CSR Prepares India for the Beijing+20 Global Review
by Manuela Puricelli January 15, 2015 May 29, 2015
As a conclusive effort in preparation to the UN Women Beijing +20 Global Review, on January 14th the Centre for Social Research, supported by The Asia Foundation, hosted a National Consultation which brought together a variety of stakeholders including government representatives, activists, NGOs, professors and lawyers to collected recommendations for promoting women empowerment which will be discussed in New York during the 59th Commission on the status of women in March.
The conference was graced by the presence of Dr. Patricia Barandun (UN Women Deputy Representative) who highlighted the UN Women priority to engage with the civil society and the youth to achieve the new millennium goals; Ms. Lalitha Kumaramangalam (National Commission for Women) acknowledged the generational gap of this society and the importance to include the youth in governmental discussions on gender equality. She also stressed the urgency to promote preventive policies to tackle violence against women, starting with education. CSR Director, Dr. Ranjana Kumari talked about the incipit of the idea to involve the young people in the Beijing+20 Review process, which started by acknowledging their strong online and social media presence, a clear sign of their willingness to be socially active and keen on joining the gender issue debate.
Also, a panel of field workers, researchers and police provided insights on the topics of human trafficking, the status of minority, safety and security and the pressing issue of declining sex ratio and child marriage. Dr. Sunitha Krishnan (co-founder of Prajawala) shared her experience with trafficked women and children, and invited the audience to find ways in our everyday life to promote change. Dr. A. Ansari (Jamia Milia Islamia University) talked about minority communities focusing on Muslim women, specifically the issues of equity, identity and security, and their struggle with ghettoisation. Dr. PM Nair (Retired IPS & chair prof at Tata Institute of Social Science, Mumbai) suggested to put in place a security index of women in the country to monitor and evaluate the justice system functioning, and increase accountability of field workers through the creation of a protocol with minimum standards to respect. Finally, Dr. Ritu Mehra (SBN Girls College, Jaipur) reported on the severe repercussions of child marriage in Rajasthan, where she operates.
An engaging workshop followed, of which inputs will feed into the final report on the status of gender equality in India.
Dr Ranjana Kumari: "After 20 years, a review of the progress made since 1995 has been undertaken. Old challenges remain and many promises haven't been fulfilled. To name a few: the problem of sex determination, access to education for all girl children and high rates of maternal mortality. Hopefully the youth engagement in the assessment project will lead to greater involvement of the youngest generations in dealing with gender issues, and it will eventually get the attention of the government such pressing issues deserve".
The CSR director Dr. Ranjana Kumari will discuss the details of the report with a global audience at the UN Women Beijing+20 Global Review in New York in March 2015.

Michael Sam Docu-Series Gets Postponed
Many feared the show would be a distraction.
MTV News Staff mtvnews 05/16/2014
By Maurice Bobb
Michael Sam's docu-series has officially been sacked.
Just two days after Oprah Winfrey's OWN network revealed its plan to film the NFL's first openly gay player's journey as he tries to make the St. Louis Rams' final roster, OWN and Sam's representation announced Friday (May 16) that the series has been postponed.
Critics and sports pundits expressed doubts that the defensive end's mind would be focused on football with camera crews following his every move, so the decision was made to table the show.
"After careful consideration and discussion with the St. Louis Rams, the untitled Michael Sam project has been postponed, allowing Michael the best opportunity to achieve his dream of making the team," said Erik Logan, president of OWN. "OWN is about elevating and empowering people to achieve their best. It's clear that we, along with the world, recognize the important opportunity that Michael now has in this moment. We will continue to support him in his journey to earn a spot playing for the Rams."
The former SEC Co-Defensive Player of the Year's agent, Cameron Weiss, agreed that it was in his client's best interest to curtail bringing his "deeply personal" story to the small screen, for now.
"After today's meeting with the Rams, we collectively feel it is best to postpone the project," said Weiss. "This will allow for Michael to have a total focus on football and will ensure no distractions to his teammates. Everybody involved remains committed to this project and understands its historical importance as well as its positive message."
No word on when/if the project will be revisited.

Q: Impossible to bypass a session timeout in my company I am coming to you to see if someone get my issue.
Let me explain the context:
We have a back side coded in Kotlin/Vertx and a front Side in Angular 8.
We upload and download some files on the datalake storage from Azure Cloud.
How we do that? An explorer is implemented in the front side and when we want to download a file, a request is sent to the back side and once it is finished we send a response success/error from back side to the front side.
Everything works well in local environement on upload or Download.
One particularity, In download side we can download ONE or SEVERAL files And when it is 2 or more files we compress them on back side before returning the response to the front side and download the 7zip file.
And as I said above, everything works well in our local environment.
But I am working on a big company and there some security as 4 minutes session TimesOut.
So when we have to download a file with a big size on my company environment even if it takes more than 4 minutes, it works because it hapenning something during the download (some packet are downloading).

But when we have to compress Big files, the time that the backside is zipping files (more than 4 minutes) the session cut (some firewall or something )

I tried to add a keep alive in front side or back side it doesn't worked.
I also tried every http code I found on the web but it its happening nothing.
Do you know how I can keep this session open by some function in Vertx?
Because, every thing I tried from vertx documentation or stackoverflow failed.
Thanks a lot for reading me,
Regards

Q: How to prove that $\frac{x}{2}$ is smaller than $x$ for positive $x$ Could someone provide me a valid proof that $\frac{x}{2}$ is smaller than $x$. It seems obvious but i cannot think of a proof. Or just prove that $x+x$ is larger than $x$ for positive $x$.

A: $$
\begin{aligned}
x \phantom{\:+0} &= x \\
0 &< \phantom{x+\:} x \\
x + 0&< x + x \\
x/2 &< x/2 + x/2 \\
x/2 &< x
\end{aligned}
$$

A: Note that if:
$$x>0$$
Then add $x$ to both sides:
$$x+x>0+x$$
Or
$$2x>x$$
Then we may divide by $2$
$$x>\frac{x}{2}$$

Movie Review (II): Anatomy of a Great Deception—The Happening
Posted on September 7, 2014 by Brian Wright
Launch Party premier of extraordinary film by David Hooper
Event commentary and movie review by Brian Wright
This column is as much a 'Happening' review as a movie review. The Happening is the actual debut of the film, in Detroit, Michigan, at the Fillmore entertainment center (for most of its life, the State Theatre). Mr. David Hooper, producer and writer/director of the film, is on hand, as are the many people on the production and promotion team. In addition, Mr. Richard Gage, founder and director of Architects and Engineers for 9/11 Truth (AE911truth.org), comes into town to introduce Dave on stage and generally contribute to the success of the launch.
Then entré the hundreds of ticket holders. [All right, not hundreds in 'close to a thousand,' but definitely 'close to 500.' And enthusiastic, of all ages and conditions. Myself and Susan? We bought the VIP package.] Premier or launch night is to be a Big Deal, full of entertainment acts, limos, and the normal trappings of a glitzy opening night. Ours isn't quite up to Hollywood standards—for one thing I don't see a single tuxedo and only a few women are wearing evening gowns. [Idle thought: I can't help wondering how the top dress designers who like to show lovely soft skin are going to accommodate the younger crowd coming along, many of whom go in for these broad swaths of blue-gargoyle body art.]
[Note: I'm not grousing by any means, as you'll see later, only doing my part as a journalist:]
The Fillmore is a lot glitzier and commodious on the inside than on the outside: 1) street air temperature is in the 90s, 2) the Fillmore is on the other side of the street from Detroit Tiger Stadium (which is having a game tonight), 3) road construction abounds, narrowing the broad expanse of Woodward Avenue to one lane in front of the theatre—good for pedestrian safety but makes congestion and parking even more problematic (and expensive), 4) not only does the Fillmore lack its own parking, there's no indoor space for early arrivals: "Doors open at 7:00 p.m." we're told rather brusquely by the ticket chick.
In general, the leadup and hanging out in either the VIP line or the regular ticket line is, well, kind of grungy, to be candid. Certainly, any VIP worth his limo wouldn't stand for such rude conditions… unless of course there's a cause involved. Besides, I've just parked my 1997 Mercury Villager for $20, and I hardly feel VIP. Yet. Hey, the Fillmore is a comer, catering mainly to the young crowd for music and dancing events. The management and worker bees have to be averaging 30 years old; I give them tons of street credit for trying to make a go of it here in what used to be a great American city… at one time a jewel of the Midwest, a close second to the Windy City 200 miles west (Chicago).
Fact is, aside from the exasperating event ticketing processes—we're told to stand on the red carpet entrance area, but when the names for the VIPs come down to the ticket office, we have to refile on the other side of the ropes to be given our wristbands (itself a bizarre process where the clerk reads from a listing, finds your name, checks your ID, then has you insert your wrist into the ticket window where she wraps a yellow ribbon around it)—and the aforementioned rude conditions, I'm wholly in my element. And so is my 'date' the lovely Susan Starchild of Grosse Ile. Eventually, the doors part and we make our way into a nostalgic architectural treasure toward the final stages of restoration. Wow!
Wow, again! Now I truly feel like the VIP I paid $32 for back on the Indiegogo crowdfunding platform. It's like flying first class without your wallet being dragged through the coals. And once you get a taste of such things, you rather come to like the experience. I'm already used to this feeling, and I'm sure so are the others on this wavelength paid for in passion for truth and justice. The building totally lives up to one's feeling specially occasioned, just the right touch of an elegant past combined with refurbished balcony seating… not to mention an open bar. "Susan, let me buy you whatever you're having." We are totally in the catbird's perch watching Anatomy on a screen 2/3 the wingspan of a 757.
It is a complete cinematic audio-visual delight, the sound system fully up to the task… for which I must say the superior production values pose a formidable challenge. I'll review the movie—commenting further on those values—below, but first let me comment on the remainder of my plush special evening for La Causa in the Motor City. This fine spectacle, and the reception at Filmmaker Hooper's digs the previous night, represent the skillful melding of two sorts of self-starting people: media and technical. Which in turn bring legions of friends and supporters from both camps to mix and match. What marvelous interaction in the aftermath of the film.
In other words, we're on a roll now. Dave Hooper is our fortunate catalyst, the entrepreneur with a funloving streak and a glint in his eye who nonetheless is Detroit everyman… and by those roots connected naturally to 'just folks' around the country, and around the world. Anatomy's unique 'personalization' of the cause is what will carry the field and win the day. Just as his friends and family came to the truth after watching the first iteration of Dave's labor of love, so, too, will all (well, most, initially, but, yes, all, eventually, because truth will out in the end… even on 9/11) of our own friends and family—we who have labored more anonymously for so long under the burden of rejection—when they see the world-class, polished version.
I want to salute all the creative media and entertainment business people who enabled Dave's artistic vision. I don't recall all their names, but I'll get them right soon enough. [I'm told a sequel(s) is in the offing.] I also want to send kudos out to the AE911 leadership and other industrious truthers who have been working the fields so persistently for years, as myself, with more discouragement than reward. Now we see the light at the end of a loooonggg tunnel.
Without our valuable work and indomitable spirit, Dave would not have had the shoulders to stand on… to see such a promising route to daylight. Many of these local Detroit-area people were invited to the Hoopers' domicile on Grosse Ile for a private reception the night before the Launch.
So just a note or two and pictures on that soirée: Talk about personalization! David is all about his wife Betsy and their family, which I believe is a blend of three boys from her previous and one girl of their own—but the details elude me. The birth of the 4th occurred in the middle of the Anatomy project, and along with financial downturns put some serious stress on their marriage. [These deeply emotional trials the moviemaker went thru, even very close to the point of Betsy's walking out the door, are the front-and-center humanizing qualities that lend universal, man-on-the-street credit to David's film. As if to tell us, "Any struggle this valiant and risky must certainly bear deep and abiding truth in its soul; no one out for a lark would have persisted against such adversity."]
But the reception is not about business, rather fun and celebration. The David Hooper story of rags-to-riches cycles will soon become part of American folklore, I'm sure, but for now you may simply log on to LinkedIn to get his D&B 411. He's a classic entrepreneur, and Anatomy is the product of his film company, MovingFlicks.com. Qua moviemaker, Dave has assembled many skilled contributors—from cinematographers, set designers, sound architects, editors and writers, producers, media and PR persons, technical advisors (primarily via AE911 resources), and so on… most working for peanuts. I meet the sound man, also named Dave, tonight, and some other team members. But the majority of Hooper's people at the reception, aside from half a dozen local 9/11 truth activists and their guests, like me, are simply Dave and Betsy's Grosse Ile neighbors and friends. Enchanté.
So that's enough of the sociology. Let me give major snaps to everyone on the production and distribution team. They performed their magic splendidly! The production values are world class. From my brief personal contact with Dave Hooper, I have a solid, growing conviction that the man is what we call 'a winner.' A special sort of guy who looks trouble in the face and if he can't finesse it or walk around it, basically plows through it. He keeps his eye on the prize, and the prize in his eyes is an order of magnitude taller than what we more run-of-the-mill workers have in mind. I believe he sees Anatomy sweeping the world and winning an Oscar for best documentary, while making $millions. What's more, he causes many of us to see the same thing. What a find! What a guy! And he achieves his success having a bundle of good-old-fashioned fun doing it.
As Victor Laszlo says to Rick Blaine in Casablanca, "Now I know our side will win."
Like David, I came to question the official story of the 9/11/2001 attacks several years after they took place. But unlike David, my frustration in not being able to get friends, family, and huckleberries to so much as look at the evidence did not lead to creation of a deeply personal movie as a way around these obstacles. The same may be said for the soon-to-be millions of 9/11 truth activists (and Gandhian Satyagraha activists)[1] around the world. Despite mountains of evidence and persistent strong reasoning from objective reality, our collective batting average in convincing others to look at the evidence has been approximately 0.015… and that's counting walks as singles.:)
Why Won't They Look at the Evidence?!
Because they are afraid. Simple as that. It has nothing to do with logic and science, or the gargantuan, absolutely cartoonish holes in the official story. No. People just don't want to know. One man told me, "Even if what you're saying is true, I'm not going to believe it!" Which translates, "I have this deep anxiety that truth about the crime of the century—specifically that 'my country' had a causal role in it—will destroy 'my country' and, with it, me." After decades of sophisticated mind control by the ruling class, millions of Americans see themselves basically as flag-waving consumer-puppets, mind-pawns who literally can't function without some Wizard of HDTV pulling the strings.
Thus the average 'respectable' middle-class American—meaning those who have a stake in the system, who have been assured by teachers, employers, accountants, attorneys, anchormen, real estate agents, and establishment pols that "all will be well in the garden" so long as they don't ask too many questions—is going to effin' freak out when Toto starts wandering over toward the Curtain of Illusion. "Do… not… go… there," is the hysterical refrain… accompanied by primeval, limbic-system hatred toward any truth-seeking Dorothy who neglects to keep her dog leashed.
Note: From my experience, the deeper you go into 'the 99%', meaning into the vast blue collar majority whose lives have been throttled, jobs lost, and who never got within sipping distance of a silver spoon… the more people are inclined to look at the evidence, to be open to the truth and arguments that 9/11 was an inside job. They have nothing to lose. Should the facts reveal that inner sanctums of the Western Oligarchy hatched and performed the horrific attacks, the common man will not be astounded. It merely confirms what he already knows: the 1% are mad dog murderous psychopaths who must be stopped. [Opinion polls corroborate that most people do not believe the official story of 9/11 for a New York minute. Most of Europe thinks Americans are trapped in a 9/11 'Truman Show,' they keep waiting for us to see it's not real.]
But as libertarian 'sensei' and humorist Karl Hess once put it: "Everybody's people." Even after years inside the Matrix—with 1000s of hours of confinement in government schools and decades of pushing the fools-gold levers of Madison Avenue—most humans, most Americans anyway, still have a feel of their own enormous potential as individuals. They know there's a set of spark plugs lying around somewhere that belong to them; that they are meant to think and do for themselves as individuals, make their own Bang-Bang free of the sad HD Cage of Glitter-Flicker.
Creatively Encouraging People to 'Look at the Evidence'
That's what David Hooper does. In his own words:
"Even though, I didn't know it at the time, work on this film started in February 2011. Back then I was a regular guy trying to live the American dream, with three kids and a wife, who was pregnant with number four!
"It started with an innocent question about 9/11. And that lead to more innocent questions. And after a while, I completely changed my opinion of the official story of that day.
"That was a very hard time in my life. It felt like my world was turned upside down. I couldn't stop researching. I was unemployed. And I was running out of savings. I tried talking about it, but felt like no one was listening. At the time, my wife didn't even believe me . . . nor did my friends and family. No matter what I tried, nothing worked.
"So, to preserve my sanity and save my marriage, I began putting this film together. I had no idea any of this would ever happen because I simply made it for my wife, my sister and a couple of dear friends. I made it to speak to them directly, to get them to open their eyes. And it worked, because just about all my friends and family that have seen it have changed their opinion about 9/11, maybe all by the time you read this!
"As time went on, I realized there are millions of people, like me, who've had a hard time talking about the truth of 9/11 with people in our lives. As I further understood that and continued getting requests to see the film, it began to evolve into a "bridge" for all us, no matter where we stand on 9/11.
"Mostly, the film is meant to be an effective introduction to the controversies of 9/11 for those of us who still have no idea there are any controversies. If this issue is going to ever get into the spotlight, it'll need a catalyst and I hope this film can do it."
And for that, for figuring out that the best way around refusal to see is to tell your own emotional story in vivid imagery, we in the 9/11 truth movement and the broader global Satyagraha are totally in Mr. Hooper's debt.
My Impressions of the Premier Version of Anatomy
Note that the first version of the film was prereleased in the spring of 2014. It lacks many of the higher production-value bells and whistles of the launch version. And some of the content has been significantly energized. Nonetheless, one common thread that breaks thru into the final version is the energetic and Dragnet-style pace of the video: "just the facts, mam, so pay attention." Hooper is not easily distracted: he's like a bright kid who likes to play in the yard, but when he sees a butterfly emerging from a cocoon turns it into a science project.
It wasn't until 2011 that Dave decided to look into the World Trade Center destruction. He discovered that WTC Building 7 had also come down in a manner that Dan Rather stated resembled a controlled demolition. Without having been struck by a plane. Further, the original 9/11 Commission Report had not mentioned WTC7 even in passing. This seemed very strange. It also just seemed wrong, very wrong, that the government had persistently ignored requests from surviving family members to conduct a true forensic investigation of what happened to the New York high-rises.
At this point, Dave was hooked, there was no turning back, like Alice in Wonderland, he was going to see this mindblowing adventure through to the end. He mainly describes the various evidence of controlled demolition for WTC7… let me be more specific:
Free fall speed
Symmetrical collapse
Molten steel
Neat rubble piles
High-tech US military-grade thermite
… and half a dozen more, each of them thoroughly documented and supported by experts. He then recounts the blatant denials and lies of government 'investigation' officials such as the National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) who go so far as to claim nobody (including the government agency FEMA who documented it… and hundreds of persons) ever witnessed molten metal. Well, for Dave, that pretty much made it a slam dunk that the official story was toast—further that the highest powers in government and corporate media were participating in a desperate coverup… not to mention a futile one.
As the Buddhist saying goes: "Three things cannot remain long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth."
Anatomy of a Great Deception is a powerful movie, one best viewed on an 40'x80′ screen in a classic old theater with a rock concert sound system. Even though it's a documentary. The sound backdrop is dramatic and uplifting, heavy on drumrolls and other percussion, it moves. Relentless, is the one word I would use to describe the overall effect: despite the litany of technical facts and personal testimony you never twiddle your thumbs, rather keep them glued to the edge of your seat. Like bad cop/good cop or the musical principle alternating masculine and feminine themes, David relates the true 9/11 story via highly esteemed experts, puts in his two cents, then pauses for a 'family moment:' as in, "I had just learned that the media had foreknowledge of WTC 7's destruction when Betsy went into labor and our savings had run out…" [kidding for emphasis, but it's pretty close to real].
The average viewer is reluctantly drawn along by a jackhammer-fact narrative that tanks his entire belief system, then despite himself warms to this everyman narrator whose simple ideals for truth and justice are undercut by misperceptions of family and friends. These are some universal heartstrings being tugged at here. Esp. the guy thing: "Hazel, remember that Christmas-tree deal up in Gaylord that would have had us living like kings… but you refused to cash in your 401K? Well, here's a can't-lose reindeer farm for a fraction of the price." 🙂
In the end, most viewers acquiesce: they open their eyes. Step 1.
With 9/11 and Satyagraha, we the people will not be denied. We shall enter the New Paradigm of human society—peace, freedom, and abundance—riding high on the message that 'our beliefs will be determined by knowledge rather than our knowledge determined by beliefs.' Dave Hooper's positive journey of discovery, shared successfully with his wife and friends, now us, and soon to be thousands and millions of others, is the unique personal touch[2] that makes this film so vital to Satyagraha. He's walked the walk and shows the rest of us how to gracefully lead others to look at the evidence; the world will never be the same. This is entertainment of the most intelligent, humanitarian kind.
Relish the opportunity if you have it to attend a true showing on the Big Screen. Also, buy the film and distribute widely. Host your own Anatomy DVD parties at local libraries and universities. Or if you don't want to socialize, simply hand the film to your friends, family, and huckleberries for private viewing in private conscience. Remember the story of the Emperor's New Clothes: once a small child attests to the facts, the obvious sweeps the realm… in a heartbeat. Be the leading edge you wish to see in the world.
Then Step 2.
[1] Gandhi argued that the global truth force or movement, which he called Satyagraha, was the spiritual requirement for overcoming the epic evils of misplaced power, that such power could not withstand the constant, nonviolent, grassroots assertion of humane truth. Ironically, he is supposed to have uttered this deep insight on 9/11/1901.
[2] Dave is a fellow Detroiter who has lived in the city and around it his whole life. I believe his origins and his work and play in the Detroit community add a special poignance to his creation: The Motor City, perhaps more than any other, symbolizes the American Dream: its humble blue collar appeal, its multiethnicity, and the aspirations of all of us to leverage our bootstraps and make something of our lives. With hard work and devotion to family, to country, and to whatever god(s) we hold dear. Real Detroiters, like real Americans, ask nothing of our public officials, no handouts, no bailouts: we only want them to work honestly, without favoritism or excess, and to accord us the simple truth of things.

At the end of the film Mr. Hooper glorifies the likes of William Cooper with the exact same level or even more enthusiasm than he gives to the great legacy of scientific evidence that AE911truth has uncovered. In his serious late night investigations, I presume Mr. Hooper would have at least looked at wikipedia's entry on Cooper. There he would have discovered Mr. Cooper's legacy of promoting that JFK was killed because he was to disclose an ET invasion and how Cooper shot a sheriff's deputy in the head and was then killed himself in the arrest raid. It is extremely irresponsible for Mr. Hooper to present Cooper as having the same or even more importance than the evidence presented by AE911truth in his film. The AE911truth board of directors (not the petition signers) formally endorsed this film and centrally helped in its fundraising. Be prepared to hear Mr. Hooper discuss Cooper's Illuminati world views on radio and other media when he is asked.
Ronald Burcham on September 10, 2014 at 10:45 said:
Even if the public pressure builds to a point that forces the pols to hold hearings, the truth will not come out.
For example, the Branch Davidian and David Koresh murders were investigated by a Republican congressional committee. The Republicans yielded to the Democrat's "minority." The Democrats made up the witness list and effectively squelched a meaningful investigation..
Lon Horiuchi, the FBI sniper that murdered Randy Weaver's wife was indicted and charged by the state with second degree murder. A federal judge took the case away from the state because Horiuchi was a federal employee. The judge dismissed the charge because of the immunity enjoyed by federal thugs acting in the line of duty.
The only way that 911 will stop being the butt of conspiracies is if it is investigated by a citizen's grand jury with full subpoena power, and even that is a long shot. Congressional hearings will bury any evidence linking it to the federal government, or to Israel's Mossad if it is implicated.
The Kennedy assassination Warren Commission, and the Pearl Harbor hearings ignored the embarrassing testimony and evidence. The feds protect their own. If congress or a special prosecutor investigates 911 it will be a white wash.

Inception 1 Raises $5M, VCs Pessimistic About U.S. Biotech Funding, EU Approves Amylin's Once-a-Week Diabetes Drug, & More San Diego Life Sciences News
Bruce V. Bigelow
@bvbigelow
Xconomy San Diego —
It was not a week for a lot of life sciences news, but what we've got is pretty interesting. Judge for yourselves; our roundup begins now.
—A global survey of venture capitalists released this week reveals substantial pessimism among VCs about venture investment levels in U.S. life sciences startups over the next five years. The annual survey by The National Venture Capital Association and Deloitte shows that 81 percent of the VCs polled expect biopharmaceutical investments in the U.S. to stay the same (51 percent) or decrease (30 percent) through 2016. In the medical device and equipment sector, 76 percent anticipate funding will stay the same (52 percent) or drop (24 percent). Their attitude toward China is just the opposite; with 100 percent of the VCs polled saying biopharmaceutical investments in China will rise (83 percent) or stay the same (17 percent). Nobody thought biopharma funding will decline in China. On medical devices and equipment, 93 percent anticipate investment levels will increase (77 percent) or stay the same (16 percent.)
—European Union drug regulators approved the once-weekly injectable version of exenatide (Bydureon) for treating type-2 diabetes, providing a shot in the arm to San Diego's Amylin Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: AMLN) and its partners-Indianapolis-based Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY) and Waltham, MA-based Alkermes (NASDAQ: ALKS). The FDA declined to approve Bydureon for the U.S. market eight months ago, asking the companies to run a thorough study that evaluated effects of bigger doses on patients' heart rates.
—Peppi Prasit, who left Amira Pharmaceuticals in November, appears to have started another San Diego biotech, Inception 1, which has raised $5 million in venture funding, according to a recent regulatory filing. Prasit, who was Amira's co-founder and chief scientific officer, is identified in the filing as an executive and director. There isn't much additional information disclosed. Versant Ventures partner Bradley Bolzon is listed as a director and San Diego's Thomas Coll is listed as an executive.
—San Diego's industrial biotech, Genomatica, received the EPA's annual Green Chemistry Challenge Award. Genomatica has genetically engineered a type of bacteria to consume sugar in fermentation tanks and produce 1,4-Butanediol (BDO), an intermediate "building block" chemical needed to make spandex and various plastics.
—Carlsbad, CA-based GenMark Diagnostics (NASDAQ: GNMK) said it arranged a secondary offering of its stock to the public at a price of $4.25 a share that was intended to raise at lease $30 million. The company makes automated DNA and RNA diagnostics testing systems.
—San Diego's Anaphore named former Fate Therapeutics CEO and Sanderling Ventures managing director Paul Grayson as its new CEO. He replaces founding CEO Kathy Bowdish, who will stay on as an Anaphore consultant.

We are Voces Boreales
Formed in 2006, the elite choir Voces Boreales has established itself
as an important force in the Canadian music landscape.
Contact usSee Concerts
Scroll to see more!
Founded in 2006, Voces Boreales chamber choir has carved out an enviable position in the classical music world. By combining the abundance of past and present-day repertoire, Voces Boreales offers listeners with original, accessible, and captivating concert experiences.
Shortly after founding Voces Boreales, Michael Zaugg created the Montreal Choral Institute, a registered non-profit organization that produces and supports Voces Boreales' concerts and educational activities: this has allowed Voces Boreales to grow and expand its activities of high musical and educational value, tailored to meet the needs of the local and national scene. All donations made to the Institute go towards Voces Boreales.
Creation of VB8
In 2019, Voces Boreales launched a new vocal octet, VB8, made up of 8 handpicked Voces Boreales choristers. VB8 explores new repertoire and thanks to its smaller, more flexible format, gives outreach performances in different and original venues.
In almost twenty years of existence, Voces Boreales has fostered a number of distinguished collaborations, like Karen Young, Hélène Dorion, Quatuor Bozzini, Quasar, and BradyWorks. In addition, it has been featured at Festival de Lanaudière and Festival Bach Montréal and was nominated twice for an Opus Prize by the Conseil Québécois de la musique.
Voces Boreales today
Both Voces Boreales and VB8 champion contemporary choral music and commissions new music – whilst performing this new repertoire in a historical context, alongside older repertoire. The choir prides itself on contributing to the careers of, among others, Benjamin Sigerson, Ian Chan, Louis Desjarlais, Avery Gietz, and Christopher Hossfeld, performing their works locally and internationally. Since 2014, Voces Boreales has performed over 50 pieces by Canadian artists, a true testament to its commitment to Canadian art.
Andrew Gray
Originally from the United Kingdom, Andrew Gray has made a name for himself in Montreal as a choral conductor and arranger. Starting out as a chorister at Durham Cathedral, United Kingdom, he went on to join the internationally acclaimed a cappella group The Swingle Singers, with whom he travelled around the world. He worked with Luciano Berio for performances of his opera Outis at La Scala in Milan and the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris. As a contemporary repertoire performer and soloist, he has sung for many distinguished conductors such as Pierre Boulez, Yan-Pascal Tortelier, David Robertson, David Zinman, and Arturo Tamayo. As a chorister, he has toured with a number of top choral ensembles, including Tenebrae, Ensemble vocal de Lausanne, the Theatre of Early Music, Studio de musique ancienne de Montréal, and VivaVoce.
Louis Desjarlais
Composer in Residence
Louis Desjarlais is a young Montreal based composer, holder of a master degree in composition conducted by Alan Belkin. Although Multi-instrumentalist, he works for the past decade almost exclusively with choirs and choir music. Rewarded in 2021 by Alliance Chorale du Québec with the Marie-Bernard award, Louis is a prolific composer, being regularly comissioned by pro choirs (Chœur de Chambre du Québec, Voces Boreales, Temps Fort), as well as numerous amateur choirs around the province.
Diane Ellison
Diane has extensive experience in corporate and non-profit sector management positions. Additionally, leadership roles within the volunteer milieu (board positions) have contributed to positive change management and sound fiscal project delivery within diverse organisations. These successful outcomes have resulted from clearly grasping the vision, establishing positive relationships with collaborators, and solid teams while ensuring that the environment reflects passion, enthusiasm and joy.
Pierre Thibaudeau
Originally, Pierre Thibaudeau was musically trained as a pianist. While doing his undergrad degree in maths and physics, however, he discovered his passion for choral singing, first as a singer and soon as a choral conductor. During his doctoral studies in mathematics at the University of Cambridge, not only was he exposed to and took part in the English choral and organ traditions but, in contact with the late Dr Mary Berry, discovered another passion, Gregorian Chant, which he practised as a cantor, capellmeister and teacher. Since 2016, he puts his organising skills to use as Returning Officer of the provincial electoral district of Acadie and, since 2020, of the federal district of Saint-Laurent. He has been a member of the board since 2018.
Philip Raphals
Philip Raphals is executive director of the Helios Centre, a non-profit energy research group, and president of NovoPower International, a start-up developing waste-heat-to-power systems for the data centre industry. A cellist, he was a founding member of the Orquesta Sinfónica Municipal de Caracas, and was for several years a frequent substitute on the Montreal Symphony. Philip has sung with Voces Boreales since 2018.
David Cronkite
David Cronkite is a pianist/keyboardist, chorister and composer. As pianist/keyboardist, he has appeared with several groups: l'Ensemble contemporain de Montréal, le Nouvel Ensemble Moderne, la Société de musique contemporaine du Québec, Codes d'Accès and BradyWorks. As chorister, he has sung with chamber choirs Voces Boreales and Viva Voce as well as with the choirs of the Montreal Symphony Orchestra and l'Orchestre Métropolitain.

Trading Tuitions > Categories > Amibroker > How to Calculate TWAP and use it for Trading?
TWAP or Time Weighted Average Price is another variant of VWAP (Volume Weighted Average Price). It is mostly used for large institutional investors to execute large orders without disturbing the market volatility. TWAP is defined as the average price of the stock for the specified period of time. It differs from VWAP as there is no volume involved in the calculation. In this post we will understand how to calculate TWAP and use it for trading. We will also explore TWAP AFL and Excel sheet.
As simple as that, TWAP calculation does not require any complex mathematical equations. The calculation is even simpler than VWAP.
TWAP is a must for retail traders who are practicing High Frequency Trading or other forms for Quantitative trading. It is useful for smart execution of orders by distributing it randomly throughout the day. Suppose your trading algorithm gives a buy signal and you want to buy 10000 stocks of TCS. You should divide this order into smaller chunks say 1000 each, and then execute trades based on TWAP value. Price below TWAP is generally undervalued and price above TWAP is overvalued. Placing order in smaller chunks would also lessen the impact on market and result in smooth execution.
TWAP is weighted based on time, VWAP is weighted based on time and volume.
VWAP trade will buy or sell 40% of a trade in the first half of the day and then the other 60% in the second half of the day. A TWAP trade would most likely execute an even 50/50 volume in the first and second half of the day.

Would You Eat Bugs?
Why grasshoppers and other creepy-crawly critters may be the future of food
Stephen Brashear/Getty
Baseball stadiums are famous for their snacks. Fans love to cheer on their favorite teams while chowing down. They feast on hot dogs, Cracker Jack, and . . . toasted grasshoppers?
Yes, you read that right. Grasshoppers are one of the most popular foods at T-Mobile Park. That's the home of the Seattle Mariners baseball team. People line up to pay $5 for a cup of the crunchy critters.
Don't worry. The bugs aren't alive. By the time they get to the ballpark, the insects have been cleaned and boiled. They're toasted and sprinkled with spices and lime juice. People say they taste salty. Fans pop the insects into their mouths like peanuts.
The grasshoppers have even sold out before the first pitch is thrown!
Baseball stadiums sell many snacks. Fans eat them as they cheer on their favorite teams. They feast on hot dogs, Cracker Jack, and . . . toasted grasshoppers?
Yes! That's right. Grasshoppers are a popular snack at T-Mobile Park. That's the home of the Seattle Mariners baseball team. People pay $5 for a cup of the crunchy critters.
Don't worry. The bugs aren't alive. Before they get to the ballpark, they're cleaned and boiled. Then they're toasted. They're sprinkled with spices and lime juice. People say they taste salty. Fans eat them like peanuts.
This treat has even sold out before the first pitch is thrown!

Yep, you read that correctly. Grasshoppers are one of the most popular foods at T-Mobile Park, the home of the Seattle Mariners baseball team. People attending games line up to pay $5 for a cup of the crunchy critters.
Don't worry—the bugs aren't alive. By the time they get to the ballpark, the insects have been cleaned and boiled. They're toasted and sprinkled with spices and lime juice. People describe the treat as tasting salty, and fans pop the insects into their mouths like peanuts.
Eating crickets, caterpillars, and bees might sound strange to you. But it is normal in many parts of the world. Billions of people in Africa, Asia, and Latin America dine on bugs.
Some people grill or fry these insects. Others prefer them live. Fancy restaurants serve special bug dishes, like buttery ant eggs in tortillas.
There are good reasons that people pile their plates with creepy-crawly critters. Insects are cheap and plentiful. They're also healthy. Many bugs are high in protein and vitamins.
A serving of mealworms has more protein than a serving of salmon!

Bug Benefits
In the U.S., we think of bugs as pests—not dinner. But scientists say that may change soon. In the future, we'll need more food sources because there will be more people. Earth's population is expected to grow by about 2 billion people in the next 30 years.
At the same time, climate change could damage our food supply. Heat waves, floods, or droughts can make it harder for farmers to grow vegetables, grains, and fruit.
Think of it this way: A field of corn takes at least two months to grow. It can be wiped out by bad weather.
But insects multiply and grow fast. Some insects can even lay thousands of eggs at a time. These new insects can reach adulthood in a matter of days.
Also, eating bugs is more sustainable than raising cattle, pigs, and other animals. Bugs require less land, water, and food. Farming bugs creates less waste because people eat most or all of the insect. We eat only certain parts of other animals.

Furthermore, eating bugs is more sustainable than raising cattle, pigs, and other animals because bugs require less land, water, and food. Farming bugs also creates less waste because people eat most or all of the insect. With other animals, we eat only certain parts.
Getting Past the Ick Factor
Does this mean you'll soon gobble up a bowl of mealworm macaroni? Probably not. Experts know it may be a while before most Americans accept bugs as food. So food companies are starting with products that don't look like bugs.
Cricket flour is sold at many grocery stores. It can be used to make pancakes, cookies, and other baked goods.
But if you're feeling brave, try some dried insects. They can be bought online. Who knows? Beetles might be your new favorite snack!

Would You Eat Algae?
Why seaweed and other slippery, slimy sea veggies may be the future of food
Back in the 1600s, many people refused to eat lobster. The sea creatures washed ashore in piles in what is now Maine. They were considered gross. Lobster was nicknamed "the poor man's protein." People in prison were fed lobster because no one wanted it.
Fast-forward to today. Lobster is now a fancy food. Maine holds a lobster celebration every year. It draws thousands of hungry fans. A whole lobster—complete with tail and claws—can cost $150 or more.
Could another weird-looking food from the sea become popular?
Some scientists are hoping so. In the future, your go-to meal might be green, slippery, and a little slimy. We're talking about algae!

Most sushi rolls are wrapped with dried seaweed.
What is algae? The word refers to a large group of plant-like organisms. They're found in bodies of water like oceans, rivers, and lakes.
Many types of algae are safe for humans to eat. Seaweed is one of the most popular. People in Asia have eaten it for centuries.
If you've ever tried sushi rolls, you've probably eaten seaweed too. Dried seaweed is used to wrap these rolls. Many people enjoy bright-green seaweed salads. Seaweed is also used in soups, stir-fries, and even ice cream!

The New Superfood
Algae is often called a "superfood." That's because it's full of vitamins and minerals. Some types of algae are also loaded with protein. That's important. As the world's population grows, scientists say we'll need to find new protein sources.
Farming algae is also better for the environment than other types of farming. Right now, about 70 percent of the planet's available fresh water is used to grow our food. But algae doesn't need fresh water to grow. It can grow in salt water, like the ocean.

Good, Not Gross
But what does algae taste like? That depends on which kind you are eating. Some algae have a salty flavor, like the ocean. Other types taste like grass. There is even a kind of algae that people say reminds them of bacon!
"Most people think algae is going to be gross. But it's not," says scientist Rebecca White. She is working to educate people about the benefits of algae. She suggests trying a food with algae in it to judge for yourself.
Algae products are already sold at some grocery stores. You can buy seaweed chips, kelp noodles, or algae protein powder. But will eating algae ever become truly popular?
Maybe. Instead of eating at Red Lobster, you may one day find yourself chowing down at a restaurant called Green Algae!

@LucyKosturko @codeorg A def of CS for educators: How to use computation as ally to solve probs and extend human abilities.
Yongpradit went on to suggest coding is only one of computer science's several principles, along with Internet, data, algorithms, societal impact, creativity, and abstraction—a perspective echoed by College Board's latest AP CS Principles course. Our students must understand that many computer science careers do not involve coding at all. The stereotype of a computer scientist sitting behind a desk all day hacking away at code is no longer relevant in today's digital economy.
A succinct and informative definition of computer science proves difficult because the discipline dovetails so freely into other fields. Conversations about "What is computer science?" almost always turn into "look at all the amazing applications of this field!" But this is exactly the point! It is a foundational skill that is relevant to almost every profession, with more "cool applications" than we could possibly name.
Let's compare computer science to another, similarly basic skill: writing. People who know how to write can be novelists or television broadcasters or museum curators or doctors. Indeed, you can't be a doctor if you can't write proficiently. Similarly, people who know how to code can be computer scientists or doctors or museum curators or… You get the picture. Coding and a basic understanding of computer science are huge stars on your resume since computing touches almost every discipline today. And as the world grows more digital, computer science skills are becoming an absolute necessity.
That skill set starts with knowing how a computer works—the languages it understands and the way it processes information. Learning how to code is, in essence, understanding how to "speak" the same language as a computer. This then leads to understanding how to leverage computers to solve problems—applying data mining techniques to criminal justice data, generating computer models of genetic structures, or developing artificial intelligence techniques to simulate one-on-one tutoring for education, just to name a few. The video below highlights the breath of the field, and as you can see, computer science, despite its name, is much broader than computers and science.

Study Masters in Australia 2022 For international Students
You can't do much better than a Masters in Australia if your interest in postgraduate study abroad is fuelled by a sense of adventure, a love of travel, and a desire to explore new things.
This article contains thorough information about postgraduate degrees in the Australian university system. This offers a guide to international student visas in Australia and information on the application procedure for Australian Masters degrees.
What Postgraduate opportunities are available to study Masters in Australia?
As an international Master's student, you'll have the opportunity to learn about the elements that make Australia one of the world's most desirable tourist destinations while also taking advantage of the universities' unparalleled educational opportunities.
Here are some of the reasons to study Masters in Australia this year:
World-class reputation – Eight Australian institutions are ranked among the top 150 universities globally.
International perspective – With over 500,000 international students, Australian universities must be doing something right!
Fantastic climate and quality of life — Australia is one of the world's safest and most stable countries, with enviable year-round sunshine.
Unique research opportunities – Australia's waters and beaches are well-known for being a surfer's paradise, but they also provide unrivalled opportunities for environmental science research. After all, how many other countries provide opportunities for their marine biologists to explore the Great Barrier Reef?
Programs that are well-known worldwide – Australian Master's degrees are internationally recognized and are based on the British degree system
Universities to study Masters in Australia
There are over 40 universities to study masters in Australia. Most of them are public institutions funded and administered by Australia's federal government.
Some have many campuses, but the majority are located within certain cities, with the eastern coast having the highest concentration.
As an international student, you can study Master's in Australia at any Australian university, provided you meet their application and admissions requirements. You will typically pay fees at a slightly higher rate but will otherwise be admitted on the same basis as domestic students.
Study masters in Australia; course types
You can study Masters in Australia in a range of degree formats. The organization of Australian degree qualifications will probably seem quite familiar if you have previous experience of a western university system.
Australia uses a three-tiered degree structure like the UK system (upon which it is modeled). Undergraduate Bachelor's degrees are followed by postgraduate Masters Degrees. Some students then continue to higher-level research qualifications, such as the Ph.D.
Many Australian degree programs also use similar names to their UK equivalents. For example, the titles of MA (Masters of Arts) and MSc (Master of Science) are widely employed.
However, some course names are different. A Master of Commerce degree is more common than a Master of Marketing degree. Meanwhile, rather than the UK Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), professional teaching qualifications are commonly referred to as Graduate Diplomas of Teaching (or Masters of Teaching).
How long does it take to study Masters in Australia?
The exact length of your Master's degree will depend on its course content and the type of program you study. Your professional and academic background may also be a factor in some cases. Most Master's degrees take one to two years to complete in Australia.
What about Masters by Research in Australia?
Most Australian universities offer both research-based Masters Degrees and taught courses. These will usually be academic programs (though some professional courses can include extended practical placements).
You can study Master's in Australia by Research as a terminal (final) qualification. You may be eligible to upgrade your registration to a Ph.D. if you pursue doctoral research.
Fees and funding to study masters in Australia
For international students, programs cost between AUD $22,000 and $50,000 per year (USD $16,530 to $37,575). Master's degrees in the arts and humanities will be at the bottom of the scale, while science-based degrees will be at the top. Subjects like Medicine and Veterinary science may have even higher scores.

Okay, figured I would move the wine part of our Napa trip to the wine section of the forum.
We found some really nice wines. We were tasting about 3 wineries a day, Sunday-Friday. The DW (Kim) tasted the standard tasting, and I did the reserve tastings. I would taste some of her wines, she tasted some of my wines. So for the wine tastings generally in the $5-15 range, we tasted a lot of wines.
We joined a new wine club, Turnbull, and rejoined the Kendall Jackson wine club, but at a higher level. Our other wine tasting partners joined the Seghesio wine club with a 4 bottle shipment that we will split.
V. Sattui Lodi Zinfandel 2006 qty 2. I also bought a case of zin futures. It will be bottled next year and shipped.
Turnbull 2005 Black Label (Cab, Merlot, Petit Verdot, Malbac, and Cab Franc) Wonderful wine, big, complex but darned expensive.
Ferrari Carano Muscat 2008 qty 2 (go to see the grounds more than for the wines).
Gustavo Thrace 2006 Barbera-best barbera I have ever had.
The Terraces at Quarry Vineyards 2006 Zinfandel-We bought a bottle of their Chard to serve with dinner. Our partners have found a local store to be able to buy it here.
We also found a wine on the wine train (the wine train is a story all on its own, but is was a great experience). It was a Hess Cab. with a purple lable and I can not remember the vineyard.
Plus, I bought a case of the Seghesio Sonoma Zin that was shipped and picked up today. Seghesio is a small producer, making only about 67,000 cases of the zin. While that sounds like a lot of wine, when you ship all over the country, that doesn't leave a lot in each location. That is why I got a case as soon as it was released.
Wines purchased at the tasting rooms are generally more money than buying them at your local wine supplier, but, you can not always get those wines locally. That is why we took the chance and hauled a case through the airport. That is a story too.
That is my week in wine country. A great time was had, and there is talk about doing it again in March 2011.


Vietnam has an area of 331,212 square kilometers, including about 327,480 square kilometers of land and over 4,200 square kilometers of inland sea with more than 2,800 islands, reefs in abundant shapes, near and far shore, including the Spratly and Paracel Islands belonging to Vietnam's sovereignty. In addition, Vietnam geography owns internal waters, territorial waters, exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and a continental shelf identified large nearly three times than the land area with over 1 million square kilometers.
• Territorial waters contiguous zone: 12 nautical miles (22 kilometers) from the territorial waters.
Vietnam border with Laos is specified based on ethnic basis, between rulers of Vietnam and Laos in the mid-17th century. It has been formally defined by a demarcation treaty signed in 1977 and ratified in 1986. Border with Cambodia is determined from the merger of western Mekong Delta in 1867, which has remained virtually unchanged. Borders on land and waters with China are outlined according to the French - Qing treaty in 1887 and 1895, the "borderline" that Vietnam and the People's Republic of China has agreed to respect in 1957-1958. However, Vietnam and China have conflicts relating to land and islands sovereignty from February 1979 up to now, after Vietnam-China border War in 1979. Accordingly, Republic of China (Taiwan), People's Republic of China and Vietnam have been currently claiming sovereignty over Paracel Islands and the problem has been still unresolved (Paracel Islands belong to Vietnam's sovereignty). In addition, at Spratly Islands, apart from Vietnam, there are five other countries remaining claiming its sovereignty, namely Republic of China (Taiwan), People's Republic of China, Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei (Spratly Islands belong to Vietnam's sovereignty).

For full time employees like me, Holidays + long weekends are much awaited! Me and my friends were able to book our promo tickets for a Friday to Sunday visit to Hongkong. It was our first to see the city so our itineraries were basically touristy.
I fell in love with the city lights , the rush and the Hongkong- style street food ! My 3 days visit was surely not enough and I am definitely going back to experience more of this city's off beaten corners.
At HK Airport . Theres a train within the complex to transfer passengers from the main terminal to the gates.
My first view of Bank of China Tower by Architect IM Pei . This tower is famous to architecture students since it was the first skyscraper in Asia at 315.0 m (1,033.5 ft) . Built during the late 80's.
View of Hongkong from the Peak Tram. My visit was during winter , so the city is quite gloomy.

Don't Fear the Death of Personalized Advertising: 3 Strategies for 2022
Instagram ads make their debut, here's what they look like
Omar Akhtar
A few weeks back, Instagram announced its intentions to start running ads on its platform and yesterday, it unveiled what those ads would look like.
In its blog post, Instagram announced that it was going to start running ads from only a handful of its partner brands, including adidas, Ben & Jerry's, Burberry, General Electric, Lexus, Levi's®, Macy's, Michael Kors, PayPal and Starwood. It also made clear that user feedback on the ads was very important to the company and that if they didn't like a particular ad, they could choose to hide them.
We want ads to be creative and engaging, so we're starting with just a handful of brands that are already great members of the Instagram community. If you see an ad that doesn't interest you, you can tap the "…" below it to hide it and provide feedback about what you didn't like. This will help us show you more interesting ads in the future.
As an example, Instagram showed a picture of its own ad, which looks like this:
It also had an example of a Levi's ad, which gives a better idea of what branded content will look like on the platform:
Of course, not everyone was happy, as can be seen from the user comments.
But ads are now a fact of life on social media platforms, and so far, Instagram seems to be doing it the right way, by making sure the branded content looks as good as the regular content and the ads aren't intrusive to users. More importantly, the ads won't use user's images ala Google.

Artemis 1 Test Flight Won't Happen Until May
By Shane McGlaun • 11 months ago
NASA has confirmed that the first flight for the Artemis 1 rocket won't happen in April. The earliest that launch could possibly happen is sometime in May. However, NASA officials have been clear that a May launch date could be difficult to achieve.
At a news conference, NASA's Tom Whitmeyer said that the agency is evaluating the main launch window, but there is a lot of work ahead. In May, NASA's launch window for the Artemis 1 mission runs from the 7th through the 21st.
If the agency cannot hit that launch window, the next window opens on June 29 and closes on July 12. There are several limitations placed on a possible rocket launch due to the design and functionality of Orion, which is solar-powered.
Artemis 1 is a critical mission and, if successful, will open the door for Artemis 2. Artemis 2 will send a crew on a flight to orbit the moon.

U.S. Stocks Sink as Investors Crave for Details on Bad Assets Plan
Dow Jones Index shed more than 380 points, led by plunging financial shares
U.S. stocks plunged on Tuesday with all major indexes dropping more than 4 percent as investors were disappointed that the new Financial Stability Plan did not offer more details on buying toxic assets.
Dow Jones Index shed more than 380 points, led by plunging financial shares.
FINANCIAL STABILITY PLAN
U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner announced a comprehensive Financial Stability Plan Tuesday morning, unveiling a new bailout package that could top 1.5 trillion U.S. dollars to restore the U.S. ailing financial system.
According to the plan, a new Public-Private Investment Fund will be created to provide government capital and financing to leverage private capital to buy up the "toxic assets" that are dragging down lending.
However, Geithner gave no details on how the new joint entity would price the toxic assets.
Financials suffered a severe sell-off as the uncertainty weighed on the market. Bank of America and Citigroup, which are mostly troubled with bad assets, tumbled 19.3 percent and 15.19 percent respectively.
Investors mainly shrugged off the news that the U.S. Senate approved a 838-billion-dollar economic stimulus package on Tuesday. The bill still needs to be compromised with the Congressional version of 819 billion dollars which was passed earlier this month.
MORE LAY-OFFS
More gloomy corporate news also helped to send the indexes lower.
General Motors Corp. decided to cut 10,000 salaried jobs in 2009 as part of a restructuring plan. The Detroit-based automaker said it will reduce its total number of white-collar workers by 14percent to 63,000. About 3,400, or 12 percent, of GM's 29,500 salaried U.S. jobs will be eliminated.
The world's largest chain retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc. announced Tuesday that it will cut 700 to 800 jobs at its northwestern Arkansas headquarters as it builds fewer new stores this year and makes other operational changes.
Boeing Co. lowered its reported fourth-quarter and fiscal 2008 earnings per share results late on Monday. The company reported a surprise fourth-quarter loss and announced plans to cut 10,000 jobs last month.
Swiss bank UBS AG said it would cut another 2,000 jobs after posting a larger-than-expected loss in the fourth quarter.
FALLING INVENTORIES
The U.S. Commerce Department reported Tuesday that U.S. wholesale inventories fell 1.4 percent in December, twice as much as forecast, as businesses faced slumping sales. It is the fourth straight monthly decline, the longest such stretch in almost seven years. Meanwhile, sales fell 3.6 percent after a 7.3 percent decline.
The report also showed that wholesalers had enough goods in stock to last 1.27 months at the current sales pace, the highest level since 2002.
The U.S. economy shrank at 3.8 percent in the fourth quarter, the worst since 1982. The most severe economic recession in decades has sent the demand in the United States and worldwide plunging.
In a Commerce Department report released earlier this month, factory inventories fell 1.4 percent in January. Retail stockpiles data is scheduled to be released on the coming Thursday.
The Dow Jones fell 381.99, or 4.62 percent, to 7888.88. Broader indexes also lost ground. The Standard & Poor's 500 index dropped 42.72, or 4.91 percent, to 827.17 and the Nasdaq slid 66.83, or 4.20 percent, to 1524.73.

New Investment Committed by ADERCO in the UK for a Stronger Maritime Future
By Cleaner Seas April 2, 2017 198
Leading fuel treatment specialist Aderco has opened an operational base in the UK to serve the marine markets here, in the US and the Caribbean in response to growing demand. Aderco chose the UK for its strategic location as well as its importance to the maritime sector, making it the ideal hub from which to combine customer service with closer proximity.
Peter Stevenson now leads Aderco Ltd from their new offices in Hampshire with additional staffing levels to provide a best-in-class service. The company will also serve as a reporting line for the company's worldwide network of distributorships. Peter Stevenson joined Aderco from Simplex-Turbulo earlier this year and is now beginning the next phase of the planned company strategy.
Peter Stevenson said, "This is an exciting time for Aderco, whose proven fuel treatments deliver cost savings and efficiency gains that are in tune with today's concerns and resonate with customers. Aderco has an outstanding commitment to innovation and we are continuously improving our solutions to enable the maritime industry to meet today and tomorrow's challenges. We have a strong commitment to the maritime sector, which began 35 years ago when we began working with the Canadian ice-breaker fleet. Since then we have been able to build a strong track record of saving costs, improving operational reliability and reducing emissions. We've hit the ground running here and I'm delighted to be working with such a dynamic team."
Olivier Baiwir, Aderco International CEO, said, ""Peter's broad depth and experience across the industries that are key to Aderco is making a difference and he adds a valuable perspective to our management team. His expertise, especially in leading technology initiatives at the enterprise level, has already shown extremely valuable to the shipping sector. The UK undoubtedly remains a key strategic location and we couldn't have a better team in place to support our customers and realise the potential for growth here as well as internationally.""
Aderco enables fuel oil-fired operations to run more cost effectively, smoothly and more sustainably through advanced fuel treatments. The company develops, manufactures and distributes specialised solutions, including fuel conditioners and lubricity improvers, for the marine/maritime, mining, power generation and transportation sectors. Aderco fuel treatments are 100% vegetal-organic, ashless and metal-free.
Peter Stevenson previously worked with Simplex-Turbulo as Managing Director where he initiated and oversaw the implementation of a CRM system, significantly increasing customer sales. He had first joined the company as Sales Director in 2012. Prior to Simplex, Stevenson was Sales Director at V Ships, liaising with the 11 marine service companies within V Ships. Responsible for internal and external sales, Stevenson identified and implemented a group-wide CRM solution there. Before joining V Ships, Peter Stevenson spent 29 years with UMC, beginning as a diver and exiting as a shareholder at the point of sale to V Ships.
