Fidelity, Och-Ziff Seek Stiffer Collateral Rule Before Vote
Jan. 4 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission may complete rules next week that set protections for swap traders' collateral as some hedge funds and mutual funds push for additional safety measures in the wake of the collapse of MF Global Holdings Ltd.
The CFTC may approve the rule, required under the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, on Jan. 11, according to four people briefed on the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity because the schedule hasn't been made public. The new requirement seeks to insulate swaps traders from a brokerage's default while allowing customer funds to be pooled.
The investment companies, including Och-Ziff Capital Management Group LLC and Fidelity Investments, are asking the commission to reconsider its rulemaking until it can offer them the option of keeping their money in a separate account that can be independently monitored. They cited the $1.2 billion in customer funds that has gone missing at MF Global.
"The prolonged delay in determining both the amount and location of missing customer funds in the wake of MF Global's collapse highlights the need for stringent measures," Scott C. Goebel, senior vice president and general counsel at Fidelity, wrote in a Dec. 8 letter to the CFTC. The company asked for "full physical segregation" for the collateral they put up for swap trades.
Industry Divided
The debate highlights a divide in the financial industry between those investment companies and others that support the CFTC's proposal, including BlackRock Inc., the world's largest asset manager. The Managed Funds Association, which represents hedge funds, has been holding weekly industry conference calls to attempt to find consensus on the issue, according to people who've been part of the discussions.
"Let's not let perfect be the enemy of good by prolonging this rule any further and subjecting investors to continued fellow customer and futures broker risk," Richard Prager, BlackRock's head of global trading, said today in an e-mail. "Once voted for, the industry should come together again to evaluate whether there is a better solution."
In a nod to the political sensitivity of the issue, the agency's commissioners are expected at the Jan. 11 meeting to raise the possibility of additional measures that could give firms more options to protect their money, people briefed on the matter said.
Protecting Collateral
The CFTC rule would set up new procedures for protecting collateral in trades guaranteed by clearinghouses, entities that stand between buyers and sellers of derivatives. The final plan, which could still change, is expected to closely track a proposal the CFTC issued in April that prohibits clearinghouses from drawing on the collateral of a non-defaulting client when another client's downfall results in their broker's default.
The plan could offer less safety than some investors in the non-regulated over-the-counter derivatives market enjoy today. Traders in those markets often negotiate agreements where their collateral is held by an independent third party such as a custody bank.
One such firm, State Street Corp., wrote the CFTC on Dec. 14, urging that the commission at least allow investment firms the option of negotiating their own deals, citing "the recent challenges in recovering funds from customer accounts following the bankruptcy of MF Global."
Broker Records
The CFTC proposal exposes clients to risk when brokers don't keep adequate records of their clients' funds, Jeffrey C. Blockinger, chief legal officer at Och-Ziff, wrote to the CFTC's five commissioners. Boston-based Fidelity and Och-Ziff, a New York hedge fund with $28.8 billion under management, urged the CFTC to allow for swap buyers to have their collateral fully segregated in separate accounts rather than operationally commingled.
Federal authorities including the CFTC, the Securities and Exchange Commission, U.S. Justice Department and the bankruptcy trustee are reviewing whether MF Global misused clients' funds. James W. Giddens, the trustee, has estimated that as much as $1.2 billion in customer funds are missing.
MF Global used about $700 million of customer funds to "meet liquidity issues" at its broker-dealer in the days prior to its Oct. 31 bankruptcy filing, according to CME Group Inc., which was MF Global's auditor.
Before MF Global's collapse, support had coalesced around the CFTC's proposal after more than a year of debate, two daylong CFTC roundtables, 40 meetings between industry and agency officials and more than 40 letters commenting on how to protect collateral in the $708 trillion over-the-counter swaps market.
Complete Segregation
The proposal, known as "complete legal segregation," would require clearinghouses and brokers to keep records tracking each client's collateral while allowing it to be managed in a single account. If a broker defaults, the clearinghouse couldn't tap the collateral of a broker's non-defaulting client in an effort to guarantee the trades.
The plan was "the most appropriate choice" and "an important first step in arranging appropriate customer protections," Robert Pickel, executive vice chairman at the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Inc., said in an Aug. 8 letter to the CFTC. The association represents the world's largest swap dealers, including JPMorgan Chase & Co., Deutsche Bank AG and Morgan Stanley.

Fair price for Okna 500 installed?
Could people comment on what I should expect to pay for Okna 500 delux, a standard-size double-hung, double pane windows? FWIW I am in the DC/NOVA/MD area. Thanks in advance!
I know that this will sound like a copout, but there are really too many variables to nail that down with seeing the home, knowing the exact sizes and options, etc. You could literally see anywhere from $600 or so up to $1000+ if a full tear out, triple pane krypton, lead paint, woodwork, etc. That is a very broad range for a well-reviewed, established company with a showroom, etc.
There is one such company that is highly recommended in your area, and that is Windows on Washington. High level of quality, service, and integrity. You will see him posting on the forum here regularly.

Sophia Fresh - What It Is ft. Kanye West
Artist: Sophia Fresh
Featuring: Kanye West
Producer: T-Pain
Album: Untitled Digital Exclusive Debut
Avg Rating: 3.2 ( 40 votes )
After T-Pain releases Thr33 Ringz on November 11, the label boss will resume promoting his Nappy Boy Digital label sideshows. While Tay Dizm's current single, Beam Me Up, continues to get music video spins, his resident girl group has a new single with even stronger hit potential. On What It Is, the ladies of Sophia Fresh spot some dudes in the club who are about as fresh (I couldn't resist) as they are. Joining the ladies is the newest artist to fall in love with auto-tune, Mr. Kanye West, who contributes a memorable 16-bar verse (with his own beatboxed, chopped and screwed effects). Without providing any vocals, however, Teddy again steals the show with his scintillating production skills. For upcoming electronic jams, be on the lookout for Sophia Fresh's currently-untitled digital exclusive debut (due out in early '09).

Someone once told me that the beach isn't a place you go to according to a plan. It won't happen unless it's done spontaneously. Although he said this right after cancelling our own plan to go to the beach, I later realized that it's kind of true. I myself have been wanting to make a lone trip to the beach in the morning since a long time back, but it just never happened.
So yesterday, when I got to know that today was going to be an unexpected holiday, I knew that I just had to do it today, and not wait for the weekend.
And so I went. For a morning person like me, if anything beats being outdoors at 7 AM, it's being at the beach at 7 AM. I could feel the pleasantly warm sunlight on my back, and the ocean was blue, beautiful and beatifically calm. The sand between my bare toes was damp and sticky, and I felt like burying my feet deeper into it.
A beach like the one that I went to is never deserted, even early in the morning. But it was mercifully free of crowds unlike in the evenings. Most of the people there seemed to have a purpose, unlike me. Many were taking walks, track pants and all. A bunch were playing volleyball. Around thirty men were assembled a bit away from me, using their joint effort to pull towards the shore fishing nets from the boats that were returning. Then there were old men, sitting around alone or in groups of two or three. Going by their looks, I'd say they were retired fisher folk. In any case, they sure looked like they were chilling out. Apart from me, the only ones who seemed to be there just for the sea were two guys of around my age, who were getting their feet wet and taking photographs. At one point, it seemed like one of them was capturing me, but that's probably just my paranoia. Oh, what the hell, that probably made a good shot, if he was clicking me after all.
Of course, I was conscious of the fact that I must have been making an odd picture. A lone girl, with messy short hair sticking out at weird angles, scribbling away on a notepad. But then I realized that the people around me were pretty much like the pigeons on the beach. Walking around, sometimes flapping their wings and taking off noisily, but always minding their own business.
Makes one understand that unlike your expectations, in reality, most people don't really give a shit about whatever you do or look like. A fleeting glance is all you'll actually get.
Maybe you'll get more than a glance. But that need not always turn out to be a bad thing, as I learned. When a slouching old man in a lungi, t shirt and a dirty (white, once upon a time) cloth wrapped around his head stopped near me and grunted, I put my guards up and pointedly ignored him. He grunted again and pointed to something on the ground; a bright blue hanky, which could have easily belonged to me. I shook my head to say no, but he walked away without waiting for my reply.
So that's how the beach works in the morning. Just you, the sun, the water and the sand. And some harmless pigeons.

We're excited to announce general availability of CitusDB 4.0, which is based on the new PostgreSQL 9.4 release. CitusDB is our full featured, turnkey database solution for fully scalable, highly-available PostgreSQL. A licensed solution, CitusDB allows you to scale out PostgreSQL across commodity servers and also parallel process queries across the cluster for real-time analytics on big data.
This release brings exciting new functionality and performance improvements, including:
CitusDB 4.0 is based on PostgreSQL 9.4.0, and is binary incompatible with CitusDB 3.0. As a result, the install path for the new version has changed from /opt/citusdb/3.0 to /opt/citusdb/4.0 in order to allow for multiple versions of Citus DB to be installed in parallel.
If you are running CitusDB 3.0 and want to upgrade to v4.0, you will need to run pg_upgrade on your all nodes, and manually reload your distributed metadata. For specifics, please get in touch with us so we can assist with the upgrade process. If you are downloading and using CitusDB for the first time, please follow the installation instructions found in the CitusDB documentation page.
Download it now at citusdata.com/downloads.
Last month we went to PGConf.Russia and gave a talk on pg_shard which is available for download on GitHub. pg_shard is an open source PostgreSQL extension which allows users to scale out their database by creating a cluster of commodity servers. pg_shard shards the database and replicates the shards across the cluster, allowing users to both easily scale out as well as create a high availability cluster. The video from my talk is now available for all to see:
We got some very interesting questions during the talk that we wanted to highlight and clarify.
We would like to thank the organizers for a great conference and providing the recording of the talk! If you would like more information on pg_shard or on common use cases for scaling out PostgreSQL, please visit the Citus Data website.

Tide tables and solunar tables for sport fishers in San Francisco. Find out the forecast for high tides and low tides before setting out to fish, and other fishing-related data such as the lunar phase, tidal coefficient, sun and moon rising and setting times, hours of maximum fish activity, weather conditions in San Francisco ...
We want you to enjoy to the max a well-planned fishing expedition! Good luck!
Today Friday, 27th of March of 2015, the sun will rise in San Francisco at 7:01 am and sunset will be at 7:29 pm. The moon set at 2:20 am at 293º northwest. Eventually, the moon will rise again in the northeast (68º) at 12:46 pm.
In the high tide and low tide chart, we can see that the first high tide was at 5:44 am and the next high tide will be at 8:07 pm. The only low tide of the day will be at 12:44 pm.
The lunar phase is a First Quarter Moon. Today we will have 12 hours and 28 minutes of sun. The solar transit will be at 1:15 pm and the length of time the moon will be visible will be 13 hours and 34 minutes.
The tidal coefficient today is 39, a low value, which means that the range (difference between high tide and low tide) will be lower than on other occasions and the currents will also be small. At noon the tidal coefficient drops to 38 to end the day with a tidal coefficient of 39. The tide heights today are 5.2 ft, 0.3 ft and 4.6 ft. We can compare these levels with the maximum high tide recorded in the tide tables for San Francisco which is of 7.2 ft and a minimum height of -2.0 ft.
The solunar fishing calendar in San Francisco tells us that today is a good day for fishing, the fish activity forecast is high. Please, read more about solunar tables. The best times of day for fishing are:
Tide timetable for San Francisco. The times are generated in local time in California and the daylight saving time change is calculated automatically, so you don't need to add or subtract anything. You will also have the lunar phase, sunrise and sunset times, the tidal coefficient and the average fish activity forecast for each day according to the solunar tables:
[ 0 low activity ] , [ average activity ] , [ high activity ] , [ very high activity ]
NOTE: The times reflected in the tide table for San Francisco are tide forecasts only valid as references for sport fishing. They shouldn't be used as a guide for navigation. The heights are expressed in feet referenced to Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW).
MLLW is the average of the lower low water height of each tidal day observed over the official time segment over which tide observations are taken and reduced to obtain mean value (Tidal Datum Epoch).

Check these out, too...
Up until the 1900s, wealthy young women
in China had their feet bound because small feet were considered ladylike and
beautiful. Much like having pale skin several hundred years ago in Western
Europe meant that you didn't have to work outdoors and were thus part of the
upper class, having your feet bound in China meant that you physically couldn't
work. Binding your feet started at a very young age—from two to five years
old—and involved breaking the toe joints so you could bend them toward the sole
of your foot. It was incredibly painful and often resulted in infection and
life-long disability.
I'm not telling you this to gross you
out, but to show you how some women have gone to great lengths for smaller
feet. While I'm sure there are some surgeons out there who would be willing to
alter the length of the bones in your feet to make them smaller, I am just as
sure that there are far more surgeons and doctors who would absolutely not
recommend destroying your body in such a way.
I know it's not fun to be limited by
your shoe size, but instead of thinking of what your feet don't allow you to
do, like wearing a lot of girly shoes, focus on what they can do, like carry you across the finish line when you run the mile
in gym. To find the shoes you're craving, you might have to get creative. Try
shopping online at places like Zappos,
which let you search by shoe size to find the pair of your dreams.

Disney failing to sell the DVD of the TV show "Path to 9/11".
Could this be to help out the campaign of Hillary Clinton?
Disney refused to sell the rights to Lyon's Gate.
Bob Iger claims the business decision was proper and made.
Did you get Disney's responce to these questions? Or is it not appropriate for micechat?
Rights to Peter and the Starcatchers, will any movie made?
Bob Iger, no final decision has been made
Quarterly dividend compared to a yearly dividend?
Disney does it yearly to save the costs of printing the checks, due to the large amount of shareholders.
Will there be a Pirates 4 movie?
Bob Iger, we loved Pirates1,2, and 3, but can't make a commitment on 4, but we are looking in to it.
Next question, the Song of the South being released.
Bob Iger, we do not have plans to release it at the present time.
Cool. Thanks Darkbeer. I really cannot listen so I am relying on you to help keep us as informed as you usually do.
Much appreciated.
Is there a chance for a Worldwide Disney Parks Annual Pass?
Bob Iger, never has been considered
Someone needs to ask why the stock price has been dropping steadily over the past week.
Silly question about Disney looking to buy other companies.
Basically the response, we can't disclose that.
Will Disney offer a "Vault Disney" Channel.
Bob Iger, we are releasing classic shows on DVD.
Bob Iger looking at the Internet for distribution of the classic product, either free or for a subscription in the near future
Share Buyback possibilities?
Tom Staggs states that Disney does not announce the amount they will buy back in advance
Can DVC members get discounts on Annual Passes?
Bob asked the person the person which DVC location she has a membership.
Next question.
New Park locations, and in specific, a third gate in Anaheim.
We have "expansion possibilities" and are looking at it.
But the main focus is on DCA and improving that at the current time.
Could Magical Express be offered in Anaheim, as similar to Orlando.
Bob Iger, probably not, due to the differences in volume as compared to Orlando and Anaheim.
Comment, "A Year of a Million Dreams" campaign is faboulous
Fantasia followup, will they make a Fantasia 3?
The answer is no, we are not developing a third version.
Disney is looking to strengthen ties with fans, especially the Disneyana group.

You should make this into a full story instead of a one shot like how everyone will react when they find out there's more going on with ian and mickeys
"Friendship" then they know
| Joda93 chapter 1 . 4/12/2013
This is one of the best i ever read before, Keep going!
| Guest chapter 1 . 4/11/2013
I really like the stories you write not from Mickey or Ian's perspective. Maybe because they naturally are less sappy? It feels more like the TV show where we get a feel for Mickey and Ian's relationship not through their thoughts but their actions.
| talyag chapter 1 . 4/11/2013
hehe cute i like how fiona is still clueless
| rensei-chan chapter 1 . 4/11/2013
Mickey being all protective is so lovely. I love how he stuck up for Ian even without being asked to. Like it was just a natural response for anyone trying to touch his Gallagher.
Loved this

This post seems like the "double dip" debate. Will we or will we not quickly fall back into recession after the recovery? Buffet just said he didn't think so. Buttonwood's is a good Economist correspondent and is cautious. I think the trend is that the New Normal doesn't only mean slower growth (and double dips)in rich countries but unprecendented economic growth and independence in the "emerging" ones, especially BRIC's (or is it now BIC's or BIIndonesiaC's). It's as if the chains are off and now nobody is anybody's boy. Boy, Oh, Boy. I just returned from Sao Paulo and everything (investment, markets, consumer power, people) just feels like it's on fire. While in the States a few weeks earlier, everything felt exactly the opposite. The new normal.
BUTTONWOOD's car recently gave up the ghost and, reluctantly, I was forced into a "cash for clunkers" deal. These schemes are clearly a success in sales terms; indeed, Nissan called yesterday to say the new vehicle would not be available until late October. But what happens when the scheme ends?
Germany has just finished its very successful clunkers scheme. According to Lombard Street Research, in July euro are car sales were up 10.2% year-on-year (seasonally adjusted). But as clunkers' schemes ended, the annual sales figures for August showed a 1.4% decline (month-on-month, new car registrations fell 6.1%).
There was a huge gain in American car sales in August - 10.6% month-on-month, which helped boost retail sales 2.7%. But this too will fade. And the cost of financing those cars will cut consumers' spending power on everything else.
The chances are that clunkers' schemes either helped buyers with little choice (like your correspondent) or simply caused some buyers to advance their purchases. Lombard points out that a similar French scheme in the mid-1990s was followed by a halving of car sales.
This only adds to my worries about the Weekend at Bernie's aspects of this recovery (and kudos to "Hedge fund guy" who first used the analogy). The Japanese spent much of the 1990s propping up their economy and sticking sunglasses on its face; every time they let go, it slumped again.
Central bankers clearly share some of these fears. Mervyn King was talking of a "slow and protracted recovery" only this morning.

I absolutely love exploring new places and trying new things. When I travel, I like to experience all the great things a city has to offer, but at the end of the day I like going home to a cozy, comfortable accommodation so I'm very particular about where I stay when travelling.
I'm also a very organized person so when I stay at other people's properties, I make sure that everything is in order while I'm there and before I leave so you don't have to worry about me being a bad guest :-)

Hi this is my version of a tool for relinking (missing) bitmaps which can not be found for whatever reasons (changed paths, moved files etc.). It is pretty straightforward and works with almost any type of asset (maps, HDRIs, IES files) as long as it can be referenced and seen in the asset browser. Due to copyright restrictions I can not publish the code right now but I hope that it can help you anyways until max itself has a better management for assets.

I think it is one of the the most important update for years. Of course being the first version. it has some rough edges. I hope this script smooth out the rough edges a little bit.
Some of scripts are for old layer manager functionality. Some of scripts are for nested layers. Some of scripts are for frequent user request items.

More Evidence of Retrenchment as Cost Cutting Bites
Regular readers of the Business Studies blog will have noted the many examples of retrenchment which have arisen in recent years. Students who'd like an introduction to the concept of retrenchment might also find this revision presentation handy.
It pays to look out for examples of retrenchment in the business news because the stories themselves usually provide examples of wider strategic issues being faced by the firms involved. Take these three recent examples I picked up from the news in the last 7 days...
Kodak has been going through a painful process of retrenchment after it was declared bankrupt. The company will cut another 1,000 jobs by the end of 2012 having already reduced its workforce by about 2,700 worldwide since the beginning of this year.
Kodak, which is in the process of auctioning about 1,000 patents, needs to raise nearly $700m (£440m) to repay its creditors and exit bankruptcy. The firm said it expects to save about $330m from the new job cuts.
Another household name looking to achieve significant cost reductions is Philips Electronics. The firm has said it will axe 2,200 more jobs as it battles the tough economic climate and attempts to save 1.1bn euros (£877m) in annual costs. The announcement was made by Philips' CEO Frans van Houten who has announced a strategy of improved efficiency and reduced complexity in the business. Van Houten also wants to change the culture at Philips to make it more entrepreneurial.
In his first year as boss, Van houten responded to tougher competition and a slowdown in demand by cutting thousands of jobs, replacing his entire executive team and making the company's unprofitable television operation a joint venture.
And one final example of retrenchment to help make the point that many substantial businesses are continuing to look closely at the scale and scope of their operations in response to the continued economic downturn.
RBS insurance arm Direct Line Group announced last week proposals to axe nearly 900 roles and close a site in the North East of England. The group, which owns the Churchill, Green Flag brands and employs some 15,000 staff in the UK, is planning the redundancies as part of plans to make £100 million of cost-savings by the end of 2014.
AQA BUSS4 Exam Coaching & Revision Workshops

Each of the five workshop sessions introduces and builds effective essay planning and writing technique. We do this in the context of looking at both Manufacturing in the UK (Section A) and core topics for Section B including leadership, change management, technology, strategic choice and globalisation.

New and Confused...
Hi Everyone,
I am new to mosaics. I would like to make some outdoor mosaics using stained glass. I understand that it is best to use thin set as the adhesive. I'm wondering how this works if the glass is transparent? It seems like it would dull the color. Does anyone know of any clear adhesive that is strong enough for outdoor use?
Thanks in advance =)
I used GE Silicone II clear for windows and doors on my outdoor glass-on-glass piece and I am very happy with the result.
Here is a link that might be useful: Silva's blog
but if you aren't doing a GOG and you are using transparent glass then you would want a bright white substrate... so use white thinset?
Thank you all for your responses! For my first project I am just doing a stepping stone placing the tiles on a premade stepping stone. My first thought was to prime the stepping stone in white and then use a clear adhesive. I didn't realize at the time that the thin set I have IS WHITE....duh. It worked fine under the stained glass. Unfortunately I ordered vitreous glass for the rest of the tiles and just don't like the look of it. I'm going to order clear glass tiles and think the white thin set should work great underneath. Thanks again everyone!

text: While we're on the subject of preventing dry skin during the autumn and winter months, we might as well take a little look at the shower. If you love hot, long showers and baths then you could actually be drying your skin out by damaging the outer layer of the dermis. Water also wipes away the natural oils in the skin, causing dry, chapped and even scaly skin. Try not to have your showers too hot. If your skin goes red and itchy, you've gone too far!

Stack-On 22 Gun Safe 5 5
Stack on 22gun safe Looks like a well made safe like the color .good enough for for what I needit for. December 25, 2014
Gun Safe I believe I have made an intelligent purchase in buying this safe. It seems to be a good solid safe and it will hold all of my guns. I would have liked a little more room for the smaller guns, but I can work that out myself. December 6, 2014
Good as you'll find at this price I looked at quite a few safes before deciding on this one, and am quite happy with it. Actually, if you're spending less than double this amount, you aren't really getting a true break in protection safe. It'll keep the kids out, and will deter a smash and grab theif, but not a determined one with tools. It is rated for 1400degrees for 30 min, so that's a plus. It weighs over 400lbs empty (need moving equip and a friend or two to move it), mechanical lock, external hinges to open the door past 90 degrees, and finish is a nice gloss black. The interior finish (carpet on shelves and such) leaves a bit to be desired, but nothing I can't easily correct. As others said, it's actual capacity is a bit less than rated depending on what you've got in there. Also, not drilled for electrical cord as they say it would void fire rating. Floor is pre-drilled for included anchors. Bottom line, I like it a lot for the $$. Paid $550 on sale and they rolled it right out into my truck for me. Don't have to worry about keeping my guns and ammo in a closet and under the bed anymore. March 3, 2013
just ok For the money I expected more. The fit and finish is pretty poor and the interior leaves a lot to be desired. I guess it's better than having my guns and ammo stuffed in a closet. February 15, 2013
I love this product I live this product! My husband purchased these for me for Christmas February 5, 2013

bump for Moon Lady.
Diana x Me
Geez this thread was from ages ago. But I miss it so yeah. She will not be touched for a long time unfortunately. It's been over two years since she was raped by nerfs then spayed for good measure. I honestly feel like if she were reverted to her first set of nerfs she would be fine. The second set of nerfs were unjustified. Considering how strong so many champions are now she is really sub par. I love how they basically reworked rengar right away but shelve her like it's no big deal. So disapointing.
I just think a QOL buff would be all that's needed. Give me back s3 Diana, or at least extend the range of her ult to match her max Q distance. I'd love to be able to QR onto Dragon or Baron again for insane steals. Give me a shield that acutally does something early game, too.
Bump 'cause it's been almost 7 months, for changes that really should not be too complicated.
You want to make her into more of an "AP Fighter" than assassin. Look at Gragas, perfect example of that done so it's very desirable on a team.
Currently Diana is outperformed by Akali as an assassin, and Gragas as an AP fighter. She can be useful when fed, but her numbers are so low that it's hard to get fed against competent opponents. She's not a desirable pick right now.
Diana was mentioned in another thread and ai decided to be pompous and see if Vesh would come back.
Why would anyone pick diana to be an fighter . Have none of you read her lore? She's supposed to be an assassin . Just because she currently has one shield in her kit does not mean she's made to be a fighter .
For the record guy most of us Diana players don't want bruiser Diana

Meet Lauren Alston, the Rocker fighting street harassment in Alberta, Canada.
Why do you HOLLA? I HOLLA because I am more than just body parts, because I'm not on this planet to please someone's eyes, and so that street harassment doesn't become accepted as part of what we get for walking down the street.
What's your signature Hollaback? Probably more of a disgusted facial expression. What I say depends on the situation, but I like: "It's sad how you guys still haven't figured out that it doesn't work!"
What's your craft? Finishing my Science degree Specializing in Psychology at the University of Alberta. My goal is to pursue a career in Neuropsychology.
HOLLAfact about your city: Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, is Canada´s Festival City, hosting over 30 festivals every year!
What was your first experience with street harassment? Getting called "hey sexy" by some random man when I was about 12 or 13. At the time I was uncomfortable. It's disgusting how I was even viewed as a sexual object since I was still a kid.
Define your style: It honestly depends on my mood. There usually is a little rocker thread somewhere I guess
What do you collect? Music, textbooks, beanie babies (woo TY originals!), wish I had more graphic novels…
Say you're Queen for the day. What would you do to end street harassment? That's a good question. It is tough because I think the biggest issue with street harassment is that it is ingrained in our society. It is something so ubiquitous that it has become accepted and often unattended to. It is a slow process when attempting to change the culture of a society so I´m not sure what I would do in only one day…
If you could leave the world one piece of advice, what would it be? Anything worth anything is hard work.
In the year 2020, street harassment … is a widely discussed issue and has been addressed by the government!

Are stomachaches and messy potty breaks frequent occurrences for little ones in your home? "Stomach problems" happen to
everyone, and children are no exception. Sometimes an upset tummy is just an upset tummy, but children, just like adults, can suffer from food allergies and sensitivities, and just like adults these allergies and sensitivities can and should be addressed.
Vincent Biank, MD, Pediatric Gastroenterology at NorthShore, answers some common questions about GI food allergies and sensitivities
in children:
Is there an easy, relatively non-invasive test to see which foods a child is allergic or sensitive to?
There are several simple blood tests for allergies but unfortunately we do not have simple tests for sensitivities that are accurate in children; therefore, we will commonly have to do an elimination diet. We will remove one food item at a time for
two weeks and then replace that food item after those two weeks, carefully documenting any changes in the symptoms. The two most common sensitivities are lactose and gluten. I would not recommend removing gluten from a child's diet until they have been properly
tested for Celiac disease otherwise you will just need to add it back in for one to two months before it can be accurately checked in the blood.
What foods are typically off-limits for child with soy and dairy allergies? Is it possible to eliminate these foods entirely from a child's diet?
Soy and diary are in almost everything, so eliminating them is difficult. For this reason, we will have our pediatric dieticians work with families to make sure no soy or dairy in getting into a patient's diet. Until then, check labels! Anything that
has soy, soy protein, milk, milk protein, casein or whey in its label should be avoided.
Are children with GI food allergies more likely to develop other GI-related issues as young adults and adults?
Unfortunately we don't have enough data to answer this question at this time. Although food allergy with typical symptoms of anaphylaxis, hives, trouble breathing etc. has been diagnosed and treated for many years, the majority of the GI manifestations
of food allergy are recent in their discovery. For example it wasn't until 1995 that Eosinophilic Esophagitis was even considered a diagnosis and now we are diagnosing it one to two times per week. The result is we still don't have a clear idea of the natural
history of GI food allergies over time.
Should children with stomach "issues" be given probiotics, as well as brought in for testing?
The short answer is to go ahead and try probiotics prior to the visit. The long answer is that unfortunately we are only at the beginning of our understanding of what probiotics do, such as which varieties are best, how much to give and how long they
should be taken.
What are some of the warning signs of GI issues in toddlers/children? Should a parent be concerned about frequent loose stools?
The biggest sign of GI issues is poor weight gain. Diarrhea can be a symptom of an underlying GI disorder but not always. We frequently see toddlers with loose stools with no additional systemic signs of disease, like poor weight gain; therefore, we
will typically rule out some common GI-related problems. If tests are negative, we will then discuss how to thicken the stool.
Are the foods known to cause GI allergic reactions in kids the same as those that cause skin or more severe allergic reactions? What are the common foods for GI allergies?
Yes, for some individuals the foods that cause GI allergic symptoms could also cause skin and the typically more severe allergic reaction; however, this is not the case for everyone. Some individuals will only have GI symptoms and others will only
have skin or respiratory symptoms. The most common foods for GI allergies are the "Big Six:" milk, soy, wheat, eggs, nuts and fish.
Does your child have a food allergy or sensitive that results in GI issues?
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder of the large intestine that can cause symptoms ranging from
cramping and bloating to constipation and diarrhea. And while IBS does not cause the permanent damage of more severe intestinal diseases like Crohn's or ulcerative colitis, it can and often does negatively interfere with one's day-to-day life.
There are many ways to control the symptoms of IBS. Treatment often focuses on learning to avoid trigger foods and making healthy lifestyle changes, from the times that you eat to how much and how fast. That's not all you can do though. Learning to control
stress can also make a big impact for those suffering from IBS.
Alison Reynard, PhD, Psychology at NorthShore, discusses how stress, depression and anxiety can aggravate the symptoms of
IBS and how changing the way you think might be able to help:
My gastroenterologist referred me to a psychologist. Does this mean my symptoms are all in my head?
Absolutely not. There are many myths about IBS and this is one of the most common. While IBS is not a psychological disorder, there are factors like stress and unhelpful habits, like eating rushed/unplanned meals, eating rapidly and lack of exercise, which
can exacerbate your IBS symptoms. IBS can also impact your mood and other aspects of your life.
Is stress causing my IBS symptoms?
IBS is not caused by stress but stress can aggravate its symptoms. Keep in mind that many people do develop abdominal discomfort during times of stress; however, people with IBS tend to be more reactive to stress than others since they already have a hypersensitive
gut. The research has also shown that IBS symptoms can get worse during episodes of stress.
Is it true that my doctor won't be able to identify the cause of my symptoms?
Research has established that there is a medical cause for your symptoms. IBS is a real disorder related to heightened gut motility (i.e., muscle contractions), sensations, or both. Triggers for symptoms can be widespread and may include factors like food,
hormones and stress.
Doesn't severe pain mean this must be a medical cause?
We have learned that there are many factors that are responsible for our experience of pain. Pain can be worsened with anxiety, arousal and increased attention. If we become focused on our pain, it tends to make our pain worse. There are many behavioral techniques
that can help manage pain including distraction and relaxation techniques.
Can IBS cause depression and anxiety?
IBS may cause depression and anxiety because it can be difficult to manage a chronic and unpredictable disorder. A lot of people with IBS may begin to avoid social situations because they have anxiety about their symptoms "acting up" in public. This
isolation can cause depression and may prevent symptoms of anxiety from improving.
Can seeing a health psychologist help with my IBS?
Taking care of our health involves paying attention to not only our physical health but also to our emotional well-being, including how our habits influence our health and well-being. We know that there are many factors that impact IBS (e.g., food,
stress, hormones, activity, sleep, gut bacteria). Therefore, there is not one specific thing, including medication, which will eliminate symptoms. A health psychologist can help you identify how some of these factors are impacting you and how you can better
manage them to improve your symptoms.
How can my thinking affect my IBS?
Sometimes we can think in ways that make it difficult for us to cope with IBS symptoms. One common thinking pattern we can get ourselves into is called emotional reasoning. This occurs when we assume that the way feel must be true. For example, if you tell
yourself that you'd love to go to that new restaurant that just opened up down the street but that you could never go because your symptoms might act up, this is a problem-thinking pattern that might not be helping you.
Have you practice mindfulness to relieve gastrointestinal issues?
Colon cancer is one of the most preventable
cancers in the United States—nearly 90% preventable with colonoscopy. Despite this, it is the second leading cause of cancer death, affecting more than 29,000 men and women in this country each year.
NorthShore Gastroenterologist,
Monica Borkar, MD, provides a list of risk factors that affect the development of colon polyps—and thereby, colon cancer—including:
Colon cancer starts as a polyp, or growth, in the colon. These polyps grow slowly over many years, and larger ones are more likely to be dangerous.
In most cases people do not have symptoms, although common symptoms of colon cancer include:
National guidelines recommend that individuals with a lack of the risk factors listed above undergo colonoscopy at age 50. Colonoscopy for colon cancer screening—a 20-minute procedure—is the most important test to check for polyps and cancer, even before
symptoms arise, and leads to prompt diagnosis and treatment with an excellent survival rate.
Are you surprised by any of the risk factors listed above?
