Take-home exam
|Due date(s):
|17:30 on 22 November 2010; no late hand ins.
|Take home questions
|Other instructions
|Hand-in at class.
The purpose of this exam is only a little different to other exams. The difference is that this exam will assess your ability to answer more realistic problems that require more time, thought, and access to a computer. You are expected to use any appropriate tools to solve the problems in this exam, particularly the tools learnt in this course.
The 3E4 course teaches you a collection of tools that will be useful in your engineering career. And the challenges you will face do not come neatly posed as problems of the type: "Solve this linear system using Gauss elimination" -- rather you need to reformulate your challenge and pick the appropriate tool to solve the problem, taking into account the level of complexity.
In that regard there are many correct ways to achieve a result. In this exam about 80% of the grade will be given for how you solve the problem, and we will pay particular attention to the justifications you provide along the way. You must clearly outline why you choose the method and why you did not choose alternative methods. The accuracy of how you implement your method is also important, but the actual solution is of little value for determining your grade.
Also, as you will find in your career as an engineer, you will have to apply tools that you learnt about long ago, tools just learnt recently, or you may have do some research and figure out how to use a tool you've never used before. This exam has those aspects as well.
Some other points are:
- Complete this exam with 1 other person, or by yourself.
- Please identify the person you work with at the top of your answer submission. Please note: submit one solution per group.
- Please attribute any sources of reference you used (textbooks, websites, and so on).
- The intention of the group work is that you discuss the questions and collaborate in the same way you have done in the assignments.
- But do not share any electronic files (e.g. Word documents, source code) outside your group; take care in the computer labs to safeguard your work.
- Like any other exam, neither the TAs nor myself are able to answer direct questions about the exam. Similarly you should not look for help about a specific question from other resources (e.g. asking for help with the question on a website, friends, other students in the class, etc).
- You may use the course notes and any other textbooks and resources though.
- There is no make-up for this exam.
- You will benefit from going through the software tutorials on the course website.
- Your answers should preferably be typed up.
- Your answers must be structured like a report and flow together logically. Please do not submit pages and pages of computer printouts and source code in appendices - unfortunately this will be penalized.
Hand out date: 17 November 2010,
- Due date:
- Paper hand-in: by 17:30 on 22 November 2010, in class
- Totally electronic hand in: email to firstname.lastname@example.com before the above time and date.
- A valid electronic hand in must be in PDF format only (no separate Word, MATLAB or Python files). If you are on Windows, you could use PDFCreator to make PDF's; Macs and Linux have built-in PDF capability.
There are a maximum of 30 grade points available in the 5 questions, plus a variable amount of bonus points.
Question 1 [7 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1]
Background: Chemical engineers have made many contributions to the medical field; similarly in this question you must use your engineering knowledge in a different context.
Consider the case of injecting a medical treatment into a person's blood system. Subsequent to the injection, the body starts to metabolize (break down, or use up) the drug. In this study a drug was injected into the patient, and samples taken over the next 10 hours. This table reports the concentration of the drug in the blood stream, \(C\):
|\(t\) [hour]
|\(C\) [mg/L]
Medical models often use a well-mixed reactor to approximate the time-dependent behaviour of parts of the body: e.g. kidneys, stomach, and other organs. In this question you can assume the blood system to be a well-mixed CSTR, operating in batch mode: i.e. no inlet, or outlet, and of constant volume (about 5L for a typical adult). Assume the injection immediately mixes with all the blood, and shows up as \(C(t=0)\).
- Provide an estimate of the drug's concentration at \(t=0\) hours. Please justify your choice of method, and provide a plot to assess if your estimate is reasonable.
- Please provide the lowest error estimate of \(\frac{dC}{dt}\) for every data point in the table (without using Richardson's extrapolation).
- Next assume the drug is eliminated from the patient's blood into the rest of the body using a first-order rate expression, \(r = kC\). Obviously the mechanism by which the drug is metabolized is much more complex, but we don't know the cellular pathways and their rate constants: so lump them together and assume the overall mechanism is first order. Derive the dynamic equation that would describe the concentration of the drug in the bloodstream as a function of time.
- Using your values from part 2, calculate the average rate constant. Bonus mark of 0.5 if you use least squares regression instead of just calculating the average.
Question 2 [5 = 1 + 1 + 3]
A batch bioreactor (well-mixed tank, but no inlet or outlet) is charged with substrate at time \(t=0\) to start a reaction that will consume the substrate. The reaction mechanism is too complex to model exactly, but previous experience suggests it is roughly a first-order reaction. The apparent first-order rate expression is \(r = kS\), where \(k = 0.58\,\,\text{hours}^{-1}\), and \({\sf S}\) is the concentration of the substrate being depleted.
Show that the dynamic rate of change of \({\sf S}\) is given by:\[\frac{d{\sf S}(t)}{dt} = -k {\sf S}(t)\]
Also state any assumptions that were made in arriving at this expression.
The time required to consume the substrate from a starting level of 260 g/L to 5 g/L can be calculated by analytical integration of the above expression. What is the total time required?
Had you forgotten how to integrate the expression analytically you could resort to using the trapezoidal rule or Simpson's 1/3 rule. Without implementing either method, calculate how many panels would be required to ensure a numerical estimate of the time to achieve the above conversion is accurate within 0.01 hours. In other words, how many panels are required to solve the left hand side integral\[\int_{260}^{5}{-\frac{1}{k\sf S}\, d{\sf S}} &= \int_{0}^{t}{d{t}} = t\]
to that level of accuracy:
- when using the trapezoidal rule;
- when using Simpson's 1/3 method.
Question 3 [7 = 3 + 1 + 3]
The following question is based on the flowsheet below, where the \(m_i\) values are the mass flow of the species of interest, the reactant. The purpose of the flowsheet is to eliminate the incoming species at \(m_1 = 10\) kg/hour and convert it to by-products. There is some residual reactant leaving the flowsheet in stream \(m_{12}\).
The following additional information is known:
- \(m_1 = 10\) kg/hour.
- \(m_2 = 2\) kg/hour.
- Unit A operates with 40% efficiency; i.e. of all the material coming in, only 40% of it is converted to other products.
- Unit B is just a mixing tank.
- Unit C is just a mixer/splitter and is operated so that the mass-flow in the outlets are all in the same proportion.
- Unit D operates with 82% efficiency, so 18% of the incoming stream is left unconverted. The two outlets are split in equal proportion as well.
- Unit E operates with 15% efficiency to convert the incoming streams to by-products.
- The split after unit E is operated such that \(\alpha m_8\) is recycled in stream 11, while \((1-\alpha)m_8\) exits in stream \(m_{12}\).
Write a system of equations in the form \({\bf Ax = b}\) that can be used to calculate the mass flow rate of every stream in the flowsheet.
The row order in a system of equations has no effect on the solution \({\bf x}\). But to make grading this question easier, please write your system of equations using \({\bf x} = [m_1,\, m_2\, \ldots\,,\,m_{11},\,m_{12}]\) and so that matrix \({\bf A}\) has 1's on the diagonal.
Solve this system of equations using computer software, at the value of \(\alpha = 0.20\).
- Show your matrix \({\bf A}\)
- Report the flow of the species in every stream, and in particular, the flow in stream \(m_{12}\).
The next objective is to adjust the recycle ratio, \(\alpha\), so that the mass flow of the species leaving the flowsheet is \(m_{12} = 1.0\) kg/hour.
- You may use any technique you like to find \(\alpha\), but every time you solve the system of equations \({\bf Ax = b}\) for a given value of \(\alpha\) it will count as one function evaluation.
- If you plan to plot the system at various values of \(\alpha\), then each point on the plot is counted as a function evaluation.
- The solution in part 2, with \(\alpha=0.20\) counts as one function evaluation already, and should be your starting point for solving this part of the question.
- Clearly explain your strategy.
- Report the total number of function evaluations you used to achieve an \(\alpha\) value that is accurate within \(1\times 10^{-2}\). There is one bonus mark available for getting an answer within 5 function evaluations or less.
Question 4 [6 = 2 + 4]
Even though this question is typical of material learnt about in later courses, you are still able to solve this question using tools just covered in this course.
A polymer compound is being held in a small stirred tank that is externally heated. The polymer leaving the tank must have a certain viscosity so that the downstream processes can operate as required. The primary method of adjusting the viscosity is by setting the temperature of the tank. Several experiments, performed by your colleagues, have determined the system behaves in a second-order manner (you will learn how to determine this in your process control course).
- \(\mu(t)\) is the viscosity measured in centipoise, cP and the target viscosity required is 30 cP
- \(T(t)\) is the tank temperature, measured in Kelvin
- \(K_p = -0.25\) cP/K
- \(\tau = 2.1\) minutes
A feedback control system is implemented to keep \(\mu\) at its target of 30 cP. The type of feedback controller used is a proportional-only controller, meaning the tank temperature, \(T(t)\) is adjusted in proportion to the deviation (error) in viscosity, as given by:
where \(K_c = -1.9\) K/cP. At steady state, the tank temperature is normally set to 318 K to maintain the required viscosity of 30 cP.
- According to this feedback control law, what should the tank temperature be set to if the viscosity is currently at 35 cP? And for 28 cP? Comment whether or not these answers make sense.
- Someone has turned the tank's heating system off overnight and the viscosity of the material is currently at 40 cP. Create a plot, as a function of time, that shows how the material's viscosity is brought back to the target of 30 cP. Let \(t=0\) be the moment the heating system is turned back on. Using your plot, estimate how much time will be required to reach stable operation (i.e. return to a constant viscosity of 30 cP)?
Bonus question [1 mark]: The value \(K_c\) is called the feedback controller's gain (aggressiveness). Show your plot from part 2 of the question, but superimpose the time-varying viscosity curves for two other values of \(K_c\), one higher and one lower. How would you adjust \(K_c\) to achieve the target of 30 cP in a shorter amount of time? Can you suggest a better \(K_c\) value than the current setting?
Question 5 [5]
This question considers a pilot-plant CSTR, liquid reaction process, fed with reactants A, B and C. There are two reactions taking place in the system:
\begin{align*} {\sf A} + {\sf B} &\rightarrow 2{\sf D} + {\sf E} \\ 2{\sf C} + {\sf D} &\rightarrow {\sf F} + {\sf E}\end{align*}
The desired products are \({\sf E}\) and \({\sf F}\), while species \({\sf D}\) is an intermediate. From economic considerations, it is desirable to operate the reactor to maximize the production of \({\sf E}\) and \({\sf F}\). This is achieved by minimizing the amount of unreacted \({\sf D}\) in the outlet from the reactor.
One way this can be done is by adjusting the tank's jacket temperature, which in turn affects the reaction kinetics and alters the balance of products in the outlet. Unfortunately the first principles rate expressions for the reactions are not known, so derivation of mass and energy balances to find this jacket temperature is not possible.
You have time and resources to run the pilot-plant reactor at only 8 different jacket temperatures, between a minimum and maximum range of 278 K to 355 K. You are expected to use any of the tools from this course to find a jacket temperature that leads to the lowest possible concentration of \({\sf D}\) [mol/L]. You may use of the fact (learnt in your calculus course) that the optimum -- either a maximum or a minimum -- of a function \(f(x)\) occurs at \(\displaystyle \frac{df(x)}{dx} = 0\); and that optimum is a minimum if \(\displaystyle \frac{df^2(x)}{dx^2} > 0\).
A model of the process has been simulated, and is available on the course website. Nominate one of your group members and email their name and student number to the course instructor, together with the name of the other, optional, group member. This will activate an account for your group. Once you sign into the account you will be able to enter in various values of the jacket temperature, and the server will simulate the experiment and return the corresponding concentration of \({\sf D}\), as if the pilot plant was operated at that jacket temperature.
Four of the grading points for this question will be marked mainly on the description of your strategy and the systematic methodology followed to locate a suitable jacket temperature. Make sure you explain your approach clearly and present good visualization plot(s), exactly as you would have to in a report to your manager. Your final answer (one point) must provide a recommendation to your manager for the jacket temperature.
Also note:
- There is error (noise) in the concentration measurements of \(\pm 1.0\) mol/L.
- The server will return different results for each group.
- Please enter your jacket temperature settings carefully - if you input incorrect values you will have to work with those results. You will only be able to run at most 8 experiments.
- The server will also keep track of and display all your previous experiments on a results sheet.
Once you have completed the question, include the result sheet from the server in your answer. (The true jacket temperature for your team will be be available on the website after the exam is handed in). Please note, there is more than one correct method to approach the problem.
There is 1 bonus mark if you are able to locate the jacket temperature within \(\pm 0.25\) K and additional bonus marks as follows: \(\displaystyle \frac{\max\left\{6-N,0\right\}}{4}\), where \(N\) is the number of experiments you used.

Practical and Helpful Tips: Animals
Wooden Houses for Your Canine. Whether dogs prefer wood houses or the different material is ambiguous the most universal dog house is created associated with wood, the same as our houses. Most small dogs live inside so a little dog house will be not usually a concern. Medium sized and huge dogs usually live outdoors in their wood dog houses. It is difficult to find a large house which fits their dogs. You should consider looking for the internet to get the right house for the dog. It is good to have the best strategy to obtain the right house. It is advisable to check for the already built houses for your dog. Those people who have the dogs might decide to acquire a built in house. The guide greatest location to have an outdoor canine home is not really constantly the most typical place. Most men plus women appear to find their wood dog homes in the direction of the particular rear of their returning yards. This is usually simply not only undesirable for you; however this is going to be very undesirable regarding the particular dog.
The Best Advice on Products I've found
Canines are incredibly social animals and as opposed to are positioned in the particular back of your yard, a person may consider near in order to the backdoor, a part backyard or maybe the front yard. The the particular dog will certainly mainly need to end up being anywhere that folks often congregate, especially if your dog owners frequent which will region of the yard.
Study: My Understanding of Animals
The Particular canine house ought to be raised up away the ground, probably with bricks near to the basis; thus the wood dog houses trap airspace beneath them to help within insulation. To assist keep winter chill off the dog, an individual should have several sorts of wind block within the front of the particular canine house entrance.

Twins rough up Jimenez, bullpen on Monday
Minnesota hits past Baltimore 14-7 in series opener
Minnesota hits past Baltimore 14-7 in series opener
Max Kepler homered and drove in four runs, Miguel Sano and Jorge Polanco each had a career-high four hits and the Minnesota Twins roared back to beat the Baltimore Orioles 14-7 Monday night.
Minnesota trailed 5-0 in the second inning and 6-2 entering the fifth before cranking up the offense against Ubaldo Jimenez and an ineffective Baltimore bullpen.
A two-run double by Kepler helped the Twins knot the score in the fifth, Minnesota sent 11 batters to the plate in a six-run sixth and Sano added a two-run homer in the ninth.
Joe Mauer had three hits, two RBI and scored twice for the Twins, who reached season highs in runs and hits (21).
Adam Jones hit a three-run drive in the second inning off Kyle Gibson (1-4) for Baltimore.
It was his 125th home run at Camden Yards, moving him out of a tie with Rafael Palmeiro for the most in the history of the 26-year-old ballpark.
That proved to be the highlight of an otherwise ugly night for the Orioles.
Jimenez frittered away a five-run lead and missed a chance to earn his first win since April 19. The right-hander allowed six runs and nine hits in four-plus innings, a performance that lifted his ERA to an unsightly 7.17.
Jimenez was replaced by Tyler Wilson (2-2), who gave up six runs in 1 1/3 innings.
Down 5-0, the Twins got an RBI groundout from Mauer in third before Kepler led off the fourth with a home run.
It was 6-2 before Minnesota bunched together five hits in the fifth. After Kepler chased Jimenez with a two-run double, Eduardo Escobar hit a sacrifice fly and Polanco tied it with an RBI single.
Highlights of the Twins' sixth inning included a tiebreaking double by Mauer, a two-run double by Escobar, an error by second baseman Jonathan Schoop and a run-inducing balk when Stefan Crichton dropped the ball in the midst of his windup.
Recalled from Triple-A Rochester before the game, Gibson gave up six runs in five innings, but nevertheless earned his first victory in seven starts this season.

Finding the right car insurance can be difficult sometimes if you are a new driver or an experienced professional. What makes the process more complicated or expensive is to find coverage that meets your needs with your car to protect the right to have and how you drive. That is why it is so important to shop around when looking for the right solution and not settle for the first flashy television commercial ads you see some kind of a national company. Now we are going to talk about New Orleans Car Insurance.
Local and national insurers to choose from
Sometimes a local insurance agent right here in New Orleans, who knows the local roads and the way people drive, the best help to find the right plan at the lowest possible speed. On the other hand, maybe even just across the state lender is more suitable for your needs, or if the national networks (such as auto insurance family. Compare chicken bucket, they are always an option, too. The main thing is looking around, so you are not stuck with the wrong lighting event of an accident.
New Orleans Car Insurance – What should I consider when choosing a policy?
Many people make the mistake of just looking for the lowest premiums available and happy with it. The problem is that the lowest level available may not provide adequate lighting in case of an accident or trouble. For example: if you are driving with a minimum cover and crash into the back of the H3 spoiling their rear end, you can easily look at the $ 30,000 in repairs to the vehicle. Minimum coverage provides only $ 25,000, so you will have to pay the remainder of his pocket. For more information, please check our factors that affect your insurance rates page.
There is an old saying in the insurance world that always rings true: "Either you are going to pay a premium right now, or are you going to pay for it after the accident – but either way, you will pay." When selecting auto insurance for your car there are a few things to keep in mind that will make sure you end up with the best coverage at the best price.
Do I need (or want) to replace your own car after the accident?
- Do I have any assets (home, retirement, values) that someone can sue me if my plan does not fully cover the accident?
- Honestly … What kind of driver I have? Young and a little fast? Older and more seasoned? Over a slow and steady?
- How do I do the driving? (Local / City, Commute, later?)
Keeping these things in mind will help you to decide with a qualified agent, how much coverage is right for you.
That's it with New Orleans Car Insurance.

goumis and jujubes
I finished moving the wood away from behind the deck, and have now planted a silverberry, two goumis("red gem" and"sweet scarlet"), and two jujubes(Li and Massandra) back there. As everywhere in our garden, the soil is heavy clay. So I break up the soil with a shovel, add a wheelbarrow--load of compost, and the blend it with the mantis tiller. The plant ends up on a bit of a mound, and then I add another half or full wheelbarrow load of compost around the plant, and then finish with mulch. One of many things I love about growing fruits in the back yard is that you can grow...Read More

On November 9, the Student Counseling Center invited Kim Kwang-ho, who has directed a variety of documentaries of Korea Educational Broadcasting System (EBS) such as 60 Minutes Parents, Mother Shock, The Age of Emotions, to deliver a special lecture on emotional well-beings at the International Studies Hall of Korea University (KU).
The lecture centered on what Kim gained from his personal experiences working as a producer (PD) of numerous series that dealt with issues regarding feelings. The main point he emphasized throughout the lecture was that one's sentiment does not stem only from the personal aspects. He stated it is a combined result of one's personal aspect, social environment, and relationships. The lecturer further explained that external factors in one's social environment causes distorted and exaggerated negative emotions such as fear and unrest, highlighting the importance of not confusing such fake feelings as one's own. The lecture ended with an insightful message that, "emotions are the standards of a society and its barometers," highlighting the importance of sentiments and their reflection of the society.
Through this lecture, students were able to develop more comprehensive views on emotions and a better understanding on the reason behind the negative feelings. The Student Counseling Center is expected to continue to provide such programs that feature topics about mental health.

Fertility, Pregnancy, Childbirth & Parenting
Mindful parenting is a unique alternative to the traditional parenting style. It is focused on attuning to your own needs as well as the needs of your child so that you both will benefit within the relationship. Mindful parenting can help develop a deeper parent-child connection, foster a desire for cooperation, and create more peace in the home for everyone.
When family life gets busy and we feel stressed out and overwhelmed, we tend to fall back on using traditional parenting tools that may work at managing the chaos in the moment, but what is the impact on our kids long term?
This workshop will focus on how traditional discipline techniques and punishments can negatively impact the cooperation and connection with our children. Find out what punishment really teaches our kids, as we explore some other ways to help manage the chaos without losing our connection.

This mad controversy around nothingness is the synthesis of the electoral campaigns that leads us to the following observations, which are based on numbers, that is, the indisputable and unendurable facts.
In our democratic country, among those entitled to vote (51 million citizens, 84% of 60.5 million people), 73% were present at the polls, about 37 million.
Adding the non-entitled ones (9.5 million, 16% of the total population), to those absent from the vote (14 million, 27%), the outcome of the consultations doesn't necessarily represent the thought of a good 23.5 million, 39% of the total population, about 4 citizens out of 10.

How to Pull off a Major Wardrobe Malfunction Like Elizabeth Olsen
We've all been there: you're out and about looking great when all of a sudden someone tells you your fly is down (which means its probably been down for at least an hour) or your skirt is tucked into your underwear. Wardrobe malfunctions can be embarrassing, but let's face it, they're not the end of the world. One celeb who recently had a sartorial mishap was the always stunning Elizabeth Olsen. While posing for photos outside an event for Miu Miu in Paris, Elizabeth was hit with a gust of wind and unintentionally channeled a little Marilyn Monroe.
As the breeze came her way it blew up her navy blue skirt and revealed a pair of nude colored underwear. While it may have been unexpected, Elizabeth definitely took the accident in stride. With an emoji-level expression on her face, she used her clutch to weigh down the skirt and laughed the whole thing off.
If you don't feel like you'd pull off the wardrobe malfunction quite as gracefully as Elizabeth's, here are a few precautions you can take:
1. Use curtain weights. Take a hint from the Queen Elizabeth who has curtain weights placed inside the lining of her outfits. One of the Queen's favorite couturiers admits that he always uses the home decor weights when creating garments for the Queen. For an option that doesn't take a lot of sewing skills to apply, try these weights which can be stitched on to the bottom of a hem just like a like a button.
2. Wear a pair of seamless shorts. This works just as well today as it did in middle school. To avoid a noticeable hemline go for a seamless option like these from Zappos ($16).
3. Wear a cross body bag. Wearing a purse that falls just below your hips will weigh one side down which will make for an easier recovery if one side begins to fly up.
What's your style secret to wearing a skirt in windy weather? Share with us in the comments below.

The stock market and your pension
One of the advantages of pensions is that they can, by design, be very simple from a management point of view. Providers typically have default settings for your portfolio, occupying various real estate along the risk spectrum, and with an automatic gravitation towards a risk-averse slant as you get closer to retirement.
It means that those with little appetite for following markets on a day-to-day basis can build up their pensions with a hands-off approach. However, for those who follow events in the world of finance a bit more closely, there is scope to take control, and to try pre-empt developments within the various markets.
The ups and downs
One of the remarkable features of the past 12 months has been the performance of global markets, and particularly stock market indices. The FTSE All World index broke new ground last month, while the S&P 500 continues to trade in and around record highs. The FTSE 100 has defied the uncertainty of the Brexit vote, and has regularly broken the ceiling of all-time highs in the past year. Even in Europe, the German DAX hit a record high in May.
Such dizzy heights have left many experts convinced that a correction is on its way. The direction of travel cannot always be up, and bear markets come with the territory. Given that many pensions will have some kind of exposure to the performance of these major indices, it may thus be tempting to shuffle the pack, and head for the exit while you're on a high. These are ultimately subjective decisions, and are best taken after discussions with a financial adviser.
Even still, it should be remembered that trying to speculate on the peaks and troughs of market cycles, and events in the wider economy, is a near-impossible undertaking – even for experts. For example, there was chatter among economists as far back as 2010 that the Bank of England would look to increase base rates. Four years later speculation turned to conviction, as action from Threadneedle Street felt imminent. Yet here we sit in 2017, with only a subsequent cut to new record lows last August to show for it, and no realistic prospect of a sufficient number of hawks on the Monetary Policy Committee ruling the roost anytime soon.
Diversification and peer-to-peer lending
One thing we are major advocates of is investment portfolio diversification, which is the best protection of all when it comes to dealing with market volatility. In the context of equities, this means spreading your investment across a variety of stocks and shares – both in the UK and globally. However, it is also crucial to diversify across various asset classes too, such as property, gilts, bonds and more.
Market volatilities, coupled with shockingly-low rates of savings, have brought into sharp focus the benefits of peer-to-peer lending as a middle ground in terms of risk and return - particularly with the launch of the new ISA. One of the biggest virtues of all is the predictability and stability of returns delivered by prime platforms. While the value of investments such as stocks and shares can go up or down – sometimes dramatically so – those who lend through P2P platforms can expect fixed returns.
Of course, the one similarity with stocks and shares is that capital is at risk, and not covered by the Financial Services Compensation Scheme. However, even in its relatively fledgling 12-year existence, the sector has fast developed a reputation for mitigating these risks. At Lending Works, for example, no lender has ever lost a penny, and all returns due have been delivered to lenders in full, and on time.
Managing your pension
Interestingly, in a recent quote in This is Money, Tom McPhail of Hargreaves Lansdown claimed their institution has found that individuals who take control of their pension pots tend to do better than those who select default funds. The 2015 pension freedoms and the auto-enrolment scheme for workplace pensions will also likely fuel engagement and interest at consumer level, and possibly lead to a more widespread hands-on approach to pension management.
Active involvement in retirement saving should certainly be viewed as a positive development, provided that any portfolio tinkering is done with the combination of an open mind, and substantial research and understanding of what's involved. For what it's worth, from our side, we have three simple pieces of advice to offer: diversify, diversify, diversify!

With the retail sector enduring its fair share of challenges, companies are looking at new ways to attract customers, and drive conversion. In an overcrowded, dog-eat-dog marketplace, with behemoths such as Amazon flexing their muscle, it's easier said than done.
On 4 June 2019, the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) released its new regulatory framework for peer-to-peer lending (P2P); a Policy Statement known as PS19/14. As you might imagine, it's a document which, following a three-month consultation, is a hefty read of no fewer than 102 pages.

In a difficult climate, customer acquisition and lead generation present stern challenges for UK retailers, and a great deal of marketing spend invariably gets directed towards getting feet through the door.
There is a variety of literature and research illustrating the importance of building brand loyalty, albeit with some degree of variance.
Over the last decade, there can be little dispute that the reputation of mainstream banks – and particularly the so-called 'Big Four' (HSBC, Barclays, Lloyds and RBS) – is at its lowest ebb.
The idea of peer-to-peer (P2P) lending is a simple one; you lend money to those who wish to borrow, with a view to receiving a great return for doing so.
The peer-to-peer (P2P) lending industry is now regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The regulatory framework has been designed to protect customers and promote effective competition.

Ahead of the IMF's world economic outlook last month, new managing director Kristalina Georgieva described the global economy as being in a 'synchronised slowdown', and the institution has subsequently trimmed growth forecasts for 2020.
The barely-anticipated Autumn Budget, perhaps predictably, fell by the wayside last week, with the country now heading to the polls next month.
Last week we took stock of the labour market, with the latest Office for National Statistics (ONS) data showing that the tide may be beginning to turn on Britain's so-called 'jobs miracle'. Unemployment ticked up to 3.9 per cent for June to August (an increase of 0.1 per cent), with the number of people in work falling by 56,000.
Whenever discussion turns to Britain's misfiring property market, the words 'stamp duty' are seldom far away. Indeed, over the past two decades, it's been something of a political football – one which has had a profound impact on both housing transactions, and the coffers at the Treasury.
In recent months, it's been interesting to observe the reception to Greta Thunberg, the 16-year old climate change activist who has been afforded some high-profile forums. The impassioned viewpoints she has shared have earned her legions of fans, albeit no shortage of detractors too. In particular, a speech at the United Nations climate change summit stirred fractious debate.

The Gala of the Royal Horses comes to Gwinnett Arena
By: Katie Morris
Published: November 20, 2014
DULUTH — Lipizzaner Mozart circles around himself in front of the Gwinnett Arena before rearing regally on his hind legs. Rider Christine Drentwitt and expert trainer Rene Gasser both congratulate the Royal Horse for his performance.
Mozart is just one of 14 Royal Horses flown in from across the world to perform at the Arena this Saturday. The Gala of the Royal Horses Inaugural North American tour is an entertainment event combining some of the most beautiful horses in the world with live performers. The Royal Horses of Europe have been favored for centuries by royalty, equestrian riders and bullfighters.
Producer Rene Gasser comes from seven generations of equestrians and has worked alongside some of Europe's best riders and trainers. He recreated this show, only previously seen at riding schools in Vienna and Spain, for its U.S. debut. Gasser said the debut tour has been very well received both by horse lovers and first-time spectators.
"The audience is just overwhelming. It's a special audience, a horse audience, they're very dedicated," Gasser said. "Most people come and they bring someone along, their wife, grandfather or whoever, and they are surprised that they enjoy it so much. Not just the horses and the costumes but also the music and the whole thing put together. It's very enjoyable, even if you're not a horse person."
The Gala of the Royal Horses celebrates the Andalusian, Friesian, Lipizzaner and Arabian breeds, showing off their athleticism and grace with stunts and maneuvers once used on the battlefield. According to Gasser, the Royal Horses start their training at 3 years old and spend the next three years learning simple stunts, discovering their talents. They are fully-trained and ready to perform around 10 years old. The show also features 24 performers including riders, Spanish flamenco dancers and guitar players.
"We have dancers and musicians. The Andalusian horses will actually be dancing the flamenco dance on boards. It's just another aspect because you don't just see them dancing, you hear them. The people love it," Gasser said.
The Gala of the Royal Horses will be at the Arena at Gwinnett Center on Saturday, Nov. 22, at 7:30 p.m. Ticket prices range from $33 to $78 and are available at gwinnettcenter.com, The Arena at Gwinnett Center Box Office or by calling 1-888-9-AXS-TIX.

Daniel Reviews (1)
My job can be very stressful & I had allowed myself to get really out of shape. So, last summer, I decided to find a personal trainer who would not only motivate me but to push me to put myself first, instead of always saying to myself "I will work out tomorrow…I will eat better tomorrow…One day won't make me fat". I researched several trainers and found Svetness personal training company. They assigned Daniel as my personal trainer. By far Daniel is the most professional, realistic and down to earth. He does not blow the "smoke" many trainers do, he also is the only trainer (and he is my 3rd…from the same company) who explains proper form and method behind his training. Best part, he is very very friendly and fun to work with :). Since working with Daniel, I feel very energetic and motivated. and I feel lot stronger than I used to be. If not for Daniel, I would absolutely be so stressed from work that I would be miserable (also fact that i am expecting my first child in couple of months), but thanks to Daniel, I can leave that from my mind! If you are thinking of going to a trainer, I cannot recommend Daniel enough, he is worth every penny and more! Do yourself a favor and call Svetness today and ask for Daniel!"

"You're only allowed one of any particular voice on Today," claims one insider. "If a favoured new arrival has the same accent as you, they'll farm you out to other projects. It happened with Carolyn Quinn and Sarah Montague. It also happened with Eddie Mair and Jim Naughtie – there could only be one Scottish accent. Once they wanted Webb, they could only have one posh voice. Stourton had been falling out of favour for a while and they kept lining him up with these big documentaries and huge series to let him down gently. The news got leaked before they'd put everything in place.
So why was Edward Stourton really sacked from the Today programme? I have no idea, and could hardly care less, since I never listen to the programme. However, I think we can eliminate one possible motive from our enquiries: that he was ejected because he was an insufferable asshole, since Justin Webb is his replacement.The upside then – less Justin Webb on TV.

I loved this site, so I read a whole bunch of SCPs, and eventually decided to try my hand at making one. I would appreciate if someone could point out where my draft has failed, so I can attempt to improve it.
Thank you in advance.
I loved this site, so I read a whole bunch of SCPs, and eventually decided to try my hand at making one. I would appreciate if someone could point out where my draft has failed, so I can attempt to improve it.
Thank you in advance.
Hey MrMagical I'm sure you'll have a great time on the site.
It's awesome you already have a sandbox as many new members don't at first.
The first thing I noticed when I started reading, is the format is off. How to Write an SCP has the formatting you'll need when writing your SCP. The immediate problem: You don't have a rating module, and the parts that should be bolded aren't bolded (such as 'Special Containment Procedures' and 'Description'). Also, 2067 may be taken eventually. 'XXXX' or '####' is the common standard for the sandbox.
Thanks for the review.
Mainly I didn't specify the metal because I believed it to be irrelevant. However, it could easily be specified as 'iron'.
I specified the size of the room because I believed there would have to be enough room for the object (2x1x0.5m in size), the chained up subject (about 1x1m), and enough room for any necessary experiments, including scientists, guards and other staff that would be present.
There would be a single security camera to alert whomever was monitoring to anyone who would attempt to open the SCP. Having 2 cameras would be wasteful, as there is no use to having multiple perspectives.
The reason I included the long-distance office is because this SCP has an effect that makes the closest person to it want to enter it. As such, if the opening mechanism is next to the door, it could easily affect the guards, or one of them, who would then not hesitate to enter the room. However, whomever was present in the remote office would not be affected unless there were no other sentient beings within a 100 meter radius around it. So they will be capable of controlling who enters and who leaves.
I intended the doors to the cell, but I should have specified.
The stun guns are because the effect of this SCP is negated by knocking out the affected, provided they haven't actually opened the SCP yet, or it hasn't activated Phase-2. As such, important Personnel could be recovered after 'infection' without the necessity for lethal measures.
I'll change it to anesthetic.
I could change it to 'rendered unconscious'?
6:00 AM is an arbitrary time, however, it's a schedule to keep, to ensure that it occurs at least once each day.
I probably should have stated that they are, in fact, removed.
The sentence IS, quite probably, irrelevant.
True, I'll ammend it to something more practically feasible.
Again, thank you for the help.
The anomalous affects going on in this article don't seem very coherent to me. None of the steps are especially interesting, and they're not moreso together. It seems like just a bunch of weird things thrown together.
(Mental compulsions and wish-granters (or things that for whatever reason, appear to be wish-granters, as the "object they wish for the most" does) are overused and incredibly hard to write in an interesting way. Try and avoid them.)
The 'wish-granting' aspect to it was more of a quirk than anything else. The original idea is simply a 'hook-and-sinker' aspect. The artifact would call a victim towards it, and then infect the victim with an object that the victim would be complied to keep around. The subtext was that it fed off of the victim's thoughts, and thus grew, until it pretty much completely consumed him.
Potentially, I could change the appearance of the infectuous objects to simply be pearls of some kind, or bracelets, or some other piece of jewelry. It would fit well with the theme of being covered in gold.
However, I do understand what you mean with the steps not fitting together. Do you have any advice for making this flow into each other more accurately?
I'm currently thinking of turning it into an organic parasite-thing that simply disguises itself using illusions, and gives 'eggs' to the victims, who will become surrogate mothers.

Two armed robberies, garage burglary and more crimes were recently reported in Towson.
By Elizabeth Janney, Patch Staff |
TOWSON, MD — The Baltimore County Police Department provided the following information about crimes from July 11 to 27 in Towson. Arrests do not indicate convictions.
GameStop was robbed at knifepoint in the 6300 block of York Road. The robber showed a knife and demanded money from the register, then left upon receiving cash. The armed robbery was reported at 5:15 p.m. on July 24.

Many webmasters and bloggers not hailing from a web design back ground often feel the need to convert an excel file into html. But they want to achieve this feat without the unnecessary coding, hit-and-trials or head banging.
One must admit, A method of converting an excel worksheet into its html counterpart is difficult. Owing to lack of options webmasters often resort to taking screenshot of the tables and inserting it as an image in the blog. Arguably, this is a great method to insert tables into a webpage, but it does not perform the job. The following are reasons why inserting table as an image is wrong.
- It does not look good
- Your readers cannot click
- They cannot copy the text (for which, even codemakit method cannot help)
- The image might perform weird in a mobile device
- The text and the table prepared by you so meticulously will not be read by search engines*
- It shows lack of finesse in the blog
* You cannot just copy and paste the table text as alt txt in images, because large text in Alt-Text defies Blogger Policies.
So, looks like you're going to need HTML table. Now that I've established your need for HTML tables I shall present a solution.
First, open the table containing the spreadsheet. Save it as a .csv file.
* A .csv file is a comma separated values file, here the values are separated by commas, which makes it easier for online web applications to convert.
Next, go to http://www.tablesgenerator.com/html_tables
Click on file - Upload .csv File and Upload.
Now you'll be presented with a raw version of your html table. You can make modifications, change font type, size, justification, color, cell color etc.
Every update will be reflected at the newly created html-CSS file at the bottom of the page.
This was,

Before Marvel fans find out what happens after Avengers: Infinity War in next April's still-untitled Avengers 4, they'll find out what happened in the MCU back in the '90s.
Captain Marvel is set to explore a brand new part of Marvel history and introduce the most powerful superhero in the entire franchise. Naturally, fans have some questions that won't be totally answered until Captain Marvel's March 8 release date. But, in the meantime, here's everything we know about Captain Marvel.WHO IS CAPTAIN MARVEL IN THE COMICS?
Though she has yet to make a proper appearance in the MCU, Captain Marvel is one of Marvel Comics' most iconic and powerful heroes.
The first Captain Marvel was a man, an alien hero named Mar-Vell, who first appeared in a December 1967 comic. Carol Danvers, the current Captain Marvel, first appeared in March of 1968 as an air force officer who gains superhuman powers when an explosion combines Mar-Vell's DNA with hers.
Carol operated as the superhero Ms. Marvel for decades but assumed the mantle of Captain Marvel in 2012. Since then, she's become a flagship character in the comics, one who is due for a big screen debut. (The Ms. Marvel name, meanwhile, has gone to the wildly popular Muslim-American hero Kamala Khan).
Captain Marvel was first announced back in October of 2014 as part of Marvel Studio's "Phase Three" films, although initially it was scheduled for a July 2018 release date, a slot that ultimately went to Ant-Man and the Wasp after Marvel pushed their first female-led film back to 2019. At one point, the hero was going to make her debut in Avengers: Age of Ultron, but the studio decided it wasn't ready yet and wanted to give Captain Marvel a proper debut rather than a cameo.
Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, a duo known for films like Mississippi Grind and Sugar, are directing Captain Marvel. Nicole Perlman and Meg LeFauve, who worked on Guardians of the Galaxy and Inside Out, respectively, were Captain Marvel's co-screenwriters.
Marvel confirmed that Academy Award-winner Brie Larson would play the titular hero back at 2016's San Diego Comic-Con. The first trailer for the film debuted on Good Morning America on September 18, 2018.
Larson is playing the titular hero, who she described to Entertainment Weekly as someone who "can't help but be herself."
"She can be aggressive, and she can have a temper, and she can be a little invasive and in your face," the actress said. "She's also quick to jump to things, which makes her amazing in battle because she's the first one out there and doesn't always wait for orders. But the [not] waiting for orders is, to some, a character flaw."
In addition to Larson as Captain Marvel, the film will also bring back several familiar faces, including a couple fans thought they'd never see in the MCU again.
Samuel L. Jackson will play Nick Fury again, although he'll be de-aged with digital and makeup effects because, again, the movie is set in the '90s. Clark Gregg will play a similarly de-aged Agent Phil Coulson, who hasn't been seen on the big screen since 2012's The Avengers, where he was presumed to have died. (Gregg has, however, played Coulson on the Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. TV show for several years).
Lee Pace will make a return to the MCU, bringing back the first Guardians of the Galaxy villain Ronan the Accuser, an extremist member of the Kree alien race. In Captain Marvel's time period, though, Ronan is still a high-ranking, respected member of Kree leadership. His henchman Korath will also appear in the movie, once again played by Djimon Hounsou. Korath and Carol actually fight alongside one another as a member of an elite Kree fighting force.
Gemma Chan co-stars as Minn-Erva, a Kree geneticist who also fights with Carol, while Jude Law plays Carol Danvers' Kree mentor, but his character name, curiously, hasn't been confirmed yet.
Ben Mendelsohn, who played a villain in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Ready Player One, is Captain Marvel's main villain, confirmed in the EW cover story to be Talos, a member of a shape-shifting, villainous alien race known as the Skrull and the leader of an Earth invasion force. In the comics, Talos is one of the rare Skrull who lacks the ability to shape-shift, but he makes up for it with plenty of cunning and ferocity. However, EW's pictures show the movie version of Talos can indeed transform, revealing that he uses a human guise to infiltrate S.H.I.E.L.D.
Lashana Lynch plays Maria Rambeau, an air force pilot, single mom, and one of Carol's oldest friends. In the comics, Maria is a minor character, most notable for being the mother of Monica Rambeau, a.k.a. the superhero who has gone by the names of Photon, Pulsar, and Spectrum. Since Captain Marvel takes place in the '90s, Maria's little girl would be all grown-up by the time of current MCU films, meaning it's possible we'll see the hero in action at some point alongside Captain Marvel herself.
Annette Bening has been cast in an undisclosed role.
Even though Captain Marvel is introducing a brand-new hero to the MCU, it's not exactly an origin story, according to Entertainment Weekly. Rather, the film will begin after Carol already has her superpowers. Initially, she'll be off in space fighting as part of the elite Kree military squadron known as Starforce, fighting alongside her mentor, played by Jude Law. Presumably, this is the comic character who gave Carol her powers, Mar-Vell, though Marvel hasn't confirmed this explicitly yet.
However, at some point in the movie, Carol will return to Earth, where she'll have to fend off an invasion from the shape-shifting Skrull, led by Mendelsohn's Talos. A pre-Iron Man S.H.I.E.L.D. will be involved, somehow.
The first trailer for the film didn't reveal too many plot specifics, but it showed Carol crash-landing into a Blockbuster Video (it's the '90s!) while wearing her green Kree suit. It appears she's been off fighting alien wars and is now a "renegade soldier," but the trailer seems to give the impression that Carol doesn't totally remember her past on Earth.
"I keep having these memories. I see flashes. I think I had a life here, but I can't tell if it's real," she says. Perhaps the explosion that gave her powers -- which is hinted at in the trailer -- erased her memory, prompting Mar-Vell to take her to space, under his wing?
Presumably, the movie will draw inspiration from the classic early 1970s comic storyline the Kree-Skrull War, which saw an epic conflict between the Kree — the species the fanatical Ronan the Accuser belongs to — and the Skrull. The trailer doesn't show much Skrull action aside from one shot, but Carol does deck an old lady in the face. Let's hope she was a shape-shifted Skrull and not an innocent senior.
Presumably, the battle — and movie as a whole — will draw inspiration from the classic early 1970s comic storyline the Kree-Skrull War, which saw an epic conflict between the Kree — the species the fanatical Ronan the Accuser belongs to — and the Skrull.
Whatever the plot of the movie ends up being, there's one thing it needs to do: Explain where Captain Marvel has been for the past 30 years, and why nobody in the MCU seems to know who she is or talk about her, Nick Fury's last-minute page to her excluded.
Captain Marvel is confirmed to appear in Avengers 4, so she'll be making a reappearance. Perhaps she's spent the past three decades off fighting an intergalactic war in space, not aging because of her superpowers?
Despite premiering before Avengers 4, we know far less about Captain Marvel, and there are hardly any leaked images or plot details, let alone official ones.
The first official look at Larson in costume came on the cover of Entertainment Weekly. Her classic blue, red, and yellow suit looks comics-accurate, and her hands are glowing with energy. It's pretty similar to mock-ups that popular fan-artist BossLogic made in the months before there was any official look at the costume.
Prior to the EW cover, paparazzi photos taken on the set show Larson wearing the Captain Marvel suit, except it's green rather than being the traditional red, yellow, and blue. This is likely a scene from earlier in the movie, as Mar-Vell initially wore a green suit. Early images of an officially-licensed notebook bearing an illustration of Larson as Captain Marvel indicated that she'll wear the classic colors by the movie's end, as do pieces of concept art Marvel released back in 2017. The trailer revealed that she'll also wear her helmet -- at least while wearing the green suit.
Even though Captain Marvel's film debut/origin story is largely shrouded in mystery, we have some idea about what will happen afterward when the character makes her second appearance in Avengers 4.
Concept art for Avengers 4 shows Captain Marvel, dressed in her red, yellow, and blue suit, alongside the heroes (plus Hawkeye) who survived Infinity War. She apparently comes back from wherever she was in time to help defeat Thanos and, presumably, undo the damage he did with The Snap.
Is water wet?

The Authority has not upheld a complaint that the use of the term 'booted out', in reference to the Speaker of the House, Hon Trevor Mallard, ejecting the Leader of the Opposition, Hon Simon Bridges, from the House, was inaccurate. The Authority found there was no reason to suggest the broadcaster did not make reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of the broadcasts complained about. The Authority found that the use of terms such as 'booted out' and 'kicked out', in reference to Members of Parliament who have been ordered by the Speaker of the House to leave the House, is common in New Zealand and therefore its use was unlikely to mislead or misinform listeners.

A complaint that a segment on Checkpoint that discussed vaccinations was inaccurate was not upheld by the Authority. WAVESnz complained that several statements made by Professor John Fraser during the segment regarding the safety of vaccinations and the contents of vaccines were inaccurate and misleading. The Authority noted that it was not its role to determine the scientific accuracy of Professor Fraser's statements. It found, however, that RNZ made reasonable efforts to ensure the accuracy of the broadcast, taking into account a number of factors including Professor Fraser's reputation and the lack of any reason to question the accuracy of the views expressed by Professor Fraser. The Authority did not identify any real or potential harm and therefore found any restriction on RNZ's right to freedom of expression on this occasion would be unjustified.
Not Upheld: Accuracy
The Authority has not upheld a complaint about an interview between Checkpoint's John Campbell and former United States television personality, Matt Lauer, who at the time was involved in controversy regarding public access to his New Zealand property. The complainant alleged that Mr Campbell unfairly emphasised the New Zealand Overseas Investment Office's (OIO) reassessment of Mr Lauer under its 'good character test', and later made false allegations about who had initially raised this topic. The Authority found that the circumstances of the OIO's assessment were directly relevant to the discussion and that this was raised again later in the interview by Mr Lauer himself. Mr Lauer was given ample opportunity during the interview to present his perspective on his treatment by New Zealand media and the issue of foreign land ownership and public access.

An item on Checkpoint reported that the Sky World building, a multi-storey entertainment complex in central Auckland, had not been issued with a warrant of fitness in 435 days, and that the building remained open throughout that time, with the knowledge of Auckland Council, despite critical fire safety compliance issues. The item (which was broadcast on free-to-air television as well as on radio) included footage of the reporter attempting to contact the owner of the complex, 'A', visiting his home and offices, where he spoke to two employees, 'X' and 'Y'. JNJ Management made a direct privacy complaint to the Authority, submitting that these segments breached the privacy of A and his employees. The Authority did not uphold the complaint, finding that A's home was filmed only to the extent visible to the public and he was filmed in a public place at Sky World so he did not have a reasonable expectation of privacy there. No private information or material was disclosed about the employees during the programme, and they did not have an interest in solitude or seclusion, given the workplace was accessible to members of the public to seek an appointment. Further, the employees were informed of the reporter's identity and the purpose of the reporter's interview, and therefore had an opportunity to object to filming at that time.

A segment on Checkpoint featured an interview with former Green Party Co-Leader Metiria Turei. The interview occurred just after Ms Turei had announced her resignation as Co-Leader. John Campbell questioned Ms Turei about the recent allegations of benefit fraud which had recently arisen, the effect these allegations had on her and whether they ultimately led to her resignation. The Authority did not uphold a complaint that the interview was unbalanced. While the subject matter amounted to a controversial issue of public importance, the Authority found alternate views were put forward through the use of 'devil's advocate' questioning, and noted there was also considerable media coverage of the allegations, meaning there was a wide range of information available on the issue. The interview's focus was Ms Turei's response to the allegations, and as a whole would not have left the audience misinformed regarding the nature of the allegations and Ms Turei's position.

An item on Checkpoint reported on the final stages of a court case in Auckland, known as the 'Dome Valley' kidnapping, in which a young woman was kidnapped, beaten, sexually violated and left to die by a group of her former friends. The reporter outlined the events of the kidnapping and the item featured segments of the victim giving evidence (with her voice disguised) via audio-visual link from another room in the closed court. The reporter and the victim outlined her assault and injuries in some detail. No audience advisory was broadcast. The Authority found that, while this item had high value in terms of the right to freedom of expression, and was in the public interest, a brief audience advisory should have been broadcast to enable listeners to decide if they wished to listen to the detailed, violent content included in the item. While the Authority supported the broadcast of an item that gave voice to the victim, the segment contained descriptions and details that were disturbing in nature and potentially upsetting for listeners, particularly those who had suffered similarly and any children who may have been listening. The Authority did not uphold the complaint under the law and order standard.

An item on Checkpoint discussed the return of a child after she went missing off the coast of New Zealand with her father. Extensive media coverage reported that the pair had sailed to Australia on a catamaran and that the family was involved in a custody dispute, with proceedings pending under the Care of Children Act 2004. The item aired after the child had been located and featured an interview with the child's mother, who discussed her fears for her daughter's safety, and their reunion. The Authority did not uphold a complaint that this item breached the child's privacy and treated her unfairly. The information discussed during the interview was in the public domain at the time of broadcast, and the topic was treated sensitively and respectfully by the interviewer. There was also an element of public interest in the child's welfare and her being found safe. A number of other broadcasting standards raised by the complainant were not applicable or not breached in the context of the broadcast.

An item on Checkpoint reported on tensions between the Horowhenua Rowing Club and certain local Māori residents over the future of the club's use of the building next to Lake Horowhenua. The Authority did not uphold a complaint that the item was inaccurate, unbalanced and unfair. The item carefully conveyed a complex issue, was not factually inaccurate and would not have misled viewers in any material respect. While the conflict surrounding the rowing club's presence at Lake Horowhenua is a controversial issue of public importance, the item included the viewpoints of both parties and was sufficiently balanced. The item did not treat the nominated individuals unfairly, as they were not criticised and had a reasonable opportunity to give their views.

An item on Checkpoint was introduced by the newsreader saying, 'The Māori Education Trust has had to sell its only assets – its farms – putting at risk the grants it is required to make to Māori students'. The item went on to discuss the financial history of the Trust. The Authority did not uphold a complaint that the introduction was inaccurate in that the sale of the farms had actually improved the financial position of the Trust. The financial 'risk' alleged by the broadcast is not a fact able to be objectively determined, and the Trust was able to put forward its position in the item, so listeners would not have been misled.
Not Upheld: Accuracy
The Authority declined to determine a complaint that it was inappropriate for RNZ to use Forsyth Barr and First NZ Capital as business advisors and suppliers of business news for its 'Market Update' segment on Checkpoint. RNZ's choice of business advisors is a matter of editorial discretion rather than broadcasting standards. The complainant has previously made similar complaints and been warned that further similar complaints would be unlikely to be determined in future. Accordingly the Authority declined to determine the present complaint on the basis it was frivolous and vexatious.
Declined to Determine: Law and Order, Fairness, Responsible Programming
An item on Checkpoint reported on the Lombard Finance case, focusing on a former investor and her reaction to the revised sentences handed out to the Lombard directors. The item included a quote which was incorrectly attributed to the directors. The Authority did not uphold the complaint that the misattributed quote was misleading. The quote was from the High Court judge who had summarised what he considered to be the directors' position, so listeners' impression of the directors from the item would not have been materially different.
Not Upheld: Accuracy
Five items reporting on an episode of escalating violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the Gaza Strip were broadcast on Radio New Zealand National. The Authority did not uphold the complaint that they breached the balance standard because they were biased towards the Palestinian position. The broadcaster had clearly made reasonable efforts to present significant viewpoints, including the Israeli perspective, across more than 250 news bulletins and programmes within the period of current interest.
Not Upheld: Controversial Issues
An item on Checkpoint reported that an Anglican Minister had been suspended for removing children from a youth camp to protect them from a man he believed was a sexual predator. The Authority upheld the complaint that the church and the Bishop had been treated unfairly: the broadcaster did not have a sufficient foundation for broadcasting such serious allegations and did not provide any corroborating evidence, and though the church was provided with a fair opportunity to comment, the item failed to adequately present their response. The Authority did not agree that the item breached the controversial issues and accuracy standards: it did not discuss a controversial issue of public importance and the Authority was not in a position to determine whether the impression of the alleged offending was misleading. The Authority made no order.

In a radio interview with the founder of the World Anti-Doping Agency, the host of Checkpoint made three references critical of Jamaica.

A news item on Checkpoint allegedly contained certain comments from Radio New Zealand's economics reporter. The Authority declined to determine the complaint that these comments breached the accuracy, fairness and responsible programming standards: the comments identified by the complainant did not match the broadcast time and date specified and the Authority was therefore unable to assess broadcasting standards against those comments.
Declined to Determine: Accuracy, Fairness, Responsible Programming
Two items on Checkpoint, broadcast on Radio New Zealand National, discussed the results of a recent "clamp down" on drug-taking truck drivers in New Zealand and Australia. The items included interviews with the CEO of the Australia New Zealand Policing Advisory Agency and with a representative of First Union, the union for road transport workers. The Authority did not uphold the complaint that the items breached the controversial issues standard: consideration of whether drug-taking by truck drivers is a widespread problem in New Zealand, and the implications for road safety, did not amount to a discussion of a controversial issue of public importance – at this stage it is not an issue that has been widely discussed or debated publicly – but the broadcaster nevertheless provided some balance in the items.
Not Upheld: Controversial Issues
In an interview on Radio New Zealand National's Checkpoint the Executive Director of the Rape Prevention Education Group stated, "I think our focus has to be on the safety of our children, and we know that approximately one in four girls and one in eight boys are likely to experience some form of sexual violence before the age of 16". RNZ News later reported, "The group's executive director, Kim McGregor, claims . . ." and repeated the figures. The Authority did not uphold the complaint that the statement breached the accuracy standard: the Director's comment was not a statement of fact but reflected her views and experiences, and was presented from an advocacy perspective, the figures were approximates and, while contentious, were supported by some independent research.
Not Upheld: Accuracy
Checkpoint. Interview with Napier resident watching police trying to deal with an armed man barricaded in a house. Law and order. Not upheld.

Presentations from the Cresset User Group Meeting 2019
Thank you to all attendees who contributed to the success of the Cresset User Group Meeting 2019. As I'm sure ...
3D-QSAR based on molecular interaction potentials is a technique with a long pedigree. However, current techniques have a number of issues which make it difficult to reliably produce effective models. Here we explain how QSAR using molecular field sampling has important advantages over grid-based sampling methods. No parameterization of grid size or spacing needs to be performed, the method is gauge invariant and reproducible, and edge effect are reduced as the sample positions are placed at the most important regions of space by construction. New software implementing this technique, 'Forge', is now available from Cresset.
