Columbus Blue Jackets 2012 draft preview
By Chris Roberts

The Columbus Blue Jackets had one of their most disappointing seasons in recent history, and with the likely departure of Rick Nash, the 2012 NHL Draft could to mark a turning point in the franchise's history. Though they missed out on winning the draft lottery, they should still come away with a top prospect with the second-overall selection.
Top 10 Prospects:
1. David Savard, D
2. Cam Atkinson, RW
3. Boone Jenner, C
4. Matt Calvert, LW
5. Cody Goloubef, D
6. Tomas Kubalik, RW
7. T.J Tynan, RW
8. Will Weber, D
9. Michael Chaput, C
10. Jake Hansen, RW
Team Needs
After a miserable year and the inevitable departure of franchise winger Rick Nash this summer, the Blue Jackets NHL roster leaves quite a bit to be desired. Fortunately, they do have some pieces to work with, and Nash should draw a hefty return. As it stands now, the offense will likely come from a trio of natural centers – R.J Umberger, Derick Brassard, and Ryan Johansen. Players like Cam Atkinson, Matt Calvert, and Tomas Kubalik could possibly fill roles on the top three lines, but it's no surprise that the club is lacking top-six forwards heading into the off-season. Derek Dorsett, Derek McKenzie, Colton Gillies, and Mark Letestu will help round out the club's bottom-six forwards.
As porous as the team's defense was last year, they've actually got some talent on the back-end. Jack Johnson, who was acquired from the Los Angeles Kings for Jeff Carter, has shown flashes of brilliance in his career. His defensive-zone coverage lacks consistency, but he can play the point on the power-pay, and has proven himself as a top-four defenseman in the league. Fedor Tyutin and the emerging Marc Methot are capable defenders, while a healthy James Wisniewski should give the club four solid defensemen. John Moore and Dalton Prout looked good at times in a Blue Jacket uniform last season, and if the team can sign restricted free-agent Nikita Nitikin, the defense should be the strength of their club.
Goaltending is as big a question mark as ever. For the past three seasons, Steve Mason has been a shell of the player that stood between the pipes as a rookie in 2008-09. Obviously, he has the potential to be a capable starting goaltender, but his recent past suggests he's no more than a back-up goaltender. If he can turn back the clock and play as well as he did in his rookie season, the Blue Jackets need not worry, but with Allen York as the only other goaltender under contract, they'll have to make a move or two in the off-season.
Organizational Strengths
Not only was it a terrible year for the NHL club this past season, but the prospect cupboard has been running bare for the past two seasons, particularly with John Moore and Ryan Johansen graduating to become full-time NHL players. In Boone Jenner and Memorial Cup MVP Michael Chaput, the organization has a pair of likely future NHL-caliber players, but outside of those two, they don't have much in terms of offensive talent. Cam Atkinson and Matt Calvert have already shown the ability to play at the NHL level, but not with a modicum of consistency.
If the organization did have any strength, it would be on the blue line. It seems every year the club has a new batch of talented defensemen making the leap to the pro ranks – over the past two years they've seen Cody Goloubef, John Moore, David Savard, and Dalton Prout turn pro – and 2012-13 will be no different. One of the top defensive defensemen in all of college hockey, Will Weber will be joining the Springfield Falcons next year, as will WHL defenseman Austin Madaisky.
Organizational Weaknesses
The club could use help at all forward positions. While they've got some interesting pieces down the middle, they lack top-end talent, and their depth on both wings is quite shallow.
Goaltending is perhaps their biggest weakness. Steve Mason is a huge question mark at the NHL level, and the club doesn't particularly have any promising prospects coming through the pipeline. Allen York appears to be no more than an AHL goalie at this point in his career, and Martin Ouellette has been having trouble earning ice-time for the University of Maine. Anton Forsberg looked promising this year, but he's still more of a project pick.
Draft Tendencies
General Manager Scott Howson has stuck primarily to drafting North American players, or players who plan to play in North America (such as Lukas Sedlak and Petr Straka) over the past few seasons. They've made some ambitious selections in the first few rounds, not always making the most obvious pick, and have failed to really hit a home run in recent years, with the jury still out on Ryan Johansen and John Moore.
While none of their late-round selections have become full-time NHL players yet, it appears as though they've made great value picks in the latter rounds with players like David Savard, Matt Calvert, Dalton Prout, and Cam Atkinson, who were all selected in the second half of the draft.
The Jackets have eight selections in this year's draft, and are in a position to select two promising players with the 2nd and 31st overall picks. They also hold the 45th overall selection which originally belonged to Ottawa and was acquired in the Antoine Vermette deal with Phoenix. With three picks in the top 45, the Blue Jackets have the pieces to make a deal, but they're better off holding on to them.
The club also holds the 62nd, 95th, 117th, 152nd, 182nd selections in the draft.
Hockey's Future Staff Mock Draft Results:
No. 2: Ryan Murray, D, Everett Silvertips (WHL)
With the addition of Jack Johnson prior to last year's deadline and a young group of defensemen like David Savard and John Moore, the Blue Jackets could have their defense set for the next decade with the selection of Murray. By most accounts, Murray is the most NHL-ready defenseman in the draft. He has the experience to back up that claim: he's already worn the Canadian sweater at the World Juniors and the World Championships. Though the Blue Jackets might be more inclined to select a forward, with Yakupov off the board, they'd be best opting for the safer pick in Murray rather than taking Grigorenko or Forsberg.

Wednesday – Saturday, May 6 – 9 | 9:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
During our time together, we will read excerpts of exemplary memoirs (and peek at a couple of craft manuals); take them apart to figure out how they became so exemplary (and to remind ourselves that their authors were once staring at a blank page, too); do some craft exercises to practice those concepts; and then deploy them in short pieces of memoiristic writing that we will workshop as a group. No prior submission of work required.
Boris Fishman immigrated to the U.S. at nine, from the former Soviet Union. He is the author of the novels A Replacement Life (which won the VCU Cabell First Novelist Award and the American Library Association's Sophie Brody Medal), and Don't Let My Baby Do Rodeo, both New York Times Notable Books of the Year, and Savage Feast, a family memoir told through recipes. His journalism has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Travel + Leisure, The London Review of Books, The Washington Post, and many other publications.

Water, electricity, McDonald's: Gazans hope for reconciliation
By AFP/Mai Yaghi &nbspNovember 28, 2017 | 08:00 am GMT+7

Gazans' demands are mostly simple: water, electricity, the right to travel.
Hamas is due to hand over power in the Gaza Strip to the Palestinian Authority by Friday as part of a reconciliation deal, raising hopes humanitarian suffering there can be eased.
The coastal enclave has been blockaded by Israel for a decade, while the only other border -- with Egypt -- has been also largely sealed in recent years.
Residents receive only a few hours of electricity per day, and UN officials have said Gaza is becoming rapidly unliveable.
Israel says its restrictions are necessary to isolate Islamist movement Hamas, which has ruled the enclave since seizing it in 2007. It has fought three wars with Israel since.
Gazans explain why reconciliation matters to them:
The stranded student
Yahya al-Majayda, 18, is meant to be studying medicine. He applied for university in Ukraine, was accepted and even received the visa. But with the borders sealed, he is stuck.
"My visa has been valid for two months but I haven't been able to travel because of the border.
"It expires in January. If I don't arrive by that date they won't renew it and I will lose around $2,000 I spent.
"My future depends on the opening of the border and the national government taking control in Gaza.
"I am very scared reconciliation will fail, my future will be lost completely."
The daughter cut off from family
Maysaa al-Shanti, a 45-year-old mother of six, hasn't seen her parents since Hamas took control. They moved to Saudi Arabia decades ago.
"I dream of reconciliation and for them to open the crossings so I can travel to see my family in Saudi Arabia.
"I haven't seen them in 11 years. My father died without me seeing him.
"I don't know when I will see my mother and siblings if they don't succeed with reconciliation."
The rival bureaucrats
In a strange quirk, there are two civil services in Gaza.
When Hamas took over in 2007, the majority of the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority employees were told to stop working.
Hamas set up a rival administration, while tens of thousands of PA employees continued to get a salary without working.
Leila Saqar was among them. She is hoping to return to her job with the health ministry.
"Ten years at home without work has negative psychological and professional effects.
"I don't care if my colleagues or the patients I treat are Hamas or Fatah. We are all Palestinians.
"As employees in the PA we will complement the Hamas employees, who have acquired experience during their years of work, dealing with new projects we today must learn about."
Mahmoud al-Faraa, head of public relations with the Hamas media ministry, could be losing his job.
A final decision about Hamas employees has been put off until early next year, with a merger possible, but Faraa said he was personally in favor of reconciliation to ease conditions for his family.
"As an employee also I hope there will be reconciliation so I can get my full salary from the Palestinian Authority, and develop our capacities and expertise."
The unemployed graduate
Wael al-Haj, 32, graduated from university in 2008, but since then he has been mostly unemployed.
"All we want is reconciliation and for the economic and living situations to improve and to get a chance to work. All I want is to provide my family with a stable and dignified life.
"The Gaza Strip has seen a huge tragedy as a result of the split."
The child who wants to fly
Hamada Ahmed, 12, a student in a United Nations school in Gaza, doesn't know exactly what reconciliation is -- but he hopes it means he will be able to leave Gaza for the first time.
"My dad said if they open the crossings to everyone we will travel. I hope to fly in a plane and eat McDonald's."

FSU advances Saturday to play Murray State and its star guard Ja Morant, who had a triple-double in the Racers' 83-64 win over Marquette Thursday.
Pat Kennedy loves this time of year, too.
While no longer coaching, the former Florida State men's basketball coach follows college basketball closely and appears routinely on national and digital broadcasts.
FSU fans will be thrilled to hear that Kennedy's Final Four bracket this year features four ACC teams – Duke, Virginia, North Carolina and FSU. The Seminoles last appeared in the Final Four in 1971-72, losing to UCLA in the title game.
"They have as good of a road to get there as anyone, in my opinion," Kennedy said Friday morning from his home in Dorian, Connecticut.
Of course, the road to the Final Four – this year in Minneapolis, Minnesota, April 6-8 – is never easy.
Kennedy watched the Seminoles' 76-69 victory over Vermont Thursday in opening-round play of the NCAA Tournament. He liked what he saw from FSU, the No. 4 seed in the West Region. The Seminoles withstood a barrage of three-pointers from the Catamounts and pulled away late to avoid an upset in Hartford, Connecticut. FSU's physicality, depth, and athleticism played key roles in the game, specifically in the second half.
"I thought once again FSU looked very steady, very composed," Kennedy said. "Any team, in these kind of games, can get what you might call 'tight sneakers.' I thought FSU looked in full control of that game."
It was Morant's third triple-double (17 points, 16 assists, 11 rebounds) this season and only the ninth in NCAA tournament history. The 6-foot-3 sophomore guard is averaging 24.4 points per game this season. He has been held in single digits just once – 9 points against Middle Tennessee in December when he attempted just eight shots.
Morant – a 50-percent shooter from the field - made 5 of 9 field goals, including two trey and five free throws, in the win over Marquette. Kennedy looks for FSU to defend the athletic Morant by committee. An under-recruited player from rural South Carolina, Morant is projected to be a top-two pick in this year's NBA draft.
"Obviously, you don't want to let him get going," Kennedy said.
Murray State (28-4) which is riding a seven-game winning streak, shot 53.3 percent from the field (30 of 56) against Marquette. FSU, meanwhile, shot 38.2 percent (21 of 55) and only made 3 of 12 treys against Vermont. The Seminoles countered by wearing out the smaller Catamounts down low, outscoring them 30-14 in the paint. Vermont had just seven baskets from inside the three-point line.
FSU will be looking to advance the Regional semifinals for a sixth time (1972, 1992, 1993, 2011 and 2018). The West Region also features No. 1 seed Gonzaga and No. 2 seed Michigan. The Seminoles beat Gonzaga in the Sweet 16 last year but fell to Michigan in the Elite Eight. The teams could potentially meet in the same scenarios this year.
Kennedy hopes to see the Seminoles in Minneapolis, where his daughter's family lives and a family reunion is planned during the Final Four weekend. Kennedy and wife Jeannie have three grown children - Joe, Kimberly and Kathryn.
"FSU just has to keep doing it is doing and stay really focused," said Kennedy, who led the Seminoles to Sweet 16 and Elite Eight appearances during his tenure (1986-97), compiling a 203–130 record and earning ACC Coach of the Year honors (1992). "Of course, this time of year you can't have a bad shooting night."

Pioneers of Homeopathy

Dr Edward
Dr Edward Bach studied medicine at the University College Hospital, London, and was a House Surgeon there. He worked in general practice, having a set of consulting rooms in Harley Street, and as a bacteriologist and later a pathologist he worked on vaccines and a set of homoeopathic nosodes still known as the seven Bach nosodes. Despite the success of his work with orthodox medicine he felt dissatisfied with the way doctors were expected to concentrate on diseases and ignore the people who were suffering them. He was inspired by his work with homoeopathy but wanted to find remedies that would be purer and less reliant on the products of disease. So in 1930 he gave up his lucrative Harley Street practice and left London, determined to devote the rest of his life to the new system of medicine that he was sure could be found in nature. Just as he had abandoned his old home, office and work, so now he abandoned the scientific methods he had used up until now. Instead he chose to rely

Chronicler of the Asian-Australian experience
Emil Goh, 1966-2009
September 30, 2009 — 12.00am
Emil Goh, who began his career as a photographer and video artist, became a designer, writer, publisher, visual artist and one of the founding members of Sydney's pioneering non-profit art space Gallery 4A.
Goh, who has died from a heart attack, initially dedicated himself to creating sensitive photographs reflecting the Asian-Australian experience. His early images often reworked family photographic negatives.
He had his first solo show in Melbourne in 1997, and over the next decade took part in more than 70 exhibitions and projects in Australia, Europe and Asia. Goh was admired by art critics and peers. His warm and gregarious personality, along with a fondness for socialising, won friends everywhere. He was also a tireless promoter of fellow artists and connector of people.
Neither money nor recognition motivated him, and he sold little art. Among the few institutions that own his work in Australia are Artbank, the Broken Hill Regional Art Gallery, the Pat Corrigan Collection and Parliament House in Canberra, though recognition of his importance has increased over time. One of his early works hangs in the Patrick White meeting room at the Australia Council for the Arts in central Sydney.
Emil Goh, who died at his home in Seoul, aged 43, was born in Malaysia, in the southern state of Johore, the eldest of two sons of Xavier Goh Khen Wah, an electrical engineer, and Sylvia Lee Goh, a prominent Malay painter. He was schooled in Kuala Lumpur and Singapore until 1985, when his parents sent him to university in Australia. He completed an arts degree at Newcastle University before moving to Sydney, determined to become an artist.
Goh graduated from Sydney College of the Arts, University of Sydney, in 1997 and that year was a founding member of Gallery 4A, launched by Melissa Chiu and the Asian Australian Artists Association in a one-room space in Chinatown. He organised shows, designed catalogues and helped oversee relocation in 2000 to upscale premises on Hay Street.
He spent the late 1990s in London, where he earned a master of fine arts at Goldsmiths College, University of London, before returning to Sydney. He then spent time in Hong Kong and in 2003 was awarded an Asialink residency in Seoul where he eventually settled. He taught art and design at Korean universities.
Goh was focused on art to the exclusion of his health and personal relationships, about which he rarely spoke. He did, however, have a passion for food and could be relied on to know the best eateries in any city.
Through his curiosity and tireless enthusiasm for art, people, ideas and food, Goh celebrated life with such optimism and wonder that his death shocked all who knew him. He had been in good spirits, and was working on art and design projects, among them design-it-yourself meditation pods.
Benjamin Genocchio and Melissa Chiu

"Runnin' (Lose It All)" Featuring Beyoncé Is The Fall Anthem You Need
Jovi HoSeptember 18, 2015
English DJ and producer Naughty Boy has just dropped his track "Runnin' (Lose It All)" featuring newbie Arrow Benjamin and mothereffing Beyoncé! How he managed to get her on a track is still a big question mark but this. track. is. fire.
The visuals! The production! The hook! It's hard to decide which element is the real scene-stealer in this beautiful song but it's definitely, without a doubt, gonna be huge in #Q3. Plus, Beyoncé hasn't done a good ol' fashioned hit song where she just saaangs her heart out, at least not since the "Sasha Fierce" era.
Yes, while the Fall season is usually cornered by the likes of Ariana Grande, it seems Beyoncé has chosen this to be HER TIME (at least before album #6 drops). Now don't try to tell me Naughty Boy got to decide when he wanted his track released, because when Beyoncé gently asks for something in that deep contralto speaking voice of hers, you do it.
Queen Bey is no stranger to these random singles coming out of left field: she's done this multiple times. The singer has released notable songs between albums, almost like a time marker of sorts before the next release arrives. "Why Don't You Love Me" and " Bow Down (I Been On)" were both released "in between" albums, and do not appear on the albums' regular issue. It's like her way of saying "I'm still here. I can still outsell all of these pop princesses just like that."
So, is this a hint for new Beyoncé music in early 2016? Hmm…
Also, who is this Arrow Benjamin because he actually sounds pretty good.
Remember that strange collective dream we all had yesterday about Naughty Boy getting Beyoncé on his new single
— Peter Robinson (@Popjustice) September 17, 2015
/slaps self/ "Is this the reeeal liiiiiife…"
This is, by far, my favorite @Beyonce song ever. Everything @NaughtyBoyMusic touches turns to gold. Didn't think you could top La La La ??
— Uma (@MusicByUma) September 18, 2015
Quite true. Do you think "Runnin' (Lose It All)" tops the Sam Smith smash from 2013? Let us know in the comments below!
Find out who Arrow Benjamin is here.

Tweet Naughty Boy asking how he got royalty to sing for him here.

Matt and Megan were married in early September. Late enough to avoid the summer heatwave, but we still enjoyed a lovely warm day. The preparation for the wedding was a little unusual. Matt and Megan are based in Australia, so all correspondence was through email and was only able to finally meet them a couple of days before the wedding.
I do prefer to do a site meeting with a my weddings as it gives us an opportunity to go through ideas on sight and see how practical they are and how long they will take to do. If the wedding is in a marquee this often means a quick meeting just before the wedding. Just to check that what you planned in an empty field will still work once the marquee is up. It also helps to meet couples as much as possible before the wedding so they comfortable with you. It always shows in the pictures.
Madehurst is little more than a hamlet just outside of Arundel. There is just the church, the cricket club and a few houses nestled at the foot of the South Downs. It feels almost untouched by the modern world and going there is almost like going back in time. A really beautiful setting for a wedding. A band entertained the guests in the evening and they was a firework display.

Catharsy presents post-rock for the people.
Lindsay of the post-metal band Catharsy was recently interviewed on the Music Manumit Podcast.
Their 2011 release, Apertures, is now available here at the Free Music Archive.
Be sure to check out this unique, West Aussie flavor of heavy.
This month on Wood & Wire we're delivering new, experimental Australian music from two exceptional solo artists, Melbourne's Drill Folly and Hollow Press from Adelaide.
No Love Lost (WW15) is the debut release from electronic producer Sarah Phelan, under the name Drill Folly. Sarah has been making music for a number of years as a founding member of Melbourne's Tantrums, whose debut EP Anomie was released on New Weird Australia in 2010, featuring remixes from Collarbones & Worng. As part of Tantrums, Sarah has played live supporting Unkle, Mount Kimbie, Caribou, Four Tet, PVT, Xiu Xiu, My Disco, Jason Forrest and more.
This debut release is designed to be listened to on your own, in headphones. Sarah notes: "This is about expressing human emotion through machines. This is about therapy ... immersion ... escape ... about words being insufficient ... about trying to remember and remembering to forget. This is about not letting things sit on your hard drive until you die."
Beginning in early 2012, Adelaide's Hollow Press has been using drone, glitches, field recordings, voices and industrial sounds to create his work. His first two albums, Fleeting Joy and Between Us were released digitally and on CD by US label Drug Arts. A remix album of his work was released in early 2013 with reworks from The Atlas Room, Shisd, Delphine Coma, Amanda Schoepflin and more.
The third Hollow Press album in the span of a year, Heads in Dust (WW16) is a collection of blissful and at times unsettling songs - an abstract soundtrack to someone's innermost, darkest thoughts, as it drifts seamlessly though sonic atmospheres. Clearly Hollow Press loves the darker shades of experimentalism, exploring ambience, mingling sounds, wave-like-synths, bells, and distorted voices, resulting in a captivating and significant Australian experimental album.

Pfeiffer Vacuum awarded supply contract from TU Darmstadt for DREEBIT ion beam system
Laser spectroscopic measurement of atomic radii
Dresden subsidiary DREEBIT GmbH to deliver required ion beam system
Innovative vacuum apparatus
Pfeiffer Vacuum has been awarded a major contract from the Technical University of Darmstadt for the delivery of a DREEBIT ion beam system for use at the Technical University of Darmstadt's Institute of Nuclear Physics. The Darmstadt researchers in the LaserSpHERe working group conduct precision experiments involving the interface of atomic, nuclear and particle physics. The research focuses on the laser spectroscopy of highly charged ions and exotic short-lived isotopes.
Construction of the "Collinear Apparatus for Laser Spectroscopy and Applied Physics" (COALA) large-scale research facility began at the end of 2014 at the TU Darmstadt's Institute for Nuclear Physics, where the commissioned ion beam facility will be used. For the experiment, the EBIS-A type ion source used will generate electrically charged ions of light chemical elements which will be coupled into the beamline of the COALA apparatus. A clean ultra-high vacuum is essential to ensure the particles can move as freely as possible in the beamlines. An extremely powerful and reliable vacuum generator is necessary to maintain such a low pressure. This is even more so in the case of the new ion source since the ions remain in this for a much longer time.
Each element emits and absorbs the light of certain, very precisely defined wavelengths, which are perceived as a color by the human eye. This property is also the basis behind the appearance of colors in fireworks. The color depends on the chemical element and the state of charge of the atom. Very precise measurement of the wavelength not only provides information about the chemical element and its state of charge but it is even possible, through comparison with highly precise theoretical calculations, to determine the size of the atomic nucleus.
Prof. Dr. Wilfried Nörtershäuser, head of the working group at the TU Darmstadt, explains the technical advantages of the COALA beamline: "Up to now, spectroscopic measurement of atomic radii has only been carried out on hydrogen-like systems with a single electron, since the theory is only sufficiently accurate for this. Experimentally, however, these simple atomic systems have the disadvantage that the wavelengths to be used lie well into the ultraviolet range of the optical spectrum and are therefore difficult to access with today's laser systems. Currently, however, there are promising efforts to achieve the required accuracy even for more complex helium-like systems with two electrons. Their wavelengths are much more accessible for laser systems and in the future will allow the radii of atomic nuclei from helium to nitrogen to be determined much more precisely than is currently possible. The COALA apparatus will provide the ideal conditions for this once the DREEBIT ion beam facility with the EBIS-A ion source has been installed."
Since DREEBIT GmbH was founded in 2006, the "Ion Beam Technology" division has developed and brought to market various ion source types such as EBIS and ECRIS, which are principally used in particle accelerators for research and medical applications, such as ion beam therapy. Since 2017, DREEBIT GmbH has been part of the Pfeiffer Vacuum Group, focusing on the development of special systems and servicing of vacuum products. Some 70 people are currently employed at the Dresden and Großröhrsdorf locations.
The research project is supported by the German Research Foundation (DFG) within the Collaborative Research Center (SFB) 1245.

nginx: [emerg] still could not bind()

How can I fix these issues?

A: Change listen       80; to listen       8080; You have a process already on port 80.
EDIT: Try to remove listen-address=127.0.0.1 from dnsmasq.conf.
And restart dnsmasq with sudo brew services restart dnsmasq.
Always use sudo... when starting or stopping services that runs below port 1000.
I think its most likely the dnsresolver.

Revealed: Where Libya invests $53bn
Robert Peston Economics editor
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-13552364
Image caption It is unclear what will happen to the assets
The location of $53bn (£33bn) of Libyan state assets has been uncovered by the leaking of an internal management document of the Libyan Investment Authority.
The document, leaked to the campaigning group Global Witness, discloses that on 30 June last year $293m of Libyan state money was on deposit in various HSBC accounts and a further $275m was in an HSBC hedge fund, $110m had been invested in private equity funds managed by Royal Bank of Scotland, and $182m was in Goldman Sachs accounts and funds.
The French bank Societe General received $1.8bn of Libyan Investment Authority money in three funds.
All the assets have now been frozen, under orders from the European Union and the United Nations - because, in the words of the British Treasury, "Gaddafi and his family exercise considerable control over the Libyan state and its enterprises". One of these enterprises deemed to be controlled by Muammar Gaddafi is the Libyan Investment Authority.
All the banks refused to make any public comment on the funds they received and managed on behalf of the Libyan Investment Authority, citing client confidentiality. They said that the fact that the Libyan Investment Authority no longer had the right to access the money was irrelevant.
"Our lawyers tell us we can say nothing about this", a spokesman for one of the banks said.
Charmian Gooch, director of Global Witness, said: "It is completely absurd that HSBC and Goldman Sachs can hide behind customer confidentiality in a case like this. These are state accounts, so the customer is effectively the Libyan people and these banks are withholding vital information from them".
'Locked down'
A banker said: "Our clients would not like it if we started to confirm or deny what funds we hold on behalf of individuals or entities on a selective basis".
When it was put to him that the only clients who might be concerned would be dictators of other countries, fearful that their assets could one day be seized and expropriated, the banker said that was not relevant.
It is unclear whether any of the deposits held in the Arab Banking Corporation and the British Arab Commercial Bank are sitting in their London arms
Another banker said however that the Libyan Investment Authority assets held by his organisations were completely "locked down".
He added: "there is nothing we can do with them at all until we get direction from the (US) government, and we have no idea when that will be".
The banker said it was impossible to be sure what would ultimately happen to the assets. "It depends on the outcome of the conflict in Libya" he said.
Most of the Libyan Investment Authority assets are in Libyan or Arab financial institutions. There is $14.2bn, €2.9bn and £1.7bn on deposit with the Central Bank of Libya, $356m in various currencies deposited with Arab Banking Corporation, and $178m with the British Arab Commercial Bank.
It is unclear whether any of the deposits held in the Arab Banking Corporation and the British Arab Commercial Bank are sitting in their London arms.
The Libyan Investment Authority internal report also discloses that $500m was invested in a bond portfolio managed by the Japanese bank Nomura, and a further $500m was in bonds managed by Bank of New York.
The US hedge fund Och-Ziff received $300m from the Libyan Investment Authority to manage.
Global Witness wants all banks to be forced to make public disclosures of assets they hold on behalf of states, to make it harder for corrupt dictators to silt away some or all of these assets for their personal benefit.
The document shows that as of last year, the Libyan Investment Authority owned huge stakes - many of them worth hundreds of millions of dollars - in some of the world's most prominent companies, including Unicredit and ENI of Italy, Siemens and RWE of Germany, Rusal of Russia, General Electric of the US, and BP and Vodafone of the UK.

Justin Turner was never leaving the Dodgers and he didn't try to hide it either
Chad Moriyama 01/09/2017 Uncategorized Leave A Comment
Everybody knew that Justin Turner wanted to remain a Dodger, but he was still a coveted free agent in a weak free agent class and was set to finally cash in on what might be his one big payday. That reality plus the fact that the Dodgers seemingly had tough decisions ahead when it came to payroll gave us all concern that he would be wearing a different uniform next year. However, in the end he re-signed with the Dodgers without making much of a mess about it, and thanks to Buster Olney we now know exactly how much he wanted to remain a Dodger and how he never tried to hide it even for negotiation purposes.
Teammates knew that Justin Turner wanted to stay with the Dodgers. In fact, he didn't bother pretending that he might seriously consider offers from other teams. Turner never cleaned out his locker after the close of the 2016 season and continued to work out at Dodger Stadium.
So yeah, not only was it clear JT didn't want to leave the Dodgers, but dude didn't even bother pretending for the Dodgers that he was going to leave the Dodgers.
That goes a long way to explaining why a guy who seemingly should've gotten at least $80 million came back for $64 million, and why Dodgers Digest along with seemingly everybody else thinks the Dodgers ended up with a bargain.
There was even some concern that Turner being underpaid and the lack of a market developing was some kind of sign that other teams and/or JT and his agent knew something about his health or ability that the rest of us didn't, but it seems clear at this point that those concerns were unfounded.
Justin Turner simply wanted to be a Dodger, and I'm certainly thrilled that was the case.

The Road Is The Cure: Rainiers Are Racking Up Wins Away From Home
The Tacoma Rainiers are playing good baseball these days, but unfortunately the fans at home have not seen it.
After last night's 6-5 win at Reno, Tacoma has won seven of the last nine away games, and after a tough start to the season has nearly reached a .500 record in road games at 12-14.
Unfortunately, the home field hasn't been an advantage. At all. Like, it's actually been a disadvantage. The Rainiers are just 6-17 at Cheney Stadium this year, including losses in six of the last seven home games. The age-old goal of playing .500 ball on the road and piling up the wins at home is not currently panning out for this squad.
Maybe the weather has something to do with it. It seems silly, since both teams playing in a game have to deal with the same weather, but professional baseball players tend to come from warmer climates and enjoy playing in the heat. Perhaps the Rainiers will feel more comfortable in their home ballpark when it starts to warm up this summer.
The team won't be back at home for awhile. Tonight's contest is the third of a nine-game road trip, and Tacoma does not return home until Friday, June 10. We'll see if they can keep the strong road results going for another week.
YESTERDAY: Tacoma hit four home runs and the bullpen held on in the late innings for a 6-5 win at Reno. Jarred Kelenic opened the game with a homer, and later Forrest Wall, Andrew Knapp, and Mason McCoy all went deep. Darren McCaughan started and survived a rocky first two innings to make it through five, allowing two runs and earning the win. Matt Koch pitched the ninth inning against his former team and picked up his first minor league save.
TODAY: Tacoma Rainiers (18-31) at Reno Aces (26-24), 6:35.
OPPONENT AFFILIATION: Arizona Diamondbacks.
OPPOSING MANAGER: Gil Velazquez.
SEASON SERIES: Tied, 4-4.
PITCHERS: LHP Justus Sheffield (0-4, 8.47) at LHP Tyler Gilbert (2-2, 10.17)
ROSTER MOVES: Yesterday outfielder Justin Upton joined the Rainiers, and fellow outfielder Billy Hamilton exercised a June 1 opt-out and became a free agent. Today the Mariners announced that reliever Riley O'Brien cleared waivers and was outrighted to Tacoma, so he'll be re-joining the team shortly.
HOT HITTERS: Brian O'Keefe has reached base with a hit or a walk in 18 of the 19 games he has played in this season… Jarred Kelenic has a seven-game hitting streak, going 12-for-29.
HOT RELIEVERS: Hot relievers? A new feature – we have some hot relievers. Danny Young has nine straight scoreless appearances in Triple-A… Nick Ramirez has not allowed a run in his last seven games, spanning 8.1 innings, and he has not walked anyone in his last ten games… Patrick Weigel has permitted just two earned runs over his last 13.2 innings, covering 12 outings.
OPPONENT NEWS: Reno just went 4-2 on a road trip to Oklahoma City, and has gone 13-8 over the last 21 games… Dominic Fletcher was promoted from Double-A Amarillo on May 19, when he had a 19-game hitting streak going. He hit safely in his first eight Triple-A games (27 straight overall) before finally going hitless on Saturday… former Rainiers and Mariners outfielder Braden Bishop is currently playing for Reno.

Spring/Summer 2017 Trend Report
There are nine key trends that I feel are worthy of mention for Spring 2017 — three colours, three materials, and three moods — each with the potential to run for the long term, and all combining to create an overall picture for the interiors mood for the first quarter of 2017. Here's the summary: the why, how and what!
Spring Trends: The colours @michelleogundehin Instagram moodboard
1 Plaster pink This is a colour that manages to be both feminine and masculine at the same time. It is a pale pink but with a touch of grey. Quiet, and yet bold. Soft but also strong. A delliberate colour (rather than a white-with-a-hint of shade), that will not overwhelm. It also works with everything, from woods to metallics, stone to concrete, which makes it superbly adaptable to many different spaces in your home. All good qualities for this particular moment in time. Freshly dried and untouched plaster is of course the purest form of the colour, but if a smoother, more polished finish is your heart's desire, then Farrow & Ball's Peignoir is this delicious shade ready-mixed in a tin.
2 Denim Blues Blue is a perennially popular colour, often cited as people's favourite, and of course teal, was my pick for colour of the year. But the blues I refer to here cover a wider range. This is more about the larger connotations of the colour than an individual shade, which is why I refer to it as 'Denim Blues'. Consider the cloth in all its varied tones, washed-out to indigo, bleached to faded. Consider its iconic status, and yet it's widespread availability. As such, when I think of 'Denim Blues' I also reference the easy care, relaxed but eternally chic, go anywhere, smart or casual, vibe of its namesake. And in fact, Dulux's colour of the year for 2017 was called Denim Drift, described as a colour that "works as well in a kitchen as it does in a bedroom." Which is exactly the point. This is another go anywhere, use anyhow shade. Because why have constraints at home.
3 Gorgeous Greens I've eulogised already about the power of green to uplift and enliven. It's not going away, and that's good, for it has the power to transform like no other shade of the spectrum. And again, it is wonderfully flexible, as I speak here of all greens, from delicate celadons to deepest fir hues. And of course, the natural variety, whether humble pot plant or a garden, from balcony to patio, vast lawns to postage stamps counts too; it doesn't matter, the important thing is simply to recognise the importance of regularly gazing upon green.
Summary This trio of colours is all about flexibility and adaptability to any room or situation. Want to cool a space down, then the greens and blues will work wonders. Need to warm a space up? Then combine the pinks and greens, yes really. It sounds unusual but it's our top tip colour combo. And of course, they'll also all work perfectly together too. Take the denim hues as your neutral, balance with the plaster pink and adorn abundantly with greenery. Perfect.
Spring Trends 2017: The Moods @michelleogundehin Instagram moodboard
4 Painterly Prints One of the key flavours of Spring is a new kind of pretty. Delicate, gentle and specifically, rendered as if in watercolour. These are patterns to inspire close-up inspection and incredulation. It is testament to the power of digital printing that many look as if the artist had literally just lain down their brushes. It's a version of 21st Century craft. All the look of the hand-done but brought to you instantly by the metre. Your only dilemma will be how to use them. Curtains might be a touch too much for most, but how about a tea towel? You know it makes sense.
5 Contemporary Craft This idea follows on from 'Painterly Prints'. This is about items that resonate with the hand of the maker. Things that feel individual, instead of one of many off a production line. It's about wobbly pots and irregular plates. Rough textures and wood that shows the marks of the lath or chisel. Things that look as if someone cared about their manufacture. But as above, today, many of these finishes can in fact be simulated by modern manufacturing methods; the one-off look pot may in fact be one of a batch. But the point is in how they feel, and the design language which defines them. The intent is there, and things that feel unique, if not authentic, are what we need to surround ourselves with right now.
6 Tattooed Textures This trend is the point at which 'Painterly Prints' and 'Contemporary Craft' coalesce. How? It is pattern for those that don't generally 'do' pattern, and it is texture with the look and feel of the handmade. I've called it 'Tattooed Textures' because the designs are generally pierced into the material concerned. Imagine hefty concrete planters punctured by a delicate dotting that traces filigree lines all over it's rough hewn surfaces. The point is the juxtaposition of a single surface finish with the enrichment of detail. It's not required, but it simply makes it prettier And that's not a word used often in design. But here it is welcome, necessary and important.
The summary The overall aesthetic is one of adornment. And a celebration of that adornment for the sake of it. It has no function but to delight the eye. And this moment is a recognition that perhaps that's actually the most important function of all.
The Materials
Spring Trends 2017: The Materials @michelleogundehin Instagram moodboard
7 Beautiful Brass Brass is really proving to be the long stayer of the metallics family. But the way in which it's used is changing. While it's still an absolutely glorious material to use for individual pots, lights and any other accessory, the new mode d'emploi is to position it to maximise its qualities of warmth. It is unique in being able to add a golden glow, think of it as a bolt of artificial sunshine in darker corners, or a lightening touch in unexpected places (see below, its genius use to line a wide doorway). Imagine it as a detail on everything from the trim on a kitchen cabinet, to a band of brass round a coaster or through a chopping board. You do it because it adds instant happiness to a space, not because its needed.
8 Modern Marble Marble has obviously been around since eternity, but many consider it rather out of their league for use in the home, perhaps regarding it still as the exclusive province of ancient Italian villas and expensive spas. But no more. Readily available with many a supplier able to cut from a selected slab, manufacture and install, suddenly the wealth of interiors opportunity is open to all. It also comes in the most extraordinary breadth of colours, and the majority of the stones possess a level of detail that verges on the poetic. And it's 100% natural to boot. What's not to love! Plus, I love the fact that marble is having a bit of a mainstream moment with large high street brands from Marks & Spencer to Sainsbury's offering marvellous small pieces at very competitive prices.
9 Mixed Metallics This is the concluding trend, as it epitomises the joie de vivre that is at play at the moment in interiors. The revelry in texture, the enthusiasm for some shimmer and shine and the willingness to mix it all together in a glorious soup of sophistication. Who says copper and gold don't go? Not us. And throw some extra-added texture onto that extractor hood too while you're at it.
This #trendreport2017 proves that just as the old saying 'blue and green should never be seen' is utter bunkum, so it is that many of the 'rules' we might have felt ought to apply to the decoration of our homes, are also being steadily overturned — use pink in a boy's room; use green indoors, consider blue as your new neutral! Store your toothbrush in a marble pot and tile a bedroom. Mix all your metallics and have tea-towels that look like paintings! The point is a loosening of any perceived constraints and a free-flowing of self-expression. And crucially, this is hand in hand with an industry that's working incredibly hard to keep pace with our evolving needs. Putting technology to excellent use, and helping us to believe that anything is possible. We really couldn't be in a better place.
