Scholarships to Disabled Students
Rajiv Gandhi National Fellowship (RGNF) provides for scholarship to students with disabilities for pursuing higher education leading to degrees such as M. Phil. and Ph.D.
The scheme is implemented by University Grants Commissions (UGC) on the pattern of UGC fellowship scheme. Any student with disability who has been admitted to M.Phil./Ph.D. course in a University or academic institution is eligible for the award of Fellowship.
The National Handicapped Finance and Development Corporation (NHFDC) is implementing two Schemes, namely, Scholarship Scheme (Trust Fund) and Scholarship Scheme (National Fund), for award of scholarship to students with disabilities pursuing Higher and Technical education.
Student with 40% or more disabilities having prescribed income ceiling under the scheme are eligible for the scholarship.
The number of Scholarship under (Trust Fund) Scholarship Scheme has been increased from 1000 to 1500 per year from the year 2013-14. 3018 students have been benefited by Scholarship Scheme (Trust Fund) from 2011-12 onward till date.
An amount of Rs.63,90,016/- has been provided from the year 2011-12 onwards cost of assistive devices such as laptop, Brailler Type writer and Mobile phone etc. to the differently abled students in the Scholarship Scheme (Trust Fund).
An approximate amount of Rs. 15 crore is likely to be incurred for disbursement of 1500 Scholarship (Trust Fund) during the academic year 2013-14.

Our July recap highlights new developments regarding the SEC's regulation of blockchain digital currencies, disclosure of sensitive customer data by Wells Fargo, and other news that will have an impact on business and litigation.
The SEC has announced that initial offerings for blockchain digital currencies will be subject to the same requirements as traditional securities.
Blockchain digital currencies refer to electronic currencies, such as Bitcoin, that have grown in popularity in recent years. This week, the SEC stated that "initial coin offerings" for such currencies would be subject to registration and full and fair disclosure requirements under the federal Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 unless a valid exemption applies. This decision places blockchain digital currencies on par with regular securities offered for sale through initial public offerings. In the report issued by the SEC, the agency stated that regardless of whether an entity or virtual organization uses blockchain technology or computer code to automate functions to raise funds, such conduct is still subject U.S. federal securities laws. Analysts believe that the announcement could make it more difficult for offerors to raise money using blockchain digital currencies.

Wells Fargo is embroiled in a controversy regarding the inadvertent production of highly sensitive customer files in response to a subpoena issued to the bank.
Wells Fargo was issued a subpoena in a case concerning a dispute between two brothers regarding their jointly managed Wells Fargo brokerage account. In response to the subpoena, counsel for Wells Fargo produced electronic mail from a limited number of custodians. A third party vendor that assisted counsel for Wells Fargo produced thousands of emails to the requesting party, including confidential customer account information for tens of thousands of clients. According to media reports, the sensitive files were disclosed because of improper coding used in the vendor's document review software. To add insult to injury, the electronic files, which included sensitive personal data, were shared in part with the New York Times, which promptly published a story highlighting the bank's error. Wells Fargo is presently requesting courts in both New York and New Jersey to compel litigants and custodians to the return the disclosed confidential information. A New Jersey court has ordered the safeguarding of data pending a hearing in September, along with the destruction of duplicative file copies held by counsel.
The City of Chicago has agreed to pay nearly $39 million to settle a class action concerning claims that it improperly managed its red-light camera and traffic ticket system.
In the underlying case, class plaintiffs alleged that the city sent traffic tickets to drivers who were alleged to have run red lights, but failed to send a required second violation warning. In addition, class plaintiffs alleged that the city assessed violations prior to the time for response by drivers, implicating due process concerns. Chicago has more than 300 red-light cameras throughout the city, far more than New York City's tally of less than 200. Under the settlement, Chicago will waive $12 million dollars in outstanding tickets issued between 2010 and 2015. In total, the settlement is valued at $38.75 million and it will affect more than 1 million people.
Recent data compiled by the National Center for State Courts reflects that contract cases in state courts have risen sharply, while tort cases have decreased in volume.
The center noted that in 1993, contract cases accounted for 18 percent of civil cases in state court. In 2015, the most recent year for which data was available, the figure rose to 51 percent of filings in state courts. In contrast, tort cases accounted for only 4 percent of civil filings in state court in 2015. This figure is down from 16 percent of all civil filings in 1993. The center also noted that a number of factors have led to the shift, including tort damages caps in certain states and improved automobile safety. For instance, in Kansas, where non-economic damages are subject to caps, civil tort cases fell 45 percent between 2000 and 2015.


It's Saturday afternoon and Emily and Lucy are gleefully bouncing on a bed, occasionally swooping down to kiss their baby brother's cheek or pat his fuzzy little head.
The siblings — Emily is 3, Lucy is 20 months and Tomas is 5 months — are enjoying some rare play time because each lives with a different family, in a different home, in a different city. They are genetic siblings — conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF) with eggs and sperm from the same donors — but each born to a different mother.
As the toddlers giggle and Tomas coos on his back, their mothers look on and smile. The three women, who were strangers a few years ago, share a bond forged when Ana, Emily's mother, donated embryos, left over after she had completed her own family, to the other women.
The three families — from Hamilton, Toronto and Kitchener — get together every few months so the children will grow up knowing each other as siblings.
The three moms, three dads and three children are forming a new family dynamic, entering into unknown territory as they develop bonds they hope will last a lifetime.
When couples struggling with infertility undergo IVF — that's when an egg is retrieved and fertilized in a lab with sperm to create an embryo that is transferred to the uterus — multiple embryos are sometimes created to maximize the chance of getting pregnant. If the initial transfer (or transfers) is successful, there can be leftover embryos. Couples typically choose to destroy surplus embryos or keep them frozen in a storage facility for use at later time.
Ana was fortunate to get pregnant right away, which meant there were 22 left over embryos. She didn't plan to have more kids and decided to donate the extras to women struggling to become moms, which would give Emily siblings.
Embryo donation is "quite rare," says Dr. Jeffrey Roberts, president of the Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society, a non-profit professional organization that represents those working in assisted reproduction. The reason for this isn't demand — which is high — but a lack of available supply, he says. People are often reluctant to donate surplus embryos, particularly if they've used their own eggs and sperm. They can't bear the thought of their genetic child being raised by someone else.
Ana didn't have that concern as she was not genetically related to the embryos. She just didn't know how to proceed until she discovered Beginnings Family Services, an adoption agency in Hamilton that is the only agency in Canada that facilitates embryo donation. It is there that the three families connected. They agreed to share their story with the Star, but asked that they be given pseudonyms to protect their children's privacy.
After trying to get pregnant naturally for two years, Ana's family doctor broke the news: At the age of 32, Ana was in premature menopause. She and her partner Bob were devastated.
The female donor was given medication to stimulate her ovaries to harvest as many eggs as possible. Twenty-three mature eggs were retrieved and fertilized, to make 23 embryos.
Initially, Ana wasn't fazed by the large amount of embryos — if the initial transfer into her uterus didn't result in a pregnancy she could keep trying. But she didn't need to.
"When I found out I was pregnant, I was over the moon," she says.
That left Ana and Bob with 22 embryos and the ethical dilemma of what to do with them: Freeze them, destroy them, give them to scientific research, or donate them.
"Maybe it's my Catholic upbringing but I see (embryos) as future children," says Ana. Knowing how hard it was to become a mom, she felt donating made the most sense.
There aren't many clinics in Canada that have embryo donation programs. Those that do are either open, meaning the donor selects or knows the recipient, or anonymous, which means the donor doesn't know who gets the embryos.
Both options are potentially problematic, says Kerry Bowman, an assistant professor of bioethics at the University of Toronto. Allowing the donor to choose a recipient can raise human rights issues if someone is discriminated based on race, religion or sexuality. Some recipients are uncomfortable with an open process because it may involve another set of parents in the child's upbringing. On the other hand, with an anonymous program donors can wind up with biological offspring they don't know.
Ana asked herself those questions and wanted to choose the recipient. Beginnings, the largest private adoption agency in Ontario, allowed her to do that.
A shortage of babies available for adoption spurred the non-profit agency to start its embryo donation program in 2010. To date, the agency has worked with 29 embryo donors, resulting in the birth of 10 babies, says Mary Howlett Nero, the embryo donation program co-ordinator.
The agency matches counsels and assesses donors and recipients and refers them to lawyers, who draw up the legal agreements. The recipient pays about $10,000 to cover the agency fees, legal work and fertility clinic fees. The donor doesn't incur any costs.
Beginnings' embryo donation program is modelled on the Snowflakes program, which was started in 1997 by Nightlight Christian Adoptions in the U.S. Nearly 1,200 families have donated unused embryos to that program, resulting in about 500 "Snowflake" babies, so-called because they were once frozen.
Beginnings' open process allowed Ana to negotiate the terms of a future relationship with the recipient family. She wanted Emily to have siblings — and to know them.
After about four frustrating years of trying to become parents, Lara and Dave considered embryo donation.
By then, the Toronto couple had undergone four rounds of IVF using their eggs and sperm, Lara had surgery to correct a uterine malformation, and the couple registered with nine adoption agencies, including Beginnings.
As they waited to adopt a child, Beginnings suggested signing up for embryo donation. A few months later they were notified Ana had chosen them.
The first meeting was emotional. Lara was thankful for a shot at motherhood, and Ana was grateful her daughter would have a sibling. The initial contract was for four embryos, but if Lara and Dave were successful, wanted to try for siblings but had no embryos left, they could request another four. To date, the couple received eight embryos.
The first transfer involved two embryos and Lara became pregnant with one child.
Lara had an "amazing" pregnancy. She regularly sent Ana updates and ultrasound photos of Lucy, who was born in the summer of 2015. But the women were in contact for another reason: Ana still had surplus embryos and was looking for another recipient family. She wanted Lara's input.
It wasn't infertility that led Sue and Frank to Beginnings. It was heartbreak.
In 2014, the couple had a baby girl who died of a rare heart disease when she was 5 months old.
Concerned it was a genetic condition, they couldn't bear to go through that ordeal again and the Kitchener couple met with an adoption counsellor who told them about Beginnings' embryo donation program.
Sue contacted Beginnings around the same time Ana was looking for another recipient couple. Ana was moved by their story.
Sue and Frank received five embryos. An initial transfer of two embryos wasn't successful. A second then a third transfer also failed. They were crestfallen. Another four embryos were donated. From that batch, the first transfer of two embryos resulted in a single pregnancy.
Last summer, as Sue's belly grew bigger by the day, she and Frank got a sneak peak of what their child would look like when the three families got together and they met Emily and Lucy for the first time.
When Tomas was born in November, Ana and Lara were among the first to get the news. And Sue has leaned on them since. When Tomas recently fell ill with a respiratory virus, landing him in hospital for three days, Sue immediately called the other moms to ask if their girls had experienced anything similar.
The parents say they're committed to staying in touch and laying the groundwork for these siblings to have a special relationship.
Reproductive health psychologist Patricia Gervaize of the Ottawa Fertility Centre, who has worked in the field for more than three decades, applauds their efforts.
"This is the perfect example (of embryo donation) because I think more than anything we need to consider the potential impact on the children," says Gervaize.
Lara is already thinking of the future.
By then, there should be even more siblings. Earlier this year, Lara transferred another one of her embryos and is now four months pregnant.
Between the three couples, eight embryos remain (two embryos did not survive the thawing process) — Ana and Bob have three, Lara and Dave have three and Sue and Frank have two. They are considering pooling them to donate to a fourth family.
Meanwhile the couples marvel at how similar their children are. They've all got the same big almond-shaped eyes, long eyelashes and big lips.

A screw thread is defined as a ridge of uniform section in the form of a helix on either the external or internal surface of a cylinder. Internal threads refer to those on nuts and tapped holes, while external threads are those on bolts, studs, or screws.
The thread form is the configuration of the thread in an axial plane; or more simply, it is the profile of the thread, composed of the crest, root, and flanks. At the top of the threads are the crests, at the bottom the roots, and joining them are the flanks. The triangle formed when the thread profile is extended to a point at both crests and roots, is the fundamental triangle. The height of the fundamental triangle is the distance, radially measured, between sharp crest and sharp root diameters.
The distance measured parallel to the thread axis, between corresponding points on adjacent threads, is the thread pitch. Unified screw threads are designated in threads per inch. This is the number of complete threads occurring in one inch of threaded length. Metric thread pitch is designated as the distance between threads (pitch) in millimeters.
On an internal thread, the minor diameter occurs at the crests and the major diameter occurs at the roots. On an external thread, the major diameter is at the thread crests, and the minor diameter is at the thread roots.
The flank angle is the angle between a flank and the perpendicular thread axis. Flank angles are sometimes termed "half-angle" of the thread, but this is only true when neighboring flanks have identical angles; that is, the threads are symmetrical. Unified screw threads have a 30° flank angle and are symmetrical. This is why they are commonly referred to as 60° threads.
Pitch diameter is the diameter of a theoretical cylinder that passes through the threads in such a way that the distance between the thread crests and thread roots is equal. In an ideal product, these widths would each equal one-half of the thread pitch.
An intentional clearance is created between mating threads when the nut and bolt are manufactured. This clearance is known as the allowance. Having an allowance ensures that when the threads are manufactured there will be a positive space between them. For fasteners, the allowance is generally applied to the external thread. Tolerances are specified amounts by which dimensions are permitted to vary for convenience of manufacturing. The tolerance is the difference between the maximum and minimum permitted limits.
Thread fit is a combination of allowances and tolerances and a measure of tightness or looseness between them. A clearance fit is one that provides a free running assembly and an interference fit is one that has a positive interference thus requiring tools for the initial run-down of the nut.
For Unified inch screw threads there are six standard classes of fit: 1B, 2B, and 3B for internal threads; and 1A, 2A, and 3A for external threads. All are considered clearance fits. That is, they assemble without interference. The higher the class number, the tighter the fit. The 'A' designates an external thread, and 'B' designates an internal thread.
Classes 1A and 1B are considered an extremely loose tolerance thread fit. This class is suited for quick and easy assembly and disassembly. Outside of low-carbon threaded rod or machine screws, this thread fit is rarely specified.
Classes 2A and 2B offer optimum thread fit that balances fastener performance, manufacturing, economy, and convenience. Nearly 90% of all commercial and industrial fasteners use this class of thread fit.
Classes 3A and 3B are suited for close tolerance fasteners. These fasteners are intended for service where safety is a critical design consideration. This class of fit has restrictive tolerances and no allowance. Socket products generally have a 3A thread fit.
The following illustration demonstrates the pitch diameter allowances on a 3/4-10 bolt and nut.
The axial distance through which the fully formed threads of both the nut and bolt are in contact is called the length of thread engagement. The depth of thread engagement is the distance the threads overlap in a radial direction. The length of thread engagement is one of the key strength aspects and one of the few which the designer may be able to control.
Go and No-Go Gauges are threaded rings that are tapped in such a way that they ensure proper tolerancing of parts. Similar devices are available for internally threaded fasteners.
Per the acceptance requirements of ASME B1.3, System 21, the allowance specified for the Class 2A external threads is used to accommodate the plating thickness. The plain finished parts (or plated parts prior to plating) would be tested for adherence to these tolerances with a 2A Go/No-Go thread gauge. The 2A Go gauge would ensure the pitch diameter falls below the maximum requirement; the No-Go gauge would verify that the pitch diameter is above the minimum requirement. A standard electro-zinc plated 2A part would be gauged with the Class 3A Go (due to the plating metal thickness) and 2A No-Go gauge after plating.
There are three standard thread series in the Unified Screw Thread System that are highly important for fasteners: UNC (coarse), UNF (fine), and 8-UN (8 thread). A chart listing the standards sizes and thread pitches with their respective thread stress areas is listed in the Fastenal Technical Reference Guide, along with a special series designated UNS.
Below are some of the aspects of fine and coarse threads.
Numerous arguments have been made for using either fine or coarse threads; however, with the increase in automated assembly processes, bias towards the coarse thread series has developed.
The UNR thread is a modified version of a standard UN thread. The single difference is a mandatory root radius with limits of 0.108 to 0.144 times the thread pitch. When first introduced decades ago, it was necessary to specify UNR (rounded root) threads. Today, all fasteners that are roll threaded should have a UNR thread because thread rolling dies with rounded crests are now the standard method for manufacturing most threads.
UNJ thread is a thread form having root radius limits of 0.150 to 0.180 times the thread pitch. With these enlarged radii, minor diameters of external thread increase and intrude beyond the basic profile of the UN and UNR thread forms. Consequently, to offset the possibility of interference between mating threads, the minor diameters of the UNJ internal threads had to be increased. 3A/3B thread tolerances are the standard for UNJ threads. UNJ threads are now the standard for aerospace fasteners and have some usage in highly specialized industrial applications.
UNJ bolts are like UNR, but the curve of the thread root is gentler which requires that it be shallower. In fact, the thread root is so shallow that the bolt thread cannot mate with a UN nut, so there is a UNJ nut specification as well.
Threads can be produced by either cutting or rolling operations. The shank of a blank designed for cut threading will be full-size from the fillet under the head to the end of the bolt. Producing cut threads involves removing the material from a bolt blank with a cutting die or lathe in order to produce the thread. This interrupts the grain flow of the material.
Rolled threads are formed by rolling the reduced diameter (approximately equal to the pitch diameter) portion of the shank between two reciprocating serrated dies. The dies apply pressure, compressing the minor diameter (thread roots) and forcing that material up to form the major diameter (thread crests). Imagine squeezing a balloon with your hand; you compress with your fingers to form the valley, while allowing part of the balloon to expand between your fingers. This is the concept behind roll threading. Rolled threads have several advantages: more accurate and uniform thread dimension, smoother thread surface, and generally greater thread strength (particularly fatigue and shear strength).
Thread cutting requires the least amount of tooling costs. It is generally only used for large diameter or non-standard externally threaded fasteners. Thread cutting is still the most commonly used method for internal threads.
Ensure that the threaded fasteners were manufactured to a current ASTM, ANSI, DIN, ISO or other recognized standard.
Ensure that the design promotes bolts to break in tension prior to the female and/or male threads stripping. A broken bolt is an obvious failure. However, when the threads strip prior to the bolt breaking, the failure may go unnoticed until after the fastener is put in service.
The strength of bolts loaded in tension can be easily determined by the ultimate tensile strength. To determine the amount of force required to break a bolt, multiply its ultimate tensile strength by its tensile stress area, As.
Determining the strength of the threads is more complicated. Since the male threads pull past the female threads, or vice-versa, the threads fail in shear and not in tension. Therefore, the stripping strength of an assembly depends on the shear strength of the nut and bolt materials.
Taking proper precautions during the design phase is vital to avoiding thread failure. Once the first engaged thread begins to shear, the threads behind it will also shear in rapid succession.
To determine the force required to strip the threads, multiply the shear strength by the cross sectional area being sheared. The difficulty lies in determining the cross sectional area in which the shear will occur. Here are three possible scenarios for this type of failure.
The nut material is stronger than the bolt material. In this example, the nut threads will shear out the bolt threads. The failure will occur at the root of the bolt threads.
The bolt material is stronger than the nut material. In this scenario, the bolt threads will shear out the nut threads. The failure will occur at the root of the nut threads.
The nut and bolt are the same strength. In this scenario, both threads will strip simultaneously. This failure will occur at the pitch line.
The tensile strength of most fasteners is usually specified, whereas shear strength is not. In order to avoid shearing the threads, ensure that the length of engagement between the internal and external thread is long enough to provide adequate cross-sectional thread area.
Failure scenarios #1 and #3 can typically be avoided by ensuring proper thread engagement. With proper engagement, those scenarios would result in a tensile failure of the bolt rather than thread stripping.
Generally the hardness and the actual material strength of a nut is less than the bolt. For example, if you look at the hardness of an SAE J995 Grade 8 nut (HRC 24-32 up to 5/8-in diameter), it is likely to be less than the SAE J429 Grade 8 bolt (HRC 33-39). This is designed to yield the nut threads to ensure the load is not carried solely by the first thread. As the thread yields, the load is further distributed to the next five threads. Even with the load distribution, the first engaged thread still takes the majority of the load. In a typical 7/8-9 Grade 8 nut, the first engaged thread carries 34% of the load. Using internally threaded materials with higher strengths and hardness can often result in fatigue and/or loosening.
The strength capacities of standard nuts are listed as the nut's proof stress. This should not be confused with the proof strength of the bolts. Proof stress is the ultimate load the nut can support without thread failure. For design purposes, the most important aspect of choosing the appropriate nut is to select a nut with a proof stress equal to or greater than the ultimate tensile strength of the bolt.
Caution: It appears that one could theoretically increase the thread strength by increasing the length of engagement. However, as illustrated in the Load Distribution chart above, the first thread will be taking the majority of the applied load. For carbon steel fasteners (including tapped holes) the length of engagement would be limited to approximately one nominal diameter (approximately 1-1/2 times the diameter for aluminum). After that, there is no appreciable increase in strength. Once the applied load has exceeded the first thread's capacity, it will fail and subsequently cause the remaining threads to fail in succession.
If the nut proof stress does not exceed the proof strength of the bolt, stripping failure is very likely.
Ensure that the selected nut has a proof stress greater than or equal to the tensile strength of the bolt.

12:3 for consider again him who endured such gainsaying from the sinners to himself, that ye may not be wearied in your souls—being faint.
12:7 if chastening ye endure, as to sons God beareth Himself to you, for who is a son whom a father doth not chasten?
12:8 and if ye are apart from chastening, of which all have become partakers, then bastards are ye, and not sons.
12:9 Then, indeed, fathers of our flesh we have had, chastising [us], and we were reverencing [them]; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of the spirits, and live?
12:11 and all chastening for the present, indeed, doth not seem to be of joy, but of sorrow, yet afterward the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those exercised through it—it doth yield.
12:17 for ye know that also afterwards, wishing to inherit the blessing, he was disapproved of, for a place of reformation he found not, though with tears having sought it.
12:24 and to a mediator of a new covenant—Jesus, and to blood of sprinkling, speaking better things than that of Abel!
12:29 for also our God [is] a consuming fire.

February 5, 2021 Ordering Information
The Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is hosted by New Zealand this year under the theme Join. Work. Grow. Together. The economic and trade forum was kicked off by way of informal senior officials' meetings between 9 and 11 December 2020. For the first time in the forum's history, all meetings will be held virtually. While the host country's decision to go virtual is comprehensible with a view to the ongoing pandemic, it has given rise to cybersecurity concerns. Highlighting New Zealand's commitment to helping the forum chart its course for the next twenty years, the host country has announced three policy priorities:
Economic and trade policies that strengthen recovery, with a focus on the right macroeconomic, microeconomic and trade policy choices;
Increasing inclusion and sustainability for recovery by building a better society for all people and generating a green recovery; and
Pursuing innovation and a digitally enabled recovery by accelerating the APEC region's work in these areas.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will chair the Economic Leaders' Meeting. Having attended the APEC Leaders' Meetings in Viet Nam (2017), Papua New Guinea (2018) and participated virtually in Malaysia's Leaders' Meeting (2020), she should be able to draw on this experience when chairing the meeting this year. Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta will chair the Ministerial Meetings. Ms Mahuta has been a member of parliament for more than 20 years and is the first woman at the top of the foreign affairs portfolio. Trade and Export Growth Minister Damien O'Connor will act as Chair of the Trade Ministers' Meeting. Mr O'Connor, also a long-term member of parliament, has a background in farming and adventure tourism. He is described as a passionate advocate for rural communities and a thriving agricultural sector, which could shape the way he goes about the meetings. Vangelis Vitalis from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade will chair the Senior Officials' Meetings (SOM) throughout the year. He is the Ministry's Deputy Secretary, Trade and Economic, and serves as New Zealand's Chief Negotiator for the Free Trade Agreement with the European Union. In the role of chief negotiator, he previously concluded the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP-11), the ASEAN-Australia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (AANZFTA) and the Malaysia-New Zealand Free Trade Agreement (MNZFTA). In other words, New Zealand can count on an experienced negotiator for the forum.
The APEC meeting calendar provides for the following schedule:
18 February to 12 March: First Senior Officials' Meeting (SOM1)
Week of 16 March: Finance Deputies Meeting
18 May to 14 June: Second Senior Officials' Meeting (SOM2)
5 June: Trade Ministers' Meeting
Week of 14 June: Structural Reform Ministers' Meeting
Week of 21 June: Senior Finance Officials
10 August to 3 September: Third Senior Officials' Meeting (SOM3)
Week of 16 August: Food Security Ministers' Meeting
Week of 21 September: Women and the Economy Forum
Week of 5 October: Small and Medium Enterprises Ministerial
Week of 26 October: Finance Ministers' Meeting, Senior Finance Officials, Finance Deputies
Week of 8 November: APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting (AELM); APEC Ministers' Meeting and Concluding Senior Officials' Meeting (CSO)
The idea of an Asia-Pacific regional trade forum was first introduced by the late Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke in 1989. He reportedly called for the creation of a government-level edition of the second track vehicle, the Pacific Economic Co-operation Conference, founded by Australia and Japan in 1980. The suggestion, we are told, was for an Asia Pacific version of the OECD. In the end of 1989, twelve regional economies met in the Australian capital Canberra to set it up. Currently, APEC has 21 members:
Australia, Brunei Darussalam, Canada, Chile, People's Republic of China, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Peru, The Philippines, The Russian Federation, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, United States of America and Viet Nam.
APEC economies have a combined population of 2.8 billion, equalling about 40% of the world's population. Their combined GDP amounts to US$45 trillion, accounting for about 60% of global GDP and about 48% of world trade. Between 2011 and 2016, APEC economies are said to have grown by 2.3% per annum, while the remaining global economies have purportedly contracted by 1.6%. APEC's budget (2019: US$5 million, about €4 million) appears small in comparison to the OECD's budget (€386 million, about US$474 million) in the same year, even if one were to take into account that the OECD has almost twice as many members. While APEC may apply the OECD model of trade facilitation and economic and technical facilitation, it does not provide for binding commitments by its member economies. Accordingly, the forum has been criticised for a lack of clearly specified obligations, legally binding commitments, reciprocity and non-discrimination principles required to discourage opportunistic behaviours by its members. Further, its reliance on voluntary compliance with unilaterally defined commitments has been said to fail to assist governments with resolving domestic political economy issues associated with trade liberalisation. On the positive side, APEC claims that thanks to its work, average tariffs in the region had fallen from 17% to 5.3% between 1989 and 2018, that real GDP had soared from US$ 19 trillion to US$ 46.9 trillion, and that per capita income had risen by 74% in the same period, thus lifting millions out of poverty and creating a growing middle class in less than three decades.
New Zealand, assuming the host country aims for the forum to achieve similar results in the coming years, has taken on an enormous task under particularly difficult circumstances, with no one knowing when business people may use of their APEC Business Travel Cards again.

Mituyu is currently in its infancy; it's got a great feature set already, but as its user base grows, so will its functionality. There are lots of great additions coming soon that will add more power to the way you:
organise and schedule your content,
measure its performance,
find and engage with new audiences, and
interact with your followers on an individual basis.
Our development plan is inspired by the very excellent JoCo's 2006 endeavour: put simply, we aim to add a thing a week. Bug-fixes aside, they'll vary in splendour between simple additions to big new tools, new metrics views, new networks to plug in to, and more besides.
Those things will be listed here, so check back to see what's new. In the meantime, thank you for joining us on this early part of our journey :D
Definitely in the pipeline
Facebook messaging - once everybody's completely happy with the way it works on Twitter!
Re-usable campaign planning - instead of publishing content immediately, you'll be able to add it to a campaign schedule, which you can then trigger at a certain point, or repeatedly.
Channel-specific tools - taking Twitter as an example, there'd be auto-follow-back, follower-welcome messages, etc.
LinkedIn messaging, if they ever finish off their API.
Instagram integration, the moment that Facebook (who own it) open it back up for API publishing.
Manual embed styling, if you want your embed to look completely different, you'll be able to plug your own styling into it.
You can subscribe to this as an RSS feed.

La dualidad cautelar y sumaria de la protección de derechos fundamentales
: The precautionary and summary duality of protection of fundamental rights
JORGE ANDRES LARROUCAU TORRES
The protection of fundamental rights suffers from a procedural duality since its physiognomy ranges from that corresponding to a precautionary measure-a temporary, suitable and proportional court order-and to a summary trial-a declaratory procedure that leading to a judgment that has the force of res judicata-. This article delves into its constitutional regulation as well as in the 'autos acordados' (an order emanating from some superior tribunal, promulgated in the name and by the authority of the sovereign), dictated by the Supreme Court (in the years 1977, 1992, 1998, 2007 and 2015) in the Chilean academic literature and in the recent jurisprudence of the Chilean Courts with a dual purpose: Identify the most significant procedural consequences entailed by this duality and value the internal coherence of each of these approaches.

Amazon deliveries, fitness classes, food markets and regular massages top the list of services office workers want at their place of work, revealed a survey of UK office employees working in properties run by property management and proptech firm Equiem.
Of the onsite amenities, Amazon deliveries were most popular among respondents, cited by 60%. Also scoring highly were food deliveries to desks (44%) and dry-cleaning pick-ups (32%).
Onsite fitness activities and health and wellness services were popular – 55% said that they would like classes such as spinning made available, while just 9% said they did not want to participate in fitness activities at work.
Access to regular massages (60%), health checks (54%) and stress management (36%) scored highly in the health and wellness category.


Apple's Smart Folders are saved searches that show up as live folders on your Mac. Once you set them up, your computer updates the folders automatically. Apple includes a few examples in the Finder, but that's just a starting point. With a little help, you can use Smart Folders to save time and find what you want on your Mac.
Where Can You Set Up Smart Folders?
Smart Folders work in most apps on your Mac. The most common places you use Smart Folders are the Finder, Mail, iTunes and Contacts. Any application on your Mac that works with many items usually has a Smart Folder option. For example, popular password management program 1Password supports Smart Folders. Contacts will call them Smart Groups instead of folders. Look for the "smart" option in your programs.
In this example, I'll use the Finder to find all the .pdf files in my Downloads folder. Searching the entire hard drive for a .pdf might bring up too many results. This folder lets me quickly find what I need. In most Mac programs, the Smart Folder option is in the New Menu. When you create that folder, it opens up a search window.
Next, notice the plus icon right under the search bubble in the right-hand side of the window. Click the plus to create search criteria.
The Finder then gives you two options. The first option is what type of attribute you are searching for. The next field or fields are the details of that attribute. In this example, we want to find files based on the kind attribute. The specific details of that kind of file is a PDF file. For this smart folder, we'll set Kind as PDF.
The Finder puts a drop down menu on either side of the word Is. You could search for files with the name of PDF, but that means that if you named a file wrong, it wouldn't show up. Searching by attribute gives you better results.
Smart Folders let you search based on more than one option. If I want to find a recent large PDF I can specify the size as an attribute. After I click the plus icon, I get more attribute options.
In this example, I'll pick Other and I'll get a huge list of things I can search for. Fortunately, I can search within all those options.
I'll put in Size and the Finder will show me all the size attributes. I'll pick File Size. If I want to save time in the future, I can pick In Menu so that I'll always see that as an option without going to other.
Here I'll put File Size and then pick is greater than in the middle field. For size, I'll put 1 and then select MB, so I know they are larger PDFs.
Need even more fields to search on? Don't forget that you can create Tags in the Finder.
If your Mac has a solid state drive, you don't have the capacity of a mechanical drive. Eventually, you'll start running out of hard drive space. If you need to figure out what's taking up all the space, create a Smart Folder of large files.
In the Finder, go to File->New Smart Folder. Select File Size from the first drop down menu. Then in the middle pick is greater than. For the final field, I set mine to 1 GB. That will find all the files larger than 1 gigabyte. Those are probably disk images I can get rid of. Large Files is a suggested name for this Smart Folder.
Need ideas on freeing up space on your Mac? We have some great tips here.
While some installers have clear names, others are somewhat cryptic (Microsoft I'm looking at you!) If I don't know the name of the installer, I'll have trouble finding it. Once I see the name, I'll probably understand what I'm looking for. I'll create a Smart Folder with the left menu as File Extension.
Unless you picked this option recently, you'll have to select Other. In the Other options, select File Extension. Then set the next field to DMG. DMG is the file format for most Apple installer files.
I probably still won't remember X16-92852-EN is Office 2011 for Mac, but with a short list of installers, the odds are in my favor. You can label this Smart Folder Installer files.
I download my bill each month from my mobile provider, but I can't always find it. Just like installers, the name isn't descriptive enough for me. The bonus with this Smart Folder is it will also search out email attachments. You'll need to look at the Other options again when setting up the search.
This time, you want to pick Where from. Then pick matches and then the source of the file. In this example, I want all the files from att.com. There's my bill from last month!
Smart Folders being dumb? It could be Spotlight's fault. Here's how to fix Spotlight, which Smart Folders rely on.
Remember the "smart" idea works in other Apple programs. My mailbox is filled with receipts from Amazon, Newegg, and other major online vendors. When I want to find a receipt quickly, I just look at one of my Smart Mailboxes. In Apple's Mail program, go to Mailbox->New Smart Mailbox.
In Mail, you have more options to set up searches. In this example, I want all my Amazon purchases in one Smart Mailbox. In the left search field, pick From and then in the middle pick contains. In the last field, type the name of the company the receipt comes from. In this case, it's Amazon.com.
Time-saving tip: If you select a receipt and then pick New Smart Mailbox, Apple fills in the return address when you select From.
The "smart" concept in contacts is Smart Groups. In contacts, I created a group for everyone at a certain company. That helps when I can remember where the person works, but I can't remember their name. I could search my contacts, but if I do this often, a Smart Group saves me time.
To create a Smart Group, pick New Smart Group from the Contacts menu.
Time-saving tip: If you do the search and then select New Smart Group, Apple lets you create a Smart Group based on the current search.
Now that you have some ideas, don't waste time on your Mac searching for things all the time. Smart Folders keep you organized and efficient.
I have a passion for helping people make technology work.
For my day job, I own a computer repair business in Lawrence, Kansas. Drawing on my support background, I focus on practical technology from the user perspective. I enjoy it all: Android, Chrome OS, iOS, MacOS, Windows and everything in between.


MILES CITY — The Miles Community College baseball program has signed a player from Wyoming and another from Australia for the 2019-2020 season.
Joining the Pioneers are Sheridan outfielder Jaron Brewer and pitcher Maxim Watson from Brisbrane, Australia.
Brewer batted .305 last season with a fielding percentage of .920.
Watson, a left-handed pitcher, currently attends Iona College in Brisbane. He was a member of the QLD State team (2016-19), the U18 Schoolboys QLD Team (2017-19) and the U15 Australian World Cup team.


In terms of your Bitcoin cash with BTC it will become imperative for various individuals, with unique forms of advantages. When it has to do with money, most people and companies just need a currency that's stable, widely accepted and cheap and simple to transact. The optimal solution is to diversify your exchange wallets sufficient to provide access to the majority of coins you demand.
Withdraw your funds to earn sense for money what the consequences would be utilized when you can, and at times even changes the world. If you're dealing with these factors is the least expensive approach. Maybe 34% provide a participation in income and the huge majority provides only an upcoming promise.
With Ripple, you can send money overseas in an issue of a couple seconds and the fee you will pay will be a lot lower in contrast to those charged by centralized financial companies including Western Union. There are is bitcoin mining worth it a lot of markets to cover your expenses, and security.
They're attempting to profit of a couple really fine facts. The past week has seen a whole lot of pain for cryptocurrency investors as the whole market was in a vast funk. The aim was never to permit the invention of scripts that are intended to diminish the long-term viability of Bitcoin, and to this end miners are going to be able to recover this type of funds as though they were salvaging sunken treasure.
Bitcoin miners have built sophisticated strategies to mine bitcoins at a really efficient speed. But this type of passive income also will come with prohibitively large capital costs which make it difficult for individual miners to profit. Affordable electricity and cold temperatures are the key explanations for why miners in the country continue to be capable of building a profit at this moment, as shown by a report from Nikkei.
Sebastian initially bought a little contract and slowly reinvested his earnings to purchase bigger ones. If you take part in an ICO you're giving a start up potentially a fortune in exchange for vague promises. If https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Georgetown_University you lose your private key you've got no way to recoup your assets.
It's not therefore as a lot of black market tool as people generally appear to think. I hardly doubt that, but it's probably less important than lots of people believe. I believe this time the individuals will finally win.
In any case, nothing beats the sensation of purchasing discounted coins with fresh fiat! You don't ever want to depart from your coins on an exchange. It's also one of the stable coins since it functions as an alternate to U.S. dollar.
To recognize the capacity of this technology will be bigger than the web, states Di Iorio. Thorough information concerning the vital areas of the industry place and their growth potential customers are supplied in the report. In addition you've got the choice to choose your favourite plan in accordance with your financial skill.
Scandals about the important stablecoin have been happening for ages. What's more, it's unclear in the event the audit checked past accounts too, or only the current one. Transferring big sums ought to be done in batches, which would reduce one's in general exposure.

The Russian Revolution was worth it—it gives hope of a better future
The revolution of 1917 showed another world is possible, what that world could look like—and how we can make it happen
Published Mon 11 Dec 2017
The revolution inspired socialists across the world
The Russian Revolution of 1917 remains the only time in history when workers have seized state power.
It put a country of 150 million people under workers' control. There has never been anything like it before or since.
The revolution gave a glimpse of what a socialist society could look like.
It transformed world history, ending the First World War and bringing down three empires. It inspired revolts across the world.
The experience of the revolution, and the writings of Marxists involved in it, would help a new generation of socialists fight for socialism from below.
And it gave everyone who wants to see socialism an example to learn from.
Today we are told that fundamental change is impossible. We are told that racism, sexism, war and inequality are natural. We are told that workers can't run things themselves.
The Russian Revolution shows all of this to be false.
Soldiers instructed vast armies and workers elected committees to run factories. Peasants threw out the landlords and took control of land.
Workers' self-organisation chanelled the power that could see control of the state taken from the bosses.
The old capitalist state was torn up and a new workers' state developed. Workers' councils called soviets, made up of elected delegates, ran society. Delegates were subject to immediate recall.
The revolution relied on the active and informed involvement of ordinary people.
As Bolshevik leader Lenin put it, "Socialism cannot be decreed from above. Living, creative socialism is the product of the masses themselves."
When the Bolsheviks negotiated over the First World War they exposed the allied powers' secret deals.
The revolution brought in measures to liberate women—such as the right to divorce and to abortion—decades before capitalist countries did. It pushed back the most virulent, entrenched antisemitism.
It handed independence to former colonies of Russia.
The Russian Revolution showed that fundamentally transforming society requires a new workers' state. The revolution made huge gains before October, but it hadn't brought about socialism.
The capitalist state—the army, the police, the judiciary and the civil service—exists to protect a tiny minority. It can't be used to build socialism that can deliver for the majority.
Left wing governments that have tried to win change using that state have bent to the will of the rich or only made limited gains.
But the Russian Revolution didn't bring about lasting socialism. Those who led it argued that it had to spread to survive.
Unfortunately revolts elsewhere failed and a vicious counter-revolution, aided by 14 invading armies, eventually crushed the new society. Stalinism was the result.
But the power of the revolution—and the scale of transformation it wrought—were such that those who had been part of it remained hopeful.
After its defeat Leon Trotsky wrote, "My faith in the communist future of mankind is not less ardent, indeed it is firmer today than it was in the days of my youth."
Our rulers hate the revolution because it shows that another world is possible—and that workers are the force to bring it about.
And if we could do it in 1917, we can do it today.

The purchase of villas in Arabian Ranches by large numbers of Western expatriates (notably from Emirates and its associated companies) gave the school a head start.
JESS has always maintained that it is an inclusive and non-selective school and currently has approximately 45 Students of Determination, with additional learning needs. The school's Oasis Centre has been offering support to students since its opening in Arabian Ranches, and one for which there is no additional fee. The school makes good use of its nine-acre site and its facilities are every bit as good as any of the best profit-making schools with 70 teaching areas, Science and ICT labs, Art, Drama and Design Technology facilities, an independent music centre, a 500-seater Auditorium, 1000 sq metre sports hall, two temperature-controlled, shaded swimming pools, equipped playground areas and extensive playing fields.

Perrys: 'Social media? You've got to be in it to win it'
by Rebecca Chaplin
Home Interviews
IF THERE'S one dealer in the UK which has grasped the concept of social media, it's Perrys.
The dealer group has had a presence on a variety of social media outlets over the past few years, but its profile has risen dramatically of late. So much so, the company's activity on Twitter saw it top our Top 100 Most Influential Car Dealers list earlier this year. And the man driving Perrys forward is chairman Ken Savage.
'We've taken social media very seriously,' he tells me. 'We recognised we were behind the game compared to other dealers, so I recruited an additional manager to look after our social accounts and drive them forward. He's just taken us to a whole new level.'
The man Savage is referring to is Perrys' digital marketing manager Lee Manning, and Savage admits he had to take the leap into properly embracing social media because it's so important to car sales these days.
'I'm not sure whether social media is selling us that many cars right now, but I think it could do in the future,' he says.
'Social media at the present is very similar to websites. If you look back to around 2001 when we were looking at websites, it was such a small part of our business that I remember thinking then it won't sell us many cars – but look at it now. I've taken the same view with social media – you've got to be in it to win it and you need be to involved early on to really find your feet and learn it.' Savage believes social media is great in attracting customers – they may not be ready to buy for another three, four or five years, but social subconsciously 'catches' them now.
'Even for people who are not aware of Perrys, it reaffirms the name as a substantial and household name, and I think the other thing is that it opens our doors to say Perrys is not just a logo but there's actually people working for Perrys. We certainly try to get that last point over with our Facebook pages.'
Savage regularly updates Perrys' Facebook presence with photos of his latest acquisition – a 1987 Ford Capri Brooklands 280 with only 27,000 miles on the clock.
'I bought it on a whim. I woke up one morning and just went and bought it. In that era, I remember buying myself an XR2 but I still hankered after a Capri.'
Savage also updates Facebook followers with news of his activities on the race track in the Lotus Cup UK with his Lotus Two Eleven.
'This is my seventh season now and I've got the bug really badly. My son and I race together and it's great fun – although he is really irritated by the fact that I'm still quicker than him!'
But, like most dealer group bosses, Savage finds it difficult to disassociate his personal life from his business life. For instance, if there's a call from the office while he is racing, he'll take it.
'When you're running a business, you've got to be accessible. So, whether you're on holiday or at a race track you've got to deal with those calls,' he says. Savage joined Perrys in June 2000 specifically to handle the management buy-out that was completed in March 2001. Before this, he was at Quicks Group for about 10 years in a series of finance roles. Therefore he's a man who has an eye for numbers, so it's no surprise that he has hauled the business out of the recession and into the big time.
'The recession for us, wasn't any worse or any better than for anyone else,' he remarks. 'We really hit the wall in August 2008 – and it was red across the page in terms of profitability.
'We had to take the actions and look really hard at our cost base. The workforce was the biggest part of that cost base and we had to trim things back to make sure the business was viable going forward.
'We did that and I remember 2009 was actually a good year; 2010 was a bit harder – the recession was a bit of a bumpy ride and we were in it and then out of it. But 2013 was a really strong year for us and this year is proving to be even stronger.'
And on that point – what are Savage's expectations this year? 'Everyone I speak to is having a good time. What we do as management is put the business in a position that takes advantage of the market – and there's definitely a market there. Certainly the first quarter of this year was very strong; it seems to have gone a little lighter in the second quarter but we are still looking pretty good. Once companies are on a roll, they continue to be on a roll.'

Edge Park Medical started in 1928 as a corner pharmacy and has expanded to today where they are the industry leader in home delivery of disposable medical products. This growth and expansion continues for them today as they are constantly adding new products to their inventory requiring more storage space and even new warehouses in order to store all of their products.
The Mezzanine Company was contacted by Geis Construction who had the job of building out one of these new warehouses for Edge Park Medical. Geis turned to us for the mezzanine part of the project. We needed to come up with a plan that would gain them the maximum amount of space while also fitting into all of the other layout plans they had for this new building.
They wanted it to be completed soon as they were looking to start using their new warehouse as soon as possible.
The building was not completed yet so timing the install would be difficult.
Through many conversations with the both Edge Park Medical and Geis Construction, we settled on a 15,000 square foot design that would integrate with the rack system in the new warehouse. For access to the mezzanine we added 2 IBC stairs with top landings so that the entire central area could be used for storage. We also included several 4' lift out gates which we designed to have installed next to each other allowing for a 4' to 8' size opening to be created depending on their needs.
The mezzanine was designed to be 12 feet tall with a clear height of 10 feet allowing for full sized shelving units to go underneath as well as on top of it maximizing the storage space gained by the mezzanine.
Spent extra time working with Geis Construction to perfectly time out the install within their construction timeframe. We made special visits to the site, while the building was still being constructed, to determine when the building was complete enough for us to begin our work. When we started, the building was still only 2/3 completed!
Worked closely with our installer, and arranged for overtime work and extra crew members to be brought in so that it could be installed faster than usual.
In the end, we made sure that the overall timeframe for the project was met and Edge Park Medical could begin using their new warehouse right away.


A prominent seasoning in Eastern society, the majority of people have no idea just how best turmeric powder advantages your health, yet it is so powerful (as well as yummy) that anyone that is interested in living a lengthy and healthy life ought to familiarize just exactly how this seasoning can impact your health.
Curcumin isn't really a spice itself but is just one of the active ingredients of Tumeric the prominent Indian flavor.

In downtown Manhattan, the long-awaited National 9/11 Memorial opened on the 10th anniversary of the infamous tragedy, surrounded by the chaos of daily construction. In remembrance of the victims and for the unity of a nation, two reflecting pools – "Reflecting Absence" – reside as remnant voids of the fallen towers, relatively discrete within the partially completed plaza.
The plaza is designed to light people and provide easy wayfinding to the exits. After extensive studies and select site visits around Manhattan, we were able to dissuade city officials that the initial 5 footcandle requirement for the plaza was excessive. When finished, the horizontal and vertical illuminance for the plaza will be .5 footcandles.
Driven by NYC code and the technical exigencies of the fountains, we collaborated closely with the manufacturer to design a submersible, low voltage LED luminaire. Lining the base of each pool, the custom fixtures illuminate the falling water creating a powerful reflection that oscillates between celebration and sorrow.

Q: Java thread safe, data races and good implementation I'm coding a spring controller declaring some private hashmap and updating them in some methods. Of course, I'm aware of problem of concurrent access, so I'm using the most simple way to avoid these problem: "syncronised" java thread safe capability. But I was wondering if I should synchronise my method or only the hashmap I need to thread safely update:
@Controller
public class myController{

private HashMap<String, String> myHashMap = new HashMap<String, String>();

...

//That way ?
public synchronized updateMyHashmap(){
myHashMap.add(value);
}

//or this way ?
public static void updateMyHashMap(){
synchronized(myHashMap){
myHashMap.add(value)
}
}

}

These methods are equivalent ? Will I have the same behavior of application ?

A: These methods are not equivalent.
synchronized on a method synchronizes on this, so:
public synchronized updateMyHashmap(){
    myHashMap.add(value);
}

is equivalent to:
public updateMyHashmap(){
    synchronized(this) {
        myHashMap.add(value);
    }
}

Here, this is the instance of myController. (Side-note: it's usually recommended to start class names in Java with a capital letter).
You second method is incorrect and shouldn't compile, since you're accessing a non-static member (myHashMap) from a static method.
Assuming it wasn't static, it would synchronize on the hashmap and not the myController instance.
What you want to synchronize on will almost certainly depend on what else you want to do in this synchronized block (for example, where does this value come from, did it have to be taken from somewhere else, and does the whole operation need to be synchronized using the myController instance).
I would suggest reading Java Concurrency in Practice to learn more about synchronization problems.

A: If the myHashMap variable is private and only accessed via your myController methods, then you only need to synchronize the methods. To put it another way, if you synchronize your methods, they will be thread safe, but if you then directly access your myHashMap variable without using a synchronize block/method then you can subvert the lock.
To put it in even simpler terms. If you have a room with a door that allows one person in at a time then you'll only ever have one person in the room at a time... but if you put a window in the room then you can still jump into the room via the window. :)
EDIT: To elaborate. By placing synchronized on the method as a keyword your critical section will be created for the entirety of the method, that means that from that to end of the method call, nothing else will be able to run in that object. By using close blocks, you can hop in and out of critical sections as you need to. Say you had a method with 100 lines, that for 10 lines needed to use a shared resource, if you put synchronized on the method the object would be locked for the whole 100 lines of code, but if you put the lock around only the 10 lines you need, you'd only have a critical section on the 10 lines.
It's all about the situation you're in. For the example you've given there is absolutely no difference.

A: I would use a ConcurrentHashMap and not bother manually synchronizing access.
Making methods static won't help you much here; especially since you need an object to synchronize on, which is normally this.

A: These two are some different things but can be used to fulfill same kind of purpose.
See here,
//Here you are locking your method
public synchronized updateMyHashmap(){

   System.out.println("Inside method");

   //some code

   myHashMap.add(value);
}

Now in this method
public updateMyHashmap(){

  //Some code here

  System.out.println("Inside method")

  synchronized(this) {
      myHashMap.add(value);
  }
}

So I think you can now easily see the difference between these two strategies. It depends on what you want to do and according to that you can choose any one of them.
It is more advisable to synchronized the object you want to lock.

So then I compared Techstars, Entrepreneurs First and Ignite, as a simple investor. To the outside world they are all the same but to me they are completely different.
Techstars operates as fund and as such does not allow me as an investor to claim SEIS/EIS ( on initial investment or on exit ) which can make my returns a lot less as a pure %. But Techstars is great at helping companies raise decent rounds after the program.
Ignite teams are generally less developed after the program than Techstars and mostly raise smaller rounds. But IGNITE is SEIS/EIS friendly investment and the people at Ignite have managed most of the legal and documenting filling, and as such has tax advantages without the paperwork nightmares. Several startups have evolved into companies that have raised at high valuations now.

5 Killed in Large Avalanche in Canada Friday:
AvyBrains | January 31, 2016 |
5 snowmobilers were killed in a large avalanche near McBride, B.C. yesterday, according to Donita Cuzma of the British Columbia Coroners Service. It's being reported that all of the deceased were from Alberta and between the ages of 40 and 55. The avalanche occurred on the flanks of Mt. Renshaw.
Donita also reported that two groups of snowmobilers were involved in the avalanche and that 6 people were rescued from the avalanche by search and rescue personnel. One person was reportedly taken to the hospital with a dislocated knee.
Area photo of mountains near the avalanche in McBride. photo taken yesterday by CBC.
The avalanche occurred at around 1:30pm on Friday and was reported by a member of a search and rescue team who was snowmobiling in the area. The avalanche is reported to have been large at 2,300-feet wide and ran for 2,500-feet.
The area where the avalanche took place is an designated snowmobiling area.
Avalanche danger was rated at "Considerable" (3 out of 5) which is the rating that most people die under.
"Avalanche Canada has received a report of what is described as a very large, significant avalanche event near McBride in the North Rockies. There are layers of concern in the snowpack in many parts of this region (and others) and a fairly significant weather event added rain and snow to the snowpack over the last few days followed by clearing and cooling today." – Avalanche Canada, yesterday
Location of avalanche.
Avalanche Canada is reporting that this was a human triggered avalanche.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) and search and rescue were quick to respond to the avalanche with a helicopter and more.
Two men died in an avalanche in McBride in March 2015. One was buried under 15-feet of avalanche debris.
There have now been 6 deaths in Canada this winter, all in British Columbia. Another snowmobiler died in an avalanche last weekend in B.C.
The USA has seen 14 avalanche deaths this winter with 11 in the month of January alone.
Our condolences to all in involved.
