The lessons of Mark Sanford's comeback victory

Voters in South Carolina's 1st congressional district sent former Gov. Mark Sanford (R) to Congress on Tuesday, giving him a 54 percent to 45 percent win over political newcomer Elizabeth Colbert Busch (D). The come-from-behind win capped an amazing comeback for Sanford, whose political career once seemed ruined due to his high-profile extramarital affair and its long trail of embarrassments.
But "political victory has redemptive powers," says John Dickerson at Slate, and there are lots of reasons Sanford "now has a chance to write a new chapter in his personal history." Sanford is "well known as a committed fiscal hawk," a message Palmetto State voters want to send to Washington; his "gritty campaigning and over-the-top charm helped him recover" from an early deficit in the polls; and the solidly Republican voters couldn't stomach sending House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) an ally, no matter Colbert Busch's moderate stances. But there's no way of getting around the fact that proudly socially conservative South Carolinians "put fidelity to party over fidelity to fidelity."
South Carolina conservatives may still say a candidate's sins matter, but they aren't voting that way. In fact, if you weren't privy to the state's strong social conservative history, you could almost mistake South Carolinians for city folk — people who vote for experience, policy, and political leanings and show a sophisticate's relativism toward personal moral failings. These days, South Carolinians seem almost Parisian when they enter the voting booth. [Slate]
Dickerson isn't alone in wondering about South Carolina's social Frenchification:
Fascinating to see SC Christian conservatives behave like the French, who shrugged at news of Prexy Mitterrand's mistress & illegit daughter
— Dick Polman (@DickPolman1) May 8, 2013
How did Mark Sanford win?! Are we France now? I'm moving someplace more uptight and Puritanical.
— Eileen Curtright (@eileencurtright) May 8, 2013
Of course, not everyone thinks South Carolina acting like France on sexual matters is a bad thing. "France — home of my absolute favorite foreign first lady, Carla Bruni — perfected the laissez-faire attitude toward the sex lives of its public leaders," says Meghan McCain at The Daily Beast. And stateside, we still hold our politicians to impossible sexual standards.
The GOP is struggling right now to find anyone who looks to be our next leader. Those who have been anointed so far have ended up falling completely short. Going forward, I suggest that the party concentrate less on what goes on in the bedroom and more on what is going on in policy.... Republicans — and Democrats — should forgive these private sins and move on. Life happens. People — especially politicians — make mistakes. [Daily Beast]
For all the talk of France and embracing hypocrisy — Sanford voted to impeach Bill Clinton for lying about adultery the last time he was in Congress — "it would be wrong to conclude that voters did not punish Mr. Sanford at all for his extramarital affair," says Nate Silver at The New York Times. "In fact, a reasonable number of voters did appear to hold it against him." Mitt Romney won the district by 18 points in a race Obama won nationally by 4 points, so South Carolina 01 is "about 22 percentage points more Republican than the country as a whole." If you look at it that way, and remember that Sanford won by just 9, then you see that Sanford's philandering cost him 13 points — the average toll for sex scandals, actually, but "not enough to flip the election result in such a conservative district."
One might argue that a 9-point loss in a deep-red district is a "moral victory" for Democrats, says Ed Morrissey at Hot Air. But Colbert Busch should probably have done better against "a damaged, weak candidate with few allies and a whole lot of his own party annoyed and chagrined to see him run for office again." She outspent Sanford by a lot, but Sanford "prevailed in nationalizing the race, in part because of that big fundraising boost for Colbert Busch." You can't draw many conclusions from special elections, which are quirky by nature, but the message South Carolina voters sent the Democrats is that "money can't buy love."
What this tells us about South Carolina's 1st district is actually pretty mundane, says Michael Tomasky at The Daily Beast. The district is conservative — just ask any liberal living in Charleston — and voters generally "care more about ideology than morality."
The vibe I invariably got from people was: Yeah, we're liberal, but it's hopeless, we're surrounded. When people feel like that as a general proposition, they're not going to go to the mat to elect a congresswoman. They're going to try to spend as little time as possible thinking about politics and as much as possible thinking about other things. Anyway, it's one of politics' oldest rules. He may be a creep (or crook or a**hole or whatever), but he's our creep.... Against all that history and emotion, Colbert-Busch actually did a pretty good job, and she would have a future if she lived in a quasi-normal state. [Daily Beast]

New MIDiA/LyricFind report delves into lyrics interest and international streaming stats
Posted on January 17, 2018 by Anna Washenko
MIDia Research compiled a consumer survey for LyricFind. The analysis covers two distinct topics. First is some statistics about the streaming music markets in the Germany, the UK, and the U.S. Second is how those markets and the users of different services think about lyrics features. The entire report is available as a free download, but here are some key takeaways:
Streaming is gaining ground on radio, with 43% and 63% of consumers, respectively. The results show that 15% of surveyed consumers are paying music subscribers.
YouTube was the most commonly used platform, with 26% of the weekly active users of streaming music apps. Spotify came next with 20%, followed by Apple Music and Amazon Prime Music each with 12%.
In Germany, Spotify's share is 19% and Amazon Prime Music's is just behind at 18%.
In the UK, Spotify and YouTube drew even with 23% shares; it's the largest of the surveyed markets for Spotify and the smallest for YouTube.
Across the participants, 88% of streaming music subscribers look for lyrics. The longer a listener has been a subscriber, the more likely they are to use lyrics features.
Just over half (56%) of subscribers said they want to see lyrics in time with the song playing.
"If playlists were the streaming battle ground for 2017, added value features such as lyrics and video could become similarly important in 2018," the report concludes.

Copenhagen's Experimentarium museum has been almost completely destroyed after a fire broke out on Monday afternoon. The cause of the blaze at the science museum, which is currently undergoing renovations, is unknown, and two construction workers suffered minor injuries. Due to the renovations, all of the exhibits are being housed at a temporary space on the city's Papirøen (Paper Island) and are unaffected by the blaze. Read more: thelocal.dk

We want our customers to be totally satisfied when buying from us, therefore we always strive to offer the most competetive prices possible.

I am so relieved there were no camera phones around when I was a teenager. I am so happy every single, stupid thing I did was not recorded for posterity.
There are a few things floating around Facebook these days I take umbrage with.
I read something today that said if you blow off your freshman and sophomore years in high school your GPA will be crap and you will end up working for craptastic wages.
It is no secret I partied my way through high school, and while my grades weren't the worst in school, they were not what they should have been given my intellect.
I didn't go to college until after my divorce, even then, I didn't finish. I do not have a degree, yet I can hold my own at dinner parties. I do not have a craptastic job. I have a high paying job, I probably make more than the person who posted that entry on Facebook.
I don't say this to brag, I say this to let you know to never judge. Sometimes it takes people a while to find their way in life. Those hard partying teens could end up having a highly specialized skill.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to go back to school and finish my journalism degree. I would also love to write a book, however I am not really that great at plotting.
I in no way advocate teenagers living a party life, I do believe my main point is not everyone without a college degree is making crap wages and can actually form a sentence.
Some comments I have seen from the "highly educated" people contain spelling and grammar errors in abundance. Perhaps they slept through their English classes.
I'm really just disgusted right now, I feel judged, simply due to the fact I didn't go to college right out of high school and when I did go, I didn't complete my degree.


Below this script is the original page which should detail the majority of the options used in the script.
This is easier said than done, however I need to make the conscious effort to remove duplicate, blurry, and boring images. Deleting these images first cuts down on time for these commands to execute, although processing time is only minutes. Purging images may be easier after renaming images according to date when traveling with multiple people, which allows comparing photographs of similar content side by side in the file browser.
Panorama stitching is relatively easy. Many modern cameras have automatic stitching built in, however using a software solution provides extra flexibility, such as which axis the panorama is centered on or the number of images used in the panorama.
The software I use is the open source Hugin. The tutorials on the website can be a bit daunting, however if your camera records focus data in the metadata of the images then Hugin is very easy and intuitive.
With the 2013 update to Hugin, it is mostly clicking through the panorama creation process; the options I once used are now integrated into the workflow. Before starting with Hugin, check the program's preferences, changing things like the output filename (I use the first image's name followed by PAN) and the default image output to JPEG.
Point and shoot digital cameras have been producing beautiful images for a few years now, negating the need for a DSLR for many photographs. However, my images are still point and shoot; no tripod is used and the camera settings are set to full auto. While this takes full advantage of the optical image stabilization present in the camera, I feel hard pressed to preserve these images in their full 16MP glory.
To get a feel for an acceptable resolution, I like to keep in mind that a 1080p still is roughly 2.1MP. 4k UHDTV is 8.3MP while 8k UHDTV is 33MP. I resize to a 3000x2000 resolution (I shoot with the same aspect ratio as 35mm film, 3:2), which is 6.0MP, scaled down from the 16.1MP images my Canon ELPH320 take.
For compression levels, I spent an evening looking at the same photograph at different compression levels. For archival purposes, I came to the conclusion that 92 is acceptable with JPEG. I also looked at other formats (namely WebP), and deemed nothing mature enough to switch to (Exif, browser support, and ImageMagick support are all issues).
The naming of files on my camera is a sequential numbering system. This works well for images from one camera, however often I also have images from my mobile phone which get sent to the bottom of the folder. Renaming according to the date of the image keeps all images in order (assuming the Exif timestamp is correct - Jhead can correct for this if misaligned).
Jhead has additional options that can come in handy. One in particular is the modification of the Exif timestamp. This allows correction for a camera that is not set to the correct time zone, particularly useful when combining images from multiple cameras.
The following steps are the most specific to my website. This following script creates the content of my pages without the captions for images. Remeber to change the DESTINATION according to where the pictures will be stored.
This bash script creates the file output.txt in the current directory, and adds four lines to the file for each .JPG file in the directory. I have to edit the location according to where my pictures will be stored on my web server.
Thumbnail does not seem like an applicable term, these are the images displayed on the webpage, with the original available by clicking through the thumbnail. Once again ImageMagick is used very similarly as before; although this time I have a handy script for creating the 0sm folder also.
The images are scaled to 600 for the maximum dimension, and a quality of 80, allowing the page with hundreds of images to load in a reasonable time. The -path parameter sends the images to the described destination instead of editing them in place.
I try to also include the nice commands when running the other conversion commands in this tutorial, but have not mentioned them previously. ionice is for hard disk access, and when using a spinning disk I would say it is more important than the nice command for keeping your system responsive. The -c3 option deems the process idle class. nice prioritizes the cpu, with -n 17 giving the process a low priority.
The last step is to upload the finished product to the website, and edit captions for the images. While GetSimple CMS has an image upload GUI, I still use an SFTP client to upload my images. However, once uploaded to the correct location, the html output from earlier can be dropped into the build in editor. The advantage to using this editor is the correct image is displayed while adding captions, speeding the process.

Two directors are appointed by the Commissioner.
Two directors are appointed by the Police Service Organisations.
Either one or two independent directors are appointed by the other directors (unless agreement on the appointment of a director is not made within a reasonable time, in which case, the Commissioner has the power to make the appointment).
The Board of Directors of the sole corporate trustee must include at least one person who is a licensed independent trustee under section 131 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2014. The Board of Directors includes three licensed independent trustees (Charlie Cahn, Tim McGuinness and Ian Russon). Currently, the licensed independent trustee designated for the scheme is Ian Russon.
We are responsible for offering membership of the scheme, accepting members into the scheme, managing the scheme's property and investments and administering the scheme.

These adorable happy poop sharpeners are proof that anything can be cute!
Yes, it's true, literally anything can be made cute - as proven by these adorable Kawaii Pastel Poop Pencil Sharpeners! These cheeky little things are based on the Japanese Golden Unchi, or Lucky Poop.

What is an autologous blood therapy?
For a self-blood therapy, the Practitioner, or the practitioner takes a little bit of blood from a vein. It is then injected directly under the skin or into a muscle. Alternatively, the blood is transferred to the sampling first of all, with different substances or homeopathically prepared, before it is again introduced into the body. This can be done by injection (syringe), but also through oral ingestion.
The Autohemotherapy or autohaemotherapy was documented at the beginning of the twentieth century by the surgeon August beer in Germany for the first time. Beer, because, he said, to the healing of bone fractures to accelerate. The autohemotherapy is part of the charm therapies. These are assigned to the alternative medical procedures. In this type of therapy is worked with various Stimuli, which the body is exposed to, for example, in the Form of heat, cold, or homeopathic remedies. This is to stimulate the self-healing powers.
some blood components have changed as a result, the body not more than body's own part, but treated it as a foreign substance. Thus, different reactions are to be initiated, which will eventually lead to a cure. The autologous blood therapy is used, among other things, in the case of pollen Allergy and hay fever, atopic dermatitis, and acute or chronic inflammation.
Important note: The self-blood therapy may only be administered by Doctors or Physicians as well as alternative practitioners or medical practitioners applied. You ask if in doubt your family doctor or your family doctor, whether your own blood treatment is in your case is advisable and whether there are any health aspects, which speak against it.
In the case of the self-blood therapy, there are various methods of execution. In the most is first removed from a small amount of blood from the arm. Then this blood is supplied to the body either untreated or in various Ways dealt with. This is usually done intramuscularly (the blood is injected into a muscle) or subcutaneously (the blood is injected directly under the skin). The most types of application widely used, we present the following short.
For the treatment with the same level of your own blood, a small amount of venous blood is removed and the body then re-fed. This is usually done in the Form of an intramuscular injection (intramuscular); often it is used, for example, the gluteal muscle. Normally, the extracted quantity of blood is the first treatment with 0.5 Milliliter to one Milliliter. In the case of the following treatments, the amount of blood can be increased slowly to up to five milliliters.
Here, the blood to be attached to various accessories, before it is supplied to the body again.
For example, you can add the blood of a homeopathic remedy. The choice of the Means calculated from the initial position of the patient or of the patient and the desired therapeutic effect. As Echinacea (purple coneflower) is used, for example, to strengthen the immune system, often in the Form of a homeopathically prepared solution for injection.
Further additives that can be added to the blood, oxygen or ozone. This is supposed to be, for example, in the case of blood circulation disorders is helpful.
In this Form of autologous blood therapy for the patient, or the patient is taken from a drop of blood. This is then potentized according to homeopathic rules. The doctrine of homeopathy, which assumes that a raw material is more stronger, the more it was diluted. By dilution and Succussion to reach a potentiation of the starting compound, i.e., from a homeopathic point of view, increased effectiveness.
In the case of a D-potency is diluted in a ratio of 1:10, in the case of a C-potency, the dilution is in a ratio of 1:100. So, for example, to a drop of blood to ten drops of alcohol, shaken in steps both ten Times with each other, and thereby obtains the potency of D1. From this prepared solution is one drop in ten drops of alcohol and ten Times shaken. This results in the potency of D2, and so on. C-get powers, you would shake each Time with a hundred drops of alcohol verse, until the desired potency is reached.
The choice of the appropriate potency depends on the type of the disease and health situation of the patient or of the patient and belongs in the hands of a in homeopathy experienced therapist or a seasoned therapist.
The potentiated own blood is taken orally, and is not administered by injection. Therefore, it is mainly used for children to use or, for example, in the case of people who have a fear of needles.
Note: alternative practitioners and naturopaths are not allowed to produce in Germany, for legal reasons, homeopathic remedies. This also includes the preparation of an autologous blood nosode. This should only be done by an authorized manufacturer made.
In this application, the form of own or autologous blood therapy, the red blood cells (erythrocytes) are broken down in the extracted blood before it is supplied to the body again. This is achieved by the addition of sterile, distilled water.
Some of the handler inside and the handler of the image depending on the illness, certain points on the body in which you inject the autologous blood after collection. This can be well-known acupuncture points, or Points at which an increased sensitivity to pain.
A scientific evidence for the effectiveness of the treatment with own blood, there is not yet. This is not the case with many alternative medical methods, means, however, that these therapies are actually ineffective. It means only that so far, none of the school of medicine accepted evidence for their healing presence effect.
An explanation for the possible effect of the own blood therapy is the following: regardless of whether taken orally or injected their own blood, both variants of the body is exposed to the smallest Stimuli. In the case of the injection of autologous blood in a bruise (hematoma) at the injection site. As a result, the surrounding tissue is irritated and it comes to reactions such as slight swelling and redness, so a local inflammation. These can expand as a weak infection on the entire body. The immune system is responding and you have to deal with the invading stimulus, i.e. the own blood.
The leukocyte number is increased, there will be an increased formation of antibodies and phagocytic cells (phagocytes), possibly the body temperature rises even a little. In Parallel, a healing process is initiated with the actual disease. This is the view of the supporters and followers of this alternative medicine form of therapy that the activated immune system will not be stimulated by the treatment so that it fights only the compound stimulus of the now as a foreign covered own blood"", but also a whole range of actual pathogens such as various bacteria and viruses.
Sometimes it may happen that after the first injection or oral ingestion of a so-called initial aggravation occurs. This means that the symptoms worsen for the time being, which should, however, change rapidly into the opposite.
It is an Allergy treatment, is seen here self-blood therapy as a so-called Training for the immune system. The immune system is to be brought to not "overreact", as this is an Allergy of the case, but again, a normal defense power. In the treatment of pollen Allergy and hay fever should be sure to start the case with the self-blood therapy. In addition, it is recommended to use with any type of Allergy in the first treatment, the lowest possible dose, in order to test how strong the reaction of the body fails individually. So the risk of allergic shock can be reduced.
How often is the own blood therapy should be carried out?
The duration and frequency of administration depends on the clinical picture of the patient or of the patient. In the case of acute diseases should have a common application with the increasing amount of blood proven, in the case of chronic diseases, the gap between the applications to be larger, and the injected amount of blood to be low. In some cases, it is administered daily self-blood, in others just about every two weeks. An average of approximately eight to ten treatments total.
Autologous blood therapies can be used, for example, in the case of allergies or bronchial Asthma. Also in the case of a weakened immune system treatment with their own blood to be helpful. On diseases such as neurodermatitis (atopic eczema), Psoriasis (psoriasis), various fungal infections, rheumatic and chronic inflammatory processes and disorders of blood circulation, the use of self-blood therapy should also have a positive influence. Please talk with your doctor or your treating Doctor about the possible risks and potential Benefits, before you decide for a self-blood therapy.
When should not be used in the self-blood therapy?


The Temecula Police Department and the Riverside County Sheriff's Department will be conducting a DUI/Driver's License Checkpoint on Friday, April 26, at an undisclosed location within the city limits between the hours of 8 p.m. to 1:30 a.m.
DUI Checkpoints are placed in locations based on collision statistics and frequency of DUI arrests. Officers will be looking for signs of alcohol and/or drug impairment, along with officers checking drivers for proper licensing.
The Temecula Police Department and Riverside County Sheriff's Department reminds drivers that "DUI Doesn't Just Mean Booze." If you take prescription drugs, particularly those with a driving or operating machinery warning on the label, you might be impaired enough to get a DUI. Marijuana can also be impairing, especially in combination with alcohol or other drugs, and can result in a DUI.
In 2017, 1,120 people were killed in alcohol-involved crashes on California roads.
Funding for this checkpoint is provided to The Temecula PD / Riverside County Sheriff's Department by a grant from the California Office of Traffic Safety, through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

Intimacy and intensity sold audiences and critics on Ian McKellen's King Lear in Chichester last year. Jonathan Munby's regal production was squished into a 240-seat space.
But here in the West End, in an auditorium almost three times bigger than Chichester's Minerva, and now with added pomp, some of that is lost.
The production's still very decent, but it also feels overladen with stuff. Its flash and clarity come in short bright bursts, rather than being sustained for the entire three and a half hours.
Paul Wills' set consists of tall, slender wooden panels semi-circling the back of the stage which peel back like secret passageways. A long catwalk slices the stalls in two, and the opening scenes are rammed full of people in full royal livery on a red carpet. Lear himself is covered with medals.
Onto that red carpet later the storm unleashes huge amounts of rain, Munby showing how defiled the old symbols of royalty have become. And what a sight: all the might of McKellen shrouded in a thick mist of rain. His suit is so sodden that it clings to his skin and exposes the outline of his elderly frame.
When McKellen comes on in his vest and trousers, with mussed up hair, it makes the contrast of this king stripped of his power all the more marked. That's what Munby's production does best: follows the line of descent as things fall from grace and grandeur into chaos and despair.
Some cast members have changed since Chichester. Lloyd Hutchinson takes over from Phil Daniels as the Fool, but retains the slightly iffy 1970s comedian vibe – thick rimmed glasses, winks to the audience, banjo.
Luke Thompson's earnest Edgar is great, as is Kirsty Bushell's casually vicious Regan, whose squirming babyishness develops into outright psychopathy as she thrills and fizzes at the idea of pulling out Gloucester's eyes with a rusty meat hook.
Then there's Sir Ian. There's his slight leg wobble as he climbs the step up to the stage in the opening scene. There's the amazing moment, amusing and sad, when he practises a couple of air punches behind the Fool's back, summoning a bit of his old vigour.
And although there are many great moments of delivery, he's actually best in the spaces around the lines, leaning into his mannerisms. There's oddity in his movements, his slightly jerking limbs, like he doesn't have complete control.
His relationship with rage is so interesting. Just as he seems about to reach a ferocious climax, he suddenly looks tired, as if he can't quite summon the energy to be angry. At a couple of points he even slaps his hand over his mouth to stop himself from shouting. It's that promise of authority and fury not delivered on that makes him so impotent – such a tragic figure.
This is a meaty, film-ready production, but the amount of stuff in it leads to some surprisingly clumsy moments, like the badly deployed blood capsules when various characters get sliced with blades, or the cast having to slop noisily around on the wet carpet after the rain.
As the pageantry is stripped away, so is some of the production's own greatness.


Drivers door is a pain to shut.
80% of the time it bounces a bit and stays latched but not shut.
Any advice? Slam it harder is perfectly fine advice by the way.
Can't just say "slam it harder" without knowing how hard you're slamming it in the first place.
Maybe a video would help?
Yeah, I'll upload something tomorrow.
I know what you are talking about. It's the same thing that used to happen with VW Beetles back in the day. Like the old VWs, these cars are sealed up pretty well and have doors that are quite light. So you can't just casually get the door moving and let it close/latch itself by inertia like you can with most vehicles. The internal air pressure in the cabin will keep it from latching all the way.
I usually have at least one window cracked, and that helps deal with the internal air pressure in the car preventing the door from closing. But when I don't it usually requires a couple tries!
Try cracking a window and closing the door with the same force you used before. I will bet it latches just fine.
Internal pressure shouldn't be an issue. Cars these days have vents in the rear to deal with this problem. They're usually behind the rear wheel well under the rear bumper cover from my experience with other vehicles.
Instead of just flinging it shut leave your hand on it while it shuts.
Works like follow through in a golf swing.
I agree with Cobrajet. The cabin pressure acts against the door when closing it if all other doors are shut and windows up. Leaving the climate control air recirculator in the open position helps a bit.
Cars these days have vents in the rear to deal with this problem.
Quite true, but these doors are very light. I have actually even had one off and held it in my hands before.
I only have this problem when all my windows are completely shut...like when I am getting ready to wash the car. Otherwise, at least one window is always cracked for some reason.

Governance & Oversight
Risk Appetite Oversight
Operational Risk Oversight
Credit Risk Oversight
Model Risk Oversight
Project Oversight
Cyber Risk Oversight
NYDFS Compliance
FCA Handbook Oversight
Regulatory Compliance Oversight
AML & Sanctions Oversight
SM & CR Oversight
A key contributing factor aligned to the Financial Crisis was the poor Governance & Oversight of the firms held by the boards and senior management responsible.
As we approach 2020 – Governance and Oversight are two key words that are continually sited by the regulator looking at firms boards and Senior Managers to take ownership for their decisions, with serious fines and even imprisonment for those who don't.
What drives Governor Software to help improve the Governance and Oversight across financial firms?
Richard Pike, the founder and CEO of Governor Software also sits as an independent non-executive director at three financial institutions (permanenttsb bank, JPMorgan fund administration and Citadel Securities).
Sitting on these boards has given Richard a very real insight into the phenomenal amount of material that non-exec directors must read, digest and make decisions on. Decisions which must also reflect the 1000 plus pages that must be read last month, and the month prior to that. With a background in finance and technology, it was as he was going through this process (understanding that, should he for some reason not be able to evidence his full consideration of all the details, he could be found liable) that led Richard to develop the Governor Software tool.
The Governor Software solution captures and displays in the form of a dynamic graph rather than a static list, "like a kind of living mind-map", the performance of Governance, Compliance and Risk functions in real-time to provide an overall picture of oversight across the organization.
Governance and Oversight & the Regulator
Globally regulator are asking for more information from firms to prove their boards and Senior Managers understand and comply with their responsibilities to manage their firm.
Some key regulations include:
Basel Committee - Corporate Governance Guidance For Banks
In July 2015 the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision provided a framework within which banks and supervisors should operate to achieve robust and transparent risk management and decision making. Stating that effective corporate governance and oversight is critical to the proper functioning of the banking sector and the economy as a whole.
EBA Final Guidelines on Internal Governance
The EBA New Guidelines for Internal Governance come into effect on 30 June 2018.
The EBA Directive 2013/36/EU reinforces the governance requirements for institutions and in particular stresses the responsibility of the management body for sound governance arrangements; the importance of a strong supervisory function that challenges management decision-making; and the need to establish and implement a sound risk strategy and risk management framework.
FCA SM&CR Banking; FCA SM&CR Insurers
The FCA expect regulated entities to have oversight of the status of their compliance within the SM&CR regulations in particular they are required to provide a management responsibilities map, documenting the senior management responsibilities (Statements of Responsibilities – SoRs) for the firm as a whole, together with other information about the firm's management and governance.
US Federal Reserve proposed guidance for Boards Supervisory Expectations
In January this year, the US Federal Reserve released for comment proposed guidance to clarify the Board's supervisory expectations related to risk management and oversight for large financial institutions. This is part of a broader initiative by the US regulator to develop a new rating system for large financial institutions that will align with the post-crisis supervisory program. In August 2017, the Board invited comment on the proposed rating system, which would reflect assessments of a firm's capital, liquidity, and governance and controls.
How can Governor Software Help?
When coming up with the concept and then initially developing the software, Richard Pike CEO was looking for a solution that could help him as a board director easily:
understand how Risks are Aggregated
drill down to detail from a high level
be able to clearly focus on what was important to him
What the Governor Software solution delivers is an integrated and harmonized risk and performance management solution. Governor Software offers an innovative approach for organizations to map and monitor the complex interrelationship of risks, objectives, regulations, and frameworks across the organization. It enables companies to map roles and responsibilities to objectives and risk, and track accountability, providing 360°contextual awareness of risk and objectives with clear reporting to decision makers.
Governor Software addresses the lack of visualization and integration of risks across the organization. It achieves this by aggregating, integrating, and visualizing risk and performance information across the organization within a single platform, allowing it to be managed from one central location and ensuring accountability. Governor's information architecture allows for flexibility in reporting and provides real-time feedback in the form of dashboards and notifications tailored for management.

3 Lines of Defence
Following the FT Report that a major UK Bank's board has declared that the Bank still has more work to do to improve its controls and compliance, we rejoin Richard Pike, CEO, Governor Software as he relays back the salient points from a Chief Compliance Officer Round Table Dinner Debate he took part in earlier this year.
Who Needs Governor Software?
Risk Management Oversight
Compliance Managers
Compliance Oversight
Senior Manager's Regime
The Governor solution enables firms visualise their obligations and integrate the connecting risks, regulations, frameworks and policies across the organisation. This is done by aggregating, integrating and visualising each one along with performance information across the entire organisation. All within a single platform, allowing it to be managed from one central location and ensuring accountability. Governor's information architecture allow for flexibility in reporting and provides real-time feedback in the form of dashboards and notifications tailored for management
Governor enables the organisation to manage it's obligations across the organisation:
Mapping risk, obligations, objectives, and roles. Governor enables organizations to visually deconstruct and map objects such as risks and regulations to visualize and show complex inter-relationships.
Monitoring context. Governor allows organizations to monitor these relationships and alert when something occurs that might have a cascading impact of risk and exposure.
Tracking accountability. Governor then enables the organization to communicate and track accountability and ensure compliance and control across the organization.

What you need to know about Nipple Reduction in Vietnam
Nipple Reduction is considered a plastic / cosmetic surgery procedure that requires coordination between a plastic surgeon, anesthetist and other surgical medical staff. This type of Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery procedure / treatment is relatively affordable, especially in Vietnam. Mainly because the skill set and experience required by the specialist doesn't need to be as extensive as it may be for other procedures. For Nipple Reduction, photos are required for the specialist to review prior to treatment.
As with all plastic surgeries, recovery varies from person to person and this is no different for Nipple Reduction, where the immediate recovery post-op can take a few days before you're moving around again. You should anticipate an extended period of rest immediately following your surgery, during which time you should avoid any heavy lifting and strenuous exercising. After a week or so, you can expect to return to light activities, gradually breaking yourself in over the new few weeks and months. The plastic surgeon will provide you with a detailed post-operative aftercare plan, which should be closely followed. This may include exercises and stretches, a diet plan and advice on how to treat the wounds.
You will be required to stay in Vietnam for around 10-14 days post-op. During this time you'll be required to visit the surgeon for a post-op checkup and have stitches removed. Once given the all clear, you'll be able to travel home, it's very rare for travel arrangements needing to be changed as the success rate for Nipple Reduction is very high. This is mostly down to the more recent advances in medical technologies and surgical techniques, coupled with the extended experience of the plastic surgeons. However, the risk of complications is always there and these may include infection of the wound, bleeding, numbness and swelling around the wound and damaged scar tissue. To reduce the likelihood of such complications, all patients need to do is rest immediately after surgery and adhere to the surgeon's aftercare and recovery advice.

About Vietnam
Vietnam is the easternmost country on the Indochina Peninsula and it is the 15th most populous country in the world with over 94 million inhabitants. Although the country faces challenges such as poverty and corruption, it enjoys a high GDP growth rate and is ranked amongst the fastest-growing countries in the world. The country is famous for its natural beauty, vibrant megacities, as well as its complex and diverse culture. More than 15 million people visited this beautiful country in 2018.
The rapid development of Vietnam has made it into the next medical tourism hub in Southeast Asia. Now, medical tourists consider the country as their potential medical destination. Many new medical centers have sprung up and welcomed thousands of patients to relax and enjoy their treatment. The country offers a wide range of cost-effective medical treatment, well-trained doctors, and professional equipment. The country focuses on promoting medical tourism to neighboring markets such as Laos and Cambodia.
Popular Parts of Vietnam
Ho Chi Minh, formerly Saigon, is the most populous city in Vietnam. It is the financial center and home to the largest stock exchange in the country. Tourists coming to the city can enjoy its many tourist spots such as shopping in the Ben Thanh Market, viewing the city from Saigon Skydeck, discovering the city's history from The War Remnants Museum, or learning the culture of Jade Emperor Pagoda. Other than the attractions, the city is also famous for its traditional food, including pho and pork rolls.
Hanoi is the capital of Vietnam and the country's major metropolitan and political center. Tourists will find many well-preserved colonial buildings, museums, and pagodas. As one of the most ancient capitals in the world, most tourists will be delighted to explore the city's historic Old Quarter, spend a beautiful day in Hoan Kiem Lake, or visit the Temple of Literature.
Hoi An invites tourists to experience a slow-paced, relaxing lifestyle. The city's Old Town has successfully preserved Japanese merchant houses and Chinese temples. To get a glimpse of the city, many tourists will opt for a bicycle tour. The city also offers a unique farming and fishing experience for its visitors. Off the coast of the city, tourists will be overjoyed to find a diving paradise with hundreds of different coral and fish.
Nha Trang is a coastal city on the South Central Coast of the country. Tourists usually come to this city for its stunning white sandy beaches and scuba diving. In addition to the beautiful beaches, Nha Trang Bay is considered to be one of the world's most beautiful bays. The city is also home to the remnants of the Champa Kingdom, gothic-style Catholic churches, and many Buddhist temples.
Da Nang is located on the coast of the South China Sea, making it the most important port city of Vietnam. The city continues to evolve each year, with modern hotels and restaurants being developed all around it. It is the tourist capital of South Central Vietnam. Tourists visit the city to enjoy its tranquil beaches with crystal clear waters, beautiful ancient pagodas, interesting French colonial buildings, and green national parks.
Weather and Climate in Vietnam
Due to its location, the climate in Vietnam tends to vary noticeably for each region. In the south, the climate is tropical monsoon with two seasons, while in the north, the climate is monsoonal with four distinct seasons.
The south experiences wet and dry season and the wet season lasts from September to December. There is more rainfall between September and November. The dry season starts in January and ends in August and the average annual temperature is around 26 °C. Some cities such as Da Nang are prone to typhoons during the wet season.
In the north, spring starts in February characterized by some rain and cold temperature. The end of April is the start of summer, with intense sunshine and sometimes even a heatwave. The average temperature during Summer is 27.5 °C but it can feel a lot hotter. Autumn starts in September and ends in November. Autumn has the best weather, with a lot of sunshine and calm wind. From December to January is Winter and it is generally cold with an average temperature of 17 °C which can drop as low as 7 °C.
Getting Around in Vietnam
There are numerous airports in Vietnam that connect the major cities. However, there are three major international airports where international visitors usually arrive at, Ho Chi Minh, Hanoi, and Da Nang. Most international flights will arrive at Tan Son Nhat International Airport which serves domestic and international flights to and from major cities in Asia, Europe, and Australia. In terms of capacity, the biggest airport in the country is the Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi. The airport serves domestic and international flights. There are two terminals at this airport. Terminal 1 is used for domestic flights and Terminal 2 serves international flights to many cities in Asia and Europe. Budget airlines such as Jetstar Pacific and VietJet Air operate flights from both Tan Son Nhat and Noi Bai airport.
Tourists do have a few travel options to get around Vietnam. The country is served by trains running from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi and it stops in many of the popular areas such as Da Nang and Nha Trang. Buses are a great option for tourists to get around the country and the buses are privately operated buses called "open tour" buses. There is also a national bus system, but they are generally not as comfortable as the private buses.
Taxis are available in most cities and can be hailed directly from the streets or via a phone call. The fare usually starts at VND 10,000 to VND 12,000. If you need to be quick, try the motorcycle taxis known as Xe Om. You will need to negotiate the price but they can be found in most parts of the cities. Cyclo (similar to trishaw) is also available for short-distance travel within a city. For easier travel, opt for Grab Motorbike, an online hailing app similar to Uber.
Tourist Visas in Vietnam
Holders of passports issued by 24 countries including Singapore, Thailand, Russia, and Japan can enter and stay in Vietnam for up to 90 days. Citizens of 81 countries including the United States, the European Union, and Canada can apply for an e-visa. Other nationals not listed in the visa exemption agreement or electronic visa need to apply for a visa in their local Vietnamese embassy or consulate.
Local Currency: The official currency is the Vietnamese Dong and 1 USD converts to VND 23,297.
Money & Payments: ATMs are widely available throughout the country. Credit and debit cards are accepted in many hotels but most restaurants and shops still only accept cash. Tipping is generally not expected but will be appreciated.
Local Language: Vietnamese is the local language. English is not widely spoken, but if you are staying in popular tourist areas, there will be people who can speak some English.
Local Culture and Religion: Most of the population follows the Vietnamese folk religion. Buddhism, Christianity, Hoahaoism, Islam, and Hinduism are also freely practiced.
Public Holidays: The country celebrates major religious and national holidays such as New Year's Day, Saigon Liberation Day, and Vietnam Traditional Lunar New Year.


Bulk-fill adapter. One end connects to paintball CO2 tank, other end takes the place of a 12-gram CO2 cartridge inside the grip of the gun.
Closeup of the adapter that replaces the CO2 cartridge inside the grip of the gun.
Connector that attaches to paintball CO2 tank.
Your gun may be marked Drozd, IZH Drozd or MP Drozd and may have any one of these mfr names: IZH, IZH-Baikal or Baikal. They all come from the same plant and are manufactured to the same specs. The guns are identical.
Includes Drozd BB pistol, 20-oz. bulk-fill CO2 tank and hose. The Drozd is made in Russia by IZH-Baikal. This one has been specially modified with a refillable 20-oz. CO2 tank that will shoot about 1,300 shots before you have to refill it!) Spend less time (and money) on small CO2 cartridges and more time shooting. If you want to convert back to 12-gram CO2 cartridges, you can easily do that! As shown in the picture, the CO2 gas flows from the tank into an adapter housed in the grip. That adapter is the same size and shape as a standard 12-gram CO2 cartridge.
There are three switches to operate the unique select-fire mechanism. The first one turns on the gun. The second one selects the firing mode: semi-auto (one shot with each pull of the trigger), three-round burst (full-auto) or six-round burst (full-auto). The third switch controls the burst rate: 300 rounds per minute, 450 rounds per minute or 600 rounds per minute.
The gun comes with a detachable shoulder stock (increases length by 5.75" but cannot be used with 20-oz. tank), scope rail, sights, one 30-round magazine and a BB loader. The magazine holds the ammo and the CO2 cartridge. This black Russian wonder is great as an all-day plinker. If you'd like to mount a pistol scope or red dot, that's easy enough with the 11mm dovetails.
Click the AMMO link to stock up on ammo. Check the ACCESSORIES link for red dot sights, fun targets and safety gear you'll need.
The tank screws into an adapter, from which the hose exits. That's where the connection is made. It is okay to leave CO2 in the tank during times when you are not using the gun.
Things I liked: Fire rate is excellent. Get the bulk adapter, you won't regret it.
What others should know: This gun can be loud with the 6 round burst. I live in a quiet neighborhood, the gun attracts a lot of attention. Other than that, this gun has fun written all over it.
Things I liked: this gun is a lot of fun and well built if your looking for fun this is it.
Refillable 12-oz. CO2 tank lets you shoot with less hassle! No more changing 12-gram CO2 cartridges!
Greater accuracy & increased consistency.

Obama misreads Cuban offer, Fidel Castro says
Fidel Castro essay seems to dismiss U.S. leader's call for Cuba to free dissidents
Raúl Castro has said Cuba is prepared to talk with U.S. about "everything"
President Obama responds by saying Cuba should send signal and free prisoners
Fidel Castro also criticizes Obama for not doing more to lift U.S. embargo on Cuba
Next Article in Politics »
From Morgan Neill
HAVANA, Cuba (CNN) -- President Obama misinterpreted Cuban President Raúl Castro's offer to start talks with the United States, Castro's brother Fidel said Wednesday, appearing to dismiss the U.S. leader's call for Cuba to release political prisoners.
Fidel Castro appears with Venezuela's Hugo Chavez, left, and brother Raúl Castro in a photo released in June.
In an essay published in state-run newspapers Wednesday, the ailing revolutionary leader said the people Washington calls political prisoners are "in the service of a foreign power that threatens and blockades our homeland."
Fidel Castro's comments come after signs of a thaw in the decades-old impasse between the United States and the communist-ruled island to its south.
Obama lifted all restrictions on visits and money transfers between American citizens and relatives in Cuba this month, while Raúl Castro said Cuba is prepared to talk with the United States about "everything -- human rights, freedom of the press, political prisoners."
Speaking at a conference of inter-American and Caribbean leaders Sunday, Obama said the Cuban leader's declaration was "a sign of progress."
He added that the Cuban government could send a much clearer, more positive signal by releasing political prisoners or reducing fees charged on remittances Americans send to relatives in the country.
But Fidel Castro wrote Wednesday, "There is no doubt that the president misinterpreted Raúl's statements."

"When the president of Cuba said he was ready to discuss any topic with the U.S. president, he meant he was not afraid of addressing any issue," Castro wrote. "That shows his courage and confidence on the principles of the revolution."
He said Cuba would be willing to release prisoners held since a 2003 crackdown on dissidents if the United States would release five Cubans convicted of spying in 2001.
And he criticized Obama for not doing more to lift the U.S. embargo on Cuba, imposed in 1962.
"Should we wait for so many years before his blockade is lifted?" Castro asked. "He did not invent it, but he embraced it just as much as the previous 10 U.S. presidents did."
Castro ceded power to his brother in 2006 before undergoing surgery for a still-undisclosed intestinal condition. But he remains head of the Communist Party, and his essay raises the question of who would be calling the shots in any talks with Washington.
"Who's in charge?" one Havana man asked Wednesday. "Raul -- ah, Fidel -- ah, Raúl."
But a woman who spoke to CNN said, "The president is Raúl. He's the one you have to listen to now."

Senators 'troubled' after Rice meeting Bergen: Senseless Benghazi obsession


Simultaneous to my career as a musician, I have taught violin for about 25 years to students of beginner, intermediate and advanced levels.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of exploring different musical styles, and at present it is what enables me to transmit this knowledge to my students, whether it be through Classical Music, Tzigane, or Traditional or Popular Jazz.
After six years of intense training beside the headmaster of the Russian school Hratchia Sevandjian, I have acquired a solid technique and a distinct style that sets me apart.
For several years I have worked as a teacher of the music-study programme for the Discoverers School Board (la Commission Scolaire des Découvreurs) at the Lévis House of Music of Bernard Bonnier, as well as at the music school l'Accroche-Notes. I also have been teaching private lessons in my studio and around Lévis.

Institutional discrimination stifles careers of disabled people in further and higher education
By Mike Berry on 5 Mar 2008 in Equality & diversity, Latest News, Disability
There is institutional discrimination against disabled people working in the further and higher education sector.
An in-depth report by the Commission for Disabled Staff in Lifelong Learning said there was a systemic failure to take disabled staff working in the sector seriously, with many employees reluctant to disclose disabilities because they feared discrimination.
The commission said it was struck by the 'fatalism' of many disabled staff about promotion and career progression. There was a culture of low aspiration among disabled staff, exacerbated by a systematic failure to address their requirements and a lack of consistency in employment practice.
Few organisations employed disabled people in senior or strategic positions.
Above all, the commission found a lack of consistency in employment practices relating to disabled staff. This amounted to institutional discrimination, it concluded.
The From Compliance to Culture Change report said that while 20% of the adult population had a disability, the disclosure rate among staff in lifelong learning was only 4%.
The commission recommended a disability equality group be set up to ensure disabled staff were treated as fairly as students in lifelong learning.
Commission chairwoman Leisha Fullick, who is also director of the Institute of Education, said: "There is a clear problem about the under-representation of disabled staff in lifelong learning. And we saw little evidence of organisations adopting a strategic approach to current and future disabled staff.
"At the very least this represents a huge loss of potential and is not a sound business approach. It is also an indication that, 10 years on, the legislation designed to reduce discrimination against disabled people in the workplace is not having a sufficient impact on employment practice in lifelong learning."
The lifelong learning sector includes further education, adult and community learning and higher education.

Sources said that six people - four including the pilot were seriously injured.
However, Malaysia Airlines in a Press statement later confirmed that it was their aircraft - DHC6 9M-MDM MH3002 operating from Kota Kinabalu to Kudat which was involved in the 2.50pm incident.
"The aircraft landed short of the runway in Kudat."
"No reported fatalities as of now. Focus of the airline is on the rescue of the passengers and crew."
"We will continue to monitor the situation at the crash site and update the situation," it said.
Meanwhile, Bernama reported two of the passengers were seriously injured in the crash in Kudat, about 150 kilometres northeast of this state capital.
Sabah Fire and Rescue Department public relations officer Mohd Affendy Ramin said the plane, which was carrying 16 people including the pilot, crashed in Kampung Sinsan.
"We received an emergency call at 2.54 pm and a rescue team consisting of 11 personnel were at the scene in 21 minutes.
"All 16 people on board were brought out of the plane and sent to the Kudat Hospital for medical examination," he told Bernama.

He would be graduating in a few months and plans to take his career on a more balanced road in coordination with his work. Denis is the first and only Grandmaster in Bashkortostan after winning the title in 2004, an honor which only a few achieve. He finished second in the Izmailov Memorial Tournament held in Russia in the year 2008. The second quarter of 2009 held more pleasant surprises as he became champion in the Gubernators Cup in November.
Denis's career has also seen other successes when he finished 12th in the Abu Dhabi Open in 2007 and 25th in the European Individual Championship of 2008. He claimed seventh position in the Voronezh open in Russia in 2009. He holds a current FIDE ranking of 2667 as on July, 2010 along with a world rank of 70 and a national rank of 20.

Two years of euthanasia in Quebec: the facts
by Aubert Martin Dec 11, 2017 May 1, 2020 / 3 mins /
The law that legalized euthanasia in Quebec – under the euphemism "medical aid in dying" – came into effect exactly two years ago, on December 10, 2015. Many promises preceded its intrusion into our health system: that this would be an exceptional measure for exceptional cases, that there would be safeguards to prevent abuse, and that very strict criteria would protect vulnerable people. In any case, they told us, it was "first and foremost a law about access to quality palliative care throughout the province."
Today, we have concrete experience, from right here at home, that allows us to respond to a crucial question: what are the facts after two years?
First of all, the statistics blew reassuring forecasts out of the water, so much so that, in the public discourse, exceptional measures rapidly transformed into a response to a need. In fact, while we were offered a hundred or so requests in the first year, the final result shows that 469 people died by euthanasia in 2015-2016, and 638 in the following year.
In comparing our numbers to those of Belgium (as a percentage of total deaths), we observe that the first year in Quebec corresponds to the sixth year in Belgium, and that our second year is between the seventh and eighth years following the Belgian law. This is to say that Quebec threw itself headlong into death as a solution to suffering.
With respect to the "safeguards", it is already clear that they do not work. First, let us recall that these safeguards are based on a biased foundation: that of self-reporting. In fact, the physician who evaluates the patient and makes the diagnosis is also the one who causes the patient's death, and the one who then completes the declaration form to explain to the oversight commission the conformity of his act.
Yet, despite this conflict-of-interest situation which works in favour of the people who administer the deadly injection, the Commission sur les soins de fin de vie (CSFV), in charge of evaluating the application of the law, concluded that there were 21 cases of abuse during the first year and then 31 cases of abuse in the following year. Needless to say, so many infringements put vulnerable people at great risk. However, the most dramatic failure came from the College of Physicians, which judged that "no case justified a punitive intervention." In doing so, it opened the door wide to repeated violations of the law, justifying their impunity.
Meanwhile, these two years of euthanasia in Quebec have turned the exceptional measure into a promotable solution: safeguards became barriers to access, and the strict criteria – intended to protect vulnerable people – became cruel and discriminatory.
Unsurprisingly, we are also seeing strong pressure to expand access, particularly to people who are not at the end of life, who are unable or too young to consent, or who suffer from psychiatric disorders. By the same token, the tendency that is taking shape before our eyes is transforming euthanasia, originally sold as a personal choice – which nevertheless involves the whole of society – into a choice… for another person.
In conclusion, the facts show that, for the past two years, the situation in Quebec is falling increasingly out of control. Moreover, there has been no effective follow-up on access to palliative care as priority is given only to euthanasia. Thus, for the second year in a row, the Commission mentioned in its report that the "variability of reported information with respect to the number of individuals at the end-of-life who received palliative care does not allow for the processing of these data at this time" (CSFV Report 3.2.1).
Of course, once euthanasia has been sold as a benefit, a gesture of compassion and even a form of health care, this reversal of collective thought is far from surprising.
Yet as a young French writer recently wrote, better to fight so that the last caress of a physician to comfort a patient in her last anguish be by a hand that heals and not one that kills. And so that the last glance received be one of love, humanity, and life.
And while waiting for this salutary reversal, we should ask ourselves, in the light of the facts after two years of euthanasia in Quebec, what is the purpose of having a law, an oversight committee and criteria if it is optional to respect them?

Can there be an infinity of stars in the Universe?
Nicolas Barbulesco
I have a mind puzzle.
Can there be an infinity of stars in the Universe ?
I have 2 opposed reasonings, yet I don't find any flaw in them. Can you help me here ?
Answer A : No, the number of stars cannot be infinite.
In the whole Universe, at an instant t, there are W molecules of water. This number may be very big, but it has a definite value. The same goes for stars. Each of all the stars at the instant t has her own size, and we can give her a name. We can list all of them, and we can sort them from nearest to farthest — if we are omniscient, of course.
Answer B : Yes, the number of stars can be infinite.
Space has no finite volume. Space has no ending wall. If I advance into space, I can always go further. Wherever I go, space is by default filled with… vacuum. But it could be otherwise. [I am not sure of this point.] Space could be by default filled with… air. So there would be +∞ molecules of air in the Universe. We can apply this reasoning to stars. Let's say there is, in average, 1 star / 1060 m3. So, in the total infinite volume of space, there would be +∞ stars. When I advance into space, I would keep meeting new stars, without end. Like in these video games in which mountains keep appearing as far as you walk.
Stan Liou 8 years ago
Your 'Answer A' assumes that $W$ is a finite value and then concludes that it's a finite value. It's a clear case of begging the question.
Nicolas Barbulesco 7 years ago
Related question: *astronomy.stackexchange.com/questions/6031/can-there-be-an-infinity-of-humans-in-the-universe*
I don't think there is a way of judging which answer is best, as this is based primarily on your opinion of what lies outside the observable universe.
Rodrigo 5 years ago
Check this out. Our Universe may be a single black hole inside a larger Universe, and so on, infinitely. This makes answer B possible.
Theoretically yes, there can be infinitely many stars. Since this space you're talking about is better described by general relativity and Einstein's field equations. One of its solutions describes the universe as being spatially infinite.
+1, though under the assumptions of large-scale homogeneity and isotropy (which are motivated mainly by cosmic background radiation), there are *four* qualitatively different kinds of possible spatial geometries, two of which are infinite (Euclidean $3$-space and hyperbolic $3$-space).
You can check out Olbers' paradox, also known as dark night sky paradox.
In short, it argues that the universe can't be a static one (ie. no time component = no beginning and no ending, infinite in size, etc), because if it were that way, than in this infinite universe, there should be an infinite amount of stars and the light of those stars would had an infinite amount of time to reach us. This would mean, that we should see the light of all (infinite) stars at all times, which is definitely not the case if you go out at night and look up.
But we know the universe has a finite age, so this has little bearing on the question.
rtime 5 years ago
@RobJeffries and since we 'know' that the universie has a finite age, we conclude that it also has a finite amount of stars
Your logic is incorrect. Nobody knows whether the universe is spatially finite or not. The finite age has no bearing on that. The question does not ask about the *observable* universe (which is certainly finite and has about 1e22 stars in it).
But if the Universe were to be infinite, there would not be an observable universe. The light of all possible sources would have had an infinite amount of time to travel and therefore would have reached every point in the universe and therefore we should 'see' the whole universe. Where is the error in this thinking?
@t.rathjen If you read the article you linked about Olbers' paradox, you would see that it is resolved by redshift.
Unless the interstellar dust obscures most of this infinite luminosity?
There is an uncountable amount of stars from our perspective, but space does have a limit of size which is the distance which subatomic particle and matter as traveled since the big bang and with that limit of stars. Although stars die and form beyond our ability to count so observably we can never have an exact count of stars at anytime as well.
I would bet on answer B because The universe does have a total mass of about 25 billion galaxies. We can mathematically calculate the mass of our universe.

Space does not necessarily have a limited size. The universe *could* be infinite. Nothing needs to have travelled anywhere since the big bang - space expanded.
Muze 5 years ago
@RobJeffries Was space expanding before the big bang? Can space expand at he speed of light?
That space has expanded to the extent that most of the universe lies outside the *observable* universe is a critical component of modern cosmology. We do not know the size of the universe, and it could be infinite.
