Borrowing can be as easy as allowing lenders to read everything on your smartphone. Finance will never be the same.
Robots are increasingly replacing people as decision makers in lending, a trend that will transform North Texas finance for better or worse.
The impetus comes partly from Africa, where startup technology needs only 10 seconds to determine whether to loan as little as $2.50 to the working poor, with interest rates as low as 6 percent. To establish who is a good risk, lenders' technology culls clues of creditworthiness from an applicant's smartphone by running private information like texts and social media posts through high-powered analytics. Candidates give permission up front for this so-called data scraping. Closer to home, San Francisco-based Social Finance offers consumers two-minute loan applications that consider factors such as education and work history.
AI is a group of hardware- and software-based technologies that use cutting-edge procedures to solve problems.
Perhaps due to AI's regulatory and legal uncertainties, many community banks in Dallas-Fort Worth haven't yet taken the plunge.
"We currently don't use AI for any of our loan decisions. It's all human brain power," says a spokesperson for Dallas-based Veritex Holdings, the $2.5 billion assets parent of Veritex Community Bank.
As more powerful computers crunch more numbers simultaneously, technology increasingly can understand humans' language, make expert-level decisions, and learn without explicit programming to teach it. Because AI needs information to work best, the biggest banks are using it on their vast data hoards to build elaborate systems for deciding who to loan to and at what price, according to Scott MacDonald, the president and CEO of the Southwestern Graduate School of Banking at Southern Methodist University's Cox School of Business.
As credit scores only measure a borrower's willingness to and history of re-paying debt, the largest reporting bureaus are racing to develop models that assess earning potential, especially for businesses, MacDonald says. "With small businesses, there's more judgment involved, as lenders often must estimate revenue," he says. "AI is not able to replicate that now because there is not enough data. So loan officers may use 'soft information,' such as visiting an applicant's store." But even there, change is on the horizon.
Small businesses are poised to get more credit at better prices thanks to recent AI advances that make loan decisions based both on information in traditional databases, and "unstructured" data like online customer reviews.
AI's true value, though, is in allowing lenders to tweak credit they've extended to businesses based on real-time analysis of those companies' financial states, Wetherington adds.
"This also enables lenders to target mid-term offers for loan extensions and renewals," he says. But for small and mid-sized lenders to take advantage, they must first make existing systems talk to the AI and play nice together. Beyond that, lenders such as banks and credit unions must ensure any AI they use does not cause problems with government regulators, who haven't blessed many advanced tools. "Many of these tech startups are in for a rude awakening when they figure out how heavily regulated the banking industry is," says Jimmy Sawyers, chairman and co-founder of Tennessee-based Sawyers & Jacobs, a boutique technology and cyber-security consultancy.
A potential landmine is federal laws and regulations, starting with 1968's Truth in Lending Act, which requires lenders to clearly disclose the terms of a loan. By clicking the "I agree" button on some loan applications, consumers give online lenders permission to read and analyze private information on their smartphones, Sawyers says. "There will be borrowers who are surprised at how much access they've given to lenders. Then, slowly, legislation will emerge to protect the consumer," he says.
Another issue facing U.S. lenders in using AI is regulations relating to a 1974 law, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, which prohibits loan discrimination based on demographics, according to Jerry Sanchez, Dallas-based senior counsel at Dykema Cox Smith.
In addition to barring explicit discrimination, the law also bars "disparate impact" in lending policies or practices, he says. Disparate impact is when ostensibly neutral policies have a negative impact on a group that the equal credit laws protect. Allowing AI to determine on its own who gets loans and what price they pay could unintentionally exclude some consumers from mainstream finance.
Another issue can be the technology's ability to change its own rules and procedures based on what works, experts say. Humans can't totally control AI in the way they can keep a handle on today's rules-based systems for making decisions. Regulators would give more scrutiny if that results in AI, say, turning down loans to women, experts say.
An even thornier question is humans' inability to understand decisions that AI makes. Existing tools can already incorporate tens of thousands of variables into approval determinations, a so-called "black box" whose reasoning for determinations is beyond what lenders can grasp.
This could become more intense in the next decade, when ultra-powerful computers come online that harness peculiar laws of "quantum mechanics," which the Wall Street Journal calls the "physics of atoms and particles." "Google claims to have a quantum computer that is 100 million times faster than today's systems," Sawyers says. "Borrowers who are impressed with decisions in hours will soon expect them in seconds." But federal and state watchdogs won't cotton to loan decisions that lenders can't explain.
"Regulators require banks provide a clear reason for declining a loan or pricing it higher than others," Sanchez says. "They will not permit lenders to use a 'black box' to make credit decisions in the U.S." Tools have emerged from the likes of California's ZestFinance to essentially reverse-engineer AI's loan decisions so humans can get their arms around them. But regulators haven't blessed them yet, Sanchez adds.

Decision on opening Queensland pubs, restaurants expected tomorrow
By Lydia Lynch
May 7, 2020 — 3.23pm
Time limits on dining, spaced-out tables and disposable menus could be among the list of rules imposed on Queensland restaurants and cafes when they reopen.
Dozens of business owners from regional and metropolitan parts of the state met with Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk on Thursday to lay out "COVID-safe" plans to reopen.

Ms Palaszczuk has indicated cafes, restaurants and bars could reopen in some capacity by June and a decision was expected to be made following national cabinet on Friday.
"I hope to have something out to Queenslanders shortly there after," she said.
"There is a lot of work happening, we have got to have COVID-safe plans in place for cafes restaurants, pubs and RSLs to reopen.
"All of that work is progressing at a rapid rate."

Queensland Hotels Association CEO Bernie Hogan said hotels and bars across the state were "poised and ready to go" once restrictions eased.
He said work was already under way to retrain staff on hospitality hygiene practices and reminding them not to come to work if they were sick.
"We need to get our people back working and securing their livelihoods," he said.
"Hotels are some of the biggest employers across the state and we need a light at the end of the tunnel for them.
"Everything will really hinge on national cabinet tomorrow."
Mr Hogan said the association would encourage all patrons to download the COVIDSafe app before visiting hotels or bars.
Restaurant and Catering Australia boss Wes Lambert said industry bodies were keen to see timelines for reopening after widespread closure of businesses on March 23.
"It was a fantastic meeting, the Premier listened intently to concerns and views of owners across the state," he said.
"I would like to thank the Premier and we support her in her desire to get industry up and running as soon as possible."
The Northern Territory will open restaurants, cafes, clubs and bars on May 15.
Victoria and NSW were set loosen some lockdown restrictions after the weekend, but reopening pubs and restaurants was likely still weeks away, while Western Australia was set to release its own road-map to recovery at the weekend.

Turn in your exploding phone and get a new one before hopping on a flight.
Sasmung has officially cancelled the Galaxy Note 7 following its exploding battery scandal, but there are still plenty of people out there who need to exchange their phones. If you're planning to fly soon, that need got stronger a few days ago, when the US banned the phone from all flights. To help air travelers get a phone that they're actually allowed to have on a plane, Samsung is setting up exchange stations in airports to give customers refunds or a new phone.
So far, the company has only officially announced the program in Australia, but ABC News out of San Francisco reports that Samsung is set up at the San Francisco International Airport to help customers exchange their phones. If you get a new phone from Samsung at an airport, the company will transfer all the data from your Note 7 so you don't lose any vacation pictures.
CNET notes that Samsung also has exchange stations set up in South Korea and has plans to get them into high traffic airports around the world. They're set up ahead of security checkpoint, where the Note 7 would be cause to turn passengers around, at least in the US. If it somehow hasn't become clear yet, the obvious message here is that you should turn in your Note 7 and get another phone, as soon as possible. Why wait until you get to the airport? But for those who have been traveling while the airplane ban went into effect, these exchange stations could be quite handy.

This morning Amadeus announced strong results for 2014, supported by successful expansion in both Distribution and IT Solutions and by the contribution from the consolidation of our M&A activity earlier in the year.
In Distribution we exceeded industry growth by 2.0 percentage points with air travel agency bookings rising 5.2% to 466.5 million and our market share expanded by 0.7 percentage points to reach 40.7%.Our out-performance was partly driven in the last part of the year by the migration of travel agencies previously connected to Topas in South Korea.
Meanwhile in IT Solutions our Passengers Boarded increased by 12.9% to total 695.4 million. This was driven by the migration of more airlines to Altéa in 2013 and 2014. At the close of the year, 133 airlines globally were contracted for Altéa. We expect Altéa to continue to grow steadily until year-end 2017, by which time we expect to achieve close to one billion passengers boarded per year.
Important progress was also made in our new business areas of IT solutions for airport, hotel and rail. Airport IT continues to gain traction in the ground handling market through our Altéa DCS for Ground Handlers solution; whilst our recently launched Airport Common Use Service (ACUS) offering had a very positive reception in the market; and our portfolio of airport management solutions continued to gradually grow its customer base. In Hotel IT and Rail IT, we continued our progress with InterContinental Hotels Group and BeneRail International, with the aim of developing IT community platforms for these sectors.
We believe Amadeus is uniquely placed to address these new market opportunities and to drive innovation in these segments based on our travel sector expertise and focus on technology. We remain committed to innovation through our continued investment in R&D, which in 2014 increased by 8.7%, reaching 15.9% of our revenue.
These operational successes delivered strong overall group financial results. Including recent acquisitions, year-on-year adjusted profit grew 9.9% to €681.1 million. Revenues increased 10.1%, to €3,417.7 million, and EBITDA grew 9.9%, to €1,306.0 million.
Our resilient transaction-based business model also allowed us to continue to generate cash flow and improve our financial stability. We maintain a flexible financial structure with net debt at 1.32x EBTIDA (€1,738.5 million at December 31, 2014).
Additionally, we announced in December a share buyback programme worth €320 million that will remain in force until May 29, 2015. The Board of Directors has also proposed a 50% pay-out target ratio for 2014 and will submit a final gross dividend of €0.70 per share from the 2014 reported profit, an increase of 12% vs. the 2013 dividend – returning €313.3m to shareholders for the 2014 year.
For more information, you can find the press release and other documents published today on our Investor Relations website . There you can find a wide range of financial facts and figures; you can also download the Amadeus Investor App to view our share graph and more on your smart phone.
Our next financial calendar announcement is scheduled for May, when we will announce financial results for the first quarter of 2015. That will be followed soon after with the publication of our Global Report for 2014, ahead of the Shareholder General Meeting (SGM) in June.


BOCA RATON, Fla. – Chris Perez scored 16 points, the last two on a buzzer-beating follow to give Stetson a 69-68 win over Florida Atlantic Tuesday night.
The Hatters (3-7) ended a six-game losing streak in dramatic fashion. Florida Atlantic's Greg Gantt, who led all scorers with 26 points, hit a 3-point shot with a hand in his face to five the Owls (5-6) a 68-67 lead with 7 seconds remaining. Perez then rebounded Aaron Graham's miss and scored at the buzzer to win it.
Graham came off the Stetson bench to score 16 points. Adam Pegg added 15 and Joel Naburgs 10.
Florida Atlantic led by double digits in the first half before leading 41-32 at the break. Later, a layup by Pablo Bertone (12 points) ended an Owls' drought of nearly 4 minutes, tying it at 60-60. Gantt then gave FAU two late leads, but Perez prevailed.


It's Time for a "Cattitude" Adjustment!
Not every kitty hates the water. These crazy cats love it!
I especially loved the cat wrapped in the towel... You'll see!
Thanks to longtime Cutehead Linda R. for sharing this cats that love baths video with us!
Very cute. I'm afraid that if my cats ever decided to take up swimming, I'd lose all the fish in the enclosure pond!
Hi ! I guess I could try to give my furry boy a bath - if I were strong enough to hold him... But my little lady cat would certainly try to bite me to death - no chance there.
Thanks for the funny video. I admire those brave kitties.
I'm having a very difficult time opening your emails in the new format. I use Microsoft Outlook and when I try to open it hangs up and I have to close out to get it to start working again.
I've been missing photos of your crew, is everyone good?
Everyone is great! I'm do a Three Cats Thursday for tomorrow and catch everyone up! I've been missing sharing them!
Anya loves to lay in the water iris and "fish". She isn't afraid of the water at all, and if she decided to go swimming I don't think the fish would be happy. I think they'd be yelling something other than Marco Polo!

When I was a child, I heard a piece of advice that I never forgot. My mother wanted to buy a new printer and asked her younger, more tech-savvy brother which all-in-one printer/scanner/fax machine she should buy. He explained that, while some of these machines were decent, almost none of them were great. The reason was of course compromise.
At the time, these all-in-one wonders generally contained fairly low grade versions of each of the technologies present. So rather than buying a great printer built solely for printing, a great scanner built solely for scanning and a great fax machine built solely for faxing, instead you were purchasing one machine that did all of these jobs significantly worse than the dedicated machines. You received the conveniences of price and space, but as a result were forced to surrender a degree of quality.
This same logic applies to social media aggregators. Rather than using separate dedicated apps for Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, you could use an aggregator, but the result is always a sacrifice in the quality of the experience that you receive.
It's often the case that one of these functions is the primary, and the others are more of an afterthought. We see this with TweetDeck, an application built for Twitter that also offers moderate functionality for Facebook and other social networks.
The problem here is obvious. In a marketplace of free products and infinite space, we can easily choose the dedicated products that provide the better experience. If the official Twitter app has the best Twitter experience and the official Facebook app has the best Facebook experience, I'll use those over one app that gives me a watered-down version of each.
This goes further when you consider more than simply features. Apps like Gowalla have a strong personality to them. I might be able to use the service and check in from another app, but by doing so I miss out on much of the true Gowalla experience.
This idea is purely my own, but I think it holds merit. Once again, the assumption is that we're busy people who have better things to do than run around to all of these apps. However, for the most part, social media is great because it gives us something to do! Facebook wasn't created for CEOs with limited time, it was created for college kids who spend a lot of time on their computers and are always looking for something engaging.
There's something supremely addictive about logging into Facebook and seeing that notification badge light up. It gives us a sort of psychological affirmation. There are real people out there who care enough to respond to something we've said, done or posted. Once we're done with that, we pop over to Twitter and experience the same high all over again.
By combining all of our social services into one place, I wonder if we kill a main function of social media. Now we only have one place to check, one notification badge, one compiled stream of data. Now our high comes all at once and is then gone, leaving us bored once again with a bitter taste in our mouth towards the aggregation app that has somehow taken the magic out of our favorite time-eating occupation.
To be sure, social media aggregation isn't always a bad idea. There are some notable exceptions to the arguments above, the first of which is presented by the business world. Here, time is sensitive and costly and so it makes sense to cram as much as you can into one place. You really don't time to keep up on Facebook and Twitter for your business and HootSuite is therefore an amazing money-saving tool.
Another important place where social aggregation works is in an app where the idea is implemented primarily in an entertaining way rather than a purely utilitarian way. The key here is innovation: to provide something that is genuinely not obtained from using the service normally. The result is synergy: the whole is greater than the simple sum of the parts.
We see this in apps like Flipboard for iPad. Here we have a Twitter and a Facebook feed rolled into one app, but the experience is unlike anything you typically received from either service. Instead of a simple stream of text, you get an interactive magazine of rich content. In fact, it's so unique that you could conceivably browse through the default Twitter app and then jump over to Flipboard and see the information presented so differently that it doesn't feel redundant.
In closing, I believe that developers need to stop imagining that merely combining a few social services into one place is either innovative or useful. Instead they should be seeking to create truly unique experiences that bring something to the table that's more than the sum of its parts. Apps that either target business customers or fundamentally change the way we interact with popular social services are ripe markets that merit much more exploration (Twitter itself is encouraging expansion in these areas from third party developers).
Leave a comment below and let us know what you think of social media aggregators. Who gets it wrong and who gets it right? What's the key difference?

TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT / THE BIG SLEEP
Attending a double feature screening of TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT and THE BIG SLEEP is like going to the factory where they make Reese's. You have the peanut butter (Humphrey Bogart) and the chocolate (Lauren Bacall). Both are independently delicious items, but items nonetheless. Paired together in just the right way, they make an indelible combination that is problematically delicious. It hits the spot. And you will want more. Lucky for you, in a double feature, that is exactly what you get.
Lauren Bacall is a classic Hawks woman, both on screen and off: beautiful, tough, a woman who sure as hell doesn't need a man, but is damn good at keeping him on his toes. Howard Hawks utilizes long takes in TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, letting your eyes soak in exotic Martinique, the many colorful characters of the film, as well as Bogart and Bacalls' every move.
This quote from an article in Variety best describes who Bogart was to America, and how he became the icon we know him as today: "In THE MALTESE FALCON (1941), his portrayal of Sam Spade defined the cinematic version of the classic American private eye. And as Rick Blaine in CASABLANCA (1942), he proved himself as a romantic lead. Whether in a white dinner jacket or a trench coat and snap-brim fedora, Bogart was, by the early 1940s, one of the top movie stars in the world and also a timely symbol of post–Pearl Harbor America: tough but compassionate, skeptical yet idealistic, betrayed yet ready to believe again, and, above all, a potent and deadly opponent."
Besides needing to see TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT and THE BIG SLEEP for the ineffable and often improvised banter, the 1944 and 1946 films were particularly important for the début and development of newcomer, 19-year-old Lauren Bacall. TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT packs a wallop, not only by introducing Bacall to the world, but by creating one of the most famous and sexiest on-screen couples, igniting an off-screen romance (romance…scandal…potayto…potahto) between Bacall and Bogart. By 1945, the filming of THE BIG SLEEP wrapped, and after years of trying to make it work, so had Bogart's marriage. Bogart divorced his wife and married Lauren Bacall. They remained married until Bogart's death in 1957.
In TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT, Hawks uses shadows, framing, and cinematography to make the film visually alluring; reminiscent of film noir. THE BIG SLEEP is not so obviously cinematic, but it was never intended to give the audience the same kind of visual wealth of mise-en-scene. Instead, Hawks gives us a film where we are with the protagonist for the entire film. As the audience, we are just as confused as Marlowe (and famously, even the writers), only knowing what he knows. In a strange way, the extensive shots of a confused Marlowe might help us identify with him as we, the audience, try to figure out the mystery with him. He tugs his ear, a trick Bogart and Hawks came up with to make Marlowe seem relatable and ordinary, and it works. We want to like him. Bogart makes Marlowe vulnerable—Hawks' direction allows us to see that vulnerability, and the audience is given a more intimate look into Bogart (or rather, his persona through the character of Philip Marlowe) than ever before.
TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT proved to be a box office smash, and Bacall became hot stuff in every sense of the phrase. The story, itself, originated from a Hemingway story of the same name, remade almost completely as a screenplay (William Faulkner is one of the credited screenwriters), and further shaped by Howard Hawks. The clever, often rapid fire, and overlapping dialogue found in TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT and THE BIG SLEEP is a playful technique Hawks inaugurated into his canon with his 1940 screwball comedy HIS GIRL FRIDAY.
Before Hawks introduced the idea of overlapping dialogue to Hollywood, witty banter in a Hollywood film was a tennis match of dialogue that you might find, and greatly enjoy, in a Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy film (I would suggest ADAM'S RIB). Hawks, in his brilliant, rebellious Hawksian manner, sculpted the dialogue and directed it so that it was ideal for the characters and the actors. Hawks turned HIS GIRL FRIDAY into a delightful machine gun barrage of dialogue. THE BIG SLEEP becomes a boxing match, with crescendos of words building into punches and jabs until someone steps back in a fancy footwork move of false grace. You can tell when a round has ended.
At times, TO HAVE OR HAVE NOT slows to a poker game pace. Looks replace words, highlighting Bacall's gorgeous smoky eyes, her direct piercing look, and the playfully challenging way Bogie looks back at her. The action of the plot contrasts with the sauntering pace of the romance. In terms of action, you get the funny cousin of CASABLANCA, complete with a boat chase and a lot of shooting that feels so out of place in the structure. It clearly exists only because someone insisted the film have a boat chase with lots of shooting. As the viewer, you are constantly longing for the film to return to the romance of word jousts and wordless conversations, where words mean one thing and eyes say another, for that is what makes this film unique. Careful direction and crafted cinematography give even one sultry look so much meaning and innuendo. All the audience wants to do is watch Bogart and Bacall watch each other.
Watching Bogart and Bacall spar against each other in love scenes has the intensity and passion of a dramatic love scene, but feels more like watching two kids with a chemistry set. They take turns adding elements that may or may not explode at any moment, laugh in each other's face and play chicken to see who will flinch first. When 1940s audiences watched the onscreen romances in TO HAVE AND HAVE NOT and THE BIG SLEEP, the films served as a very public documentation of the actors' personal off-screen romance. The National Legion of Decency's disapproval of both films only further attracted audiences to the veritable chemistry explosion that was clearly visible between Bogart and Bacall.
There are just a few reasons why, after just one scene together, you are going to crave as much Bogie and Bacall as you can get. Few things are sexier or more enjoyable than watching Bogie and Bacall watch each other.

We all want the people who visit our restaurants, shops, bars or offices to feel welcome. We want to create a sense of community and shared experience, whether our space is specifically designed for a niche group of coffee-connoisseurs, or the fact that we are all eating in and enjoying the same place at the same moment.
At Engaging Interiors we are fortunate to have an office situated above a bar. This venue is a traditional working men's club but also hosts dance classes, comedy nights and bands. We went to see The Guana Batz there this weekend and were struck by the way music brought together so many like-minded people. In this case, psychobillies. Coming together like this, to sing, dance and feel part of a tribe, is an elemental part of human nature. We are simply better, happier creatures when we are part of a community.
So, if the love-child of punk and rockabilly isn't your thing, how do you create this sense of unity and harmony in your own interior space? It's a question of knowing who you are, and then reaching out to customers who will find that USP or special part of your business identity appealing. Begin with your brand identity, whether you are a small coffee shop or a larger hotel. You need to be clear about who 'you' are, so that you can communicate this effectively to your potential customers.
Once you have a strong identity, fuse this into your website and communications (you can ask for help with branding if this feels daunting). When you've found the perfect space for your venture, engage an interior designer who can express this identity through your physical space and its fittings. Things like tables, wall finishes, external signage, lighting, floor materials and furniture placement are just as important as creating a shiny new logo or clever name. Your space is a massive asset and to create a welcoming venue that people will want to return to requires thought and expertise. Give your business the best possible chance of success by paying careful attention to the interior design.
Like many groups, customer bases are continuously evolving. In times where the bigger chains are struggling there are great opportunities for independent restaurants and bars to create their own tribe. Be aware of your customers' needs and wants. Provide them with a space that makes them feel comfortable, happy, satisfied and relaxed. Or with a mosh pit for pogo-ing psychobillies if that's their thing. Keep your branding and identity at the heart of your interior design but allow things to change over time as new materials and trends emerge.
If you want some assistance with creating the ideal working space for your business, get in touch. We would love to help you find your tribe.


If you were worried that Justin Bieber taking a break from music would affect his singing abilities -- don't worry, he's definitely still got it ... as you can see here.
The Biebs made a cameo Sunday during Hailey's Instagram Live session -- in which she was trying to link up with pro surfer Kelia Moniz to plug the Roxy sportswear company. The two of them are ambassadors for the brand, and Roxy even teased their joint chat.
While Hailey was waiting for Kelia to come online, her hubby popped up behind her and started singing a made-up tune dedicated to his former lead guitaritst, Dan Kanter. Apparently, Dan was one of the many people who tuned in and commented on Hailey's vid.
Hailey pointed it out to JB ... and he took it from there with an impromptu jam. Considering we haven't heard much of Bieber's pipes on display lately, we gotta say ... he sounds great.
More importantly, Justin seems to be in great spirits. This comes on the heels of his recent announcement that he's stepping away from music for a while to address some "deep rooted issues" ... as well as reports that he's seeking treatment for depression.
Also of note ... this offers a rare sneak peek into how the married couple interact with each other in the comfort of their home. Check it out ... they're pretty damn cute together.

Dallamora a trailblazer at Brandeis
Framingham native steps down from head coaching position of University's women's soccer team after 40 years
WALTHAM — Brandeis University women's soccer coach Denise Dallamora has announced her retirement after four decades as one of the pioneers in women's athletics at the Division III level.
Dallamora, who took over in 1980 and has been the only coach in Brandeis women's soccer history, will officially retire on May 31, 2020.
Dallamora, a Framingham native, will conclude her career ranked ninth among active Division III coaches in total victories and 13th all-time in Division III history. She is 23rd on the NCAA's all-time list of career wins, regardless of Division. Dallamora retires as one of only three NCAA women's soccer coaches with 40 years or more of tenure at their school.
"I have beyond enjoyed my 40 years here at Brandeis University," Dallamora said. "I would not have traded my experiences for the world. I have been so lucky to be able to do what I love to do at a place that is dear to my heart. Working with these amazing young women has been extremely gratifying. I'm leaving here honored that I was able to be a part of such an incredible program and university."
Brandeis director of athletics Lauren Haynie recognized Dallamora's contributions to the sport of soccer.
"Denise Dallamora is one of the most respected coaches in Division III soccer for good reason," Haynie said. "What she has meant to the game of women's soccer, and to Brandeis, is immeasurable. I am pleased to have gotten the opportunity to work with her, even for a short time."
Associate director of athletics Lynne Dempsey ('93), who played for Dallamora from 1989 to 1992, also praised her former coach.
"Hired as a female coach in the early 1980s, Denise fought for equality for women's athletics," Dempsey said. "She has been an advocate for women coaches and women administrators, and I'm thankful that she helped blaze the trail for all of us in the profession today."
Dallamora led Brandeis to the postseason in 20 of her 40 seasons on the sideline, reaching eight NCAA tournaments and 12 ECAC Division III New England tournaments. The Judges' 1988 squad was the first women's team in school history to make the NCAAs, while the 2012 Judges reached the national quarterfinals. The Judges made the NCAAs five years in a row from 2014 through 2018, including a run to the program's only Final Four in 2016. Brandeis also won back-to-back ECAC crowns in 2007 and 2008.
Dallamora joins Anson Dorrance of North Carolina and Aliceann Wilber of William Smith as one of three NCAA women's soccer coaches to have coached for four decades. She departs Brandeis with a career record of 378 wins, 284 losses and 72 ties for a .564 winning percentage. The Judges have won at least 10 games in each of the last eight seasons, 13 of the last 14 and 15 of the last 17. She was University Athletic Association, New England Intercollegiate Women's Soccer Association and New England Women's Eight Coach of the Year in 1988 and earned the NEWISA Service Award in 1991. Dallamora has coached six All-Americans and four Brandeis Hall of Famers.
Dallamora has been honored a number of times by the United Soccer Coaches. In 1994, she was presented with a letter of commendation proclaiming a career of exceptional service to the sport of soccer. She received their Women's Committee Award of Excellence in 2014, one of only three Division III coaches to receive the honor since the turn of the century. In 2016, after leading the Judges to the Division III Final Four, she was named the Division III National Coach of the Year. In 2017, a scholarship was named in her honor, granting one female coach free tuition to a United Soccer Coaches' coaching course or to the national convention in January.
In addition to her soccer duties, Dallamora has held many roles in the department – from athletic trainer, physical education instructor and at one point, the chair of physical education. Dallamora is a 1978 graduate of Northeastern University.
Brandeis will begin a national search for a successor immediately.


Yes, an angelfood cake made from scratch is awesome, but doesn't fir into this section. So, the 'easy' way to make a great snack, dessert, whatever you want to call it is offered up here.
Find a 'huge' bowl to mix the above ingredients. Suggestion is for no power tools, just a fork. The 'huge' bowl is suggested because the angelfood cake ingredients are so 'light' it's a bit of a bother to keep them from floating away while stirring to get the pineapple mixed in well. When fully mixed up, the hard part shows up ... how to you want to cook it up?
Then there's also the difference between glass, shiney, and black metal pans/containers .. so the suggested rule is to start taking a good look at about 10 minutes before the end of the suggested time and make a decision as to when the cooking is done.
In a tube pan, muffin tin, the cake will rise while cooking, usually showing cracks on the surface .. you'd be looking that the cracks are 'dry' all the way in. In a 'flat' cake pan, there isn't as much cracking, assumedly due to the increased and open surface area, so there's the old fallback on inserting and removing a toothpick to see if it comes back out with no vake dough attached.

The Le Mans collection gives tribute to the iconic racing cars of the past century when being a driver was synonymous of a certain appetite for risk, confidence and elegance.

The racing strap is made of suede leather and will develop a distinctive patina over time.

The chronograph has a stopwatch function that you can use to measure lap times from either the stands or the driver's seat.

17 November 2014 – Based on 300 first-hand victim and witness accounts, the UN report 'Rule of Terror: Living under ISIS in Syria' paints a devastating picture of civilian life inside ISIS-controlled areas in the northeast of Syria, concluding the armed group seeks to dominate every aspect of their lives through the 'calculated use of public brutality'.
Public executions, lashings and amputations have become a regular occurrence. Interviewees have remarked that there are 'always' heads and bodies on display in larger towns, serving as a warning to local residents.
Minorities have been forced either to assimilate or flee. Some have been forced to marry an ISIS fighter; others have been sold into sexual slavery. The Islamic State openly acknowledged the slavery industry in their online magazine Dabiq, stating it was reviving a Shariah custom.
According to Matthew Barber, a member of the Sinjar Crisis Management Team, ISIS has already abducted over 5,000 Yazidis, most of them women and girls.
In addition, the armed group uses education as a tool of indoctrination, aiming propaganda at children to foster a new generation of recruits. In many areas, the school curriculum has been amended to reflect ideological priorities and weapons training.
The report concludes that the crimes committed by ISIS against Syrians have been deliberate and calculated, and recommends an engagement of international accountability mechanisms, including the International Criminal Court, to hold individuals, including ISIS commanders, responsible for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
The report also emphasized that the lack of a political process had allowed extremism to fester and it was urgent to reach a sustainable solution to the on-going armed conflict in Syria through an inclusive and Syrian-led political process.
'The international community and the Syrian Government must engage in this process without further delay', concluded Commissioner Karen Koning AbuZayd.

Our narrator, Latchimin Hardial, has had quite a life, some would say; but through it all, she always has a smile on her face, concealing her past. As the story opens, Latchmin a.k.a. Malisa time-travels back fourteen years, which is around 2001. In that same year, she and her two brothers, Lakeram and Munesh, have just lost both of their parents and were left on the streets to suffer. With no maternal family wanting to do anything with the three children, and hardly any paternal side of the family left in Guyana, their only hope is their paternal grandmother who resides in the United States. Months passed, closing into a year, and Malisa and her two brothers have become homeless and malnourished. Luck comes their way when Munesh befriends a boy by the name of Chris, who explains to his mother, Usha, the situation and takes the three of them in her home. Usha then gets in touch with their grandmother Chan in the US and receives a payment to care for the three children. However, unaware to the children's grandmother, the boys are pulled out of school to work at Usha's stand, where she sells fruits and vegetables, and Malisa is left at home to do house chores while the three biological children that Usha has are feeding off the money the children's grandmother sends and are able to have an education. A couple of years pass, and Malisa is around four and a half, and luck is nowhere to be found for her. Usha's eldest son, Timo, tricks the young child into playing a children's game. He then locks the young child into his bedroom and rapes her. The entire town gets to know what has become of this young child, and Usha, knowing what sinful things her son is doing, goes along and takes no action into stopping it. Words become rumors, and rumors become news that start to spread like wildfire, and Malisa's grandmother gets to know everything. It is then that she begins making arrangements in bringing her granddaughter to the US to live with her. Successfully Malisa arrives after three attempts in the US on November 2, 2004, leaving behind her two brothers. However, upon staying with her eldest aunt, her father's sister, she is sexually molested by her aunt's boyfriend. Once again, her pain goes unheard, and her grandmother, aunt, and younger aunt do nothing to get justice for her. Despite not being loved and protected by her father's family, the best of luck falls upon her, and she is taken in by her grandmother's eighty-year-old boss, Cynthia Rossberg, and goes to live and attend school in Long Island. Cynthia's two daughters and family shower her with love, affection, and care and provide everything for her. Spending seven years of her life with Cynthia and her family, Malisa returns to Queens after her grandmother goes through stent implants in her heart and starts attending school there. Within a year, she falls in love with someone she has known for practically her whole life in the US. Keeping their relationship a secret, "Romeo and Juliet" are put to the ultimate test when their secret is exposed, and Malisa is pressured to put Ricky, the love of her life, in jail. Will she stoop under her family and put an innocent man in jail? Or will she follow her heart and do what's right and finally stop being the "puppet on a string" her family sees her as?

ABUJA, Nigeria, December 12, 2013/African Press Organization (APO)/ – Five ECOWAS Member States involved in the Abidjan-Lagos road corridor project have agreed to contribute US$50 million in "seed money" to ensure speedy implementation of the 1028-km project.
The Steering Committee agreed at its third ministerial session in Yamoussoukro on 10th December 2013, that the money would help fund preparatory activities and provide further evidence of commitment by the countries for public and private sector operators interested in investing in the project, a six-lane highway expected to carry some 75 per cent of goods transported in the region, linking most of its major ports.
The Committee, comprising Ministers of the Road Infrastructure and Works of Benin, Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Nigeria and Togo, also mandated the ECOWAS Commission to engage with partners to submit proposals for transaction advisory services and the mobilization of external funding for the project.
In addition, it mandated the Commission to finalise a joint funding request for the five countries to the African Development Bank (AfDB) to be signed by their Ministers of finance.
The one-day meeting was convened to review the rules of procedure, which defines the institutional framework for the project, an integral part of its Treaty, particularly the options for funding to fast track the project, as well as the joint request to the AfDB and the signing of the Treaty.
Infrastructure, Mr Patrick Achi praised the road infrastructure, works and legal experts for the diligent finalisation of the working documents during their three-day preceding meeting also held in Yamoussoukro.
He highlighted the importance of the project, the first phase of the Lagos-Dakar highway project to link the eastern and western coastal extremes of the region, as a veritable road artery that would contribute to strengthening the implementation of the region's integration programme.
The minister pledged the commitment of the country to the realisation of the project, conscious of the determination of regional leaders for its success because of its importance to the economic wellbeing of the region.
In the same vein, the ECOWAS Commissioner for Infrastructure, Mr Ebrima Njie said the project's realisation would facilitate intra-community movement of goods and persons, the bedrock of the region's integration project. It would also contribute to stimulating the regional economy and help reduce impediments to intra-community movement of goods and persons through greater efficiency, he affirmed.
In his speech, Nigeria's Minister of Works, Architect Mike Onolememen, who chairs the Committee, stressed the need for the countries to continue to demonstrate cohesion so as to realise the resolve of their Heads of State and Government towards the project which has attracted remarkable donor interest.
The ministers of Benin, Ghana and Togo also addressed the meeting, renewing their countries' commitment to the project.
Previous meetings of the Committee were held in Abuja, Nigeria and Accra, Ghana with the fourth now scheduled to be held in Cotonou, Benin Republic.
A minute's silence was observed at the meeting's opening ceremony in honour of South Africa's first black President, Dr. Nelson Mandela, who died last week.

To Buy This Basquiat, Swipe Right

Radiohead: School band demo up for auction
What's on TV This Week: 'Salt-N-Pepa' and 'Painting With John'
Testing the notion that blue-chip art can be sold with a swipe, the former Christie's executive Loic Gouzer on Monday will use his new app as the auction block for a large drawing by Jean-Michel Basquiat that is estimated to sell for $8 million to $9 million.
The app, called Fair Warning, started as a lark, Mr. Gouzer said, a way to keep busy under lockdown and to see whether the art world could pivot to online sales in a meaningful way. (Auction houses have since held their first — successful — completely online sales).
The first piece that he auctioned on the app, Steven Shearer's 2018 portrait, "Synthist," sold to a private European collector for $437,000 — an auction high for the artist — on an estimate of $180,000 to $250,000.
Mr. Gouzer said he has sold two works since then — a body print by David Hammons that sold for about $1.3 million (estimated at $500,000 to $700,000) and a piece by Steven Parrino that sold for $977,500 (estimated at $650,000 to $750,000).
Loic GouzerCredit…Bryan Thomas for The New York Times
"It's really an experiment," said Mr. Gouzer, who while at Christie's built a reputation as a bad-boy rainmaker for coming up with unorthodox sale ideas as well as procuring and positioning big-ticket artworks, most famously Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" for $450.3 million in 2017.
"The idea was to create a guerrilla type of auction system," he said, "where you could start moving paintings by using the cloud rather than physical locations."
So far, the large auction houses seem unconcerned about Mr. Gouzer taking a significant piece of their business. "The availability of only a single lot is a construct easily replicated," said Marc Porter, the chairman of Christie's Americas, who called the app "clever and inventive."
"The key factor will be the breadth of audience," Mr. Porter added. "In that, he must contend with the worldwide data that the large auction houses, art fairs and mega-dealers have been investing in for years."
Buyers must apply for admission to the app, where they are evaluated for the seriousness of their collecting. Mr. Gouzer is trying to keep out speculators who would flip the works for higher prices to make a quick profit.
He had hoped to avoid guarantees — lining up a minimum bid in advance — which have become routine among auction houses. But he said sellers demand them these days. (The Basquiat is guaranteed for an undisclosed amount around the low estimate, Mr. Gouzer said.)
The untitled Basquiat — an acrylic and oil stick on black paper that measures about 4 feet by 6 feet — features many of the qualities for which the artist was best known, such as "all the obsessive scribbling and those words that come all the time like 'tar' and 'asbestos,'" Mr. Gouzer said.
He transformed his garage in Montauk into a climate-controlled viewing room where interested buyers can view the Basquiat starting Thursday (he hired security to guard it). The piece will sell on July 30.
At this point, Mr. Gouzer is planning to sell one piece a week — assuming inventory cooperates — with auctions taking place on the app at 5 p.m. sharp on Sundays. The sales are conducted live with the app registering bids. Mr. Gouzer takes a 15 percent flat commission.
While Mr. Gouzer has already been deluged with prospective future lots, he said he is picking and choosing carefully; should he fail to find pieces that satisfy his standards, he will simply wait until he does.
"I only put works that I would buy for my invisible collection — my taste is eclectic but very selective," he said. "I don't have pressure, because I don't have investors. It's an extension of the curation I did when I was at Christie's, but with complete freedom."

Legendary Classics has just received this extremely cool 1985 Porsche 3.2 Carrera Coupe
This Porsche is a nice example of the Porsche G Model 911 champagne creme interior.
The car comes with service history and the Porsche book and records. All the service entries were stamped by Sunnyvale Porsche up to 2001. This 911 was delivered new by Sunnyvale Porsche (Anderson-Behel Porsche) on the 29th of May 1985 to M. Nguyen.
The Porsche 911 (pronounced Nine Eleven or in German: Neunelfer) is a two-door, 2+2 high performance rear-engined sports car. Introduced in September 1964 by Porsche AG of Stuttgart, Germany. It has a rear-mounted flat-six engine and all-round independent suspension. It has undergone continuous development, though the basic concept has remained unchanged. The engines were air-cooled until the introduction of the Type 996 in 1998, with the 993, produced from 1994–1998 model years, being the last of the air-cooled Porsche sports cars.
The Carrera 3.2 Model was introduced in 1984 and replaced the 3.0 SC series that was produced between 1978 to 1983, reviving the Carrera name for the first time since 1977. This was the last iteration in the original 911 series, with all subsequent models featuring new body styling and new brake, electronic, and suspension technologies.
The new higher-displacement engine, a 3.2-litre horizontally opposed flat 6-cylinder unit, was utilized. At the time Porsche claimed it was 80% new. The new swept volume of 3,164 cc was achieved using the 95 mm (3.7 in) bore (from the previous SC model) combined with the 1978 Turbo 3.3 crankshaft's 74.4 mm (2.9 in) stroke. In addition, higher domed pistons increased the compression ratio from 9.8 to 10.3:1 (9.5:1 for the US market). New inlet manifold and exhaust systems were fitted. The 915 transmission was carried over from the SC series for the first three model years. In 1987, the Carrera got a new five-speed gearbox sourced from Getrag, model number G50 with proven BorgWarner synchronizers. This slightly heavier version also featured a hydraulically operated clutch.
With the new engine, power was increased to 207 hp (154 kW; 210 PS) (at 5,900 rpm) for North American-delivered cars and to 237 PS (174 kW; 234 hp) (at 5,900 rpm) for most other markets. This version of the 911 accelerated 0–97 km/h (0–60 mph) in 5.4 seconds and had a top speed of 240 km/h (150 mph) as measured by Autocar. Factory figures were more modest: 0–60 mph time of 6.3 seconds for the US version and 6.1 seconds for cars outside the American market.
The brake discs were increased in size to aid in more effective heat dissipation and improved oil-fed chain tensioners were fitted to the engine. To improve oil cooling, a finned cooler replaced the serpentine lines in the front passenger fender well. This was further improved in 1987, with the addition of a thermostatically controlled fan.
Driving refinement and motor reliability were improved with an upgrade of the fuel and ignition control components to an L-Jetronic with Bosch Motronics 2 DME (Digital Motor Electronics system). An improvement in fuel-efficiency was due to the DME providing a petrol cut-off on the overrun. Changes in the fuel map and chip programming from October 1986 further improved the power to 217 hp (162 kW; 220 PS) (at 5,900 rpm) for North American delivered cars as well as for other markets mandating low emissions, like Germany.
Three basic models were available – coupé, Targa and cabriolet. The Carrera is almost indistinguishable from the SC with the external clue being the front fog lights that were integrated into the front valance. Only cosmetic changes were made during the production of the Carrera, with a redesigned dashboard featuring larger air conditioning vents appearing in 1986.
In 1984, Porsche also introduced the M491 option. Officially called the Supersport in the UK, it was commonly known as the "Turbo-look"] It was a style that resembled the 930 Turbo with wide wheel arches and the distinctive "tea tray" tail. It featured the stiffer suspension shared with the turbo and the superior turbo braking system as well as the wider turbo wheels. Sales of the Supersport were high for its first two years in the United States because the desirable 930 was not available.
Total production of the 911 3.2 Carrera series was 76,473 cars (35,670 coupé, 19,987 cabrio, 18,468 Targa).

Uber banned in New Delhi, India following passenger's alleged rape
by Abhimanyu Ghoshal — in Insider
Update: Following this case being taken up by the police, Uber has just been banned from operating in the capital by the Delhi state government, for 'misleading customers', reports The Economic Times. Our original report continues below…
Uber has issued two statements after one of its drivers allegedly raped a passenger in New Delhi, India, last Friday.
A female passenger who rode in an Uber cab in the capital city on Friday night was allegedly raped by her driver, Shiv Kumar Yadav, aged 32. Yadav, who was apprehended by police yesterday in connection with the crime, was previously arrested in another rape case in 2011 and spent seven months in prison, though he claims to have been acquitted in the case.
Huffington Post India reports that Yadav, who has been with Uber for over six months, had not had his local address and mobile phone number verified by the company and didn't have a commercial badge required to drive a cab in New Delhi.
It's possible that the incident could have been avoided with a more stringent background check on the driver. While Uber claims to partner only "with registered for-hire drivers who have undergone the commercial licensing process, hold government issued IDs, state-issued permits, and carry full commercial insurance," it hires only three executive employees per city at launch, who may or not have the capacity to run rigorous checks; rivals hire 50 employees and up per city in India.
The cab service has said that it has provided local authorities with the driver's details and trip information. CEO Travis Kalanick in his statement said that Uber will work with the government "to find more ways to promote safety in transportation, particularly for women – both here in Delhi and throughout India."
We've reached out to Uber for comments on these developments and will post updates as soon as we hear back.

TaNesha McAuley to lead Family Justice Center
TOPICS:criminal justicecriminal justice systemFamily Justice CenterFlynn BroadyTaNesha McAuley

Posted By: Larry Felton Johnson January 26, 2021
Cobb District Attorney Flynn Broady announced that TaNesha McAuley has been selected to lead the county's Family Justice Center.
Funds for the center come from federal dollars through the Victims of Crime Act, and the grant is administered by Georgia's Criminal Justice Coordinating Council.
Only two other Georgia communities, Waycross and Macon, were awarded grants to create family justice centers when Cobb was awarded its grant last fall. Savannah had the first such center in Georgia.
The details of the appointment, and more information about the Family Justice Center, is in the press release from the DA's office, reprinted below:
Site Coordinator selected for Cobb Family Justice Center
Jan. 26, 2021 – Cobb District Attorney Flynn D. Broady, Jr. announces that TaNesha McAuley has been named Site Coordinator for the Family Justice Center. The center will enable victims of domestic violence, sexual assault and child abuse to receive services in a single location.
As Site Coordinator, McAuley is responsible for developing the Family Justice Center in Cobb County and will serve as a facilitator for partners in a grant awarded for the project. She will fulfill the obligations and activities of the grant, which will result in the opening of the Family Justice Center by year three of the grant.
Kimberly B. McCoy is Director of the Victim Witness Unit in the DA's Office.
"After an extensive search, we are excited to welcome Ms. McAuley to Cobb," McCoy said. "She brings an extensive background in both starting new programs and in program management, as well as providing direct services in behavioral and mental health. Her energy and enthusiasm will no doubt ensure the success of Cobb's Family Justice Center."
McAuley brings several years of experience as director of accountability court programs in Fulton Superior Court. She earned a Master's Degree in Criminal Justice Administration at North Carolina Central University, and she is now pursuing a Doctor of Public Administration at Liberty University.
"I am honored and excited to join the Cobb County team as we build and implement one of the most cutting-edge Family Justice Centers that will positively impact the lives of individuals who have been harmed as a result of domestic violence," McAuley said.
Last fall, the Cobb DA's Office and its partners were awarded a four-year grant worth up to $400,000 to create a Family Justice Center. The grant is administered through Georgia's Criminal Justice Coordinating Council with federal dollars from the Victims of Crime Act. Only two other Georgia communities, Waycross and Macon, were awarded grants to create family justice centers.
Since receiving the grant in November, project partners — including the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council, liveSAFE Resources, Inc., SafePath Children's Advocacy Center, Cobb Solicitor's Office, Cobb Police Department, and Cobb Legal Aid — have participated in more than 20 grantee meetings and trainings, including a community informational kick-off held on Dec. 17 to introduce the community to the Family Justice Center concept. Dozens of community members responded to the readiness assessment, and that input will assist in tailoring the FJC to meet Cobb's specific needs. A recording of the informational kick-off meeting is available for viewing online at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koyu5s3P090.
For additional information, email fjccobb@cobbcounty.org. Periodic updates on the project will be posted at www.cobbda.com.
