Possible Outcomes: A Typical Post-War Recovery, or a Perfect Storm
As of last week, the S&P 500 was priced to achieve an estimated average annual total return of just 5.83% over the coming decade, based on our standard methodology. Prior to 1995, the lowest implied 10-year total returns priced into the S&P 500 in post-war data were:
November 1961: Implied 10-year total return 6.26%.
Actual 10-year subsequent return 6.16%
October 1965: Implied 10-year total return 5.89%.
August 1987: Implied 10-year total return 6.29%.
Actual 10-year subsequent return 13.85%.
Note that in the 1987 case, the unusually strong 10-year return reflects a move to the extreme bubble valuations in the late 1990's, which have in turn been followed by 13 years of market returns below Treasury bill yields. Once the market becomes overvalued, further gains are ultimately paid for by a period of sorry returns later. To expect normal or above-average long-term returns from current prices is to rely on the market bailing out the rich overvaluation of today with extreme bubble valuations down the road.
While investors can hope that today is similar to August 1987, a moment's reflection about the market crash that occurred shortly after August 1987 might dampen that hope a bit, particularly because that instance also featured overbought, overbullish and rising-yield conditions.
As I emphasized last week, even if we had no concern at all about a second wave of credit strains, we would still be fully hedged here based on the present combination of rich valuations, overbought conditions, overbullish sentiment, and hostile yield pressures. Presently, we are also at the peak of concern about the potential for fresh credit difficulties to emerge, as we move into the first portion of the Alt-A / Option ARM reset schedule.
We will respond to the data as it emerges. This allows several possibilities. In my view, the most likely outcome is that we will indeed observe serious credit strains in the months ahead. That possibility adds to an already unfavorable syndrome of overextended market conditions, and this mix of factors courts a great deal of potential risk. The CBOE volatility index - a measure of expected market volatility - dropped below 17 last week, while mutual fund cash levels have dropped to a historic low (and are depressed even after adjusting for the low level of interest rates). Given the extreme complacency of investors here, we may have the elements of a perfect storm.
Alternatively, if we do not encounter fresh credit strains in the coming months, we will gradually apply increasing weight to the "normal post-war" dataset, so that by year-end we will be operating entirely on that basis. Even here, that means that if we were to experience a market correction or yield reversal sufficient to clear the current overvalued/overbought/overbullish/yield-pressure syndrome without a material deterioration in market internals, we would expect to remove a moderate portion of our hedges.
Regardless of whether we view the market within the framework provided by past credit crises in the U.S. and internationally, or we instead view the market within the framework of a typical post-war recovery in which further credit risks have been bailed out and eliminated, the present configuration of evidence holds us to a defensive stance.
On the subject of record low cash levels in equity funds, juxtaposed against a seeming mountain of "cash sitting on the sidelines" in money market funds, I should note that cash levels in equity funds are a sentiment indicator, not a liquidity indicator. See, in the equity market, every share of stock that has been issued must be held by someone. The only question is whether the shares are held by individual investors, hedge funds, pensions, mutual funds, or another entity. To the extent that mutual funds buy stock, some other holder must sell that stock. Somebody has to own it in any case, and it is simply not true that money "flows" between "cash" and "stocks" as if water is being poured from one cup to another. Every share of stock has to be held by someone, as must every debt security issued. Only the holders change. So mutual fund cash is not a measure of potential money available to "flow" into stocks. The shares that the mutual fund might buy are already held by someone, and the cash that the mutual fund might dispose of must also be held by someone. Depressed levels of mutual fund cash are a specific reflection of bullish sentiment among mutual fund managers as a group.
At the same time, what is counted as cash on the sidelines, whether in money market funds, or as tiny balances in equity funds, is nothing but a mountain of short-term debt securities, mostly Treasury bills, that have been issued and must be held by somebody until they are retired. To the extent that a particular investor wishes to dispose of this "cash on the sidelines," another investor must be found to hold it, and it will remain counted as cash on the sidelines. At present, more than one-third of the publicly held float in Treasury debt is financed at maturities of less than a year and at yields well below 1%. Between the refinancing of existing debt and new deficits, the Treasury will have to issue about $3.5 trillion in debt this year. What is not a problem in an environment of credit concerns (where there is a great deal of demand for default-free securities) will become a major hurdle down the road. The rollover financing and interest costs of this debt will begin to create fiscal stress at the point where yields rise even moderately.
As challenging as the "two data sets" uncertainty has been over the past year, this is not uncertainty that will persist indefinitely. The coming months will help to better define the framework within which we set our analysis. I am not at all convinced that the satisfaction of the markets in recent quarters will prove to be durable, and suspect that we'll observe an excruciating bout of inflation beginning in the second half of the decade. But that is a longer-term concern. The primary uncertainty here relates to whether or not the recent easing of credit difficulties will prove to be durable, or simply a temporary lull. We will obtain a significant amount of clarity over the coming months.
As of last week, the Market Climate for stocks remained characterized by strenuous overvaluation, overbought conditions, overbullish sentiment, and hostile yield pressures. The Strategic Growth Fund remains fully hedged, with the same "staggered strike" position we had at the 2007 peak, which strengthens our defense against potential market losses by raising the strike prices of our defensive put options, at a cost of just over 1% of assets in additional put premium (which is relatively inexpensive with the CBOE volatility index currently at about 17).
In bonds, the Strategic Total Return Fund continues to carry an average duration of about 4 years, primarily in straight Treasuries of 10-year maturity and shorter. While I would expect downward pressure on Treasury yields in the event of fresh credit strains, we are not inclined to increase our portfolio duration until (unless) we observe a spike in the 10-year yield toward 4% or higher. Presently, even a 4 year duration is a sufficient amount of interest-rate exposure given the still relatively low profile of yields.
On a final note, a shareholder kindly forwarded me a video link in response to last week's market comment. It features the band OK Go with an amazing Rube Goldberg machine put together by Mindshare, a community of students and engineers. It's worth watching.

AnalysisGenealogical claims often made for important ancient leaders
Jesus may not have been born in Bethlehem. Here's why
Gospels conflict on location of his birth; belief may have caught on because the Christian messiah is supposed to be descended from King David, as Jesus was, and born in the city
By Rodolfo Galvan Estrada III	16 December 2020, 10:57 am 18 Edit

THE CONVERSATION via AP — Every Christmas, a relatively small town in the West Bank comes center stage: Bethlehem. Jesus, according to some Christian biblical sources, was born in this town some two millennia ago.
Yet the New Testament Gospels do not agree about the details of Jesus' birth in Bethlehem. Some do not mention Bethlehem or Jesus' birth at all.
The Gospels' different views might be hard to reconcile. But as a scholar of the New Testament, what I argue is that the Gospels offer an important insight into the Greco-Roman views of ethnic identity, including genealogies.
Today, genealogies may bring more awareness of one's family medical history or help uncover lost family members. In the Greco-Roman era, birth stories and genealogical claims were used to establish rights to rule and link individuals with purported ancestral grandeur.
According to the Gospel of Matthew, the first Gospel in the canon of the New Testament, Joseph and Mary were in Bethlehem when Jesus was born. The story begins with wise men who come to the city of Jerusalem after seeing a star that they interpreted as signaling the birth of a new king.
It goes on to describe their meeting with the local Jewish king named Herod, of whom they inquire about the location of Jesus' birth. The Gospel says that the star of Bethlehem subsequently leads them to a house – not a manger – where Jesus has been born to Joseph and Mary. Overjoyed, they worship Jesus and present gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. These were valuable gifts, especially frankincense and myrrh, which were costly fragrances that had medicinal use.
The Gospel explains that after their visit, Joseph has a dream where he is warned of Herod's attempt to kill baby Jesus. When the wise men went to Herod with the news that a child had been born to be the king of the Jews, he made a plan to kill all young children to remove the threat to his throne. It then mentions how Joseph, Mary and infant Jesus leave for Egypt to escape King Herod's attempt to assassinate all young children.
Matthew also says that after Herod dies from an illness, Joseph, Mary and Jesus do not return to Bethlehem. Instead, they travel north to Nazareth in the Galilee, which is modern-day Nazareth in Israel.

The Gospel of Luke, an account of Jesus' life that was written during the same period as the Gospel of Matthew, has a different version of Jesus' birth. The Gospel of Luke starts with Joseph and a pregnant Mary in the Galilee. They journey to Bethlehem in response to a census that the Roman emperor Caesar Augustus required for all the Jewish people. Since Joseph was a descendant of King David, Bethlehem was the hometown where he was required to register.
The Gospel of Luke includes no flight to Egypt, no paranoid King Herod, no murder of children and no wise men visiting baby Jesus. Jesus is born in a manger because all the travelers overcrowded the guestrooms. After the birth, Joseph and Mary are visited not by wise men but shepherds, who were also overjoyed at Jesus' birth.
Luke says these shepherds were notified about Jesus' location in Bethlehem by angels. There is no guiding star in Luke's story, nor do the shepherds bring gifts to baby Jesus. Luke also mentions that Joseph, Mary and Jesus leave Bethlehem eight days after his birth and travel to Jerusalem and then to Nazareth.
The differences between Matthew and Luke are nearly impossible to reconcile, although they do share some similarities. John Meier, a scholar on the historical Jesus, explains that Jesus' "birth at Bethlehem is to be taken not as a historical fact" but as a "theological affirmation put into the form of an apparently historical narrative." In other words, the belief that Jesus was a descendant of King David led to the development of a story about Jesus' birth in Bethlehem.
Raymond Brown, another scholar on the Gospels, also states that "the two narratives are not only different – they are contrary to each other in a number of details."
Mark's and John's Gospels
What makes it more difficult is that neither the other Gospels, that of Mark and John, mentions Jesus' birth or his connection to Bethlehem.
The Gospel of Mark is the earliest account of Jesus' life, written around 60 AD. The opening chapter of Mark says that Jesus is from "Nazareth of Galilee." This is repeated throughout the Gospel on several occasions, and Bethlehem is never mentioned.
A blind beggar in the Gospel of Mark describes Jesus as both from Nazareth and the son of David, the second king of Israel and Judea during 1010-970 BC. But King David was not born in Nazareth, nor associated with that city. He was from Bethlehem. Yet Mark doesn't identify Jesus with the city Bethlehem.

The Gospel of John, written approximately 15 to 20 years after that of Mark, also does not associate Jesus with Bethlehem. The Galilee is Jesus' homeplace. Jesus finds his first disciples, does several miracles and has brothers in the Galilee.
This is not to say that John was unaware of Bethlehem's significance. John mentions a debate where some Jewish people referred to the prophecy which claimed that the messiah would be a descendant of David and come from Bethlehem. But Jesus according to John's Gospel is never associated with Bethlehem, but with the Galilee, and more specifically, Nazareth.
The Gospels of Mark and John reveal that they either had trouble linking Bethlehem with Jesus, did not know his birthplace, or were not concerned with this city.
These were not the only ones. Apostle Paul, who wrote the earliest documents of the New Testament, considered Jesus a descendant of David but does not associate him with Bethlehem. The Book of Revelation also affirms that Jesus was a descendant of David but does not mention Bethlehem.

An ethnic identity
During the period of Jesus' life, there were multiple perspectives on the Messiah. In one stream of Jewish thought, the Messiah was expected to be an everlasting ruler from the lineage of David. Other Jewish texts, such as the book 4 Ezra, written in the same century as the Gospels, and the Jewish sectarian Qumran literature, which is written two centuries earlier, also echo this belief.
But within the Hebrew Bible, a prophetic book called Micah, thought to be written around 722 BC, prophesies that the Messiah would come from David's hometown, Bethlehem. This text is repeated in Matthew's version. Luke mentions that Jesus is not only genealogically connected to King David, but also born in Bethlehem, "the city of David."
Genealogical claims were made for important ancient founders and political leaders. For example, Ion, the founder of the Greek colonies in Asia, was considered to be a descendant of Apollo. Alexander the Great, whose empire reached from Macedonia to India, was claimed to be a son of Hercules. Caesar Augustus, who was the first Roman emperor, was proclaimed as a descendant of Apollo. And a Jewish writer named Philo who lived in the first century wrote that Abraham and the Jewish priest and prophets were born of God.
Regardless of whether these claims were accepted at the time to be true, they shaped a person's ethnic identity, political status and claims to honor. As the Greek historian Polybius explains, the renowned deeds of ancestors are "part of the heritage of posterity."
Matthew and Luke's inclusion of the city of Bethlehem contributed to the claim that Jesus was the Messiah from a Davidic lineage. They made sure that readers were aware of Jesus' genealogical connection to King David with the mention of this city. Birth stories in Bethlehem solidified the claim that Jesus was a rightful descendant of King David.
So today, when the importance of Bethlehem is heard in Christmas carols or displayed in Nativity scenes, the name of the town connects Jesus to an ancestral lineage and the prophetic hope for a new leader like King David.

The finishing touches are being put in place for the inaugural Run with the Wind Ararat event – the first running festival to be held inside a wind farm in Victoria.
To be held at the Ararat Wind Farm on November 25, 2018, the event will feature distances of five and 10 kilometres, as well as the gruelling half marathon.
Ararat Rural City Council is hosting the event in conjunction with 100% Events.
Ararat Rural City Council Mayor, Cr Peter Beales said those participating in the festival will have access to unprecedented views of the surrounding region.
"The event will be the first of its kind in Victoria, and among these hills the course is set out on is some of the best views of Ararat, Mount Cole, Langi Ghiran and the Grampians," he said.
Cr Beales said Ararat Rural City Council staff had been working closely with 100% Events for the past 12 months to make sure Run with the Wind Ararat was a success.
"This group operates running festivals all over the country and first visited this site in mid-2017 and were thrilled with what we had to offer," he said.
"Council's Economic Development and Tourism team has assisted 100% Events in liaising with the Ararat Wind Farm and land owner to ensure everyone was comfortable with this large event.
The Ararat Lions Club will be running a barbeque to feed all the hungry participants on the day, while local community groups will be offering support by volunteering in a number of roles throughout the course.
Cr Beales said Council has focused on creating a weekend of events to capitallise on the expected boost in visitor numbers across a number of days.
"Those participants travelling to the event have been encouraged to stay one to two or more nights to visit and explore Ararat and the region," he said.
"There are lots of different things happening across the Ararat Rural City on the weekend from the Elmhurst Bush Market to an outdoor cinema to Ararat parkrun which is sure to be busy.
Registrations for Run with the Wind Ararat remain open, visit www.runwiththewindararat.com.au or for more information on events across the weekend visit www.ararat.vic.gov.au.


Pretty staggering. That's how Luke Combs sums up his past year.
His debut single "Hurricane" is only two years old, so he fits perfectly into the new artist category at Wednesday's (Nov. 14) 52nd annual CMA Awards. And yet, with all of four of his singles released from that first album shooting to the top of the charts, Combs is also poised to take home the male vocalist of the year CMA Award, too.
When he looks back at everything that's happened for him in 2018 — selling out two nights at the Ryman Auditorium, touring with Jason Aldean — he says it's hard to pinpoint his biggest moment of the year. "Honestly, being nominated for two CMAs ain't bad either," Combs said in a backstage interview during rehearsals for the show.
"I'm just gonna try to keep the magic rolling a little bit, you know? This is everybody's dream: to be here and to be asked about it is a dream come true. I don't think winning is everything. Making your statement through your performances on stage: that for me is the biggest thing. I think we've won just simply based on the fact that we get to play our songs on the biggest night in country music," he said.


Recently, as part of my job as a reporter, I interviewed the regional president of a large and well-known national corporation. Unfortunately, the interview was rather unsuccessful, but not because of any of the usual reasons.
Como parte de mi trabajo como periodista, recientemente entrevisté al presidente regional de una importantísima y muy conocida corporación nacional. La entrevista, lamentablemente, no resultó buena, pero no por las razones que uno podría esperar.
"I want chocolate and I want it now!" the little girl said to her parents. And she said it with such clarity that those of us in the supermarket looked at the girl and her family with a mix of amazement, anxiety, and expectation.
"¡Quiero chocolate y lo quiero ahora!", les dijo la niña a sus padres con tanta claridad y un tono tan autoritario que quienes estábamos cerca de la pequeña y su familia en el supermercado nos miramos unos a otros con una mezcla de asombro y expectativa.


Put me on the list. If the film was as horrible as I thought it was going to be I would have said so. But compared to some of the other garbage directed at black folks from Hollywood there was nothing especially egregious with this remake. It was like an extended '90s gangsta rap video or those long R&B '90s videos that told a story.

No matter your age or experience, a plethora of tools are available to get you started or to help you refine your programming chops. Best of all, many of those resources are free.
And, if you'll forgive us for tooting our own horn, you should also check out an eighth resource: our upcoming DevBeat conference, Nov. 12-13 in San Francisco. It's a hands-on developer event packed with master classes, presentations, Q&As, and hackathons, and you can register right here.
If you need more hands-on and face-to-face interaction with an instructor, consider seeking out an intensive training program like Dev Bootcamp, AppAcademy, or one of the many courses offered by General Assembly. You'll pay far more than any online training, but in exchange you'll get dedicated instructors and much-needed inroads to engineering jobs.


I read this article and found it very interesting, thought it might be something for you. The article is called Christmas Plum Jam (recipe) and is located at https://www.chickencoopguides.com/christmas-plum-jam-recipe/.
So here is the recipe I promised you all last week. My wife wrote it up especially for you all. We struggled for a while with what to call it because as I told her, it tastes like Christmas in a jar. So she called it Christmas Jam, even though I think it's technically a preserve. I added the plum part myself.
I used red plums for this recipe, but I think black ones would look prettier. Wash, pit, and dice your plums but leave the skins on. Fill a gallon jar with the plums, squeeze the lemon juice over them, and leave them overnight in the fridge.
Pour all of your plums into a large pot the next day, cover with two of the cups of sugar and water and turn on the heat to simmer them. As they are cooking, you may want to blend up about ⅓ of the pot with a hand blender to make a richer preserve. In a small cup or bowl, add the ½ cup of sugar remaining to the pectin and mix together. Set this aside.
Simmer the plums and sugar until the skins start to burst and everything has softened. Add the honey and spices and stir until it starts to boil. When it is boiling, add your pectin/sugar mixture to the pot and stir to ensure there are no lumps. The jam will start to thicken instantly. Continue to cook it down for another minute or two. Then turn off the heat, add the vanilla extract, and stir again. Scrape down the sides of the pot and pour into sterilized jars. Wipe the edges, put the sterile lids on, and process in a water bath for 10-15 minutes. Makes 6 pints of jam. Plenty to keep some and give away some for the holidays. Especially in the cool new blue jars Ball sells!

Photographing single concerts are hard enough. Add in unpredictable weather, low lights, and multiple bands in one night, and you have yourself a music photography extravaganza. For Afiq, shooting for music festivals is a rewarding challenge, "Music festivals are like shots of adrenaline to me. Always different and always exhilarating."


Sometimes you wonder if you need to upgrade your hardware to speed up the rendering process so you can flipbook aka preview the shot in motion.
If you are not critical with the image quality of the preview, you can toggle Proxy mode in Nuke which either halves (well 1/4 to be exact) the project full resolution OR based on the size that you configure in your Project Settings so Nuke can render the shot faster.
Where can I toggle it?
As shown in the header image, it is located next to the Full Frame Processing icon in the Viewer. If you are using older version of Nuke, just look for the two rectangles icon.
Another area that you want to look for is the Project Settings (default shortcut: S). You can change the Proxy mode to either format or scale.
If you are using format, you can choose from a list of formats. Just remember to use smaller formats than your full size format.
For scale, you have a slider which is defaulted to 0.5.
How can it impact my workflow?
For starter, It is really useful if you need to make sure the animation timing is correct.
Although be warned that Proxy mode do cause issue with certain nodes that requires the full resolution from my experience in using it.
One example will be any keying node where the generated matte will looks slightly off compared to the full resolution. This might freak you out if you wondering why your matte edges didn't align properly with the subject.
Also nodes that utilises 32-bit floating point data like ZDefocus will look off too for the finer details.
Use it if image quality is not your main concern when previewing a shot as it really speed up the rendering time a lot (especially true if you are CPU bottlenecked).
Other than proxy mode, you can also configure Nuke to downrez the project if the script is really really heavy to render on your workstation.
To downrez, look for the 1:1 dropdown menu at the Viewer toolbar (the most right side of the toolbar as seen in header image).
You can refer to the GIF below for example on how both Proxy and Downrez works. Remember, Proxy mode affects Downrez too further reduce the amount of pixels being rendered.
Take note that the default setting for Proxy mode has been switched to 0.5 scale starting Nuke 9 (which I think is better than using the prior 640×480 resolution).

But John had turned 17 by the time of the third home invasion, and in Michigan that meant he would automatically be prosecuted as an adult. After hearing his story, the lieutenant said he never should have been placed in that ward. Male Rape in U.

Today, 17 year-olds are automatically tried as adults in nine states2, while 16 year-olds automatically face adult charges in North Carolina and New York. Town Hispanics had to pay. At every opportunity, S. John later said he was drunk during the break-in. LaBelle deposed Kimberly Dabner, the PREA coordinator for two facilities, whose job was to review allegations of sexual misconduct, handing cases off to an investigator and inputting data.

He later filed five affidavits with the court in which other prisoners corroborated his claims. John would later estimate that it lasted seven minutes. A few days after he switched cells, three inmates found him alone in the shower. He was twenty-four years old. His handwritten complaint contained a ninety-two paragraph fact section, setting out dates, names, and incidents in precise detail. So you do what he wants, I did, and that's how you get hooked. Soon after the shower rapes began, John met a white prisoner in his late 20s with blonde hair and a pierced tongue. After his suicide, a picture of his small shoulders and thin face circulated on major news networks and Hulin became a symbol of two related phenomena. In January , William Ruhlman shared a photo on his public Facebook page. Official policy forbade prisoners from visiting other cells, but officers frequently looked the other way. John requested and received a new cell assignment. Two days after he was moved, another prisoner cornered him in his cell and raped him. I saved up eight days' worth of Benedrils.

I was with the Valluco Valley crowd, so I was only passed around to them for free. A CO woke me up; he was a Christian; he told me God had a better plan for me. It made sense in terms of the programming they are offered, as well as counseling and the education classes they receive, to have these young prisoners at one facility, rather than have them spread around in facilities across the state.
John was slowly growing more confident. Fearful for his life, he later told Human Rights Watch that he purposely broke prison disciplinary rules in order to be placed on special cell restrictions, which left him locked in his cell twenty-three hours a day and therefore more protected. Both prisoners were smiling prior and after the open mouth to mouth contact. John propped a metal folding chair up against a window, climbed up, popped out the screen, and made his way inside.

Q: passing recordId to lighting flow component How can I pass the record Id to lightning flow component. I already add a variable in flow with name recordId and I add the aura attribute with name recordId, but it doesn't work.
COMPONENT
<aura:component implements="force:appHostable,flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,flexipage:availableForRecordHome,force:hasRecordId,forceCommunity:availableForAllPageTypes,force:lightningQuickAction" access="global" >
    <aura:attribute name="recordId" type="String"/>
    <aura:attribute name="isOpen" type="Boolean" default="false" access="private"/>
    <aura:handler name="init" value="{!this}" action="{!c.doInit}"/>
    <aura:if isTrue="{!v.isOpen}">

                        <lightning:buttonIcon iconName="utility:close" class="slds-modal__close" onclick="{!c.closeFlowModal}"/>

                        <lightning:flow aura:id="flowOutput" onstatuschange="{!c.closeModalOnFinish}" />

    </aura:if>
</aura:component>

CONTROLLER
({
doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
       component.set("v.isOpen", true);
       var flow = component.find("flowOutput");
       flow.startFlow("create_task");
    },

closeFlowModal : function(component, event, helper) {
        component.set("v.isOpen", false);
    },

closeModalOnFinish : function(component, event, helper) {
        if(event.getParam("status") === "FINISHED") {
            component.set("v.isOpen", false);
        }
    }
})

A: We can pass the input parameters to the flow from lightning aura component in js file as below.
({
doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
       component.set("v.isOpen", true);
       var flow = component.find("flowOutput");
// Added the below piece of code to pass the input parameters
    var inputVariables = [
            {
                name : "Accountid",
                type : "String",
                value : component.get("v.recordId")
            }
        ];
       flow.startFlow("create_task",inputVariables);
    },

closeFlowModal : function(component, event, helper) {
        component.set("v.isOpen", false);
    },

closeModalOnFinish : function(component, event, helper) {
        if(event.getParam("status") === "FINISHED") {
            component.set("v.isOpen", false);
        }
    }
})

( In my dev org I created lightning aura component which invokes when we click on "create task" button on account object and when user on clicks the "create task" button it will create the task linking the associated account through flow)
Reference documentation (https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/components_using_flow_inputs_set.htm) shows us how to pass the parameters from the component to Flow.

Uber Drivers Sue for Personal Data
News / By Jules Romero / July 20, 2020 July 30, 2020 / uber driver lawsuit, uber drivers sue
A group of Uber drivers has launched a legal challenge against the ride-sharing giant.
Uber drivers in Europe are suing for greater access to more of the personal data that Uber collects on them, such as information on "profiling and automated decision-making. The legal action of the group of drivers stands based on the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
The GDPR grants EU citizens data access rights over the personal information that may be held regarding them. Citizens of the European Union are also allowed the right to obtain a copy of the data so that it can be reused elsewhere.
Also, the regulation provides some additional access rights for citizens who are subject to wholly automated decision making processes, wherein there is a substantial legal or similar impact. This is relevant, as Uber's algorithms effectively determine the earning potential of a specific driver based on how the platform assigns and distributes available jobs.
The union representing the Uber drivers claim to be seeking a deeper understanding of the algorithms that Uber uses in its "automated decision-making" system. This level of transparency is required to establish the level of "management control" that Uber exerts on its drivers, according to the union.
This transparency will also allow Uber drivers to calculate their wages and benchmark themselves against other drivers accurately. Ultimately, this will allow Uber drivers to build "collective bargaining power."
The action was filed by four Uber drivers based in the United Kingdom with the backing of the App Drivers & Couriers Union (ADCU), a trade union for couriers and drivers who work for app-based companies in the U.K., such as Uber. The action was filed in the District Court of Amsterdam, which is where Uber's European headquarters is located.
The group of drivers claims that Uber withholds vital information from drivers, such as metrics it uses to monitor the performance of drivers. These metrics include late arrivals, inappropriate behavior, canceled rides, and attitude issues. The group argues that this secret profile data is what allows Uber to exert "management control" over its drivers.
The data in question could hold answers to many questions for drivers. For example, Uber automatically deactivates the accounts of Uber drivers when their rating falls below 4.4 out of 5. Therefore, obtaining profile data regarding ethnicity could help establish whether drivers from specific backgrounds are more likely to be rated negatively.
The filing of the Amsterdam court notes:
"To determine whether there is discrimination or unequal treatment, drivers need access to the calculation of their rating in the Uber Driver App, the variance over time, and the variance with respect to others."
Additionally, Uber released the following statement regarding the legal challenge:
"Our privacy team works hard to provide any requested personal data that individuals are entitled to. We will give explanations when we cannot provide certain data, such as when it doesn't exist or disclosing it would infringe on the rights of another person under GDPR. Under the law, individuals have the right to escalate their concerns by contacting Uber's Data Protection Officer or their national data protection authority for additional review."

Extending global forest carbon models based on LIDAR from tropics to other bioregions
LiDAR is a technology based on a laser mounted on a plane or satellite, which can yield detailed scans of forest ecosystems. This valuable information allows detailed analyses of the ecology and dynamics of tree populations, and it is commonly used for estimating forest carbon stocks. LiDAR has thus become very relevant in the context of climate change mitigation, since its accurate estimations can be used in the global market of carbon credits to pay for those who plant, grow and preserve forests, which can help in the protection of natural habitats. Researchers have recently developed universal carbon models that can be employed for global consistency in LiDAR estimations. These models are based on tree allometry, which relates the biomass of a tree to its diameter. The tree allometry employed is tailored to tropical biomes, where efforts for protecting forests are nowadays focused. There is however a need to adapt these methods to other bioregions, to obtain LiDAR carbon models that can be employed for global carbon assessments.
The research in this PhD project will consist of modelling and mathematical development of LIDAR models from various allometric models commonly employed at bioregions other than tropical: temperate, Mediterranean, boreal and alpine. The PhD candidate will adapt current tree allometry to this new LiDAR context, deducing populationlevel models from individual tree allometry and reverting the formulation of tree-diameter models. The work will also involve coordination and consistent processing of data shared by many collaborators around the world, in a cooperative effort to derive global carbon models. The outcome would be a framework for further universalizing the method for carbon accounting from LiDAR, which would have a strong and timely impact now that a satellite LiDAR system has just started being operational and entire countries are been scanned with airborne LiDAR technologies.
Essential: Applicants should hold the equivalent of a minimum of a UK Honours Degree at 2:1 level in numerate subjects related to Environmental Science, Geography, Natural Sciences, Applied Mathematics/Statistics, Modelling, Computer Science or related disciplines. Enthusiasm for helping conserving forests and / or an interest in remote sensing / Earth observation technologies.
Desirable: Strong modeling and mathematical skills and experience working with allometric models would be an advantage. Skills in Geographic Information Systems. Applicants who additionally have a Masters degree, or relevant work experience, will be particularly competitive. Knowledge of programming can also be an asset.

CXI is able to issue foreign currency denominated drafts for financial institutions in more than 30 of the most frequently demanded currencies. Foreign drafts are frequently used as an alternate payment method for International Wire Transfers in order to fulfill payment overseas. For the most part customers find that foreign drafts carry less fees than International Wire Transfers. The tradeoff to this is that International Wire Transfers are processed and received much quicker than drafts, since drafts are delivered to the bank for the individual to pick up and send to their recipient.
A financial institution would simply use CXI's CEIFX platform to enter the request for a foreign draft, entering the foreign currency and foreign amount they would like. The draft is then sent to the requesting branch. Drafts generally require less information than a wire transfer and are a safer alternative to sending cash in the mail.
Requests are automated through CXI's CEIFX platform.
Limited required information: Customer creating payment, who it is payable to, and the amount of foreign currency.
CEIFX calculates the total and provides a receipt for the transaction.
CXI fulfills the request and sends the foreign denominated draft to the requesting branch for the customer to pick up.
