Across the Financial Services industry, organisations are making substantial investments in predictive analytics to make smarter portfolio decisions, improve fraud detection, and streamline the customer experience. Deutsche Bank’s Autobahn 2.0 and JP Morgan’s DeepX are examples of such AI-enabled equity trading platforms that modify trading strategy in real-time by sensing market momentum.
Capital market players are increasingly feeling the acute need to use data-driven insights to respond to market volatility. They have embraced digitisation and cloud-migration in full force, which generates huge swathes of operational data that’s hiding in plain sight. Many of these disparate data sets get locked up in layers of communications and digital interactions, making it hard to convert them into actionable insights. So, how can they unlock real-time insights from such structured and unstructured data, and integrate it into their decision-making process and create value? In this article, we explore how capital market firms can become data-driven businesses by adopting it as an organisation-wide discipline.
One reason why organisations fail to make better use of data is rooted in their rigid culture. Financial services firms are primed to prioritise personal compliance and organisational stability over collaboration and creativity.
The Schneider Culture Model (see below) shows us that organisations which focus on compliance and stability create a culture of control. These organisations incorporate rigid structures, constraining potential change. They find it hard to look forward, and difficult to innovate. Their use of data tends to focus on supporting day-to-day business as usual operations, rather than innovation.
All large organisations exhibit multiple cultures, but the dominant culture at investment banks favours controls, in the most part due to strict regulatory requirements. This restricts their potential to unlock business value from insights. In this culture of control, innovation does not progress beyond the pilot phase, and speed to market is constrained by legacy IT infrastructure, limiting their ability to respond to change.
A forward-looking approach is increasingly essential to overcome this. Incumbents in the capital markets are becoming victims of Martec’s Law, which states that, while technology changes at an exponential rate, organisations change at a slower, logarithmic rate. Over time, the gap between the two grows, leaving a large window of opportunity for new entrants.
In other industries, the forces behind Martec’s Law have led to the demise of all kinds of household names. And while today’s fintechs may not currently threaten the dominance of the big investment banks and exchanges, as they mature, their technological superiority (and the business agility and innovation it enables) will gradually shift the balance of power.
It’s a stark choice for incumbent players: shift away from a culture of control and close the widening technological gap, or risk becoming irrelevant.
Data: the ace up the sleeve?
Large capital market organisations, who can close Martec’s gap, have a wealth of data assets they can leverage to gain an advantage. But few organisations are getting much business value from these assets. We even see exchanges – where data has always been an important part of the offering – paying third parties to buy back their own data.
Organisations have a massive opportunity to increase operational efficiency and reduce costs, just by making their data visible to the people who need it. For some, this realisation has led them to create vast data lakes (at vast expense), but as research by Forrester shows, on average, between 60% to 73% of all data within an enterprise goes unused for analytics. That means the majority of organisations are paying millions of dollars for little or no return.
There are many reasons data lakes fail to deliver value, but typically it’s a combination of factors, including:
- Not changing data ingress and egress processes across enterprise systems, making real-time insight all but impossible
- Centralising all data in a single place without considering the varying needs and taxonomies of different parts of the organisation
- Failing to train employees on how to use complex data lake dashboards – or failing to replace the knowledge when employees leave the organisation
- Poor data quality and a lack of data stewardship
Building a strong data strategy: five practical recommendations
So, how can CIOs and CDOs create a stronger data strategy – one that helps them build an intelligent enterprise that’s ready to thrive in the data-driven future? Here are five practical steps technology leaders can take to prepare their organisation for success.
1. Implement effective data stewardship
To maximise value from data, capital market organisations must treat it as a product. Data needs a dedicated team to look after it with overall responsibility for data quality and governance.
In large enterprises, if there’s no data stewardship, opportunities for efficiency gains and cost savings get missed as different departments work on data projects in silos. Complex data flows become even more complex as a patchwork of topologies emerges over time. And enterprise knowhow gets lost as the people who can parse information coming from legacy systems leave the business.
2. Consider domain-driven design and event streaming
As we saw earlier, enterprises have invested heavily in data lakes that are more about buzzwords than business value. Access to a single centralised data repository can indeed bring benefits, but often a more effective approach is to build multiple data marts that centralise data in ways that are relevant to different business domains. Prioritising domain-driven design preserves the taxonomies and business logic of different departments while making data more accessible.
To enable the rapid, data-driven decision-making capital markets organisations need to consider event streaming. Modern stream processing systems give users access to real-time insights based on the constant flow of market and business events. By building event-driven architectures using microservices to plug streaming capabilities into applications, organisations can respond much faster to market changes and shifting business demands. It’s important to note that the streaming data we’re referring to is the business or domain events data, and not systems event data.
3. Introduce Work in Progress limits
In most technology functions, there’s a lot of partially completed work; projects start but never finish. That’s why it’s vital to set work-in-progress limits, confining resources, budget, and effort to projects that align with the enterprise strategy and will help meet defined business goals.
For example, in one financial services company we worked with, only 12 of its 120 in-flight projects had good strategic and business goal alignment. By shutting down the 108 zombie projects, the company repurposed £2.9 million in the first week alone. After a year, it had gained £12 million of budget saving that would have been spent on unnecessary projects.
4. Avoid overproduction
We’ve all seen data projects that have fallen victim to “feature creep”, where bloated reporting or insight requirements with unrealistic timelines knock the entire project off course. It’s important to have an agile mindset, where ideas are tested and validated without massive investments. Making small bets and failing early can save organisations many millions of dollars and accelerate time to market by killing unnecessary features before they weigh projects down.
5. Minimise delays
Another useful strategy for maximising the value of data-driven initiatives is to borrow an idea from lean manufacturing, where sites are brought together to remove the logistical effort of transporting raw materials to production lines. As with everything lean, it’s all about increasing organisational efficiency and reducing waste.
Similarly, by bringing related data work together, organisations can identify and remove the dependencies that slow projects down, build more efficient architectures and network topologies, and create better quality applications.

An excerpt from Libertyville Illustrated (1897) touts the benefits of the village as a manufacturing site:
“As already suggested, a portion of this land is admirably adapted for manufacturing purposes. To fully understand this, some information as to the shipping facilities of Libertyville must be presented. Libertyville is the terminus of a spur of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad…. The Elgin, Joliet and Eastern railroad, better known as the “Outer Belt Line,” connects with the Libertyville line at Roundout [sic], three miles away, thus providing the village with shipping facilities that are absolutely unsurpassed by any town in the vicinity of Chicago, nor by Chicago itself, for that matter….
Cheap fuel is an indispensable adjunct of successful manufacturing, and in this regard Libertyville is exceptionally favored….coal can be secured here as cheaply as in Chicago. When, to this enormous advantage, and that of splendid shipping facilities, is added the natural and acquired advantages of the town as a place of residence it is not too much to predict that Libertyville will soon become a manufacturing center of considerable importance.
Along the railroad frontage, away from the residence portion of the village, are many fine manufacturing sites, where sidetracks can be put in and freight received and shipped direct from the buildings. Two factory buildings have already been constructed and are now ready for occupancy. These are handsome brick buildings, 125x150, and 70x125 feet, respectively. The latter, which consists of three stories and a basement is equipped with engines, boilers, elevators, shafting and an electric light plant. It is a model of the latest factory construction….These buildings are of sufficient capacity for a large manufacturing business and are quite ready to receive the machinery of some enterprising concern.”
Libertyville’s boosterism worked. By 1898, the Earl Ladder Co. had moved in to one of the factories. In 2014, the Foulds Macaroni Co. occupied the building.

SWASHBUCKLERS by Dan Hanks.
Angry Robot Books. p/b. £9.99.
Reviewed by Elloise Hopkins.
Cisco Collins has returned to Dark Peak after 32 years. He has grown up, married, had a child, lost his wife to a gym instructor and overhauled his life, but his childhood town hasn’t changed at all since Halloween 1989 and that gas leak, the incident that forced Cisco to leave amid whisperings and accusations.
He has returned, and Doc, his once best friend, is more than a little surprised when Cisco and his son bump into her at a café. Unfortunately, his trip down memory lane, caught in the comfort of 80s nostalgia, won’t last long at all. He is not just here for old friends and memories. There has been a murder, and the culprit was reported to be a giant children’s TV character. Police are looking for a killer and a costume, but Cisco knows better…
1989 was no gas leak, and this is not the first time characters have visited Dark Peak with evil intent. He knows it. They know it, his friends. Deep down, they must know it. They must remember. But none of them seems to. How can he help them remember? And should he?
Swashbucklers is a fast-paced and somewhat bonkers tale of characters who come to life determined to destroy humanity. The story follows Cisco as he and his friends are plunged into battle with oversized Stay-Puft-like characters, armed with home-crafted proton-pack-like weapons. Throw in fairies, talking animals, an evil pirate, killer Christmas elves and the whole mix gets stranger.
For 80’s nostalgia, this book is an absolute treat, but for this reader, when, around a third of the way in, the story revealed itself as a post-lockdown adventure for Cisco, and the reality of COVID-19 appeared across the pages, the joy of escapism and the spell of nostalgic magic was broken. For those interested in embracing these pandemic times and seeing that appear in genre fiction, then this book will work.

I wanted to use "A Little Bit of Washi" for today's cards. The first one, not so bad. The second, not so good. A technique I've really wanted to try is embossing on black- I've seen some stunning projects done that way. It went splendidly until I got to the last 2 "tape" lines. Yeah. Murphy. Turns out that my red EP is too dark to use on black. Purple wasn't spectacular either so I played with it. While I didn't finish a card from the piece, I did grab a picture of it so you can see where I was going with it.
Great idea. Not so great execution. So. The first card. I was going to do this as a one-layer card but it turned out that I must have had red ink on my fingers because once I was finished with the original, I saw a smudge. And then a fingerprint. And then a smudgy fingerprint. MMURRPPHHHYYYYYY! So. I did another fussy cut project. Of course, it was somewhat blah on a plain background so I added some yellow stitching. Didn't stand out. Red stitching with the yellow. Too bold- overwhelmed the yellow. Let's add green. While we're at it, what the heck, do 'em all.
Next! There were actually a few sets I wanted to try so this gave me the chance to pull in another. "Ornamental Season" is one I got but hadn't used because I really wanted to spend a bit of time making it pop and when mass producing my Christmas cards, that's not real time-effective. I stamped the image with Staz-On onto a scrap of plastic from a report cover. I colored the back of the sheet with Sharpies and a silver paint pen.
Well, I'll say it for the last time. Please make sure you leave comments for me on all of this week's GIU posts. I'll be drawing a winner from all comments on Sunday and the winner will get two Itty Bittys of their choice from Unity. Good luck!

The Tampa Bay Rays and New York Yankees are set to start a three-game series at Tropicana Field on Friday night. Tampa Bay is 2-5 over a seven game span after dropping two of three against Houston, while New York has won four in a row and seven of its last eight contests.
The Yankees moved in front of Boston in the AL East this week by pulling off a three-game sweep of the Seattle Mariners, recovering from a five run deficit to walk off with a 7-5 win on Wednesday.
Suffice it to say, neither team has lit up the score board of late. That, however, is not to say that either team is incapable of performing better, because they are. Rather the Yankees have done two things the Rays have not:
- Come up with key, clutch hits. Three of the Rays’ last five losses have come by a three-run margin or less, while eight of the Yankees last 10 wins have come by three runs or fewer.
- Hold late leads. It is well documented that New York’s bullpen is very good, and well … it tends to hold late leads.
If Tampa Bay is going to have any chance of walking away with more than a win, it will have to take an early lead and hold it throughout.
As with any other time they Rays have faced the Yankees, beware of the long-ball! While they haven’t been an offensive juggernaut of late, the Yankees offense still has managed a .217 ISO and a 21.6% HR/FB over the last 14 days.
Kevin Cash will lean on Ryan Stanek (1-1, 2.21 ERA) and presumably Ryan Yarbrough (5-3, 4.21 ERA) based on how things line up, Wilmer Font (0-1, 2.20 ERA), and Blake Snell (9-4, 2.48 ERA) over the next three days. Aaron Boone will counter with CC Sabathia (4-2, 3.30 ERA), Sonny Gray (5-4, 4.89 ERA), and Domingo German (2-3, 5.09 ERA).
Ryne Stanek made the sixth start of the season on Monday and retired all five batters he faced on just 11 pitches. Stanek hasn’t allowed a run in eight appearances (10-2/3 innings) since June 2. Ryan Yarbrough took the loss on Saturday, allowing four runs on six hits over 3-2/3 innings. The southpaw struck out four and issued three walks. Yarbrough’s inability to throw strikes quickly put the Rays in a hole, of which they could never recover.
CC Sabathia allowed three runs on 10 hits and one walk over 7-2/3 innings of a loss against the Rays on Sunday. Sabathia struck out 10. All of the big damage to Sabathia’s line came in a three run/four hit second inning, with an additional runner getting thrown out at home (Matt Duffy). He had posted more than five strikeouts just twice this season heading in, but he — somewhat surprisingly — racked up double-digit punchouts for the first time since August of 2016. Overall Sabathia has pitched well of late, sporting a 2.84 ERA over four starts (25-1/3 total innings). Key Matchups: Willy Adames (1-4), CJ Cron (3-11, HR, 2 RBI), Matt Duffy (3-6, 2 RBI), Carlos Gomez (7-19, 2B, HR, 2 RBI), Adeiny Hechavarria (7-14, 2B, 3B, RBI), Kevin Kiermaier (5-13, 2 HR, 2 RBI), Wilson Ramos (3-8)
Wilmer Font has made three consecutive starts, pitching deeper each time — going from 2-1/3 innings to 3-1/3 to 4-2/3 against the Yankees on Sunday. The right-hander has allowed three runs on eight hits during that 10-1/3-inning stretch, lowering his ERA from +12 to 7.56. And while Rays remain committed to using an “opener” three times in five game stretches, Font showed that he should be able to handle starting, at least until Chris Archer returns.
Sonny Gray allowed two runs on six hits and one walk over five innings on Monday. He struck out seven. Aside from the second and fourth innings, when Gray put multiple men aboard and allowed an RBI groundout and a sacrifice-fly, he limited baserunners effectively. He pounded the strike zone at a 71% clip while coaxing 16 whiffs. Six groundball outs also helped him mitigate the damage. Gray has begun to turn things around after an abysmal start and has now allowed two earned runs or fewer in four of his last six starts, allowing him to lower his ERA to 4.89. This season Gray has relied primarily on his 94 mph four-seam fastball with some natural sinking action, 94 mph sinker with armside run and above average velocity, and an 82 mph curveball with sweeping glove-side movement and exceptional bit, while also mixing in an 86 mph sweeping slider with exceptional depth. Key Matchups: Matt Duffy (1-3, HR, 2 RBI), Adeiny Hechavarria (2-6, HR, RBI), Kevin Kiermaier (4-16, 2B, 2 HR, 4 RBI), Wilson Ramos (3-11, 2B, HR, 3 RBI, BB), Mallex Smith (3-9)
Blake Snell was credited the win Tuesday after he allowed one run on three hits and seven walks while fanning six over seven innings against Houston. Snell wasn’t at his sharpest with a season-high seven walks and only just over half of his pitches going for strikes (57 of 102, 56% strike rate), though he allowed just three base hits and was helped out by his defense with a couple of double plays and another out on the basepaths. Snell’s nine wins trail only Corey Kluber and Luis Severino in the American League, and he now sports a sterling 2.48 ERA. The southpaw has struggled with command of late with a 1.15 K/BB in his last three starts (18 innings), yet he’s now at 9.8 K/9 on the season.
Domingo German will make his ninth start of the season in the series finale against the Rays. Last time out, the righty pitched a career-high seven innings, allowing just a solo home run and two hits to the Mariners. German (2-4) earned the win against the Mariners on Tuesday, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits across seven innings. He walked none and recorded nine punch outs. This season German has relied primarily on a whiffy 83 mph 12-6 curveball and a hard 96 mph four-seam fastball that generates plenty of swings and misses, while also mixing in an 88 mph changeup with obvious armside fade, and a 96 mph sinker with natural sink. Key Matchups: Willy Adames (1-3), Matt Duffy (2-3, HR, RBI), Wilson Ramos (1-3, RBI), Joey Wendle (1-3, RBI)

Little Mix have been accused of 'miming' their way through their X Factor performance.

Lots of Little Mix fans disputed the claims and went crazy for their amazing performance.
The band were were also slammed for wearing too much clothing as they covered up following claims they looked like 'prostitutes' at last year's final.

A third agreed: "Sounds like a live performance, but it looks like they’re miming...

The girls, who shot to fame after winning the family entertainment show in 2011, were blasted for wearing some extremely revealing clothes last year.
The band shocked viewers be wearing black blazers and trousers during the first part of their performance, but 'inevitably' they stripped to reveal their bodies.
It seemed that the theme for the girls was less is more, as they danced, gyrated and strutted across the stage in barely any clothing.
They were even called "prostitutes and strippers" by some viewers, but their extra clothing this year didn't seem to be any less controversial.
Another added: "Why the f*** have little mix got their jeans under their work trousers?!? I'm so confused."
A third said: "Little mix serving maternity trouser realness"

It’s time again for Insecure Writer’s Support Group, when insecure writers across the blogosphere gather to share their trials and triumphs. IWSG is captained by Alex J. Cavanaugh. The awesome co-hosts for August are Tamara Narayan, Tonja Drecker, Ellen @ The Cynical Sailor, Lauren @ Pensuasion, Stephen Tremp, and Julie Flanders!
Make sure you stop by and say hello. Also pop over here or just click on the IWSG banner if you’d like to learn more and sign up to join the hop.
I’m not feeling terribly insecure about my writing specifically this month. Cry of the Hawk is coming along much better than it was. My two revision projects are also trucking along.
My main insecurity right at the moment is rather similar to what I felt when I first self-published. I’m launching a Patreon, and I’m down right terrified.
I have two novels self-published and for the most part, they sit on the electronic shelves gathering dust. I see a few sales here and there, but nothing spectacular. Part of me thinks and hopes that a Patreon page will change that. That having that link out there will attract more people to my website and generate more interest.
Another, perhaps more logical part, realizes that it will basically be just another self-published novel. One I’ll have to market, something I’m still learning how to do. One that may sit on the electronic shelves, gathering dust. Dust I will have to look at each day when I go in and see I have no new subscribers.
But it’s all about incentive. If I can get even one person to subscribe, it will give me impetus. My plan is to post serials, which I’ve noticed some indie authors do through their websites. If I know someone is waiting for that new chapter each week, I’ll want to post it. I think that will keep me going. And that interaction between myself and readers, even if it’s just one, is what I want more than anything.
Wish me luck. My plan to launch on September 5th, with a full serial ready to go, and an exclusive short story going to anyone who donates.
Anyone else have any crazy marketing plans? Do they terrify you?

HIPAA compliance training is a mandatory educational program designed to ensure that individuals and organizations handling PHI in the healthcare industry are equipped with the necessary knowledge and understanding of HIPAA regulations, safeguarding patient privacy and data security. HIPAA training ensures adherence to the strict regulations set forth by the federal government. It helps to protect patient privacy, maintain data security, and avoid potential legal and financial repercussions.
Equipped to Safeguard PHI
HIPAA compliance training equips healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills needed to safeguard PHI throughout its lifecycle, from creation to disposal. PHI includes any individually identifiable health information related to past, present, or future physical or mental health conditions, treatment received, and payment for healthcare services. This sensitive data encompasses patient names, addresses, birth dates, medical records, social security numbers, and any other data that could be linked to an individual’s identity. It is the job of HIPAA compliance officers or privacy officers within healthcare organizations to ensure compliance, conduct risk assessments, implement policies and procedures, and provide ongoing training to staff. HIPAA compliance training is not a one-time event; it is an ongoing process to keep healthcare professionals up to date with any changes in regulations, best practices, and emerging threats. Regular refresher training helps reinforce compliance awareness and instill a culture of privacy and security within healthcare organizations.
Knowing the HIPAA Rules
By undergoing HIPAA compliance training, healthcare professionals gain an in-depth understanding of the HIPAA Privacy Rule, HIPAA Security Rule, and Breach Notification Rule, which are the three main components of HIPAA regulations. The HIPAA Privacy Rule establishes national standards for protecting individuals’ medical records and other PHI. It sets limits on the use and disclosure of PHI without patient authorization and grants patients certain rights over their health information. Healthcare professionals must learn how to handle and share PHI appropriately, respecting patient privacy and confidentiality. This includes understanding the minimum necessary standard, which dictates that only the minimum amount of PHI required for a particular purpose should be disclosed.
The HIPAA Security Rule complements the HIPAA Privacy Rule by focusing on the technical and administrative safeguards required to protect electronic PHI (ePHI) against unauthorized access, use, and disclosure. Healthcare professionals learn about the implementation of physical, technical, and administrative safeguards to ensure the integrity, confidentiality, and availability of ePHI. This involves measures such as access controls, encryption, secure communication protocols, and regular risk assessments. The Breach Notification Rule outlines the steps that healthcare organizations must take in the event of a breach of unsecured PHI. Healthcare professionals must know how to recognize the occurrence of a breach and the required notifications to affected individuals, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), and potentially the media.
Non-compliance with HIPAA regulations can result in severe penalties, including significant fines and even criminal charges in cases of willful negligence. Data breaches and HIPAA violations can irreparably damage an organization’s reputation and erode patient trust. Taking HIPAA compliance training seriously is a legal requirement as well as a professional and ethical responsibility. By diligently adhering to HIPAA regulations and applying the knowledge gained from training, healthcare professionals contribute to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of sensitive patient information, that ensures the delivery of quality healthcare services while preserving patient privacy and trust.

(The Nationalist, 11 February 2000)
The hardest job in Ireland today is that of a parent. It must sometimes seem to them that everybody’s hand is raised against them. The partnership of former times between home, school, parish and society is dissolving fast in the face of many new influences which can broadly be grouped under the general label of secularization.
Whether it’s unstable marital relationships, drugs, pornography, peer pressure, alcohol, freewheeling sexual practices, exam or career pressure, the demands of money-making and marketing or family-unfriendly legislation, there is a formidable array of forces lined up against stable family life and a healthy process of maturation in the young. And the problems which flow from these are there for all to see.
As someone who has no experience of bringing up children, I sometimes think it must be terrifying for parents to find themselves facing these difficulties, especially in their children’s’ teen years. Am I mistaken in thinking that parents are often afraid of their children, even to the extent of trying to buy them off or to win their affection with money and presents?
If the description I have given above is anywhere near the mark, it must surely raise the question of what can be done to help parents exercise their role as parents, a role which is among the most important of all in society. When you look at the situation as it stands now, there doesn’t seem to be a great deal of help on offer out there.
Perhaps that is a challenge to parents to begin helping themselves. After all, there are community and voluntary groups for just about every social ill one can imagine. Why not one for parents? As one step among many in that direction what about a Parents Anonymous along the lines of Alcoholics Anonymous? I’m thinking here of meetings on a regular basis in which parents share their difficulties in confidence and help each other by lending a sympathetic ear. Think of how much it could mean to a parent in difficulty simply to be listened to by someone like themselves who understands what the problems are like. It’s not a question of a problem-solving agency – there is no such fairy godmother – but a matter of human solidarity. Many vocational sectors have support groups; why not parents?
I have a lot of confidence that when people come together, motivated by a common human concern, they can do great things. Let’s not sell ourselves short: rather than look at a problem and say ‘Why?’ would it not be better to look at a possibility and say ‘Why not?’

Coordinator: Social Youth Development – K.A.NE., Greece
Associação Mais Cidadania (Portugal)
KEY – Innovation in Culture Education and Youth (Cyprus)
CEMEA del Mezzogiorno (Italy)
Association for Democratic Prosperity – Zid (Montenegro)
The Nordic centre of Heritage Learning and Creativity (Sweden)
The idea for this project stems from the recognition of the need for better networking and developing the skills of people working in the youth sector, and to improve the services offered by youth structures, particularly in regard to supporting young people with fewer opportunities to develop skills and competencies both at personal as well as professional level.
Wanting to have a more holistic and comprehensive approach, this project consisted of three main activities:
Α1: Long-term EVS activity, involving 4 partner organizations from Greece (coordinator and hosting organisation),Italy, Cyprus and Portugal (sending organizations) and 3 young volunteers from Italy, Cyprus and Portugal. The volunteers supported the activities of the Youth Centre of Kalamata, but also collaborated with institutions and organizations like the Municipality of Kalamata and the Foifa Natural Farm, supporting their activities and promoting volunteerism and Active Citizenship, as well as the importance of the cooperation between active stakeholders and citizens for the development of a local society. Two of the participants in this activity were participants with fewer opportunities (1 facing economic difficulties and long-term unemployment and 1 facing social difficulties and marginalization due to past problems with substance abuse).
Α2: Youth Worker’s training and networking activity (job-shadowing) involving an organisation from Montenegro (sending) and one from Greece (coordinator and hosting) as well as a youth worker, member of the sending organisation from Montenegro. The activity was held in Kalamata , Greece from 19/01/2015 to 09/02/2015.
Α3: Youth Worker’s training and networking activity (job-shadowing) involving an organisation from Sweden
(hosting) and one from Greece (coordinator and sending organization), and a member and volunteer of the sending organization with experience both in working with young people with fewer opportunities, and in education using non-formal learning methods. The activity was implemented in Ostersund Sweden, from 05/06/2015 until 26/06/2015.
The methods and tools of non-formal learning played a key role in the conduct of all three activities of the project, whereas the working programme aimed at meeting the needs and expectations of the participants, with particular emphasis on the facilitation of the development of skills and competences, as well as the exchange of experiences, good practices and ideas.
The project had a confound impact on the participants, through their development of skills at personal and professional levels, as well as on the participating organizations, as it contributed to their capacity building and professionalization -especially in terms of working directly with young people and volunteers-, and consolidated the partnership and collaboration among them. On the other hand, this project promoted the importance of non-formal learning and the skills and competences acquired through it, especially when it comes to supporting young people to strengthen their position in the labour market. It also promoted the importance of youth work and youth work activities.
Some of the ways that the project was promoted outside our organization are:

The NJ Supreme Court recently issued a notable ruling that could affect firearms ownership rights in New Jersey. This was is the first time in 26 years that state’s highest court has weighed in on a firearm possession issue. The court, in a unanimous decision, held that the state’s domestic violence prevention law is not a violation of residents’ 2nd Amendment rights to bear arms. The NJ domestic violence prevention law gives NJ police officers the authority to confiscate dangerous weapons in cases involving an alleged domestic violence offense. This means that a person who has been hit with a temporary restraining order (TRO) or a final restraining order (FRO) can potentially lose their right to legally own a handgun.
The latest case highlights the contentious nature of the issue: should domestic violence offenders be stripped of their Second Amendment rights and forfeit their weapons. This debate over NJ residents’ constitutional rights was directly acknowledged by Associate Justice Lee Solomon, who wrote the decision for the NJ Supreme Court. Solomon indicated that this important constitutional right can be restricted in certain circumstances and that it is “subject to reasonable limitations.” Solomon noted that “the police power of the state provides our Legislature with the authority to regulate firearms.”
Essex County NJ Domestic Violence Charges and Firearms Ownership Rights
The recent New Jersey Court ruling dealt with a case in which a person was accused of committing domestic violence against his wife in Morristown, New Jersey. The defendant was slapped with a restraining order, leading Morristown police to seize his weapons in accordance with the New Jersey Prevention of Domestic Violence Act. Prosecutors argued that the forced surrender of the defendant’s weapons was necessary because his “volatile marital history” suggested that he might be a threat to his wife.
A couple of lower courts ruled in favor of the defendant after finding that his ex-wife did not have a ton of credibility or evidence to support her claims of domestic violence. The courts ruled that the defendant had a constitutional right to bear arms and that this right ought not to be trumped by his prior marital difficulties.
Now the NJ Supreme Court has overruled the lower courts and declared that the ex-cop’s history of domestic violence, which included multiple altercations during his previous marriage, made him a safety risk. As a result, the court said that the police should be allowed to seize his weapons.
Tough Weapons Offense Laws in the State of New Jersey
The State of New Jersey is known for having some of the toughest handgun possession laws in the U.S. These tough gun crime laws have now been backed up the NJ Supreme Court.
Until recently, the NJ Supreme Court’s last ruling in a firearms case was issued in 1990. In that earlier case, the court upheld a denial of firearms permits to a couple of private detectives. The most recent case was different because it involved the New Jersey Prevention of Domestic Violence Act, which was not passed until 1991. The court relied on that law to rule that the defendant, an ex-cop with the Roseland Police Department, can be ordered to forfeit his firearms and his firearms ID card due to his prior history of domestic violence. Keep in mind that this ruling sets the bar extremely high for NJ residents because ex-cops like the defendant typically receive more latitude when it comes to gun ownership rights. In fact, former police officers are some of the only individuals in the Garden State who are able to get concealed carry permits in the first place.
Under the NJ Prevention of Domestic Violence Act, state officials, including local police departments, have the right to seize potentially deadly weapons from anyone deemed to pose a risk to the “public health, safety, or welfare.” In most domestic violence cases, victims could find themselves concerned about a threat, or retaliation, from a domestic violence offender.
What Is the Standard of Proof in NJ Domestic Violence Weapons Cases?
New Jersey judges can be expected to take very few chances when deciding whether a domestic violence offender poses a threat to public safety. In the end, a court has to sign off on a request by the police department to seize handguns and other weapons from an individual charged with a domestic violence crime and/or facing a final restraining order.
The standard of proof utilized by judges in these domestic violence weapons cases is a civil standard of “preponderance of the evidence.” In other words: the threat of violence posed by the alleged offender must be more likely than not to result in violence. This is the same standard of proof used by New Jersey judges at restraining order hearings. For comparison, the standard of proof in criminal cases is “beyond a reasonable doubt,” which is a significantly higher threshold for prosecutors to meet.
What Does the NJ Supreme Court’s Ruling Mean for Domestic Violence Weapons Cases?
Shortly after the state Supreme Court made its ruling in the domestic violence firearms possession case, one proponent of the NJ domestic violence prevention law spoke out. Nancy Erika Smith is a legal advocate for victims of domestic violence in New Jersey and the founder of Wynona’s House in Newark, NJ. Smith said, “If you can’t control yourself, if you have to be violent to your own family, of course you shouldn’t have a gun.”
Alexander Roubian, president of the New Jersey Second Amendment Society, echoed the sentiment that domestic violence offenders should not have access to dangerous weapons such as firearms and handguns. According to Roubian, “anybody who’s given due process and is guilty of domestic violence should not be allowed to own any type of weapon.”

Planning for a Major Life Event: Financial Considerations Before Getting Married
Getting married is an exciting and joyous occasion, but it can also bring about significant financial changes in your life. Before saying ‘I do’, it is crucial to have open and honest discussions with your partner regarding your financial status, goals, and future plans. By taking the time to plan for this major life event, you can set a solid foundation for a successful and financially secure future together.
1. Assessing Your Individual Finances:
Before joining your lives together, it is essential to understand each other’s financial situation. Start by reviewing your personal finances, including your income, expenses, debts, and savings. This will help you get a clear picture of your financial standing and identify any areas that need improvement or adjustment.
2. Setting Financial Goals:
Once you have a complete understanding of your individual finances, it’s time to define your shared financial goals as a couple. Discuss your short-term and long-term financial aspirations, such as buying a house, starting a family, or saving for retirement. By aligning your goals and working together towards them, you can create a unified and harmonious approach to your finances.
3. Creating a Joint Budget:
Establishing a joint budget is an integral step in managing your finances as a couple. Evaluate your current spending habits and identify areas where you can make adjustments. Determine how your shared income will be allocated towards bills, savings, and discretionary spending. A structured budget will not only help you manage your expenses effectively but also ensure that you’re working towards your financial goals.
4. Discussing Debt and Credit Scores:
Debt can impact your financial stability as a couple. Be open and transparent about any existing debts, including student loans, credit cards, or car loans. Discuss how you plan to manage and pay off these debts together. Additionally, understanding each other’s credit scores is crucial, as it directly affects your ability to qualify for loans or secure favorable interest rates.
5. Talking about Insurance:
Discussing your insurance needs is a vital part of financial planning before marriage. Evaluate your existing insurance policies, such as health, life, and auto insurance, and consider whether they need to be revised or combined. It’s also crucial to ensure that you have the right coverage to protect each other in case of emergencies or unforeseen circumstances.
6. Deciding on Joint or Separate Accounts:
When it comes to managing your finances as a couple, you must decide whether to have joint or separate bank accounts. Each option has its advantages and disadvantages, and what works for one couple might not work for another. It’s important to have an open discussion about this and agree on a system that suits your preferences and financial goals.
7. Seeking Professional Help:
If you’re unsure of how to navigate your finances as a couple or have complex financial situations, it may be beneficial to seek professional help. A financial advisor can provide valuable guidance and expertise in creating a comprehensive financial plan tailored to your specific needs. They can help you optimize your investments, plan for retirement, and ensure that you’re on track with your financial goals.
8. Updating Legal Documents:
Getting married often involves updating legal documents such as wills, power of attorney, and healthcare proxies to reflect your new marital status. Consult with an attorney to ensure that all necessary legal documents are updated and aligned with your current wishes.
In conclusion, planning for a major life event like marriage requires careful consideration of your financial situation. By openly discussing your finances, setting goals, creating a budget, and addressing any outstanding debts or insurance needs, you can lay a solid foundation for a financially secure and successful future together. Remember, honest communication, transparency, and a willingness to work as a team are key to managing your finances as a couple.

WASHINGTON -- Sen. Evan Bayh, D-Ind., announced his decision not to seek another term in Congress on Monday, saying he is fed up with the excessive partisanship on Capitol Hill.
Bayh's exit could mean the U.S. Senate is in for a big change this fall.
Bad Omen for Democrats?
Even prior to the former Indiana governor's announcement the prospects for Democrats this November did not appear too promising.
"Congress is not operating as it should, there is much too much partisanship and not enough progress too much narrow ideology and not enough practical problem-solving," Bayh said at a news conference in Indianapolis.
Bayh's decision makes him the latest in a string of Democrats departing Washington politics.
Last week, Rep. Patrick Kennedy, D-R.I., son of the late Senator Ted Kennedy, D-Mass., announced he would not seek re-election this fall.
And in January two key Democrats in the Senate, Byron Dorgan of North Dakota and Chris Dodd of Connecticut, bowed out from their campaigns as well.
Their departure puts those seats and several others in play for Republicans this fall, giving the GOP a shot at winning back the majority and control of the Senate.
Bayh blamed partisanship and gridlock for his decision to quit, placing responsibility on both Republicans and his own party.
"Even at a time of enormous national challenge, the people's business is not getting done," Bayh said.
Political observers agree that the long hours and constant bickering makes serving in Washington less appealing.
"The Hill is an incredibly poisonous place right now," the Boston Globe's Susan Milligan said. "Honestly most of them could be making a lot more money for a lot less aggravation doing something else."
Steele: Moderate Dems Ashamed to Face Constituents
However, some Republicans believe there's more to the story.
Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele said a frustrated electorate is sending "moderate Democrats across the country like Bayh running for the hills because they sold out their constituents and don't want to face them at the ballot box."
Still, Democrats in Indiana are predicting they'll survive without Bayh.
"Well, I think that the candidate who is successful at attaining the nomination from the party, party's central committee, will have broad-based support. And it will be the best possible person," Indiana Democratic Chairman Dan Parker said.
Party leaders in Washington agree with Parker's assessment.
The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee issued a statement saying the Indiana Senate seat is one that Democrats will fight to hold on to.
However with Bayh's exit, that fight has become much harder to win.

Filmmaker Damon Davis relived the year after the fatal shooting of Michael Brown in his documentary, “Whose Streets?”
Brown’s death prompted protests, live videos on social media and tension within the St. Louis community. The reality of the aftermath was portrayed in this film that hit home for Webster University students.
Robert Richardson, a Webster University student and resident of Florissant, was at the forefront of the events that took place following the shooting. He said police involved shootings get frustrating, but the film was a good reminder to stay active in social justice.
“You feel the stress of constantly talking and constantly fighting, at times you need that reminder,” said Richardson. “[It is] a moment of nostalgia. Somebody asked me why I was so upset and why I cried when it first happened, and it’s like you watch your entire childhood crumble before your eyes.”
The day of the shooting still resonated with Kayla Shepperd, who is also a Webster University student and Florissant resident. Shepperd believed it was frustrating how the media changed the portrayal of the event to fit their agenda.
“The media calls [African-Americans] looters and rioters, but then after the Superbowl, they had all them white people rioting and looting,” Shepperd said. “They call that a celebration. Same thing that people in Ferguson was doing, that’s just something that I don’t understand.”
Coordinator of the Multicultural Center and friend of Davis, Larry Morris put together the event and said it was only right to bring Davis to Webster.
Davis was active in most of the aftermath of Brown’s death, gathering 400 hours of footage to put together the documentary. Davis said he would not be continuing the “Whose Streets?” project but wanted to commemorate the people who put their lives on the line and show what it was like to be a part of the protests.
“My main goal was to show black people dignified in a beautiful way,” said Davis. “To show the dignity in being angry. It’s okay. We don’t have to make excuses to make white people feel okay about it.”

check the brake interlock switch, its down by the brake pedal arm. If its bad, replace it, it wont let the shifter interlock open and you cant move the shifter.
There is a harness plug under the master cylinder. This harness controls the brake safety switch. It will get soaked with fluid then quit working. Some wire dry spray and harness cleaning will make it work then change the fuse. It will not be a permanent fix as it gets wet fast. There is a recall on these harnesses. The recall was for fire starting with this issue. The dealer will fix the problem for free. Their fix moves the sensor and looks like they just rig something to make it work, but it does and it was free.

Backward compatibility is one of the features on PlayStation 5 that cannot be missed because it is the first time in years that PlayStation home console will support this feature natively.
Games played on the console will come with benefits from a much better processor and solid state drive will also help gaming experience smoother like never before. This alone makes coming back to PlayStation 4 games on a newer system worth a try as the experience will not be the same.
Recently, Santa Monica Studio mentioned that normally PlayStation 5 can run God of War at the 1080p resolution with a near-instant loading speed and better framerate in a performance mode which led players to be pretty upset as 4K resolution will only be limited to graphical enhanced option, coming with 30FPS; however, there are a new lifehack that will boost framerate for a better experience!
VG Tech has revealed that players can run the game on the PlayStation 5 with checkerboard 4K and 60 frame-per-second supports by using the physical copy without any update applied to the game. In this way, the system will not be able to limit the framerate and is forced to run a gain natively; though, the additional game modes e.g. New Game Plus will not be available to choose until the game is updated.
There is no reason as to why Sony and Santa Monica Studio decided to take the support for 4K/60FPS out of this game, but it is assumed that they need to prevent the system to run the game at the highest performance all the time as it can have some damage in the long run.
