Importance of Feature Engineering in Machine learning and Deep learning
Real-world data is often not separable. This is a big problem that needs to be addressed. So, linear models like Logistic Regression, Support Vector Machine Classifiers and Linear Regression fail to achieve the required objective. Sometimes, even complex models like Random Forest, XGBoost Classifiers, Neural Networks doesn't produce effective results, when the data is not separable.
Is there a way to transform our data, so that they are partly or fully separable?
The answer is YES, with the help of Feature Engineering.
Feature Engineering
"Feature engineering is the process of transforming raw data into features that better represent the underlying problem to the predictive models, resulting in improved model accuracy on unseen data."
— Dr. Jason Brownlee
In simpler terms, Feature Engineering is the process of creating(or transforming)new features from the existed ones, so as to make Machine learning/Deep learning models work better.
"At the end of the day, some machine learning projects succeed and some fail. What makes the difference? Easily the most important factor is the features used."
— Prof. Pedro Domingos
This means that the features used are mainly responsible for the end results.
Feature Engineering with Toy Example
Let's say we have the data with two features and a target class with two labels, 0 being Negative and 1 being Positive class.
Goal: Classification Task — To build a plane(line) that separates positive and negative classes.
Now the question is, Can we build a plane(line) that clearly separates these two classes, effectively?
Unfortunately, No.
Building a plane(Logistic Regression) is a difficult task on this data, because it is difficult to draw a line that completely separates positive and negative class.
Is there any alternative? Can we transform the data to make this task easier to do? Can we apply any transformation(any mathematical) so that they can be separated? Think about it!
Now, here comes the art of feature engineering. If you look at the data, we can see that the Negative class points are closer to each other whereas Positive class points are far from these Negative class points.
What if we square these two features?
Let's see how they look if they are squared.
By squaring the features(with themselves), the larger values of Feature 1 and Feature 2 gave much larger values and smaller values gave much smaller values.
The below table shows the values before and after transformation.
| feat_1 | feat_2 | feat_1sq | feat_2sq |
| -0.814954 | 4.933138 | 0.66415 | 24.33585 |
| 1.418311 | -4.794621 | 2.011606 | 22.988394 |
| 3.234597 | 3.812792 | 10.462615 | 14.537385 |
| 4.984155 | -0.397743 | 24.841801 | 0.158199 |
Hence, they can be clearly separated by just squaring the original data and thus we can draw a line in between them that clearly separates these two classes using Logistic Regression.
That's the Art and Essence of Feature Engineering that I would like you to know about.
NOTE: How to know these transforms? When to apply a particular transform?
Answer: This comes only with Domain Knowledge/Domain Expertise .
Some sources for Domain Knowledge: Blogs, recent research papers, Kaggle Kernels for corresponding domains.
Let us build two Logistic Regression Classifiers with 'C' being the Hyper-parameter and ROC AUC being the evaluation metric on original data and feature engineered data. ROC AUC value range between 0 and 1. Higher the ROC, better the model and vice versa.
We can clearly see that the feature engineered data has given the ROC AUC as 1, specifies all the positively data points are correctly classified and not even a single negative point is classified as positive, i.e 100% accuracy.
Note: Performing Hyperparameter tuning in this problem didn't make any impact.
Other Toy example
The above data is generally referred to as XOR data as it follows XOR Truth table. The data point is labeled positive when both the features are positive and vice versa. The data point is labeled negative if either of the features is negative.
Can we apply any transformation on this data to make this task simpler?
Yes, again!!!.
As positively labeled data point features are both either positive or negative, we will create a new feature set:
Feature 1 new= Feature 1 * Feature 2
Feature 2 new = Feature 2
| Feature 1 | Feature 2 | Feature 1 new | Feature 2 new |
| 10 | 10 | 100 | 10 |
| 12 | -10 | -120 | -10 |
| -10 | 10 | -100 | 10 |
| -12 | -10 | 120 | -10 |
The Feature 1 new, for positively labeled points is always positive and for negatively labeled points is always negative making both sets of points falling in different regions.
Now, we can easily create a plane that separates these two features in a much easier way.
Other Feature Engineering Techniques
There are many transformation techniques. Let f1- Feature 1 and f2- Feature 2 be real-valued features. Then we can apply
- Polynomial Transformations : f1**2, f1*f2 , f1+f2 , 3*f1+2f2 etc.,
- Trigonometric Transformations: sin(f1), tanh(f2**2), cot(f1/f2), etc.,
- Boolean Transformations: AND, OR, NOT, NAND, XOR, etc.,
- Logarithmic Transformations: log(f1), log(f1*f2), etc.,
- Exponential Transformations: pow(e,f1), pow(e, 2*f2), etc.,
For Text data, commonly used Feature engineering techniques are:
- Bag of words
- Continuous Bag of Words
- Term Frequency Inverse Document Frequency(TFIDF)
- Word2Vec technique(W2V)
- Average TFIDF and W2V
There is a general misconception that tuning the Hyper-parameters may always give better results with Bias- variance trade-off. This is not true, because if the data given is not separable, building a classifier on top of the data is useless. The only thing that can rescue you to overcome this problem is Feature Engineering. So, Feature Engineering plays a vital role in the field of Machine learning and Deep learning.
Simpler models like Logistic Regression with Feature Engineering can outperform complex models like Random Forest, XGBoostClassifier , Neural Networks without Feature Engineering.
Alert: Building complex models without understanding the data is the dumbest thing that you can ever do.
Extension to Deep learning
The concept of feature engineering can be extended to Deep learning. The advantage of using Engineered features in Deep Learning is that Optimal accuracy can be achieved using:
- Simpler networks
- Fewer layers
- Less number of epochs, etc.,

Multiple SSID & Built-in RADIUS Server
VigorAP 910C can be used to provide Wi-Fi service to staff and guest at the same time, up to 8 SSIDs can be configured on VigorAP 910C, and each of the SSID can be mapped to a different VLAN and have a unique security settings.
VigorAP 910C is also an integrated solution for a business network which would like to do 802.1x authentication (instead of using a shared password, this requires a unique username and password for each user) but does not have an authentication server deployed yet. VigorAP 910C can do 802.x authentication based on the local user accounts, and also act as the RADIUS server for other devices (e.g., a router) on the network.
For a network where multiple access points are deployed, VigorAP 910C provides solutions to improve the Wi-Fi client's roaming experience. While roaming is a choice of the client device, VigorAP 910C can help the client switching to another access point which offers better signal by the feature called "AP-Assisted Roaming", custom conditions can be set including a stronger signal guaranteed. (Learn more about AP-Assisted Roaming by visiting
Easy Setup & Monitoring
Vigor AP 910C supports both stand-alone setup and controller-based setup. For settings up a few access points only, the configuration can be done directly on the AP's intuitive web user interface. When it comes to managing a large amount of access point, there is the centralized management tool - VigorACS to perform configuration provisioning, bulk firmware upgrade, status monitoring, and statistical analysis. Furthermore, for those who are already using a Vigor Router that supports central management feature, they can manage the VigorAP 910C through the router's web user interface as well.

Our group focuses on research, development and implementation of advanced digital signal processing algorithms, mainly in the fields of adaptive control and audio processing. We build on our experience with statistics, namely with the Bayesian approach to system identification and modeling, as well as the relevant fields of linear algebra.
Our target platforms are Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and Digital Signal Processors (DSPs). We use Matlab/Simulink to specify, model and verify algorithms that we later convert and synthesize to HW. As such specialized solutions are likely to be used in embedded systems, we also research features that result in extremely fast execution, use small amount of memory, small chip area or low power consumption. We achieve this both through designing new or modifying existing DSP algorithms, and using architectural properties such as dynamic reconfiguration of FPGAs...

Misogynistic Sayings and Quotes
Below you will find our collection of inspirational, wise, and humorous old misogynistic quotes, misogynistic sayings, and misogynistic proverbs, collected over the years from a variety of sources.
Misogynist: A man who hates women as much as women hate one another.
The misogyny that is in every culture is not a true part of the human condition. It is life out of balance, and that imbalance is sucking something out of the soul of every man and woman who's confronted with it.
Misogyny comes naturally to a young man in his late teens; it is a function of the powerful homosocial impulses that flower along Fraternity Row, that drove the mod movements of the middle sixties and late seventies, that lie at the heart of every rock band formed by men of that age.
Misogynist is a word used by women about men who are able to describe women directly and accurately enough to make them feel uncomfortable and insecure about themselves.
The misogyny that shapes every aspect of our civilization is the institutionalized form of male fear and hatred of what they have denied and therefore cannot know, cannot share: that wild country, the being of women.
Woman is soulless and possesses neither ego nor individuality, personality nor freedom, character nor will.
Misogyny was born of fear of women.
Sexists refer to every female political opinion as hysterical, just like they refer to every word a woman says when she opens her mouth as shouting, and for the same reasons not because the women are actually being loud or unreasonable, but because women are not supposed to have opinions or voices at all.

AT THIRTY-THREE, holistic therapist Pauline Reid feels her life has purpose.
"I get a real kick out of making people feel better, whether its physical relief through things like physiotherapy and reflexology, or support for mental stress through just being there for somebody."
But Reid's Glasgow clients - familiar with seeing a gentle, dark-haired woman without make-up and dressed in clinical white - might be hard put to recognise her after-hours.
"I suppose I do like to blow out and look a bit Goth when I'm relaxing with like-minded people," she says.
To support a growing following, a magazine is published monthly on witches and witchcraft.
More than just Goth.
Reid is a practising witch and, wearing her other "hat" as a Wiccan high-priestess, she runs a coven to instruct her sisters in the finer points of witchcraft. She also hosts monthly social gatherings for about 35 Wiccans in a south-side Glasgow pub.
"To me, Wicca and witchcraft operate from the same principles. We're working to bring the old religion into a new age."
Reid says her ancient counterparts studied the laws of nature just as she does today.
"Witches were healers then as they are now. Witch simply means 'wise' and modern witches draw their inspiration from living in harmony with nature, following the old ways that go back to the indigenous pre-Christian religions of Europe.
"Wicca is lunar-based, with eight major festivals and the solstices and equinoxes in between. The moon is powerful enough to pull tides, and since humans are 80 per cent water, it's logical the phases of the moon strongly affect us too."
The coven prefers to meet outdoors but as "city witches" they frequently have to adapt and hold rituals in a person's flat. "Outsiders" are not welcome - though nothing remotely diabolical is involved. They leave Christian beliefs like Heaven and hell and Satanism well alone.
"As we practise pre-Christian beliefs, I suppose we can all be loosely classed as pagan and we have our own sub-divisions the same way that different Churches operate under the Christian umbrella."
Nobody knows how many modern-day pagans are around the country but it is estimated there are up to 200,000. And it's a rapidly growing movement that now boasts its own Pagan Federation. Its Scottish spokesman is David Macintyre.
"We're steadily re-emerging into the public domain. You can put 'pagan' on the official census and it's accepted - which is how it should be," he says. "There's a long way to go though."
Witches, by Hans Baldung Grien, from 1508, captures a colourful look at the sisterhood from that time.
The word "pagan" comes from the Latin paganus that simply means a country dweller, he says.
"Paganism is a religion inspired by love of the living earth around us and pagans see the natural cycles of birth, growth and death as having profoundly spiritual meaning."
You won't find them shoving leaflets at you in the street. That's not their way.
"Oh no, we never seek to convert," says Reid. "We're happy to explain and to let people see what we're about, but the approach has to come from them first."
So how do people become witches and how did Reid get into it herself?
"I've just always known," she replies. "I grew up in Ayrshire and was always fascinated by nature and how everything all fit together. I had one Protestant and one Catholic parent and neither of these religions felt right. In my teens I read about paganism in the library and went out and put an advert in a paper looking for contacts."
That was in pre-Google days. Now a quick trawl under "witchcraft" will produce a curious mix of contacts from gentle nature worshippers and Green Party members to radical feminists bent on retribution for the wave of "bad press" (ie, witch burnings) of previous centuries. Many embrace Celtic beliefs, some personify the gothic, others veer towards the more mythological interpretations of witchcraft.
Meanwhile, Reid spends her days juggling work with organising Witchfest Scotland, an event that takes place in July.
"I'm working non-stop just now but it's worth it," she says. "We love getting together and swapping knowledge and just having fun. The typical Witchfest talks are very down-to-earth."
Do her day-job clients know she's a practising witch?
"Yes, they do. I'm proud of my beliefs and I see no reason to hide them from anybody."
Reid hasn't had many problems. Her clients are generally more curious than alarmed.
But the same cannot be said of the ladies of Langside. Organising the first Scottish festival three years ago, it seemed logical to hold it in Langside Hall near their regular Glasgow meeting place.
"It was the first and the last time we used that venue," Reid says. "There I was, trying to look wise and all-knowing for a BBC interview and all hell was breaking loose outside. There were women marching round the building chanting prayers and then the door would fly open and they would physically throw holy water in at us! Bizarre or what?"
Wasn't there a temptation to counter with a bit of wand-waving and a few chosen spells?
"No. That would only have confirmed their preconceived notions. We do cast spells but mostly to get rid of negative things just like prayer. And yes, if used at the right time and in conjunction with the right elemental forces, they work."
Reid reckons her fertility spells are more powerful than IVF.
"Never failed yet," she says.

When you don't feel creative
Creativity is everywhere. Almost everything we do has an element of creativity within it. I used to think creativity was limited only fine arts, literature, music, and the like. But my idea of it has broadened. Everyone is creative and has potential to unearth something beautiful and useful from it. Spending most of my days… Continue reading When you don't feel creative

According to the LexisNexis report, Mind the gap, the main challenges and priorities for mid-size firms revolve around clients and staffing –
not just attracting them, but holding onto them over the long-term.
Based on interviews and surveys with 56 decision makers and more than 100 practicing lawyers, 80% agreed that attracting new clients was their top priority and 75% were focused on retention and client loyalty. Suggesting that – for now –
keeping up-to-date with legal developments ad news may take a backseat.
The problem is clients no longer walk through the door unsolicited, which places a heavy onus on marketing – which isn't a strong point for many firms.
In fact, around 25% of fee earners have taken on responsibility for areas like marketing, social media and PR themselves – which is a far cry from their own areas of expertise, experience and training.

On October 15, we witnessed the largest debate stage ever, filled with twelve candidates vying for the Democratic nomination. Twelve people taking the debate stage in a single night is unprecedented, and yet strangely appropriate for modern day politics. It feels that we run into something new and unusual every day, fueled by the erratic and unpredictable nature of the current administration. Along with the size of the candidate pool, there was something key that jumped out in the three-hour debate, hosted by CNN and The New York Times: There was a common target among many of the candidates.
Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren received pushback throughout much of the night, an indicator of the fact that her opponents are well aware that she's been surging. It appears the momentum is firmly in her corner, with early polling indicating that she's leading the pack in early primary states such as Iowa and New Hampshire. There was a common thread in the earlier debates: former Vice President Joe Biden received much of the heat, as he'd been leading the pack by a comfortable margin. You wouldn't have guessed it by watching this debate, seeing as how scarcely anyone challenged Biden — a sign that their attention was focused elsewhere. Biden's lead has slowly evaporated, while Warren's been steadily gaining support with a mix of strong campaigning and a perception that she's got a plan for just about everything.
The most trying moment of the night for Warren was during a debate on health care, where she has so far refused to say whether or not Medicare for All would raise taxes on the middle class. She walks a fine line on this issue, supporting Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders' plan (where Sanders has admitted taxes would go up, offset by the costs saved by premiums and deductibles being eliminated in a single-payer system), yet doesn't answer with the same bluntness when pressed about the proposal. My personal theory is two-pronged: I believe Warren deflects when asked because she doesn't want to give Republicans or skeptics the soundbite that would be easily used in attack ads against her if she were to become the Democratic nominee. I also wonder that if she is the nominee, she'll have to pivot to a more moderate stance on healthcare — something including a public option (versus single-payer), either to satisfy independents and moderate Democrats, or to meet with reality on what Congress would be willing to pass into law. Ultimately, Warren is "the woman with a plan" yet is uncharacteristically nuanced on this issue.
The debate took place against the backdrop of an impeachment inquiry in the U.S. House of Representatives. Spurred by a whistleblower complaint about a phone call between President Trump and Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which Trump asks Zelensky to investigate the Bidens, House Democrats have been building a case against Trump. All twelve Democratic candidates agreed that Trump should be impeached or, at the very least, voiced support of the inquiry.
While there were contentious moments, such as Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar and Elizabeth Warren's back-and-forth on health care, or South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg and former Texas Rep. Beto O'Rourke on Beto's comments at the previous debate about taking AK47s and AR15s, the candidates were mostly in alignment on the issues that need urgency. Healthcare, climate change, income inequality, criminal justice reform, and gun violence are all issues that have gotten significant coverage in the Democratic debates so far
Since the debates, New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has endorsed Bernie Sanders, a coveted endorsement from a figure who is widely popular with the progressive base of the Democratic party. We have yet to see the benefits that will be reaped from Ocasio-Cortez's endorsement, as Sanders is currently behind Warren and Biden, and faced a setback a few weeks ago when he had a heart attack (but you wouldn't have known, as he had a strong showing). I'm left with a similar sentiment as New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker, who cautioned that the candidates would be wise to think about the extent to which they attack each other. It's understandable that candidates that haven't broken through yet are trying to shift the tide of the race, but they must also think, "at what cost?" Because during the heated moments and attacks, they're also helping Republicans by giving them fodder.

The Jakarta Post
If one wished to put a finger on the urban rhythm of Jakarta and then transfer it into a performance, the stage would offer one a seamless transition.
A collaborative work between German and Indonesian artists attempts to capture the daily life of urban Jakartans and present it in a unique way.
As a part of the 'German Season' in Indonesia, the Goethe-Institut Indonesia, the German Embassy and the Indonesian-German Chamber of Industry and Commerce (EKONID) will bring the 'volution/groove space' performance to audiences at Komunitas Salihara's theater space in South Jakarta.
The show integrates contemporary dance, visual art, music, fashion and audience participation into a peculiar, yet moving, performance.
German-based Groove Space dancers led by choreographer and contemporary dance researcher Sebastian Matthias worked together with Indonesian installation artist Iswanto Hartono, artists Irwan Ahmett and Tita Salina, collage-based art collective Cut and Rescue and designer Didiet Maulana from the IKAT Indonesia fashion house to put on the show.
Instead of erecting a raised stage for the performance, the artists created layers of stages so that the audience could experience a multidimensional urban art performance.
In a dress rehearsal on Friday attended by Goethe-Institut regional director Heinrich Blömeke, the show started with a group of motorcycles in helmets maneuvering in a street in front of an art compound. Then, the audience walked to the gallery space where the main performance took place.
Collage music of a busy bus terminal and traffic ushered the audience to the next stage called 'the haze room.'
'Motorcyclists are a part of Jakarta. Everyone is riding a bike regardless their economic or social status. This city is choked full of motorcycles from the time we step out of our house,' said Irwan.
The smoke-filled room, he said, represented the surreal future of a city that had overlooked environmental aspects in its development.
'Smoke symbolizes the sensation of terror,' he added during a discussion that ensued after the show.
The low-lit black brick walls of the theater boasted a minimalist décor, filled only with two green rugs and artificial leaves and flowers designed to emulate a garden.
Do not expect a seat, but expect instead to interact with and meet the eye of six dancers who move around and between the audience.
In an interactive performance, according to dancer Jubal Battisti, the dancers have to keep eye contact with the audience to be able to read their reaction and then react to it. 'It's a privilege as an artist,' he said.
The dancers wore a black outfit with details made from woven ikat fabric.
The speakers blasted dangdut music now and then, creating an ambience fit for a dangdut club on the outskirts of Jakarta.
The motorcyclists served as useful props for the dancers, whose movements were dictated by the responses they received.
The audience was invited to move along with the dancers. At times, the audience followed the dancers. At other times, the dancers approached the audience and impersonated their actions.
Begun as a collaborative project in Berlin, Groove Space is a performance that examines the relationship between urban space and the body, movement and rhythm in different cities.
It has been performed in Zurich and Freiburg and after Jakarta, it will make stops in Dusseldorf, Tokyo and Hamburg.
One of the dancers, Lisanne Goodhue, explained that during their five weeks of research and practice in preparation for the performance in Jakarta, their experiences crossing the city streets and taking the sidewalks inspired the dramaturgy of the choreography.
'We have to stay focused but also aware of all the movements in our surroundings,' she said.
The dancers integrated other aspects of daily life familiar to Jakartans in the performance, including the obsession that many have to achieve a lighter skin tone and to perform in singing contests.
Her colleague, Harumi Terayama, said the main stage was set-up to accommodate a concentrated point of view in order to enable person-to-person interaction.
'With that, we can receive immediate feedback from the audience,' she added.
The artists will put on four shows over the weekend. Admission is free but because of limits in the capacity of the gallery space, the public are encouraged to make reservations through [email protected]

Your Skies
Post date:
Liner Notes:
@pfoo and @standup wanted to do a collab this year, and @standup suggested something reminiscent of Pink Floyd. We sat down and listened to some stuff and decided "Wish You Were Here Parts 1-5" was kind of a favorite of both of ours. So with that in mind, we got to work.
@pfoo did some synth parts on MS-20 and sent them. @standup had already been working on lyrics, and started assembling the song. Guitars, vocals and bass were next. @pfoo played drums after the other parts were recorded.
I'm in orbit I cross your skies
I see more than you realize
perspective is all I know
as the earth spins below
I float I fly
the eye in the sky
I am objective
I have perspective
I got the angle on your lies
not one thing you can disguise
I float at altitude
the whole world in my view
I do not dream, I only know
I see all that occurs below
Flatline radar picks you up
my line of sight you can't obstruct
I float above the fray
I always have my way
I float I fly
the eye in the sky
I am objective
I have perspective
Please keep your comments respectful, honest, and constructive. Please focus on the song and not the demo.
This is really phenomenal! I love the velvetly flowing feel of the music with the wonderful soothing psychedelic feel that works brilliantly with the lyrics and vocals. I love feeling high on music without any drugs and this song takes me to that space where I am floating with the music and transported into a cool safe place of higher perspective. Wonderful!

Roger Khan insists State wrong in interpretation
Petition for early releaseShaheed Roger KhanIn his bid to be released from prison in the United States, Shaheed Roger Khan is insisting that the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) should use his good-conduct credit under the First Step Act to have him released earlier than July.Khan is currently serving a 15-year sentence for drug trafficking to the US and is set to be released on July 8, this year. However, he filed a petition in March for early release, pursuant to good-time credit acquired under the First Step Act (Formerly Incarcerated Reenter Society Transformed Safely Transitioning Every Person Act or First Step Act) – which revises sentencing laws and expands reentry and early release programmes.The First Step Act, which was signed into law by President Donald Trump in December 2018, seeks to ensure that all inmates within the BOP receive the full 54 days of good-conduct credit. This would mean that Khan could have benefited from a three-month early release which would have been in mid-to-late March.But the BOP, according to the petition, has taken the absolute strictest stance in an effort to wait until the very last second to apply this legislative correction. As such, the good conduct credit fix will be applied until after July 19, 2019, which means thousands of prisoners, like Khan, will not benefit from the passage of the First Step Act.In his reply to the response filed by the State, on behalf of the warden at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Miami, Bryan Dobbs – where he is being kept – Khan noted that the dispute is really when the change in laws was supposed to go into effect.He outlined in his submissions that the Respondent's position is that this change will not go into effect until July 25, 2019, based upon the provision within Section 102 (b) of the First Step Act that holds the "effective date" to "take effect beginning on the date that the Attorney General completes and releases the risk and needs assessment system".And according to the Respondent, since the Attorney General was granted 210 days to complete the "risk and needs assessment" system, then the good-time fix will not go into effect until July 25, 2019.This, Khan argued, is erroneous. He pointed out that the Attorney General's directive to complete a "risk and needs assessment" system is independent of, and separate from, the good-time fix."It was meant to be applied solely toward the separate 'earned-time' credits, which has nothing to do with the 'good-time' fix. The only part of the law that was supposed to have a delayed implementation was the first [earned-time]; the other part of the law [good-time] was, by congressional intent, to have immediate application," Khan insisted in his submissions.Furthermore, he posited that the cases that the Respondent cites as supporting its position are not precedent but, in fact, go against the Eleventh Circuit's directive to give effect to congressional intent, which, he said, is clear in this matter; that these two provisions (earned-time vs good-time) were to be two separate considerations independent of each other.Khan was sentenced in 2009 to 15 years' imprisonment after he pled guilty to arms trafficking, drug trafficking, conspiracy and witness tampering. He was nabbed in neighbouring Suriname back in June 2006 after fleeing Guyana illegally. Khan had made claims of working to curb an out-of-control crime situation during that period by using extrajudicial methods of execution.
Guyana, 18 other OAS states refuse to recognise Venezuelan Govt
– resolution adopted urging return to democracy, free and fair electionsOn the same day as the swearing-in of Venezuela President Nicholás Maduro, Guyana was among 19 countries to support a resolution refusing to recognise the legitimacy of a Maduro Government and to call for fresh elections.This resolution was taken at the level of the Permanent Council of Organisation of American States (OAS), of which Guyana is a member. When the dust from voting had settled, OAS Assistant Secretary General Nestor Mendez announced that 19 voted in favour of the resolution, six were against it and there were eight abstentions and one member completely absent.According to the resolution, the OAS would not recognise the legitimacy of Maduro's new term as President. The resolution also urges member states to use lawful, diplomatic, economic and financial measures to restore democracy to Venezuela.Among other things, it also calls for new, free and fair presidential elections to be held. The resolution notes that last year's election failed to meet international standards for elections and lacked legitimacy.The resolution also seeks "to invite Member States and Permanent Observers to implement measures to address the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela and impacted countries, through the support to appropriate international and regional organisations.It also urges "the Venezuelan regime to allow the immediate entry of humanitarian aid to the people in Venezuela, including epidemiological surveillance, to prevent the aggravation of the humanitarian and public health crisis, particularly against the reappearance and propagation of diseases," going on to demand "the immediate and unconditional release of all political prisoners."The OAS resolution also assures the Venezuelan people of its solidarity andThe voting at the Permanent Council of the Organisation ofAmerican States (OAS Photo)intention to restore democracy to the beleaguered Spanish speaking country, adding that the resolution will also be presented before the United Nations (UN).It was noted in the resolution that Maduro's Government has presided over "worsening political, economic, social and humanitarian crisis, resulting from the breakdown of democratic order and serious human rights violations in that state, and the Government of Venezuela's negligence to meet the fundamental Inter-American standards of human rights and democracy."It adds that "as a consequence, a significant number of Venezuelans are being forced to flee the country because their basic needs have not been met." The OAS also noted that with the collapse of Venezuela's healthcare system, there has been a reemergence of previously eradicated infectious diseases across that country and into its neighbors and the wider region.It is understood that besides Guyana, the other 18 votes in favour of the resolution came from Argentina, Bahamas, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, United States, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, Jamaica, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Dominican Republic, and St Lucia.On the other hand, the six countries voting against were: Bolivia, Nicaragua, St Vincent and the Grenadines, Dominica, Suriname, and Venezuela. The eight countries that abstained were: Mexico, St Kitts and Nevis, Trinidad and Tobago, Uruguay, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, and El Salvador. Grenada was absent.IntimidationIt was only a week ago that Guyana's Government had called on Venezuela to cease its intimidation tactics and respect Guyana's territory. This had followed complaints late last year from ExxonMobil that the Venezuelan navy had intercepted one of its vessels while doing research work.On December 22, ExxonMobil's local subsidiary announced it was suspending the 3-D seismic tests it started only a month ago in Guyana's Stabroek Block; after the appearance and approach of the Venezuelan navy caused the company's seismic vessel to pack up shop and vacate the area.Ramform Tethys, the vessel in question is owned by Norwegian company Petroleum and Geo Services (PGS). The company was contracted by Exxon to carry out tests and acquire seismic data.The incident came at a time when Guyana has an ongoing territorial integrity case with Venezuela. While Guyana has submitted the relevant paperwork to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) the Venezuelan Government is yet to join the proceedings. During the 2019 budget debates, Foreign Affairs Minister Carl Greenidge had revealed that April 18, 2019 has been set for Venezuela to submit its counter memorial.Guyana approached the ICJ in the hopes of a final judicial settlement of longstanding border controversies with Venezuela. When US oil giant ExxonMobil announced the first of multiple oil finds in local waters in 2015, Venezuela renewed its claim to two-thirds of Guyana's territory. Venezuela has been against oil exploration in Guyana's Stabroek Block, where multiple oil deposits were found by ExxonMobil, and has since renewed claims to the Essequibo region.On January 30, 2018, Secretary General of the United Nations Antonio Guterres concluded that the Good Offices Process – which the parties had engaged in for almost 30 years, but it failed to achieve a solution to the controversy – and chose the ICJ as the next means of settlement, for which Guyana has long been advocating. Sir Shridath Ramphal and Ambassador Audrey Waddell are assisting Minister Greenidge.

1 Hull staged a second-half recovery to earn a point in a 1-1 draw at Sheffield Wednesday in the Sky Bet Championship.Steve Bruce's men failed to impress in the opening 45 minutes of this Yorkshire derby as the Owls deservedly led through Fernando Forestieri's instinctive finish after 28 minutes.But Bruce clearly had words with his men at the half-time interval and they came out firing in the second half, with Abel Hernandez's 50th-minute strike earning a draw.Both sides will feel they could have won, as several chances were missed during their respective dominant 45 minutes, but Wednesday and Hull both extend their impressive unbeaten runs.Wednesday's first-half domination could have began much earlier had referee Keith Stroud awarded them a spot-kick inside the opening 10 minutes when Kieran Lee burst into the box and looked to be fouled by Tigers skipper Michael Dawson.However, after continuing to look the more threatening, they took the lead in the 28th minute through Forestieri.After a corner was cleared Ross Wallace stood a ball back into the area which Tom Lees headed down for Forestieri to hook home from eight yards.Hull threatened an immediate response when Jake Livermore's low effort forced Owls goalkeeper Keiren Westwood into a scrambling save, but it was Wednesday who continued to boss matters.Lucas Joao almost doubled the lead when he made space for himself on the edge of the area and sent in a stinging low shot, which Hull goalkeeper Allan McGregor failed to hold, with Forestieri denied as he was about to follow up.And then Barry Bannan squandered an even better opportunity after blazing over at the far post following good work by Lee.After a poor first-half showing from the Tigers it took them only five minutes to improve after the break and they levelled through Hernandez.Westwood beat away two efforts from Livermore but he was helpless to Hernandez driving in his fifth goal of the season.Hull were a different side and only the fingertips of Westwood stopped them taking the lead on the hour mark.Ahmed Elmohamady whipped in an inviting cross and Hernandez's precise header was superbly tipped around the post.Sam Clucas and Andrew Robertson both drilled over as Hull continued to press, though there was a rare moment of danger at the other end as McGregor had to produce a fine save after Robertson diverted a Wednesday free-kick goalwards.Hull sent three men up front in the final 10 minutes in a bid to force a winner, but the only late drama was Stroud suffering an injury after taking a tumble, with the referee replaced for the four minutes of time added on by fourth official Darren Handley.

Enron accountant says he fixed books
Colwell agreed it was proper to establish such reserves, but stood his ground that raiding them to pump up earnings was not. When Oppenheimer asked whether Colwell opposed the timing of the reserves reduction, Colwell responded, "No, the timing in my mind was not an issue with the changes, it was the way." Colwell conceded that no one told him to do anything improper with a reserve account, nor did he voice concern that his action was wrong. "You never said, 'Gee, I don't want to do this?"' Oppenheimer asked. "I did not say that, you're right," Colwell replied. Other witnesses have testified that Skilling either ordered or had authority to order the last-minute increase in reported earnings per share in the second quarter of 2000. Colwell's predecessor, Wanda Curry, took the stand Monday and testified that the trading division's then-chief executive, Cliff Baxter, told her in February 2000 that Colwell would replace her as chief accounting officer of Enron North America because she "was incapable of making aggressive accounting decisions." Causey then assigned her to work for Enron's retail energy unit. In autumn 2000, he directed Curry to analyze its trading contracts and billing procedures in an assignment dubbed "Project Deep Dive." Curry said she found wildly overvalued contracts stemming from the retail unit's trading operation and piles of uncashed checks from customers, which translated to hundreds of millions of dollars in losses for the unit. "It was a complete do-over because we couldn't trust what was in those books," she said of efforts to assign more reasonable values to contracts. She reported her findings to Causey and other superiors in February 2001, and learned in March of that year that the retail unit's trading operation had been folded into Enron's wholesale division, which encompassed the company's larger trading franchise. Skilling told analysts the move consolidated similar functions to increase efficiency. But Curry testified that his explanation didn't make sense because retail contracts were more complicated and wholesale traders lacked the expertise to handle them. "I believed the decision (to move retail trading into wholesale) was made at the end of March or early April because of documented large losses, referring specifically to the retail side of the business," Curry declared sternly. Curry's testimony was expected to wrap up today, but it wasn't clear who would testify next. Prosecutors expected to call Delainey, who pleaded guilty to insider trading in October 2003, but the defense teams said they weren't ready to cross-examine him because they didn't expect Colwell and Curry to finish so quickly. Prosecutors said they might instead call Timothy Belden, a former top Enron trader who pleaded guilty in October 2002 to wire fraud for manipulating California power markets during that state's power crunch in 2000-2001. Before the trial began, Jan. 30, U.S. District Judge Sim Lake ruled that Belden could not testify about audiotapes of Enron traders often profanely discussing how they gamed California's power system for higher profit because neither Skilling nor Lay is charged with manipulating that state's market. Prosecutors contend that Lay and Skilling repeatedly lied about Enron's financial health while knowing fraudulent accounting propped up the company before it crashed into bankruptcy proceedings in December 2001. The defendants say there was no fraud at Enron, and that negative publicity coupled with diminishing market confidence fueled the company's swift collapse. Colwell, 46, testified as part of an immunity deal he obtained from prosecutors. In October 2003 he paid half a million dollars to settle Securities and Exchange Commission civil allegations of manipulating Enron's earnings, but has not been charged with a crime. "If I tell the truth and don't withhold any information, I will not be prosecuted for my crimes while at Enron," Colwell told jurors Monday when explaining his deal. The SEC complaint alleged that Colwell and others improperly set aside higher-than-expected trading profit to report in future quarters so Enron would appear to be a stable, growing company rather than one vulnerable to market volatility. In addition to paying a fine to settle the SEC allegations, Colwell lost his CPA license and is barred from being an officer in a publicly traded company. He is not a felon. Skilling faces 31 counts of fraud, conspiracy, insider trading and lying to auditors, while Lay faces seven counts of fraud and conspiracy. If convicted, both face decades in prison. Only Skilling faces allegations of improper stock sales. 160Want local news?Sign up for the Localist and stay informed Something went wrong. Please try again.subscribeCongratulations! You're all set!

Twice within a five-day stretch between the close of the second quarter in 2000 and Enron's announcement of earnings, Colwell reduced reserves by $7 million. The total $14 million was added to reported income so Enron could announce earnings-per-share of 34 cents rather than the 32 cents Wall Street expected, making the company appear more successful than it was. "Did you use reserve accounts at Enron North America to fraudulently manipulate Enron's reported earnings?" prosecutor Sean Berkowitz asked. "Yes," Colwell replied. Skilling lawyer Randall Oppenheimer tried to establish that reserve accounts are part of normal operations to protect companies against losses or liabilities. He also noted that amounts of those reserves fluctuated with efforts to keep adequate financial cushions. HOUSTON – The former top accountant for Enron Corp.'s profitable trading division said Monday that he improperly raided reserves to increase earnings in mid-2000 when he understood that former Chief Executive Jeffrey Skilling and other superiors wanted results that would wow Wall Street. Wesley H. Colwell kicked off the fifth week of the fraud and conspiracy trial of Skilling and Enron founder Kenneth Lay, telling jurors he helped the company fraudulently manipulate earnings to meet or beat analysts' expectations by dipping into reserves when Enron needed an income boost that business operations didn't provide. Colwell didn't say Skilling ordered him to plunder reserves to boost earnings. He said, however, that he e-mailed his boss – then-Enron North America chief executive David Delainey – days before Enron released second-quarter 2000 earnings to say he understood that it was Skilling's "preference" to surpass expectations. Colwell explained later he had found out about Skilling's preference third-hand from accounting executive Mark Lindsey, who told Colwell that then-Enron Chief Accounting Officer Richard Causey had discussed it with Skilling.

Pan-African passport launched at AU Summit
The promised pan-African passport was launched and the financing of the African Union (AU) was among the many issues discussed by heads of state at the 27th AU Summit in Kigali, Rwanda over the weekend.Discussions centred on the continent's actions regarding the AU's Agenda 2063.This strategic framework sets a path for socio-economic transformation of the continent over the next 50 years. It was adopted at the Organization of African Unity (OAU) / AU 50th Anniversary Celebration, held in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in 2013.Agenda 2063 lies at the heart of the future Africa envisions for itself. The leaders who signed it imagined a prosperous continent at peace with itself.One of the foundations of Agenda 2063 is the AU vision: "An integrated, prosperous and peaceful Africa, driven by its own citizens and representing a dynamic force in global arena".The summit, which started on 10 July and ended yesterday, is themed 2016: African Year of Human Rights. Leaders in Kigali focused particularly on the rights of African women.ElectionsElections were held on Sunday, 17 July for a new chairperson of the AU Commission to replace South Africa's Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma, along with a roster of new AU commissioners. The new commissioner was to be announced as the summit closed on Monday.The three candidates for the post AU Commissioner, two of them women, were: former Uganda vice-president Specioza Wandira Kazibwe, Botswana foreign minister Pelonomi Venson Moitoi, and Equatorial Guinea foreign minister Agapito Mba Mokuy, according to the international multimedia broadcasting service, Voice of America.Leaders from across Africa gather in Kigali for the 27th AU Summit, from 10-18 July 2016. (Image: 27th AU Summit)Briefing the media on 15 July, AU chief of staff Jennifer Chiriga, said that African heads of state would meet for the first time at a closed session the following day. "They will be discussing strategic issues, particularly the financing of the union. We have a report that will be represented."We also had a special envoy who has been going around the continent, getting views of the heads of state on how we can improve our peace fund," she said.The out-going Commission has three months from the election date to compile a handover report before exiting. Chiriga said the highlight of the summit would be the elections. "We are anticipating the summit will be electing a chairperson and a deputy chairperson. The executive council will elect eight commissioners. They will form a new Commission."Pan-African passportThe Pan-African passport, which will be made available to diplomats and heads of state first, will allow free movement across national borders. Louise Mushikiwabo, foreign affairs minister of Rwanda, explained that although security was a major concern, this would not stop them. "Our strategic thinking is that the fear of insecurity should not stop Africans from moving freely from one country to another."Passports would be delivered symbolically to some heads of state, foreign ministers and a few officials of the AU, she said. Thereafter each AU member state would discuss country-specific design of the passports. "How soon the passports will be implemented will depend on each country and their preparation to distribute widely," she said.The first two recipients were the leaders of Chad and Rwanda. Chadian President Idriss Déby, the body's current chairperson, and Rwandan President Paul Kagame were presented with the passports by Dlamini-Zuma.The passport was launched on Sunday, 17 July at the opening ceremony of the 27th Ordinary Session of the Assembly of the African Union:Video of first @_AfricanUnion passports being issued at #27thAUSummit #KigaliConvention pic.twitter.com/rgiVrWrcYs via @abi_negn— Calestous Juma (@calestous) July 17, 2016South SudanThe most critical issue that was discussed was the resurgence of violence in South Sudan, Mushikiwabo said on 14 July. "We are expecting the secretary-general of the United Nations to meet some leaders on the continent on this matter. This is a very important topic on everybody's mind."Their first concern was the protection of civilians in South Sudan, and then the political process could be put back on track, she added.Agenda 2063In her statement on Sunday, Dlamini-Zuma said they were hopeful regarding the implementation of Agenda 2063. "Work started on the Agenda 2063 flagship projects and the first Ten-Year Implementation Plan, and over two-thirds of countries and (regional economic communities) began domesticating this collective vision of the Africa we want."On the sidelines of this summit, the commission met African editors, discussing the role they should play in popularising Agenda 2063, in holding up a mirror that reflects Africanstories in their great diversity, in changing mindsets, shaping an African narrative that is pan-African and promoting our Renaissance. To do this, they told me to transmit humbly to the excellencies, they require freedom of the press and not to be persecuted for telling the truth," she said.Dlamini-Zuma also spoke about the third High Level Panel on Gender Equality."Over 400 mainly women and some men from across the continent and the diasporarepeated their call to strengthen financing for gender and the role of women inpeace processes."The AU and the OAUThe OAU was founded by 32 African countries at a meeting in Addis Ababa, in Ethiopia in 1963. By 2002, membership had grown to 53, when the organisation of African states was renamed the African Union. In 2011 it grew by one, when South Sudan became a member following that country's creation.According to the AU website, the OAU's main objectives, as set out in the OAU Charter, were:to promote the unity and solidarity of African states;to co-ordinate and intensify their co-operation and efforts to achieve a betterlife for the people of Africa;to safeguard the sovereignty and territorial integrity of member states;to rid the continent of colonisation and apartheid;to promote international co-operation within the United Nations framework;and,to harmonise members' political, diplomatic, economic, educational, cultural,health, welfare, scientific, technical and defence policies.Source: Rwanda Broadcasting Agency and SouthAfrica.info reporter
