While there are plenty of hot new technologies establishing their niche in the market, cloud computing is perhaps one of the most revolutionary. Just as digital media such as movies, television and video games are moving exclusively toward online streaming, cloud computing enables users to access files, software and other resources through internet networks. Not only has this technology changed how people communicate and share information, but it is also responsible for the latest wave of job creation in the U.S., according to Ere.net.
A recent report conducted by global technology and research company IDC – assisted by Microsoft – predicts that employers will create nearly 14 million jobs worldwide thanks to cloud computing services. Workers in North America can expect to see about 1.2 million of those opportunities, though the majority of new jobs will go to India and China. The report also states that the technological shift will likely occur in smaller and medium-sized businesses before the major companies sacrifice their in-house systems.
Not all of these new opportunities will be directly related to working with cloud computing technology either. Ere.net reports that many companies will be able to redistribute money spent maintaining their old networks and servers toward hiring new employees.

Literary Quote of the Day: Ambrose Bierce
Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914) was a brilliant but underappreciated American author and journalist who had a long and tumultuous relationship with press baron William Randolph Hearst. He also was a misanthrope possibly without peer.
â€œThe Devilâ€™s Dictionaryâ€? (1911) is a satirical â€œdictionaryâ€? written by Bierce that offers reinterpretations of the English language that lampoon cant and political double-talk. It has inspired many imitations.
The following definition is a favorite of mine, and I always had a framed enlargement of it on my desk or office wall over the many years that I was a newspaper editor:
EDITOR (noun): A person who combines the judicial functions of Minos, Rhadamanthus and Aeacus, but is placable with an obolus; a severely virtuous censor, but so charitable withal that he tolerates the virtues of others and the vices of himself; who flings about him the splintering lightning and sturdy thunders of admonition till he resembles a bunch of firecrackers petulantly uttering his mind at the tail of a dog; then straightway murmurs a mild, melodious lay, soft as the cooing of a donkey intoning its prayer to the evening star. Master of mysteries and lord of law, high-pinnacled upon the throne of thought, his face suffused with the dim splendors of the Transfiguration, his legs intertwisted and his tongue a-cheek, the editor spills his will along the paper and cuts it off in lengths to suit. And at intervals from behind the veil of the temple is heard the voice of the foreman demanding three inches of wit and six lines of religious meditation, or bidding him turn off the wisdom and whack up some pathos.

164. Where it is not possible to establish accurately the required share because reliable information on the dominant company’s costs is not available, the Commission may use cost data of apparently efficient competitors. Where it is in general not possible to accurately establish the required share or the commercially viable share, the Commission will overall assess to what extent the rebate system hinders expansion or entry by competitors. It will do so by investigating the market performance of the dominant company and its competitors, preferably by comparing the situation before and after the rebate system was introduced. It will amongst others estimate the importance of the rebate by comparing its size to the full price per unit of product and will assess the indications of an actual foreclosure effect such as exit or decliningmarket shares of competitors or de-listing of their products.
165. In case it is clearly established that the effective price is above ATC, it is unlikely
that the Commission will conclude that a market distorting foreclosure effect results. However, exceptionally this may be concluded, for instance if it is established that the dominant company operates in a market where it has certain non-replicable advantages and that the rebate system is likely to exclude entrants that would help the competitive situation on the market to improve. In such a situation the dominant company could prevent entry or eliminate entrants by using rebates while the effective price stays above its own ATC. For such rebates to be assessed as abusive additional elements will have to be shown, in this case that the entrant will only be less efficient because of these non-replicable advantages.

The truly adequate title of a recording “hit” of it’s era, by Simon & Garfunkel, and the story behind the song, sent in to us at e’Lanka, so a very big “Thank you” to Charles Schokman from all our readers who fully understand the value of any interesting story/stories such as these.
A Grim Reminder & The Sound Of Silence
A humane act of Today I read a very beautiful story, which I decided to share. It is the story of a poor boy, an American of a Jewish family, from Buffalo, who wins a scholarship at Columbia University.
There, he befriends a boy who turned out to be a great friend, and his roommate. But in his freshman year of college, watching a baseball game, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, he went blind.
The doctor said it was conjunctivitis and it would go away. It didn’t … it was a cataract that had damaged his optic nerves. The boy became blind, went into depression, dropped out of school and returned to his homeland.
This friend, his roommate, went there and convinced him to return to the University. The friend said to him: – the darkness will accompany you and I will be your light. The friend started to help him in everything. He read him the tests, the books, everything.
This blind guy ended up graduating with a law degree, then got a master’s degree from Harvard and a PhD from Oxford. He became a well-recognized attorney and a Counselor in the White House. He was advisor to American presidents such as Gerald Ford and Jimmy Carter.
This beautiful story of overcoming adversity and showing the true value of friendship is the life of Sandy Greenberg.
But going back in time, in 1964, the roommate who helped him graduate, Arthur Ira Garfunkel (of the duo Simon & Garfunkel) borrowed $400 from Sandy.
He needed the money to release a record. Sandy lent him the money. The record was released in 1964, and became one of the most popular songs.
It was the song that the roommate made in honor of his friend Sandy Greenberg, a song that everyone knows, but like me, no one knew the story behind the lyrics.

Autism Acceptance Week 2023
As a school for learners who have ASD, it is vital to our curriculum and community that we teach our children to celebrate who they are. Having done the traditional Kestrel House School Balloon Release for the past few years, this year we decided to take the learners out on exciting trips in and around London. Our youngest learners made a trip to the London Sea Life Aquarium, some learners went to Golders Green Park and the rest of the learners made history as our first ever trip to the London Eye! It was a magnificent way to celebrate our learners, seeing all of London from our own private pods. We were very proud of all of our learners on this trip as every single one of them was able to access the London Eye despite some having a fear of heights. We ended the trip with a picnic and a play in Jubilee Gardens.

What is a Bareboat Charter?
A Bareboat Charter offers a unique way to explore the waters. You rent a boat with no crew or provisions included. So, you are responsible for navigating and operating it. It’s perfect for experienced sailors or those who want flexibility.
Before you go, make sure you know sailing and navigation rules. You must be able to steer, anchor, and maneuver through different weather. Be familiar with safety procedures and emergency protocols.

The charter offers lots of benefits. Guests can explore beautiful locations, with the crew taking care of everything – from navigating to organizing activities like snorkeling and fishing. Plus, personalized services are tailored to meet each guest’s needs. Gourmet meals, special requests, and leisure activities make for a custom-made vacation.
In addition, an exclusive opportunity awaits. Guests can explore hidden places and secluded anchorages, inaccessible by land. With the knowledge and expertise of local guides within the crew, they can create memories that will last forever.
Pros and Cons of Bareboat Charter
Bareboat Charter: Advantages and Disadvantages
Bareboat chartering entails renting a yacht without a crew, offering both advantages and disadvantages.
- Independence: The absence of crew allows for complete freedom and flexibility in planning and executing the sailing itinerary.
- Privacy: With no crew members on board, guests can enjoy privacy and intimacy during the entire voyage.
- Cost savings: Bareboat charters tend to be more economical as they eliminate crew expenses, making them a popular choice for experienced sailors.
- Skill enhancement: Handling a bareboat requires navigational skills and seamanship, providing an opportunity for sailors to sharpen their expertise and knowledge.
- Responsiveness: Without a qualified crew, any potential issues or emergencies must be handled solely by the charterer, which may require advanced seafaring skills.
- Safety concerns: Without professional crew members to assist, novice sailors may find it challenging to handle unexpected situations or adverse weather conditions.
- Additional responsibilities: Charterers must take care of all onboard tasks, including cooking, cleaning, and maintenance, which can be demanding, especially during longer voyages.
- Limited services: Bareboat charters typically lack the luxury and convenience of having a dedicated crew to cater to the guests’ needs and desires.
Furthermore, it is crucial to note that bareboat charter companies often require the charterer to possess relevant qualifications, such as a sailing certificate, ensuring a certain level of competence and safety during the trip.
A true fact: According to a study conducted by the Yacht Charter Fleet in 2020, the popularity of bareboat charters has been steadily increasing, with a significant rise in bookings from experienced sailors seeking adventure and independence.
Pros: Bareboat charter allows you to experience the freedom of being captain, while crewed charter lets you sit back and relax like a boss – just make sure not to fire yourself!
A bareboat charter is an option for those looking for a fun and adventurous sailing experience. Here are the advantages of going for one:
- Freedom! With no crew on board, you have the power to make the journey your own. Enjoy a unique and personal sailing excursion.
- Privacy! Get the entire boat all to yourself. Spend quality time with family or have some alone time with beautiful views.
- Flexibility! Choose your own itinerary and explore as many destinations within the sailing area as you wish.
- Cost-effectiveness! By taking charge of everything onboard, you can save money and still enjoy the sailing experience.
- Showcase your skills! Skilled sailors have the chance to captain their own vessel. Sharpen navigational skills and gain confidence in handling different weather conditions.
Pro Tip: Have enough boating experience and knowledge of navigation rules before embarking. Familiarize yourself with local regulations and navigational charts for a successful journey.
Bareboat charter offers many benefits, but consider the possible drawbacks too! Here are some things to think about before setting out on a bareboat charter journey.
- Steep learning curve: Operating a boat on your own needs sailing experience and knowledge. It can be tricky, especially if you don’t know navigation techniques or how to handle different weather conditions.
- Responsibility and liability: You’re solely responsible for the boat and its passengers. Damage or accidents on your trip are solely your responsibility. Make sure you have insurance and be ready for any surprises.
- Limited amenities: Unlike fully crewed charters, bareboat charters don’t come with extra services like onboard chefs or guides. This means all aspects of the trip are on you, like cooking and navigating.
Still, many people pick bareboat charter for its advantages. The freedom to explore at your own pace and make your own itinerary can be great. Think about your skills and comfort level before deciding to go.
Be prepared! Research destinations, improve your sailing skills and make sure you have all safety equipment. Then, you can make the most out of your bareboat charter experience.

Pros and Cons of Crewed Charter
Crewed Charter: The Pros and Cons
Crewed charter offers unique advantages and disadvantages for yacht enthusiasts. Let’s explore the benefits and drawbacks of opting for a crewed charter experience.
- Personalized Service: One of the major advantages of crewed charter is the personalized service you receive. With a dedicated crew onboard, you can sit back and relax, while the professionals take care of all your needs.
- Expertise and Guidance: Another benefit of crewed charter is the expertise and guidance provided by the crew. They are experienced sailors who can assist with navigation, offer local knowledge, and ensure a safe and enjoyable journey.
- Enhanced Comfort and Luxury: Crewed charter allows you to indulge in luxury and comfort. From gourmet meals prepared by private chefs to luxurious amenities onboard, you can experience the ultimate relaxation and pampering.
- Higher Cost: Compared to bareboat charters, crewed charters tend to be more expensive. The cost includes not only the vessel but also the crew’s wages, provisions, and gratuities. Keep in mind that additional expenses can arise for activities and fuel.
- Lack of Privacy: While having a crew onboard offers personalized service, it also means sharing the space with strangers. The crew members need their own quarters and may need to access common areas, which can limit privacy.
- Less Flexibility: With a crewed charter, you have less flexibility in terms of itinerary and daily activities. The crew has their own set schedule to follow, and you may need to adhere to their plan.
It’s essential to consider these factors when deciding between a crewed or bareboat charter.
For some, the comfort, luxury, and knowledgeable crew of a crewed charter are worth the higher cost and potential loss of privacy and flexibility. However, if budget and independent exploration are priorities, a bareboat charter may be a more suitable choice for you.
Don’t miss out on the opportunity to create unforgettable memories on your next yachting adventure. Explore the options and choose the charter that aligns with your preferences and desires. Book your crewed charter today and embark on an unforgettable voyage of luxury and relaxation.
Pros: Because let’s face it, having a crew on board means you can blame someone else if you accidentally run aground.
People want unique experiences for their holidays. Crewed charters are becoming popular! Let’s explore the pros.

- Luxury & Comfort: Receive exquisite accommodations and personalized services on board. Enjoy gourmet meals and an attentive crew.
- Stress-free: Logistics and planning are taken care of. Relax and savor every moment!
Crewed charters offer extra perks. Privacy away from the crowds. Plus, insider tips from the dedicated crew.
Don’t miss out! Start planning today. An adventure awaits with relaxation, luxury and memories to last a lifetime.
Crewed charter can be costly – with wages, fuel and maintenance to consider.
Lack of privacy is a downside, making it hard to have alone time.
Flexibility is limited, as pre-determined itineraries often apply.
You depend on the crew’s skills and expertise – so choose wisely!
Hands-on sailing and navigating may be restricted.
Before booking, do your research on both the yacht and crew. That way, you’ll be sure to get the best sailing experience possible.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Between Bareboat and Crewed Charter
The choice between bareboat and crewed charter involves several important factors that should be considered. These factors can impact the overall experience and success of your yacht charter. By understanding these considerations, you can make an informed decision that aligns with your preferences and needs.
To help you in making this decision, let’s take a closer look at the factors that you should keep in mind:
- Level of Experience: Your level of boating experience plays a crucial role in determining whether you should opt for a bareboat or crewed charter. If you have adequate skills and knowledge to navigate and operate a yacht on your own, a bareboat charter may be a suitable choice. On the other hand, if you lack experience or prefer a more relaxed and worry-free vacation, a crewed charter can provide you with professional assistance and guidance.
- Time and Effort: Consider the amount of time and effort you are willing to invest in your yacht charter. With a bareboat charter, you will be responsible for all aspects of the trip, including navigation, provisioning, and maintenance. This requires careful planning, organization, and hands-on involvement. In contrast, a crewed charter frees you from these responsibilities, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy your sailing vacation without any additional burden.
- Skillset and Roles: Evaluate the skillset and roles of the individuals in your group. If you have a diverse set of skills and everyone is capable of taking on different responsibilities, a bareboat charter can be a rewarding and collaborative experience. However, if you prefer a more leisurely and pampered vacation, a crewed charter provides professional crew members who will take care of the operation of the yacht, leaving you to simply enjoy the journey.
- Budget: Your budget is an important consideration when choosing between a bareboat and crewed charter. Bareboat charters are generally more budget-friendly, as you have the option to skip additional crew expenses. On the other hand, crewed charters come with a higher price tag, accounting for the crew’s salaries, food, and other related costs. Consider your financial limitations and weigh them against the level of comfort and convenience you desire.
Now that we have covered the factors to consider when choosing between bareboat and crewed charters, let’s explore some unique details that can aid your decision-making process.
Remember, the ultimate goal is to find a charter option that aligns with your preferences, abilities, and budget. By carefully evaluating these factors, you can ensure a memorable and enjoyable yachting experience.
Why hire a crew when you can make your own cocktails? Bareboat charter: where saving money and drowning your sorrows go hand in hand.
Planning your budget is a must when deciding between a bareboat and crewed charter. Think about various factors like the size of your group, length of the charter, and additional expenses for an informed choice.
No need for complex calculations or long tables. Here are some key points to help you plan your budget for both options.
For a bareboat charter, allocate money for the rental fee of the boat. This cost changes based on the size and type of vessel you pick. Don’t forget fuel, docking fees, provisioning, and insurance. They can increase costs quickly and affect your budget.
A crewed charter usually includes all the needed amenities and services. Although it may seem more expensive upfront than a bareboat rental, it often covers essentials like food provision, water toys, Wi-Fi access, fuel costs, and gratuities for the crew. That said, it might provide excellent value for money.
To stay within your allocated budget on a crewed charter, set clear expectations with the crew regarding any additional expenses during the trip. That way, no surprises at the end of your journey.
On top of that, regardless of the charter option, have some emergency funds ready for unexpected expenses. This will give you peace of mind throughout your voyage.
By considering your group’s needs and preferences as well as financial aspects like rental fees, provisioning costs, and unforeseen circumstances, you can decide which charter option suits both your desires and financial capabilities best.
Choosing between bareboat and crewed charter can be a crucial decision. It is important to assess your skillset and comfort level. Let’s explore the factors to consider!
To make an informed decision, it is essential to assess your proficiency in various aspects of sailing. Think about navigation skills, boat handling, understanding of weather conditions, anchoring techniques, and emergency management. These skills are vital for both types of charters.
Let’s compare bareboat and crewed charters based on experience level:
Novice sailors may find it hard to handle a boat independently. Opting for a bareboat charter without any previous experience is not suggested, unless they plan to take sailing lessons beforehand.
Intermediate sailors might feel comfortable taking on a bareboat charter. However, they should evaluate their confidence level before making the decision. Alternatively, a crewed charter could provide the support and guidance needed for a relaxed sailing experience.
Advanced sailors are well-versed in sailing techniques. They can confidently choose either option based on their preferences. They have the necessary skills to navigate through challenging situations independently during a bareboat charter or have a crew onboard during a crewed charter.
Each charter option has its own advantages and disadvantages. Understanding your capabilities will help you select the most suitable option for a memorable sailing adventure.
For example, I met a couple who decided to take a bareboat charter despite having minimal sailing experience. They took sailing lessons prior to their trip. With determination and newly acquired skills, they successfully navigated their journey, leaving them with treasured memories of their self-sufficient adventure.
Desired Level of Independence
When picking between bareboat and crewed charters, independence should be considered. Here are 6 points to think about:
- Self-Sufficiency: With a bareboat charter, you can sail alone without a crew. You’re in charge of navigation, anchoring and the boat’s systems. This is best for experienced sailors that like being independent at sea.
- Freedom to Explore: With a bareboat charter, you can choose where to go and how long to stay in each spot. This gives you the chance to have unique adventures.
- Privacy: Bareboat charters are perfect if you want privacy with your loved ones or friends. You decide who joins you on board for a secluded trip.
- Professional Guidance: If you’d rather have a relaxed vacation with pro help, a crewed charter might be better. You can relax and the captain and crew take care of navigation, cooking and cleaning.
- Expert Local Knowledge: A crewed charter gives you access to the captain’s local knowledge about secret spots. They can tell you about bays, beaches and towns that are off-the-beaten-path.
- Enhanced Safety: Safety should be top priority when sailing. With a crewed charter, someone knowledgeable will be there to handle any unexpected issues or emergencies.
It’s important to pick what aligns with your desired level of independence. Both bareboat and crewed charters have their advantages. Make sure to decide which charter fits you best.
Size of Group
Group size plays an important role when deciding between bareboat and crewed charters. It affects the type and size of vessel and the level of service you need. Let’s take a look at the following table for further details:
Smaller groups of 1-4 usually go for bareboat charters, while 5-8 may opt for basic provisioning. Groups ranging from 9-12 may select bareboat with standard provisioning. Larger groups of 13+ may prefer crewed charters with full-service capabilities.
Yacht charters used to be for experienced sailors or yacht owners, but as boating tourism rose, companies started offering various services based on group sizes.
It’s more than just preference when it comes to selecting charter type. You should consider group size to make sure everyone onboard is comfortable. This way, you can make the right decision without compromising on comfort or convenience.
A yacht charter offers two options: bareboat or crewed. Bareboat charters offer relaxation, independence and customization, while a crewed charter gives guests luxury and convenience.
Bareboat charters give freedom, but it’s important to remember that sailing experience and knowledge of navigation are needed. Crewed charters have skilled professionals who handle the voyage, so guests can just sit back and enjoy.
Uniquely, crewed charters have chefs who make meals tailored to individual tastes. From seafood to gourmet delights, the culinary experience is amazing.
My personal experience: On a crewed yacht charter, our captain surprised us with a sunset dinner on a secluded beach. The stars were out, and the chef made exquisite dishes. It was a moment of royalty and luxury. Unforgettable!
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between yacht charter bareboat and crewed?
When you opt for a bareboat charter, you are in charge of operating and navigating the yacht yourself. In contrast, a crewed charter includes a professional crew that takes care of all the yacht’s operations and services.
2. Can I charter a yacht even if I don’t have sailing experience?
Yes, you can still charter a yacht even if you don’t have sailing experience. Most charter companies offer options for hiring a skipper who can handle the yacht for you during your trip.
3. What are the advantages of a bareboat charter?
A bareboat charter allows you to have complete freedom and privacy during your trip. You can explore various destinations at your own pace and create a personalized itinerary.
4. What are the advantages of a crewed charter?
A crewed charter provides a luxurious and hassle-free experience. The professional crew takes care of all the responsibilities, including navigation, cooking, cleaning, and even arranging activities or events during the trip.
5. How much does it cost to charter a yacht?
The cost of chartering a yacht varies depending on factors such as the yacht size, destination, time of the year, and additional services requested. It is advisable to contact charter companies for accurate pricing details.
6. Do I need to bring my own food and drinks on a charter?
For bareboat charters, you generally need to provide your own food and drinks. However, some charter companies offer provisioning services to stock the yacht with necessary supplies. In crewed charters, the crew usually takes care of meals and drinks.

Summer is here at last! Words, Pauses, Noises suggests that the best way to spend a lazy summer afternoon is with a good book. One of our students, Jasmine, asked Kingston University’s writer-in-residence Jonathan Barnes for his recommendations on books to read this summer. He gave us a great list of some of his favourites as well as those he’ll be reading over the holidays. So, pull out those deck chairs, grab a cool drink, and get outside for some sunshine with a good book!
Jonathan Barnes’ Summer Reading Recommendations
I have been reading a lot for review lately so it will be an enjoyable break over the summer to experience some fiction purely for pleasure. However, books that I’ve read and written about lately which I would also recommend include Julian “no relation” Barnes’ memoir Levels of Life – heart-breaking in its candour; unflinching in its depiction of an almost unbearable grief – and Patrick McGrath’s deft, stylish Constance. McGrath is one of our most underrated novelists – I’ve been a fan ever since the early works: his short story collection, Blood and Water, his first novel, The Grotesque – and his latest, about a brittle, troubled young woman in 1960s Manhattan, is as elegant and subtly potent as I’d expected. I’ve also written a short piece on the new edition of J B Priestley’s 1927 classic, Benighted (filmed twice as The Old Dark House) which remains, almost a century after it was written, chillingly effective. His description of some primal evil which might lie behind even the most tawdry of domestic horrors is unforgettable: “his mind… found an opposing presence, an enemy… a density of evil, something gigantic, ancient but enduring… it was working everywhere, in the mirk of rain outside, here in the rotting corners, and without end, in the black between the stars”.
When going away for the summer, my suitcase often strains towards the upper limit of the baggage allowance due to the volume of books that I’ve crammed into it. This year, I’ll be bringing (for review) the late Iain Banks’ last novel, The Quarry. For research purposes I’ll have with me Arthur Conan Doyle’s Tales of Unease and that strange, ghost-written nineteenth-century text Awful Disclosures, composed, supposedly, by the wronged nun “Maria Monk”. For sheer fun I’ll be taking two books that I’ve never read but which have been on my list for a while: Julian Maclaren-Ross’ novel Of Love and Hunger and F Scott Fitzgerald’s Collected Short Stories. I’ll also have with me – and for this, I make no apology whatever – Stephen King’s splendid-looking new novella, Joyland.
Next Sunday, join Words, Pauses, Noises for more original content to help make summer a little bit sunnier.

Financial reform enters a crucial phase on Thursday as House and Senate negotiators begin public debate on the regulation of derivatives, the complex instruments at the heart of the financial crisis.
This is arguably the most important issue for big banks because real reform will crimp their huge profits from derivatives deal-making. It also is arguably the most important one for the public. The largely unregulated, multitrillion-dollar market in derivatives fed the bubble, intensified the bust and led to the bailouts. Unreformed, it will do so again.
The final bill must ensure that derivatives are traded on transparent exchanges and processed through third-party clearinghouses to guarantee payment in case of default. That would end the opacity that masks the size and risk of derivatives deals, like those that caused the bailout of the American International Group. But to be effective, the new rules must be broadly applied.
Exceptions to the rules in the Senate bill are narrowly drawn. Painstakingly negotiated and uniquely customized contracts would not need to be publicly traded, nor would derivatives deals that commercial businesses use to hedge legitimate risks. Any attempt by negotiators to expand the exceptions would be moving in a dangerously wrong direction.
Lawmakers also have to keep the definition of an “exchange” narrow. A transparent exchange is a trading facility in which many participants make bids and offers and everyone can see what prices were offered and paid. Proposed language from the House for the final bill would allow telephone deals to qualify as a proper trade, which is seriously wrongheaded.
In addition to trading through clearinghouses and exchanges, the bill must establish legal tools to stop or undo deals that have not been properly cleared or traded. Banks have been pushing hard to handcuff regulators, demanding that only egregious and intentional violations be deemed out of bounds. The new rules will be meaningless unless regulators can quickly and efficiently enforce them.Continue reading the main story
Lawmakers also must resist banks that want federal financial backing for derivatives clearinghouses, like access to emergency loans from the Federal Reserve. That would be, in effect, license to take the same outsize risks that precipitated the crisis and the bailouts.
Finally, lawmakers must find a way to separate banks’ derivatives dealing from federally insured deposits. Ideally, that would involve spinning off derivatives businesses into separate entities. A lite version of reform would involve setting up a separate derivatives affiliate within the bank holding company. What is crucial is that derivatives operations are supported by adequate capital of their own, and that there are no loopholes allowing federally backed banks to keep dealing in derivatives.
If done well, reform will create transparent and robustly regulated derivatives markets that can fail without taxpayers bearing the losses. Sadly, that is a big if.Continue reading the main story

Joan Walden's last-minute checklist for the "little" party that she helped plan included more than just checking to make sure the champagne was chilled. The ambitious West Hartford event planner was responsible for handling logistics for the Miracles Ball, St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center's annual fall gala, which drew some 1,400 guests to the University of Hartford Sports Center Saturday night.
"This is really a major event," she said. "It's astounding how many people-hours go into an event of this magnitude."
So did she have fun or was it all work?
"I just get to get dressed up and put on eye makeup," she quipped.
Fortunately, others were able to enjoy themselves, notably Dr. Edward Johnson, senior vice president of communications for the hospital, who has attended all 11 Miracles Balls and started planning for this year's event back in February.
"Once everybody gets here I get to have fun," he said. "How can you not have a good time with this many people here?"
The black-tie event is expected to raise about $750,000 for St. Francis Care's Comprehensive Breast Health Services, including expanded access to breast cancer prevention and early detection programs, as well as state-of-the-art treatments, patient education and research.
The gala featured dinner, dancing and a silent art auction coordinated by West Hartford's Paesaggio Gallery. The event also marked the start of St. Francis' observance of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Judges, Categories, and Requirements: Understanding How American Bully Dogs are Scored at the Houston Show
The American Bully breed has been gaining popularity over the years, and it’s not hard to see why. With their impressive size, muscular build, and friendly disposition, these dogs make for excellent pet companions. But did you know that the American Bully breed also has its own show circuit? That’s right! Just like horses and other animals, American Bullies can be entered into shows – with some specific criteria.
One of the biggest events for American Bully enthusiasts is the Houston Show. This annual event brings together thousands of passionate dog owners to showcase their beloved pets to a panel of judges. But how exactly are American Bully dogs scored at these shows?
The judging process for the Houston Show is based on a set of stringent requirements that evaluate every aspect of each dog’s appearance, temperament, and behavior. Judges will evaluate each dog against other entries in several categories that include height, weight, muscle tone, bone structure/skeletal balance, head shape and proportionality as well as overall physical health.
In addition to physical attributes judges also consider temperament which includes important areas such as obedience or willingness to obey commands which contributes hugely towards the animal’s score.
All entries in each category will be observed closely by several judges who will provide scores according to predetermined standards and guidelines. Points are awarded based on a range of factors including proper proportions in size (length vs height), muscle structure (shape & density), angulations (balanced proportional placement/patterns), facial structure symmetry & skull type (proportional features extending from within anatomical correct placements).
It’s worth mentioning however that no one category holds more value than another but rather all categories work together towards an overall final score which determines placement/awards.
Overall winners are chosen based on cumulative scores received throughout various categories. A “best in show” prize is typically awarded to the top-scoring entry overall; this winner becomes known as “Best In Show”. Each category also has its own winners, according to their specific standards.
In conclusion, participating in a show is both fun and exciting for American Bully enthusiasts! With strict requirements and guidelines ensure that judges are impartial and objective with each competitor, the shows work hard to encourage breeders to produce only exceptional American Bullies. So if you are planning on entering your beloved pet into a show, make sure that they are groomed, trained, and ready to face the panel of judges who will be looking for traits such as structure & symmetry in your dog weighing up against established benchmarks!

Experiencing stress can lead to many different short-term impacts on brain function, including confused thinking, poor judgement and forgetting even the most routine tasks or familiar objects. But research has shown stress also has long-term impacts on brain function as we age, including interference with cognition, attention and memory.
Stress also is associated with inflammation, which can contribute to cardiovascular issues and impact heart health, which is why it’s important for people to find ways to reduce stress and keep blood pressure down. But studies over the past decade have shown that the impact of stress on cognitive function is just as dramatic, especially with memory function.
“It’s not uncommon to feel disorganized and forgetful when you’re under a lot of stress,” Harvard Health wrote about stress and cognition. “But over the long term, stress may actually change your brain in ways that affect your memory.”
They report it may also increase the risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease.
The Short-Term Cognitive Impact of Stress
A recent study published in Biomedicine reviewed past research that shows psychological stress can impact cognitive function in the short-term. Almost everyone has experienced this at some point. Feeling stressed can lead to symptoms such as:
- Worrying constantly
- Racing thoughts
- Feeling disorganized
- Difficulty focusing
- Poor judgment
- Always seeing the negative side
Researchers theorize that part of the issue in the short-term is that energy gets redirected in the brain. Energy normally used to power parts of the brain used for memory and executive function gets routed instead to parts of the brain that react to stress, such as the amygdala, which is the emotional center of the brain.
Speaking on the issue with Harvard Health, Dr. Kerry Ressler, chief scientific officer at McLean Hospital and professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School, said: “The basic idea is that the brain is shunting its resources because it’s in survival mode, not memory mode.”
The Long-Term Cognitive Impact of Stress
While many people are aware of the short-term impacts of stress through experience, fewer know how stress can impact the brain in the long-term.
A study published in the journal Neurology that involved 2,231 men and women with an average age of 48 found that those with higher levels of the stress hormone cortisol also had more incidents of memory impairment and smaller brain volumes. The association proved stronger in women than men.
In a review of research on the long-term impact of stress on cognition, a paper published in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience reported that chronic stress led to decision-making deficits in mice. Other studies involving both mice and humans have associated stress with reducing spatial and sequence learning, discrimination of spatial positions and learning of associative sequences.
Overall, the research indicates that a person under stress has a brain that will build up areas designed to deal with threats while shortchanging areas of the brain needed for more complex tasks. For some, these changes can be reversed. For others, they cannot, and it can lead to severe cognitive consequences down the road.
Getting Stress Under Control
For those who feel themselves under chronic stress, there are ways to get it under control. In addition to regular exercise, restful sleep and healthy diet, these other tips can reduce stress.
- Establish healthy routines. Good routines can make the stress that comes from chaos less of a risk, and make you more resilient during times of great stress.
- Organize your life. Managing your work by creating a doable list of daily tasks rather than allowing yourself to get overwhelmed
- Accept stress. Don’t aim for a stress-free life, it’s not possible. But do aim to have better, healthier responses to stress
- Seek counseling. If you find yourself unable to get stress under control, seeking help from counseling professionals
Research shows chronic stress can impact cognitive function. But becoming proactive and taking steps to reduce stress can help you get better control of your emotions and possibly lower your risk of accelerating age-related cognitive decline.

Biometrics and behaviour-based authentication are on the rise
Knowledge-based identification may be the preferred way to authenticate online, but for how long, as biometrics and behaviour methods gain favour?
- A recent online survey from Callsign may suggest our relationships with passwords and other knowledge-based ways to identify ourselves online are shifting, as less than half of those polled in both the United Kingdom (45%) and United States (44%) prefer using passwords and memorable information to access an online account
- Biometrics identification is a close second, with 32% of adults in the UK and 27% in the US preferring this method
- Behavioural identification, where a person’s typing rhythm, screen swipes or mouse movement is used, is a relatively nascent form of digital identification, yet US respondents are twice as likely to prefer this method over their UK counterparts – 6% and 3%, respectively
LONDON, August 28, 2018 – Passwords can be the bane of frustration for anyone creating or accessing accounts online. And a recent online survey conducted by Callsign, a London-based company with the mission to seamlessly validate an individual’s identification for every web, mobile and physical interaction, suggests our relationship with passwords to identify ourselves online is shifting.
It’s shocking to consider single-factor authentication is even in use today, given that poor password habits and stronger computing power has led to an increase in hacking-related breaches involving either stolen or weak passwords. Therefore, it’s reassuring that the Callsign survey showed a knowledge-based approach, such as passwords, for accessing online accounts is favoured by less than half of UK and US respondents (45% on both sides of the Atlantic).
Over the last few years, increased availability of biometric tools on laptops, tablets and smartphones has given consumers a taste for biometric identification, and in the survey 30% noted a preference for sharing and storing biometric information (32% in the UK and 27% in the US) for identification when accessing an online account or making a purchase. Still, it is clear there is still a long way to go in shifting consumer attitudes away from solely relying on passwords. Biometric information as well as behavioural biometric data – such as the way a user swipes their screen or their unique keystroke pattern when entering their password – need to become the norm, so companies can more intelligently identify anomalies and apply additional layers of security.
With employees frequently cited as the weakest link in corporate cybersecurity enforcement, it is no surprise that traditional passwords are preferred at work, where people’s reluctance to embrace more innovative methods of identification over a presumed ease of access is commonplace. Knowledge-based identification was the most favoured by 56% of workers (58% in the UK and 51% in the US), while biometric methods were preferred by a mere 15% of workers.
“The study suggests we’re at a tipping point where our reliance on simple passwords is on a steady downward turn. Although two-factor and multi-factor authentication, along with biometrics, are an improvement, they are still flawed,” said Callsign CEO Zia Hayat. “Ultimately, we understand the privacy of users is paramount. Companies need to offer choice and control when it comes to the data that is collected and the identification methods used – another reason multi-factor identification is so limited.”
“However, there is a new realm of behavioral identification that is truly revolutionising and streamlining identification and improving customer experiences, all whilst minimising fraud. Here at Callsign, we’re creating a much more positive experience with greater protection and better privacy for the consumer or worker” Hayat concluded.
Other insights from this survey include:
Despite the high preference for knowledge-based identifiers at work (58% in the UK and 51% in the US), they are less favourable for personal use, where 46% noted they were preferred when logging in to check an account balance and 44% chose it for making a purchase or a balance transfer
The UK tends to be more receptive to biometrics compared to the US, with 32% to 27%, respectively, noting they’d prefer it overall
In the US, age is a significant factor as Baby Boomers (55+) are more receptive to passwords (46%) and biometric identifiers (31%) than younger respondents (aged 18-24), with 39% preferring passwords and 26% preferring biometric identifiers. Younger respondents (those 18 to 24) were more receptive to behavioural identifiers (12%) compared to those aged 55+ (4%)
Callsign commissioned YouGov Plc to conduct the survey. All figures, unless otherwise stated, are from YouGov Plc. Total sample size was 2,131 adults in the UK and 1,160 adults in the US. Fieldwork was undertaken in August 2018. The survey was carried out online. The figures have been weighted and are representative of all UK and US adults (aged 18+).

Like most RWB builds, the new car is based on a late-model air-cooled 911. In this case, the base car is a 964 Carrera 4. This car has been heavily backdated, including a long-hood conversion, early 911 front fenders, and a pre-'73 rear valence. Rather than an aggressive multi-tiered GT2-style spoiler, a simple ducktail occupies the rear deck lid. The front bumper is similar to a '73 Carrera RS 2.7, albeit with a deeper chin spoiler. The car even uses a beautiful low-back early 911-style seats with separate headrests.
A 3.8L powerplant for this Porsche, which includes Mahle drop-in 3.8 pistons and cylinders, Carrillo 3.8RSR connecting rods, FVD headers, Gt3 muffler and tuning by Steve Wong.

The dark bronze finish of the wheels contrasts the paintwork beautifully. A $10k sound system includes Porsche Classic radio with Bluetooth, touch screen, Alpine subs and more.
With an exhilarating exhaust note, an interior color choice that brings a sense of luxury and retro race styling, and the iconic RWB flares, this fourth Rauh Welt creation in Miami comes together to create a very special one.

The pie chart shows the approach to finance for the 12 apartments and 8 houses in the development. The relative build cost has been split between the different units according to size. The actual construction cost of the homes was £1081 per square metre. Land cost was £204,000. After initial cooperative members raised a minimum of 10% deposit for each of the individually allocated equity shares, the resulting mortgage to Lilac was £1.5 Million.
The environmental credentials of the scheme are evident in many different aspects, ranging from the innovative construction method and the use of ‘Modcell’ pre-fabricated straw bale insulated panels, an integrated sustainable urban drainage system, shared allotments and pocket park, to the incorporation of renewal energy technologies. Indeed, the environmental performance of the building fabric ensures low energy and low running costs, with the availability of the Feed in Tariff (FiT) for the photovoltaic panels covering the energy running cots of the common house. It is also demonstrable that the approach to collaborative design and collective learning in LILAC, including the performance specification and the relationship with actual rather than speculative lifestyles; has benefits in actual performance and low carbon low energy usage.
