Some scenarios that fall under professional liability insurance for architects and engineers included specifying the wrong building materials, constructions site slip-and fall claims or disputes over billing when the project is done.

No matter if you are solo consulting engineer or the managing principal in an architectural firm with hundreds of employees, the unique work do and clients you serve requires specialized professional liability insurance from an experienced insurance provider.
Professional liability insurance for architects and engineers is more critical in today litigious society.
Your general business insurance will not cover lawsuits for negligence in performing professional services.
In most cases, if you are providing a service such as plans for a new building or advice on how to solve a structural, you need professional insurance to cover mistakes, problems with the finished product or disagreements in payment, among other actions. in many instances, you need professional liability insurance as part of your contract or agreements for work.
Most trade associations, such as the National Society of Professional Engineers, American Council of Engineering Companies and the American Institute of Architects, strongly encourages its members and members' firms to take a proactive approach to protecting their business through specialized professional liability insurance.

# Get Started

If you use [POSTMAN](https://www.getpostman.com) or similar program which can operate with swagger`s files - just [download](https://docs.openfintech.io) our spec and [import it](https://www.getpostman.com/docs/importing_swagger). Also you can try live [API demo](https://api.openfintech.io).

## Overview

The OpenFinTech API is organized around [REST](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Representational_state_transfer). Our API has predictable, resource-oriented URLs, and uses HTTP response codes to indicate API errors.

API is based on [JSON API](http://jsonapi.org) standard. JSON is returned by all API responses, including errors, although our API libraries convert responses to appropriate language-specific objects.

JSON API requires use of the JSON API media type (`application/vnd.api+json`) for exchanging data.

### Additional Request Headers
#### ACCEPT HEADER
Your requests should always include the header:
```curl
Accept: application/vnd.api+json
```

## Authentication

To use OpenFinTech API no needed authorization.

## Versioning

When we make changes to the API, we release new, dated versions. The current version is **2017-08-24**. Read our [API upgrades guide]() to see our API changelog and to learn more about backwards compatibility.

## Pagination

OpenFinTech APIs to retrieve lists of banks, currencies and other resources - paginated to **100** items by default. The pagination information will be included in the list API response under the node name `meta` - contains information about listed objects [`total` - contains information about total count of listed objects, `pages` - count of pages], `links` - contain links to navigate between pages [`first` - link to first page, `prev` - link to previous page, `next` - link to next page, `last` - link to last page].

By default first page will be listed. For navigating through pages, use the page parameter (e.g. `page[number]`, `page[size]`).

The `page[size]` parameter can be used to set the number of records that you want to receive in the response.

The `page[number]` parameter can be used to set needed page number.

Example of response:
```json
{
  "meta": {
    "total": 419,
    "pages": 42
  },
  "links": {
    "first": "/v1/{path}?page[number]=1&page[size]=10",
    "prev": "/v1/{path}?page[number]=39&page[size]=10",
    "next": "/v1/{path}?page[number]=41&page[size]=10",
    "last": "/v1/{path}?page[number]=42&page[size]=10"
  }
```

### Sorting

OpenFinTech\`s API supported query parameter to sort result collection [e.g. `?sort=code`]. Information about available parameters may be found in the endpoint description. Positive parameter [e.g. `?sort=code`] points to ascending sorting, negative  [e.g. `?sort=-code`] - to descending sorting. Also, supported multiple sorting parameters [e.g. `?sort=code, -name, id`, etc.]
```curl
https://api.openfintech.io/v1/countries?sort=name,-area
```

### Filtering

Filtering provided by unique query key `filter[*filtering_condition*]`. Information about available parameters may be found in the endpoint description.
```curl
https://api.openfintech.io/v1/countries?filter[region]=europe
```

## Images

OpenFinTech provides two types of images: icons and logos. To get one of those types you should to use next url pattern:
``` curl
https://api.openfintech.io/v1/{path}/{id}/{icon/logo}
```
Also, images can be resized by adding next parameters: `h={height}&w={width}`. For example, you want to get organization icon with width equals to 20 pixels:
``` curl
https://api.openfintech.io/v1/organizations/{id}/icon?w=20&h=20
```
If argument height or width is missing API returns original image with real sizes.

## Errors

API uses conventional HTTP response codes to indicate the success or failure of an API request. In general, codes in the `2xx` range indicate success, codes in the `4xx` range indicate an error that failed given the information provided (e.g., a required parameter was omitted, etc.), and codes in the `5xx` range indicate an error with OpenFinTech's servers (these are rare).

| Code | Description |
|------|-------------|
| 200 - OK	| Everything worked as expected. |
| 400 - Bad Request |	The request was unacceptable, often due to missing a required parameter. |
| 401 - Unauthorized |	No valid API key provided. |
| 402 - Request Failed	| The parameters were valid but the request failed. |
| 404 - Not Found |	The requested resource doesn't exist. |
| 409 - Conflict	| The request conflicts with another request (perhaps due to using the same idempotent key). |
| 429 - Too Many Requests |	Too many requests hit the API too quickly. We recommend an exponential backoff of your requests. |
| 500, 502, 503, 504 - Server Errors |	Something went wrong on OpenFinTech's end. (These are rare.) |

Catfish Resumes Production With Host Nev Schulman After Sexual Misconduct Allegations Found 'Not Credible'
By Ryan Schwartz / June 23 2018, 3:12 PM PDT
Courtesy of MTV
MTV has resumed production on the reality series Catfish, after a third-party investigation concluded that allegations of sexual misconduct brought against host and executive producer Nev Schulman were "not credible."
The network on Saturday released a statement to our sister site Deadline, which reads as follows:
Although we never received a formal complaint, MTV and Critical Content immediately engaged an independent third party investigator. The independent investigator found the allegations made in the YouTube videos to be not credible and without merit. Given the results of the investigation, Catfish will resume filming. We take these matters very seriously and are committed to providing a safe working environment.
Schulman, meanwhile, responded to a series of tweets on Friday night thanking fans for their support:
Appreciate the support from you and so many others. Excited to get back to work! https://t.co/i8ZTJBI4yF
— Nev Schulman (@NevSchulman) June 22, 2018
Thanks! https://t.co/YBIYoCQ7DZ
Can't express how much your support means to me. 🤗 https://t.co/EUt3Zz5xio
To recap: Production on Catfish was first suspended back in May, when allegations of sexual misconduct were leveled by Ayissha Morgan, a young woman who appeared in a Season 4 episode. In a YouTube video, she described an incident involving "the main guy on the show," claiming he repeatedly questioned her sexuality and pushed her to sleep with him.
At the time of the allegations, Schulman released a statement of his own, which in part read, "The behavior described in this video did not happen and I'm fortunate that there are a number of former colleagues who were present during this time period who are willing to speak up with the truth."

Theodore Ushev Comes Home
By Chris Robinson
Animation, Production
It's fitting that Theodore Ushev's latest film, The Physics of Sorrow (2019), is playing at this year's Ottawa International Animation Festival, as his breakthrough work, Tower Bawher (2006), is making a reappearance at the festival (screening as part of a special two-part tribute to the NFB on its 80th anniversary, curated by Donald McWilliams).
In some ways, The Physics of Sorrow (inspired by Georgi Gospodinov's novel of the same name) is a culmination of Ushev's work to date. It's an epic, pained and deeply personal musing on the wounds of a generation of people in exile—not from their homeland (though that is true in Ushev's case) but from themselves. Sorrow is a portrait of a disconnected generation (yes, I suspect every generation starts to feel this as the tide turns towards a new, younger, more vibrant one).
Ushev's work (e.g., Drux Flux, Gloria Victoria and the Oscar-nominated Blind Vaysha) has frequently examined the relationship of the individual to larger, often suffocating political and social systems. As potent and personally inspired as all these films were—and remain—I always felt that they were more general portraits, that Ushev wasn't fully allowing himself to be exposed (which is entirely his right!). Sorrow is arguably his first film where you really feel that Ushev has put himself in the story. And it makes sense; like the protagonist of Sorrow, Ushev grew up in a communist country before leaving for Canada and a new life as a father and filmmaker.
This "reunion" at the OIAF also has personal connections for both the festival and me: the festival was one of the first to screen Ushev's work (a rarely seen short made for the internet long before he landed at the NFB); since 2005, Ushev has won an astonishing five Canadian Film Institute awards for Best Canadian Animation at the OIAF; Ushev and I have been friends (more like bickering brothers, to be honest) since we first met in the early 2000s, and we have collaborated on a couple of projects together, including the NFB film Lipsett Diaries.
I've been involved with the OIAF since 1991, and when you do a job as long as I have it can be challenging to be surprised by the film submissions. Ushev, though, was one of the few over the years (others would be Andreas Hykade, Run Wrake, Mati Kütt, Elizabeth Hobbs, Lei Lei) whose work got me tingling about animation's possibilities. I remember when he sent me a screener of Tower Bawher back in 2005. He had been making the film at home while working on a kids' film (Tzaritza) for the NFB. I was amazed by the film. Tower Bawher had an energy, a rawness that I'd rarely seen in animation.It was a three-minute cannon blast of unharnessed rage and passion, fear and love.

What most impressed me was how fast he worked. He made Tower Bawher at home in his spare time in just five weeks. And since then, Ushev has made a rather astounding 19 films! That might not seem all that impressive in this day and age, but back around the turn of the century (i.e., early 2000s), fast and prolific were generally not the way things were supposed to be done in animation. Despite technological advancements over the last decade that enable animators to create faster but just as effectively, a good many animators still like to take their time—sometimes as long as 10 years—when making their films. Working at such a slow pace can make it difficult for animators to craft relevant art that speaks to the moment, and has arguably led to one of the drawbacks of animation: the genre often lacks urgency and immediacy.
Refreshingly, Ushev's handling of animation was and remains raw, rough and chaotic; there's nothing polished, pristine or precious about his methods. His films seek to unpack the chaos of his moment—and ours. "For me the animation doesn't have to be precise," Ushev once told me. "What I care about is the emotion, the energy, and the feelings that my films give to the spectator."
It's this rare and raw honesty that separates Ushev from some of his animation peers who too often treat animation like one of Laura Wingfield's precious glass figurines from Tennessee Williams' play The Glass Menagerie.
"I don't go back," adds Ushev. "I don't care if the movement is precise or not. It has to be alive. Many of the most beautiful scenes in my films are accidents. Those moments are precious in my process. A glitch in the software can reveal a new way of animating. Animation is not just the mechanical movement of a drawing; it is creating life and all its flawed beauty."

Q: Regex: Match all string but capture groups between two symbols Question:
Given this string:
str = "this is<< just>> an example <<sentence>>"

How do you get the following array:
arr = ["this is", "<< just>>", " an example ", "<<sentence>>"]

Attempts:
I can split the string, however this removes the '<<' and '>>'.
str.split(/<<|>>/)
=> ["this is", " just", " an example ", "sentence"]

I can match the text blocks of text between and including '<<' and '>>', however this is missing the rest of the sentence.
str.match(/(<{2})(.*?>{2})/g)
=> ["<< just>>", "<<sentence>>"]

How do you capture the rest of the string as well as separate capture groups?

A: Here's one option - match << up to and including >>, OR match characters up to the point where lookahead matches << or the end of the string:

const str = "this is<< just>> an example <<sentence>> foo";
const re = /<<.+?>>|.+?(?=<<|$)/g;
console.log(str.match(re));

A: Split by <<...>>

const str = "this is<< just>> an example <<sentence>>"

const r = str.split(/(<<[^<>]+>>)/g)

console.log(r)

A: Simple solution - add the matching groups to your split regex

var str = "this is<< just>> an example <<sentence>>"
var result = str.split(/(<<|>>)/)
console.log(result);

or if you want the <<>> to be included, add them to your matching group
/(<<[^>]+>>)/

A: Split by <<...>> and use .filter(Boolean) to filter out empty values.

const str = "this is<< just>> an example <<sentence>>"

const r = str.split(/(<<[^<>]+>>)/g).filter(Boolean)

console.log(r)

So I've finally caught up on all my favourite blogs. In fact I spent so long reading through them that my foot, which was tucked underneath me, went to sleep. When I stood up it was like having an uncooked sausage for a leg with the result that I just fell over sideways and my husband had to run downstairs and pick me up off the floor.
I've also edited the holiday pics and thought I would show a bit of what North East England is like. I really love the little glimpses of round the world that you get from blogs, so hope you won't mind lots of pics which of course you will skip if you do, so that's okay too.
This is the Bowes Museum, built by the illegitimate son of an English aristocrat, and his wife, a French actress. They spent their life together making a wonderfully idiosyncratic collection of objects and paintings, possibly as a kind of 'up yours' to the society which wouldn't accept him, and had this built to house them. Tragically neither of them lived to see it finished.
The building below, also in the town of Barnard Castle, served a variety of functions, including butter market, fire station and court house. It also had two bullet holes in the golden weather vane as a souvenir of a target shooting competition between two chaps in the early 1800s.
This sign was high up on the wall, so I had to look up Corn Returns on the internet. Apparently each town had to declare the amount of grains sold in the local market, and the selling price.
In total contrast this was a typical local stone barn with slit windows and dovecot in the eves. Although it has a corrugated iron roof some of them were tiled with massive split stone slabs (rather than slate). I think they are beautiful.
Being Britain the weather was variable. We walked to the waterfall with the longest uninterrupted drop in England on a very cold and wet day: photo taken in the two seconds we took to make the most of waterfall before turning back and does not show grumpy children. It was worth it though!
There was a lot of lovely sunshine however and the countryside was full of blossom.
How can anything as energetic and characterful as a lamb turn into something as stolid as a sheep?
This is the kind of scenery lower in the valleys.
Higher up, it's much wilder.
Lots of beautiful walls. I think I have a bit of a trainspottery nature, but I think the variety of styles of dry-stone dyke work is totally fascinating.
and drove across another to reach one of the houses we stayed in. That drop to the left was quite hair-raising.
A lapwing. Love the fascinator.
Back to reality, and school, after Easter. Then perhaps some quilting!
Thank you for this lovely post. I love the stone walls too - just been reading a little book on geometric patterns in brickwork by Robert Field - great patchwork inspiration!
Thanks Linda - it's such a beautiful part of the world!
What a lovely li'l holiday you have had. Gorgeous photos. I love all those stone walls and that waterfall...just glorious!!
Fabulous holiday shots -that museum looksl ike a beautiful place to visit. Love your blossom and wildlife photos too.
Seems like you have had a wonderful little holiday. Thank you for sharing your lovely photos with us! The landscapes are absolutely beautiful. Love the waterfall!
Slowly getting around to reading blogs ... this post of your trip is fabulous ... I pass one of these barns just outside of Elora, ON, Can., on a regular basis ... it has been deemed 'heritage', thank goodness.
And I love the dry wall ... we have many left behind by our pioneer ancestors.
Thank you for the little tour !

Threes! Free For PC (Windows & MAC)
March 17, 2019 by Hasan Abbas Leave a Comment
Threes Free is a puzzle game in which players will have to move numbered tiles on a board of four by four squares. The objective will be to have the chips with the highest possible numbers, by the time the inevitable end of the game arrives.
The mechanics of Threes will be familiar to anyone who has played any of its derivatives, as they can be 2048 or Fives. That is, by sliding your finger across the screen we will make all the chips move in the same direction that we made the gesture, also emerging a new chip in a free position on the board.
Each of The chips will be numbered with a 1, a 2, a 3, a 6, a 12, a 24, and so on. When joining the 1 with the 2 we will create the 3, and from that moment we will have to join two equal pieces to create a new one. That is, we need two chips of the number 48 to create a chip 96.
Threes Free is a completely free version of this great puzzle game, whose main limitation is that it will only allow us to play a dozen games . Now, it is possible to increase the number of games we can play by advertising. And of course it's worth it.

Mythologizing the Practice of Burning by Native Americans Response to Misguided Guardian Yellowstone Commentary
A Chance to Stop the Ambler Road (Alaska)
By George Wuerthner On February 28, 2022 · 8 Comments · In Wildlife News
Let's stop the destructive road into the Brooks Range for good.
Write now to kill the Ambler access road.

While most attention of conservation groups has focused on proposals to drill in the Arctic Wildlife Refuge, a perhaps bigger threat to Alaska's wildlands comes from the proposed Ambler Road. The Ambler Road would access the Ambler Mining District near the headwaters of the Kobuk River along the southern slope of the western Brooks Range in Alaska.

The Trump administration pushed through a rapid and flawed Environmental review of the proposed road, and the Record of Decision issued in 2020 approved the road's construction. Fortunately, the Biden Administration has remanded the decision to permit the Ambler Road back to the Bureau of Land Management for additional environmental review giving the public another chance to halt this destructive project. I have previously written about the Ambler Road and its threats to the region as have others. The Brooks Range Council is a local group opposed to the Ambler Road.

The problem for anyone opposing the Ambler Road is that the Ambler Mining District is a "world-class" deposit of copper, containing ten times higher grade ore than any other known deposits in the world.
Map of Ambler Road route. Purple is Gates of the Arctic NP, blue is state land, Brown is native lands.
Most of the mining claims are owned by NANA, an NW Alaska Inuipat tribal corporation.In 2011, NANA and Trilogy Metals formed the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects (UKMP), a partnership that brings together Bornite and a number of other copper-rich prospects on NANA-owned lands with the world-class Arctic deposit and dozens of similar volcanogenic massive sulfide prospects located on state, federal and patented mining claims in the Ambler Mining District.
NANA wants to develop the Ambler mines as it has done for the Red Dog Mine (a Zinc mine) north of Kotzebue. Red Dog is considered the most toxic mining operation in America. Profits from the Red Dog mine is a significant source of funds for NANA.
Although the value of the Ambler ore deposit has been known for decades, the cost of access has always impeded development.

The Ambler Road would solve this problem. The proposed road would run from the Dalton Highway (Pipeline Haul Road) 211 miles across the southern edge of the Brooks Range, passing through federal (Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve, Kobuk Wild and Scenic River), state land, and native private holdings.
The proposed project crosses state lands (61%) and Native corporation lands (15%) but also crosses federal lands (24%) managed by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the National Park Service (NPS). Conservation groups and some tribal groups, in particular the Tanana Chiefs, oppose the mine.

The Athabascan people of the Koyukuk region will receive no financial benefit from the mining operations and just the negatives. The Tanana Chiefs represent the Athabascan people of the Koyukuk River Basin which the road will cross. They are mostly concerned about potential impacts the road could bring to hunting and fishing activities.
Inuipat (Eskimo) children on the Kobuk River. NANA Corportion which represents Inuipat people of the region is supportive of the Ambler Mining project because they will receive royalties from mining operations.
The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act (ANILCA), passed in 1980, created many new national parks like the Gates of the Arctic National Park. ANILCA had a clause authorizing the road. "Congress finds that there is a need for access for surface transportation purposes across the Western (Kobuk River) unit of the Gates of the Arctic National Preserve (from the Ambler Mining District to the Alaska Pipeline Haul Road), and the Secretary shall permit such access in accordance with the provisions of this subsection."
The word "shall" almost makes the road's approval guaranteed.
Alaska is a big proponent of the mine project and road. Much of the route crosses state-owned land, which would facilitate permitting. However, since the road would also cross federal land, the road project must be approved by the BLM to move forward.

The Ambler Road, if built, will pass over 3000 creeks and 11 major rivers and create a potential barrier to migration for the western Arctic caribou herd, which is currently in steep decline. The herd once numbered an estimated 500,000 individuals and most recently is estimated to be 188,000.
Research done at the Red Dog Mining area has demonstrated that roads can negatively impact caribou migrations. For example, a study of the Native-owned Red Dog Mine Industrial Access road north of Kotzebue found that just four vehicles an hour affected the migration of 30% of collared caribou or approximately 72,000 individuals of the 2017 population estimates.

In the meantime, two-state permits currently open for comments include AIDEA's request for a 50-year exclusive easement on state lands and another for a site-specific land use plan. The comment period has been extended to April 1, meaning there's still time to let the state know that no further permits should be issued. You can send comments to the state at this address.

Comment submitted. TY got your detailed reports.
From the article above, "The problem for anyone opposing the Ambler Road is that the Ambler Mining District is a "world-class" deposit of copper, containing ten times higher grade ore than any other known deposits in the world."
Well, I say if they want the road and a mine even considered, they must first clean up their Red Dog Mine. This is near Kotzebue, Alaska. Red Dog is known as the most toxic mine in America. I am tired of the corruption in our government where environmental criminals and similair miscreants are never punished.
Niyachen says:
There are some misleading statements. Red Dog Mine is not the most toxic mine. That is a misleading state brought about by not understanding the terminology the EPA uses. The toxic waste "produced" is just the natural rock that contains lead and zinc. This is not acid rock runoff or chemicals from the process, this is just the unused ore that is put back in the ground. The mine actually cleaned up Red Dog Creek because it originally ran through the exposed ore body naturally leaching metals into the rivers. All that runoff is not collected and treated to secondary water standards, those just below drinking water standards. Fish have migrated into Red Dog Creek where before it was too toxic.
Thank you for these comments.
Ni Yachen says:
The statement "The Athabascan people of the Koyukuk region will receive no financial benefit from the mining operations and just the negatives" is wrong. The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (ANCSA) Section 7(i) requires all resources to be shared roughly equally by all of the Native Regional Corporations (these are the federal tribal governments. Tanana Chiefs Council(TCC) is represented by Doyon and has been receiving a share of the revenue from Red Dog Mine even though they put not investment into it. The mine will also have native Alaskan hiring preferences which include all native Alaskans. Also, there will be facilities on the east side of the road that will east side of the road on or near Doyon land. TCC doesn't own the land Doyon does.

Not sure who is correct. But this National Geographic article suggests there are still problems with the Red Dog Mine and mining wastes.
Malcolm Atteberry says:
I love how the white racist left want to keep the Alaska native population poor and trapped in the villages. Once these people have truck and car access to Fairbanks and the rest of the world it will bring down the cost of literally everything for them. It will cut down the teen suicide rate, because teens could escape bad situations. I'm pretty sure the opinion about the ambler roads's "worth" to the local people will take a 180 turn once it's built. Get out of the Way of Progress!
Mark L says:
Not challenging what you are saying, but are there any statistics showing having a truck (or individual transportation) aiding in suicide prevention for teens in Alaska? As opposed to having a counselor, elder, or friend? I'd assume so, but would like to see analytical data before agreeing. I'm pretty sure TV is a better secondary cause, as it creates false expectations.

Home/Business/Activist hedge funds launched 89 campaigns in 2021. Right here's how they fared
Activist hedge funds launched 89 campaigns in 2021. Right here's how they fared
admin Send an email 1 day ago
Jeffrey Smith, chief government officer and chief funding officer at Starboard Worth LP.
David Paul Morris | Bloomberg | Getty Photographs
2021 was a busy 12 months for activist funds, with notable buyers together with Starboard Worth, JANA Companions and Carl Icahn pushing for significant change at an array of corporations.
In all, activist shareholders launched into 89 campaigns final 12 months in a spread of sectors, together with data expertise and client discretionary. These buyers additionally used totally different strategies to enhance outcomes for shareholders, together with waging campaigns regardless of proudly owning lower than 5% of an organization's frequent inventory. This is named "below the edge" activism.
This is a look at how 2021 formed up for activist funds.
Annual Shareholder Activism
Whole Activism
Variety of Campaigns 89 89
Common Market Cap $12.3 billion $21.0 billion
$ invested in New Filings $20.9 billion $18.7 billion
13D Activism in 2021 and 2020
Common Market Cap $4.8 billion $2.9 billion
Common % Possession 7.87% 9.02%
Non 13-D Activism (or Beneath the Threshold Activism)
$ invested in New Filings $10.4 billion $8.2 billion
Behind the numbers
Whole activism: Whole activism remained remarkably constant from 2020 to 2021. In each years there have been a complete of 89 new campaigns. This continues to be properly beneath the pre-Covid years (102 in 2019 and 113 in 2018). We anticipate that as Covid subsides, folks will return to work in-person and issues start to return to regular, activism may also return to its previous ranges.
What was distinctive about 2021, nonetheless, is that it was the primary 12 months since we started overlaying "below the edge" (or UTT) activism in 2014 that the variety of UTT conditions exceeded the variety of 13D conditions. There have been 41 materials 13D campaigns and 48 UTT campaigns versus 48 materials 13D campaigns and 41 UTT campaigns in 2020. We imagine this displays two important issues: (i) activists more and more having the ability to be simpler with decrease share holdings and (ii) activists utilizing swaps and derivatives to bypass 13D necessities whereas exceeding 5% financial publicity.
Since 2017, the variety of 13D filings has decreased every year with solely 41 new activist 13D filings in 2021, in comparison with 48 in 2020, 61 in 2019, 65 in 2018 and 71 in 2017. Whereas there continues to be a drop off within the variety of 13D campaigns, the common market capitalization for focused corporations is the best it has been since 2015. Furthermore, regardless of fewer 13D filings, the quantity of whole {dollars} invested in new 13D campaigns ($10.5 billion) is roughly the identical for the 41 such filings from final 12 months as it's for the 48 13D filings in 2020. Each years considerably exceed the $8.8 billion invested within the 61 13D filings in 2019.
The variety of UTT campaigns in 2021 returned to its 2018 degree of 48 engagements after being stagnant with 41 engagements in 2020 and 2019. Whereas the whole {dollars} invested in new UTT filings in 2021 elevated by 27% from $8.2 billion in 2020 to $10.4 billion in 2021, that is nonetheless far beneath the $17.7 billion of 2018.
Activist buyers: Whereas we're nonetheless dwelling in a world pandemic, the activist investor base is wanting like 2020 with the reemergence of some main buyers. For starters, Elliott Administration and Starboard had been each among the many most lively in 2021, though barely much less so in comparison with the prior 12 months. Elliott had seven campaigns in 2021 versus 9 in 2020, and Starboard had seven campaigns in 2021 versus eight in 2020. Additionally, among the many most lively was JANA Companions with seven campaigns in 2021, versus just one for 2020. Carl Icahn additionally picked up with 4 campaigns for 2021 versus two in 2020. We're additionally seeing consistency with 2020 with reference to the variability within the 13D filer base, with 34 distinctive filers in 2021 and 33 distinctive filers in 2020, versus 49 distinctive filers in 2019. This continues to make sense as a result of when a method turns into more and more tougher, as activism has attributable to Covid, usually buyers who're using activism as a core technique will proceed utilizing it.
Industries: The highest 4 industries focused in 2021 had been: (1) Data Expertise, (2) Shopper Discretionary, (3) Financials and (4) Well being Care, and these industries made up 68.54% of all activism in 2021. In 2020, the highest 4 industries focused had been (i) Shopper Discretionary, (ii) Data Expertise, (iii) Well being Care and (iv) Industrials, the 4 of which comprised 56.18% of all 2020 activism. Industrials left the highest 4 by going from 10 engagements (11%) to 5 engagements (6%) and was re-placed by Financials, which went from six engagements (7%) in 2020 to 13 engagements (15%) in 2021. Furthermore, that is the primary time since 2016 that Data Expertise surpassed Shopper Discretionary as probably the most focused trade. One different notable change was Vitality lowering from eight campaigns in 2020 to solely two in 2021.
Outcomes: Activists have been comparatively on par with the outcomes of their campaigns in 2021 versus 2020 based mostly on the 40 13D and UTT campaigns in 2021 which have been determined (excluding the 38 pending, 9 withdrawals and the 2 campaigns the place the activist didn't take any particular activist measure). The proportion of settlements (68% in 2021 versus 62% this time final 12 months), full wins (3% in 2021 versus 4% this time final 12 months) and losses (30% in 2021 versus 22% this time final 12 months) remained pretty constant.
A take a look at the up to date 2020 information (which is extra full than 2021 information attributable to many pending 2021 engagements), reveals a hanging revelation. In 2020, 68% of 13D engagements settled versus 38% of UTT conditions. Furthermore, solely 18% of 2020 determined 13D conditions have resulted in a loss versus 34% of determined 2020 UTT campaigns whereas 15% of 13D engagements have resulted in a full or partial win versus 28% of UTT conditions. Furthermore, that is according to the mixture variety of 13D and UTT campaigns between 2014 and 2020.
Ken Squire is the founder and president of 13D Monitor, an institutional analysis service on shareholder activism, and the founder and portfolio supervisor of the 13D Activist Fund, a mutual fund that invests in a portfolio of activist 13D investments.

Steven Pinker's book Enlightenment Now establishes that great progress has been made on the aims of the European Enlightenment. However, the minds of many economists, moralists and political thinkers in the West are still set firmly in the eighteenth century. The progress has been due mainly to the physical scientific revolutions of the 19th and 20th centuries, and the industrial revolutions they generated. But a new enlightenment is needed now to overcome this poverty of social theory, and bring our economists and political theorists up to date in the socially connected, commercially integrated, and existentially threatened world of the 21st century.

I get to work with a lot of great personal development and business growth experts who are making the world a better place. In their industries, like in most, there seems to be a trend when it comes to audio for one of two things: speed or quality.
In the speed category, they're working to keep up with the fast pace of the industry by getting their information developed and released as quickly as possible. This sometimes means getting teleconferences online immediately after they take place, or recording their own web audios or podcasts via a cheap dynamic microphone plugged into the input jack on their laptop.
This does get the job done...in a sense. You have to remember, as a business person, you're ALWAYS branding. Would you give someone a business card you just scribbled out, without even proofreading for spelling errors? This is essentially what you're doing if speed is your main objective.
Another shortcoming of differentiating yourself by speed is that you're shortchanging yourself down the road. You may end up with more audios available in bulk, but what will you be able to do with them tomorrow? Absolutely nothing.
Let's look at quality. With high-quality, top-notch audio, you look good, plain and simple. Proper branding is a no-brainer! And whether your audience is listening as soon as your podcast is available, or a month later, you still look good.
On down the road, if you want to create information products on CD or in downloadable form, you're already ready to go, without having to go into a studio to develop new audios, hire voice talent, or create scripts. You've done the heavy lifting up front!
You may not have as many audios with quality as your goal. But you'll have more impact, which will in turn, get you and your audience better results.

Man jumps from condo during drug sting
PANAMA CITY BEACH — A meth-den sting at a beach condominium complex yielded four arrests Friday and prompted one cuffed man to jump from the second story in an escape attempt.
The Bay County Sheriff's Office Special Investigations Division was conducting a search of an unnamed condominium complex in Panama City Beach when they located about a quarter-ounce of methamphetamine in ice form in the possession of Mikeal Meadows, 39. As they swept the residence, deputies found 41-year-old Angela Dotson trying to flush evidence into a toilet.
The sweep continued, and deputies found Barry Roberts, 42, in possession of an opiate. As investigators were conducting the search, Zachery Jenkins, 32, showed up at the condo. A warrants check was run and authorities discovered Jenkins was wanted on an active warrant for escaping the law.
Jenkins was detained and placed into handcuffs, but Jenkins, with hands handcuffed behind him, in another escape attempt jumped from the second floor of the complex and hid under a car at the condos.
Jenkins was quickly located and arrested on attempted escape.
Meadows was charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance, and possession of MDMA. Dotson was charged with possession of methamphetamine with intent to distribute, possession of a controlled substance, possession of MDMA and tampering with evidence. Dotson was also on probation and charged with violation of probation. Roberts was charged with possession of a controlled substance.

Q: Will a query which uses IS NULL always perform bad on large tables? I've got the following table :
CREATE TABLE `file` (
  `id` char(36) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `track_id` char(36) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci NOT NULL,
  `type` varchar(3) CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_general_ci DEFAULT NULL,
  `quality` int DEFAULT '0',
  `size` int DEFAULT '0',
  `duration` float DEFAULT '0',
  `bitrate` int DEFAULT '0',
  `samplerate` int DEFAULT '0',
  `updated` datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '2000-01-01 00:00:00',
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`),
  KEY `FK_file_track` (`track_id`),
  KEY `file_size` (`size`),
  KEY `file_type` (`type`),
  KEY `file_quality` (`quality`),
  KEY `file_ttq` (`track_id`,`type`,`quality`),
  CONSTRAINT `file_ibfk_1` FOREIGN KEY (`track_id`) REFERENCES `track` (`id`)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

The table has 5.870.674 rows.
The below query takes about 30 seconds to complete on that table. It finds files of type WAV and quality 1 which does not have a corresponding file of type MP3 and quality 1. Files are related to each other through track_id.
select SQL_NO_CACHE *
from file as f1
left join file as f2 on f1.track_id = f2.track_id
                    and f2.type = 'MP3'
                    and f2.quality = 1
where f1.type = 'WAV'
  and f1.quality = 1
  and f2.track_id is null
limit 100;

-> Limit: 100 row(s)  (cost=696287.32 rows=100) (actual time=115.333..31808.476 rows=29 loops=1)
    -> Filter: (f2.track_id is null)  (cost=696287.32 rows=1452798) (actual time=115.332..31808.463 rows=29 loops=1)
        -> Nested loop antijoin  (cost=696287.32 rows=1452798) (actual time=115.330..31808.425 rows=29 loops=1)
            -> Filter: (f1.quality = 1)  (cost=187807.85 rows=1452798) (actual time=0.440..8208.084 rows=1776957 loops=1)
                -> Index lookup on f1 using file_type (type='WAV')  (cost=187807.85 rows=2905597) (actual time=0.438..8017.700 rows=1776957 loops=1)
            -> Index lookup on f2 using file_ttq (track_id=f1.track_id, type='MP3', quality=1)  (cost=0.25 rows=1) (actual time=0.013..0.013 rows=1 loops=1776957)

I've been trying to optimize this query in various ways, but I believe the f2.track_is is null is what's making this query perform bad. However, I do need to find the files that are missing.
Is there a way to make this query run faster?
