P&L Talk Series with Integral's Harpal Sandhu
Galen Stops
Harpal Sandhu, CEO of Integral, talks to Profit & Loss about the launch of his new cryptocurrency exchange, and how he sees the crypto markets evolving in the future.
Profit & Loss: What was the genesis of Mint Exchange?
Harpal Sandhu: A lot of people don't realise that the derivatives markets in cryptoassets is actually quite a lot larger than the physical market. Because of this, we were speaking to a lot of FX brokers, people who were trading large amounts of crypto and CFDs, and they were having problems trying to hedge those positions because, unlike FX they can't go to prime brokers or prime-of-primes in order to access liquidity, so there's very few places that these firms can go in order to hedge their crypto exposures.
We had some very direct conversations with these firms who were asking us if we can deploy our FX technology and infrastructure that they already use in FX on the crypto side. Our initial reaction was: 'Absolutely, we can do that. We'll just deploy it in the exact same way', but as we dug a bit deeper, we realised that the infrastructure doesn't actually exist in the crypto markets that would allow us to provide services at just a technology level to help these firms solve their hedging needs.
That's why we decided to set up a separate, independently capitalised entity that was designed as what we would call in the fiat world a typical exchange – meaning that it's not just a matching engine but also aggregates up all liquidity pools in the crypto markets. The exchange uses Integral technology to link up the liquidity of about 22 major crypto exchanges (although I consider many of them to be brokers rather than 'exchanges' in the traditional sense of the word) with market makers who can add liquidity and brokers' own resting orders from their warehouses to create a single, consolidated liquidity pool and then provide modern infrastructure enabling firms to access that pool.
Underlying the whole exchange is a clearing solution, so firms open an account with this new clearing house and then trade against the exchange on an aggregated basis. The whole set up is designed to offer FX quality infrastructure to the crypto market, it's in a whole different league compared to the REST APIs, Javascript and Python that are available in the market right now.
P&L: When exactly did Mint Exchange launch?
HS: We've been working on it since September of 2017. We launched it in beta in August 2018 and then the first customers went live in September. The exchange itself handles the top five cryptocurrencies today – so bitcoin, bitcoin cash, litecoin, ethereum and XRP – as physicals with physical delivery.
P&L: Obviously in the year between when you started working on the exchange and its launch, the price of cryptocurrencies plummeted dramatically. Has this impacted enthusiasm from your clients for this asset class and subsequently your platform?
HS: Maybe if we'd started in September 2017 we'd have felt more of a change, but starting where we did, in September 2018, things have actually gotten better and better each month. Because we were able to take the existing technology and infrastructure from an existing FX firm, we have been able to keep our costs significantly lower than other exchanges and therefore we have extremely low transactions fees. By comparison, some of the other firms in the market expanded too quickly in 2017 and early 2018 and are having to deal with a lot of restructuring issues as a result, while others are having to play catch up to build the required institutional level of infrastructure.
P&L: Long term, do you see cryptocurrencies and the traditional FX markets remaining distinct and separate, or do you think eventually it will all trade in one place?
HS: It's hard to know. I would say that for regulatory reasons, I think that they will stay separate for quite some time. In fact, that was another reason why we had to roll out Mint Exchange as a separate entity, because it is subject to a number of different regulatory regimes that Integral, as a pure technology platform, is not.
P&L: Having previously built out an OTC FX platform, were there significant differences when you were putting together this crypto exchange?
HS: Oh yes, it was very different than FX. Although we were able to use the underlying Integral platform, we had to make some very specific extensions in order to support crypto trading. Everything from increased precision to settlement mechanisms to the microstructures of what works and doesn't work is different – and the expectations and service levels in crypto are totally different to FX.
In existing crypto markets, you might send an order and never get an answer back from your counterpart. Ever. Then you try to call the back office of that counterpart but there's no telephone number. So, you send an email, but to whom? There's just a generic support@exchange.com email and then literally four days after you send the email someone responds saying that, yes, the deal got done. They explain that the message didn't go through and it didn't appear on the website because they were having some problems with their systems that day.
What I'm saying is that you have to build resilience into every single bilateral relationship in the crypto market, whereas in FX this isn't required because there is a service level expectation that doesn't exist yet in crypto. I would say that crypto is where FX was in 1993, before the Internet.
P&L: Given these similarities, do you expect this market to evolve in a similar way to FX then?
HS: Yes, but much faster. What took FX 25 years of natural organic growth might take only three to five years in crypto, and here's why I think we're well placed to capitalise on this.
If you look at the FX market today, it's a predominantly OTC market that is largely dominated by the banks. These banks have their own proprietary customer networks, but not many of the major exchange platforms really have such a network of bespoke connections in place, instead they just have a central limit order book.
Crypto is an extreme version of an OTC market and so one of the reasons why FX technology hasn't been coming into this market effectively is because the major exchanges don't have technology that works in OTC markets and the banks won't go into crypto for regulatory reasons. There are very few firms that currently have the right OTC technology that can move over from FX to crypto, and Integral is one of them.
P&L: One key difference between FX and crypto that you've highlighted are the market participants involved. You've said the banks won't come in yet for regulatory reasons, so who do you see driving growth in this market?
HS: Yes, the banks won't risk their existing franchises until there's some regulatory clarity and there's no evidence that there will be any time soon. That's another reason why we had to create Mint Exchange as a separate entity – because we needed to add all the other layers that the banks were unwilling to provide. That's why, for example, we had to build a clearing house instead of using a bank prime broker.
But let's remember something: the banks were never really the customers themselves in FX, banks were the intermediaries between the customers. Then the real question is: which of the banks' customers will start using cryptocurrencies?
I think the answer is: lots of them. I think corporations will use crypto to facilitate fiat payments because it's cheaper than using the banking network, I think asset managers will start investing in crypto as a store of value and as an investment, and I think speculators will be investing in crypto as the retail guys have already been doing. So then if I've got retail speculators and I've got asset managers and I've got corporations, well, who else was ever investing in FX?
It's the same three players, except in FX you had banks that were acting as intermediaries amongst those customers. In crypto, it's going to be fintech companies that have OTC technology and credit and clearing intermediation entities in place who will play the same role that banks did in the OTC FX market.
P&L: One of the consequences of FX being an OTC market is that it remains highly fragmented. You mentioned crypto being an extreme OTC market and we've certainly seen a huge fragmentation of liquidity already. But, as a consequence of the crypto bear market, do you see a thinning of the crowd in terms of the platforms and service providers out there? Is this leading towards liquidity consolidation?
HS: That's a very interesting question, but I would actually take a slightly deeper view on this. Looking back a couple of years ago when crypto had massively high margins, everybody wanted to get into it. These margins funded the entry of hundreds, potentially even thousands, of people who wanted to play some level of intermediation. Now the initial role that they wanted to play was as a broker, but since there was nowhere to offset their risk, they started deploying internal order books themselves to offset risk amongst their customers.
That is what has led to the massive fragmentation of the liquidity. Individual users needed somewhere to trade so they would go to their local broker, the local broker had nowhere else to go so they created their own order books, and then there was a very, very loose knit of connectivity amongst those books by the prop trading firms who are trying to trade against them. The brokers themselves never really wanted to be exchanges, they just wanted to service their customers and so they ended up becoming mini exchanges themselves.
We think that as platforms like Mint Exchange start to emerge, those brokers will get out of the business of running small order books and just connect into these centralised markets, just as they do now in equities and every other market. That's because by accessing this liquidity, the brokers significantly reduce their costs, they reduce their risks and they get a higher level of service so that they can in turn better serve their customers.
So yes, I think in the next phase of development in the crypto market we'll see a concentration of better liquidity. But there will also be a proliferation of brokers because now they will be able to open up much more easily as they just have to deal with their customers and can offset all their risk on the exchanges. Then there will be a third phase where there has to be some rationalisation and shake-out, but right now this market is still so rich, so fragmented, so big and so under-served. We're still in the early phases of development.
P&L: You mentioned your clearing house before, how is that capitalised?
HS: It's capitalised primarily by investors. Integral put in capital and investors put in capital, so the clearing house functions like a traditional exchange and is in the process of being mutualised out to the primary customers. Again, this is good for the brokers because it gives them a utility whereby they can put capital in the centralised exchange and then offset risk with each other.
P&L: Custody has been a sticking point for many firms in the crypto space. Can you talk about how customer funds will be held at Mint?
HS: Right now, our custody solution is evolving. For the time being we have bundled custody into the exchange service itself for these major institutions. While the accounts themselves are segregated, the customers do face off against Mint Exchange. We've kept the solution very simple. We don't offer margining; everything is fully funded.
P&L: Are you targeting existing FX clients with this platform or is the focus more on crypto-specific firms?
HS:Our initial intent was to just service our existing FX customers, that's why we tailored the whole platform to them. Having done that quite well, other firms in the crypto market have started knocking on our door, so my guess based on the feedback that we're getting is that it will eventually become a lot more balanced. Right now we're keeping our resources and our focus on existing customers, but over time the market will migrate to where the friction is lower, and we think that by providing better technology at lower costs with access to more liquidity means that more and more crypto-focused firms will start to move over.

As a result, where do you give? After asking donors of all levels that question, I found that many of us give less than we could, or we give haphazardly: to our school because it's a place we know, to charities where we've met a member of the team, or based on rough proxies for impact, like 'overhead ratios'. Would you invest in a company just because you know someone who works there? Would you expect a company to grow and develop new IP without ever spending more than 10% of its budget on research, management, PR, marketing, accounting, and more? Yet we hold nonprofits to these arbitrary standards because no good metrics on 'impact' exist yet.
We started Agora in order to improve the philanthropic sector by bringing the transparency, rigor and ease of for-profit investment platforms to charitable giving. We apply an asset management approach to giving by taking each donor's unique goals and vision, developing a custom portfolio of nonprofits, and facilitating the allocation of capital directly. Our goal is to support a dialogue around impact by moving away from proxies like overhead ratios and building a universe of metrics focused on real outcomes. Together with donors, we empower the highest-impact nonprofits to achieve their goals.
How does it work? We allow individuals to act as philanthrocapitalists—basically, allowing them to to treat their charitable capital like an investment. Similar to a mutual fund, we help individuals support causes based on their preferences, rather than individual nonprofits. Individuals can set up funds with less risky, 'blue chip' stocks, or innovative, 'venture' philanthropy and individual nonprofits such as their alma mater. It's a very cool and convenient way to manage your whole donation portfolio in one place, and you can give to any nonprofit in the world through our system. Our recommendations are based on extensive research by our partners: major foundations and impact evaluators. Every nonprofit recommended by Agora is top quality. This allows individuals to support the causes they care about as a whole, like water and sanitation, with diversified risk and a comprehensive set of interventions.
Our work is still at the early stages – we are taking on a major goal — and we are so grateful to each and every donor who is embarking on this journey with us.


Contingency management therapy (CMT) is an approach that involves giving patients tangible rewards to reinforce positive behaviors such as abstinence. Studies have shown that incentive-based interventions are very effective in driving success in rehabilitation and recovery programs.
What is an Alcohol Abuser?
Drinking alcohol in excess or as a way to cope with stressors or avoid problems can lead to dependence and then addiction. Nearly 14 million people—more men than women—in the United States are dependent on alcohol or have alcohol problems.
Alcohol is classified as a central nervous system depressant and results in issues similar to those caused by medications such as tranquilizers, barbiturates, and general anesthetics.
When an individual uses alcohol over a long period of time, the body becomes dependent on the substance which means that suddenly stopping the intake of alcohol can lead to the individual experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
So many people suffer from alcohol problems these days and for many, there are feelings of guilt or shame which can actually intensify the issue. Fortunately, alcohol abuse help is available if you ask for it but, the problem for many, is that they are not ready to accept that they have a problem. Therefore, they don't reach out for help.
It's easy for alcohol intake to increase substantially without awareness. You may think that you are drinking to a moderate level but in fact, you are drinking far more than you think. It may have started off by being the odd drink on a Friday night after work, but if work pressures increased dramatically, the one night of drinking became two or three and so on. If this sounds familiar, know that it's an easy trap to fall into and it's important to eradicate feelings of guilt or shame as this will only compound the problem.
When alcohol abuse occurs alongside stressful situations and issues in life, this can make the problem worse, so understanding why is paramount to fixing the issue which is likely to mean seeking professional counseling.


Why is it the small things seem to matter most – especially in the face of something truly awful?
The example that always comes to mind first is what happened after the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103, which rained down over Lockerbie, Scotland. When the investigation was finally over, officials were about to return the luggage and belongings of the victims to their families, when villagers stopped them – everything was filthy from the crash. So volunteers laundered all the clothing and cleaned all the belongings before they were returned.
In the face of losing your loved one, muddy clothing is hardly worth mentioning. But there's something that always catches in my throat about someone saying, "Stop. We can't return their things looking like that." One small dignity somehow returns us to our humanity when it seems lost.
I've seen many examples of this, from New York City shop owners handing out free food and water to anyone who needed it on Sept. 11, 2001, to nurses who make sure there are at least a dozen types of bandages to choose from for children with cancer. No bottle of water or Ninja Turtles bandage can take away the horror. But the act of giving them to someone in need says much about the best of who we are, even when things are at their worst.
Here's the latest example: The staff at the Catholic Legal Immigration Network heard from one of the CLINIC attorneys who's been working in Artesia, New Mexico, that many of the women and children detained by immigration officials there are demoralized and feeling hopeless. CLINIC was founded by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and operates as a legal support agency for diocesan immigration programs. Some detainees are so hopeless – USCCB officials have said families are essentially in prison there – that they are considering going home to face the dangers they fled rather than stay locked up.
That was a few weeks ago. To date, Maura said, they've received more than 800 – most of them written by women religious.
The letters and cards are given to the families languishing in federal detention – they've gotten so many that in addition to Artesia, they're also going to the families held at the Berks County, Penn., Residential Center, where the chaplain says they have given the detainees badly needed hope and encouragement.
No letter, of course, can erase the horror these families fled, or the indignity of being detained, rather than granted refugee status. It doesn't change the economic situations in Guatemala, Honduras and El Salvador or the violence it has created, just as clean laundry didn't bring back any daughters, husbands or friends from Pan Am 103. There's no bandage that takes away the cancer from a child.
But sometimes the small things make all the difference when what is needed most is a bit of comfort or a sliver of hope.
You, too, can help: Send your cards and letters in care of Maura Moser; Catholic Legal Immigration Network, Inc.; 8757 Georgia Avenue, Suite 850; Silver Spring, MD 20910.

Yorktowne Hotel Redevelopment: $10 million
The York County Industrial Development Authority wants to find a buyer for the Yorktowne Hotel, and that could include the IDA possibly purchasing the iconic 121-room, downtown hotel, according to recent comments from IDA chairman Jack Kay.
Meanwhile, the Authority is seeking funds to help "reestablish and retain" the 90-year-old hotel, Office of the Budget documents said. The plan would involve the demolition of the hotel's garage and a portion of the hotel added in 1957.
"Discussion is also being held with employer in medical field to convert two floors of the hotel into office suites to improve cash flow and add employees and provide customers for the food and beverage services during the work week," the document said.
Darrell Auterson, York County Economic Alliance president and CEO, said past RACP projects have led to some of York County's most prominent landmarks, including the baseball stadium and the J.D. Brown Center at York College.
"York County has developed a lot of credibility over the years with its RACP projects because the types of projects we've been able to attract funding for have been successful," Auterson said. "That bodes well for the community."
Still, the funding process is long and complex, and just because a grant is awarded doesn't mean the grantee will receive it. Citing one example, Sheridan said Think Loud Development, which was awarded $7 million last year, hasn't spent any of that money yet.
Still, David Cross, Redevelopment Authority chair, said past projects have shown their value in spurring further growth.
"That's really what economic development is about," Cross said, "doing projects that set themselves up for greater development."

L'archidiocèse de Foggia-Bovino (en latin :  ; en italien : ) est un archidiocèse métropolitain de l'Église catholique d'Italie appartenant à la région ecclésiastique des Pouilles.

Territoire

L'archidiocèse est situé dans une partie de la province de Foggia, les autres parties de cette province sont partagées par ses suffragants: Cerignola-Ascoli Satriano, Lucera-Troia, Manfredonia-Vieste-San Giovanni Rotondo, San Severo; ainsi que par une petite partie du diocèse d'Ariano Irpino-Lacedonia pour la commune d'Anzano di Puglia. Son territoire couvre une superficie de  divisé en 54 paroisses regroupées en 6 archidiaconés.

Le siège archiépiscopal est dans la ville de Foggia où se trouve la cathédrale basilique de l'Assomption ; sur le diocèse, deux autres églises ont le rang de basilique mineure :  et le  à Borgo Incoronata, frazione de Foggia. À Bovino, la cocathédrale de Bovino garde le souvenir de l'ancien diocèse.

Histoire

L'archidiocèse actuel est fondé en 1986 par la fusion du diocèse de Bovino et de l'archidiocèse de Foggia par le décret Instantibus votis de la congrégation pour les évêques. L'archidiocèse prend son nom actuel à la suite de cette union.

Diocèse de Bovino

L'origine du diocèse de Bovino est incertaine et mal documentée. Une bulle du pape Formose de 893 assigne les sièges épiscopaux de Bovino, Ascoli Satriano et Siponto à la juridiction des évêques de Bénévent, indiquant que ces anciens évêchés avaient été supprimés lors de la période lombarde et réunis à l'archidiocèse de Bénévent. Le premier évêque historiquement imputable à Bovino est Giovanni, mentionné dans un décret de Landolfo, archevêque en 971. À cette époque, la région est reconquise par les Byzantins, qui procèdent à la restauration du diocèse de Bovino, qui est désormais désigné comme suffragant de la province ecclésiastique de l'archidiocèse de Bénévent.

Dès le , l'existence du prieuré bénédictin de San Pietro di Olivola est documentée sur le territoire de Sant'Agata di Puglia, dépendant de l'abbaye de Cava dei Tirreni, dont il ne reste que des ruines. À la fin du , Robert Ier construisit l'église en l'honneur de saint Marc, évêque d'Æcæ ; La cathédrale de Bovino est érigé au cours de l'épiscopat de Pierre Ier, et consacrée en 1231, qui comprenait l'église San Marco, connue aujourd'hui sous le nom populaire de Cappellone di San Marco.

Au , l'évêque Ferdinando D'Anna (1541-1565) fait restructurer la cathédrale et, comme théologien du pape Pie IV, participe au concile de Trente où il se signale par la contribution apportée à la codification des décrets conciliaires. Son successeur, Giovanni Domenico D'Anna (1565-1578), frère de Ferdinando, reste éloigné du diocèse à cause de graves accusations de simonie, ce qui le conduit également à une peine qu'il doit purger dans les prisons du château Saint-Ange.

C'est seulement avec Angelo Giustiniani (1578-1600) que le processus de réforme du diocèse et d'application des décrets tridentins commence par les premières visites des paroisses et la célébration de synodes diocésains. Son successeur Paolo Tolosa (1601-1615), poursuit le travail de réforme de Giustiniani tout en étant absent du diocèse parce qu'il est nommé nonce apostolique de Charles-Emmanuel Ier. Lors de son épiscopat, le collège jésuite est fondé à Bovino, l'ancien hôpital est confié à l'administration des frères hospitaliers et une première tentative de création d'un séminaire diocésain mais qui échoue par manque de fonds pour son maintien. La question du séminaire demeure l'un des problèmes les plus urgents pour le diocèse de Bovino, mais reste longtemps différée. En 1685, Angelo Cerasi devient évêque et dirige le diocèse pendant quarante-trois ans jusqu'en 1728 ; il fait d'innombrables visites pastorales et fonde les archives diocésaines. Cet évêque est responsable de la préparation d'une audience en 1694, où tous les bénéfices de l'évêque sont répertoriés avec le revenu relatif.

Le  est marqué par l'épiscopat du franciscain  (1729-1752), béatifié par le pape Jean-Paul II en 1989. Une autre procédure de béatification est ouverte pour l'évêque capucin Nicola Molinari (1783-1792). En 1860, l'évêque Giovanni Montuoro, accusé d'instaurer un soulèvement populaire, est contraint de fuir et de se réfugier à Rome jusqu'à sa mort (1862). Plus tard, le diocèse reste vacant jusqu'en 1871.

En décembre 1974, Giuseppe Lenotti, ancien évêque de Foggia, est également nommé évêque de Bovino, réunissant ainsi les deux diocèses in persona episcopi, un statut également maintenu avec l'évêque suivant, Salvatore De Giorgi.

Archidiocèse de Foggia

À l'origine, Foggia fait partie du diocèse de Troia. Détruite par un tremblement de terre en 1731, la ville est reconstruite et connaît un développement économique et démographique considérable, à tel point qu'en 1806, Joseph Bonaparte en fait la capitale de la Capitanata. Le 23 septembre 1806, le pape Pie VII érige l'église de l'Assomption à Foggia (où se garde l'image de la Vierge) en basilique mineure et le 2 décembre 1808, il accorde aux chanoines qui officient le privilège de porter l'habit de prévôt.

Le 25 juin 1855, soutenu par l'évêque de Troia, Antonio Monforte, et par le roi Ferdinand II, le pape Pie IX érige Foggia en diocèse immédiatement soumis au Saint-Siège par la bulle pontificale Ex hoc Summi Pontificis ; la juridiction de l'évêque s'étend sur le territoire de la ville de Foggia et sur celui de l'ancienne abbaye de San Marco in Lamis, alors soumise à l'archidiocèse de Manfredonia. Le premier évêque de Foggia est Bernardino Maria Frascolla (1856-1869), accusé d'être la cause du désordre et de l'anarchie qui règne dans la région de Daunie à la suite de la réunification et, pour cette raison, il est condamné à l'exil à Côme, mais acquitté en 1866.

La première moitié du  est marquée par l'épiscopat de  (1924-1954), dont la cause de béatification est en cours. De 1924 à 1955, avec les évêques Farina et Amici, le siège de Foggia est réuni in persona episcopi au diocèse de Troia. Le 29 septembre 1933, il est intégré à la région ecclésiastique du Bénévent par le décret Iam pridem de la congrégation pour les évêques.

Le 30 avril 1979, le pape Jean-Paul II et la bulle Sacrorum Antistites, applique les normes établies par le concile Vatican II en matière de circonscriptions ecclésiastiques, élève Foggia au rang d'archidiocèse métropolitain et rassemble dans sa nouvelle province ecclésiastique tous les diocèses de la Capitanata.

Archidiocèse de Foggia-Bovino

Le 14 décembre 1974, Giuseppe Lenotti, évêque de Foggia, est également nommé évêque de Bovino et de Troia, réunissant in persona episcopi les trois sièges. Le 30 septembre 1986, par le décret Instantibus votis de la congrégation pour les évêques, les deux diocèses de Foggia et de Bovino sont unis et la nouvelle circonscription ecclésiastique prend son nom actuel. L'union avec le diocèse de Troia prend fin.

En 1994, la partie de la municipalité de San Marco in Lamis appartenant au diocèse de San Severo et comprenant le  est annexée à l'archidiocèse. En 1999, l'archevêque Giuseppe Casale crée le musée diocésain de Bovino afin de promouvoir l'intérêt pour l'art et de prévenir la dégradation de l'héritage culturel remarquable de l'ancien diocèse de Bovino. Le  à Lamis abrite le musée d'histoire, de liturgie et d'art, créé en 1979, ainsi que la riche bibliothèque de l'ancien monastère.

(Ecofin Agency) - The International Islamic Trade Finance Corporation (ITFC) announced that on February 5, 2019, it granted a $154 million loan to Tunisian Company of Electricity and Gas (STEG).
The loan agreement was signed in Tunis by the ITFC executive director Hani Salem Sonbol, and Moncef Harrabi, STEG's CEO in the presence of Tunisia's minister of development, investment and international cooperation Zied Laâdhari.
It will be used to balance STEG's books that degraded recently due to the decline in oil prices on the international market and the depreciation of the local currency against the USD and the Euro. The loan will also help pay for natural gas imported from Algeria.
This loan falls within the framework of the promise made by the Islamic Development Bank's ITFC head office, during its 43rd annual meeting (in April 2018 in Tunis) to provide $1.5 billion to Tunisia.

O'hara's Irish Lager is a traditional, Helles Lager style beer originating from Munich, Germany.
O'hara's Irish Lager is a traditional, Helles Lager style beer originating from Munich, Germany. Exceptionally rich in flavours, the Helles Lager develop a unique blend of texture and aromas.
O'Hara's Irish Lager is produced by Carlow. This beer shows more bitterness than more traditional Lager beers, with a perfectly balanced finish. A blend of hops, special malts and Lager yeasts allows for the flavours to burst and enhance the tasting with light hoppy notes mingled with a malty sweetness. A beautiful tribute to European Lager style beers.
Colour: golden and topped with light foam.
Palate: light hops and a malty sweetness mingle beautifully, with rich and fruity undertones and intense bitterness.
Finish: dry with a pleasant bitter after taste.

Carlo II Malatesta ( – 14 November 1438) was an Italian politician and condottiero. He was lord of Pesaro, Gradara, Senigallia, Fossombrone and Civitanova Marche. He was the son of Malatesta IV Malatesta and Elisabetta da Varano.

Life
In 1409 he followed his father to Florence to fight against the King of Naples's army. In 1421 he fought for the Papal States against Perugia and for a short time for the Florentines against Milan. He and his brother Galeazzo were captured at Gradara in 1424 after their father's and their cousin Carlo's defeat at Zagonara by the Visconti. Carlo joined the Visconti army and in 1426 fought in Romagna against the Anti-Visconti League.

In 1427 he was made captain general of the Visconti armies, putting him in command of 1,200 cavalry in the battle against Francesco Bussone. The Visconti force was defeated at Pizzighettone and Carlo was captured again until being freed when the two sides made peace. In 1428 Carlo married Vittoria Colonna, Pope Martin V's niece, but the couple remained childless. In 1430 he fought against Rimini but was defeated and fled from Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta. Shortly afterwards he defended Bologna against an attack by Anton Galeazzo Bentivoglio.

In 1431 a revolt broke out in Pesaro, forcing Carlo to retreat to Fossombrone then to Gradara and elsewhere. In 1433 he helped the Montefeltro and the Visconti reconquer their own lands. The resulting treaty brought peace between the Papal States and the two Malatesta brothers, Carlo and Galeazzo. Carlo returned to Pesaro on 24 September and killed all those who had revolted two years earlier.

2020 Government Entry-level Jobs in Irvine, CA
You may have heard that entry-level jobs in government related positions have fantastic benefits. While this is often the case, it's also important for you to understand that jobs in government related fields vary widely from one job to the next. There are many, many different types of positions available, and it is rare for two positions to look exactly the same. You should know, however, that for any government job, you will need to have a squeaky clean background, a sound mind, and a drive that will help you to beat out the competition. If you've got all that, then you're ready to start looking and applying for positions. To show you just how vast and broad the field is, consider that all of these positions are government positions: police officer, FBI agent, IRS agent, postal worker, transportation security administration worker, foreign service officer, and more. So, don't automatically assume that all government employees are mayors or congressmen. There are opportunities for people from all educational and work backgrounds, and all walks of life. The trick is simply to discover your unique skills and interests and to use them to find the perfect position for you. And, if you are looking for high-paying government entry-level jobs that come with plenty of benefits (aren't we all?), there are certainly a few positions to consider. As a criminal investigator, for example, you could easily earn around $88,174 per year. Or, if you'd like to become an economist, you could take home a nice $94,098 per year. Engineers, financial managers, attorneys, and astronomers also tend to do quite nicely as well, but, in the end, you should choose a job based on what you want to do, not on how much it pays.

Kevin Plank In An Interview
sharon mwende 25 Jun 2021
Pssst… we can write an original essay just for you.
Any subject. Any type of essay. We'll even meet a 3-hour deadline.
writers online
Sometimes to get an overview of something, one has to understand its genesis. Those were the words of Kevin Plank in an interview at Boss files. The young man started his entrepreneurial skills at the age of 26 years. At that time, he was a student at Maryland University. He was actively involved in sports and became the captain of the University football team. Later, after graduation, the entrepreneur ventured into business.
Kevin Plank founded his sportswear business in 1996. He used his university savings as startup capital for the business. The business didn't pick up, and within no time, he had no coin in his pocket. However, things took a new turn when he got a supply order from Georgia Tech. The rest is a sweet story of how the company has been growing from one level to another.
During the interview, Kevin plank stated that nothing comes easy, and one has to be ready to take risks. He said that while at the University, he had the habit of looking for ways to make things better. Also, he mentioned that he was smart in exploiting any opportunity that came along. That is how he founded his company after realizing the need for better sports attire.
When asked about the challenges he faced in his early entrepreneurial days, Kevin Plank said the money was the problem. He said that he had to skip his employee's payments at one point to partner with an advertising company. The advert was a significant risk since it took all the money. Fortunately, the partnership brought a lot of profits to Under Armour.
The interview host at one point asked Kevin plank about the foundations of his business. This was more in terms of quality, and his answer was simple. The entrepreneur said that integrity was vital in any business. He added that how you respond to critics matters a lot. The businessman said that he learned to take things positively, which has led to his customer base's growth.
Finalizing the interview, Kevin Plank spoke to the young entrepreneurs. His words were crystal clear as he talked about making decisions. He said one doesn't need to have money to start something, but on the contrary, it is the vision that is needed. Besides business, the entrepreneur is also a philanthropist channeling his resources to the needy.

In contrast to physical property, intellectual property is an intangible asset of a person. They are the legally recognized exclusive rights to creations of the mind. Every creative work requires subsequent investment of time, resources and energy. Thus, it is necessary to recognize and respect the intellectual creations of a creator.
The main aim of the event is to bring awareness among the people about Intellectual property rights legislation India. The proposed event is going to be organized in heartland of India, that is Bundelkhand region of Uttar Pradesh. The region is recently notified as a defense corridor of India.
Event will provide platform for IPR stakeholders to contemplate on Indian innovation and IPR legislation establish process and procedure taking into consideration vast non English speaking population of India. This is the first event which will be organized in Indian native and official language on IPR in India.
The event focuses on delivering knowledge about the common types of Intellectual Property Rights which are patents, copyrights, trademarks, industrial designs, geographical indications, trade secrets, layout designs for integrated circuits and even ideas. There will also be a discussion on how Intellectual property rights provide an incentive to the creator to develop his creation and to share it with other people for the development of the society and how IPRs helps in meeting the challenges in the development like reducing poverty, stimulating economic growth, improving the health status by providing medicines to the poor, improving access to education and contributing the overall sustainable development.


This week: Adaptly's client strategy director in the UK provides tips for UK advertisers to make the most of social media this Black Friday/Cyber Monday, Instagram tests shopping-friendly features in retailers' posts, Facebook reports another stellar quarter, and Twitter shares a holiday shopping infographic.
Black Friday and Cyber Monday are growing in popularity across the pond. UK shoppers spent £3.3 billion during the Black Friday/Cyber Monday weekend last year, and are expected to spend even more in 2016. The best way for UK advertisers to break through the clutter during this competitive shopping period is to reach consumers where they're most engaged: social media. Adaptly's EMEA client strategy director Milana Saric has tips for UK advertisers to make the most of social media leading up to the big weekend.
Instagram is testing new in-app shopping capabilities with 20 US-based retailers to make the product discovery process smoother for consumers. Currently, users have to navigate from an Instagram post to a link in the poster's profile that redirects them to the product page on a retailer's website. The process is clunky and users don't get much information about the merchandise before being redirected to an outside site. This new update will add a 'tap to view' icon on retailers' photos that will load tags showcasing product information and prices for up to five products. Users will be able to conduct more of the browsing process within the Instagram app itself before navigating to the retailer's website to purchase.
Facebook's third quarter was one for the books. The company has consistently beaten earning estimates each quarter and wrapped up Q3 with over $7 billion in revenue. $6.8 billion of that is ad revenue, with 84% from mobile ads alone. Facebook now has 1.79 billion monthly users and 1.18 billion daily active users across the globe.
The first week in November means that the holiday season is officially right around the corner. If your brand hasn't finalized your holiday social campaign plans yet, Twitter has a new infographic that will tempt your ad dollars. 67% of Twitter shoppers use the app during their holiday gift planning phase, and 43% of users are more likely to visit a store after seeing a deal on Twitter. You already know from Adaptly's holiday strategy guide that social advertising is one of the best ways to reach shoppers this season, so check out the infographic to see just how valuable Twitter ads could be to your brand.

A good exterior paint job isn't cheap, but done right, it can easily last 10 or more years. To get the most for your money, follow these steps.
But if you've got wood siding, there's a solid, money-in-the-bank reason why you'd want to repaint rather than switch to fiber-cement, brick, or vinyl. In the short term, repainting or staining costs less. A midrange vinyl siding replacement project will cost you around $10,000, according to Remodeling Magazine's Cost vs. Value report (http://www.remodeling.hw.net/2009/costvsvalue/national.aspx). By comparison, hiring a pro to repaint the same 2,000-square-foot, two-story house costs $4,000 to $6,000.
True, if you're planning to stay in your house for a long time, you'll have to spend that money again. But properly applied, exterior paint can easily last 10 years or longer. The key to a successful job is in the preparation. Here are the steps to take to make sure you get perfect results.
Pigment won't adhere well if you don't wash grime off the house first. A good cleaning agent is water mixed with a phosphate-free cleanser such as Jomax House Cleaner or Green Clean by Sherwin-Williams, which won't harm plantings. "You want to clean off everything: dust, dirt, and mildew," says Paul Dixon of Bionic Man Painting, in Asheville, N.C. "A lot of people don't, and then wonder why the paint comes off."
Mildew, in particular, thrives under fresh paint. A good wash will kill spores so they don't proliferate. You can hand-apply the solution with a sponge, but that requires a lot of up-and-down on a ladder. Most contractors simply apply solution with a pressure washer.
Inspect what you've uncovered and make some decisions. Minor holes or dings in the siding can be easily filled in with a patching putty or compound such as Zinsser's Ready Patch ($20 per gallon). If you've got a major rot problem, summon a carpenter to replace the bad wood.
Apply primer as soon as possible after the previous step. White, gray, or tinted primer provides an even base for topcoats to adhere to, and a uniform canvas from which to survey your work. "Once you get the primer on, now you can see what's really going on," says Mario Guertin, a contractor with Painting in Partnership, in Palatine, Ill.
If you're painting over bare wood or existing latex paint (http://www.houselogic.com/articles/exterior-paints-and-stains-guide-options/), then latex primer is fine. But if you're painting over multiple coats of oil-based paint, it's best to stick with a new coat of oil-based primer.
Siliconized or top-of-the line polyurethane acrylic caulks give paint jobs a smooth, pleasing look. But the benefits aren't purely aesthetic. Tight joints also prevent air leaks and block water penetration. It's worth springing for $7-a-tube polyurethane caulks with 55-year warranties, which will stand up to weather better than 35-year caulks costing less than $3. The average house requires about 7 tubes of caulk; contractors buy them in 12-pack cases and use them for several jobs.
No-brainer here. Painting with water-based acrylic latex is so much easier than dealing with oil-based paints. But choose finishes carefully. As a rule, the higher the sheen, the better the paint is at blocking the sun's damaging rays. Satin is fine for shingles or clapboards, but you'll want gloss paint to protect high-traffic parts of a house, such as window casings, porches, and doorframes. A gallon of premium exterior latex costs $35 to $45.
There is such a thing as too much paint. The more layers, the more likely the paint is to flake off years later. Tread lightly. If you're going from a white house to yellow or cream, you might be able to get by with one coat. Going from a light to a dark house, and vice versa, usually requires two coats.
You can extend the life of a good paint job by inspecting the caulk every year, replacing any that's cracked or missing, and doing minimal touch-up-all easy jobs for homeowners to do themselves.

How to achieve greater protection of the mortar once it has been palletized? How to improve your transportation and storage? How to increase production while saving on costs? These were some of the challenges that Rodacal Beyem trusted to Innova, which were solved thanks to Stretch Hood wrapping technology. The project, carried out in its new plant in Zaragoza, has allowed to increase its production considerably, save on packaging costs and improve the protection of its loads. Read how it was possible!
Rodacal Beyern is dedicated to the manufacture and distribution of products for construction, and specialized in cement and mortars. The company has factories in their headquarters in Roda (Albacete) and in La Muela (Zaragoza), where the renovation project has been carried out.
Rodacal needed a system that would provide greater protection of its final product once palletized. The system they used at the time was not completely satisfactory, since it was a packaging with a wrapping system, which could not provide the protection and total tightness against humidity that the product required. On the other hand, the wrapping caused an added problem since the use of film was quite considerable, causing higher costs in each packaged pallet.
In addition, the cement company was also looking for a packaging that shows better its brand and contents of the pallet.
Innova offered a solution to tackle their protection issues before external agents. With Stretch Hood, the cover adapts to the load, so it is fully protected and waterproof tight, without risk of getting wet or damaged in its storage. In addition, the film used by Stretch Hood is completely transparent, offering total visibility of the pallet content, including their brand and code readability.
The final project in Rodacal has consisted of a Stretch Hood line ETHERNA By Innova with conveyor and centering systems. The Stretch Hood machine covers 4 different pallet formats, adapting the packaing to the different sizes needed.
The installation joins two different product lines to the same final packaging system. Therefore that the packaging capacity has been considerably increased thanks to the Stretch Hood system.
The Stretch Hood solution has also led to considerable savings for Rodacal in the use of consumables (film) and energy, both due to the change of the packaging system used.
For his part, Rodacal Beyern has shown us his satisfaction with the results of the installation and his confidence in Innova and Stretch Hood technology.
For Innova, the Rodacal project has been very enriching, since it allows us to further adapt the Stretch Hood technology to the needs and demands of the construction materials sector.
Thanks to Rodacal for relying in Innova for your project!

Officials from Recover, Rebuild, Restore Southeast Mississippi announced Thursday the organization will receive a $100,000 grant from the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.
R3SM executive director Demetria Simpson said the funds will be used to further the volunteer organization's disaster housing program.
"This is something that we're very excited about, and we're working the logistics out as we speak," Simpson told a crowd of about 30 people gathered at the Lucas-Varnado Volunteer House in downtown Hattiesburg. "But I tell you this: this $100,000 might not be a lot for some, but when you talk about a small nonprofit who are still trying to build their capacity, $100,000 goes a long way towards operating cost."
It's more good news for the organization, following the March dedication of its newly-renovated house on Buschman Street.
R3SM also unveiled a new logo, along with an updated mission statement which reads, "To help Mississippi Pine Belt's most vulnerable RECOVER from natural disasters, substandard housing, economic crisis and toxic effects of chronic poverty, REBUILD their homes, communities and lives, and RESTORE financial stability, dignity and hope."
The organization also announced it has expanded its reach to eight counties across southeast Mississippi: Covington, Jones, Wayne, Marion, Lamar, Forrest, Perry and Greene.
"I've been doing a lot of traveling across the state, and there is a real need for housing," said Holly Knight, vice president of development for The Bennett Group, an Auburn, Ala.-based consulting company that works with R3SM.
"The thing that strikes me so positively is that (the organization) has just really thought about the chronic poverty piece, and that social piece that goes along with housing, and that's really important, and that's how you change lives."
Other developments announced at the gathering:
• Gulfport-based Renaissance Corporation, a nonprofit community development financial institution, announced plans to locate a satellite office in the the Lucas-Varnado Volunteer House.
The organization will offer a first-mortgage program for low-to-moderate-income families, as well as micro-enterprise loans of $50,000 or less and Small Business Administration funding. Renaissance Corporation also has funds set aside for larger commercial deals.
"Going forward, we're looking forward to collaborating with R3SM in the Pine Belt area," said Renaissance president and CEO Kim La Rosa. "As we stand here today, we can see how private, public and nonprofit partners can make a difference in the lives of families in the community, and that's what Renaissance is here to do."
• For the next nine weeks, the Lucas-Varnado Volunteer House will play host to several members of Americorps' Vicksburg region.
"I value the relationship I've had with these great folks, which is why I think it's so important for them to be here in my home city," Simpson said.
• The Lucas-Varnado Volunteer House, headquarters of R3SM, is located at 301 Buschman St., in downtown Hattiesburg. For more information, call 544-5115, visit www.r3sm.org, or email info@r3sm.org.

Seal It With A Kiss
by Rogenna Brewer
To become the first female SEAL, she'll have to match wits with the best…
Lieutenant Tabitha Chapel is determined to join the Teams. She's not about to let a little thing like gender get in her way. She'll use every wile–feminine or otherwise–and her considerable strength of will to win this battle of the sexes. But the limits of her determination are tested by the only Navy SEAL capable of commanding her heart.
Commander Marc Miller is equally determined to keep her out of his program. As the newly appointed CO of BUD/S, he's been tasked with cleaning up SEAL Training. He doesn't need a red-hot redhead compounding the problem. For him Hell Week begins when one well-connected junior officer walks into his office.
The last thing he wants is to be her commanding officer when the only thing he wants is her. The only way to have her––and the surest way to lose her––is to see that she fails.
Will love conquer all or tear them apart?
Blood Of Cain
by Tom Lowe
When Courtney Burke appears at Ponce Marina on a humid summer morning, she leaves Sean O'Brien with a haunting tale. Her story could lead O'Brien down a path that began with a brutal crime forty years earlier and hidden family secrets spawned from the desecration of the innocent. O'Brien learns that Courtney is linked to a series of carnival murders. Police are convinced she's a serial killer, and all of her victims are men. But like the illusions found in the carnival's House of Mirrors, nothing is as it appears. Just beyond the looking glass is where evil watches from a one-way mirror.

In The Forest Of Light And Dark
by Mark Kasniak
After the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill shut down the fishing industry in the Gulf causing Cera's Step Daddy Cade to lose his job, Cera and her parents find themselves in dire straits when they learn that their local bank is planning to foreclose on their home. Now just when Murphy's Law seems to be at its all time worst for Cera and her family, news comes that Cera's grandmother, Lyanna Barrett, has passed. But soon, Cera and her family quickly find out her passing isn't all bad news. In an inheritance letter that Cera's mama (Janine) receives in the weeks that follow her mother's death, she is informed that she is to receive all of her mother's assets which are to include a house in New York, a new Cadillac, and a substantial amount of cold, hard cash.
Reluctant to leave Saraland and move back to New York, Cera's mama is torn but sees no other option other than accepting the inheritance that her mother bequeathed to her and make a fresh start back in her place of birth, Mount Harrison.
After arriving in Mt. Harrison, a picturesque, little Western New York village nestled in a valley below the forest covered mountain from which it gets its name—Cera quickly comes to the understanding as to why her mama, at age eighteen, had elected to run away from her home and head for the Deep South.
Nearly all the village's residence, acting under a curse put upon them by Abellona Abbott (a three hundred-year-old witch that still resides in the forest atop Mt. Harrison and takes the embodiment of her teenage former self) treats Cera and her mama with utter contempt for bringing the Barrett blood line back into the village and thereby angering Abellona Abbott even further because of a grudge the witch still carries against the Barrett family that stretches back to the time of her death.

The Eighties: A Bitchen Time To Be A Teenager!
by Tom Harvey
The decade of the 1980s has been called the Decade of Decadence.
Decadence is defined as "the act or process of falling into an inferior condition or state; deterioration; decay" or my favorite, "unrestrained or excessive self-indulgence." For a decade that brought us Cabbage Patch Kids, Garbage Pail Kids, leg-warmers and New Wave, was it really self-indulgence?! For one kid growing up in the Central Valley of California, it was a time of self-discovery . . . a transformation from a kid, to a teenager, to a young adult . . . his growing up years. At times utterly hilarious, at times poignant and powerful, Tom relives his teenage years in this true-to-the-last-word memoir.
Where were you when John Lennon died? When the Space Shuttle blew up? When Lawrence Taylor ended Joe Theisman's career on live TV? When the Loma Prieta earthquake rocked Game 3 of the 1989 World Series? Tom will tell you where he was and what it meant to him. You'll also hear about first kisses, first loves, a joke about your Uranus, avoiding fistfights, the joys of minimum-wage jobs, college roommates, and WHOLE LOT MORE. If you're one of the 70 million Americans who can claim at least one teen year in the decade, you can relate to the era . . . if your kids can't understand your fondness for your Breakfast Club and Princess Bride DVDs, this book may teach them a thing or two about YOUR growing up years. Go ahead, say the word "bitchen" outloud. Yeah, it was a bitchen time, the Eighties . . .

'Dead corals don't make babies': Great Barrier Reef losing its ability to recover from bleaching

Successive ocean heat waves are not only damaging Australia's Great Barrier Reef, they are compromising its ability to recover, raising the risk of "widespread ecological collapse," a new study has found.
The 2,300-kilometer-long (1,500 mile) reef has endured multiple large-scale "bleaching" events caused by above-average water temperatures in the last two decades, including back-to-back occurrences in 2016 and 2017.
The new study, released Wednesday in the journal Nature, examined the number of adult corals which survived these two events and how many new corals they created to replenish the reef in 2018.
The answer was as bleak as it was stark: "Dead corals don't make babies," the study's lead author, Terry Hughes, said in a press release.
Scientists working on the study found the loss in adult corals caused a "crash in coral replenishment" on the reef, as heat stresses brought about by warming ocean temperatures impacted the ability of coral to heal.

What warmer oceans mean for the planet
"The number of new corals settling on the Great Barrier Reef declined by 89% following the unprecedented loss of adult corals from global warming in 2016 and 2017," said Hughes.
Scientists have long warned of the impact on global warming on the reef, the world's largest reef system and the only living organism that can be seen from space. The reef, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, supports thousands of species – fish, turtles, sharks and marine mammals.
In the introduction to the report, the authors note that environmental changes caused by climate change, "are increasingly challenging the capacity of ecosystems to absorb recurrent shocks and reassemble afterwards, escalating the risk of widespread ecological collapse of (the) current ecosystem."
The study found that one of the most dominant species of coral, Acropora, which provides "most of the three-dimensional coral habitat that support thousands of other species," according to co-author Andrew Baird, had suffered a 93% drop in replenishment following the back-to-back bleaching events of 2016 and 2017.
There are 'winners' and 'losers' among corals as they respond to the accumulating impacts of climate change.

Some of the bleaching of reefs in the northern section has been described as "extreme."
Bleaching occurs when the marine algae that live inside corals die. Of the reefs surveyed in the northern third of the Great Barrier Reef, 81% are characterized as "severely bleached."
"At some reefs, the final death toll is likely to exceed 90%," Andrew Baird, of the ARC Center of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies, says.

Tourism on the Great Barrier Reef generates an annual income of A$5 billion ($3.9 billion) and employs nearly 70,000 people.
Of the reefs surveyed in the northern third of the Reef, 81% are characterized as "severely bleached."
Driven by ocean temperatures that have been 1-2 degrees Celsius (1.8-3.6° F) above average, the bleaching event has left large sections of coral drained of all color and fighting for survival.
The Reef has suffered two mass bleaching events, in 1998 and 2002, but the extent of the bleaching in these years was less severe than in 2016.

Bleak future
Scientists working on the report say they would expect coral recruitment to recover over the next 5 to 10 years, as more corals reach sexual maturity, but only in the absence of another bleaching event. However, with sea temperatures continuing to rise this seems a near-impossiblity.
"It's highly unlikely that we could escape a fifth or sixth event in the coming decade," said co-author Morgan Pratchett.
"We used to think that the Great Barrier Reef was too big to fail – until now," he said.
The recent bleachings follow two previous events, in 1998 and 2002. Scientists predict that the gaps in between bleaching events will only narrow as climate change worsens.
"Reef resilience is now severely compromised by global warming," said Baird.
Previously, when one part of the Reef had been damaged, by, for example, a cyclone, other parts would seed the affected area with coral larvae, another co-author, Morgan Pratchett, noted.
"But now, the scale of severe damage from heat extremes in 2016 and 2017 was nearly 1,500 km (932 miles) – vastly larger than a cyclone track."
He said that while areas of the Reef to the south which, due to cooler waters escaped the bleaching are still in good condition, they are too geographically distant to seed the affected parts further north.
"There's only one way to fix this problem," says Hughes, "and that's to tackle the root cause of global heating by reducing net greenhouse gas emissions to zero as quickly as possible."
Beginning of an 'ecological collapse'
Between a quarter and a third of all marine species across the ocean have some part of their life cycle in coral reefs, John Veron, a renowned reef expert widely known as the "Godfather of Coral" told CNN in 2018.
"So, you take out coral reefs and a third to a quarter of all marine species gets wiped out. Now that is ecological chaos, it is ecological collapse … It's the beginning of a planetary catastrophe," said Veron.
The mass bleaching events in the past few years – and the prospect of losing one of nature's greatest treasures – should be considered a wake-up call for the world in the wider battle against climate change, argued Veron.
"It's more than an alarm bell," said Veron. "It's an air raid siren."
