Necrons List
Blood Angels List
Pre Match thoughts
So this week I had a game against my mate O'Shashar from http://cupboardofnurgle.blogspot.co.uk/, Sorry there are no pics for this one, will have to remember my camera next time.
Second game I have had in a long time so still a bit rusty and have not played my jumper hybrid list for a while now however my mate is quite new to Necrons so experience wise it was about 50/50.
My devs will likely be useless in this game as av13 is a pain to crack with s8 I find. Melta however will utterly slaughter vehicles though they aren't the main threat to me in this game, what I actually need to kill isn't the thing I'm best at killing.
The Board Layout
Standard 6' by 4' board, we had a fair bit of terrain, fortress of redemption in the middle, skyshield on the bottom left to me and a large ruin on the top right, some other random small bits of terrain scattered around.
The Mission
Spearhead/Seize ground
3 Objectives on offer, one placed on the left, one on the right and one in the middle, about as far apart as they could possible have been.
The Deployment
Blood Angles win the roll and opt to go second, Necrons deploy everything on the board, generally right in the middle of the board and Blood Angels deploy just 1 priest and both dev squads in the skyshield to the left.
Notes: They are going to take 2 rounds of fire here but have FNP and a cover save so hopefully should last at the very least long enough for the jumpers to arrive. Necrons have a fair walk to get even into shooting range for most of their army and won't be assaulting them anytime soon.
Necrons Turn 1
Immortals with their teleporting cryptek deep strike right in front of my devs, a small scatter but remain in rapid fire range. The rest of the army moves around to try and get into range the next turn.
Shooting the immortals unload on the first dev squad and get a fair few wounds however armour save then feel no pain kick in and keep them alive.
Blood Angels Turn 1
Necrons implement night fighting rules with a solar pulse.
Devs shoot at the immortals since they will likely be the only thing in range. I opt to go for frag since they are clustered after deep striking and it's fairly effective, landing quite a few wound, after the dust settles there are 5 down total including the cryptek. The other squads missiles are less effective, landing fewer hits and causing no unsaved wounds.
Crpytec doesn't get back up which is nice so no more teleporting form them, along with 3 immortals.
Turn 1 Notes
Went better than expected, the danger of hybrid if you do go DOA route is they are extremely vulnerable to an entre army's worth of shooting for a good 2 turns, the devastators are meant to pop tanks ready for the marines arrival however most are out of range or a struggle to hurt anyway with missile launchers.
The first squad did make their points back with a bit of luck here though which was nice.
Necrons Turn 2
Crons continue to move around the board to close in on the devastator squads.
Immortals shoot them again, this time however killing a couple from squad 1, annihilation barges shoot them also, further thinning the unit however after all shooting is done, 1 from squad 1 and most of squad 2 still remain there.
Blood Angels Turn 2
Second solar pulse comes into effect.
I roll for reserves and every single thing comes in. Scouts arrive on my left side, moving in towards the left side objective, assault flamer squad arrives near the top right objective and both assault melta squads plus the honor guard appear near my board edge, close to a command barge.
Shooting I blow up the command barge leaving the lord out in the open, I fire the honor guard at him as well but only take a wound off.
Devastators in the depleted squad 1 fail to wound and further immortals, which the other squads missiles bounce off the shielding on an annihilation barge.
Turn 2 Notes
Scouts came in too early which was annoying, especially as they came in at the wrong side. Feel no pain is being a hero here, between that and armour saves is has kept my devs alive like a boss. I didn't deploy as aggressively as I usually do simply because the threat as I see it wasn't the vehicles so meltaing them down just doesn't seem necessary.
Necrons Turn 3
Crons continue to move around the huge fortress of redemption in the middle, a large warrior squad moves up onto it, losing a couple of crons in the process from its dangerous terrain. Wraiths abandon their pursuit of the devs for more juicy prey, jumping down towards the closest melta dev squad. Scarabs and 1 barge move away from the rest of the army and towards my flamer assault squad on the right side objective. Ghost ark immobilises itself trying to rez some fallen warriors.
Shooting the devastator squad at nearly full strength takes a further hammering from 2 of the annihilation barges causing a fair few wound, 2 more go down. Immortals kill off 3 of the scouts that just came on. Couple of casualties from assault marine here and there by random shooting of crypteks and warriors. Scarabs pull out an amazing 6" fleet move meaning they will get into assault this turn with my flamer squad.
Into Assault the wraiths and the overlord charge my melta marine squad and the scarabs charge the flamer assault marines.
Whip coils do their job and drop my marines down to I1, librarian gets preferred enemy (rage) off and wraiths begin their attack, a few marines drop but my mate epic fails on his rending rolls, feel no pain wraps up the rest of the wounds that got through. Lord kills one of his own. His back manage to kill the lord and take enough wounds from the wraiths to make combat a draw.
Scarabs take a fair beating in their first round of combat, taking about 10 wounds and in retaliation cause barely any wounds, only 1 wound is failed as well which doesn't help their cause, losing a couple more bases from fearless wounds. They remain locked in combat.
Blood Angels turn 3
Remaining devastator shoots but fails to wound anything. Honor guard jumps over the fortress of redemption and blows up an annihilation barge with its melta guns. Second melta assault squad decides not to help their mates in combat and instead kills the second command barge that has wandered over, leaving the second overlord out in the open.
In combat its still the same two fights as before, scarabs this time fare better however as my attacks only manage to cause 2 wounds and both are saved! Their hits back however killing a couple of marines this time and the combat is only saved by the power fist killing 1 and causing a narrow win that the fearless save is also saved for! My mates dice are on fire right now.
The wraith combat this time goes much the same as before, couple of wounds to either side and a draw.
Turn 3 Notes
That was an extremely scary charge from those scarabs, 24" charge is deadly for sure however it was more detrimental to them in the end as they took a good solid beating from it. The other combat went ok for me, better than expected as I took the charge head on and came out of it with a draw, can't complain at that at all.
Necrons Turn 4
Not much movement from the crons, barges stand sill to fire and finish off the devastators from squad 1, reducing squad 2 to only 1 missile launcher left, priest has also gone now. Warriors and crypteks on the fortress kill a couple of the honor guard marines while shooting at the long devastator is ineffective. Immortals finish off the scouts at the top.
Assault time and the scarabs time is up, marines basic hits wipe enough of them that they will struggle to survive this time, hits back do no wounds and powerfist kills all but the last wound on the final scarab, it fails the 1 fearless wound out of about 7 rolls that I need and the remaining 5 marines consolidate onto the objective.
The wraith combat this time does not go as well for me as the overlord also charges in, the librarian goes down as does the priest, marines hold steadfast however with 2 remaining and pass their ld test, killing 1 wraith in reply that was already on 1 wound.
Blood Angels Turn 4
Honor guard look to a new target, the immobilised ghost ark, however the 1 remaining melta gun fails to hit (curses!). Last remaining devastator does nothing as his missile bounces off barge shields again.
In the final combat my second marine squad charges into the ongoing wraith combat, positioning carefully so that none of my key units are in base to base with whip coils. The charge is fairly devastating and 4 wraiths are killed in the process as well as the lord however he does manage to get his attacks in first and kills my priest. The final wraith goes down as well and the combat there is over.
Turn 4 Notes
Back on track to a certain extent though still loads of Necrons left, I have lost quite a few points worth of units now but the shooting coming at me is quite significant. I have 1 objective for certain and my mate will get the other side one with his warrior squad out of the ghost ark, the battle for the final middle objective begins…
Necrons turn 5
Movement sees the Necrons forces getting closer to my marines to try and shoot them down, immortals and barges unload on the marines killing a couple however even though my mates dice are on fire and getting loads of wounds, my armour saves are also being heroic and keeping my guys alive. Warriors on the wall shoot down the remaining 2 honor guard members with the help of the ark.
Blood Angels Turn 5
The last 2 marines in melta squad 1 and the remaining marines from melta squad 2 jump forward into range of the objective in case the game ends, as its stands it will be a draw. Their shooting only kills 1 of the Necrons on the wall.
Roll is done and game continues.
Turn 5 Notes
Ok well would be happy for it to end there, I'm not doing too well at this point and another round of shooting with no feel no pain is going to sting, just need to hold on as long as possible
Necrons turn 6
Immortals open fire on the marines, armour saves hold again though and they shrug it off. Barges also fire at them, killing a couple, its not going to be enough. Necrons on the wall get an awesome 6 for moving through cover and get all their squad in place to shoot me down, killing the 2 marines on their own, leaving only 4 in the final squad, one of them a librarian.
Blood Angels turn 6
Nothing to do but move forward, the last 4 marines bound to the objective and consider a charge, shooting doesn't do anything as cover ignores it, I roll for the difficult terrain test needing a 3… I get a 1 and a 2. We roll for it and the game ends.
Final notes
Its an epic charge fail so not a change of getting into combat and stealing the win by wiping out the guys on the wall however I do manage to steal a draw, should it have gone on to another turn I think I would have been slaughtered and lost 2-1.
Good game though, the Necron list is solid and though the blood angel list isn't bad, I'm not so certain its exactly what I want it to be just yet, further tweaking is needed.
Pictures next time I promise :)
TL : DR Version
Game was a draw, necrons dominated for most of it but feel no pain did well to keep blood angels in it and snatch the win out of their grasp at the end.

Kashmiris Relish Drop In Violence
3 September 2009
In a famous picnic spot south of the summer capital of Indian-administered Kashmir, the locals are back in force, having fun in scenes that were unimaginable during the dark days of the insurgency here. For the first time in two decades, the people on the Indian side of this divided region live in relative peace, with tourists a more common sight and trekkers returning to the Himalayas that form a backdrop to life here. 'We are loving this peace,' said Imtiaz Ahmed, one of eight men playing football on the shores of the Lidder river in Pahalgam, about 100 kilometres from the capital Srinigar. Used to living in fear with restrictions on their movements, Kashmiris are re-discovering freedom as violence declines in this conservative Muslim-majority region once described by a 17th-century visiting emperor as a 'paradise on earth.' While militant attacks still take place - a grenade and a shooting incident in Srinigar this week left two policemen dead and nearly 30 others injured - violence has fallen to the lowest level since 1989 when the rebellion began. According to official police records published on Monday, killings have dropped to one a day from 10 daily in 2001 and a peak of 13 in 1996 when the anti-India insurgency was at its height. College girls, many wearing make-up and some in Western-style dresses, stroll near the picnic site. 'This place is paradise and it is so beautiful when it's peaceful,' said Nayeema Firdous as fellow students chanted Bollywood film songs. Local tourist officials say they are turning away visitors from state-owned accommodation because they have no rooms left. During the peak days of militancy, the area was deserted, forcing some shopkeepers out of businesses. 'The rush to Pahalgam is unprecedented,' said Rouf Ahmed, a senior tourism official. The spot has had its share of violence, including four attacks between 1999 and 2001 on Hindu pilgrims trekking that left over 60 people dead. Six foreign tourists were abducted by rebels near Pahalgam in 1995. One escaped, one was beheaded and four others were never traced and are presumed dead. Kashmiri violence has its roots in the partition of the subcontinent in 1947 when the Hindu leader of the Muslim-majority region opted to join India instead of Pakistan. The region is now split between the two countries along a UN-monitored line of control, but both sides claim it in full and have fought two wars over the its control. The struggle against Indian rule has left more than 47,000 people dead since it began in 1989, according to official figures. Human rights groups put the toll at 70,000 dead and missing. Security officials acknowledge the recent change, though there are no plans to reduce troop levels. 'The level of violence has come down and there are significant signs of normalcy in Kashmir,' says Indian army spokesman J.S. Brar. He attributes the turnaround to 'people's desire for peace and more effective counter-insurgency tactics.' 'More and more people are providing us with information about militants,' he added. Many link the decline in violence to a peace process started between India and Pakistan in 2004 to resolve all their pending disputes, including the one on Kashmir. India has put a pause on the process, however, after last year's deadly Mumbai attacks which it blames on Pakistan-based militants. In Srinagar, Tariq Dar, a 34-year-old engineer who grew up during the worst of the violence, said the calm was 'bringing smiles to all the faces here.' At dawn, he and his friends set out for a daily morning walk in a picturesque area of the city that until recently was out of bounds because of its proximity to the residences of top politicians. 'I had never imagined that this road would be reopened. It signals peace is here to stay,' says Dar, who aspires for an independent Kashmir state. Later in the day, hundreds of residents could be spotted in Mughal-built gardens on the shores of Lake Dal, again enjoying picnics with their families. The few liquor shops that have reopened are doing brisk business and in the evenings, young men and women crowd restaurants that used to shut by 6pm during the peak of unrest. After the insurgency erupted in 1989, 51-year-old Abdul Rashid tried unsuccessfully to sell his ornately handcarved tourist houseboat to feed his family. He is now grateful as visitors return and is leading trekkers up the mountains that were once considered too dangerous to visit. 'Going back to these mountains was my big wish. Thanks to Allah, the peace has made it happen,' he said. In 1988 more than 700,000 foreign and Indian tourists visited Kashmir, but the number declined sharply as the insurgency intensified. Now the tide appears to be turning again. In 2007, nearly 450,000 tourists visited, followed by 550,000 a year later. And in the first seven months of 2009 more than 380,000 tourists had already come to sample the pure air and breathtaking views.

After the big kick-off with Star Wars Celebration's Battlefront Reveal and today's Battlefront Dev Diary many gamers are split into two groups; those who are foaming at the mouth and throwing their money at the screen versus those who are calling foul, b.s., or much less friendly words towards their screens in disbelief and perhaps jaded but justified distrust. In the following RealGamerNewz Podcast we sit down and discuss whether or not gamers should think about pre-ordering the game at this point, which is what EA Games is suggesting everyone get ready to do right now. We also speak about all of the details thus far that are known about the game to be certain, which it turns out is not very much information at this time. DICE and their history developing games is discussed as well as the legacy of the Battlefront series.
In this Podcast we brought on RGN contributors who share differing views but are both determined to eventually play this game to see it for themselves, and we have a peaceful discussion which often breaks down into a debate showing both sides. One thing's for sure, the pressure is definitely on for DICE and EA to surpass the partially complete, leaked, and cancelled Battlefront III that LucasArts was developing. Take a listen to the show below, do the research yourself, and make up your own mind. Thanks in advance for listening!
Editor's Note: RealGamerNewZ has moved web servers, some older posts can no longer be commented on and have been preserved without their images. Thank you for your understanding in this matter. This article was written by Jon Ireson on 20150421 and was last modified on 20150421 .

Diagnostic considerations when COPD is a possibility
Consider the possibility of COPD as an alternative diagnosis or asthma–COPD overlap in patients with respiratory symptoms and any of the following risk factors:
- current smoking or history of smoking and age 35 years and over
- exposure to environmental tobacco smoke or other smoke
- age 55 years and over
- longstanding asthma.
If spirometry before and after bronchodilator demonstrates airflow limitation that is not completely reversible in an adult with risk factors for COPD, consider the possibility of COPD, even if the person has never smoked.
- How this recommendation was developed
Based on clinical experience and expert opinion (informed by evidence, where available), with particular reference to the following source(s):
- Abramson et al. 20123
If an adult has risk factors for COPD, spirometry before and after bronchodilator demonstrates airflow limitation that is not completely reversible, and other diagnostic tests do not confirm asthma, start a treatment trial with an inhaled corticosteroid and repeat spirometry 6–8 weeks later.
After the trial of inhaled corticosteroid treatment, the diagnosis of asthma is supported if pre-bronchodilator spirometry shows that airflow limitation has resolved, or if spirometry before and after bronchodilator demonstrates airflow limitation that is fully reversible.
- How this recommendation was developed
Based on clinical experience and expert opinion (informed by evidence, where available)
Identify patients with characteristics strongly favouring either asthma or COPD. If several features of both are present and neither is strongly favoured, manage according to recommendations for asthma–COPD overlap. If the diagnosis is unclear, consider referral to a specialist respiratory physician.
Note: It is clinically important to identify asthma features because, in patients with features of both asthma and COPD, (1) treatment should always include an inhaled corticosteroid to reduce risk of flare-ups and asthma-related death, and (2) the use of long-acting beta2 agonist or long-acting muscarinic antagonist without concomitant inhaled corticosteroid should be avoided to reduce the risk of flare-ups and asthma-related death.
- How this recommendation was developed
Based on clinical experience and expert opinion (informed by evidence, where available).
More information
- Risk factors for COPD
Smoking is the most important risk factor for COPD.3 Current national COPD guidelines recommend that COPD should be considered in all smokers and ex-smokers over 35 years, and in all patients with other smoking-related diseases.3
The other main risk factors for COPD include:3, 2, 1
- exposure to environmental tobacco smoke
- occupational exposure to dusts and fumes
- exposure to biological dust, diesel exhaust
- exposure to smoke from biomass fuels
- genetic predisposition (alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency) interacting with environment (e.g. smoking)
Other risk factors for fixed (irreversible or incompletely reversible) airflow limitation include:1
- inadequate maximal lung function achieved in early life (e.g. due to untreated asthma or severe asthma in early childhood, premature birth, or bronchopulmonary dysplasia)
- ageing
- longstanding asthma.
- Diagnosis of COPD
The main symptoms of COPD are breathlessness, cough and sputum production. Patients often attribute breathlessness to ageing or poor cardiopulmonary fitness. A persistent cough, typically worse in the mornings with mucoid sputum, is common in smokers. Other symptoms, such as chest tightness, wheezing, fatigue and airway irritability are common.3
The clinical diagnosis of COPD is usually based on clinical presentation (e.g. breathlessness, productive cough), together with both the following:3, 4
- a history of smoking or exposure to other noxious agents
- post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 0.7 (or < lower limit of normal) together with FEV1 < 80% of the predicted value.
- Asthma–COPD overlap
Distinguishing between typical allergic asthma (childhood-onset allergic asthma) and typical COPD (emphysema in a heavy smoker) is straightforward.5 However, it can be difficult to distinguish COPD from asthma in adults who have features of both conditions.6, 7These people are described as having asthma–COPD overlap.6, 5, 8
Asthma–COPD overlap is not a single, well-defined disease entity, but includes a range of airway disease phenotypes with different causal mechanisms.6, 9 Features of both asthma and COPD have been described in:8, 10, 11, 12
- people with current asthma (allergic or non-allergic) who have had significant exposure to tobacco smoke
- people with longstanding asthma or late-onset asthma who have become persistently short of breath over time
- people significant smoking history and symptoms consistent with COPD who also have a history of childhood asthma
- people who present in middle age or later with shortness of breath, with a history of childhood asthma but no or few symptoms in between, and little smoking history.
Figure. Development of asthma, COPD and asthma–COPD overlap Please view and print this figure separately: http://www.asthmahandbook.org.au/figure/show/108
People with asthma–COPD overlap often have poor disease outcomes, including:6, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16
- high need for healthcare services
- worse quality of life, more wheezing, dyspnoea, cough and sputum production, and more frequent and severe respiratory exacerbations and hospitalisations, than people with COPD or asthma alone
- worse lung function demonstrated by spirometry than those with COPD alone, despite lower average exposure to tobacco smoke.
Features of asthma, COPD and asthma–COPD overlap
If several features of both asthma and COPD are present and neither condition is strongly favoured, respiratory disease should be managed according to recommendations for asthma–COPD overlap.
Treatment for patients with asthma–COPD overlap
Inhaled corticosteroid treatment at low–moderate doses is essential to reduce the risk of potentially life-threatening flare-ups, even if asthma symptoms appear mild or infrequent.6, 17
Most patients also need treatment with a long-acting bronchodilator (either long-acting beta2 agonist or long-acting muscarinic antagonist) in addition to an inhaled corticosteroid. Long-acting beta2 agonists and long-acting muscarinic antagonists should not be used by people with asthma or asthma–COPD overlap unless they are also taking an inhaled corticosteroid (either in combination or separately).
Management should also include smoking cessation, treatment of comorbid conditions, physical activity, pulmonary rehabilitation, vaccinations, self-management (including a regularly updated action plan) and regular follow-up.6
- Go to: Asthma action plans
- Go to: COPD action plans
Respiratory tract infections should be monitored carefully because people with asthma–COPD overlap have high morbidity rates and because ICS treatment is associated with increased risk of non-fatal pneumonia in people with COPD.18 Most of the available evidence is from patients treated with fluticasone propionate, particularly at higher doses. Increased pneumonia rates have also been observed in studies of patients with COPD using fluticasone furoate/vilanterol. The higher dose of fluticasone furoate/vilanterol (Breo Ellipta 200/25 mcg) is not approved for patients with COPD, so it should also not be used in patients with asthma–COPD overlap.
Specialist referral should be considered for patients with atypical symptoms or symptoms that suggest an alternative diagnosis, persistent symptoms or flare-ups despite treatment, or complex comorbidities.

- Definition of variable expiratory airflow limitation
Most of the tests for variable expiratory airflow limitation are based on showing variability in FEV1. While reduced FEV1 may be seen with many other lung diseases (or due to poor spirometric technique), a reduced ratio of FEV1 to FVC indicates airflow limitation.20 Normal FEV1/FVC values derived from population studies vary,21, 22 but are usually greater than:21
- 0.85 in people aged up to 19 years
- 0.80 in people aged 20–39 years
- 0.75 in people aged 40–59 years
- 0.70 in people aged 60–80 years.
In children, it is less useful to define expiratory airflow limitation according to a specific cut-off for FEV1/FVC ratio, because normal values in children change considerably with age.22
Some spirometers provide predicted normal values specific to age group. If these are available, a FEV1/FVC ratio less than the lower limit of normal (i.e. less than the 5th percentile of normal population) indicates airflow limitation.
Variable expiratory airflow limitation (beyond the range seen in healthy populations) can be documented if any of the following are recorded:
- a clinically important increase in FEV1 (change in FEV1 of at least 200 mL and 12% from baseline for adults, or at least 12% from baseline for children) 10–15 minutes after administration of bronchodilator
- clinically important variation in lung function (at least 20% change in FEV1) when measured repeatedly over time (e.g. spirometry on separate visits)
- a clinically important reduction in lung function (decrease in FEV1 of at least 200 mL and 12% from baseline on spirometry, or decrease in peak expiratory flow rate by at least 20%) after exercise (formal laboratory-based exercise challenge testing uses different criteria for exercise-induced bronchoconstriction)
- a clinically important increase in lung function (at least 200 mL and 12% from baseline) after a trial of 4 or more weeks of treatment with an inhaled corticosteroid
- clinically important variation in peak expiratory flow (diurnal variability of more than 10%)
- a clinically important reduction in lung function (15–20%, depending on the test) during a test for airway hyperresponsiveness (exercise challenge test or bronchial provocation test) measured by a respiratory function laboratory.
Patients referred to a respiratory function laboratory may be asked not to take certain medicines within a few hours to days before a spirometry visit.
A clinically important increase or decrease in lung function is defined as a change in FEV1 of at least 200 mL and 12% from baseline for adults, or at least 12% from baseline for children, or a change in peak expiratory flow rate of at least 20% on the same meter.23, 20 A clinically important increase in FVC after administering bronchodilator may also indicate reversible airflow limitation, but FVC is a less reliable measure in primary care because FVC may vary due to factors such as variation in inspiratory volume or expiratory time.
The finding of 'normal' lung function during symptoms reduces the probability that a patient has asthma, but a clinically important improvement in response to bronchodilator or inhaled corticosteroid can occur in patients whose baseline value is within the predicted normal range.
The greater the variation in lung function, the more certain is the diagnosis of asthma. However, people with longstanding asthma may develop fixed airflow limitation.
Reversibility in airflow limitation may not be detected if the person is already taking a long-acting beta2 agonist or inhaled corticosteroid.
Airflow limitation can be transient and does not necessarily mean that the person has asthma (e.g. when recorded during a severe acute infection of the respiratory tract). Ideally, airflow limitation should be confirmed when the patient does not have a respiratory tract infection. Reduction in lung function during a respiratory tract infection with improvement in lung function after its resolution, commonly occurs in people with asthma, but can also be seen in patients with COPD or in healthy people without either asthma or COPD.24,25

Everything You Need to Know about RegTech in 2018
The financial institution's woes with regard to compliance have been solved with the introduction of Regtech solutions. When it came into existence around a few years back, it has been able to gain the support of the investors and regulators alike.
However, it will still take time to grow to its full potential as there are few factors which need to be considered before the financial institutions shift its approach to the Regtech solutions. One of the solutions which have been introduced recently that are helping the financial institutions is the full identity verification process. Fully Verified is a video onboarding solution that has been gaining quite popular in this sector. Startups that are offering the Regtech solutions play an important part in partnering among themselves to take advantage of various new opportunities. Below mentioned are few of the key points related to Regtech solutions.
- The Regtech startups have various solutions which will help in easing the financial institution's compliance burden but they need time to get adapted to the industry.
- The startups will collaborate with each other and along with financial institutions offering solutions. The global regulators need to adopt the Regtech themselves in order to advocate the industry.
- One can expect to witness the Regtech bringing in high data acquisitive solutions. It uses real-time information and incorporates analytics and algorithms in its solutions.
- It comes with new approaches to check and control fraud. It uses biometrics and social media to transform the method in which the customer due diligence is conducted and how the anti-fraud system works. This automation of the due diligence will help in using various data that could be tailor-made to suit the particular firm's approach to risk. Also, it uses the machine learning and artificial intelligence to lead the charge on the process of regulatory

Tennessee athletic director John Currie is defending the process of his coaching search and vouching for the character of Greg Schiano one day after negotiations between the two parties broke down amid public backlash.
Currie issued a statement Monday acknowledging that the Ohio State defensive coordinator was a leading candidate for the Volunteers' coaching vacancy without explaining why the two sides parted ways.
Currie said Tennessee "carefully interviewed and vetted" Schiano and that the former Rutgers and NFL coach "received the highest recommendations."
Tennessee chancellor Beverly Davenport issued a statement saying, "I deeply regret the events of yesterday for everyone involved.'' Davenport added that "the university remains steadfast in its commitment to excellence, and I look forward to John Currie continuing the search'' for a new coach.
The school and Schiano were close to an agreement Sunday before the deal fell apart after a protest on campus and complaints on social media from fans, state representatives and gubernatorial candidates.
Their complaints stemmed from Schiano's background as an assistant at Penn State during Jerry Sandusky's tenure as the Nittany Lions' defensive coordinator. Sandusky is serving 30 to 60 years in prison for his conviction on 45 counts of sexual abuse.
Court documents released last year of a deposition related to the Sandusky case suggested that Schiano might have been aware of Sandusky's sexual abuse of children, though Schiano says he had no knowledge of what was happening at the time.
"We carefully interviewed and vetted him, as we do candidates for all positions," Currie said in his statement. "He received the highest recommendations for character, family values and commitment to academic achievement and student-athlete welfare from his current and former athletics directors, players, coaching colleagues and experienced media figures."
Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam said he wasn't involved in the search but added that he doesn't "think anybody looks at the way everything came down yesterday and says that's the way it should happen.''
Schiano tweeted in 2016 that he never saw abuse or had any reason to suspect it while working at Penn State. He worked for late head coach Joe Paterno from 1990 to '95, starting as a graduate assistant and then as defensive backs coach.
Anthony Lubrano, a trustee at Penn State since 2012, said in statement Monday that Schiano "had nothing to do with the Sandusky scandal."
"Any stories about his involvement are completely uncorroborated and without basis in fact," Lubrano said in the statement. "To impugn Mr. Schiano's character based on hearsay alone is irresponsible and unfair.
"It is disappointing that University of Tennessee officials have been influenced by the voices [and keyboards] of a grossly uninformed social media mob. Had they sought to understand the truth of the matter, and stood firm in their offer, they would have seen firsthand the benefits of hiring a man of high integrity and strong character."
Tennessee (4-8, 0-8 SEC) is looking to fill its coaching vacancy following the Nov. 12 firing of Butch Jones.
Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said that Tennessee had been in contact with Schiano, and he spoke out on Schiano's behalf Sunday during a conference call previewing the Buckeyes' Big Ten championship game with Wisconsin.
"Greg's been a close friend for 20-plus years," Meyer said. "He's an elite person, elite father, elite husband, and that carries over to how he handles his players. Excellent coach, excellent person."
Ohio State linebacker Chris Worley told ESPN that Schiano has not addressed Sunday's events with the Buckeyes.
"It's very unfortunate he didn't get [the Tennessee job]," Worley told ESPN. "It's a great situation to be able to be a head coach. At the end of the day, I'm happy that the Buckeyes get to keep him for now at least. He got a lot of bad rep because of that, a lot of [it] undeserved.
"He's a hell of a guy. He's a guy who knows his football. He has a great football mind."
ESPN's Adam Rittenberg and Dan Murphy and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Cornwall has been camped in, houses have been moved into, and out of, and into again, song ideas have been jotted down, radio 4 has been listened to, DS Lites have been purchased, and played, and I'm amazing. Happy times, expensive times, wagamama times. A waitress there is now almost certainly convinced I'm half of a gay couple, but that doesn't matter because their chicken itame makes me very very happy inside. Plus I can use it as the basis for some hilarious play in years to come.
Above all, I'm now back in Birmingham, the land of the free… in which place, I very much hope, some fun will be had over the coming months. I bid you all join me if possible (unless you don't know me; that would be weird).

Everywhere, USA – The early exit polls indicate a particularly increased desire by voters in this election – people want a strong leader.
This is good news for the Trump campaign, since a bedrock of their platform has been built on strength and confidence for our nation going forward.
From Politico:
Asked what characteristic is most important for the next president, 36 percent of voters say they want a "strong leader," 29 percent want "a vision for the future," 16 percent want someone who "cares about people like me" and another 16 percent said they want someone who "shares my values."
The high percentage of voters looking for a strong leader is double the amount who had the same sentiment in the 2012 election.
Although the first polling centers won't close until 6 p.m. EST, this one statistic is promising for a solid victory by Donald Trump. Being derided for his conviction behind his platform has not deterred the republican candidate or those who support him. They believe our country needs one who is an unabashed champion for the values of America.
If you believe the same, be sure to like and share on your favorite social platform!

Israeli Mossad agents detained a Palestinian in Egypt's Sinai in June, Israeli media reported Wednesday.
An Israeli judge cleared news of the arrest for publication on Wednesday and said Wael Abu Rida, from Gaza. He was detained on suspicion of "offenses of national security," the Israeli daily Yedioth Ahronoth reported.
A magistrates' court in Beersheba on Wednesday extended Abu Rida's remand by eight days, the report said.
Judge Yuval Livadaro allowed the publication of some details in Israeli media, but extended the gag order of other details by 10 days.
The detainee's wife, Amani Abu Rida, had told Ma'an on July 3 that her husband disappeared during a visit to Egypt for medical treatment.
The couple traveled together to Egypt on June 6. Wael Abu Rida suffers cerebral atrophy and sought treatment at a hospital in central Sinai, his wife said.
On June 21, Wael received a phone call and left without returning, his wife said.
The family later received a phone call from the International Committee of the Red Cross informing them that Wael was in Israeli custody, without giving any reason for the arrest.
After the phone call, Amani returned to the Gaza Strip.
Israel Social TV Video on Mossad Sinai Kidnapping
Via: http://www.richardsilverstein.com/
This is my latest video for Israel Social TV about the Mossad's kidnapping of Wael Abu Rida in Sinai. Unfortunately, due to the massive unrest presently in Egypt it appears this story will not receive the attention it should from the Egyptian media and citizens. But with this video I'm doing my bit to bring Abu Rida's plight to the attention of the world.
Unfortunately, due to Israeli censorship and gag orders the video could not mention Abu Rida's name or the fact that there was a gag order against doing so. That's Israel!
If you can post it to your own social media accounts and disseminate and promote it, I'd be grateful.
UPDATE: Possibly as a result of our efforts, Israel's security apparatus just partially lifted the gag order which now permits naming Abu Rida. He of course still remains imprisoned and subject to the whims of the Israeli secret police.

Banks and Financial
Pointer have a wealth of experience in the provision of tailored security and fire systems at banks, building societies, insurance companies and brokers. This experience has been gained through working on major projects in the UK, as well as in Oman, Thailand and the Philippines.
We provide security solutions to:
- Corporate Head Offices
- Nationwide branches
- ATMs
We have the necessary qualifications to work within the highly secure environments which are typical of the financial sector, and our IT infrastructure is established in line with sectoral guidelines. This is particularly important when we are talking about networked video and access systems. We are experienced and trusted to work with cutting edge technologies in order to provide unique, tailored solutions – such as our utilisation of cloud-storage in our recent project on behalf of Bank Muscat in Oman.
Our major clients in this sector include:
In Oman, Bank Muscat, and the Bank of Beirut. In Thailand, Standard Chartered, and in the UK, two regional building societies. Client confidentiality dictates that we cannot reveal the names of these building societies here, however we can say that for the first of these clients – Client A – the portfolio of sites numbers in excess of 90 (including agencies, branches and remote ATMs), and for the second – Client B – the portfolio covers 9 branches.
Client A required new, resilient integrated physical security systems across their branch network (around 70 sites) in order to demonstrate they have shown a duty of care to their staff under the Health & Safety at Work Act (1974) (HSAW), and also to protect the Society's members and customers when on the premises. They also wanted to manage risk to their corporate infrastructure, assets, data, and brand reputation.
Pointer rolled-out a scalable, robust open-protocol solution incorporating a number of elements, which was standardised across the branch network. The integrated system included:
- CCTV and VMS (Video management systems – in this case we chose Milestone as the integrated system. Pointer are a Milestone Platinum Channel Partner and their innovative product is ideal for this client. The cameras managed by the Milestone solution are Axis – best in class for their low-light technology, and 360-panoramic cameras, providing wider views. Pointer are Axis Gold Partners.
- EACS (Electronic Access Control) – Pointer selected Nedap for this project.
- IDS (Intruder Detection System
The threats to financial sector businesses today are changing; as well as the threat to physical property, companies such as Client A also need to ensure that their data is protected. Pointer can provide both logical and physical access control.
The successful delivery of the project required a company with specialist skills in both IT and physical security in order to ensure that every aspect of both disciplines was addressed professionally. Pointer demonstrated we possess both these skills and the experience to deliver projects such as this successfully. Our proven track record in designing and installing integrated security networks to banks and financial sector companies is very good.

"For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them."
– Ephesians 2:10
Light Marketing Pte. Ltd. is a digital marketing agency & social enterprise that endeavours to do good not just in Singapore, but also in Asia. Singapore, as a prosperous nation, has a key role to play in helping other less privileged communities in and around the region – and we are called to be a part of that.
Through marketing, we help the poor, needy and disadvantaged by helping to raise awareness (and aid) for non-profit organisations, charities, IPCs, social enterprises and other causes. Through marketing, we help to gather the necessary resources, funds/donations and manpower to make things happen. We serve corporate clients as well – that is how we fund our social works.
In the long run, we aim to give a hand up to those in need, so they would not have to rely on handouts. A few ideas include training them, employing them, giving them opportunities to earn a fair wage or start a business, and micro-financing.
It is going to be a long journey ahead but we are glad to have taken the first step. Let us know if you share the same vision
Light Marketing Pte. Ltd. was founded in late 2013 by Jake Oh. Then a fresh university graduate, Jake decided to apply what he had learned from his undergraduate course in business (specifically in marketing and entrepreneurship) to start a digital marketing agency that serves the marketing needs of corporate clients first, followed by the needs of the community. Basically to do well first, then to do good.
Yet from 2015 onwards, Jake has been led to shift the focus of Light Marketing Pte. Ltd. the other way around – to serve the needs of the underprivileged and destitute first. To do good, while doing well. He believes capitalism, which is driven by greed and selfishness, will eventually be replaced by a biblical economic model that is centred on giving and loving others. This "new" approach puts people first, planet second and profits third (triple bottomline), ensuring long term sustainability for everyone and everything involved.
Jake Oh, Founder of Light Marketing Pte. Ltd.

What is Samsung E350 phone unlocking ?
Most Networks Service providers lock their Samsung phones to their network, stopping you from using your phone on another carriers. Basically , they want to keep your business because the phone is only going to work only on their Network. Samsung Phone unlocking is a way of taking out the Network lock from the Samsung phone. Samsung E350 Unlocking can be carried out by a choice between purchasing an unlock code that is calculated from your Samsung E350 unique IMEI number or by downloading unlocking software program to unlock your Samsung phone directly. Be aware: An network unlocked 2G phone will not accept a 3G simcard. Nevertheless an un-locked 3G handset will take and work with a 2G handset. 3G handsets have reverse compatibility which permits those to recognize and operate with a 2G simcard Nonetheless, an un-locked 2G phone is unable to recognise the newer 3G/4G sim card technology.
Is Samsung E350 unlocking illegal?
In great Britain removing the lock on your Samsung E350 phone is entirely legal but unblocking a Samsung E350 phone that has been reported lost or stolen is illegal. In America in accordance with a ruling on the 28th October 2012 , means that it is illegal to unlock phones bought 90 days after this date without the carrier's approval. In other words, users may unlock phones they already own, together with phones bought before January 29 , 2013 , but phones purchased after this point may only be un-locked with the carrier's permission. For additional country laws and regulations check out this online site:
How do I determine if my Samsung E350 phone is locked ?
The easiest way to check if your Samsung E350 phone is locked will be to insert a SIM card from another carrier and check if the phone will accept it. If your Samsung E350 phone is locked you are likely to usually see an error message of some type. A majority of these messages vary depending on your handset manufacturer. Below are some examples ;
- "Enter restriction code" or "SIM card rejected"
- "Enter special code" or "Enter Subsidy code"
- "Enter Correct SIM"
- "Incorrect SIM"
- "Invalid Network SIM…Enter Code"
- "Invalid SIM"
- "Phone disabled ! NETWORK LOCK"
- "Invalid Network SIM"
If you do not have access to a SIM card from a different service provider then there is a much less scientific technique to use to check if your Samsung E350 phone is locked. Simply just look to check if your service provider has placed their company logo on your Samsung E350 phone some-where. Take for instance throughout the uk orange usually lock their phones and they always "badge" their Samsung E350 devices with their very own Orange company logo either on the front part or maybe the back of the Samsung E350 handset.
Samsung E350 PUK Codes
PUK stands for Personalized unblocking Code. You have to enter it if you have entered your personal pin code incorrect. This acts as a security feature on your Samsung E350 phone. Should you not have your PUK code , you should speak to your service provider who will provide the PUK code after a number of security checks.

1) The Disaster and the Disabled
2) New Keyboard
3) Why Do These Things Have to Happen? - by Lilly Walters
1) Our hearts are breaking. When I think of those disabled, who could not walk out of those buildings ... Also, I just heard the story of blind man who, when he realized the problem, immediately released his seeing eye dog, and told him to run to safety. The dog ran ... then came back for his master and calmly led him to safety out of the building.
See http://www.ican.com for full reports, regarding the disabled, the disaster and how you can help.
2) New Keyboard!
In case you missed my ravings in the past, I feel strongly that MOST one-handed users should learn to use the NORMAL keyboard they will find in the workplace.
My exception is the person who knew who to TOUCH TYPE before the problem to the hand. AND, whom we catch within 6 months of the injury. For these I suggest Half-QWERTY. A system that lets the strong hand do the touch typing it always did on the half of the keyboard that hand always used. For the missing half, it mirrors the missing keys, onto the side the strong hand uses (you hold down the space bar to make the key think it is the opposite key.) There are pictures at our website if that was too confusing.
They had software that made your computer convert your regular keyboard over. As the years advance, this software is getting very buggy, so they created a Half-KEYBOARD. Hang on, I'm not to the NEW news yet. The half keyboard was small and neat, but only for the LEFT hand user.
THE NEWS: The Half-QWERTY folks have been promising us the RIGHT HALF keyboard. But they got a much better idea. They are releasing the x2 Half Qwerty Keyboard. A normal keyboard with a switch at the top. The one handed user flips the switch, and the keyboard becomes either Left Half QWERTY, or Right, depending on the need. But the two handed person, leaning over the shoulder of the one handed person, trying to work on the same project, still uses the keyboard in the traditional two-handed way!
No software to install, just a normal keyboard to plug in.
I like this idea A LOT! Better yet, they are not over charging us because someone added the title "disabled" to the product! At $99, with only $8 s/h, it's not bad.
If you have not heard of Half QWERTY before, I have a huge research paper up at our site. Just go to the KEYBOARDS link, then see where the link is at the pictures of HALF-QWERTY for more information.
NOTE: I still feel this is still only an option for the person who knew how to TOUCH TYPE ****well****, within the past six to 12 months. Others I feel are better off learning to use the normal keyboard. Less hassle in the long run :))
3. Why do these things have to happen?
by Lilly Walters
One of my joys and passions is my singing voice. I love to perform in our local community theatres. My throat got very sore during preparation for a praticually grueling show. It was my first time to try an operatic piece and I was terrified I had actually done damage to my vocal cords. I was a lead and we were were about to open. I made an appointment and took off to my family doctor - where I waited... and waited ..... for 60 minutes. I finally left in a huff, went back to work and grabbed a phone book and found a throat specialist close by. Once more I made an appointment for that afternoon, off I went.
The nurse showed me in and I sat down to wait for the doctor. I was feeling very disgruntled. I rarely get sick, and here I was, sick when I needed to heathly. Besides, I had to take time out of my work day to go to two different doctors, both of whom kept me waiting. Very frustrating. Why do these things have to happen? A moment later the nurse came back in and said, "May I ask you something personal?"
This seemed odd, what else do they ask you but personal questions in a doctors office?
"I noticed your hand."
I lost half of my left hand in a forklift accident when I was eleven. I think it is one of the reasons I didn't follow my dream of performing in theatre - although everyone says, "Gee, I never noticed! You are so natural " in the back of mind was the thought, they only want to see perfect people up there. No one will want to see me. Besides, I'm too tall, overweight, not really talented no, they don't want to see me. But I love musical comedies, and I do have a good voice. So one day I tried out at our local community theater .... I was the first one they cast! That was three years ago. Since then I have been cast in almost everything I tried out for.
I looked at the nurse and replied, "Yes, of course."
She seemed a bit hesitant, then asked, "I noticed your hand. What I need to know is, how has it affected your life."
Never in the 25 years since it happened has someone asked me this. Maybe they'll say, "Does it bother you." but never anything as sweeping as "how has it affected your life."
After an ackward pause, "You see I just had a baby, and her hand is like yours. I, well, I need to know how it has affected your life."
"How has it affected my life?" I thought about it a bit before I could of what was right to say, but before I really knew the right words, these came out, "It has affected my life, but not in bad way ... I do many things that people with two normal hands find difficult. I type about 75 words a minute, I play guitar, I have ridden and shown horses for years, I even have a Horsemaster Degree. I'm involved in musical theatre and I am a professional speaker, I'm constantly in front of a crowd. I do television shows 4 or 5 times a year. I think it was never 'diffucult' for because of my family. They always talked about all the great notoriety I would get because I would learn how to do things with one hand that most people had trouble doing with two. We were all very excited about that. That was the main focus, not the handicap."
"Your daughter does not have a problem. She is normal. You are the one that will teach her to think of herself as anything else. She will come to know she is 'different', but you will teach her that different is wonderful. Normal means you are average. What's fun about that?"
She was silent for awhile, then she simply said thank you and walked out.
I sat there thinking, why do these things have to happen? That everything happens for a reason - even that forlift falling on my hand. All the circumstances leadingup to me being at this doctors office and this moment it time.
The doctor came in and looked at my throat and said he wanted to anesthetize my throat and put a probe down it to examine it. Well, singers are very paranoid about putting medical instruments down their throats, especially ones so rough you need to be anesthetized! I said no thanks and walked out.
Next day, my throat was totally well.
Why do these things have to happen?
