Stanford's No. 2 Davis Cooperating in Probe
The No. 2 executive at Stanford Financial Group, James M. Davis, is cooperating in federal criminal and civil fraud investigations of the business group, according to Mr. Davis's attorney.
The development could advance the inquiries, which haven't been able to secure information from Texas financier R. Allen Stanford, say people familiar with the matter. The Securities and Exchange Commission said earlier this month that Mr. Stanford had asserted his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in its civil case against him.
R. Allen Stanford
"We are fully cooperating with the federal investigations, " said David Finn, a Dallas attorney for Mr. Davis, and a former federal prosecutor.
Mr. Stanford and Mr. Davis, college roommates at Baylor University, were named last month in an SEC civil lawsuit in Dallas that accuses them of engineering "a massive Ponzi scheme" that misappropriated billions of dollars of investor funds.
After the lawsuit was filed, Mr. Stanford's companies were placed in receivership and have ceased operations, Mr. Davis was CFO of Stanford Financial.
A third Stanford Financial executive, Laura Pendergest-Holt, also was named in the suit and faces a separate criminal complaint accusing her of obstruction of justice.
No other criminal charges have been filed in the Stanford matter. But, even if Mr. Davis provides federal authorities with evidence against Mr. Stanford — whom Mr. Finn said "has hurt a lot of good people" — Mr. Davis still faces his own legal problems.
Mr. Davis, Mr. Stanford and Ms. Pendergest-Holt are subjects of a federal criminal investigation into Mr. Stanford's financial empire, according to people familiar with the matter.
A Justice Department spokesman declined to comment. The criminal investigation is being overseen by Paul Pelletier, principal deputy chief of the agency's fraud section in Washington.
Mr. Stanford couldn't be reached for comment. Through an attorney, Ms. Pendergest-Holt, Stanford Financial's chief investment officer, has denied any wrongdoing.
Mr. Davis's cooperation in the federal and civil probes marks a switch. According to the SEC lawsuit, he "refused to provide documents and information accounting for the bank's multi-billion dollar investment portfolio." He later also asserted his Fifth Amendment rights.
Mr. Davis served as a director and chief financial officer of both Stanford Financial and Stanford International Bank, based in Antigua.

Whether you have an interest in taxation, auditing or any other aspect of accounting, you should give some thought to which of the accredited accounting degree programs in Oklahoma can help you with the goals you have for the future.
Each of these programs offers something a little different for enrolled students. You may have the chance to intern at a major corporation, go on mock interviews with top accounting firms or learn from some of the top professionals working in that field today. These programs can also help you when it comes time to take a professional examination like the CPA exam.
Oklahoma City University is one of the largest colleges in the area and one of the only religiously affiliated schools too. Founded in 1904, it has an affiliation with the United Methodist Church. OCU used donations from alumni and others in the community to completely renovate its campus and bring in wireless Internet and other forms of technology that its students needed in more recent years. The Meinders School of Business, which offers graduate and undergraduate programs in accounting, business, finance and other topics, is the second largest department on this 100+ square acre campus in uptown Oklahoma City.
Though OCU offers a traditional accounting graduate program, it also offers a Master of Business Administration in Accounting. Its MBA program is available in one of two options. The first is the Early Advantage MBA, which is for students who have less work experience and those who recently graduated from college. It's a one-year program that requires students take 12 classes that are worth a total of 36 credit hours. The Professional MBA program is open to college graduates who already have work experience and have a current job. This program takes place over two years and also consists of 12 courses worth 36 credit hours. OCU allows students to select a concentration or a field of study within the program. Accounting students will take a variety of accounting courses like corporate taxation, internal auditing, accounting principles and legal and ethical issues in accounting. Students can also do an internship for an accounting company.
One of the best accredited accounting degree programs in Oklahoma is the MSA program at Oklahoma City University. Better known as the Master of Science in Accounting program, the MSA program ranks as one of the top graduate finance programs in the entire country. The university designed this course of study to meet the needs of busy students who work full-time jobs. OCU also reduced the cost of this program to help students better afford it. It consists of six core courses like accounting theory, accounting ethics, financial policies for managers and income taxation. The university requires that you take an additional four electives from courses like energy accounting. You can also do an internship to fulfill one or more of those electives or sign up for a special project. The university also offers two CPA review courses that prepare you for the CPA exam and count towards your electives.
The official name Oklahoma State University-Stillwater refers to the university better known as Oklahoma State University, OSU or just Oklahoma State. Founded in 1890 as Oklahoma A&M, the university offered courses designed for students with an interest in the agricultural or mechanical arts. It retained its focus on those types of programs for a number of years before finally expanding into other areas, but many of the programs it offers today still require a high level of research and independent thought from students. According to both Washington Monthly and U.S. News & World Report, Oklahoma State is one of the top 140 colleges in the nation.
Through its Watson School of Graduate Management and School of Accounting, Oklahoma State offers a Master of Science in Accounting program that comes in two different options. The 4/1 Program is suitable for students who have an undergraduate degree in accounting. This program lets them take 21 credit hours of graduate level accounting courses and 12 credit hours of upper level courses in business and other subjects. Some will need to complete a few prerequisites before enrolling in the 4/1 Program. Oklahoma State also offers a Professional Program in Accounting for students who want to earn an MS in Accounting. The university designed this program for undergraduate students who want to start work on an advanced degree while still in college. As a senior enrolled in Oklahoma State, you can begin taking graduate accounting courses and immediately enter the graduate program after completing an undergraduate degree.
Oklahoma State also offers a Master of Business Administration in Accounting for students who want to study accounting principles and learn more about the business world at the same time. Once you enroll in the Watson School of Graduate Management, you'll need to take all the courses required for the MBA program and then select a concentration in accounting. Accounting students must take four key courses, which include financial accounting research, tax accounting, auditing services and a seminar. The seminar, which looks at modern accounting theories or principles, will require that you take the knowledge you learn in the class and apply it to a paper or research project that you do outside of the classroom. You must also take several electives within the accounting department to complete a total of 18 credit hours of work on top of the 18 credit hours you do in the traditional MBA program.
Established in 1890, the University of Oklahoma is the state's oldest college and actually existed when the state was still just a territory. It originally served as an institution of higher learning that educated the new students flocking to the area and offered programs designed to help those students succeed in the often dangerous environment. Some of its earliest graduates worked as farmers and teachers. The university now offers more than 150 undergraduate programs and more than 160 programs for doctoral and graduate students. The Princeton Review twice highlighted the school for the technology and Internet services it provided to students.
The Master's of Accounting program, also known as a Master of Accountancy program, offered by the University of Oklahoma is available through its Price College of Business and John T. Steed School of Accounting. It ranks as one of the best accredited accounting degree programs in Oklahoma because it allows students to focus specifically on accounting without requiring that they take courses on business, marketing or other topics. Prerequisites for the program include eight accounting classes on topics like internal auditing, financial accounting and managerial accounting. You will also need to show that you took classes on business law, statistics, calculus and computer systems before enrolling in the program. If your transcript lacks any of those courses, you'll need to take those classes before starting. The MA program itself requires that you take 33 credit hours, which will include 18 credit hours of upper level accounting classes and 15 credits of business classes.
Founded in 1894, the University of Tulsa, also known as UT, started as a girls' school established by the Presbyterian Church. Its founders later added college courses and changed its name to Henry Kendall College. The school moved to Tulsa in 1907 and saw its enrollment rapidly grow. It was one of the only schools in the region to survive and remain open during the Great Depression. The College of Business Administration opened in 1935, making it one of the oldest colleges on campus. U.S. News & World Report listed UT within the top 100 colleges in the country.
The University of Tulsa makes it easy for you to complete your studies with a 4/1 Program. This program lets you spend three years taking undergraduate courses to finish a bachelor's degree and lets you take graduate courses during your senior year to finish both an undergraduate and graduate degree in just five years. If you attended another college in the past, you can enroll in the UT Master of Accountancy program. This program consists of 30 credit hours of work that you can complete in just 12 months. You will take a control systems course and a reporting class before doing an internship for an accounting firm. You must also take a minimum of 12 credit hours of electives like fraud prevention, tax planning and CPA test review and prep. UT also requires that accounting students take up to 12 credit hours of business electives like information security and human resource management.
Looking over the programs that are open to accounting students in the state is a great way to get an idea about what benefits each one offers and the benefits of those programs too. The top accredited accounting degree programs in Oklahoma accept students just like you.

Equinor: A Bridge To The Renewable Energy Revolution
Jun. 02, 2022 6:00 PM ETEquinor ASA (EQNR)23 Comments
Bill Gunderson
Equinor is well positioned to benefit from the hydrocarbon supply disruptions stemming from Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
With 2023 global natural gas futures trading at record levels, EQNR has a high degree of intermediate-term EPS growth visibility.
Equinor continues to boost its renewable power portfolio, generating 511 GWh in Q1 2022, a 13% increase over Q1 2021.
EQNR is a "Strong Buy" with a five-year price target of $152. We currently hold the stock in our Dividend & Growth and Premier Growth portfolio strategies.

The 2022 market narrative has been dominated by Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the conflict's effect on commodity prices. After a decade of underinvestment in fossil fuel extraction, the shunning of Russian hydrocarbons has been painful on a global level. As the energy transition toward renewables presses forward, liquefied natural gas appears to be the bridge of choice. In light of natural gas prices rising more than 165% year-over-year, the path to renewables looks more like a toll bridge. With Europe poised to take on the brunt of Russia's energy export sanctions, Equinor ASA (NYSE:EQNR) is well positioned to play the role of toll collector.
Best Stocks Now App
Equinor is a Norway-based company with a diversified energy portfolio, consisting of petroleum, natural gas, and renewable assets. With more than 68% of the company's production coming from the Norwegian continental shelf, EQNR's geographic proximity to continental Europe provides for operational advantages and efficiencies. Europe's clamoring for energy security and the recent statement by the European Union reclassifying natural gas fired power plants as "green energy" provide Equinor with demand tailwinds for years to come.
Equinor continues to diversify sources of revenue by bolstering the renewable energy portfolio. EQNR's investments in wind and solar help offset the underlying risks associated with fluctuating oil and gas prices. Renewable energy production rose to 511 GWh in Q1 2022, a 13% increase from Q1 2021. The company also is capitalizing on expertise with CO2 storage/capture, recently being awarded two licenses in the North Sea and Barents Sea. We view the CO2 storage/capture vertical as a consistent source of future revenue growth.
Why the constant search for sustainability? When placing a five-year price target on a company's equity, the BSN methodology puts a high emphasis on "visible sustainable growth." Extended growth forecasts come with their own set of limitations. These limitations are even more prevalent for commodity-based names. Statistically speaking, the further out we forecast, the lower our confidence interval becomes around modeled expectations. To combat confidence interval slippage, we look for signs of earnings growth visibility. As the degree of earnings visibility increases so do the chances that our growth assumptions will come to fruition.
For a stock that has risen 60% over the last 12 months, Equinor's fundamentals remain very attractive. Sporting a PEG ratio of 0.11 and a forward P/E ratio under 5.5, EQNR fits the value driven bias observed in periods of rising interest rates. Our valuation model suggests a five-year price target of $191. However, to compensate for the elevated risks surrounding commodity-based companies, we're adjusting down our price target expectations by 20%. This results in a five-year price target of $152 for shares of EQNR.
As a reminder, our rankings blend both fundamental and technical analysis. We assign a weighting to factors across both disciplines with those stocks scoring the highest comprising the upper echelon of the rankings. Historically, financial analysts have looked at fundamental and technical characteristics of stocks in a vacuum. I find that incorporating both into my models allows us to better avoid "value traps" and "high fliers" with great charts, but no visible earnings backing them up.
stockcharts.com
The chart for Equinor remains constructive, steadily rising over the last 12 months. EQNR was largely range-bound, from October 2021 through February 2022. The commencement of Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022, catapulted the stock through most of April. The brief pullback observed in late April and early May, was primarily driven by demand worries, resulting from the ongoing COVID lockdowns in China. A strong earnings announcement on May 4 helped shares of EQNR put in a near-term support level of around $32 and provided the catalyst for rocketing back to levels not seen since 2008.
We continue to view Equinor as a "Strong Buy" with the stock consistently ranking in the top quartile of our Best Stocks Now app. EQNR currently sits 35th out of the 6,094 securities we track. We hold Equinor in both our Dividend & Growth and Premier Growth portfolios.
While earnings results for commodities-based businesses are highly sensitive to the price of the underlying commodity, we expect the favorable pricing environment to remain intact. Tailwinds for oil and liquid natural gas prices should persist as the European region re-configures energy sources in light of the supply shocks created by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Additionally, Equinor's increasingly diverse sources of revenue helps to alleviate embedded volatility in the company's stock price. EQNR's hydrocarbon strategy is spread out geographically and incorporates all aspects of the industry: Exploration, production, transportation, and refining. Management's proven success developing renewable energy projects and EQNR's acquisition of Danske Commodities in 2018 provides a cushion for the boom-and-bust cycles that have plagued the energy sector.

Anyone have this? I have always used Dark Smoke tinted shields on my shoei full face helmets. My main concern is will it be a dark as my dark smoke on a sunny day? I will be riding Colorado next week and will probably experience a moderate amount of rain riding. So it would be nice to have the transition shield if it will be dark enough on a sunny day.
Let me know your experience please if you have one.
I do. Like it very much.
Is it dark enough in full sun to ride without sunglasses?
How much do those cost? That bothered me during the years I used a Shoei Multitec. Night riding was a tad problematic too. I love the snap-down sun visor inside my Nolan.
You had the transition shield? Yes it's really pricy! Was night riding problems?
Glad my Neotec has the internal drop down visor. I've always wondered why transition tech hasn't become more widespread in motorcycle helmets.
Sorry for the confusion. No, I had a smoky gray face shield. If I had to ride at night, I pretty much just left it open and ate a few June bugs.
Not Shoei, but I have the Bell Transitions shield. In my opinion it does darken enough to use without sunglasses. I would guess it lands about halfway between light smoke and dark smoke.
Maybe we should try to work out a comparison at a M&G?
I have transition glasses and if that shield works like them you will want to avoid tunnels!
They don't change near as fast as the commercial s.
I have the GT air with the flip down sun shield.
I used to have a electrochromic insert that worked great.

Earth Day – a continued investment

BACK TO Commitments
At UniCredit we are committed to contributing towards a more sustainable world in everything we do. We do this by investing in our five core capitals: Natural Capital, Social & Relationship Capital, Financial Capital, Human Capital and Intellectual Capital, which are all interlinked and underpinned by our Purpose of Empowering Communities to Progress.
UniCredit is Investing in our Planet through our commitment to protecting Natural Capital by delivering sustainable financing solutions to our clients, supporting them and our communities in the energy transition, investing in sustainable innovation and reducing the environmental impact of our direct operations.
In addition to Earth Day, yesterday 21 April also marked the first anniversary of the UN-convened Net-Zero Banking Alliance (NZBA), which UniCredit signed-up to with a pledge to reach net-zero on own emissions by 2030 and on our financed emissions by 2050, in October last year. NZBA brings together banks worldwide representing over 40% of global banking assets, all committed to aligning their lending and investment portfolios with net-zero emissions by 2050. Combining near-term action with accountability, this ambitious promise sees signatory banks setting an intermediate target for 2030 or sooner, using robust, science-based guidelines. Since joining the Alliance, UniCredit has set up a dedicated taskforce to follow our net-zero journey, also leveraging on external and third-party expertise to benefit from industry best practice and the latest scientific knowledge.
We also play a strategic role in fostering the transition towards a circular economy, a building block of the European Green Deal and one of the six objectives of the EU Taxonomy. There are several ways in which we contribute to the circular transition: through finance / lending, advisory, synergies and partnerships, and internal initiatives in terms of resource efficiency and recycling.
Furthermore, we support innovative start-ups and SMEs with a strong ESG footprint and those that are actively involved in the circular economy. In 2021 in Italy, we gave our support to 50 start-ups that were able to raise more than 33 million euros of investment in the innovation ecosystem.
All our activities and efforts linked to the environment are not in isolation. Given the path to a more sustainable future is a collective effort, it is furthermore strongly tied to our ongoing social initiatives in all our communities. We are committed to acting as engines of individual and collective growth, Empowering Communities to Progress and help people, communities, and countries in unlocking their potential. This means promoting stronger economic participation for everyone as well as fostering financial inclusion, helping people and businesses improve their financial skills.
To find out more about how we leverage our 5 core capitals to contribute towards a more sustainable world in an integrated way, follow our social media channels over the coming weeks, which will deep-dive into each of these areas or visit our Integrated Report for complete information on how UniCredit is working to unlock the potential of all our stakeholders.

DarkMarket was an English-speaking internet cybercrime forum created by Renukanth Subramaniam in London that was shut down in 2008 after FBI agent J. Keith Mularski infiltrated it using the alias Master Splyntr, leading to more than 60 arrests worldwide. Subramaniam, who used the alias JiLsi, admitted conspiracy to defraud and was sentenced to nearly five years in prison in February 2010.

DarkMarket also refers to a new darknet market founded in 2019 under the same name. However, German prosecutors in the cities of Koblenz and Oldenburg said 12 January 2021 that they had shut down what was "probably the largest illegal marketplace on the Darknet" called DarkMarket and physically arrested the man believed to operate it near Germany's border with Denmark.

The website allowed buyers and sellers of stolen identities and credit card data to meet and conduct criminal enterprise in an entrepreneurial, peer-reviewed environment. It had 2,500 users at its peak.

According to supervisory special agent Mularski of the FBI's Cyber Initiative & Resource Fusion Unit, their undercover operation was "very successful in getting to the upper echelons of the Dark Market group and we were actually able to run the server and host all the communications that were going on there to make our cases." He obtained full access to everyone using the site and what they were doing by securing the server after gaining Subramaniam's confidence.

In Congressional testimony on November 17, 2009, FBI Deputy Assistant Director, Cyber Division Steven R. Chabinsky described the FBI operation:

In a speech to the GovSec/FOSE Conference on March 23, 2010, Chabinsky related explained

Another DarkMarket member, Thomas James Frederick Smith, pleaded guilty on June 10, 2010, to conspiracy to intentionally cause damage to a protected computer and to commit computer fraud.

In the digital world, LinkedIn is the professional equivalent of Facebook. Professionals can network online by sharing their thoughts and ideas, updating the career profile and connect with like-minded individuals.
Every business owner needs to take advantage of it by using the features to the fullest potential.
As with any online account there needs to be a fair amount of networking taking place. Fortunately, LinkedIn allows business owners to connect with their current list of contacts as well as potential contacts in the greater LinkedIn community. Those who are connected to you will be able to view your company profile to keep up to date with the latest news about your business.
Have all your employees set up a LinkedIn account and connect to one another. By extending your network, you are creating exposure to the outside community. Not only does it benefit your company, but it is also beneficial to your employees for their own career growth.
The secret to finding potential clients is to create your own group on LinkedIn. Once you have your group set up, join as many groups as you can where you will find possible clients. The next step is to interact with the people on the group by clicking on Members and filtering the list of members further by searching for certain job titles. Choose job titles of members that best suit your client base and invite those people to your own group. Be sure to add a personalised message to the invitation. The invitees who have joined your group will be in one place and in your control, so you ensure that no competitors get in.
Creating a group with clients allows you to share content that can be of great value to members. You will be able to demonstrate your expertise but be sure to avoid overt sales pitches. An ideal benefit of all of this is that you have a built-in email list that you can use to your advantage by creating a focus group of your client prospects.
Relationships with business partners and media contacts are very important to have on LinkedIn as this is a clear indication of your influence in the market. If you want to infiltrate the market, you can be precise about who you want to reach. If your business needs to expand into the retail trade, you can reach out to industry leading designers. Further extend your reach by contacting members of the media who cover stories in your industry.
You will soon come to realise that you share a connection with many business people you would have never discovered without LinkedIn.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation has launched a probe into the hacking of the Democratic National Committee's emails, the bureau announced Monday.
"The FBI is investigating a cyber intrusion involving the DNC and are working to determine the nature and scope of the matter," the agency said in a statement. "A compromise of this nature is something we take very seriously, and the FBI will continue to investigate and hold accountable those who pose a threat in cyberspace."
The publication of the approximately 20,000 emails showed a DNC favorable to Hillary Clinton over Bernie Sanders, leading Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz to announce her resignation on Sunday, effective at the end of the party's convention this week.
The Clinton campaign suggested on Sunday that Russia had played a role in the affair, with campaign manager Robby Mook saying that the Kremlin is trying to help Donald Trump. On Monday, Mook pointed to reporting by The New York Times citing researchers who have concluded that two Russian intelligence agencies had breached the party's servers.
Trump mocked the notion that Putin was involved, tweeting, "The new joke in town is that Russia leaked the disastrous DNC e-mails, which should never have been written (stupid), because Putin likes me"

Kenneth Ross Henry  (born 27 November 1957) is an Australian economist and public servant who served as the Secretary of the Department of the Treasury from 2001 to 2011.

During his time as Secretary of the Treasury, Henry chaired the major Future Tax System Review, which became known as the Henry Tax Review, a document published in 2010 which is credited with shaping Australian tax policy over the following decade. He retired from the civil service in March 2011, and weeks later was appointed Special Adviser to Prime Minister Julia Gillard. During his time in this role, he chaired the committee which produced the White Paper on Australia in the Asian Century. He left his role as Special Adviser in 2013, and became Chairman of the Australian Securities Exchange, Chairman of the National Australia Bank, and joined the Sir Roland Wilson Foundation at the Australian National University.

Education and early career
Ken Henry studied economics at the University of New South Wales, graduating in 1979. After, he lectured in economics at the University of Canterbury in New Zealand while studying for his Doctor of Philosophy degree at the same institution. From September 1986 to June 1991, Dr Henry worked as a senior adviser to the Labor Treasurer, Paul Keating, providing advice on taxation policy and administration, retirement incomes policy, industry policy and microeconomic reform (including telecommunications reform). In June 1991 he returned to the Treasury, becoming head of the Microeconomic Modelling Unit. In July 1992 he took up the position of Minister-Counsellor (Economic and Financial Affairs) in the Australian Delegation to the OECD in Paris. During this time, he has served as an Australian representative to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (1992–94). He was the Treasury department secretary from April 2001 until March 2011; and therefore an ex-officio member of the board of the Reserve Bank of Australia.

Henry remained head of Treasury in the transition from Liberal to Labor Governments in 2007. In 2008 he headed Australia's Future Tax System Review Panel, charged with examining all aspects of the Australian tax system with a view to reform.

Treasury

Climate change
In 2004, Henry recommended a National Emissions Trading Scheme to thwart climate change, however the advice at the time was ignored. His recommendations have since been praised.

Consumption tax modelling

Ken Henry has been criticised for his role in modelling the Hewson Liberal opposition reform package known as Fightback!. That package contained as a central element a goods and services tax, similar to both the Option C developed by Henry for the Hawke Labor government in 1985, and the GST developed for the Howard Liberal Government in 1997. Henry rejects the claim that Treasury acted improperly, saying "We rejected that charge at the time. I would always reject it. There was nothing improper in what we did." He did concede, however that "it is the case that our work was used by the Government to attack publicly an Opposition policy." In reference to the Option C modelling he had previously worked on, Henry said:

When Fightback! came out, the model the team had developed enabled the identification of a major failing in the package. Income tax bracket creep had been used to fund the package but bracket creep had not been used in the analysis of the after tax income various taxpayers would receive. Treasury was accused by the Coalition of having acted improperly.

Pre 2007 election speech
In April 2007, the Australian Financial Review's Laura Tingle ran a story about Henry's semi-annual speech to staff. In the wake of the Howard Government's development of an A$10 billion policy proposal, Henry was reported as saying that there was a 'greater than usual risk of the development of policy proposals that are, frankly, bad' in the lead-up to the federal election.' Former Howard Government ministers suggested that it was a deliberate attempt to have Henry's critical views aired publicly to the detriment of the Howard Government, and called it 'a deliberate piece of political positioning by Henry' prior to the 2007 federal election. Following the initial controversy, Henry released the full text of the speech, along with clarification. It said, in part, that:
The Government, our ministers and other agencies are under no compulsion to rely on our advice. In respect of water, that point is all too obvious. We are competing for influence with other central agencies, line agencies and independent policy advisers, such as think-tanks, commentators and consultants.... As I have noted on other occasions, I have never known the Treasurer to not welcome frank and honest advice when it is provided in-confidence and in good faith.

Bank Deposit Guarantee Scheme
Immediately prior to Henry's appearance at a Senate hearing into the Rudd Government's unlimited Bank Deposit Guarantee Scheme, an email from the Governor of the Reserve Bank of Australia, Glenn Stevens, to Henry was reported on in the media. No text was published, however the Australian newspaper alleged that the email expressed concerns of the Reserve Bank about a 'flight to safety' caused by the unlimited guarantee of deposits in Authorised Deposit-taking Institutions, and the consequent loss of liquidity in secondary credit markets. It claimed that Stevens called for a cap on the amount of a deposit guarantee '...the lower the better' and that he also said 'If this situation is allowed to continue, foreign bank branches will not be able to source funding in the local market as a flight to guaranteed deposits occurs.'

In the Senate hearing, Henry denied there had been any disagreement between Treasury and the Reserve Bank, and that the two bodies were 'of one mind' on the Bank Deposit Guarantee Scheme.  Henry said that the Opposition's claim that Mr Rudd had ignored Reserve Bank warnings was based on a report in The Australian newspaper. Dr Henry called that report unfortunate, fallacious, unhelpful, and "W-R-O-N-G"

The Reserve Bank Governor backed Henry, stating that "steps in these directions, in the context of what other countries were doing, were sensible, and the RBA supports them."

Stimulus package
Treasury, under Henry, gave advice supporting the Rudd Government's stimulus package, which was designed to lessen the size of an economic recession in Australia following the global financial crisis. The package has been described by Nobel Prize–winning economist Joseph Stiglitz as 'one of the most impressive economic policies I've seen, ever'. The stimulus package foreshadowed $42 billion in spending measures. The classical Keynesian response embodied in the stimulus package, the desire to maintain expenditure in the economy, and the desire to avoid the destruction of human capital from a recession was encapsulated in the phrase attributed to Henry:

Henry stated that the stimulus package would either reduce future Government spending or drive up taxes, but he also said that this would occur in "a period of faster growth in private sector activity and the judgment that has been made is that in those circumstances . . . the Government will have the ability to repay debt without doing damage to gross domestic product growth".

Henry provided advice to the Rudd Government that without the continuation of the stimulus package, 100,000 jobs would be lost, and GDP would reduce by 1.5 percent. No modeling was made public to support either of these contentions.  After the release of advice, Shadow Treasurer and Minister in the former Howard Government, Joe Hockey, commented that he had never seen a piece of Treasury advice so clearly designed to be released to the media.

Further, graphs were subsequently printed in the budget papers purporting to show that there was a statistically significant correlation with the size of G20 member countries' stimulus packages and their respective economic performances, however the data had been cherry picked and only 11 G20 economies had been included in the analysis.  When all G20 economies were analyzed, no correlation existed. Treasury later withdrew the graph. IMF research showed statistically significant links between the form of stimulus, and the success or otherwise of various countries through the recession.

Notwithstanding this criticism, a raft of economic advice and analysis has subsequently supported Australia's actions. The OECD's 2009 employment outlook said that while "generally have not had a strong effect in cushioning the initial decline in employment caused by the crisis...Australia is a notable exception." Australia's unemployment figures remain about 3% lower than the OECD average, and it also avoided recession throughout the GFC.

Henry's advice throughout the GFC has been characterised as "within the mainstream of economic orthodoxy". As of December 2009, Australia's unemployment rate is thought to have peaked at 5.8 percent after several months of job growth. This is much lower than previous Treasury estimates of up to 8.5 percent.

Henry Tax Review
The Australian Government released the contents of the Henry Tax Review on 2 May 2010. The review proposed changes to superannuation, a resource rent tax on the mining sector and tax reform for small businesses. The Resource Super Profits Tax (RSPT) proposed by Henry proposed to tax the super profits of mining companies.

Following criticisms of the measures proposed in the Henry Tax Review, Henry said:
Whenever an idea is ventured publicly by a person, whether that person is a policy advisor or whether it's a government minister, there's at least a handful of academics who will contest it.  I've seen it on both sides of politics - this is not a partisan comment at all - but for governments, government ministers who are seeking to get ideas legislated - it is unbelievably frustrating, incredibly frustrating. But I think there are occasions on which economists might, at least for a period, put down their weapons and join a consensus.

Henry was criticized for wanting to avoid debate of his ideas.

Resource Super Profits Tax
Ken Henry proposed a Resource Super Profits Tax (RSPT) on all mining companies' super profits. The government claimed that miners paid as little as 17 percent tax on their profits, mining companies claimed they paid 43%, but Australian Taxation Office figures indicate that "the average tax take across the mining industry is about 27 percent" with many paying much less than this.

During negotiations with mining companies, Henry advised that the initial estimates of A$12 billion had been revised up to A$24 billion due to higher commodity price estimates in the two months since the release of the initial RSPT proposal.

Post-Treasury career

Special Adviser to the Prime Minister
On 1 June 2011, Prime Minister Julia Gillard announced Henry had been appointed by the Governor General as a Special Adviser on a part-time basis in her portfolio. He was directly appointed by the Governor General under section 67 of the Constitution of Australia, and outside the Public Service Act 1999.

"Australia in the Asian Century"
Henry led the writing of a White Paper on the topic "Australia in the Asian Century", publicly released in mid-2012. He was assisted by Professor Peter Drysdale, Catherine Livingstone, Chair of Telstra, and John Denton, CEO of Corrs Chambers Westgarth. Dr Gordon de Brouwer, Dr David Gruen, Deputy Secretary of the Department of the Treasury and Dr Heather Smith, Deputy Secretary of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade form a Secretariat.

National Australia Bank
Henry was appointed as an executive director of the National Australia Bank (NAB) in 2011; and in 2015 was appointed as Chairman. Under Henry, NAB received the largest ever vote of 88.1 percent against its remuneration report.

Appearing before the Royal Commission into Misconduct in the Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry in November 2018, Henry was defensive, with some tense exchanges with Counsel Assisting, Rowena Orr. In his final report, Royal Commissioner The Honourable Justice Kenneth Hayne  singled out Henry and NAB for particular criticism:

On 5 February 2019, NAB announced to the ASX that Henry acknowledged the Commissioner's comments and he seemed unwilling to accept criticism. He denied that this was the case. Two days later Henry announced that he would resign as chairman after overseeing the selection of his replacement.

Other
Henry was also appointed a director of the board of the Australian Securities Exchange in January 2013. He is chair of the Sir Roland Wilson Foundation Board at the Australian National University.

Henry is the part-time Executive Chair of the Australian National University's new Institute of Public Policy; and chair of the SMART Infrastructure Facility Advisory Council at the University of Wollongong.

Activism
In 2011, Henry joined the council of Voiceless, the animal protection institute.  "There are few pursuits more noble in life than giving voice to those who would otherwise suffer in silence." He proudly proclaims his rural upbringing around Taree as contributing to his early realisation about the value of conservation and animal rights. He has a specific interest in the preservation of the endangered Hairy-nosed wombat.

Awards and honours
In 2007 Henry was appointed a Companion of the Order of Australia for service to the development and implementation of economic and taxation policy, to the finance sector through a range of banking and regulatory bodies, and to the community in the area of welfare and care of native wildlife, and received the Centenary Medal in 2001.

TerraMaster's D5 represents a significant step forward for this Noontec subsidiary. Offering everything missing in previous models, and boasting speeds of up to 1035 MB/S, the D5 is aiming for the professional storage market.
Let's see if this RAID box is worth the $800 price.
The D5 looks almost identical to the D5-300C, with the addition of a chunky carrying handle on the top. It uses the same TerraMaster drive bays you may know and love, and even uses the same buttons, chassis, and lights.
Now that's a lot of features! The dual Thunderbolt 3 interfaces Thunderbolt 3: What It Is & Why You Need to Start Using It Thunderbolt 3: What It Is & Why You Need to Start Using It Thunderbolt 3 may just be the only device cable you need to know about anymore. It's so awesome that it's making everything else obsolete. Here's what you need to know. Read More allow you to daisy-chain other Thunderbolt devices, while the DisplayPort is able to drive a 4K display such as the BenQ EW3270U. With a maximum capacity of 60TB, you won't be running out of storage space anytime soon, but if you do, the alternative D8 is an eight-bay variation.
The D4 is a cheaper four-bay version, but we think the D5 represents an excellent balance between capacity and affordability.
If you choose to use mechanical drives instead of SSDs, you can install an optional SSD as a flash cache. This is a great idea and as an excellent way to boost the speed of your array.
Automatic RAID rebuilding, hot swapping, hot standby, and bad sector remapping are all pro features that you may not need right now, but to see features like these on a consumer level device is a welcome change.
Seeing so many features included in a model from TerraMaster is a welcome change. Previous models have provided good to excellent performance, but have sometimes been lacking in features. If TerraMaster will continue to build upon this solid foundation, they could soon become a household name.
Inside the box, you'll find the D5 alongside a power supply, mounting screws, tools, stickers, and a 1-meter long Thunderbolt 3 cable rated to20-Gbps. This cable is a strange choice, given that Thunderbolt 3 can run at 40-Gbps. While you're unlikely to ever saturate a 20-Gbps cable right now, it's something that has the potential to limit your connection speed in the future.
It would have been nice to see a full-speed Thunderbolt 3 cable in the box, especially given the price.
If you install SSDs into the D5, you won't experience any vibrations, and you'll encounter very little noise. Noise and vibrations do increase with mechanical drives, but the fans do an excellent job at cooling the drives without excess noise, heat, or vibrations.
A price of $800 is enough to make you think twice about purchasing the D5, especially when it doesn't include any drives! While this price may seem high, it's about equal with other Thunderbolt 3 RAIDs. When you look at the speeds the D5 is capable of, along with its huge spec sheet, it almost seems like a bargain.
RAID management is carried out through TerraMaster's Raid Manager Pro software. This can be hard to find on TerraMaster's sometimes cryptic website, but it generally works well once installed.
A RAID driver is available alongside Raid Manager Pro. Windows and Mac OS downloads are available, but Linux is not supported. If you're running Windows, you can run the .exe file, but it's much more complicated to install on Mac OS.
You don't need a degree in computer science to run this program on a Mac—but it helps! There's no installer. Instead, you'll need run the build script, or execute a series of commands via the Terminal. This is unacceptable for a modern software package and feels like you're contributing to an Open-Source software package, instead of installing a RAID manager.
The D5 has got it where it counts, and it can deliver on its claimed speeds when writing data and comes pretty close when reading. For our testing, Kingston sent us five of their 480Gb UV500 SSDs. Capable of transferring data at 520 MB/s for reads, and 500 MB/s for writes, and with excellent hardware encryption, and reliability, the UV500 series SSDs are the perfect match for this Thunderbolt RAID.
With five UV500s configured as a RAID 0 array, the speeds you can achieve are quite stunning. We were able to achieve 977 MB/s read and 770 MB/s write. This may not sound great considering the speed each individual SSD is capable of, but there is still some logic involved with RAID arrays, and speeds approaching 1 GB/s are excellent, especially for an external drive.
As RAID 0 provides no fault tolerance, and SSDs are decreasing in price daily, it would be a costly process to build a huge capacity RAID with only SSDs.
For a more traditional test and a fault tolerant system, we installed four 4TB Seagate HDDs and configured a RAID 10 array. Mechanical HDDs spinning at 7200 RPM are much slower than SSDs, but you do gain a slight performance boost from the RAID alongside redundancy and fault tolerance.
With 16TB configured as RAID 10, the total available storage is 8TB. The D5 achieved very respectable 444 MB/s read, and 439 MB/s write speeds. This is excellent and almost starts to approach the speed of a single SSD. Considering the price and storage capacity of traditional HDDs, RAID 10 provides the best compromise between storage space, speed, and reliability.
Not sure on the different RAID types? Our RAID explained What Is RAID Storage & Can I Use It On My Home PC? [Technology Explained] What Is RAID Storage & Can I Use It On My Home PC? [Technology Explained] RAID is an acronym for Redundant Array of Independent Disks, and it's a core feature of server hardware that ensures data integrity. It's also just a fancy word for two or more hard disks connected... Read More guide may clear things up.
As the D5 can use the full 40 GB/s provided by Thunderbolt 3, it's possible to run a 4K monitor, transfer data through the whole raid, and daisy-chain up to seven devices. Whether that's worth the cost of admission is up to you—we think it is.
The D5 Thunderbolt 3 is an expensive choice, but it's worth it if you need the speed or capacity it offers. Basic home users may want to look elsewhere for cheaper options, but for the working professional, up-and-coming YouTuber, or redundant storage fan, the D5 is an excellent choice. When compared to the price of similar Thunderbolt 3 devices, the D5 comes up as one of the cheaper options.
Let down by the troublesome Mac software installation, the D5 follows TerraMaster's tried-and-tested hardware design, along with a huge number of premium features.

For $US799 I would buy a standalone NAS from Synology instead and possibly get more drive bays as well.
Nice. Purchasing? Maybe early in the New Year after the Christmas fund suckage has passed.
Not even saturating a t2 connection, what's the point of t3 on this? The software is basic highpoint, newtech, owc clone stuff so no excuse for not having an osx install. Any drive with 4 bays SSD in raid0 will trounce this. Why the glowing review? Ffs, spinning drives in raid to USB 3,1 gen2 tops this!

The real time accounting (or on the fly) over Ethernet has been designed to emit tickets towards an external accounting application. These tickets can be masked on the level of the number emitted according to the type of communication (normal, business and personal). The type of tickets (public, private, outgoing, incoming and so on) can be filtered. The format of the tickets is identical to that of the tickets stored in compressed form (/usr4/account/*.DAT).
IMPORTANT: The use of the real time accounting is exclusive: the selection of the tickets via Ethernet prohibits the use of the output of the tickets on V24 interface and vice-versa.

Q: Can I set up BTHub-3 to share internet connection when connected to Laptop that uses Wifi via LAN (dhcp not enabled for wifi) I have BT-Hub3, UTF-45 cable and Laptop that runs on Windows 10. My goal is to share wifi connection from laptop to all other devices (another laptop, ipads and mobile phones) by Connecting BT-Hub3 with Lan cable and feeding the wifi connection from laptop to share to all devices.
Current set up is following: Laptop is connected to local wifi hotspot (that I have no control over) and laptop physically connected via Lan to BTHub-3 into 'BT-infinity' port (that sits next to ADSL), I have shared this connection.

I expected for this to just work, however the moment I enabled share, I had lost Wifi connection on laptop and when troubleshooting, the error was dhcp not enabled for wifi, which then got fixed by Windows 10 troubleshooter and wifi internet started working again on laptop.
Can I set up BTHub-3 to share internet connection that is provided via LAN  connected to Laptop that has Wifi internet ?

With Advent having begun this weekend, I thought it would be of interest to show some further "varieties of violcaea" (violet) just as we did a year ago. Each of these examples comes from BeWeb and are from the 18th century. It is. of course. the case that each century brings to its own vestments the particular fashions and styles of its time. While the 19th century was heavily reliant on brocades and damasks of gold set against other colours for example, the 18th century was often characterized by pastels and coloured floral patterns. The variety found within the 18th century is one of the reasons why I find it particularly of interest.
Here then are just a few more historical examples of violet vestments founded within the 1700's. Enjoy.

Wandering around Lisbon and its suburbs during my most recent visit, the more I saw, the more I wanted to see.
And the more I was sold.
The opportunities for real estate investment in central Lisbon right now are many, varied, and compelling. This is a big area made up of many distinct neighborhoods.
The heart of downtown and a key tourist zone is the area inland from the Praça do Comércio. Just west of here is Chiado, a high-end neighborhood. Baixa is a commercial district with shop-lined streets. Kathleen and I particularly enjoyed the area around Jardim do Principe Real, which we found charming, a place we could see ourselves spending time long-term.
Again, distinct neighborhoods, each with its own look, feel, and character, but all interesting as locations for investment in short-term tourist rentals. Some of these neighborhoods could also make sense for long-term rentals for the local market.
One friend suggested Campo de Ourique for long-term rentals to locals. He likes this area because he predicts it will see better-than-average appreciation of values over the next few years. Another colleague suggested Alcântara, an area that is enjoying focused rejuvenation and renovation, as a place to look for "early-in" opportunities.
Farther west along the coast outside Lisbon is Oeiras, another good location, we've been advised by a local contact, for a short- or long-term rental investment or, in particular, a rental property intended for student rentals. This market, he tells us, is about to expand dramatically as one of the city's biggest universities relocates here.
In fact, several areas in and around the city make sense for student rentals. One interesting thing about a student rental is that it means you have the opportunity to earn rental income during two distinct seasons. Students go home in summer… which is the high season for short-term tourist rentals. Pick the right location and you could tap into both markets and improve your yields substantially.
So many areas of opportunity mean that your challenge as a property investor is narrowing your search zone.
One thing that can help fine-tune your search is budget. Per-square-meter prices in Lisbon range from a low of 1,500 euros to as much as 7,000 euros.
This means a 50-square-meter apartment in one of the lowest-cost neighborhoods can sell for 75,000 euros… whereas the same size apartment in Chiado, for example, would cost more than four times as much, or, say, 350,000 euros.
A reasonable budget would start at the 200,000 euro mark for a good sized two-bedroom apartment that would work for short-term rental.
Some areas of Lisbon have seen appreciation of as much as 20% in the last year. If you're looking for a great value, focus on areas outside the "best" neighborhoods—though it is still possible to find a decent renovation project for a great undervalued price even in those top districts. I don't think this will be true for too much longer. The market continues to build momentum, and inventory is moving.
A good rental yield in the current market is in the range of 5% to 8% net, but appreciation should add nicely to this return over the next couple of years… again, buying outside the highest-end areas.
Lisbon has a lot to offer the visitor but hasn't historically been a major tourist destination compared with other European capitals. This appears to be changing. Tourism was up for Portugal in general in 2016 for the sixth consecutive year, exceeding 10 million visitors for the first time in the country's history. Lisbon, too, specifically, saw record numbers of tourists last year—more than 3 million.
With parks, gardens, museums, palaces, significant architectural landmarks, the river, the ocean, and all that history, Lisbon should be on everyone's Grand Tour list. All those amenities also make this city a great option for living, which is why it is attracting more and more expats and retirees, not only from the U.K., whose pensioners have recognized the appeals for decades, but also from across Europe and increasingly from across the world, including China and, most recently, North America.
We're doing our bit to help out on that last front.
Compared with other West European capitals, including Paris, London, Madrid, Dublin, and Rome, Lisbon offers generally better weather, better property prices, and a lower cost of living.
I'm still getting my bearings, but I will be making an investment in this market as soon as I identify the right opportunity. If you're interested in the Old World, I suggest you consider doing the same.
Don't let the volume of opportunity dissuade you. The upside potential is excellent, both short- and long-term, and the time spent researching your options will be extremely enjoyable.

Long haul share shrinks, automation grows: Volvo
SHIPPENSBURG, PA – Volvo Trucks North America sees long haulers accounting for a shrinking portion of the truck market, as the industry responds to pressures including a driver shortage and recent upgrades to the Panama Canal.
Magnus Koeck, vice president – marketing and brand management, says that share has dropped to about 43% of the marketplace compared to 50% last year. In contrast, regional haulers account for about 35% of the market as more freight is regionalized, he said during a briefing for industry media, adding the impact will be "proportionally a little larger" in the U.S. than Canada.
The recently opened $5.4-billion upgrade to the canal will also allow the passage of neo-Panamax ships, which can carry 14,000 containers at a time. Many U.S. ports along the east coast of the U.S. are already expanding to accommodate them.
It isn't the only shift he expects. Koeck also said that manual transmissions will completely give way to automation in just five years. Volvo has certainly seen a widespread adoption of its I-Shift Automated Manual Transmission, which is now spec'd in 88.8% of its trucks.
While vehicle dynamics are changing, the North American market itself continues to struggle when compared to the near-record sales of 2015. Volvo expects 250,000 Class 8 trucks to be sold this year. Blame factors including large inventories at dealerships, created when manufacturers continued to produce high volumes of equipment even as the market began to slump.
"It will be tough to get the market going when we have so much inventory at the dealers," he said.
Low diesel prices, meanwhile, continue to slow the acceptance of natural gas as a vehicle fuel, he added, noting how it is now powering about 2% of trucks.
Construction-related business continues to increase, though, and recent upgrades to the Volvo powertrain will be positioned to take advantage of that.
"We're really targeting opportunities for Volvo to grow in the vocational marketplace," said Wade Long, director – product marketing. "We're bringing in fuel-efficiency for a market that was just focused on getting to the top of the hill first."
New versions of the I-Shift transmissions that come with crawler gears, for example, will open the spec'ing option to heavy haulers who pull up to 220,000 pounds. The ability to move at as little as 0.6 miles per hour also allows the transmission to be used to support tasks such as pouring curbs.
Orders for the crawler gears are accepted now, while production begins in October.
Production of upgraded D11 and D16 engines begins in January, while a D13 with turbo compounding begins production in mid-2017.

Q: Fancy name generator in node.js Is there a fancy name generator in nodejs to create names like heroku does for creating applications ?
I'm thinking of names like "yellow_birds", "beautifull_summer" and stuff like that.
Otherwise, are there any dictionnary to pickup cool words ?

A: Not specific to node, but I've found the following haiku generator here. You could adapt it the following way:
function haiku(){
  var adjs = ["autumn", "hidden", "bitter", "misty", "silent", "empty", "dry",
  "dark", "summer", "icy", "delicate", "quiet", "white", "cool", "spring",
  "winter", "patient", "twilight", "dawn", "crimson", "wispy", "weathered",
  "blue", "billowing", "broken", "cold", "damp", "falling", "frosty", "green",
  "long", "late", "lingering", "bold", "little", "morning", "muddy", "old",
  "red", "rough", "still", "small", "sparkling", "throbbing", "shy",
  "wandering", "withered", "wild", "black", "young", "holy", "solitary",
  "fragrant", "aged", "snowy", "proud", "floral", "restless", "divine",
  "polished", "ancient", "purple", "lively", "nameless"]

  , nouns = ["waterfall", "river", "breeze", "moon", "rain", "wind", "sea",
  "morning", "snow", "lake", "sunset", "pine", "shadow", "leaf", "dawn",
  "glitter", "forest", "hill", "cloud", "meadow", "sun", "glade", "bird",
  "brook", "butterfly", "bush", "dew", "dust", "field", "fire", "flower",
  "firefly", "feather", "grass", "haze", "mountain", "night", "pond",
  "darkness", "snowflake", "silence", "sound", "sky", "shape", "surf",
  "thunder", "violet", "water", "wildflower", "wave", "water", "resonance",
  "sun", "wood", "dream", "cherry", "tree", "fog", "frost", "voice", "paper",
  "frog", "smoke", "star"];

  return adjs[Math.floor(Math.random()*(adjs.length-1))]+"_"+nouns[Math.floor(Math.random()*(nouns.length-1))];
}

The majority of companies and products I've gotten to review this year have been education and homeschooling related. Today, while this absolutely fits in with a homeschooling lifestyle, my review is for any person in need of a quick meal and a better plan for those days with NO time! MyFreezEasy has combined the art of meal planning with freezer meals to create custom meal options for your family. They offer multiple membership options, but what I'm reviewing today is the MyFreezEasy.com Freezer Meal Plan Membership - the Premium Annual option.
As you can see in the graphic below, right from the start you have several different options to choose from in the various meal plans that changes every month. Freezer meals aren't exactly a new idea, but sometimes the meal prep can take a huge chunk out of your week, even if it is on Sunday night. One of MyFreezEasy's goals is to provide something easier than spending an hour preparing food each night because some nights that is just an impossibility! All of their recipes are family tested and require minimal preparation time. Just today I prepared tonight's dinner for the crock pot as well as a full meal for the freezer in about 15 minutes.
-Assembly instructions including how to prep and in what order.
This past couple of months I've struggled with morning sickness and my house manager role really suffered. One of the biggest areas was cooking. The most efficient way to tackle MyFreezEasy is to purchase all the necessary ingredients and then spend an hour combining several different meals to put in the freezer. Over the next month, you'll have plenty of options when time is just not on your side! An alternative to that, and what I ended up doing, was pick a meal for dinner first thing in the morning and then create two meals, one for the freezer and one for dinner that night. This method stocked my freezer too, just at a slower pace. There are also options with how you physically plan meals like what meals are included, different printing options of recipes, labels, assembly instructions, and shopping lists. You can use all or none of these. You can spend a day and then not think about it again until next month or spread it out as you have time. That's the best selling point for me is that there are options and no one way to do it!
Like any new plan or program, at first sight there are quite a few papers you could print out and finding what you want can take a little bit at first. Once you are familiar with the layout and your needs verses what is available, MyFreezEasy is a slam dunk. There are plenty of recipes to choose from each month and I've already gathered a couple of favorites to use again next month. The time invested is not that much, but provides a great dividend of doable and yummy dinners that you didn't have to slave over! And then when you consider cost - less than $10 a month (when you buy a year's subscription) - I can confidently say this is a great idea to consider for your family!


3 awesome ladies who have cooked for US presidents, and ME!
one of the most awesome, humbling & surprising things that i've experienced since opening NIGHT+MARKET a little under two years ago is that other chefs seem to enjoy hanging out and eating at our little restaurant. for those who don't know the story, here's the short version: it was never meant to be an actual restaurant. i took over the space to keep this pub from opening next door to my family's restaurant. more neighbors, more drama. i had little in the way of an idea for what i'd actually do with the space. while it was still empty, i started having impromptu dinner parties for friends where i'd cook the sort of thai hick food that we're serving now. one night, after 5 bottles of wine, i thought to myself, 'why not just do this for the public?' and here we are.


OTTAWA, ONTARIO — July 14, 2015 – Shopify Inc. ("Shopify") (NYSE: SHOP, TSX: SH), — a leading cloud-based commerce platform, today announced the winners of its Build a Business Competition. Over the course of eight months, tens of thousands of new businesses were created, generating over 4 million orders, and resulting in more than $250 million in sales. This year's products ranged from a GPS-enabled suitcase, to a wearable that zaps users to reduce bad habits, to an innovative mattress.
To be eligible in the Build a Business Competition, entrepreneurs had to start an entirely new company and sell their products using the Shopify platform. The contest ran from October 1, 2014 to May 31, 2015, and at the end of the competition, the top six stores that sold the most, over a two-month period were named the winners. The grand prize includes a trip on a private jet to Necker Island, to spend five days of mentorship with some of the biggest entrepreneurs in the world, including Sir Richard Branson, Daymond John, Tim Ferriss, Marie Forleo and Seth Godin.
Leesa: David Wolfe's goal was to tap into the lucrative mattress industry by creating a high quality but affordable mattress that could get shipped directly to the consumer. Leesa is just that — a luxury mattress for under $1,000.
Trunkster: After living out of their suitcases while travelling for business, Jesse Potash and Gaston Blanchet had an idea for a piece of luggage that was zipperless, with a built-in GPS, scale, and mobile charger. After raising $1.4 million through a Kickstarter campaign, Trunkster was born.
Shore Projects: Based in London, England, Shore Projects was founded by three serial entrepreneurs who had never designed, manufactured and sold a product before. Taking influence from the British seaside, they chose to create a watch that was a timeless, quality product that could be worn every day.
PAVLOK: After experimenting with various ways to increase productivity, Maneesh Sethi realized that there were dozens of wearables tracking behavior but not one that actually changed behavior. Based on the work of psychologist Ivan Pavlov and 80+ years of clinical research, Sethi created PAVLOK, a wearable that uses classical conditioning to break bad habits. Customers have used PAVLOK to quit smoking, nail biting, overeating, drinking, thinking negative thoughts, and more.
Little Letter Lights Co.: Based out of Adelaide, Australia, Lucy Nourse and her husband Rob wanted to start a business so that she could spend more time with their kids by working from home. She knew she wanted a product for children that was unique, safe, and affordable so she created her letter lights.
Coco White: Based out of London, England, Jonny Teeling and Will Peirce were looking to start a new business venture. They honed in on two key trends: the desire for an all natural teeth whitening product, and the concept of oil pulling. After drawing up some unique packaging designs and testing out different prices, Coco White was ready for market.

The Nature Conservancy of Canada's (NCC's) on-the-ground work is led by a team of conservation science professionals who work to identify, plan and execute the protection of the best of Canada's natural spaces and manage and restore them for the long term. This process ensures that our conservation actions (like buying land, removing invasive weeds or mapping the location of rare species) are efficient and effective.
First, we identify where we should work, the species and habitats we want to protect, their health and the threats to them.
Next, we identify what we need to do to reduce the threats to those species and habitats and improve their overall health.
We then implement these strategies, both on our own and with partners.
We assess how effective our actions are, whether they are improving the health of the species and habitats we want to protect and reducing the threats to them.
This leads to a reassessment of our priorities, strategies and actions, and we begin the process again.
