If LearnZillion learns that a student of any age has created a primary account, that account will be deleted. Further, if LearnZillion learns that we have inadvertently collected personal information from a student of any age with the appropriate consent, we will take the necessary steps to delete it.
We will ask you to create a LearnZillion account to access certain portions of our site. When you create an account, we will ask for your consent to collect certain types of personal information. Kindly note that any consent will be entirely voluntary. However, if you do not grant the requested consent to the processing of your personal information, the use of the LearnZillion website may not be possible.
When the primary account belongs to a school district, student accounts will be populated in coordination with that district. Students will then be provided login information in a manner specific to that district and in accordance with district policy, which may in some cases be through a district-wide "single sign-on" or by communicating an initial login and password to the student.
When the primary account belongs to a teacher or a parent, students are added using a name, nickname or pseudonym by the teacher or parent. LearnZillion then generates enrollment codes that students can use to register student accounts.
What Information Does LearnZillion Collect About Students and Teachers?
The information that we collect from logged-in users includes information that you voluntarily provide to us when you sign up for an account and information that is automatically collected when you are logged into the LearnZillion platform. The information collected depends on whether you are a teacher, school, parent or student.
We maintain records for each student account of assignments that have been given (and results that have been submitted) and records of any online assessments taken by the students.
When the primary account belongs to a teacher or a parent, we collect the student name information provided by the teacher or a parent, and then collect a username and password when the student registers.

Ganga synonymous with threshold of afterlife, says new book
February 10, 2019	14 Views
New Delhi, Feb 10 As millions of devotees continue to gather in the Kumbh nagri to take a holy dip at the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and the mythical Saraswati rivers, a timely book throws light on the "divine purity" of the Ganga, with its findings suggesting that the pious river has been synonymous with the "threshold of the afterlife" since time immemorial.
Titled "Ganga: The Many Pasts of a River", the 450-page seminal account has been authored by Sudipta Sen, who is a professor of history at the University of California-Davis.
Though the author touches on, and explores in detail, a range of issues surrounding the Ganga, including the river as "a celestial being" in itself, or a "mother goddess" among Hindus, or a "water body with miraculous healing powers", it is the insight that he provides on the Ganga being synonymous with the threshold of the afterlife that stands out.
Sen draws on the accounts of seventh-century Chinese traveller Xuanzang, who visited Prayag when it was surrounded by forests full of wild elephants.
"Here he saw hundreds of men fasting for days before immersing themselves in the river for a last ritual bath before committing suicide by drowning," he notes before explaining that Xuanzang found that "the confluence was enchanted" as monkeys and deer from the nearby hills also came "to die in large numbers for salvation".
Notably, the holy dip at the Kumbh, according to the legends, is also said to open the doors to heaven. It is thus customary that after taking the holy dip at Kumbh, devotees offer prayers to the Sun god, seeking forgiveness for their sins and hoping to start afresh after the ritual.
Sen, who has previously authored "Distant Sovereignty: National Imperialism and the Origins of British India" and "Empire of Free Trade: The East India Company and the Making of the Colonial Marketplace", finds it remarkable how Ganga has been a comfort for the dying.
"In the fifteenth century it was common practice for penitent Hindus from all over India to end their lives at Prayag by jumping from a great banyan tree either into a well or directly into the Ganga — a custom that was finally ended by the Mughal emperor Akbar," says Sen.
It is in this context that the author maintains that "such unflinching conviction in the face of death" unveils how a river can become synonymous with the threshold of the afterlife. He describes the river as "integral to the continuum between the worlds of the living and the dead".
The book, published by Penguin Random House India, has been endorsed by several leading academics as well as authors, including Assa Doron from Australian National University and Faisal Devji from the University of Oxford.

USS C-5 (SS-16) was one of five C-class submarines built for the United States Navy in the first decade of the 20th century.

Description
The C-class submarines were enlarged versions of the preceding B class, the first American submarines with two propeller shafts. They had a length of  overall, a beam of  and a mean draft of . They displaced  on the surface and  submerged. The C-class boats had a crew of 1 officer and 14 enlisted men. They had a diving depth of .

For surface running, they were powered by two  Craig gasoline engines, each driving one propeller shaft. When submerged each propeller was driven by a  electric motor. They could reach  on the surface and  underwater. On the surface, the boats had a range of  at  and  at  submerged.

The boats were armed with two 18 inch (450 mm) torpedo tubes in the bow. They carried two reloads, for a total of four torpedoes.

Construction and career
C-5 was laid down by Fore River Shipbuilding Company in Quincy, Massachusetts, under a subcontract from Electric Boat Company, as Snapper, making her the first ship of the United States Navy named for the snapper. Snapper was launched on 16 June 1908 sponsored by Ms. A. Nicoll, and commissioned on 2 February 1910 with Lieutenant Chester W. Nimitz in command. She was renamed C-5 on 17 November 1911 and given hull number "SS-16" in 1920.

Service history
Snapper fitted out at the Boston Navy Yard, then began three years of training and tests along the East Coast and in Chesapeake Bay. She ran experiments with radio, submarine signalling apparatus, different types of batteries, and other equipment, all of which has since become standard in submarines. She joined in Fleet maneuvers helping to develop submarine tactics in submerged attacks on combatant ships, and engaged in operations with airplanes in the infancy of naval aviation. Highlights of the period were the reviews of the Fleet by President of the United States William H. Taft and Secretary of the Navy George von L. Meyer in November 1911 and October 1912.

On 20 May 1913, C-5 and her sisters of the First Group, Submarine Flotilla, Atlantic Fleet, commanded by Lieutenant (junior grade) R. S. Edwards in C-3, departed Norfolk, Virginia, in tow of submarine tender  and collier , for Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. From her arrival on 29 May, C-5 exercised in Cuban waters – principally conducting torpedo drills – until 7 December 1913. On that date, C-5 and her sisters of the redesignated First Division – escorted by four surface ships – sailed for Cristobal in the Panama Canal Zone. Five days later the ships completed the  passage, at that time the longest cruise made by United States submarines under their own power.

C-5 operated in Panamanian waters, conducting exercises and harbor defense patrols as well as studying the suitability of various ports of Panama for submarine bases. C-5 was decommissioned at Coco Solo in the Panama Canal Zone on 23 December 1919, and sold on 13 April 1920.

Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz wrote of C-5:
Her Craig gasoline engines were built in Jersey City by James Craig, an extraordinarily wise and capable builder. Craig was a self-taught engineer who began as a draftsman in the Machinery Division of the New York Navy Yard and who started his "Machine and Engine Works" in Jersey City at a later date. C-5'''s engines were excellent as were also the Craig diesel engines he built for a subsequent submarine. These engines were designed and built by Craig and I have never forgotten his Foreword to the pamphlet of Operating Instructions which read briefly somewhat like this:

"No matter what the designer and the builder may have planned for these engines and no matter what the operator may try to do with them the Laws of Nature will prevail in the End''."
How True !!

Suspended from its black silk covered cord and held by its industrial socket, Chelsea's historic carbon filament lamp is encapsulated in a voluptuous glass form that echoes its classic shape. The honesty of its functional construction and the simplicity of its purpose affirm the authenticity of the Chelsea pendant.
Aligned in pairs along a slender bar, these glass rods—in pristine frosted white or ribbed seeded crystal—radiate LED illumination from both sides of their cylindrical centers. Complex in its repetitive cadence yet simple in its linear alignment, Crystal Rods bath bar brings bright illumination and decorative interest to its setting.
Less is definitely more when solid geometry defines functional utility with the elegance of minimal simplicity. Strong modern columns of powerful LED light command a sophisticated and solid presence.
Stiletto's ultra-sophisticated and extraordinarily precise solid acrylic is thrust through a minimally present aluminum channel.
In a striking lighting collage, the asymmetry of one edge that's squared and one that's rounded gives Edge the sensation of a glass form whose movement is captured by precisely edged chrome or nickel finish brackets. Edge brings unique modern design and ideal illumination to a contemporary bath.
Oceana's undulating shape makes a unique design statement on its own and is even more profound in greater numbers, where one wave has a natural connection to the next.

What Now? About to Start Medical Residency, Honduran TPS Holder Faces Uncertainty
05/24/2018 | NBC News
This week Carol's Montes walked on stage with her parents by her side at the University of California, Davis Medical School's graduation. The young woman with the unique first name had become "Doctor Montes." But she doesn't know whether she'll be able to continue her medical training to become a licensed physician. On the same day that Montes signed a contract to begin her medical residency at Contra Costa Medical Center in California, the Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status – TPS – for Hondurans, which is how Montes and her parents have been able to live and work in the United States. Suyapa Portillo, a professor at Pitzer College conducting research on Honduran migration, said returning to Honduras will be particularly dangerous for members of the LGBTQ community, which includes Montes. "What is happening in Honduras and a lot of Central American countries is extreme violence against the LGBTQ community."

Background: Previous research has shown that social norms have an influence on young adults' life course transitions. However, few studies have explicitly and directly tested the idea that perceived age norms affect the decision to leave the parental home.
Objective: I ask whether normative factors are correlated with the decision to leave the family nest in Italy, and whether this association depends on a system of perceived costs and benefits, parental approval of their children's decisions, and the quality of parent-child relationships.
Methods: Using the panel component of Family and Social Subjects data (2003 and 2007), logit and multinomial logit models were adopted to analyze the connection between perceived norms and behavior. The Karlson, Holm, and Breen (2012) decomposition method was used to test the relevance of confounding and mediating factors.
Results: The findings show that young adults who consider themselves as too young to leave the parental home are less likely to move out of the family nest in order to marry. The interaction between a 'stay' norm, the perceived benefits of leaving home, and parental approval significantly affects the transition to independence.
Contribution: In Italy, decision-making about leaving home and getting married is shaped by age norms concerning extended coresidence. Young adults tend to comply with age norms when they perceive that their decision implies benefits and/or a violation will lead to penalties. Perceived parental disapproval reduces the influence of normative factors on individual actual behaviors, which suggests that young adults adhere to norms that are supported by parents.

Le Mans 24 Hours forced to close its gates to fans!
Next month's Le Mans 24 Hours will be run behind closed gates, the ACO reversing its initial decision to allow a limited number of spectators in light of France's latest COVID-19 numbers.
The Automobile Club de l'Ouest was hoping to provide access to 50,000 fans on September 19/20 by channeling groups of 5000 individuals to ten special "fan villages" located around the track and separated from each other.
Gordon Murray unveils GMA T.50 ultimate dream car
However, after consulting with the local government of the Sarthe region recently, the ACO has been left with no other choice but to scrap its plan and close Le Mans to the public for the first time in its history.
"Over the past few weeks, we have looked at many ways in which we could hold our event in September with fans present, albeit in limited numbers," said ACO president Pierre Fillon.
"However, given the constraints involved in organising a festival-scale event over several days in the current situation, we have opted with the local government authorities to hold the race behind closed doors.
"There were still too many question-marks regarding health and safety.
"We know that our fans will be as disappointed as we are by this decision but, with public health in the balance, it really wasn't a difficult call to make."
Le Mans will promote its race through its digital platforms and offer fans an opportunity "to gain an exclusive insight of what goes on behind the scenes" at the classic endurance event.

"The Issue Is Borders": Is Transnational Europe Sailing On The TITANIC?
U.S. growth in the first quarter fell to 2.2 percent, a disappointment. But in Europe, that news would have caused general rejoicing.
For consider the gathering crisis on the old continent.
With negative growth now for six months, Britain has fallen back into recession. "I don't think we're anywhere near halfway through the eurozone crisis," said Prime Minister David Cameron this weekend.
Romania's government fell last week. The Czech government barely survived a vote of no confidence. In the capital cities of both countries, tens of thousands have angrily protested the new austerity.
The Dutch government also fell last week, when the Freedom Party of right-wing populist Geert Wilders abandoned the governing coalition.
Wilders refuses to support spending cuts and new taxes needed to meet the hard deficit target of 3 percent of gross domestic product set by the European Union for 2013.
The Rome government of Silvio Berlusconi is history. New Prime Minister Mario Monti says Italy cannot sustain the austerity being imposed upon her.
In Spain, unemployment has hit 24.4 percent. Half her young are jobless. "Spain is undergoing a crisis of enormous proportions," says Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo. He compares the EU to the Titanic.
French elections are Sunday. Most observers believe they will end the career of President Nicolas Sarkozy and install in the Élysée Palace a socialist, Francois Hollande, who has pledged to impose a 75 percent tax on incomes above 1 million euros.
With a week to go, the French campaign calls to mind the 1930s.
Sarkozy, says The New York Times, is focusing on "patriotism, protectionism, French values," attacking immigrants who do not assimilate.
"I do not want to let France be diluted by globalization," Sarkozy declared Sunday. "Europe has given in too much to free trade and deregulation. ... I do not want France to be isolated in the world, but I want frontiers respected. ... France expects a Europe that protects the European people."
The far-left candidate, Jean-Luc Melanchon, defeated in the first round, is charging Sarkozy with using the language of Pierre Laval and Marshal Philippe Petain, both convicted of collaborating with the Nazis.
"To be treated as a fascist by a communist is a compliment," says Sarkozy.
"In 2012, the issue is borders, and I will put them at the center of the debate," Sarkozy said Sunday in Toulouse, where an Islamist fanatic recently murdered four Jews, including three children, and three French soldiers.
"Without borders, there is no nation, there is no Republic, there is no civilization," he told 10,000 cheering supporters. "We are not superior to others, but we are different."
Sarkozy is on "a mad path," says Hollande. "The issue in France and in Europe is the fight against extremism."
Greek elections are also scheduled for Sunday, with the center-left Pasok Party and center-right New Democracy having lost half of their support since 2009.
Ireland votes May 31 on the eurozone fiscal pact that calls for austerity among Europe's most indebted nations. Polls are predicting a yes vote. But Sinn Fein's Gerry Adams has ridden a rising tide against the pact to make his party the second-most-popular in Ireland.
"The rise in political extremism in Europe," writes Financial Times columnist Wolfgang Munchau, "is in part the consequence of stubbornness and stupidity among centrist elites."
Where is Europe going?
Larry Summers is probably right, "Again Europe and the global economy approach the brink."
With the demonstrations, riots, and governments falling like dominoes, Europe's ruling elites are losing the confidence of the people and its ruling parties are bleeding support to the more militant left and right.
What does this portend for Europe?
Probably an easing up of austerity — of the tax hikes and budget cuts for payrolls, pensions and health care — demanded by Germany's Angela Merkel and her fiscally hawkish allies. And it probably means an effort to stimulate the dormant economies of Europe without sending buyers of Europe's bonds fleeing for the exits out of fear of inflation or default.
But the vision of One Europe that dates back to the 1950s and Jean Monnet seems to belong to yesterday.
Transnationalism, the idea of sacrificing the national interest for the greater good of Europe, is dying. Not one of the four leading French parties in the first round of voting was making the case for Europe.
Second, the idea of a multicultural Europe open to immigration from beyond its borders seems to be dead.
Third, the ideology of Occupy Wall Street has crossed the pond.
The senior Catholic cardinal in Britain is demanding that Cameron accept a "Robin Hood tax" on large financial transactions to make "banks and large financial institutions pay their fair share," with the tax money going to the poor.
The One Percenters are in the gun sights everywhere. Rarely was Yeats' couplet more apposite.
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world.

The only description of the piscivorous Camphruch is provided by Thevet, who places this unusual unicorn in the Maluku Islands. Paré copies Thevet's account but locates his "camphur" in Ethiopia, on the Isle of Molucca (!). Aldrovandi refers to the "camphurch".
The camphruch is amphibious, living on land and in water like a crocodile. It is as big as a doe and has a thick grayish mane around the neck. The single horn on its forehead is three and a half feet long, as thick as a man's arm at its thickest, and is movable like an Indian rooster's comb. The forelegs are cloven deer's hooves. The hindlegs are webbed like those of a goose. Camphruchs feed on fish and swim in both fresh and salt water.
Some believe that it is a species of unicorn, and that its horn neutralizes poisons. It is held in high regard in the islands, and the king of one island proudly bears the name of Camphruch – his courtiers have to make do with the names of lesser beasts, fish, and fruits.
Many of Thevet's accounts were second or third hand. It is entirely possible that the camphruch was born from a muddle of multiple descriptions – narwhal, fur seal, beaver, goose, and antelope may have contributed. A much later dictionary entry dispenses with all that and describes the "camphur" as a single-horned Arabian donkey.

Pokémon Duel out of nowhere!
26 January, 2017 26 January, 2017 Saphras
I can't speak for anyone else, but I for one had absolutely no idea that this was a thing, but a thing it is. At face value Pokémon Duel appears to be a game that is easy to learn and difficult to master, with some nonsense RNG thrown into the mix, of course. Having only played the tutorial and a few duels at the beginner's ranking I can hardly call myself an expert, but I'd like to believe that I can see where this game is more or less going.
As far as I know, Pokémon Duel is the company's first expedition into the gacha system of mobile games. The game itself features a board where you can place digital figures of Pokémon against your opponent's own figures, with the aim being to move one of your figures onto the opponent's side of the board. Each Pokémon has different offensive and defensive abilities and can evolve in battle to give you an advantage. Players are able to set up their ideal teams and items to hopefully enact a strategy that will help them win. However, it's possible for all of your plans to be completely derailed due to the random attack wheel that determines which figure wins in a fight.
If you've been looking for a game to sink some time into or something to multitask with and Pokémon is literally the only franchise you believe to be worthy of your time, then sure, give Pokémon Duel a go. It's fun enough. That being said, I can hardly guarantee that you'll honestly be missing out on the experience of a lifetime if you decide to give it a pass. Though unique, Pokémon Duel is really just another one of those mobile games that you either dedicate your life or money to or else you fall behind very quickly. If you're keen to give it a try, then download here for iOS and here for Android.
In terms of other Nintendo games coming to mobile devices, keep an eye on Fire Emblem Heroes coming out next week. You can check it out on the Google Play Store here and pre-register if you are so inclined.

Would anyone have an interest in a live chat feature, group style? I think it would be a cool thing to have and could talk to members in realtime when bored. Facebook is not cutting it I think some kind of Java chat applet or something like IRC would be cool.

Exactly, I imagine myself done with the day and go and grab a cold beer and talk to you guys. Also would be cool if the chatroom had tome kind of picture share feature.

If you post a link to a chatroom, I can pin your post to the top of the forum.
What would be the advantage of benefit of having a live chat window?
Wouldn't it slow the forum down?
I remember OrientExpat had one but it slowed the forum down or caused it to reload a lot.
Can you post those links again to the scripts you found about installing a live chat?
I'm going to turn this thread into a poll, if you don't mind, so we can have a vote.
Ok I've turned this thread into a poll. Please cast your vote above!
Ok I like this applet is nice and clean.
Which one of those is best? Which one would not slow down the page load time or cause the page to keep refreshing?
It uses AJAX which is solid technology. I don't like flash, which one of them uses and theres a monthly fee.
I'm really looking forward to a live chat feature, it's a separate thing then making posts. Since a few of us stay in contact via skype, facebook or email. I think this is a good solution to communication on the forum.
You never answered my question. What's the benefit or advantage of having a live chat box?
Forum members can connect easily within the forum. Instead right now I'm using facebook chat, skype and email and even whats app with all the members.
It will provide an easy place to go to when we just want to chat in realtime. The forum will remain the same for discussions, but maybe if i'm like bored at 5pm and feel like chatting with the members, I know I could find them on the chat.
I think this will also show were even more connected as a community and attract new members to the forum.
I see it as a nice feature for the community.
Ok I found some scripts for live chatrooms for the current version of the forum. I'll pick the best one and install it now and see how it works. Hopefully, it will just show a link where you can choose to open the chatroom if you click on it, that will not slow down the forum. I'll keep you all updated.

Baltimore, Mason sign extensions in the nation's capital
OTTAWA — The Ottawa REDBLACKS have signed American defensive back Sherrod Baltimore and American defensive lineman Danny Mason for 2021, the club announced on Monday. Both were slated to become free agents in February.
Baltimore has made the most of his opportunities since cracking the REDBLACKS lineup as a walk-on in 2017. In his three seasons in Ottawa, he has played 49 games and accumulated 91 tackles. He also recorded an interception in the 2018 Grey Cup game against Calgary. Before joining the REDBLACKS, Baltimore played four years with the University of Maine.
Mason, who played college ball for Texas A&M – Commerce, had 27 defensive tackles, eight tackles on special teams and four sacks for the REDBLACKS while appearing in 15 games in 2018. In two games in the 2019 season, he recorded six defensive tackles and one sack. Mason joined Ottawa in 2017 from Calgary.

Pillar 3 disclosures
Pillar 3 disclosures for Permira Credit Limited
The European Union's Capital Requirements Directives implement the Basel Capital Accords and provide for a regulatory capital framework across Europe for the financial services industry. Permira Credit Limited ("PCL") must comply with the requirements of the Capital Requirements Directive and the rules and regulations of the UK Financial Conduct Authority ("FCA").
The principles of the framework are set out in three "pillars":
Pillar 1 sets out the minimum capital requirements that PCL is required to meet;
Pillar 2 requires PCL, and the FCA, to take a view on whether additional capital should be held against certain risks not adequately covered by Pillar 1; and
Pillar 3 requires PCL to publish certain details of its risks, capital and risk assessment process.
This disclosure is made in accordance with PCL's Pillar 3 Disclosure policy which has been approved by the Board of PCL.
PCL's principal activities are the provision of management and advisory services to certain debt investment vehicles.
Scope & basis of disclosure
The disclosures in this section are made in respect of the UK Consolidated Group which includes PCL and its immediate parent, Permira Credit Holdings Limited ("PCHL"). PCL is a subsidiary of PCHL.
PCL is a BIPRU €50,000 Limited Licence firm that is authorised and regulated by the FCA. PCL is the only firm with a limited license in the UK Consolidation Group; PCHL is a financial holding company and not an operating company.
Disclosures are made on a fully consolidated basis.
PCL is permitted to omit one or more of the required disclosures if the Board of PCL believes that the information is immaterial, proprietary or confidential. Materiality is based on criteria that the omission or misstatement of material information could change or influence the assessment or decision of a user relying on that information for the purpose of making economic decisions. Proprietary information may include information on products or systems which, if it were shared, would undermine the company's competitive position. Information is regarded as confidential where there are obligations to customers or other counterparty relationships binding the company to confidentiality.
Where information is omitted for any of these reasons, this is stated in the relevant section of the disclosure, along with the reason for the disclosure.
Risk management & material risks
Responsibility for risk management rests with the Board of PCL.
The Board has delegated day-to-day responsibility for management of PCL, including risk management, to the CEO, but overall responsibility remains with the Board. The CEO interacts with the Board formally at PCL's board meetings, which occur regularly, and also informally on a regular basis.
The CEO is also a key part of PCL's Credit Committee, Investment Committees and Advisory Groups, which are responsible for the investment review process, including oversight of the preparation of proposal documents by PCL's credit analysts and are responsible for managing and advising on risks in both proposed investments and in current investments within the debt vehicles managed or advised by PCL.
The CEO is assisted by PCL's directors in respect of risks in investments within the debt vehicles. The PCL COO and the PCL Finance Director and Permira's Chief Risk Officer also assist the CEO with the identification and management of risks in PCL's business.
Reports of risks and risk management are provided on a regular basis from the CEO to the board of PCL and from the CEO to the Permira group, including through the Chief Risk Officer reporting process.
The Directors have established appropriate risk management policies and procedures proportionate to the nature and scale of PCL's business to help manage risk. The Directors have identified the following risks as being relevant to the business of PCL:
Reputational risk: Damage to PCL's reputation or the reputation of the broader Permira group or funds could have an adverse effect on the business of PCL. The Directors believe that the long-standing experience of the Permira group and the risk management techniques and procedures in place across the Permira group, including PCL, effectively manage, to the extent possible, reputational risks.
Business risk: PCL could be exposed to substantial risk arising from the difficulty of its key clients to operate in an environment where liquidity is not available. As a fee-based management and advisory business, PCL's key business risk is the loss of fee income. The Directors believe that business risk, and particularly that associated with the loss of fee income from its existing customers, is low due to the contractual nature of its relationships with those customers. The Directors have carried out various stress tests to look at business risk in more detail in order that business risk is mitigated as effectively as possible.
Credit risk: Although not a direct risk for PCL, the exposure of the underlying debt vehicles managed or advised by PCL to the credit risk of the investee companies may have implications for PCL's business. Credit risk manifests itself as a direct risk to PCL through business risk (see above).
Market risk: This may have indirect implications for PCL's business. PCL's clients are active in the debt markets and any weakness in those markets may have implications for PCL. PCL's direct exposure to market risk is limited to foreign exchange fluctuations and the Directors believe that they have appropriate measures in place to effectively mitigate market risk.
Operational risk: PCL shares some of the operational support of the Permira group (for example, IT and HR) and its operational capacity is interlinked with the ability of the Permira group to provide it with such support. The Directors feel confident that PCL can take significant comfort from its Business Continuity Plans (BCP) and IT back-up systems which provide a back-up of all files and provide PCL with alternative server and disaster recovery site capabilities.
Liquidity risk: Liquidity risk is the risk that a firm may not be able to meet its obligations as they fall due or cannot do so without excessive cost. PCL may be exposed to liquidity risk through the loss of fee income or the loss of access to cash deposits (1). Appropriate and regular monitoring by the PCL Board has been established to ensure the company meets FCA requirements as set-out in BIPRU 12.
Each of these risks is considered to be low and all of these risks are within PCL's risk appetite. In addition the Directors believe that they have appropriate procedures and controls in place to monitor and manage these risks.
PCL is the only subsidiary of PCHL. PCL and PCHL together form the UK Consolidated Group for the basis of reporting to the FCA.
PCL is a limited licence BIPRU firm and as such it is required to maintain Pillar 1 capital equal to the greater of:
the base capital requirement of €50,000, or
the sum of its market and credit risk requirements, or
its fixed overheads requirement.
PCL uses the standardised approach to calculating credit and market risk and the fixed overheads requirement has been calculated in accordance with the rules as set out in GENPRU 2.1.53. Currently, the fixed overheads requirement exceeds both the sum of PCL's market and credit risk requirements and PCL's base capital requirement. PCL's Pillar 1 requirement is therefore its fixed overhead requirement.
The available capital resources for both the UK Consolidated Group and for PCL on a stand-alone basis are set out in the table below and relate to the financial position as at 31 December 2020. These disclosures are updated annually and are not subject to audit. The available liquid capital resources, net of deductions, exceed the Fixed Overhead Requirement.
All figures in £'000

Additional capital required for Pillar II (500) (500)
There are no known current or foreseen practical or legal impediments to the prompt transfer of capital resources or repayments of liabilities between PCHL and PCL.
Compliance with rules in BIPRU and Pillar 2 rule requirements
Our overall approach to assessing the adequacy of our internal capital is set out in PCL's Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process ("ICAAP"). PCL's ICAAP is an ongoing process involving both senior management and the Board of PCL. The stress case scenarios that are included in the ICAAP are developed by senior management and challenged and approved by the Board.
The ICAAP document is regularly reviewed by senior management and the Board and approved by the Board. The ICAAP involves the consideration of risks to PCL's capital combined with stress testing using scenario analysis. PCL assesses the impact caused by the various potential risks by modelling the changes in its income and expenditure over a 3-5 year time period. PCL's risk assessment, through the ICAAP process, has demonstrated that the current available liquid capital resources exceed the relevant regulatory capital requirements, even under the stress case scenarios, and are sufficient to carry out the firm's strategy and business plan.
(1) PCL considers the risk of not receiving these income flows to be low and therefore the liquidity risk as a result of losing these fees to be low.

A question hard to answer for myself. What I know for sure is that I'm a creator! I feel pleasure in creating things and improving my work all the time. As a kid I early started expressing myself through music and art and later, as a nearly grown up, I set my focus in three main scopes:
– Traditional Arts
But I kept being a nearly grown up, because that's more fun.
After spending four years in the Bischöfliches Gymnasium I was ready to do the acceptance test for interior and furniture design at HTL Ortwein Graz, started my own business as a graphicdesigner in 2007 and did my Matura (graduation) in 2009 having the core themes in interior design, architecture as well as woodworking and furniture. I did my community Service with handicapped people, worked as a graphic designer and finally started studying architecture in 2011 at the Technical University in Graz. Beside having two side-jobs and four bands I graduaded as a Bachelor of Science in 2016 and kept going with the masterstudies until this day mostly doing master projects at the Institute of Architecture and Media.
2. Music
I started playing the piano as a little kid. I was talented, but it was boring as hell. That changed when I got my first electric guitar at the age of 14. So I started off with playing classical pieces, the beatles, nirvana on guitar until the music got heavier. With 16 years we founded our first death metal band called "Delirium" which later turned into "Aphotic Excess" releasing an EP in 2011 called "Demon of Life". Being into Black Metal since the very beginning of enjoying heavier music I also started writing music for my very own project in 2011 and entered studio to record my first EP "Rückzug in die Innerlichkeit" in 2012.
"Ellende" was born. 6 years, 4 releases, 3 label deals and many concerts all over europe later Ellende celebrates its fifth release and third full length in 2019 through AOP Records germany. A whole discography of L.G. can be found under "Music" on this website, the discography and biography of Ellende on german Wikipedia. The bands website is here: Ellende.at
3. Traditional Arts
Somewhere read on the internet I try to paraphrase with my words:
"The modern avantgarde creates Art that is in the sense of old masters. In a time in that art critiques are out of control and consumers can't distinguish art from a trash bin anymore the one who achieved skill to paint and mastered old techniques is the real rebell."

America's VetDogs Hosts Bipartisan Event for Funding of Veteran Service Dog Programs
Members of the House of Representatives and Senate, Former President George H.W. Bush's Service Dog Sully, U.S. Military Veterans and VetDogs Graduates Will Be Onsite with Their Service Dogs
America's VetDogs will be hosting a congressional breakfast on Thursday, September 12, 2019, from 8:00 am to 10:30 a.m. at the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, to acknowledge the bipartisan support for the continued increased funding for service dog programs for disabled veterans, and to continue to bring awareness to assistant dogs and their ability to change lives.
"America's VetDogs has been working tirelessly with Congress to increase federal funding for service dog groups across the nation. The continued Congressional support of the bipartisan measure for increased funding of service dog programs is a step forward, however, we need to continue to bring awareness and funding to service dog programs so that more of these special dogs can be provided to veterans who have served our country." – John Miller, President and Chief Executive Officer, America's VetDogs
The event will be emceed by Senior Writer of the Washington Examiner, Jamie McIntyre and will feature first hand testimonies from VetDogs graduates Navy Corpsman HM3 (Ret) U.S. Navy and Specialist Tyler McGibbon (Ret) U.S. Army about their service dogs. Notable attendees also include Senator Martha McSally [R-AZ], Rep. John Carter [TX-31], Rep. Sanford Bishop [GA-02], Rep Lee Zeldin [R, NY-1], Rep. Marcy Kaptur [D-OH], Rep.

Bush, former President George H.W. Bush's service dog and his trainer Valerie Cramer.
America's VetDogs is not-for-profit organization that serves the needs of disabled veterans from all eras who have honorably served our country at no cost. It costs over $50,000 to breed, raise, train, and place one assistance dog; however, there is never a charge to the veteran. All of our funding comes from the generous contributions of individuals, corporations, foundations, businesses, and service and fraternal clubs.

Nicholas Montgomery fell in love with a bewitching woman only months before his sworn obligation to marry another. His beloved' s fury cast a spell that lasted hundreds of years.
You will never love another like you love me. You will never know a moment' s peace for what you have done. Until you love me enough to forsake everything—your honor, your pride, your own soul—we cannot be together.
Publisher' s Note: Previously released in the Hot Spells anthology.
When I saw this book come up for review I found myself jumping for joy. Shiloh Walker is within the top 5 of my favorite authors. Her stories are creative and draw you in from the beginning. Her characters are well developed and I find myself wanting to learn all about them.
The first couple of chapters of this story go into detail of how Nicholas and Aislinn meet and fall in love. The chemistry between the two is powerful. I really enjoyed getting to know both of them. The first love scene is a little awkward in the way it came about but was well written.
The second part of the book starts off interesting but somehow things tend to get a little bit out there for me. Overall, I enjoyed this story. As with all of Shiloh Walker' s stories you will be drawn in from page one. She has a unique writing style that is truly her own and I love getting lost within the world of her characters. I hope you' ll give Under Your Spell a try.

Q: How to add subnets to Windows Firewall "local subnets"? On Windows Firewall under an individual rule the scope tab allows you to define which ips are subject to the rule. One of the built in options is "Local subnet".
How can you add an additional subnet to this for windows to understand it is a trusted network segment?

My question directly pertains to what windows (or domain) settings can be applied to add subnets directly to that predefined group "local subnet"

A: Local subnets is a special address group defined exclusively by the subnets of the NICs attached to the computer. You can't specify what goes in the group manually.

A: I think you can do, for example, 192.168.0.0/16 to block or allow any addresses originating from 192.168.x.x subnet.

Bulldogs move into first place in SEC West
Published 5:46 pm Monday, April 15, 2019
Even at No. 3 in the country, there's little margin for error in the congested Southeastern Conference standings. That's what made Mississippi State's win Sunday over last-place Alabama much more than just an afterthought.
The Bulldogs finished off a dominant three-game sweep of the Crimson Tide with a 13-3 rout at Dudy Noble Field. Getting the sweep pushed Mississippi State (31-6, 10-5 SEC) ahead of five other teams that are right on its heels in the SEC West at the halfway point of the conference season.
"The difference in sweeping or going 2-1 is a two-game (swing), and for us, we need to make up some ground so it was big for us this weekend and as we move forward," Mississippi State coach Chris Lemonis said.
Six of the seven teams in the SEC West are within two games of the lead. Mississippi State is alone in first place, though, at least for the moment.
The Bulldogs will play Arkansas (26-10, 9-6) next weekend and SEC East leader Georgia (29-8, 10-5) the next two weekends.
That meant taking care of business against Alabama, one of the few truly struggling teams in the league, was essential and the Bulldogs did just that.
They outscored Alabama 28-4 and never trailed at any point in the series. Justin Foscue's two-out, two-run bloop double down the right field line in the bottom of the first inning got the Bulldogs going on Sunday, and they led 7-0 before Johnny Hawk got Alabama on the board with a solo home run in the fifth inning.
Mississippi State had 13 hits on Sunday, seven of which went for extra bases. Tanner Allen was 4-for-6 with three doubles and three runs scored, and Marshall Gilbert hit a solo home run.
"That is the game plan every day: be on the fastballs and see the off-speed up. Work gap-to-gap," Allen said after Sunday's win. "We had a great plan against that guy today and it showed. I think we had six runs in the first two innings off of him. He had a good arm. Ninety-four (miles per hour) fastball. He had a good curveball, but we were able to put good at-bats together and manufacture runs. That was the difference of the game."
Thirteen of Mississippi State's 36 hits in the series were for extra bases. It hit five home runs, including three in a 9-1 win on Saturday.
Coupled with some strong pitching, it made for a fun time on Super Bulldog Weekend in Starkville.
Ethan Small started the series by striking out a career-high 15 batters in six innings in a 6-0 win on Friday. Peyton Plumleee threw five shutout innings in the 9-1 win on Saturday.
Finally, on Sunday, freshman J.T. Ginn allowed four hits and had four strikeouts in four innings before giving way to the bullpen. After reliever Cole Gordon gave up three runs in 2 2/3 innings, Riley Self and Colby White cleaned things up with 2 1/3 scoreless innings on the back end.
Alabama (23-14, 4-11) had 11 hits in Sunday's finale, but only 10 total in the first two games.
"It feels good. I think we played really good baseball this weekend and we looked really good in all aspects of the game," Ginn said. "It was good to go out there and get a good, dominant win right there."

It's hard to imagine a more idyllic spot for summer home than the 1930's-era mansion in Old Saybrook's Fenwick area that used to belong to Katharine Hepburn. This beautiful home where the legendary actress summered, swam, and finally lived out her remaining years, has been completely renovated by the current owners and is again for sale.
On 3.45 acres and with more than 8,000 square feet, this is more than just a home. It's a piece of cinematic history, a place where icons like Howard Hughes and Spencer Tracey regularly visited. And, it can be yours for a cool $30,000,000.
After Hepburn's death, the 6 bedroom, 8 bath home was extensively renovated by its new owners. The floor plan was opened up and smaller windows replaced with larger ones to take full advantage of the stunning Long Island Sound views on one side of the home and the lovely pond views on the other. Other amenities include a private dock, deeded water lots, a potting room, and a luxurious cook's kitchen.
If you are looking for luxury and history all wrapped up in one stunning package, this Fenwick mansion certainly has it all!


For the fictional world, see Pylea.
Pylaia (Greek: Πυλαία) is a former municipality in the Thessaloniki Prefecture of Greece. In the 2011 local government reform, Thessaloniki Prefecture became the regional unit of Thessaloniki (without boundary changes), and Pylaia became a part of the new municipality of Pylaia-Chortiatis. Pylaia continues under its old boundaries as a municipal unit within Pylaia-Chortiatis.
Pylaia covers 24.379 km2 with 4.5 km of coastline extending along the shores of the Thermaic Gulf and had a population of 34,625 at the 2011 census. Pylaia is relatively sparsely populated for a municipal unit within the Thessaloniki Urban Area.
The first reference to Pylaia is found in the historian Thucydides, in 319 BC, under the name Strepsa. It was later known as Kapoutzida, from the Turkish word kapıcı ("gatekeeper"), deriving from the guards watching over the city walls of Byzantine Thessaloniki. The current name came into general use in 1927, and is derived from the word Pyle (πύλη), meaning gateway and referring to the Eastern Entrance of the city.


Entomologist Justin O. Schmidt is on a mission. Some say it's a brave exploration, others shake their heads in disbelief. His goal? To compare the impacts of stinging insects on humans, mainly using himself as the gauge.
In The Sting of the Wild, the colorful Dr. Schmidt takes us on a journey inside the lives of stinging insects, seeing the world through their eyes as well as his own. He explains how and why they attack and reveals the powerful punch they can deliver with a small venom gland and a "sting," the name for the apparatus that delivers the venom. We learn which insects are the worst to encounter and why some are barely worth considering.
With colorful descriptions of each venom's sensation and a story that leaves you tingling with awe, The Sting of the Wild's one-of-a-kind style will fire your imagination.

Stephanie beats the boys to win Bridge Junior title
14-year-old Stephanie Barbaglia was in sizzling form as she beat a top-class field of golfers to become the first girl to win a Bridge Fund Managers Junior Series title this season. Stephanie, a Benmore resident who attends the ESCA School Wanderers, won the title by beating Liam van Deventer in a playoff at Germiston GC on 12 January 2020.
Liam, a member of Magaliespark CC, had earlier birdied the final three holes to match Stephanie's score of 69. They were closely challenged by Kiera Floyd and Nikhil Rama who ended a shot off the pace. Between them the foursome recorded a remarkable 22 birdies on the day.
"I wasn't aware of all the birdies being made throughout the round. I just stayed focused on my golf and tried to shoot the best score I could," explained Stephanie, who is a member of Bryanston CC.
"The key moments in my round were the final four holes of the front nine. I lost my swing a little bit and missed the greens and landed in bunkers on both the 6th and 7th holes. But I managed to get up and down both times, which helped with my score and my confidence. Then I made two birdies in a row, which made me believe that I could win the tournament."
Stephanie will join other #BridgeJuniorSeries tournament winners at the regional final in April 2020, where the prize is an all-expenses paid trip to the North and South Junior Championship at Pinehurst, North Carolina which has hosted three US Opens, the PGA Championships and the Ryder Cup.
"I wasn't aware that by winning you could have a chance to play in the USA. I found out just before the playoff when they were giving us the rules and explaining how we could stand a chance of playing in the USA. When I heard this it made me more motivated to win," said Stephanie.
Stephanie loves golf because it is as game you can play all your life and it offers opportunity to get into a top university and to travel the world.
"My goals for 2020 are to break in to the Top 5 of the Golf RSA u19 rankings and the Top 10 of the open rankings. My long term goals are to get into a college in America, then earn my LPGA tour card and become one of the best female golfers of all time," she said.
"Stephanie's display during the round and in the tense playoff was exceptional, especially when you consider she is just 14 years of age," said Paul Stewart, Chief Executive at Bridge Fund Managers. "The boys who have already qualified for the regional final are going to have to watch out for this talented and goal-driven youngster."
The #BridgeJuniorSeries launched in 2017, is managed by the SA Golf Development Board and endorsed by GolfRSA. Open to boys and girls in the U13 and U19 divisions, it is played across 18 tournaments hosted by leading courses countrywide.
Golfers in the north have two more opportunities to qualify for the regional final, at Wingate Park on March 1 and State Mines on 8 March 2020. Visit juniorseries.bridgefm.co.za for the full schedule and entry mechanism, or contact Peter Little of the SAGDB on littlegolfers2@gmail.com.
