Why Did Jeff Bezos Step Down as Amazon CEO? When Is He Going to Space?
At this point, Jeff Bezos is synonymous with the online powerhouse Amazon, but he's changing his role in the company in a big way. As of July 5, 2021, he's no longer the CEO. From now on, Andy Jassy will take on that role, but Jeff will be the new executive chair and is still the company's largest shareholder, according to CBS.
But why did Jeff step down in the first place? In addition to running Amazon, he's been in charge of different companies over the years. Plus, he and Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group, are involved in a new-age space race.
Why did Jeff Bezos step down?
Even though Jeff is known for Amazon, he's got a bunch of other things to occupy his time. In a blog post to the Amazon staff, he said so. "In the Exec Chair role, I intend to focus my energies and attention on new products and early initiatives," the post says. He goes on to say that he'll still be involved with things having to do with Amazon, but he lists other ventures that he's involved in that he'll have more time for moving forward.
In addition to his work at Amazon, Jeff owns the Day 1 Fund, which invests in non-profits in all kinds of areas from youth centers across the country to homelessness programs, and the Bezos Earth Fund that works to end climate-based issues. On top of that, he also owns The Washington Post and the space exploration company Blue Origin.
When is Jeff Bezos going to space?
According to the Associated Press, Jeff is planning to head to space on July 20, 2021. He chose this date in particular because it's the 52nd anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing. In this launch, he will be traveling into orbit with his brother along with the winner of a $28 million charity auction, as well as his "honored guest" Wally Funk, who is one of the last surviving members of the Mercury 13 space exploration group.
But if Richard Branson has anything to say about it, he's making it to space before Jeff. The AP article also said that just hours after Jeff announced that he would be accompanied by Wally Funk into space on July 20, Richard said he wants to head out the week before.
Now, Richard says he and his space exploration company, Virgin Galactic, will take off on July 11. There's even a countdown on its website. Galactic plans to launch a spacecraft roughly 55 miles into orbit while Blue Origin is planning a 66-mile trip. AP says that both of these distances are considered the "edge of space." As of now, Jeff hasn't responded to Richard publicly.
For whatever reason, Elon Musk has chosen not to get involved in this space race even though he has a space exploration company of his own. Space X also plans on taking paying customers into space just like its competitors, but the company hasn't announced a launch date for July.

Trama
Il signore e la signora Hilton, per la loro festa di fine d'anno, si ripromettono di restare sobri tutta la notte. Ma, appena arrivano i primi ospiti, tutti e due, uno all'insaputa dell'altra, dimenticano i buoni propositi e si ubriacano allegramente. La mattina dopo, il signor Hilton, che si sente ancora male, teme di affrontare la moglie. Poi, però, si accorge che pure lei soffre i postumi di una sbornia e, tutti e due, si sentono altrettanto colpevoli.

Produzione
Il film fu prodotto dalla Biograph Company.

Distribuzione
Distribuito dalla Biograph, il film - un cortometraggio di 140 metri - uscì in sala negli statunitensi il 30 dicembre 1909.

To FOLLOW ON with the FOLLOW ON
The Hampshire side v Warwickshire at Edgbaston 1922. Hampshire all out 15, followed on and won by a substantial margin. This is the second such occasion (see below) – and the most recent? (Watch this space)
The Most Exciting?
Hampshire's website carries an article by Neil Evans about the ground developments, Royals franchise etc describing this time as "arguably the most exciting period of Hampshire's illustrious history". Well this site is all about history and there's nothing like sport to encourage a good argument so …
I don't wish to suggest that these are not interesting times since they certainly are but I'd love to hear what others think. Clearly any judgements of this kind depend on many factors – not merely facts but memories and experiences. For many reasons I'd like to nominate the Championship win of 1961 as the best of the lot, but while I saw that team, I was too young to appreciate it fully.
So for me the most "exciting period" is quite simply from the start of the 1973 season through to the penultimate game of the following year when Hampshire were easily the finest Championship team in the country. The end of 1974 was a soggy disappointment but it doesn't alter the fact that Gilliat's side were magnificent and in the end, nothing can beat the excitement of what happens on the field. Every day I expected them to win – usually with ease – and I've never known that feeling since in quite the same way.
What period would you nominate?
(picture above v Derbyshire at Portsmouth 1973)
Another Site to Visit
There's another Blog of broader cricket interest but maintained by a man originally from Hampshire. Read here about the Hampshire of 'Shack', Roy Marshall, Jimmy Gray etc
http://downatthirdman.wordpress.com/
The Hampshire side that took the field for their first County Championship match v Somerset at Taunton in 1895. They won that first game after following-on. Hampshire have achieved this on two other occasions – do you know when?
Overseas Players
60 years ago Roy Marshall created such an impression at Hampshire that he became their first overseas player of modern times, although South African CB Llewellyn had played very effectively from 1899-1910. Oddly, Hampshire's RM Poore played for South Africa against England in South Africa in 1896 simply because he was stationed there in the British Army – he was born in Ireland.
Antiguan Danny Livingstone played through the 1960s and held the catch that won the first title. The instant registration of overseas players began in 1968 with Barry Richards joining Hampshire and two years later Gordon Greenidge, born in Barbados but raised in Reading, followed him. Andy Roberts came from 1973 by which time others like Larry Worrell, John Holder and Dave O'Sullivan had also represented Hampshire.
This year Hampshire have signed three official overseas players: Ajantha Mendis (Sri Lanka), and Shahid Afridi & Abdul Razzaq from Pakistan, for Twenty20 plus South African Neil McKenzie (as a 'Kolpack'). Previous Pakistan players have included Aqib Javed (1991) and Wasim Akram – Mendis will be the second Sri Lankan (after C Vaas) and there have been a number of West Indians, Australians and Southern Africans. There have also been Hampshire players born in Germany, Holland, Japan, Shanghai, USA, Maraciabo – but oddly never an Indian cricketer.
The only exceptions have been a number of British cricketers who were born in India in the days of the Empire including Beadle, Bradford, Cadogan, Evans, Hesketh-Pritchard, Wynyard and CR Young who, at 15 is the youngest man ever to have represented the county.
But while Tendulkar, Ganguly, Laxman, Shastri and others have graced the English county game, not one has ever come to Hampshire.
Alan Edwards (Editor Hampshire Cricket Society Newsletter) asks about the value of "differentiation" between players registered as overseas and those like John Holder or Cardigan Connor, born abroad but "counting as English". This is absolutely right – especially pre-Kolpack – when men like Holder and Connor were living and working in England and not representing the country of their birth, whereas someone like David O'Sullivan came from New Zealand specifically to play cricket professionally. These days someone like Neil McKenzie can do that without counting as 'overseas'. Incidentally off-spinner Larry Worrell (a relative of the great man) had been in the Army in Britain.
ANNIVERSARIES 2010 (UPDATED)
Some additions (plus original list) from Alan Edwards (HCS):>
It's 10 Years since we played our last matches at Northlands Road, Southampton and Portsmouth and our initial (2nd XI) matches on the two Rose Bowl grounds
It's 25 Years (1985) since Mark Nicholas took over as captain and Hampshire finished as runners-up in the Championship. In the penultimate match, Roger Harper hit the final ball for six to give Northants victory
It's 30 years (1980) since we were last bottom of the Championship – the only time since 1905
It's 35 years (1975) since we won our first limited-overs title, the John Player Sunday League.
It's 40 years (1970) since Gordon Greenidge made his first-class debut for Hampshire and 60 years (1950) since Roy Marshall played his first match in Hampshire and scored a century for the West Indies. Neville Rogers replied with one for Hampshire.
It's 50 years since Derek Shackleton recorded his best bowling figures of 9-30 v Warwickshire at Portsmouth
It's 55 years (1955) since Hampshire finished third in the County Championship for the first time.
It's 100 years (1910) since CB Llewellyn (see overseas above) completed a Hampshire 'double' – the first time any Hampshire player had done this entirely in Hampshire matches. Incidentally the last time was Jim Bailey in 1948 although Peter Sainsbury came very close in 1971.
It's 110 years (1900) since Hampshire first played West Indies (not first-class)
It's 130 years since a Hampshire side (XVIII) first played (and lost to) the Australians
It's 235 years (!!) since John Small scored the first century for Hampshire (often then known as Hambledon) – 136 v Surrey in 1775
More to follow – but please add your own

Council Approves Alley Transfer For Bayfront Redevelopment Project
Sep 09,2021 by Shawn Soper
A new two-story bayfront establishment is proposed for the Atlantic Beach House property with nearly 9,000 square feet of dining areas, including over 700 square feet on a rooftop terrace and other amenities. Rendering by Fisher Architecture
OCEAN CITY — Satisfied with accommodations made by the developer, resort officials this week signed off on a proposed land swap to pave the way for the redevelopment of a decades-old midtown restaurant and nightclub.
Last December, the Planning Commission reviewed a proposed site plan for the redevelopment of the old BJ's on the Water property along the bayfront at 75th Street. The property has since been sold to another popular resort restaurant group Ropewalk, which plans to develop the bayfront eatery Windward OC on the site.
The Ropewalk group has been operated the restaurant in its original footprint this summer as the Atlantic Beach House, but the long-term plan calls for the old restaurant to be torn down and replaced with a new two-story establishment on the same site with a sandy beachfront along the water, nearly 9,000 square-feet of dining areas including over 700 square feet on a rooftop terrace and other amenities.
The project will go through multiple layers of the approval process, but the planning commission in December gave its blessing to the redevelopment concept. Last month, the Mayor and Council had before them a request to close a city-owned, seldom-used east-west alley between 74th Street and 75th Street to accommodate the redevelopment project.
Essentially what is a paper alley would be needed to accommodate the expanded parking for the establishment. Under the proposal, the town would convey the 100-foot paper alley to the property owner. In exchange, the property owner would convey an easement to the town for a 100-foot section of alley that runs north-to-south between the existing parking lot and the back of the Quiet Storm surf shop.
That alley already exists and is 10 feet wide, allowing for vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic between 75th and 74th streets. With the property owner conveying an easement to the town at 10 feet wide, the north-south alley would essentially become a 20-foot wide alley. In a nutshell, the property owners would gain access to the under-utilized 100-foot east-west alley between 74th and 75th streets, while the town would get an expanded 20-foot alley running north to south between 74th and 75th streets.
However, when the land swap was first proposed last month, it was pointed out there was a utility pole in the portion of the public right-of-way the town was getting in exchange for the paper east-west alley, which would impede vehicle, bicycle and pedestrian traffic and limit the use of the entire 20-foot right-of-way. While the Mayor and Council didn't object to the concept of the land swap, they wanted some assurances from the developer that the utility pole would be relocated.
Attorney Joe Moore, representing the developer, at the time said he could not make that promise, but that he would go back to the Ropewalk ownership group and work out some arrangement to relocate the utility pole in the right-of-way.
On Tuesday, City Engineer Terry McGean reported to the Mayor and Council the developer had agreed to foot the cost of relocating the utility pole out of the right-of-way. In addition, the developer has agreed to repave the north-south alley when the property is redeveloped.
"This is a continuation of a discussion from a couple of weeks ago," he said. "They want us to relinquish the rights to an east-west alley in exchange for a 10-foot easement on the north-west alley in the same block. There is a utility pole in the easement that would impede the use of the alley, but the developer has agreed to pay the cost of relocating that pole, so those issues have been resolved."
Councilman Mark Paddack thanked Moore and his clients for making the accommodations to complete the alley swap.
"Thank you to you and your clients for agreeing to fund moving that pole out of the public right-of-way," he said. "It's going to be a benefit to everybody involved. That's a great example of collaboration."
During the discussion last month, McGean said the utility pole would have to be relocated in such a way as to keep the entire length of the north-south alley between 74th Street and 75th Street aligned properly. The alley currently runs behind the existing Station 3 firehouse at 74th Street, but that firehouse will eventually be closed and with new structure to be constructed at 65th Street.
In the end, the council voted unanimously to declare the existing east-west alley to be transferred to the developer to have no real public use. In a second motion, the council voted to schedule a public hearing on the proposed alley swap.

The commitment and innovation of women working to improve life in rural Australia has been recognised across the country with seven finalists in the running for the 2014 RIRDC Rural Women's Award.
Minister for Agriculture, Barnaby Joyce, congratulated the nominees—one from each state and the Northern Territory—and welcomed their chance to make a tangible difference to the economic and social development of rural communities.
"Australia is lucky to have so many strong and dedicated women who are leaders in their communities and inspire others by demonstrating a real passion to implement their visions for our primary industries," Minister Joyce said.
"The projects put forward by this year's finalists tackle some of the biggest issues facing rural women and their communities, including finding ways to influence farm profitability, promoting careers in primary industries and land management, encouraging more rural women to pursue careers in business and a range of education programmes for landholders."
"As Australia's top prize for rural women, this award also presents a unique opportunity for primary industries and rural communities to embrace diversity in leadership to successfully navigate future challenges," Minister Joyce said.
The awards provide emerging leaders with financial and professional support, access to a network of mentors and development opportunities. Finalists in the awards are selected based on both their commitment to rural Australia and a project or "vision" they want to implement that will benefit rural people and or rural industries and communities.
The national winner will be announced on 24 September at the 2014 RIRDC Rural Women's Award National Celebratory Dinner, to be held at Parliament House in Canberra.

Who is at Fault in a Pedestrian Accident?
In North Carolina in 2015, 195 pedestrians died in motor vehicle accidents, according to the North Carolina Department of Transportation. In total, 8.4 percent of all pedestrians who were involved in a collision lost their lives.
Because pedestrian accidents are so often fatal and often cause serious injuries, it is important to determine who is at fault for causing an accident when a pedestrian and car collide. The person who is at fault for the crash is the individual legally liable for crash losses. This means if a driver was to blame, the driver must compensate the pedestrian or his family for all the harm the pedestrian accident caused to occur.
Both drivers and pedestrians could potentially be at fault for auto accidents. A driver may be at fault in a pedestrian accident if the driver was speeding, moved through an intersection illegally, or did not stop at a crosswalk. A pedestrian may be found at fault if they crossed in the middle of a street, crossed outside of a crosswalk, crossed against a signal, walked into the roadway while intoxicated, or walked along an area where pedestrian access is prohibited.
When a pedestrian is struck by a vehicle, a Charlotte pedestrian accident lawyer can help to determine who is at fault. If a pedestrian was hurt and a driver was to blame, an attorney can help to pursue a claim for compensation from the driver who caused crash losses.
A pedestrian hurt in an accident should be entitled to be repaid for economic and non-financial loss, while family members of a pedestrian killed in a collision should be provided with wrongful death damages by the driver responsible for the accident. Contact an attorney to get help making a pedestrian accident claim and proving who should be held liable because he was at fault for the crash.

Price varies depending on the school. You will want to contact the school you plan to take the exam at for their specific price. However, the normal price ranges anywhere from $20 to $25.
What are the different testing options?
HSPT Flashcards. Proven HSPT test flashcards raise your score on the HSPT test. Guaranteed.
Open HSPT: This option for the exam consists of schools purchasing testing materials and scores locally. This option also provides national normative measures in the five skill areas a student will be tested on.
Pre HSPT: This option is for seventh-grade students. With this option, schools can lease Pre-HSPT materials and receive pre-HSPT standard scoring services. The school will also receive Student Performance Profiles, and Student Score Reports. The Pre-HSPT is also referred to as the closed HSPT.
Large Print, Braille and audio versions: These are special materials and are available upon request.
Who normally takes the exam?
The exam is normally given to 8th graders going into private high schools.
The exam is broken down into five different sections and consists of about 298 multiple-choice questions. You will have 3-hours to complete it.
What will the HSPT test me on?
This section of the exam consists of 60 questions and deals with logic, antonyms, synonyms, and verbal classifications.
The reading section of the exam consists of 62 questions and deals with topics such as vocabulary, finding the main idea, and details.
The mathematics section of the exam consists of 64 questions and focuses on basic geometry, arithmetic, and algebra.
You will need to know proper math formulas, the order of operations, and measurement conversions.
The language section of the exam consists of 60 questions and will test the student's knowledge of punctuation, spelling, composition, and capitalization.
It is important that you familiarize yourself with correct punctuation usage and rules.
This section of the exam consists of 52 questions and tests your ability to solve reasoning problems that involve numbers and quantities. You will also be dealing with number series, number manipulations, and geometric and non-geometric quantitative comparisons.
The verbal skills section and the quantitative section of the exam makes up your total Cognitive Skills Quotient, while the language, mathematics, and reading sections make up your total Basic Skills score.
Will I lose points for guessing?
No. The HSPT is scored based on how many answers you get correct. You will receive one point for every question you answer correctly. That being said, you should avoid leaving questions unanswered.
There is no "passing" score for the HSPT. However, what you receive on the exam must fall between a certain scale, which is between 200 to 800. 200 is the lowest score you can get and 800 is the highest. In order to do well, you will want to score at least a 600. You will receive a composite score which lets your school know your total performance on the exam based on all five skill areas.
Normative scores can be broken down into five different scores that include National Percentile (NP) Rank, which shows where you stand compared to other students in the same grade on a national basis; Local Percentile (LP) Rank, which compares your score to other students in the same grade at a local level; Grade Equivalents (GE) compares your performance with the average performance of other students at different grade levels; Cognitive Skills Quotient (CSQ), which is used to predict your future academic performance; and Standard Scores (SS) range from 200 to 800.
Rank-Order List Reports: This report ranks students from high to low based on the composite scores they obtained.
Pressure Sensitive Labels: This score shows the cognitive skills quotient (CSQ) of each student, as well as their standard scores, their national and local percentiles, and their grade equivalents for the basic skills section of the exam.
Group Summary Statistical Reports: This report is a summary of an overall group's performance on each subtest. The individual performance is also listed.
Alphabetical List Reports: This report lists students in alphabetical order and goes on to provide cognitive skills quotients (CSQ), as well as standard scores, national and local percentiles, and each student's grade equivalents for the basic skills section of the exam.
How many times am I able to take the HSPT?
It is recommended that you take the HSPT one time, so you should prepare as much as possible before your scheduled exam date. If you do choose to take the exam again, your lowest score will be reported.
Are calculators allowed for the math section of the exam?
Unfortunately, calculators are not permitted for the exam. You will be given scratch paper to work out any math problems.
On the day of the exam, you will want to arrive at least fifteen minutes early.
During the exam, it is important to listen and to read all directions carefully.
Use scratch paper for any mathematics questions because calculators are not permitted.
Answer every question to the best of your ability. Remember, you will not lose points for guessing.
Pay attention to how much time you have for each section and pace yourself. Test proctors should announce how much time you have left for each section.
Check your work if there is enough time left to do so.
If you've been looking for a study resource that contains everything you need to know for the HSPT in a clear and easy to understand way, look no further. Mometrix Test Preparation is the perfect study resource for those looking to score high on their HSPT. Mometrix has designed both a study guide and flashcards that contain content and questions similar to what you will find on the HSPT.

Charles Lucièn Lambert (Lucièn Lambert Sr.; * 1828 oder 1829 in New Orleans; † 1896) war ein US-amerikanischer Komponist.

Der Sohn des Musikers Charles Richard Lambert, der einer der Lehrer Edmond Dédés war, und einer kreolischen Mutter hatte wie sein Halbbruder Sidney Lambert den ersten Musikunterricht bei seinem Vater. In den 1850er Jahren lebte er in Paris, wo 1854 seine erste Komposition, das Klavierstück L'Angélus au monastère: Prière erschien. In Frankreich wurde 1858 sein Sohn Lucien-Léon Guillaume Lambert geboren, der ebenfalls als Komponist bekannt wurde.

In den 1860er Jahren ging Lambert mit seiner Familie nach Brasilien, wo er ein Klavier- und Musikaliengeschäft eröffnete und schließlich Mitglied des Brazilian National Institute of Music. 1869 trat er mit seinem Sohn in einem der Konzerte auf, die Louis Moreau Gottschalk in einer Besetzung mit mehr als dreißig Pianisten veranstaltete. Später wurde er der erste Lehrer des 1863 geborenen brasilianischen Komponisten Ernesto Nazareth.

Neben Klavierstücken komponierte Lambert auch die vieraktige Oper La flamenca nach einem Libretto von Henri Cain und Eugène Edward Adenis, die 1899 im Druck erschien und am Pariser Théâtre Municipal uraufgeführt wurde.

While a permanent facility was being installed to handle greater volumes of incoming traffic, Port of Felixstowe required a temporary structure which enabled goods to be unloaded from multiple individual shipping containers simultaneously and decanted into a storage and testing facility.
We supplied a 25m x 25m temporary storage structure on a 5m eave, linked to five retractable tunnels, each 3m in length, providing an incredibly versatile protective environment.
By integrating five independent retractable tunnels as part of the temporary storage facility – with the option of tunnels operating independently or together – the Port's unloading capacity was increased, providing a controlled protective environment for goods being moved to the building from some of the 4 million containers arriving at the port each year.
The structure, erected in double-quick time, features a special uPVC cavity wall system, a double-skinned thermos-insulated roof, and roller-shutter doors. It is acting as a holding area which is connected to the main warehouse by a weatherproof link.

After a hearing in the British Parliament on March 28 about the "dark" money from Russia invested in the economy of the United Kingdom, many critics of the Kremlin were inspired: for the first time in Britain, where the rich and super-rich Russians have invested billions of dollars over the past 15-20 years , found a way to effectively respond to both the chemical attack in Salisbury and the general aggressive attitude of Moscow towards Europe and the West in general.
This example, according to economic experts, could be followed by other European countries, as well as the United States.In any case, this is what those who believe that Moscow should be punished for attempts to undermine Western democracies and for the annexation of the territory of neighboring countries.
Anders Aslund: We need to answer Putin and his friends by freezing their assets
In the Washington Post article "Time to Deal with Vladimir Putin's Money in the West," Anders Aslund – an economic adviser to the Russian government in the early 1990s and now writing a book on clan capitalism in Putin's Russia – says that the money that has been siphoned off by the current the president of Russia and his entourage, huge.
"Boris Nemtsov, who was killed near the Kremlin, and the still active opposition politician Vladimir Milov exposed this kleptocracy in their brochure" Putin and Gazprom "in 2008 … General estimates point to the personal enrichment of Putin and his closest friends in the amount of 20 to 25 billion dollars a year, since 2006. Nemtsov and Milov reflected in their document the theft of $ 60 billion from Gazprom from 2004 to 2007, and this is probably just over half of their enrichment, which has only increased since then. By now, this group could accumulate from 240 to 300 billion US dollars "- reminds Aslund in his article..
The expert speaks of the need for the Magnitsky Law and the US Treasury Department's sanctions in relation to those involved in the annexation of Crimea, but complains about the ineffectiveness of these rules:
"So far, unfortunately, these new laws have not been particularly effective as the US government has only found a few million dollars of their assets.".
The volumes of "dark" money pouring into the US economy, according to Anders Aslund, are gigantic:
"In 2015, the US Treasury estimated that $ 300 billion was laundered in the United States per year. In a good year, the US government discovers 0.1 percent of that money, according to Raymond Baker, founder of Global Financial Integrity. Cause? Anonymous companies are allowed to invest in this country ".
"This needs to be stopped for the sake of national security. The best British and American asymmetric response to the Kremlin's hybrid war is to uncover and freeze the holdings of Putin and his sanctioned friends in our countries, "suggests Anders Åslund.
Boris Zilberman: The US authorities began to look closely at the control over the origin of money a year and a half ago
Boris Zilberman, an expert on Russia and Eurasia at the Center for the Defense of Democracies, in an interview with the Russian service of the Voice of America, notes that the US authorities have already thought about what Anders Aslund is talking about:
"The Congress is now carefully considering this problem, looking at what companies are buying real estate, this is being paid attention to by the Committee on Banking and Financial Services..
First of all, of course, they look at who is the real owner. There is a very definite movement in Congress towards clarifying such final beneficiaries who acquire expensive houses in New York, Miami or California, in order to remove the ambiguity in the question of where the investor came from ".
Zilberman says that it was only recently that interest in the issue has really been shown:
"This problem began to be taken seriously by Congress about a year and a half ago, when we took a closer look at what was happening both at home and from allies, in particular in London, where Russian oligarchs are buying up entire neighborhoods and using shell companies to buy property with money. taken offshore from Russia ".
The expert compares the penetration of Russian money into Britain and the United States: "Of course, Russian money has penetrated into the British financial system much deeper than into the US system – firstly, because the British system is smaller and more accessible for penetration. This was the case initially, when back in the 1990s, Russian wealthy people began buying properties in Britain, and this continued until the mid-2000s. But in the past ten years, we have seen a different trend, when Russian oligarchs began to come to the United States, their wives began to come here to give birth or brought children to receive American citizenship, and began to buy real estate in Florida ".
Currently, according to Boris Zilberman, Russian money still does not meet obstacles in the United States, especially if it is not clear at first glance that it is Russian:
"The rules are very easy, banks are not obliged to ask where the money actually came from, they do not need to know the buyer, and in this situation it is quite easy to hide where the money actually came from. While everything, I would say, is very careless ".
"Now the real owner is established only if a special investigation is carried out, or, for example, there is a divorce procedure: the data is disclosed, and it becomes clear who owned this or that asset. Actually, that's why we don't really have a clear picture of who bought what: it could be citizens of Russia or China who received money for this purchase as a result of illegal actions. We establish this only from time to time, we do not have a system or rules that would clearly regulate the solution of this problem, "says Boris Zilberman.
At the same time, a specialist on Russia says that Congress is considering two bills (True Incorporation Transparency for Law Enforcement Act and Counter Terrorism and Illicit Finance Act), which are designed to solve this problem:
"There are legislative proposals that have been submitted to Congress by representatives of both parties, but they have not yet been adopted. Their adoption would be the first step in creating a system of effective control over who actually owns what. It is clear that the financial sector is not very interested in this kind of control: if there is money on the market, they want it, and this is a common problem. ".
Vladislav Inozemtsev: we need to stop trading Russian stocks
The well-known Russian economist Vladislav Inozemtsev, in a commentary for the Voice of America, said that Washington has the most powerful, but also the most dangerous, financial leverage over Moscow:
"The United States has the option of an extreme measure – to freeze Russian investments in the bonds of the US Federal Reserve. Russian government agencies – the Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank – sit in US government securities worth tens of billions of dollars. But this, in fact, would be a declaration of war, because this is a direct seizure of someone else's property ".
"This has already happened, the so-called" Iranian option ", but there were still UN sanctions against Iran, and then any large developing country, be it Saudi Arabia or China, will think ten times over whether to invest in the American economy. And this is not a joke: China has more than a trillion dollars of these investments, so I think no one will go for this, "warns Inozemtsev.
According to the economist, those wishing to influence the Kremlin through the economy should go the other way: "I would say that a ban on listing Russian companies on the London Stock Exchange would be a more serious blow. Their securities are quoted mainly in London, there are 80 percent of Russian stock exchange securities, and if they are kicked out of there, then I think it will be a very strong blow. All major investors are guided by the prices that prevail in the London market.
The very fact of such a decision will knock the capitalization of Russian companies down by ten percent, and this will be a serious blow to the oligarchic structures that are close to Putin. ".
"I assume that both the American and British governments have the ability to prohibit their country's financial institutions from banning investments in Russian financial assets altogether. Or at least – companies with state participation: Sberbank, Gazprom, Rosneft, Surgutneftegaz. If all Western banks and companies receive a clear instruction not to invest in Russian debt, but to sell what they have by January 1, 2019, this will bring down the Russian borrowing market, "the economist is convinced..
Vladislav Inozemtsev explains why access to loans to the world market is important for the Russian authorities: "Given the current oil prices, Russia does not need to attract additional serious funds, but it always wants to have access to the market. If such a measure is introduced, the risks to Russia will simply go off scale, and even among private banks there will be very few people willing to invest. China, which Russia strongly hoped for in 2014 after the introduction of the first sanctions, by and large, did not give Russia any money – only for future oil and gas supplies to several companies, but this is not much ".
The economist believes that a blow to Russian securities in the markets will be more effective than freezing the assets of individuals: "The Magnitsky Law is certainly the correct act, because those who commit lawlessness must be punished, but it is still weaning, freezing the property of individuals, it is always for whom something gives off voluntarism. It seems to me that it is necessary to consider the Russian state as a single criminal group, and everything that has a state trace – the same Eurobonds, shares and loans of state-owned companies, or companies with state participation – should be made the target of some measures of influence ".

Team Managers Plan Tourney to Crown Nation's Best
Posted by Kenny Ocker (@KennyOcker) on February 19th, 2016
How do you determine which school has the best managers? Is it the school whose white uniforms are the whitest? The school with the most perfectly folded towels? The school where managers grab the most rebounds during practice? How about a 64-team basketball tournament with the final four teams meeting at the real Final Four in Houston? That last one is the dream of Michigan State managers Ian May and Andrew Novak, and Spartans' assistant athletic director Kevin Pauga. But once that idea was on the table, even more questions emerged: How do you play? What if you can't play every game? When's the best time to play? How do you fit it into a bracket, still have fun and draw attention to the hard-working managers?
Imagine showing up to a pickup game and Juan Dixon is on the opposing team. That was the athletic predicament that some are now facing. (AP)
May formed a Twitter account in January 2015, @B1GManagerHoops, to track Big Ten managers' basketball games last season, and enlisted Novak to help run it a short time later. The conference had informal manager games dating back at least to Pauga's time as a manager – which started in 2000 – but the Twitter account and corresponding blog catalogued results and kept conference standings for the manager teams of the 14 schools for the first time. An online group message on the GroupMe app allowed the Big Ten managers to schedule games much more easily than they ever had before. "I made the Twitter account because I heard that teams were keeping their own records and there was a phone notepad, a little scratched-together thing of records that I got a hold of, and then from there I just started keeping track and I would gather up the scores just from people tweeting at me just in the Big Ten," May said. "And then we had the same ambitions for this year, which was doing the Big Ten, and then all of a sudden we started getting scores from around the country." Read the rest of this entry »

Site Seeing – An Early Look At NCAA Tournament Subregionals
Posted by Andrew Gripshover on January 22nd, 2016
We're exactly two months away from the opening Thursday of the NCAA Tournament. While it's popular to examine bracketologies and bubble watches in advance of Selection Sunday, the jostling at the top of the bracket for protected seeds and preferential geography is less discussed but potentially as important as seed-lines and the last teams in and out of the field. We're at the point in the season when it's starting to become clear which teams will be on the top seed lines and receiving a geographical edge. Beyond that, there are a bunch of teams jostling for position at their preferred locations. Here's a look at some storylines and projections in regards to who will end up where in eight weeks.
The Midwest has both a ton of sites and a ton of top seeds. Oklahoma City, Des Moines and St. Louis each host subregionals this season. That is a lot of sites that are relatively close to each other (they're all inside of 600 miles from one another), but it happens to come in a year with a bunch of strong teams in that part of the country. Oklahoma is a safe bet to stay in its home state for the opening weekend. Kansas is likely to end up in either Des Moines (234 miles from Lawrence) or St. Louis (289 miles). After those two likely top-three seeds, you've got both Kentucky teams (Louisville, Kentucky), the pair of Iowa contenders (Iowa, Iowa State), and then Michigan State, Purdue, Xavier all competing to stay in the Midwest for the first and second rounds. Texas A&M and Baylor should also be in contention to stay in the Central time zone, although Denver is also an option for the Aggies and Bears.

Iowa's Red Hot Campaign: Jarrod Uthoff Spurs Hawkeyes
Posted by Shane McNichol on January 21st, 2016
The state of Iowa is buzzing right now. Somehow, the Hawkeye State has evolved into not only a key battleground in the US Presidential race, but also in college basketball's push towards March. The state has become a legitimate graveyard for top-ranked teams, as Northern Iowa knocked off then #1 North Carolina early in the season, Iowa toppled #1 Michigan State, and Iowa State just nipped newly minted #1 Oklahoma on Monday night.
But there is one team in the state that is clearly being talked about more than the others right now. Iowa's Dec. 29 victory over Michigan State was nice, but that is only a piece of the red-hot run they are on. In its last five games, Iowa has beaten teams with an average KenPom ranking of 30.1 (which includes #89 Nebraska). The Hawkeyes not only beat Tom Izzo's team in Iowa City, they went up to East Lansing and knocked off the Spartans there, again by double digits. Iowa also trailed KenPom darling Purdue by 19 just before halftime on the road, only to outscore the Boilermakers 50-26 in the second half.

Handing Out Grades For Finals Week
Posted by Andrew Gripshover on December 18th, 2015
It's finals week across the country and we're currently in the midst of the slowest week of the college basketball season. The basketball may not be great, but it is the perfect time to hand out a few grades of our own to teams, players, coaches and conferences. Hopefully the feedback will be easier to understand than your teacher's scribbled critiques in those little blue books.
Purdue: A
Isaac Haas Has Been Dominant For The Undefeated Boilers (Photo: The Exponent)
Over the first month of the season, the two biggest "it" teams are Oklahoma and these Boilers. Purdue is 11-0 for the first time since 2009-10, when Robbie Hummel, E'Twaun Moore and JaJuan Johnson led the Boilers to a share of the Big Ten crown. This Purdue outfit may be the best Matt Painter team since that group, and some are saying this could be the best team in West Lafayette since Glenn Robinson donned the black and gold in the early '90s. That kind of talk may be getting a little ahead of things, but these Boilers have won all 11 games by double-figures. The major tests start coming in now, beginning with the Boilers' next four games: Butler at the Crossroads Classic in Indianapolis; Vanderbilt at home; at Wisconsin (in the Badgers first Big Ten game without Bo Ryan in over a decade); Iowa in West Lafayette. Go 15-0 and this is a surefire A+.
Isaac Haas: A+
If you asked the average college basketball fan to name the best player on Purdue, the answer you'd likely get is AJ Hammons. It wouldn't be a terrible response — last season, Hammons led the Big Ten in blocked shots for the third straight year (only JaJuan Johnson and Penn State's Calvin Booth have ever done that before). If you asked a recruiting guru, you might hear the name of blue chip freshman Caleb Swanigan, who has met or even exceeded the lofty expectations attached to him since stepping on campus. But neither of those two has been the most important Boilermaker so far. That notation belongs to Haas, the 7'2″ sophomore who has made the leap as a sophomore. Last season Haas' offensive rating, per KenPom, was 95.1. So far this year, it's a whopping 129.8 as he draws almost 9.8 fouls per 40 minutes, the highest average in the country. He's improved his free throw percentage by 20 points (54.7 percent to 74.2 percent) and he's making 10 percent more of his two-point attempts (63.3 percent this season) He and Hammons are both dominant on the boards and as shot blockers (Haas' 8.5 percent block rate falls just a bit short of Hammons' 10.1 percent) but it's Haas who is the #5 player in the (very early) KenPom Player of the Year race.

Great Alaska Shootout a Dying Breed of Holiday Tournaments
Posted by Kenny Ocker on November 27th, 2015
The school-managed exempt tournament is going extinct. The proliferation of corporate-owned events, including those put on by ESPN, have made sure of that. But out on the Last Frontier, the last holdout is conducting its last event on its own: The Great Alaska Shootout, organized and hosted by the University of Alaska-Anchorage, goes until Saturday, with its champion being the final team to win the tournament before Basketball Travelers takes over as managers next season.
The Great Alaska Shootout Produced One of the Best Moments for Bob Huggins at Cincinnati, in 1998. (AP)
The 50-plus-year-old tradition of exempt tournaments started when schools off the U.S. mainland needed to have an incentive before teams would schedule visits, and for a long time it stayed on an island floating off the coast of the NCAA landscape. But when eccentric Louisianan Bob Rachal took over the UAA men's basketball program during its inaugural year in the NCAA's Division II in 1977-78 – donning a tuxedo and top hat in his first game on the sidelines – he found that metaphorical island and used it to his advantage.
"He wanted something that could make a splash, something that could get the program on the map, so he dug around in the NCAA bylaws and he found out that you could host basically free games held under the exemption for any teams playing in Alaska or Hawaii at that point," Seawolves sports information director Nate Sagan said. Well, not quite free, but close enough: A tournament of up to four games could count as one game against the NCAA's limit of contests per season.

Giving Thanks: Setting the Table for the Rest of the Season
Posted by Shane McNichol on November 26th, 2015
Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday by a significant margin. From the moment I wake up to the moment I slide into a food-induced coma at the end of the night, I have a wide smile on my face. My relationship with college basketball is much the same. It's my favorite sport by a comparable margin and I certainly find my share of smiles throughout the season. The two are unquestionably intertwined, with Turkey Day acting as an unofficial turning point of the season. Everything prior feels like two boxers dancing and feeling each other out, but once Thanksgiving comes and goes, the real haymakers start to be thrown.
And a Happy Thanksgiving to All…
Even if that may be well and good, I want to mash them together even further. If notable college basketball teams were the dishes on your Thanksgiving table, what would you eat? What would you pass along? What would you hoard all for yourself?
Turkey – Wisconsin
The bird may be the centerpiece of Thanksgiving dinner, but even that status can't outweigh the connotation of its name. If we're calling someone the "turkey" of the young season, it's not a compliment. And that distinction goes to the Badgers. Losing the likes of Frank Kaminsky and Sam Dekker wasn't supposed to be easy, but count me among the masses who though Bo Ryan, Bronson Koenig and Nigel Hayes would be able to steady the ship in the wake of their run to the National Championship game last season.

The Champions Classic Lesson
Posted by Bennet Hayes on November 18th, 2015
Let's get it out there: Kentucky and Michigan State collected MAJOR wins at the Champions Classic on Tuesday night. If Kansas and Duke turn out to be anything close to the top five teams that they are expected to be, these are the type of victories that can separate #1 seeds from #2 seeds come March. For teams closer to peril (not that either Kentucky or Michigan State is likely to fall into this category), wins like these can redirect NIT-bound seasons into the field of 68. Nevermind that it's only November, or that all four of these teams will evolve dramatically over the course of the season: These results will still matter in March. But with that note out of the way, we can also admit something that all four coaches seemed to know last night: These games don't matter all THAT much. There's no realistic way that last night's results will define any of these team's seasons, and all four coaches, given a chance to improve over the next five months, trust their own ability to mold a team — no matter how dysfunctional they may appear in November.
Denzel Valentine Was Tuesday Night's Show-Stopper (Photo: The Sporting News)
But that isn't to say that any of these four teams looked especially bad last night. Duke's leading scorer, sophomore Grayson Allen, did look bad, but expectations should have been restrained in his first take in a starring role against elite competition. Allen and the other young Blue Devils — Brandon Ingram (1-of-6 from the field, four turnovers, four fouls), Derryck Thornton (3-of-7 FG, four turnovers) and Luke Kennard (0-of-5 FG) — are all good bets to steadily improve in the months to come. Kansas was the other team that left the United Center a loser last night, but Bill Self's team displayed no signs of panic in the aftermath of Michigan State's victory. Jayhawks junior Wayne Selden admitted that early season struggles had worried him in years past, but he said the more experienced composition of his current team quelled any such concerns this time around. Kansas handed away a game they held complete control of for 33 minutes — Bill Self admitted as much afterward — and the ball screen defense (or lack thereof) that enabled Denzel Valentine (29 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists) to repeatedly break Kansas down will need significant revisions. However, the Jayhawks have the talent, experience and coaching to cure their November ills, not to mention plenty of time in which to do so.

Thoughts From a Wacky Opening Night in College Basketball
Posted by Andrew Gripshover on November 14th, 2015
There were a lot of games and a lot of things that happened last night! Some immediate takeaways on several of them…
Wisconsin. Yikes. You just don't expect THAT from a Bo Ryan team, right? We all knew the Badgers were replacing a lot this season but it's always been next man up in Madison. Perhaps it's a little different though when you're replacing the NPOY Frank Kaminsky, his sidekick Sam Dekker and many of the other key components of arguably one of the greatest offenses in college basketball history. Still, there shouldn't be a drop from that to losing at arguably the nation's greatest fortress to WESTERN ILLINOIS. Picked last in the Summit (as I'm sure you've heard by now), the Leathernecks weren't exactly North Florida winning at Illinois or even Belmont winning at Marquette (both of which also happened last night). This was THE most shocking result of the night.
Shocker of Shockers on a Wild Opening Night
Monmouth over UCLA put in a late bid, though. Playing 2,796 miles away from campus at Pauley Pavilion and with their body clocks at well after midnight Eastern time, the Hawks more or less debunked every time-zone theory by winning 84-81 in overtime. Maybe it's fairer to say that the Bruins really lost this one, however, after blowing a 13-point lead with 12 minutes to play, and then up five with two minutes remaining in the extra session. Aaron Holiday had an end-of-game sequence to forget — first missing a jumper, followed by one-of-two free throws after an offensive rebound, and then badly bricking a game-tying three-pointer as time ran out. Perhaps tearing up San Diego State in a secret scrimmage isn't all that it's cracked up to be.

The Story of the 2014-15 College Basketball Season: Unwatchability
Posted by Bennet Hayes on April 13th, 2015
Every college basketball season supplies its share of moments to remember, and in that regard, 2014-15 was no different. We'll always have the epic regional final between Notre Dame and Kentucky. Coach K's 1,000th victory at the Garden won't soon be forgotten, and Peter Hooley's bid-delivering buzzer-beater for Albany perfectly encapsulated the madness of Championship Week… even before we learned about his emotional story. There was, without a doubt, plenty to cheer about… but those tremendous moments do not mean everything was hunky-dory in college basketball this season. As the game neared its March climax, critics of college basketball's decreased scoring and slogging tempos found their numbers growing and voices amplified. Despite record-breaking ratings for the Final Four and March Madness, the "watchability" of college hoops was called into question unlike ever before.
Virginia Was One of Many Slow-Tempo Teams to Thrive in 2014-15. (AP)
"You've got three kids passing on the perimeter. With 10 seconds on the shot clock, they try to make something happen and two other kids stand around. They don't look for anything and then run back on defense, so there's no transition game because two out of five or three out of five or in some cases four out of five kids aren't involved in the play. It's uglier than ugly, and it's evidenced by the scoring going down."
— Mark Cuban, Owner – Dallas Mavericks, April 8
The Mavericks' outspoken owner was just one of the most prominent – and recent – voices to lament the current state of the college game, but he was far from alone – and with fair reason: Putting points on the scoreboard proved to be a universally excruciating task. Teams averaged a smidgen over 67 points per contest this season – the lowest team scoring average in over 60 years. The nation's leader scorer – Eastern Washington's Tyler Harvey – averaged 23.1 points per game; no national scoring leader had averaged fewer than 25.0 points per game since 1949. The six most efficient offensive teams in college basketball averaged 63.7 possessions per game; if those six merged into one unit, it would be the 233rd-fastest playing group in the land. Recent rule changes intended to enhance offensive freedom, quicken tempos and improve overall efficiency have quite clearly flopped. Points are at an all-time premium, with tempos nearing historic lethargy.

Sleeping on a Darling From a March Past
Posted by Bennet Hayes on February 19th, 2015
The return to anonymity was as swift as the introduction had been sudden. When Ali Farokhmanesh unleashed his ill-advised three-point attempt with 36 seconds to play in a 2010 round of 32 match-up with Kansas, Northern Iowa was a little known Missouri Valley outfit that had scrapped its way to 29 wins. But seconds later, after the brave long distance attempt found the bottom of the net and the Panthers were done toppling top-seeded Kansas, Ben Jacobson's team was a national sensation. It didn't matter that his team's season would end six days later against Michigan State — with that one shot, Northern Iowa had suddenly become the story of the 2010 NCAA Tournament.
Seth Tuttle May Be College Basketball's Most Unassuming Star. His Northern Iowa Panthers are now 25-2. (Photo: Associated Press)
The Panthers' 15 minutes of fame extended a bit beyond March that year – they won 'Best Upset' at the 2010 ESPYs several months later – but it wasn't too long before most of the world (and this includes the segment that eats, sleeps and breathes college basketball) had forgotten about them. They won no more than 21 games in any of the four seasons that followed, with a 2012 first-round NIT loss standing as the most successful postseason run since 'the shot.' Like so many March darlings before them, they had been forced back to their post in the obscure outer regions of college hoops.
They're now back. Most college basketball fans have taken note of this season's Northern Iowa renaissance, but lets take a full inventory of what they have done to this point. After Wednesday night's 58-39 victory at Loyola (IL), Jacobson's team has won 14 in a row and sits at 25-2 on the season. On January 31, the Panthers handed Wichita State its worst loss (70-54) in over six years. Their two losses came in double-overtime at VCU and by three points at Evansville. They rank in the top 25 nationally in both offensive and defensive efficiency, and the AP poll and Ken Pom's rankings list them as the 11th best team in the country. Things are not going badly for this group.

Rashad Cassim: Challenges facing fintechs and opportunities to respond
Opening address by Mr Rashad Cassim, Deputy Governor of the South African Reserve Bank, at the World Fintech Festival, organised by the Monetary Authority of Singapore, virtual, 8 December 2020.
by Rashad Cassim
| 9 pages
Good day to our South African financial technology (fintech) community and to all our fintech colleagues connecting to the World Fintech Festival in South Africa.
The Intergovernmental Fintech Working Group (IFWG) is honoured to be part of this year's Singapore Fintech Festival. We would like to commend the Monetary Authority of Singapore for organising a virtual festival which is testament to the immense possibilities that are unlocked when we embrace technology in the way we work and interact. My understanding is that we are likely over 100 000 people connected to this event.
Before we begin today's programme, I would like to talk, very briefly, about the significance of fintech, particularly in the context of COVID-191, and reflect on some of the challenges that fintech continues to face. For fintech to continue making inroads into financial services, it may be important for the ecosystem to overcome some of these challenges. Many of these reflections will be explored further by esteemed expert speakers in the panel discussions.

Google's IT Support Professional Certificate enrolls in community college
Almost 40 percent of all undergraduates in the United States are educated at community colleges, and I'm proud to be one of them.
I got my start at Ozarks Technical Community College in Springfield, MO where I received my associate degree and went on to a career in IT support at Google. Today, I'm a Senior Systems Administrator, helping to keep Google's internal infrastructure up and running. While I enjoy fixing things—a pastime of mine since I received my first hand-me-down Commodore 64 at the age of eight–teaching is my passion.
So last year, I jumped at the opportunity to help develop the Google IT Support Professional Certificate. This Grow with Google program teaches people the skills they need for an entry-level job in IT support in about eight months. Since its launch in January, almost 40,000 people have enrolled in the program, and Google has funded over 10,000 scholarships to support veterans, refugees, and low-income learners.
Starting this fall, we're bringing the certificate to more than 25 community colleges in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Texas, California, and New York. To do this, we're giving a Google.org grant to JFF, a leading workforce development nonprofit. JFF will help community colleges integrate the Google IT Support Professional Certificate into their IT offerings, so that it aligns with the skills that employers are looking for. With these skills, students can jump start their careers in IT Support.
The field of IT is growing quickly, with many companies looking to hire strong IT talent—there are 150,000 openings for IT Support jobs open in the U.S. alone. I chose to pursue teaching after I got my degree, but many graduates want to jump right into IT at a big company. To help connect students with these job opportunities, we created a hiring consortium which includes Bank of America, Walmart, Sprint, GE Digital, PNC Bank, Infosys, TEKSystems, UPMC, and of course, Google. Today we're announcing that fourteen more companies are joining this group: Hulu, Cognizant, RICOH USA, MCPc, and 10 Walmart family companies including Allswell, Bonobos, Hayneedle, Jet.com, Modcloth, Moosejaw, Sam's Club, Shoes.com, Store No. 8 and Vudu.
With all those companies looking to hire top IT talent, there's so much opportunity out there. Community college put me on my path to IT support, and in today's increasingly digital economy, we hope the Google IT Support Professional Certificate program helps others find theirs.

That's entertainment!
06 July, 2018 at 10:10 AM
Posted by: Zenobia Hegde
A few years ago, the question was asked many times, "who would want to watch a movie on a small screen?" Even with the advent of smartphones with larger displays, pundits and analysts (including this one) were still sceptical about the demand for small-screen entertainment, but how wrong we all were, writes Peter Dykes.
One of the main drivers behind the Sprint (pun intended) to roll out 5G infrastructure, both in terms of radio and fibre, is the demand for streamed video; with mainly radio for access and fibre for the front and backhaul. Recent events suggest that while 5G is being seen by many as essentially yet another communications technology, the effect of its introduction on network operators, both fixed and mobile, and how they are perceived, may be far more profound than 3G or 4G ever was.
Indecent haste?
With what some may construe as indecent haste, AT&T waited only two days after getting a judicial go-ahead to buy Time-Warner, the home of HBO and CNN, for around US$85.4 billion (€72.91 billion), creating a new behemoth that can both produce and distribute content to millions of mobile phone, broadband and satellite TV subscribers.
Randall Stephenson, chairman and CEO of AT&T says, "The content and creative talent at Warner Bros., HBO and Turner are first-rate. Combine all that with AT&T's strengths in direct-to-consumer distribution, and we offer customers a differentiated, high-quality, mobile-first entertainment experience. We're going to bring a fresh approach to how the media and entertainment industry works for consumers, content creators, distributors and advertisers."
Position of dominance
Hard on the heels of the deal, we hear that Telecom Argentina's proposed merger with cable TV company Cablevision has also got the green light from that country's competition regulators, again putting a major communications provider in a position of dominance in the media and entertainment sectors.
To be fair, Telecom Argentina's release from the regulatory blocks came with some handicaps, namely a period of grace to allow the opposition to catch up and the handing back of some spectrum, but even so, the company has a head start in the race to become something other than that which its creators originally intended it to be – a communications provider.
These events, while being only two of many such deals around the world, are symptomatic of the realisation on the part of operators, that what were once considered core services and which were indeed the original reason for their existence, are about to become a means of delivering something far more lucrative than simple voice and data.
Peter Dykes
Consumers' growing appetite for content on the move is changing the very nature of communications operators world-wide. They are not just becoming content providers, but rather content producers with complete control over the whole value chain from production to delivery.
One wonders, therefore, how the communications market of the future will look compared to that which we have become used to. Let's face it, with voice and data revenues in decline and likely to continue that way for the foreseeable future, these once core services are rapidly becoming loss leaders. And what would that mean in terms of what these companies really are?
They are becoming more akin to cable TV providers, but with mobile capabilities, so could such companies still be called network operators when their primary focus and most lucrative source of revenue is media and entertainment? Surely, entertainment providers would be a more accurate description.

The Kite Runner Betrayal Research Paper
A Story of Betrayal In many books in literature, betrayal among the characters generates conflicts, emotional burdens, and other consequences in the story. In, The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini, the notion of betrayal occurs repeatedly throughout the whole story between the main characters. In this story, the rise of betrayal affects the events and actions that come to light in between the plots and characters. This leads to some major twists and turnouts in the story. The main characters, Amir and Baba, engender betrayal among other characters in the story, while Hassan weathers the betrayal upon him which triggers from Amir. Let alone, Amir's betrayal marks as the actual meaning of The Kite Runner, a story that emits betrayal. Amir's transpires when Assef molests Hassan since Amir just stands by and views the scene occurring in front of him. This defines Amir's betrayal since Hassan, who always stands up to Assef just for Amir, doesn't get one helping from Amir. The action of betrayal caused by Amir arises when Amir plans on removing Hassan and Ali from the house. This marks another point of betrayal in the story because Amir frames Hassan for stealing his birthday money and watch. Amir himself puts these items under Hassan's mattress since he couldn't take the pain in his heart any longer, so he needed to get Hassan far away…show more content…
Amir and Baba both betray people whom they share a close bond with, while Hassan, on the other hand, endures betrayal set upon him by Amir, whom Hassan always respected greatly as a sahib. Betrayal connects as the major theme in this story since it describes what the story of The Kite Runner informs. Betrayal in the story affects the plot greatly in this story since causes many flips and major events that lead to the climax of the story. As betrayal tells a story in The Kite Runner, it also can tell how it greatly affects plots in other books of
How Is Guilt Presented In The Kite Runner
Bernhard Schlink's The Reader and Marc Forster's The Kite Runner explore many aspects of the nature of guilt. Both text's revolve around the guilt of love. The two texts contrast a sexual love and the love of a friend. Shame is a prominent theme in both text's, described as a self-depreciating emotion stemming from the belief that your actions have changed you negatively.
Emerging Themes In The Kite Runner
Emerging Themes Khaled Hosseini's development of the character Amir, in the novel The Kite Runner, uncovers two emerging themes. Amir's struggle with the death of Hassan goes over his guilt, and how guilt can cloud a person's judgement. Rahim Khan's words effect Amir in a major way as well. When Rahim asks Amir to retrieve Hassan's son he has a shot at redemption for what he has done hinting that in life it is never too late to make the right decision.
Examples Of Amir's Tragic Flaw In The Kite Runner
In The Kite Runner, Amir's desperation for attention from Baba proves to be his most tragic flaw. Due to this, he becomes envious of Hassan and how Baba treats him. Amir's most significant sin is treating Hassan differently because of this, with the excuse of him being a Hazara. Furthermore, Amir knows that saving Sohrab would be the only way to make it right with Hassan again. After taking the chance and risking his life, Amir redeems himself in the end.
Secrets In The Kite Runner
Secrets can make or break relationships. They could either be the glue that keeps people close, or the force that tears them apart. In the novel, "The Kite Runner," by Khaled Hosseini, Amir and Hassan keep many secrets from each other, including Amir not telling Hassan that he saw him while he was being assaulted. These secrets create a wider divide between characters, until they are revealed. Kite running was an activity where people would run around with kites and have a sharp piece of glass in their hand.
The Theme Of Redemption In The Kite Runner
Redemption, the action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil. In the novel The Kite Runner written by Khaled Hosseini, the theme of redemption is evident throughout the book. Hosseini himself explained redemption in his own way, stating "true redemption is… when guilt leads to good", and this "fiction is inspired by his memories of growing up in pre-Soviet-controlled Afghanistan and Iran, and of the people who influenced him as a child." (768 Gale) The theme is shown through each and every character, whether it be Amir the protagonist or Sanaubar, the mother of Hassan.
Betrayal In 'The Kite Runner'
Trust; Years to Build, Seconds to Break You're walking through a luxuriant rainforest with your best friend, who you've known for years. Suddenly, a man jumps out of the kapok tree to the right of you, he threatens to take one of you to his camp as a captive, if not he will kill both of you. Who do you sacrifice? In The Kite Runner, acts of betrayal are witnessed in even the closest relationships.
Overcoming Guilt In The Kite Runner
Overcoming guilt and redeeming yourself The story, The Kite Runner, written by Khaled Hosseini in 2003 is based in Kabul, Afghanistan but eventually moves to California. The novel is written in first person and talks about the past using extended flashbacks, from the time period of 1975-2001. It is written as a confessional/redemption story. The book The Kite Runner is the story of an Afghan man named Amir.
Theme Of Betrayal In The Kite Runner
Theme of Betrayal and Redemption in 'The Kite Runner' Hosseini's 'The Kite Runner' exhibits a complicated relationship between the central characters Amir and Hassan. They are being brought up in the same environment, however, driven by strong influence of dividing factors. The novel is set in accordance to real political and social events in Afghanistan in 1990s. There was law and order crisis, a political fall in Afghanistan, and the Taliban in 1994; comprising of Pashtuns came in as a cleansing force to establish law and impose Islam which later lead to violence in the country (Poolos, 2001).
Examples Of Deception In The Kite Runner
Deception is important to The Kite Runner because of how it changes the course of characters lives. ||Deception is defined as the act of deceiving someone. In the novel The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini, deception is woven throughout the book like a web. In the past we have brought up as a class that the book is really about Hassan, just viewed through the lense of Amir. Since the book is told from Amir's perspective, he is connected in some way to each of these lies.
Father And Father Analysis
We have all dealt with neglection at some point as a problem in life. Some who deal with parent neglection or disconnection with either a mother or a father, possibly even a sibling or society. The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini is a novel about the narrator, Amir and his journey in life and how he believes his half-brother receives more attention from his father which causes Amir's relationship with his father to be affected. While Father by Alice Walker is an excerpt about a woman and her reflection on her relationship with her father and how she regrets her action and choices when she was younger wishing to have altered her relationship. The authors convey conflict to create tension in the novel and the excerpt.
