White-paper: Data-driven lending
White-paper: Catalyzing Positive Change
The Data Revolution coming to Business Finance (and why I joined Trade Ledger™)
by Paul Carmichael, Head of Sales APAC at Trade Ledger™
Imagine starting a new job. A job that requires talking to everyone on the team and deeply immersing yourself in the fabric of the company. And then picture having to figure out how to connect and do this job remotely, in the middle of a global pandemic. Well, that was my experience starting at Trade Ledger™ at the end of April.
While only a modest issue for me to grapple with, the pandemic itself has brought about massive change for the industry I work in, business finance; an industry that, in my view, will never be the same again as a result.
From stitching to bridging
Over the last decade, I've seen many fintech trends emerge, solidify into market standards or — on the contrary — dissolve into irrelevance. And while trends are transient, many of the systemic issues that influence them (such as cost-to-income pressure, openings for new competitors and changing customer expectations) are not. That's because, for a long time, the financial industry has been a monolith. In spite of its resistance to change, even the most intractable elements of the financial system are now touched by it, because the unfolding transformation of the sector is truly pervasive.
The current era, I believe, is one defined by open, interoperable systems, where data — and the value it can provide when activated — matters more than the technology (for its own sake). While this may not be the standard for most financial organizations yet, it's certainly what customers expect of them.
What got the financial industry to this point is very different from what it needs to do to meet these expectations and the current global imperatives.
For example, addressing the £1.2 trillion global credit gap without making the shift towards non-physical collateral is no longer possible. Even those reluctant to this reality can't postpone heading in this direction. This is illustrated perfectly by director and media backlash towards Financial institutions in the UK asking for personal guarantees to access the (CBILS) COVID-19 business interruption loan scheme.
I've seen banks and financial institutions stitch different point-solutions together to address this wave of changes, because at the time it was the only option available to them at the time, but it doesn't work. Combined with legacy architecture in banks, this application spaghetti actually keeps them from evolving and becoming more efficient.
That's why many financial organizations are now looking to reduce the number of vendors and platforms they work with. But simplifying the tech space in finance is not just about minimizing the tech stack — it's about the framework that gives technology purpose and direction.
Bridging the global credit gap and giving SMEs a lifeline — especially now — requires more simplicity, more flexibility, and deeper, more robust integration.
Joining Trade Ledger™ in these times of rapid-fire change means I can make a substantial contribution to this important shift, an opportunity I intend to make the most of.
Originating, accelerating, and enabling transformation
Working with a team of open finance pioneers while the data-driven lending space is still emerging supplies countless possibilities to make a meaningful impact.
With Trade Ledger™'s business lending-as-a-service model, banks can achieve a new level of insight derived from the data they already have. I can see how this is transforming the relationship management model, which will become fundamentally different in this new context we're operating in.
The way I see it, Trade Ledger™ is the glue that binds essential parts of the ecosystem, enabling them to tap into opportunities only available through collaboration. The future of business finance is not lenders launching what they think are better products, but using data to better adapt and tailor lending services to individual customer context, extending it with services from third parties and embedding it into the right distribution channels.
From lowering the barrier to getting projects started to shortening the time to value, the team at Trade Ledger™ is every day enabling banks and other financial organizations to make this new digital finance a reality.
Even before joining the company, I couldn't help but notice Trade Ledger™'s approach to building the relationship with customers: incrementally, through results after each stage, constantly fuelled by a strong feedback loop.
This is the kind of change-making team I want to be part of
Personally, I thrive in contexts that provide me with autonomy, with the ability to make decisions fast, based on sound logic and rationale. It gives me a chance to use my fintech experience and make the most of the opportunities in the market. And I especially enjoy that I can contribute to scaling the company culture in a way that preserves its core and its connection with the community.
There's a new era of banking coming to the markets in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, and Hong Kong. SMEs need our help and my goal — our goal — is to help bridge the lending gap through microservice-based technology that creates real results and real impact for businesses and, through the ripple effect, society at large.
In this moment, banks need to make hard choices that will shape their future. I'm excited to work with those who embrace change and challenge themselves to go all-in in this transformation.

Google is moving ahead with Project Loon, a plan to use high-altitude balloons to provide Internet access to remote areas.
But there are some challenges ahead before the project goes mainstream.
The history of Google's moonshot project to provide global Internet access using high-altitude balloons goes back nearly 1800 years, according to Google[x] chief technical architect Rich Devaul. That's when, according to legend, a Chinese general sent a floating lantern into the sky to call for more troops.
The fundamental insight that would fuel the now (literally) full-blown project at Google[x] was of the "fast, cheap and out of control" variety. "Many people had proposed using either tethered balloons or stratospheric airships," Devaul says. "I decided that maybe that's not the right problem to solve." Instead, he wondered, what if the problem was figuring out how to keep the globe covered with a network of constantly moving untethered balloons?
The fruit of that idea is "Project Loon," which launched its first public trial last month in New Zealand, using 30 balloons to try to bring wireless signals to 50 testers includingsheep-farming entrepreneur Charles Nimmo.

Top 5 Things To Do On Upper West Side

Published May 30th 2011
If you're wondering what all you can see on New York's Upper West Side, you'll be amazed. Historic churches, an apartment building that earned notoriety because of a very famous person's death, and a place to catch a concert or other performance are just a few of them.
The Dakota
Each generation has a "where were you when…" event. For senior citizens, it was the bombing of Pearl Harbor, for "baby boomers" it was John F. Kennedy's assassination, and John Lennon's murder right outside The Dakota. (We got two, weren't we lucky)? You can still see the archway where John Lennon was gunned down on the night of December 8, 1980. When you go there, remember his message of peace and carry it with you.
The Cathedral of St. John the Divine
This is actually an unfinished church—construction was started in 1892, and is still going on today--which serves as the seat of the Episcopal Archdiocese of New York. Besides being an important part of the Episcopal Church, the building itself offers new sights each time you visit.
The interior is as fabulous as the outside, with stained glass window art and vaulted ceilings. When you visit, remember that this is an active place of worship, so please show proper respect and decorum.
The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts
This complex houses several theatres, and is home to the Metropolitan Opera, the New York Ballet, and several other elite and classic entertainment venues. A visit to New York City is not complete without taking in a performance at this venerable establishment.
Grant's Tomb
You will finally discover the answer to the old question: Who is buried in Grant's Tomb? It's the 18th President of the United States, Ulysses S. Grant. The tomb takes it construction designs from the Ancient Greek Tomb of Mausolus at Haicamannus for the outside, and Napolean's Tomb on the inside.
When you visit Riverside Church, you'll be viewing the highest tower of any church in the United States. You'll also be viewing what you think is a stone church, but is actually a steel structure covered in stone. You can thank John Rockefeller for funding this spectacular structure and commissioning two of the best architects that could be had to build the structure.

Collection of Cao Dai Holy Messages, Lessons 1-3
I have been telling you that I have prepared everything in your heart. Whatever you have in your mind was already predetermined. You need no worry. The way is reserved for predetermined people. Whoever has worshiped the Demonic Spirit cannot be My disciple. If there is good, there has to be bad. It is difficult to distinguish between the two. Human Beings therefore must come to Me. To become Immortals and Buddhas. If you already spent all your accumulated blessings and violated God's law, you are in no way forgiven. Don't count on having a Great and Gentle Father to disregard God's laws.

The mugwort used in TCM is called "Chinese mugwort". Mugwort leaves contain eucalyptol, a-thujone, and sesquiterpenes that can dispel mosquitoes. The polysaccharides and saponins from the roots can be used to treat asthma, cough, and thick sputum. In addition, they contain adenine, choline, wax, vitamins A,B1,B2, and C, minerals, tannins, proteins, and lipids, which have antioxidizing effects and protect the liver and gallbladder.
Christina von Dreien: Evolutionary Child of a New Era, Part 3 of 3
Do you always treat all people with love? You do that automatically. There are people who hate people, and I do not belong to them. I just can't do it. It's not in my nature. This has also something to do with the maturity of the soul. How many soul experiences did you have, where you've realized afterwards that it has changed you. You stop hating people because you have realized that it's totally useless. Then you say," I might just as well change and start loving everyone instead. It's a lot better for me and for them." That's how the world should function anyway. Love, itself is unconditional.
The Inner Teachings of Chuang Tzu: Chapter 19, Realizing a Full Life, Part 2 of 2
Kong Zi(Confucius) was observing the view from the Lu Liang Mountains where there was a waterfall three hundred feet high. The foam and froth created by the water as it hit bottom extended for thirteen miles. Neither turtles, alligators, fish nor any other water creatures were able to swim in those rapids. He saw a man swimming in the current. Kong Zi went up to him and asked:" I thought you must have been some sort of ghost, but now I can see you're a man. Please excuse me for asking, but do you have a special way to flit through water like that?" No, I don't have a special way. I started with what was inborn in me, grew up following my own nature, and accomplished what I have because of my fate.

From Tao Te Ching to the Way of the Sages: Interview of Mr. Su Yu-de, Part 2 of 2
You mentioned Tao Te Ching's doing without doing, the Šūrańgama Sutra, Quan Yin Method, Quan Yin Bodhisattva and Christianity. It is the very meaning that all religions convey. We shall resort to the Four Books: Great Learning, Doctrine of the Mean, Analects and Mencius for understanding the key concepts of Confucianism. The Great Learning has revealed in the beginning that, the way of the great learning is to realize one's good nature, to spread the good qualities among others, and to cultivate it to the perfection. A man who obtains the One will become the Great Man. The Great Man in Confucianism means the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Buddhism and the Saintly Immortals in Taoism.

Selection from Songs of Kabir, Part 2 of 2
In India, the religious community which recognizes Kabir as their Prophet is called Kabir Panth. Compositions of Kabir have been compiled into the holy Biyak, considered as sacred scriptures for devotees of Kabir Panth. It is believed that Kabir was brought up into the Islamic faith by Muslim weavers. A common name in the Islamic world, Kabir or al-Kabir, means the Great One. It is also one of the names of God given in the Qur'an. IT is evident in Kabir's philosophy the synthesis between Hindu and Muslim thought. He has said himself, "at once the child of Allah and of Ram."

'Anniversary White', takes us on a nostalgic trip down memory lane with a revival of the original Vipp white – the very first color chosen by Vipp founder Holger Nielsen in 1939. Together with the original handwritten logo, this year's color pays tribute to the design philosophy of Holger who in 2015 would have turned 100 years old.
"From the 1930s and decades ahead, my father's bins were primarily sold to doctors, dentists and veterinarians. To match the hospital and institution walls and inventory at the time, he used the same off-white color for his pedal bins." – Jette Egelund, daughter of Holger Nielsen.
This might be the opportunity to ad to our collection of Vipp products. Not only is the design pleasing to the eye, the quality is hard to beat too.


There was such an enthusiastic response to my recent post about mountains that I thought I would share more photos from the Bernese Oberland area in Switzerland. These shots are from three walks in June 2008 (which explains the less-than-fantastic quality of the photos). To see a much better version of the map below, click here.
Map of trains, buses and walking routes accessible from Interlaken. Just hop on a train, and go!
Walk 1: After my visit to Jungfraujoch and Top of Europe (more photos here), I walked from Kleine Scheidegg to Wengen, a route that takes about 2 hrs and 45 minutes. This was a lovely stroll with a gentle descent of only 800 m.
Grindelwald station (1034m): change trains and keep going up!
Kleine Schedigg (2061m), where you get the train to Jungfraujoch.
A stroll in the snow, Jungfraujoch.
The path leading to Wengen.
Walk 2: From Harder Kulm to Interlaken, roughly 2.5 hours – and a descent of 2500 m. My knees were shaking by the time that one was over!
Looking down on a paraglider.
… and the Brienzersee to the east.
A lovely, tree-lined walk — down, and down, and down.
These four photos were taken from the balcony of my hotel, the Metropole. Stunning views of Jungfrau, in all conditions (well, the foggy one is not so stunning).
5:35pm, and what a change in the weather!
Two hours later, Jungfrau is bathed in pink as the sun sets.
Walk 3: Along Schynige Platte, a generally flat 2.5-hour circular walk on a plateau.
From left to right, the famous peaks of Eiger (3970 m / 13025 ft), Mönch (4099 m / 13448 ft) and Jungfrau (4158 m / 13642 ft).

A mutation that has no phenotypic effect or adaptive significance.
However the SNP of G116C did not affect cashmere traits and was a neutral mutation.
In one approach, the variance method described by Hudson (1987), C was estimated as a function of (1) the variance ([Mathematical Expression Omitted]) in the number of restriction-site differences between pairs of gene sequences and (2) the neutral mutation parameter [theta](= 2NI1, where 11 is the neutral mutation rate for the gene segment, per genome per generation; thus, for a segment with [kappa] sites assayed by restriction [see Appendix 1], [mu] is [kappa] times the rate of neutral mutation per nucleotide site, [[mu].
Populations instead reach an equilibrium level of sequence divergence, at which the diversifying effect of neutral mutation is balanced by the homogenizing effect of interpopulation recombination.
Does recombination constrain neutral divergence among bacterial taxa?
In Takahata's fluctuating neutral space model, for example, the neutral mutation rate is changed with each neutral substitution.
Selection should affect eye-antennal correlations only while neutral mutation could affect all correlations.
Extent of protein polymorphism and the neutral mutation theory.
As originally conceived (Kimura, 1968), the neutral theory proposes that a diploid population of size N with a neutral mutation rate u produces mutations at a rate 2Nu.
These neutral mutations are the ones that scientists compare to trace human ancestry.
The second category, nonpathogenic or benign polymorphisms, includes sequence variants that have been previously identified as neutral mutations.
Note also that the linear tissue design does not change the rate of accumulation of neutral mutations.
Interesting facts are scattered throughout the book, such as how scientists determine the diets of fossilized organisms, how the molecular clock of neutral mutations can determine the time elapsed since a split from common ancestors, the evolution of complex adaptations (venom before fangs, and probably before snakes), the development of feathers from genes that originally produced scales, and the evolution of the complex eye, to name a few examples.

Epcot Canada Menu 2022 ♥
Epcot Canada Menu 2022
Canada has a booth at the 2021 Epcot International Food & Wine Festival serving dishes from Le Cellier, one of Walt Disney World's most sought-after Table service restaurants. This review reviews the menu at the Canada Global Marketplace and includes photos of the food and my opinions about the (what I believe is an) overrated booth.
It is a must to visit the Canada Global Marketplace is typically very popular and a top choice among Walt Disney World fans. While certain products have been discontinued, however, there are two tried and tested classics that have been available for many years:
the Canadian Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Soup and the Le Cellier Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon. It's not difficult to say that the soup made with cheddar cheese from Canada is delicious however when it's in the upper 80s and hot and humid, it's the last thing I'd like to eat. (November to be fair is a completely different tale.)
There's also Le Cellier filet mignon. Le Cellier filet mignon is well-known because it's filet mignon. It was also an objectively excellent way to use an allowance for snacks in the Disney Dining Plan. But it's true that the DDP isn't available in 2021 for Epcot Food & Wine Festival and this makes it more difficult to sell. (Speaking of which, there's a high chance that the DDP will return prior to the event's conclusion-see when will The Disney Dining Plan Return? for analysis and predictions.)
My personal favorite aspect is that there are many delicious snack-sized choices that could be available at this point. In actual fact, it is the case that there is a Canada booth at almost every Epcot event that has a vast and extensive menu including a number of delicious dishes that we've enjoyed. There's a Yukon Holiday Kitchen for the Christmas time event is a long-standing favorite.
Also, Walt Disney World could consider giving the Canada booth in a completely different direction. It would be the perfect opportunity to test the waters with different styles of poutine, a maple syrup, and bacon cupcake or even the return of BeaverTails (seriously-BeaverTails are amazing and I'd love for them to return to EPCOT!).
I know I know I'm not the only one, but I'm waiting for this overrated booth to get an overhaul of the menu. For many visitors, this Canada booth is among the main attractions at Epcot's Epcot International Food & Wine Festival. It's a top choice for both first-time visitors and regular guests as well. This menu is packed with food photos as well as opinions on the value of food and much more!
What you can expect to see at the Canada marketplace's food menu this year at the Food & Wine Festival:
Canadian Cheddar Cheese, as well as Bacon Soup, served with Pretzel Rolls Pretzel Roll
"Le Cellier" Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon with Truffle-Butter Sauce (gluten/wheat-friendly)
Canada Beverages:
Collective Arts Audio/Visual Lager Hamilton, Ontario
ChAC/teau des Charmes Cabernet-Merlot Old Vines
Here are our photos and reviews for each item in the Global Marketplace at Epcot International Food & Wine Festival
Canadian Cheese and Bacon Soup with a Pretzel Roll ($5.75) – Although only two items are available in Canada, they're very popular at Epcot Food & Wine Festival.
Most people know if this soup is for them. My take is that the soup is good but not great. The soup is rich and creamy, with lots of cheesey goodness. However, it's not worthy of the hype. We were also told by others that this year's portion sizes are smaller. It is still highly recommended unless you are going on a 90-degree day. In which case, why would you want soup?!

Canada: 2020 Epcot Food and Wine Festival
2020 Booth – Updated in September.
Canadian Cheddar Cheese and Bacon Soup served with a Pretzel Roll.
Le Cellier Wild Mushroom Beef Filet Mignon with Truffle-Butter Sauce.
Inniskillin Icewine.
Is Le Cellier worth the price?
Final Thoughts of Le Cellier
Our entire meal cost about $200; and for the most part, I would say it's definitely worth it. I don't think the food here is as good as Steakhouse 55 at Disneyland (our favorite steakhouse at ANY Disney property), but I do think it's one of the best steaks you can get at Disney World.
Is Epcot food expensive?
Food and wine are free, just like all EPCOT festivals. The festival portion of EPCOT is free.

Shortly after they reinstated Maty Mauk to the team, the Missouri Tigers suspended Mauk once again for disciplinary reasons. The junior quarterback will miss the remainder of the 2015 season, per Fox Sports' Stewart Mandel.
"Quarterback [sic] are held to a whole different standard than anyone else on the team," said Mizzou head coach Gary Pinkel, per Tod Palmer of the Kansas City Star. "Responsibility is huge."
Dave Matter of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported Mauk isn't dismissed from the program entirely, and the coaching staff could re-evaluate his status once the season is over.
Mizzou and Mauk made a mess of this. He was reinstated exactly one week ago. Bad look.
Correcting an error, Mauk not "dismissed." Five dismissals, then Mauk's suspension plus two transfers from 2012 recruiting class.
Pinkel originally suspended Mauk for the South Carolina game in late September for an unspecified violation of team rules. The QB then missed Missouri's matchups with Florida, Georgia and Vanderbilt—all of which were losses for the Tigers—while still on suspension.
Drew Lock replaced Mauk in the starting lineup and has largely struggled in the role. The freshman has thrown for 538 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions in the last four weeks, with Missouri failing to register a touchdown since its 24-10 win over the Gamecocks on Oct. 3.
"It puts a remarkable amount of pressure on a young player," Pinkel said of how Mauk's suspension will impact Lock, per David Morrison of the Columbia Daily Tribune. "At the end of the day, we don't asterisk things."
With Mauk ruled out for the rest of the campaign, Pinkel will hope Lock makes a little more progress on the field so the Tigers can become bowl-eligible.

Q: Python SOAP Client Nested Request I got a problem with a Python SOAP request.
I tested two python SOAP client libraries so far: SUDS and pysimplesoap.
Both work well for the following example:
from suds.client import Client
from pysimplesoap.client import SoapClient, SoapFault

# suds example
url = "http://www.webservicex.net/geoipservice.asmx?WSDL"
client = Client(url, cache=None)

print client.service.GetGeoIP((ip))

# pysimplesoap example
client = SoapClient(wsdl="http://www.webservicex.net/geoipservice.asmx?WSDL")

# call the remote method
response = client.GetGeoIP(("10.0.1.152"))

print response

Both work fine and give me the expected response:
{'GetGeoIPResult': {'ReturnCodeDetails': 'Success', 'IP': '10.0.1.152', 'ReturnCode': 1, 'CountryName': 'Reserved', 'CountryCode': 'ZZZ'}}

With a UI SOAP testing programm the request looks like this:
-<soap:Envelope>
    -<soap:Body>
        -<GetGeoIP>
            <IPAddress>("10.0.1.152")</IPAddress>
        </GetGeoIP>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Now the problem is, I need to contact another WS via SOAP, but that doesn't work. With the UI SOAP program it works (keys and token can be empty) and looks like:
-<soap:Envelope>
    -<soap:Body>
        -<getNews>
            -<shrequest>
                <data>{'account_number':202VA7, 'track_nr':1757345939}</data>
                <function>getnewsdata</function>
                <keys/>
                <token/>
            </shrequest>
        </getNews>
     </soap:Body>
 </soap:Envelope>

But my code doesn't work:
url = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
client = Client(url, cache=None)

data = "{'account_number':202VA7, 'track_nr':1757345939}"
function = "getnewsdata"
keys = ""
token = ""
shrequest = [data,function,keys,token]

response = client.service.getNews(shrequest)

print response

I get:
ValueError('Invalid Args Structure. Errors: %s' % errors)
ValueError: Invalid Args Structure. Errors:

How do I have to nest my request right?

A: I finally solved it. The SUDS library offers sth. nice:
url = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?wsdl"
client = Client(url, cache=None)

# Creating 'shrequest' obj. before the request
shrequest = client.factory.create('shrequest')
shrequest.data = "{'account_number':202VA7, 'track_nr':1757345939}"
shrequest.function = "getnewsdata"

response = client.service.getShipment(shrequest)

print response

Detective Pikachu is based on a video game of the same name, which sees Pikachu solving mysteries.
Just in case, you're oblivious to Pikachu, he's one of the most iconic Pokemon in the franchise, taking the world by storm since it came out.
Nintendo's Pokemon franchise has sold more than 300 million copies around the world, shipping out billions of trading cards. It has been the subject of an animated series, so it's safe to assume that the film may be a blockbuster.
Pokemon: Detective Pikachu will release on May 10, 2019.

Black History Month: Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller, Alzheimer's Researcher
Black History Month: Dr. Solomon…
Chances are, you've never heard of Solomon Carter Fuller, who was the first African-American psychiatrist in the United States and one of the pioneers of Alzheimer's research. In honor of Black History Month, I thought it would be fun to share something about the life and times of this influential scientist and doctor.
Dr. Fuller was the grandson of a slave who had purchased his freedom and moved to Monrovia, Liberia, where Fuller was born. His grandparents were medical missionaries in Liberia, so young Solomon was interested in studying and practicing medicine from a young age. Fuller left Liberia in his teens and came to the United States to study. He graduated from Livingstone College in North Carolina in 1893, and received an M.D. from Boston University School of Medicine in 1897, where he then taught for 34 years. He concurrently worked as a pathologist at Westborough State Hospital in Boston.
In 1904, he traveled to Germany to study with Alois Alzheimer at the Royal Psychiatric Hospital in Munich. Alzheimer was studying the neurodegenerative disease that now bears his name, which was then known as "presenile dementia". Dr. Alzheimer had selected only five foreign students to work as his research assistants, and Fuller was the only American scientist chosen for this honor. When Fuller returned to the U.S. in 1906, he continued his Alzheimer's work in Massachusetts while also studying the causes of schizophrenia, manic depression, and other psychiatric conditions.
Fuller faced discrimination throughout his career, mostly in the form of unequal pay and underemployment. For example, he was often tasked with performing autopsies, which was a job that was well below his training and expertise. Interestingly, doing autopsies may have given him an advantage when all was said and done, as it allowed him to study the structures and conditions of so many brains and bodies–knowledge that he used to draw key conclusions about the progression and pathology of Alzheimer's and other mental illnesses.
Later in his career, Fuller went to Tuskegee, Alabama, to develop the neuropsychiatric ward at the VA hospital there, and to train the doctors who would eventually head the department. In Tuskegee, Fuller's insights and training on the neurological decline associated with syphilis laid the groundwork for future generations of Tuskegee doctors to better diagnose syphilitic African-Americans who had been misdiagnosed with psychiatric illnesses.
Despite his many contributions to psychiatry research and his exemplary standing as a trainer and professor, the highest rank Dr. Fuller achieved at Boston University was associate professor. He eventually became an emeritus professor of neurology, and the mental health facility there is officially named the Dr. Solomon Carter Fuller Mental Health Center, in honor of his many contributions to psychiatric research.

Home MMA News Dana White UFC president Dana White shares his thoughts on open scoring in MMA
UFC president Dana White shares his thoughts on open scoring in MMA
Harry Kettle
UFC president Dana White has given his thoughts on the constant debate surrounding the potential introduction of open scoring in mixed martial arts.
The idea behind open scoring is that everyone would be well aware of how the judges are scoring the fight as the contest goes on, whether it be a three round affair or a five round main event.
Many have campaigned for this to be introduced in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, but Dana White has been pretty clear in his reasons for not wanting it to happen.
"When we do the fights I have an idea of who I think won or lost or whatever, but when I'm standing there with the belt, I don't know what Bruce Buffer is going to say," White said during an online chat with ESPN+ subscribers and Invicta color commentator Laura Sanko (via MMA Junkie). "He doesn't tell me anything. The judges tell him, the commission do their thing, they tell him and I'm standing there waiting to hear too so I'm just as blown away as the fans are. And I agree with you, it completely takes away the anticipation of who won the fight.
"If a guy knows that he's up two rounds and you're a professional fighter, you can absolutely stay away from a guy for an entire round and make the fight completely horrible," White added. "If you already know you've got two rounds in the bag, guarantee if you saw your score up there, all I have to do is stay away from this guy for the next five minutes. That makes for a lot of bad third rounds.
"Its never going to be perfect," White concluded. "There are always going to be fights that absolutely drive you insane and piss you off, blow your bets, there will always be all these other things that go with the fight business. At the end of the day, watching the fight and waiting for the results are fun."
Do you agree with Dana White's assessment of open scoring? Let us know in the comments!


Mattresses have been on my mind a surprising amount recently. Over the past year or two, I've noticed ads for ostensibly innovative beds — hyper comfortable and shipped directly to your home in a box — punctuating podcasts and filling subway stations. The ensuing bed contemplation has been oddly immaterial. While I know there is memory foam involved, these new mattresses feel almost entirely conceptual. Their novel delivery tickles expectations, and their ubiquitous advertising props them up as something of a symbol: a discursive element of the media zeitgeist, more than something a body would actually sleep, sweat, stretch, or dream on.
Lara Kramer's Windigo, presented at Montréal's Festival TransAmériques, begins with a set of more immediately tangible mattresses. Strewn on the stage, some still covered in packaging plastic, they have immediate weight. It's a physicality that resonates in Kramer's intensely somatic choreography. Performers Jassem Hindi and Peter James move through body states, imposing on, and responding to, their material collaborators. Kramer looks on from the stage's margin, manipulating a soundscape of assembled fragments. The many-layered performance unfolds circuitously, in turns intimate and political, elegiac and grasping, opaque and vulnerable.
In a discussion with Elsa Pépin published in the program notes, Kramer comments on the objects that inhabit her stage: "I want to give that material the same value as the body." Indeed, it's an approach visible across the choreographer's practice. In NGS ("Native Girl Syndrome") (2013), two performers maneuver, covet, and disperse personal troves; meanwhile the stage space of Tame (2015) is claustrophobic in its material fullness.
As Kramer observes, objects, like bodies, are loci of transformation. The mattresses in Windigo change constantly: a result of both the very physical incursions the human performers make on them, and how we see these objects, themselves, perform. In one moment they are animals, being butchered, as an audience member suggested, by the knives of unskilled hunters. In another they are spaces of comfort — soft and enveloping — into which a body can climb.
Post-show, Kramer recounted experimenting with mattresses early in the working process, dissecting them in her backyard. She described feeling fascinated with the coils, the bones and viscera of these otherwise mundane things. Windigo applies this same gesture of excavation to land and memory. Culling from time spent in Kramer's grandmother's community in the Lac Seul reserve, and from the experiences of each performer, the piece listens to and amplifies the many violences that persistently impact this place, and its bodies.
In a workshop on the practice of land acknowledgement, professor and artist Jill Carter described how a condition of forgetting undergirds many colonial processes. This erasure intersects the systems of commodity and corporate consumption that Kramer views as current iterations of the Windigo, a dangerous and cannibalistic supernatural figure. These structures trade in silences, in gleaming patinas and thin veils. To dig, then, into felt memory, into the insides and the undersides, proposes transformative resistance. And this is precisely what Windigo does. The work tears at rote surfaces, literally and conceptually, exposing vibrant and often painful animacies, like so much upturned earth.

Everyone cannot take their eyes off this a blonde-hair surfer on a perfect 12 foot face wave, while stylishly doing a hang ten on a Steward Surfboard at Wilderness, Puerto Rico. Spectator's mouths drop and are mesmerized by how gracefully this surfer maneuvers and becomes part of the giant wave.
This amazing surfer is Tony Silvagni, a professional surfer from Kure Beach, North Carolina. Tony is one of the top professional long-boarders in the world. He has been on Association of Surfing Professionals (ASP) World Tour for 7 years, and going strong with his elegant, yet, playful long-boarding style.
I met Tony in 2014 while surfing in Puerto Rico. Not only did I get to see him surf, but also get to know him off the ocean through his friends and family in person. His outgoing, open, yet, responsible personality made Tony become a popular person in the lineup and also off the water.
Tony and I chatted about his professional career, his schooling and new venture he started, Tony Silvagni Surf School, back home at North Carolina.
Surf Mei Mei: how did you get into surfing and competing?
Tony: I learned how to surf when I was 5 years old. I started competing when I was 7 years old with the Eastern Surfing Association (ESA). I competed up and down the east from New Jersey to Florida with the ESA and NSSA (National Scholastic Surfing Association). Now I have been in ASP World Tour for Professional Longboard surfers for 7 years now. I have really enjoy all aspects of competition, it's my passion.
Surf Mei Mei: Did you have other career choices before you choose to be a pro surfer? And how did you make that decision?
Tony: At the age of 16 I began to realize that professional surfing was my dream. I always wanted to revolve surfing around my life. I surfed so many events at a young age in the professional ranks that I couldn't imagine my life without it.
Luckily, Tony has a great family support system. Growing up, his brother, Andrew was also into surfing competition. The first year Tony competed in the ESA, he made it all the way to Regionals in Ocean City MD. According to Tony's mother, Barb Silvagni, Tony and Andrew were both extremely competitive and were hooked on competitive surfing from the beginning. The Salvagni worked it out as a family to get to all the events up and down the east coast, from Maryland to Florida with a minivan. They would stay with friends, camped, or spent many nights in hotels to make sure the brothers could compete and family enjoy good and hard time together.
Surf Mei Mei: It looks like you have a very loving supporting family and fans you seem very sincere and loving. It sounds like your family very important to you and how has that affected your surfing and competitions?
Tony: My surfing has always been influenced by my entire family. They have supported me from the very beginning. My family has always been the biggest influence in my surfing career and business. They have supported me from the beginning and never have given up on me. We are a surfing family.
Thankfully, Tony also has had supportive sponsors through out his surfing career. He rode for Ricky Carrol and Local Motion, Kelly Richards with Perfection boards, and now for Bill Stewart and Stewart Surfboards. He was sponsored with a major campaign by Bavaria Holland Beer and later by Quiksilver, Hotwax Surf Shop, and Kulcha Shok. Tony was also an ESA Allstar and traveled to places like Australia with the Allstar Team. He also went to Puerto Rico with the Local Motion Team. Tony's career was definitely a team effort supported by family, sponsors, and friends.
Surf Mei Mei: How did you start your own surf camp? Why? How do you handle your life in traveling for competitions and surf school?
Tony: I started my surf school while I was attending the university of North Carolina as a business major in the Cameron school of business. I chose to go to college to always have a back up plan. College teaches you many good qualities for time management, leadership roles, and business strategies. I feel education is important for everyone.
A local hero, Tony is a beloved individual back home at North Carolina. He is also a very funny guy who just likes to make people laugh. Unlike many professional surfers who concentrate on surfing only, Tony Silvagni chose to continue his schooling at the University of North Carolina as a business major in the Cameron school of business, which helped him to start Tony Silvagni Surf School with huge success.
Tony Silvagni Surf School has expanded with a Surf Cam, lifestyle merchandise. The Surf School and beach service have become a travel destination in North Carolina and it has received great local support. While surfing for fun and competing, Tony also has great work ethic and often thinks in big pictures like a successful entrepreneur.
Surf Mei Mei: What's your favorite kind of surfboard to ride? Where is your favorite spot?
Tony: I have always been a waterman surfing on shortboards, longboards, paddleboards and bodyboards since I was a kid. I have enjoyed competing in all the divisions. Longboarding has been my forte and I enjoy it the most when free surfing and competing. My favorite board is the cmp model by Stewart surfboards shaped by Bill Stewart. This board is so amazing on many types of surf conditions. I like how it noserides and the responsive turning radius. Bill Stewarts surfboards have changed my life. The dimensions are 9'0″ x 22 5/8 x 2 5/8. My few of my favorite surf spots are Keramas, Honolua Bay, Cloudbreak, and Wilderness.
Surf Mei Mei: What advice do you have to all surf sisters out there who want to surf better?
Tony: Always to have fun and strive to be a positive influence.
Surf Mei Mei: What does surfing mean in your life?


Dried hydrangea, gourds and pumpkins ar ideal for this time of year.
The main piece of the grouping is the ginormous kraut cutter. Must have been a big family who owned this baby!! The cool beand piece on the wall is a gate from a hog crate. I wanted to keep everything clean and simple!
The cutter is offset so you can have room for your settings. Beverage glasses, crisp vintage napkins, a small silver tray, and som beautiful Majolica dishes did the trick for me.
Who says you can't embellish your wine bottles??? A little vimtage bling on ribbon...so cute! These pieces are done by a friend of mine who's company is called Crow and Co.. Love them!!
Some roses crafted from stakes, burlap, and duck cloth. My vase does not hold water so I had to go with a variety of items that don't require it!
A rolled up conveyor belt with twine and a oulley is my vase. I love the industrial feel against the more primitive style of the kraut cutter.
If you look closely at the arrangement you can see that I have thrown in a few well used drill bits for good measure!

Here are a few things to consider before taking a payday advance in Athboy SD.
1. Make sure that you are aware precisely whenever that your payday advance or cash loan is due to be paid and follow the required measures to pay off that payday loan promptly.
2. Inadequate funds fee and even bounced check service charges will build up quick and may be fairly pricy, so be mindful not to overshoot your funds when ever taking out a payday advance.
3. Ensure that you get accessibility to your most recent work paycheck stubs in addition to your bank account details.
4. Previous to making use of a payday advance, contact the The Better Business Bureau in order to find out just how credible the agency is and if it has any criticisms.
5. In the case that you have no idea the best ways to budget and save your income, at that point you may possibly would like to get credit counselling in order to reduce the necessity for payday advances in the future.
6. In the event that you sense that you have been addressed incorrectly or unlawfully by a payday loan or cash loan lender, you may submit a complaint with your state agency.
7. Always be sure you read the fine print at the bottom of any payday advance or cash loan agreement before you sign it. In the case that you don't grasp something or have doubts, do not put your signature on it.
8. To avoid needing to obtain payday advance loans later on, get under way stashing a reserve of at the very least $500.
9. As uncomfortable as it may be to ask a close friend or relative for resources , it can end up a lot better than obtaining a payday loan . If that is not an possibility, try getting a credit card or any credit line before a payday loan , frequently times the rates on these are much less than what you would pay on a cash advance.
10. Don't forget to make an effort and pay back your cash advance completely when it is due without going past the due date.
