Sebi to strengthen surveillance system, eyes 24/7 monitoring

With an aim to deploy latest technology and know-how to tackle ever-changing nature of threats to investor interest, Sebi is looking to overhaul its market surveillance and network monitoring systems.
In this regard, the capital markets regulator Sebi (Securities and Exchange Board of India) has begun a process to rope an IT service provider for monitoring of its IMSS (Integrated Market Surveillance System) network through a Network Monitoring Centre that would operate on a 24/7 basis.
The IT service provider would be contracted by Sebi for a period of three years, which can be later extended for six years, a senior official said.
Sebi undertakes its market surveillance functions through IMSS, which went live in 2007 and collects data for suspicious market activities through multiple sources, including its network systems at stock exchanges and depositories.
The IT service provider would need to monitor this network on a daily basis and would be required to have a highly competent Security Monitoring Operations Centre, which would operate on a 24/7 basis.
This Security Monitoring Operations Centre would be used for remote monitoring of security and surveillance infrastructure of IMSS, provide periodic security status reports to Sebi and real-time status reports through an online facility, and propose changes in light of latest security best practices and latest security threats.
Sebi would consider only those companies for the job that have been in the business for at least ten years, have had a minimum networth of Rs 100 crore in last three years and a workforce of 25,000 personnel or more.
The service provider would need to deploy its qualified resident engineers at Sebi's IMSS data centres, as also for managing various other network systems.
The move is aimed at helping Sebi in its efforts towards a stronger continuous monitoring of manipulation attempts in the stock market and analysis of daily transaction data.

Cast as the alcohol-addled 90210 matriarch Tabitha, Walter is practically reprising her role as Lucille Bluth from Arrested Development — and until the big-screen AD movie comes, we'll take whatever we can get. Our ongoing crusade for more Walter footage (hereby known as Bluthwatch '08) has thus far fallen on deaf CW ears, and when we saw the network's new Shannen Doherty promo last week, we knew it was time to take matters into our own hands. With the help of Molly McAleer (and Hulu ), we've cut together our own 90210 promo touting the show's real icon. Won't you join us in a chicken dance of anticipation?

As CDM Stalls, Wind Energy Drifts in China
More than a dozen wind power projects failed to win international CDM funds, raising questions about the sector's direction
Wind energy advocates fear a recent decision by an international board overseeing the UN Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) may have dealt a devastating blow to China's CDM process.
Others worry that the damage inflicted by a CDM executive board decision March 26 in Bonn may stretch beyond China, perhaps upsetting the entire global carbon credits exchange market.

CSR plc (LSE: CSR; NASDAQ: CSRE) is making it far easier for device manufacturers to deliver multi-room networked home audio products thanks to the VibeHub platform, launched today at CES 2014. The platform, available now to developers, will enable consumers to enjoy synchronized multi-room audio around the home using its SyncLock technology. This technology enables products to take content from any local or cloud-based source and create an unparalleled multi-room audio experience over an existing home Wi-Fi® network.
The VibeHub platform gives developers a way to create whole home audio systems that are quick and easy to bring to market. CSR's industry proven technology can be easily integrated and gives developers flexibility to differentiate their designs and determine the end-user experience.
The fully featured VibeHub platform can be used to build wireless speakers, intelligent audio adaptors, networked audio amplifiers and a wide range of other consumer audio products. These devices can simultaneously pull content from multiple sources including digital media servers, Internet radio or cloud services and distribute around the home autonomously. VibeHub's extensible networking capabilities enable interoperability with a wide range of today's popular wireless streaming protocols, including Apple's AirPlay, which means that consumers aren't limited to buying into a specific ecosystem.
The platform's Bluetooth® capabilities enable consumers to stream audio from a wide range of mobile devices, making it easy to share music over the home network to any room without the Bluetooth audio source device having to join the home Wi-Fi network.
"Consumers want networked audio products that accommodate any input and music source they want to use, and allow them to listen to different content in different rooms without any effort," says Anthony Murray, Senior Vice President, Business Group at CSR. "Building on CSR's strong audio heritage, we have developed a flexible platform that enables manufacturers to offer consumers cost-effective whole home audio systems that 'just work' - giving them the experience they desire."
Key features
- Access point agnostic: VibeHub does not rely on special features in a home's access point so there is no need for end users to purchase additional equipment
- Most extensive connectivity functionality: The SyncLock technology inside VibeHub enabled products allows for more connectivity options than any other solution on the market, including Bluetooth, Bluetooth Smart, 802.11n, Ethernet, SPDIF as well as analogue jacks
- Interoperability with a wide range of devices: Common music sources including Windows PC, Android, as well as Apple iOS and OSX devices are interoperable. The system allows bridging into a network via existing protocols which lowers the cost of entry for the consumer as they can use existing music sources in the home
- Consumer experience: The VibeHub takes advantage of CSR aptX® coding technologies for high-quality audio over a Bluetooth connection and a higher bitrate version with forward error correction (FEC) for IP networks. This high quality IP network variant is supported by SyncLock technology, which has been developed for broadcast Audio Over IP applications. SyncLock distributes audio over the network and enables tight synchronization between speakers, meaning there is no noticeable time-lapse experienced by listeners in different rooms. The system can also support multi-user scenarios, giving users the option to listen to different music in different rooms, from a variety of different sources
- Intuitive system control: CSR has developed Android and iOS apps to control the system which can be easily reskinned by end brands to fit with their look and feel. Many controllers can be used concurrently, enabling a true multi-user, multi-room audio experience

Love Hate Lounge on South Beach Closes, Public House to Take Its Place
Peace out Love Hate. Gone are the days of your tattoo art, smoke, and loud music.
Love Hate Lounge via Facebook.com
Love Hate Lounge has called 423 Washington Avenue home since Miami Ink stars Chris Nuñez and Ami James opened the pin-up and skull tattoo themed bar in 2007.
The lounge kept its badass biker charm intact, but became more music oriented in 2012 when the guys turned the keys over to DJ Self Born, the man behind the weekly hip-hop bash, Classic Sundays.
And after almost six years on SoBe, Love Hate has called it quits.
In its place will be Public House, the "vintage, Western-style saloon meets modern-day 2013 Miami Beach" lounge from the guys behind Foxhole, set to open the first week of October.

"It's very vintage with a classic, earthy feel...with a lot of wood and stones," explains Foxhole's Jaycen Cochran, one of the masterminds behind Public House.
"There will be TVs, a small game room with classic games like pinball, billiards, darts, stuff like that. There will also be a jukebox and an occasional DJ."
Although Love Hate is no more, Self Born's ever-growing Sunday night hip-hop party lives on at Room Service.
"Sunday was the day that was packed at Love Hate," admits Self Born.
"Everybody that was coming to Love Hate is now coming to Room Service. There's more space and bottle service and food available for those who want it. [It] answers all the problems of Love Hate."
And for those who want an escape from the smoky (and some of the best) dive bars that dot SoBe, Public House will solve that problem.
"[It's] going to be a neighborhood-style saloon venue delivering classic cocktails, looks, and feel," Cochran adds.
With decently priced cocktails and beer, no indoor smoking, and working hours from 5 p.m. til 5 a.m., we're pretty sure Public House will fit in the neighborhood just fine.

I really enjoyed this movie when I saw it at London Film and Comic Con and look forward to rewatching this on bluray (when it gets released later this month in the UK).
I really like Hosoda's movies and wish Funimation would hurry up and license his One Piece Movie for a US release

"Hosoda can never really bring himself to tell the story from his heroine Hana's perspective"
I don't know, when I watched the movie I felt more like the film was primarily about Hana. It felt like her story more than anything. Yeah, Hana wasn't the narrator, but the whole film to me felt like it was about her struggle as a mother. The kids didn't really come into their own until close to the end of the film, but even then the focus is still on Hana.

It's hard for me to finish this movie because of the spoiler[death of the father], though not sure that's a spoiler... Anyway. It just made me so depressed, spoiler[the way his body was discarded], just...
Made me so sad. Hopeless.

Agreed, honestly it seems to me that Hope completely missed the thematic point of the movie.
While the movie was told from the daughter's perspective, the story is ultimately about Hana or I should say the sacrifices mother's make out of love for their children.
Also yes the events flashed by but that was another point of the movie that time itself flashes by and when you look back you wonder where the time went.
It is a shame that such a wonderful movie got such a low grade. It really deserved better. This was one of the best anime films to come out in a long time and all it gets is a C for story, wow.
And yet I have seen plenty of mediocre films and series get a B or better. This is what happens when reviews are based on only one person's opinions.

Glad to see a clear-eyed write-up of this movie which recognizes its faults as well as its strengths. This one has been hyped-up so much.
Another animated film with similar themes and less problems from about the same time is Leafy, from South Korea.
How is the focus still on Hana when she appears so infrequently in the final third of the movie? She doesn't even seem to react much when her children spoiler[transform into wolves and wreck the house seriously fighting each other].
As opposed to what? A popularity poll?
I guess I should be used to "this review is wrong because I don't agree with it" posts by now.

Yeah, that definitely runs counter to my experience and perception as well. When I first watched this a while ago, a friend who watched it with us had the immediate reaction of "you know, fairy tales are generally told from the perspective of the children in them - it's so refreshing to see one told from the perspective of the mother instead."

So every single review ever written, then.
I had a lot of issues with Wolf Children myself, but most of them boiled down to Hana - she isn't a character, she's SUPERMOM, unflappable in all situations, calm in every crisis, handling everything life throws at her with kindness and patience, which isn't realistic at all and took me right out of the film.
One scene where she didn't react like World's Greatest Mom or maybe made one parenting mistake or lost her temper or something that real people do would've gone a very long way toward humanizing her and giving the film the element of slight realism it desperately needed.

This review is very well written. I enjoyed it despite not entirely agreeing with the hearty disappointment. Those grand emotions in the film do lack depth, but the fantasy it sweeps you away in was enough to distract me from the distant characters. It's as if we weren't allowed to get inside their minds.
If only Hosoda had gone all the way with telling the story from Yuki's perspective and not confused us with how to approach Hana, then the fantasy would have been full-fledged and been free to soar. But since it didn't, I felt more like an onlooker to this tale rather than a central character. In that way, it's like having this story relayed to you,leaving that overall vagueness and glorification of events.
I feel the score deserves more recognition for carrying those grand emotions. So much weight was put on it and I felt it performed wonderfully.
Anyway, this review was unbiased, but thoughtful and did exactly what it needed to. And peppered with just enough flowery words to add color, but not detract ("cloying," "teeming," "bastions").

I'll preface this by saying I haven't seen the movie yet, this is just from how I'm interpreting Hope's review. But there is a difference between the story being ABOUT Hana and being told from Hana's perspective. In the first form, we know what happened to her; in the second, we know how she feels about what happened to her. I think that's the point Hope is trying to get across. But, again, haven't seen the movie yet (dying to), so feel free to ignore me if I'm way off on this.

No, I was going to mention that - the film is not told from Hana's perspective. You're spot on.

What? She is constantly making mistakes. spoiler[Not knowing what to do when her daughter eats a silica packet and is throwing up. (Pediatrician or veterinarian? which to choose...) Child protective services comes knocking because of a lack of immunizations. There are more...] The fact that she is resilient and is able to deal with her mistakes doesn't mean she isn't making them.
I loved the film and seriously had trouble choking up thinking about it for several hours after watching it the first time. As a parent, it was an amazing film.
Exactly. I didn't get the line in the review about him not being able to bring himself to tell the story from her perspective. It isn't told from her perspective, so why should he bring himself to do so?

Right but there is a difference when a series/film grade is based on only ONE review and when you are looking at it from aggregate review sites, that was the point I was making.
I disagree with this being a flaw. Again the story was told from the perspective of the daughter. To her maybe her mom was unflappable. She saw everything what her mother went through for her and her brother and this is the Hana she saw. That doesn't mean Hana was actually perfect but from a character perspective it works.
To put it into more perspective Hosoda actually based this story on the feelings for his own mother. The place where the film took place is based on the area of Japan where he grew up. He talked about how despite being sad that he was leaving home his mother completely supported him when he left for Tokyo to become an animator. This is tied to how the two children at the end of the film also leave Hana.
He thought of the sacrifices mothers make for their children and how they grow up and leave them in the end and this is the story he came up with.

See, I get that, but in that sense, it's still only about the children. We never see any of these events from Hana's perspective. We're told "she feels this way!" about a million times and we see her make decisions, but she never really feels like a human being with a past, ambitions, goals, flaws, etc., she feels like a mother as seen through the eyes of an admiring child. And that would be fine if the movie wasn't supposed to be her story, but it is, and it doesn't feel like her story, or even much of a story to be told, because Yuki doesn't seem to know her as a woman. There are so many really basic ways to characterize her that are never explored. Such as:
I love Fruits Basket and Beauty and the Beast, two stories that are often accused of having super Mary-Sue-y, Little Ms. Perfect lead characters, and I often buck against that, saying no, they're just human enough, with enough flaws, to resemble extremely kind, giving, unflappable people I know. I'm not averse to the archetype, I love the characters of Tohru and Belle. But Hana...it was just too much. She really did not feel like a human being at all, largely because you never quite feel like you know what she wants. (Tohru initially wants to graduate high school and make her mother proud, and through the course of the manga, decides she wants to break the Sohma curse. Belle initially wants "adventure in the great wide somewhere," and through the course of the movie, wants to live her life with the Beast, who she loves.) You're never inside her mind and heart, you're just sort of told about them, and even so, what you're told isn't very much to flesh her out.

The first bit you mentioned is a gag, resolved in seconds with a phone call, and the second is a plot point that drives the film into the second act, wrapped up tidily and without any kind of struggle at all.
She doesn't make mistakes as a parent in the film. It is one nonstop calm, collected and perfect response after another.
Again, I liked the film, but the characters felt very empty and inhuman to me. It's a love letter to Hosoda's single mother, which is fine and all, but it'd have been great if he'd fleshed her out as a human being instead of just being 2 hours of hero worship.
The point is that the way the film is structured, it doesn't come together thematically or emotionally - telling the story from Hana's perspective, attempting to get inside that character and make her human, that would've gone a very long way to give the film real emotional impact other than nostalgia and "gee whiz moms are great!" warm fuzzies, which is all the film really has to offer.

I think the story is about a mother told through the eyes of a child. It isn't so much the story about Hana as Hana but as Hana as a mother. Does that limit Hana's characterization a bit, well yes. But I think narrowing the focus works for a short film. And I think narrowing that focus made the film thematically stronger, at least for me.
I don't know if you ever saw the film "I Remember Mama" but this movie's themes (minus the whole wolf thing) reminds me of that movie.
In that movie, the mom played by Irene Dunne also came off as unflappable and strong and the story was told from the perspective of one of her children.

I have been involved in information technology, dental and medical research (former clinical editor with Dentistry Today magazine) and software design. Right now, I'm finishing my sixth book, and writing articles on Seeking Alpha for others who (like me) enjoy doing extensive investment research and profiting from it.
I am Seeking Alpha's CEO and Editor-in-Chief. My love for the stock markets goes back to when I was a kid. Who else remembers combing through the stock quotes at the back of the business section of your local paper?
I joined Seeking Alpha in 2006 and launched Wall Street Breakfast and Market Currents, our top-of-class short-form breaking news for investors. In 2010 I became editor-in-chief and in 2015 I became CEO.
I live in Jerusalem with my wife and a bunch of exceptional kids. Most days, you'll find me making the commute from Jerusalem to Raanana. Occasionally I get to work from my home-office, from where I keep an eye on the beautiful Judean Hills.

Investors adopt many different approaches that offer little or no real prospect of long-term success and considerable chance of substantial economic loss. Many are not coherent investment programs at all but instead resemble speculation or outright gambling.
I am an 'intelligent investor'. I am not a "value-investor", "growth-investor", "contrarian" or any other arbitrary label that has been perverted by the mainstream. The best way to invest is to be flexible and to seek opportunity across all asset classes. Use valuation methods and investment techniques that are fundamental/logical as opposed to using "models", comparables, or technical analysis.
I have a Bachelor's degree of Social Sciences in Economics. I hold a concentrated portfolio; encompassed largely by precious metal royalty/streaming companies.
I am an activist investor in US and Chinese stocks. I was previously an investment banker in New York Hong Kong and London for 9 years, focused on Equity Capital Markets. I look at both long ideas and short ideas and typically focus on a small number on names where I can spend the time to conduct very deep research. I spend my time living between Los Angeles and Beijing, China.
I am a Private Investor. Have been at it for quite a while. I have a bit of an activist streak.
Look for undervalued situations based on absolute value or relative value. I read my SEC or Sedar reports. Specialty is small thrifts in the U.S. trading as discounts to tangible book with earnings and lots of tangible equity to assets...........ie.............mutual to stock conversions.
I like hard asset plays right here for 25-30% of the portfolio. Oil and Gas. Uranium, Potash, Gold, Silver.

Markman Advisors specializes in the strategic analysis of investment opportunities presented by intellectual property—and in particular, patent—litigation activities. We are all USPTO-registered patent attorneys with decades of combined experience in patent litigation, licensing and procurement. After many years practicing at some of the world's largest and well-known law firms, we established and now run a premier intellectual-property boutique law firm, where we continue to practice patent litigation.
We have litigated numerous high-stakes patent cases in federal district courts throughout the country, as well as at the appellate level before the Federal Circuit. We are also experienced in USPTO proceedings, and have advised clients across a wide swath of technical areas with respect to patent-related matters.
Our base of former and current legal clients is diverse, from technology start-ups to some of the world's largest and most well-known corporations. Collectively, we have led those clients through numerous Markman hearings, summary judgment motions, trials and appeals – on both the offensive and defensive sides of a case.
Our patent litigation experience, coupled with our knowledge of the market for "patent play" stocks, is the alpha we bring to each patent litigation-driven investment opportunity.

I retired as CEO of an Automotive Parts supplier, and manage an investment portfolio for myself and family. I have a BA in History from Royal Military College of Canada and an MBA from the University of Western Ontario. My first career was as a fighter pilot in the RCAF, and, following my MBA I joined McKinsey & Company, Inc. leaving them for Canadian GE. I left CGE as a Vice President in 1984 and founded The Enfield Corporation Limited ("Enfield") which grew from 243 employees in 1984 to over 10,000 in 1989 when Enfield was taken over and I was replaced as CEO. In 1989, I acquired control of Algonquin Mercantile Corporation, renamed Automodular Corporation in the late 1990's when I turned it to focus exclusively on automotive parts sub-assembly. Along the way, Algonquin turned a few ageing drug stores into Pharmx Rexall Drug Stores Ltd., sold to Katz group in 1997 and today a major Canadian drug store chain. I have been a private investor since 1971 both directly and through a private company controlled by myself and members of my family.

I am a former financial communications programmer, turned full-time investor. I began investing in the mid-1990s, looking for a way to achieve early retirement. (A goal in which I have succeeded, if you don't consider full-time investing a job.) I took a scientific, experiment-based approach rather than a studious one. I feel that this approach, combined with my extensive programming work in financial markets and directly with traders has given me uncommon contrarian insight into what really drives market dynamics.
To that end, my articles will center around stocks and their derivatives because that's where I have the most experience (over 20 years). I may occasionally comment on currencies, where I believe I have a sound academic knowledge, but less trading experience.I will always refer to a company by name or some abbreviation thereof. By contrast, I will refer to the stock a company issues by its ticker symbol. I think it can be important to differentiate between the two.

I am a 32 yr old San Diego-based, private investor always looking for new investments. I like boring companies no one cares about and I just wait for the price to make sense. All of my most successful investments have been the easiest. I read about 6-8 hours a day, mostly investor relations websites and news. I use no financial modeling other than looking at financial statements and crunching a bunch of numbers in my head. I pride myself on efficiency, so I have taught myself to analyze businesses extremely quickly with just a few simple questions. I find merger arbitrage to be a great way to generate additional returns when I carry excess cash.
I am a scratch golfer who gets into plus handicap territory if I play a few times a week. I enjoy beaches, vacations and skiing. Life is pretty good.
Mr. Batson thinks the most important fundamental that ought to be considered when analyzing liquid assets is the necessary multidecadal trade-off in outperformance between stocks and commodities. This is a natural part of the business cycle that allows supplies of raw materials to be increased in response to the rising demand created by the economic expansions facilitated by epochal stock bull markets.
Mr. Batson is currently seeking new clients who fit the definition of "Qualified Eligible Persons." If you would like to discuss the markets with a trader who has consciously chosen to place himself outside the mainstream of investment thinking for the past decade, please contact Mr. Batson at email@example.com

At Valuentum, we think the best opportunities arise from a complete understanding of all investing disciplines in order to identify the most attractive stocks at any given time. Valuentum therefore analyzes each stock across a wide spectrum of philosophies, from deep value through momentum investing. We think companies that are attractive from a number of investment perspectives--whether it be growth, value, momentum, etc.--have the greatest probability of capital appreciation and relative outperformance. The more investors that are interested in the stock for reasons based on their respective investment mandates, the more likely it will move higher.
