I've had a headache since noon. By 17:30 my vision was blurry and I was glad to leave work. It was a productive day at work; we're at full staff (2 fellows, 1 resident, 1 consultant) and we had a good team. Sangeet was generous to buy coffees today (it's usually me). I've been showing Christina how to monitor the pelvic MRI so that the interruptions to reporting get shared between three of us, instead of two. We managed to report a lot today and got the list down. Sangeet told tales of days when the list was at zero and you had to fight to report scans. This seemed like myth to me. But, if we continue to report more than are scanned each day we'll make it. If we keep the same rate as today we'll make it by the end of next week.
Dan baked smashed roast potatoes and an interesting poultry roast for dinner. We watched Frasier. As my eyes aren't focussing well (it's probably just a head cold but it feels like my sphenoid sinuses are being eroded from within) I couldn't stare longer at a screen so I walked across Bloor St and bought ingredients for steamed lemon puddings. I still find it odd to be living downtown and seeing other people when I leave the house. It's so busy. I had a fun time preparing the pudding mix, as I was surprised at the consistency of the dough when I was ready to pour it into the ramekins. I'd missed adding the flour and coconut milk so had a gluggy mess of sugar, butter and eggs. The lemon juice, sugar and water syrup seems to have not turned out as a syrup either. I'm not sure how I managed to stuff up something with only three ingredients.

Lewis Smith, Science Reporter and Alexandra Frean, Education Editor, The Times, September 12, 2008:
The education director at the Royal Society says science teachers should treat creationism as legitimate
Creationism should be taught in science classes as a legitimate point of view, according to the Royal Society, putting the august science body on a collision course with the Government.
I happen to agree as I said in a previous post on this topic. And I think we should do the same in the U.S. Let me be clear, I don't accept creationism or ID, but I think that by not allowing free discussion in the classroom we get a high degree of rejection of science. I think if the classroom seems open-minded, then so might the student. Leading scientist urges teaching of creationism in schools – Times Online

Date of Death:
Incident Location:
Ramadi, Iraq
Branch of Military:
Petty Officer 2nd Class
Unit's Base:
A Navy SEAL sacrificed his life to save his comrades by throwing himself on top of a grenade Iraqi insurgents tossed into their sniper hideout, fellow members of the elite force said. Petty Officer 2nd Class Michael A. Monsoor had been near the only door to the rooftop structure Sept. 29 when the grenade hit him in the chest and bounced to the floor, said four SEALs who spoke to The Associated Press this week on condition of anonymity because their work requires their identities to remain secret. "He never took his eye off the grenade, his only movement was down toward it," said a 28-year-old lieutenant who sustained shrapnel wounds to both legs that day. "He undoubtedly saved mine and the other SEALs'' lives, and we owe him." Monsoor, a 25-year-old gunner, was killed in the explosion in Ramadi, west of Baghdad. He was only the second SEAL to die in Iraq since the war began. Two SEALs next to Monsoor were injured; another who was 10 to 15 feet from the blast was unhurt. The four had been working with Iraqi soldiers providing sniper security while U.S. and Iraqi forces conducted missions in the area.

I don't have just a ton to talk about today.
One of the girls here, Ellyn, is having her ten year Westlake anniversary today. They are taking the department to Grand Luxe. I think I may have posted about that before... so I am looking forward to that.
We're doing our normal month end close crazniess...
Conrad is feeling better. He's still at home today, working from there- our weather is pretty bad.... and I think he still needs a day or so to get his strength back. Of course, he should be on a sugar high since I came home last night and he had eaten ALL the brownies. I was so upset! I bought these Little Debbie brownies for him when he was sick Monday night. My grandmother used to get them for me- and he loves them too. We each had one and when I got home yesterday, cooked and ate dinner- I started looking around for a little snack. I opened the pantry and NOTHING. They were GONE! I have no idea how he ate them all up in two days. UGH - so I'm sure that helped him regain his strength.
I don't know why he just won't post, but he wanted me to retract my Valentine's Day statement. He DID buy me a gift last year but he said he did it because I was feeling so bad. I was- I had a terrible cold, had just started my job and was miserable. I didn't even REALLY want to meet him for the V-Day dinner... so he said he only bought me the presents to make me feel better. Retraction PRINTED, Mr. Hopkins.

Please pass this blog on to others who may like to read it
Today we publish a "flash" blog only – its a public holiday here in blog-land.
Commodity prices
Crude had a good week last week, with Brent fairly flat on Friday, but up ~4% for the week, closing at US$40.39. WTI did even better, finishing ~7% for the week at its Friday close of US$38.50.
The IEA's monthly report was generally bullish in tone – sort of signalling the "worse is over". Others disagree – e.g. Goldman Sachs – who consider that the reality of high inventories cannot be ignored and that US$40 oil might encourage production to come back too soon.
The BHI weekly rig report continued to decline – with a reduction of 6 oil rigs and 3 gas rigs. This metric will no doubt be closely watched by vampire squid types to see if US$40 oil does in fact bring on new activity.
Henry Hub had a strong week (from a very weak base), closing up ~9% at US$1.82.

"The idea that the next stage in human evolution lies in drugs is not new. Long have philosophers and psychoscientists speculated on the effects of certain drugs on the human mind. The ability of the human consciousness to surpass certain obvious limiters and create a new perception of reality under altered states of existence is nearly unique to us Humans. Animal testing on the subject has borne little fruit.
Man has even speculated that art, all art, All of it. Draws out from a single source. Our deeper unconscious mind perhaps provides a gate or a portal to this source, a much obscured and hard to access doorway. A part of the human mind which we can only touch briefly during sleep or when one attains a unique state of living, a higher spiritual enlightenment. And one can perhaps briefly touch this source by the tainted hand of the junkie. But street psychedelics are a dirty, slippery shortcut. They are not the guidestones to the path of the Gods. Not the Soma, that was released to mortals as one of the treasures of the ocean.
Of course, Soma itself is a myth. A fable of the old days. The fourth Age of man is an age of reason not Myths and legends. Our swargas and narkas are both created here on Prithvi. All the roads that lead to Swarga are closed to us mortals. We are bound to this reality with chains of the soul.
Or so we were led to believe.
What we have been trying to achieve here is a unity with the human subconscious. A complete melding with the dark recces of the human mind. An awakening if you will. And discover for ourselves what knowledge…past present or future lies there hidden from us.
We already have the tools for it. The physical manifestation of this transformation is already among so many humans. They have termed it 'cancer' and vowed that it is something to destroy. The fools do now yet know. They kill their own bodies trying to kill a disease, which we know to be something else. A chance at something greater. A chance at destiny. We do not know what the complete transformation will be. But my fellow researches assure me the physics involved with complete transformation is sound. Gods willing, we will be ushers of a new age for mankind."
Prof. Vishvanathan Swami

The Human Frontier
Act I
This was supposed to be my epic trip. This was supposed to be the epic trip to end all epic trips. Hell, I had even planned to put out. Stone temples under the red sunset, as a river lazes all around us casting beaches of red and white sand. We were on a beach dammit. It was perfect. Things couldn't have been more perfect.
What did you do Rakim, what did you do?
There is no beach, no river, no stone temples. All around her, as far as the eye can see is a blank whiteness. As if the world has been erased. She rises up, unsteady. Her head feels like its about to split open. She saw something no human can see. Something she cannot understand. They were by the river. Rakim had been tripping on some shrooms, and so had she. So when he suddenly got up and started staring at the river she followed. He touched his finger to the river and a glow pulsed out. A resonating light so golden, so warm…all enveloping. A golden wave, calming all the waters of the river as it rippled across its surface from his finger.
Some trip.
He turned to look at her a moment. He was grinning, oh but his eyes. Even then she knew he was gone, her Rakim was gone. Twin stars burned fierce where his eyes used to be. He turned back to face the river. All five fingers this time. And this time she heard it. A harmony played on the scales of reality. Sounds distant and alien resounded as his fingers tapped the surface of the river in a mesmerizing sequence. Golden ripples shifted out onto land, into the air, over her. And he changed, he transformed. A halo bright as sun formed behind his head. His skin darkened, transformed, changed its hue. Lines glowing with power emerged all over his body marking it in strange patterns. The next time he looked at her was the last. And this time she could not recognize him at all. This was not Rakim, this was no mortal. He spoke something, in a voice that nearly made her ears bleed.
She fell back, screaming in pain. He lost interest in her and looked up defiantly at the skies. His mouth opened in a silent roar and a ball of solid energy coalesced above it. Growing brighter and brighter until she was nearly blinded by it.
Finally he roared. The ball exploded. The world ended. Only the white blankness remained.
She was walking now, she did not know where she was walking but she was walking on instinct. And it felt like she was going in the right direction. It all looked the same, no matter where she looked, panic began to set in. But from nowhere as if sent to guide her, came butterflies, blue butterflies flying in the nothingness of the void hurrying like she was to what they felt was the way out. Following them she came to the edge. The place where the blank void and the real world overlapped. She saw the fabric of reality torn apart. An edge in space, where flowing water and falling sand are frozen in time. On one side was the world she knew, and on the other the blank eternal void. Dazed she stepped through the void and back onto solid ground. However she was not alone here. Men in black, silent and omnious were all around here. Some were taking readings at the edge, others were armed with outlandish weaponry. She heard a soft voice behind her.
"Neutralize her."
Neutralize? Wait? What?
"She is a dormant."
Another voice, one of the shadows stepped forward become a woman. A beautiful woman.
"And she is keyed in to the Awakening. We will be able to track him through her."
"Field recruitment is not a matter of common policy Major, she is a witness to an awakening. Protocol is clear on the subject. She must be neutralized."
"That was a real God Class, Colonel. The area of the overlap is big enough to wipe out a small town. What happens when the next one awakens in Delhi? This kid survived it. She survived the void, the reality overlap and re-sequencing. To survive something like that means she is a dormant. And if we wish to have any hope of putting down the God Class that has just awakened, we need her. I need her, to track it down. So Colonel, as you have yourself told me. Every rule has its own exception.
"…this was a real God Class wasnt it…"
"We are totally fucked. Fine take her, she is your responsibility. You feed her, you train her. She cant be dead weight."
The man with the mechanical eye turned and melded back into the shadows. The woman turned to her and smiled. She felt warmth return to her legs.
"Hey there, I know you have had a helluva time and you would have a lot of questions. But save them for later ok? Here we have a job to do. Alright, welcome to Establishment 22."
"Clear the perimeter, the containment field is eroding fast. Reality will break through in fifteen seconds."
She grabbed her hand and dashed, the other shadows did the same. As she was being dragged away the void came into perspective. It looked like a giant sphere of white nothingness, somehow overlapping reality itself. But reality is a bitch and does not take shit like getting overlapped lightly. Nature will not allow such a gross asymmetry to exist for long. True to the prediction, reality broke through. The earth rumbled and shifted beneath their feet, the wind groaned as it swirled and rushed to fill the void, the waters of the river were churned to a boil. She saw land, water and air rush through and whirl into the void. To fill it up, until it was obliterated. Things went back to normal, yet not quite. The missing parts creating a disjoint visible to the keen eye. Rising up from the chaos a call was made to check if everyone was alright.
" Hey…Im Sana, hope you are alright."
"I…Im Cija..what the hell did I just see…"
"Haha, uhh well…what you just saw was Mother Nature getting pissed off. Heheh..uhm. That was reality rushing back to seal the rift. But it kills the earth a little every time it has to do this. I know this will sound really confusing. Well I suppose I should start by telling you. The world is ending."

4) Jubair bin 'Abdullah said: I saw a man approaching Wahhab bin Manbah saying to him: "There is someone who backbites you" so Wahhab replied: "Did not the Shaytaan find anyone else but you to muck with and make him look like a fool?" Then it was just moments after that and the man came so he welcomed him and treated him kindly.
5) Hatim bin al-'Asim said: "If a respectable good man sits with you, you would be watching every word you utter so that you do not say something wrong. Yet, you know that your words are watched by Allâh but you still do not watch the words you utter!
6) Abû Haiyân at-Tamimi narrated from his father saying: "I saw the daughter of ar-Rabî' bin Khaytham asking his permission to go and play so he replied to her: "go and utter nothing but goodness."
7) A man backbitten someone while he was in the presence of Ma'rûf al-Karkhî so Ma'rûf said, warning the man about the danger of backbiting: "keep in mind, always, the time when they put pieces of cotton in your eyes, referring to his death"
8. A man told Amr bin al-'Ubaid: al-Aswârî still backbites you and mentions you with no good, so Amr replied: "You did not fulfill the trust of the man when he let you sit with him since you told us what he said furthermore, you did not fulfill my rights upon you when you told me what I dislike to hear about one of my brothers. However, advise him that death will happen to all of us, the grave will hold us inside and the judgment day will gather us and then Allâh will be the judge between us and he is, truly, the most just wise judge.
9) Al-Mu'âfî bin Maran once was asked: "what do you say of a man who writes poetry?" He replied: "it is his life so let him waste it if he wishes the way he likes!"
10) Ibn 'Abbas (RA) said: There is no word that son of Adam utters without being written, even the pain humming he makes because of his sickness. So when Imam Ahmad was sick he was told that Tâwûs disliked pain humming of sickness so Imam Ahmad stopped doing so, although the pain was great.

Larry Speaking On:
Coming Out
Generational Effects
I'd Like You to Know
Identity and Awareness
Mental Health
Mentoring and Support
Spirituality and Religion
No[, I was not raised religiously]. We were Episcopalians but . . .
I think that I very much believed in God when I was 12. I prayed, from age 12 until age 29, that I would somehow be cured [of homosexuality].
I will say that religion probably helped me. I had a subscription to Guidepost magazine, which is a Christian magazine. [In] one of them, somebody had written into Guidepost saying, "I'm not pretty," or "I'm not smart," or something, and "Why can't God help me?" They wrote back, "God made you the way you are. You have to accept yourself." They weren't talking about gays. But that actually really helped me, because I thought, "You know, I've tried for years. I even went to a psychiatrist. I've tried everything." So Christianity actually helped me come out. As soon as I came out, my amount of religiousness went way down. But it probably helped me come out, because that Guidepost—which ironically I'm sure wouldn't have said that about gay people—but it allowed me to accept myself.
***[Besides EMCC], there were no accepting churches in '85. None that I am aware of—except possibly the Unitarians. None of them were accepting at that time. Now there are so many accepting churches that there is many alternatives to MCC. I didn't go for religious purposes. I frankly went to meet nice people. It was definitely a good thing for me, because I was not into the one night stands.
In the bars, it was a division [between men and women], because men wanted to dance with men and women wanted to dance with women, so . . . But when you went to MCC you didn't see that. I mean, I hugged the women, I hugged the men, you know, socialized. So MCC was a great place for that.
I came when [Austin Amerine] was in the twilight of his work. The thing I remember the most favorably was he had a sermon called "The Lamb That Liked Purple Grass." It was the most beautiful thing. My friend and I were talking. We wished that we'd recorded it, because he told a story about the lambs were put out to eat the grass. One lamb liked to eat the purple grass. So all the other lambs hated him and said, "You're weird." I still almost want to cry when I tell it, because at the end of the story, this poor lamb is all by himself. He's been ostracized by all the other lambs because he ate purple grass. And something like Jesus . . . again this seems more religious, but from the beauty of it, Jesus said, "I love you as much as my other lambs. You're a little . . . you're different, but I love you. I love all my lambs." Or something . . . It was a beautiful, beautiful sermon. That's my happiest memory of Austin Amerine.
Bob Cooke was one of the founders of MCC. He knew Austin Amerine intimately and Bob has been an outstanding influence on the gay community, in my opinion—and has been, really, for 25 years. He's done unbelievable things, including he was one of the founders of MCC church. He found housing for Austin Amerine. He did a lot for the church.
Unfortunately after Austin [Amerine] left [the EMCC], it went through all kinds of different ministers and it seemed to—and maybe I sound like a conservative—but it seemed to cater to some very strange people. I am very accepting of some of that, but it got so strange: to the point that it was hard to sit through a session, because they'd let somebody go up in front of the church and just talk on and on about what they were thinking about that day. So it kind of lost its leadership.

As an artist agent I get asked OFTEN about what styles are 'they' looking for…what will sell…what subject matter is 'best' to do in samples etc. While I can make recommendations, and do (see 'Articles' on my site) , I more often will tell the would-be-repped artists to go study the books in bookstores (current) and figure out themselves what THEY 'should' be doing. It's a process that is truly individual…and personal.
This reminds me of a chance comment I made a few years ago while having lunch in NYC with two editors. They were admiring one of my artists and I said that she seemed to create from 'the inside out.' As if her artistic inside self was brought into the outside world for us to enjoy! It was this quality that made her work stand out…feel 'real' and comfortable and especially 'right.' One of the editors immediately looked excited about those words I'd used. She hadn't known how to express the quality she'd seen in some special artists works that appealed to her. This 'from the inside out' comment of mine seemed to make so much sense to her. We went on about other artists who intuitively went deep inside themselves to find their characters, their color palettes, their unique sense of the world and it's stories. Some times we will see this in sketches, or sketch books…a repeated character or series of things that just jump out at us. Something that obviously speaks to the artist. These are the things an artist 'should' be doing because they are from a place others do not have access to.
So I want to suggest to all artists in our industry (or any artists anywhere!) that you need to study books, and draw a lot from life, and think in 'story' with your characters and scenes. Do samples that show character development in several scenes of the same characters. Show interaction between characters. Do various aged and ethnic characters. Do adults and animals, interiors and exteriors, different perspectives of scenes. Play with color and art materials and digital as well. But more importantly you need to feel and look and create from your 'inside out.' Discover and own that ability to find your personal world view and your work will improve on its own. I and buyers will see that you have the confidence and comfort of YOUR LOOK, and they too will have the confidence to remember and to hire you.

If you have been lied to and especially by someone close to you then you were probably wounded. It is usually not something that heals overnight.
People are going to let you down. People might shred you to pieces. They might claw your eyes out and then try to pretend it never happened.
When you have been there, that is where the sweet TRUTH couldn't taste or sound better. Do you have 7 minutes for some sweet truth? Just 7 minutes.

Today I am sharing with you an excerpt from You Can Win by Shiv Khera. This book is a worldwide bestseller and has helped many people transform their life.
"A young man asked Socrates the secret to success. Socrates told the young man to meet him near the river the next morning. They met and Socrates asked the young man to walk with him toward the river.
When the water got up to their necks, Socrates took the young man by surprise and pushed him under the water. The boy struggled to get out but Socrates kept him there.
When the boy started turning blue, Socrates raised the boy's head out of the water. The first thing the boy did was to take a deep breath of air. Socrates asked, "What did you want the most when you were under water?" The boy replied, "Air." Socrates said, "That is the secret to success. When you want success as badly as you wanted air underwater, you will have it." There is no other secret. This is called the burning desire."

In what way "not as capable"? SoX is certainly easier to script as it is designed as a command line application.
Yeah, exactly...Sox seems to provide exactly the sort of command line functionality that I need. The sad thing though is that when I compare the final result of using Audacity vs Sox for several of my audio files it seems that the Audacity algorithm does a noticeably better job.
Thank you!!
I examined the source code for Noise Reduction in sox, and it mentions that its algorithm for noise reduction was borrowed from Audacity! But an older version of it surely before noise reduction was much improved in version 2.1.0.
That's really interesting and good to be aware of. Thank you very much for the information!

Ah the sweet smell of controversy and drama (such a nice change from the stench of Marsh Creek). Those who keep up with what passes as local news might remember the kerfuffle when a local resident spotted tourists picking up rocks along the Harbour and called the city to complain about the lack of signs identifying the area as a melting pot of ickiness.
Signs went up and tempers flared. Okay, they didn't really flare, but they sizzled slightly.

All products were by Stampin' Up! and I began by stamping up a full sheet of very vanilla cardstock with some of the images from Reindeer Print (2005 Holiday Mini) and the snowflake from Holiday Tag Time. Ink colors used are real red, certainly celery, always artichoke, more mustard and so saffron. The key to doing a OSW is not to be afraid to fill up the entire cardstock. When stamping the small snowflake, holly and greeting I stamped each two or three times before reinking so there would be subtle shading differences. This is what a sheet looked like after stamping, and before cutting:
I used certainly celery for the card base, cutting and folding for a normal 4-1/4" wide x 5-1/2" high card, then scored the front at 2-1/8" and folded it back towards the left hand side to create a tri-fold card.
Next, I used my Fiskars paper trimmer to cut 2" x 5-1/4" strips in real red, then cut the OSW pages to 1-7/8" x 5" -- I kept these pieces in order as I cut them so that, when I adhered the stamped vanilla pieces to the red panels, split images would match up on opposing panels (see example top right in next picture). I attached the vanilla strips to the red panels, working in pairs and with the inside edge of each panel flush so that they matched up when adhered to the certainly celery base (see bottom example of next pic).
At this time I also cut 1-1/2" strips of 1/4" wide red grosgrain ribbon, which were adhered about 2" from the top of the left hand side of the OSW strips.
Setting those aside, it was time to cut squares for matting. The very vanilla are 2" square, the certainly celery 2-1/4" square, and the real read 2-1/2" square. Trees from Reindeer Print were then stamped in center of very vanilla square using real red ink, then were mounted on the celery square, and then the red.
Next came the tricky part -- centering the image. Mono-adhesive was applied to the left side only of the square image, then centered on the card. This had to be done carefully to ensure that the mono did not stick to the right side of the card, or it would not open. Here is the final product:

This Obscure Corner of London Finance Is Suddenly a Key BattlegroundBy and
Clearing loss may lead to erosion of London finance: lawyer
ECB has already tried once to strip London of euro clearing
An obscure back-office function intended to bring more stability to trading has emerged as a pawn in the post-Brexit battle for London's financial-services industry.
There are signs the U.K. is readying its defenses now that French and German officials have already targeted the industry. Clearing, which acts as a firewall against defaulting traders, has boomed since the 2008 financial crisis. Britain's vote to leave the European Union could endanger the thousands of jobs at the clearinghouses and their member banks if other countries follow through on their threats to repatriate euro clearing after Brexit.
Clearing, along with bank access to the EU, are key pillars supporting the 2 million workers in the U.K.'s financial industry, says Davis Polk & Wardwell's Michael Sholem.
"A gradual erosion over 10 to 15 years is likely if those pillars are knocked away," said Sholem, European counsel at the law firm. "There's a question about how much of that can be replaced by new markets."
Banks and brokers may choose, or even be required, to move some staff and operations closer to any clearing firm that leaves the City of London, weakening the foundations of one of the U.K.'s biggest private industries and its biggest source of corporate tax. Bankers including JPMorgan Chase & Co.'s Jamie Dimon and HSBC Holdings Plc's Stuart Gulliver have warned that Brexit may move force them to move jobs out of London.
For an explanation of how Brexit threatens London's clearinghouses, click here.
The City's main lobbying group published a report on Aug. 3 setting out how the financial district could protect itself after Brexit. TheCityUK said London's clearinghouses should start handling emerging-market currencies and make more of their processes electronic. Both measures would help reinforce London's position, the report said.
The European Central Bank tried years ago to require euro trades to be cleared in the euro area, prompting a successful legal challenge by the U.K. In the days after the referendum, France's President Francois Hollande warned that London would not be allowed to continue clearing euro trades from outside the EU.
It's a fat prize. London's clearinghouses hold about $174 billion of cash and bonds as collateral against their members defaulting, compared with Frankfurt's $62 billion and Paris's $25 billion. About 700 people are directly employed by London's clearinghouses.
To wrestle euro clearing from London, the remaining EU members would have to change treaties to give the ECB the necessary power, says LSE chief Xavier Rolet.
"That is not impossible, but I would say at this moment, there is no immediate threat from that standpoint," Rolet said today on a conference call.
But if clearing does go, "there would be a knock-on effect" for moving other jobs, says Raoul Ruparel, co-director of Open Europe, an independent think tank.
After the financial crisis, the world's largest economies mandated clearing for many derivatives contracts. London's LCH Group, part of LSE, was already the largest clearer for interest-rate swaps; efforts to make derivatives safer have only increased its market share.
Daniel Maguire, who runs the swaps business at LCH Group, spends his day ensuring that LCH's member banks have supplied sufficient collateral to cover the risk taken by their clients.
Maguire was there when Lehman Brothers collapsed in 2008, back when LCH was the sole clearinghouse in London. (Now there are three others -- ICE Clear Europe, LME Clear and CME Clearing Europe.) In the aftermath, his team worked 18-hour days to stop the bank's $9 trillion of cleared interest-rate swaps, denominated in five currencies, from wreaking havoc throughout the market.
Two metro stops away from LCH, Iain Greig keeps an eye on the metals market.
One column of a giant wall-mounted computer screen changes from green to amber to red to purple, showing each member's level of risk. In the event of a default, the office serves as the "war room" for LME Clear, the clearinghouse of the London Metal Exchange. Greig, the chief operating officer, and Chris Jones, the chief risk officer, gather their key lieutenants and start closing down the financial firm's trades. It takes days or even weeks.
In a clearinghouse, bankers and operations teams move funds between the clearinghouse and its members and back again. Risk managers run the show, deciding on risk thresholds and monitoring members.
"It's important to have people who have a risk mindset," Maguire says. "The core purpose of a clearinghouse is to manage risk. Clearing requires a certain level of expertise, but certain elements can be taught."
Algorithms perform many of the risk calculations at clearinghouses, but humans are still essential. In the war room of LME Clear, numbers turn from green to amber as the amount of risk taken by a client account climbs above half of the collateral held. The field turns red when it breaches 80 percent. At 100 percent, it turns purple. That's when humans take over.
"If we need to make a margin call, a human does that," says Adrian Farnham, LME Clear's chief executive officer. "The risk team will establish whether a call needs to be made."
The 10-strong operations team asks one of LME Clear's 13 settlement banks for additional collateral -- known as initial margin -- which arrives at the derivatives clearinghouse within a couple of minutes or up to an hour.
The handling of a major default is the ultimate test. The price at which a trade has been executed is guaranteed, but only "as long as the clearinghouse is still there," says Diana Chan, the CEO of equity clearinghouse EuroCCP.
Clearing's role in preventing market contagion after Lehman, the only major default in recent decades, has helped put the industry on the map, Maguire says.
"The successful close out of the cleared swap portfolio contributed to the view that clearing could be a positive force in the market," he said.

"A wonderfully relaxing countryside retreat."
Tim and Abby are two of the most lovely people you could care to meet. Fun, upfront, helpful and natural. There's no facade of a polite rental host just doing their job, but rather a genuine love for what they do and a sincere welcome to their beautiful part of the countryside. Their accommodation is clean, well equipped, comfy, spacious and with fantastic views of Herefordshire that stay with you long after driving home. People are lovely in this nook of the country. And so is the scenery. What's not to love? Oh, and if you're lucky there might just be a freshly baked cake and a homemade loaf of bread waiting for you. Hurrah!
Owner's reply: Wow what lovely comments! We are so pleased you had a good anniversary in Brinsop and that it lived up to expectations. We really enjoyed having you around and hope you will come back and see us again.
"A hidden gem"
We loved our stay at the White House. Our cottage,the Cider Press was very clean and comfortable. There were nice touches such as fresh flowers in the rooms and a very substantial welcome pack which included amongst other things, a home-made cake,bread and marmalade. On arrival we were met by the very friendly owners for whom nothing was too much trouble.They provided a wealth of information about the area and suggestions of days out. Hereford,Ludlow and the Black and White Villages trail are well worth a visit,all of which are nearby. After a day of sightseeing it was lovely to relax in the grounds of the White House and watch the abundant wildlife around the lake. We would definitely recommend a stay at the Cider Press.Truly first class!
Owner's reply: Thank you for your very kind comments. We loved having you to stay and are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We hope you will return soon.
The Cider Press is an excellent self catering apartment. We had plenty of space and the furnishings were very comfortable. The owners live in the attached house and they were very friendly and most helpful. There is a very large and beautiful garden which guests can use. Brinsop is about 7 miles from Hereford and can be reached by a very convenient hourly bus if you do not want to drive. This is such a beautiful place but it is an easy drive to places of interest such as Ledbury, Hay on Wye and, close by, a National Trust property called The Weir. I think this is possibly the best self catering place we have stayed in and we would strongly recommend The Cider Press to anyone thinking of a holiday in Herefordshire.
Owner's reply: Thank you for taking the time to give us such positive feedback. We really enjoyed your week with us and hope to welcome you back to stay at some point in the future.
"Just as lovely as the cider press 2, Beauitful"
This is a lovely place to stay, lovely and clean, decorated beautifully. The location is amazing, with horses, ducks, swans and dogs in the grounds. so relaxing, the only thing I would say, which is the only little downfall, is that if your 6"2 or bigger you will hit your head on the ceiling and have trouble in the shower, and that's only because its an old cider press, so it has character and charm.
"Hereford Hospitality"
The Whitehouse, Brinsop, is probably in probably one of the most gorgeous and relaxing settings in Hereford. The guesthouse overlooks a beautiful pond and has a mountain view. The cottage dates back to medieval times and really feels historical but it is also equipped with a modern shower and excellent kitchen facilities. The historical little church of St. George's Church is only a few minutes' walk away and the setting is perfect for long walks with family and friends. We arrived at the Whitehouse as strangers and left as friends. The owners', Tim and Abbi's, hospitality was the most extraordinary element of our stay. We'll return in a heartbeat!

I'm autistic and people often accuse me of being unaware of the feelings of others, but if you want real honest to god sheer ignorance of the feelings of anyone. Point out to an ignorant privileged person that they said something hurtful/bigoted/harmful to a minority and watch the shitty asshole mental gymnastics begin:
First: Intention.
Intention is not magic, just because you don't intend what you say to be hurtful, bigoted or harmful doesn't magically make you not hurtful, bigoted or harmful.
Because you don't get to control the emotions of everyone who hears whatever shitty thing you said and once you put your words out there, you can't control the impact they have no matter what you intended. When you say something horrible and argue that it isn't horrible because you didn't intend it to be? You are behaving like a spoilt pouting child. Only a child responds to harming another with a demand that the world cater to only your viewpoint and treat your viewpoint like the only one with value and reality, especially when you're privileged and said something bigoted to a minority said bigoted thing impacts.
I don't care if your intentions are so pure that angels would weep. I care about the harm your words do and good intentions are not a guarantee of being completely not harmful.
If your intentions were honestly *that* good? You'd be aghast at having cause unintentional harm rather than denying and defending it. When you go into full on defend and deny mode, I know your only intention is to look good, not to be good. I know you're more concerned with defending yourself than with not doing harm.
Secondly: Experience,
If you do not have a direct experience with the oppression you just reinforced by saying horrible things?
You are not in any position whatsoever to assert that a minority person you just harmed doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about, especially when your only experience is as a *privileged* person experience privilege in that realm.
There is a world of difference looking in from a position of privilege and having a direct experience with oppression. When you belittle our experience by claiming we don't knowour own oppression and exert your privilege, you are not being a good person, you're being an asshole.
Thirdly: Being an asshole,
If you still insist on doing the first two shitty types of behaviour? Don't follow up with the third and shittiest of the denial trifecta, the assertion that a person's minority status makes them unstable, inappropriate or otherwise sub-normal for objecting to whatever shitty fucking thing you said.
Mentally ill people and/or disabled people do not need to see their specialist or to have their carer come and "get them under control" because they challenged you over some shitty bigoted thing you said. A PoC is not "pulling the race card" because they called you on saying shitty racist things. A woman is not "hysterical" because she didn't find your rape joke funny.
If you do any of these three ways to be an asshole after you've said shitty stuff, go fuck yourself, if you do all three, go sodomize yourself with a sandpaper dildo soaked in ghost peppers until you are no longer a complete fucking tool.

Mary Wakefield, administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration, has been named acting deputy secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. She becomes second in command at the agency.
In a letter to colleagues announcing the move, HHS Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell wrote, "She has ably led HRSA and its 1,800 employees through a time of marked transformation. She has improved access to health for millions of patients, strengthening America's health care workforce, and modernized HRSA's organizational infrastructure."
A nurse by training and a longtime rural health advocate, Wakefield has led HRSA since 2009.
Burwell noted that Wakefield becomes one of the highest ranking nurses in the federal government.
"Mary has been an extraordinary partner in the quest for better health for all Americans," said Georges Benjamin, APHA executive director. "We are thrilled for her as a nurse and as an advocate for improving health for vulnerable populations that she will continue to help guide the important work before us."
Wakefield takes over the post in the wake of departing deputy secretary Bill Corr. Jim Macrae, who now serves as associate administrator for primary health care, will become acting HRSA administrator.
To read a recent Q&A with Mary Wakefield, visit the February 2015 issue of The Nation's Health.


text: show your ability to critically read, write, and think; organize and structure thought; have a clear thesis that is plainly and solidly supported by textual evidence and your reasoning; and write an academic paper following the appropriate rules of grammar and mechanics. Your task is to write a literary analysis of the novel I Am Legend. You are free to use outside texts as well as any lecture notes, and use them in your analysis. One specific thing to look at is how Matheson has taken traditional vampire myths and folklore and has given scientific explanations for them, thus creating a "twist" on the myth, a new interpretation of the vampire legend. Pay close attention to the book's Plot, Characters, Setting, Imagery, and Themes. You should ask yourself why Matheson took the approach with the vampire story he does, how effective he is, and why this is a good example of horror. IF you use outside sources as part of your analysis, BRIEFLY summarize any theoretical ideas which you will apply to the novel. Be concise. You will then apply these theories to I Am Legend and analyze it as a literary work, discussing the novel as both a novel and as an example of horror. Make sure to use SPECIFIC quotes and passages from I Am Legend to support your claims. You cannot say, "Matheson's novel is a good example of the vampire legend," and leave it at that. Show all aspects of C/S/R. Here are some writing ideas: What makes I Am Legend a good example of horror? What makes Neville a sympathetic Character? What elements make I Am Legend relevant to 21st century audiences? Explain the significance of the book's title. Why is Neville "Legend"? What Plot devices does Matheson use to make I Am Legend different than other vampire stories? How does Matheson put a twist on traditional vampire legends and give a new and unique, scientific basis for the vampire?

Okay! I have a major decision to make! This decision is career altering, and it could mean big changes for my life and the life of my kids. I have the opportunity to get a second masters degree that would allow me to move into a different position. Pros: More money. Cons: Working 12 months instead of summers off with my kids.
Actually there are many pros and cons to taking on this new degree. The problem seems to be that I just don't know what to do.
I am not making a decision between a sin-filled path or righteous path. That would be easy. I can see opportunities for God to work through my life with either choice. I have prayed about it, but I haven't heard or felt an answer for or against either choice.
So what do we, as Christians, do when we are faced with major decisions? We wait, patiently. I know, you are probably reacting the way I did by trying to dismiss that as a bad idea.
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 (KJV)
We seem to have in our head that in order to do God's work or follow God's path, we have to act and act now! That isn't always the case. Remember, God's timing is perfect.
As for my decision, I will wait. I won't make a decision yet. I will continue to pray and wait for the Lord to give me my answer. It will come, eventually!

Honda Civic 2017 Review
Regular readers of my blog will know that we are currently in the process of looking for a new car. With baby number 2 imminent, we need a car with more space to fit two large car seats & a pushchair system. I have been doing lots of research and think I may have found the answer…
Honda Civic 2017 10th Generation
I've always been a fan of Honda ever since the Civic 7th-gen Type R was released. It takes me back to my teenage years when my friend would drive me about in one. It was comfy, looked 'cool' and went pretty damn fast when needed.
Now? I'm looking for a family car. A family car with lots of space, is reliable, SAFE, can still go pretty quick when needed & is stylish.
So how does it stack up as a family car?
The new interior is much bigger than previous Civics, with glass roofs giving a panoramic view of the car's surroundings. And the boot? The boot is BIG! There is an incredible 420 litres of boot space – perfect for a larger pram. Also, if you lower the back seats, this space increases to 1, 580 litres! There is also underfloor storage which is a bonus when you have lots of 'baby bits' to pack in your car.
Legroom in the back is plentiful & the front is roomy, with even more extra storage spaces.
A family car needs to be comfortable, especially if you plan on taking longer journeys. The driver seat is ergonomically positioned, with a low seat & a higher gear stick. This is designed to give the driver extra comfort & control. The seat is designed to ensure plenty of support for the driver's back & thighs, something which is really important to me as I often suffer with lower back pain.
Furthermore, Honda have introduced a suspension system with adaptive dampners meaning the car 'soaks up' the bumps & potholes both at speed or on slower city roads.
Honda Sensing Suite©
The new Civic comes with the market-leading Honda Sensing Suite© technology – a series of driver assisted technologies to increase safety. This includes:
- Lane Departure Warning System
- Lane Keeping Assist System
- Road Departure Mitigation System
- Adaptive Cruise Control
- Collision Mitigation Braking System
- Forward Collision Warning System
These extra technologies would certainly help give me more peace of mind when driving.
Apple Car Play / Android Auto
The Civic's dashboard links up to a range of Smartphones so you can listen to music on the go. I love this feature & currently use something similar in my own car – great with Spotify & nursery rhymes to keep little ones entertained!
Climate Control
Whatever the weather, the climate control system ensures the car is always set at the right temperature, keeping all the family comfortable.
The Civic has been released with 2 powerful petrol engine sizes: a 129ps 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbo and a more potent 182 ps1.5-litre four-cylinder option.
The 1.0 litre engine is fast enough for most people, while the 1.5 is super quick!
Economically, the 1.0 is the most fuel efficient with trials coming in at just 55mpg. The 1.5 came in at 48mpg. In terms of emissions, the 129ps engine emits as little as 110g/km of CO2, in VED band B, whilst the 182ps is capable of just 133g/km, in VED band E. There is also rumours of a hybrid version coming soon!
Safety is my top priority when looking for a family car. I've already mentioned about the Honda Sensing Suite© available with the car – a brilliant safety feature that would help give me peace of mind. The Civic also comes with 6 airbags and a stability control system. This means that the system can reign in the engine's power & brake individual wheels if it feels like the car is sliding.
Not as cheap as some of its rivals (think VW Golf, Seat Leon, Vauxhall Astra etc.), but does hold its value.
With a three year, 90, 000 mile guarantee, prices start from a reasonable £18, 475 for the SE trim.

Fat Frankie Falcone liked to pretend he was connected, that he was a made guy. Nothing could have been farther from the truth. Frankly-and no pun intended- it's hard to believe he got away with the shit he did for so long.
Every once in a while, despite the best efforts of his muscle – two curly headed clowns named Vito and Vinny constantly adorned in track suits and thick gold chains- someone wouldn't pay. That's when he would call me. He paid top dollar but Fat Frankie insisted things be done his way. And, as he was fond of saying, Fat Frankie always got his way.
He wanted me to blow up a guy's house, a guy fifty grand in the hole. Vito and Vinny had broken his arm and a week later cut off two fingers. The guy still came up with nothing.
"Gotta send a message." Fat Frankie said. The guy lived in a modest home out on Long island. While I was casing it I discovered that not only was he married, he had three kids. I wasn't going to kill any kids because their old man couldn't pick winners at Belmont. Didn't matter how Frankie wanted this handled.
Instead, I followed the guy to his office job the next morning. He got out of his Lexus and I walked up from behind and popped him in the head with a silenced Sig Sauer. Nice and easy, job done. Except I hadn't done it Fat Frankie's way, two hours later he had me on the phone, plenty pissed off.
"Goddamit," he screamed, "You didn't fucking do it my way. Now I'm gonna send you a message." It wasn't the first time he'd talked to me like that. I decided it would be the last. A man can only tolerate so much.
An hour later, Vinnie and Vito kicked in the door to my apartment. The bomb I was supposed to use came in handy. Bye- bye Vinny and Vito. I felt sorry for the guy they bought their gold chains from. His business was going to take a hit.
Then I got Frankie on the phone.
"Listen you fat bastard," I began." I don't know what made you think I was the kind of guy you could talk to the way you do. And I sure as hell don't know what made you think I would put up with it. Every day for the rest of your miserable life I want you to wake up knowing that you might turn around and see me standing there and that day will become the worst day of your life."
I hung up before he could respond.
I moved to a new place. Frankie hired a couple of new goons. They looked a lot like Vinnie and Vito. He never went anywhere without them.
For a couple of months I tailed him. He was spooked all right, as nervous as a kid having to meet a girl's father on the first date. I was making him sweat.
One chilly afternoon his Caddy pulled up in front of Pasquale's Pizzeria. When Frankie went inside, I pulled my squad car up behind his. Walked up to the driver's window, shot his two stooges and tossed a throw down on the front seat before walking inside. Frankie didn't recognize me in uniform. He was concentrating on a large slice of pepperoni.
"Today's the day you've been dreading Frankie." He looked up, his eyes growing wide with fear. "It's the day I told you would come."
"You're a goddamn cop?"
"Yeah," I said. "And I'm doing things my way."
He stood, tried to reach for a gun. I shot him in his massive gut and he sat back down, the unfinished slice still in front of him, grease dripping from his chin.
"You could let me finish my pizza." I shot him again.
Those were Fat Frankie's last words. I wasn't going to let the bastard go out his way. Those days were over.

The fun came from a great model, a new class of interesting individuals with half taking from me for the first time and a painting that emerged from the canvas awfully nicely. I appreciate students that are taking the leap -- way outside their comfort zones -- that I remember taking walking into my first classes ten years ago. Hopefully they are as glad they gave it a shot as I am.
I was asked by one of the students if I was happy with the result on the last break before the end of class. At that point, I saw a couple of things that needed some work. With those issues fixed ... in the last five minutes ... yes. I'm very happy with it.

Here is another delicious and quick breakfast recipe. It's one of my favourites because it's so tasty. Mommy likes it because it's packed full of nutrients. The berries offer a good deal of antioxidants and the Greek yogurt provides much-needed protein.
This puree of berry goodness takes only minutes to prepare. It doesn't even require any cooking time. It's ideal for busy mornings when time is limited and perfect for quick and tasty snacks. Try this recipe the next time that you're low on time but unwilling to compromise on nutrition.
4 ripe bananas
3/4 cup raspberries
3/4 cup blueberries
1 cup Greek yogurt
Berries are delicate fruits and are hard to wash thoroughly. We always soak ours in cool water for a few minutes and then give them a good rinse in running water. After a good washing, place the berries on some paper towel, gently roll them around to soak up the water, and set them aside for a couple of minutes.
Ripe bananas will work best because they add a good amount of sweetness and won't cause constipation. Peel the bananas and remove the stringy fibres. We like to snip the ends off as well to remove the dark bits. Slice the bananas in approximately one inch pieces.
Place the berries in a blender and run on high-speed until the berries are completely liquefied. Reduce the speed to medium and begin adding the bananas a couple of pieces at a time. Finally, add the Greek yogurt and run the blender on high for a minute or two to make sure everything is thoroughly blended.
This recipe can easily be reduced for a smaller batch. One banana, a handful of berries, and a few spoonfuls of yogurt would make only a meal or two. We prefer making larger batches and freezing meal sized portions for convenience. This puree will keep in the fridge for a day or two.

by MARK METCALF at Boundary Park, Oldham
NORTH-WEST COUNTIES LEAGUE 2: FC United, the champions of the North West Counties League Division 2, twice came from behind to beat Chadderton 3-2 in a pulsating match at Boundary Park last night.
A 25-yard free-kick from Glynn Billington put Chadderton in front with ten minutes on the clock, before Michael O'Neil equalised for the champions with three minutes of the half remaining.
Within two minutes of the restart Paul Ashton restored the home side's lead, driving his shot under the body of Barrie George in the FC United goal. But, the record Chadderton crowd of 2,352 saw the game change on the hour mark, when FC United midfielder Adie Orr was hauled down in the area. The referee reduced Chadderton to 10 men and Darren Lyon struck home a confident spot-kick to equaliser for the visitors.
And, on 70 minutes, former Crewe striker Phil Power carved open the Chadderton defence with a pinpoint pass to pick out Orr, who ran through to give the visitors the lead for the first time in the game.

Is the district internet policy outdated in the age of social media?
September 5, 2017
Filed under NEWS
Hang on for a minute...we're trying to find some more stories you might like.

The role of social media is ever-evolving. Should the Lake Pend Oreille School District policy regarding it follow?
In the day and age where up-to-date, intimate reporting is available instantaneously on a Snapchat story, and Twitter is the predominant line from the President of the United States to the American people, it's clear that social media has evolved to have more substinance and potential educational value than the time-waster it is often regarded as.
The Lake Pend Oreille Board Policy on Internet Access lays out clear criteria for what is considered inappropriate access, but does not make any specific reference to social media. The policy was last revised in 2012.
It explains that the district technology and network are free to use for educational purposes, but all social media platforms are blocked on district computers and on the district network.
When does the value of social media as a mainstream communications resource distinguish it as an educational tool and more than just a classroom distraction?
"I mean, the President can tweet all he wants about anything, but that's really freeform. As far as teachers choosing to use a freeform medium like that for communication and learning, I think it would just have to be really specific," School Technician Robert Linder said. "So once teachers find a specific way to incorporate it, I think it'd be great for the IT department to jump in and find ways to help teachers with that."
While some educators may be reluctant to welcome social media into the classroom, others are more open to its incorporation. Teacher Mary Bird has experienced the expanse of social media in her own home with her freshman son, Connor.
"Last night I wanted Connor to come watch the news with us because they had all sorts of pictures from the hurricane flooding in Houston and I wanted him to see it, and his comment was, 'I've already seen it on Snapchat'," Bird said.
This anecdote rings true beyond the Bird household: According to a 2015 Pew Research Center survey, approximately 76 percent of teens use social media, and 71 percent report using more than one platform. News and business companies are accordingly adapting to best utilize these burgeoning platforms, stocking Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter and Facebook with vast amounts of information available at a tap.
Bird contends that if social media is becoming the mainstream platform for communication and information, it should be considered as a legitimate learning tool.
"Social media is becoming the norm as to how people communicate and students should have access to that," she said. "Of course, they shouldn't be sitting all day, texting their friends, but I do think that educationally, there is a need for it in many cases and that we should review the policy."
At the high school level, concerns regarding inappropriate use of social media in the classroom arise, and not without reason. Though social media platforms offer extensive information and communication resources, they invite distraction in the classroom.
"Just like anything, it goes two ways," District Director of Technology Matt Brass said. "Social media can be used for some really productive and insightful things, but at the same time, let's face it: when you walk into a classroom and see kids on social media, probably two-thirds of them are just wasting time messing around. The question is, how do you make it so that it is being used relevantly, and not just as a time-waster or to do things that students shouldn't be doing."
Cedar Post advisor William Love and Brass are tentatively teaming up for a pilot test of the incorporation of social media access into the classroom, starting with Cedar Post.
"Social media isn't going anywhere, it's just going to get stronger and have more relevant roots, so we just have to figure out how to best use it," Brass said.

Mosquitoes test positive for West Nile Virus in Toronto
Risk remains low
Mosquitoes in Toronto tested positive for West Nile Virus, the city's public health agency has found.
This is the first positive test for West Nile in Toronto this year, however no human cases of the virus have been reported
to date.
Toronto Public Health has 43 mosquito traps throughout the city and tests mosquitoes every week. The city also uses larvicide in areas with standing water to reduce breeding.
"The positive test result is a good reminder for the public to protect themselves from mosquito bites and to remove standing water from property where mosquitoes can breed," said Elaine Pacheco of Toronto Public Health.
Although the risk of becoming infected is low, Toronto Public Health is urging people to wear light coloured clothing, long pants, long-sleeved shirts, socks and a hat, to use mosquito repellent, to avoid areas with large numbers of mosquitoes — especially during dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active — and to make sure homes have tight-fitting screens on windows and doors.

After years of hopeful whispers and crossing of fingers about "advanced" TV, signs of it were everywhere at the National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) annual convention in Las Vegas last week. Despite my disappointment at having to leave Vegas without seeing Ice Cube (he plays the Strip this week), I did come away with several important takeaways about the broadcasting business and the relevance of the venerable NAB convention, all in some fashion related to the evolution of the TV business:
"Advanced" TV discussions are more about advancing money than advancing tech
Terminology gets in the way of a lot of conversations about "advanced TV", namely what is "TV" anymore and what is "advanced" about it? From my point of view, advanced TV is a world with advertising buyers and sellers using multiple new sources of information such as set-top box data and consumer buying habits to identify specific audience segments to not only deliver relevant commercial messages but to enhance the overall TV customer experience. If you want to find digital-like growth in the TV business, this is the place to find it.
I'll acknowledge my own bias as the moderator of a panel conveniently entitled "Advanced Advertising is Here. Let's Make Some Money." But it was meaningful that panels like mine drew hundreds of attendees and representation well beyond the crowd that usually congregates at the Society for Cable Television Engineers (although some of my best friends…well you know). My fellow panelists included long-time evangelists on the need for re-inventing TV (such as Videology CEO Scott Ferber), a new leading-edge seller of advanced (in fact addressable) advertising (Nick Troiano of One2One Media), an advanced TV operational expert (Lorne Brown from Sintec Media), and of course two "masters of the universe" (James Rooke from Comcast/FreeWheel and Rany Ng from Google, but I jest). Each of these panelists came to NAB with a crowded calendar to help drive not only the conversation about but the realization of advanced TV deal-making.
TV and digital convergence will be a two-way street
The TV business certainly still has much to learn about the digital world's embrace of rapid change, agile development cycles, and mining both voluminous data and millennial talent. Clearly, Facebook and Google are an intimidating pair of competitors (not to mention the other members of "FANG" – Amazon and Netflix). And moves such as the creation of Open AP (the FOX-Viacom-Turner partnership on TV audience segmentation) and NBCU's goal of $1 billion in audience-based selling indicate an acknowledgment that adapting to digital's advantages is essential.
But TV has a still-emerging hand of brand safety to play. As many advertisers grow increasingly nervous about just what they are getting with digital media, including from Facebook and Google, you hear and see the elements of TV's "comeback" (or maybe survival) story. It will be very interesting to watch how quickly and effectively the agile digital marketplace is willing to change itself to draw upon TV's existing advantage of a predictable and safe environment for marketer messaging.
ATSC 3.0 will probably need another new name soon

It was very helpful. it was a great tool to check my answers with. I would recommend this software to anyone no matter what level they are at in math.
I decided to home school my children at a young age. Once they were older, I quickly realized that I was not able to create efficient math lesson plans before I did not have the knowledge to do so. Algebrator not only allowed me to teach my children algebra, but it also refreshed my knowledge as well. Thank you for creating sure a wonderful program!
One of the best features of this program is the ability to see as many or as few steps in a problem as the child needs to get it. As a parent, I am delighted, because now there are no more late nights having to help the kids with their math for me.
I was searching for months for a piece of software that would help me improve my Algebra skills. My solution was the Algebrator, and now I can tell you how it feels to be an A student.
