GMO video animation from the Greens/EFA group in the EP
The group has created a short (3mn55s) animated video that shows the reasons for our opposition to the cultivation of GMOs in a very plain and understandable manner. It is also quite entertaining. It now exists in 9 different languages (English, French, German, Italian, Finnish, Dutch, Czech, Danish, and Catalan) plus with International Sign interpretation, and comes with subtitles in most of these languages. Have a look at it at:
and do not hesitate to share it. It is a good campaigning tool, and as opposed to GMOs, its dissemination does not carry any hazard. If you are interested in more languages, contact us so we can see how to realise it.
GMO maize to be authorised in the EU in 15 years
See (
GMO (In)digest 11
) On 11 February the General Affairs Council opposed the
from the Commission to allow GMO maize 1507 from Dupont-Pioneer with a record number of 19 Member States voting against, while only 5 (Spain, UK, Sweden, Finland and Estonia) were in favour of the authorisation. However it failed to reach the Qualified Majority needed to reject the Commission's proposal. Despite this record opposition, as well as an EP
calling on the Commission to drop this authorisation, initiated by the Greens and voted by a wide majority (385-201-19) in the January session, and the opposition of the vast majority of EU citizens, Commissioner Borg stated that the Commission will authorise the cultivation of this controversial GMO maize. Abstaining Member States (Germany, Czech Republic, Portugal and Belgium) bear the responsibility of opening the EU to GMO cultivation as they have prevented a Qualified Majority to be reached. The Greens/EFA group considers that it would be totally undemocratic and irresponsible for the Commission to go ahead with this authorisation at a time of EU elections in the midst of a strong anti-EU feeling. It announced that it would launch a motion of censure against the Commission if it does, and wrote a
that has already been signed by enough MEPs (10%, i.e. 77 MEPs) to be able to start such an action immediately if the Commission goes ahead.
Renationalisaton debate
See (
GMO (In)digest 11
) While announcing that the Commission will authorise GMO maize 1507, Health Commissioner Borg prompted Member States to resume the stalled talks about the Commission's proposal for a regulation amending directive 2001/18/EC as regards the possibility for Member States to restrict or prohibit the cultivation, in all or part of their territory, of GMOs that have been authorised at EU level (the so-called renationalisation proposal). The prospect of facing strong national opposition to the cultivation of the new GMO maize seems to have pushed some Member States to reconsider their earlier opposition to this toxic and dangerous proposal and the Greek Presidency was able to present a
draft text
to the 3 March Environment Council. MS have been invited to express whether they were willing to reopen the debate and if they were thinking that the proposal from the Presidency was a good basis for this discussion. A large majority of MS answered yes to both questions, meaning that the discussion is now launched with a view for an agreement at the June Council. Still, some MS expressed reservations, in particular with regards to the threats the proposal carries for the internal market and international agreements. Belgium was very opposed to the proposal while France came up with a different proposal that it claims to be legally much stronger. The authorisation process would be a two steps procedure, similar to the pesticides' authorisation procedure: the scientific risk assessment would lead to the inscription of the GMO on a positive list, and then the applicant would ask for national authorisations. France seemed rather isolated with its proposal and has even been accused of trying to gain time, as the proposal, which has been submitted very late, is very different from the Presidency and would need more time to work on. Germany and Bulgaria, nonetheless, said that the French proposal should still be considered. The Presidency's proposal has been slammed by NGOs as even worse than the Commission proposal because it allows direct negotiations behind closed doors between companies and governments during the authorisation process, giving companies undue power. It is also legally not safe vis-à-vis EU internal market rules and international agreements such as WTO and it will weaken MS' opposition to EU authorisations of GMO and requests for improved EU risk assessments.

GMO (In)digest 11
) ENVI Committee MEPs have voted on 27 November 2013 with a large majority against the Girling report that prevents GMO labelling of contaminated honey by considering GMO pollen as a natural constituent of honey instead of an ingredient. But this large majority did not succeed in keeping the amendments in the Plenary that confirmed the AGRI Committee opinion to hide GMO from labelling in the case of honey. Rapporteur Julie Girling (ECR) was mandated to negotiate with Council and came up with a hypocritical compromise that was the Commission's proposal to consider pollen as a constituent of honey in order to prevent its labelling when GMO pollen is present in honey. On 19 March, the Environment Committee caved to the strong lobbying of the honey importers and packers and voted against its original recommendations of November 2013, approving with a small majority (28-26-2) the Girling report. The vote in plenary, which will be held in April, will probably be only a pro-forma confirmation of this wrong decision. The consequences will be that the decision of the European Court of Justice in 2011 that specified that honey contaminated with genetically modified pollen must be marked as such under EU law will be turned down, the consumers will not be informed whether the honey they buy contains GMOs and bee-keepers will be unable to request coexistence measures to insure that their honey does not contain GMOs, contrary to other farmers. Also, as the EU imports much of its honey from countries that grow GMOs and two of the main honey-producing Member States (Spain and Romania) do grow GMO maize, it is sure that honey containing GMO pollen will end up on EU shelves.
Questions for written answer to the Commission
See (
GMO (In)digest 11
) On the questions that Green MEP Sandrine Bélier had asked in November 2013 on the safety assessment of GMO maize MON810, the Commission only
that the questions concern details of the risk assessment carried out by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), which has been requested to provide elements allowing the Commission to answer to the questions and that the information will be available shortly (E-12048/13 and E-12049/13). Green MEPs José Bové, Martin Häusling, Bart Staes and Margrete Auken asked the Commission
on the 2-years toxicology study that it had decided to do after the publication of the Séralini study and whether the retraction of the study may revisit the planned study (E-014438/13). The Commission
that the planned study does not aim to repeat the Séralini' one but rather to provide scientifically sound and independent data that will allow for drawing conclusions with regard to GMO risk assessment requirements and procedures in the EU. As such, the recent retraction of the Séralini study from the Journal of Food and Chemical Toxicology will have no impact on the planned 2-year feeding trials. Proposals have been evaluated by experts who were selected on the basis of their skills and knowledge of the area; the absence of conflict of interests was strictly enforced. Information on the selected project will be published only once the grant agreement has been established. The answer does not indicate a great level on transparency so far, and we fear that information may be released too late for any meaningful involvement of stakeholders and independent scientists, as nothing is in the public sphere yet. Green MEPs José Bové
the Commission about the status of its analyses seeking to establish whether the new techniques of biotechnology did, or did not, fall within the definition of GMO laid down in Article 2 of Directive 2001/18/EC (E-014424/13). The Commission
that it is carrying out the analysis of the legal status of New Plant Breeding Techniques (NPBT) but there is no external group appointed by the Commission for the purpose; it has not organised any hearings with third parties on NPBT at this stage and did not produce official proceedings of the workshop held by the Institute for Prospective Technological Studies (IPTS) of May 2010, as the workshop was part of the integrated methodology that was used to map the development of NPBT in the EU and which resulted in one single report with the overall results. In short, nothing significant has been done so far by the Commission that seemed more interested in speeding up new GMO authorisations and its renationalisation proposal than elaborating on an accepted framework for assessing risks of new breeding technologies.
Although it is not a GMO issue per se, there has been a lot happening on seeds in the EP in the last month. MEPs voted almost unanimously (650-15-17) to reject the controversial draft EU regulation on seed production and marketing in Plenary on 11 March (Silvestris report). The Greens have been pushing for the controversial proposal from the European Commission to be rejected as it would seriously hit small-scale farmers and seed breeders for the benefit of the biggest seed companies that are also the ones that produce GMOs. However, 2 initiative reports from AGRI Committee (
plant breeding: what options to increase quality and yields?
, from PAULSEN; and
the future of Europe's horticulture sector – strategies for growth
, from Mc Intyre) that are pure propaganda on the need to intensify production, with genetic engineering and new pesticides, have been voted by MEPs respectively in the plenary sessions of February and March. The need for GMOs in agriculture, among many other items on more intensification, more chemistry, more patents and more "modernisation", has sneaked into these 2 reports. The good thing is that none of them is legally binding, but there's little doubt that they will be used by the biotech industry lobby. For more information, check our Food Culture campaign at
Member State/EU news:
France: Arrêté to ban cultivation of GMO maize MON810
See (
GMO(In)digest 10
) Since the cancellation of the French moratorium on the cultivation of GMO maize MON810 last August, the government has said that it is committed to maintaining the ban under better legal grounds. On 4 February, socialist Senator Alain Fauconnier introduced in the Senate a
proposal for a law
to prohibit the use and cultivation of MON810 seeds, but the proposal has been unexpectedly
on 17 February in the Senate by only 2 votes (171-169) after pro-GMO UMP (right) Senator Jean Bizet had presented a motion to oppose the proposal on procedural grounds. The following day, Socialist MP
Bruno Le Roux registered the same proposal at the
National Assembly
while Green MPs proposed a stronger
text of law
in order for France to ban all GMOs and not only GMO maize. During examination by the Sustainable Development Committee of the National Assembly, the amendments from the Greens were rejected. The socialist law proposal will be examined on 10 April, which is only after the sowing season has begun in France. To prevent cultivation of GMO maize in 2014, the government urgently passed an
on 14 March that prohibits the marketing, use and cultivation of GMO maize MON810 seeds until a definitive decision in application of Art. 18 of Directive 2002/53/CE about the common EU catalogue of plant varieties and of the EU measures from Article 54 of EC Regulation 178/2002 related to food safety. Organisations representing the seed companies and the maize growers lobby have already announced that they will attack the arrêté, showing their contempt for French citizens' opposition to GMOs.
Around the world
Canada Approves Commercial Scale Production of GM Salmon Eggs
In a decision buried in routine business in the Canada Gazette, Environment Canada said in December 2013 that it had granted a US biotechnology firm, AquaBounty Technologies Inc,
permission to export
up to 100,000 GM fish eggs a year from a hatchery in Prince Edward Island to a site in Panama despite acknowledging that the GM fish presented a high risk to Atlantic salmon, in the event of an escape. The decision marks the first time any government had given the go-ahead to commercial scale production involving a GMO food animal, even though it is not yet approved for human consumption. The GM Atlantic salmon uses growth genes from a Chinook salmon and a seal eel which enables the fish to grow twice as fast as a regular fish. AquaBounty has been raising GM salmon for several years on an experimental basis, growing fish eggs at a lab in PEI and then flying them to a test site at a secretive inland location in Panama, where they were grown to full size, and then ultimately destroyed. However, environmental groups in Panama are concerned that the AquaBounty site was operating without the necessary permits and inspections. The Panamanian test site has had a history of mishaps. In 2008, a storm destroyed part of the facility, according to a filing to the FDA. In 2010, an entire batch of fingerlings died in transit, according to Panamanian officials. In December of 2013,
Ecology Action Centre
(EAC) and
Living Oceans Society
brought a legal action against the Ministers of Environment Canada and Health Canada
, as well as AquaBounty Canada Inc., asking the Federal Court to decide if the Canadian government violated its own law when it permitted the manufacture of GM salmon to proceed. On 10 March, 2014 the
Canadian Biotechnology Action Network disclosed that an investment filing
at the London Stock Exchange confirmed that AquaBounty is now also seeking approval for human consumption of its GM salmon in Canada. In contrast, Health Canada has consistently refused to confirm or deny that AquaBounty had made any application for approval to sell the genetically modified fish in Canada.

The Way to Magnificent Dormition Cathedral in Summer
View from Ivan the Great (Ivanovskaya) Square on the remarkable harmonious Dormition (Assumption) Cathedral built of white stone in 1475-1479 by design of Italian architect Aristotle Fiorovanti who was invited to Moscow by Great Prince Ivan III "The Great" to build the main church at prince's residence for coronations and other important church and state events. By request of the Grand Prince of Moscow, the Dormition Cathedral in Moscow Kremlin was created with supervision of the Italian artisan after the model of the Dormition Cathedral of Vladimir and until present time strikes an onlooker with its majestic tranquility and magnificent.

Some people find a stylus convenient to use with an iPad or even an iPhone. On the other hand, one usually thinks of using a finger on Apple's Magic Trackpad. However, a capacitive stylus designed for an iPad works beautifully on Apple's Magic Trackpad and is even more accurate.
Swap your Moleskine for a nifty tablet with a stylus.
Recently, I was having some pain in my right thumb, and I think it was because my Logitech mouse had a left button that was slightly too hard to click. That was putting some mild pressure on my thumb as I squeezed. Briefly, I thought about switching to a trackball, but after reading customer reviews and sizing up my own situation, I decided that a trackball wasn't the answer either.
I looked for a different mouse with a lighter left button click. That would take the pressure off my thumb because I wouldn't have to grip so tightly. I experimented with a lot of mice from my office, and, amazingly, the one I liked best was an old Apple Pro Mouse. I found it amazing that such an old mouse worked so well for me, but sometimes the future marches on with style and leaves ergonomics behind for some users.
I own and have used an Apple Magic Mouse, but I don't like the way a drifting forefinger can trigger a sideways scroll. Older mice restrict the scrolling to one dimension, and I like that. Apple's Magic Trackpad.

This pen is about as thick as a typical ballpoint pen but closer in weight to a Sharpie. Because the Intuos S pen is battery-free, you never have to charge it.
The pen has a storage compartment for spare nibs and a nib extractor inside, and it comes with three extra standard nibs. The Intuos S, like all Wacom tablets, lets you customize the pen and tablet to a much greater extent than the other tablet brands we tested. In the pen settings, for example, you can set the tip feel or pressure sensitivity. This is like choosing between a soft 2B pencil, which leaves a lot of graphite on the page, and a harder 2H pencil, which leaves lighter, cleaner lines and requires more force to make a mark.
And you can even customize those options by individual program—an option not available on any of the other tablets we looked at. The Intuos S has four tablet keys, fewer than other tablets in this price range, which can have up to If you rely on such buttons frequently for keyboard shortcuts, this positioning might be an issue, but we think most beginners will use the pen more than the tablet keys.
The Intuos S cannot connect wirelessly. If you want more space to draw or paint on, get the larger Huion Plus. The Plus features a large, by The Plus performed well in our tests, with no lag and only one glitch: The pressure sensitivity stopped working in Photoshop, but reinstalling the driver fixed it. Drawing on this tablet felt natural, and we could smoothly vary our line weight and opacity in all of the art programs we tested. The Wacom tablets had better pressure sensitivity and control in our tests, allowing us to draw the exact same line consistently and to gradually taper lines in Photoshop.
The Huion model has a much smoother tablet surface than the Intuos; the pen glides in a way that feels more like drawing on a glossy iPad screen than on paper. We were unable to test this claim, but charging the pen with the included USB cable should be only an occasional inconvenience. Huion includes a pen cap and a stand that houses four nib replacements.
Graphics Tablets
No company so far has matched Wacom in support and customizability; with the Plus, however, Huion offers the best customization of the Wacom alternatives. We were initially skeptical of the difference between the Intuos Pro and the entry-level Intuos tablet since they use similar hardware—though the Pro has 8, levels of pressure sensitivity, built-in Bluetooth, and multitouch. But we found the Intuos Pro to be the most precise and accurate of the graphics tablets we tested.
After using all the tablets, every panelist identified the Intuos Pro as the higher-priced tablet—it felt that much better.
Solution to the Installation Problems under Mac Mojave
The medium version has an 8. The Intuos Pro also comes in a large version with a The battery-free pen was the most comfortable one we tested, and its rubber coating at the bottom provided great grip. You can even turn the pen to use the end as an eraser—an unexpected feature our testers loved. In addition to eight customizable keys, the Intuos Pro has a radial menu called the Touch Ring that you can use to scroll, rotate a canvas, zoom in or out, change brush size, or change layers.
With 4, levels of pressure sensitivity, it was as easy to use as the non-Bluetooth model when we tested it wirelessly on Windows and Mac. It has a wired USB connection, too.

The Huion HPro is a popular large tablet with more than 1, reviews on Amazon and an overall rating of four out of five stars at this writing. But it has fewer keys than the Huion Plus and a more outdated design. Another large tablet, the XP-Pen Star 06 offers built-in wireless connectivity via a USB dongle, but we were unable to get the wireless to work on Mac or Windows, and support was unable to help.
Otherwise, the Star 06 has a style and feel similar to that of the Wacom Intuos Pro it even has a scroll wheel , but we found double-clicking with the pen on Mac and making faint lines in Photoshop difficult. The stylus also felt cheap—we could feel the seams on the pen—and we experienced glitches with the tablet mapping to only part of the screen in wireless mode. The large XP-Pen Star 03 gave us trouble with controlling the pressure sensitivity—we could create very faint or very dark lines, but not gradients in between.
We tried reinstalling the driver to fix the issue but ran into multiple installation errors. But unlike the other tablets, the A had a surface that easily scratched under a fingernail. We also looked at several other graphics tablets, including the Monoprice by The tablet transfers your strokes digitally to your computer, and you can even use it offline and sync sketches later.

The higher the pressure sensitivity, the better you can control line weight how thick and opaque lines are based on how hard you press down on the tablet with the pen.

All in all, Backpage anal escorts Walla Walla Eastwood was not an Eastwood or a Backpage escorts Bastrop LA. I mean, Harry made so much sense. I counted up all the reasons he wasn't likely to expire on me soon. He headed a no- stress life, ate his fruits and veggies, never had smoked, drank a glass of red wine but no longer, wore a hat and sunglasses, always piled up for security. . . But where would be the fun? You understand where are the joie de vivre? Let's say Harry and I left it. Let us say I really could tamp down my enthusiasms and passions to make him comfy. Let us say he can rev up his motors somewhat to help keep me onboard. We can do that. But we both would need to do a great deal of pretending, would not we? I sat from him, watching him such as a child create towers together with the cream and jam containers, and did a Ben Franklin close in my mind. The Ben Franklin near is called after Ben's technique. You record all the plusses and minuses of two alternatives and allegedly this will result in the choice. So. . . Walla Walla Washington, slim and handsome vs. not- so- tall, adorable but trending toward tubby. Open arteries the kind that would require Roto- Rooter pretty damn soon- - when he did not keel first. Glass of wine for medicinal purposes only vs. a( he said it, I did not) binge drinker. Hardy Canadian vs. lung- cancer- waiting- to- happen guy. Open and honest lied about the divorce and also left out the part about being on the dating sites. Of the checks were in Harry's column.
You may feel lost attempting to direct that love inward. Maybe you have not experienced the attractiveness of that form of acceptance which makes it even more challenging to give it. Nevertheless this real reasons dating apps can turn into a chance to appreciate the Walla Walla backpage escorts video. In the middle of caring for yourself, you might start to discover the desire to Walla Walla love again with another. You may find it difficult to avoid comparing potential future partners to your spouse. You may wish to find someone to replace your spouse. It's not feasible while the desire is understandable. But experiencing familiarity is.
DEAL- BREAKERS Internet relationship is wonderful and awful. A woman who'd never approach a guy in the grocery store is now able to feel comfortable flirting from her computer's anonymity. With each the data presented there under the photo, it makes it much simpler to check Walla Walla Washington online escorts backpage.
During the initial moments of a relationship with a narcissist, they will come across as charming and attractive. This is due to the fact that they're trying to guarantee the wind in regards to you. Using flattery and charisma, they make you feel special and will gain your attention. From that point, they will try to seduce you that they can begin to take control.

In this example, consider asking him a Walla Walla WA backpage escorts female questions which local escorts backpage Louisville not make him Walla Walla Washington trans escorts backpage as if he's revealing of himself. Try to gently draw him out a little. Rex, try asking him if you know he is passionate about his cat. He engage in the dialogue and may light up! TAKEAWAYS Your first few discussions with a man that is brand new will be awkward, especially ifyou're meeting Walla Walla WA casual sex webaites who is not comfortable in somebody who is shy or social situations. They can come off as arrogant when they're just terrified.
And also, don't see a date with so much pressure. You're getting to know somebody, it might be a buddy. Oh you don't need any new friends, but you know what, as I said this really is a person that can present you to the individual which you may wish to be with for the rest of your life. Vulnerability a little bit at a time is a measure of your strength to split the authentic you. So, let yourself be emotionally associate and vulnerable.
I know I really don't want a guy to define my entire life. This is the wrong way of thinking. I have a life and that I will live it regardless. I'm not dependant on anyone.

You've just given, so now you have to withdraw again. You've got two choices: a) Cancel again, or b) Show up, and utilize the draw procedure after you give a little during the date: be flirtatious, give him lots of backpage bare escorts Walla Walla WA, touch him lots, gaze lingeringly deep into his eyes. You make him out, or and he can even kiss on the cheek sooner or later. You're giving.

For me the rough patches were when I realized that although all the dates I appeared to be spending on time, the results were rather disappointing. Though I could learn something new in each experience I had to realize that occasionally when dating, my period cans drain and for that issue. I hear many ladies go through the moans of dating because of the shortage of quality or the Walla Walla new backpage escorts sites of guys they seem to run into.
Even if they are not trendy will attract more like minded girls to you, by showing you authentic self and your passions. Ifyou're obsessed with Call of Duty but you also pretend like your games, you'll never find a woman to enjoy games with.

Rex, consider asking him, if you know he's passionate about his cat. He participate in the dialogue and may light up! TAKEAWAYS Your first discussions with a brand new backpage tranny escorts tumblr Walla Walla WA will be awkward, especially ifyou're meeting with someone who isn't comfortable in someone who is shy or social situations. When they are just terrified, they can come off as arrogant.
Charm is assumed to natural and simple. It should be bound within e-backpage escorts Walla Walla WA's personality whatever type of a man he is. Cruel, temperamental sweet or serene is regardless.

Mark was very talkative and lived backpage escorts truth Manchester TN backpage escorts female Walla Walla off. Until we didn't, we just met a couple of Walla Walla Washington backpage escorts tips but stayed in touch. He always talked about investing and business opportunities. And at the moment, I looked for extra income streams. We both started promoting credit card machines. He in his town and I in mine. We had a link. A frequent thread. Not sure what happened by creating distance except maybe distance did its thing. We became Facebook pals commenting back and forth on one another's backpage escorts.
Kelly jumped up and tucked a napkin into her shirt's front. " This was the best, " she said in the interval. " I completely owned that cake. Can you see me smear cream on Candy's breast? " " I can't believe you did that, " I said. " Imagine if this chick until you had a virus or a cold sore? " Kelly laughed. " Nicole, you are such a prude. " " I'm not. Kelly handed me her water bottle. " You are. You have been freaking out because we got here" " Gross, Kelly, your water bottle tastes like smokes and dairy. I'm not a prude. Call Dom, he'll tell you.

Chemistry Guide Answers – Reactions of Reduction Chemistry
In case you are at this time having difficulties with the distinction among your 2 sorts of chemical compounds and their corresponding product titles, you will find some Chemistry e-book Responses foryou personally. https://rankmywriter.com/ With each the kinds of chemistry, you will be able help you thoroughly grasp the need to have for by means of the appropriate variety of chemical compounds for your work which can be perfect and fundamentally to identify an insight to just how they have been produced.
Chemical Reduction Chemistry can be Known as Reductive Chemistry. It is the analysis of diminishing compounds. To do reduction, you will need to make a molecule http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~utep/files/UTEP%20app%202010-2011.pdf which is fewer electrons in relation to the molecules it's now hoping to displace.
Hydrogen might be just a molecule together with two electrons in its outer shell. Oxygen is definitely simply a molecule with three electrons in its outer shell. The 3 electrons help each molecules carry with each other and make them effective.
Oxygen and hydrogen are two circumstances of reducing chemical compounds. It truly is well-known as oxidation chemistry, If this chemistry is implemented to lower again several substances. In Compounds chemistry, then it is regarded as the response of radicals to catalyze a chemical response.
Radical with Oxidation Chemistry's Response may be the strategy of lessening hydrogen into ingesting h2o and blending oxygen molecules. It transforms to a gas Right after the hydrogen reacts with water. The reaction is what we telephone combustion and that is what we know as burning off fuel.
Re-Active with Oxidation Chemistry's Response is just where edubirdie feedback reactions appear that modify or ruin just one reactant. This could possibly consist of some other substance, a non-living element or water. Similar to oxidation chemistry, the reaction a aspect of combustion. But, with the response of reactive with ozone chemistry, then this process is in most cases at place temperature.
Considerably like the responses of radical with electrons chemistry, final result of reactive reduction chemistry may be the method of blending course . The focus on of decreasing chemistry is admittedly to convert a chemical ingredient or compound into a molecule which is not reactive. Molecules that are neither dwelling nor non-living are thought of as non-reactive. Are viewed as reducible.
Oxygen is just one. For illustration, when a chemical response transpires in lipoic acid, it will bring about just two substances that are termed HCl and H2O. Hydrochloric acid is also known as salt. The mixture of hydrogen ions together with HCl likewise as the presence belonging to the salt gives strengthen to chloride ion and some sodium ion.
The expression oxidant in minimize chemistry is a engaging 1. You are going to be aware of that the issues are synonymous moreover it is dependent on which model of chemical reaction have been currently getting outlined Because of the fact the reactions of oxidation and reduction chemistry shall be precisely the similar.
Some reactions of reduce chemistry were referred to as oxidation chemistry as well as so are considered as the procedures of slicing down the next content to ultimately grow to be significantly less reactive. Molecules which possess a really worth of electrons can be thought of as incredibly reactive.
You have to be informed of all the reactions and the types of molecules that you might be handling when utilizing chemistry. Both equally of these are termed isomerism, as a result of you could find two types of reduction, you to neutralize an element and the various to make a molecule considerably less reactive. Isomerism may just be the follow by alternative molecules of changing molecules, like hydrogen and carbon.
For Extra Descriptive Chemistry E-book Solutions, test out More Chemistry E-book Responses for Reduction Chemistry's Primary Subject matter. The chemical response which will make up these types of a chemistry is intricate, so it's a lot better to make implement of the approach to achieve education on this distinct ingredient of science.

What mistakes do you make when taking out a mortgage? The list can be long and the consequences expensive. It is worth not to make them because credit is a commitment for many years.
Variable interest rate and loan installment amount
interest rate and loan installment amount" />
Mortgages are liabilities for up to 35 years. When calculating the future loan installment, we must not forget that its amount calculated as of today is likely to change in the future, all thanks to interest rates influenced by WIBOR – Warsaw Interbank Offer Rate – the interest rate at which some banks grant loans to others banks. This rate is variable and depending on the bank may change every 3 or 6 months. There are sometimes banks that temporarily offer fixed interest rates – usually over a period of 5 years. Of course, it is difficult to predict the level of interest rates in 10, 15 or 20 years, but it is worth being aware of the impact on the installment of their increase. For rational planning of the household budget, one should be able to answer the question what would be the amount of the monthly installment with the increase in WIBOR by 1, 2 or 5 percentage points. Such knowledge can save us from unpleasant financial surprises in the future. An expert with knowledge and experience, who knows the realities of financial markets, will help here.
"Your" bank's credit offer
Assuming in advance that your bank will give you the best loan is a mistake. Convenience, habit or sometimes reluctance to change means that we do not check the offers of competing banks. Customers often have a deep conviction that due to the fact that they are long-term customers of "their bank" they will receive the best possible financing conditions for the purchase of real estate. The banks in which we have accounts do not always have the best credit offer and do not always promote loyalty. However, it may happen that, having our full history, they can find weak points in it that can affect the offer and final credit decision. Even if you are fully convinced that our bank's offer is the best, it is necessary to analyze the proposals of other banks. Preferably with the help of a specialist who will pay attention to all conditions of the offer and costs.
Submission of a loan application to only one bank
A common mistake among customers with a very good financial standing and the apparent lack of problems in obtaining a mortgage is to submit a loan application to only one bank. It should be realized that during the credit analysis carried out by the bank, there may be circumstances that we did not spray, and which may be the reason for a negative decision or extension of the analysis time or the entire credit process (credit history, non-acceptance of real estate, reduction in value valuations, unpaid bill or other forgotten event). If we submit applications to two or three banks at the same time, we will significantly increase ourselves the chance of obtaining a loan in the event of an unsatisfactory decision at the first choice bank. Acting with the help of an independent specialist, we will make loan applications optimally, saving ourselves time and nerves.
Additional banking products for the loan
It is common for banks to take additional products when taking out a mortgage, such as a bank account or credit card. Thanks to this, the borrower can count on better credit conditions, e.g. a lower margin. However, additional products carry an additional cost that should be considered when estimating credit costs and comparing offers from individual banks. It should also be remembered that these products should be actively used, i.e., for example, top up your account with a specific amount every month or make purchases using a credit card. Failure to meet this obligation will probably meet with additional penalties on the part of the bank in the form of raising the loan margin.
Pursuant to the Act of 23 March 2017 on mortgage loans and on the supervision of mortgage brokers and agents, the rules for granting loans were regulated, including the limits in which banks can set conditions for early repayment and overpayments. The cost of additional products often depends on the loan period and various other factors. Help in making decisions with the participation of an experienced and objective financial expert can be invaluable. Such impartiality will allow you to rationally assess and choose only those additional products that are absolutely necessary or beneficial, and not choose those that give little benefits, and will be only an additional and unnecessary cost.
Life insurance with a mortgage
Life policies are still recognized by customers as an additional and unnecessary cost. Meanwhile, policies should be an indispensable addition to any loan. It does not necessarily have to be the policy offered by the bank, especially since credit-related insurance products are medium quality products. Most often they are group insurance with many exclusions, not preceded by a medical survey on the state of health and individual analysis. In the event of the borrower's death, except for the personal loss of a loved one, such an event almost always has a significant financial dimension. It may happen that the financial situation of a person who will pay off the entire loan installment will be insufficient to service the loan.
Another unforeseen circumstance may be the right of succession, as a result of which, without the consent of the guardianship court, the sale of real estate, which is co-owner after the division of the estate, is a minor. Policies proposed by banks also usually do not protect borrowers against the consequences of illnesses, medical expenses or income restrictions. This approach to loan collateral should trigger the borrower's need to have a policy that not only satisfies the bank's needs but, above all, helps to solve these unpredictable situations to which borrowers and their relatives are exposed. All policies should be consulted with an insurance specialist who will analyze them and possibly present full coverage insurance offers.
There are many more pitfalls, each of them can have a significant impact on the amount of the mortgage contracted and finally the monthly installment of the loan. Each borrower is an individual case with a different situation requiring a separate approach. Only an experienced financial expert can provide maximum comfort and convenience and the certainty of choosing the best credit offer.

I think this is a great game, if you released a version an extended version for sale, I would buy it.
Our goal is for Newgrounds to be ad free for everyone! Become a Supporter today and help make this dream a reality!
I think this is a great game, if you released a version an extended version for sale, I would buy it.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! This is something that we are actively considering!
Not too bad of a game. Lack of autofire is tedious, would play more like the run n' gun it means to be if it had it. I saw somebody else's comment for the same, and I have to admit, I don't see how adding an autofire where you press a button for continuous fire would make you unable to hide. Aside from that, it's a blast! I do have to ask, where can I get that intro song? Mr. Beckstrom's soundcloud page doesn't seem to have it, and a google and youtube search have so far proved fruitless.
I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it.
The decision to not have autofire was partly a style choice, the number of pistol shots you can have on screen is limited like Mega Man, and Metal Slug doesn't have autofire either. Contra does though. It's also an attempt to reduce busy-ness and keep the screen clear(er).
The biggest reason is because the gun is meant to be used as a burst fire weapon and not as something that needs to constantly be firing at a set pace. The 3 bullet limit can actually be circumvented by reducing the distance between you and your target. This rewards riskier gameplay and therefore the intensity of the player experience.
Lane actually made the intro track specifically for IPCFOS. I'll see about having him host it somewhere.
Needs less bullet hell.
this is just stupid, you add in keyboard changes but they revert after every game, wtf man? we have to RE-set all the key binding for every play!
Aaaaaaaaand patched! Sorry about that, it should save your control scheme now.
This is a very good effort. I do not know much of flash but this is the first time I encountered a flash game that auto detected my controller. That said, it did not give me direction control nor the duck button. I have to agree with other reviews that a control edit is critical.
Music and sound effect fits the game well. Game is also very smooth.
Down side is I have trouble reading a lot of the text in the game. I have latest update of firefox and adobe flash. That said, I am not able to read all the text in the director script, nor the oscars room. Also took a few trial and error to figure what the oscars room is for and how to operate.
Thank you for your feedback. This game is actually an HTML5 game made in Construct 2, which is why it was able to detect your controller. Also, it runs on JavaScript, not Flash.
Sorry to hear that the controls did not map to your gamepad well. Several others have also found issue with the control schemes, and in response I have added a keybinding option to the main menu. I hope this fixes your problem!
In regards to your text problem, this is something that we have been seeing in Firefox browsers. I cannot reproduce it in mine currently, and I tested the game in Chrome (as it tends to be the most stable for HTML5 games, which is why I recommend it in the note.) Having that said, I will look into possible adjustments that can be made to fix this. In the meantime, I recommend you try the game in Chrome.

HORRY COUNTY, S.C. (WMBF) – A Conway man was arrested after police say he sexually assaulted a child.
Online records show Justin Edward Markante, 35, was booked into the J. Reuben Long Detention Center Monday by the U.S. Marshals and charged with first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a minor.
According to arrest warrants, Markante sexually assaulted the child at a home on Wilbur Dunn Place in the Conway area in 2013. The child, a female, was 6 years old at the time of the alleged incident.
Horry County officers met with the victim, now 12 years old, last November and a report was filed.
According to the report, a woman on scene told officers she first found out about the alleged sexual assault about a year ago but was just reporting it.
Markante is currently being held at the J. Reuben Long Detention Center.

How to Modernize AIX Applications In-Place Using Red Hat OpenShift
AIX / Article / Systems management / Modernization
Angshuman Roy explains the value of using Red Hat OpenShift to modernize applications by leveraging containers.
By Angshuman Roy09/01/2020
Enterprises are modernizing applications to bring in cloud-native capabilities that work in a hybrid multicloud environment. In its Total Economic Impact™ study, Forrester found that clients accelerated development cycles by up to 66% by modernizing. Quite often, these organizations are looking at multiple cloud providers to host different parts of their applications while keeping mission-critical workloads in house. According to Flexera 2020 State of the Cloud Report, 93% of enterprises are pursuing a multicloud strategy, which prevents them from being tied to a single vendor.
To make an application more portable across multiple clouds, it must run on a unifying platform, like Red Hat® OpenShift®. OpenShift extends Kubernetes with built-in tools to enhance app lifecycle development, operations and security. With OpenShift, clients can consistently deploy workloads across multiple public or private clouds with ease.
This article breaks down how my team modernized a banking application running on AIX®. We built a new user interface and deployed it on Red Hat OpenShift running on the existing IBM Power Systems™ server, while the business logic continued to run on the AIX back end. We added new functionality that ran on three different public clouds: IBM Cloud®, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft® Azure. All of these environments were managed using IBM Cloud Pak® for Multicloud Management, also running on POWER®.
Advantages of Containers in App Modernization
One of the most common approaches to modernizing legacy applications starts by containerizing them so that they can be migrated to cloud. Containers are small and lightweight, which makes them a good match for microservice architectures where applications are constructed with loosely coupled, and independently deployable, smaller services.
The combination of microservices as an architecture and containers as a platform is a common foundation for many teams that embrace DevOps to build, ship and run software. Because containers can run consistently anywhere, they're an ideal environment to deploy applications across multiple public clouds and on-premise.
Paths to Modernization
Several paths to modernization are available, ranging from low to high complexity. Some people refer to application modernization as "lift-and-shift," but in reality, it's just rehosting the application on a new platform, without getting its benefits. A smarter way is to modernize the application and deploy it on a hybrid cloud that's based on open standards. Two methods are available:
1. Refactoring
- Factor existing code into microservices and add a new layer to support enhancements
- Main core of the application (i.e., the business logic) remains unchanged on current platform
2. Complete rewrite
- Replace current application with a new one that's written for the new platform
- This is by far the most time-consuming and expensive option
Our team chose refactoring because this adds new functionality without losing the benefit of the IBM Power Systems platform.
Our Path to Modernization
Step 1
We started with a monolithic online banking application running on IBM WebSphere®, connected to an IBM Db2® database, both running on Power running AIX.
Step 2
We refactored the application into seven loosely coupled business processes, each converted to a microservice (see Figure 1, below). These processes are login, get account balances, process deposit, process withdrawal, view/update customer profile, get transaction history and logoff. These microservices remained connected to the existing IBM Db2 database. The business logic remained unchanged and continued to run on AIX.
Step 3
Then we developed a new UI that calls the respective microservice for each business process. It had no direct connection to the database. The new UI was deployed on OpenShift 3.11 on Power with two Red Hat Enterprise Linux® LPARs—one for master and the other for worker node.
Step 4
Next, we added three more independent apps running on different public clouds:
- A customer service chatbot, powered by IBM Watson® technology on IBM Cloud
- A pandemic payment relief request app on Microsoft Azure
- A customer satisfaction survey app on AWS
Step 5
Lastly, we managed all apps (both on-prem and running on public clouds) using Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management. To manage the AIX LPAR, we needed to add Cloud Automation Manager to the Cloud Pak. Figure 2 (below) shows an example of what the modernized application deployment looked like.
Unified Management on Power Systems
Through this exercise, we demonstrated that AIX applications can be modernized "in-place" quite easily on the IBM Power Systems platform. This approach gets the benefits of containerization on resilient hardware, while avoiding the risk associated with migrating to a new platform. It also reduces the risk and cost associated with rebuilding the entire application.
Monolithic apps can be converted to microservices easily, especially if they're written using structured programming language like Java®. Once containerized, new functions can be added easily, even if they're running on non-Power or other public cloud platforms.
All of these apps running on heterogeneous cloud platforms, including AIX LPARs, can be managed in a single place using Cloud Pak for Multicloud Management. This helps in managing multicloud environments with consistent and automated configuration and security policies. It improves automation by simplifying the IT and application operations and reduces costs.

Reactions to milk can be severe and life-threatening read more about anaphylaxis. Milk allergy is sometimes referred to as dairy idbut this can should be used with caution. Since this is a product category — not a single ingredient such as milk — it is not listed in ingredient statements on processed foods. The Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act requires that products containing milk list it as an ingredient, and so when teaching others about this whey, using the term milk instead of dairy can help them allergy read ingredient labels. The term "dairy allergy" can also cause confusion with egg milk since eggs are usually located near the dairy product case in the grocery store.
Hidden sources of milk include:. Even if a food is labeled "milk-free" or "nondairy," it may contain allergy-causing milk proteins — so you have to read the label carefully. When in doubt, contact the manufacturer to be sure a product doesn't contain milk ingredients. When eating out, ask how foods have been prepared. Does your steak have mllk butter on it? Was your seafood dipped in milk before cooking?
If you're at risk of a serious allergic reaction, talk with your doctor about carrying and using emergency epinephrine adrenaline. If you have already had a severe reaction, wear a medical alert bracelet or necklace that lets others know you have eta food allergy.
Milk allergy - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic
In children who are allergic to milk, breast-feeding and the use of hypoallergenic formula can prevent allergic reactions. Hypoallergenic formulas are produced by using enzymes to break down hydrolyze milk proteins, such as casein or whey. Further processing can include heat and filtering.
Depending on their level of processing, products are classified as either partially or extensively hydrolyzed. Or they may also be called elemental formulas. Some hypoallergenic formulas aren't milk based, but instead contain amino acids.
Signs and Symptoms of Whey Protein Allergies (UPDATED )
Besides extensively hydrolyzed products, amino-acid-based formulas are the least likely to cause an allergic reaction. If you're breast-feeding and your child is allergic to milk, cow's milk proteins passed through your breast milk may cause an allergic reaction.
You may need to exclude from your diet all products that contain milk.Nov 13, · People with a whey protein allergy can sometimes tolerate cow's milk products that have undergone ultra-high-temperature processing (for example, UHT milk). Some can also drink sheep, goat or mare milk without any issues because the whey proteins in these animal products are slightly different from those in cow's milk. Milk Allergy. Milk allergy is the most common allergy among children. One to two percent of young U.S. children have a milk allergy. Children with a milk allergy must avoid milk in all forms. This includes all milk and dairy products, including "lactose free" versions of milk products. Whey protein is the liquid portion of whole milk that is produced once the milk solids have been removed. Because of this, unfortunately there are a lot of people who cannot consume dairy due to lactose intolerance or milk allergy.
Talk to your doctor if you know — or suspect — that your child has milk allergy and develops allergy signs and symptoms after breast-feeding. If you or your child of on a milk-free diet, your doctor or dietitian can help you plan nutritionally balanced meals. You or your child may need to take supplements to replace calcium and nutrients found in milk, such as vitamin D and riboflavin. Mayo Clinic does not cann companies or products.

Now that you have a working Drupal website, you may want to audit it for certain aspects.
You want to make sure everything is at its place as claimed by your developer.
Drupal site audit :
- Perform auditing on one Drupal website with one domain.
- Check custom Drupal modules & Theme for Drupal coding & Security Standard compliance.
- Review code & identifying unnecessary block of codes. This may add some overhead in processing request and/or loading time.
- Review all the features of the Drupal website, testing. This is to make sure they work as desired and there are no issues.
- Review & confirming security of the features & Drupal website as a whole.
- Benchmarking page load speed & compliance with Google PageSpeed and mobile device compatibility.
- Auditing of accessibility by evaluating the website on http://wave.webaim.org and https://web.dev/measure
- Integrity check of HTML & CSS using W3C HTML & CSS validation tools.
- Prepare a technical report which covers all the Drupal website Audit details carried out in above steps.

EW BEDFORD, Mass. (WPRI) — A New Bedford man was arrested Tuesday in connection with a weekend crash that claimed the life of his passenger.
Jeremia Medina, 28, is expected to be arraigned Tuesday afternoon on a charge of leaving the scene of personal injury, according to the Bristol County District Attorney's Office.
The DA's office said Medina was driving on Nauset Street just after 1 a.m. Sunday when he apparently lost control of his vehicle, struck two jersey barriers and spun out before the vehicle caught fire.
Masyn Bleheen, 18, who was in the passenger seat, was pulled from the burning vehicle by nearby residents and rushed to the hospital, where he died a short time later.
The cause of the crash remains under investigation but the DA's office said excessive speed appeared to be a factor.
The DA's office said more information on the crash will be released at Medina's arraignment.

Firing arcs do they exist?
Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2016 11:49 pm
So do such a thing exist in intercept orbit? Like for example let's say my ship has two rows of broad side guns and a forward facing gun. Let's say that my ship is facing the enemy head on and all the weapons are within range of the enemy ship. Can I hit them with the broad side cannons even though realisticly the ship wouldn't be in position for a broad side?

Wine Friends.. thank you so much for taking advantage of this deal.
Thank you for your patronage and I know you'll really enjoy the wine. We went from 465 cases 2 weeks ago to having 125 cases of each wine left. I was thinking back over the last 45 years and some of the vintages we've made with these grapes and this is truly some of the best we've made. I was enjoying some just recently from the lats '90s and early '00s and they are drinking remarkably well. This wine will age for easily 10 and 20 years.
Then I got to thinking, I want to see how this wine is in 10 years or so, so I'm going to actually keep 10 cases of each, making 115 cases of each available, as I figured even at only 2 bottles a month, that would give me only 10 years to see how the wine is improving with age. So if you picked up 1 case before, at 1 bottle a month that would only last 1 year. If you are of the same mindset, I encourage you to pick up a couple more, as this will truly be the end of the line.
Thank you again for the years of partronage. Cheers!

text: The unmistakable fragrance of the linden tree (genus Tilia) is everywhere in Berlin. It's summer, and lindens are teeming with flowers (and sap). At night, I open all the windows and breath the rich aroma of the linden blossoms. For a few months a year, the Berlin air is scented with the sweet perfume of the linden. It's a welcome change from the auto exhaust and cigarette fumes.

In the 1990s, it was a website. In the late 2000s, it was a Facebook page. These days, businesses both large and small are convinced that having a smartphone application is the next key to their prosperity.
To be fair, of course, these notions aren't unfounded. Research by mobile analytics company Flurry has shown that on average, U.S. consumers use their mobile phones for more than two hours a day, with 86 percent of that time spent using apps.
This all means that your company's app could be a brilliant way to engage with your customers — or a massively unproductive time sink. Here's what you need to know in order to make your next app launch a successful one.
Mobile App Development Is Changing
In May 2010, Apple had 200,000 iOS apps available in its App Store. Fast forward to the present, however, and the situation looks very different. The two-millionth iOS app officially became available in the App Store in June 2016, showing a blistering tenfold increase in app creation in just six years.
These days, it's a lot harder to distinguish yourself just by releasing a mobile app, and many consumers are showing signs of app fatigue. According to media analytics firm comScore, in a given month half of smartphone users don't download a single app.
The world of software development is always changing, and nowhere is this clearer than with mobile apps: new tools, frameworks, and languages are constantly being released. What's more, to be most effective, apps need to support a variety of devices of many different shapes and sizes — from tiny Android smartphones to bulky iPad Pros — and perhaps anticipate future devices such as smartwatches and virtual reality goggles. There are several trends in mobile app development to keep an eye on this year — we outlined them in an in-depth piece here.
Coding from Scratch Is Difficult
Unlike learning HTML and CSS for web development, which is fairly straightforward even for less technical folks, developing a mobile app from scratch is a Herculean endeavor. Learning Objective-C or Swift to a level where you can develop iOS apps, or Java for Android apps, will require a minimum of several months of committed study.
With the high barrier of entry for mobile apps, you might think that hiring a developer or outsourcing the work would be a smarter choice — but it's going to cost you. Estimates for the price of developing an app vary widely, particularly depending on the features you need, but a smaller app development shop could reasonably charge $50,000 to $100,000 for a polished product. This kind of price tag may be well out of reach for cash-strapped startups who are just trying to get off the ground.
Does Your Business Need an App?
Despite these challenges, more and more businesses are releasing apps, as the growth in the App Store's offerings clearly shows. Increasingly, companies and startups are turning to automated mobile app builder platforms that do much of the heavy lifting for them, and are significantly cheaper than hiring an entire team, or outsourcing to a third-party developer.
There are still very good reasons to have a mobile app in this day and age, especially a truly native app. Better performance is the number one reason for building truly native, but it's also worth considering the increased functionality gains you get for going with native (for more on native apps vs hybrid, see our full post here).
To figure out if building a mobile app is right in your case, ask yourself these three questions:
- Will the app be different from your website? If you imagine your app duplicating the exact content and functionality of your already mobile-friendly website, then you probably don't need a mobile app. Apps that simply mimic websites are frequently forgotten about or uninstalled, or worse, receive negative reviews.
- Will your app use advanced mobile features? Native smartphone apps have exclusive functionalities that websites can't offer your users, such as push notifications, geolocation, and access to the phone's camera and address book. If you plan on making use of these functionalities, then you definitely need your own app and a native one at that.
- Do you need to improve your mobile-friendliness? If you're seeing a lot of traffic on mobile but your users are complaining about the mobile experience, then it may be wise to develop an app in order to better serve them. At the very minimum, however, you need to improve your mobile web offerings to be more responsive. Further research into what your mobile users want and need may be the best suggestion here, and if they are looking for advanced native features mentioned in question #2, start thinking about building your native app.
If you answered yes to all three of these questions, building an app for your business is a great idea. So, now what?
Having the Right Mobile Strategy
To stand out from the crowd and build an effective and memorable app for your customers, remember that app users are usually trying to accomplish a specific goal or task, instead of consuming content as they would when browsing the web. Developing a solid mobile app strategy will help you achieve the goal of making your app a direct channel between your business and your customers, offering information and visibility in a way that websites can't. Too many companies simply repackage their website as a mobile app and believe that this is enough to draw in consumers.
When done right, your app should build your brand, improve engagement, and above all provide value to its users.
So, to help you get you started on your journey, here are some links that outline best practices to follow when doing early user research, designing your app, and a link to a tutorial on how to quickly build a data-driven native mobile app using Dropsource.

Dependence and Risk Management
The basics of quantitative portfolio selection
The seminal work of Harry Markowitz from the 1950s is the first scientific approach towards portfolio selection based on the idea of diversification, constituting a quantitative setup whose core ideas are still prominent in today's financial industry. The content of the present article consists of three parts. First, the Markowitz theory is summarized, with an emphasis on its relation with the concept of the Sharpe ratio. Second, its limitations and potential generalizations are discussed. Third, it is demonstrated in the particular case of our fund XAIA Credit Curve Carry how the related concept of Sharpe ratio maximization can assist with managing daily portfolio adjustments.
Dependence and Risk Management
Portfolio optimization for credit-risky assets under extreme dependence
We consider power utility maximization in a multivariate Black-Scholes model that is enhanced by credit risk via the Marshall-Olkin exponential distribution. On the practical side, the model is analytically tractable, easy to interpret, and thus simple to implement. On the theoretical side, the model constitutes a well-justified and intuitive mathematical wrapping to study the effect of extreme and higher-order dependence on optimal portfolios. In particular, we show that it is rich enough to model both, situations in which diversification is beneficial and situations in which this is not the case.
Dependence and Risk Management
Geostatistical modeling of financial data
We explore how the joint modeling of financial assets can utilize methodologies from geostatistical modeling. The considered approach is essentially based on modeling data as realizations of a (Gaussian) random field. This allows for a parsimonious representation of the dependence structure by means of a covariance function taken to be a function of the distance between observations. A key beneft of this ansatz is the possibility to include new data points, i.e. to consider new companies in financial applications. Consequently, geostatistical modeling has appealing benefits in the contexts of covariance matrix estimation and missing data imputation. We thoroughly discuss the necessary adjustments when applying geostatistical methods to the high-dimensional framework that entails the modeling of financial data, instead of the 2D/3D coordinate space encountered in original applications of the method. We illustrate the two use cases of covariance matrix estimation and missing data imputation on a data set of CDS spreads of constituents of the iTraxx universe.
Dependence and Risk Management
Simulating realistic correlation matrices for financial applications
The major part of observed correlation matrices in financial applications exhibits the Perron-Frobenius property, namely a dominant eigenvector with only positive entries. We present a simulation algorithm for random correlation matrices satisfying this property, which can be augmented to take into account a realistic eigenvalue structure. From the construction principle applied in our algorithm, and the fact that it is able to generate all such correlation matrices, we are further able to compute explicitly the proportion of Perron-Frobenius correlation matrices in the set of all correlation matrices in a fixed dimension.
Dependence and Risk Management
Consistent iterated simulation of multivariate defaults
A current market-practice to incorporate multivariate defaults in global risk-factor simulations is the iteration of (multiplicative) i.i.d. survival indicator increments along a given time-grid, where the indicator distribution is based on a copula ansatz. The underlying assumption is that the behavior of the resulting iterated default distribution is similar to the one-shot distribution. It is shown that in most cases this assumption is not fulfilled and furthermore numerical analysis is presented that shows sizable differences in probabilities assigned to both "survival-of-all" and "mixed default/survival" events. We furthermore present a survey of those copula families that make the aforementioned methodology work.

Banff Through the Years - An Illustrated History of the Royal Burgh up to 1699, by Stanley Bruce
Published by Bard Books, 64 pages. A5 size booklet (N6007)
Banff is a Scottish town in Aberdeenshire, and lies on the edge of Banff Bay sitting across the estuary from Macduff, and this booklet provides a fascinating brief chronological history of the place and its people up until the end of the 17th century.
From the rear side cover: This history of Banff is to be published in four volumes, with this first volume covering the period from first records up to the year 1699. Entries are in chronological order and.... there are a series of appendices which contain further details of some of the fascinating characters mentioned in the text.
The period to 1699 covers aspects of several key areas of Scottish history including Scotland's Wars of Independence, our early introductions to Christianity, local involvement with the Marquis of Montrose and the struggle between the Covenanters and the established church.
The records examined reveal how the local authorities dealt with those considered to be deviating from what was legal and acceptable behaviour. These punishments range from hanging at the Mercat Cross to being banished from the parish for such sins as begging and immorality.
The condition of the booklet is generally very good. The covers are clean and bright, the staple spine is intact, and all pages are intact, unblemished and tightly bound. There is an old price printed on the rear side cover, as well as a small price sticker.
