Economic Governance
Scrutinizing the Corporate Role in the Post-2015 Development Agenda
Lou Pingeot
As multinational corporations grow larger and increasingly powerful, they have become actors to be reckoned with in international policy debates on poverty eradication, development, the environment, and human rights. At a time when governments seem unable and unwilling to resolve pressing challenges in multilateral settings, business is positioning itself as an alternative solution that is more flexible and efficient, and less bureaucratic, than states. Corporations, governments, and various civil society organizations are promoting multi-stakeholder initiatives and public-private partnerships as innovative models to tackle global issues.
The World Economic Forum's report on the future of global governance, Global Redesign, posits that a globalized world is best managed by a coalition of multinational corporations, governments, and select civil society organizations. The report argues that countries are no longer "the overwhelmingly dominant actors on the world stage" and that "the time has come for a new stakeholder paradigm of international governance." The World Economic Forum's vision includes a "public-private" United Nations (UN), in which certain specialized agencies would operate under joint state and non-state governance systems, such as the Food and Agriculture Organization through a "Global Food, Agriculture and Nutrition Redesign Initiative." This model also assumes that some issues would be taken off the agenda of the UN system to be addressed by "plurilateral, often multistakeholder, coalitions of the willing and able."
Similarly, the Oxford Martin Commission for Future Generations, an initiative designed to "identify ways to overcome today's impasse in key economic, climate, trade, security, and other negotiations" and chaired by former World Trade Organization Director-General Pascal Lamy, proposes to establish a "C20–C30–C40 Coalition" made up of G20 countries, 30 companies, and 40 cities that would work together to "counteract climate change." Although this "coalition of the working," based on "inclusive minilateralism," would report to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, it would not rely on binding commitments.
The trend toward an increased role of corporate actors in global governance through various models of multi-stakeholder initiatives is also reflected at the UN level. Already in 2002, the World Summit on Sustainable Development endorsed "the concept of voluntary, multi-stakeholder initiatives to facilitate andexpeditetherealizationof sustainabledevelopment goals and commitments." Several such high-profile initiatives are currently under way, addressing issues ranging from women and children's health ("Every Woman, Every Child") to sustainable energy ("Sustainable Energy for All"). This trend is supported by member states, as demonstrated by the resolutions of the UN General Assembly under the item "Towards global partnerships," which invite governments to continue to support UN efforts to engage with the private sector.
Still, there are diverging views among governments, UN institutions, and civil society organizations about the legitimacy and effectiveness of the growing interaction between the UN and business actors. While some maintain that there is no alternative to this new model, others have raised concerns about the limits and risks associated with public-private partnerships and multi-stakeholder initiatives. Some civil society groups argue that corporate influence at the UN diverts the organization from tackling the root causes of environmental, social, and economic problems and puts its credibility and legitimacy at risk.
Against this background, large multinational corporations are expected to play a growing role in and have expanding influence over the UN's post2015 development agenda, as indicated in a series of reports written by business organizations as well as UN documents.
The outcome document of the 2012 Rio+20 conference, titled The Future We Want, called for the creation of a new set of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are meant to build upon the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs, set to be reached by 2015) and to converge with the UN's post-2015 development agenda. The Future We Want also mandated the creation of an intergovernmental Open Working Group (OWG) to develop a proposal for the new goals, as well as the creation of an intergovernmental High-Level Political Forum (HLPF) to provide political leadership, guidance, and recommendations on sustainable development. Both bodies were established during 2013. (See Chapter 13.)
The UN is aiming to integrate the various "work streams" stemming from the post-MDG and post-Rio processes into a universal sustainable development agenda. In addition to the OWG and the HLPF, these include two initiatives by the UN Secretary-General. One is a High-Level Panel (HLP) established in July 2012 to advise on the global development framework beyond 2015, and the other is the Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) launched in August 2012, which aims to help overcome the gap between technical research and policy making and is to work with UN agencies and other organizations. Business groups, and in particular large multinational corporations, have been particularly active in the HLP and the SDSN.*
Business also has a strong presence through the Global Compact, a voluntary corporate responsibility initiative at the UN launched by former Secretary-General Kofi Annan. In early 2011, the Compact created a new initiative with a select number of companies, the Global Compact LEAD, to implement the "Blueprint for Corporate Sustainability Leadership." Of the current 55 members of LEAD, 11 are from the mining sector and the oil and gas industry, 4 are electric or other utility providers, while just 1 hails from the alternative energy sector. Further, a number of business associations are involved in the post-2015 consultations, including the World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD), the World Economic Forum, the International Chamber of Commerce, and the International Organization of Employers.

The success of The Hitman's Bodyguard, which will lead this weekend at the box office with $21.6 million, is good news for a movie that cost $29 million or so to make. With next weekend looking like a complete dead zone — unless you're particularly pumped for Sony's All Saints — the action-comedy looks primed to make back its cost of production. By the time it lands on VOD and home video, it could even turn a bit of a profit. For a movie that's only redeeming quality is its leads, Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson, that's a small victory in a summer that's been rife with failures and mediocrities saved only by their foreign box office performance.
Even taking this victory into account though, $21.6 million is no one's idea of big hit. It's a little more than what Baby Driver made in its opening weekend, but The Hitman's Bodyguard doesn't have the critical praise or word-of-mouth buzz that Edgar Wright's hugely satisfying action-comedy rode so ably. It's also a sizable drop from August's biggest hit, Annabelle: Creation, which came in at number two this weekend with $15.5 million from its $35 million opening, dropping about 56% in its second frame. With no help from the foreign box office, The Hitman's Bodyguard will likely still eek out a profit but just barely.
The road ahead looks much less charitable for the best movie currently in wide release, Logan Lucky, which landed at number three with $8 million. Steven Soderbergh's return to popular filmmaking cost about as much to make as The Hitman's Bodyguard and sports a much bigger cast, but its marketing was noticeably less effective than this weekend's winner. The very same could be said about The Nut Job 2: Nutty by Nature, which landed in fifth with $5.1 million in its second frame.
Both of those movies will have to fight to get anywhere near turning a profit, which is not the case with Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk. The war epic dropped to fourth place this weekend with $6.7 million in the till after five weeks in the top five. By the end of next weekend, it will likely have passed $170 million off of a budget of around $100 million. Nolan knows how to utilize a big screen, which is a major part of what makes him so popular, but his technical knowledge has always far outweighed the emotional and philosophical resonance of his movies. Still, for a generation of movie lovers who are less and less interested in actually going to a movie theater, having an artist who knows how to use an IMAX screen to its full potential is something of a gift.
Here's your top five for this weekend:

The chapters in part one provides the overall context of light manufacturing in Tanzania. Chapter one presents the rationale for the study, the potential of the sector in creating jobs and prosperity for Africa, and the approach and methodology of the study. ... See More + Chapter two reviews Tanzania's recent economic performance and prospects and concludes that, despite good macroeconomic performance, the country still needs to pursue structural transformation and diversification. Moreover, despite Tanzania's abundant natural endowments, manufacturing remains a viable source for job creation and prosperity. Chapter three examines the overall business environment among firms of all sizes in light industry in Tanzania. It first reviews the macroeconomic framework, focusing on wages, exchange rates, and interest rates before analyzing the microeconomic issues affecting firms such as export incentives, trade logistics, and access to electricity, land, and finance. Competition, an issue of paramount importance in improving Tanzania's competitiveness, is analyzed next, before a discussion of a potential shortcut for addressing some of the related macro and micro problems.

Cashew policy reforms in Mozambique have been controversial. They are often invoked by critics as an illustration of how agricultural policy reforms supported by international financial institutions may fail to have their intended effects. ... See More + This paper revisits the reforms and their outcomes almost two decades later. While the reforms resulted in higher producer prices and an increase in output, lack of consensus on the specifics of the reforms and associated non-price support arrangements created a situation in which the sector was not able to withstand international price shocks that ultimately led to a collapse of both the processing industry and cashew production. Non-price support by donors improved the efficiency of the processing industry but this was not complemented by an expansion in cashew nut supply as such support did not extend to smallholder cashew producers. For the reforms to have had their intended results, greater investment in -- and support to -- smallholder production was needed to increase yields and overall output. Such a more comprehensive approach to cashew policy reform would have required a greater focus on achieving consensus on the causes of the cashew sector's problems and agreement by all stakeholders on a common institutional framework for pricing and non-price support.

Aksoy, M. Ataman; Yagci, Fahrettin Disclosed
This paper reviews the main trends in growth, direction, and structure of intra- and extra-regional trade in the eastern and southern Africa (ESA) region and its trading blocks (COMESA, SADC, SACU and EAC). ... See More + The region's trade evolution over the 1990-2001 shows some troubling features. Unlike other developing countries, the ESA region has increased its marginalization in world trade. The declining share in world exports reflects export failure in some countries and growth failure in others. The main impact of such marginalization has been either a slowdown in imports or an increase in external debt. The share of intra-regional trade in region's total trade increased only marginally in all the trading blocks. Furthermore, such increase is concentrated mainly in two countries: South Africa and Kenya, which have large and growing trade surpluses with other countries in the region. Intra-regional trade is substantially lower in the ESA region than in other regional trading blocks. The region's export composition changed only marginally, unlike other developing regions, which experienced an increase in manufactured exports. As a result, there has been little change in the skill and technology intensity of exports in all trading blocks. Exports remain concentrated in non-fuel primary commodities and resource based and labor-intensive manufactures. The trading blocks' exports are generally growing at a lower rate than world exports - the share of dynamic products in the region is significantly low compared to other developing countries. ESA's challenge to reverse its increasing marginalization in world trade is to fully exploit its comparative advantage in agriculture and minerals through trade facilitation policies while diversifying also into other exports by gradually increasing the degree of primary good processing and increasing manufactured exports. Policies to make the export sector competitive and profitable need to be pursued relentlessly. See Less -

The choice of an appropriate exchange rate regime for developing countries has been at the center of the debate in international finance for a long time. ... See More + What are the costs and benefits of various exchange rate regimes? What are the determinants of the choice of an exchange rate regime and how would country circumstances affect the choice? Does macroeconomic performance differ under alternative regimes? How would an exchange rate adjustment affect trade flows? The steady increase in magnitude and variability of international capital flows has intensified the debate in the past few years as each of the major currency crises in the 1990s has in some way involved a fixed exchange rate and sudden reversal of capital flows. New questions include: Are pegged regimes inherently crisis-prone? Which regimes would be better suited to deal with increasingly global and unstable capital markets? While the debate continues, there are areas where some consensus is emerging, and there are valuable lessons from earlier experience for developing countries. This note provides a review of the main issues in selecting an appropriate regime, examines where the debate now stands, and summarizes the consensus reached and lessons learned from recent experience.

Working Paper (Numbered Series) 22707 APR 30, 2001
Yagci, Fahrettin
After a period of successful growth in the 1970s, Yugoslavia was hit very hard by a severe balance of payments crisis at the end of the 1970s that has overshadowed the economic scene since. ... See More + What were the causes of the crisis? Could it have been averted through the adoption of alternative policies in the 1970s? What can be said about the adjustment policies pursued since 1980 in the light of the lessons of the 1970s? These questions are addressed in this paper with the help of some counterfactual policy simulations for the period 1973-79, using a macroeconomic model developed for the Yugoslav economy. The simulations yielded three main conclusions. First, the payments crisis was attributable to a deterioration in the policy environment, particularly with respect to the exchange rate, wages, and interest rates, although external shocks and/or excessive expansion of domestic demand have played an aggravating role. Second, the crisis could have been avoided with alternative macroeconomic policies. Third, Yugoslavia could have achieved external balance and satisfactory growth in investment and output since 1980 had the policy environment been reformed promptly and significantly. See Less -

Structural adjustment lending is a comparatively new instrument. Although the Bank has substantially improved the design and implementation of these operations, there are areas which need further improvement. ...

Special emphasis is given to the development of an analytical framework for structural adjustment lending design. An analytical framework is defined as a set of concepts, issues, techniques and guidelines for policy analysis. Recommendations are also made to specify some of the components of the suggested framework. See Less -

Turkey has made piecemeal use of protective and incentive measures and has not given sufficient attention to the interdependence of these instruments and their net effect on different market destinations and sectors. ... See More + Quantification of the incidence of the system of protection and incentives in Turkish manufacturing in 1981 led to the following findings: (i) both nominal and effective protection are high and differ substantially among sectors, between public and private firms, and between domestic and export markets; (ii) tariff redundancy exists in many sectors; (iii) there is a substantial bias against the private sector; (iv) there is a heavy bias against exports in spite of generous export subsidies; (v) domestic resource cost is high in many sectors and differs substantially among them; (vi) the cost is substantially higher in the public sector; (vii) social profitability is higher in the private sector; and (viii) wide differences exist between social and private profitability among sectors and between public and private firms. These wide variations need to be narrowed, which will require restructuring in the whole incentive system, not just in import protection. See Less -

Hey guys,
today I played a game as Sandking. I know that since Patch 7.00 "Aghanim's Scepter upgrade no longer applies Caustic Finale on illusions, only real heroes"
However, the "normal" Caustic Finale Explosions do not damage (Terrorblade) Illusions. I did not check it with other Illus yet. I hit creeps around the illusion but the illusion itself is neither damaged by explosions or after the duration, nor is it slowed. Is this intended? When I hit the Illusion itself it gets the debuff which will expire damage and slow. But as I said and to make it clear: Illus are not affected by Caustic Finale Slow/Damage in the 400 AoE.
Best regards

To the Editor:
Re "In Haiti, a Puzzling Drought of Tears" (Week in Review, Jan. 31):
Trauma victims often "bottle up" or, more precisely, dissociate emotion that is beyond the pale of ordinary human experience and thus nearly impossible to bear or even to vent.
Some recover on their own, while others grow more symptomatic if pressured to relive their tragedies by "unbottling" their emotion.
Proper treatment is, in most cases, more complicated than a good cry.

CCSO detective thanks HES 1st-grader for kindness
Published Friday, June 8, 2018
Pictured above, from left to right, are Aiden Wright with his patch, gift card and challenge coin and Aiden with Detective Will Murheid and HES teacher Mrs. Emily Spitzmiller. (Provided)
"Thank you for your service." – It's what Hanahan Elementary School's Aiden Wright told Detective Will Muirheid several days during the school year when he passed him in the hallway.
The 7-year-old crossed paths with the Charleston County officer nearly every morning of the school year – Aiden off to another day of learning and Detective Muirheid dropping his kids off before a day of investigating violent crime.
At the end of May, Aiden found out how much his words meant to the officer who has dedicated his life to the safety and security of others.
Detective Muirheid wrote Aiden a note and with it included a CCSO patch, challenge coin and $25 Barnes and Noble gift card. It was a note that gave teachers and administrators pride as the officer shared the importance of Aiden's words on the worst of days.
"On more than one occasion you have looked me in the eyes and told me, 'thank you for your service.' I cannot express in words how much it meant to me to hear you say that, and the manner in which you do is extremely genuine. I started this job a long time ago with one mission in mind – help those that needed help," Detective Muirheid wrote.
Detective Muirheid explained to Aiden that the patch he selected was one from a uniform that responded to many calls for service – "most that ended favorably but some that did not."
"This patch is a symbol to me, showing that regardless of our calling in life it is our duty to do the best we can, whatever we do, and along the way we may fade and stitching may snag, but we must continue to move forward," Detective Muirheid wrote.
Just like the patch, the challenge coin gifted to Aiden also had a story. It was a coin used to honor a time Detective Muirheid helped someone. In passing the challenge coin to the first-grader, Detective Muirheid shared what he described as one of the greatest honors passed among members of law enforcement.
When Aiden's teacher learned of the letter, she wanted to share the experience with the class. When Detective Muirheid thanked Aided face-to-face days later, Mrs. Emily Spitzmiller said it was a "positive, inspiring learning experience."
"It allowed for us to learn more about the power of kindness, and we were able to discuss various ways we can do this in our daily lives," she said. "The best part was having Aiden share his personal experiences, because it allowed him to be a leader and pour into his classmates just like he was able to pour into Detective Muirheid."
Mrs. Spitzmiller said it wasn't just a lesson for the children in the classroom. She found herself fighting tears as she felt pride in her student and blessed to have been a part of the moment. She admitted there was value in the exchange for teachers and administrators.
"This may have been a learning lesson for Aiden, but it also taught me a valuable lesson not only of the power of kindness, but reassuring my students that even they can have the biggest impacts on others and their lives, no matter how small," she said.

"I didn't realize I was doing anything to your men or otherwise." She took a step back as he took a step forward.
"Unlikely," he said.
"Why do you doubt me? You don't know me." He had her backed up another step.
"I know enough about you just by watching your actions."
Both his tone and assumption annoyed her. Blast his ice blue eyes. She wanted to look away but that would be giving in. "And I you."
"It's unwise to compare us." He almost had her against the wall between the room of claymores and battle-axes. "But if I were to humor you, what do you mean by that?"
Ah, she had gained ground. "Just that my appreciation for the male species is obviously equivalent to yours for the female."
One corner of his lip pulled up and his eyes flickered over her face until they landed on her lips. "You could only be referring to Emma."
Caitlin willed the fire from her face even as it flooded in. She was as transparent as a newly cleaned window. "I'm referring to the fact that I have as much right to entertain a man as you do a woman."
His hands fell to the wall on either side of her head and Caitlin's breath switched pace. What was he doing? She could duck beneath his arm and escape but would again give him the upper hand. His leaned so close she could make out the little flecks of silver caught in his eyes.
"Our situations are very different," he whispered.
His luscious mouth was within inches of hers and the nearness of his heat began melting the muscles so crucial to holding her legs up. She suddenly rethought things. It'd be best to move away from him. Caitlin sprung into action and dipped to move under his arm.
Too late, the skin on their arms touched. That was all it took.

Yesterday Newsweek ran an article by Sarah Helm about a 24-year-old Palestinian woman's efforts to protect the Noble Sanctuary/Temple Mount in Jerusalem from the incursions of religious Jews who aim to build a temple in the place of the Al Aqsa mosque. Titled The Young Woman at the Forefront of Jerusalem's New Holy War, the piece elicited blatantly-bigoted comments about Muslims that set our hair on end. These comments have been up for a day now, and will surely soon be removed; but they are evidence of the rampant Islamophobia in American public life. The Dana Klein of Trumbull, CT, who describes Palestinians as "towel head … camel humpers" appears from searches to be a real name. Amazing that folks would want to attach their names to such appalling statements.

First Build - The "Nozcaster"
Mike.Mara replied to Norris's topic in In Progress and Finished WorkLooking very nice indeed! Can't wait for more pics...
Lol. Well I'm sure it will pay off in the end! Looking forward to watching them .
Whatever works! If something sounds good, it sounds good. Doesn't matter how it gets there. I like tube amps, but if there's something modelled or SS that sounds good, I'll use it. Does that mean there will be videos soon? .
If you can get it "fresh" I'd say give it a go. It goes a long way, so long I ended up throwing most of it out after using it on many products. I have some of their "black polish" and for some reason that seems to have lasted a lot longer than regular shellac for whatever reason. Lol, seasoned shellac... Maybe use any left over as a crunchy glaze haha. The Peavey Vypyr isn't a terrible sounding modelling amp. Although if you have access to an audio interface, I'd suggest BIAS Amp/FX into a KEMO M032N to a cab. It's what I'm currently using since I'm too cheap to get another 6505... Well, I say cheap, I mean poor. . It's a very reasonable alternative to tube amps and I doubt most people could tell the difference. BIAS is a bit lacking on the gain though, as a previous 5150 owner, you'll know the shear amount of gain available even on 3 on the preamp... With BIAS you'll need it on 7 to get the same amount. Of course it does require you be near a computer/laptop.
Pestle and mortar? On the other hand, there are plenty of coffee grinders on Ebay here for under £15. Hmmm... I may have to get one. Yeah, I've had pre bottled stuff from Liberon, although it works, it stays tacky much longer than it should. Probably because it's been sitting around for the best part of a year before I buy it, then sits here for months. Still works, but not as it should.
Well, I certainly agree that canned stuff isn't the way to go unless you're just going with shellac. It usually has additives to stop it from going bad in the can so they can keep it on the shelf longer. That may be one of the causes. Maybe it's impatience on the part of most people so they buy a can rather than wait for it to dissolve in alcohol. I know that I've been impatient with a lot of finishes in the past and they've either turned out so-so or terrible. You spend more time trying to fix your rushing than it would have taken to do it right in the first place . (I know this all too well.)
Do you think maybe they just washed on the shellac and then before it had dried properly shoved a coat of poly on? I'm still not too keen on the idea... I might ask at the college if they have a room suitable to spray stuff in. I mean they do auto repair and painting and decorating, so maybe. Auto colours are a great idea to look at for finishes, you can pretty much just walk into an auto paint store and tell them the car and get that colour. Speaking of paint, if I were to paint this guitar black, can you recommend any type of paint? I know that most acrylics never truly dry and I don't want to have to re-finish this one too.
Never heard of compatibility issues with shellac and poly so I'll have to ring the manufacturer and ask their opinion just in case! I love the idea of 2K, but anything that recommends you dress like you're about to clean a crime scene I try to avoid lol. And unfortunately I'm not safely set-up for spraying anything flammable or hazardous. If I could afford to I'd outsource the finishing and go with a 2K or something along those lines. But for now at least I'm either french polish or water-based. At least with those it's just respirator, goggles and throw away coveralls if you're being over-cautious. (Respirator and goggles excluded of course.) That's a pretty damn nice bass by the way! Love the sparkle.
I always have shellac on hand... I love the stuff for popping the grain in wood. Makes everything look beautiful. I'll probably be using an acrylic urethane for this build so I'd imagine no problems with compatibility. I'll of course do a test piece though. . 2K scares the hell out of me, wish I could bring myself to use it though. Got a link for the P-Bass?
A wealth of knowledge as always! Cheers!
As a side-note... How would you guys go about finishing poplar? It's extremely fine and close grained, so is a filler still a good idea, or is just a sanding sealer enough?
Progress! Well, some at least... Turns out my less-than-organised workshop has finally bitten me in the ass. I lost my bottom guided bearing bit, so the body is only half-routed. Ohh well, I'll just have to wait for another to arrive, and then clean and organise. Anyways, on to the progress. Template CNC'd, came out just about perfect! And choosing to engrave a centre line this time was the right choice, no faffing around with calipers and a steel rule for an hour trying to line everything up. Body outline on the blank. Rough-cut on the bandsaw: That little dimple? near the neck pocket was a pain to get into with a 1/2" blade. And finally, the top routed to size! Almost got a bit of tear-out near the bottom hip... There's a slight mark where I can see that it wanted to, but fortunately the wood gods were smiling down upon me today and with a tiny bit of sanding it's all going to be OK. Phew! . Poplar is unlike any other wood I've worked, it has a strange way of being extremely smooth in one direction and rough in the other. I'll have to take that into account when sanding to avoid tearing the grain up. Surprisingly heavy too at around 4-5Lbs. Much heavier than I was expecting. Well... Here is where it ended: Due to the lack of the aforementioned bottom guided bit. Or is that a top guided bit when it's in a router table? Anyway, I'm struggling with the decision of whether or not to round over the body... Thoughts? Also, I'm not too sure if I still want the transparent finish on this one as the back really isn't the prettiest and has a few imperfections, but not enough to be a feature. I'm thinking maybe straight black with a purple pearl... But I don't know if that will make it look cheap? Well, there it is for today. Thanks for looking!
Aluminium flat bar is exactly what I was thinking so good to know I'm on the same track.
cnc rebuildLooks fantastic! Your original did too though, so great job both times!
Workholding is a very important safety factor with CNC. Nothing worse than scrambling for your E-stop when things are shaking loose because you thought, "that'll hold". Not to mention if something shifts the time and material wasted.

BioSig's PURE EP Aligned to Take Catheter Ablation Market by Storm in 2018
(FinancialPress) — December 27, 2017 / It hasn't even been 20 years since France's Michelle Haissaguerre first described using catheter ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), a common type of heart arrhythmia linked to strokes. Science has come a long way since then in mapping the triggers of AF, with catheter ablation now a staple in AF management strategies. In fact, it is routine enough today that some studies suggest ablating AF should be the front-line treatment ahead of heart-rhythm drugs, instead of vice-versa, as is typical protocol.
As ablation technology gets even better, there is more support for the ablation-first thesis and companies like BioSig Technologies (BSGM) are shepherding in the next evolution of technology known as bioelectronic medicine. A burgeoning space, the bioelectric market is forecast to rise from $17.2 billion in 2016 to $25.2 billion in 2021. Los Angeles-based BioSig is entrenched in the emerging field, aimed first at improving outcomes for the more than 14.4 million Americans affected by arrhythmias, with the most common being AF and ventricular tachycardia (VT).
An increasing number of diagnoses and a more proactive approach towards ablation underscores estimates that the number of ablation procedures will climb from 865,000 in 2015 to more than 1.3 million annually by 2020. That's 1.3 million Americans that could benefit from the next generation technology of BioSig's PURE EP™ System that provides electrophysiologists performing the procedures clearer signals of the heart tissue to ablate that is at the root of AF and VT. Broadly speaking, the BioSig system filters out noise of conventional systems and accurately covers a broader range of electrical signals. As a novel software/hardware package, PURE EP effectively addresses technical and procedural challenges unlike anything else in ablation procedures today.
The Los Angeles-based company is expecting the FDA to approve the medical device for use in the near term and for commercialization to begin in mid-2018. As human data is added to the body of pre-clinical information collected, BioSig believes its system will gain momentum in the medical community, just like mapping did in the early days.
BioSig Founder, CEO, and Executive Chairman, Ken Londoner, thinks the market is even bigger than at first blush. As he explained to Medgaget.com in June, "There is an estimated up to 6.1 million people in the United States that are atrial fibrillation patients, and only 6-7% of these patients elect to have the ablation procedure performed."
The company is also looking outside the U.S., with plans to have international sales in about three years.
In a regulatory filing on Wednesday, Londoner reflected upon a successful 2017 that included a number of highlights, including positioning for a global footprint by opening an office in Geneva, Switzerland. Also on the international front, the BioSig shareholder base was expanded to include investors from Switzerland, U.K., Ireland, France, Spain, Israel, Qatar, Iceland, United Arab Emirates, and more this year. On the corporate level, BioSig raised $5.5 million at a premium-to-market, hired key staff, and added tech and medical device IP expert Andrew Filler to its Board of Directors. The company also solidified a 10-year collaboration deal with the Mayo Clinic and completed a two-year market development project with Health Research International. As is stares down commercialization of PURE EP, BioSig penned a partnership with Prisma Geneva, a Swiss-based influential advisor, to help with business development in Europe and retained Sherpa Technology Group, a leading IP strategy firm, to strengthen its asset portfolio.
While 2017 may one day be looked at as an inflection point for BioSig, 2018 is aligned be the breakout year. After years of laying the groundwork, clearance from the FDA to sell the PURE EP System would be the biggest accomplishment to date and a true game changer for BioSig.
An FDA green light unlocks value and should provide tailwinds for BioSig, as it paves the way for the first in-man data ever for PURE EP and aligns BioSig to enter the revenue stage by commercializing the system across leading medical centers in the U.S. The company also intends to uplist its stock to the NASDAQ exchange in the future, a move that attracts institutional investors that are forbidden to invest in OTC-listed companies and should help bolster the balance sheet. According to the SEC filing, these are amongst some of the anticipated milestones BioSig is striving for, along with seeking strategic partnerships and building out the pipeline and protecting it with assistance from Sherpa.
To the credit of scientists and for the benefit of patients, multiple advances have been made in ablation procedures in recent years. More developments are on the horizon that essentially keep making the proverbial window clearer that physicians look through during ablation procedures. With better technology comes better outcomes and that could translate to a company maker if the PURE EP System works in humans the way lab studies indicate. For BioSig, that horizon is no longer off in the distance, it's right in front of them.

Obama staging fightback – Economic and political
Fri, Feb 3. 2012
On November 4, 2008, history was made in the United States of America when Barack Obama became the first Black person to be elected as President. He was sworn in during an emotional ceremony on January 20, 2009, watched by hundreds of millions of people worldwide. President Obamaâs term of office ends this year and he is eligible for re-election for a second term when the 2012 Presidential election is held on November 6.{{more}}
Obamaâs election to the highest post in his country did not come easily. Being black, he had to overcome the legacy of racist prejudice which continues to discriminate against persons of colour. In addition, Obamaâs middle name, Hussein, a common one in the Islamic world, but even worse, a reminder of the infamous Saddam Hussein, became a target for bigots trying to smear anything remotely connected with Muslim culture in the aftermath of September 11, 2001. Then, Obama also holds many liberal and even progressive views at a time when right-wing backwardness permeates much of American society.
For all these reasons, plus Obamaâs championing of the underprivileged in American society, a great deal of hostility was invoked against his original campaign. In spite of his convincing victory, that hostility never ceased during his four years in office. With the Republican party taking over the House of representatives and being a blocking minority in the senate, the US Congress became a major obstruction to Obama being able to implement his programme or fulfil his promises to the electorate.
It seemed not to matter that the two successive terms of George Bush had severely weakened the US economy, mounted up huge debts, trapped the country in two costly (both in terms of money and human life) wars. Unemployment was rampant, poverty widespread and the gap between the rich and the poor became an ever-widening chasm. Obama was blamed for all the ills and his racist detractors, raking all the mud they could find from the Florida straits, through the length of the Mississippi and all the way up to Alaska, set out to make him a one-term President. The false legacy they want to portray is that a black President is disastrous for the USA.
Obamaâs hesitancy to firmly confront the enemies of the American people and his waffling in the face of their intransigence did not help either. Many of his strongest supporters began to lose faith and he was soon in political trouble. His opponents became emboldened and donning a robe of pseudo-religion set out on a vicious campaign of lies and calumny. Obamaâs re-election seemed in doubt.
Thankfully, he is leading a fight-back. In his 2012 State of the Union address, Obama exposed the lies and slander. The President pointed out that contrary to Republican propaganda, in the six months before his accession to office, 4 million jobs had been lost in the USA and another 4 million before his policies began to take effect. In the last 22 months, as the US economy tries to shrug off the worst depression for 80 years, 3 million jobs were created.
Flying in the face of reality, his opponents have dubbed him the âFood stamp Presidentâ, implying that he has created more poverty cases than any other President. Yet the facts show that under George Bush, more Americans were added to the list of those requiring assistance through food stamps than under Obamaâs administration. They resolutely oppose his plans for rich Americans to pay a fairer share of the tax burden.
It is on this count that President Obama is demonstrating his mettle. He has made it clear that he is standing firm on this, on support for social programmes in health, housing and education, and in banking reform. Already his party, through Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, has introduced in the Senate a âPay a fair Share Actâ, under which persons earning more than US $1 million annually should pay taxes at a rate of 30 per cent at the minimum, the so-called âBuffett Ruleâ. If enacted, this, according to Citizens for Justice, would bring US$50 billion into the Treasury of the United States.
It is because of such positions for fairness and justice, because racism so blinds the right-wing zealots that they canât bear to see a black person succeed in the highest office in the USA, that such vitriol is being hurled at Obama. It is in the interests of all who believe in fairness, justice and equality that he succeed.

Ajay Devgn is the latest victim of a WhatsApp death hoax
A message did the rounds that the aircraft, Ajay Devgn was travelling in had crashed
Ajay Devgn
Like many other Bollywood stars before, Ajay Devgn was the latest victim of a WhatsApp death hoax. Late Monday night, a message did the rounds that the aircraft Devgn was travelling in had crashed. Another forwarded message said the plane had made an emergency landing. Some received a message stating that the chartered helicopter Devgn was flying in had crashed near Mahabaleshwar.
We don't know who is keen to 'bump off' the star by spreading fake news. But we do know that he is in Mumbai shooting for Akiv Ali's film at Yash Raj studios. When the messages went viral on Monday night, Ajay Devgn was fast asleep at home. On the work front, Ajay Devgn will collaborate with Ranbir Kapoor for Luv Ranjan's yet untitled film. The duo has earlier worked together in Prakash Jha's Raajneeti. Director Luv Ranjan, who made the film, Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety and is known for catching the pulse of younger audiences with films like Pyaar Ka Punchnama series and so on, is collaborating with actors Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor.

isn't multisig a risk since it allows trustless collusion for a (vote) attacker coalition?
Hopefully some cryptopeople who actually know the latest-and-greatest will join the forum.
zack, on this forum, you have proposed perhaps a dozen changes to Truthcoin which you feel are improvements. So far, they have all been largely nonsensical, or outright open the project up to attack. When you take up my "truthcoin time" (about one hour a day) with these questions I cannot use that time to work on other Truthcoin things.

Sophos has launched a new version of its security suite small business edition.
Version 4.0 now contains Sophos SafeGuard encryption and integrated application and device control, to help smaller businesses protect their confidential data. It also includes protection for both Windows and Mac systems, including the latest versions (Windows 7 and Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard).
The company claimed that the application and device control capabilities are built into the anti-virus client, simplifying deployment and management. Depending on productivity or security concerns, the application control functionality allows the IT manager to black- or whitelist the installation and use of a whole host of applications, such as VoIP, instant messaging, P2P, browsers, games and virtualisation applications.
In the case of device control, the administrator also has the option of blocking or allowing end-users from using removable storage devices, optical media, modems and wireless interfaces.
Artur Kocharyan, product manager for small business solutions at Sophos, said: "Small businesses can be devastated by an infection or data breach, and the concern is that many are ignoring the risks rather than dealing with them head on.
"We have listened to our customers, and have not only introduced new technologies to mitigate against data loss, but we've also radically simplified the installation and the management."

Math anxiety in children is very common. The numbers and symbols on the chalkboard seemed to me as enigmatic as Egyptian hieroglyphics. I had been standing at the front of the class for what felt like a week. One by one, the other kids had all put down their chalk and sat back down. I was the last student at the board, and all eyes were on me. That must be why I was sweating so much. Eventually, the teacher told me to sit down.
"Can anyone else finish it?" the teacher asked the class. A girl's hand went up, and she bounded to the front. First, she erased all of my work, and then she wrote out the solution as quickly as writing her name. I felt a lump in my throat and a tear in my eye.
That incident happened in the fourth grade, but it affected me well into my later years. A great math teacher later told me I was suffering from "math anxiety." He told me that being scared of math was common, but often misinterpreted as a deficiency in or dislike of math.
Those days are long past, but often, adults are forced to confront their math anxiety when their children begin their math schoolwork.
Is there a way to make math more bearable for teacher and student? How do you help calm the anxiety?
If you are having problems, try these strategies for yourself and your child:
- Approach the subject with an open mind. My later problems were caused by the fact that I didn't even try because I told myself it was too difficult.
- When you ask for help listen carefully and don't say you "get it" if you really don't.
- SLOW DOWN! Look at the problem and take a moment. Breathe. Often the answer is easier than you think.
- Know your fundamentals. The better you are at arithmetic, the better your foundation. It will greatly improve your ability to solve the problem.
- Acknowledge that some things will be difficult and allow more time to solve them.
- For word problems, write out all of the values given in the question, and read the problem three times.
- There are many great apps available for smartphones. I use DiaMath and Brain Tuner to keep things sharp. It takes minutes a day to keep your math memory mastered.
- Utilize colorful board games, like those at Game Cows, to make math more approachable. Board games are available at a variety of different math skill levels.
- Finally, if nothing seems to help, explore the possibility that you or your student might have a math learning disability called dyscalculia—it's the dyslexia of math.
I chose to stare my math anxiety down and get better at math. Now I read books about math, watch shows about how math can be used to enhance our lives, and have learned that I really enjoy it. Math is as important as our vocabulary. It is the language of numbers and we should be as proficient at using it as our written and oral communication. Take a breath, give it a try and don't be scared.

From Mrs. Henderson in Ohio:
I trust that Our Lady is sending you many graces in this Advent season.
Yesterday we were graced many times over in our rosary rally in Brecksville. A beautiful, clear day, 12 pray-ers plus all of our guardian angels, and many times honking sounds of support from the busy traffic around the town square.
Here are some pictures. Sorry they don't show everyone at once, but you get the general idea.

Jubo League has moved to rid itself of errant elements a day after the two top leaders of Chhatra League lost their posts for controversial activities.
The youth front of the ruling Awami League is going to hold a meeting of its tribunal, and two key leaders of its Dhaka city unit have been summoned to appear before it.
The move follows a stern warning from Prime Minister and AL President Sheikh Hasina at a meeting of the AL Central Working Committee on Saturday night.
The AL chief expressed anger over various allegations against some Jubo League leaders, according to meeting sources.
Hasina didn't mention any name but hinted at Ismail Chowdhury Samrat, president of Jubo League Dhaka (south) city unit, and Khalid Mahmud Bhuiyan, organising secretary of the unit, said the sources.
She warned that she would wipe out errant elements from her party and its front organisations the same way her government dealt with militants, mentioned the sources.
Hasina also said those who are involved in criminal activities and patronise criminals must stop right now.
Earlier on September 7, the AL president at a meeting of the AL Parliamentary Board also voiced resentment over alleged extortion by Jubo League leaders.
Talking to The Daily Star yesterday, Jubo League Chairman Omar Faruk Chowdhury said the tribunal will hold its meeting within a day or two. Samrat and Khalid will be asked to be present there as the AL president expressed anger over allegations against them.
Asked whether the two were given show-cause notices, he said summoning someone to the tribunal is considered as serving show-cause notices.
According to the Jubo League charter, a tribunal meeting is convened to resolve any problem of the organisation and take action against its leaders involved in criminal and unethical activities.
Jubo League sources said the two leaders are going to lose their posts as the AL chief is angry over their "misdeeds".
At Saturday's meeting, the AL chief gave her decision to remove BCL president and general secretary Rezwanul Haque Chowdhury Shovon and Golam Rabbani for their controversial activities.
According to the sources, she resented her party men's various criminal and unethical activities, and said she does not like "excesses".
Yesterday, this correspondent talked to three AL central leaders, and all of them said the removal of two top BCL leaders was a signal from the party president, and that she wants to purge her party and its associate bodies of errant elements.
"The removal of Chhatra League president and general secretary is just the start," said one of them seeking anonymity.
At the beginning of Saturday's meeting, Hasina said she didn't want to celebrate her birthday on September 28 after seeing the agenda of the meeting. Celebrating her birthday topped the agenda.
A couple of party leaders then said they wanted to celebrate the day with festivity.
At one stage, AL Joint General Secretary Jahangir Kabir Nanak, also ex-chairman of Jubo League, informed her that Jubo League already took up month-long programmes, including doa mehfil and discussions, to mark the day.
At this, Hasina angrily said she was very much aware of incidents of "extortion" by some Jubo League leaders, and the celebration of her birthday would be nothing but a veiled attempt to legalise extortion money,said meeting insiders.
"I don't want any doa mehfil to be organised with extortion money," she was quoted as saying by an AL central leader.
Hasina further said she had warned a Jubo League leader to stop extortion but he didn't pay heed to her warning.
The AL president then showed her deputy Obaidul Quader a photo in her mobile phone in which a Jubo League leader was brandishing a gun.
She also showed it to her other party colleagues at the meeting, and said, "Not a single procession was brought out after Bangabandhu's assassination. But now these people are staging showdown with firearms."
One of the central leaders, who attended the meeting, identified the man carrying the firearm as Khalid Mahmud Bhuiyan.
"We have been in power for three consecutive terms. Many people have made fortunes, but the fate of ordinary activists of my party remains unchanged," the leader quoted the AL chief as saying.
The Daily Star yesterday tried to contact Samrat and Khalid over their mobile phones but couldn't reach them.
Saturday's meeting also fixed December 20-21 for the party's triennial council.
At the meeting, Hasina urged her party colleagues to find new leadership for the party.
"The time has come for me to retire. I have to go. You will have to find new leadership for the party," a central committee member quoted her as saying.
She also expressed disappointment at the party high-ups' failure to hold councils of grassroots units, and said a party cannot run this way, mentioned meeting sources.
Yesterday, the AL in a press release said it decided to hold conferences of all expired grassroots units before the national council.
Quader already directed presidents and general secretaries of all district and city units in this regard, and asked them to hold councils of all expired committees by December 10.

So excited to see growing wet towels. There was a Korean bbq buffet but we took the set menu for 4 ($98+) which included 8 panchan (side dishes), seafood pancake, glass noodles, chicken, marinated short rib, pork collar, spicy seafood soup, and fruit dessert.
The panchan was quite original, like the lotus root soaked in a sweet sauce similar to chee cheong fun sauce.
In general, the food was not bad but the winning factor was there was a LOT OF FOOD. Very filling. The meats were good, especially the short rib, well marinated.
The only thing we didn't like was the glass noodles, so salty the Dead Sea was alive compared to it. But the server, who overheard our conversation when barbecuing our food, automatically offered to get us a new plate. The new plate was as salty, hilarious. But the service was good.
While the food was delicious, the quality of ingredients could be improved. But overall, the food was value for money and a good option to eat cheap Korean food in town. There were a Korean manager and Korean patrons in the restaurant, attesting that it was an okay restaurant.

Well, school is finally out for the holidays which means I have a lot of preparation to do for the Christmas visitors! My family is flying in on Sunday with a few of my college friends to spend Christmas in Kenya. It will be quite busy tomorrow because I have to leave town Sunday to pick them up at the Nairobi airport.
But that doesn't mean that I am the only one with visitors this week! Greg and Beverly (the missionary couple I work for) have family visiting as well. It was such a blessing to finally meet them. Their kids are missionaries in Uganda, as well as their mother-in-law, whom I spent quite a lot of time with this afternoon snapping green peas.
Only after I was half way through snapping peas did someone tell me, "don't forget to remove the worms!" Oops. And then that, of course, lead to a conversation where Mama Newton told us about someone on the buss the other day getting out a live, snack bag of termites and eating them while they started flying around the cabin disturbing the other passengers! lol, only in Africa!
I guess you could say I had a wonderful, entertaining day.

His jaw has completely disappeared in this picture
The background bends because of too much photoshop on his shoulders and his jaw has also completely disappeared in this picture
The curtain in the back bends strangely because of too much photoshop on his shoulders, a little bit of blur on his jaw and neck
They even photoshop a press-taken picture..
Another press-taken pictures that they edited
They're really bad at photoshop.. It's better to upload his pictures unedited..
-The more I look at him, the more he resembles Park Hyunbin..
-He's already handsome without all those editings, why do they edit his pictures in the first place..
-What's wrong with them.. His jaw is his biggest charms..
-What the heck.. They're even worse than me when it comes to photoshop.. It's way too obvious, his jaw already looks beautiful without editings..
-They should've left the pictures unedited..
-Seo Kangjoon is originally handsome, I wonder why do they keep on photoshopping his pictures..
-So freaking funny.. Why do they edit his pictures?ㅋㅋㅋ
-They're just really bad at photoshop..ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Look at how the background bends in the picture.. Are they beginner..?
-He looks weird after all those editings his agency did on his pictures..
-They're so bad at photoshop..ㅋㅋㅋ Did they learn photoshop from youtube?ㅋㅋㅋ
-If they were going to photoshop his pictures then at least it shouldn't look this bad and obvious..
-Seo Kangjoon's jaw is charming, though..ㅠㅠ I like it because it makes him look manly..
-Is Fantagio his anti-fan..?
-They didn't even need to fix a thing in the first place, why..
-The original picture looks so much better than the edited one..
-They even edit his shoulders..? That's new..
-It's probably because people always comment about how much he resembles Park Hyunbin whenever an article about him surfaces on internet..

HP ZBook x2 Hands-on: An Artist Tries This Supercharged 2-in-1
Technology and art are intertwined nowadays, but resourceful gurus may possibly demand a number of devices: a tablet to attract on, a Laptop for enhancing and, possibly a Wacom stylus. What if it absolutely was all rolled into 1? HP's new ZBook x2, which the corporate statements is easily the most effective removable about the marketplace, is targeted at letting creatives do all the things on 1 device.
The ZBook x2 will begin at $1,749 when it ships in December, and it's got the specs to back again that cost up. You may get eighth Gen quad-core CPUs or 7th Gen dual-core processors, and significant GPU energy – a device we went fingers on with experienced an Nvidia Quadro M620 – and also around 32GB of RAM. You furthermore may stand up to 2TB of storage, and, maybe most impressively, a 14-inch, 4K matte touch monitor.
I showed the ZBook to at least one of our picture editors, Jef Castro, who's much more proficient from the Adobe Inventive Suite than I could at any time be. His present-day workflow for drawing includes setting up on an iPad and transferring people images to a Mac. But staying equipped to work straight in Photoshop and equivalent apps with no lag or other troubles was spectacular to him, and his favourite portion was the stylus.
The stylus, created in partnership with Wacom, has four,096 degrees of pressure sensitivity on the two the the nib as well as eraser, the latter of which Jef claimed he skipped around the Apple Pencil. The screen also has keys about the sides for programmable shortcuts, and an application by HP helps you to plan independently for every application you may use, from Illustrator to Photoshop and past.
"The ZBook X2's Wacom stylus was a welcome acquainted experience, as I had converted to your Apple Pencil in excess of the last 12 months," Castro claimed. "Having usage of a stress delicate eraser just by flipping the stylus was a little something I was happy to obtain back. The matte finish on the display screen helped eliminate any troublesome glare that may get while in the way whilst drawing. My wrist didn't stay with the screen possibly and glided effortlessly throughout the surface area."
The keyboard attaches to your pill within a comparable fashion for the Floor Pro, nevertheless it connects over Bluetooth. This suggests that you choose to can use keyboard shortcuts from Adobe software package (or other systems) with all the keyboard set to 1 aspect while you draw. An HP rep claims it's the identical keyboard from your ZBook Studio laptop computer, nevertheless it did not truly feel pretty as reliable to be a detachable.
"The Bluetooth keyboard was an exceedingly wonderful touch for accessing my keyboard shortcuts whilst not sensation tethered on the screen," explained Castro.
The ZBook x2 is MIL-STD 810G tested and it is a little bit of the beast in a minimal less than four lbs ., however you can jam it in a very bag without having stress. If you're concerned about warmth, the back again is roofed in vents. It could possibly be a minimal warm if you're going the unit, but all through use the hot air is all blowing away from you Read more
