About Alisha
Shelton-Press-Release 2-27-2020
Shelton For Senate Press Release 3-36-2020
I'm running for U.S. Senate, because it's time that Nebraskans have a clear choice. We deserve representation that truly reflects Nebraska values. Economic opportunities across our state, strengthening trade in agriculture, strong families with access to quality healthcare, supporting our teachers, being good stewards of our environment, and fair pay—are Nebraska values. Join me in this movement, because every Nebraskan deserves a chance.
Alisha Shelton's first job was detasseling corn at age 13. Money was tight and she wanted to be a good example for her younger brother and sisters. As Alisha grew older, she became very active in the Omaha community eventually collaborating with community organizations to end gun violence, organizing advocacy days at the Unicameral, and hosting GOTV events to increase civic engagement in her community.
In addition to her community service, Alisha is a licensed independent mental health practitioner and licensed professional counselor. Alisha specializes in trauma informed care across the lifespan. She recently served as the Behavioral Health Clinical Supervisor for the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska. Previously, Alisha worked for Goodwill Industries, Rescare, Charles Drew Health Center, Heartland Family Service, and the Children's Respite Care Center.
Alisha is past president of the Omaha Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated and an active member her church.
Alisha has a Bachelor of Science in Psychology Pre-Medicine from Xavier University of Louisiana and two Masters of Science degrees from Bellevue University in Human Services and Clinical Counseling. She is married to Vincent Shelton and they have two dogs—Charlie and Snoopy.
If Alisha were in the U.S. Senate today, Alisha would introduce legislation that creates an emergency economic crisis agency and reinstates the global pandemic response team. The bill would waive all payments for COVID-19 testing and related procedures, recommend sheltering in place across our states, and increase social security with Medicaid expansion. Improve funding for SNAP, meals on wheels, and The Emergency Food Assistance Program (TEFAP). It would enact the department of defense resources, including the Medical Reserve Corps of 200,000 volunteer health professionals. Provide $2,000 monthly to all tax-payers, suspend student loans payments, and bring annual percentage rates to zero for the duration of this crisis. It would issue emergency paid family & medical leave for all, suspend evictions, and utilities shut-offs.
We need to bring love back to the our economy and serve people first!
Our economy is growing but everyday people aren't benefiting from the growth. Our students face a life of debt when they choose to further their education in hopes of greater economic opportunity. Farmers were once known as Nature's Scientist. Now farmers and businesses that rely on agriculture risk losing their livelihoods because of ineffective trade policies. Now is the time to address climate change, if we put this off, we risk facing new medical issues and natural disasters. Working families should be thriving rather than struggling to make ends meet.
We need to increase minimum wage to $15.00 as a start, then fund research to determine a livable income for working people.
HEALTHCARE ACCESS AND AFFORDABILITY
Healthcare access is necessary to maintain good health, prevent sickness, manage disease, and reduce premature death. Healthcare should be geographically accessible across the entire state. Rural Nebraskans should not have to wait weeks for a visit with a specialist. We need to bring more facilities to rural families. Healthcare is holistic, it should include treatment for mental health and substance use. As a mental health therapist, Alisha saw first-hand the need for mental health in-patient facilities, substance use treatment programs, and long-term care capabilities in Nebraska. We need a nationwide cap on prescriptions, especially in this pandemic.
Families should not fear out-of-control costs when they seek care, and seniors should not be worried about rising prescription drug costs.
Nearly three million children in our country witness gun violence every year and at age 12, Alisha was one of those children. Approximately 100 Americans are killed from guns every single day. One million women alive today have been shot or shot at by an intimate partner. Access to a gun in a domestic violence situation makes it 5 times more likely that a woman will be killed. Two-thirds of gun deaths are suicides, and in context, the U.S. gun suicide rate is 10 times that of other high-income countries.
It is beyond time that we use common sense to tackle this pandemic. As a responsible gun owner, Alisha will encourage manufactures to explore smart guns and expand background checks.

Q: Spherical Harmonics Interpolation I am interested in interpolation using spherical harmonics.
I feel like I searched all Google pages containing key words of this subject. Therefore I want to ask if anyone is familiar with this, and could recommend material to me (like papers, books or webpages) where I can read about this.
Thanks!

A: The last chapter or two of Dym and McKean's Fourier Series and Integrals addresses this to some degree, but it's heavy going.
In general, if you want to approximate a function $f: S^2 \subset \mathbb R^3 \to \mathbb R$ by a sum
$$
f(x, y, z) \approx \sum c_i h_i(x, y, z)
$$
you can find the coefficients $c_i$ by computing
$$
c_i = \int_{S^2} f(x, y, z) h_i(x, y, z) ~dA
$$
just as you compute Fourier coefficients by integrating over the circle. This works because the harmonics $h_i$ are an orthogonal set of functions (with respect to the inner product "integrate $fg$ over $S^2$"); you're really just doing orthogonal projections onto the axes of a subspace of the space of all integrable functions on the sphere.

Hanging our third National Championship banner was nothing short of a massive celebration here at Cornerstone. Students gathered in the Hansen Center to celebrate the third national championship for our men's basketball team.
But what was most remarkable about the Championship Celebration wasn't the school spirit or raving fans but the attitude of the winning team. Our men's basketball players were humbled and grateful, considering their victory a blessing. I was touched to hear some testimonies from these young men that night and am especially impressed with the way athletics gives our student athletes a chance to honor God—in the way they treat their team, the words they speak on the field and the way they handle both losses and victories.
There are two student athletes I'd like to introduce to you: Ty Mason, a graduating senior whose mom battled breast cancer during his junior year, and Brittany Murray, a women's track and field runner who earned the title of National Champion after enduring several physical difficulties.
Brittany Murray ('15)
"I am so thankful to be a part of this community because people here care about you on a deeper level other than class, sport, or work. The team is like a family unit that is supportive and present in the good times and the bad.
"I have had many obstacles with my injuries leading up to the indoor season, including a bulging disc in my lower back. There was a time it caused discouragement and doubt about what I could accomplish, but you never know what God can do through you. God has been with me through this entire journey, and I know things could have gone very differently.
"Being a champion of character in part means going out of your way to do the little things like encouraging a teammate and serving them in some way. It also encompasses being honest in the competition, and respecting the officials as well as the competitors. I try and keep a humble and grateful heart, and keep the perspective that at all times, no matter what the circumstances, win or lose, God is so good!"
Ty Mason ('15)
Point Guard—Men's Basketball
"I've told so many people there wasn't a better way I could have scripted my senior year. I was a kid when I got here. Now I've really grown up.
"My mom got cancer the second half of my junior year. It was a tough time for me. Trying to stay positive was the biggest obstacle. Basketball didn't seem that important to me at the time, but the team was there for me through all the ups and downs. On and off the court the court's been there for us.
"This season, my mom was finally cancer-free. It was a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. Things started going better for our team. We made it to the conference tournament, and people believed that maybe this was a possibility. Winning the Championship was so surreal. I don't think any of us could believe it. It's finally starting to sink in.
"I just think CU's community is unlike any other. It's cool to see the community come together and talk about faith and that's so special to me. Cornerstone has changed my life!"
Knowing our students are Champions of Character both on and off the field is just another reason why I love it here...

Wendy Williams Net Worth in 2013
One of the most outspoken women on television Wendy Williams has a career expanding over 3 decades. Her celebrity gossip and keep it real advice has garnered her millions of fans around the world. After 20 years on the radio the Queen of media is looking for another 20 on television. The Wendy Williams Show has been picked up through 2017. Ratings for the nationally syndicated show has shown steady growth in recent years. The deal also includes a rumored bump in her salary for $2 million a year plus bonuses and incentives based on network's ratings and performance. She continues to expand her brand with a jewelry and accessories line on QVC called Adorn. She is one of the few celebrities that actually wear their own line on and off the air. She has openly stated her weight is up and down but the "one thing that always stays true is her accessories." Williams also launched a wig line called "Wendy Williams Hair World". Her net worth is $15 million in 2013. So "How You Doin?"
The 5 foot 11 Williams was born in New Jersey. She got a proper education at Northeastern University in Boston. Before graduating with her Bachelor's in communications Wendy nurtured her skills hosting a radio show in college. In the 90's her career took off while she hosted an afternoon radio show on WRKS. She received a Billboard award "Best On-Air Radio Personality" in 1993. After the station was purchased by Emmis Broadcasting the station was formatted to Hot 97 but in 1998 she was fired. There were reports that Wendy had been in a fistfight with another female D.J which she herself denied. But it was later reported the rap mogul Diddy was responsible for her losing her job. She had stated that several rappers with a "macho personality" were gay insinuating some of the rappers happen to be Diddy and Tupac. Ouch!
Despite a host of celebrity enemies Wendy's fan base remained loyal and followed her throughout the rest of her radio career as she migrated from station to station. The Queen of Radio continued to bring a large audience to each of her stations. Her openness about her drug use, plastic surgery and celebrity mocking made her a star on 107.5. Television studios came knocking on her door including VH1. She hosted a limited series for the cable network called The Wendy Williams Experience which broadcast events surrounding her radio show. But in 2008 she left the medium that she cemented her career in for television.
The Wendy Williams show premiered in 2008 and after the test run, the show was picked up for a full season. The show has since been renewed through the 2016–2017 television season. Networks BET, Fox Broadcasting Company and The CW picked up the broadcasting rights to the show. In 2010 the show began airing outside of the United States in 20 countries on BET International. Her salary is $2 million a year plus bonuses and incentives based on the network's ratings.
She and her husband launched a production company called Wendy Williams Productions. Wendy and Kevin stated they will produce unscripted content, including reality television and game shows. Oxygen recently green lighted her series "Secret Celebrity". The show features stars in disguise as they surprise unsuspecting fans, friends and family. I hear celebrities who already have filmed episodes of the show include Nick Lachey, Ice-T & Coco. Her production company has also finished filming their first docu-reality series following Wendy on her 7 week run on the Broadway play Chicago. On top of all that Wendy also signed into a "production alliance" with producers Suzanne de Passe and Madison Jones to create movies and televisions show aimed at multicultural audiences. This has to be the busiest woman on television at the moment. With all of her roles it won't be long before she makes it on Forbes Celebrity 100 list.

En route to Chile, pope gives press this pic. Says, "I'm truly afraid"
I.Media for Aleteia - published on 01/15/18
"The fruits of war" is the chilling message accompany the tragic photo of a Japanese boy and his dead brother
Shortly before the papal plane took off for Chile today, a photo was distributed to journalists aboard the plane, at the request of Pope Francis. On the back of the photo is a message in the pope's handwriting that says simply, "The fruits of war."
This reproduction of a 1945 photograph shows a Japanese child in Nagasaki, after the atomic bomb was dropped August 9. The boy waits for his turn at a crematorium to leave the body of his dead brother, which is strapped to his back.
The photo was taken by American photographer Joseph O'Donnell. The pope distributed the photo at the Vatican before Christmas.
According to Vatican Insider, the pope told journalists present on the papal flight that he has been "touched" by this photo, found "by chance." The pope said he wanted to distribute the photo, because "a picture is more moving than a thousand words." And his fear of a nuclear war is real: "I'm truly afraid," he said. "We are at the limit; one incident would be enough. The situation must not be precipitated. We must eliminate nuclear weapons."

Govt Urged to Tap into Private Sector Innovations to Curb Road Carnage
By Joshua Nahamya | 120 Views | Updated On September 19th, 2019 at 12:31
Gree Mugerwa, the Executive Director LOTS Enterprises Uganda Ltd speaking to reporters.
Road experts are concerned with the increasing road accidents on Ugandan roads. They have faulted the Police traffic officers who are often times compromised by motorists who offer them bribes.
This was revealed on Tuesday by Gree Mugerwa, the Executive Director LOTS Enterprises Uganda Ltd, a private company working on explicating the 'Safe Road Eye' innovation.
"The 'Safe Road Eye' innovation is 15-year-old but the challenged had been Information Technology (IT) knowledge unlike today when it's creating a positive impact since technology is a bit improved and advanced," he said.
Mugerwa says without competent instructors in driving schools and certified training institutions, Uganda will continue to grapple with road carnage.
"Accidents seem to be the order of the day these days, we must push harder for change on the way we use our roads," he said
The expert with over 20-year experience on road traffic control, also expressed concern with the rate at which corruption has hampered road safety measures in Uganda.
"There are those express permits issued to the prominent people after handing in bribes and you ask yourself where we are heading," Mugerwa wondered.
He said the gaps in information remain a big challenge even on the part of Police, citing cases where Police fails to trace motorists after they have been involved in motor accidents.
"Even when there is an accident they [Police] will tell you that the driver is on the run because they don't have the details. We are saying, if we can help them with the Safe Road Eye, we can generate information to curtail road accidents".
"We need to bring road safety to the people so that people can be participants to use our Safe Road Eye innovation to report and reduce road accidents," Mugerwa added.
He said that due to the lack of trust in the Police as well as the judicial process, ordinary Ugandans have resorted to mob action on bad drivers. It is important that this trust is restored, he said.
Mugerwa appealed to government to partner with innovative players in the private sector in a bid to reduce accidents on road.
In May, 2019, Makerere university school of public health research found out that about 9,000 people perish in road traffic accidents annually in Uganda, three times higher than what was declared by the Police.
"Police indicated that at least 3,500 people have been dying in traffic road accidents annually in the past three years yet 85% of road accidents are caused by human behavior".
Road traffic injuries are among the leading causes of death and life-long disability globally especially among the motorists blamed on reckless riding.
The World Health Organization (WHO) reports that about 1.24 million people die annually on the world's roads, with 20-50 million sustaining non-fatal injuries.

I clubbell o indian clubs ("clave") sono una categoria di attrezzature popolare nel tardo XIX secolo e ad inizio del XX secolo, in Europa, nel Commonwealth britannico e negli Stati Uniti d'America. Sono a forma di birillo da bowling "club", di varie dimensioni e pesi ed usati in diversi programmi di allenamento. Potevano variare da poche libbre ciascuno, fino ai club speciali che possono pesare fino a 50 libbre. In Europa il peso è suddiviso in pezzature da 2 kg, 3 kg, 4 kg, 6 kg, 8 kg, 9 kg, 10 kg, 12 kg, 15 kg, 20 kg, peso che consente, grazie all'impugnatura, di poter essere utilizzato, sia ad una, che a due mani. Venivano usati, sia durante allenamenti di routine, che in unione ad altri esercizi di gruppo, guidate da un istruttore, posto davanti alla persona che eseguiva il movimento, esattamente come una lezione di moderna aerobica. Le routine variavano in base alle capacità del gruppo e il peso dei club utilizzati. Grazie a Sim D.Kehoe i clubbell indiani vennero esportati dall'Inghilterra agli Stati Uniti.

Diffusione
I Clubbel furono molto popolari durante il periodo della tarda Epoca vittoriana. Venivano principalmente utilizzati dai cadetti militari e dalle signore benestanti. Apparvero alle Olimpiadi come disciplina nel 1904 e nel 1932. Tra il 1900 ed il 1920 vennero poi costruite nuove palestre, solo per far fronte all'incremento di persone che desideravano esercitare tale pratica sportiva. Tra gli anni 20' e 30', con la maggior popolarità degli sport organizzati, il loro interesse iniziò a calare. Le routine regolamentate di esercizi, come quelle richieste dai club indiani, furono relegate ai soli atleti professionisti ed ai militari, gli unici in grado di avere accesso ad una strumentazione ed un addestramento più efficaci e più moderni.

Anche se le torce e altri oggetti sono stati da secoli utilizzati in giocoleria, i club moderni vennero ispirati dal club indiano, per la prima volta riproposti nel 1800 da DeWitt Cook.

Esercizi

Maneggiare una clava richiedeva capacità statiche che difficilmente si possono acquisire con i kettlebell, ma, che, una volta sviluppate, incrementano la forza generale, e fornire quella maggior abilità, sicuramente utile, a coloro che intendono avvicinarsi alle competizioni di girevoy, o ghiri-sport.

I Clubbells o Indian Club erano uno strumento ideale per aggiungere varietà al kettlebell training. Tale pratica migliorava lo sviluppo della spalla e la forza di presa. I movimenti circolari dei Clubbells offrirono enormi vantaggi in termini di flessibilità e nella prevenzione di infortuni alla spalla.

Oggi

Sono molti gli appassionati di fitness che hanno rilanciato la popolarità delle clave nei tempi moderni, citando l'esercizio aerobico e i vantaggi nella sicurezza, rispetto ai tradizionali allenamenti con i pesi liberi. Nei giorni nostri si trovano repliche nostalgiche dei clubbell originali fabbricati a fine '800. Con gli aggiornamenti dell'ingegneria moderna le Indian Clubs sono comunemente chiamate Clubbell.

1 'It's pretty much like what folks do in the housing market'
2 'Instead of beginning from zero and developing to a person, you might be starting at 5 and expanding to 10'
John Chen has bought and offered a variety of e-commerce sites utilizing Flippa.
He bought his initial business for $7,500 and resold it for $550,000 two several years later.
"It can be almost like what individuals do in the housing market," said Blake Hutchison, Flippa's CEO.
John Chen, 31, has taken an unconventional method to e-commerce entrepreneurship. Rather than start a immediate-to-client manufacturer from scratch, he is acquired little online businesses, grown their profits, and then resold them.
About 4 many years back, he used Flippa, a marketplace for getting and providing online organizations, to get a jewelry business called Blush and Bar for about $7,500. Two years afterwards, Chen said, he'd developed sales to about $1 million in earnings, and he offered the enterprise for $550,000, once again working with Flippa to full the transaction.
He utilised those proceeds to buy a marriage ceremony-gifts organization, which he purchased for $20,000 and then resold for $40,000, and then Posh Shoppe, an clothing shop for moreover-dimensions gals that he bought for $60,000. Posh Shoppe did practically $2 million in gross sales in 2021, which Insider confirmed working with screenshots that Chen provided. Chen claimed the keep was undertaking about $10,000 to $20,000 a thirty day period in income when he bought it in the summer of 2020. Chen has also hired 6 individuals to operate the enterprise.
Chen said he turned fascinated in flipping e-commerce storefronts right after functioning as an investment analyst at a hedge fund. Portion of his task was investing in search money, which give money to business people to get compact corporations and develop them.
He made a decision he wanted to do the exact point but on a lesser scale. Which is when he turned to Flippa to come across a organization to buy.
"I failed to have an MBA. I failed to have investors. I did not have any of that," Chen mentioned.
So much, all of the enterprises he's acquired run on Shopify. His principal system for boosting sales was as a result of Facebook advertising, but he's also explored e-mail, SMS, and
influencer advertising and marketing
"It was just a huge understanding procedure of e-commerce," he reported. "You can find tons of ways to develop e-commerce organizations, lots of distinctive channels. And we experimented with a whole lot of them."
'It's pretty much like what folks do in the housing market'
Launched in 2009, Flippa is an on-line marketplace exactly where people today can obtain and offer online firms. This contains e-commerce apps and Amazon sellers as well as on line suppliers driven by Shopify, BigCommerce, Wix, WooCommerce, and the like.
Flippa is in Australia, but 50% of its enterprise is in the US. Shopify suppliers account for about 50 % of Flippa's transactions, mentioned Blake Hutchison, the company's CEO. The common Shopify shop for sale on Flippa is about 3 to 5 decades old and generates about $250,000 in yearly sales.
Flippa isn't the only marketplace where by Shopify store owners can glance to money in. Shopify has its own exchange for acquiring and providing suppliers, and firms these kinds of as MicroAcquire and Empire Flippers supply comparable providers.
Flippa sees almost 20,000 new customers on its system each month, Hutchison mentioned. He said he sees diverse types of buyers on Flippa.
Blake Hutchison, Flippa's CEO.
Flippa
Some are serial entrepreneurs who want to consider on the obstacle of building up a enterprise ahead of in the long run reselling it.
"It truly is a classic circumstance of obtaining, investing, renovating, and then promoting it again," Hutchison claimed. "It's virtually like what people do in the housing sector, though obviously the operations of a business enterprise are a little bit extra nuanced."
Organizations these types of as Thrasio, which purchase and roll up Amazon sellers, also at times use Flippa to come across acquisition targets, Hutchison said.
Though Thrasio has faced its have struggles in recent months, the Amazon aggregator room is crowded, with some players boosting billions in funding to get 3rd-social gathering Amazon sellers.
There usually are not as quite a few companies focusing on Shopify suppliers, but action in the space is heating up. OpenStore, a startup that makes algorithm-produced provides to receive Shopify retailers, has raised more than $100 million considering that launching last yr. It has obtained 40 manufacturers so considerably and strategies to continue to keep up the rate.
'Instead of beginning from zero and developing to a person, you might be starting at 5 and expanding to 10'
For Chen, making use of Flippa to acquire and sell on line firms gave him an entry into the world of entrepreneurship. He'd experimented with starting up DTC models just before but experienced struggled to get them off the floor. Getting an current company helped him avoid having to determine out a clear item-industry in shape, he mentioned.
"It receives really discouraging if you really don't have any sales or you don't get any traction," he stated. "When you invest in a enterprise, you already have a little something that is there, so it is really a great deal less difficult to imagine that you can do it."
Hutchison claimed that is a typical attract for Flippa buyers.
"Instead of setting up from zero and growing to 1, you happen to be starting at five and developing to 10," Hutchison mentioned. "You've received all of the traction, all of the vitality and enthusiasm that's appear from creating that manufacturer before your time."
Chen owns Posh Shoppe.
Posh Shoppe
When it comes to selecting what shops he desires to acquire, Chen stated he appears for merchandise that provoke an psychological response from prospects — and avoids commodity products.
"The instance I generally use is a stapler," he explained. "If you wanted to acquire anything that was like a chair or a stapler, you would just go on Amazon and look for for it. I required to be far more in the organization of a thing that failed to lend itself to lookup."
But Chen stated he was no longer on the lookout for a "speedy flip" and desired to hold on to Posh Shoppe for now.
"I believe in the beginning, I bought into it — like a good deal of business people do — to get particular independence or to deliver prosperity," Chen reported. "I've acquired that it truly is going to be a sluggish procedure and a difficult process no subject what, so you could as properly love it and produce worth for other individuals in the extensive term."
"I consider it is just far better to emphasis on making a sustainable organization that individuals really like, that customers rave about, and that men and women will notify their friends about."

Overall I had an amazing experience! I had a great time when I went the first year and an even better time the second year! The second year went a lot smoother, it felt like we got to do more, and the group bonded a lot more. We all especially loved working at the school and getting to know the students.
-this was such an amazing experience! My only complaint is that the our activities were very disorganized. Most of time, no one had any idea where they were supposed to be teaching, or if they weren't teaching, what project they working on. Within the activities too, we didn't know what we were supposed to be teaching or how we supposed to conduct the project.
Ideas for at the School: I think we should have made, on the plane or before we got to Fabindia, a "curriculum" of things to teach the students or a list of possible activities (i.e. going over English plurals of nouns, or playing hangman or pictionary). When we left we felt like we hadn't really taught them that much English so I think more organization would really help.
When I went to Morocco last summer, my tripmates and I brought pictures of our family members and places back home to show our host families and the children at the school. Since Fabindia students were very curious about America, it would be nice if LC students come maybe bring some pictures.
Also, since, LC students are curious about India it would be nice if we could spend more time with the students/their families. Visiting Shaily and Shefali's house was so much fun, but it was the only non-hotel or non-restaurant I'd stayed at in India. Could we maybe split the Loomis students into groups and have them eat lunch in the home of a Fabindia family one day?
The Dance: We LOVED learning the dance the girls taught us and performing it! Since they spent so much time teaching us, I think we could teach them some form of American dance. Maybe like the cotton-eye-joe or something simple and fun?
We went to the fabindia store a lot but it would nice if we could have gone to more markets and spent more time in the crafts/co op store we went to in Delhi.
I apologize for this being such a long email, but since I went on the trip twice (and really enjoyed it) I have a lot to say!

Robert Cox Merton (born July 31, 1944) is an American economist, Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences laureate, and professor at the MIT Sloan School of Management, known for his pioneering contributions to continuous-time finance, especially the first continuous-time option pricing model, the Black–Scholes–Merton model. In 1993 Merton co-founded hedge fund Long-Term Capital Management.

In 1997 Merton together with Myron Scholes were awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for the method to determine the value of derivatives.

Merton's current research focus is on the topics of lifecycle investing and retirement funding, measuring and monitoring systemic risks in macrofinance, and financial innovation coupled with changing dynamics in financial institutions.

Biography
Merton was born in New York City to a Jewish father sociologist Robert K. Merton and mother Suzanne Carhart, who was from a "multigenerational southern New Jersey Methodist/Quaker family." He grew up in Hastings-on-Hudson, NY. He earned a Bachelor of Science in Engineering Mathematics from the School of Engineering and Applied Science of Columbia University, a Masters of Science from the California Institute of Technology, and his doctorate in economics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1970 under the guidance of Paul Samuelson. He then joined the faculty of the MIT Sloan School of Management, where he taught until 1988. Subsequently, Merton moved to Harvard University, where he was George Fisher Baker Professor of Business Administration from 1988 to 1998. He was the John and Natty McArthur University Professor from 1998-2010. He rejoined the MIT Sloan School of Management in 2010 when he went Emeritus.

Career

Robert C. Merton is the School of Management Distinguished Professor of Finance at the MIT Sloan School of Management. He is Resident Scientist at Dimensional Fund Advisors, where he developed a next-generation integrated pension-management solution system that addresses deficiencies associated with traditional defined-benefit and defined-contribution plans. Merton is University Professor Emeritus at Harvard University. He was the George Fisher Baker Professor of Business Administration (1988–98) and John and Natty McArthur University Professor (1998–2010) at the Harvard Business School. He previously served on the finance faculty of the Sloan School from 1970 until 1988. Merton received the Alfred Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences in 1997 for a new methodology to value derivatives. He is past President of the American Finance Association, a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. He holds honorary degrees from eighteen universities.

Merton's research focuses on finance theory including lifecycle finance, optimal intertemporal portfolio selection, capital asset pricing, pricing of options, risky corporate debt, loan guarantees, and other complex derivative securities. He has also written on the operation and regulation of financial institutions. Merton's current academic interests include financial innovation and dynamics of institutional change, controlling the propagation of macro financial risk, and improving methods of measuring and managing sovereign risk. He is the author of Continuous-Time Finance, and a co-author of Cases in Financial Engineering: Applied Studies of Financial Innovation and The Global Financial System: A Functional Perspective; Finance; and Financial Economics. Merton was a founding co-editor of the Annual Review of Financial Economics, serving from 2009 to 2021.

Merton has also been recognized for translating finance science into practice. He received the inaugural Financial Engineer of the Year Award from the International Association of Financial Engineers in 1993, which also elected him a senior fellow. Derivatives Strategy magazine named him to its Derivatives Hall of Fame as did Risk magazine to its Risk Hall of Fame. He also received Risk's Lifetime Achievement Award for contributions to the field of risk management. A distinguished fellow of the Institute for Quantitative Research in Finance ('Q Group') and a fellow of the Financial Management Association, Merton received the Nicholas Molodovsky Award from the CFA Institute.

His first professional association with a hedge fund came in 1968. His advisor at the time, Paul Samuelson, brought him on board Arbitrage Management Company (AMC), to join founder Michael Goodkin and chief executive Harry Markowitz. AMC is the first known attempt at computerized arbitrage trading. After a successful run as a private hedge fund, AMC was sold to Stuart & Co. in 1971. In 1993, Merton co-founded a hedge fund, Long-Term Capital Management, which earned high returns for four years but later lost $4.6 billion in 1998 and was bailed out by a consortium of banks and closed out in early 2000.

The General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, Rev. Dr Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong, has called on Ghanaians not to allow people to hide behind religion to perpetrate criminal acts. "If Ghanaians will not allow politicians to destroy this country, they should not allow religious leaders to destroy this country," he asserted.
The outspoken clergyman was contributing to the topic "Who Brings the Preacher to Book in Ghana" on Joy FM's Christian talk show, 'A Walk with Jesus' Sunday evening.
His comments came on the heels of the recent 'misconduct' of some Christian leaders. Quite recently, some 'men of God' have exchanged verbal attacks, with one issuing death threats.
He stressed that in the past people had used religion to destroy countries, but such people must not be allowed to have their way in Ghana.
"when pastors break the law, the law must take its course," he affirmed.

Our ESG Work
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) sits at the heart of governance and, for the Institute, embraces a commitment to our employees, members, graduates and students as well as professional network and wider community. Being ethical and sustainable is an imperative in the rapidly changing social and business environment.
Thought Leadership and Training
The Institute organised a Climate Change Conference in January 2022 at which the Government, regulators, investors and industry practitioners, came together and provided our members and other stakeholders with insights as to the macro developments on standard setting, financial and regulatory reporting in relation to climate change. This along with the regular CPD training and guidance notes provided by the Institute, as well as the thought leadership research papers published by the Institute, we have contributed significantly to the promotion of ESG best practice in Hong Kong and the Mainland.
Workplace quality
Having a quality workplace culture is essential, not only for heightened productivity and motivation in our professional lives, but also for its proven benefits in our personal lives. The Institute encourages a good working environment for our staff, including through regular cross-departmental gatherings, as well as ongoing training sessions to improve technical knowledge and soft skills.
The Institute was accredited with the Good Employer Charter 2020, organised by the Labour Department of Hong Kong, which acknowledges our good human resource management over a two-year period. In fiscal 2021, we were delighted to be presented with an Equal Opportunity Employer (Gender Equality) award from the Equal Opportunities Commission of Hong Kong, for our commitment to promoting equal opportunities and eliminating all forms of discrimination. Additionally, the Institute has received the Good MPF Employer 5 Years+ and the MPF Support Award for 2020–2021 from the Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) Schemes Authority – of whom we are a 'Supporting Organisation' – for our efforts to enhance the retirement protection of our employees.
As an environmentally conscious organisation, we evaluate and update our eco practices and initiatives on a continuing basis, and make efforts to boost the environmental awareness of our staff, members, graduates and students, through such activities as our ESG seminars and webinars.
The 'reuse, reduce, recycle and replace' principle is embedded in our workplace culture. We use recycled paper and double-sided printing as a matter of course throughout the office, and have to a great extent replaced hard-copy printing with electronic communication, including with members, graduates and students. In fiscal 2020, we arranged for our annual renewal notices and receipts to be sent exclusively by email, and enrolments for seminars and activities became available online, while in fiscal 2021 we launched online applications for student registration, exemptions and examinations, thus further minimising our resource consumption.
More subscribers are opting for the e-version of our monthly journal, CSj, instead of a print version. As of 30 June 2021, the e-version was being sent to 6,125 readers – including students, who now no longer receive hard copies – representing a 36% increase from fiscal 2020, saving paper and time, while adding convenience.
To help cut the use of electricity, our average office temperature is fixed at between 24°C and 26°C. We also regularly participate in Earth Hour, the annual initiative of WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature), and invite our members, graduates and students to do the same. The Institute's Hong Kong Secretariat and Beijing offices turned off all lights on 27 March 2021 from 8.30pm to 9.30pm as a sign of our support.
Our Community Service Core Group, under the Membership Committee, is responsible for organizing the Institute's community service activities. Formed in February 2020, this group is run by our Secretariat team, in conjunction with members, graduates and students, all of whom are dedicated to contributing to the community, and to generating new initiatives and a wider involvement. Despite this heartfelt commitment, serving our community was a challenge in fiscal 2021, with the suspension of social gatherings due to Covid-19. Nevertheless, we found innovative ways to continue our support of the community. Because in-person visits were cancelled, we took part in a 'caring telephone calls for the elderly' event for the Mid-Autumn Festival in September 2020, in collaboration with St James' Settlement, and participated in a number of online campaigns, including Pink Together 2020, for which we also helped pack goody bags, to benefit the Hong Kong Breast Cancer Foundation, and Dress Pink Day 2021, in support of the Hong Kong Cancer Fund. For our online Governance Professionals Career Day in March 2021, we offered a number of free places to students from the Holy Family Canossian College, under the Business-School Partnership Programme of The Hong Kong General Chamber of Commerce.
We are pleased to announce that, in recognition of our CSR efforts in caring for the community, our employees, other stakeholders and the environment, the Institute was awarded the Caring Organisation Logo under The Hong Kong Council of Social Service's 2020/2021 Caring Company Scheme.

The competence group Email of eco - Association of the Internet Industry is a technically oriented, closed working group. Three meetings a year are held to discuss the current problems and challenges in the operation of infrastructure for sending and receiving e-mails.
Would you like to join us? Please feel free to contact us!
In addition to the competence group Email, eco offers the competence group Online Marketing as well as the service of the Certified Senders Alliance.
While email is still very much alive and kicking, spam and phishing mails continue to annoy recipients and damage the reputation of email as a medium. This is where self-regulation comes into play. How this can work will be a focal topic of the Certified Senders Alliance's email expert gathering at the CSA Summit in Cologne.
Patrick Koetter, Leader of the eco Competence Groups Email and Anti-Abuse, explains in interview the burning topic for him at M3AAWG in San Francisco.
29.10.2018 is World Internet Day. With the Internet, email began its triumphal ascent in the 1990s. Today, 280 billion emails are sent every day by people all over the world.


Whatsapp is rolling on to new features very rapidly, it's not been so long from the time we have witnessed the new group setting feature and now again WhatsApp is up with the blend of features. No doubt, why it is the most popular messaging application around the globe.
Not just its user-friendly interface is famous but the rapid offerings of new dynamic features are something which keeps it on the top. It has been continuously spotted making changes on both iOS and Android Platforms.
We have always wondered about saving a number before making a Whatsapp. Even for a single WhatsApp text, we need to save a number even when we don't want to do that. Well not anymore, WhatsApp has come with the solution. "Click to Chat", the feature is visible in Whatsapp's beta version.
From a long time, WhatsApp is planning to add this another interesting feature which will allow the user to make group audio calls. The feature is similar to what we have now. However, how many people can be a part of it is still unknown.
Moreover, WhatsApp is planning to add the features in which user will collectively able to mark the text read/unread.
The feature is already available on iOS as well as the Android beta version. The update is quite unique and important as it will allow the user to decide whether they want WhatsApp media to be displayed in the gallery or not.
Not just this WhatsApp is looking forward to adding much more features which are still nowhere in news. The new features can include the features related to New account information, improvements in the group voice and video callings etc.
For more information regarding latest updates, stay tuned to our website.

Reverse Mortgage Solutions, Inc. v. Ronald G. Lawrence Jr.
Robertson, Anschutz, Schneid, Crane & Partners, PLLC, Westbury (Edward Rugino of counsel), for appellant. Law Office of Ellen S. Ross, Johnstown (Ellen S. Ross of counsel), for respondent. Appeal from an order of the Supreme Court (Kupferman, J.), entered September 5, 2019 in Fulton County, which granted defendant Ronald G. Lawrence Jr.'s motion to, among other things, vacate a judgment of foreclosure and sale. In 2012, defendant Ronald G. Lawrence Jr. (hereinafter defendant) executed a home equity conversion mortgage, also known as a reverse mortgage, to secure a note for a maximum principal amount of $120,000. The terms required defendant to pay all taxes and other charges on the mortgaged property and provided that, should he fail to do so, the lender could make the payments and, with the approval of the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development, require immediate payment in full. Defendant failed to pay certain taxes on the property and, in 2015, plaintiff, the assignee of the mortgage, made the required payments and accelerated payment of the entire debt. Plaintiff then commenced this action to foreclose on the mortgage and, upon defendant's default, obtained a judgment of foreclosure and sale in 2018. The ensuing referee's sale ended with plaintiff purchasing the property as the highest bidder. Defendant thereafter moved to, among other things, vacate the judgment of foreclosure and sale and set aside the referee's deed. After hearing oral argument on the motion, Supreme Court (J. Sise, J.) rendered a decision from the bench in which it determined that defendant was entitled to vacatur and restored the matter to the trial calendar. Plaintiff appeals from the written order of Supreme Court (Kupferman, J.) effectuating that decision. We affirm. First, Supreme Court and the parties primarily addressed defendant's motion as one to vacate a default pursuant to CPLR 5015 (a) (1), which requires defendant "to establish a reasonable excuse for the default and the existence of a meritorious defense" (Qiang Tu v. Li Shen, 190 AD3d 1125, 1126 [2021]; see Bank of N.Y. v. Richards, 192 AD3d 1228, 1229 [2021]). A request for vacatur under CPLR 5015 (a) (1) may also be deemed as one pursuant to CPLR 317, however, which does not demand a reasonable excuse for the default and entitles the moving party to vacatur within a year of learning of the entry of a judgment where he or she was not personally served with process, did not receive notice of the action in time to defend and has a meritorious defense (see CPLR 317; Eugene Di Lorenzo, Inc. v. A.C. Dutton Lbr. Co., 67 NY2d 138, 142-143 [1986]; Gonzalez v. City of New York, 65 AD3d 569, 570 [2009]; Executive Motor Car v. Allen, 211 AD2d 871, 871-872 [1995]; Pena v. Mittleman, 179 AD2d 607, 609-610 [1992]). Defendant here was not personally served with process, but the record contains an affidavit of service that constitutes prima facie evidence that he was properly served via personal delivery of the summons and complaint to his roommate and mailing of an additional copy to him (see CPLR 308 [2]; Cotter v. Dukharan, 110 AD3d 1331, 1332-1333 [2013]). He denied learning about the action from his roommate, and his roommate averred that she had never told him about receiving the summons and complaint (compare McCord v. Larsen, 132 AD3d 1115, 1117 [2015], with Bedessee Imports, Inc. v. Najjar, 170 AD3d 640, 641 [2019]). Nevertheless, the affidavit of service also "created a presumption of proper mailing and of receipt," and that presumption was not overcome by defendant's broader, bare assertion that he lacked notice (Cavalry Portfolio Servs., LLC v. Reisman, 55 AD3d 524, 525 [2008]; see Engel v. Lichterman, 62 NY2d 943, 944-945 [1984]; C&H Import & Export, Inc. v. MNA Global, Inc., 79 AD3d 784, 785-786 [2010]). Defendant therefore failed to establish that he had either the reasonable excuse for default required by CPLR 5015 (a) (1) or the lack of notice of the action required by CPLR 317 (see Bedessee Imports, Inc. v. Najjar, 170 AD3d at 641-642; Cotter v. Dukharan, 110 AD3d at 1333). Having said that, we nonetheless conclude that Supreme Court properly granted the relief requested. It is well established that both the trial court and this Court have inherent power to vacate a "judgment[] 'for sufficient reason and in the interests of substantial justice'" beyond the grounds set forth in CPLR 5015 (State of New York v. Moore, 179 AD3d 1162, 1162-1163 [2020], quoting Woodson v. Mendon Leasing Corp., 100 NY2d 62, 68 [2003]; accord Matter of Braunstein, 194 AD3d 1165, 1166 [2021]; see State of New York Mtge. Agency v. Braun, 182 AD3d 63, 78 [2020]). Whether to vacate a prior order or judgment "is addressed to the court's 'sound discretion, subject to reversal only where there has been a clear abuse of that discretion'" (Pritchard v. Curtis, 101 AD3d 1502, 1503 [2012], quoting Maddux v. Schur, 53 AD3d 738, 739 [2008]; see Matter of Braunstein, 194 AD3d at 1166). Further, "[i]n exercising its discretion, the . . . court should 'consider the facts of the particular case, the equities affecting each party and others affected by the judgment or order, and the grounds for the requested relief'" (Nash v. Port Auth. of N.Y. & N.J., 22 NY3d 220, 226 [2013], quoting 10 Weinstein-Korn-Miller, NY Civ Prac 5015.03; see Hodge v. Development at Helderberg Meadows, LLC, 114 AD3d 1122, 1123 [2014]). Defendant points out that the mortgage affords him, with certain exceptions that are not relevant here, the right to correct the conditions that caused acceleration of the entire debt and, "even after foreclosure proceedings are instituted," obtain reinstatement of the mortgage. The mortgage further specifies that defendant is not required to immediately pay the foreclosure expenses prior to obtaining reinstatement, as such would be added to the loan principal secured by the mortgage. Defendant was, in other words, entitled to reinstatement under the mortgage by doing nothing more than repaying plaintiff the approximately $3,100 in property taxes that it had paid.[1] Plaintiff failed to alert defendant of that fact after it accelerated the debt, however, instead warning him that it would bring suit unless he paid the full amount owed of over $64,000. Thereafter, when defendant became aware that a foreclosure judgment had been entered in this action, plaintiff responded to defendant's efforts to serve an answer and complain about plaintiff's conduct by stressing its right to accelerate the entire debt, declining to mention defendant's right of reinstatement and failing to engage with his attempts to negotiate a resolution. We fully agree with Supreme Court that the foregoing presents "unique" and compelling circumstances – and, indeed, suggests that plaintiff engaged in the sort of "bad faith, fraud, oppressive or unconscionable conduct" that would warrant preventing it from foreclosing upon the mortgage – and the interests of substantial justice will therefore be served by vacating the foreclosure judgment and sale and affording defendant the opportunity to either obtain reinstatement of the mortgage or raise such defenses "by answer where they may be decided after trial and full hearing of all the evidence by the trial court" (Ferlazzo v. Riley, 278 NY 289, 292 [1938]; see Lubitz v. Vighneswana Capital Group, 79 AD2d 983, 985-986 [1981]; see also River Bank Am. v. Daniel Equities Corp., 213 AD2d 929, 930 [1995]). Thus, Supreme Court did not abuse its sound discretion in vacating the judgment of foreclosure and setting aside the referee's sale. Clark, Aarons, Pritzker and Reynolds Fitzgerald, JJ., concur. ORDERED that the order is affirmed, with costs.

His badly cut hands swathed in bandages, 12-time funny-car champion John Force showed no signs of letting go of his consecutive-events record Thursday by taking the provisional No. 1 starting position for the Auto Club NHRA Finals at Pomona Raceway.
Driving in his 322nd consecutive National Hot Rod Assn. national event, the former truck driver from Yorba Linda covered the quarter-mile racing strip in his Castrol Mustang in 4.771 seconds at 321.65 mph.
Force cut both hands nine days ago when a crystal trophy he was holding splintered when he put it down. It took 40 stitches to sew up one slash.
"I know I told a lot of people I wouldn't be driving, but after spending three days in bed and getting pampered by my girls, I decided I better get back to work," a subdued Force said. "The cuts are on my palms, so I drove my hot-rod with my fingertips and it ran perfectly."
Right after Force qualified, newly crowned funny car champion Tony Pedregon and his chief challenger, Whit Bazemore, took a shot at Force's time. Both fell short, Bazemore running 4.802 and Pedregon 4.832.
Another qualifying session today and two on Saturday will set the 16-car pro fields for Sunday's eliminations.
Top-fuel driver Cory McClenathan gave the surprisingly large Thursday crowd a thrill when his parachutes failed to open at the end of a 327-mph run. He ran through the sand trap and into the netting before the 300-inch vehicle flipped on its side.
"Neither parachute came out, and I tried to save the car by turning it over to prevent damage to the nose," he said after climbing from the wreckage.
"It looks like we accomplished that, and the car didn't sustain too much damage."
Shirley Muldowney, in the final event of her 30-year career driving nitro dragsters, qualified seventh in 4.664 seconds at 320.20 mph and appeared safely in the field.
Top fuel's hottest driver, Tony Schumacher, took the No. 1 spot at 4.497 seconds and immediately said he expected the top speed to be 4.45 before Saturday's time trials were over. Schumacher has won three of the last six events.
Greg Anderson, who has already clinched the pro stock crown, was fastest with an impressive 4.786 clocking.
In the only pro category with the championship undecided, Craig Treble was a surprise leader in pro stock bike at 7.119 on his Suzuki. Geno Scali, who has a narrow lead over Angelle Savoie, was second. Savoie was seventh.
For The Record Los Angeles Times Saturday November 08, 2003 Home Edition Main News Part A Page 2 News Desk 1 inches; 35 words Type of Material: Correction Motor racing -- Greg Anderson's time in pro stock qualifying at the Auto Club NHRA Finals in Pomona on Thursday was 6.786 seconds, not 4.786 seconds as was incorrectly reported in a Sports article Friday.

On This Day - 23rd November


Sweet smooth cherry cream with a hint of almond... chewy, nutty crumble... juicy cherry puree... and a few token peaches for color and extra taste. What's not to like?
Here's another use for the crumble topping from my last post. Can you tell that I like it? lol. I like to set aside just a bit of the crumble to use in a few parfaits because there's more than enough to cover an 8x8" dish. I love a versatile recipe. In this case I can use the crumble as a topping, layered in a parfait, and as a cheesecake crust (with just a touch more water added).
I think this was the last bag of cherries I have bought for the summer so I had to put it to delicious use. Besides many a handful, I turned the cherries into a sweet puree - half for this recipe below, and the rest into the freezer for winter use. I like to freeze fresh fruit in the summer so that I don't always have to buy it frozen in the cold months.
Blend all but the butter and oil in a high speed blender until smooth.
Add the last two ingredients. Blend again to incorporate.
Blend just over 1 cup cherries on the lowest speed in a high speed blender (not sure how it would work in a regular blender).
Pour into a bowl and pick out the pits.
Pour back into the blender and blend again (doesn't have to be smooth but must be pit free).
*Alternatively, pit each cherry and then puree briefly in a blender or food processor.
Layer the cherry pudding with cherry puree, and crumble topping (or chopped nuts). Almonds would be nice here to compliment the almond extract in the pudding.
I have all the ingredients! Yesssss!
Hello!<br />Help..What's the difference between coconut oil and coconut butter? I thought they were the same.


--- There is no expiration of position at the wholly owned regional company.
Some meal. Guess you missed the part about the multiple THOUSANDS of retirements at AA over the next 10 years alone.
Guess you didn't read my previous comment that you quoted. I personally don't think AA is going to furlough.
I do find it interesting that APA wants these clauses in their contract though.
This would seem to require agreement of other carriers pilots unions. I can't see forced hijacking of other pilots legal flying a tenable position among other non-regional and regional pilots. In the past, it required negotiation and agreement (flawed as it was). APA will be asking for a lot of things and each thing asked will have a price tag attached (valuation). AA management will also be asking for things and so to get X or a bunch of X's, it will require relinquishment of some Y's in return.
Of course, if AA is forced to file BK or believes doing so will result in more potential rewards for the possible risks, then APA loses most of what little leverage they now have. I haven't heard this, but this sounds like a real Hail Mary. The present stock price is in the upper 30's and started in the low 20's after the most recent BK. Protecting shareholder value would be paramount and depending on how a restructured AA and Eagle system was accomplished, it could actually provide a better ROI for stockholders vs. saddled with huge debt and hamstrung on cost/revenue generation. The next AA BK might just be a pre-planned phase II that was kept on ice to use when needed. All that's left is the catalyst.
Substantially less meaning under certain circumstances.
APA has looked over the past and is attempting to shore up as many past holes as possible. This in particular has a political consideration. Asking for something though is not the same as getting it. Fact is, APA has little little leverage and timing might just end up a component that is at its worst for them. Clearly AA doesn't have a lot of excess cash to pay pilots more and would be wise to conserve and be cautious and frugal given the view out the front windshield. Oh and they'll need a lot of luck too. APA on the other hand needs a miracle.
Easy way to staff a regional airline, and get FO's with experience.
Been there, done that. Be careful junior Captains, you will go back to FO seat with a pay cut and could end up in another base.
I don't see a Furlough, retirements alone will be enough to right size the airline, if need it. This will slow hiring down, just like they are delaying the deliveries of new planes. Only time will tell.

APA pushes for this, you can guarantee scope change up to 120 configuration and 130k plus weight.
Dont forget APA was bought by this management before.
