Aims The Journal of Pharmacopuncture is an international, peer-reviewed open-access journal published in English by the Korean Pharmacopuncture Institute (KPI). The journal has provided high-quality papers quarterly since it was launched in 1997. Its ISSN was changed in September 2010 from 1226-4849 to 2093-6966 when its title was changed from daehanyakchimhakhweiji to the Journal of Pharmacopuncture. The journal aims to publish evidence-based, scientific research papers in the multidisciplinary field of traditional and modern medicine through a strict review process by a panel of experts. As an international journal, the Journal of Pharmacopuncture also aims to present major advances and new developments contributing to the advancement of complementary and alternative medicine, with a special focus on pharmacology, acupuncture and a combination of pharmacology and acupuncture. The journal is dedicated to disseminating current data and ideas and fostering debate on issues related to complementary and alternative medicine and to providing better information to both the general public and experts. In addition, the journal requires high standards of research ethics to maintain the integrity of science. The official title of the journal is the 'Journal of Pharmacopuncture' and the abbreviated title is 'J. Pharmacopunct'. For submission, see the details at http://www.journal-pharm.com. Scope The Journal of Pharmacopuncture covers a wide range of basic and clinical science research relevant to all aspects of the biotechnology of integrated approaches using both pharmacology and acupuncture therapeutics, including research involving pharmacology, acupuncture studies and pharmacopuncture studies. The subjects are mainly divided into three categories: pharmacology (applied phytomedicine, plant sciences, pharmacology, toxicology, medicinal plants, traditional medicines, herbal medicine, Sasang constitutional medicine, herbal formulae, foods, agricultural technologies, naturopathy, etc.), acupuncture (acupressure, electroacupuncture, laser acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, etc.), and pharmacopuncture (aqua-acupuncture, meridian pharmacopuncture, eight-principles pharmacopuncture, animal-based pharmacopuncture, mountain ginseng pharmacopuncture, bee venom therapy, needle embedding therapy, implant therapy, etc.). Other categories include chuna treatment, veterinary acupuncture and related animal studies, alternative medicines for treating cancer and cancer-related symptoms, etc. Broader topical coverage on the effects of acupuncture, the medical plants used in traditional and alternative medicine, pharmacological action and other related modalities, such as anthroposophy, homeopathy, ayurveda, bioelectromagnetic therapy, chiropractic, neural therapy and meditation, can be considered to be within the journal's scope if based on acupoints and meridians.

Effects of Herbal Medicine (Gan Mai Da Zao Decoction) on Several Types of Neuropsychiatric Disorders in an Animal Model: A Systematic Review - Herbal medicine for animal studies of neuropsychiatric diseases -
Kim, Su Ran;Lee, Hye Won;Jun, Ji Hee;Ko, Byoung-Seob 5
https://doi.org/10.3831/KPI.2017.20.005 PDF KSCI
Objectives: Gan Mai Da Zao (GMDZ) decoction is widely used for the treatment of various diseases of the internal organ and of the central nervous system. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of GMDZ decoction on neuropsychiatric disorders in an animal model. Methods: We searched seven databases for randomized animal studies published until April 2015: Pubmed, four Korean databases (DBpia, Oriental Medicine Advanced Searching Integrated System, Korean Studies Information Service System, and Research Information Sharing Service), and one Chinese database (China National Knowledge Infrastructure). The randomized animal studies were included if the effects of GMDZ decoction were tested on neuropsychiatric disorders. All articles were read in full and extracted predefined criteria by two independent reviewers. Results: From a total of 258 hits, six randomized controlled animal studies were included. Five studies used a Sprague Dawley rat model for acute psychological stress, post-traumatic stress disorders, and unpredictable mild stress depression whereas one study used a Kunming mouse model for prenatal depression. The results of the studies showed that GMDZ decoction improved the related outcomes. Conclusion: Regardless of the dose and concentration used, GMDZ decoction significantly improved neuropsychiatric disease-related outcomes in animal models. However, additional systematic and extensive studies should be conducted to establish a strong conclusion.
Boswellic Acid Improves Cognitive Function in a Rat Model Through Its Antioxidant Activity - Neuroprotective effect of Boswellic acid -
Ebrahimpour, Saeedeh;Fazeli, Mehdi;Mehri, Soghra;Taherianfard, Mahnaz;Hosseinzadeh, Hossein 10
Objectives: Boswellic acid (BA), a compound isolated from the gum-resin of Boswellia carterii, is a pentacyclic terpenoid that is active against many inflammatory diseases, including cancer, arthritis, chronic colitis, ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease, and memory impairment, but the mechanism is poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of boswellic acid on spatial learning and memory impairment induced by trimethyltin (TMT) in Wistar rats. Methods: Forty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: Normal group, TMT-administrated rats (8.0 mg/kg, Intraperitoneally, i.p.) and TMT + BA (40, 80 and 160 mg/kg, i.p.)-administrated rats. BA was used daily for 21 days. To evaluate the cognitive improving of BA, we performed the Morris water maze test. Moreover, to investigate the neuroprotective effect of BA, we determined the acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity, the malondialdehyde (MDA) level as a marker of lipid peroxidation, and the glutathione (GSH) content in the cerebral cortex. Results: Treatment with TMT impaired learning and memory, and treatment with BA at a dose of 160 mg/kg produced a significant improvement in learning and memory abilities in the water maze tasks. Consistent with behavioral data, the activity of AChE was significantly increased in the TMT-injected rats compared to the control group (P < 0.01) whereas all groups treated with BA presented a more significant inhibitory effect against AChE than the TMT-injected animals. In addition, TMT reduced the GSH content and increased the MDA level in the cerebral cortex as compared to the control group) P < 0.01). On the other hand, treatment with BA at 160 mg/kg slightly increased the GSH content and reduced the MDA level in comparison to the TMT-administered group (P < 0.01). Conclusion: The above results suggest that the effect of BA in improving the cognitive function may be mediated through its antioxidant activity.

Singh, Mukesh Kumar;Pandey, Ajit;Sawarkar, Hemant;Gupta, Anshita;Gidwani, Bina;Dhongade, Hemant;Tripathi, Dulal Krishna 18
Objectives: The current investigation was carried out to determine the cytotoxic and the antimicrobial activities of methanolic extracts of Plumbago zeylanica. Methods: The stems, leaves, and whole plants were air dried and extracted with methanol by using a Soxhlet extractor for 72 hours at $55-60^{\circ}C$. The antimicrobial activities were determined from the zones of inhibition, which were measured by using the agar well diffusion method, and the cytotoxicity assays were performed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay method. Results: The methanolic extracts of the stem and the leaves of Plumbago zeylanica were tested against six bacterial species and nine fungal species, and both extracts showed antimicrobial activity in a dose-dependent manner. The leaf extract of Plumbago zeylanica showed maximum antimicrobial activity against both Staphylococcus aureus sub sp aureus and Fusarium oxysporum. The stem extract was found to be more antimicrobial against the Pseudomonas aeruginosa and the Penicillium expansum species. MTT assays were used to test the cytotoxicity of the whole plant extract in the HCT-116 and the K-562 cell lines, and that extract was shown to have weak cytotoxicity in both cell lines. Conclusion: In the present study, the methanolic stem extracts of Plumbago zeylanica were found to possess remarkable antibacterial activities against many human and agricultural pathogens. The extracts were also found to possess significant antifungal activities, but the antifungal activities were less than the antibacterial activities. Finally, the extracts were found to have weak cytotoxicities in the HCT-116 and the K-562 cell lines.
Restricted Blood Flow Exercise in Sedentary, Overweight African-American Females May Increase Muscle Strength and Decrease Endothelial Function and Vascular Autoregulation
Bond, Vernon;Curry, Bryan Heath;Kumar, Krishna;Pemminati, Sudhakar;Gorantla, Vasavi Rakesh;Kadur, Kishan;Millis, Richard Mark 23
Objectives: Exercise with partially restricted blood flow is a low-load, low-intensity resistance training regimen which may have the potential to increase muscle strength in the obese, elderly and frail who are unable to do high-load training. Restricted blood flow exercise has also been shown to affect blood vessel function variably and can, therefore, contribute to blood vessel dysfunction. This pilot study tests the hypothesis that unilateral resistance training of the leg extensors with partially restricted blood flow increases muscle strength and decreases vascular autoregulation. Methods: The subjects were nine normotensive, overweight, young adult African-Americans with low cardiorespiratory fitness who underwent unilateral training of the quadriceps' femoris muscles with partially restricted blood flow at 30% of the 1-repetition maximum (1-RM) load for 3 weeks. The 1-RM load and post-occlusion blood flow to the lower leg (calf) were measured during reactive hyperemia. Results: The 1-RM load increased in the trained legs from $77{\pm}3$ to $84{\pm}4 kg$ (P < 0.05) in the absence of a significant effect on the 1-RM load in the contralateral untrained legs (P > 0.1). Post-occlusion blood flow decreased significantly in the trained legs from $19{\pm}2$ to $13{\pm}2mL{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}dL^{-1}$ (P < 0.05) and marginally in the contralateral untrained legs from $18{\pm}2$ to $16{\pm}1mL{\cdot}min^{-1}{\cdot}dL^{-1}$ (P = 0.09). Changes in post-occlusion blood flow to the skin overlying the trained and the contralateral untrained muscles were not significant. Conclusion: These results demonstrate that restricted blood flow exercise, which results in significant gains in muscle strength, may produce decrements in endothelial dysfunction and vascular autoregulation. Future studies should determine whether pharmacopuncture plays a role in treatments for such blood vessel dysfunction.
Anti-Aging Effect of Nigella Sativa Fixed Oil on D-Galactose-Induced Aging in Mice
Shahroudi, Mahdieh Jafari;Mehri, Soghra;Hosseinzadeh, Hossein 29
Objectives: Aging is an unconscious and gradual process that can lead to changes in biological systems. Induction of oxidative stress and apoptosis, hepatotoxicity and neurotoxicity are involved in the aging process. Regarding the antioxidant property of black seed oil, the aim of this study was to evaluate the anti-aging effect of Nigella sativa (N. sativa) oil on d-galactose-induced aging in mice. Methods: For induction of aging, D-galactose (500 mg/kg, subcoutaneously SC) was administrated to male mice for 42 days. Animals were treated with D-galactose alone or with b lack seed oil (0.1, 0.2, 0.5 mL/kg, intraperitoneally (ip)). Additionally, vitamin E (200 mg/kg) was used as a positive control. At the end of treatment, the malondialdehyde (MDA) and the glutathione (GSH) contents in brain and liver tissues were measured. Also, enzymes in serum, including aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine amino transferase (ALT), were determined. The levels of the proteins Bax, Bcl2, caspase-3 (pro and cleaved) in brain and liver tissues were evaluated. Results: Administration of D-galactose (500 mg/kg, SC) for 42 days increased serum levels of ALT and AST, as well as the MDA content, in brain and liver tissues, but decreased the GSH content. Additionally, the levels of apoptotic proteins, including Bax, procaspase-3 and caspase-3 cleaved, were markedly increased. N. sativa oil (0.1 and 0.2 mL/kg) diminished the levels of the biochemical markers ALT and AST. Administration of black seed oil (0.1, 0.2 and 0.5 mL/kg) reduced lipid peroxidation and at doses 0.1 and 0.2 mL/kg significantly recovered the GSH content. The oil decreased Bax/Bcl2 levels and at 0.1 mL/kg down-regulated the expressions of caspase-3 (pro and cleaved) proteins in brain and liver tissues. Conclusion: Through its antioxidant and anti-apoptosis properties, black seed oil exhibited an anti-aging effect in a model of aging induced with D-galactose.

Thakur, Kapil;Gudi, Ramacharya;Vahalia, Mahesh;Shitut, Shekhar;Nadkarni, Shailesh 36
Objectives: The goal of this study was to characterize Suvarna Bhasma Parada Marit by using the Ayurvedic test parameters, physico-chemical tests, and various instrumentation techniques. Methods: Suvarna Bhasma, an Ayurvedic formulation manufactured as per Bharat Bhaishajya Ratnakar 5/8357 (BBR), has been studied using various instrumentation techniques: X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDAX), laser particle size distribution (PSD) analysis, fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), and physico-chemical parameters, such as the loss on drying (LOD), loss on ignition (LOI), and acid insoluble Ash (AIA) were determined. In addition, Ayurvedic tests, such as Rekhapurnatva (enterable in the furrows of the fingers), Varitaratwa (floatable over water), Nirdhoomta (smokeless), Dantagre Kach-Kach (gritty particle feeling between the teeth), were performed. Results: The XRD study showed Suvarna Bhasma to be crystalline in nature and to contain more than 98% gold. The mean size of the gold crystallites was less than 10 microns, and the morphology was globular and irregular. Suvarna Bhasma contains gold as its single and major element, with EDAX and FT-IR spectra showing that it is more than 98% pure gold. The moisture content (LOD) is less than 0.5%, the LOI is less than 2%, and the AIA is not less than 95%. The Ayurvedic tests, as specified above, helped to confirm the quality of Suvarna bhasma prepared as per the text reference (BBR). Conclusion: This chemical characterization of Suvarna Bhasma performed in this study by using modern instrumentation techniques will be helpful in understanding its pharmacological actions and will help in establishing quality protocols and specifications to substantiate the safety, efficacy & quality of Suvarna Bhasma.
Anti-Diabetic Effects of an Ethanol Extract of Cassia Abbreviata Stem Bark on Diabetic Rats and Possible Mechanism of Its Action - Anti-diabetic Properties of Cassia abbreviata -
Bati, Keagile;Kwape, Tebogo Elvis;Chaturvedi, Padmaja 45
Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the hypoglycemic effects of an ethanol extract of Cassia abbreviata (ECA) bark and the possible mechanisms of its action in diabetic albino rats. Methods: ECA was prepared by soaking the powdered plant material in 70% ethanol. It was filtered and made solvent-free by evaporation on a rotary evaporator. Type 2 diabetes was induced in albino rats by injecting 35 mg/kg body weight (bw) of streptozotocin after having fed the rats a high-fat diet for 2 weeks. Diabetic rats were divided into ECA-150, ECA-300 and Metformin (MET)-180 groups, where the numbers are the doses in mg.kg.bw administered to the groups. Normal (NC) and diabetic (DC) controls were given distilled water. The animals had their fasting blood glucose levels and body weights determined every 7 days for 21 days. Oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) were carried out in all animals at the beginning and the end of the experiment. Liver and kidney samples were harvested for glucose 6 phosphatase (G6Pase) and hexokinase activity analyses. Small intestines and diaphragms from normal rats were used for ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ and glucose uptake studies against the extract. Results: Two doses, 150 and 300 mg/kg bw, significantly reduced the fasting blood glucose levels in diabetic rats and helped them maintain normal body weights. The glucose level in DC rats significantly increased while their body weights decreased. The 150 mg/kg bw dose significantly increased hexokinase and decreased G6Pase activities in the liver and the kidneys. ECA inhibited ${\alpha}-glucosidase$ activity and promoted glucose uptake in the rats' hemi-diaphragms. Conclusion: This study revealed that ECA normalized blood glucose levels and body weights in type 2 diabetic rats. The normalization of the glucose levels may possibly be due to inhibition of ${\alpha}-glucosidase$, decreased G6Pase activity, increased hexokinase activity and improved glucose uptake by muscle tissues.
Treatment with Rutin - A Therapeutic Strategy for Neutrophil-Mediated Inflammatory and Autoimmune Diseases - Anti-inflammatory Effects of Rutin on Neutrophils -
Nikfarjam, Bahareh Abd;Adineh, Mohtaram;Hajiali, Farid;Nassiri-Asl, Marjan 52
Objectives: Neutrophils represent the front line of human defense against infections. Immediately after stimulation, neutrophilic enzymes are activated and produce toxic mediators such as pro-inflammatory cytokines, nitric oxide (NO) and myeloperoxidase (MPO). These mediators can be toxic not only to infectious agents but also to host tissues. Because flavonoids exhibit antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, they are subjects of interest for pharmacological modulation of inflammation. In the present study, the effects of rutin on stimulus-induced NO and tumor necrosis factor $(TNF)-{\alpha}$ productions and MPO activity in human neutrophils were investigated. Methods: Human peripheral blood neutrophils were isolated using Ficoll-Hypaque density gradient centrifugation coupled with dextran T500 sedimentation. The cell preparations containing > 98% granulocytes were determined by morphological examination through Giemsa staining. Neutrophils were cultured in complete Roswell Park Memorial Institute (RPMI) medium, pre-incubated with or without rutin ($25{\mu}M$) for 45 minutes, and stimulated with phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA). Then, the $TNF-{\alpha}$, NO and MPO productions were analyzed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), Griess Reagent, and MPO assay kits, respectively. Also, the viability of human neutrophils was assessed using tetrazolium salt 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT), and neutrophils were treated with various concentrations of rutin ($1-100{\mu}M$), after which MTT was appended and incubated at $37^{\circ}C$ for 4 hour. Results: Rutin at concentrations up to $100{\mu}M$ did not affect neutrophil viability during the 4-hour incubation period. Rutin significantly decreased the NO and $TNF-{\alpha}$ productions in human peripheral blood neutrophils compared to PMA-control cells (P < 0.001). Also, MPO activity was significantly reduced by rutin (P < 0.001). Conclusion: In this in vitro study, rutin had an anti-inflammatory effect due to its inhibiting NO and $TNF-{\alpha}$ productions, as well as MPO activity, in activated human neutrophils. Treatment with rutin may be considered as a therapeutic strategy for neutrophil-mediated inflammatory/autoimmune diseases.
The Use of Korean Medicine to Treat Patients with Spinobulbar Muscular Atrophy, Kennedy's Disease - A Case Study
Lee, Seongjin;Cha, Eunhye;Lee, Jongcheol;Lee, Jongdeok;Song, Inja;Kim, Sungchul 57
Objectives: Studies involving patients with spinobulbar muscular atrophy (SBMA), which is often referred to as Kennedy's disease, similar to those involving patients with progressive muscular disease (PMD), are rare. This paper reports a case study involving the use of Korean medicine to treat a patient with SBMA. Methods: We treated a patient with SBMA with unique symptoms by using various kinds of pharmacopuncture and herbal medicines for about two and a half years. After the treatment had ended, we evaluated the patient's conditions and the side effects of the treatment. Results: After treatment, the patient's symptoms were stabilized, and the patient suffered no abnormalities or side effects. No special changes in condition were noted during treatment period, and the patient was very satisfied with his response to treatment. Conclusion: Existing treatments have some considerable after effects and are difficult to apply in domestic clinics. In this regard, our findings should open possibilities for new clinical guidelines. Nevertheless, the limitations associated with this case study should be resolved, and more studies need to be conducted.

U.S. to ratchet up sanctions on Iran
By Jay Jackson, Johannesburg Life
The president says the proposed heightened penalties are in response to Iran enriching uranian for a long time and in secret
According to reports from the IAEA the claim has no foundation, inspectors say Iran has been in full compliance until now
Iran's economy has collapsed under the sanctions and it is the population of 80 million people that are paying the price
WASHINGTON DC - Sanctions on Iran will soon be substantially increased, U.S. President Donald Trump has tweeted.
The president says the proposed heightened penalties are in response to Iran enriching uranian for a long time and in secret.
According to reports from the IAEA the claim has no foundation, inspectors say Iran has been in full compliance until now.
"Iran has long been secretly "enriching," in total violation of the terrible 150 Billion Dollar deal made by John Kerry and the Obama Administration. Remember, that deal was to expire in a short number of years. Sanctions will soon be increased, substantially!" Trump tweeted on Wednesday.
Iran has now begun enriching uranium because it says the agreement between it and the major powers (the U.S., the UK, Russia, China, Germany, and the European Union) known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) agreement, has been broken by the United States which has unilaterally re-imposed the original sanctions, and a raft of new ones. The United States, despite withdrawing from that agreement, is insisting Iran should hold up its part.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said it was a "sad irony" an emergency meeting of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has been called at the request of the White House, when the U.S. was responsible for having "ruined" the JCPOA.
What to do now is the dilemma the major powers face. Other nations are being persuaded by the United States to comply with the sanctions it has imposed, which puts Europe for example in the position of supporting sanctions, while expecting Iran to continue to comply with its obligations under the JCPOA.
Iran's economy has collapsed under the sanctions and it is the population of 80 million people that are paying the price.
On Monday, the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran said the country had officially surpassed the 3.67% uranium enrichment limit set under the historic 2015 nuclear deal and was conisdering increasing the stockpile to 20% in the future.

Netanyahu allows Knesset members to storm Al-Aqsa
25/08/2017 National News, Politics 5,000 Views
Jerusalem/PNN/
Israel's Channel 2 reported that yesterday Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu gave authorisation for Knesset members to storm Al-Aqsa Mosque next Tuesday.
Netanyahu issued an order prohibiting members of the Knesset from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque in October 2015, since the outbreak of the uprising in Jerusalem. In July he temporarily lifted the ban following a legal petition by far-right Knesset member Yehuda Glick.
This decision was made after security considerations determined that the storming of Al-Aqsa by Israeli groups, including ministers and MKs, are a major factor in provoking Palestinians. The Al-Aqsa Mosque is the third holiest site in Islam.
Dozens of settlers storm the mosque with the protection of the Israeli police on a daily basis. UNESCO deemed Al-Aqsa Mosque an Islamic heritage last October.
In protest to the ban Yehuda Glick organised a raid at Al-Aqsa Mosque yesterday in which 135 right-wing Israelis stormed the compound under the protection of Israeli police while Glick performed prayers outside the holy site's gates.

'Stand your ground' laws linked to increased homicide rates, study finds
States saw an average increase of 8-10% in monthly homicides between 1999 and 2017 after the enactment of such laws, according to the study published Monday in JAMA Network Open, a peer-reviewed journal.
"Stand your ground" laws garnered national attention in the wake of Trayvon Martin's death in 2012. George Zimmerman shot Martin but was acquitted on second-degree murder charges in part because he claimed self-defense under Florida's law. Saturday marks 10 years since Martin's death.
"There is consistent evidence that the laws are potentially hazardous," said David Humphreys, an associate professor at University of Oxford who co-authored the study. "Part of the justification of these laws is that they can be useful in helping people protect themselves and improving public safety more generally, and we just don't see any evidence of that."
The trend was particularly stark in southern states, with Alabama and Florida seeing a jump in firearm homicides by 33% and 30%, respectively, and others also seeing double-digit increases.
While researchers did not find a significant decrease in deaths related to "stand your ground" laws in any states, Arizona, Indiana, Michigan, Nevada, Oklahoma, Texas and West Virginia did not have a significant increase either.
The study examined homicide data between 1999 and 2017 from 24 states that implemented "stand your ground" laws until 2016. "No states had significant reductions in violent deaths, as advocates often argue when justifying these laws," the researchers wrote.
Some self-defense laws say that a person under threat of physical injury has a "duty to retreat" before using deadly force, if it's safe to do so. In a "stand your ground" state, someone facing an imminent threat can use lethal force right away if they are threatened with death or serious injury — without first trying to escape.
"You want to encourage people to walk away before using lethal force, and when you remove that as a requirement … there's going to be a greater likelihood that people will resort to lethal force," said Thaddeus Hoffmeister, a criminal law professor at University of Dayton School of Law.
Florida was the first state to enact a "stand your ground" law in 2005, and at least 27 other states have since implemented similar laws, according to the National Conference of States Legislatures. Eight additional states allow use of deadly force in self-defense through judicial decisions and a federal bill was introduced in December by Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Republican from Florida, to establish the "National Stand Your Ground Act."
Proponents, including the National Rifle Association, say such laws allow people to protect themselves. Critics say they encourage violence and justify racial profiling.
"People like to say that they're colorblind, but I have yet to really meet that individual," Hoffmeister said. "If you associate someone's race with more violence, or more or you associate them with a criminal activity, you're more likely to use violence in a in a situation that you think things could get physical."
Hoffmeister and other critics are also concerned that these laws promote "vigilante justice."
"What these laws are saying now though is, don't walk away, don't get police involved, solve it yourself," Hoffmeister said. "And I don't know if you want a society that encourages people to resort to lethal force when they don't have to."

Here is an example of a source array with two elements.
Array
(
    [0] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                ([kwh] => 313.9799,[time_read] => 1311825600)

            [1] => Array
                ([kwh] => 312.3098,[time_read] => 1311826500)

            [2] => Array
                ([kwh] => 302.0525,[time_read] => 1311827400)

            [3] => Array
                ([kwh] => 312.2946,[time_read] => 1311828300)
        )
    [1] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                ([kwh] => 723.4205,[time_read] => 1311825600)

            [1] => Array
                ([kwh] => 686.9258,[time_read] => 1311826500)

            [2] => Array
                ([kwh] => 714.3203,[time_read] => 1311827400)

            [3] => Array
                ([kwh] => 707.8232,[time_read] => 1311828300)
        )
)

And I'd like to see output like the following. What throws me is that the indexes of the arrays might not match up. One array might have 10 elements while the other might have 20. The time_read value has to be used to find matching array elements.
    Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                ([kwh] => 1036,[time_read] => 1311825600)

            [1] => Array
                ([kwh] => 998,[time_read] => 1311826500)

            [2] => Array
                ([kwh] => 1016,[time_read] => 1311827400)

            [3] => Array
                ([kwh] => 1019,[time_read] => 1311828300)
        )

A: Use the timestamp as an array key, use nested loops to grab the internal values and add them up
$output = array();
foreach ($source_array as $group) {
  foreach ($group as $a) {
    if (!isset($output[$a['time_read']]))
      $output[$a['time_read']] = array('time_read'=>$a['time_read'], 'kwh'=>0);
    $output[$a['time_read']]['kwh'] += $a['kwh'];
  }
}

print_r($output);
/* output

Array
    (
        [1311825600] => Array
            ([kwh] => 1036,[time_read] => 1311825600)

        [1311826500] => Array
            ([kwh] => 998,[time_read] => 1311826500)

        [1311827400] => Array
            ([kwh] => 1016,[time_read] => 1311827400)

        [1311828300] => Array
            ([kwh] => 1019,[time_read] => 1311828300)
    ) */

Also nice because then you can use ksort to order them chronologically

FINLAND: LUTHERAN CHURCH'S SOCIAL MEDIA WORKS HAND IN HAND WITH HAMAS LINKED CAIR…….
Finland Finn Church Aid Hamas Muslim Brotherhood Uncategorized
By KGSaccess_time6 years agochat_bubble_outline3
Helping to spread the phony narrative of Islamofauxbia……
The relationship between the Finnish Church's "Finn Church Aid (KUA)" appears to be extensive, they (Antti Pentikäinen Exec-Direct) arranged a fact-finding trip with KUA's leadership, along with Anas Hajjar (Syrian MB imam spearheading the grand mosque drive) and the leading Shiite imam, Abbas Bahmanpour, to CAIR's facilities earlier this year.
Meeting with chief Islamonazi dissembler Nihad Awad….
KUA has been courting sharia-supremacist voices for some time now, as well as sticking it to the pro-Israel Christians within the Lutheran Church, Antti Pentikäinen spearheaded a move a few years ago to forbid church spaces from being used by pro-Israel advocates and going so far as to smear these Christians as having threatened him, though failed to produce one scintilla of evidence.
The Finnish Lutheran Church is up to its neck in Hamas linked Muslim Brotherhood types pushing "anti-Islamophobia' narratives in political, media and social networks. They have been fully infiltrated by Islamic hardliners using Western norms of tolerance and coexistence in pushing their Islamic/anti-Western sharia driven agendas.
Church publication of islamofobia picture confuses
Picture meme gave birth to angry feedback because it included the CAIR organization logo. According to the FBI CAIR is directly linked to Islamist Hamas.
Social media / 18.08.2016 at 16:15
Juhani Huttunen
The church published on Facebook Wednesday, 101 Reasons to belong to a church -series, a new picture under the title "The medicine for fear."
The playful picture offers against Islamophobia, an Islamophobia named medicine which, among others, fights against "thoughtless bigotry" and "blind intolerance". Each pack contains a "Warning: May lead to peaceful co-existence"
– The picture is a bubblegum package, which is derived from Finn Church Aid's 'Shoulder to Shoulder' division, which aims to promote cooperation and understanding between religious communities, in particular to prevent radicalism, says the Church Council social media team leader Lari Lohikoski.
Islamophobia-gum package is part of the Council, on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) organization's (established in 1994) anti-Islamophobia campaign launched last May. The package is clearly labeled with the CAIR logo.
– Finn Church Aid has been involved in the project with the CAIR organization, which is obviously a major player in role of peace outreach. The church and its organizations are already the most important factors in inter-religious dialogue in Finland, says Lohikoski.
White House guest
CAIR on its website declares that "the leading advocate for justice and mutual understanding", which is responsible for, among other things, to improve information on Islam and encourage dialogue.
Since the September 2001 WTC attack, CAIR was an important cooperation partner with the White House. US Federal Bureau of Investigation also had a long cooperation with CAIR.
The cooperation between CAIR and the FBI, ended however, in 2008, when CAIR in its start-up phase financially assisted the Holy Land Foundation, whose members were sentenced up to 65 years in prison for multiple connections to terrorism, including the financing of the Islamist Hamas.
CAIR was not charged in the trial in question, and has not been convicted of a crime. Its work continues as normal.
Hamas cover the organization?
In the autumn of 2015 the FBI's evidence in the report made public, however, says that CAIR will switch directly to the sponsoring of organizations and Islamist Hamas.
The report shows that CAIR's founders Nihad Awad , Omar Ahmad and Nabil Sadoun are former Palestine Committee (PALCOM) organization members. PALCOM is according to the FBI, a cover organization for Hamas. According to this report PALCOM held a meeting, stating the need to set up a new support for Hamas organization in 1993. The aim of the meeting was to gain support for Hamas, enabling it to terrorize the Oslo peace talks going on between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organisation PLO.
The message in the photo relates only to irrational fears, to which the Church and Christianity are the medicine. – Church board's social media team leader Lari Lohikoski
In 2010, the United States expelled from the country Sadoun who sat on the board of CAIR, because he was considered to be a member of Hamas. The United States does not classify the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization, but President Bill Clinton's administration classified Hamas as part of terrorism in 1995.

50 Years in 50 Weeks: The Sisters' Hood in 1993
by Jim Provenzano
Wednesday September 8, 2021
Ah, 1993: Pride's "Year of the Queer" (Thanks, Ggreg Taylor!), the March on Washington, the dawn of the Clinton era (and Don't Ask, Don't Tell), continued AIDS deaths and resultant obits made for losses amid wins.
In Arts, David Drake's "The Night Larry Kramer Kissed Me" made its Bay Area debut (April 8), while "Last Call at Maud's" documented the demise of a historic lesbian bar (Feb. 4), and my own calendar listings took on arty collage style in old-time photostat paste-ups (Feb 19).
In nightlife, Gus Bean's Colossus debuted on New Year's Eve to popular attendance (Jan 7).
But perhaps the most visually striking lead Arts feature of 1993 showcased the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, in the April 15 issue. Tim Farrell wrote about the drag nun collective being banned from the March on Washington's stage for being "too controversial and not the appropriate image" for C-Span and "the movement."
The late Sister X assailed the March's "conservative gay white boys" and posed in Beth Kukucka's photo "Death of the Angels."
"We're going to Washington, but on whose terms?" asked Sister X. "Clinton is willing to embrace gay people, but is it on his terms?"
Sister Vicious Power Hungry Bitch added, "A token drag queen performing onstage as eye candy and comic relief is not a commitment to the visibility of the transgender and queer community and their issues."
That controversy of assimilation versus radical queer identity continues.

Christos Savvides, 4Creative's executive producer, digital, said: "The Big Bang Theory has been a huge hit for E4 and there's a lot of excitement around the final episode.
"Our concept combines the science and nerdy-ness of the show, whilst building anticipation for the finale by driving engagement and rewarding fans with a memento for social kudos."
Christos Savvides, senior digital producer at 4Creative, added: "The rapid rise in voice assistant devices shows that people are willing to let A.I. into their family homes as part of their daily lives. These devices run on what could be seen as similar technology to the brains of the Synthetic Humans featured in the show, creating the perfect platform for our campaign.
"We loved the idea of flipping the Turing test on its head so rather than detecting if a machine is sentient, 'The Human Test' determines if the user is in fact, a machine."

Q: 18.04 Swap Size Large than RAM Something happened after a recent update.  I have 5GB RAM installed (one 4GB card, one 1GB) on a Toshiba L750D.  After a recent update, it started running super slow.  I noticed it is only seeing 708.4 MB of ram with 4.5 GB of Swap.
Either it's seeing my RAM as swap and vice versa, or it stopped seeing the majority of my RAM.
I ran dmidecode and it recognizes all 5GB.
Passed Memtest with no errors.


Here, in this article 'Digital Interpreters- speak languages without learning', I am going to discuss about technological inventions have presented us digital interpreters. These technologies help us speak languages without learning. Thus,communicating in other languages with people around the world without knowing how to speak them has become easier.
Who does not want to know many languages? Being able to converse in any language would bring several advantages in the professional and cultural field as well as in the personal field. However, resources are limited and learning a language entails a great deal of time, money and effort . So, given these difficulties,, what can be done? The technology offers different solutions to be able to communicate in other languages. Precisely, there are gadget translators and applications that improve understanding and fluency of different languages.
This curious device was created by Waverly Labs and developed by crowdfunding campaign . The Pilot kit consists of a wireless headset. This headset is equipped with a microphone and a speaker that connect to a smartphone via Bluetooth.
The translation done by Pilot is almost simultaneous. So the person may be able to understand languages that he has not learned almost in real time. Because the delay is only two seconds which, the creators of the device hope to reduce further with time.
Initially, the languages available on Pilot are English, French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese . However, users will be able to pay for translating conversations in additional languages such as German, Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Russian, Turkish and Arabic, among others. The launch date of Pilot is planned in autumn and its price will be between $266.69 to $320.51.
It fits in the palm of one hand and is capable of translating 80 languages. This is Travis, a very interesting automatic translator developed by a Dutch start-up . We all want to speak languages without learning them and this device is helping us to a great extent in this regard.
The procedure is quite simple. You just have to pronounce the phrase you want to translate. Travis will pronounce it in the indicated language. It has an online and offline voice recognition. In addition, it can be used for 12 hours in a row, thanks to the autonomy of its battery.
The most curious thing about this proposal is that it is a device that is being improved with its use. This is possible because it is based on machine learning technology , a branch of artificial intelligence that allows machines to learn automatically.
Can you imagine being able to converse with speakers from any country without having to learn the language? Incredibly, this is already a real possibility. You can speak languages with the help of technology.
But the digital world not only offers translating gadgets , but many more options with which it is easier to learn other languages. One of them is Smartpen, which has the appearance of a pen, but it is much more than that.
The Spanish company Kids SmartPen SL has developed this optical pen capable of interpreting the sounds and phonemes of a language encoded in paper . It is aimed at children , who serve to enhance their language skills. In fact, it is suitable for both pre-school students and older students, such as high school students.
The smartphone can also help a lot in language learning through various easy-to-install apps. This is the case of Babbel, an app with learning programs designed by linguists and experts . The most interesting thing is that their lessons do not last more than 15 minutes, which facilitates the reconciliation of work and personal life with the study of languages.
Electronic books are becoming more widespread in society, which is slowly changing their reading habits. In addition, in this type of devices not only can enjoy a good novel, but also they are very useful in the learning of languages. Moreover, it does not only have to do with the titles and contents compatible with this format that can be downloaded, but to the own applications of the apparatuses . Also, many e-books have, for example, built-in translators.
Thanks a lot for your time. Hope you have enjoyed reading my article Digital Interpreters- Speak languages without learning.

New shop is blooming great for Tiverton couple
RoseTime Flowers a dream come true for budding florists
Lewis Clarke
Ros and Tim in their new Gold Street florist
Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from DevonLive - Weekend Report
A lifetime dream has bloomed for a Tiverton couple who at their new town centre florist.
Tim Nichols, 51, and his wife Ros, 53, opened their new shop RoseTime Flowers on Bampton Street on March 8 in the premises which previously housed Mandy's Classic Cakes.
Mr Nichols started his love affair with flowers when he worked in a flower and fruit shop aged 16. He also worked at Ivy Marclews florist in Gold Street before it closed and he was made redundant.
Ros explained: "He's been doing flowers for lots of years and after redundancy, he went off and did a couple of other jobs such as working for Safeway when they had their flower shop. Then it became Morrisons, and he went off training with them when they were putting in flower shops. He was a trainer, so he's trained people to do what he's doing. Then things changed at Morrisons, and he wanted to go back to flowers because that's what he loves. This opportunity came along, and he took the brave step of becoming self-employed.
As well as owning his florist, Mr Nichols is also chairman of the Tiverton Garden Club.
He said: "I know how to do it properly; my way is the right way using old-fashioned values."
RoseTime Flowers on Bampton Street in Tiverton
The name RoseTime which merges the couple's names were decided upon several years ago when the couple decided they aimed to own their own business.
"I walked past the empty shop one lunchtime and saw this was empty. I spoke with Ros about it who said we should go and make an appointment with the letting agent and we did.
"I was always looking for the right premises, and this is a nice size, light and airy, people can see what they're buying, and we hope in the future to run some workshops and invite people in. It's a lifetime dream.
"You'll find things here you won't find in the supermarket from flowers and the service. We have had customers in saying we needed something like this in town; not everyone wants supermarket flowers, it makes it a bit special."
BarnstapleTributes paid to well-known Devon businessman Bruce Peterson after sudden death"The void he leaves behind will never be filled."

Grounder is a character who appears in the Sonic the Hedgehog comic series and its spin-offs published by Archie Comics. He is a prominent Grounder Badnik created by Dr. Eggman and a member of the Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad. Currently, he is an employee to business mogul Breezie.
2.1 Early life
2.2 Shattered World Crisis
4 Weakness
Grounder's original design, from Sonic the Hedgehog #268.
Grounder is based on the Badnik with the same name. Grounder is colored green with two gray drills, one on each hand. He has yellow lines around his neck and upper torso, and has a gray antennae behind his head.
Grounder's current design is mostly the same as his previous one, albeit with some modifications; he no longer has cartoon-stylized eyes that look like gauges, but rather eyes that resemble screw tops. He now wears a black and white tuxedo with a giant red bow tie.
A long while before the Shattered World Crisis, Grounder and Scratch were assigned to pretend to hold Breezie hostage. After Sonic the Hedgehog defeated Coconuts and the Egg Antlion at the Underground Zone, Grounder, Scratch, and Breezie got in position with Sonic heading their way. Sonic quickly disposed of Grounder and Scratch, all while saving Breezie.[1]
Sometime later, the Super Special Sonic Search & Smash Squad was abandoned by Dr. Eggman, leaving Grounder, Scratch, and Coconuts out in the cold. However, Breezie gave home to the three by making them her assistants at the Casino Park.[1]
Shattered World Crisis
Note: From the readers point of view, this picks up from where Grounder's original timeline ended.
During the Shattered World Crisis, the S6 Squad found a Chaos Emerald which Grounder spotting it during a repair operation organized by Coconuts and supervised by Scratch. The trio excitedly presented it to Breezie, each with their own suggestions as to how she might employ it to her advantage. To the chagrin of his teammates, Grounder suggested that she could make a snowglobe out of it.[2] Instead, Breezie decided to organize a competition to determine who would obtain it from her.[1][2] Ground later informed Breezie of Knuckles the Echidna's illegal addition to the tournament roster. Breezie, upon seeing the roster, was pleasantly surprised however and told Grounder and Scratch to keep him on the roster.[1]
Of the members of the S6 Squad, Grounder is the least intelligent, and is often blissfully unaware of certain realities. While he performs various unspecific duties for his employers, he usually only accomplishes anything through dumb luck.
Because of Grounder's drill appendages, his dexterity is quite the struggle, making it difficult for him to operate the simplest of devices.[1][2]
Grounder's design in the Post-Super Genesis Wave timeline is a combination between his original design and the Badnik it was based from, Grounder.

You may use a healthcare FSA (also referred to as medical FSA) to pay for eligible medical, dental, and vision expenses incurred by you, your spouse, and eligible children, that are not reimbursed by any healthcare plan. You may use a dependent care FSA (also referred to as DCAP) to pay for dependent care expenses while you (and your spouse) work, look for work, or attend school full-time.
Eligible expenses include deductibles, copayments, and copay amounts for doctor's office visits and prescription drugs, and other expenses, such as glasses, contact lens solution, and laser vision surgery. Refer to IRS publication 502 for a more complete summary of eligible healthcare expenses.
You estimate qualified healthcare expenses for the upcoming year.
Next, you decide the annual amount to defer from salary — how much to have set aside from each paycheck — to go into the FSA to pay for qualified expenses for the coming year (this amount is called the election).
Your employer will automatically deduct the amount you elect for the FSA from your pay on a pretax basis. This amount will be credited to your FSA over the course of the year.
When you have a qualified expense, you can either pay with a healthcare Visa debit card (issued by Further after enrollment) or submit the expense through the Further secure member portal for reimbursement from your FSA. You should save all receipts for reimbursements and to validate expenses.
Contributions are exempt from federal income and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes. FSA contributions are also exempt from SECA taxes for ministers.
The full amount of any elected healthcare FSA contribution is available on the first day of the plan year. You do not have to wait for payroll contributions to accumulate in your account before paying expenses with your healthcare FSA.
Important: The IRS has a use or lose rule for FSAs. Under this rule, you risk losing unused money still in the healthcare FSA at the end of the plan year. This risk is lessened by a $500 rollover feature. Because of this, it is important to estimate expenses carefully each year you enroll in an FSA.
Eligible expenses must be for the care of children under age 13 and older family members unable to care for themselves and who can be claimed as dependents on your federal income tax return. Examples of eligible expenses include in-home childcare, payments to licensed day care facilities, before or after school programs, and adult day care. Refer to IRS publication 503 for a more complete summary of eligible dependent care expenses.
You estimate qualified dependent care expenses for the upcoming year.
When you have a qualified expense, you can submit a claim to be reimbursed from the FSA through the Further secure member portal. It is a good idea to save all receipts for reimbursements and to validate expenses.
Funds are available to use as they are deposited in the account. You may be reimbursed for eligible expenses up to the amount in your account at the time payment is requested.
Important! The IRS has a use or lose rule for FSAs. Under this rule, you will lose any unused money still in the dependent care FSA at the end of the plan year. Because of this, it is important to estimate expenses carefully each year you enroll in an FSA.
Once you're enrolled in an FSA, you can manage your account, including accessing claims and reimbursement information, through a secure member portal.
When used for eligible expenses, FSA contributions are exempt from federal income and FICA (Social Security and Medicare) taxes. FSA contributions are also exempt from SECA taxes for ministers. Most states recognize FSA funds as tax-free; however, some do not. You should consult a tax adviser regarding specific state rules.
Annual contributions to FSAs are subject to IRS limits. The limits for 2019 are $2,700 for a healthcare FSA and $5,000 for a dependent care FSA.
If you are married and your spouse also has a dependent care FSA, your combined annual contribution limit is $5,000 ($2,500 each if you file separate tax returns).
Under IRS rules, you will lose any unused money still in the dependent care FSA at the end of the plan year. Up to $500 in unused healthcare FSA funds at the end of the year can roll over to the next plan year; you will lose any unused funds over that amount at the end of the year under IRS regulations.
The IRS and some states allow a tax credit for the same types of expenses that qualify for the dependent care FSA. You cannot claim a tax credit for expenses that are reimbursed from a dependent care FSA and vice versa.
The tax advantages of using a dependent care FSA versus claiming the tax credit vary with individual circumstances. You should consult your financial adviser or tax professional to determine which method is better for your situation.

Let me explain about myself a little bit further.
When President Bush Jr. attacked Iraq in March, 2003, I was Japanese Ambassador to Lebanon.
At that time all the Lebanese people told me that America could easily beat Saddam' Iraq, but America could never govern or even stabilize Iraq.
They also told me that confusion of Iraq would make Middle East unstable and in the worst scenario whole world will be affected by Middle East chaos.
I reported those Lebanese warnings and advised our Prime Minister Koizumi to stop President Bush's war on Iraq.
Prime Minister Koizumi didn't listen to my advice and instead, he fired me.
Unfortunately we now know Lebanese people's warning turned out to be true.
Now I have to advise you, Mr. President, to not start war with North Korea no matter how Kim Jong-un provokes you.
If you start war against North Korea, the result will be certainly much more devastating and disastrous.
Don't tell me your favorite phrase "You are fired", Mister President, because you don't like my advice.
I have been already fired by our Prime Minister and I don't' want to be fired again.
I repeat, Mr. President, that you should not attack North Korea under any circumstances.
I don't want you to become the worst President of America who destroyed the world and mankind.

What we know about the "Saman-1" kick-stage for the Simorgh IRILV
Norbert Brügge, Germany
As far as we know, the Saman-1 has so far been used three times without success on the Simorgh as a kick stage for the insertion of satellites into an earth orbit. In two cases (2017 and 2019) we have to assume malfunctions.
The Saman-1 was presented for the first time at an exhibition in early February 2017 as an unfinished model. Already at the end of July of the same year, the Saman-1 was taken over for the Simorgh, as we know, without success.
The heart of the kick-stage is a spherical solid-fuel motor of unknown type, which was presented together with the model Saman-1 in 2017. It could be an early problematic motor from the Arash series that was responsible for the failures.
Saman-1 presentation model
Saman-1 flight model
The flight model differs significantly from the presentation model. Fundamental changes cannot be overlooked.
Saman-1 (2020)
It is planned to replace the problematic solid-fuel motor by the Arash-24 motor in order to increase the reliability of the Saman-1. Vacuum function tests of such a motor that were previously lacking were started in 2019.
TEHRAN, 2020, Jan. 18 -- Head of Iran's Space Research Center says the new achievement includes the design and development of various versions of "Arash space engine" the first sample of which was tested successfully late 2019.
Arash space engine will be put in the orbital transfer system to help thrust satellites from the low orbit into the high orbit. The satellite's orbital transmission system increases the orbital range of the satellite and directs it to a height of 400 kilometers above the earth's surface. From there, it will be possible to navigate the satellite up to an orbit of 700 kilometers from the earth using space engines.
TEHRAN, 2019, Dec.17 -- President of Iran's Space Research Center Hossein Samimi announced that the first sample of its Arash-24 space motor was tested successfully in vacuum conditions.

When it comes to prepping for your next tropical vacation — or for some of us, a simple afternoon at the closest beach-like locale — it's easy to get distracted by all of the swimwear options available. Bikini or one-piece? High-waisted bottoms or string? Nab five bargain buys or splurge on that one style you've spotted one too many times on Instagram? But there's one beachwear essential that's been more than overlooked. While a swimsuit is key, it'd be nothing outside the pool area without a good cover-up.
No matter where you find yourself basking in the sun, a proper cover-up is a must. As the saying goes: no shoes, no shirt, no service. So whether you're more of an oversized linen dress fan or you'd rather make your beach look a complete package, we've got you covered. Just take a look at the 24 styles ahead, all of which will have you reconsidering the water to keep from ditching your new digs.

Q: Client_id showing only in Admin user of tree view but not showing in other Group user except Name field I am new to openerp, In my customize module client_id,name other fields are showing only in Admin user of tree view but not showing in other Group user except Name field.

A: field
defines a column where the corresponding field should be displayed for each record. Can use the following attributes:
name:
the name of the field to display in the current model. A given name can only be used once per view
string:
the title of the field's column (by default, uses the string of the model's field)
invisible:
fetches and stores the field, but doesn't display the column in the table. Necessary for fields which shouldn't be displayed but are used by e.g. @colors
groups:
lists the groups which should be able to see the field
widget:
alternate representations for a field's display. Possible list view values are:
attrs:
dynamic attributes based on record values. Only effects the current field, so e.g. invisible will hide the field but leave the same field of other records visible, it will not hide the column itself.


Chief compliance officers once again got a pay bump last year, but the rate of raises awarded appears to be waning, results of a recent survey show.
For the fourth consecutive year, mutual fund CCOs saw their paychecks grow, with average total pay reaching $400,148 in 2015, up 2.8% from the 2014 average of $389,407, according to the CCO compensation survey conducted by Management Practice Inc. (MPI). The recent survey is MPI's 11th annual report, and included responses from 66 CCOs.
Forty-four of this year's respondents also participated in MPI's survey last year. That group saw total compensation rise by 5.7% during 2015.
The proportion of this year's survey respondents who reported receiving a bonus held relatively steady — 93% in 2015 compared to 95% the year prior — but for large fund firms, defined as those with over $75 billion in AUM, the proportion of pay those bonuses represented rose. In 2015, the bonus at large firms was about 66% of base pay. The year prior, respondents put that figure at 59%.
Potentially pushing up pay is a shortage of qualified candidates, industry recruiters say.
In part, the scramble for talent can be attributed to the growing number of firms with between $2 billion and $10 billion in assets that once used outsourced compliance staff but now seek to bring the function in-house, says Daniel Close, president of Barclay Simpson Executive Search.
"What we've seen is a movement toward middle market fund managers looking to develop more effective compliance programs, and increased accountability leading to more dedicated compliance officers on board," he says.
The financial crisis further drained the compliance talent pool, as many of the law and consulting firms — typical targets for those recruiting CCOs — were forced to downsize staff and halt recruitment between 2008 and 2011. Many still have not recovered their headcount, recruiters say.
"This limits the talent that asset managers can pull from those firms," says Justin Mandel, managing director at JW Michaels & Co., an executive recruiting firm that specializes in financial services.
MPI found that CCO salaries ranged drastically, from $110,000 to over $1,000,000, depending on factors including location, number of funds or subadvisors they oversee and whether the firm focuses primarily on retail or institutional clients. That compares to a range of $140,000 to $925,000 the year prior.
The size of an asset management firm especially impacts the CCO pay range, according to JW Michaels. The recruiter's own 2015 compensation report says the pay range for asset management firms with under $50 billion in assets tends to run from $200,000 to $400,000; the range for those with more than $50 billion is between $800,000 and $2,200,000.
While Close acknowledges that the market can provide lucrative opportunities for qualified job candidates, he says that the quest for compliance professionals has led firms to adjust the skills and experience they seek from compliance leaders.
That dynamic has created a "sweet spot" for compliance professionals who have eight to 12 years of experience, but may not have served in the CCO role. Such mid-level compliance professionals can spend time familiarizing themselves with the job before deciding to accept a CCO position and the burden of liability that accompanies that post, he says. The trend toward recruiting more junior compliance staff may be one factor contributing to a slowdown in the rate of increase for CCO pay.
MPI partner Jay Keeshan cites a number of other factors that could be tempering CCO wage growth. For one, during the post-crisis bull market, many firms dished out big raises to CCOs to recognize them for enduring the earlier, more difficult years. But now, those employers have reverted to more customary raises. Market forces, such as the shift from active to typically lower-margin passive funds, may be another factor. Add to that market volatility that is sapping assets and shops' overall profits.
On the other hand, the number of CCOs whose pay includes equity participation increased. In fact, 40% of compliance chiefs reported receiving restricted stock as part of their packages, up from 33% in 2014 and 29% in 2007, MPI data show. While pay for compliance leaders may be moderating, demand is not, Keeshan says.
"As long as the industry is alive, there is going to be a huge and ever-increasing need for highly skilled compliance professionals," he says.

2018 marks my 20th year in telecommunications. I left university in 1998 to launch a mobile phone shop in Thorne near Doncaster and within a couple of years I had 6 shops in the local area. Due to the rise of the internet in the early 2000's it became harder to compete so I gradually closed the shops down. I joined a business in 2002 that specialised in business to business sales for telecoms and I stayed there for 15 years. From dealing with the general public in my shops to working with businesses, I have learnt an incredible amount about dealing with people.
In early 2017 I left to setup my own business called Simpatico with the aim to be a full service telecoms provider in East Yorkshire to local businesses. The whole company culture is based on being nice people to deal with and we don't believe in pushy sales tactics, just good honest advice. We offer mobile phones, VOIP, internet connectivity and at the start of 2018 we became a wholesale partner to KCOM so we can offer phone lines/connectivity in the KCOM HEY area. The first year in business has been very successful with Simpatico bringing on board more than 60+ clients.
Simpatico has built up an extensive knowledge in telecoms and we love working in East Yorkshire, meeting and helping with all the interesting businesses in the area.
