Things just keep getting worse for Deutsche Bank. The latest mishap for the German giant was an inadvertent $35 billion wire sent to an external account as collateral for a derivatives position. If you're wondering what the big deal is, realize that this is more than the entire market cap of Deutsche Bank (the correct amount should have been $35 million). The execution of a wire with three extra zeroes should have been detected numerous times before being sent. It's these kinds of errors that give risk managers nightmares.
This error, from Deutsche Bank's operations department, obviously should have been preempted by internal controls, especially after a similar event occurred back in 2015. Then, a junior banker made an erroneous $6 billion payment to a U.S. hedge fund client, which was luckily reversed the following day.1
Mishaps like these indicate serious inefficiencies with Deutsche Bank's legacy IT programs. In fact, the bank relies on 32 separate operating systems in its day-to-day operations.2 This led the former IT head to issue the now infamous statement, [Deutsche Bank is] "the most dysfunctional company" she'd ever worked for.3
But a more systemic problem apparently exists, outside of just IT issues. Recent history reveals the German bank has had problems deterring money laundering- Russian clients illegally sent money offshore on a daily basis, unbeknownst to Deutsche Bank.4 There have also been Libor rigging scandals, and recurring fines from the bank's role in the structured products that exacerbated the financial crisis.
Moving Forward for Deutsche Bank
Here are three ways that Deutsche Bank might tweak their business strategy to better compete in banking down the road.
Utilize Big Data Analytics
With nearly 100,000 employees worldwide, the environment at Deutsche Bank is ripe for inefficiency. Communications and transactions between employees, departments, subsidiaries, partners, and clients create redundancies and reduce productivity. Greater adoption of business analytics and data science programs is an absolute must for Deutsche Bank and the company has admitted plans to invest heavily in digital technologies.
Deutsche Bank could use analytics to better monitor its employee's communications so any type of rate-rigging scandals would be a thing of the past. The insights should also help the bank better understand the identity and connections of their vast number of clients. This is especially important as many use a web of complex offshore shell companies to move money illegally, dodge taxes and mask ownership. Deutsche Bank must ensure compliance with international regulations and sanctions- not an easy thing to keep track of.
Another 'risky' area the bank should closely monitor with big data analytics is derivatives. Here, the bank's footprint is massive globally and they serve as counterparty on several different types of financial contracts. These range from interest rate and credit default swaps to foreign currencies transactions. Amazingly, the bank has amassed $40 trillion in notional value of derivative contracts, although the net amount is much lower, $18 billion.5 Still, derivatives remain arguably the bank's biggest risk.
Analytics may help detect if any of their counterparties are in trouble before it becomes obvious to the market. That way, the bank can take proactive measures to preserve capital.
Realign the Workforce Towards Risk Management
With the bank so crucial to the EU, especially post-Brexit, it's imperative that risk management be at the forefront of corporate strategy. For some perspective, the bank has total assets of roughly $1.6 trillion, larger than the total Gross Domestic Product of Italy. The emphasis must be on systemic safety and compliance, not risky trading strategies or winning Wall Street investment banking business.
We're likely to see a realignment of employees at the bank- towards risk management and away from top-line growing positions like sales, trading and capital markets. It's already begun- earlier this year, the bank's Chief Regulatory Officer vowed to boost hiring for compliance, regulatory and anti-corruption initiatives by another 400 employees (to total 3000).6 Expect that number to rise substantially and for the bank pay up for top talent.
Be ready for this hiring boom by earning a Degree in Finance.
Generous compensation at the bank has been a consistent theme despite the scandals and declining operating performance. In fact, Deutsche Bank's Managing Directors are reportedly the third-highest paid group of all major banks, behind just Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan.7
A Brand Remake
Deutsche Bank should consider their transgressions as an opportunity for a rebranding campaign to improve their reputation. They might consider a page from Wells Fargo's new marketing strategy. The San Francisco-based bank has had its own scandals to deal with over the last decade. In fact, Wells' transgressions were arguably more damaging since they breached the trust of individual customers by misappropriating their private data to open up phony accounts.
Wells Fargo recently released its 'mea culpa' campaign, which has actually been well received. A media barrage of advertisements centers around not only apologizing for the breach of trust as well as the future of Wells Fargo and its 2018 're-establishment'. While just a slogan, it is a start. Deutsche Bank could introduce its own new campaign aimed at both institutions and individuals.
Further, Wells Fargo has stopped the practice of individual sales quotas-this was at the root of the problem of the client account scandal. Deutsche Bank could follow suit by reevaluating bonus incentives for traders and market makers. This could go a long way in reducing rogue trading and/or rigging scandals. The focus could switch to the more stable assets under management model prevalent in wealth management today.
Opportunities for Women at Deutsche Bank
The current push for enhanced diversity around the financial industry is a welcomed development. Our Women in Finance series has been paying homage to successful businesswomen for years now. Arguably, there has never been a better opportunity for women pursuing careers in finance.
And Deutsche Bank appears to be ahead of the curve with women's initiatives. In a statement, "the bank will continue to build a pipeline for female talent for technical and STEM roles, with a clearer path to career progression across all areas of the bank".8 The 'clearer progression' hopefully means more women will make the jump into more senior roles at the bank.
With the focus on STEM recruiting, those who can effectively marry technology skills and business vision should be strong candidates for management positions. Couple these statements with Deutsche Bank's commitment to closing the gender pay gap and other initiatives could mean serious opportunities for well-qualified women at the bank.9
Masters Degrees Make Professionals More Valuable
Classic graduate degrees such as a Masters of Economics degree or Masters in Finance are always valuable credentials for aspiring financial professionals. But at Deutsche Bank, more specialized programs like a Masters of Financial Crimes and Compliance Management or an MBA with a concentration in Business Analytics should go a long way as they better align with the bank's new direction. They are also relatively new disciplines so you'll likely stand out among the many candidates vying for positions. Many of these advanced finance degrees are now offered online, providing flexibility for working professionals and other non-traditional students.
Deutsche Bank has made plenty of mistakes, but the future could still be bright. There are opportunities for professionals with the proper skill sets, including risk management and business analytics, to transform the bank from a dysfunctional behemoth to an efficient banking powerhouse.

FY2013 Fiscal Operations Plan
October 1, 2012 -- March 27, 2013
The NIH will operate under a Continuing Resolution (H.J. Resolution 117), signed as Public Law 112-175. Government operations will continue at the FY2012 level plus 0.6 percent.
Until the FY2013 appropriations are enacted, NEI will issue non-competing research grant awards at a level generally up to 90% of the previously committed level on the most recent Notice of Award. Upward adjustments will be considered after the appropriations are enacted, but we expect institutions to monitor their expenditures carefully during this period.

Fully-Funded Leverhulme Trust PhD Studentship: 'Antarctic Sea Ice Evolution and Ecosystem Responses Since the Last Glacial Maximum'
(23 January 2020)
This project, funded by the Leverhume Trust, aims to reconstruct sea-ice histories from changes in biomarkers of snow petrel diet. The project will focus on the eastern Weddell Sea, from the Last Glacial Maximum to present. The PhD student will apply a range of geochemical techniques (trace metals, stable isotope and biomarker analysis) to accumulated deposits of regurgitated stomach oils generated by snow petrels where they nest above the Antarctic ice sheet. These stomach oil deposits ('mumiyo') can be tens of thousands of years old, and preserve evidence of changing snow petrel diet and sea-ice conditions.
This project will use samples of mumiyo which have previously been collected from Antarctica by members of the supervisory team. The student will join a wider team at Durham University and the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), funded by the Leverhulme Trust; this larger project includes examination of the evolutionary history of the snow petrels using DNA analysis, and ecological modelling of long-term changes in snow petrel diet and distributions (project led by Professor Erin McClymont at Durham University).
The studentship is tenable for 42 months from October 2020, and covers UK / EU fees, a tax-free maintenance grant (set at the UK Research Council's national rate: currently £15,009), and all analytical costs. No fieldwork is planned for this project. Funding is available to support attendance at national and international conferences. The student will have access to training support through Durham University and the host department, as well as bespoke training from the supervisory team in the Department of Geography and at BAS.
The studentship is open to UK / EU candidates who hold a First or 2:1 undergraduate degree (or equivalent). English language evidence may also be required if applicants are not native speakers of English.
The deadline for applications is Wednesday 5th February, 2020.
To apply, please send the following documents to email@example.com with the reference "Mumiyo-PhD":
a current CV
a cover letter (2 pages A4 max) which describes your motivation for applying and your previous research experience
letters from two references (can be sent directly to firstname.lastname@example.com by referees)
transcripts of previous qualifications
Applications will be reviewed and shortlisted. Interviews will take place between 21st February and 4th March.
Queries about the project should be directed to Professor Erin McClymont (firstname.lastname@example.com).

Chunky Panday's daughter Ananya Panday is all geared up for the release of her debut film Student Of The Year 2. The newbie is a complete fashionista and keeps on updating her social media handles with quirky as well as tasteful fashion choices. The debutante actress recently posted yet another look from her closet that is all of us right before a weekend.
The young fashionista looks radiant and completely stunning. She seems to be prepping for the weekend ahead, and her outfit completely sums up everyone's weekend mood.
Ananya can be seen wearing a loose white shirt paired with white sneakers. Her all-white look has grabbed the attention of fans and comments have been pouring in.
Printed as 'Saturday Party, Sunday Selfie' and Ananya captioned her photo with, "Walking into the weekend like". This outfit is the perfect wear for a lazy weekend. ( Also Read: Ananya Panday's style inspiration is father Chunky Panday. Shocked? Don't be - photos here)
Ananya was in the news earlier, after she got into a car accident on the sets of the film. However, it now it seems that she has recuperated from her injuries and went back to shoot the film after spending some quality time with her family.
Her debut film Student Of The Year 2, stars Tiger Shroff in the lead role alongside Tara Sutaria who will also make her debut to the film industry. Unlike Student Of The Year, this time around the movie is going to be a two-heroine project. Directed by Punit Malhotra, the movie is set to hit the big screens on November 23.

What a way to start this glorious week! Pure unadulterated romance, sublime photography and all in elegant style.
Joanna and Ashley are our couple today and they were married on the 12th August 2017 in a church ceremony followed by a marquee reception at Zinnia Gardens in Surrey. Let me first talk about those portraits in the lavender though, dreamy or what!? Nataly J Photography's captures are so beautiful here and we cannot thank her enough for sharing them with us. The couple stopped off at Mayfield Lavender for the portraits especially, what a marvellous idea.
The colour scheme was all white, with striking greenery touches mixed with white blooms. Think foliage garlands, calligraphy stationery and minimal decoration, the marquee looked a real sight to behold.
The couple though have really upped the style stakes. Joanna chose to wear an illusion lace back gown by Dando London and she looked just incredible. Ashley's suit had old school cool style, with a white jacket and black bow tie combo. It's all SO stunning folks.
THE PROPOSAL | 1st April 2017. Ashley proposed on a private rooftop garden overlooking the Thames in London. He decorated the garden with candles and fairy lights and had a violin player appear playing one of Joanna's favourite melodies when he got on one knee.
THE VISION | All white classy summer marquee wedding.
THE PLANNING PROCESS | Joanna and Ashley knew exactly what they wanted and made all their plans themselves through inspiration from Pinterest and other weddings. Having such a short amount of time to plan a big wedding of over 300 meant they had to be decisive, yet didn't ever compromise. In the lead up to the wedding and on the day they had an amazing wedding coordinator, Francesca, who was a God-send in making their final plans and arrangements come to life.
THE VENUE | They had their ceremony in the stunning Croydon Minster and chose Zinnia Gardens, a beautiful premier marquee venue in Surrey for their reception.
THE DRESS + ACCESSORIES | Amazing dress is designed by Dando London. And is Chelsea model.
FINDING THE DRESS | Joanna had no idea what kind of dress she wanted before trying them on. She fell in love with the first dress she tried on at Confetti & Lace. After getting her mum's teary approval she went on to purchase it, together with a tail veil and head veil. She fell in love with the detail on the back of the dress as well as how much it complimented and highlighted her figure – she knew this is what Ashley would love (and he did!).
GROOM'S ATTIRE | Ashley had his suit tailor made.
THE READINGS + MUSIC | We had bible readings read by close family members – Ecclesiastes 4:9-12, 1 Corinthians 13, and proverbs 31.
Joanna walked down the aisle to a string and piano version of A Thousand Years by Christina Pedro. During the ceremony there was string quartet, pianist and band playing songs focussing on God's love, which meant a lot to the couple.
BEAUTIFUL BRIDESMAIDS | Bridesmaids were wearing Vera Wang white dresses. They looked absolutely stunning! Their make up was done by the talented Santhy Smith.
THE FLOWERS DETAILS + DÉCOR | Joanna chose GA weddings to do both her flowers and décor after seeing her work at other events and on social media. Everything was so beautiful! As the theme was all white, they chose white roses mixed with other seasonal white flowers for the bouquets and button holes.
At the reception, tables had an elegant white orchid centrepiece. There was calligraphy for name cards. Wedding favours were sugared almonds in bags together with little hearts engraved with 'Mr &Mrs J-B' and the date.
THE CAKE | The cake was made by a talented family friend of the couple, who went as far as America to collect bits to decorate the cake. It was quite spectacular to say the least!
YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER | The couple chose natalyjphotography to do their photography. She captured their day so perfectly. They had photos in between the ceremony and reception in Mayfield Lavendar field, where they had fun dodging insects and stinging nettles whilst taking the shots.
Before the wedding they had a pre-wedding shoot on Reigate hill, where they managed to catch a moment in the wheat fields just before it got harvested!
THE HONEYMOON | Joanna and Ashley went to Mauritius the morning after their wedding. They stayed at the 5* outrigger hotel resort for two weeks. Much needed time of relaxation and enjoyment of one another after the manic months of planning the wedding.
ADVICE FOR OTHER COUPLES | It is possible to organise your dream wedding in a short amount of time – you just have to be decisive, creative and determined.
We also definitely recommend going on a marriage preparation course – it set us up so well for marriage and starting it well!

Rings | David Marshall London
Make Up | Santhy for bridesmaids. Sherrelle Findlay

Oh my, such loveliness.
Joanna and Ashley, we cannot thank you both enough for sharing your wedding story. Thanks also to Nataly for providing these sublime shots xo Lou

Imagine cowl
Enjoy a freebie and have a little fun with this easy, breezy knitted cowl with just a tad of lace.
Knitted accessories are a must for me, so I am always coming up with new ways to wear my knitting throughout the year. The warmer months can create a bit more of a challenge. This cowl, due to the needle sizes and the yarns used (non wools), isn't too warm to wear at all.
Plus it can be styled as a long cowl, short cowl, double cowl, wrap, as a hoodie or even as a shrug~ Fabulous!!
This can be a great stash buster project! So get out your leftovers …….
You can go wild and colorful or keep it tone on tone. Play with textures too~ Make it uniquely you. Instructions are given when to switch yarn.
Yarn as shown
One Imagine yarn cake, all ready to start knitting with, available at www.yarnz2GO.com. Great for vegans or people with allergies~
No wool keeps it cool!
220 yards of various weights, textures and colored yarns in 20 yard (18.3 m) portions. Fingering, sport, DK yarns used.
US size 10 (6 mm) circular needle 32" (80 cm) in length
US 13 (9 mm) circular needle 32" (80 cm) in length
Stitch marker
12 sts and 16 rows in 4" knitted in stockinette stitch with sport weight yarn and larger needle.
Measurements blocked 54" in circumference and 14" in height blocked.
NOTE: These measurements can only be achieved with proper gauge. We had lots of variances in sizing during the test knit and let's face it if it is just a regular looking knit, well then it's not what you Imagined….

Cinnamomum verum
Common names: cinnamon, ceylon cinnamon
Family: Lauraceae
Actions: Anti-fungal, antimicrobial, antiviral, antiseptic, carminative, anti-spasmodic, anti-diabetic, aromatic digestive, circulatory stimulent, uterine stimulent, antioxidant
Menstrual Phase: Menstruation (Winter). Cinnamon is a wonderful herb to use during the bleeding phase to warm the body, reduce period pain and stoke the fire within by replenishing vitality and energy due to low hormones and fatigue.
Energy: Warming, sweet and spicy (Pitta increasing herb)
Taste: Sweet, aromatic
Oh cinnamon how sweet you are!
I love to add this spicy and warming herb to my smoothies, porridge, slow cooked stews, bliss balls and hot tonics. Cinnamon bark has been used for several thousand years in traditional Eastern and Western herbalism - it is one of the worlds oldest herbal healers.
I chose cinnamon for this month's 'Botanical Reflections' not only because I love using this herb for women's wellness in tinctures and teas but also because cinnamon is a great antiviral plant and is very useful during the current health pandemic and of course during the cold and flu seasons.
With its known antimicrobial, antioxidant, and immune boosting effects, cinnamon can be a great choice for respiratory fighting infections and driving cold conditions out of the body. If you can wanting to support your immune system and keep the bugs at bay, I recommend getting this potent herb into your daily life.
A recipe you could try at home is 1/2 tsp of cinnamon mixed into hot lemon water (1/2 large lemon juiced) sweetened slightly with raw honey. I recommend having this tonic in the morning when you wake up as it's invigorating and gets your blood/circulation moving. You may also like to try the 'Immune Boosting Winter Chai' recipe at the end of this blog! It's delicious!
Cinnamon is an overall tonic for the body and one of my favourite herbs to to bring sweetness and warmth back when your constitution is cold, stagnant and sluggish. If you struggle with circulation issues, poor digestion or sugar imbalances, it may be the herb for you! Though if you have too much Yang energy and heat in your body (are you often running hot or angry?), cinnamon could be too heating and fiery for you. You may benefit from a herb like Chamomile that is cooling in nature.
Besides fighting off viruses and other pathogens, Cinnamon can help support poor digestion by reducing bloating, nausea, flatulence and stomach pain. If you struggle with sluggish digestive function, try combining it with ginger and chamomile as an herbal infusion and drinking a cup 30 minutes after meals.
When it comes to women's health and the menstrual cycle, Cinnamon can be a beautiful herb to use with women who struggle with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) as it can help improve insulin sensitivity (a major factor with most types of PCOS), menstrual regularity and blood circulation to the uterus. I love using cinnamon with peony and liquorice in a tincture to support ovulation, adrenal function and sugar imbalances through out the whole cycle.
Cinnamon really shines in the menstrual phase (Winter) due to it's warming and soft stimulating energy. It can help move stagnated energy and blood to and from the reproductive system (uterus) and may help relieve menstrual cramps and reduce blood clotting during this phase. It's also a beautiful herb to use for heavy bleeding due to its astringent action, helping to constrict the blood vessels and slow excessive blood flow.
Here is a herbal tea recipe by one of my favourite Mentors and teachers in Herbalism, Rosemary Gladstar.
Women's Reproductive Tonic
Simmer herbs for 10 - 20mins in a pot, strain and consume 2-3 cups per day
Cinnamon Safety: Avoid use of herb in pregnancy and lactation (food spice is generally safe). Some individuals may have an allergic reaction to cinnamon on the skin and mucosa. Take extra caution with cinnamon bark essential oil. Cinnamon is also contraindicated in cases of gastrointestinal ulcers and compromised livers. Cassia cinnamon, contains high levels of coumarin and large amounts of this should not be consumed as it may be toxic. Ceylon cinnamon contains very low levels of coumarin and is my preferred cinnamon to use and prescribe.
Always consult a qualified herbalist before taking a herbal remedy when pregnant, breast feeding or on medication. Having a personalised and holistic wellness plan is always safest and the most effective, click here to book a 1:1 consultation with me.

Today, I bring you a spoiler from the upcoming Eternal Masters set. It is only fitting that ManaDeprived.com gets to unveil the most efficient single-target land destruction spell of all time:
You know that sinking feeling that you get when you're playing some expensive blue deck full of dual lands and powerful spells, you mulligan and keep a 1-land hand, and then you find out that your opponent is playing this?
Pox – Reid Duke
I know this feeling all too well. You Force of Will a Hymn to Tourach because you might as well choose which two cards you're about to lose. You cast some cantrips to try to find some more lands, maybe you get Wastelanded and Smallpoxed, but you're holding on to some small chance of crawling back into the game as you sit there with no cards in hand and one land left in play. Then, BOOM – the last shred of hope that you had left gets hit with a Sinkhole. You consider scooping, which is awkward because you don't have any permanents left to scoop up.
Sinkhole is a card that harkens back to the days of Magic when spells were powerful and creatures were not. Nowadays, in modern Magic sets, this kind of effect costs you twice as much mana! Stone Rain isn't even welcome anymore – it hasn't been reprinted since 9th Edition, nearly eleven years ago.
Lands are almost always the most important resource in the game of Magic. Just to show how powerful a card like Sinkhole is, players have gone to great lengths to try to replicate such an effect. Cards like Boomerang and Eye of Nowhere were played alongside actual land destruction spells in Blue-Red Magnivore decks. Boom // Bust has been paired with Flagstones of Trokair or fetchlands to "build-your-own Sinkhole."
Spending a card for one of your opponent's lands is generally an unfavorable trade, especially since you usually don't have an opportunity to prevent them from using their land at least once. But in Eternal Masters Limited, I expect there to be some powerful nonbasic lands making an appearance. If you aren't lucky enough to open a Wasteland, and you're playing black, Sinkhole might be a narrow card that you can use to answer a problematic land in your opponent's deck. Perhaps we'll see some creature lands, such as Mishra's Factory, or even land enchantments, like a Utopia Sprawl-effect.
Sinkhole is coming to claim your land. Nothing is safe. No mana left undeprived. Va-land Morghulis. All lands must die.

Some of them, such as "My Dog" and "Broken Record," were resurrected for "Goodnight Tender," her fifth solo studio effort released on her Daemon Records label that arrives digitally Tuesday and on CD and vinyl Jan. Others, such as the banjo and mandolin-inflected "The Gig That Matters" and "Duane Allman," which features the harmonizing of Susan Tedeschi, wife of Derek Trucks — who is often called the second coming of Allman — sprang from Ray's myriad influences, including her surroundings."Before I moved [to the north Georgia mountains] , which was 20 years ago, my exposure to country was probably limited to Willie (Nelson) and Dolly (Parton) and Kris Kristofferson, which is all great.Well, when I was at the age that I found them, they were gay role models just like I hope that somewhere in the world a teenager is able to look to me and my records in the same way.I hope that they're able to say the same thing about me from a place of success and from a place of acceptance as a part of society, instead of oppression.Anyway, she was talking about the leaps and bounds that we've made as a community -- not that we don't have a long way to go -- and how much harder it was then when the Indigo Girls were coming out. [Laughs.] I'm actually not sure she knows it, because I was working out in a studio doing background vocals for people -- like an ambiguous voice, basically -- and her CD came through, and it was just something to sing onto.And I could see by talking to her that they -- along with k.d. So I'm not even sure she knows I'm singing onto it.and Melissa, Ellen, Elton John, and Freddie Mercury -- really laid it out on the line and demanded nothing short of acceptance from people. I spent a few days in New York City with Amy around the release of her record, and I saw her doing all these interviews for gay publications. I don't talk about my relationship because my partner didn't really make the decision to be part of my craziness. [Laughs.] Well, talk about this then, because I don't think a lot of people know that you actually did background vocals for Melissa Etheridge's Lucky album. You've met a couple of your idols -- the Indigo Girls and Elton John. I've always been a fan of Ellen, since she was doing stand-up -- before I knew she was gay. When I first saw you in 2005, you performed for an obnoxious group of drunks.I believe that if you asked them why they did it, they would tell you that they did it to be included, so for the generations to come there would be a real shot to walk through the world, including this industry. Those people are the way-pavers, and the best way for me to thank them is to take my place in the world seriously and live honestly. That's the first time the light bulb went on in my head, and I was like, 'Wait a minute, do these people want to talk to me? But I understand you want to meet Ellen De Generes and perform on her show. My parents knew I was a huge fan of Ellen back in the day, when I was a teenager. [Laughs.] I remember I taped her coming out episode and I had it on VHS hidden with all my other tapes with a fake label on it that said 'David's Softball Game.' When did you actually tell them? How does it feel to be able to play at venues for people who actually appreciate your music?
It was amazing, and I was so nervous about it and so full of things to say that were going to be really profound and really exciting because Elton influenced me in so many ways, personally and musically.

Painting from ceremonial house
mid 20th century
collected 1965
Unknown Artist
Throughout the Sepik river, in particular the lower Sepik groups of Anggoram and Kambot as well as the Abelam region, ceremonial houses were decorated with panels made from sago palm petiotes, known as 'panggals'. Using charcoal, ochres and other mineral pigments, artists painted onto panels, which were often bound together with plant fibre to form a larger surface on which to work.
These panels were adorned with paintings representing mythological beings, spirits and motifs from the Sepik plant and animal world. The motifs found on this panel resemble designs found on paintings collected on the Berlin Ethnological Museum's Sepik expedition of 1912-13, and reproduced in Heinz Kelm's 'Kunst vom Sepik' (catalogue numbers 328-332), published in 1966.

What is it?
Could it be...?
I think I know!
Yes, new wheels! Well, not really new. I painted them about a month ago. Not that I didn't like the original color (silver with chrome lip and center). I just don't like silver and white together. I prefer darker colored wheels, especially on lighter cars. I think it looks more aggressive.
It looks like it has a 4x4 lift kit because the car had been on jackstands for a week or so and the suspension had not settled when I took this photo.
I used the only wheel paint I know of: Dupli-color wheel coating along with their wheel clear coat. The color is Graphite. It turned out darker than I expected, but it's still nice. I'm not sure about long term durability, but no real problems so far other than a few chips in the lug nut holes while I was installing them on the car.
More photos I took a couple days ago:
It had just rained when I took these, the little bumps are water drops. The photos are so small it's hard to tell.
My favorite. I like this one so much I uploaded it in a bigger size. Click the photo to see.

Bromley Church Schools' Partnership Celebrates Religious Education
The 10th of March saw Bishop Justus CE School host this annual event, attended by children and staff from ten schools within the Bromley Church Schools' Partnership. BCSP is an informal partnership of twelve Bromley schools, which share collective worship, events and RE training. Ninety year 5 and ten year 7 children enjoyed a day of learning activities, based on themes of Easter.
The day began with children splitting into three workshop groups led by Bishop Justus music staff, working on preparing a musical showcase. The combined vocal and instrumental performance raised the roof with praise and set a powerful start to the day. A lunch and then playtime on the Bishop Justus Astroturf, was followed by an interactive market place; each school providing a beautifully presented display and market stall, where children and adults could participate in a learning activity based on a theme of Easter. The day ended with groups of children mixed from the various schools, working together to debate a variety of philosophical and ethical issues, the outcomes of which were presented back to the whole group.
The day ended with the children being presented with certificates of attendance. The success of the day was summed up by Alison Hills, Deputy Head of St Paul's Cray CE School: "The children really enjoyed the day and were buzzing with excitement on their way back to school." Lee Kings Assistant Head Teacher at Bishop Justus was "delighted to see children and staff from different schools, working together and celebrating a shared experience of RE; RE has definitely been celebrated here in Bromley."

Abstract: The relationship between future earnings and current stock returns is called as future earnings response coefficient that indicates reflection of future earnings information in current stock price. The more information of firms be available to investors, their future earnings forecast will be more accurate. As a result, reflection of more future earnings information in current stock price, cause an increase in the relationship between future earnings and current stock returns. The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of product market competition on the future earnings response coefficient and also the moderator effect of institutional ownership on their relationship. To measure the future earnings response coefficient and the product market competition level, Collins et al (1994) adjusted model by Lundholm and Myers (2002) and Herfindahl-Hirschman Index is used, respectively. In order to achieve to the research goal, A total of 100 firms, including firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange during the years from 2005 to 2015 were screened in the community. To test the hypotheses, a multivariate regression model with panel data is used. According to the results, the impact of product market competition on future earnings response coefficient, is significantly positive. Also, the effect of institutional ownership on the relationship between product market competition and future earnings response coefficient is significantly positive.

World Famous People
Sharon Stone
Sharon Stone was born in 1958 in Meadville Pensylvannia as a second child of her parents. Her father was a colourman and her mother worked as an accountant. Sharon studied creative writing and fine arts at Edinboro State University of Pennsylvania. When she was seventeen she won title "Miss of Pensylvanny". Two years later she began succesfuly career as a model in New York. She worked for Eileen Ford's model agency. She posed also for magazines like Vogue and Elle and we can find her naked in Playboy too.
Sharon's first role was in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories when she was 22 years old. But then things slowed down. Sharon played in movies like Action Jackson, Cold Steel and Police Academy 4 and also in some TV serials like Bay City Blues. In 1984 Sharon got married for the first time with Michael Greenburg. For the change in her carrer Sharon had to wait 10 long years. And then came Total Recall, where Sharon played the best of her action role as a Lori, the Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife.
But real upturn came in 1992 with a great movie Basic Instinct. Her role of sexually voracious crime writer made from her one of the biggest star in Hollywood and established her as a sexual symbol. In Basic Instinct Sharon revealed to the world one more thing: there was nothing between her and her tight dress. In a more conventionally sympathetic role, Stone followed up with another sizzling sex melodrama, Sliver (1993), which did middling business stateside but proved a solid success overseas. On the set of this movie (Sliver) Sharon met a producer Bill McDonald. They were engaged to be married for some time.
She again flexed her international box-office clout paired with Sylvester Stallone in the explosive actioner The Specialist (1994) but fared much less well commercially with her next project, The Quick and the Dead (1995), which marked her producing debut. Stone looked terrific in Western duds playing something of a distaff version of a Clint Eastwood-like gunfighter. Her directorial choice, Sam Raimi, helmed the smartly derivative tale with style to spare but the critical reception was uneven and the domestic take pathetic. In 1995 she got part in Scorsese's Casino. For this role she was awarded by Golden Globe and was nominated for Oscar. Her next character part was in Last Dance, where Sharon played a woman in prison waiting for the execution. In Sphere she played beside Dustin Hoffman. Her newest movies are Gloria, The Mighty and The Muse.
Sphere was released on Valentine's weekend, coincided with Sharon's marriage to San Francisco newspaper editor Phil Bronstein. They are together still happy and in Spring 2000 they adopted a child. Their son is called Roan Joseph Bronstein and was born to Texas teenagers on May 22 2000. And please remember, Sharon isn't only blonde beauty, she is also very clever with IQ 154. And what can we wish to Sharon in her future life? Just only the greatest movies and happy marriage.
Sharon Stone biography 2
Screen siren, opinionated diva, and one of the few actresses in Hollywood who can claim to be both a Paul Verhoeven muse and a MENSA member, Sharon Stone is nothing if not a legend in her own right. Beginning with her notorious disinclination to wear underwear during a police interrogation in Basic Instinct, Sharon Stone went on to become one of the most talked about actresses of the '90s, earning both admiration and infamy for her on- and off-screen personae.
Almost as famous as Sharon Stone's glamorous image are her working-class roots. Born in the Northwest Pennsylvania town of Meadville on March 10, 1958, Sharon grew up a bookworm in a large family. Highly intelligent in addition to being a local beauty pageant queen, she won a scholarship to Pennsylvania's Edinboro University when she was 15 years old. After studying creative writing and fine arts, she decided to pursue a modeling career, and after moving to New York, she signed on with the Eileen Ford agency. Sharon became a successful model by the late '70s, appearing in print and television ads for Clairol, Revlon, and Diet Coke.
In 1980, Stone branched out into acting, making her screen debut as the "pretty girl on train" in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories. Following this role, she spent the '80s appearing in one forgettable film after another, often cast as the stereotypical blonde bimbo. She finally got a break in 1990, when she appeared as Arnold Schwarzenegger's kickboxing secret-agent wife in Verhoeven's Total Recall. Any recognition she gained for that role, however, was more than eclipsed by the notoriety she earned for her starring turn in her second Verhoeven feature, Basic Instinct. The 1992 film, in which Stone portrayed a bisexual author/sexual adventurer who may or may not be a serial killer, did her a huge favor by making her a star but also a sizable disservice by further typecasting her in blonde seductress roles. Stone's subsequent effort, the erotic thriller Sliver (1993), was an example of this: the actress attracted notice less for her acting than for her willingness to simulate masturbation. Her role in the following year's The Specialist was also fairly limiting -- an action flick co-starring Sylvester Stallone, it called for Stone to run around in a tight dress in heels when she wasn't seducing various characters.
In 1995, Stone managed to break into the "serious actress" arena with her performance in Martin Scorsese's Casino. Cast as an ex-prostitute, she won an Oscar nomination and a Golden Globe for her work, as well as the general opinion that she was capable of dramatic acting. Stone branched out further that same year with The Quick and the Dead, a revisionist Western directed by Sam Raimi in which she starred as a tough-talking, hard-drinking broad bent on revenge. Unfortunately, the film was a relative flop, as were here subsequent 1996 films, Diabolique, a remake of the 1954 French film and Last Dance, a drama that featured Stone as a woman on death row.
By this point winning more notice for her off-screen role as an arbiter of fashion and old-school Hollywood glamour than for her onscreen acting work, Stone next lent her voice to the animated Antz in 1998. The film proved to be a success, unlike the actress's other projects that year, the sci-fi thriller Sphere and The Mighty. The latter film, which Stone produced as well as starred in, was a heartfelt story about two adolescent misfits; although it did win a number of positive reviews, audiences largely stayed away from it. The same couldn't be said of Stone's next film, a 1999 remake of Gloria; not only did audiences stay away from it, critics savaged it with vituperative glee. Never one to let a bad review get her down, Stone soon rebounded, receiving a more positive reception for her performance in The Muse and then starring as Jeff Bridges' long-suffering wife in Simpatico. If her roles in the years that followed weren't as high profile, that's certainly not to say that they were any less challenging. After taking a turn towards the small screen in the lesbian-themed made-for-cable drama If These Walls Could Talk 2, Stone broke for comedy with Alfonso Arau's Picking Up the Pieces and essayed the role of an unpredictable bad girl in Beautiful Joe (all 2000). Having veered increasingly towards family-oriented fare in recent years, the trend continued with vocal work for Harold and the Purple Crayon. Of course, all was not child's play in Stone's career, and with the release of Cold Creek Manor the following year, audiences were indeed in for a frightful chill.
In 2004, Stone appeared opposite Halle Berry in the eagerly anticipated Catwoman, and despite a confession that she was toning down her oft cited diva-like ways after suffering a brain aneurysm in 2001, rumors of outrageous behavior on the film's set continued to circulate. By the time the film was released though, the only thing anyone was talking about was its abysmal failure at the box office and the nearly across-the-board negative reviews from critics.

Sharon Stone biography 3
This former beauty pageant contestant and Ford model made her film debut with a non-speaking part as a beautiful woman fleetingly glimpsed from a moving train in Woody Allen's Stardust Memories (1980), and thereafter clawed her way to a stardom that has brought back an old-fashioned, high-octane glamour to the role of "movie star." Sharon Stone, who grew up a bookworm in a large family in Northwest Pennsylvania, worked her way up from McDonald's counter-girl to successful Ford model (both in print ads and TV commercials) by the late 1970s.
Through the 1980s, Stone appeared as a stereotypical blonde in mostly forgettable roles: in Wes Craven's Deadly Blessing (1981); as a down-and-out waitress turned petulant movie star in Irreconcilable Differences (1984); an archaeologist's daughter in King Solomon's Mines (1985) and its sequel, Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold (1987). Other unmemorable early credits include Police Academy 4: Citizens on Patrol (1987), Action Jackson (1988) and the umpteenth remake of Blood and Sand (1989).
Stone also struggled in TV, beginning with a tiny part in "Not Just Another Affair" (CBS, 1982), the short-lived series Bay City Blues (NBC, 1983) and gradually bigger (though not better) roles in the TV movies "Calendar Girl Murders" (ABC, 1984), "The Vegas Strip War" (NBC, 1984), the failed cop-show pilot "Hollywood Starr" (ABC, 1985), "Mr. and Mrs. Ryan" (ABC, 1986), "Badlands 2005" (ABC, 1988) and "Tears in the Rain" (Showtime, 1988). Probably her only TV success was a supporting role as Robert Mitchum's daughter-in-law in the epic miniseries War and Remembrance (ABC, 1988-89).
Stone's first real break was playing Arnold Schwarzenegger's kick-boxing, secret agent "wife" in Paul Verhoeven's sci-fi actioner Total Recall (1990). After five more forgettable thrillers and comedies, she finally achieved the proverbial "overnight" stardom as a sexually voracious crime writer opposite Michael Douglas in Verhoeven's controversial and popular erotic thriller, Basic Instinct (1992). Her pantie-less leg-crossing scene brought Stone much-needed notoriety, but has haunted her ever since.
In a more conventionally sympathetic role, Stone followed up with another sizzling sex melodrama, Sliver (1993), which did middling business stateside but proved a solid success overseas. Trying to escape the sex-bomb trap, she begged for the frigid wife role in Intersection (1994), which met with limited success. She again flexed her international box-office clout paired with Sylvester Stallone in the explosive actioner The Specialist (1994) but fared much less well commercially with her next project, The Quick and the Dead (1995), which marked her producing debut. Stone looked terrific in Western duds playing something of a distaff version of a Clint Eastwood-like gunfighter. Her directorial choice, Sam Raimi, helmed the smartly derivative tale with style to spare but the critical reception was uneven and the public stayed away. She rebounded with her widely acclaimed performance as Ginger, the Vegas hustler who wins the heart of Robert De Niro, in Casino (also 1995).
The highly-paid, much-in-demand star (she has her own production company, Chaos, and has signed a first-look deal with Miramax) next filmed a remake of the noir classic Diabolique with Isabelle Adjani and Chazz Palmentieri and played a death-row inmate whose lawyer (Rob Morrow) works to save her from execution in Last Dance (both 1996). Stone, a diva who thoroughly enjoys her hard-won stardom, is a clever manipulator of her public image—on heavy press days, she reportedly changes outfits between each interview and photo session, a practice unheard of since the days of Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer. She lives, fittingly enough, in a gated French chateau in Beverly Hills.

Sharon Stone biography 4
NAME: Sharon Stone
BIRTH PLACE: Meadville, USA.
Sharon Stone biography. The daughter of working-class parents in a North Pennsylvania town, American actress Sharon Stone was both the recipient of a scholarship to Penn State's Edinboro University and a winner of local beauty pageants.
Studying fine arts and creative writing, Stone began a successful modelling career in the late 1970s, becoming the face of Diet Coke, Revlon and Clairol.
Starting with a small role in Woody Allen's 'Stardust Memories' in 1980, Stone took some time to escape "blonde-bimbo" typecasting.
Her break arrived in 1990, when she starred opposite Arnold Swarzenegger in 'Total Recall'. However, it was her role in 'Basic Instinct', two years later, that truly made her a star.
In the 1992 film, Stone played a bisexual nymphet and alleged serial killer, and caused outrage with her infamous 'no-knickers' police interrogation scene.
However, she soon found herself typecast, with films such as 'Slivers' and 'The Specialist' mining her erotic reputation, and not much else.
It was not until 1995, and Stone's role in Martin Scorsese's 'Casino', that she began to be recognised for her acting skills alone. She won an Oscar-nomination, as well as a Golden Globe, for the role.
Subsequent outings including the futuristic western 'The Quick and the Dead', the remake 'Diabolique' and 'Last Dance', but all were relative box-office flops.
Whilst gaining an enviable reputation for off-screen glamour and opinionated wit, her screen career was not in great shape. Voicing the animated feature 'Antz' was a good move, but films such as 'The Mighty' and 'Sphere', while warmly received, were further popular failures.
In 1999, she appeared in a remake of 'Gloria', which received the worst reviews of her career, from which she has still to bounce back, despite stronger showings in 'The Muse', and, opposite Jeff Bridges, in 'Simpatico'. ~ Courtesy of SkyMovies.com

MADRID (AP) – Climate activist Greta Thunberg has arrived by train in Madrid, where a global U.N.-sponsored climate change conference is underway.
The Swedish teen is scheduled to join thousands of other young people later on Friday in a march to demand negotiators and politicians take real action in tackling the planet's rising temperatures.
Thunberg, who prefers low-carbon transportation in her trips, traveled overnight from the Portuguese capital, Lisbon, where she arrived earlier this week after sailing across the Atlantic Ocean from the United States by catamaran.

We have been considering several architectural alternatives for a future project we are going to start. The idea is to develop a production management system, which has a scheduling part, to which is going to have a web interface. The debate is: plugin-oriented (free alternatives, of course) vs javascript.
We are not sure about the richness we will need to handle, and how easy would be to integrate it with
I have installed packages to run my own mono server, and develop some quick tests for moonlight http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/
The tests were done with 1.0 and 2.0 versions for 32 bits. First worked fine, but some environments already demanded the latest version that shoud be downloaded from the repository
svn co svn://anonsvn.mono-project.com/source/trunk/moon
Although some simple C# components worked fine, and it would be interesting in the future as an alternative to Flash, its level of maturity, and the doubts on how we could connect the graphical components with a non-mono application, led us to discard Moonlight for the current project.
Besides, the possible use of direct Canvas elements in HTML 5, made us go to Javascript alternatives that seem to have other clear advantages.
So we are testing now Yahoo Library YUI (BSD Licensed) that is looking really good for our purpose of drawing and moving boxes over our ZK Direct RIA architecture.

World's Fastest StrikeOn Sep 20, 2019
World #1 Bowler Jason Belmonte Throws World's Fastest Strike
With a little help from his friends – NASCAR star Aric Almirola, STORM Bowling, and Smithfield, the primary sponsor of the No. 10 Ford Mustang for Stewart-Hass Racing – Jason Belmonte has elevated the sport of bowling to the extreme ….. extreme speed!
The 36-year-old Aussie hatched the plan to throw the world's fastest strike after meeting Almirola last year at the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series. The pair joined forces to compete in the CP3 PBA Celebrity Invitational presented by Go Bowling! and confirmed arrangements to hit the throttle for the world-beating attempt at the famous Charlotte Motor Speedway in North Carolina, USA.

An exploration of hadronic interactions in blazars using IceCube
Context. Hadronic models, involving matter (proton or nuclei) acceleration in blazar jets, imply high energy photon and neutrino emissions due to interactions of high-energy protons with matter and/or radiation in the source environment.
Aims: This paper shows that the sensitivity of the IceCube neutrino telescope in its 40-string configuration (IC-40) is already at the level of constraining the parameter space of purely hadronic scenarios of activity of blazars.
Methods: Assuming that the entire source power originates from hadronic interactions, and assuming that the model describe the data, we estimate the expected neutrino flux from blazars based on the observed γ-ray flux by Fermi, simultaneously with IC-40 observations. We consider two cases separately to keep the number of constrainable parameters at an acceptable level: proton-proton or proton-gamma interactions are dominant. Comparing the IC-40 sensitivity to the neutrino flux expected from some of the brightest blazars, we constrain model parameters characterizing the parent high-energy proton spectrum.
Results: Using together the Fermi photon observations and the IC-40 neutrino sensitivities, we find that when pp interactions dominate, some constraints on the primary proton spectrum can be imposed. For instance, for the tightest constrained source 3C 454.3, the very high energy part of the spectra of blazars is constrained to be harder than E-2 with cut-off energies in the range of Ecut ≥ 1018 eV. When interactions of high-energy protons on soft photon fields dominate, we can find similarly tight constraints on the proton spectrum parameters if the soft photon field is in the UV range or at higher energy, e.g. if it originates from the "big blue bump" produced by the accretion disk. The tightest constraint is for 3C 273, with the cut-off energy constrained to be Ecut ≳ 1018 eV for any spectral index and different soft photon fields, including the radiation from the accretions disk, broad line region or the synchrotron radiation from the jet.
Conclusions: We have adopted a simplified approach using the IC-40 sensitivity (about one half of the full detector) to constrain parameters of blazar hadronic models. Data of the full detector are already available and corresponding constraints should be about a factor of 3 better than what discussed here.

Chapter 688: Angering the Wife
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the same time, Lu Zhengyu, who was far away in country M, found that proposal in his safe.
He flipped through it quickly and combined the first word of each page together.
"Old man, it feels good to make you a fool."
Lu Zhengyu tore up the proposal fiercely, and green veins could be seen on the back of his hand.
"Lu! Zhan! Bei!"
After a long while, Lu Zhengyu had vented most of his emotions after cursing and swearing. He gradually calmed down and started to think about what he should do next.
Lu Zhanbei's mental strategies had surpa.s.sed his imagination. He had to admit that it would definitely be a long and difficult process to defeat this son.
However, he didn't have much time to spend.
Since both the right and wrong tactics couldn't work, he didn't mind playing some side tactics!
After returning to Yun Mansion, Lin Wanwan slapped away Lu Zhanbei's hand forcefully, her face as cold as ice.
"Stay far away from me. I don't want to talk to you, and I don't want to see you!"
"I can explain."
"Then go ahead. I'm listening."
Facing her cold face, Lu Zhanbei opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
Lin Wanwan laughed coldly and wrapped both hands around her chest. "Don't know how to explain? Well, I'll help you. You lied to me, bullied me, pretended to be pitiful, just so that you can take advantage of me! What's more unacceptable is that you caused me to be worried and anxious just so you can fulfill your own selfish interests. How is there such a lousy boyfriend like you in this world?"
Lu Zhanbei looked into her eyes that were spitting fire and realized that things were more serious than he had imagined.
"Lu Zhanbei, I hereby announce, I want to…"
A trace of fear, which even he himself didn't notice, flashed past Lu Zhanbei's eyes. He grabbed her hand.
"I disagree! Don't you dare think of breaking up!"
Lin Wanwan was stunned and flung his hand away in bad temper. "It's too easy on you if we break up. I want to live separately from you!"
Lu Zhanbei heaved a sigh of relief. "You want to move away?"
A ferocious expression slowly appeared on Lin Wanwan's face.
"Lu Zhanbei, from today onward, not only do I want to eat and drink on your account and use your credit cards, I also want to make all sorts of unreasonable requests to you! You can't refuse because you owe me all of these! Get ready to repent!"
After saying this, she turned around and headed upstairs.
Lu Zhanbei felt that the first part of her words was not an issue. However, an unreasonable Lin Wanwan…
He hadn't seen that before.
Inexplicably, a trace of expectation formed in Mr. Lu's heart.
That night, Lu Zhanbei saw for himself how unreasonable Lin Wanwan could be.
"Lu Zhanbei, prepare my bathwater. I want to take a shower."
He did exactly as he was told and meticulously adjusted the water temperature.
Lin Wanwan glanced at Lu Zhanbei, who was still in the bathroom. She didn't chase him away but started to undress.
After removing her shawl, she pulled the zipper at the back with her right hand.
"Help me."
Lu Zhanbei stepped forward and helped her pull it down.
The light-colored long dress started to slide down bit by bit, revealing her snow-white skin. Coupled with her slender legs, the image was very eye-catching.
Lu Zhanbei's s.e.xy Adam's apple moved subconsciously twice when he heard Lin Wanwan order, "Continue."
Lu Zhanbei obediently helped her to unb.u.t.ton her bra.
The bra fell to the ground. Lin Wanwan swept her long hair to the side. When her body was tilted sideways, Lu Zhanbei saw everything…
His breathing was rapid, and he instinctively reached out.
Lin Wanwan turned around and placed a hand across her chest. She stared at him coldly.
"What do you want to do?"
Lu Zhanbei very much wanted to reply, "You."
He could understand it now. Lin Wanwan was trying to kill him.

Selected Dramas and Novelas of Juan Perez de Montalban
Description: The problem with which this investigation is concerned is that of analyzing and evaluating selected dramas and novelas of Juan Perez de Montalban. This study concludes that Montalban was not a writer of original works, but his familiarity with and utilization of certain literary devices, stereotyped situations, cliches, and popular themes, along with his notable talent in portraying women and rulers allowed him to produce works which met with great acclaim in his lifetime.
