Minnesota Teen Sets New Northern Pike State Record
Posted by David Smith
A Minnesota teenager caught the new northern pike state record several months ago, but his fish is now recognized as the one to beat in the Land of 10,000 Lakes.
Matthew Swanson is the new holder of the Minnesota northern pike state record, with a beastly 45.25-inch pike. Swanson actually caught his fish May 6, but he didn't submit his application to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources until fairly recently.
The DNR received Swanson's paperwork Oct. 29 and certified his pike as the new catch-and-release record soon after.
The Woodbury angler was fly fishing northern Minnesota's Rainy River with his father and brother. After three days of watching his dad and brother catch several sizeable pike, Swanson borrowed his dad's rod and hooked the big northern after just a few casts.
Fishing a streamer fly on 30-pound wire, the water exploded and the fight was on. After a brief fight Swanson landed big northern pike. The anglers measured the fish and took some photos before carefully releasing it back into the river.
"Because this was to-date my first and only pike on a fly, it was a very memorable experience," Swanson told the Minnesota DNR.
His pike beat the current Minnesota catch and release record set only a month prior to Swanson's certification. Maddy Ogg reeled in a 43.5-inch pike from Mille Lacs Lake in early October.
According to the DNR, "There are two kinds of Minnesota state records: one for catching and keeping the biggest fish in each species based on certified weight; and the other for the length of a caught and released muskellunge, northern pike, lake sturgeon or flathead catfish."

CAD geometry may be imported into Strand7 from all of the leading CAD packages such as Catia, Inventor, MDT, Pro/Engineer, Rhino3D, Solid Edge, Solidworks and Unigraphics through neutral geometry file formats such as IGES, STEP and ACIS-SAT.
The imported geometry can then be meshed by using the automeshing tools in Strand7. The importer recognises files containing all commonly used surface entity types. These include B-splines, cubic splines, planes, ruled surfaces, cones, spheres and a number of other entity types.
This bike wheel hub was created and saved in IGES format, which was then imported into Strand7. The picture above shows how Strand7 displays the imported geometry. The model is composed of planes, B-splines and surfaces of rotation.
The above picture shows the imported geometry of a household tap that was originally saved in ACIS (SAT) format. The model is composed of planes, cones and B-splines.
The geometry of a tennis racquet was imported into Strand7. This picture shows both the imported geometry and the meshed model. The frame (in aqua) was surface meshed and the handle (in grey) was solid meshed.
CAD models are often created for the purpose of visually conveying the geometry of an object. Although FEA models appear similar, they have the added requirement of fulfilling the non-visual purpose of mathematically simulating the structural behaviour of that object. The conversion of a CAD model into an FEA model must account for this discrepancy. Strand7 includes a number of tools that can greatly help in this conversion. Unintended internal cuts in a model that are not visible in CAD may be identified. Cuts, gaps, sliver (extremely thin) faces and other irregularities can be removed or repaired using the Geometry Cleaning tool in Strand7. The figure below shows how a tool in Strand7 has identified a number of gaps (in red) in a model.
This picture shows two free edges in the household tap model being identified with red highlighting. The free edges signify a 'cut' in the geometry. If left 'as is', the geometry will be meshed so that this cut is preserved, generating an incompatible mesh. Instead, the cut can be zipped using the Geometry Cleaning tool.
This image shows the IGES geometry of a cupola structure imported 'as is'. The left side image highlights a number of incompatibilities between surfaces. These are zipped together using the Geometry Cleaning tool, with the resulting geometry indicated on the right.
This image shows the result of a typical feature removal operation. The left side image shows the imported geometry, containing a small face. The right image shows that the small face is removed. The feature has been automatically removed and the adjoining surfaces automatically adjusted to close the gap.

As risk manager positions go, Hilary Weaver's role is unique. That is because, on the one hand, as Lloyd's of London's chief risk officer (CRO), she guards against risk at the Corporation of Lloyd's, but on the other, because of the unique market structure, she also works hand in hand with all the firms – managing agents, syndicates, brokers and underwriting syndicates – that make up the Lloyd's market.
Weaver (pictured) is quick to note that in her role at the insurance market she also serves as chief compliance officer, which includes heavy involvement in thinking about Brexit, regulatory, governmental and geopolitical matters, although she does not oversee the internal model of the business – vital for Solvency II capital calculation, the market's Central Fund, and its broader underwriting discipline. This responsibility sits with the chief financial officer, John Parry.
"It is quite a big brief," she says. "A lot of CROs own the internal model. I don't, but I do have a big part in testing it out and making sure that it's all stress and scenario tested. I'm an Accountant by background, not an Actuary," notes Weaver.
Weaver has been at Lloyd's since 2002, serving much of that period as Head of Internal Audit before stepping into the CRO role in April 2016. Before that she trained as a chartered accountant in the UK and later served in several banking and technology focused roles at KPMG, working in Sydney and California.
Cyber threats are an obvious concern after high profile attacks in 2017. "You can't go through a risk list without mentioning cyber, it must be one of the top three risks. It doesn't matter if you're in financial services or elsewhere, it's definitely at the forefront," says Weaver.
For example, like many organisations, Lloyd's includes contact details for its chairman Bruce Carnegie-Brown, CEO Dame Inga Beale, as well as its CRO, on the company website. Phishing and social engineering ploys using such information try their luck all the time. "That happens a lot and the CISO and the email filters catch it very quickly. I've had an email from "Inga1.Beale", which I looked at and thought, 'hmm'," she laughs.
Asked about Brexit, Weaver sees it within the context of broader geopolitical currents, and particularly access to markets internationally, vital for diversification of risk transfer through insurance.
"At the moment I worry more about man-made risk than I do about natural catastrophe risk. Geo-political risk is changing so quickly, whether it's Brexit, US affairs or Catalonia, and we're just not sure what's going to happen next," she says.
So what can you do? "You keep analysing," says Weaver. "We talk a lot with governments, as Lloyd's represents the whole insurance and reinsurance market. Part of my job is not just to consider risks step by step and tactically, but to look at the broader horizon and say, what could happen? And if something happens, what could the impact be either on us or on the broader financial stability of the market as a whole," she says.
Stress testing and scenario analysis forms a lot of the work, Weaver says, particularly looking at compound effects of a chain of events, or several events coinciding together. "We've always done it, but I think the difference now is that we do far more compounding scenarios," she says.
Last year the results were published of a major "market turning event" exercise, for which Lloyd's worked with insurer Hiscox, advisory firm McKinsey, as well as involving UK regulators the Prudential Regulation Authority and the Financial Conduct Authority. It tested the effects of a huge hurricane, a cyber-attack on the US power grid blacking out 90m homes, a major stock market tumble, and a major reinsurer defaulting.
"Before, you might have taken one or two scenarios in combination. Now we're considering the effects if we had a couple of big events in year one, and again in year two another one or two events, and then more major events in year three," explains Weaver.
She notes that a lot of firms run in-house disaster recovery exercises, and that for cyber-attacks – rapidly becoming an inevitability – the speed and quality of the response is perhaps most important to ensure reputation and continuity afterwards. However, the nature of the Lloyd's market – with its many brokers, managing agents and syndicates – makes such an exercise much more complex.
"Because of the subscription market level at which Lloyd's operates, it becomes many more different actors and counterparties taking part. It's big, not only in the market, but because of all the chains that fan out from that, to make sure that policyholders get valid claims paid," says Weaver.
And how did the market do? "I think everybody felt they acquitted themselves well, which means the modelling across the market. We have our own central modelling at Lloyd's and then every single Managing Agent has their own internal model. I think the fact that there weren't any horrible lurking surprises meant the modelling is robust," says Weaver.
Some lessons were drawn, to take forward for the next exercise. "On the capital side, the Central Fund performed well, as it did with recent real-world US windstorms, but there are always questions like what type of capital you bring in, whether tier one or tier two, and those kinds of finer points," she says.
"And in more general terms, there were issues to make sure everyone has the right information at their fingertips on days one, two, and three. It's been a long time since we had a huge event in the market, such as 9/11. I think everybody revisited their plans and, with the benefit of hindsight, there were areas where we might have been more efficient in how we responded and in our decision-making processes. But no show-stoppers, I'm glad to say," Weaver adds.
For those "unknown unknown" risks, which lie beyond the scope of considered scenarios, Weaver suggests the fast-moving possibilities of disruptive technology. "Somebody, somewhere might come up with some wonderful business model that we haven't even thought about yet, that affects sustainability of ours," she says.
However, she tempers such fears with the exuberance she experienced working in Silicon Valley around the time of the Dot-com bubble. "My goodness, they were willing to go for it, and I think that quick-to-fail type mentality has come back again with the marvellous amount of insurtech investment – for every hundred start-ups, perhaps one truly succeeds," says Weaver.
"But if that one is the future Google of insurance then actually those are the ones that you have to take note. It's good that we do spend some time worrying about emerging risks, and it's far better to try to disrupt ourselves with modernisation than to wait to be disrupted," she adds.


It's no secret that women and men of color are underrepresented at all levels of the technology industry, and especially at the board and executive level. But these numbers highlight another reality when you dig into the complexity of intersectionality data. For those who identify with more than one underrepresented group, such as women who are also Latina, African American, Asian or LGBTQ, the numbers show the real and different challenges they face. For example, while 26% of people employed in professional computing occupations are women, only 9% are Asian, black or Hispanic women, according to the National Center for Women & Information Technology.
As an executive sponsor for diversity and inclusion in technology within my company, I've spearheaded multiple initiatives to hire and retain more women, and I've partnered with amazing organizations that do the same. However, my full appreciation for the unique challenges faced by those with intersectional identities in the workplace did not come until later in my journey. I was certainly aware that Hispanic women face different challenges than white women, or that being an over-50 lesbian black woman in tech is a sort of marginalization "quadruple bind." But it wasn't until I did deep research into intersectionality — reading seminal works by UCLA and Columbia law professor Kimberlé Crenshaw, who developed the theory in the 1980s — that our team began to explore the experiences of our associates on multiple dimensions.
As a woman in technology, I have overcome challenges associated with my gender, but I certainly appreciate that my challenges were not as great as those with added marginalized identities. That's why I am dedicated to raising awareness to the diversity opportunities in tech, especially the critical need to improve the representation and experience for those with intersectional identities. I am hopeful, especially because of partnerships with organizations like Year Up, Code 2040 and Black Girls Code, but we have so much more to do. Hopefully, many more companies will begin to investigate the challenges people from intersectional groups face in the workplace, as well as value their unique perspectives. The tech industry won't achieve true balance — and reach its fullest potential — until we see equal representation from every group.

Hit Or Miss? Top 5 Bitcoin Predictions For 2023
Bitcoin predictions have been rolled out with the start of the new year. These predictions come from prominent personalities in the space who have shared where they think the price of the digital asset is headed. Some of these are bullish while others err more on the bearish side. Here are the top 5 bitcoin predictions for the year 2023 from most bullish to most bearish.
Tim Draper Says $250,000
Billionaire Tim Draper has always had high hopes for bitcoin, giving it a $250,000 price mark for the year 2023. While Draper has adjusted the timeline a bit, he has not let up on his prediction. In an email to CNBC, the billionaire investor reiterated that he believes that the digital asset is still headed for $250,000.
According to him, the more women, who control 80% of retail spending, are drawn into BTC, the price of the asset will explode. He expects the $250,000 mark to be reached before the next bitcoin halving, saying he expects the "halvening in 2024 will have a positive run."
Carol Alexander Puts Bitcoin At $50,000
Another prediction that the CNBC report highlights is that of a professor of finance at Sussex University. Professor Carol Alexander takes a more conservative stance compared to Tim Draper with her prediction that the digital asset would hit $50,000 sometime in 2023.
However, Alexander does not expect this to happen soon but rather believes that it would be in Q3 or Q4 2023 when this would happen. She expects another bull market in the year but nothing like the previous one as she believes will be a "managed bull managed." As for who will drive this, the professor expects large BTC whales to be behind the rally.
"We'll see a month or two of stable trending prices interspersed with range-bounded periods and probably a couple of short-lived crashes," Alexander told CNBC.
Erik Voorhees Goes With $40,000
Erik Voorhees is a notable name in the crypto space being the founder of the ShapeShift exchange. Coming through with his prediction for the year, Voorhees told Bankless in a Monday interview that he expects the price of bitcoin to reach $40,000 by June. While not as bullish as the first two, it would be about a 150% increase from the current price.
One thing that Voorhees couldn't decide on though was when he expects the next bull market to happen. He put a timeline of around six months to 3 years for when the next bull run would likely happen. However, he believes that there is a revolution going on regardless of whether there is a bull or bear market.
Mark Mobius Goes Lower With $10,000
Deviating completely from the incredibly bullish predictions of others, Mark Mobius, a veteran investor, told CNBC that he actually expects bitcoin to fall to $10,000 in 2023. He points to the interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve as being a deterrent for investors who may be interested in buying or holding bitcoin. For him, since bitcoin does not pay any interest, it does not entice investors.
For Mobius' prediction, if it does come to pass, it would mean another 50% decline for the digital asset in the year 2023 after crashing more than 60% in 2022. But the investor sticks to his guns as he expects this to be the case.
Standard Chartered Goes Scorched Earth At $5,000
Perhaps an interesting thing about bitcoin and its investors is that it is not expected that bitcoin would fall even close to the previous market bottom but Standard Chartered does not share this sentiment. The global banking giant released its predictions for BTC which turned out to be arguably one of the most bearish cases for the industry so far.
The bank expects the price of BTC to fall another 70% and reach as low as $5,000 in 2023. It points to the fact that technology shares continue to decline and expects bitcoin to do so too, as well as the reduced liquidity in the crypto sector pushing many companies to file for bankruptcy.
"More and more crypto firms and exchanges find themselves with insufficient liquidity, leading to further bankruptcies and a collapse in investor confidence in digital assets," said Eric Robertsen, Standard Chartered's global head of research.
Bonus – Mike McGlone Guns For $100,000
In 2022, Bloomberg analyst and Senior Commodity Strategist Mike McGlone gave his own predictions for the future of bitcoin but placed it on a much longer timeframe compared to others. McGlone expects the price of BTC to reach $100,000 but not until 2025.
His own prediction hinges on the simple supply and demand framework. The analyst says the supply of the cryptocurrency is on the decline and demand is going up. Given this, he believes that it is only a "matter of time" until the digital asset is trading at $100,000.

Senators' 2001 Draft Review – Winning the Lottery
April 20, 2022 April 22, 2021 by Dayton Reimer
Looking back at the Ottawa Senators' draft selections during the 2000s, it was a great time to be a Sens fan, as the team set franchise records in wins, goals and points, all while battling the Toronto Maple Leafs in the hottest rivalry in the league. After sitting near the bottom of the league for so long, the Senators were finally a top contender and possessed some of the league's brightest young stars, thanks to smart drafting in 1990s.
Related: Senators' 2000 Draft Revisited – It Could Have Been Better
The Senators played it pretty safe in 2000, taking big, tough guys with most of their picks. It would prove to be a flawed strategy, as these "safe" picks tend to, ironically, fail more than they succeed. However, a successful draft-day trade involving an unhappy player would give the Senators a huge boost in confidence, encouraging them to take more risks in the entry draft than in the previous year. The result would be one of Ottawa's strongest draft classes, despite a weaker class overall.
Yashin Holds Out
It's easy to forget that Alexei Yashin was once the Senators' brightest star. Nowadays, you'd be hard-pressed to find a Sens fan who'd regard him warmly but in the 1990s, he was their biggest star. From his rookie season in 1993-94, he led the team in scoring every season except 1995-96, when he came in second. Without him, the team may not have made their first post-season appearance in 1996-97. Yashin was the face of the franchise, and he knew it.
However, Yashin began to become a bit too aware of his worth. In 1995-96, he left the team for half the season, demanding a raise equivalent to the likes of Joe Sakic or Steve Yzerman, despite never posting triple digits in points or winning any individual awards.

The Senators hesitated, but after a long losing streak and firing two coaches, they were out of options. On New Year's Eve, a deal was struck and Yashin was given $8.7 million over four seasons. Everyone was happy…at the time.

In 1999-00, Yashin again became unsatisfied with his paycheck and refused to report to Ottawa unless they offered him $23 million over two seasons. This was far too rich for the small-market Senators and they refused, suspending Yashin until he reported to the team. Yashin decided to wait for free agency, which was supposed to kick in that July. An entire season passed with neither side budging. Eventually, an arbiter was brought in, who ruled that since Yashin had not played a full season of his contract, he still owed the Senators a year of service. Frustrated, he returned in 2000-01, still a Senator and again led the team in scoring. It was too little too late for Ottawa's management, though.

Trading a star player is a risky decision; the deal rarely pans out for the star's former team. Yet Ottawa was able to come out on top, finding an eager trade partner in the struggling New York Islanders. On draft day, the Senators flipped Yashin for the Islanders' first-round selection, defenseman Zdeno Chara and veteran grinder Bill Muckalt. For Ottawa, it was a huge win, giving them a massive boost of confidence when it came time to draft. For the Islanders, it was…less successful.
The Top of the First Round
The 2001 draft was a weaker draft class, with many first-round selections becoming busts. However, the top three were seen as potential superstars, and the Senators had the second-overall selection thanks to the Islanders, so they were almost guaranteed to win.
After the Atlanta Thrashers selected Ilya Kovalchuk with the first-overall selection, the Senators stepped up to the podium and snapped up Jason Spezza. Touted as the brightest prospect in North America, Spezza had lit up the OHL, scoring an incredible 116 points with the Windsor Spitfires and Mississauga IceDogs. With his combination of size and vision, he seemed destined to be one of the NHL's best centers, making him a perfect replacement for Yashin.

Alexander Svitov was the last of the big three in 2001, taken by the Tampa Bay Lightning third overall, but his career took a very different path than the other two selections. While Kovalchuk and Spezza were beginning their NHL careers, Svitov was stuck in Russia, fighting with authorities to play in the NHL. When he finally arrived in Florida, his confidence was shot, and he was never able to regain his form. After three very uninspiring seasons in the NHL, he returned to Russia with the title of one of the worst draft busts of the last 20 years.
The Bottom of the First Round
With their new star secured, the Senators sought to give him some protection. They set their sights on Tim Gleason, one of Spezza's teammates in Windsor. He was a big, physical defenseman, posting 124 penalty minutes in 47 games, but was also well-rounded, scoring 36 points in the same time frame. That skill set landed him 12th on the Central Scouting Bureau's final rankings among North American prospects.

The Senators were so sure that he was their guy that they traded their 27th pick to the Philadelphia Flyers for the 23rd pick, while also parting with a seventh-round pick and a 2002 second-rounder. It was an aggressive move but if an impossible situation like Yashin's could be solved with a trade, then anything was possible.
Gleason, however, would never play for the Senators, thanks in part to Chara. The giant Slovakian emerged as a top NHL defenseman with the Senators, providing both a booming slap shot and a physical presence. Thus, Gleason was no longer necessary, so at the 2003 trade deadline, Ottawa shipped out their prospect to the Los Angeles Kings for Bryan Smolinski. It was a smart trade, as the veteran center would provide a crucial element that the dominant Senators would struggle with for much of the decade – secondary scoring.
Rounds Three to Five
After a strong opening, the Senators fell back into old habits later in the draft, mimicking their strategy from the year before. First, Ottawa made several pick-for-pick deals then drafted essentially the same player multiple times. Even after a single season, their 2000 drafts picks had not aged well, yet the Senators decided to pick more big, tough defensemen in an effort to add grit to their depth.
Neil Komadoski, picked with the 81st selection, piled on the penalty minutes in his first season at the University of Notre Dame and looked like a good bet to become a capable depth player. Yet before he graduated, Komadoski was already considered a long-shot to break into the league. He retired in 2007 after injuries had basically ruined his knees. Fourteen picks later, the Philadelphia Flyers would take a risk on another college-bound prospect, Patrick Sharp. Though slow to develop, Sharp would become a key member of the three-time Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks.

The Senators changed it up with their next pick and took a risk on aggressive goalie, Ray Emery who was playing with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds of the OHL. While his stats were average, he had gained a reputation as a scrapper and the grit-hungry Senators were enticed to take a chance. It began to pay dividends almost immediately, as Emery won CHL Goaltender of the Year in 2002, then was selected to the AHL's All-Star team as a rookie in 2003. With the Senators, he helped them reach the Cup Final in 2007, then won the Jennings Trophy, along with the Stanley Cup, in 2013 with the Chicago Blackhawks. He retired in 2016, but sadly passed away in 2018 in a swimming accident.

Their last two selections in the middle part of the draft were used on two big German defenders, Christoph Schubert and Stefan Schauer. Schubert, already an international veteran at just 19-years-old, had the size, shot and physicality to make it in the NHL. After joining the Senators in 2005-06, he stuck around for four seasons as a middle-pairing defender, providing much-needed secondary scoring from the point and a slap shot that was second only to Chara's. Schauer, on the other hand, never played in North America; after he was drafted, he quickly regressed and the Senators never offered him an entry-level deal.
The Late Rounds
At the end of the 2001 draft, the Senators decided that, finally, they'd accumulated enough toughness and began to take some chances on lesser known prospects. It may have been the smartest move (aside from taking Spezza) they made that day, as they ended up with two top prospects.
Brooks Laich wasn't ranked by the CSB when the Senators picked him 193rd overall, hidden in the depth chart of a deep Moose Jaw Warriors team. However, the next season he was given a larger role and he exploded offensively, scoring at nearly a point-per-game pace. Suddenly, the sixth-round pick was one of Ottawa's top prospects, and they used his increased value to pry Peter Bondra away from the Washington Capitals. While Chara was ecstatic to play with the Slovakian legend, Bondra seemed less thrilled and signed with the Thrashers in 2005-06 after only playing 23 games in Ottawa.

Brandon Bochenski was another long-shot prospect who looked like a steal. Taken with the 223rd pick, little was known about the college-commit other than he had a terrific shot. Yet at every level he played, Bochenski was a scoring machine; in his rookie AHL season, he was top-20 in points. Again, it looked like the Sens had a top prospect from deep in the 2001 draft, and again, they used his rising value in a trade, acquiring Tyler Arnason from the Chicago Blackhawks in 2006 in order to boost their second line. However, Arnason stuck around for even less time than Bondra, signing with the Colorado Avalanche after playing just 19 games in Ottawa.
Toni Dahlman was the final player to make the Senators from this draft. Taken 286th overall, Dahlman was a consistent scorer in Finland's top league. He joined the team the following season, playing 22 games between 2001-02 and 2002-03. Once his contract expired, he decided to return to Finland, as there seemed to be no place for him on the Senators.
The last rounds of the draft are often filled with busts, yet only one player wouldn't play any games for the Senators. Gregg Johnson, taken with the 256th pick, was an incredible high-school player but wasn't all that noticeable in college. Still, it earned him a spot on the 2002 U-20 United States World Junior team, and so the Senators brought him on board to their farm club. However, after three very uninspiring seasons in the AHL, Ottawa cut ties with Johnson and he floundered in the minors and Europe until 2010.
Final Grade – A
The success of the Yashin trade no doubt gave the Senators an extra shot of boldness at the 2001 draft, and they took several more risks than they had at the previous draft, ending up with many quality prospects. It would be one of the most successful drafts in terms of quality and quantity of that decade for the Senators. Both Spezza and Emery would become key pieces in the 2007 Stanley Cup Final appearance, and Schubert would contribute in a depth role. The only problem is that if 2001 was the greatest draft, then it's only going to go downhill from here.

In 1715 the chief interests in Bletchingley were those of William Clayton, the lord of the manor, and George Evelyn, who owned the adjacent manor of Godstone. After Evelyn's death, leaving no issue male, in 1724 his brother was defeated by a government candidate, H. A. Herbert, who was succeeded in 1727 by another, Sir Orlando Bridgeman, both presumably brought in on the Clayton interest. In 1734 Clayton's son, Kenrick, hitherto under age, was returned with his father, on whose death in 1744 the vacancy was filled by Kenrick's younger brother. In 1751 Kenrick consolidated his family's hold on the borough by purchasing the Godstone estate.1 About this time the 2nd Lord Egmont in his electoral survey describes Bletchingley as 'in the Claytons entirely'.

Abstract: Banking system crises are complex events that in a short span of time can inflict extensive damage to banks themselves and to the external economy. The crisis literature has so far identified a number of distinct effects or channels that can propagate distress contagiously both directly within the banking network itself and indirectly, between the network and the external economy. These contagious effects, and the potential events that trigger these effects, can explain most aspects of past crises, and are thought to be likely to dominate future financial crises. Since the current international financial regulatory regime based on the Basel III Accord does a good job of ensuring that banks are resilient to such contagion effects taken one at a time, systemic risk theorists increasingly understand that future crises are likely to be dominated by the spillovers between distinct contagion channels. The present paper aims to provide a model for systemic risk that is comprehensive enough to include the important contagion channels identified in the literature. In such a model one can hope to understand the dangerous spillover effects that are expected to dominate future crises. To rein in the number and complexity of the modelling assumptions, two requirements are imposed, neither of which is yet well-known or established in the main stream of systemic risk research. The first, called stock-flow consistency, demands that the financial system follows a rigorous set of rules based on accounting principles. The second requirement, called Asset-Liability symmetry, implies that every proposed contagion channel has a dual channel obtained by interchanging assets and liabilities, and that these dual channel pairs have a symmetric mathematical representation.

David Farragut
David Farragut was born in Knoxville, Tennessee on 5th July, 1801. As a child he was adopted by Commodore David Porter of the US Navy. Farragut entered the navy as a Midshipman in 1810 and during the 1812 War served under Porter on the frigate Essex. Porter captured several British whaling vessels and at the age of twelve Farragut was given command of one of these prize ships.
Farragut was sent to school for a while but by 1821 was an officer in the navy. He served in the West Indies under Porter and in 1824 was given his first independent command. He also saw action during the Mexican War (1846-48).
During the secession crisis Farragut moved his wife and son from Norfolk, Virginia, and moved to the North. On the outbreak of the American Civil War Farragut was given command of the West Blockading Squadron. He led the New Orleans expedition in December, 1861. Farragut and his foster brother, David Porter, captured the forts guarding the port in April, 1862 and troops led by General Benjamin F. Butler occupied the city soon afterwards.
American Civil War Encyclopedia
Promoted to the rank of Rear Admiral in July, 1862, Farragut he successfully opened up the Mississippi to Vicksburg. He was also involved in the campaign against Port Hudson and the assault on Mobile Bay (August to December, 1864).
Farragut became America's first Vice Admiral on 23rd December, 1864. He was made a full admiral in 1866 and given command of the European Squadron. David Farragut died in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, on 14th August, 1870.

The flag was flown by Dean Halkes and his chair-pushing friends who he calls his Band of Brothers but it was flying on behalf of all our runners and indeed anyone who is living with MND.
Dean and his team did the Brighton Marathon in April this year and there is more about him in the Summer 2018 edition of 'Thumbprint' (pages 16-17).
The flag was seen by many thousands of spectators and runners. But it was not the only eye-catching feature of the team.
Less spectacular, perhaps, but equally spirited was our other chair-push – that of Cath Muir and her entourage of Dave Muir and James Muir. Cath gives way to no-one when it comes to vivacity and love of life.
Then there was Team Stevo – the personal tribute squad for ex-rugby player Phil Stephenson. What does it tell you about someone when around 20 people are willing to run a half-marathon on his behalf? We spotted Andy, Ben, Bob, Chloë, Danny, Dawn, Debbie, George, Jason, Jody, Laura, Matthew, Nick, Paul, Rachel, Tom, Toby and Wendy – and there was probably some we missed.
There were other scene-stealers there as well, when some dads were left holding the baby. Which mainly shows that infants are not easily impressed by their parents' athletic exploits. Here are Baby McDougall, Baby Ross and Baby Hale.
Three of our runners turned in times of under 1 hr 40 mins. First in was Greg Hale with the remarkable time of 1 hr 28 minutes. Our first female finisher was Louise Bell of the Scott Bell Fund. Her time 1 hr 38 mins clipped 2 minutes off her time last year. David Henderson completed in 1 hr 31mins.
Our returning fast runners mostly produced slightly slower times this year compared with last time but there were exceptions. Elliot Sykes brought his time down by a minute to 1 hr 41. Mike Curtis did likewise to record 1 hr 51. Jak Newby (1 hr 52) knocked 3 minutes off his old time despite running in an all-enveloping fancy dress costume.
But the prize for improved performance must go to Sarah Mellowdew. She improved her time by a staggering 42 minutes, from 2 hrs 51 to 2 hrs 9 mins. No wonder she looks happy!
Apart from an abundance of orange tutus and headbands, fancy dress was less evident this year than usual. Maybe recent heatwaves have warned runners off taking the risk of overheating and dehydration. But Alex Wilson, Suzi Carberry, Jak Newby and duo Dan Hayes & Mathew Robson were among those who made a special effort to attract attention. Last year Dan and Mathew ran as Dumb & Dumber. This time they were those ace aviators, Dastardly and Muttley.
The Run is overall an upbeat and joyful affair, but we see salutary reminders of the reasons why so many are here. Various runners carry a dedication to a friend, colleague or loved one who has either died from or is living with MND. Here are just three of the dedications we noticed.
Families and friends were well-represented among our runners, whether as of bumper-sized groups such as Team Stevo or in smaller teams or pairs. Some were familiar faces who are regularly seen here. Others were welcomed for the first time.
There were parent and offspring pairings, siblings, couples, work colleagues, sports team-mates, etc. Here are a few of the many: Alix & Rosalyn, Ann & Kenneth, Becky & Doug, Kelly & Georgia, Diane & Andrew, Nigel & William, Kelly & Faye, Andrew, Sarah, Gemma & Peter and Brian, Roger & Paul.
Equally well-represented among our runners are those brave souls who undertake the Run without the support and companionship of any team or running-mate. That's fine if you are an experienced club runner and confident of your abilities and limits. It's much more of a challenge if running half-marathons is not your regular weekend hobby and you are dependent solely on yourself for the drive and motivation to get to the Finish. We particularly salute those wonderful runners for the MND cause who answer to this description and are an inspiration to all of us. There are many photos we could show here but here are some picked at random: Angela, Rachel, Julie, Lois, Lydia, John, Sue, Allan and Fern.
But Dean Halkes and his Band of Brothers had an even better way.
Still flying the flag, they stayed cool and calm – and with those collecting buckets at the ready, they collected.

Never the whole truth, Spiro Zavos

Truth: The Rise and Fall of the People's Paper
Redmer Yska
Craig Potton Publishing, $49.99,
During most of 1979 I lived with my family in Menton, in the south of France, trying to write the Great New Zealand novel as a Katherine Mansfield Fellow. That May, The Real Muldoon, my political biography of the New Zealand Prime Minister was published. The book's editor and publisher Ian Grant (who is a superb practitioner, incidentally) decided I needed to come back to New Zealand for interviews and other promotions. So I caught a bus to Nice, flew to Frankfurt, suffered a longish Hong Kong stopover, and landed almost two days later at Auckland Airport. I staggered, bleary-eyed and stiff-backed, from the international to the domestic section to catch a final flight to Wellington for a TV interview with Muldoon that night.
Along the way I noticed a billboard for the Truth newspaper. There on a (muck-raking) yellow background in letters of huge black type was the hard-sell message: "NEW BOOK INSULTS MY MUM – ROB".
The new book was none other than The Real Muldoon. The insult related to the scoop I'd gathered from Warren Freer (a Truth bête noire once described by the newspaper as "the worst kind of communist sympathiser") that Muldoon's mother had been a member of the Labour Party in Freer's electorate. There was also the matter of the book's cover. It depicted Muldoon as a puppet type of figure. The dust jacket showed the puppet's arms cut at the elbows. But the New Zealand Listener, whose long extract from the book had prompted Muldoon's outburst, revealed the full puppet on its cover with stumps in the place of hands. Muldoon believed the cover made him look deformed. He was furious.
The Prime Minister supported this Truth front-page verbal assault with a series of vicious, personal attacks against me in his Truth column, "Rob Says". It resulted in a vintage Truth onslaught. The book had over 30 errors, Muldoon claimed. Wrong. I had got the name of his mother wrong. Wrong again. Zavos was "a scion of the Greek fish-and-chip-shop aristocracy" who had tried to rise beyond his proper station "by marrying a diplomat's daughter". Correct in facts but wrong in its nasty insinuations. A prominent civil rights lawyer made contact. He offered to act for me in a defamation action. I turned him down.
Why? I believed that Truth, for all its faults (and they were many), was a battlers' newspaper in an era when the major newspapers were pious establishment mouthpieces. I disagreed with the tactic often adopted by the Left to sue Truth. My belief was and is that people in the public eye have to expect (in the expression used by Harold Wilson, who himself faced plenty of verbal bouncers) to face and confront the fast bowlers without recourse to trying to gag opponents.
My book had a number of bouncers that had forced a Muldoon retaliation. Moreover, I was friendly with a number of Truth journalists, all of them excellent practitioners: Bob Edlin (later to become Truth's youngest editor at age 27), the charismatic photographer Peter Bush and, especially, Hedley Mortlock, Truth's engaging and extremely competent sports editor. Mortlock, as it happened, was the newspaper's last editor when it degenerated into the house magazine of the sex industry with billboards like: LOTTO LOUSE GOT ME PREGNANT.
While chatting about politics, rugby and life in the messy Truth office in Garrett Street with Mortlock and others, I'd occasionally notice the tallish, pale-faced Russell Gault, the demonic and slightly mad (in my opinion) editor of Truth at the time. He had sunken eyes and a menacing look about him. He would engage in intense, whispered conversations with, say, Tony Dominik, a star reporter. We all presumed that Gault had just received his latest briefing about reds under and in the beds from the Security Intelligence Service.
André Gide was once asked who was the greatest French poet. "Victor Hugo, alas," he replied. I would paraphrase a similar answer if asked which has been New Zealand's greatest newspaper: "Truth, alas."
Redmer Yska, a reporter on Truth at the time I was a front-page story, and now a Wellington journalist and historian, has written a lively and informative account of the paper's history. It is the best book about journalists and journalism in New Zealand I have read. In a measured and informed manner, he exposes why the newspaper in its glory days deserved its huge 200,000 circulation. And why this circulation deservedly collapsed under the editorship of Gault, who became power-mad as "a hard-driving demagogue".
Truth notables are depicted by Yska accurately and are skilfully put into their Truth context: the guiding genius, defamation expert, military-obsessed and back-room fixer with contacts with the SIS, James Dunn; the old Wellington and Catholic identity Pat Lawlor, who finally resigned over his horror about the newspaper's "slimy court sensations"; Sir Bernard Freyberg, who contributed a swimming column, "Plunge" in the 1920s; Iris Wilkinson (Robin Hyde), a lively staffer for a couple of months on the women's page; Brian Connolly, a masterful, safe-handed editor; John A Lee, whose novel Hunted, a searing account of Depression New Zealand, was serialised over 13 weeks to huge sales; the business leader Sir Cliff Plimmer, who acted as a smooth conduit between the newspaper and a conservative political leadership; Maurice Shadbolt, a stringer who reported bizarre stories from Taranaki; Geoffrey Palmer, who for 18 months edited Truth's "Ask a Lawyer" department: and Gault, the Lucifer in the newspaper's Paradise Lost saga, who infamously outed Marilyn Waring (as a lesbian), Brian Edwards (in a de facto relationship) and Dr Bill Sutch, Jack Lewin and Gerald O'Brien (supposed organisers of a "sinister scheme to socialise" New Zealand). It was the demagogic Gault who instigated the insane "Birch the Bashers" campaign that finally destroyed the newspaper's credibility as a battlers' champion.
Yska's account starts in 1905 with the establishment of Maoriland Truth by John Norton, one of Sydney's infamous "Wild Men". The new New Zealand newspaper was modelled on the Sydney Truth, a notorious scandal sheet that in the words of an historian of journalism was "aggressive and irreverent, mocking kings, governors and other great personages". The New Zealand edition, with the slogan "Above All for NEW ZEALAND" on the masthead, followed a similar line of attack.
"Wowsers" were exposed and vilified. There were relentless attacks on supposedly corrupt police officials. Maori were romanticised, and Chinese and other foreigners lambasted. The appalling treatment of pacifists in WWI was fearlessly exposed. Sex scandals were a staple. In 1920, a Wellington establishment figure Ernest Wilmot, who exposed himself to Kelburn schoolgirls, received the full Truth treatment. Starting in 1931, four best-selling cookery books were published. Sordid details of divorce cases were avidly reported. In 1953, New Zealand was agog when an Auckland millionaire wool broker, Charles Prevost, brought a divorce petition against his wife Yvonne. Gordon Hutter, a high-profile radio sports announcer, was cited as the co-respondent. The case went on for two weeks. The supposedly solid and respectable world of Auckland's establishment was exposed in all its rotten excessive and expensive awfulness.
Yska argues that this case prompted the Labour Government to take away the rights of newspapers (essentially Truth) to unrestricted coverage of divorce cases. This decision created unintended consequences. Truth filled the sex scandal void with SIS-inspired attacks on Labour politicians, trade unionists, anti-tour agitators, anyone with Left inclinations, Maori radicals or any individuals (people like myself) who upset its demigods. These groups, however, were the core of the readership.
They turned from Truth to talkback radio, the new medium of television and to the new Sunday newspapers. These outlets were Truth-lite. But with their consumer advocacy, an extensive coverage of sports, columnists with strong opinions, celebrity gossip and highly-charged political coverage they retained enough of the elements that made Truth (deservedly) such a popular newspaper in its greatest days.
Karl Marx suggested that history repeats itself, first as tragedy and then as farce. I take this aphorism to mean that great institutions kill themselves in the end by becoming caricatures of what made them great. This is what happened to Truth. The newspaper turned on the people and groups it had once championed. This important story in the social history of New Zealand is sympathetically and artfully told by Yska. In my mind's eye I can see the appropriate Truth billboard: "NEW BOOK TELLS TRUTH ABOUT SCANDAL-SHEET".

Singer R. Kelly charged in Minnesota with soliciting sex from minor

Singer R. Kelly, jailed in New York last month after he was charged in Brooklyn and Chicago with numerous sexual misconduct felonies, was charged on Monday in Minnesota with soliciting sex from a minor at a Minneapolis hotel room 18 years ago.
The 52-year-old R&B vocalist known for such hits as "I Believe I Can Fly," is accused in the Minnesota case of paying a 17-year-old girl $200 to take off her clothes and dance for him, and then engaging in sexual contact.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said, however, that the sexual activity did not include intercourse. He said the girl told an older brother about the incident at the time, but "did not come forward until all these other allegations about R. Kelly" surfaced. She called a law enforcement hotline with her account in January.
Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman said the girl told an older brother about the incident at the time, but "did not come forward until all these other allegations about R. Kelly" surfaced. She called a law enforcement hotline with her account in January.
Kelly's lawyer, Steve Greenberg, posted a message on Twitter saying, "Give me a break. This is beyond absurd."
The Grammy-winning performer, whose full legal name is Robert Sylvester Kelly, already is accused of preying on numerous juveniles in federal cases in New York City and Chicago and in a state case brought in Cook County, Illinois.
An indictment filed in federal court in Brooklyn last month accuses Kelly of running a criminal enterprise in which he recruited women and underage girls to have sex with him, isolating them, and often controlling what they ate and when they went to the bathroom.

The Grand is an active part of the community in Macon and as a part of Mercer University. We often take on college students as interns and student workers, showing them the ropes at our historic home. Over the summer, we have Leah Duval coming on as a marketing guru intern. Here's more about Leah:
Hello! My name is Leah Duval. I am currently a senior at Florida State University studying to obtain BA in Music and a BS in African American Studies.
Growing up in Macon, I was immediately engulfed into the arts culture here. As a little girl I took ballet lessons in the heart of downtown, took art classes at many art centers, and eventually, ended up taking voice lessons at Mercer University, where I discovered my love for singing. Performing at the Grand Opera House has always been a big dream of mine. Ever since I was a little girl, I have admired the Grand. It was always a special treat when I got the chance to see the annual Nutcracker of Middle Georgia with my whole family and watch the magic happen on the stage. In 2018, I finally got the chance to perform on the Grand stage. It was such an honor and privilege to be able to perform right where so many icons had performed before me.
When I started studying in college, I realized there was a big disconnect between professional music spaces and opportunities for people of color. The arts can be used for educational enlightenment, mental health coping mechanisms and a form of self-expression – and I want everyone to have access to that. I wanted to find a way to bridge this gap between the arts and people of color and I've found that through arts administration. With arts administration, I can help more people of color get into arts programs that will help elevate them all the way through professional music. With this career, I will also be able to decrease the stigma that only certain types of people can be a part of art spaces. With more diversity in the arts world, there will be endless possibilities!
I feel like the Grand is truly at the forefront of this change in the community. They have really transformed the narrative that only certain people are allowed in their space. Working behind the scenes, I have discovered that they have a diverse line-up, special events for all types of people, and making sure the Grand is truly a place for everyone. I am so excited to keep working with the Grand to learn more and also do more for my community!
Meet Leah at The Grand this weekend at the Otis Music Camp final performance – she interns for the Otis Redding Foundation, too!

HomeTestimonialThe Suits speak for themselves!
I first went to Noble Fox when I wanted top quality suits for myself and my groomsmen for my wedding. The service provided by Phil was amazing as he talked me through all of the options and materials available and I was really impressed by how much I could customize to make my own bespoke tailored suit.
The final result was a beautifully cut suit that fit perfectly and I received almost as many compliments as the bride on the wedding day! Since then I have gone to Noble Fox for several more suits and shirts and each time I am blown away by the quality and the fit.
I have recommended several of my friends to go to Noble Fox for suits and they have all been as impressed as I was, overall a great service and the suits speak for themselves!


This card reminds us to honor life. Water is life! Degradation of water is degradation of self. Every thought and every action we take either supports a strong outcome for the entire planet or it does not. Even occasional or brief associations with people who are emotionally toxic or exceptionally brilliant can profoundly affect your performance and productivity. Place this card under your water bottle, with your filtration system, etc. to charge your water. Place with a photo of you and your mother to clear both physical and non-physical weaknesses arising from the amniotic fluid and cerebral spinal fluid.
Many people have been intentionally subjected to degradation through ridicule, humiliation and other demeaning tactics to lower their status in society Guilt and shame are stored in DNA and continually influence thoughts unless cleared. The Earth is also suffering degradation on a mass scale because of unclean thoughts.

You May Not Know about This Diabetes Type--But You Should
November 14, 2017 Priya Shah, MD
Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults affects 10 percent of all people with diabetes
Adam Clark had already been living with type 2 diabetes when he started losing control of his blood sugar, despite the oral medication he was taking. Feeling run down and lethargic, the Tustin resident went to his physician for a test, which revealed his body had stopped producing insulin entirely. Clark's diabetes was no longer type 2, but it wasn't officially type 1 either--he was in a different classification, called latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA).
Clark hadn't heard of LADA--which some people also call type 1.5 diabetes--and odds are most people haven't, even though about 10 percent of all people with diabetes fall into this category.
"It's an interesting entity," says Priya Shah, MD, Clark's endocrinologist who is board certified in diabetes, endocrinology and metabolism, and is affiliated with St. Joseph Hospital, Orange. "LADA patients are usually diagnosed as type 2 diabetics. They may make some insulin, and they can manage it with oral medication and diet and exercise for about five to six years, sometimes less and sometimes as many as 12 years, before they stop producing insulin. But with normal type 2 diabetes, it can be controlled much longer, and with type 1 diabetes, the need for insulin is immediate. LADA is a bridge between the two."
There's not one specific trigger for LADA, but there are some telltale signs that a patient may have this form of diabetes. It usually presents later in life, often after age 35, patients tend to be thin, and generally tend to have antibodies to insulin producing cells within the pancreas. They may also suffer from low energy and unexplained infections. Perhaps the most important symptom is erratic blood sugar levels.
"Often I will have a patient reporting compliance with the treatment program for type 2 diabetes, but it doesn't seem to be working," Dr. Shah says. "Type 1 diabetes has significant blood sugar swings, but type 2 doesn't have that variability. When I see significant swings I suspect the patient has a true need for insulin."
While some LADA patients can continue using oral medications, insulin is the treatment of choice. And that shift to insulin dependence can have emotional repercussions, Dr. Shah says.
"I've encountered it personally in patients who are trying to understand the disease and the diagnosis, and I try to be encouraging," she says. "With type 2 patients, I stress diet and exercise can reverse a lot of the disease, but LADA patients don't have that same potential because it's an autoimmune issue. Therein lies the challenge--patients don't have as much power to control the disease with lifestyle changes, but with insulin their diet doesn't have to be as strict because they have the insulin to combat it. Type 2 patients can't indulge in carbs because their blood sugar would go up. So there are pluses and minuses on both ends of the spectrum. And some patients don't want to be on insulin but others are encouraged because with the insulin, they are finding something that works well for them."
Clark is part of the latter group. After his LADA diagnosis he started insulin injections and about three years later he switched to an insulin pump. "It's been life changing for me," says Clark, who turns 50 next month. "It gave me the freedom to do the things I want to do. I'm still very active; I will not let this hold me down." That includes everything from enjoying a glass of wine in moderation to cycling to removing a large tree stump from his yard with a pickax and shovel.
Clark counsels others who are diagnosed with LADA to be a participant in their health care. "I am my own advocate--I will challenge and question," says Clark, adding that his doctor-patient relationship with Dr. Shah is strong. "You have to learn about the diagnosis and understand it."
Clark also points out that LADA doesn't have to be a death sentence. "There's a new normal that you find. It's a change in lifestyle but it doesn't have to change the quality of life. Honestly, where I am at right now compared to type 2, life is better now. I've got more control over my blood sugar; I'm no longer chasing it."
