The need to protect constitutions and elections is a rather strange message from the representative of an absolute monarchy. Indeed, Saudi motives in Yemen likely have nothing to do with protecting the country's "legitimate government," its constitution or its electoral process.
The kingdom's real motives seem clear if one looks at Saudi monarchy's history of not allowing regional competition of any kind, while consistently combating efforts to build democratic governments that empower the people. This approach was evident in 2013, when Saudi Arabia voiced its support for the military coup thatoverthrew the democratically elected government of Mohamed Morsy in Egypt, which was in keeping with counterrevolutionary Saudi policies that aimed to contain or reverse the results of the Arab Spring.
The Saudi goal is simple: Prevent the rise of any popularly supported government in the region that seeks self-determination. And the excuse of "resisting Iran's influence," meanwhile, appears to be nothing but sectarian bluster. For example, in 2009, the Houthis (more accurately described as the Ansarullah) were not yet receiving help from Iran, yet for weeks the kingdompummeled them with airstrikes, following Saudi claims of a Houthi incursion. True, the Ansarullah movement now benefits from Iranian support. But it is far from the only group getting help from outside sources in the region.
With all this in mind, the American decision to stand behind the Saudi attack on Yemen can best be described as misguided. Although the Houthi movement's rhetoric is unquestionably anti-American, it has not targeted any American interests. In fact, when the U.S. Embassy packed up in Sanaa in January, leaving a fleet of over 20 armored SUVs behind at the airport, the Houthis reportedly said they would round up the cars and deliver them to a U.N. representative in Yemen. And while the Houthis did not welcome the American presence in Yemen, they did not interfere with U.S. operations against al Qaeda in the country.
But one of the biggest miscalculations has been that U.S. policy has adopted the Saudi-Gulf narrative on Yemen, effectively placing Saudi ambitions to control Yemen above previous American priorities like destroying the safe haven for al Qaeda there. Indeed, the Obama administration appears to have abandoned Yemen to Saudi machinations. This reality was underscored when U.S State Department spokesperson Jen Psaki effectively endorsed Saudi bombing, saying the "Saudis have legitimate concerns about the possible impact of current events in Yemen on their security." The implication here seems to be that any country "concerned" about its neighbors can go ahead and bomb them, a view that risks creating a dangerous precedent.
Back in September, White House spokesman Josh Earnest described Yemen as a success story in the war on terrorism, explaining that the U.S. priority in Yemen was not to establish a "Jeffersonian democracy" but to prevent Yemen from becoming a safe-haven for al Qaeda and affiliates. Yet if that policy goal remains in place, then it must be acknowledged that the Saudi war on Yemen will not only undermine the U.S. aim of preventing al Qaeda from making Yemen a safe haven, but also undermine broader U.S. efforts in Yemen.
The reality is that Saudi and Gulf Co-operation Council jets are effectively acting as al Qaeda's air force by bombing the same group that had managed to uproot al Qaeda from several Yemeni regions. Interestingly, while Saudi Arabia deployed about 100 aircraft against the Houthis on the second day of its offensive, it reportedly deployed a mere four fighter jets in the early U.S.-led campaign against ISIS last year.
Regardless, the results of the Saudi campaign are unlikely to be positive — one only need look at the way a much smaller Houthi force than today was able to outfox the Saudi military back in 2009. Back then, Houthi forces consisted of only a few hundred fighters, but they shocked the Saudi army, reportedly capturing Saudi equipment and forcing the evacuation of almost 250 Saudi villages as it seized territory along the border. Today, that ragtag group of Houthi rebels has been replaced by a much larger group called Ansarullah, modeled after Lebanon's Hezbollah.
Back in 2009, the rebels were limited to parts of the Saada region and were self-funded, although Yemen claimed they had minor assistance from the late Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi. Yet despite this, they were still able to withstand some 90 days of Saudi bombardment. Today, the Ansarullah group is receiving political, financial and military support from Iran.
Already, the Saudi government wasforced to cancel flights to southern airports, and it has also reportedly suspended classes in schools in the border regions. The situation is only likely to deteriorate as the fighting continues.
Saudi interests in Yemen should not replace those of the United States. With this in mind, the Obama administration should work to find an immediate political solution to the conflict, one that can be embraced by the various Yemeni factions.
A change in approach is essential not only because the Saudi-led war on Yemen is wrong and destined to fail, but because it might end up further opening the Yemeni door to Iran. But perhaps most importantly, by supporting a self-interested Saudi campaign, the U.S. may actually empower an al Qaeda with the potential still to do great harm to the United States.


Bollywood couple Alia Bhatt and Ranbir Kapoor returned to Mumbai after celebrating their new year's eve in New York with the Kapoor clan. Dressed in winter essentials, Ranbir Kapoor looked impressive in a beautiful green and black plaid style jacket that he paired with jeans and a white T-shirt. He has always had a cool style quotient and this time too he delivered with the baseball cap and sunnies in place.
On the other hand, Alia Bhatt failed to impress in a navy blue top and jeans combo that she layered with a distressed denim jacket. We are not too fond of the knee-length burgundy boots as well.
While both the actors have a fuss-free fashion sense, in this airport appearance it was Kapoor who rocked the casual look.
Later, the Raazi actor was seen stealing the spotlight in a pair of chunky sneakers that she wore with a simple white tee and jeans, and a bright floral shrug.
Is chunky sneakers going to be the new trend? Let's wait and watch.

Community rallies around family with three sets of twins as dad passes away
The local community has stepped up to help support Chris' grieving family
LEANDRO PONDOC
The Doyle Family in 2012
A Dublin dad to three sets of twins tragically passed away last month in Laois.
Chris Doyle, 37, and his wife, Michelle made headlines in 2012 when they welcomed their third set of twins, Olivia and Ollie into the world.
The twins joined a family already with two sets of twins, Adam and Anthony and Lillian and Luke, and their big brother Andrew, beating the odds of having three sets of twins at 500'000-to-1.
Following Chris' tragic passing, a local group of parents in Portlaoise have come together to support Michelle and her seven children.
They hope to raise funds to get Michelle a nine-seater car so that she'll have a much easier time transporting her kids around, the Irish Independent reports.
In a letter, the organisers praised Chris as a "proud and devoted father" who helped his children navigate through life's difficulties.
As part of the fundraiser, local bands Blessed and Soulset will play at Kavanagh's Pub on July 15, hoping to sell over 5,000 tickets to achieve their goal.
Tickets will cost €5 and are sold either at school offices, the Portlaoise Parish centre shop or can be bought from PJ Kavanagh, owner of Kavanagh's Pub.
The group has also opened up a bank account for Michelle and her family that the public can donate to directly.
Anyone looking to donate can do so through any Bank of Ireland branch or online with the IBAN number IE17BOFI90188882269627.
Chris Doyle had originally been a plumber but became a full-time carer when one of his kids, Adam, was born with disability.
He and Michelle were due to renew their wedding vows in August.
The group behind the fundraiser has vowed: "The people of Laois will rally to support this family, these children."
You can donate here.


Thank you and congratulations on your booklet Ignatian Spirituality is... I think it is wonderful and makes Ignatian principles accessible and relevant to many of us.
I celebrate the noon mass at Sts. Peter and Paul Church in Reading, OH. It was (October 7) the Feast of the Holy Rosary so I read a few lines about the ancient feast of the rosary, etc. and then noted that we were midway through the day already. Ignatius asks us to examine our consciences twice a day - noonish and before bed. So that's what we did at noon today; we did the Examen from the Ignatian Spirituality book. One parishioner was particularly moved so I gave her my only copy!

FaceTime with The Content Guy: Value And Values
Published on: October 20, 2011
No video? Click here for free player
This commentary is available both as text and video. The two versions are similar, but not identical. Enjoy either, or both.
Hi, I'm Kevin Coupe and this is FaceTime with the Content Guy.
Physical books, or e-books? Boxed wine, or bottled wine? The virtual store, or the brick-and-mortar kind?
It has been interesting this week to see the debate back and forth about which of these people like, which ones are better, and if any of these have implicit value beyond the others.
I love this kind of debate, because it speaks not just to what people think, but how they feel.
Here's how I feel about it. The discussion is not just about value, but also but values. And we all have different values. We all prize different things, at different times and for different reasons.
And in case you can't tell, I'm making this argument while riding on a train.
I'm traveling from Seattle to Portland via Amtrak. I could've flown, I could've driven, I even could have taken the bus. But I decided to take the train, for two reasons. One, it is dirt cheap - just $31 one-way. Two, I love train travel. It appeals to the romantic in me, and while it isn't the same thing as train travel around Europe, it is close enough. Besides, I get on the train and I think of movies like "North by Northwest," "Strangers on a Train," and "From Russia With Love," and "Murder on the Orient Express." And I'm a sucker for a good movie connection.
In this case, I choose a fairly old--fashioned method of travel. In picking out a wine, I'm also a traditionalist. When it comes to reading a book, I'm sort of agnostic - I'm traveling with both a hardcover novel and my iPad this week, so I can have plenty of choices. When I check in at the airport, however, I'm perfectly happy to get my boarding pass from a kiosk, just as I prefer to do at least some of my supermarket shopping online.
Faced with all these options, you might make the opposite choices. And that's fine. Neither of us is right, and neither of us is wrong.
But here is the incontrovertible truth. Things are not going back to the way they were. As one MNB reader said earlier this week, we all have to deal with it.
Another basic truth is this: Shoppers evolve. we can't expect the shoppers of the future to share our values, or even to assign value to the same things we do. They might, but they might not. And that's something we also have to deal with.
I think it is healthy that all these options exist, and I hope they always exist. I would hate to see a day when I could not pick up a hardcover book, or a good bottle of wine with a cork, or go to the supermarket to shop for food. But as a marketer, I have to concede that my kids, and their kids, may not feel the same way. And so approaches have to evolve along with the shopper, or marketers lose their relevance.
It is the same as the debate that's been taking place lately about self-checkout, as some companies move away from this technology. I think that is a perfectly sound idea if you've looked at your value proposition, thought about your shopper, and come to the conclusion that they are incompatible. On the other hand, if you've made the decision simply because your equipment is old and you don;t want to spend money to replace it, and your customer actually likes it, then maybe you're making a bonehead move.
Sometimes evolution is a good thing. One of the best things about the Amtrak train I'm riding on, for example, is that it has free Wi-Fi.
I may be sentimental, but I also hate being out of touch.
That's what is on my mind this Thursday morning. As always I want to hear what is on your mind.
Thursday Morning Eye-Opener: Grass-Roots Marketing
Yesterday, MNB reported that there was a least a little criticism of the new Wegmans in Massachusetts by the Boston Herald, which pointed out that despite its promise to have the lowest prices in the market, a Market Basket store 37 miles away was lower by $1.80 on a list of 25 staple items.
In response to that story, we received more than a dozen emails from MNB users who criticized the Herald story as not understanding the differences between Wegmans and Market Basket, as not understanding that 37 miles is a long distance between supermarkets, and as not understanding that Wegmans' value proposition is unique.
And, almost all of these emails suggested that I look at a blog posting by a customer who not only has a unique relationship with Wegmans, but a compelling story about the retailer's customer service levels.
It is worth watching, and you can see it here.
It is an Eye-Opener.
A Sign Of The Times
The New York Times reports this morning on a new report from the Pew Research Center saying that "birth rates in the United States declined sharply during the recession ... According to preliminary data from 2010, the rates dropped to 64.7 births per thousand women ages 15 to 44, from 69.6 births per thousand women in 2007, the year the recession began."
According to the Times, "the link between financial distress and lower rates of childbirth surfaced clearly in the regional data. North Dakota, with one of the lowest unemployment rates in 2008, about 3 percent, was one of two states to show a slight increase in its birth rate from 2008 to 2009. The other was Maine."
Every other state saw a birth rate decrease, with Arizona showing the steepest decline at 7.2 percent.
In all other states, birth rates declined, said Gretchen Livingston, the lead author of the report. Arizona had the deepest decline in its birth rate, down by 7.2 percent.
Historical precedent suggests that the birth rate is likely to pick up when the economy improves. "What people seem to be doing is not so much deciding not to have children, but postponing until things start to recover," says Gretchen Livingston, lead author of the report.
Of course, the way things are going, that may not happen until the beginning of the 2020's. This could be a lost decade in more ways than one.
Another Sign Of The Times
The Los Angeles Times this morning reports that Hallmark and several other greeting card companies are out with a new lines of cards - expressing sympathy and encouragement to the newly unemployed.
Some of the expressions are heartfelt, as in, "Losing a job is just plain painful. So I want you to remember I'm in your cheering section."
Some have a tinge of shared bitterness, as in one with a photo of a cat that reads, "Is there anywhere I could hack up a hairball, like say, on a former employer's head?"
The way things are going, this may not just be a temporary product line. It could have legs ... which isn't a good thing.
CPG Manufacturers Look To Invade Produce Section
The Wall Street Journal reports this morning that "packaged-food manufacturers that make products like cheese and juice hope to cozy up to colorful and fragrant tomatoes, apples and pumpkins—in some cases fundamentally changing traditional store layouts.
"The produce section ... is increasingly located near the supermarket entrance, so every shopper passes through it. And stores are finding that consumers consider even packaged foods placed there to be fresher and higher quality—researchers call this a 'halo effect.'
"But some grocers are grumbling, wanting to keep packaged goods from invading the produce section, which they say gives them 'freshness credibility' that distinguishes them from the competition, such as warehouse clubs and convenience stores. With limited space, grocers are most likely to display fresh, high-margin items in the produce section."
I think that retailers need to very careful about this, and resist the urge to take things like slotting allowances and preserve the produce department's role as a fresh-oriented image-setter. Short-term bucks could have a negative long-term impact.
• ClickZ.com reports on how one small business owner is using social media to build traffic and sales.
For her homemade ice cream sandwiches company, Coolhaus, CEO Natasha Case's "social media team regularly tweets secret passwords for specials as well as off-the menu items to keep customers engaged. Her trucks each sell as many as 500 'sammies' per day, at $4 to $6 apiece."
According to the story, "Social media has been at the heart of Coolhaus's impressive run, which began two-and-a-half years ago when Case and fellow cofounder Freya Estreller started their venture in spite of a poor economy. Next month, they will launch two trucks in Miami, bringing their enterprise to 11 mobile commerce units in four markets. Coolhaus also has trucks in Los Angeles, New York City, and Austin, TX, employing 35 people in all.
"Coolhaus has 32,000 Twitter followers and 9,000 Facebook likes. Each market has its own Twitter handle. Even though the Miami trucks do not debut for a couple of weeks, @coolhausMIA already has 148 followers after tweeting a few dozen times."
No pun intended, but this is a cool story. It is encouraging when you hear about companies that have a unique product and are using unique methods of spreading the news and generating sales.
And also a good lesson for traditional retailers.
Source Of Listeria Outbreak Identified By US Regulators
The New York Times reports that federal officials are saying that "a nationwide listeria outbreak that has killed 25 people who ate tainted cantaloupe was probably caused by unsanitary conditions in the packing shed of the Colorado farm where the melons were grown ... Government investigators said that workers had tramped through pools of water where listeria was likely to grow, tracking the deadly bacteria around the shed, which was operated by Jensen Farms, in Granada, Colo. The pathogen was found on a conveyor belt for carrying cantaloupes, a melon drying area and a floor drain, among other places."
The story goes on: "The farm had passed a food safety audit by an outside contractor just days before the outbreak began. Eric Jensen, a member of the family that runs the farm, said in an e-mail that the auditor had given the packing plant a score of 96 points out of 100.
"F.D.A. officials did not criticize the auditor directly. But Michael R. Taylor, deputy commissioner for foods, said the agency intended to establish standards for how auditors should be trained and how audits should be conducted."
• Advertising Age reports that former Walmart CEO and current board member Lee Scott told the National Beer Wholesalers Association conference in Las Vegas that the retailer plans to ramp up its selection of craft beers.
Walmart, Scott said, "built the company on two things: One was price, but the other was assortment, and you can't take an area like beer where people are moving to craft and 'under-assort' yourself because the person who is buying craft beer and wants that assortment will drive to Kroger and pay the 15% more."
Assortment is a good thing. Keeping product in-stock is another, and that's been a growing problem under Scott's successors.
• The Wall Street Journal reports that "for the second quarter ended Sept. 10, Supervalu returned to the black from a prior year weighed down by charges, but sales dropped 2.6% to $8.43 billion, reflecting a 1.8% drop in same-store sales, the 14th consecutive quarter of declines."
According to the story, the company "expects its growth to be stunted this fiscal year given the rocky economic environment and its reinvestments in the business," as it struggles to "reconcile rising food costs with its ongoing effort to reduce prices to levels more competitive with rivals like Kroger Co. and Safeway Inc."
• The New York Times reports that as the Glad Products Co. introduces its new Glad kitchen trash bag, said to be made with less plastic and therefore more environmentally friendly, the company is talking more about the fact that it is stronger than the fact that it is made with less plastic. And, it is not charging higher prices for the new bags, which reflects a consumer reality - that they want to "make more responsible choices but they don't want to make the tradeoffs if they involve either an inferior product or a greater price."
• The Grocery Manufacturers Association (GMA) announced the appointment of Robert Burns, Ph.D., as GMA Vice President, Health and Nutrition Policy.
Burns most recently was owner of Nutrition Implications, LLC, a consulting business, where he helped food organizations and companies develop strategic approaches to nutrition and health, including engagement with external stakeholders and development of research programs and communication initiatives. Prior to that, he held nutrition leadership roles in Cadbury Schweppes and Mead Johnson.
• Ahold announced that Per Strömberg, former CEO of Lantmännen (a food, energy and agriculture company), to be the new CEO of its ICA subsidiary. He succeeds Kenneth Bengtsson, who is departing after more than a decade in the job.
...will return.

Summer Flashback
By Sara Polsky Jul 19, 2013, 3:15pm EDT
Not that it's much consolation to New Yorkers dealing with today's blazing heat, but the Times has a flashback to the heat of summer 1953, when the high remained above 90 degrees from August 24 to September 4 and air conditioning was a much less common household item. "The warmth was glare and pressure and sogginess all in one," the Times described it at the time. Somehow, Broadway audiences sat through the opening of a revival of "Oklahoma!" [City Room; previously]


XLB and Clearbell completed a lease regear of 23,000 sq ft at a Coventry, to Sitel increasing the rent to £17 per sq ft and removing the break giving 8 years term certain.
XLB and Harbert let the entire second floor at Aqueous One to Ian Williams. The property was bought as part of the Webb Portfolio and was substantially refurbished by XLB. The letting to Ian Williams was at £13.50 psf for a 10 year term with a break in year 5 and it leaves one remaining suite of 3,600 sq ft available.
XLB and LRE Capital developed the first new office building in Slough at 25 Window Road. The brand new 109,000 sq ft office building completed in May 2017. The property was sold to Slough Borough Council for an Excess of £40m.


Matilda is 7 weeks and FF. She has been on 3oz (I always offer her 4 but she very rarely takes it) for about 4 weeks now. The problem is (at least I think it's a problem) that the time between her feeds is getting shorter and shorter but she simply will not take any more (she is very indignant and clamps her mouth shut). As well as the time between feeds getting shorter she seems very unsettled and, I think, unsatisfied. This is increasingly becoming a problem at night as well. She was starting to sleep for about 6 hours but we are back to waking every 2-3 hours now.
Could it be that she's trying too hard for the milk & needs a bigger teat size? My mw recommended making the hole bigger in the teat with a sterile needle to see if she was any better with the bigger size, before going out & buying them if it worked.
Has it been warm where you are, and has she been having water? Might be that she's thirsty and tryting to regulate that by drinking little and ften?
It's not massively warm MrsSetters compared to other days anyway. I do try with the water but she will only take maybe half an ounce two or three times a day - she is wise to the fact that it's not milk!
The fast flow teats should be bigger holes. They (TT ones) go from 1-3. There are age guides on the boxes, but you will probably find that these are not always applicable, If I remember correctly, our lo went onto the number 2 teats around 8 weeks.
Thanks honey. Well she made me out to be a liar and slept from 8pm to 5.45am solid last night! Good news is she downed 4oz when she woke up so the day has started well!
All sounding good, but in case your LO goes back to being a snacker you could just try a bigger teat rather than a fast flow. My LO never got on with fast flow, but she did feed much better when we went onto size 2 from new born - might be size 3 in your case.
She would only ever have 2 - 3 oz, but would feed all the time. Then she got to about 4 months and started downing whatever you gave her!
Hope your good day continues!


6mik have introduced their new Barracuda 1/8th tyres. The Barracuda is the intermediate tyre between the Rapid and the Pursuit tyres. Its carcass it's strictly identical to the Pursuit one. Its very flat profile prevents tyre ballooning and always a maximized contact to the track, means a high traction and low wearing. The Barracuda features also with the same 3 areas of pins from the race proven Rapid. As versatile tyre, it allows to the driver to drive its car more naturally, what helps to make faster and more regular laps. Packed with over 1400 pins, including the linked central pins, the Barraduca is versatile, provides accurate driving, performances and a reduced wear.

Klingpsor and the NFL
subnavi
Klingpsor and the NFL Whether used on paint, varnish, wood or metal: The abrasive mop wheels MM 650 and MM 630 by Klingspor bring out the best in every workpiece. Better yet, they do so in way that is exceedingly gentle to the surfaces. Even the National Football League (NFL) took notice of their exceptional capabilities. https://www.klingspor.no/press/news/klingpsor-and-the-nfl https://www.klingspor.no/@@site-logo/logo.png
Whether used on paint, varnish, wood or metal: The abrasive mop wheels MM 650 and MM 630 by Klingspor bring out the best in every workpiece. Better yet, they do so in way that is exceedingly gentle to the surfaces. Even the National Football League (NFL) took notice of their exceptional capabilities.
American Football is one of the most hard-hitting sports there is. The action on the field is a no-holdsbarred affair: Brawny men give it their all to sprint, block, throw, catch and, most importantly, stop their opponent in their tracks by engaging in what the language of the sport refers to as tackling. Over and over again, players smash into each other at full force, their helmets taking the brunt of the impact. No wonder that concussions are a frequent occurrence. This type of physicality is as punishing on the helmets as it is taxing on the athletes. The clashes cause the paint to chip off, leaving behind scratches.
The special treatment
As long as its shape is not compromised, the helmet will remain effective, but will
definitely look worse for wear at the end of the season. Retire them and purchase new ones? Since this premium headgear costs a pretty penny, most football clubs decide to have them restored instead. Constructed from durable highperformance plastic, football helmets can be refurbished three to four times – depending on the damage they sustained. This translates to a savings of 80 per cent compared to a repurchase. NFL teams, therefore, round up their helmets when the season is out and ship them off to Tijuana in Mexico. There, at a specialised plant, up to 15,000 helmets daily are subjected to a special treatment following the conclusion of the football season. Before a helmet can be decked out with the new look the club has chosen for next season, the old paint must be sanded down and – at times – stripped off completely, and scratches need to be repaired. "This type of pretreatment used to be a process that cost a lot of time and money. Since the plant made the move to Klingspor's MacMop wheels MM 650, their productivity has nearly doubled", reports Hani Nassar of Klingspor Abrasives, Inc. Its singular design makes the MM 650 ideal for profiled materials that possess a sensitive surface. "The product is set apart by the radial, fan-shaped arrangement of its abrasive flaps, which are slashed several times in longitudinal direction. This design turns the MM 650 into a particularly flexible tool, capable of creating a fine surface finish", states Torsten Ettl, Production Manager at Klingspor in Haiger. Engineered for combination with stationary machines, the MM 650 also delivers an exceptionally long service life. Torsten Ettl explains why: "When the tool is used at the optimal speed, the generated centrifugal force will cause the abrasive flaps to stand up straight in radial direction, confining wear to the edge of the flap. Aside from allowing new and sharp abrasive grains to constantly take the place of worn grains, this design also keeps any abrasive debris from clogging the wheel."
Highly sought-after-allrounders
The versatile MacMop wheels are not only in great demand in the NFL. They are also the tool of choice wherever an application calls for sanding profiled baseboards. To users who need to work with handheld machines Klingspor offers the MM 630 with shaft. Like many other Klingspor products, this tool has been furnished with aluminium oxide grain. The MacMop is available in a wide selection of widths and grit sizes – from P40 to P800. The user can select to work with a higher removal rate or to produce a particularly smooth finish simply by varying the tool pressure and the grit size. Unbeknownst to the players in the NFL, the name MacMop can be traced back to Walter Klingspor's dog: Walter Klingspor had a dog by the name of Mac who had brown, shaggy fur. The tousled pet inspired product engineers to name the new product MacMop, still signified today by the acronym MM.
The MacMop model for handheld machines contours perfectly to the surface and guarantees an exceptionally long service life. The side of the flaps that is coated with abrasive is positioned against the direction of travel.
This abrasive mop wheel was originally designed for use in woodworking on stationary machines. At present, the product is becoming increasingly popular in metal processing – where it is used for deburring small parts.

Minority fury at Q-telecom low
The two private equity firms buying Q-Telecom, a Greek mobile telecoms operator, are facing minority investor pressure over the €350m deal.
Texas Pacific Group and Apax Partners will pay Q-Telecom's controlling shareholder, Greek IT company InfoQuest, €325m in cash and assume €25m in debt under the terms of the deal. They are understood to have fought off a rival bid from buyout firm BC Partners and plan to merge the business with TIM Hellas, which they bought earlier in the year.
TCS Capital Management, a New York-based media and telecoms fund, and the largest minority shareholder of TIM Hellas, has criticised the deal, however. TCS holds a 5.4% stake in TIM Hellas.
TCS contends that the deal sets a precedent for the value of its equity stake. Apax and TPG agreed to pay €16.40 per TIM Hellas share, which valued the company at €1.1bn.
But TCS said this worked out at only 5.4x TIM Hellas' estimated 2004 Ebitda on a normalised basis. It also said that the Q-Telecom deal valued that company at 14.3x its Ebitda of a reported €12.2m on revenues up 50% at €73m in the first half of its financial year.
On the same multiple, TCS said its TIM Hellas shares were worth €46.73 each in any squeeze-out of minorities. The fund said this price would be before the integration of TIM Hellas and Q-Telecom, which would improve the group's combined position with a 28% share of the Greek market.
TCS added that, according to JPMorgan, Q-Telecom had been an aggressive competitor, with its market share increasing from 3.5% in 2003 to 8% on October 17.

Please excuse the disgustingly noobish nature of the following question.
I am a student of probability theory and my goal is to work as a rates exotics trader. I am also in a dilemma.
Which one of the above offers might have the best transition opportunities into rates exotics trading?
Rates exotics have been kind of defunct for about 7 or 8 years now. It's not a very active field, and I don't think it's coming back, at least I hope not.
Who told you this is a good idea? I mean how come you would be interested in this in 2016?
There are many reasons why these are stupid and scam products, which were making fairly big money at a time, it's true.
Most of the stuff is legacy now. There is a small market for callable debt, which might come back somewhat. Then there is a small market for leveraged CMS products, but it's not very interesting.
I was under the impression that there was an active demand for products such as Bermudan swaptions, conditional trigger swaps, ratchet caps, etc.
Maybe I thought my competencies in mathematics could give me an edge. Maybe it's just a fetish I've had for no reason.
I won't lie, no one told me rates exotics was a good idea.
There is always some demand, but it's marginal compared to pre-2008 levels. It's true that this was good business in the past for some of the big fixed income franchises, although a lot of the players got burned very heavily in 2008. Search the forum, there are some threads that discuss various 9 figure losses.
I guess that straight bermudans (callable zeros and bullets) will come back more actively at some point if/when rates rise. It's hard to see how more creative exotics could come back given that it has already become quite expensive to run a flow business, but who knows.
What is a little disturbing for overly exotic products was/is the business rationale. A lot of these derivatives were sitting on the back of notes that were effectively marketed by big investment banks to smaller commercial banks for end distribution in the form of structured investment for the supposed yield pick-up they were offering. It's not really a "natural" business in this sense. But then what is natural in finance you might argue? But in any case, you may not like the idea of being in that line. To a lot of people these products were unnatural and scammy and existed only because somewhere down the line someone was stupid enough to buy them.
As to competencies in mathematics, there are likely a lot more modern topics in finance where you can get an edge. Rates exotics is really not that hot.
I am contemplating now whether more vanilla (and not-so-scammy) rates options desks are good career choices. But these desks might, if rates exotics isn't hot, be lukewarm at best.
I am eager to hear your input about more modern topics in trading where competencies in mathematics (i.e. probability theory) can give me an edge. Also how this relates to the two offers mentioned in the original post.
My worries are that if I accept an emerging markets eurobonds or structured credit trading job, I will have zero quantitative work, spend too much time with MBA-know-it-alls with too much gel in hair, and therefore fairly quickly lose my "quantitative abilities". On the other hand, a desk quant job doesn't get me any experience trading.
To simply answer your question, my view is that it is much easier to become another trader once you have been a trader, and it is rather difficult to move from a quant to trading. Even a structurer to trader is more common. Since you have the technical background in probability theory, it won't be difficult to pick up rates-options theory on the job.
But to expand even further on mstm's response, it's not just rates exotics, but who told you that even getting into finance is a good idea? I mean how come you would be interested in this in 2016?
I'm sure you are a smart guy, and you will be able to work at these tier 1/2 banks as a trader in a product of your choice, but is this what you want to do? There are so many more interesting fields out there these days, in 2016. If I were a new grad coming out of school, I would not even consider hedge funds, banks, asset management, etc.
It's true that there are a lot of other interesting fields out there as well.
I find that financial services - buying and selling volatility of options, in particular - provide an interesting and challenging playground. In running a vanilla/exotic rates book, my hope is to be able to use as many of the mathematical tools available to me as possible. Pricing products and hedging dynamically, spending the day discussing positions, deciding which ones will perform well and which won't is what makes it interesting.
That said, money (i.e. the opportunity cost of other career choices) is also important.
Why it is easier for a trader from a different desk than for a quant to move into trading the product he/she is modelling? And also, are you comfortable with sharing how you transitioned into your role running the vanilla and exotic rates book?
Don't take this the wrong way - but from my experience trying to "use as many of the mathematical tools available" tends not to be how most successful traders are wired. I'd say more the minimum amount of tools - any tools, not just mathematical - to get the job done. If the mathematical side really is super important to you, then be aware that trading may not be the most fulfilling prospect.
I often fall into the trap of tools for the sake of it myself, it's easily done for many engineering/maths type personalities.
Why it's hard to move from quant to trading role is probably hard to pin-down objectively. But if you start with the assumption that traders are at the top of the pecking order of these organizations, then you can see that by allowing moves you risk opening the flood gates and having a whole desk of folks hired to do X but all seeing the future in doing Y. Not a good way to build teams and culture in part X. So there can be some organizational reasons. Then I'm sure it's also up to individuals how successful they've been with people moving from X to Y, if it's net been a positive or negative. In terms of moving roles AND companies at the same time, you can see why it may not be an easy sell to the new company. Why hire someone without direct experience (but with some other related experience) that will be more expensive, when you can get a grad to mould for less money sort of thing. So one falls between chairs often if not making a move within the same company.
Doesn't mean all sorts of moves don't happen, just that it can be very hard depending on your situation.
a formula one driver has more in common with a jockey on a horse racing track than with his mechanic.
"a formula one driver has more in common with a jockey on a horse racing track than with his mechanic"
Pretty good analogy, actually. He certainly has more in common with other race car drivers (NASCAR, carting, rally) then with his mechanics and engineers.
Ever thought about moving into quant trading?
> There are so many more interesting fields out there these days, in 2016. If I were a new grad coming out of school, I would not even consider hedge funds, banks, asset management, etc.
Are you so sure about that? Do you really believe there are more interesting fields now than X years ago when you were choosing what to do?
Furthermore, the grass is always greener on the other side. Imagine you were starting in one of these "more interesting fields". Are you convinced that you won't be giving the same exact advice after spending the same amount of time in this field as you did in finance?
Thanks to everyone who participated in this thread. I chose to work as a jockey on a horse racing track.
@aickley: I also found the discrepancy between the F1 driver-analogy and statement "there are so many more interesting fields [than finance] out there these days, in 2016" quite conspicuous.
> There are so many more interesting fields out there these days, in 2016.
@akimon What would you consider?

#CancelNetflix Is Trending After It Released The Most Controversial Film
by Aishwarya Murlidhar
#CancelNetflix is trending after it released the most controversial film.
On 9th September 2020 'Cuties' was released on Netflix, and the movie has received a lot of criticism. After its release #CancelNetflix has started trending after the negative reviews of exploiting children. The movie is said to be feeding pedophilia, and people have asked Netflix to cancel the movie. Around 600,000 people have also signed a petition saying that they would cancel their Netflix subscription if Netflix did not take the movie down. People watched the movie and said that the scenes are disturbing and are comparing it to child pornography.
#CancelNetflix they did not only sexualize children, no they also misrepresent the Muslim community, perpetuating the idea that they need to be "saved" by western culture as the only form of liberation.

#CancelNetflix has reached a fever pitch of 'RIGHTEOUS ANGER ' for there could be NO apology for CHILD ABUSE .9/11 couldn't bring about a 'JIHAD PURPORTEDLY,BY MUSLIMS',but this ground war against child porn has to be won ,especially the PEDDLERS NETFLIX,brought to account.
— OZTAXAN (@oztaxan) September 10, 2020
I love how people are now realizing how disgusting and inappropriate their Netflix's new movie is. Does anyone Muslim work there? It disrespects women and Islam. Smh #CancelNetflix
— maha (@mahatabrez) September 10, 2020
The movie is labeled in the 18 + category, but the problem is they are sexualizing 11-year old kids. The content is said to be dangerous and will be encouraging pedophiles. Sex trafficking rates are already high across the globe. After the poster and bio controversy that happened earlier, Netflix commented, saying that the bio was poorly written. They even stated that the film is much better and worth watching. Turns out, it is twice as bad as people predicted to be. IMDB has also stated that the scenes are lawfully defined and have been distressing for viewers asking for parental advisory.
What is the movie 'Cuties' about?
Written and directed by Maimouna Doucoure, the film won an award for direction in the Sundance Film Festival. The plot revolves around the story of a young girl who is being raised in a conservative Muslim family. After getting into school, she joins a dance crew called 'The Cuties' and is on her way to exploring her femininity. The movie was unappealing as it showed 11-year olds trying to twerk, calling it exploring their sexuality out has turned out to be quiet racist. Turkey has asked Netflix to remove the French film from its library. The movie is a coming-of-age film, but the kids are hyper-sexualized, which has upset the audience. There are many issues raised by people, such as using a black girl as the lead, trying to separate Islamic people from their culture, sexualizing kids, and talking about being a rebel by defying family traditions.
What did the director say after seeing the audience's reaction?
The director wanted to touch all the taboo topics with the film, but things seem to have gone south. She has started receiving death threats after the release. The director wanted to show how young girls get influenced by social media and dance moves such as twerking, not actually understanding what those gestures mean. They try to adapt themselves to the pop culture. The kids even go through emotional instability while trying to fit in society. The director said that she had seen such struggles of girls during her childhood. That is why she decided to work on a movie like this. The movie was supposed to be a bold move in order to educate the audience. But, people have interpreted it the wrong way. Even then, many publications have written positive reviews about the movie including it in the must-watch list. You can watch the movie on Netflix.

Is CBD gummies really effective?
CBD gummies is popular because of its accessibility and harmless side effects.
Whether in a friend's home or in a nearby drugstore, you may accidentally find a bottle of CBD gummies. Marijuana novices and experts love these foods, and their labels praise a variety of positive properties. But how accurate are these statements?
Because the CBD industry is experiencing growing pain and has not yet been approved by the FDA, a number of important guidelines (such as product dosage, purity and strength) are in a mess. One of the problems caused by this confusion is the variability between CBD products. While some may provide significant results, others may even contain CBD that is not sufficient to register in your system.
According to different CBD gummies manufacturers, these products can relieve a variety of diseases, including pain, anxiety, inflammation, insomnia and even depression. However, since the only tests carried out were limited to CBD oil, these statements were not scientifically accurate.
Interestingly, although the dose still causes some problems, many people believe in the role of CBD gummies. While some people claim to feel a positive effect after eating two kinds of gum, others may have to increase the dose until they feel something. Around CBD gummies all hype, also can think of this kind of "thing". The placebo may be working to make you feel that you should feel something because you've just taken marijuana.
Our expert assessment suggests that CBD gummies may be effective. you're welcome. Although they have not been scientifically tested, CBD oil has many positive side effects and, if purchased correctly, all of these gummies contain large amounts of oil. You can also look forward to learning in the near future as the industry is developing and understanding the nuances that exist between different cannabis products and plants.
As always, if you are interested in trying new marijuana products, please slow down. Buy a bottle of CBD gummies, then start with a slow dose and check your body for any changes and / or improvements. The worst thing that can happen is that you eat a lot of sugar and start to feel a little sleepy.

Q: Qt: I fail to install translator in subclass of QApplication In my app, I'm subclassing QApplication to do a lot of things, like centralized exception handling, SQLite database connection, initializing default settings (when needed) via QSettings. And, in particular, loading translations. I'm doing it in constructor, and when I do:
installTranslator (&translator);
qDebug() << "Translation from PApplication:"
         << translate ("PAddFormWindow", "Dialog");

I get back very right translation (to russian). But in my app I see everything in english. What's worse, I see it in english even when I try to get translation immediatelly after initializing my application object:
PApplication a ("PCorrect", argc, argv);
qDebug() << "Translation from void main():"
         << a.translate ("PAddFormWindow", "Dialog");

So, why won't it work? Is it because I'm doing it in constructor? I should also mention that PApplication class is declared and defined not in the app itself, but in a dynamically loaded library (I'm developing an application suite). And that my platform is Windows XP with Qt 4.7.0.

A: It could be that &translator in installTranslator(&translator) refers to a local variable that is destroyed upon exit from the constructor. If installTranslator() doesn't copy it (docs aren't very clear on this topic), anything could happen including non-working translations or even segfaults.
In fact, docs give us a hint: "Installing or removing a QTranslator, or changing an installed QTranslator generates a LanguageChange event". The fact that we can change a translator and it will affect something suggests that it isn't copied. But it is still very unclear. It should have said explicitly whether it is copied or not and how we should handle it.

Swana Thomas PharmD'18 MPH' 18 will start her career as a pharmacist with a better grasp of the possibilities pharmacists have to impact public health because of a dual degree program she completed at USciences.
Thomas said the combination of pharmacy and public health will help her to be a more patient-centered pharmacist and helped her to fall in love with the profession in a new way.
"On my first day of public health classes, my professor told me a story," recalled Thomas. "Imagine that there was a flood ravaging Philadelphia. The clinicians (such as the pharmacists) would dive in and save as many patients as possible. But the public health representative, she would…find the source of the problem and find a solution. Two different solutions solving the same problem. In a similar way, I believe that public health allows me to focus on the patient from a holistic and preventative point of view."
Thomas received immense support for her pursuit of a dual degree from her professors, particularly MPH program director and associate professor of health policy Julie Becker, PhD, MPH, and director of advanced pharmacy practice experiences and clinical pharmacy instructor Scott D. Greene, RPh, MS. However, her time at USciences was not without its struggles.
"If there is no mold that fits you, make one yourself," said Thomas, offering advice to incoming students. "Your career will one day be your career and yours alone, so if you don't like the avenues available in your profession, find ways to create your own. You'd be surprised to know how many people will support you along the way."
Thomas made her decision to attend USciences primarily because of the strong reputation of Philadelphia College of Pharmacy. It was known as one of the best at advancing the profession, which is what Thomas ultimately wanted.
"It was the school known for knowledgeable and professional pharmacists and one of the best," said Thomas. "I knew I didn't want to be anywhere else."
"I had high points and low points, but I am thankful for the 'USciences Struggle' because it made me stronger than I ever thought I could be in this field," said Thomas. "For instance, I used to get so frustrated at multiple edits to a single paper… but I realized that in real life, you might have help a patient fix one single problem that they struggle with, over and over again. But as their pharmacist, shouldn't we be patient and willing to do so?"
After graduation, Thomas will start work as a PGY1 ambulatory care resident at Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She hopes to continue her career in an ambulatory care setting and down the road returning to academia.

Actinomyces viscosus (AV) is an oral bacterium which has an established relationship with periodontal diseases. Exactly how AV exerts its effects are unknown although its ability to elicit a potentially detrimental immune response probably is involved. Because the components of the oral flora interact in a complex way to establish a microenvironment to which the body's immune system is exposed, it is difficult to ascertain directly the causes of periodontal disease. It has been recommended that a study into the biochemical nature of AV's interaction with human lymphocytes be undertaken as a step towards this understanding. This SIP involves the beginning of that biochemical study. AV was treated in various ways, and its activity (as measured by its ability to stimulate lymphocyte antibody production) was measured. The object of the treatment is to find modes by which AV can be broken down, in a step-by-step fashion, leaving the active component(s) in one fraction. Treatment of AV with enzymes, temperature changes, pH changes, periodate oxidation, and ammonium sulfate precipitation were undertaken. After treatment, AV was incubated with human lymphocytes, and antibody production was measured. If antibody production was high, it was concluded that treatment did not remove, or denature, the active component of AV. It was concluded that pH changes wipe out activity. Temperature changes do not. RNase and DNase enhance activity of AV, possibly by removing material surrounding active components. Lipase destroys activity, suggesting a lipid component in the active moiety. Ammonium sulfate precipitation revealed two primarily stimulatory fractions. This method could be used to eliminate unwanted material. Periodate oxidation did not yield conclusive results. Antibody production was measured by the ELISA method, which is described in detail in MATERIALS AND METHODS.

Earlier this week, another man accused in the case, Erik Nunez, struck a plea deal with prosecutors. Nunez faces up to 10 years in prison.
Darren Sharper has already pleaded guilty to charges in three states.

How to Stop Snooping Android Apps
On July 9, 2018 July 9, 2018 By TrustlookIn Uncategorized
Are you worried Android apps are secretly recording what you say or what you do? A new study from computer science researchers at Northeastern University suggests you may have good reason to be afraid.
The study analyzed 17,260 Android apps from the Google Play store, as well as third-party marketplaces AppChina, Mi.com and Anzhi. The research team found evidence of "several" Android apps spying on users by recording video and images of users' screens. The study was published last week in a research paper titled "Panoptispy: Characterizing Audio and Video Exfiltration from Android Applications."
The Northeastern University team cited several examples of popular apps that engaged in unauthorized recording of users' screens, including GoPuff, a food delivery app. The researchers discovered the app sent captured video via the Internet to a domain belonging to web analytics firm Appsee, and that the video recording could include personally identifiable information such as ZIP codes. The researchers said that Appsee's software required no permissions to record the video and did not issue notifications to users.
Researchers warn that a lot of the risk comes mainly from these third-party libraries, such as Appsee's, that often abuse the permission an app obtains from users. "Apps often display sensitive information, so this exposes users to stealthy, undisclosed monitoring by third parties," researchers say.
Embedded Behavioral Security for Android Devices
The good news is that security within Android is getting better with every new release of the popular mobile operating system. In fact, the company previewed the security features of Android P, the newest version of the mobile OS, at the Google I/O conference in May. Android P will only grant access to device sensors such as microphones and cameras to apps in the foreground, preventing potentially harmful apps from running covertly in the background and using sensors to spy on users.
There are also third-party software tools, such as Trustlook's SECUREai Sentinel 2.0, that provide next-generation privacy protection for Android powered devices. Sentinel 2.0 is a custom OS and SDK that offers real-time detection of malicious behaviors, as well as powerful privacy features for Android users.
Robust Settings
Sentinel 2.0 offers end users complete control over their privacy settings. Users can select which behavior categories to have monitored (such as their microphone or location), whether or not to screen System apps, and even the option to have no privacy protection at all.
Alert Options
Sentinel 2.0 can be customized to deliver various types of notifications and alerts. For example, the message on the left below is a simple alert stating that audio is being recorded in the background. However, the message on the right adds functionality by giving the user 30 seconds to either approve or deny the behavior.
Basic Alert Advanced Alert
It's clear from the research by the team at Northeastern University that there is no slowing the rise of sneaky malicious apps and surreptitious attacks. With so many more connected devices than just a few years ago, the problem will only get worse. Add in the financial benefits of ransomware, and the possible state-sponsored chaos that can be caused with DDOS attacks, and the situation becomes that much more important to control.
Fortunately the tools to combat these attacks are also improving, and give Android users confidence when storing personal information and making sensitive transactions on their Android devices.
