where i can download sources of installer ?
This works well with my OS X 10.7 (build 11A494a) Lion installation which has a tendency to cause the dreaded BIOS reset problem when waking up after sleeping when certain utilities have been newly installed. If that happens I just rerun this installer and it's fixed and I'm filled with Joy!

What's new on the business scene for Oct. 3
Architecture firm receives chamber award — Alfandre Architecture has been awarded the Best New Building Project of the Year Award by the Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce for its new building at 231 Main St. in New Paltz. This example of green building aims to create sustainable living and working environments that are healthier and more resource-efficient. The building is registered with the U.S. Green Buildings Council.
The six tenant spaces in the 5,400-square-foot office building benefit from sustainable features. The walls are constructed with insulated concrete forms, which provide a high insulation value with no thermal bridging. The roof is built with a structural insulated panel roof system. Large, super-efficient R-7 windows let in natural lighting while still insulating the building and blocking noise. High-efficiency lights with automated controls prevent excess electric use and minimize light trespass at night. An energy recovery ventilation system cycles fresh, temperate air . The large solar panel system on the roof has generated more than 100 percent of the building's electric needs thus far.
"Green buildings are healthy buildings. We value our ability to bring healthy buildings to our community. We know how important it is for us to have green, energy-efficient buildings to live in, learn in and work in," owner Rick Alfandre said.
The Ulster County Regional Chamber of Commerce and the Ulster County Economic Development Alliance will recognize the recipients of the 2014 awards at a dinner Oct. 23 at Wiltwyck Golf Club in Kingston. For more information, call 845-255-4774 or visit www.alfandre.com

Bacon Jam and Almond Bread - Living in fear is no good to anyone.
I made mine pretty smooth, but you can leave it as chunky as you like. If you cut the bacon quite small (under 1/2" squares) and the onion a bit smaller, you could probably skip the blending entirely.

Absolute Success Stories
Reverse Engineering Car Tail light
Our client was restoring a classic car, and since replacement parts for such a classic are extremely rare, our client decided to have a new ones manufactured. However, the original would first have to be reverse engineered which is where our highly accurate scanners proved invaluable.
1965 Ford Mustang Right-hand-drive Conversion
Many classic cars originate in the USA where they're designed to drive on the right side of the road. This presents a challenge for motor enthusiasts who want to drive such vehicles on Australian roads.
One classic car aficionado contacted Absolute 3D for help to convert his 1965 Ford Mustang from left-hand-drive to right-hand-drive. The instrument cluster and glove box cover in this car are quite straightforward, so owners often simply swap the parts from left to right to perform a conversion. However this is not an ideal solution, since the parts are not completely symmetrical.
Reverse Engineering Renault Trafic Cargo bay
We use leading-edge laser scanners to create a precise 3D scan of the vans. Our laser scanners are ideal for capturing intricate and irregular surface details, and are accurate to 0.02mm. This enables complex dimensions to be extracted with ease. We then convert this raw scan data into a user-friendly CAD model. Our client simply imports the CAD model into SolidWorks to design the fit out.
Reverse Engineering AJS 7R Cylinder Head
Our client was restoring a 1950's AJS 7R Boy Racer, which had a cylinder head that was damaged beyond repair. Since replacement parts for such classics are extremely rare our client decided to have a new one manufactured. However, the original would first have to be reverse engineered which is where our highly accurate scanners proved invaluable.
3D Scanning Australian Open Trophies
Each year, Tennis Australia awards trophies to male and female Australian Open tennis champions. These trophies are handmade using traditional techniques, and the manufacturer ensures that each trophy looks similar. This means it would be difficult to produce a replica if the original was lost or damaged and the manufacturer went out of business. In order to mitigate this risk, Tennis Australia approached Absolute 3D to create a digital archive of the trophies.
3D scanning pool pump
We began by scanning and digitising the pump using our leading-edge ScanTech AXE-B17 laser scanner. Then we remodelled the pump using 3DS Max. The scan data acted as a guide to ensure accuracy during the remodelling process. We also made some design modifications as requested by our client. Finally, we used Substance Painter to add texture to the model.
3D Scanning Portable Radio
3D models deliver a more compelling and interactive experience for customers, allowing them to zoom in and view items from an infinite range of perspectives. Our client, a portable radio vendor, required a 3D model of one of his products to enhance the marketing on his website. He reached out to Absolute 3D for help to create a 3D model, as well as some photorealistic 2D renders of the radio.
Reverse Engineering a Mazda 1300 Grill
Our client was building a show car, which he wanted to feature a Mazda 1300 grill. However, these grills are very rare, and he was unable to locate one to purchase. Fortunately, he already had a Mazda 1300 grill from another vehicle that he had restored previously, so he brought this one into Absolute3D's Melbourne studio.
1965 Ford Falcon Right-hand-drive Conversion
To make this American classic look like a true right-hand-drive, the parts had to be scanned, mirrored and 3D printed. First we scanned all the parts using a Creaform GoScan 20 scanner. Then the raw scan data was imported into Geomagic Design X and converted from polygon format to a NURBS-format CAD model so the text could be modified using SolidWorks.
Reverse Engineering Datsun 510 Tail Light
Our client was building a race car, which he wanted to feature a Datsun 510 tail light. However, these tail lights are very rare, and he was unable to locate one to purchase. Fortunately, he already had a Datsun 510 tail light from another vehicle, so he bought this one into Absolute3D's Melbourne studio.

Q: C++ allocator to store objects of different types I have a bunch of objects wrapped by unique_ptrs.
Each object is of its own type.
I would like to create a kind of memory pool to store all those objects to avoid heap allocations for every last object. Like this:

Allocator allocator(1024); // should be extendable
unique_ptr< A > a = allocator.allocateAndWrapToUPtr< A >();
unique_ptr< B > b = allocator.allocateAndWrapToUPtr< B >();
C* c = allocator.allocate< C >();

As far as I can see allocators are specified as
template
class MyAllocator;
Hence they can store only objects of only one type.

Is it possible to implement "multitype" allocator?

A: It is not possible to use one allocator everywhere around the project.
Dynamic allocator example can be found at dmitrysoshnikov.com/compilers/writing-a-pool-allocator, it allows to solve the initial problem with unique_ptrs.
But it is not stl compliant so can not be used for collections for example.

23/09/2017 | US Drug Certification: Trump Delivers Shock Rebuke to Colombia over Cocaine Surge
U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening that he may decertify Colombia as a partner in the drug war unless it reverses a record surge in cocaine production in the South American nation.
The shock rebuke for Washington's staunchest ally in Latin America came Wednesday in the White House's annual designation of nations it deems major drug producing or transit zones.
Colombia, which is source of 90 percent of the cocaine consumed in the U.S., has long been a fixture of the list, which was unchanged from last year. But not since the late 1990s, when contributions from the Cali cartel funded the campaign of Colombia's then-President Ernesto Samper, has its commitment to fighting narcotics trafficking been called into question by Washington.
Twenty-two countries were designated as major drug transit zones Wednesday, and only Venezuela and Bolivia were deemed once again not to be fulfilling their international obligations to combat drug production and trafficking.
The leftist governments of both those nations are hostile to the U.S. Yet, in a statement, Trump said he "seriously considered" also decertifying Colombia because of the "extraordinary" growth of coca cultivation and cocaine production to record levels over the past year.
He said he ultimately decided against such a designation because the Colombian armed forces are close law enforcement partners with the U.S. He also cited improving interdiction rates and the restarting of forced eradication efforts that were significantly curtailed in 2013, when President Juan Manuel Santos prioritized reaching a peace deal with leftist rebels heavily involved in the drug trade. Two years later Santos ended aerial spraying of chemicals on illicit crops, a program that had been the backbone of almost two decades and $10 billion of U.S. counter-narcotics work in Colombia.
But Trump warned that he would keep decertification as an "option" and expected Colombia to make "significant progress" in reducing coca cultivation and cocaine production.
There was no immediate reaction from Colombian officials.
Adam Isacson, an analyst at the Washington Office on Latin America, described Trump's threat as a "huge mistake" that would likely reverberate throughout a region that has long resented the U.S. drug certification process as a throwback to the days of gunboat diplomacy.
"The message to the rest of the region is that no matter how many years you collaborate with the U.S., if you deviate from our preferred strategy for a moment, we'll publicly humiliate you," Isacson said. "They're taking the bilateral relationship to its worst place in two decades."
The drug certification process dates from the days of President Ronald Reagan's war on drugs and the last time Colombia was blacklisted was the late 1990s, when cocaine was found on Samper's presidential plane and he was nearly impeached for campaign contributions from the then-dominant Cali cartel.
Decertifying Colombia would put the country in the same rogue category as Venezuela, where several top officials have been indicted on U.S. drug charges and whose vice president was recently sanctioned by Washington as a suspected drug kingpin.
Isacson said the threat of decertification was even more worrisome because the U.S. expressed no similar concern over the lack of help it was receiving from far more corrupt nations on the list like Honduras, a major way station for South American cocaine working its way up by land across the border and into the U.S.
According to the State Department's annual anti-narcotics report, the Central American nation didn't carry out a single maritime interdiction last year and seized just 803 kilograms of cocaine nationwide despite more than 100 instances where the U.S. notified authorities of suspicious activity.
By contrast, bilateral maritime counter-drug cooperation between Colombia and the U.S. led to the seizure of more than 146 metric tons of cocaine in 2016. Overall, Colombia seized 421 metric tons last year, a 42 percent jump over 2015.
But the record drug seizures aren't keeping pace with the explosion in cocaine production, which the U.S. estimates surged more than 200 percent since 2013 to potentially 710 metric tons last year.
The government's strategy to combat that trend relies heavily on the cooperation of former guerrillas. Under terms of last year's peace deal with the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia, the government and former insurgents are working with peasant families to try and voluntarily eradicate some 123,000 acres (50,000 hectares) of coca this year in exchange for monthly cash stipends and alternative development projects.
U.S. officials, who still consider the disbanded FARC a terrorist organization, are skeptical the strategy will work. A senior U.S. State Department official in Senate testimony this week accused the FARC of co-opting the peasant groups negotiating with the government and said the peace accord has had no effect on coca production trends.
"The solution to this problem is to figure out how to cut the FARC out of having any engagement either as trafficking organizations or as allegedly supporting the efforts to address the drugs issue," William Brownfield told the U.S. Senate's international drug caucus.

Seeking some adventure travel in the province of Puntarenas, you follow the coast south from Jaco Beach to an estuary by Damas Island. Set back from the Pacific shore, mangrove-lined waterways provide the perfect opportunity to complete your quest with a truly unique monkey tour. You board a tour boat where ocean waters meet freshwater canals that wind through a sprawling stretch of untouched rainforest. Soak in the serenity as you glide down greenery shrouded channels and venture deep into the lush tropical wetlands.
With green, red, black and white mangrove trees, the tangled landscape that slips past presents an ever-changing palette of colors. You take note that the wildlife surrounding you has made an equally dramatic shift. Majestic ospreys swoop overhead. Brightly colored kingfishers proudly display plumage of brilliant blue and vibrant orange. Red crabs scamper across the mud-packed banks of the delicately balanced ecosystem. You understand how the basilisk earned its nickname of the "Jesus Lizard" as one scuttles over the water's surface with seemingly miraculous deftness. The hum of cicadas rises above the soundtrack of natural melodies that echo all around.
Be warned. You just might forget to cast your gaze downward as you navigate through terrain where verdant trees intertwine with fallen trunks to form dense woodlands. But you'd be remiss not to keep an eye out for the marine life that calls the habitat home. The murky waters teem with oysters, colorful sponges and spotted eagle rays. If lucky, you could catch a blacktip shark leaping from the water for a dramatic spinning strike on a school of fish.
The boat cruises past tiny islands and hidden channels that beckon for exploration. Shaded by the dense jungle canopy, you slip through tunnels that are formed by thick interlaced greenery. Migratory birds on the shores pay little notice to your passing. Snowy egrets forage along the river's edge, while a flock of long-legged ibises wades into the warm shallows.
As you venture deeper into the extensive wetland sanctuary, a diverse variety of wildlife further reveals itself. A three-toed sloth lazes in the upper reaches of a gently swaying cecropia tree, while below a silky anteater scurries through the twisted underbrush. You instinctively ease away from the water's surface as you spy a bask of crocodiles lurking among a shadowy tangle of mangrove roots. One of their equally deadly caiman cousins slides ominously into the brackish water as the boat eases past.
The boat drifts to a stop. Stillness is broken as your guide lets out a feral call. There's a stirring, a mysterious rustling in the treetops. You spot a troop of white-faced capuchin monkeys nearing, swinging hand-over-hand through the upper branches as they make their playful approach. The mischievous creatures board the boat. One softly scales your arm and settles on your shoulders. The up-close interaction feels so surreal that you almost forget to snap a selfie. Luckily, only almost, and you make the return back through the mangrove forest with the moment from your nature trip perfectly captured.

in determining whether a relationship is an "intimate relationship"
include but are not limited to: the nature or type of relationship,
regardless of whether the relationship is sexual in nature; the
frequency of interaction between the persons; and the duration of the
relationship. Neither a casual acquaintance nor ordinary fraternization
between two individuals in business or social contexts shall be deemed
to constitute an "intimate relationship".
2. Information to petitioner or complainant. The chief administrator
of the courts shall designate the appropriate probation officers,
warrant officers, sheriffs, police officers, district attorneys or any
other law enforcement officials, to inform any petitioner or complainant
bringing a proceeding under this section before such proceeding is
commenced, of the procedures available for the institution of family
offense proceedings, including but not limited to the following:
(a) That there is concurrent jurisdiction with respect to family
offenses in both family court and the criminal courts;
(b) That a family court proceeding is a civil proceeding and is for
the purpose of attempting to stop the violence, end family disruption
and obtain protection. That referrals for counseling, or counseling
services, are available through probation for this purpose;
(c) That a proceeding in the criminal courts is for the purpose of
prosecution of the offender and can result in a criminal conviction of
the offender;
(d) That a proceeding or action subject to the provisions of this
section is initiated at the time of the filing of an accusatory
instrument or family court petition, not at the time of arrest, or
request for arrest, if any;
(f) That an arrest may precede the commencement of a family court or a
criminal court proceeding, but an arrest is not a requirement for
commencing either proceeding.
(h) At such time as the complainant first appears before the court on
a complaint or information, the court shall advise the complainant that
the complainant may: continue with the proceeding in criminal court; or
have the allegations contained therein heard in a family court
proceeding; or proceed concurrently in both criminal and family court.
Notwithstanding a complainant's election to proceed in family court, the
criminal court shall not be divested of jurisdiction to hear a family
offense proceeding pursuant to this section;
(i) Nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict complainant's
rights to proceed directly and without court referral in either a
criminal or family court, or both, as provided for in section one
hundred fifteen of the family court act and section 100.07 of this
chapter;
2-a. Upon the filing of an accusatory instrument charging a crime or
violation described in subdivision one of this section between members
of the same family or household, as such terms are defined in this
section, or as soon as the complainant first appears before the court,
whichever is sooner, the court shall advise the complainant of the right
to proceed in both the criminal and family courts, pursuant to section
100.07 of this chapter.
3. Official responsibility. No official or other person designated
pursuant to subdivision two of this section shall discourage or prevent

fifty-four-d or one hundred fifty-five of the family court act or
subdivision three-b of section two hundred forty or subdivision two-a of
section two hundred fifty-two of the domestic relations law, in addition
to discharging other arraignment responsibilities as set forth in this
chapter. In making such order, the local criminal court shall consider
the bail recommendation, if any, made by the supreme or family court as
indicated on the warrant or certificate of warrant. Unless the
petitioner or complainant requests otherwise, the court, in addition to
scheduling further criminal proceedings, if any, regarding such alleged
family offense or violation allegation, shall make such matter

remains in effect in the issuing jurisdiction in accordance with
sections two thousand two hundred sixty-five and two thousand two
hundred sixty-six of title eighteen of the United States Code.

over the subject matter under the law of the issuing jurisdiction;
(ii) the person against whom the order was issued had reasonable
notice and an opportunity to be heard prior to issuance of the order;
provided, however, that if the order was a temporary order of protection
issued in the absence of such person, that notice had been given and
that an opportunity to be heard had been provided within a reasonable
period of time after the issuance of the order; and
(iii) in the case of orders of protection or temporary orders of
protection issued against both a petitioner, plaintiff or complainant
and respondent or defendant, the order or portion thereof sought to be
enforced was supported by: (A) a pleading requesting such order,
including, but not limited to, a petition, cross-petition or
counterclaim; and (B) a judicial finding that the requesting party is
entitled to the issuance of the order which may result from a judicial
finding of fact, judicial acceptance of an admission by the party
against whom the order was issued or judicial finding that the party
against whom the order was issued had given knowing, intelligent and
voluntary consent to its issuance.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of article fifty-four of the civil
practice law and rules, an order of protection or temporary order of
protection issued by a court of competent jurisdiction in another state,
territorial or tribal jurisdiction, accompanied by a sworn affidavit
that upon information and belief such order is in effect as written and

investigating a family offense under this article shall advise the
victim of the availability of a shelter or other services in the
community, and shall immediately give the victim written notice of the
legal rights and remedies available to a victim of a family offense
under the relevant provisions of the criminal procedure law, the family
court act and the domestic relations law. Such notice shall be prepared
in Spanish and English and if necessary, shall be delivered orally, and
shall include but not be limited to the following statement:
"If you are the victim of domestic violence, you may request that the
officer assist in providing for your safety and that of your children,
including providing information on how to obtain a temporary order of
protection. You may also request that the officer assist you in
obtaining your essential personal effects and locating and taking you,
or assist in making arrangements to take you, and your children to a
safe place within such officer's jurisdiction, including but not limited
to a domestic violence program, a family member's or a friend's
residence, or a similar place of safety. When the officer's jurisdiction
is more than a single county, you may ask the officer to take you or
make arrangements to take you and your children to a place of safety in
the county where the incident occurred. If you or your children are in
need of medical treatment, you have the right to request that the
officer assist you in obtaining such medical treatment. You may request
a copy of any incident reports at no cost from the law enforcement
agency. You have the right to seek legal counsel of your own choosing
and if you proceed in family court and if it is determined that you
cannot afford an attorney, one must be appointed to represent you
without cost to you.
You may ask the district attorney or a law enforcement officer to file
a criminal complaint. You also have the right to file a petition in the
family court when a family offense has been committed against you. You
have the right to have your petition and request for an order of
protection filed on the same day you appear in court, and such request
must be heard that same day or the next day court is in session. Either
court may issue an order of protection from conduct constituting a
family offense which could include, among other provisions, an order for
the respondent or defendant to stay away from you and your children. The
family court may also order the payment of temporary child support and
award temporary custody of your children. If the family court is not in
session, you may seek immediate assistance from the criminal court in
obtaining an order of protection.
The forms you need to obtain an order of protection are available from
the family court and the local criminal court (the addresses and
telephone numbers shall be listed). The resources available in this
community for information relating to domestic violence, treatment of
injuries, and places of safety and shelters can be accessed by calling
the following 800 numbers (the statewide English and Spanish language
800 numbers shall be listed and space shall be provided for local
domestic violence hotline telephone numbers).
Filing a criminal complaint or a family court petition containing
allegations that are knowingly false is a crime."
The division of criminal justice services in consultation with the
state office for the prevention of domestic violence shall prepare the
form of such written notice consistent with provisions of this section
and distribute copies thereof to the appropriate law enforcement
officials pursuant to subdivision nine of section eight hundred
forty-one of the executive law.
Additionally, copies of such notice shall be provided to the chief
administrator of the courts to be distributed to victims of family
offenses through the criminal court at such time as such persons first
come before the court and to the state department of health for
distribution to all hospitals defined under article twenty-eight of the
public health law. No cause of action for damages shall arise in favor
of any person by reason of any failure to comply with the provisions of
this subdivision except upon a showing of gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
7. Rules of court regarding concurrent jurisdiction. The chief
administrator of the courts, pursuant to paragraph (e) of subdivision
two of section two hundred twelve of the judiciary law, shall promulgate
rules to facilitate record sharing and other communication between the
criminal and family courts, subject to applicable provisions of this

expungement and sealing of records, when such courts exercise concurrent
jurisdiction over family offense proceedings.

This research work is conducted as part of the requirement for the Higher National Diploma [HND] in Accounting. It examine the liquidity management of commercial banks in Nigeria with more emphasis on their investment, liquidity and profitability position in order to find out why commercial bank need to be more liquid then any other business organization. The entire work is divided into five chapters, chapter one is an introductory analysis of the topic, then the background of the study, significance, scope and limitation, the purpose and hypothesis. The second chapter dealt with the literature review and theoretical consideration. Here related past work were review and the theoretical consideration on the present study was also brought into focus. Then chapter three contains an explanation of how and where the needed information for the study obtained and the limitation encountered in the course of conducting the research. It also contains the method of investigation. Chapter four dealt with the presentation and analysis of data collected during the filed survey after which the postulated hypothesis were tested. Finally, chapter five contains the finding of analysis and also, conclusion and recommendations.
Liquidity is the study of how quickly and cheaply an asset can be converted into cash. It can also be seen as the ability to fund increase in assets and meet obligations as they become due.
The management of liquidity is therefore among the most important activities conducted at banks. Overtime, there has been a declining ability to rely on core deposits and an increased reliance on wholesale funding. Recent technological and financial innovations have provided banks with new ways of funding their activities and managing their liquidity, but recent turmoil in global financial market has posed new challenges for liquidity management.
Liquidity management ensure that the institution maintains sufficient cash and liquid assets to satisfy client demand for loans and savings withdrawals, and to pay the institutions expenses. It involves a daily analysis and detailed estimation of the size and timing of cash inflows and outflows over the coming days and weeks to minimize the risk that savers will be unable to access their deposits in the moments they demand them. In other to manage liquidity, an institution must have a management information system in place manual or computerized, that is sufficient to generate the information needed to make realistic growth and liquidity projections.
A liquidity shortage, no matter how small, can cause great damages to a savings institution. It takes a long time to build customers relationships, a liquidity crisis can destroy those relationships instantly. In other to avoid a liquidity crisis, management needs to have a well-defined policy and established procedures for measuring, monitoring and managing liquidity.
A savings institution should have a formal liquidity policy that was developed and written by the officials with the assistances of management. The policy should be reviewed and revised as needed, no less than annually. The policy should be flexible, so that managers may react quickly to any unforeseen events. A liquidity policy should specifically state: who is responsible for liquidity management, what is the general methodology of Liquidity management. How will liquidity be monitored or, in other words, what liquidity management tools will be used.
a. Legal reserve requirement which is the legal reserve ratio through which the central bank of Nigeria (CBN) exercise consideration control over the cash or other reserves of the banks.
b. Special deposits and stabilization securities is also another way through which the CBN can put the commercial banks into tight corner by directing them to open up a special account.
c. Also the federal government directive of withdrawing all federal owned parastatals account from commercial banks is one of such constraints management. These directives causes ripples in its banking industry as such cause more discrepancies in the liquidity position of commercial banks and subsequently the rate of profitability.
2 H0: The depositors are not making impact on first banks cash inflows.
3 Hi: The depositors are making positive impact on first banks cash inflows.
4 H0: There is no difficulty converting the instrument that constitute first banks near cash asset.
5 Hi: There is difficulty converting the instrument that constitute first banks near cash asset.
6 H0: The federal government withdrawal of parastatals and corporations deposits with commercial banks have no impact first banks.
7 Hi: The federal government withdrawal of parastatals and corporations deposits with commercial banks have impact on first banks.
1. Do depositors make positive impact on First Bank Cash inflow?
2. Do you find it difficult converting the instrument that constitute First Bank near cash assets.
3. Does the federal government withdrawal of parastals and corporations deposit with commercial banks have any impact on first bank?
The importance of liquidity management in the banking industry cannot be over emphasized. Since not much contribution was made on the topic, liquidity management, the researcher will carefully consider those factors relevant to efficient liquidity management for a successful achievement of the desired profitability. Readers of this study/work will be exposed as regards the impact of future study. The basis of this research work as a determinant of profitability.
iii. Balance held with and for other banks internally and still meets their depositors and shareholders demand.
In this research, the management of commercial banks assets/liabilities will be discussed. The review of some liquidity and profitability, theories will be carried on it, the management of the asset and liabilities which mean the sources of fund (liabilities and uses of fund (assets). The sources from widely funds are acquired and the uses to which they are put can be found in the balance sheet of a bank.
This research work is limited to commercial banks; fund management and the components and portfolio management of their assets.
This study is carried out purely as an academic exercise and therefore could neither receive any financial package from governmental or financed by any private enterprise/organization. The limited resources of the researcher constrained the study.
The researcher found it difficult to obtain official information and data relevant to the study from the banks due to banks oath of securely and fear.
b. Saving Deposits: This type of deposit is usually evidenced by a passbook under which the depositor/customer of the bank is required to notify the bank before withdrawal. But it is not so in practice.

Caleb Booth

Christopher Adams

I think for dividers (A,B,C...) HTML Heading tags should be used.

A: Definately not ul since it is aplhabetical it should be either ol with list-style-type:upper-alpha; with nested list.
I would go with a html something like:

Sample: http://jsfiddle.net/easwee/8UUbh/5/

A: I would use a definition list

A

blblblaba

I know that the titles are not definition titles, but its clear what elements are the dividers and what elements are the contents.
edit i think @easwee's solution is much better in a semantic point of view.

'Never Look Away' Review: A Sketchy Three-Hour Epic About a Brilliant Painter
"The Lives of Others" director Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck returns with an epic melodrama inspired by Gerhard Richter.
In 2006, a 33-year-old German director named Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck took Hollywood by storm with his Oscar-winning debut, a manipulative and wantonly middle-brow spy drama about a heartless Stasi captain's long road to redemption. Told with a watchmaker's precision and finished off with a tear-jerking gut punch of a finale (complete with a freeze frame for good measure), "The Lives of Others" offered a seductive peek at a shadowy part of history, and seemed to herald the arrival of a filmmaker who might be able to class up some Hollywood fare, or even sell American viewers on the idea of reading subtitles. Then von Donnersmarck made "The Tourist," and that was the end of that.
Now, eight years since his disastrous — but Golden Globe-nominated! — dalliance with the studio system, von Donnersmarck is ready to walk his own long road to redemption (even if his most grievous crime was failing to save a Johnny Depp movie from itself). And what a long road it is: 189 minutes, to be exact, every one of them burnished with the same genteel watchability that made "The Lives of Others" such a crossover success.
An epic piece of fiction inspired by the life and work of Gerhard Richter, "Never Look Away" is a return to form in the most literal sense of the phrase, as it finds its director retreating to the same mode for which he became famous; it even finds him doubling back to the same time period, the same handsome star, and the same vague insistence that art should allow people to transfigure their personal trauma into self-ennobling peace of mind. The film is as confident and sweeping as von Donnersmarck's breakthrough, and even more determined to explore how the psychic fallout of the Holocaust shaped the reconstruction of Germany on both sides of the Berlin Wall — it would make a fine double feature with Luca Guadagnino's "Suspiria" for anyone willing to sacrifice an entire Sunday.
But where "The Lives of Others" was held together by a moral velocity that allowed viewers to overlook the convenience of its storytelling, "Never Look Away" is more sure of what it wants to say than of how it wants to say it. Even at its most sumptuous and entertaining, von Donnersmarck's latest struggles to fill in any of the profound truisms that it so neatly traces from the pages of history.
Spanning from Dresden in 1937 to Dusseldorf in 1966, the story begins when a wild-eyed young Aryan woman named Elizabeth (Saskia Rosendahl) takes her tiny nephew to see a Nazi exhibition on "Degenerate Art." Otto Dix, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse — all the usual suspects are there, strung up on the walls of a museum as examples of obscene work that Goebbels saw as "an insult to German feeling." For little Kurt Barnert (Cai Cohrs), barely old enough to wipe himself but already showing raw creative talent, the scene is dismaying: "Maybe I don't want to be a painter after all," he says to Aunt Elizabeth, squeezing her hand in his. It will take a World War, a couple of monumental coincidences, and some kooky art school friends in order for Kurt to find his way back to the wonder that was snuffed out from him that day.
His journey starts where Elizabeth's ends, as Kurt's creative streak is galvanized by his aunt's emerging schizophrenia (memorably expressed in a scene where Rosendahl strips naked to play the piano, the first of several instances in which von Donnersmarck uses the female body as a window into the male brain). "Everything that's beautiful is true," she tells him, imbuing those words with enough grace and gravitas to fool you into a false sense of depth. "Never look away." When the Nazis learn of Elizabeth's condition, they mark her down for sterilization; for all of her beauty, and her avowed potential to bear strong German soldiers, she's still regarded as a stain on the master race.
Enter the bad guy, a man whose cold and clinical disposition only underlines the extent to which he's a cartoon monster. His name is Professor Carl Seeband (Sebastian Koch, the square-jawed hero from "The Lives of Others"), and he insists that you never leave off the "professor" part. An evil gynecologist whom the Nazis have conscripted into their eugenics program, Carl has a Marvel supervillain's ability to sniff out physical "weakness, and no empathy to moderate that gift. It's he who condemns Elizabeth to death, even when she begs him to think of her as his own daughter. And, some 15 years later, it's he who scowls at the scrawny young artist making eyes at his actual daughter.
Kurt, now a wispy twentysomething played by popular German actor Tom Schilling ("A Coffee in Berlin," "Woman in Gold"), falls in love with Ellie ("Transit" star Paula Beer, inspiring dreams of what Christian Petzold might do with this material) the moment he sees her in a classroom of their restrictive East German art school. She's intrigued by his sensitive nature, and how his poetic soul is almost an act of defiance against the ruthless productivity of the other painters at the GDR academy. It would almost have to be that, as Kurt has little else to offer as a character; he's haunted and withdrawn, passive whenever he's not looking for something he can't seem to find. "Me me me," he often repeats as a facetious mantra, and yet there's almost nothing to him. Schilling is powerless to break him out of that shell, and — even after more than three hours — the film's protagonist is still an empty vessel of sorts, waiting to be filled by the symbolism of a narrative that's more story-driven than von Donnersmarck might care to admit.
For all of the script's talk about truth, beauty, and the value of representational expression, "Never Look Away" is always more of a soapy melodrama than anything else (a stylistic choice which, in its own way, might generously be construed as a comment on truth, beauty, and the value of representational expression). There isn't a single moment of this movie that makes it possible to forget that you're watching a movie. Caleb Deschanel's saturated lighting is soaked with myth and romance, so that even the most painful moments feel like they're embalmed in a hard coat of amber.

The script, likewise, skips from one suspenseful development to the next, tripping over all manner of hamfisted moments along the way. Kurt refers to Ellie as a "golden pheasant," and sweeps the young woman off of her feet with lines like "You're so beautiful it's almost unromantic… it's so easy to love you." Swap Schilling out for lookalike James McAvoy, replace the German for English and the GDR with mid-century America and this sophisticated arthouse fare might as well be a very special episode of "This Is Us."
Not that von Donnersmarck has much choice when trying to turn a profit on the kind of miniseries-length melodrama that people too seldom make anymore; "Never Look Away" needs to be entertaining to sustain itself, and the film is ultimately held together by the force of its narrative inertia. All of the developments in the plot — and all of the artistic digressions that pop up between them — are in the service of a single eventuality: At some point, Kurt is going to realize that his wife's father is the Nazi eugenicist who sentenced his beloved aunt Elizabeth to death, and the discovery is going to reshape his existence.
Von Donnersmarck engineers enough anticipation for that moment to hold our interest as the story shifts from East to West Germany, where Kurt enrolls in a Dusseldorf art school and falls under the spell of an enigmatic professor with a tragic backstory of his own (Oliver Masucci as Antonius van Verten). The movie depends on the perpendicular desires of seeing Kurt learn the truth about his past and unlock the artistic potential of his future, and leans on those things to the point where Ellie is all but erased from the narrative — by the time all is said and done, her uterus has more of a character arc than she does.
It's a flaw that would be easier to "forgive" if the payoff were worth it; if the film's climactic barrage of epiphanies and breakthroughs were as satisfying as those at the end of "The Lives of Others," but they're not. It's here, of all places, where "Never Look Away" shifts towards a more representational mode. In emphasizing how art allows us to make sense of the past, and consecrate even the most banal of sins, Von Donnersmarck loses his grip on the emotional payoff of the present. This is a beautiful movie, and occasionally one that rings true. But, in contradiction to aunt Elizabeth's claim, it's seldom both of those things at the same time.
Grade: C+
"Never Look Away" is now playing in New York and Los Angeles for a qualifying awards run. Sony Pictures Classics will release it in theaters in February 2019.

20 Questions with Lynette Rice
October 3, 2022 October 2, 2022 Filed under:
Lynette Rice has covered the entertainment industry for over 25 years. Currently a senior TV writer and editor for Deadline, she was previously a long-running editor-at-large at Entertainment Weekly — and was the only journalist to secure an exclusive interview with Patrick Dempsey after his 2015 departure from Grey's Anatomy — as well as a writer for The Hollywood Reporter. A native of Redlands, California, her first book, How to Save a Life: The Inside Story of Grey's Anatomy, was published last year. Lynette joins me on this week's new edition of 20 Questions to talk everything Grey's as well as what she's been reading and watching lately.
My sophomore year at San Diego State University. Since I wanted to be an actress in high school, I compromised by thinking, "Gee, I'll be a theater critic instead." I joined the school paper and reviewed my friends in a play. I hated it. I decided to be a plain old journalist after that.
What time of day are you most inspired?
After I nap.
Disney War by James B. Stewart. It was my first introduction to the crazy machinations of Hollywood, and I was immediately hooked.
Watching TikTok while I lie in bed at night. I never sleep well afterwards.
The scene in the field at the end of The Color Purple. Whoopi playing patty cakes with her sister gets my every time.
Writing. I wish I could do all the reporting and interviewing myself and then hand the writing off to someone else.
Caste by Isabel Wilkerson. It's lowkey depressing but should be required reading for everyone in our miserably polarized nation.
Your first book, How to Save a Life: The Inside Story of Grey's Anatomy, serves as a type of tell-all about the beloved long-running medical drama. What drove you to want to write a book about Grey's?
My agent, who used to be a book editor at Crown, emailed me while I was working for Entertainment Weekly and asked if I wanted to do it. I said, why not? It's probably best that I had absolutely no indication of how hard it would be to complete.
I love GOOD TV and frequently revisit old series. Before House of the Dragon debuted on HBO, I binged Game of Thrones for a fourth time. I am currently revisiting The Crown because — hi! — the Queen died.
As an entertainment journalist, how would you describe the power of pop culture in an age of isolation?
I have mixed feelings about this. One the one hand, all those readers keep me employed. On the other hand, FAR too much attention is focused on pop culture and NOT enough on important national and world affairs. More people know about Olivia Wilde's affair with Harry Styles than they do about Gov. DeSantis' appalling stunt involving those poor, duped immigrants.
As a writer and artist, what would you say is the best way to decompress?
I'm telling you, TikTok is the best, man. And streaming old movies. I love rewatching A Few Good Men and The Exorcist. They were so well made.
The only way out is through.
Larry David. I want my obit to be entertaining and he's the man who could do it.
24 Karat Magic in the air air air!
How difficult was it securing interviews and contributions of worth with actors and crew members for How to Save a Life?
Difficult to impossible. Some of the current leads refused to participate, so I had to rely on my old EW reporting to fill out the book. Fortunately, I had talked to many of them in the past.
I listen to books on tape when I walk and drive. I like thrillers, so I'm currently listening to The Golden Couple by Sarah Pekkanen.
You're stuck on a long flight. Which world-famous musician would you want sitting next to you?
Ann Wilson.
Bill Paxton in Aliens, 1986: "I don't know if you have been keeping up with current events, but we just got our asses kicked, pal!"
I do Crossfit and the gym coach sent us workouts to do at home. Also, my twins were home from college, and we were all under the same roof. One of them cooked every night!
What can we expect to see next from you?
An oral history/audiobook about Sons of Anarchy for Pushkin! The plan is to release it next fall for the show's 15th anniversary.
Follow Lynette Rice on Twitter and Instagram, and find her book How to Save a Life: The Inside Story of Grey's Anatomy wherever books are sold.

First GMO Mosquitoes to Be Released In the Florida Keys | Undark

This spring, the biotechnology company Oxitec plans to release genetically modified (GM) mosquitoes in the Florida Keys. Oxitec says its technology will combat dengue fever, a potentially life-threatening disease, and other mosquito-borne viruses — such as Zika — mainly transmitted by the Aedes aegypti mosquito.
While there have been more than 7,300 dengue cases reported in the United States between 2010 and 2020, a majority are contracted in Asia and the Caribbean, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In Florida, however, there were 41 travel-related cases in 2020, compared with 71 cases that were transmitted locally.
Native mosquitoes in Florida are increasingly resistant to the most common form of control — insecticide — and scientists say they need new and better techniques to control the insects and the diseases they carry. "There aren't any other tools that we have. Mosquito nets don't work. Vaccines are under development but need to be fully efficacious," says Michael Bonsall, a mathematical biologist at the University of Oxford, who is not affiliated with Oxitec but has collaborated with the company in the past, and who worked with the World Health Organization to produce a GM mosquito-testing framework.
Bonsall and other scientists think a combination of approaches is essential to reducing the burden of diseases — and that, maybe, newer ideas like GM mosquitoes should be added to the mix. Oxitec's mosquitoes, for instance, are genetically altered to pass what the company calls "self-limiting" genes to their offspring; when released GM males breed with wild female mosquitoes, the resulting generation does not survive into adulthood, reducing the overall population.
But Oxitec has been proposing to experimentally release GM mosquitos in the Keys since 2011, and the plan has long been met with suspicion among locals and debate among scientists. Some locals say they fear being guinea pigs. Critics say they are concerned about the possible effects GM mosquitoes could have on human health and the environment. In 2012, the Key West City Commission objected to Oxitec's plan; in a non-binding referendum four years later, residents of Key Haven — where the mosquitoes would have been released — rejected it, while residents in the surrounding county voted in support of the release. With the decision left up to the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District, officials approved the trial to be conducted elsewhere in the Keys.
According to Oxitec, the release was delayed due to a transfer of jurisdiction over the project from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to the Environmental Protection Agency.
The company reapplied for approval to release a new version of the mosquitoes, called OX5034, in the Keys. In May, the EPA granted a two-year experimental use permit, which the agency can cancel at any time. State and local sign-off soon followed — finally giving the project the greenlight.
Oxitec's OX5034 mosquitoes are the first GM mosquitoes approved for release in the U.S. The company has already conducted a trial with the OX5034 mosquitoes in Brazil and released more than a billion of a previous version, called OX513A, there and in other locations over the years — including the Cayman Islands. The company says it is confident in the effectiveness and safety of the technology.
But some scientists want to hit pause on Oxitec's Florida trial, to find what they say is a fairer process in deciding to release the mosquitoes. Others want to see clearer proof that this technology is even necessary, claiming that the company has only released its most positive data with the public and has kept other key data, including whether the mosquitoes curb disease transmission, private. And if the release actually launches as planned, some Keys residents say they aim to interfere.
Critics also say that Oxitec failed to engage with local communities in Florida and get their consent to release the mosquitoes. "What's the most upsetting is that the very people that are going to be most impacted, both by the benefits or the risks of such a decision, have like the smallest voice in how these choices are made. I think that's a really big issue," says Natalie Kofler, a molecular biologist and bioethicist who founded Editing Nature, a platform that advocates "for inclusive decision-making processes to steer" the use of genetic technology. "If Oxitec doesn't do this right," she adds, "we could have huge impact on delaying the use of other beneficial technologies like that in the future."
Oxitec's OX5034 mosquitoes are programmed to combat the transmission of mosquito-borne illnesses by suppressing local Aedes aegypti populations. Oxitec — which is U.S.-owned and based in the United Kingdom — describes their mosquitoes as "friendly" because they will only release males, which, unlike females, do not bite humans or transmit disease.
At Oxitec's laboratory in the U.K., the company genetically engineers the mosquitoes, giving the insects the "self-limiting" gene that makes the females dependent on the antibiotic tetracycline. Without the drug, they will die. Eggs from these genetically-altered mosquitoes — which will hatch both male and female insects — will be shipped to the Keys. Mosquitoes require water to mature from an egg to an adult; when Oxitec's team adds water to the boxes the mosquitoes will be deployed in, both GM males and GM females will hatch. With no tetracycline present in the box, the GM females are expected to die in early larval stages.
The male mosquitoes will survive and carry the gene. When they leave the boxes, the insects will, hypothetically, fly away to mate with wild females to pass the gene to the next wild generation, according to Nathan Rose, head of regulatory affairs at Oxitec. Kevin Gorman, the company's chief development officer, says the local female mosquito population will be increasingly reduced — which will also reduce the number of wild male mosquitoes in the treatment areas.
Gorman emphasized to Undark that the EPA and other regulators found no risk in using tetracycline in breeding their genetically-altered mosquitoes. But some scientists think the presence of this antibiotic in the environment does pose a risk. According to Jennifer Kuzma, co-founder and co-director of the Genetic Engineering and Society Center at North Carolina State University, tetracyline is commonly used in Florida to prevent bacterial diseases in agriculture — particularly in citrus groves — and to treat bacteria in sewage plants. The use of the antibiotic for these purposes may mean that it will remain in the environment, especially in water where the mosquitoes breed, which could allow Oxitec's female mosquitoes to survive. While the company does not plan to release the mosquitos near areas where the antibiotic is used, Kuzma says the EPA's risk assessment did not include testing of any standing water for tetracycline — something, she adds, "would have been easy enough to do for good due diligence."
Skeptics of Oxitec's GM mosquitoes include local residents, physicians, scientists, and environmental activists. Many of these opponents say they aren't anti-GMO, but disagree with how the approval process has been handled. One group has even kept a running list of what it sees as Oxitec's wrongdoings since it first began experimental releases. The list includes Oxitec's lack of disease monitoring in the countries where it has released mosquitoes; the unknown price of its technology; and complaints that the company has overstated the success of some of it its trials.

"I cannot trust this company. I cannot trust this technology," says Mara Daly, a resident of Key Largo who says she's been following Oxitec's plans for nine years.
"This is not a traditional pesticide," she adds. " This is not a chemical that you can trace. This is something completely different, new emerging technology and we need better regulation."
Phil Goodman, chairman of the Florida Keys Mosquito Control District (FKMCD), an independently-elected commission carrying out mosquito control within Monroe County, says that many of those who discredit Oxitec's evidence do not understand the technology. "They're fearmongering," he says.
"They have very little credibility here in the Florida Keys as far as I'm concerned," he adds.
But people like Daly and Barry Wray, executive director of the Florida Keys Environmental Coalition, disagree. "We want to know it's safe," says Wray, who notes that his group more generally supports GM technology. "We don't have another Florida Keys ecosystem. We don't have another Florida Keys community. We have this one."
Daly, Wray, and others point to what they perceive as the FKMCD's disrespect for public opinion. They argue that the community wasn't given a chance to consent before the EPA approval. There was a 30-day public forum in September 2019 about Oxitec's technology application, with 31,174 comments opposing release and 56 in support. A statement emailed to Undark by Melissa Sullivan, an EPA spokesperson, noted that the agency considered these comments during the review, but critics think it happened too quickly to be of real use.

In June, Kofler and Kuzma wrote an opinion piece in The Boston Globe about the EPA approval, critiquing the agency's regulatory system and calling for a better process for evaluating new biotechnologies. The researchers expressed concern that "the EPA did not convene an independent, external scientific advisory panel to review" Oxitec's claims about its mosquito strategy and that the agency only publicly released its risk assessment after approving the technology. The "American public," Kofler and Kuzma wrote, "needs to be assured that these decisions are made free of conflicts of interest." The statement from the EPA's Sullivan noted that the agency "conducted an extensive risk assessment based on the best available science."
Some critics also wanted there to be more public engagement. Kofler and Kuzma say they offered to provide their expertise, along with other outside experts, to the mosquito control district to allow more discussion about the GM mosquitoes with the Keys community. But Kofler says the district wasn't responsive. Oxitec itself launched webinars about their new product, but not until after the EPA approval. "Here we are, like in the final hour, having these conversations that needed to be happening a year ago," says Kofler.
The American public needs to be assured that these decisions are made free of conflicts of interest.

Without public trust and enthusiasm, it doesn't matter whether Oxitec's mosquito technique works, says Guy Reeves, a genetic researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Biology in Germany, who stresses that he doesn't think the company's approach is unsafe. "If the population in Florida Keys becomes so sensitized to this issue — that they can no longer cooperate with each other — that's good for the mosquitoes, not good for the people," he adds.
Based on their first generation mosquito OX513A, Oxitec says it has shown that the approach reduces a targeted mosquito population in trials in both Brazil and the Cayman Islands. But there's no evidence that this new OX5034 mosquito release will actually be worth it for mosquito suppression, says Reeves. Oxitec also hasn't explained how their new mosquito will directly curb human diseases, such as dengue. Reducing disease transmission and burden should be measures of efficacy for this technology, says Kofler.
According to Gorman, independent disease suppression data has only been collected by municipalities in Brazil because that's where most of the company's trials have been released in larger scales. These municipalities have shown that Oxitec mosquitoes have reduced dengue cases in areas of release, Gorman says. In order for Oxitec to collect additional data, he adds, the company needs to release and test large areas over sustained periods of time. Gorman maintains that the company is not required to report formal health impact studies.
Reeves adds that Oxitec also hasn't explained what resources are needed to sustain this product, how long it could take to be effective, or the cost. When asked about the cost of the Florida Keys project, Oxitec responded to Undark by email: "Oxitec is a pre-commercial, pre-profit company. We will not profit from this pilot project in Florida. We are paying for it ourselves."
Oxitec has released more than a billion of their OX513A mosquitoes over the past 10 years. According to independent scientists, some of those experiments did not go well.
For example, researchers at Yale University and collaborators from Brazil analyzed Oxitec's 2015 release of OX513A in Brazil. The scientists confirmed that some offspring of the genetically modified mosquitoes — which were supposed to die and not pass new genes to the wild population — survived to adulthood and mated with their native counterparts. Between 10 and 60 percent of the native mosquitoes contained genes from Oxitec, according to the Yale study, which published in Nature in 2019. The paper's authors concluded they do not know what impacts these mixed mosquitoes have on disease control or transmission, but added that their findings underscore the importance of monitoring the genetics of the insects.
Oxitec disagreed with the findings and responded on the journal's website. Oxitec told Gizmodo that Yale's study includes "numerous false, speculative, and unsubstantiated claims and statements about Oxitec's mosquito technology." And when Kofler and three other scientists wrote about Oxitec's Brazil trial in The Conversation, Oxitec pushed to have the article retracted, says Kofler.
For this coming release, some Key Largo locals are willing to act on their anger. Daly, for instance, says that if the mosquitoes are deployed in her neighborhood, she'll try to put insecticide in any box she finds or send it to an expert to test — even if it means getting in trouble with the federal authorities. "I already have my arresting officer and she said she's gonna clean her handcuffs for me," she says. "I don't care."
Ideally, Daly says, it won't have to come to that. She and other locals hope to stop Oxitec before the latest mosquitos are delivered. Daly says she has been busy organizing protests — like one that happened recently in Key Largo — and giving out yard signs to residents who don't want their property used in the trial. "Locals are pissed off. So I have been busy getting the press to cover the local opposition," Daly wrote in an email to Undark.
"The first flying insect or animal that can actually use our human blood for a friggin trial for a product to come to market without my consent," Daly says.
"That's my blood," she adds. "That's my son's blood. That's my dog's blood."
