The return leg of our driving trip back east for the Coppage-Coppedge 66th Family Reunion began Sunday, August 10th. We said goodbye after breakfast and headed for Thomas Jefferson's home, Monticello, in Charlottesville, Virginia. We took the walking tour with a guide and I found myself being impressed once again by this man who was our third president. Besides the fact that he was the author of our Declaration of Independence, he had an insatiable appetite for learning – always learning. He taught himself seven languages, he was a tireless builder/architect, and he was an inveterate inventor. For example, in his home in Monticello, he designed the home himself so as to take advantage of maximum sunlight. The placement of all the windows was done so that regardless of the time of day, sunlight would come into the home. To enhance this, he created certain wall paints to embellish the lightened effect. He even built a skylight! What intrigued me most was the hidden pulley system he made for a set of doors for the interior of the home. If you pulled on one door, the under-floor pulleys would automatically pull the other door closed (or open) at the same moment. The home was filled with all sorts of gadgetry like that. Overall, the entire place was designed for a farmer, which he was. He would get up each morning when he could read the hands on the clock. Then he would sit at his writing desk and spend the next two-and-a-half hours writing. Every day!
We spent that night in a hotel in Bristol, Virginia which is on the state line of Tennessee. I received a phone call from a friend who drives truck informing me that we were in his neck of the woods. Bob Paris had been driving some long haul stuff out to California and stopped in our church one Sunday, and we've been friends ever since. Just so happened that he lived right near Bristol, so we met for lunch and got caught up. Great to spend time with this Christian brother.
We rolled into Jackson, Tennessee that evening where we were warmly greeted by Robert & Susan Reeves in true Southern Hospitality. We met them three years ago when I officiated at Josh & Amy's wedding in Great Falls, Virginia (Amy is their daughter). When they heard we were going to be driving across country they insisted we come and spend some time at their home. They are such gracious folks, we couldn't say no. They even hooked me up with a friend of theirs named Harbert (not a misspelling) Alexander, who is an historian, particularly on the Civil War, and specifically on battles and engagements of Tennessee units. Since my great grandfather, Rev. Daniel Thatcher Lake, was from Carrol County, Tennessee, Harbert was very interested in helping me find information and records on the family. This will be on-going so I'll update you as we move along. Harbert has written several books, and is the caretaker of the local library in Jackson. He took us in to see a Civil War display that he and others have assembled in the library which will be part of a permanent display.
The Reeves took us to their cabin for a few days by the Tennessee River near Shiloh. What a beautiful setting! The river is spectacular in its own quiet way. We went "noodling," which is a type of fishing new to me. Catfish is the big catch in this part of the country, so there are various ways to catch these fish. Noodling is where you take a length of cylindrical Styrofoam, such as is used in swimming pools, cut a length from about a foot to two feet in length, then you run a line about twenty-five feet through it with a hook and weight at the end and plop that guy right in your favorite spot. The Styrofoam floats, plus it's colorful, so you can see it from a distance. If there's a fish on the line, you'll know it because it has moved away from the string of noodles you've put out. The other day, Robert and I put out 24. We only caught one catfish, but released him back to the river.
Speaking of catfish . . . if you've never been in the south and feasted on catfish and hushpuppies, you have more living to do! Seems like everything in the south is fried, and this classic meal is no exception. So, one evening we went to a local catfish restaurant and gorged ourselves. The hoity-toity of the world would look down their noses at such blue-collar faire, but let me tell you – if you haven't had it, you must try it. Put it on your "bucket list."
We bid our friends farewell yesterday morning, and drove to Corinth, Mississippi where my great grandfather fought with the 9th Texas in the Civil War. He was wounded nearby, ambushed crossing the Hatchie River, possibly at Estanaula Landing. The battles of Shiloh, Tennessee, and Corinth and Iuka, Mississippi were pivotal for the south. In losing these battles, Grant and his army were able to gain direct access to the Mississippi River and thus sail down to Vicksburg, Mississippi where the siege began, and the south was unable to ever gain control again. The south was effectively boxed in and the squeeze began.
Corinth was critical because of the railroad crossing. Losing this crippled the south in moving men and supplies. So Isaura and I stopped to see this small town with its classic old homes, and quaint downtown area. We were told we absolutely must stop and have a Slugburger and milkshake at Borroum's Drug Store. We were intrigued, if not repulsed, by the term Slugburger. Mr. Borroum was a surgeon in the Civil War. At the end of the War in 1865 he opened this pharmacy which his family still runs today. Somewhere in the early nineteen hundreds, meat was a bit scarce, so some enterprising fellows by the name of Weeks added soybeans to some meat and created what became known as the Weeksburger. Because it was only a nickel for the burger back then, it became known as a Slugburger. The slang term for a nickel was a "slug." Aren't you glad it isn't what you thought it was! We each had one (with mustard, pickles and raw onion – standard) and a chocolate shake. The interior of Borroum's is classic Americana – a step back in time.
So today and tomorrow, we are visiting Sulphur Bluff, Texas (a few miles north of Sulphur Springs) where my great grandfather is buried; Marshall, Texas where my father was born; and Lone Oak, Texas where my mother was born.

Managing Corporate Culture and Responsibility in an Era of 'Explosive' Messaging, Part 2
The Forbes list of "Best Recruiting Firms of 2017" is out and Battalia Winston is, once again, prominently featured. So what sets these firms apart and what makes them worthy of this recognition?
All of the recruiting firms named share certain qualities and attributes that make them best in class. Check out their websites and you will find that all claim to have a history of understanding the changing needs and opportunities of their clients and all believe that they best recognize the challenges not only of the client but of the current market. Each firm presents its history of sourcing the "right" candidates to lead a client successfully into the future. All describe themselves as "distinctive" or "differentiated" or best understanding "the science of executive recruiting". All of this must be true or why would they be selected by an organization as distinguished as Forbes?
Larger firms get on this type of list because of volume and market coverage. Smaller, more boutique firms, make the "Best Recruiting Firms" list because of the mutual loyalty shared between the clients and the firm.
So what makes Battalia Winston stand out in the industry and in this crowd?
These elements have contributed to our longevity and success. Notably, 85% of our searches are either a repeat client or one referred by a past or present client. This is a result of developing deep partnerships and long-lasting relationships.
Bruce Walton's article was featured in the Family Firm Institute (FFI) Practitioner on 10/11/2017. It is a case study of a $100m revenue, third generation company CEO succession. When a family company recruits an outside executive, particularly at the COO or CEO level, candidates pay attention to what they might be getting into. Family businesses have a reputation for being idiosyncratic. Best candidates will look for best practices in use both within company governance and within the search process. It helps to be aware of things they will look for.
New York City, New York – September 9, 2017 – Battalia Winston today announced that the leader of their Life Science and Healthcare team, Gilbert Carrara, Jr., MD spoke at the Martin Tuchman School of Management Fall program on Globalization 2020 at UN Headquarters in NYC on September 8th .
From Davos to Wall Street, concern over job losses, trade imbalances, falling wages and environmental impacts has shifted the pro-globalization consensus, with various camps reflecting diverse perspectives as to the real impacts. Are we witnessing a clearer view of the pros and cons of free trade and nebulous borders or is there a fundamental shift in the view of globalization's effects and benefits, from those industry leaders, financial elites, and economists, who were once its most ardent proponents?
Also present at the conference were the Dean and professors from the Tuchman School of Management, executives from the UN Headquarters, Verizon, Toys"R"Us, Prudential and IRI Worldwide.
Dr. Carrara spoke directly to the current state of the global job market and the direction it is most likely going to take in the future with the rapid expansion and globalization of businesses. He gave real life examples of how company executives are selecting executives and organizing their teams using people analytics and provided job market perspective on what executive candidates will need to think about when applying for roles in the future. He also discussed the impact that artificial intelligence and machine language will have on the job market in the near future. Gil works with large and small life science and healthcare companies around the globe and has seen the impact that globalization has made on the careers of current senior executives and will most likely make on our future executives' careers. He concluded by discussing where he felt shortages of talent and global competition will most likely be seen in the future and explained how corporations will need to manage their executives more effectively than in the past in order to retain them.

This is a day or two late, but I wanted to make sure I got in my two cents because we may come back to this one at the end of the year as a Video of the Year nominee. If this isn't in the top 10, it will be a historic year of funny viral videos. Absolutely hilarious and sad at the same time. 4 years of college basketball just came to an end, and Dennis Clifford reflects on the meals he ate with his teammates. Obviously he meant how strong is bond was with his teammates and the camaraderie and brotherhood that develops within a team. But you can't help but laugh with the way this unfolded. Sinking into an emotional state of tears and spitting out "going out to eat" perfectly sums up the state of BC sports. Haven't won a game in forever, maybe even worse than Rutgers. So ya gotta give this kid credit for sticking through that for 4+ years.
As someone who has spent more time than most on the bench, I see where he's coming from. If you would have asked me after my varsity soccer season what my best memory was, my answer would be completely unrelated to any one game or moment on the field, albeit there were only a few. Our team also stunk. The time spent with my teammates was by far and away the best part of that season. Had we been a winning team, we're having an entirely different conversation.
What really amazes me is that the media members were all able to keep their composure and not burst out laughing. It probably would have come off as incredibly insensitive given Clifford's emotional state, but that answer was laugh out loud funny. I would have had to leave the room had I not been kicked out for laughing right in his crying face. I always wonder how people on set of movies don't ruin takes by laughing when comedians are in front of a camera doing ad lib bits or are improvising lines. But thank you Dennis Clifford for this moment. Congrats on winning like two games in four years, but thank you for this.

Alpharetta police said a man turned Ga. 400 into a racetrack by driving more than 100 mph and weaving between cars.
Channel 2 Action News obtained dashcam footage of police chasing and pulling over James Anthony, who was driving a dark gray 2015 Chevy Corvette.
He told police he didn't mean to drive that fast, but he had an excuse.
"It can handle well. I just got it. I have race cars. I'm sorry," Anthony allegedly said to an officer at the scene.

A patrol officer spotted him driving well over the speed limit near Mansell Road, according to the incident report. Anthony faces reckless driving and speeding charges.
"You know how many lives you just endangered weaving in and out of traffic like that. Absolutely ridiculous," an officer can be heard saying on the dashcam video.

The relationship between technology and jobs is center stage in the policy and academic debate. The discussion reveals a fascinating, troubling contradiction. On the one hand, there is widespread fear that innovation will lead to a loss of jobs and rising income inequality — the "race against the machines" narrative. On the other, the slowdown in productivity growth across advanced economies has led some economists to argue that new innovations have no impact on growth.
This debate has paid little attention to what we see as one of the most important waves of innovation. Upskilling technologies, a partnership between humans and smart machines, can augment workers' abilities, resulting in dramatically improved performance, greater safety, and higher worker satisfaction. One of the best examples of this type of partnership is the industrial use of augmented reality (AR) smart glasses in manufacturing, warehousing, and field service environments that overlay computer-generated video, graphic, or text information onto physical objects — for example, step-by-step repair instructions hovering over a machine part, visually guiding a worker through the job. As we'll show, wearable AR devices are now being used in manufacturing and industrial settings and can boost workers' productivity on an array of tasks the first time they're used, even without prior training. These technologies increase productivity by making workers more skilled and efficient, and thus have the potential to yield both more economic growth and better jobs.

Following a Court of Appeal order, the death penalty imposed on a man accused of murder was set aside when it transpired that the judgment had been delivered by a person who was not a judicial officer.
Delivering the order sequel to an appeal filed before the Appeal Court by condemned Prisoner Kathriarachchige Don Jagath Kanil of no. 174 Colombo Road, Piliyandala, the court set-aside the conviction and the death sentence imposed on him in 2004 by the Panadura Provincial High Court Judge Samit de Silva.
The Appeal Court ruled that the Hon. Samit de Silva was not a judicial officer at the time he delivered the judgment. However the Appeal Court directed that a fresh trial be held before the incumbent High Court judge.
The accused in this case, Kathriarachchige Don Jagath Kanil, had been indicted by the Attorney General with committing the murder of his wife Sawarnalatha Podimaneke of Piliyandala. The case was tried before Panadura Provincial High Court Judge Samit de Silva in 2004 and, after a lengthy trial, the accused had been found guilty of murder; and the judge had sentenced him to death. The accused had been taken to Welikada prison and while in the prison he had filed an appeal before the Appeal Court. The appeal was heard by the Appeal Court bench comprising Justices W.L.R. Silva and Upaly Abeyrathne who delivered judgment on August 27.
The judgment had been forwarded to the Panadura Provincial High Court Judge Malani Gunaratne to pronounce it before the accused when he was produced by the prison officials before court.
The accused appellant was produced before the court and the judge delivered the judgment of the Appeal Court. According to the judgment, the original judgment against the accused had been delivered by a person who was not a judicial officer at the time of delivering the judgment and, accordingly, the conviction and the death sentence passed on the accused was set-aside.
The Court of Appeal had stated, 'Accordingly since the judgment has been delivered by a person who was not a judicial officer at the time of delivering the judgment we set aside the judgment and the conviction and the death sentence.

So today I nearly choked, as suddenly coffecatarts.com wasn't working anymore and it told me there was a database error. I panicked there for a moment.
Anyway, I found that I want to do streams on YouTube every Tuesday if possible and put these into small videos. I thought I'd share the one from two weeks (?) ago, since it turned out quit nicely.
The stream was quite long, almost two hours, but it was mostly adding details to the girl and to the background. I hope I can upload more soon.
Still not quite sure about how I should notify everyone….

3 Edward Snowden leaks: NSA amnesty 'considered'
The US National Security Agency is considering offering an amnesty to fugitive US intelligence analyst Edward Snowden if he agrees to stop leaking secret documents, an NSA official says.
The man in charge of assessing the leaks' damage, Richard Ledgett, said he could be open to an amnesty deal.
Disclosures by the fugitive intelligence analyst have revealed the extent of the NSA's spying activity.
But NSA Director Gen Keith Alexander has dismissed the idea.
Mr Ledgett spoke to US television channel CBS about the possibility of an amnesty deal: "So my personal view is, yes it's worth having a conversation about.
"I would need assurances that the remainder of the data could be secured, and my bar for those assurances would be very high, would be more than just an assertion on his part."
But Gen Alexander, who is retiring early next year, rejected the idea of any amnesty for Mr Snowden.
"This is analogous to a hostage taker taking 50 people hostage, shooting 10, and then say, 'if you give me full amnesty, I'll let the other 40 go'. What do you do?"
The NSA is trying to be more open about what the agency does with the data it collectsIn an earlier interview with the Reuters news agency, Mr Ledgett said he was deeply worried about highly classified documents not yet public that are among the 1.7 million Mr Snowden is believed to have accessed.
Edward Snowden's disclosures have been "cataclysmic" for the agency, Mr Ledgett told Reuters.
only 1% of files leaked by Mr Snowden had been published by the newspaper.
The state department says its position has not changed and that Mr Snowden must return to the US to face charges, says the BBC's Suzanne Kianpour.
The US has charged Mr Snowden with theft of government property, unauthorised communication of national defence information and wilful communication of classified communications intelligence.
Each of the charges carries a maximum 10-year prison sentence.
At the weekend, the NSA allowed a CBS television crew into their headquarters for the first time in its history, in an effort to be more open about what the agency does with the data it collects.

Nice town. Charming. Welcoming people. Nice panoramas. Porto caves to visit (did the one of Calem, which was satisfactory).
Small.But got lots of things to see. Beautiful, relaxing. The food and the night life is very good!!!
Very nice old town, is good to walk around to explore small streets, Very interesting...food cost are low compare to other European cities.
.. Good value to travel there!
Great town with really nice wine cellars (Port wine!!!!!). Just remember, go to the ones with Portuguese name.
We went to Ferreira. For 5 euros you get a nice guided tour and 2 wines to taste - great wines! Really nice people, just don't SPEAK SPANISH!!! they get really upset about it. Try some Portuguese words, the people get really happy about it. Btw, most of them speak a little bit English. Don't expect the best English, but it works for communication.
Porto is one of the prettiest cities when the sun is up. The kind of run down and colorful houses along the Douro river just make the perfect picture.
You can just enjoy the area for a very long time.
how can i write a bad review from my hometown :) Porto is an world heritage city with mediavel strets.
you can see everywhere the longest merchant past history of the city
Porto is slight under presented as a tourist spot but it has lots to offer. The best thing about this city is its view and wine cellars.
There are also numerous restaurants that serve good and authentic Portugese cuisine at an affordable price.
Porto is a wonderful city. The river area and the view of the city built up on the hills around the river is absolutely beautiful.
The people are friendly, the food is delicious, the city is beautiful, and the Port wine is great. It is easy to walk around to most sights, as long as you don't mind some hills! My husband and I really enjoyed our time here and would like to go back some day.
The weather in early September was wonderful. We probably enjoyed the river front and the sea front areas the most though the trip up the Douro was also wonderful - we took the train both ways and were not disappointed.
Dining is well priced and we enjoyed trying some local dishes and wines. Great atmosphere and getting around on the 48 hour hop on/ hop off buses saved a lot of walking (Porto is hilly) and money.
Lovely city, a lot of culture and history combined with good, cheap drinks and foods served by friendly locals.
Porto was amazing - looks very historical. All tourist attractions were within walking distance and we managed to stumble upon a quiet hilltop with an amazing view of the city.
The view by the river where Port Calem is is fabulous too. A nice place to sit in a cafe by the river to relax!
I was amazed how wonderful this city was, having travelled a lot . The people were so friendly. We went on the tour bus, on the river and then the cable car.
The bars and restaurants were great and so inexpensive. Scenery was a lot to take in. A visit to Majestic for lunch is well worth it.
You can visit a popular old bookshop in Porto. The staircase is very special but you are not allowed to take photos there.
Don't make an attempt or else you may be shouted by the staff. The coffee shop - Majestic Cafe is located at a popular location. The decorations are fantastic and the food is not really expensive. It's good to have a try.
Nice little town. Can get around easily using metro. People are friendly but majority don't speak English.

With filming fully underway, we should soon be seeing actor Josh Brolin in full Cable make-up. For now though, the actor continues to tease his look in the film with a new Instagram photo showing himself in the make-up chair with a partial face mold.
In the comic, that side of the character's face is scarred and boasts a cybernetic eye. Since his announcement, Brolin has been steadfastly documenting his preparation from gruelling workouts to buzzcuts to amusingly trolling Ryan Reynolds.
"Deadpool 2" began shooting on Tuesday in Vancouver ahead of a June 1st 2018 release.

With Greece's exit from the eurozone looking increasingly likely, financial experts around the world are speculating about the effect this will have on the global economy. Some say that the contagion could spread to Spain and Italy, banks that have lent money to Greece could suffer catastrophic losses, and the entire European monetary project could crumble.
Such an outcome would undoubtedly have massive technological implications for banks, as well as any companies that carry out payment transactions. The Financial Services Authority (FSA) has requested that banks make contingency plans towards the dismantling of the euro, and many financial institutions have already put operational strategies in place for dealing with any changes.
So what impact would Greece's departure from the euro have on the technological infrastructure that runs our payment systems, and what can banks do to avoid a financial meltdown?
Single Euro Payments Area
One key issue is that payments between European Union member states are currently treated as domestic, thanks to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA) – an initiative that allows cashless euro payments to be made to anyone located anywhere in the EU using a single bank account and a single set of payment instruments.
The aim of the initiative is to bolster the common currency by improving the efficiency of cross-border payments, and the industry has invested a great deal of money in developing a set of harmonised payment schemes and frameworks for electronic euro payments.
If one or more countries pulls out of the eurozone, banks will have to reprogram their systems to treat those countries' payments as non-domestic, and hence reapply fees and business rules for international payments, according to Rachel Hunt, head of IDC Financial Insights for EMEA.
However, some countries have already removed their legacy domestic payment systems, while others have yet to fully migrate domestic payment legacy infrastructures to SEPA platforms, making the situation extremely complex.
"The risk is confusion, outages and lack of transparency as all this recoding takes place," said Hunt. "Obviously the gains from payments system consolidation will be removed, creating more fragmentation."
Although Greece's exit from the euro would be disruptive, it would not be disastrous. Most banks also already operate multi-currency systems, so Greece could revert to the drachma and the rest of the eurozone would continue to use the SEPA payments infrastructure.
If Spain and Italy were also forced out, however, the euro itself could start to fissure, and countries might start turning away from SEPA altogether. The banks would then be faced with the prospect of millions of euros worth of investment going down the drain.
Chris Skinner, chief executive of The Financial Services Club, said that organisations could end up adapting their pan-European payment infrastructures to handle multiple currencies, rather than going back to the fragmented system they had before.
He said that many companies have now moved to cloud services and reinvigorated their payment systems to make them fit-for-purpose, regardless of gearing up for the introduction of SEPA and the euro, so even if the euro disappears they will still be fit-for-purpose.
"The bankers say that, even if the eurozone falls apart, SEPA is still going to be used because it is just going to be an efficient infrastructure that can be used within the EU, whether the euro exists or not. It's created a regional capability," said Skinner.
However, he admitted that this was a philosophical way of viewing the situation, and that in reality "we'd all be really pissed off because we wasted so much in creating it".
Stress testing and contingency planning
Of course, introducing a new currency into the global economy cannot be done overnight. There are a number of different scenarios that could result from a country departing the euro, and banks have to stress-test their payments systems well in advance, to ensure they are prepared for all eventualities.
According to Andy Hirst, senior director of industry marketing for SAP, this is not a simple task because banks do not know what the write-down on an asset will be. Banks often end up hoarding capital – which keeps the regulator happy because it allows them to have more liquidity, but also allows them to be more flexible if disaster strikes.
For example, Santander UK said last week that it has been prevented from transferring any cash back to its Spanish parent company since December, under a voluntary agreement with the Financial Services Authority. Santander is now hoarding assets in the UK market to give a cushion against any contagion effect that may happen in Spain.
"Just thinking about Greece is not the plan. They have had to think through a number of different scenarios," said Hirst. "What if the value of our assets in Spain have to be written down by another 10 or 20 percent? What impact will that have on the UK economy? Unemployment may go up, for instance, and the ability to grow may be downrated."
Companies may start looking to move cash reserves outside of the eurozone, which will put extra strain on back office systems, according to Hunt, increasing the risk of outages. Bank defaults would also exacerbate the issue of stress on systems.
Hirst said that being able to model these various scenarios is an essential component of banks' contingency planning, and that many of SAP's clients have been investing in risk management systems that use in-memory computing to provide real-time access to information, in order to monitor their liquidity and level of exposure on a daily basis.
"Banks have always held this information in their systems, so it's just a case of putting it in systems that gives them real-time access," he said. "If you look back to the Lehman days, people didn't know for a week, 10 days, sometimes three weeks what exactly their exposure was when they netted it all off."
Just as important as having fast access to this information is the ability to interpret it easily. Another area that banks have been investing in is consumer-style visualisation and mapping technologies, that allow banks to see where the biggest exposures are and where they need to move money or capital around.
This means that, when the regulator demands to know a bank's exposure, based on a certain set of scenarios, the bank can demonstrate that it is on top of the problem and that it has access to the information it needs to answer the query.
"If you were a bank in the UK now, you would want to make sure you have a very good buffer – more than you had in the Northern Rock scenario – because many banks came within a whisker of being in real insolvency," said Hirst.
"They've built their own buffers, they've built more liquid assets, they've learnt some of those lessons, but you need to know what that is on a daily basis, because things move very quickly."
Payment systems
It is not just high value investment banking trades that could be affected by the disintegration of the eurozone, but also smaller financial institutions and retail payment systems. Gartner analyst Alistair Newton said that the lack of liquidity as a result of Greece's exit from the euro could create blockages across multiple banks.
He explained that if one bank is worried that another bank is about to go bust or has doubts about its credibility, it will hold off paying money until it absolutely has to. This can result in intra-day liquidity issues between those banks involved.
In the case of Lehman Brothers, whose bankruptcy played a major role in the unfolding of the global financial crisis, this was restricted to a limited number of banks. However, a Greek failure would be on a much larger scale, and the blockages created could filter down into the core retail payments systems.
"Every time I go and use an ATM from RBS (Royal Bank of Scotland), they give me money on the premise that my bank, which may be Lloyds, is going to settle with them at the end of the day. If RBS thinks Lloyds is a bad risk, they may shut down my access to the ATM network straight away," said Newton.
"Equally at a point of sale (POS) terminal, they are taking a risk on the basis of my issuing banks, so even those retail systems start to grind to a halt."
RBS is one step removed from Greece, but it is still exposed because it is exposed to banks that are exposed, added Newton. "This is the whole network effect that, on one hand is the strength of the banking business, but on the other hand can be its Achilles heel."
To some extent this is scaremongering, because there are checks and balances within the European Central Bank, and also within the banks themselves, to ensure that a systematic failure further up the pipeline would not block up all the retail payment systems.
However, any disruption to a single point in the supply chain could cause the entire system to freeze up, meaning that the money would never gets down the bottom, and the goods would never get up to the top, resulting in total paralysis.
Newton said that, one long-term fix would be to increase transparency along the supply chain. One individual bank might potentially be banker to several parts of that supply chain, and as such they would have greater insight into the supply of funds. However, this is not likely to happen any time soon, as there are a lot of contractual issues and technological issues involved.
"As a bank technologist, probably the biggest threat you have in the short to medium term is if a supplier of some sort is caught up in this paralysis themselves. You may have outsourced your processing to a country or a vendor in a particular country that is more significantly impacted than your country," said Newton.
"Equally if you're a technology provider within a large banking group, you may have centres of excellence distributed across multiple countries in Europe, so what was once a level playing field now has an awful lot of bumps in it, and your own supply chain may be significantly impacted."
Newton added that IT directors in banks should be examining the weak spots in their environments and opening up lines of communication with outsource vendors, because being able to get hold of the right person at the right time is vital.
"There's the overarching financial issue of will the banks survive, but at the more prosaic technology level, you're probably looking at something around your outsourcing agreements, around your shared service or centres of excellence strategy, or it could just be around a particular technology vendor or application designer," he said.
The resounding message from experts is that the collapse of the eurozone would not cause a technological crisis. Most banks have been preparing for such an eventuality for more than 18 months, and have contingency plans in place.
That is not to say that IT directors should be sitting back and waiting for "eurogedden" to hit. Now more than ever, they should be keeping a watchful eye on the state of their own liquidity and exposure, and continuing to test as many possible 'what-if' scenarios as possible.
Regardless of how well-prepared organisations are, a Greek exit will bring huge confusion to market, and there is always potential for other unforeseen events to unfold. By staying alert, flexible and building up their liquid assets, banks will be in the best position possible to avoid insolvency.

Dynamical energy analysis was recently introduced as a new method for determining the distribution of mechanical and acoustic wave energy in complex built up structures. The technique interpolates between standard statistical energy analysis and full ray tracing, containing both of these methods as limiting cases. As such the applicability of the method is wide ranging and additionally includes the numerical modelling of problems in optics and more generally of linear wave problems in electromagnetics. In this work we consider a new approach to the method with enhanced versatility, enabling three-dimensional problems to be handled in a straightforward manner. The main challenge is the high dimensionality of the problem: we determine the wave energy density both as a function of the spatial coordinate and momentum (or direction) space. The momentum variables are expressed in separable (polar) coordinates facilitating the use of products of univariate basis expansions. However this is not the case for the spatial argument and so we propose to make use of automated mesh generating routines to both localise the approximation, allowing quadrature costs to be kept moderate, and give versatility in the code for different geometric configurations.

I have delayed this subject for a post, not knowing how to approach it at the right time. Turns out there is no right time to discuss assessing the quality of life of your elderly or terminally ill pet. But, I am so often asked how to make this decision by clients and friends, that I thought it was time to share some thoughts and resources that might help guide you or someone you know facing this impossibly difficult decision. So Wendy this is for you, and countless others who haven't contacted me, but are also wondering when is when. I hope this helps.
I will say first that many people feel strongly about letting their pets pass naturally, without veterinary intervention. This blog is not for them. I perform humane euthanasias when the client and I determine that the decision is to spare the patient of inevitable pain and suffering. The suffering may be psychological, as well as physical. I always ask how someone would feel if they had woken up one day and found that their dog or cat had passed during the night. If a pet has been struggling with a chronic illness, this can be a painful progression. Sometimes the answer to this question is that they would be relieved, but more often, they feel that they had waited too long. It is that type of situation we try to avoid, and an objective referral checklist can help guide you.
Questions to ask yourself:
Would I consider euthanasia if the following were true about my pet:
Feeling pain?
Can no longer urinate and/or defecate on their own?
Starts to experience seizures?
Has become uncontrollably violent or is unsafe to others?
Has stopped eating?
Is no longer acting normally?
Has a condition that will only worsen with time?
Financial limitations prohibit treatment?
Palliative (hospice) care has been exhausted or is not an option?
Remember how your pet looked and behaved prior to the illness. Sometimes changes are gradual, and therefore hard to recognize. Look at photos or videos from before the illness. Mark good and bad days on a calendar. If the bad days outweigh the good, it may be time to consider euthanasia. Write a concrete list of 3-5 things your pet likes to do. When no longer able to enjoy these things, also consider the option of euthanasia.
The following chart attempts to consider all aspects of your pet's life. All pets are different, so it is not a one size fits all representation, but more an attempt to quantitate quality of life. Higher numbers on this chart equal a better quality. One item , such as pain, may indicate a poor quality of life, even if many of the other items are still positive.
Assign a number from 1 through 5 to answer each question:
1 = Strongly agree (All the time/severe)
2 = Agree (Most of the time/significant)
3 = Neutral (Sometimes/mild)
4 = Disagree (Occasionally/slight)
5 = Strongly Disagree (Never/None)
Questions: My Pet…
Does not want to play
Does not respond to my presence or does not interact with me in the same way as before
Does not enjoy the same activities as before
Is hiding
Demeanor/behavior is not the same as it was prior to diagnosis/illness
Does not seem to enjoy life
Has more bad days than good days
Is sleeping more than usual
Seems dull and depressed
Seems to be in, or is experiencing pain
Is panting (even while resting)
Is trembling or shaking
Is vomiting and/or seems nauseous
Is not eating well- (may only be eating treats or only if fed by hand)
Is not drinking well
Is losing weight
Is having diarrhea often
Is not moving normally
Is not urinating well
Is not as active as normal
Does not move around as needed
Needs my help to move around normally
Is unable to keep self clean after soiling
Has coat that is greasy, matted, or rough-looking
How is my pet's overall health compared to the initial diagnosis/illness?
Total the number of answers in the 1 or 2 column. Also, you know your pet better than anyone. Your intuition, combined with a calculation such as this, and with the advice of a trusted veterinarian, should help you make a decision you are comfortable with. Hopefully you are not in need of this information anytime soon, and can refer to it at a much later date. If you need it now, I hope it helps.

Here's a photo homage to some friends lost this year who will be missed.

Bishop: "I'm afraid you've got a bad egg, Mr Jones"; Curate: "Oh, no, my Lord, I assure you that parts of it are excellent!" "True Humility" by George du Maurier, originally published in Punch, 9 November 1895.
And that is what we had here, a curate's egg of a game. Some good, some bad. A great first half, but then we let them back in the game. Some outstanding attacking, some less than stellar defending. In the end it was all getting a bit close, Harlequins on 32 and Sale on 26, but Sale scoring regularly... At least it made great theatre if not great rugby.
Back in January we beat Sale by 3 points, 5 of the last 7 meetings were decided by 4 points or fewer. So how close was this game going to be? At kick off, excellent decision by Charlie Matthews to play a ball that might or might not have come down short of the 10-metre line. Danny Care then gave a warning of what was to come with a sweet kick forward to Marchant, completely negating the 14 men Sale had strung out across the pitch. Ended with Marchant trying an over optimistic grubber kick to Robshaw which went out.
Harlequins continued to maintain pressure and territory, however. Clifford carried the ball beautifully into the Yellow peril, making a big dent and gaining valuable yards. A high tackle on Yarde nearly yielded something good, but Visser using the advantage had a toe in touch. After some good work moving forward inches at a time, Smith passed to Aaron Morris who tried to flick it on to Robshaw on the wing (Robshaw on the wing?) but passed to Solomana, and hearts were in our mouths till Matthew Carley called them back for a previous offence. Whew!
So 5 minutes gone, Sale's scrum about 10m out. They kicked but Harlequins back in their faces. A bit of a ding dong battle. A "Hail Mary" kick by Sale nearly resulted in a Danny Care intercept. I said to the folk around me at the time that if Sale kept doing things like that we'd eventually take advantage. A scrum to us, Marler caused a collapse (penalty) and Danny Care nearly got away with a sniping run. 3rd time in the Sale 22 for Quins after the penalty kick/line out. Harrison throws a loose pass back and Robshaw pounces while everyone else stares at the ball - his reactions are so good! Care picks the ball out, sees Visser waving from the side-line and produces an inch perfect kick with the outside of his boot for Visser to catch and with no one actually in front of him Visser gallops over. Great play between Danny and Tim, but Chris Robshaw made that try! About as far to the touchline as possible , surely Marcus Smith couldn't sink this one? Silly me, he puts it perfectly between the posts! Thirteen minutes gone and we're 7-0 up, who'd a thought?
After a bit of aerial tennis, Dave Ward (who else) steals the ball in a ruck. Faf de Clerk (great name) and Danny Care compare hair styles or hand bags or something but it's a penalty to Harlequins. Harlequins move up field bit by bit. However, Sale are not committing numbers to the breakdown. They're trying to keep their fourteen men spread across the field approach. Harlequins are finding it hard to break through. After a Sale scrum Solomona eludes Visser, kicks the ball forward. Aaron Morris thinks it will go out on the full and is jogging back. Fortunately, it does go out before Solomona gets there.
From a Harlequins scrum the ball gets to Visser, the ball goes right then left with Harlequins making ground all the time. Eventually the ball goes to Marler standing on the Sale 5m line. Two defenders oppose him but he charges over under the posts. That's his 6th Premiership try in 110 matches, first try in a year! Straightforward kick for Marcus - 21 minutes gone and it's 14-0. Amazing! After the tonking Sale gave Gloucester last week, I was really concerned this would be another mud wrestle!
After some mid pitch exchanges after the restart, Matthews performs a brilliant intercept from MacGinty just on the half way line. Smith gets the ball and produces a peach of a kick into the Sale 22. I swear, this kid is better kicking the ball out of hand than Nev was in his last few seasons. He kicks further and he kicks more accurately. As the ball goes down the Sale line, Sam James goes to clear the ball with a kick but Marchant intercepts, has the wit to keep running to collect the ball and touches it down for a try. Of course Smith converts it, Harlequins 21 Sale 0 and 25 minutes gone. Surely we won't screw it up from here?
As Ward is tackled on halfway, he tries the world's most unlikely kick to touch, which doesn't come off. Sale are really getting into the referee's ear at this point, in fact there seems to be a queue waiting to talk to him. I thought he could have handled this better either by marching the team back 10m or at least telling the captain he wasn't going to put up with it.
Anyway, eventually Sale make their way down to the Harlequins 22. Doesn't look like there's any danger. Mike Hayley dashes between Robshaw and Merrick, they both miss him. Care misses him, Dave Ward misses him, Marchant grabs him but he's too near the try line and it's 7 points to Sale. Typical Harlequins! 30 minutes gone and we're giving them hope instead of shutting them out! Stay switched on Harlequins!
After the restart Matthew Carley completely misses a high tackle 13,500+ Harlequins fans see clear as day - fortunately he has a TMO to act as his seeing eye dog. In fact, there was another one on Clifford by Solomona after the first. Sale get a telling off! Harlequins get to 4m out from the Sale try line. A dozen phases from Harlequins, the best to date, but no sign of any actual penetration. Clifford is down. Then he's getting oxygen. This falls in the "not good" category. Archie White comes on and Clifford goes off to sustained applause. A few moments later a penalty to Harlequins (beautiful link up between Care and Visser) so 24-7, 2 minutes to go. Will Collier comes off.
As a final act of the first half, wonderful work between Smith and Yarde resulting in Yarde getting over the try line. Carley was convinced the ball was held up and didn't need the TMO - I'm not so sure. Would have liked to see a few angles on that. Smith strikes his head for what? I saw nothing wrong. Anyway, following a scrum penalty at the 42-minute mark, Harlequins decide to take the kick at the posts and so half time is 27-7. Of course a 20 point buffer will be more than enough, Sale are no way going to get a bonus point tonight.
After the restart, but for a forward pass, Harlequins had another try. Sale playing with a bit more purpose and direction in the second half.
Much more balanced now, so less to report really. There's an amusing moment where Sale complain the ref isn't telling them the numbers at the line out. Carley replies that he can count to five, he assumes they can count to five and therefore no further help is needed! I am warming to him as a referee!
Beautiful intercept by Charlie Matthews. He sets off down the pitch like a giraffe galloping over the plains of the Serengeti pursued by a pack of hyenas! Ends with Harlequins back in the Sale 22. Eventually Care gets the ball, puts the grubber kick in behind the Sale line, there's no sweeper, Visser charges for it, gets it and touches down. Smith misses for once. It's 32-7, nothing for Harlequins to worry about, surely? We've secured the bonus point and Sale are nowhere in sight!
Couple of scrum penalties later and I'm starting to wonder. 54 minutes and Sale are on the 5m line. Penalty for Quins going in early on the lineout. Eventually a try scored by Halani 'Aulika as Sale drive over. 32-12. Not surprised we couldn't stop him, you'd need a JCB at least! Sale have 12 points, no worries, surely?
Harlequins eventually get a penalty at the 60 minute mark. 35-12. Just before 65 minutes Danny Care throws a miss pass over Smith. Intercept! Sam James races in from not quite half way, they kick the conversion. That's 3 tries to Sale. So a possible two bonus points on the horizon for Sale. Roberts goes off for Alofa Alofa. (Roberts was wearing limited edition breast cancer awareness pink boots in case you thought he had some sort of wardrobe malfunction)
Visser and McGuigan tussle on the touch line. Can't see what started it. An effective maul from Harlequins results in a penalty to Harlequins for side entry. Can hear the ref saying to Sale "They're not doing it at any different speed to what you guys are doing it" - so that puts that complaint back in the box. Harlequins get into a nice position 15 yards out, then give it away with a penalty for holding on. Lambert comes on for Marler.
O'Connor gets the ball through to Harlequins 5m line. Ostrakov so nearly scores but loses control at the last moment and drops the ball. The ref then says to Jonno Ross "Right listen! You've asked me once, if not ten times, and I've given you a quite simple answer. For me he clearly drops the ball, I give a knock on. The TMO has looked at it, he's just told me that he believes it's a knock on as well. So I don't know what we're going to check for. Can you please stop? It's a scrum to Quins!". Go Matthew Carley!
On the Harlequins 5m line, Swainston and Lambert give away a scrum penalty. Swiel comes on for Alofa. Another penalty for collapsing the scrum. Another scrum, another penalty. Another penalty against Quins but Carley is playing the advantage. Ball against the base of the posts. Carley asks "Any reason not to award try" and there isn't. Bonus Point to Sale from Ross Harrison. Sale were 32-7 down, now 35-26. Squeaky bum time!
After restart Faf de Clerk kicks it down field. Fielded by Swiel. First McGuigan throws a foot out to trip him, then dives on him for a high tackle. From the resulting penalty Marcus Smith dinks it over the top of the Sale line, Morris gathers and looks like he's through but is just tap tackled about 15m out from the posts. Ball goes wide, Smith to Yarde. Yarde evades the tackle, runs round a defender or two and is over the line and under the posts. Smith converts and it's 42-26 and Good Night Vienna with 5 minutes to go! Robshaw leaves the field letting the others shut up shop. Danny Care gets man of the match.
Ball comes wide to McGuigan. Swiel grabs his shirt and pulls him over the touch line. McGuigan gets up and pushes Swiel over, falling on top of him. The rest of the world piles in. The ref is telling people to stop trying to separate the opposition players but take their own players away. Joe Marler is pictured laughing, presumably because he's not likely to get a yellow from this since he's not on the pitch. Carley says Swiel had McGuigan on the ground with forearm to the throat, McGuigan's reaction was disproportionate so yellow cards the both of them. Ugo commentating says that's wrong, McGuigan started it. But a minute to go, who cares?
Game over. A bonus point win for Harlequins, a bonus point loss for Sale.
After the game John Kingston said "The last two weeks to get just one point from the performances against Leicester and Northampton, I felt in the context of what we were facing, was not fair. But fair doesn't come into it, and I was very pleased for the players to get five points tonight. To come out and get the result and play as well as we did was really pleasing. It looks like Jack has a dislocated shoulder which is frustrating for him. Last week we had a training session under lights and had five players in question, two missed out and three got in. It's disappointing because he played ever so well when he was on the pitch."
Get well soon Clifford and Collier (and everyone else injured!).

Supreme Court heard cases despite JUSSAG strike
Work resumed on Tuesday at the Supreme Court, despite the strike by the Judicial Service Staff Association (JUSSAG).
Justices of the court sat and heard two different cases, which included one of the suits Justice Paul Dery brought against investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
The hearings had two JUSSAG members at post even though their association had been on an indefinite strike.
Reports indicated that the two were ordered by the management of the court to return to work.
JUSSAG embarked on an industrial strike last week over what they said was government's failure to implement the consolidation of salaries and allowances for its members after over a year of forwarding its request to government.
But, the National Labour Commission (NLC) has described the strike as illegal.
Speaking to Citi News, the newly appointed Executive Secretary of NLC, Lawyer Charles Adongo Bawa Duah, said the strike was illegal because JUSSAG failed to give the NLC prior notice before embarking on the strike.
"The Commission came to the conclusion that the intended strike was illegal and must not take place…by the provisions of the Labour Act, any organisation, worker or union who intends to embark on a strike must notify the Labour Commission not later than seven days before the strike," he stated.

For me and about 70 other IGAD-students, the time has come to start panicking , unless you're a programmer. Apparently, they can take things easy. Ratbastards.
I have just done about 3 days work in one night. I'm feeling pretty tired, just like most of my classmates, I imagine.
Should you be wondering what we've been up to at IGAD, I'll post a screenshot of the completed project later this week.
for now, I have some more work to do.

Singapore Day 4
By: William Woska, MBA Candidate 2018
On the final day in Singapore, students headed to Lumenlab, an innovation center under the umbrella of MetLife Inc. The subsidiary seeks to develop new business opportunities in health, wealth, and retirement. Upon arrival, students were greeted by Lee Ng, Vice President and Chief Operating Officer for Lumenlab. Ms. Ng also leads the Innovation Management Office which has the sole responsibility of launching new business models and capabilities for MetLife Asia. During her presentation, Ms. Ng touched on several issues, but one in particular seemed to catch every student's attention. Much of the developed world including the U.S., Japan, and the European Union have rapidly aging populations. Not only are people living longer overall, but the generation retiring now, endearingly referred to as baby-boomers, is the largest population bloc in the history of mankind. Add to this the fact that reproductive rates in the developed world continue to decline and we can expect that the eldest among us will have a more meaningful impact on economics and development than those in previous generations.
Later in the day two groups of students headed off to present to their respective clients. The first client, The New Savvy, is a financial, investing, and career platform focusing on women in Asia. Students working for this client were tasked with creating a business plan for a gender certification program with the end goal to have a methodology for measuring pay gaps, hiring practices, and inclusive business cultures at companies in southeast Asia, specifically in Singapore. Another group worked with ClubCo who puts a unique spin on flexible work space. Membership includes all of the amenities expected from collaborative workspaces such as open floor plans, high speed internet, and membership discounts. ClubCo however offers members the ability to redeem membership fees for services such as food, beverage, and office services. This unique value proposition means that members do not directly pay rent in the traditional sense. ClubCo asked the student group to look at new areas in which the company can expand. The team provided a business plan on how to grow the co-working strategy in Singapore and beyond.

Nova's Story
Nova came from a reserve were she frequented the convenience store for scraps. The store owners felt she was in dire need of help. When we picked her up, she was nothing but skin and bones. You could see every curve in her spine, hips and ribs. She was frail but very co-operative. When we put her in the car, she seemed almost relieved. Never did she growl or bark. She was extremely gentle and loving. The truly sad part of Nova's story is that it was obvious she had recently had puppies. The vet seemed to think the puppies were weaned already but we will never know their fate. Nova would have most certainly died of starvation if she had been left by herself any longer.
Nova has been adopted.
Nova has been adopted.

Justin Timberlake and Ben Affleck starring in the gambling movie
Hollywood is ready to set the new movie project about gambling. Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake will star in the new movie about online gambling called "Runner, Runner".
"Runner, Runner" is a thriller drama revolving around online gaming and intense relationships between the businessmen. Runner-runner is a poker term referring to the good hand drawn on Turn or River bet. The film will be directed by Bard Furman famous for his "Lincoln Lawyer" thriller.
The scriptwriters David Levien and Brian Koppelman have the experience of writing gambling stories. They have written a script for "Rounders" (the film about genius poker player) with Matt Damon (by the way, a good poker player in a real life).
Ben Affleck and Justin Timberlake are not the only Hollywood stars in the film. We will see the work of Leonardo DiСaprio, but only in the producer chair.
It seems like online gambling is a hot topic in the USA nowadays. The star team will start working in Puerto-Rico in June.
If you want know more about online gambling (only legal!) read the best Russian online casino reviews at our site.
