Found this picture of John McCain Sr. (the Senator's grandfather) and William "Bull" Halsey on Wiki while looking up something or another.
Here's McCain Sr and Junior (the Senator's dad) at the Japanese surrender in Tokyo Bay. McCain Sr. dropped dead four days later.

Thoughts of a Philosophical Fighter Pilot

Remember this guy? For some reason or another I bought this pamphlet of a speech he gave at King's College, London, November 1993:
Stockdale was a 38 year old naval aviator when he got sent to Stanford for two years of study. He was pretty bored until a professor handed him a copy of The Enchiridion, a collection of the teachings of Epictetus.
What does Epictetus teach?
He taught how to play the game of life with perspective:
an A-4
Five years later, this is what happened to Stockdale:
Stockdale was wrong about how long he'd be there. He was there for 7 1/2 years, much of it in solitary confinement:
How did he spend his time? Well, for one thing he constructed a sliderule in his mind from equations tapped to him in code through a concrete wall::
A bigger collection of Stockdale's speeches and essays:
where he distills what he learned through his prison experience down to "one all-purpose idea, plus a few corollaries":
What he has to say about public virtue is distressing as I watch the future president:
A badass:
Recommend Courage Under Fire, which costs five bucks or $3.85 on Kindle. Thoughts Of A Philosophical Fighter Pilot is for the serious Stockdale student.
I think you can appreciate the greatness of Stockdale and also find this funny:

Shoutout to my pal Fabrizio Copano for telling me about him.
More about Farkas.

Faithless electors
Posted: November 16, 2016 | Author: helytimes | Filed under: America Since 1945, politics, presidents | Leave a comment
Salving myself with fantasies of whole state delegations of presidential electors tossing out Trump when the Electoral College voting goes down.
The Electoral College never actually meets as one body. Electors meet in their respective state capitals (electors for the District of Columbia meet within the District) on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December, at which time they cast their electoral votes on separate ballots for president and vice president.
The history of "faithless electors" doesn't break a five on a 1-10 scale of interesting (with 10 being reasonably interesting) but the case of the last faithless elector is kind of funny:
1 – 2004 election: An anonymous Minnesota elector, pledged for Democrats John Kerry and John Edwards, cast his or her presidential vote for John Ewards [sic],[8]rather than Kerry, presumably by accident
There's some talk of the Electoral College in The Federalist 68, which seems a little optimistic at the moment:
The process of election affords a moral certainty, that the office of President will never fall to the lot of any man who is not in an eminent degree endowed with the requisite qualifications. Talents for low intrigue, and the little arts of popularity, may alone suffice to elevate a man to the first honors in a single State; but it will require other talents, and a different kind of merit, to establish him in the esteem and confidence of the whole Union, or of so considerable a portion of it as would be necessary to make him a successful candidate for the distinguished office of President of the United States.
Enjoyable.

Seinfeld –> Trump?
Posted: November 15, 2016 | Author: helytimes | Filed under: politics | Leave a comment
Read this Bloomberg profile by Joshua Green of the president-elect's "chief strategist and senior counselor," Steve Bannon:
And then, serendipitously, Bannon wound up in the entertainment business himself. Westinghouse Electric, a client, was looking to unload Castle Rock Entertainment, which had a big TV and movie presence, including Billy Crystal's films. Bannon reeled in an eager buyer: Ted Turner. "Turner was going to build this huge studio," he says, "so we were negotiating the deal at the St. Regis hotel in New York. As often happened with Turner, when it came time to actually close the deal, Ted was short of cash. … Westinghouse just wanted out. We told them, 'You ought to take this deal. It's a great deal.' And they go, 'If this is such a great deal, why don't you defer some of your cash fee and keep an ownership stake in a package of TV rights?' " In lieu of a full adviser's fee, the firm accepted a stake in five shows, including one in its third season regarded as the runt of the litter: Seinfeld. "We calculated what it would get us if it made it to syndication," says Bannon. "We were wrong by a factor of five."
This has been reported elsewhere. Nearly unbelievable. Tried to do the digging and found out the other four shows. Best I could find:
That's where Bannon popped up. He had left Goldman Sachs to start Bannon & Co., a boutique banking firm specializing in media companies. His firm was representing Westinghouse, and when Turner didn't have the cash to close both deals, he offered as partial payment the right to participate in some of Castle Rock's TV shows. Most were unremarkable titles that even insiders can't quite recall (though some say The Ed Begley Jr. Show and Julie Brown: The Show were included). There also was Seinfeld, which was struggling to find an audience even in its third season. Bannon advised Westinghouse to accept Turner's terms. Westinghouse executives countered that if Bannon was so confident, he should also accept participation rights instead of a portion of his bank's $3 million fee. Bannon took the chance. Neither Seinfeld, Horn, Reiner nor anyone at Castle Rock were even aware of the arrangement.
What lessons are in this profile?
But this "conspiracy," at least under Bannon, has mutated into something different from what Clinton described: It's as eager to go after establishment Republicans such as Boehner or Jeb Bush as Democrats like Clinton.
Engineered Weiner downfall?:
Tipped to Weiner's proclivity for sexting with female admirers, Bannon says, the site paid trackers to follow his Twitter account 24 hours a day and eventually intercepted a crotch shot Weiner inadvertently made public. The ensuing scandal culminated in the surreal scene, carried live on television, of Andrew Breitbart hijacking Weiner's press conference and fielding questions from astonished reporters.
Let us be careful about punditry with oversold conclusions:
For Bannon, the Clinton Cash uproar validated a personal theory, informed by his Goldman Sachs experience, about how conservatives can influence the media and why they failed the last time a Clinton was running for the White House. "In the 1990s," he told me, "conservative media couldn't take down [Bill] Clinton because most of what they produced was punditry and opinion, and they always oversold the conclusion: 'It's clearly impeachable!' So they wound up talking to themselves in an echo chamber."
Interesting lessons:
In response, Bannon developed two related insights. "One of the things Goldman teaches you is, don't be the first guy through the door because you're going to get all the arrows. If it's junk bonds, let Michael Milken lead the way," he says. "Goldman would never lead in any product. Find a business partner." His other insight was that the reporters staffing the investigative units of major newspapers aren't the liberal ideologues of conservative fever dreams but kindred souls who could be recruited into his larger enterprise. "What you realize hanging out with investigative reporters is that, while they may be personally liberal, they don't let that get in the way of a good story," he says. "And if you bring them a real story built on facts, they're f—ing badasses, and they're fair."
Used the media outlets of his opponents to his advantage:
"It seems to me," says Brock of Bannon and his team, "what they were able to do in this deal with the Times is the same strategy, but more sophisticated and potentially more effective and damaging because of the reputation of the Times. If you were trying to create doubt and qualms about [Hillary Clinton] among progressives, theTimes is the place to do it." He pauses. "Looking at it from their point of view, theTimes is the perfect host body for the virus."
The takeover boom:
Bannon landed in Goldman's New York office at the height of the hostile takeover boom. "Everything in the Midwest was being raided by Milken," he says. "It was like a firestorm." Goldman didn't do hostile takeovers, instead specializing in raid defense for companies targeted by the likes of Drexel Burnham and First Boston. The first few years, he worked every day except Christmas and loved it: "The camaraderie was amazing. It was like being in the Navy, in the wardroom of a ship." Later, he worked on a series of leveraged buyouts, including a deal for Calumet Coach that involved Bain Capital and an up-and-comer named Mitt Romney.
Two big things were going on at Goldman Sachs in the late '80s. The globalization of world capital markets meant that size suddenly mattered. Everyone realized that the firm, then a private partnership, would have to go public. Bankers also could see that the Glass-Steagall Act separating commercial and investment banking was going to fall, setting off a flurry of acquisitions. Specialists would command a premium. Bannon shipped out to Los Angeles to specialize in media and entertainment. "A lot of people were coming from outside buying media companies," he says. "There was huge consolidation."
The narrative:
Breitbart's genius was that he grasped better than anyone else what the early 20th century press barons understood—that most readers don't approach the news as a clinical exercise in absorbing facts, but experience it viscerally as an ongoing drama, with distinct story lines, heroes, and villains. Breitbart excelled at creating these narratives, an editorial approach that's lived on. "When we do an editorial call, I don't even bring anything I feel like is only a one-off story, even if it'd be the best story on the site," says Alex Marlow, the site's editor in chief. "Our whole mindset is looking for these rolling narratives." He rattles off the most popular ones, which Breitbart News covers intensively from a posture of aggrieved persecution. "The big ones won't surprise you," he says. "Immigration, ISIS, race riots, and what we call 'the collapse of traditional values.' But I'd say Hillary Clinton is tops."
Wow:
Schweizer grew disillusioned with Washington and became radicalized against what he perceived to be a bipartisan culture of corruption. "To me, Washington, D.C., is a little bit like professional wrestling," he told me. "When I was growing up in Seattle, I'd turn on Channel 13, the public-access station, and watch wrestling. At first I thought, 'Man, these guys hate each other because they're beating the crap out of each other.' But I eventually realized they're actually business partners."
Mission… accomplished? How about this:
Hillary Clinton's story, they believed, was too sprawling and familiar to tackle in its entirety. So they'd focus only on the last decade, the least familiar period, and especially on the millions of dollars flowing into the Clinton Foundation. Bannon calls this approach "periodicity."
Ewwwwww:
"The modern economics of the newsroom don't support big investigative reporting staffs," says Bannon. "You wouldn't get a Watergate, a Pentagon Papers today, because nobody can afford to let a reporter spend seven months on a story. We can. We're working as a support function."
More insight from this Hollywood Reporter article:
The Democratic Party betrayed its working-man roots, just as Hillary Clinton betrayed the long-time Clinton connection — Bill Clinton's connection — to the working man. "The Clinton strength," he says, "was to play to people without a college education. High school people. That's how you win elections."
To say that he sees this donor class — which in his telling is also "ascendant America," e.g. the elites, as well as "the metrosexual bubble" that encompasses cosmopolitan sensibilities to be found as far and wide as Shanghai, London's Chelsea, Hollywood and the Upper West Side — as a world apart, is an understatement. In his view, there's hardly a connection between this world and its opposite — fly-over America, left-behind America, downwardly mobile America — hardly a common language. This is partly why he regards the liberal characterization of himself as socially vile, as the politically incorrect devil incarnate, as laughable — and why he is stoutly unapologetic. They —liberals and media — don't understand what he is saying, or why, or to whom. Breitbart, with its casual provocations — lists of its varied incitements (among them: the conservative writer David Horowitz referred to conservative pundit Brill Kristol as a "renegade Jew," and the site delighting in headlines the likes of "Trannies 49Xs Higher HIV Rate" and "Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy") were in hot exchange after the election among appalled Democrats — is as obtuse to the liberal-donor-globalist class as Lena Dunham might be to the out-of-work workingman class. And this, in the Bannon view, is all part of the profound misunderstanding that led liberals to believe that Donald Trump's mouth would doom him, instead of elect him.
"The globalists gutted the American working class and created a middle class in Asia. The issue now is about Americans looking to not get f—ed over. If we deliver—" by "we" he means the Trump White House "—we'll get 60 percent of the white vote, and 40 percent of the black and Hispanic vote and we'll govern for 50 years. That's what the Democrats missed, they were talking to these people with companies with a $9 billion market cap employing nine people. It's not reality. They lost sight of what the world is about."
Much of this is the same kind of stuff which can be found in this book:
A good detail from it:
The closing note from that HR Bannon profile, btw:
"I am," he says, with relish, "Thomas Cromwell in the court of the Tudors."
How did it end for Cromwell, I can't remember?
go visit a bookstore, here's local indie ones
Helytimes in on hiatus once again as we consider the work ahead.
This country's always asked for work from its citizens, take these guys (by which I mean women and men) for instance:
fix airplanes!
make sandwiches!
Our hiatuses last an average of two days.
Move to Australia? Sounds good, love to visit, but we better help out here.
Meantime, why not support an indie bookstore? Those bastions of democracy. Or fine, support Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos.
Damn, featured in the newsletter? Damn.
This book is about
being curious about the world
the people south of us and how they got that way
survivals in the face of the catastrophes in history.

in the wilderness
After seeing Horrible Trump at the RNC, I was in a terrible mood, you can hear it in my voice in the episode of Great Debates we recorded right after.
Talked about it afterwards in Great Debates News, and I get upset anew when I remember what I thought then:
Here's the simplest and worst thing I can say about a Trump rally: you're way more likely to say "I hate you" to somebody afterwards.
Can already feel this feeling happening again, to me and to people around me. This is a nasty guy and hearing him and seeing him makes you feel nasty. For myself, gonna try hard to not get worse, ruder.
Need to think on some new judo.
DEFEAT INTO VICTORY

Struck once on a visit to London by the power of the monument to Viscount Slim, at St. Paul's:
Slim's book gets a good place on my shelf:
Because I want a daily reminder of his attitude:
George MacDonald Fraser, later author of The Flashman Papers series of novels, then a nineteen-year-old lance corporal, recalled:
But the biggest boost to morale was the burly man who came to talk to the assembled battalion … it was unforgettable. Slim was like that: the only man I've ever seen who had a force that came out of him… British soldiers don't love their commanders much less worship them; Fourteenth Army trusted Slim and thought of him as one of themselves, and perhaps his real secret was that the feeling was mutual.
Let us remember things have been dark before. When it comes to the pinch human beings are heroic, said Orwell (worth checking out the context).
O Pioneers!
Posted: November 10, 2016 | Author: helytimes | Filed under: America, history, nature, the American West, writing | Leave a comment
Just finished reading:
A strange thing to read, maybe. Here is the story of how I came to read it.
Some years ago, filming the finale of The Office on Dwight Schrute's farm:
I looked around at the inland Malibu landscape and got to wondering if there could be a show about the pioneers: people who arrived on empty* land and built their lives there.
Sod house in Saskatchewan circa 1900
So as research I picked up the first book I thought of:
Didn't finish it. Got distracted before I got off the third page, probably at first by my phone and then by my life.
A true Save The Cat
On the first page of O Pioneers!, there is a true Save The Cat situation.
We're in the middle of a blizzard, and Little Emil's cat has gone up a telegraph pole, and he's afraid it'll freeze:
Reunited
Down in Australia in August, I saw the cool Penguin Classics edition:
and picked it up thinking, eh what the hell I should find out what happened to that cat.
Well, I found out, and I found out what happened to Emil and his sister Alexandra for the next forty years.
I believe an error was made in choosing this quote for the front page:
It isn't the most interesting one from the book. I might've chosen this:
Or even, if we're going re: ducks, this:
This quote made me think of the news:
Also can't say that the epigraph is especially sexy:
Perhaps it's better in the original Polish.
Mickiewicz is bae?
But still I pressed on, and in the end, I gotta give it up to O Pioneers!
The life of Willa Cather
Willa Cather must've been quite something. She was born in Gore, Virginia, but as a girl she was brought to Red Cloud, Nebraska:
where she made a real impression:
Was Willa Cather a lesbian?
Willa Cather shot out of Nebraska like a rocket.
The closest relationships in her life were with women, and she lived with one Edith Lewis:
for close to thirty years. Some biographers hesitate to call her a lesbian, though, saying she never identified herself that way.
Willa Cather Memorial Prairie
Willa died in 1947. She has a memorial prairie named after her, it's the number 2 thing to do in Red Cloud, NE after her house:
it's cool to have your own prairie
Willa on writing
O Pioneers! still holds up. I found myself moved by it, and it's short. Cather has a way of summing up loneliness, heartache, longing, compassion, in a few short lines.
I went ahead and got Willa's collected essays on writing.
Here she tells how she came to write O Pioneers!, her second book:
She wrote in some opposition to the detail-filled writing of Balzac:
Interesting point here:
Red Cloud, Nebraska
Here's a picture of downtown Red Cloud from Google Maps:
About as solid a Trump country as you will find:
As of 2000 the median income for a household in the city was $26,389, and the median income for a family was $34,038. Males had a median income of $26,364 versus $17,232 for females. The per capita income for the city was $14,772. About 8.4% of families and 13.3% of the population were below the poverty line, including 20.9% of those under age 18 and 10.1% of those age 65 or over.
Brave Companions
David McCullough has something moving to say about Red Cloud and Willa and her other famous book:
I found O Pioneers! very moving and powerful, let me share with you why:
Warning: O Pioneers! spoiler
Skip this if you intend to read the book with suspense in mind.
But I doubt you will. I found this the most moving passage, and worth all the reading. Let me set it up for you:
Emil, he of the lost cat on page 2, grows up under the guidance of his older sister, Alexandra. She's really the focus of our story. Carl, the local boy who saves the cat, is in love with her, but he can't really take it out on the plains, so he goes off, and leaves her behind. She's left to care for her brothers.
Emil, youngest brother, does great. He goes on to college at the University of Nebraska, while Alexandra stays to watch over the farm. All the while Emil's been in love with a neighbor girl, Marie. She marries another man, though.
Still, Emil and Marie are in love. Eventually Marie's husband, Frank Shabata, finds his wife and Emil together. In a crazed rage he murders Marie and Emil both.
Alexandra, alone at age forty, is heartbroken, left adrift at the death of her brother. But still, she feels sympathy for Frank Shabata, who's been sent to prison in Lincoln for his crime.
Alexandra, lost and in pain, decides to go visit Frank in prison. In afternoon/dusk, after arriving in Lincoln, she wanders the campus of the university, thinking of her murdered brother. Desperate for any kind of connection, she runs into a student:
Walt Whitman Reads: America
The Whitman Recording
The title of O Pioneers! comes from a poem by Walt Whitman.
Some years ago, a recording of Walt Whitman's voice, said to have been recorded onto an Edison wax cylinder around 1889 or 1890, was rediscovered.
In these times when it seems maybe we lost our way, nationally, it made me feel good to hear this. Forty-six seconds long:
Yeeeeeeesh.

Need this lady in my political life at this moment.
Was it worse to experience this in horrific car crash realtime on the West Coast or to go to bed and wake up to it on the East Coast?
You can take this bit from Nate Silver and find it a depressing what if or a somewhat hopeful sign of how small actions can affect significant change:
Most perceptive, insightful thing I read this whole durned election was in Cracked.com, by "David Wong," about the rural vs. urban divide.

Tyler Cowen making baffled guesses at Trump on the economy:
If there is any common theme to my predictions, it stems from Trump's history in franchising his name and putting relatively little capital into many of his business deals. I think his natural instinct will be to look for some quick symbolic victories to satisfy supporters, and then pursue mass popularity with a lot of government benefits, debt and free-lunch thinking. I don't think the Trump presidency will be recognizable as traditionally conservative or right-wing.
I also expect U.S. trade relations to worsen significantly, as I've already discussed in an online conversation with Robert Zoellick. I foresee Trump renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, mostly picking on Mexico. Mexico would end up having to pay some kind of fee, either directly or indirectly, for continuing access to the U.S. market. That way, Trump could in fact make Mexico "pay for the wall." It is no surprise that the peso plummeted as the tide started to turn in Trump's favor Tuesday night.
Thomas Ricks on Trump and Defense:
Second, it will be interesting to see how Trump gets along with the generals he has condemned as losers and Obama cronies. Being the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff will be one of the toughest jobs around. Second toughest: Being the legal advisor to the chairman. Imagine the exchanges:
President Trump: "That's an order."
General: "Sir, my JAG tells me that's an illegal order."
President Trump: "OK, your JAG is fired. Now find someone who will help me, not throw obstacles in my way."
Trump also might find nettlesome the generals who say things like, "OK, if we do that, what happens after that? What's the next step?" The Obama administration didn't like that when General Mattis did in that in discussions of Iran, and Trump will like it even less.

Jones was ideologically separated from many of the other female activists of the pre-Nineteenth Amendment days due to her aversion to female suffrage. She was quoted as saying that "you don't need the vote to raise hell!"[14] Her opposition to women taking an active role in politics was based on her belief that the neglect of motherhood was a primary cause of juvenile delinquency.
Is it ridiculous or cool that a California voter has to make themselves a sheet like this:

Pretty into two articles this week about enormous imaginative projects.
First up was this New Yorker thing by Charles Finch on Islandia:
In 1931, a legal scholar named Austin Tappan Wright died in a car accident in Las Vegas, New Mexico, not far from Santa Fe. He was forty-eight. His father had been one of the preëminent academics of the previous century—"A History of All Nations from the Earliest Times," for which he served as editor, runs to more than twenty volumes—and his mother, Mary Tappan Wright, was a famous novelist, a progenitor of what we now think of as the campus novel. Wright's own career was more quietly successful. Before his death, he taught at Penn, Stanford, and Michigan, and published articles on maritime law, their scope profoundly, almost rebukingly more modest than that of his father's work—"Supervening Impossibility of Performing Conditions in Admiralty," for example, or "Private Carriers and the Harter Act."
After his unexpected death, Wright's wife and daughter had the task of going through his papers. They were unprepared for what they discovered there.
Cool story:
In an afterword to the novel, Wright's daughter recalls that when her father spoke to his wife from a telephone booth, he would remove his hat. This small gesture explains "Islandia," to me: Wright was part of that great age of anonymous managerial Harvard men who assumed their expected places in society while also maintaining the most intense imaginable internal worlds—Wallace Stevens, T. S. Eliot, Charles Ives if you expand the range to include Yale.
(Ugh, must we include Yale?)
A map of the Karain Semi-Continent based on Austin Tappan Wright's 1942 Utopian novel Islandia. Created by Johnny Pez on 30 March 2006. from wiki.
Also wild was this New Yorker thing by Esther Yi about German writer Arno Schmidt and the effort to translate his 1300 page book:
"Zettel's Traum" is both Schmidt's most famous book and his least read, and for the same reason:
because it's thirteen hundred pages long?
it is dedicated almost entirely to applying a Freudian theory of language to the works of Poe. (This was familiar ground: Schmidt spent years translating Poe, in collaboration with Hans Wollschläger.) Dan argues that words are composed of units of sound, or "etyms," that reveal an author or speaker's unconscious thoughts. To say "whole" is to think "hole," for instance. With his ear cocked to sexual harmonics, Dan finds in Poe an impotent man who is possessed by the erotic and, unable to express his sexuality in bed, resorts to voyeurism, notably of what people do on the toilet.
"One could not tell if this was amazing, or if this was something for crazy people," Susanne Fischer, the head of the Arno Schmidt Foundation, which manages the writer's literary estate, told me.
There was a method to Schmidt's madness:
Each night, at 2 a.m., he would begin writing in the upstairs room, from which even his cats were barred (not least because the one he called Conte Fosco, after a Wilkie Collins character, had urinated on his prized edition of James Fenimore Cooper). He compiled roughly a hundred and twenty thousand scraps of paper, or Zettel, in shallow wooden boxes, which he spread out on his desk. On each Zettel, there was written a bit of dialogue or sexual wordplay ("Im=pussy=bell'–!") or a literary quote rerouted through his one-track mind ("the fleshy man=drake's stem. / That shrieks, when torn at night"). After twenty-five thousand hours of knitting the pieces together, Schmidt handed the manuscript to his publisher in a large cardboard box tied with a curtain sash.
For a less hefty read might I recommend:

The foreign exchange market has long been dominated by a select group of large banks, but Euromoney's inaugural five-star FX rankings show a different set of banks may be providing the best client service.
A five-star ranking can be the making of the modern hotel or restaurant, recognizing excellence in accommodation and dining while also rewarding top-notch customer service. But five-star venues are often not those with the highest turnover or throughput of customers; a boutique country hotel, for example, may offer a far superior experience to the local chain hotel, but its capacity will usually be much smaller.
In foreign exchange trading, it now appears a similar chasm may have opened up between the top-tier global banks that have long dominated the industry in volume terms and the more niche providers that deliver superior service in particular currencies and for different client types. Euromoney's inaugural Five-Star FX rankings identify for the first time those banks that are recognized by their clients to deliver a best-in-class service.
The Five-Star FX rankings recognize providers that scored high ratings across five qualitative areas of client service: salesforce coverage; breadth of product coverage and capacity to deal in size; execution quality; research; and risk management solutions.
State Street and Standard Chartered were the only two institutions to earn a star in each of those five areas, making them five-star global FX providers.
Standard Chartered was also one of the best performers in this year's Euromoney FX survey, rising from 15th place in 2016 to ninth in 2017, with its market share shooting up from 1.82% to 4.26%. The star ranking further underlines that the growth strategy in foreign exchange the bank set itself several years ago is beginning to pay off.
"We recognized that with a vast geographical footprint and phenomenal amounts of FX expertise within the bank, we needed to make sure we have the best people in every country and that we syndicate and distribute relevant information to all of our clients," says Mark Webster, global head of FX sales at Standard Chartered.
The strategy involved identifying internal champions for all of the geographies and products that may interest clients, so that credible information can be fed quickly to where it is needed most. Salespeople can then identify the relevant champion for their clients' needs, ensuring that the necessary services are efficiently deployed.
The importance of local knowledge and expertise is not unique to Standard Chartered. It is probably the most recurrent theme across these rankings. Every institution recognizes that while it might aspire to global coverage and dominant market share, deep knowledge of political and economic developments in individual countries cannot be skimped upon.
Société Générale earned two stars globally – for research and solutions – but its strength in central and eastern Europe was recognized with a five-star ranking there. Marc Zaffran, the bank's global head of FX and emerging market sales, believes a strong local presence across the region dating back many years has allowed it to deliver excellence in sales, trading, research and technology.
The value of consistent pricing is a point echoed by Webster.
Consistent pricing may be a differentiator for clients, but it is not the whole story. In an age of 24-hour news coverage, social media and information overload, the role of research is often overlooked, but it is arguably now more important than ever. In accessing complex or risky emerging markets, participants rely on their counterparties to deliver informed and prescient research to support their decision-making.
Global banks often run central strategy desks that churn out research for particular regions, but it is those firms that are able to combine that content with on-the-ground expertise that differentiate themselves the most.
When a far-flung central bank suddenly raises interest rates or removes a currency floor, for example, portfolio managers need real-time commentary from economists in that market to predict what the impact may be and thereby inform their next steps.
A decision by the Argentinian government in December 2015 to lift currency controls was a case in point. By allowing the Argentine peso to float freely, then newly elected president Mauricio Macri sought to bolster economic growth, but the move sparked a sudden and sharp devaluation of the peso, which left participants in immediate need of informed market commentary.
Citi, which retained an overall lead in this year's Euromoney survey, was one of the few top-tier banks to also penetrate the five-star rankings, scoring a star globally for its provision of risk management solutions and a five-star regional ranking for Latin America.
Xirau believes Citi's global franchise has given the bank an edge over its smaller competitors in the region.
The value of local expertise was highlighted again more recently in April when the Czech National Bank suddenly removed the Czech koruna peg, which sent the currency's value soaring against the euro. Although it was not as globally destabilizing, the move awakened memories of the removal of the Swiss franc floor in 2015, which caused gyrations in the FX market and widespread losses. The Czech floor removal created an opportunity for banks such as Société Générale to leverage their local presence in the Czech Republic.
With the recast Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (Mifid II) set to be implemented in Europe next year, research must now be unbundled from execution and delivered as a paid service in its own right. This will further underscore the importance of strong and credible analysis, as clients will only pay for content that will add value to their business.
Local expertise is not just about delivering timely and relevant research, however. Banks also need a strong grasp of the unique regulatory and political environment in every country in which they are active. While there is no shortage of material available on regulatory changes in western jurisdictions, it becomes more complicated in emerging markets, where information is less readily available and clients often rely on their counterparties to tell them how business should be transacted locally.
The success of banks like Société Générale in CEE and Standard Chartered in Asia suggests that those institutions that have built core strengths and secure client bases in a particular region, currency or product set may be better placed to win favourable ratings from their clients than the top-tier global banks that seek to build or maintain a global FX franchise.
But Citi's success in Latin America suggests it is possible to do both, while Bank of America Merrill Lynch, which climbed from fifth to fourth place in this year's market share survey, also scored a star globally for its risk management solutions and achieved a four-star ranking in North America.
Internal organization of teams is likely to be critical for those top-tier banks that want to provide the best possible service on a local basis. Standard Chartered's strategy of identifying internal champions has clearly served the bank well, while BAML has sought to ensure its sales teams do not get too narrowly focused on their own particular niche.
Technology and execution expertise is also likely to be a differentiator for global banks because, while a regional player might have superior on-the-ground knowledge and experience, it is unlikely to have the same kind of technology budget or trading capabilities as a top-tier competitor.
"Our local clients in this region benefit from the investment we have made in our global trading platforms such as Pulse and Velocity," says Citi's Xirau, "so we can provide differentiated electronic execution and pre- and post-trade services on an integrated basis across most of the region, which many of our competitors cannot.
Park suggests BAML gains similar advantages from its technology, and a global FX franchise also has the advantage of being able to internalize transactions where possible, he says, rather than trading them on the public market, thereby reducing market impact.
But these rankings show that important as technology and market impact may be, they do not preclude smaller, more niche providers from excelling locally. In Asia for example, five stars were not only awarded to Standard Chartered and State Street, but also to E.Sun Bank, a Taipei-based institution that has achieved a strong FX footprint across Taiwan and through its presence in locations including Hong Kong, Singapore, Sydney and Los Angeles.
"We believe E.Sun outperforms its competitors in three main areas," says Peter Shih, head of trading at E.Sun Bank. "We have a comprehensive trading platform and customers can access the service via both physical and virtual channels; we offer a superior service in terms of trading hours; and we seek to innovate in our product offering, including our use of online channels and social media.
For all of the banks that feature in the star rankings, the ultimate question they have had to ask themselves and their clients is: what constitutes a value-added service in foreign exchange today? The answer inevitably varies depending on the region and institution concerned, but it is perhaps those banks that have failed to ask that question and act upon the answers that do not feature in the rankings.
State Street's Hardeman believes that for the firm's institutional clients there are three primary considerations that must be addressed – alpha generation, risk mitigation and access to liquidity. State Street Global Markets has an exclusive partnership with PriceStats, an academic initiative spun out of MIT that provides high-frequency global inflation indices and insight into key macroeconomic variables. She believes this has been a differentiator for its support of alpha generation.
State Street also works with clients to identify and manage risk in multiple ways. It has developed measures of market turbulence and systemic risk that it has found can be very beneficial in managing portfolios during times of high risk.
Systemic risk is measured through an 'absorption ratio', which captures the fragility of equity markets, so that clients can be made aware of when unexpected shocks may be more likely to occur. Meanwhile, 'turbulence indices' provide a daily measure of market turbulence based on the collective unusualness of a given set of investment returns.
Critical as alpha generation and risk management may be, they must be combined with strong and credible pricing and execution capabilities. State Street provides 24-hour client coverage to ensure constant access to liquidity and it has focused on emerging market pricing. With three core pricing centres in London, Boston and Hong Kong, it also prices locally from its Korean and Taiwanese branches, which Hardeman believes has contributed to its five-star rating in Asia.
In drawing conclusions from the star rankings, the core message seems to be that anything is possible. The diversity of banks that scored highly in particular regions shows that both regional and global institutions can earn recognition if they properly apply themselves to the needs of their clients and make sure they have a strong and informed local presence.
Banks that do not feature should perhaps address themselves more directly to their clients, asking them to rate their performance and tell them where they are losing out to competitors. The FX industry is unlikely to stand still over the next 12 months; further innovations and market developments will undoubtedly result in shifting client expectations.
Euromoney's inaugural five-star foreign exchange survey recognizes liquidity providers with exceptional qualitative ratings in particular regions and areas of client service.
Solutions – Provision of risk management strategies.
For a bank to qualify for star consideration in each category, it must receive at least 10 votes or 5% of the total votes cast (whichever is greater) for at least one question in that category.
In each category, clients rank liquidity providers on a scale of one to seven, with one being the top and indicating exceptional quality in that area of service. Scores are derived from these rankings by applying a numeric weighting of seven to a first-place ranking, six for second place, and so on.
To determine the stars in each category, the average scores for each question earned by a qualifying bank in that category are totalled and divided by the number of questions in that category to achieve an equal-weighted average.
The bank with the highest average score in each category receives a star. Any other bank within 5% of that high average score receives a star.

« Destination Cape Coral Fast track to November»
Fly high, Ozzie
We were among those shocked to hear this week that Ozzie, the patriarch of a popular eagle pair whose nesting habits have been followed worldwide, had succumbed to injuries suffered just weeks after his release from an unrelated rehabilitation at CROW on Sanibel.
While we understand the inclination to anthropomorphize the pair, we'll leave that to others as the majesty of the raptors and their long history in North Fort Myers is story enough for us.
The mated pair dubbed Ozzie and Harriet are believed to have staked out their nesting territory off and around Bayshore Road more than 20 years ago.
When their long-time nest site was no longer available to them, they moved a short distance away, building a new nest in a towering pine on the Dick Pritchett Real Estate property.
Thinking others might want to enjoy seeing nature unfold, the Pritchett family launched the Southwest Florida Eagle Cam.
Using non-obtrusive and silent cameras, strategically placed, viewers got a 24-7 look into the life of an American bald eagle nesting pair. From mating behavior and nest enhancement to the laying of eggs, from eaglet hatching to nurturing and feeding, from fledging to flight, the cam provided a unique look at an annual lifecycle.
And it was an immediate success.
During the 2012-2013 nesting season, - October through May - an estimated 16 million viewers logged on to watch Ozzie and Harriet successfully raise a brood of two.
But, as fans learned the very next season, nature isn't a Disney movie - the pair lost one of their nestlings, as they did this year as well.
Then Ozzie was found injured, perhaps after colliding with a car. His rehab with a broken clavicle healed at CROW was followed closely, and his release back home in June was greeted with, literally, worldwide jubilation.
But 20-plus years is old for an eagle in the wild. A younger male, whose age was estimated at 5, moved in to take over the nesting territory and the two fought, with Ozzie breaking bones in his feet and suffering some wounds as he fought to retain his turf.
He was found on the ground in a North Fort Myers yard on Sunday, with two broken toes and some deep gashes, including some caused by an entanglement with barbed wire.
Ozzie was brought back to CROW and it was hoped that, with treatment and some strong antibiotics, he would survive.
He did not.
Despite the efforts of one of the most qualified teams in the country to affect successful treatment and recovery, Ozzie died Tuesday night, most likely due to the extent of the infection that had entered his bloodstream.
The Southwest Florida Eagle Cam has said it best: He is flying free forever.
We thank the Pritchett family for allowing a world community to come together for a common experience we were all lucky to share.
As of Thursday, the cameras were turned back on, as they have been for the last three years at the start of the nesting season. Harriet is still on-site and the cycle of life continues.
A big thank you is also due to CROW. The Clinic for the Rehabilitation of Wildlife does a stellar job of protecting, rescuing, treating, rehabbing and releasing not only injured eagles, but native creatures of all kinds.
Donations are always needed and are always welcome.

like chrome or firefox has tabbed web pages? not sure what this box is for, i would just like to know if there are or will be tabbed browsing in libo's writer? having my doc's as tabs and to b able to switch between them would be very productive.
I think your question and general description could use some serious improvement. What specifically are you envisaging the tabs across the top of the Writer window representing? A section (Insert > Section...), a page (e.g., page style), some other user-defined part of a document, or a whole document (ODT)?
How such a facility might be implemented and managed depends on a lot of different factors, depending on what it is you have in mind. It may require ODF specification support if you have some sub-division of a single document in mind. Alternatively, it could easily require extensive User Experience (UX) / User Interface (UI) code re/writing and possibly even a rework of the memory management.
Remember that an ODF can be large - significantly larger and more complex than a web page. Having several open at once could consume a lot of RAM. I realised you have tagged your question with the writer tag, but this type of interface change could effectively apply to all components.
FDO#31481: Side-by-side windows / split pane. Not tabs but related to the general idea and even being suggested as a possible combination with tabs as shown in this mock-up. Note however that this is a Writer-specific enhancement. Heavily debated in the original AOO#19291 bug. AOO#38551 about a split screen view for HTML source and display is also related.
FDO#33173: Implement tabbed "divisions" as they exist in Lotus Word Pro. Comment #3 mentions using bookmarks as a possible workaround. Original AOO bug is AOO#20701. These "divisions" appear to be arbitrary and hierarchical.
FDO#37134: Implement a tabbed document interface "similar to Firefox, Opera, gedit." Original AOO bug is AOO#12686. These "divisions" appear to be on a per-document basis.
Feb 2011: Mailing list thread (short) about tabbed windows extensions.
May 2011: Mailing list thread about a Word-like tab-based facility "that allows you to have multiple Word documents own in tabs, like you have for Firefox or IE."
June 2011: Mailing list thread about "tabbed documents a la Lotus Symphony". Above mock-up against fdo#31481 and this one are produced, as is this side-drawer-like alternative concept.
March 2012: Another mailing list UI design mock-up thread.
My personal view is that this facility would appear to involve a lot of work for little gain, but again this is dependent upon what is envisaged.
yes, tabs are never nice and user friendly feature seriously worth considering. Like those use in IE, FIREFOX, CHROME for each new page open. in LO case, each new/recent document open in each respective application. It will be more easy to organise otherwise will crowd the taskbar.
I would prefer to use the side-by-side windows with a split pane. It is useful when answering lengthy or complex mail. It is also helpful when comparing two different documents. I can't tell from this page whether this is already available or not? If so, can you point me to the process for splitting the pane or opening two documents side/side?
This feature is not currently available. The first bullet point in my answer gives links to the related open bugs (enhancement requests).
I'm an author, and with every project I start, I have at least three documents that contain information I need to refer to. Having those on a tabbed interface is perfect for me, then I can switch between them really easily. The little windows on the taskbar are far more inconvenient. A tabbed interface can be set to not operate at all, or to show only when there is more than one document open. Since they're open anyway, adding a more convenient way to switch between documents wouldn't add much.

Tonto Dikeh bares all in 3-part video about her ex-husband Olakunle Churchill
Actress Tonto Dikeh has gone public on her former husband, Olakunle Churchill, revealing details about their relationship, including what transpired in the bedroom.
She made the revelations in a three-part video published on her You Tube channel King Tonto Dikeh.
She spoke about how she met Churchill in a night club several years ago, after she just came out of another relationship that went sour and left her an emotional wreck.
For her, she clicked to Churchill to fill the emotional gap, after she lost a Mr.X that she had hoped would be her man for life.
In the video, she accused Churchill of smearing her in serial interviews, and in making the video, she wanted to set the records straight, for the sake of her son.
She spoke about her marriage and how it crashed, the various lies of Churchill and also accused him of being involved in fraudulent activities, known in Nigeria as "yahoo'.
"After I came back from giving birth to my son, I had been suspecting that he was into Yahoo…before I even came back to Nigeria I had already begun to suspect but the only thing that made me confirm was the night that he wasn't supposed to be home and I slept early because of my son. I heard some noise in his room because he's in the penthouse and my room is under.
"So, I heard a noise upstairs, nobody was supposed to be in that room. I opened up this room, I saw a full-grown man wearing a red cloth in his waist with red candles everywhere around him with a laptop in his hands. Immediately I saw that I was shocked, I was simply shocked. I was not scared but I was shocked. I just started laughing and he got me and that was one of the first fights we had after I had King." Tonto said.
Please listen to her three-part emotional video story:

Google is joining Apple in trying to allay spying fears.
Apple isn't the only company scrambling to reassure the public that it has fixed most of the CIA exploits revealed in WikiLeaks' latest disclosure. Google tells CNET it's "confident" that security patches and safeguards already protect you against "many" of the exploits in both Android and the Chrome web browser. The internet giant will also "implement any further necessary protections" for flaws that have yet to be patched.
The statement isn't completely shocking, as some of WikiLeaks' data goes back as far as 2013. Even if you have an older Android phone, there's a chance that Google patched at least some of the security holes in an update you received a long time ago. The problem, as you may know, is that Android vendors are inconsistent in delivering operating system updates, let alone Google's monthly security patches. There's a chance that older devices will remain vulnerable simply because their manufacturer ended support too soon or decided to skip a relevant security update.
The good news: WikiLeaks has offered to cooperate with tech companies wanting to plug any remaining CIA holes. Provided Assange and crew live up to their end of the bargain, Google will breathe a little easier. It won't have to worry so much about its own flaws as it will convincing its hardware partners to step up their security efforts.

Satire or Deceit? Christian Humor Site Feuds With Snopes
2:49pm, 3rd August, 2019
"A clumsy mistake or an incompetent writer are insufficient explanations for publishing something like this when you position yourself as an unbiased, stalwart arbiter of truth and presume to wield the influence that comes along with that title," he wrote.
In a recent newsletter, the Bee said a past Snopes fact-check had prompted Facebook, which was then in a fact-checking partnership with Snopes, to "threaten us with limitations and demonetization." Facebook eventually acknowledged the mistake and said the Bee piece — about CNN buying industrial washing machines to "spin" news — "should not have been rated false in our system."
Snopes pulled out of the Facebook partnership in February, but some critics of the recent fact-check have argued that Snopes's actions could still affect the Bee's Facebook presence, a suggestion Mr. Mikkelson disputes.
"We have absolutely no ability to demonetize, deplatform, blacklist anybody," he said. "We have no means to stop anyone from publishing on a particular platform or to limit their reach."
Snopes determines what to cover based on reader input via email, Facebook and Twitter as well as what's trending on Google, social media and its own website searches. As a result, it often covers claims and satire that, to many, may seem obviously false or intentionally humorous.
"Some people just don't get or are not very good at recognizing uses of sarcasm or irony or archness," Mr. Mikkelson said.
In the Fox News appearance, Mr. Dillon, the Bee chief executive, seemed to acknowledge that.
"There's people who aren't familiar with us who are seeing our stuff," he said. "So if they want to fact-check it, fine. You can rate it false, you can rate it satire, ideally, and just say 'Hey, this came from the Bee, it's obviously satire, they're a well-known satire publication.' That would be as far as it needs to go."

Olivier Brique, VP Cybersecurity Technology of Swiss company Kudelski offered us an insightful and dynamic dive into the history of his company, initially producing high quality microphone before developing Pay-TV solution and finally announcing, on the 21st of last month, a new cyber security division.
But before talking about the new division officially launched two weeks after this presentation, Olivier gave us more details of what a Pay-TV solution was composed of, how it evolved and how it was attacked. Based on the first attacks back in the end 1990's, Kudelski developed an internal intelligence unit, gathering information on internet and monitoring forums talking about reverse engineering smart cards. At the same time, efforts for research and development were done on various fronts, especially in terms of a lab to test internal products from an attacker's perspective before there are released.
Of course, the cat-and-mouse game continued between the company and hackers. Around 2005, Kudelski launched a new generation of Smart Cards considered as secure but the game did not end there either. With the progress of Internet, attackers could now, using legitimate Smart Cards, decrypt given TV channels and distribute the clear text signal via the network. The emergence of such "Piracy as a Service" platforms owned by organized crime triggered the need of further Internet monitoring from Kudelski and developed internal competences in network forensic. A world-wide network of lawyers was also set up to be able to response to the threat via legal means.
With such a history, starting at securing hardware and becoming an "insurance-safety service", this company featuring 1'000 security engineers on a total of 3'000 employees certainly has some cards to play on the market nowadays. But how does this specific knowledge of Pay-TV apply for other, service oriented, companies such as banks? According to Olivier, strong similarities exist with issues such as migration to cloud services (how to secure data on the move and at rest on uncontrolled and partially untrusted equipment) or Bring-Your-Own-Device (where the device must be resilient against attacks).
The initial slide set, based on Prezi, gave this little added dynamic touch to the whole presentation, which got lost in the PDF versions of the slides. Despite this, I recommend you the read of the slides for further details, especially about all the Pay-TV relevant data. Enjoy viewing the Prezi set, as it will lead you through a dynamic history of Kudelski and of the Pay TV.
Thanks for the summary, Alexandre!
Many thanks for your comment and the link to your presentation, I accordingly updated the blog article.


Danny Barwick's stunning "Room 201" draws inspiration from Charles Bukowski! | Give it a spin!
Barwick's "Room 201" is upbrought on the heels of jazz, but favoring also drips of textured soul and electronica.
The thrumming shadows of melancholy accompany one's ears. The second single off "The Tigers" EP is Danny Barwick's sound of breathing. Vocals traveling you, thousands of miles bringing to mind meticulous haunting music of James Blake, Anthony & The Johnsons (buzzing wise) or King Krule.
The Melbourne-via-Perth singer and producer locks into such bedroom-music shapeshifts using elicit harmonies of the soul, and hypnotic piano/drum programming. It really is a truthful timbre, accompanied by an aesthetic video. Hammering out a "Crunch" from Charles Bukowski, reels off images of an arising talent. Australia is far away from us, however, if Barwick falls near, catch a flawless cathartic spectacle of him live.
