Our Black Belt Instructors are constantly learning the latest techniques in Martial Arts education, and they train everyday as if they were still "White Belts" driven to reach their "Black Belt Excel-lence!" You can be sure that the whole family will find a new mentor in life, and will find that all of the Park's Black Belt Instructors support each student's personal goals.
With over 45 years of experience, GrandMaster Chong Park is the first born son of GrandMaster Jung Soo Park who founded Park's Taekwondo Federation over 50 years ago in South Korea. GrandMaster Chong Park is a KukKiWon certified 7th Dan Degree Black Belt, as well as International Certified Master Instructor and Regional KukKiWon certification examiner.
At age 23, GrandMaster Chong Park was the youngest featured cover personality in the publication TAEKWONDO TIMES Magazine. The article was titled "Next Generation of Masters" and was distributed in over 30 countries.
GrandMaster Chong Park is the co-founder of the K.A.M.A. (Korean American Martial Arts) organization, which is dedicated to increasing the standards of the Martial Arts Industry. He has also produced Olympians and numerous National Champions. In the past he has served on the USA Taekwondo governing body, United States Taekwondo Union, Tournament Committee for 10 years and he currently is an organizing member for U.S. National Hanmadang Championships.
It's been 13 years since I graduated from college and moved to the United States. Time goes by fast, but I still remember my first Taekwondo class here. I remember having a hard time because of my lack of English and cultural differences.
Currently, I am managing and teaching at the Park's Federation Coral Springs, and Boca Raton schools. Besides that, in a past 7 years I've been teaching Martial Arts Classes in many public schools in Broward and Palm Beach counties.
I believe that to be a great instructor you have to treat every student as you would treat your own child. You have to work patiently to discover and develop great potentials that every child has. It's especially important for younger students. As a martial arts instructor, it's my duty and privilege to teach them and to help them make their first steps on the path to leadership.
Born in a small town in Korea, I was a very shy child. Because of that, I couldn't do a lot of things that other kids my age were doing. Taekwondo was the only thing I was into since the age of 8, thanks to my father. Through practicing Taekwondo I learned important life skills.
I trained all the way through college, where I earned my Bachelors Degree in Taekwondo. I participated in multiple tournaments where I won gold medals. For several years I held the title of Korean National Champion and was a member of the Korean National Demonstration Team.
Here, at Park's Taekwondo Federation, I would like to share my training, knowledge and experience with my students. It's a wonderful experience to observe pride and happiness in parents' eyes when they see positive improvements in their kids, such as focus, patience and respect. I would like my students to remember me as a great instructor who was not only teaching martial arts skills and techniques, but also provided positive reinforcement to inspire them to be all they can be.
I was born in Korea and for as long as I can remember I always wanted to be a Taekwondo instructor. I love teaching and I believe that I am one of the luckiest men in the world. I have a job that makes me happy.
Currently I'm the head instructor at the Park's Federation Boca Raton School. Teaching and seeing my students' progress gives me a feeling of success and fulfillment. The surrounding atmosphere affects all of us, especially children. I have a wonderful opportunity to create positive environment that fosters positive changes in people through martial arts.
I have been practicing martial arts since the age of 4. I first started in a school with the study of many arts but I found a realistic self-defense system using both Karate and Taekwondo.
Currently, I'm a head Instructor at the Coconut Creek School. For the past 6 years I have been traveling around Florida to help with Demo teams and teaching Tricking Seminars.
Being an Instructor is more than just teaching punching and kicking, it's about the ability to relate and help explain certain adversities that your kids might have problems with.
My goal is to help every person who walks onto the mats with my full attention and passion so that goals are achieved and an understanding of martial arts is developed. Someone once told me "I can make it there faster, but together we can make it further" and together we will be able to take your child to the furthest of possibilities."
I started practicing Taekwondo when I was 13. At that time I just finished with baseball and started middle school. I remember my first Taekwondo lesson, where Master Yeo instructed the class. I remember feeling anxious when Master Yeo put his chest gear on and started to spar.
Fast-forward 10 years. I'm now an instructor at the Park's Federation Parkland school. I'm a second degree black belt thanks to Master Yeo and my very best friend and teacher, Mister Stephen Ensign. My goal is to get a fourth degree black belt. I want to teach my students that it's okay to make mistakes as long as you learn from them and improve in a future.
I like the people I work with and the kids I teach, whether at Park's Federation or at elementary schools around Broward County.
Martial arts came into my life when I was 4 years old, but as long as I can remember I've always had great interest in it from movies, TV and watching my uncle in his Dojo. For my Birthday my mom signed me up for my first class and I remember the excitement of running around punching and kicking but as time went by it became so much more. Through my training it taught me the value of perseverance and never giving up no matter how tough things are. It taught me how to better interact with my peers and build lifelong friendships. My goal as the head instructor of the Parkland school is to not only teach Taekwondo but to inspire students to be greater. Not only physically but mentally. I work with students to not only set goals but to achieve them and go beyond what they thought was possible.
Our experienced instructors continually strive to achieve balance of both physical and mental conditioning as we build up a student's self-confidence, self-respect, and self-discipline. By working with students to set goals and helping them overcome obstacles or challenges they meet along the way, our students feel an increased level of accomplishment in their lives.
Every instructor and staff member loves what they do, and it shows – from our techniques to how we deal with our students and their parents.
Empathy and sympathy are two ways to cultivate mindfulness of others that will help you prac-tice the spirit of martial arts and will help you every day when interacting with other people.
Emphasis is placed on focus and control with instructors working closely with students as they work towards learning new skills and reaching their goals.

Last month, we were invited to do coffees for LCA2015. LCA is one of the biggest open source conferences in the world, and this year it was held at Auckland University. There were 650 registered conference attendees, with the conference running for a week.
It was a massive challenge for us, with the majority of my work done in logistics leading up to the conference – since it was at the university, there was no equipment there, we'd have to bring everything in. My first task was to not only work out what we required, but also where we could hire it from, and then organise delivery to, and return from, the venue.
From our previous experience in doing coffee for the gather conference, we had a rough idea of what the event would entail. My goals for the conference were:
• Great coffee
• Speed of delivery/short queues
• Ease of payment
LCA provided each attendee with five coffee voucher which sped up service considerably as 88% of the coffees we did were paid for by prepay voucher.
As part of our role at the conference, we were asked to bring two coffee machines. I knew right from the beginning that I wanted to have two baristas on each machine, and a dedicated server/order taker for each barista team – the server's job was to welcome attendees, take their orders, and make sure the right coffees ended up with the right people. Their role was important as it ensured that the baristas could concentrate solely on making good coffees, quickly.
To make the servers jobs easier, we used Vend as our point of sale (POS). By inputting every voucher we received into Vend, at the end we could quickly provide a tally of all the coffees, instead of having to count every voucher by hand. Paired with Vend, we had ASB's mPOS (WiFi EFTPOS) machines, which integrated with the Vend tills, meaning payments were very quick (also helping was the terminals supporting tap-n-go wireless payments). Since the terminals and iPad tills required WiFi, I didn't want to rely solely on the conference's WiFi just in-case it went down, so we used a Vodafone 3G connection, which was rock solid.
Another decision we made earlier on was to only offer one size (8oz) coffee and charge $4 for each coffee, regardless of what it was. We didn't even charge for soy. While long black drinkers didn't appreciate paying a little extra for their coffees, it paid huge dividends in terms of efficiency and speed of service.
Estimating how much we'd require in supplies was tricky, so we based our calculations on a ratio of 1.3 coffees for every attendee. On the Monday we took two days' worth of supplies, which guaranteed we would not run out. In total we used 65kgs of coffee, approximately 220, 2L bottles of milk.
There were a few hiccups when we setup on Sunday as we had the wrong three-phase power leads (30 amp instead of 20 amp plugs), and one of the coffee machines kept playing up (in the end, we replaced it with another machine). Once these gremlins were worked out, the rest of the week went off without a hitch.
My six staff did a stellar job, churning out an amazing 3,113 coffees over the week, doing 131 coffees in just 45 minutes on the Thursday afternoon. The feedback was very positive…
No surprises on the most popular coffee at the conference: 45% had flat whites. The least popular was the macchiato: less than 1%.
If you're looking for a coffee supplier for a conference you're organising, please get in touch – we'd love to help out.

Wragge & Co has hired Manches' Thames Valley projects head as a partner in its real estate team.
Giles Clifford, who joined Manches as an associate from Freshfields in 2002, will join Wragges as a partner in its 17-lawyer planning and regeneration team on 1 May.
Clifford has advised on more than 40 PFI and PPP projects. He acted for London Underground and Transport for London on the redevelopment of New London Bridge House and acts for London Underground Limited on the Thameslink Upgrade scheme.
Clifford's hire follows that of SJ Berwin planning partner Duncan Field, who joins later this month.
In a statement, Wragges senior partner Quentin Poole said: "Giles is a talented individual. A real estate lawyer who leads on major projects, he brings a track record of advising on complex developments, particularly involving transport, housing and renewables. His considerable knowledge and strong connections will help us win new business, while also boosting our City presence and practice."
Earlier this year, Wragges made up three partners, ending its one-year promotions drought (6 March 2012).

Water Kelpie
THE WATER KELPIE The Water Kelpie is equally good for close listening and for just "having on" in regular rotation. Tim and Leanne like to release useful recordings. Since it's first release as a cassette in the early nineties, and it's recent re release on CD, they have heard a steady trickle of reports on how listeners have put The Water Kelpie into their lives. Some say the album has helped them with hard times, birthings, "late night slug-outs at the computer," and avoiding the news. Some say it increases their enjoyment of hot baths, romance, scenic drives, eating dinner, and going to sleep. Some just like to sit and listen. •=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+ SHEEFRA Tim and Leanne live together in Montpelier, Vermont. They have made their living together, playing traditional music and telling folk tales, since 1990. They perform steadily around New England, with occasional trips into The Wide World. •=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+•=•+• REVIEWS 'Sheefra plays the traditional music of Ireland, Scotland, Shetland, and Cape Breton in a gentle and beautiful manner. The interplay and harmonising of their instruments lends a smooth and almost classical touch to their music. Their music is beautiful, but never boring-- and in today's high stress world, a listen to Sheefra may be just what the doctor ordered.'-- Celtic Beat "Here's a relaxed and gentle recording of Celtic music winningly performed by Leanne Ponder on Harp and Tim Jennings on English concertina. Leanne and Tim were special hits at the '91 Squeeze-in concert, and deservedly so; they possess an extremely deft touch on their respective instruments and C&S readers will be especially taken with Tim's unique stuyle, phrasing, and canny use of chords. As Tim has said, the music is guaranteed to make your plants greener, your children calmer and your mate more romantic.... I'd go along with that, and what's more, in the unlikely event that I owned a chicken farm I'd broadcast The Water kelpie to the cluckers night and day and they would undoubtedly present me with enough eggs to ensure early retirement at a palm-fringed beach house near Papeete. Until then, this recording gets a lot of airplay, especially during late-night slugouts at the computer." Concertina and Squeezebox.

Easy library administration with Koha
Book Keeper
Information technology plays a key role in modern library environments. We check out Koha, an open source integrated system that can help manage a library's daily operations.
Library catalogs were originally based on a card system that was tedious and time-consuming to update. Fortunately, this task is now done by modern electronic systems for easy central administration of library catalogs. Recently, I had the pleasure of installing one such system, Koha.

At its most basic level, casting bronze entails pouring a molten mixture of copper and tin into a mold and letting the mixture harden as it cools. In ancient China, the actual process was quite complex and involved ceramics technology in virtually every step. First, a model of the desired shape was created in clay and fired in a kiln; next, fresh clay was packed around this ceramic model, removed in multiple sections, and fired; and finally, the hardened section molds created in this process were reassembled around a ceramic core with space set between core and molds, and molten bronze was poured into this assemblage. The production of bronzes in China was inextricably linked to the region's millennia-long ceramics tradition — in its use of kiln technology, its adaptation of ceramic vessels for bronze vessel shapes (such as the tripod ewer displayed here), and the creation of a casting method reliant on a potter's skills.

Picture: Princess Beatrice The wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall at Canongate Kirk Edinburgh, Scotland - 30.07.11
Princess Beatrice, the eldest daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, is celebrating her 23rd birthday today (8th August 2011). The young royal is fifth in the line of succession to the throne, and the first female on the list, reports Bbc News.
Beatrice is perhaps best known for her eclectic fashion choices, most notably her almost matching outfits with sister Princess Eugenie and the hat she wore to the royal wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Beatrice caused a stir at Westminster Abbey with the dramatic Phillip Treacy creation, which was likened to everything from a pretzel to a jellyfish by fashion commentators. The hat was eventually placed on auction website eBay, with around $160,000 being raised for charities Unicef and Children in Crisis. Commenting on the auction listing, the Princess noted, "I've been amazed by the amount of attention the hat has attracted.It's a wonderful opportunity to raise as much money as possible for two fantastic charities.I hope whoever wins the auction has as much fun with the hat as I have". As well as her fashion exploits, Beatrice recently became involved in the film industry and made brief appearance in the 2009 flick 'The Young Victoria'.
The Princess recently graduated with a degree in History of Art from Goldsmith, University of London.

Matt Damon and Robert Downey Jr in Miami
Jason Bourne and Iron Man's Double Date
Jason Bourne and Iron Man's Double Date
Who knew Matt Damon and Robert Downey Jr were friends? The twosome were out with their wives in Miami this weekend dining at Quattro Gastronomia. It seems like such an odd pairing, but maybe the boys are pairing up sometime soon on the big screen. Lucky Luciana looks thrilled as usual as she should be landing the Sexiest Man Alive this year who also is currently tied for first place as your favorite male star of the year! Matt clearly had a huge year, and we couldn't be happier, but we're also a longtime fan of Downey Jr.'s so hopefully with Iron Man in '08 we can expect big things from him as well.

General Comments
The Bosch AXT2000HP 200w Electric garden shredder is a good performer. It does jam up on soft stems, mixing these with fir cones helps, although I usually leave soft items for a few weeks to dry out then no problem. I did buy mine after trying a friends and was impressed, a real boy's toy.

Just in time for Passover, the Transportation Security Administration is offering travelers faith-sensitive pat-downs at airports — to safeguard their matzo.
Instead of stuffing the brittle, unleavened bread into a plastic tub and sliding it through a scanner, Jewish folks can opt for a more gentle screening of the holiday food, the agency said.
"Passengers traveling with religious items, including handmade matzoh, may request a hand inspection by the TSO [transportation security officer] of the items at the security checkpoint," reads an advisory posted on the agency's Web site.
"Some travelers will be carrying boxes of matzo, which are consumed as part of the Passover ritual. Matzo can be machine or handmade and are typically very thin and fragile, and break easily."

Radiant Color Run
Christy Blevins
A large amount of students lined up on the Athletic quad on Sunday, April 7, to participate in the school wide Radiant Color Run.
The Radiant Color Run was organized by a number of students as a group project for HHP 221. It was also held as an event for the Exercise is Medicine initiative at Roanoke College. Other events have also been held as part of Exercise is Medicine.
Setting up the Radiant Color Run took a lot more effort than just laying out the route and signup sheets. Planning started at the end of January and went into February. Required organizers then gained permission to hold the run, reserve the lots, and make all the powder paint by hand.
According to one organizer, Lauren O'Brien, "about seventy" students signed up and ran to win a "dollar store medal" at the finish line. The students ran a "marathon" through campus, following chalked arrows on the pavement. The path led students through both quads, down Clay Street and High Street, through parking lots, and finally ended by past CAR and New Hall at the Athletic Quad.
"We wanted to do something that people would actually want to attend, and what's better than running," joked O'Brien.
Afterwards, participants, who all wore white shirts, had fun throwing powdered paint at each other and running through sprinklers. Multiple colors of paint were supplied and provided to students with a mini Color Run atmosphere.

Bangalore, Karnataka India (PressExposure) June 18, 2011 -- Reading Hour (http://www.readinghour.in) is an English bi-monthly print magazine of short stories, poetry, interviews, general interest articles and reviews, targeting adults who love reading. Launched recently in January 2011, Reading Hour aims to encourage Indian writing as well as the reading habit among those who find novels a challenge on their time.
What readers are saying about Reading Hour:
"I spent a pleasant reading hour going through it. The magazine has a good feel to it and I enjoyed the varied selection."
-Nirupama Subramanian, author of the bestseller 'Keep the Change'
"Just one volume is out. But issue was promising. Barring one story, all short stories had beautiful twists and ends."
-Poonam Sharma, a blogger who blogs on books. She refers to Reading Hour as one of the best Indian magazines for short stories
"While there's still a dearth of good literary journals in India, I was pleased to see the first two issues of a new bimonthly magazine called Reading Hour,.. the format is simple and reader-friendly: included in the magazine's 60 pages are short stories as well as poetry, essays, book reviews and author interviews. It's a promising start and I hope they get the distribution they deserve. ...."
- Jai Arjun Singh, the well known Delhi based writer and journalist who writes on books and films
What Reading Hour says about itself:
There is no dearth of lifestyle or news driven magazines which share articles on the same theme. Reading Hour establishes itself as a distinct magazine. It mainly uses Indian writers telling Indian stories, across a variety of genres making it both entertaining and informative and has repeat read value.
"The absence of such a magazine in English, coupled with the fact that there are successful regional language magazines with similar content, led us to introduce Reading Hour", says Vaishali Khandekar, Editor and Promoter of the magazine.
"Reading Hour is packed with short but interesting reads that could even be finished in less than ten minutes. We believe this will enable the magazine to fit into today's hectic lifestyle", says Arun Kumar, Co-editor and Marketing Head, Reading Hour.
What makes Reading Hour even more appealing is its price. Priced affordably at Rs.50 per issue (and Rs.300 for an annual subscription), this 60 page magazine comes in a size that is easy to carry around and read on-the-go.
Reading Hour is available in leading stores across all the top metros of the country. An electronic version is also available for subscribers around the world.
"The May-Jun 2011 issue of the magazine is out and we can see on our Facebook page that readers are eagerly looking forward to it. We are also offering excerpts of our first issue (Jan-Feb 2011) as a download from our website FREE of cost to coincide with the third issue hitting the stands", adds Arun Kumar, Marketing Head, Reading Hour.

ICCT: 2025 target average of 70 g/km CO2 for new cars in EU feasible and economical; more so with electric drive
22 November 2016
A 2025 CO2 target of an average 70 g/km for new cars in the EU could be met with very little electrification and with an average payback period of less than 4 years, according to a new study by the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT). However, transitioning soon to electric drive could lower manufacturers' compliance costs by as much as €500 (US$532) per vehicle in 2025.
Under current European Union regulations, average new car CO2 emissions must decrease from the present 120 grams per kilometer (g/km) to 95 g/km by 2021. Although no further reductions are presently mandated, new targets for 2025 and 2030 are under discussion in Brussels. In 2013 the European Parliament recommended an "indicative range" of 68–78 g/km for 2025, while holding out the possibility that even lower targets should be considered if justified.
Our analysis shows that a CO2 target of 70 g/km for 2025, on average for the entire new car fleet, can be achieved with either no or only modest levels electric vehicle penetration. The total technology cost increment would be between €1,000 and €2,150 [(2014€)], and the fuel cost savings would be on the order of €450 per year.—Dr. Peter Mock, Managing Director of ICCT Europe
The primary CO2 and associated technology cost data used in the development of the cost curves in the study are from simulation modeling and bottom-up cost estimation work performed for the ICCT by the engineering consultancy FEV.
The FEV data are combined with supplemental data to generate CO2 cost curves for ten EU vehicle classes (diesel B, C, D, E, SUV, and LCV classes and gasoline B, C, D, and E classes). These individual class curves are then sales weighted to estimate fleet average compliance costs for a range of potential CO2 standards.
The study uses a 2014 baseline, reflecting the 2014 average EU vehicle market situation as closely as possible in terms of vehicle segment and technology market shares, and assumes that the split between vehicle segments and also vehicle driving performance characteristics within each segment would remain constant between 2014 and 2030, to exclude the impact of any potential shift in consumer preferences over time.
Vehicle technologies covered include direct injection, single-stage and two-stage turbocharging combined with engine downsizing, variable valve-lift and timing, cam-profile switching, exhaust-gas recirculation, cooled exhaust-gas recirculation, two-stage and fully variable compression ratio, Miller/Atkinson Cycle, low-friction design, 12-volt start-stop technology, 48-volt belt starter-generator, full-parallel P2 hybrid, 7-speed and 10-speed dual-clutch transmissions, vehicle mass reduction up to a maximum of 20%, 35% rolling-resistance reduction, 20% aerodynamic drag reduction, plug-in hybrid, battery electric, and fuel-cell electric vehicles.
Deploying the full range of combustion engine technologies, including hybrid electric vehicles, would be sufficient to reduce the fleet average CO2 emissions to 70 g/km, the study found.
The average car buyer would recoup the investment in vehicle-efficiency technology after 3 to 4 years, and save thousands of Euros more over the lifetime of the vehicle, said Dr. Mock.
However, although a CO2 target of 70 g/km could be met without significant deployment of electric vehicles, the study found that exhausting all the potential gains from combustion engine technology improvements before transitioning to electric drive would be a relatively costly approach for vehicle manufacturers. Switching sooner from conventional gasoline and diesel vehicles to plug-in or battery electric vehicles would reduce compliance costs.
For 2025, manufacturers can meet a 70 g/km CO2 fleet target for €200 to €500 less per vehicle if they would start deploying electric vehicles earlier, and aim to reach a market penetration level of about 15% by 2025. We are already seeing that some European vehicle manufacturers, like Renault-Nissan and more recently Volkswagen, appear to be pursuing that product strategy.—Dr. Mock
The underlying reason is the significant reductions in battery costs in recent years.
For the year 2030, the ICCT study considers CO2 fleet target values of 40 g/km and lower as reachable, assuming that electric vehicles would make up a large share of new-vehicle sales by then.
Lowering the official average CO2 emissions of new cars will not by itself mean that Europe is making progress toward its climate goals. As another new ICCT report notes, the gap between official emissions values and real-world emissions in everyday driving continues to grow, reaching 42% in 2015. (Earlier post.)
A new vehicle type-approval test procedure for the EU, the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), will likely reduce that gap beginning in 2017. But the WLTP also contains loopholes that manufacturers will be able to exploit, and the CO2 gap could grow again.
It is important that the European Commission not only set new car CO2 targets for 2025 and 2030 but also limit the gap between laboratory and real-world levels by defining an on-road conformity factor for CO2, as it has already done for air pollutants.—Dr. Mock
With respect to light-commercial vehicles, CO2 standards as low as 90–100 g/km (NEDC) can be achieved with few or no electric vehicles in the new-vehicle market. A CO2 target of 110 g/km in 2025 will lead to an average cost increment of €1,000 to €3,000 per vehicle, while a 90 g/km standard in 2025 will cost on average between €2,500 and €4,000 per vehicle. Costs would be €250 to €1,000 lower when pursuing a least-cost technology pathway and transitioning to electric vehicles earlier.
Dan Meszler, John German, Peter Mock, and Anup Bandivadekar (2016) "CO2 reduction technologies for the European car and van fleet: A 2025-2030 assessment"
November 22, 2016 in 48V, Electric (Battery), Engines, Europe, Fuel Efficiency, Hybrids, Policy, Regulations | Permalink | Comments (3)
The first thing they should do is get rid of the NEDC test (and use the WLTP as suggested in the paper). Then, the reported values will go up about 30%. So be it, reset the targets to sensible levels (say +30% !).
Then accept that electricity is not CO2 free and use a continent wide number (say 500 gms/kwH) and count the amount of electricity put into the batteries as well.
Then you can start to measure improvements.
By 2025, the truth about the cleanliness of various forms of stored energy (electrons, chemical, etc.) will no longer be "Obscured" and shall be readily available to the Commoner forth right. Current modern diesel emissions are as clean if not cleaner than current gassers. It will only get better.
In the future, we will Price energy based on its overall cleanliness. As such, the Commoner will use his dumb logic to choose the vehicular platform that best suits his Cost/Benefit needs. HEV will be the predominant platform (with onboard gas/diesel, NG, hydrogen, whatever). Half the HEVs will have plugin capabilities (most of the time the Commoner doesn't need it, just like their 20" rims). BEVs will have 20% of the market by 2040.

HKEx Consults Market on the Proposals to Reform HKEx Clearing Houses Risk Management Measures
Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEx) published a consultation paper July 9 to seek views on its proposals to reform the risk management framework of HKEx's clearing houses, which is crucial to the long term stability and competitiveness of Hong Kong.
The recent global financial crisis prompted governments, regulators and financial institutions around the world to increase their capital adequacy and risk management standards and to strengthen their risk management frameworks. In Hong Kong, HKEx's experience in connection with the defaults of Lehman Brothers' entities in 2008 underlined the need for HKEx to assess ways to enhance the robustness of its risk management measures and to bring them into line with international standards.
HKEx has reviewed its clearing houses' risk management with particular focus on stress testing assumptions and whether there are sufficient financial resources to support the long term growth of its securities and derivatives markets. The review was conducted with reference to the main international standards setting bodies, the Technical Committee of the International Organisation of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) and the Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems (CPSS). Working closely with its local regulator, HKEx has strived to ensure that the proposed changes meet the evolving international standards for clearing houses.
"We placed great emphasis in ensuring that our proposals are fair, sustainable and meet or exceed international standards. We have also taken into consideration the characteristics and historical volatility of our markets," said Charles Li, HKEx's Chief Executive. "I am confident the enhanced reliability of the risk management framework and our clearing houses resulting from the adoption of our proposals would inspire greater confidence in our markets and encourage market participants to grow their businesses with us."
The main proposals in the consultation paper are to:
1. introduce a standard margin system and a Dynamic Guarantee Fund at Hong Kong Securities and Clearing Company (HKSCC);
2. revise certain price movement assumptions in the clearing houses' stress testing;
3. revise the counterparty default assumption in the stress testing; and
4. revise the collateral assumptions at HKFE Clearing Corporation (HKCC) and the SEHK Options Clearing House.
"The proposals reflect the changing dynamics of our markets and are vital to the strengthening of the risk management framework of our clearing houses," said Kevin King, HKEx's Head of Risk Management. "They also better reflect the risks associated with our market participants' business activities."
The proposals include support from HKEx to reduce the impact of new requirements.
HKEx proposes to introduce:
1. a margin credit of $5 million per HKSCC participant;
2. a Dynamic Guarantee Fund credit of $1 million per HKSCC participant; and
3. Contingent Advance Capital to share half of the HKCC Dynamic Reserve Fund requirement of each HKCC participant.
In addition, HKEx is proposing to set aside additional shareholders' funds of $900 million to boost its support to the clearing houses' financial resources. This additional funding support is not expected to affect HKEx's profitability or HKEx's dividend payout.
Further details of HKEx's proposals are highlighted in the questions and answers and the Clearing House Risk Management Basics.
The consultation paper can be downloaded from the HKEx website. Individuals and organisations interested in submitting their views are encouraged to do so through the questionnaire. The deadline for the submission of comments is 28 October 2011.

A group of parents are mounting a legal challenge to Michael Gove's ban on term time holidays.
More than 200,000 parents have signed a petition backing a group of families who are seeking a judicial review of the rules, which they claim are a breach of the human right to family life.
Last September Michael Gove, the Education Secretary, ended a policy that allowed schools to grant up to 10 days holiday a year to families in "special circumstances."
Head teachers are now only allowed to grant leave in "exceptional circumstances."
The campaign group coordinating the legal action, "Parents want a say", was launched at the weekend and is run by Karen Wilkinson, a mother of three from bath in Somerset. The parents are supported by John Hemming, the liberal Democrat MP who successfully campaigned to open up family courts.
The challenge comes as new figures show more than 24,000 children skip school every day to go on family holidays.
Mrs Wilkinson said parents do not just take children out of school because they want cheaper holidays, and those with more serious reasons are being refused permission under the stricter rules laid down by Michael Gove.
She said: "Requests to take children out of school for weddings, to visit elderly grandparents who live abroad or even in some cases, when doctors have sanctioned the request because it is in the child's interest."
One family, who will be a test case in the legal action, are Dale family in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.
The parents of Daniel Bales, 10, who has Asperger's syndrome are determined to take him on a family holiday next month when the Spanish resorts will be quieter. They want him to be able to play in the pool without being stressed out by too many other children.
His mother, Sharon, told The Sunday Times her son gets "very anxious around noise and heat".
"I thought really hard about when would be best to go. We don't want to be made to feel like criminals when we are just trying to do the best for our son."
Despite supplying a letter from Daniel's psychiatrist supporting the family's plans the holiday was refused. In a letter to the family the school's head teacher said the decision from the school to refuse the request was "harsh".
Parents who do not have the schools permission for their child's absence face a maximum fine of £60 per pupil per parent.
Mr Gove also faced criticism over the new content students will study for English GCSEs which excludes American classics in favour of more traditional British authors.
The Steinbeck novella 'Of Mice and Men', believed to be disliked by Mr Gove, was one of the casualties of the new approved list for the GCSE.
Three-quarters of the books that students will study for GCSE English, which will be unveiled by the Government this week, are by British authors and most are pre-20th century.
The decision to leave off more modern, popular books have lead university lecturers to warn that teenagers will be put off studying English literature by the new exams.
A spokesman for the Department for Education said the new subject content does not ban any authors and includes a "wide range" of literature. He said:
He said: "In the past, English Literature GCSEs were not rigorous enough and their content was often far too narrow."

The Holiday Train is coming to town!
The Canadian Pacific (CP) Railway Holiday Train is stopping in Alexandria on Tuesday, December 14 at 1 p.m. It will arrive at the railroad crossing near the Hubbard Feed Mill at 8th Avenue and Nokomis Street.
The CP Holiday Train is North America's longest-running food pantry fundraiser. This is the 12th year of its journey through the Midwest, Northeast and Canada in a cross-border mission to feed communities.
The train will travel through eight states and six Canadian provinces, stopping in about 140 cities and towns, with all food and money raised at each stop staying in that community for local distribution. All food and money collected at the Alexandria stop will benefit the Douglas County Food Shelf.
Each CP Holiday Train has 14 rail cars decorated with hundreds of thousands of festive lights. Included is a modified boxcar that has been turned into a traveling stage for performers.
The year, performing on the Holiday Train is Melanie Doane, with Kelly Prescott joining for several shows. Also performing will be the Canadian band, The Odds.
Fun facts about the Holiday Train
Planning for the Holiday Train begins seven months prior to the fundraising kickoff.
Every dollar donated to the Holiday Train gives food banks $4 in purchasing power.
Each Holiday Train is about 1,000 feet in length with 14 decorated rail cars, including the traveling stage for performers.
A 2010 Holiday Train CD, "Holiday Train Tracks," has been released, with genres from rock and country songs to Christmas classics. All proceeds go to supporting North American food banks.
Since 1999, the Holiday Train has traveled 85,764 miles, enough to go around the world 3.5 times.
It takes 30 CP "elves" 100 days to transform and decorate the Holiday Trains before they start their journey across Canada and the U.S.
In 2009, more than 20,000 candy canes were handed out to children at Holiday Train events. In the 12 years of the program, it is estimated up to 250,000 candy canes have been given to children.
This year, the Holiday Train features an interactive website, www.cpr.ca to read stories. You can also join the Holiday Train on Facebook and follow the two trains on Twitter @CPHolidaytrain.

Nero Corleone: A Cat's Story
Viking, 1997 - Juvenile Nonfiction - 89 pages
Nero Corleone isn't your average cat. He's much worse. On a farm somewhere in Italy, a black cat named Nero reigns supreme. There's not one animal on the farm that doesn't do exactly as Nero orders, even the dog. Then one day, Nero visits the house on the nearby hill, where a young German couple is vacationing, and there he has his first taste of the good life. Warm delicious condensed milk and sausage sandwiches! Soon after, Nero and his sister Rosa travel ten hours to their new home in Germany. But nothing really changes for Nero; he simply goes from being farm bully to being neighborhood bully. In this irresistible and warmly-told novel, where humans seem simple, and animals complex, Nero stops at nothing to get what he wants in life. But as time passes, even Nero begins to learn the lessons of life. Elke Heidenreich is a well-known columnist in Germany. Her satirical columns about everyday subjects appear in the biweekly magazine Brigitte. Quint Buchholz Hanser has illustrated many books for children. Both author and illustrator make their homes in Germany.

Nero is the godfather of cats, an irregular mafia don of the feline persuasion. He rules the barnyard with an iron fist—one white paw. Dogs, donkeys, and roosters all fear Nero, and he easily ... Read full review

I'm very proud of myself for having read a whole book in German. Lovely story, such insight into the behaviour of people who let cats into their lives (sometimes begrudgingly). And the illustrations are great (really, I only bought it for the illustrations) Read full review

The Auggie Plan is designed for Minnesota students who want to begin their college experience at a community college but are seeking a clear, attainable path to a four-year degree.
It offers qualified students efficient and affordable tracks in their coursework by ensuring that the credits earned in a range of liberal arts classes at our partner two-year colleges satisfy all first- and second-year general education requirements at Augsburg. In addition to mapping out the coursework needed at the institutions, the Auggie Plan gives students the opportunity to access advising support at both colleges during their entire term of study.
Because students on the Auggie Plan enter Augsburg at the junior level, many will qualify for scholarships—making it possible to earn a four-year private college degree with needs-based grants, manageable student loans, and minimal out-of-pocket costs for tuition.
While other transfer agreements and partnerships exist among some private and public campuses in Minnesota, the Auggie Plan is unusual because it doesn't lock students into a major early on. Instead, the Auggie Plan aims to provide an affordable four-year degree pathway to students who have high potential for success but may not have seen college as an option.
Learn more from our partner institutions: Anoka Ramsey Community College, Minneapolis Community & Technical College, Normandale Community College, and Saint Paul College.

AMD stock rallies as takeover talks grow
Ryan Martin / 5 years ago
Shares in AMD have started climbing as takeover talks grow across the industry. Share value shot up roughly 8 percent wednesday afternoon, topping out at $4.46 before dropping slightly to close the day. Qualcomm and Samsung have been touted as likely candidates to take over the ailing x86 company.
Qualcomm seems a likely candidate as it could use to give them more leverage with manufacturing partners Globalfoundries and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) as well as being a good opportunity to expand into more markets.
Samsung are the other candidate, although in recent times Samsung have been linked with ailing Smartphone manufacturer RIM. Samsung has already hired away several top silicon designers from AMD but a full acquisition would mean access to all of the chip maker's patents – a sneaky upper hand to pull over Apple.
Samsung could buy AMD outright without even making a dent in their staggering cash reserves.
It wouldn't come as a surprise fto anyone if AMD called it quits in the near future, they've already announced they won't be competing with Intel any more – add to that the fact AMD is struggling to make profit, being swamped under by its debts and rapidly losing CPU market share. If anyone is going to buy AMD, now is the time to do it – before the CPU market becomes a blue horse race.

"The Woodbeck Team far exceeded every expectation I had! I initially contacted them to discuss selling our house in a year or so. After sitting down with Jessica and hearing about their process, we decided to go ahead with selling our house then instead of waiting. After that, everything happened so quick! Their staging expert assessed our home and provided us with a room by room guide of suggestions to get our home sold fast and for top dollar. Jessica then sold our house the second day it was on the market for THOUSANDS over asking price! Everything happened just as fast with Justin. After meeting with him to discuss what we were looking for in a new home, he knew exactly what we were looking for. We only had to look at 5 houses before we found the one, and our offer was accepted without any back and forth. The Woodbeck Team is AMAZING!!!"

It's 2105 and Cray has a killer life - literally. He spends every night hunting zombies to keep everyone else in New York safe. Of course he's alone, had a dysfunctional childhood, and could die at any moment, but that's not so bad. Right?
After all, thanks to his tireless efforts and the efforts of the other Night Sweepers, society has a fighting chance of recovering from the zombie apocalypse and being normal again.
Enter Jonathan Harbin, the son of the psychopath that made the virus that created the zombie horde. Emerging from obscurity, he claims to have created a new strain that could decimate the remaining populace of the planet. Suddenly everything Cray has fought for could be gone overnight. There's only one solution: Harbin has to go away. To do this, he's going to have to join forces with the stunning Mira Winston, a government agent with dark secrets of her own.
Thus begins a dangerous infiltration that will lead him to terrifying revelations and the brink of death. He will quickly learn his society is not what it seems, and that he's more connected to Harbin than he could ever have imagined.

"Zombies And So Much More!"
Zombie Apocalypse was an intriguing story with multiple twist that separates it from other zombie stories. The book moves at a steady pace, and has exceptional characters liked Cray and Mira. I love how a relationship grows between the two of them, while their mission takes them deeper into danger. Cray and Mira uncover many secretes that will affect them personally, and face dangers far worse than the "festers" Cray usually takes out.
John Pirhalla has a great voice, and does a good job on the narration. The characters are easily distinguishable, and have their own voice.
"I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom dot com."
"Excellent start to a fun series."
Yes. Initially when the book start I was not impress with the opening story. So I was kind of tuned out until Cray opened up about his life. The story then took off for me.
Mira. She is just a no nonsense kick ass zombie killer.
I thought John Pirhalla did a pretty good job narrating the different character voices. The honest truth, it was because of his narration that kept me listening to the story, and I am so very glad I did.
Yes, when Cray opened up about his young life and how his father treated him.
I am so glad I stuck with the book. Like I mentioned before the opening scene of the story did not catch my attention right away. I was very close to not finishing this book but the narrator kept me going. And I am glad I did. If you like the Zombie genre then this is definitely a good read. Can't wait for the next book.

"Superhuman Zombie Hunter Meets his Match"
Nice twist on the popular Zombie Apocalypse. The infected are neither slow nor dead, but fast and deadly. Although there were some unbelievable parts, such as one hunter who protects the entire city of New York, I enjoyed the book overall. The book contained no graphic sexual scenes or profanity, making it appropriate for teens to read. I was unsure that I would enjoy the book as it was difficult to get into, but by the end of the book I was enjoying it. Looking forward to the next book.

"Awesome Twists, Great Story,"
Awesome, Entertaining, Twists
I absolutely loved the mystery and suspense. This is well written and read.
I did listen to it in one setting and have listened to it again.
Thank you to the author for sharing this book. It was awesome and I would greatly recommend. I love the twist on the zombies. Greatly written.
"This audiobook was given by the author, narrator, or publisher at no cost in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom."
"Tons of action and a lot mystery!"
Maybe the Partials series by Dan Wells. It shares that dystopian-genetically engineered vibe with this book.
I love Cray's super awkward side with girls. It's so funny to read
Towards the end after they got back from the mission. I kind of didn't expect that betrayal.
I was kind of skeptical going in. Zombie apocalypse books are typically a hit or miss thing. Either they are pretty good or pretty bad. I really enjoyed this one. It's not cliche and it does have all of the components of a good book. I love how you get answers for {some} of your questions. Some Authors are so keen on making you wait it out, but he got right to the point. I love the kick-assery that goes on, especially female kick-assery. The ending was the cliffhanger of all cliffhangers, but i knew it was going to happen! I had a feeling a certain someone wasn't really dead. I wish the other book was on Audible, but i will just have to get the other one ebook version. I would really like to see what happens with these characters! All in all, a pretty decent book!
I did receive this book in exchange for an honest review from Audio----book---boom.
"Zombie "virus" with a twist and plenty of genetic engineering mixed in"
The story is classic mad scientist creates zombie virus. It has some new twists to this classic storyline. Plenty of genetic engineering and mutates. Love interests, zombie killing, human greed and more. Well written and
Well told from dual points of view switching throughout the story between the views of two main characters. I enjoyed and look forward to the rest. I received this audiobook from the author narrator or publisher for free via audiobookboom in exchange for an unbiased review
"Tons of action and a lot mystery"
Yes, Intriguing story
No, He did great job
"I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher."
"Different, in the best way!"
I am a true fan of zombie horror, so I was expecting much the same as the usual books in the genre. To my surprise, this was a refreshing diversion from the norm.
In this Zombie apocalypse, a vast majority of the world has been infected with a virus (ok, well that part is the same), but instead of the virus killing them, it causes them to behave like wild animals and get festering sores all over their body. While they aren't technically dead, they are still dangerous and protocol is to kill them on sight. Enter our hero, Cray. He is a sweeper; a hunter who prowls the New York City nights dispatching the zombies (festers) to keep everyone else safe.
This book is less about the zombies, though, than it is about the loner, Cray. He is sent on a mission with a kick-ass female partner, Mira, where they discover secrets about themselves, the government, and those they care about. The characters themselves are well-developed and you find yourself sucked into their stories as the book is written in dual perspective. The narrator did an excellent job bringing the book to life. I enjoyed listening to his smooth voice, but I kind of wish they had chosen a female narrator for Mira's parts. Would have been an interesting shift from person to person.
I was gifted this audio book via AudioBookBoom in exchange for my honest review, and here is my honest opinion: Read it! You won't be disappointed! There is plenty of action, a little romance, and a gripping story that keeps you guessing what comes next. I can't wait to read book #2!
"Loved This Story and the Characters"
"Zombie Apocalypse Aftermath" was such a great listen and I can't wait until book 2 comes out. This wasn't the typical zombie/apocalyptic story. It was quite different. The ones infected are the festers. The real story is the well-fleshed out characters of Cray and Mira. I loved her character as she is a bad ass. Then enter Alana.
J. Steven Butler did a fantastic job penning this story. I think this is going to be a series not to be missed.
John Pirhalla's voice was amazing. He captured the feel of the story and the tone of the characters very, very well. I thought he did an exceptional job as Archer. All the characters were distinguishable and memorable. This was a perfect match of author/reader.
"I was provided this audiobook at no charge by the author, publisher and/or narrator in exchange for an unbiased review via Audiobook Boom dot com."
"Exciting, different kind of zombie story!"
The narration was outstanding.
The finale scenes with the final showdown and then the final twist of the last sentence!
The final one, The gun show.
I was very surprised with the ending.
Excited to listen to book 2. Outstanding narrative.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The planned presentation on Tuesday of a reform of Mexico's banking laws has been suspended due to disagreements among the main political parties, President Enrique Pena Nieto's office said in a statement.
Pena Nieto had been negotiating the banking overhaul under a pact he forged with leaders of the opposition to work together on major economic reforms, but cracks in the agreement have appeared due to a political dispute over election funding.
The opposition conservative National Action Party, known as PAN, said its leader Gustavo Madero would not attend the presentation after accusing Pena Nieto's Institutional Revolutionary Party of using funds from the Social Development Ministry to help its chances in local elections in the state of Veracruz.
The main leftist grouping, the Party of the Democratic Revolution, later supported the PAN in the row, prompting the president's office to suspend Tuesday's presentation in an attempt to resolve their differences.
"President Pena Nieto has taken the decision to temporarily suspend public activities related to the Pact for Mexico, to open a space for frank dialogue that allows disagreements to be overcome and strengthen the pact," the statement said.
Since Pena Nieto unveiled it days after taking office in December, the Pact for Mexico has formed the foundation of his government's reform efforts, including a shake-up of the education system and the telecommunications industry.
In a radio interview Tuesday morning, Mexican Finance Minister Luis Videgaray said the financial reform bill should be introduced "in the next few days."

Hempstead gang member gets 20-to-life in slaying, DA says
A Hempstead gang member was sentenced Friday to 20 years to life in prison for the 2010 fatal stabbing of a Westbury teenager who died two minutes before his 19th birthday, prosecutors said.
Pedro Santos, 23, was convicted March 9 of second-degree murder and fourth-degree criminal possession of a weapon in the slaying of Yunior Maldonado, 18.
The trial lasted about two weeks: The jury deliberated for two days.
Acting State Supreme Court Justice William O'Brien sentenced Santos to 20 years to life in prison on the murder charge and one year in prison — served concurrently — on the weapons charge, Nassau County District Attorney Madeline Singas said.
"Pedro Santos and his accomplice, both gang members, chased an innocent victim down the street and then brutally murdered him with a machete and knife," Singas said in a statement. "Victim Yunior Maldonado was senselessly killed just minutes before his 19th birthday, and I hope that this sentence will bring his grieving family a small measure of comfort."
Santos, known by the street name Tiro Loco, and Yan Cifuentes, 16, of Hempstead, approached Maldonado at 11:20 p.m. on Nov. 14, 2010, as he walked on Thorne Avenue in Hempstead, prosecutors said.
Santos, who along with Cifuentes is affiliated with the 18th Street gang, asked Maldonado which gang he was affiliated with and then started chasing him, officials said.
After catching up with the victim, Santos began swinging a machete while Cifuentes stabbed him six times with a knife before fleeing.
Maldonado died at 11:58 p.m. at Winthrop-University Hospital, two minutes before the start of his 19th birthday, Singas said.
Cifuentes pleaded guilty to murder in the second degree in November 2011 and was sentenced to 10 years to life in prison.
Santos was arrested by Nassau County police nine days after the killing.
This is Santos' second conviction on the charges: He was found guilty in February 2012 but the conviction was overturned by a state appellate court, which ruled police and prosecutors mistakenly admitted into trial a videotaped statement made while Santos was in police custody.
The panel's December 2013 decision kicked the case back to trial court — and dismissed the videotaped statement because the justices found that Santos may not have understood Miranda warnings. They were delivered in English despite his being a native Spanish speaker.
His attorney, Juan Carlos Guttlein, could not be reached Friday.
