Below are a few of the use cases that illustrate how big data and Hadoop are being integrated into the financial services industry, providing companies with insights into their operations, their customers, and their markets.
Flagging anomalous activities in real time can help prevent potential security attacks or fraud. The RedGate Analytic Platform gives banks the ability to build usage models of "normal" behavior from histories of consumer behavior, analyze incoming transactions against individual and aggregate purchasing histories and take appropriate action if the activity falls outside the confidence level of normal behavior. As more data is ingested, more precise models can be built so the system can more accurately separate the atypical but legitimate behavior from the suspicious activities.
Banks can create a more meaningful and effective context for marketing to customers if they can define distinct categories or "segments" in which each customer belongs. Often, these segments are defined based on demographic information, but the more cohesive and useful segments are also defined by customer behavior. Banks can define better customer segments by using the RedGate Analytic Platform to collect and analyze all of the data that they have about their customers, such as daily transaction data, interaction data from multiple customer touch-points (e.g., online, call centers), home value data, and merchant records. Banks can then analyze these data sets to group customers into one or more segments based on their needs in terms of banking products and services, and plan their sales, promotion and marketing campaigns accordingly.
The growing number of channels through which customers communicate has resulted in banks needing to understand what their customers are saying about their products and experiences in order to ensure customer satisfaction. Banks can use the Red Gate Analytic Platform to analyze comments on social media or product review sites, enabling them to quickly respond to negative or positive comments. With this new insight, banks can respond to emerging problems in a timely manner while also effectively connecting with their customers to gain a better understanding of the types of banking products and services such customers find valuable.
Big data techniques can be used to gather and process risk data in order to 1) satisfy risk reporting requirements, 2) measure financial performance against risk tolerance, and 3) slice and dice financial reports. The Red Gate Analytic Platform can benefit risk managers as they can perform on-demand historical analysis of risk data as well as receive real-time alerts when limits are breached.
Whenever a firm engages in a business transaction with another party, the risk of doing business with that party must be priced into the terms of the deal. Since calculating counterparty risk requires more than computing a formula, firms typically run long and complex "Monte Carlo simulations" to get a complete picture of risk exposure at many points in time in the future. These simulations require huge volumes of data, massive parallel compute power, and system reliability to ensure firms can continue with business operations with no downtime. The RedGate Analytic Platform provides the performance, scalability, reliability, and the easy access and delivery of data to drive the key components of a counterparty risk analytics system.
Making new products and services available to consumer card holders is an ongoing initiative for banks. Improved marketing campaigns and ads through effective targeting are required in order to deliver services to consumers and increase revenue for banks. The RedGate Analytic Platform is used to provide new products and services for consumers in real time at a leading credit card company. Advanced machine learning and statistical techniques are employed over data that is stored in a highly available Analytical cluster. RedGate Analytic Platform gives the credit card company the ability to use machine learning techniques for multiple purposes, including fraud detection and recommendations.
Due to the global financial crisis, there are now much more stringent rules for approving customer loan requests, so banks need more accurate ways to determine a person's credit risk. A number of quantitative indicators are used for credit risk assessment and credit scoring. The RedGate Analytic Platform enables banks to pull in customer data on everything from deposit information, through customer service emails, to credit card purchase history in order to gain a holistic view of their customers. With the RedGate Analytic Platform, financial institutions now have the tools they need to construct an in-depth view of their customers so they can properly provide accurate credit scoring and analysis.
To offer optimal customer service, financial services institutions need to analyze unstructured data about their customers (social media profiles, emails, calls, complaint logs, discussion forums, website interactions). By analyzing this data, firms gain a much deeper understanding of their customers' needs and can respond accordingly with the right products and services. Using the RedGate Analytic Platform, financial institutions can consistently optimize each customer's experience when those customers interact with the firm.

In 2017, Flagler Humane Society Launched a Peer to Peer Fundraising Campaign for #GivingTuesday and Crushed Their Fundraising Goals! Here's How They Did It.
It all started when FHS secured a $10,000 matching gift pledge from a small group of their most loyal donors in early 2017. With the match in hand, Development Director Jeffery Ritter chose Salsa Engage for an integrated peer to peer fundraising, email, and social marketing experience. Then, he quickly built a campaign page and began recruiting individuals and teams to raise money on their behalf. FHS challenged their board members to set an example as individual fundraisers, and FHS also partnered with a local high school offering a $100 gift card reward to the teacher whose team of students raised the most money.
For FHS, marketing the campaign on the day of giving was much more successful than in years past. They published Facebook Ads and scheduled multiple fundraising emails and social posts to go out at the same time throughout the day, each time telling powerful stories of how donations help FHS save and improve the lives of shelter animals. Ritter reported, "Our emails sent from Engage got through SPAM filters and reached 99% of inboxes, much more than in years past."
By the end of #GivingTuesday 2017, Flagler Humane Society had raised over $13,000 through their peer to peer campaign, 30% more than their goal and 73% more than the previous two #GivingTuesdays combined! The generous matching gift brought their fundraising haul to $23,000 which went towards funding operations at the shelter.


"The term 'Nyanzan pirate' has long been used falsely to connect the Federation with bands of rogue marauders in the region. We regret this unfortunate misconception."
The Earth Colonies Campaign is a non-canon Traveller® setting focused on 31st Century Earth and its independent former colonies in the surrounding interstellar space. The setting utilizes three-dimensional campaign maps of Earth's actual interstellar neighborhood inspired by the original Near Star Map from Traveller: 2300 / 2300 AD.
The Earth Colonies Sphere includes several rival interstellar states—independent communities originally settled from Earth: the expansionist Empire of Aztlan, the cosmopolitan Federation of Nyanza, the mercantile Ouroran Community, the missionary Abrahamic Synod, and several others, as well as the Commonwealth of Earth itself.
Non-human sophont species in the Colonies Sphere include the terrestrial Dolphins—co-equal partners with Humans, the Aeroi, who abhor violence but dominate interstellar trade, and the Meren, who often resort to militarism in their quest to control hospitable hydrospheres. As many as two dozen other sophont species may border the Colonies Sphere.
Technological capability of the Commonwealth and the major Colonial States, as well as of the Aeroi and Meren, represents a setting maximum. Interstellar travel is not commonplace with four parsecs per week speeds only available to the most advanced military and technical users. The vast, low-density stellar neighborhood of the Colonies Sphere adds some interesting aspects to faster-than-light (FTL) travel.
Much of the Earth Colonies Sphere has yet to be explored. There are rich opportunities for adventurers in the undiscovered country of the Colonies Sphere.

Former England and Middlesex wicketkeeper John Murray died on July 24, 2018. This tribute is paid to him in the Wisden Almanack 2019.
Murray – known as JT – became the supreme wicketkeeping stylist, but he did not lack substance. In a career spanning 24 seasons and 635 first-class matches, he made 1,527 dismissals, behind only Bob Taylor's 1,649. Relaxed, graceful and immaculately turned out, he took the ball with reassuring calm, fingers pointing down, hands relaxed.
Injuries, and competition from Jim Parks and Alan Knott at either end of his career, restricted Murray to 21 Test appearances, though the selectors also felt he did not score enough runs. But in the Fifth Test against West Indies at The Oval in 1966, with England in trouble in Brian Close's first match as captain, Murray put on 217 for the eighth wicket with Tom Graveney, looking "every bit as good" as him, according to Wisden.
Murray batted almost four and a half hours for 112, becoming the second No. 9, after Gubby Allen, to make a Test hundred for England. It was the second time that summer – having played for MCC against the tourists at Lord's – he had taken a century off Hall, Griffith, Sobers and Gibbs. "He was one of the rare people I have seen who could make the hooking of a fast bouncer truly elegant," wrote Tony Lewis. Murray was named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1967.
He was born in North Kensington, the son of a council worker. There were no sports facilities at his school, but a local boys' club, sponsored by Rugby School, gave him a route into cricket, football and boxing. He came to the attention of Arsenal, signing as an amateur, and Middlesex, who offered him a place on the staff at 14. To his dismay, the school-leaving age was raised, and he had to wait a year. He was a batsman who bowled, until the regular wicketkeeper broke a finger, and Murray took over. He had little coaching – and proved a natural.
One morning in 1953, his father was dumbstruck to open the door to Tommy Lawton, the great England centre-forward who was then player–manager of Brentford. John was offered professional terms, but opted for cricket. He had made his debut in May 1952, aged 17, at Grace Road, replacing the injured Leslie Compton – and dropped Maurice Tompkin, who went on to a hundred. His first victim was Gerald Smithson, caught off Jack Young. But Murray's progress was held up by national service, and he had to wait until 1956 to become Compton's permanent successor.
Parks and Roy Swetman were given chances to become Godfrey Evans's permanent replacement in the Test side, but in the Ashes summer of 1961 Murray played in all five matches. It was his only full major series. He had to fly home from India the following winter for an operation on varicose veins, and did not regain his place, from Geoff Millman, until the middle of 1962.
Alan Smith was his rival in Australia in 1962-63, playing in the first two Tests before Murray returned at Sydney. But in completing a brilliant leg-side catch to dismiss Bill Lawry off Len Coldwell, he injured his shoulder.
With England facing defeat, he batted one-handed and, having taken 74 minutes to get off the mark, survived 100 balls in total while making an unbeaten three – in vain. But he did not play again until the First Test of the subsequent series in New Zealand. By 1967, the emergence of Knott signalled the end of Murray's international career; he equalled the then Test record of six dismissals in an innings, against India, but finished with a pair against Pakistan at Lord's.
And yet, as a batsman he was good enough to score 1,000 runs in a season six times, and 16 hundreds. "People have said he had a laissez-faire approach to batting, but there were plenty of times he dug us out of trouble," said Parfitt. In 1957, he completed a double matched only by Les Ames: 1,000 runs and 100 dismissals. He also opened on occasions (including in a Test in South Africa in 1964-65), but felt that pressure to score runs would undermine his main role. He served as Middlesex vice-captain under Titmus and Parfitt; when he took charge, he was a bold, attacking leader.
Murray had already begun his new career, selling squash courts for a company run by the cricket promoter Derrick Robins; later, he worked for Slazenger. He was an England selector, but resigned when Roger Tolchard's batting earned him a place as Bob Taylor's deputy on the 1978-79 Ashes tour. Murray believed in choosing the best wicketkeeper.
He had marvellous recall, and was a regular port of call for writers and cricket historians. He had been collaborating on a biography with the author Christopher Sandford. On the day he died, Murray was at Lord's watching Middlesex secure a narrow Championship victory over Warwickshire. He rang his wife to say he had enjoyed the day, and was heading home when he collapsed by the Harris Garden behind the Pavilion.
In 1975, he passed Bert Strudwick's record, set in 1927, for the most first-class dismissals. Even at the time, there was confusion about the record; Wisden 1976 firmly stated that it was broken in the next match, at Southampton, and on the basis of later corrections to the figures it was at Old Trafford. Murray thought it had happened on the first day of the Championship game against Surrey, on May 31, when – apparently needing three – he took smart catches to remove Geoff Howarth and Younis Ahmed, then a more regulation edge from Dudley Owen-Thomas, all off Tim Lamb.

Former individual and World Pursuit world champion Alex Edmondson will face a stacked field in his national omnium title defence this week in Adelaide as he goes up against 2012 omnium world champion Glenn O'Shea at the Adelaide Super-Drome. Edmondson was part of the Australian squad which set a new team pursuit record record at the Cambridge World Cup earlier this month, providing the 22-year-old with a confidence boost for his Rio Olympic Games aspirations following a road season ending knee injury that required surgery.
Edmondson siblings claim Australian Omnium titles
"It has been an interesting last 12 weeks that's for sure. There have been a lot of ups but also some downs with it being a bit sore here and there," Edmondson said of his knee. "It's still an on going issue but I feel as though I'm starting to get the upper hand!"
Edmondson has claimed the last two national titles in the discipline but will need to be at his best to get the better of O'Shea who claimed the Cambridge World Cup bronze medal and is looking for an Olympic medal next August in the event.
"I am eager to try and win the omnium national title," O'Shea said. "The last couple of years it hasn't really fit into my program that well but this year it is a big goal for me to do well. I was reasonably happy with my performance in New Zealand. I had a couple events that I didn't really ride up to my normal standards but I was very happy with how I fought back over the second day to make it onto the podium.
"With the Olympics next year every time you get the opportunity to put your hand up you need to take it. The 2016 Omnium National Championships are one of those opportunities."
Former winner Scott Law and dual U23 road and time trial national champion Miles Scotson are among the other 12 starters.
The Australian Madison championships will also be held later this week in Melbourne at the Hisense Arena on Saturday with two-time world champions in the event, Cameron Meyer and Leigh Howard, taking centre stage while Edmondson and O'Shea will put their rivalry to one side and compete together as the Mitchelton team.

Ancient DNA continues to rewrite corn's 9,000-year society-shaping history
New study by Smithsonian researchers
Some 9,000 years ago, corn as it is known today did not exist. Ancient peoples in southwestern Mexico encountered a wild grass called teosinte that offered ears smaller than a pinky finger with just a handful of stony kernels. But by stroke of genius or necessity, these Indigenous cultivators saw potential in the grain, adding it to their diets and putting it on a path to become a domesticated crop that now feeds billions.
Despite how vital corn, or maize, is to modern life, holes remain in the understanding of its journey through space and time. Now, a team co-led by Smithsonian researchers have used ancient DNA to fill in a few of those gaps.
A new study, which reveals details of corn's 9,000-year history, is a prime example of the ways that basic research into ancient DNA can yield insights into human history that would otherwise be inaccessible, said co-lead author Logan Kistler, curator of archaeogenomics and archaeobotany at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History.
"Domestication–the evolution of wild plants over thousands of years into the crops that feed us today–is arguably the most significant process in human history, and maize is one of the most important crops currently grown on the planet," Kistler said. "Understanding more about the evolutionary and cultural context of domestication can give us valuable information about this food we rely on so completely and its role in shaping civilization as we know it."
In the Dec. 14 issue of the journal the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Kistler and an international team of collaborators report the fully sequenced genomes of three roughly 2,000-year-old cobs from the El Gigante rock shelter in Honduras. Analysis of the three genomes reveals that these millennia-old varieties of Central American corn had South American ancestry and adds a new chapter in an emerging complex story of corn's domestication history.
"We show that humans were carrying maize from South America back towards the domestication center in Mexico," Kistler said. "This would have provided an infusion of genetic diversity that may have added resilience or increased productivity. It also underscores that the process of domestication and crop improvement doesn't just travel in a straight line."
Humans first started selectively breeding corn's wild ancestor teosinte around 9,000 years ago in Mexico, but partially domesticated varieties of the crop did not reach the rest of Central and South America for another 1,500 and 2,000 years, respectively.
For many years, conventional thinking among scholars had been that corn was first fully domesticated in Mexico and then spread elsewhere. However, after 5,000-year-old cobs found in Mexico turned out to only be partially domesticated, scholars began to reconsider whether this thinking captured the full story of corn's domestication.
Then, in a landmark 2018 study led by Kistler, scientists used ancient DNA to show that while teosinte's first steps toward domestication occurred in Mexico, the process had not yet been completed when people first began carrying it south to Central and South America. In each of these three regions, the process of domestication and crop improvement moved in parallel but at different speeds.
In an earlier effort to hone in on the details of this richer and more complex domestication story, a team of scientists including Kistler found that 4,300-year-old corn remnants from the Central American El Gigante rock shelter site had come from a fully domesticated and highly productive variety.
Surprised to find fully domesticated corn at El Gigante coexisting in a region not far from where partially domesticated corn had been discovered in Mexico, Kistler and project co-lead Douglas Kennett, an anthropologist at the University of California, Santa Barbara, teamed up to genetically determine where the El Gigante corn originated.
"El Gigante rock shelter is remarkable because it contains well-preserved plant remains spanning the last 11,000 years," Kennett said. "Over 10,000 maize remains, from whole cobs to fragmentary stalks and leaves, have been identified. Many of these remains date late in time, but through an extensive radiocarbon study, we were able to identify some remains dating to as early as 4,300 years ago."
They searched the archaeological strata surrounding the El Gigante rock shelter for cobs, kernels or anything else that might yield genetic material, and the team started working toward sequencing some of the site's 4,300-year-old corn samples–the oldest traces of the crop at El Gigante.
Over two years, the team attempted to sequence 30 samples, but only three were of suitable quality to sequence a full genome. The three viable samples all came from the more recent layer of the rock shelter's occupation–carbon dated between 2,300 and 1,900 years ago.
With the three sequenced genomes of corn from El Gigante, the researchers analyzed them against a panel of 121 published genomes of various corn varieties, including 12 derived from ancient corn cobs and seeds. The comparison revealed snippets of genetic overlap between the three samples from the Honduran rock shelter and corn varieties from South America.
"The genetic link to South America was subtle but consistent," Kistler said. "We repeated the analysis many times using different methods and sample compositions but kept getting the same result."
Kistler, Kennett and their co-authors at collaborating institutions, including Texas A&M University, Pennsylvania State University as well as the Francis Crick Institute and the University of Warwick in the United Kingdom, hypothesize that the reintroduction of these South American varieties to Central America may have jump-started the development of more productive hybrid varieties in the region.
Though the results only cover the El Gigante corn samples dated to around 2,000 years ago, Kistler said the shape and structure of the cobs from the roughly 4,000-year-old layer suggests they were nearly as productive as those he and his co-authors were able to sequence. To Kistler, this means the blockbuster crop improvement likely occurred before rather than during the intervening 2,000 years or so separating these archaeological layers at El Gigante. The team further hypothesizes that it was the introduction of the South American varieties of corn and their genes, likely at least 4,300 years ago, which may have increased the productivity of the region's corn and the prevalence of corn in the diet of the people who lived in the broader region, as discovered in a recent study led by Kennett.
"We are starting to see a confluence of data from multiple studies in Central America indicating that maize was becoming a more productive staple crop of increasing dietary importance between 4,700 and 4,000 years ago," Kennett said.
Taken together with Kennett's recent study, these latest findings suggest that something momentous may have occurred in the domestication of corn about 4,000 years ago in Central America, and that an injection of genetic diversity from South America may have had something to do with it. This proposed timing also lines up with the appearance of the first settled agricultural communities in Mesoamerica that ultimately gave rise to great civilizations in the Americas, the Olmec, Maya, Teotihuacan and the Aztec, though Kistler hastened to point out this idea is still relegated to speculation.
"We can't wait to dig into the details of what exactly happened around the 4,000-year mark," Kistler said. "There are so many archaeological samples of maize which haven't been analyzed genetically. If we started testing more of these samples, we could start to answer these lingering questions about how important this reintroduction of South American varieties was."

In the Dec. 14 issue of the journal the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Logan Kistler, curator of archaeogenomics and archaeobotany at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, and an international team of collaborators report the fully sequenced genomes of three roughly 2,000-year-old cobs from the El Gigante rock shelter in Honduras. Analysis of the three genomes reveals that these millennia-old varieties of Central American corn had South American ancestry and adds a new chapter in an emerging complex story of corn's domestication history. Taken together with recent studies about the domestication of corn in this region, these latest findings suggest that something momentous may have occurred in the domestication of corn about 4,000 years ago in Central America, and that an injection of genetic diversity from South America may have had something to do with it.

The George C. Marshall House
In the realm of international relations and policy, few can compare to the respect and influence garnered by General George C. Marshall. Over his 44-year military and legislative career, he orchestrated the victorious Allied operations of World War II, fostered diplomacy between fragmented nations, and rescued Europe from total economic collapse. Our world as we know it today could not exist without Marshall's exceptional efforts for peace.
George Catlett Marshall was born in Uniontown, Pennsylvania on December 31, 1880, the youngest of three children to Laura and George Marshall Sr. Throughout his childhood, George was a mediocre student (the only subject he really seemed to excel at was history). He aspired to be like his older brother, Stuart, a Virginia Military Institute (VMI) cadet and a brilliant academic; however, living in his brother's shadow fostered a contentious relationship. When George himself enrolled in VMI, Stuart protested to their mother, stating that George's poor academic abilities would "disgrace the family name." George overheard his brother's hurtful comments and used them as motivation to dedicate himself to his education. In 1901, George graduated from VMI 15th in a class of 34 and ranked 1st in military discipline, which earned him the distinct honor of being named First Captain of the Cadet Corps.
Marshall was designated as Commandant of the Danville Military Academy shortly after his graduation. In February 1902, he received a commission from President William McKinley to be 2nd Lieutenant in the 30th U.S. Infantry and to join his regiment in the Philippines later that May. Before he was deployed, Marshall married Lily Carter Coles—a resident of Lexington, Virginia, who also happened to be Stuart's ex-girlfriend.
Marshall excelled during his time in the Philippines. By the time he returned home in December 1903, he had risen to the rank of company commander. In 1908, Marshall entered the Army Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and graduated first in his class. Marshall's military discipline and prowess caught the attention of some of the U.S. Army's highest ranking officers. In June 1913, on a second deployment to the Philippines, Marshall was made Brigadier General Hunter Liggett's aide-de-camp. Upon his return to the states in mid-1916, he became aide-de-camp to Major General J. Franklin Bell, commander of the Department of the West in San Francisco, California.
When the United States entered World War I in 1917, Bell and Marshall were transferred to the Department of the East on Governor's Island, New York. Marshall was named Assistant Chief of Staff for the 1st Division of the American Expeditionary Force, where he helped mobilize and train soldiers for combat operations in France. He led United States troops to their first significant victory of the war at the Battle of Cantigny, May 28 – 31, 1918. Marshall also coordinated the logistics for the Meuse-Argonne Offensive—the largest Allied assault of the war which involved 1.2 million American soldiers and ultimately contributed to the German Armistice on November 11, 1918.Following the Great War, Marshall became aide-de-camp to General John J. Pershing, who had recently been appointed U.S. Army Chief of Staff.
In August 1924, Marshall was assigned to command the 15th Army Regiment in Tientsin, China, where he and his wife Lily lived for three years. They came back to the U.S. in the summer of 1927 when Lily's heart condition was aggravated by severe hyperthyroidism. She underwent emergent surgery at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington D.C., but unfortunately died a few weeks later after a weakened heart wall ruptured. Marshall dealt with the pain of losing his wife of 26 years the best way he knew how—by remaining focused on his military duties.
Between 1927 and 1932, Marshall became assistant commandant of the Army's Infantry School at Fort Benning, Georgia. During his time at Fort Benning, Marshall implemented new staffing and command regulations, incorporated small-unit assaults in attack formations, streamlined communications, and increased field drilling exercises—all to modernize and increase the efficiency of the U.S. armed forces. Marshall also remarried while in Georgia. He married Katherine Boyce Tupper on October 15, 1930.
In 1932, Marshall moved from Fort Benning to Fort Screven to command the 8th Infantry Regiment and oversee the progress of the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camps in Georgia and South Carolina. In October 1936, Marshall was promoted to Brigadier General and placed in command of the 3rd Infantry Division at Vancouver Barracks, Washington, where he resided for two years.
In 1938, Marshall was assigned to the War Plans Division of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's War Department Staff as the threat of another world war loomed on the European continent. When Chief of Staff Malin Craig retired in 1939, Marshall was appointed to succeed him. He was sworn in on September 1, 1939, the same day Nazi Germany invaded Poland, igniting World War II. Marshall would hold the position of Chief throughout the war.
As acting Chief of Staff, Marshall organized the largest military expansion in United States history, increasing the number of enlisted men from 172,000 to more than 1 million by December 1941 and 8 million by 1945. Following the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the United States' formal declaration of war, Marshall went to work coordinating Allied operations in the European and Pacific theaters. In early 1943, Marshall laid out the foundation for Operation Overlord—the Invasion of Normandy—which he hoped to implement on April 1; however, Winston Churchill and other Allied leaders were not in favor of a large-scale amphibious assault at that time. Instead, they convinced FDR to commit troops to Operation Husky—the Invasion of Italy. Marshall's plans for invasion weren't implemented until June 6, 1944.
Marshall's success as a military commander and coordinator earned him the rank of Five-Star General on December 16, 1944—the first American Army general ever to be given such a distinction. As the defeat of Nazi Germany became imminent, Marshall's role transitioned from chief military officer to peace-making diplomat. He accompanied FDR to the Yalta Conference in February 1945 to discuss how to re-establish nations conquered by the former Axis powers and organize post-war Allied occupation of Germany. Later that July, he joined President Harry Truman to the Potsdam Conference, which established Germany's final terms of surrender.
Following WWII, Marshall resigned his commission as Chief of Staff. In December 1945, he served as Special Envoy to China in the midst of their post-war crisis. The relinquishment of Japanese occupation left a power vacuum in the country that resulted in years of senseless violence and mass casualties. Marshall tried to negotiate a coalition between Nationalist leader Chiang Kai-shek and Communist leader Mao Zedong, but no compromise was reached between the factions. Marshall returned to the U.S. in late 1946 having failed to achieve a lasting peace in China. The warring continued for two more years until Mao's Communist Revolution finally prevailed on October 1, 1949. The fall of China to communism was a warning sign to American and European legislators: economically and politically-vulnerable countries in the post-war world were susceptible to communist insurrection and the abandonment of democracy. These feelings, coupled with the hostile attitudes and policies of the Soviet Union, fueled the fire of the Cold War.
Europe was a war-torn continent following Germany's surrender. Its countries were fragmented, its industry ruined, its people falling victim to starvation and rising crime rates. Many people feared that these desolate conditions were opportune for Soviet expansionism to sweep across the continent, abdicate democracy, and establish totalitarian satellite states in its wake. Upon his appointment to Secretary of State in January 1947, Marshall realized that the only way for communism to be contained was through concerted humanitarian efforts to rejuvenate Europe's economic welfare. On June 5, 1947, Marshall attended Harvard University's commencement ceremony and outlined a strategy that would foster European economic recovery and development, the most memorable legislation of his illustrious career: the Marshall Plan.
In its most elemental form, The Marshall Plan was designed to restore the European economy by organizing a joint relief effort between European nations and the United States. American financial aid and resources were allocated to each participating nation to rebuild infrastructure, remove trade barriers, modernize industry, and prevent the spread of communism. The idea for the Marshall Plan came on the advice of George F. Kennan, a State Department Russian Specialist who called for "firm and vigilant containment of Russian expansive tendencies." Marshall's plan for European recovery also aligned with the tenets of the Truman Doctrine—to provide support to vulnerable states being subjugated by armed minorities or external forces and deter the development of totalitarian regimes.
When the Marshall Plan was administered in 1951, sixteen countries were authorized to participate, including Germany. While many leaders of the world wanted to punish Germany for its role in WWII, Marshall believed that German inclusion was absolutely necessary to achieve economic stability and support in Europe, especially since adjacent countries (like Belgium and the Netherlands) were dependent on German industry for economic prosperity. Marshall had also extended an invitation to the Soviet Union, but they declined to participate. Instead, the Soviets developed a similar policy, the Molotov Plan, which blocked Marshall Plan aid and cultivated socialist interests Eastern Bloc countries.
After two years and $13 billion of U.S. investment, the European economy began to improve on an impressive scale. Gross National Product increased by an average of 33% while industrial production and interstate trade rose nearly 40%. Crime and starvation rates plummeted significantly as financial and social stability slowly returned to a rebuilding Europe. On December 10, 1953, Marshall was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to resolve Europe's post-war economic and humanitarian crises. He is the only career U.S. army officer to ever receive the award.
After resigning his position as Secretary of State in 1949, Marshall became Chairman of the American Battle Monuments Commission and President of the American Red Cross. In 1950, as the United States entered the war in Korea, Marshall was appointed Secretary of Defense where he remobilized and expanded the U.S. military in preparation for armed intervention. He participated in the post-Ichon landing discussions which authorized General Douglas MacArthur to conduct military operations north of the 38th parallel. As American and U.N. armed forces invaded North Korea, China joined the conflict, backed by the Soviet Union. Hoping to avoid another all-out war, Marshall advocated for a steady withdrawal of American military support. On April 11, 1951, Marshall relieved MacArthur of command after seeing that his aggressive military campaigns took the conflict out of civilian control. Following the Korean War, Marshall retired to his home in Leesburg, Virginia, and passed away on October 16, 1959, at the age of 78. He is buried in Arlington National Cemetery.
The Marshall's home in Old Town Leesburg was originally constructed by John Drish between 1805 and 1826. It passed hands several times over the years and had once served as the Loudoun Collegiate Female Institute. Katherine Marshall purchased the mansion in 1941 for $16,000 and the Marshalls resided there until George's death in 1959. The story goes that when Katherine decided to buy the estate, she threw the 'for sale' sign into the bushes to deter any buyer competition before she could pay for the deed. While Marshall was still active duty, the house was used as a weekend retreat from bustling activity of Fort Myer, Virginia. Following his retirement, it was his permanent residence.
In the years following Marshall's death, the home fell into a state of disrepair. It was slated to be demolished in the early 1990s for a shopping center. Fortunately, the historic estate was saved by members of the George C. Marshall Home Preservation Fund who bought the property for $2.3 million and spent another $4.5 million restoring the home to its original decorum. Most of the money used to save the Marshall House was donated on behalf of the European nations who benefited from the Marshall Plan. The home opened to the public on Veteran's Day, 2005.
The George C. Marshall House can be visited on weekends from March through December and there is a $15 fee for entry. Tours of the mansion take between 75 and 90 minutes. The house is decorated in a 1950s style similar to how the Marshalls furnished it. In fact, about 90% of the furniture in the home is original to the Marshalls. The museum-quality displays, biographical videos, and tour guides are all extremely informative. While the $15 admission may seem pricey, the quality of the home tour and significance of George C. Marshall's life supersede that. Be sure to visit this site on a weekend trip to Loudoun County and learn about one of the most-decorated military leaders in United States history!

UNITY between workers and your organization's brand can lead to vastly higher production; more importantly,UNITY and good morale leads to satisfied workers who will perform gladly, rather than simply out of duty or even lesser motivations. Good morale is a symptom of UNITY. It's a mistake to think of businesses only being about making money. Pragmatically this is true, however, the best organizations tend to incorporate a higher "reason for being" which is usually more important than seeking for profits.
Wise leaders give their team members something to unite under. One of the foundational goals for leaders is identifying what's really important to the organization and then incorporating those ideals as a rally point. For military members, service to country and the protection of personal freedoms are the ideals that unite them. While it's hard to find better ideals than those used by the military, it's necessary to use something similar to unite a team so people can feel like they're part of something bigger than themselves.
When they feel that way, and are fairly compensated for their work, they will work hard. If an organizations leaders fail to incorporate lasting values and ideals into their daily operations, they are likely to lack the UNITY among their team to propel them to the next level of growth.


Q. I received a gift from my uncle early this year. Do I have to file a tax return or pay any tax?
For example, if the valuation date is between 1 January and 31 August 2017, you must complete the tax return and pay the tax on or before 31 October 2017. If the valuation date is between 1 September and 31 December 2017 you must complete the tax return and pay the tax on or before 31 October 2018.


Selling a Ruger P95 and all my 9mm gear to make the transition to 45. A little leery as I will be giving up the ability to carry 50 rounds with me in lieu of a bigger caliber.
Anyone else make the jump?
The only jump I made is trading my 5.45 tantal for a Saiga that shoots .223.
For pistols, I go with 45, 9mm, .380, and .38.
No .40 yet, and honestly I know I'll get one someday.
So no, I guess I didn't make any jump....more equals better though, I carry a 9mm or the revolver as a pocket gun. Less recoil equals faster shot recovery IMHO, but I need more practice with the 45 anyway...seems to shoot low.

Selling the 9 is what's helping finance the purchase of the 45. If I didn't have to, honestly I'd keep the 9. But what with the holidays/birthdays coming and 7 kids, the only way I can look at a 45 without guilt is to sell the 9.
How much are you asking for the P95?
I really like the RIA and have heard nothing but good about them.
I initially looked at the American Classic line (made in the Philippines!!) since I love stainless on guns and chrome on bikes.
But the RIA may have taken the lead in my book due to such positives reports of their customer service.
The thing stopping me from pulling the trigger on getting one is I now shoot .22 LR, 9 MM, and .357 in hand guns and have a hard time adding another caliber to the stable.
Especially since the 9 MM has some nice smack at a more affordable cost to shoot.
But, that being said, I have not ruled out a nice 1911.
I am anxious for you to get your new RIA.
I have an RIA 1911, the "tactical" version. I love it, it is my everyday carry weapon.
My handgun calibers are one Ruger 22/45 .22, three .45 1911s, and one XDM .45. I sold everything else. I only carry a .45, it's my favorite handgun caliber, and the one I'm most proficient with.

I have also made the switch to 45. I'm selling my stuff off as well. I keep getting crap that 45 is too expensive. But I reload so I don't care.

Calmus 1/31 Concert Preview
WBAA | By John Clare
Purdue Convocations
Founded in 1999 in Germany, the a cappella quintet Calmus is based in Leipzig. The group is known to both audiences and critics with having a "charming stage presence, flawless technique and entertaining presentation." They'll perform Tuesday, January 31st at Purdue for Convos with a Shakespeare program in St Thomas Aquinas Church at 7:30pm.
Music Director John Clare had a chance to ask the group a few questions before their tour started:
1. When you return to a town, does it make a difference? Are there favorites? (Do you look for local food/drink?)
When we're travelling around the world we always have to deal with the "unknown". We have uncountable new experiences, we meet new people, and we get a lot of new impressions. This is fantastic and we love it – as long as all experiences are positive…
And local food and drinks are always welcome!
So – a return to a nice place is a fantastic thing, too: We know the place already; we remember that we had a nice time during our last stay. And Purdue was clearly wonderful! Our first visit was more than six years ago – on one of our first US concert tours, we had a big audience and the resonance was great.
2. How did you come up with your Shakespeare program? (Isn't odd that musicians – and theatres – celebrate the death of composers/playwrights?)
We don't celebrate the death of Shakespeare; we just take the 400th anniversary as an opportunity to have a spotlight and to create a concert program. And now – in 2017 – we don't have an anniversary, but Shakespeare is an interesting figure every year!
We did a big research on music that was written on Shakespeare's words. And this was not so easy – all the theater plays are material for big opera… and there are only five of us. But there are interesting excerpts of the Tragedies and Comedies that had inspired composers to write songs on it. And there are the sonnets. We found a huge number of wonderful vocal pieces – sometimes we sing the same poem in different compositions. And we found really convincing contemporary compositions on Shakespeare's poems.
3. There's such a great tradition of chamber singing groups (from Comedian Harmonists to the King's Singers) – who are your idols/role models? Did you ever think you'd make a living singing (in a chamber group)?
A dream has become true when it turned out that we can make our living with Calmus. We're proud of that. We started in 1999 when we all had been students at the conservatory in Leipzig, and the number of concerts grew from year to year. So we decided to try it as a "main job". And it works now for so many years! And of course we had idols – we listened VERY carefully to the recordings of other groups like the King's Singers, Chanticleer, The Real Group, The Hilliard Ensemble, The Comedian Harmonists and others. But we always wanted to create our own sound and our own way of interpreting vocal music.
4. How is it to tour different programs? Has technology changed the way you rehearse or prepare the programs (iPads to see a score; record video with a cell/camera to hear ensemble)?
Singing different programs is important. Otherwise everything would get boring soon! We're enjoying what we do this year, but at the same time we're planning new programs, we're looking for new interesting vocal music or we make projects with other musicians.
The internet makes many things easier: we can use web space for our music, recordings, pictures and files, we can be active on facebook and twitter. Research is much easier, youtube provides a lot of music (on different performance levels!!) and so on. Technology helps a lot and makes everything faster. But in the concerts we still use paper-scores.
5. How do you decide to record a release? (So many formats today!)
We're planning CD projects with our label in Germany. We know what we want to do, the label knows the market – and when we put this together, we have a good chance for a successful product in different formats: as a CD, a download, on iTunes and other formats.
Bonus question – any favorite musicians/ensembles to collaborate with? (could be in the past or future projects)
Some years ago we performed together with a Big Band – this was doubtless a wonderful project. Last Christmas we made some concerts together with Symphony orchestra. Wonderful arrangements had been written therefore. We also enjoy working with small instrumental groups.
A cappella is our main business, but collaborations with other musicians are enriching our horizon and giving us impulses to remain open minded. And this seems important for us!

AZUSA, CA (August 10, 2016) – In the last few years, Brazil has hosted several global multi-week sporting events. Rain Bird Corporation is excited to have been selected as the irrigation system partner for 13 newly constructed multi-sport and green-space venues in and around Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. With a focus on sustainability and Rain Bird's commitment to The Intelligent Use of Water™, these new venues offer the world's best soccer, hockey and rugby player's superior field conditions. Fans also get to enjoy beautiful, water-efficient green spaces in various sports complexes and city parks throughout.
"We are very appreciative for the opportunity to have our irrigation systems help create beautiful green parks and sports fields for the people of Brazil to enjoy for years to come," said JR Bergantino, Director of Rain Bird International. Some of the projects included are the Barra Athletes' Housing Complex, Barra Sports Park Complex, the equestrian cross-country course, the field hockey, soccer and rugby pitches, and Madureira Park. Each project had unique irrigation system requirements and challenges, and given the large size of most of these projects, the design and installation processes were complex. Rain Bird's comprehensive line of commercial irrigation solutions addressed each of the projects' challenges. Rain Bird Brazil's sales and technical team worked alongside a strong network of experienced distributors and contractors to ensure each project was completed to a high standard.
The projects used a variety of Rain Bird® products including R-VAN Adjustable Rotary Nozzles, EAGLE™ 900/950 Series Rotors, PGA and PESB Series Valves, and over 25 miles of XFS Subsurface Dripline. We also installed Rain Bird ESP-LXME and ESP-LXD Controllers and the WS-PRO LT Weather Station to ensure the correct amount of water is distributed, even with unexpected weather changes.


We currently have ministries on the following 14 Chicago Metro Area campuses : Benedictine, College of DuPage, College of Lake County, Columbia, DePaul, Dominican, Elmhust, Harper, IIT, Oakton, SAIC, U of C, and UIC. Don't see your campus in the list? We'd love to help you start a ministry on your campus. If you are interested contact Andy Brandt.
Also there is another Campus Crusade for Christ staff team in the area that are at Northwestern and Loyola.

Q: When IP aliasing how does the OS determine which IP address will be used as source for outbound TCP/IP connections? I have a server running Ubuntu Server with four IP addresses aliased on a single NIC.
eth0       192.168.1.100
eth0:0     192.168.1.101
eth0:1     192.168.1.102
eth0:2     192.168.1.103

(Using 192.168.x.x for sake of example, assume these are NAT-ed to a range of public IP addresses)
One of our clients publishes their inventory via FTP, so we log in nightly to download a large file from their server.  Their firewall expects our (passive) FTP connection to be made from 192.168.1.100.
Given that my server logically has four IP addresses on a single adapter, how does the operating system determine which IP address is used as source for outbound TCP/IP connections?
Let's say I ssh into my server on 192.168.1.101 and run FTP interactively.  Will the outbound TCP/IP connection use 192.168.1.101 because the OS knows that's the interface over which my shell is connected?
What if the FTP task is run non-interactively via a cron job where there is no shell?
As you can probably tell, this has me quite confused, so I hope my questions have at least
made sense.
Edit
To clarify why I'm asking -- I haven't made any changes to the routing table and it actually lists 'eth0' as the IFace for the 0.0.0.0 routes.  However, all indications are that it is actually using eth0:0 as the source.
Destination    Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
192.168.1.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 eth0
0.0.0.0        192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    100    0        0 eth0

I can fiddle with the routing table or have our client change their firewall rules to get the behavior I need, but I'm trying to gain a little insight into how this works to know if there's a bug in the OS or just my naive understanding of how all the pieces fit together.
Thanks

A: It uses whatever the default gateway is in the routing table, unless there is a specific route telling it to use another: route -n
EDIT: I read your question too quick it seems...
Since you are using passive mode and the client will always be initiating the connection, I think src ip field in the IP header will always appear as whatever IP the client connected to. If it were active mode the server was initiating the connection, I think it would always be the 'Primary' IP.  If your addresses are in the same subnet, Linux will make the first address you added 'Primary' and the others secondary.
I am not entirely sure though, I would run tcpdump -n and see what it sees as the src IP.
EDIT2: Okay, I wrote the above from the standpoint that you were running the server, so since you are the client and initiating the connection, I think it will always appear to come from the Primary IP address, but again, try it and see with tcpdump.

A: I see in your example that all the ips are too close not to be in the same network
are you sure that you are actually multihoming and not simply having 4 IP aliases?
if the latter is the case then you can set the source ip on a route with something similar to this

/sbin/ip route show
  192.168.222.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.222.178
  169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0  scope link
  default via 192.168.222.1 dev eth0
sudo /sbin/ip route replace default via 192.168.222.1 src 192.168.222.178
/sbin/ip route show
  192.168.222.0/24 dev eth0  proto kernel  scope link  src 192.168.222.178
  169.254.0.0/16 dev eth0  scope link
  default via 192.168.222.1 dev eth0  src 192.168.222.178

see man interfaces on how to make it persistent between reboots

A: Unless your FTP job has a way of specifying the interface to use for connections, I believe it defaults to the first physical interface on the relevant subnet (eth0 in this case). If you had a server with two NICs on different subnets, it'd figure out which interface to use based on the routing table.
As there is only a single physical interface on the system (eth0) and four virtuals/aliases (eth0:0 through eth0:2) on the same subnet, outbound traffic will use the eth0 IP address as the source unless the application is smart enough to declare an outbound interface.

A: You could see which device and src ip address will be used by ip route get command like below:
$ /sbin/ip route get 1.1.1.1
1.1.1.1 via 2.2.2.2 dev eth0  src 2.2.2.2
    cache  mtu 1500 advmss 1460 hoplimit 64

I haven't tried this in aliased environment, but hope this helps.

A: By default, on Linux, if an interface has multiple addresses that are on different subnets, traffic destined for the respective subnets will have the proper source IP.  That is, if eth0 has two addresses 192.168.1.1/24 and 10.1.1.1/8, then traffic to anything on the 10.0.0.0 subnet will have source 10.1.1.1, and traffic to anything on the 192.168.1.0 subnet will have source 192.168.1.1.  You can also assign source addresses explicitly in this case by using the "src 1.2.3.4" option to "ip route".
In your case, though, all your addresses are on the same subnet, so the "primary" one (as revealed by "ip addr list dev eth0") is used as the source IP for traffic exiting on that interface.  I think it's possible to control the source IPs in this case just using "ip route", but I've found it easier to use iptables to rewrite the source addresses for traffic of interest.
If you want to force a specific source address to be used for specific destinations, you can do it with a SNAT rule:
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 -d dest-IP-or-net/mask -s primary-IP-of-eth0 -j SNAT --to-source desired-source-IP

So if your "primary" eth0 IP is 192.168.100.1, but you want traffic to 1.2.3.4 to have a source of 192.168.100.2, then do this:
iptables -t nat -I POSTROUTING -o eth0 -d 1.2.3.4/0 -s 192.168.100.1 -j SNAT --to-source 192.168.100.2

Note that the "-s 192.168.100.1" is important: it prevents forwarded traffic's source addresses being rewritten by this rule.
If you are going to implement complex network configurations on Linux, you should read the Linux Advanced Routing and Traffic Control documentation, http://lartc.org

A: When establishing an outbound connection, your server will look in its routing table to determine which of your four interfaces to use; your TCP connections will have a source IP of your exit interface.
netstat -rn

Will give you the output of your routing table; look for any specific entries matching the client IP you are trying to connect to. If none exist, then you will be using a default route (0.0.0.0, mask 0.0.0.0). If you have multiple default routes, the one with the lowest cost will be the one used.

ISLAMABAD: Heads of National Assembly's four standing committees were elected as the process of electing chairmen of the lower house panels as per the quota agreed upon by the government and the opposition kicked off on Monday.
Chairmen of the standing committees on communication and overseas Pakistanis could not be elected due to lack of quorum.
The NA panels on religious affairs and anti-narcotics will be headed by Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal's Maulana Asadur Rehman and Maulana Salahuddin Ayubi respectively while standing committees on defense production and education and training will be headed by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz's Chaudhry Iftikhar Nazir and Mian Najeebuddin Owaisi respectively.
Speaking to the media after the session, Chairman Standing Committee on Religious Affairs Maulana Asad, who is the son of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, said that the committee's second meeting will soon be called to hold discussion on hike in Hajj costs.
Responding to a question over appointment of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) chairman, he said that decisions that had already been taken should not be made controversial.
Meanwhile, the newly elected chairman of Standing Committee on Anti-Narcotics, Ayubi said that the drugs business at public places including educational institutions was an instance of "silent terrorism". He claimed that he knew influential behind the drugs mafia and vowed to take action against those involved in drug peddling.
Sessions of the standing committees for defense, finance, parliamentary affairs, energy, privatisation, commerce and textile, Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan affairs, National Food Security, industry and production, climate change, government assurances and term and conditions have also been called on Tuesday for the election of their respective chairmen.
Last week, NA Speaker Asad Qaiser had formed 36 standing committees of the lower house comprising MNAs from different parties and independent lawmakers.
Interestingly, no federal minister was named in the standing committees. They would only participate as ex-officio members in the meetings of the committees related to their ministries and would be accountable for the performance of their departments.
As opposed to the past, the treasury members have a majority only of a few seats against the opposition.
The highlight of the National Assembly standing committees was the inclusion of central leaders of the opposition parties. Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif and Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari have become members of the committees.

Some Alternative Live TV Streaming Apps To Hotstar
By admin / July 25, 2020
These days, entertainment has become very important as everyone has a tough day at work or anywhere and wants to entertain themselves to relieve themselves of all the tension. And entertainment comes in many forms. As technology arrived, it changed the entire definition of entertainment. Developments in technology happened to bring with them many changed versions of entertainment. Today, we live in the internet era, and the forms that we can define entertainment are televisions, computer gaming, and such things.
Internet and smartphones have reduced the need for TVs and computers to provide what we see on the TV. Instead, we can watch movies, serials, sports, comedy, or anything that one could want on our smartphones. These are done with the help of apps and so on. One such app is the Hotstar, and today, and we'll see the Hotstar alternatives.
HOTSTAR ALTERNATIVES:
After a tough and long search, we've found a few apps that might serve as alternatives to Hotstar. But all of them are not expected to be on par with what Hotstar can do. So here's the list of Hotstar alternatives:
Yupp TV:
Yupp TV is also a similar application to Hotstar as it also has over 200 channels up its sleeve. It also supports online live streaming like sports, movies and the likes. One disadvantage of this from Hotstar is that all channels are not fully free, and they can be fully accessed only by premium users. This app's APK can be sideloaded from the internet. However, it has one advantage over Hotstar, in that it helps one even record what you like with the help of this app.
Ditto TV:
Everyone must be aware of the Zee Group of entertainment, which has a huge series of channels. And when they own one, you can understand why this application has the most online streaming channels, including TV serials and movies. Moreover, they provide TV guides to enable one to know which channel is broadcasting which shows. So, it becomes a very user-friendly application. Moreover, they do live to a stream of all-important TV channels. And also work very well even if your connection is slow and poor, making them the best alternative to Hotstar, except for sport-lovers.
Jio TV:
The latest alternative to Hotstar is the one which was the talk of a country for days. It's the Reliance Jio's Jio TV. But this is not so efficient a competitor to Hotstar as it has a variety of limitations. It is available only for those who use the Jio SIM and the 4G SIM-only, which is a major drawback, although the Jio SIM itself was free of cost. But if you are a person with a 4G supporting device, you can treat your eyes to the pleasure that comes with 300+ channels. But live streaming of channels is not one of its strongholds.
SonyLiv:
This is not a very big application, and it can give you channels that are broadcasted by Sony entertainment Pvt Ltd although there are a few movies available. Unfortunately, a sport is a feeble thing here with just one Sports channel, the SonySix.
Voot:
Our final contender for today is the Voot application which is an app of colours TV, and so you might know what to expect from them. A large collection of cartoons for kids, movies and a live telecast of the Big Boss season are its standout features. Sports don't have a place here.
So, we have seen some of the Hotstar alternatives, but all of them have their share of pros and cons, and so based on your interests and requirements, you can choose any of them.
