so can thus claim a refund of up to £108.
How much you can reclaim depends on when you paid for the Power of Attorneys which is calculated on a sliding scale for all applications from April 2013 to March 2017.
You can make a claim if you were the person who made the Power of Attorney or you are the person appointed in the LPA; with the refund being paid to the person who made the LPA. You can claim a refund even if the Power of Attorney has been used.
You can claim a refund online via the gov.uk website, or by phoning the Office of the Public Guardian's helpline on 0300 456 0300. You don't need the Power of Attorney document itself, but you will need the person's name, address, date of birth, bank account number and sort code and the name of one of the people mentioned on the LPA.
Jenny Chase, wills specialist at Quick Will comments "If you did register an LPA during the period April 2013 to March 2017, we would hope that if you used a solicitor, a will writer or another organisation to help you complete the forms (for a fee) that they have been in touch with you to let you know you are entitled to a refund. If they haven't been in touch, perhaps you should consider whether they have your best interests at heart, and whether you should use them for anything else in the future."
Either way, do apply for a refund – you are entitled to it.

Wills and Probate Glossary
There are many terms that are used in relation to Wills and Probate, and here we explain some of these commonly used wills and probates terms in plain English.
The person who deals with the estate of a person who has died intestate (without a Will).
Apportionment
The proportionate division of a deceased's estate between certain beneficiaries.
Property, money and other belongings owned by the deceased.
A person, typically a lawyer, but not always, who is appointed to act for another in business or legal matters on their behalf.
Confirmation or verification. It is often used as a term when witnessing a signature.
Anyone or any organisation that is entitled to a share of the estate of the deceased.
Any gift left in a Will that is not land or buildings.
Capital Gains Tax (CGT)
This is a tax on the profit made when selling an asset.
Any movable personal property or belongings that is not used for business. Examples of personal chattels would be ornaments, jewellery, furniture, clothes and so on.
Codicil

Common Law Spouse
There is no such thing as a common law spouse in law.
The Court of Protection in English law is a superior court that has jurisdiction over the property, financial affairs and personal welfare of people who lack the mental capacity to make decisions for themselves.
Discretionary Trust
A trust where the trustee has the full power to decide when and to which beneficiaries are to receive their capital.
Domicile is a concept of general law. Domicile is distinct from nationality or residence. Broadly speaking your domicile is the country where you have your permanent home, and you can only have one domicile at any given time.
All the possessions of the person who has died, including all property, cars, investments, money and other belongings.
The persons or organisations appointed in the Will to administer an estate.
A transfer from one person to another without fair compensation in return. A legacy left to others in a Will.
The document issued by the Probate Registry to the executors to authorise them to deal with the estate.
Grant of Representation
The grant is a legal document issued by a court which confirms that the executor has the authority to deal with the deceased person's assets. This document must thus be obtained before the executors can start closing accounts and liquidating assets.
The person appointed by a parent or a court to have parental responsibility for a child under the age of 18 years.
Inheritance (Provision for Family and Dependants) Act 1975
This is the act that allows people to bring a claim for inadequate provision under the terms of a Will or intestacy. The act makes provision for empowering the court to make orders for provision for the spouse, former spouse, child, child of the family or dependant of that person.

Potentially Exempt Transfer
A gift made during one's lifetime that is exempt from Inheritance Tax if the donor lives for seven years after making the gift.
Authorisation to act on someone else's behalf.
Predeceased
Someone who dies before the person who has made the Will.
Probate is the official process that gives the executors of a Will the right to deal with the deceased's assets and property. It acts as proof that the executors have the authority they need to handle the estate of the deceased person. This legal procedure must be undertaken to establish that a Will is genuine and valid.

The term used when the testator decides to legally cancel their Will completely and invalidate the previous Will.
Tenant for Life
Property that is owned by two or more people. Joint tenants are usually husband and wife and in the event of the death of one tenant, the other automatically becomes the owner of the whole property.

Property that is owned jointly but each joint owner has a distinct share forming part of their estate on death which does not pass automatically to the surviving tenant.
Testamentary Expenses
The costs of obtaining the Grant of Probate or Letters of Administration and of administering the estate.
Testator
The person who sets out his wishes and requests as to how their estate should be divided in the form of a Will.
An arrangement set up by Will or deed with the trustees being appointed and given money or assets to hold and manage on behalf of the beneficiaries.
Someone who is given the legal responsibility to hold any assets until nominated beneficiaries meet certain criteria set out in the deceased's Will e.g. until a beneficiary reaches the age of 21. Trustees normally have powers to distribute monies and have full power to sell and invest. Trustees have duties to be loyal, prudent, impartial and to inform the beneficiaries of the trust.
A legally binding set of instructions indicating how someone wishes to dispose of their assets upon their death.
The persons who must be present to see the testator sign the Will. They must also sign the Will themselves and should not be beneficiaries of the Will.

Online Probate Service
The Probate Service has said that it is now accepting personal applications online, providing that the applications meet certain criteria.
If you are the executor of an estate in England and Wales, you can now apply online for probate using a new digital service launched by HM Courts and Tribunal Services. At first the service will only be available to personal applications from executors who are acting alone and have a copy of the original Will. If the Will has been updated with a codicil, the executor will still need to submit a paper application.
Applying For Probate Online
The Probate Service has said the online application form is easier to understand, but it has said applicants will need to provide supporting documents, including the original will and two photocopies, the death certificate and the associated inheritance tax forms.
How does the online probate service work?
The online probate service will allow an executor to submit details online to obtain a grant of probate. However, it is not a fully digital service just yet, as there is still a need to send through copies of the necessary paperwork, including copies of the Will and the Death Certificate. Applying online will of course save executors time, and there will no longer be a need to visit the probate office or a solicitor's office, and all the hassle that entails, to swear an oath.
How much does it cost to apply for probate?
When you apply for a grant of probate, you will need to pay a fee, which is currently set at £215. However, if the estate is worth less than £5,000 this fee is waived. With the new online probate service, you will be able to pay the probate fees online when you make your application. In time, it is expected to be cheaper to apply for probate online than via the post, and of course there will be no need to pay additional solicitors' fees.
Online services for more complex cases will be launched later this year, with The Probate Service saying: "We are looking to enhance this in the future, potentially through links with other departments to gather this information automatically as part of the process."
Jenny Chase one of the experts at leading UK online will writing company Quick Will says: "This will be a relief to those who apply for probate after a loved one dies. There will now be less red tape and anguish as people will no longer have to swear an oath in front of a solicitor. It is great news that this online probate service is now online, and it is yet another example of how the will writing industry is moving online."

What Is Probate
Probate is the name generally given to the process of administering someone's estate when they die. When someone dies, a formal Grant Of Probate must be obtained from a Probate Registry, which is part of the court system, to enable the estate to be collected in and divided amongst their beneficiaries. There are eleven Probate Registry Offices in England, and one in Wales.
Probate is used to describe both the Grant of Probate and the process involved in obtaining it. It includes making an Inheritance Tax return to HMRC and paying any tax due; collecting in the estate from banks, building societies and selling assets if necessary; finalising income tax affairs and pensions; preparing accounts for the estate and paying money due to beneficiaries; including making any gifts as outlined in the Will.
There are actually two types of grant: probate and letters of administration. Probate is granted when the deceased left a valid Will, and is granted in favour of one or all of the executors named in that will. Letters of administration are granted where the deceased did not leave a Will but most people still refer to this as probate because, although there are some differences in the process before the grant is issued, for all practical purposes, the two types of grant are the same.
Is probate necessary?
Where the estate is less than £5,000 and only includes cash funds held in deposit accounts, you would not normally need to obtain a grant of probate in order to obtain the money. However, where the estate is over £5,000 and includes certain assets, like property or shares, then a grant will need to be obtained before these assets can be ditributed to the beneficiaries named in the Will.
Who obtains probate?
If there is a Will, this responsibility falls to the executors named in the Will unless the executors do not want to act. Where there is not a Will, usually the next of kin are entitled to administer the estate and there are statutory rules about which family members that is.
The person who is going to obtain probate needs to access the deceased's bank accounts, investments and other assets in order to pay their debts, inheritance tax and distribute their estate. It is worth noting that no-one who has an interest in the estate of someone who has died can receive their inheritance until a grant has been obtained.
The probate process is generally carried out by the executor if there is a Will, or by a court-appointed representative if there is no Will.
The executors will need to obtain a Grant of Probate by applying to their local Probate Registry office. Once the grant of probate is issued, the executors are able to carry out their duties in dealing with the deceased's assets.
Applying For Prbate
Applying for a Grant Of Probate
There are three main stages in obtaining the grant:
1. Identifying and inventorying the deceased person's estate.
The executor will need to investigate the extent of the estate including gathering all information about the assets and liabilities of the person who died. The executor will need to contact the relevant banks, building societies, insurance companies and any other relevant organisations to obtain proper valuations of the deceased's home, other assets, including stocks and shares; and any liabilities, such as the mortgage.
2. Accounting and appraisal of the estate.
The executor will need to complete the inheritance tax return form, currently form IH205 or IHT207. They will also need to contact HMRC to establish the inheritance tax due. Depending upon the circumstances, an accountant or tax adviser might be helpful here to double check the numbers. Once the tax return has been completed in full and filed, the application to the Probate Registry should be made.
3. Filling Out The Probate Application Form
The Probate application form AP1 now needs to be completed. This form includes details of the inheritance tax that has been sent to HMRC. Along with the AP1 from, the executor will need to provide the original Will and three copies of the will together with an official copy of the death certificate. A visit to the the probate office is necessary for an 'interview' to take place to ensure everything is in order.
After Probate Has Been Granted
There needs to be a formal distribution of the remaining estate as the Will directs. This involves collecting in the assets, and paying the debts of the person who has died, and then distributing the remaining estate to the appropriate beneficiaries in accordance with the terms of the Will (or the statutory order of distribution if there is no Will), and producing final estate accounts for the beneficiaries and a final tax return for the deceased.
The hold up here is often selling the property, as that is normally the major asset; and it oftens take longer than people expect.
The probate process is relatively straightforward and is a lot less complex than people imagine. Do not be afraid to use specialist legal and tax experts though. However, a word of advice when using solicitors. Obtain a firm fixed price from them for the work you want them to do. Do NOT agree to an open ended pay-by-the-hour arrangement as they will then be incentivised to take longer than is necessary and longer than you would want. Please remember that most probate work is done without needing to employ solicitors, and most of the work involved with probate is administrative. It is often the case that you will be asked to provide the solicitor with extra paperwork and you will be charged £200 per hour or so for a non-qualified legal secretary to do the bulk of the work.
As previously stated, the probate process is relatively straightforward and is a lot less complex than people imagine. We hope that this probate guide has been useful, and welcome any comments.

The COP9 signalosome (CSN) is a conserved multiprotein complex, with an important developmental role in several organisms, ranging from plants to mammalians. The influence of the CSN on several signaling and developmental processes has been ascribed to its ability to regulate degradation of a number of signaling proteins by the ubiquitin-proteasome system. The CSN controls the function of the SCF ubiquitin-ligase complex through an enzymatic activity that removes the small ubiquitin-like molecule NEDD8 from the cullin component of the SCF and that requires subunit 5 of the CSN (JAB1/CSN5). Mutants of the CSN display early embryonic lethality, a feature that has hindered further characterization of the role of the CSN at later stages of mammalian development. Here we report the analysis of JAB1/CSN5 expression pattern in the mouse embryo. At early stages of development, JAB1/CSN5 transcripts were present with low expression levels in all tissues. Preferential expression in selected tissues was detected starting at E11.5, with higher levels in dorsal root ganglia; at later stages, prominent expression of JAB1/CSN5 transcripts was observed in cranial nerve, spinal and sympathetic ganglia, as well as in selected epithelia, such as the oral and the olfactory epithelium. In the adult brain, additional areas of JAB1/CSN5 expression were the hippocampus and the Purkinjie layer of the cerebellum. We also analyzed the temporal and spatial expression pattern of NEDD8, and found that it substantially overlapped JAB1/CSN5 expression at all stages analyzed, supporting the model of a functional interaction between the two proteins during developmental processes.

At least for the people who send me mail about a new language that they're designing, the general advice is: do it to learn about how to write a compiler. Don't have any expectations that anyone will use it, unless you hook up with some sort of organization in a position to push it hard. It's a lottery, and some can buy a lot of the tickets. There are plenty of beautiful languages (more beautiful than C) that didn't catch on. But someone does win the lottery, and doing a language at least teaches you something.
Tatsu (for grammar compiler) is a tool that takes grammars in a variation of EBNF as input, and outputs memoizing (Packrat) PEG parsers in Python.
Tatsu can compile a grammar stored in a string into a tatsu.grammars.Grammar object that can be used to parse any given input, much like the re module does with regular expressions, or it can generate a Python module that implements the parser.

Masters Of Cinema #68 - Red River - Blu-ray Review
It is difficult to come to the conclusion that I am anywhere near in love with Red River, because I am categorically not in love with John Wayne. In fact, during an unnecessary prologue, which bloats the film a little past two hours, Wayne's wooden machismo posturing was enough to nearly turn me off from Red River all together. In an opening speech to the lead of a caravan he has been travelling with, the actor is wooden not just of delivery, but of body. Watch his movements: he simultaneously both hardly shifts and manages to give off the impression that he doesn't want to be there.
A good thing though, that Wayne stuck around, and also a good thing that it's easy not to like him. His rancher Thomas Dunson is developed expertly by director Howard Hawks, from a gruff hard worker to borderline sociopath, bent on the destruction of his livelihood and family, on an ambitious cattle drive from Texas to Missouri.
Hawks, never one to pass up on the opportunity of a grand set piece, pock-marks the drive with a stampede and, late on, an Indian attack, but it's not in these moments that Red River excels; instead it is the quiet character-led ones, as Dunson moves to position himself against his employees and his adoptive son, Matt (Montgomery Clift). In the film's finale, when Dunson relents and brings Matt further into the fold, you get the impression that the 'thing' Matt has done is not to drive the cattle across the nation, but to succeed in standing up to the older man.
That finale is a large part of the reason why Red River is revered by so many. In a film which has told various women at various points that things are 'too much for them' and that to correct grievous slights of misogynist character-bashing they can hit the wrong-doer, 'if it would help any', what happens at the end is borderline shocking, as Tess (Joanne Dru) comes out of the shadows she was barely hiding in.
There's also so much of interest going on here that Hawks manages to make the long journey-led narrative, which progresses through familiar countryside at a mere ten miles a day, almost always interesting. When Matt and Dunson are being by turns spectacularly moody and spectacularly surly, Hawks has an ace up his sleeve in the guise of John Ireland's Cherry Valance. Crushingly given an unclear conclusion, Ireland keeps his gifted charge in charming wildcard mode, a near-invincible superhero, ready with a line and a gunshot. He's the heart and soul of the film when the heart and soul of the film are too busy arguing and he takes Red River towards greatness the majority of time he is on the screen.

Here is another very well made vintage style diver watch from Ticino. This watch features all stainless steel polished case with nice contours and feels very expensive when you touch it. It has Miyota 8215 automatic movement almost indestructible. The watch has double domed sapphire crystal and super lume dial. The bezel is ceramic and the bezel and it has a very good rotation action. The watch is water pressure tested to 20atm 660 feet so you can feel comfortable diving with it. The lume is very bright and lasts a few hours. We are sure you will absolutely love this watch and we offer full refund if not satisfied.
I just love this watch. Earlier this year, I decided to get a Seamaster Pro instead of a Seamaster 300 — and that was after a ton of hemming and hawing on the decision. For a while, I regretted it, until I received the Ticino Depthmaster in the mail. It's a well-made watch that scratches my Seamaster 300 itch, and it looks great on a Bond NATO strap. I've owned dozens of watches, and this one by far is the best value of any watch I've purchased. Simply put, you get a lot of watch for the money.

IEO Evaluation Report : IMF Financial Surveillance
Explore other countries and regions »
International Monetary Fund. Independent Evaluation Office
In response to the Global Financial Crisis, the IMF launched many initiatives to strengthen financial surveillance and better advise member countries of vulnerabilities and risks. While these initiatives have not yet been tested by a major crisis, the efforts have delivered a substantial upgrade of the Fund's financial surveillance, including giving the IMF clearer responsibilities over financial sector stability and cross-country spillovers; making periodic financial stability assessments mandatory for jurisdictions with systemically important financial sectors; invigorating efforts to integrate financial and macroeconomic analysis in bilateral and multilateral surveillance; enhancing cooperation with the Financial Stability Board and standard setting bodies to promote reforms and monitor agreed standards; and taking steps to recruit and train greater financial expertise. While recognizing these achievements, this evaluation finds that the quality and impact of the IMF's financial surveillance has been uneven. The expansion of products and activities has presented the Fund with difficult trade-offs between bilateral and multilateral surveillance; between countries with systemically important financial sectors and other member countries; and between financial surveillance and other activities. Moreover, resource constraints have slowed the needed build-up of financial and macrofinancial expertise. These are critical issues, given the IMF's position as the only international financial institution with the mandate and ability to conduct financial and macrofinancial surveillance over the full range of countries as well as the global economy, and given that these issues are at the core of the IMF's responsibilities. Thus, to further strengthen financial surveillance, the evaluation recommends devoting greater resources to financial surveillance overall; further strengthening financial and macrofinancial analysis in Article IV surveillance; refining resource allocation for FSAPs; enhancing rigor and transparency in multilateral surveillance; intensifying efforts to be a global center of excellence on financial and macrofinancial research; and extending efforts to develop financial expertise among IMF staff.

MCM Personnel Spending on Surveillance, FY2010–18
The goals and outputs of IMF financial surveillance have greatly expanded in the aftermath of the GFC with clear priority given to jurisdictions with systemically important financial sectors.2 For decades, the IMF's responsibilities and attention to financial systems increased gradually in response to periodic financial crises and a growing recognition that open capital accounts and financial liberalization tend to magnify contagion and spillovers. After the GFC, financial surveillance became more widely accepted as a central element of IMF work, enshrined in Board decisions and expanded activities, and a critical contributor to achieving the IMF's overall mandate. The GFC also made clear the need to focus financial surveillance on the countries with systemically important financial sectors, including those where the crisis originated.
Financial crises have largely driven the evolution of IMF financial surveillance. In response to the sequence of crises in emerging market economies (EMEs) in the 1990s, IMF surveillance greatly expanded the coverage of financial sector policies and conditions. These crises demonstrated increasing interconnections between financial vulnerabilities, economic activity and balance of payments, and the risk of spillovers. The IMF responded to these crises, particularly the 1997 East Asian crisis, by launching new vehicles to assess financial sector policies and conditions: the FSAP, the GFSR, and the Vulnerability Exercise for EMEs (VEE).3 These instruments paid particular attention to EMEs, seen as the main potential source of financial instability. The IMF also increased coverage of financial sector policies and conditions in Article IV consultations, as laid out in successive operational guidance notes for staff (e.g., IMF, 1997, 2002b, and 2005).
The FSAP was launched in 1999 jointly with the World Bank as a voluntary diagnostic tool. Its main goals were to identify financial stability and development challenges and to report on compliance with agreed standards and codes. The IMF summarizes the conclusions of each FSAP in a Financial System Stability Assessment (FSSA), which includes recommendations to be followed up on in subsequent Article IV consultations. In 2002, the GFSR replaced an earlier flagship report (the International Capital Markets Report), with a greater focus on assessing global financial markets and identifying vulnerabilities "that could pose a risk to financial market stability and sustained market access by emerging market borrowers" (IMF, 2002a).
In response to the GFC, the IMF launched many initiatives to expand and strengthen financial surveillance to better advise member countries of vulnerabilities and risks, and to foster greater resilience. Among these initiatives were: making FSAPs mandatory at least every five years for jurisdictions with systemically important financial sectors (currently 29 jurisdictions, the S29, are identified by the IMF as such)4; invigorating efforts to integrate financial and macrofinancial analysis in bilateral and multilateral surveillance; enhancing cooperation with the FSB and SSBs to promote reforms and monitor agreed standards; conducting the EWE jointly with the FSB to explore financial tail risks to the global economy; expanding the vulnerability exercise to cover risks in advanced economies (AEs) and low-income countries (LICs); and taking steps to enhance financial skills and expertise among IMF staff, through both training and recruitment.
The 2012 Integrated Surveillance Decision (ISD) expanded the responsibilities of IMF surveillance with respect to members' financial policies (IMF, 2012a). The ISD made it clear that IMF staff should explore financial sector issues relevant for domestic stability as well as for their potential for outward spillovers, which are now discussed in Article IV consultations regardless of whether they occur through the balance of payments channel.5
The 2012 Financial Surveillance Strategy, launched following the adoption of the ISD, called for a more integrated view on financial risks across IMF products and instruments. It identified three strategic priorities: to strengthen the analytical underpinnings of macrofinancial risk assessments and policy advice, to upgrade the instruments and products of financial surveillance, and to engage more actively with stakeholders to improve traction (IMF, 2012b). In implementing the 2012 Strategy, the IMF has focused its resources and attention on the S29, and it has sought to mainstream macrofinancial analysis into Article IV consultations across the membership. The IEO surveys suggest that the strategy is well understood and broadly supported by the Executive Board and IMF staff.
The IMF has also tried to address organizational impediments and cognitive biases that hindered its performance in the run-up to the GFC. Among the initiatives to mitigate silo behavior and to facilitate "connecting the dots," the Surveillance Committee and the Financial Surveillance Group meet periodically to, respectively, ensure the consistency of surveillance messages and promote discussion of financial sector issues. Also, FSAP teams prepare Financial Stability Policy Notes that are the basis for early interdepartmental feedback on preliminary assessments and recommendations. Further, the IMF has taken measures to counter groupthink and intellectual capture, including involving external experts in the periodic reviews of surveillance and working more closely with other institutions with overlapping mandates.
As a consequence of these multiple initiatives, the scope, coverage, and intensity of IMF financial surveillance has greatly expanded. Over 300 FSAPs have been completed since the program was launched in 1999, covering 75 percent of the membership. Macrofinancial analysis has been integrated, at least to some extent, in most Article IV consultations. And the GFSR and the EWE have become increasingly respected as premier sources of insight on the global financial system. Financial surveillance is now well established and accepted by the membership and IMF staff as a core element of the Fund's activities.
The sustained expansion of the scope, products, and activities of financial surveillance has been helped by a moderate increase in resources in recent years (Stedman, 2018). Total resources going to financial surveillance across the IMF are not tracked separately, so we assessed changes in the resource envelope by looking at personnel spending by the Monetary and Capital Markets Department (MCM) and spending by area and other functional departments on the macrofinancial pilot (since FY2014).6 As shown in Figure 1, MCM resources declined as part of the overall downsizing of the IMF in the years just prior to the GFC. MCM's budget was rebuilt following the crisis, particularly during FY2014–18. Figure 2, based on detailed data by output, shows that MCM spending specifically on surveillance activities has increased by the equivalent of around 10–20 full-time staff-years (FTEs) since 2012. Much of this increase went to costly FSAPs in the five most systemically important financial centers (S5, i.e., China, the euro area, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States) and to the GFSR, while resources for cooperation with other international organizations were cut back. There may also have been some increase in area department resources applied to financial surveillance, particularly in the context of launching the macrofinancial pilot, but attention to financial surveillance has competed with a variety of demands on area departments in recent years.
Figure 1.MCM Personnel Spending, FY2005–18
Sources: IEO calculations; IMF, Office of Budget and Planning, FACTS.
Note: Excludes travel and externally-financed resources, which are mainly used to fund capacity development work. For the years prior to the creation of the Monetary and Capital Markets Department (MCM) the figure shows the sum of spending by its predecessor departments (International Capital Markets and Monetary and Financial Systems).
Figure 2.MCM Personnel Spending on Surveillance, FY2010–18
Sources: IEO calculations; IMF, Office of Budget and Planning (Time Reporting System and Time Reporting for Analytic Cost and Expenditure System).
Note: Personnel spending (excluding travel) on Fund-financed activities identified by IEO as related to surveillance. Fund-financed capacity development comprised about 65 FTEs, and lending work about 7 FTEs in FY2018. FSAPs = Financial Sector Assessment Program exercises; FSB = Financial Stability Board; FTE = full-time [staff] equivalent; OFC = offshore financial center.
However, overall resources for financial surveillance seem barely back to their pre-GFC levels. MCM's personnel spending is now at about the same level as in the mid-2000s, both in real dollar terms and as a share of the Fund-financed IMF budget (about 9 percent).7 Further, resources for financial surveillance face constraints going forward. Support for the macrofinancial pilot was expected to be phased out as this analysis becomes a standard component of Article IV consultations. And as part of a budget streamlining effort, the IMF has recently taken steps to control costs of financial surveillance along with other activities. In May 2018, Management decided to cap the resources available for individual FSAPs and to limit the analytical chapters of the GFSR to one per issue. The future path of overall resources for financial surveillance thus remains unclear, despite the expanded responsibilities and importance of these activities to the IMF's mission.

MIT experts discuss online security and protecting data in a "public-private" Internet age
Rachel Gordon
Last week CSAIL hosted the fourth "Hot Topics in Computing" speaker series, a monthly forum where experts hold discussions with community members on various hot-button tech topics.
MIT professor Daniel Weitzner and MIT research scientist Ilaria Liccardi spoke on the recent Facebook and (political consulting firm) Cambridge Analytica data mining scandal, and the larger implications related to how companies misuse data, the binary nature of social media, and potential privacy policies.
Weitzner began the discussion by delving into Cambridge Analytica's misuse of roughly 87 million users' data, which was harvested from a Facebook third-party quiz application called "thisisyourdigitalife." Many believe that the data was used for commercial and political advertising purposes, potentially influencing the 2016 election.
"Facebook has classified [the Cambridge Analytica situation] as a data breach or as a theft, but it really wasn't," says Weitzner. "It's how Facebook developed its platform."
Weitzner went on to explain that while many people like these services, they don't have an actual handle on how their data is being used, and with the recent Facebook issue, it was largely an out-of-context use of data.
Later on, Liccardi spoke about how many web users express concerns about privacy, yet don't behave accordingly - a concept known as the "privacy paradox." To better understand this phenomenon, Liccardi examined users' behavior related to web applications and user permissions, and how willing they were to share data for certain apps and not others. Many users made decisions related to public perception of an app's safety, but still continued to use social networking apps even after knowledge of potential misuse.
"The binary nature of social media makes it difficult for people to completely abstain when, in reality, there are certain interactions that can only happen online," says Liccardi. "This is, largely, one reason why people's privacy preferences are disparate."
Finally, the discussion led to analyzing different approaches for improving privacy that could potentially limit how personal data is used in a time where many people are living "public-private" lives online.
The researchers talked about the pros and cons of topics like the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation and even personal data ownership, with the caveat that none will happen without strong research contribution to the policy debate.
For example, Weitzner explained that the EU's GDPR would actually be a poor fit for the US. He said that Europe has written one privacy law that covers all kinds of uses, like health, transportation, and financial data.
"In the US we tend to have different kinds of laws for different areas," he said. Facebook falls in the gaps and we have to figure out how to fill those gaps. We can definitely do a better job of tracking how data flows around, and be sure that it is not used out of context. We can do this in a way that still provides for plenty of great new services from companies."

Increasing rates by 3.6% which is less than the 4.5% forecast in the Long Term Plan.
The Council is conscious of the need to keep rates rises affordable and competitive. Are you satisfied the proposed level of rates represents good value for money compared to the other commodities you pay for? We look forward to hearing from you.
For further financial information please refer to the Supporting Information.
The Long Term Plan and the Annual Plan are related documents. The Long Term Plan outlines the Council's work programme and budgets for ten years 2015-25. Whereas the Annual Plan is prepared annually on the basis of the agreed Long Term Plan for that particular year.
This Annual Plan represents year 3 of the Long Term Plan 2015-25. It is prudent that we review projects and propose changes if necessary. This Annual Plan focuses on the differences from what was agreed to in the Long Term Plan.
It is important to note that the Annual Plan is not intended to revisit all of the decisions made in the Long Term Plan.
The development of the next Long Term Plan is underway and will come into effect July 2018.
Manawatu District Council is proposing a district wide rate increase of 3.6% for 2017/18.
This figure is a pre-consultation estimate of the amount of rates funding we need from the whole district to provide the range of services and work programmed for this year. After consultation, this average may change. Your individual rate demand will vary from the average percentage increase. This may be because of the changes to your capital valuation as a result of the district wide revaluation carried out in August 2016 or the services you receive. Your rates bill may vary from that of your neighbours or in those of different past of the district. To find out what your rates will be, go to the MDC website and search for your property.


We attended the evening outdoor opera at the Palazzo Pamphilj. It did come with a short guided tour to the top floor. Well worth the price of the ticket. We enjoyed the evening immensely and I highly recommend it. We got the cheap seats which were only 4 rows back!
We actually attended an opera at the Pallazzo and had a private tour after the concert. We chose this concert fro the Internet and it was fantastic intimate and romantics.
Hi. My decision to visit the place was not based on the exhibit, it was much more a decision to see one of the galeries with the paintings on the ceiling. I'm afraid my knowledge is not that advanced so I cannot help you here.
I indeed used the audio tour, which goes through a couple of paintings and statues here and there. It describes the paintings and why the family bought it etc but I cannot specifically remember any parallel with another collection.
Didn't visit palazzo pamphili - think it is their country place ?
Yes, we each had our own audio tour and it worked well as we spent more time on different things and weren't always near each other.
No, I didn't. I expect this would add to the time taken to go around, though.
We did not do the audio tour.
So far I've found out that Pamphilj and Colonna are family names; that Palazzo Pamphilj is 6 or so blocks from Palazzo Colonna; that a Colonna family descendant built Pamphilj in the Baroque era whereas Colonna was started in the 13th century and remodeled over 500 years.
The Palazzo Colonna is only open Sat. 9-1 and the Palazzo Pamphilj is open daily.
They both have a Hall of Mirrors and wonderful art.

This summer James Madison University is hosting a group of international students. Out of the ten, four students study at universities that belong to the INU. We have three students from Universidad Nacional del Litoral and one student from Hiroshima University. The students will be at JMU for four weeks studying in a program specifically designed for them. The focus of the program is U.S. History, Culture, and Society. The students receive lectures from various JMU professors in different areas, hear from guest speakers from the community, and volunteer at the local Boys and Girls Club. The volunteer opportunity allows them to interact with the children in the community and learn first-hand about families in the U.S. In addition, the students go camping and on excursions to Washington DC, Shenandoah Caverns, and Monticello.

Construction workers can be exposed to a wide range of hazards. Due to the nature of their varied jobs, the industry has established strict regulations which govern and regulate a safe working environment for all.
To protect workers against the risk of accident or injury to health, including exposure to adverse conditions, personal protective equipment (PPE) and protective clothing is prescribed.
Let's take a look at some of the essential safety tips for construction workers.
PPE and clothing is required to comply with industry standards as established by the relevant industry authorities. There are a lot of workplace injuries which can be prevented by wearing suitable protection.
Designed to resist crushing and penetration of the foot, all construction workers, regardless of their particular job on a site, are required to wear safety boots or shoes. Designed to have an impenetrable sole and upper as well as the all-important steel cap toe, they keep feet dry and safe from all conditions.
Safety helmets are mandatory on any construction site to protect the worker from head injury in the event of falling objects. Even site visitors are required to wear them. Fitted with a chin strap and safety visor, it is designed to be lightweight and comfortable but reinforced.
The wearing of goggles to protect the eyes or a fitted face shield may also be required depending on the job. Protecting the face from airborne dust, heat or other dangerous substances is a necessity. Safety spectacles are available in a range of styles and can even be made to fit those who need prescription lenses.
Gloves are an essential part of clothing that all laborers need. Safety gear made tough to protect against injury designed to protect against basic cuts and scrapes as well as chemical spills. Gloves required can vary depending on the task at hand. Thinner varieties are best for brick laying whilst the more heavy-duty gloves are used when working with steal. Make sure the gloves you wear are appropriate for your job.
Construction sites are very noisy places. Those who work directly with noisy equipment are required to wear earplugs or earmuffs at all times. There are even some hard hats which are fitted with ear protection too. Even if you are not directly associated with machinery that produces loud sounds, it is wise to protect your ears anyway. Constant repetitive sound can damage the ear drum and cause long term impact.
Construction workers are exposed to a wide range of weather conditions. Industry regulated clothing must be waterproof and reflective so that it is highly visible. Clothing must cover all exposed areas of the arms and neck for particular jobs and be lightweight but tough enough in the event of accident. Labourers work physically hard so they must also be designed to breathe.
In addition to clothing and equipment, construction workers require highly developed skills; not only for the job they are tasked with, but in relation to how to operate equipment safely and accurately. Workplace regulations as well as Occupational Health and Safety Acts stipulate that all employees must have up to date and correct training, skills and certificates to ensure they can be appropriately placed in a labour job.
Safety is paramount on any construction site and personal protective equipment and protective clothing is essential. These essential safety tips are just the beginning. Make sure your employer supplies you with with the necessary protection that fits you comfortably.

How blockbusters can usher new thinking
Blockbusters offer a voltage of ideas between past and present, so how is a pandemic model ushering a new way of engagement?
Installation view of Matisse: Life & Spirit at Art Gallery of New South Wales. Photo © AGNSW, Mim Stirling
In the past couple of weeks a number of 'blockbuster' exhibitions have opened. In Brisbane there's the 10th Asia Pacific Triennial, Gabrielle Chanel in Melbourne, Matisse: Life & Spirit at the Art Gallery of NSW, and next week, the British Museum's Ancient Greeks will open at National Museum of Australia.
This perennial season of international hits always wells up the same questions: are blockbuster exhibitions tired and outdated? What relevance do they have for Australian audiences other than numbers through the doors? And, in particular, are they worth the expense in this hurting pandemic world?
ArtsHub sat down with Justin Paton, Head of International Art at AGNSW, and co-curator of Matisse: Life & Spirit, which has travelled to Sydney from the Centre Pompidou in Paris.
'These big ticket summer shows, such as Matisse, have often been like a world unto themselves – the body of works arrives; it's shepherded into our spaces, and you buy your ticket, and you kind of cross the threshold into that world,' explained Paton. 'But we really wanted to feel that the extraordinary energy and freshness that lives in the these [major shows] was also breathed out into the wider museum.'
'And more than that, we wanted to extend an invitation to some great contemporary makers to talk to, and talk back to Matisse, in a way that would take up some of the propositions and questions that he threw into the air, and test them, and conjure with them from their [contemporary] place in the world,' he continued.
Read: Exhibition Review: Matisse Life & Spirit
Increasingly this has been done in recent years through things like audio tours, complimentary film and music programs, talks and public programs. But is that enough, and should the blockbuster moment better contest histories?
THE POROUS SEEP ACROSS OLD AND NEW
Paton believes that in some ways, this kind of curatorial slippage between old and new is a privilege larger state gallery have, given they house historic and contemporary collections shoulder-to-shoulder, and have moved towards a more mature practice of rethinking gallery holdings, and how they are presented.
'I think the conversations between collections and newly made work, between the so-called icons and contemporary responses, needs to be as porous as art itself,' Paton told ArtsHub.
'I think art museums should be places where those conversations are made palpable, where they're brought to life, and indeed, where they're encouraged.'
So, is this therefore an argument for the continued validity of the major imported blockbuster show? And if so, are all institutions in-line with Paton's approach of bringing a sense of interplay between old artists and new? Or do they remain focused on the main event, and the main numbers involved, both fiscal and foot?

WHAT BLOCKBUSTERS TELL US ABOUT OURSELVES
What has been interesting about the Matisse exhibition in Sydney is the way it has been sutured to the home-grown in-gallery exhibition, Matisse Alive, which punches this blockbuster back into the Pacific Region, making sense of the international in our backyard.
'Once upon a time, there was a perhaps unquestioning reverence for what came from "overseas". But what I think we're all seeking now is a confidently local perspective on what comes from elsewhere, a sense of groundedness alongside the capacity to look outward and take in a wider world,' said Paton.
The gallery invited artists from the Pacific and wider world to share their perspective on Matisse's works, particularly those inspired by his visit to this part of the world at the tail end of French colonialism. The artists are Nina Chanel Abney (US), Sally Smart (Australia), Angela Tiatia (Sāmoa / Australia), and Robin White (Aotearoa NZ).
Paton told ArtsHub: 'It is a really galvanizing thought for contemporary art museums that we should not just be telling but also be listening. Yes, we are in the business of displaying canonical and enshrined works, but we also have to be in the business of fostering this crackle of conversation between the iconic and lesser-known.'
'There's voltage that travels in both directions between the now and the then; also between the here and there, between the local and the international, between Indigenous and the imported. I think a good art museum is one where all of those neural pathways are lighting up,' Paton added.
NEURAL PATHWAYS & DISRUPTING THE BLOCKBUSTER MODEL
Paton said that new approaches to programming were also invigorating traditional exhibition models.
'In the most conservative version of that model, some programs, possibly a performance, would get clipped on to the exhibition. But what is particularly exciting about what's happening at the moment [across museums] is that programming – new music, alternative voices, new scholarly perspectives, community engagements – all of that is becoming part of the way exhibitions are conceived from the outset.'
Paton said that there is 'huge and fertile space' for emerging curators to explore where traditional exhibitions and other kinds of programming intersect. He sees it as creating a different kind of 'body language' for exhibitions. It goes beyond rethinking interpretative devices like didactics and traditional information sources, such as the audio guide.
'Interpretation is so much bigger than that. Interpretation might be what a dance company comes into the space and offers, or what a musician might compose in response to what they see on the walls. It may be a kind of compendium of responses from young people who don't usually get to come to the gallery, or it may be recordings of voices of the communities from which those artifacts have been drawn.'
He continued: '[As a curator] I can have 100 opinions about Matisse, but none of them are going to be as interesting as the opinions of artists like Nina Chanel Abney or Sally Smart, who are responding on a visual and material level.'
I think that exhibitions don't just have to speak in the voice of the institution.
Justin Paton, AGNSW
A precursor to what AGNSW has done with Matisse Alive was the Archie Plus project, which took what could effectively be described as a perennial home-grown blockbuster and used it to give agency to everyday voices.
'The simplest, and most modest dimension of that quite ambitious project was that we invited about 40 people to write labels in their own voices, with a more personal and topical perspective, connected to the events of the moment.
'They reflected on how the artworks looked through the lens of the COVID moment, and it's surprising how jolting and arresting it was to hear someone say, "I think…" or "it makes me feel…", or "it reminds me of…..", because there is this slightly disembodied third-person voice that museums traditionally speak in,' he said.
AGNSW recently appointed a Curator of Music and Community, Jonathan Wilson. Paton says that looking for ways to see the past afresh is part of museum's contract with the art and its audience, 'a contract that says, this work requires love and care and attention to be kept alive.'
He hinted that there will be more of this touchstone of care moving forward. Which takes us back to the blockbusters of the day: Matisse – Life & Spirit, the 10th Asia Pacific Triennial, Gabrielle Chanel and Ancient Greeks.
Paton posed the question: 'How do we create this live, and constantly replenished, sense of art as a force that we all have a stake in? We have to think differently about everything,' he continued.
'We've been on our screens so much, and people don't want something that feels slick, you know, that feels 'We've been on our screens so much. People don't want something that feels slick, you know, that feels polished. A blockbuster like Matisse is meaningful if it returns us to the humanity of the artist. Right now I think we want something where we can feel a maker's hand – something that's a bit vulnerable and improvised and searching, and yes, beautiful,' he concluded.
So when you visit your blockbuster of choice this summer, ask more of it. Does it fall in the dusty bin of the old blockbuster import for numbers? or does it nurture humanity and connection when we need it most?

US v. Tang Ho, 43 Phil 1
ISSUE: Whether or not Article 2868 is a delegation of power and is thus unconstitutional
FACTS: The Philippine Legislature enacted Act 2868 with one of its salient provisions, Section 1, authorizing the governor-General "for any cause resulting in an extraordinary rise in the price of palay, rice or corn, to issue and promulgate temporary rules and emergency measures for carrying out the purposes of the Act". Thus, on August 1, 1919, the Governor-General signed EO 53, fixing the price of rice. On August 6, 1919, Ang Tang Ho was caught selling a ganta of rice at the price of eighty centavos, a price higher than that fixed by EO 53. Defendant was found guilty and now assails the constitutionality of the Act 2868 for invalid delegation of legislative powers.
DECISION: The judgment of the lower court is reversed, and the defendant discharged
RATIO DECIDENDI: Yes. Said Act constituted an invalid delegation of power since the said Act authorized the Governor-General to promulgate laws and not merely rules and regulations to effect the law. The said Act was not complete when it left the legislature as it failed to specify what conditions the Governor-General shall issue the proclamation as the said Act states "for any cause". It also failed to define "extraordinary rise" that such proclamation by the Governor-General aims to prevent. Lastly, the said Act authorized the promulgation of temporary rules and emergency measures by the Governor-General,

2018 World Junior Championships preliminary rosters announced, 5 BU players named
December 8, 2017 December 8, 2017 by Conor Ryan
Patrick Harper will look for another gold medal. PHOTO BY MADDIE MALHOTRA/ DAILY FREE PRESS STAFF
The United States, Canada and Finland 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship preliminary rosters were announced earlier this week.
Five players from the Boston University men's hockey team – some returning and some new – saw their names on the rosters among many other young hockey players who hope to represent their home countries in Buffalo, New York from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5.
Last year, Team USA won its fourth title after beating Team Canada 5-4 in a shootout.
Below are the five Terriers that were named to their respective countries' WJC preliminary rosters. Team USA invited 28 players and will narrow the group down to 23 while Team Canada invited 32 players and will narrow it down to a 22-man roster.
The Returners
Sophomore forward Patrick Harper – Team USA
Harper notched one goal for Team USA last year and currently leads BU with 19 points (6g, 13a). Last Friday, Harper assisted four of the Terriers' goals in the team's 7-4 win over then-No. 15 Boston College.
Sophomore defenseman Dante Fabbro – Team Canada
Fabbro took home a silver medal with Team Canada last year and was one of two collegiate players on the squad. The New Westminster, British Columbia native currently has 11 points (4g, 7a) and leads BU in blocked shots with 38.
Sophomore goaltender Jake Oettinger – Team USA
While Tyler Parsons and BC sophomore goaltender Joseph Woll played in the net during last year's championships, Oettinger came home with a gold medal. This year, Woll and Maine's freshman goaltender Jeremy Swayman were also named to the preliminary roster.
The Lakeville, Minnesota native currently sits on a .905 goal save percentage and 2.89 goals against average over 15 games.
"It's awesome and I've been lucky enough to do it a couple of times and it never gets old. [There's] a really good group of guys invited to that camp so really excited to reconnect with those guys and start trying to defend our gold medal from last year, but that's all going to come after what should be a strong end of the season here at BU." – Oettinger after practice on Thursday.
The Newbies
Freshman defenseman Kasper Kotkansalo – Team Finland
The Finnish defenseman has represented Team Finland on many occasions including winning a gold medal in the IIHF World Under-18 World Championship. Kotkansalo currently leads BU's freshman defensemen in blocked shots with 23, and has one goal and three assists on the season.
Freshman forward Brady Tkachuk – Team USA
Tkachuk won gold with Team USA in the 2017 U18 World Championship and collected seven points (1g, 6a) on top of serving as captain. The St. Louis, Missouri native is currently fifth highest on the team in points with 12 (2g, 10a) and leads in plus minus rating of +9.
The Missing One?
Sophomore defenseman Chad Krys – Team USA
Krys was named to USA's preliminary roster last year, but didn't make the final cut. Last season, the defenseman finished a solid season with 11 points (5g, 6a) after being linemates with current Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy. Krys has surpassed that with 14 points (4g, 10a) over 17 games this season.
"Yeah, obviously you feel like it's one of your children so you're always hopeful and you always think very highly of him. It's disappointing for Chad, but the one thing I know that he and I've talked about is you just move past it and he gets to spend Christmas at home and get some time off. There's always a silver lining to everything." – BU head coach David Quinn after practice on Thursday.

Brescia University staff visits the Mount
The staff of Brescia University made their annual visit to Mount Saint Joseph on Aug. 17, 2011 to kick off the 2011-2012 school year in a spiritual way. A prayer service took place in the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Joseph Motherhouse Chapel that featured prayers and readings led by Sister Sharon Sullivan, Sister Rose Marita O'Bryan, and Sister Rebecca White. Attendees read the Brescia University mission statement aloud and prayed for all of the students. Candles, incense, and a jar containing the names of everyone involved in working at Brescia were carried to the altar. The service was followed by a meal of fried chicken, vegetables, and dessert in the community dining room. The Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph founded Brescia College in 1950 and have continuously served as staff and administrators throughout the years.
Sister Rose Marie Craycroft, OSU: Dec. 21,1923-Jan. 13, 2021

El material recorre lenguajes de jazz, blues y folklore latinoamericano y paraguayo.

A partir de este trabajo realizaron giras por todo el territorio paraguayo y se extendió internacionalmente. En 2019 recorrieron el interior de Paraguay en una gira por 19 ciudades del país.

Despite misconfigurations in public clouds creating risks to enterprise security, a recent study has discovered that more than half of IT professionals don't really understand the risks inherent in public cloud misconfigurations as well as they understand risks within their traditional IT environments.
The 2019 State of Enterprise Cloud and Container Adoption and Security report published by DivvyCloud revealed that despite cloud adoption being on the rise, IT professionals are blind to the security risks associated with their organisations' adoption of cloud and container services. In fact, less than half of those who participated could accurately point out that the risk of misconfiguration in public cloud is higher than the risk in traditional IT environments.
The survey of almost 2,000 enterprise and IT professionals found that on average, 40 per cent of organisations are running their workloads in the public cloud. 89 per cent say that they are either in various stages of cloud implementation or have plans to adopt public cloud within the next year.
Overall, the results of the study showed a lack of understanding of the security challenges related to protecting data in the public cloud. More than a third of the respondents admitted to being uncertain about which governance standards are the most relevant to their organisation's cloud and container environments.
Regardless, the survey showed that almost two-thirds of organisations continue to embrace self-service cloud access for developers and engineers. 50 per cent of businesses are relying on AWS and 37 per cent use Azure as their primary cloud solution. While self-service cloud access does make way for innovation, it also creates compliance challenges and welcomes potential security issues.
"Modern services including public cloud, containers, serverless and microservices are helping enterprises innovate quickly and maintain a competitive position in the market," said Brian Johnson, CEO and co-founder of DivvyCloud said in a press release.
Join Whitehall Media's 11th Cloud, DevOps and Datacentres conference as we bring together hundreds of leading industry speakers, users and suppliers of cloud to review the latest ground-breaking technological innovations in this space.
