Reviewed: 2019 Davis Cup by Rakuten Finals
For what is the world's oldest team tennis competition, the 2019 Davis Cup had a year of first. The Cup, previously known for its home-and-away fixtures across the globe, had a major overhaul in 2019 of its format with the home-and-away fixture replaced by an end-of-season week long finals tournament in Madrid (save for home-and-away qualifiers earlier in the year). There has been much controversy with the new format which has replaced 100 years of tradition.
While Spain lifted the trophy, we take a look at whether the new format can survive based on my experience of attending two ties during the week-long finals.
I had the chance to attend the Quarter Final between Australia v Canada, and the Semi Final between Spain v Great Britain. The experience between both ties was a chalk and cheese – the Quarter Final was played in front of a tiny crowd, whereas the Semi Final was in-front of a packed house that was making noise that could blow the roof off the The Magic Box (the venue for this year's event).
The distinct feature of the Davis Cup has always been that challenge for the away team having to play a home team in a cauldron-like atmosphere, as home supporters make the venue sound like a football (soccer) match between points. The Semi Final between Spain and Great Britain had such atmosphere. In fact, it was one of the most incredible sporting experiences I have witnessed first hand.
However rewind a few nights earlier to Australia v Canada, who were playing in a cut-throat quarter final, and the cracks on this new Davis Cup format were (unfortunately) on full show. A small crowd in a 12,000 seat stadium, with a few home fans from either side (albeit making a good amount of noise) made for a disappointing experience. To put it into other words, from what should have been an incredibly exciting experience (if it had been played in Canada or Australia) turned into a somewhat drab affair as the tie went late into the evening. To make it worse was that outside the Arena, the concession area was empty and cold (for some reason the Magic Box configuration sees a heated stadium but then outside – where all the food and sponsor stands are located – is exposed to the winter chill). Compare this to Saturday night's Spain v Great Britain Semi Final where it went into the early hours of the morning, was bitterly cold outside, yet the place was rocking (in fact, according to my Apple Watch nearly 100 dB of noise), as home fans got to see the world's #1 player take Spain to the Davis Cup Final.
And there in-lies the problem with this new Davis Cup format. That is, the best part of the new tournament was actually something that always existed with the old format, an away team facing a rapturous home crowd with that nation's players feeding off such energy. So, while the best part remains for the team that is hosting the finals week, that "best part" that was part of every tie has now been stripped and is the exclusive experience of the tournament's host nation. In 2020, the host nation will once again be Spain.
This is a hard problem to solve and one is not saying there weren't inherent problems with the old Davis Cup format. However, unless large swarms of fans are willing to travel to a neutral country for a week during a non-holiday period, which seems unlikely, this problem is likely to remain. One solution, and one that must surely be adopted to ensure tournament integrity, is to move the finals location on an annual or biannual basis (like the Laver Cup) so that the same nation does not benefit from this "home" advantage on an ongoing basis.
While this "parochial" support issue is probably the biggest item to review from 2019's tournament, it wasn't all negative! There were some great plusses. Being able to follow the Davis Cup in a short week-long format made the tournament very exciting, much like a Grand Slam as the draw fell into place. Further, the doubles format came to the fore to show it is still relevant. Many ties ended with decisive doubles battles, which featured not only double specialists but also the best singles players in the world.
2019 was the first year of the new Davis Cup and while the Spain v Great Britain certainly felt like what the Davis Cup has always been known for, my experience earlier in the week at the Quarter Final was less than impressive as a small crowd for a major final meant the energy from the experience was largely zapped.
The new Davis Cup has entered a competitive landscape with the Laver Cup and the revived ATP Cup. It will be interesting to see how the latter fares during the Australian summer across three-Australian cities because based on the experience in Madrid, it could suffer from the same difficulties (see my review of the ATP Cup here).
2019's new Davis Cup was a success but mainly due to Spain's (the home nation's) performance, but the question remains what if the home nation is not strong, what would the atmosphere during the finals week be like? We shall watch this space.

Trying to maintain a strict low-carb diet could make you crave for a lot of unnecessary foods when doing a Ketogenic diet. There are days that you would want to give in with all the good food and enjoy a little but your mindset is pretty focused in losing weight.
The struggle is real. Isn't it? Well you know what they would always say, it's just a matter of priorities, my friend.
You may have heard of other low-carb dieters who schedule their cheat days over the weekends or any day in between weekdays. That is actually not a bad thing since it would be beneficial for your mental health as well. It is pretty rewarding to look forward to a day where you can get to give yourself a break from all the carb restriction that you have done for the past few days. However, if you're on Keto, the consequences might be more dramatic.
Cheat days are fun, sure. But since Ketogenic is quite strict when it comes to carbs, cheating on your Keto diet is never a good idea.
Cheating on Keto will result in a number of consequences. Let's try to find out the disadvantages of having a cheat meal on the keto diet.
If you're planning to cheat on a carb-heavy meal, you should know by then that doing so will result for your body to leave Ketosis. If you're guilty on munching on a cheat meal while doing Keto, one best way to know if you're still in Ketosis is to have your Ketone levels checked. The amount of Ketones that your body has will determine if you're still in Ketosis or not.
If you've been doing Ketogenic diet for a long time already, your taste buds would primarily get used to the taste of the kind of foods that are approved for your weight loss. However, once you tried incorporating a cheat meal on the keto diet, your taste buds would adjust on what it thinks tastes better – which in this case is the cheat meal. You would then end up craving for more.
Leaving Ketosis and re-entering it again could make you struggle more with the Keto flu. This is because once your body is fully adopted with Keto diet, you will then get used to the common symptoms or side effects of the diet. Once you've been kicked out of Ketosis, the moment you re-enter it again, you will experience the same symptoms the second time around.
You must know by now that the side effects of Ketosis are not all about rainbows and butterflies. There are some negative side effects that you will have to go through as you adjust with Ketosis. The discomfort that you feel is not that pleasing which is why you have to make extra effort in order to avoid in experiencing the Keto flu again.
Maintaining a Keto diet have already caused your body to use fats as fuels to provide you with the amount of energy that you need. If you do a keto cheat day once a week, it may result to your body using glycogen or carbs as fuel instead of fats – this is for carb-heavy meals. You have already spent so much time and effort in making your body an ultimate fat-burning machine and in just one cheat meal, you will again have to start from the very top.
Several studies have stated that Keto dieting could be beneficial for those who suffer from type 2 diabetes. Having said, once you've cheated while doing the diet, the carbs you've consumed can spike up your blood sugar levels. If would be too risky for those who are sensitive with the effect of sugar and carbs to afford a cheat meal. Keto helps in stabilizing the blood sugar and if you choose to stall your diet, there are possible dangers that await you.
Having stated all those disadvantages, you might be convinced already to not cheat. Actually, there's still a chance that you may enjoy a cheat meal while doing the Keto. Hence, you will only have to choose Keto-friendly snacks as alternatives for what you crave for during cheat days.
Can you have a cheat day on Keto diet? Yes. But, you will have to cheat "rightly". This might bring confusion to you already. Well, keep in mind that carbs are pretty helpful in losing weight too. It's just that when doing Keto, your carb intake will only be limited. However, in order to keep you sane and in order for you to stick with the diet for an extended period, healthy cheat days play a role.
During those days when you find your meals boring already, there are still some possible solutions that could equate to your healthy cheat meals.
Eating carbs during the CKD is pretty manageable since it doesn't kick you out of Ketosis. Instead, it helps you lose weight and it also makes you leaner than ever.
If this interests you, read more about how to do the CKD properly.
Meal preparation is one key on how you can come up with a Keto-friendly cheat meal. We do not want you to go impulse buying just because you're hungry or you crave for something that you do not have enough time to look for a Keto-approved food. By doing so, you will be able to satisfy your cravings and at the same time stay healthy as you maintain a clean record in losing weight.
There are a lot of Keto-friendly snack recipes that you can find all over the internet. Aside from the satisfaction those healthy snacks could give you, you will feel less guilty as you enjoy carbs in a more Keto-friendly manner.
We understand your dilemmas when it comes to fighting off your cravings or giving in to keep you sane. However, as matured Keto dieters, you must be responsible enough to know the possible consequences of cheating on your diet.
Since there are a lot of cheat meals alternatives nowadays, a cheat day is not too impossible for you to experience. All you have to do is look for the right ingredients, proper procedures, and extra careful in consuming every cheat meal alongside your diet.

Q: AWS Cloudformation issue installing custom binaries I'm trying to install a custom compiled package that I have in S3 as a zip file. I added this on my Cloudformation template:
"sources" : {
    "/opt" : "https://s3.amazonaws.com/mybucket/installers/myapp-3.2.1.zip"
},

It downloads and unzip it on /opt without issues, but all the "executables" files don't have the "x" permission. I mean "-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 220378 Dec 4 18:23 myapp".
If I download the zip and unzip it in any directory, the permissions are Ok.
I already read the Cloudformation documentation and there is no clue there.
Someone can help me figuring this out? Thanks in advance.

Fourteen Sarda goats in mid-late lactation were housed in individual pens where they received a common total mixed ration (TMR) during the preliminary period (21 d). During the experimental period (24 d) the goats were divided in two isoproductive groups and fed differentiated TMR: one group received a high NDF-low no fibre carbohydrate (NFC) total mixed ration (H-NDF diet = 44.7% NDF, 29.3% NFC, DM basis), while the other received a low NDF-high NFC total mixed ration (L-NDF diet = 36.9% NDF, 36.0% NFC, DM basis). These differences were achieved substituting ground corn and barley grains with beet pulp shreds and soybean hulls. Both diets contained 50% of dehydrated chopped alfalfa on a DM basis. Soybean meal completed the diets. Dry matter intake was higher in the H-NDF group, while dietary energy intake and body weight variations did not differ significantly between the two groups. Milk yield was significantly higher in the L-NDF group, while milk protein and milk urea were higher in the H-NDF group. Milk fat concentration and somatic cell count did not differ between groups, while milk fat and milk protein yields were higher in the L-NDF group. These results are in clear contrast to what was previously observed in sheep, fed diets similar to the ones used here, in which H-NDF diets induced higher milk yield than L-NDF ones.

Come see me at Insta.
Swapna Dinesh is from the erstwhile royal town of Thripunithura in Kerala, India. She is a self-taught artist who designs and hand-crafts jewelry, sculpts with cold porcelain, and paints. Swapna was one of 300+ artists who contributed to the mixed-media installation "Into the Forest," exhibited in November 2017 at the Spinning Plate Gallery in Pittsburg, PA. She has written articles for Creative Bead Chat Magazine and works as an art instructor. Swapna is also a mother and homemaker, avid bookworm, and loves to experiment in the kitchen. You might find her exploring museums and libraries; the older, the better. Enjoy!
SM: Please introduce yourself and your family.
SD: My name is Swapna Dinesh and I'm from Kerala, India. My husband and I have been married for 16 years and we have a sweet 11-year-old daughter. I have a master's degree in international business but I quit my corporate career to embark on a creative journey after I had my daughter.
SM: Tell us about your artwork/creative endeavors.
SD: I am a self-taught sculptor of cold porcelain clay, and I design and create jewelry with beads, wires, and semi-precious stones. I have mostly made miniatures, beads, and floral elements which I incorporate into my jewelry. My website, Swardaa.com, is where I put down my thought processes as well as the trials, errors, and triumphs of my creative endeavors. Indian folk art and those of other countries inspire me a lot. I have made jewelry based on Warli art, one stroke paintings, blue pottery, etc. I have also worked with several art mediums like charcoal, faux glass paints, watercolors, and acrylics. I've had the privilege of having my jewelry and articles written on Pietra Dura (seen in the Taj Mahal and the blue pottery of Jaipur) published by the USA-based Creative Bead Chat Magazine. I have been working as an art instructor for students ranging from ages 4-15 for more than two years, and I lead workshops in fabric painting, glass painting, and charcoal art.
SD: My life's work is about doing what I love the most, exploring new techniques and mediums, and hopefully inspiring at least a few people to step out from their comfort zones and explore their creative sides. For me, incorporating the motifs of various folk arts into my cold porcelain work is essential. The possibilities are huge and exciting. I would love to have my own studio space in order to conduct workshops and share what I have learned and to reciprocate the support and inspiration that I have received from so many special artists around the globe.
SD: Creativity and motherhood are very similar; you have this perfect picture in your mind and you put in your best efforts to make it that way, but as you advance you realize that it has a life of its own! I have learned to take a step back, adjust my perspective, lavish love and attention, and hopefully, it turns out way better than originally envisioned! I find that motherhood has also helped me streamline my priorities, and better my time-management skills.
SD: I currently work in a compact room with a desk and storage space for my supplies. Despite its small size, it is private and gets good natural light.
SD: Currently, it isn't as easy for me to schedule set hours for my creative work, but I manage to steal a couple of hours each day to get to my space and work. While it is not easy to be creative whenever I'm available, I have trained myself to be productive in that time, even if it is just to organize my supplies or make a few handmade labels for packaging!
SD: To me, creative success is a two-part process; creating distinctive and original work and bringing life to my creative visions, and inspiring others in turn.
SD: Raising my daughter in a way that allows her to become a person confident enough to follow her own dreams and goals makes me feel successful.
SD: I have a difficult time convincing people that a creative career takes more effort and time than a conventional career. A home-based workspace means constantly dealing with outside demands on your time – that never happens when you are "at work" in the conventional sense. From the conception of an idea to giving it form and color, translating it into a piece that is original, taking pictures, posting it on social media, blogging about the process, following up on comments and queries, maybe pricing and selling, the mailing and follow-up… none of this can happen if there is no time to yourself to even derive inspiration and translate it into a workable idea! Not to mention the fact that being self-taught takes a lot of trial and error to get the necessary skills to turn creative ideas into reality.
SD: My biggest influences are the varied arts, especially the architecture and culture of Kerala and other states of India. I love exploring the folk arts of different countries, and of course the work of all the talented artists around the world.
SD: I am not one to plan that far ahead, though I would love to have my own studio. I manage by taking it one day at a time and making sure that each step I take is a creative one!
SD: I just read The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith. I am a JK Rowling fan and was wondering how I would like her writing in another genre — I absolutely loved it!
SD: I use Pinterest extensively to pin those ideas and inspirations. Facebook puts me in touch with a lot of people with similar interests, and I have sold a few of my creations on my Facebook page. I use YouTube to check out the techniques of other artists and I have been regularly posting on Instagram for the past few months. I also use Bloglovin' to follow my favorite blogs.
SD: It would have been great to know that there are so many creative and talented people out there! A decade ago, knowing that there were so many creative forums and such great sources of inspiration, know-how, and like-minded people would have helped my skill sets and confidence levels to be better than they are now. Especially knowing a community like Studio Mothers, who manage their careers and home life just like I do, gives me a great sense of belonging.
SD: If scheduling specific time for creativity is not possible, do not despair! Try to work towards your goals one day at a time. Slow and steady is good enough if you can see an improvement in the quality of your work. And good luck!!

Strauss goes into bat for Leadbetter Golf Academy
Teaching golf
David Leadbetter will form a new and successful opening partnership with a former England cricket captain at the Stoke Park summit (August 6-7, 2019).
Former batsman Andrew Strauss played 100 Test matches for his country and was a key part of the famous Ashes-winning team in 2005 and then led the side to victory over Australia again in 2009. And he will be one of the guest speakers on day one of the two-day event to discuss the methods, coaching and progression which took him to the top of his sport under the enormous pressures of the England captaincy.
Strauss, who has since gone on to become director of cricket for the ECB, adds to an impressive list of contributors who will join the legendary golf coach at the Leadbetter Golf Academy's European headquarters, which also includes a biomechanist, sports director and other expert instructors including Paul Dyer and Ian Holloway – both of whom have also enjoyed great success in the golf coaching industry.
The Leadbetter Golf Academy Global Teaching & Business Summit is an opportunity for ambitious coaches to improve their tuition skills and glean more useful information from a world-renowned coach who has played a pivotal role in 26 Major victories and supported seven players to become the world number one.
Aside from the personal insight from Strauss on performing at sport's highest level, some of the other topics will include coaching methods, applied biomechanics, and youth development, and will allow coaches to share ideas and expand their own networks during the event.
Many of the world's top golf coaches have gone through the Leadbetter Golf Academy certification with 40 academies dotted around the globe and more than 100 highly-trained certified instructors, while 25CPD points are available for PGA pros who attend each day. The cost is $250 (around £197) per day but participants can make a huge saving in attending both days for a total of just $350 (around £276).

UNESCO may put Venice on the "black list" like Liverpool and Vienna
Posted on June 25, 2021 June 1, 2022 by campaignforalivingvenice
The lagoon city risks a downgrade that has no direct consequence, but which would impact the prestige and attraction for tourists. Bandarin: "It would be serious"
By Vera Mantengoli
The background
What would happen to Venice if it ended up in the so-called – and much feared – "black list"? Materially nothing, but the prestige and the reputation of the city would sink, and also throwing a shadow on the government, unable to have found solutions quickly for the cruise ships. On the brink of being included in the black list are also the historic center of Vienna, threatened by the construction of ultramodern skyscrapers; the port of Liverpool, invaded by a wild real estate speculation that has transformed the skyline of the city of the Beatles, and the coral reef at Canberra, where the coral are at risk of dying. Places that for their peculiarity and uniqueness UNESCO has welcomed into its own arms, but which now could end up being penalized.
The meeting planned for Beijing from mid to late July will decide the fate of the sites accused of not having done enough, like Venice.
"The black list is a mechanism for UNESCO to signal a serious problem", explains Venetian Francesco Bandarin, former director general of UNESCO Cultural Heritage and former director of the UNESCO World Heritage Center. "This serious problem can depend on either natural factors, such as sites destroyed by earthquakes or conflicts, or when a government is not able to maintain the directions given by UNESCO".
In the case of Venice, the serious problem would be the cruise ships, as already emerged two years ago, the first time Venice was warned by UNESCO that it was in danger of ending up in the black list. "If Venice were to end up in the black list it would be a warning sign, and the site would lose prestige", continues Bandarin. "Nothing concrete would happen, but it would be an indication at the international level of the fact that there is a very big problem with the decisions the government must make".
If Venice ends up in the black list it could get out by following UNESCO's indications, which at that point would intensify the monitoring of the management of the city. The question, however, has been dragging on for some time, and does not only concern the cruise ships, but also the management of tourism.
However, when it comes to cruise ships, this time around UNESCO has not granted any more time, categorically stating that they must not go through Venice anymore. Since the Costa Concordia tragedy cruise ships have been one of the hottest topics in the city, as we saw at the most recent demonstration with port workers on one side celebrating the return of the Msc Orchestra and the environmentalists on the other side, protesting its presence in Venice.
On the occasion both Vice-Mayor Andrea Tomaello and Commissioner of Tourism Simone Venturini sided with the workers, claiming that the only solution for keeping jobs and preventing the passage of the ships in the Bacino is Marghera.
On May 12 the Camera made law the decree approved by the government at the end of March, which established that cruise ships can no longer pass through the lagoon. Rome has set up a call for ideas for an off-shore port, the announcement of which should be published June 29, indicating Marghera as a temporary solution.
However, after having spread the message around the world that the floating giants would never again be seen passing before San Marco, not even a month later, on June 5, the Msc Orchestra sailed through the canale della Giudecca.

SUMus: a new organization arrives in Venice
Sea level rise, alarm in Venice: "We'll have tides over 80 cm every day"


Every year I give up something for Lent. The season of Lent leads up to Easter in the Christian church, and many people 'give up something' as a recognition of Jesus giving something (His life) for us.
None of the above items appealed to me. Usually something jumps out but while all seemed like good ideas, none were things that would make me feel accomplished. Even saying all of them just seemed 'meh'.
Having an after dinner snack while watching TV. For me this is usually something like a couple of graham crackers, a handful of chips, or something along those lines.
Or anything along these lines.
This may not seem much, but I realize that I do these things far too often. I have a snack just about every night. My wife has one maybe twice a week. So, now I'll be 'OK' to have a snack twice a week, only when my wife does. I will normally have a drink or two once or twice a week. My wife has an occasional glass of wine or maybe a drink if we go out to dinner. So, this will reduce my alcohol consumption. My boss at work has candy dish and it would be about routine to stop by mid-afternoon and grab something. No more.
So the bottom line is that I'm not completely cutting alcohol, sugar, or chocolate, but I'm cutting them all significantly.
And, honestly, my hope is that I can continue this as a routine practice even when Lent is done.
Do any of you out there 'give something up' for Lent? What's on your list this year? And, giving up winter doesn't count!
Lent's Over…So How'd I Do?
A few weeks back, I blogged about how I was giving up laziness for Lent.
Specifically, I wanted to get into an exercise routine, so I set a somewhat vague goal to exercise on a routine basis.
I'm happy to report that I kept with it. I rode the exercise bike a total of 28 times during Lent, going for nearly 12 hours total, burning just over 4,000 total calories according to the readout, all while pedaling nearly 200 miles. I know the intensity is pretty light with those numbers, but compared to what I had done in the months leading up to it (nothing), I'm very happy.
Now, the next goal is to keep it up!
As a side note, my wife's goal (which I joined her in) was to stop snacking before bedtime (we used 8pm as the cutoff). This was achieved as well!
All in all, it was a pretty healthy and successful Lent!
Many Catholics 'give up' something during Lent, with the idea that they're making a sacrifice during the Lenten time so as to acknowledge the sacrifices made by Jesus as we approach Easter season.
In the past, I've given up things like sweets, alcohol or eating anything outside of mealtimes.
This year I decided to change it up a little bit. I'm giving up 'laziness'.
A couple of months ago I wrote about how I hadn't started exercising as part of any New Year's resolution. I don't think New Year's resolutions work for most simply because the pressure is too great, so I'd always had it in mind that I would start a workout program a bit later.
You know, when all the hype died down.
So, I'm giving up being lazy and not exercising. I'm giving up 30 minutes of sleep every morning as I get up and do my exercising before I get my day started. I guess you could say that I enjoy sleeping in and not exercising, so even though some may argue that I'm not giving up anything, I can assure you that those are big things for me.
So far, I've done great.
My secondary goal is to continue this long after Lent. I've always heard that the key to making an exercise program last is to make it part of your routine, so that you do it without even thinking about it. This is where I've failed in the past, and hopefully by the time Lent is over and I've been exercising for six weeks, it will be routine enough that I'll continue on.


The deregulating of Bankss has been a signifier of consistent control in the promotion of the fiscal sector of developed economic systems during the last one-fourth of the twentieth century. Deregulation of Bankss is directed towards increasing competition and advancing control over the soundness of their fiscal place.
The procedure of deregulating is in stages but non ever in a regular order. The first stage of deregulating began with the lifting of quantitative controls on bank assets and the bounds on involvement rates on sedimentations. In the UK recognition bounds were removed by presenting Competition and Credit Control in 1971 and abolished CARTEL. In the USA it began with the remotion of ordinance Q in 1982.
The 2nd stage of deregulating was the remotion of the distinguishing lines between Bankss and other fiscal mediators hereby leting them to vie with each other. In the UK, it encouraged competition between Bankss and edifice societies in the 1980s. The Building Societies Act of 1986 enabled edifice societies to move as Bankss and the Financial Services Act of 1987 which encouraged Bankss to unify with each other to move universally. In the USA, the Glass-Steagall Act ( 1933 ) was repealed in 1999 which separated commercial and investing banking from insurance services.
Deregulation allowed for increased international competition between Bankss. These competitory forces in banking have led to a diminution of traditional banking indicated by a decrease in the profitableness of Bankss ( Gorton and Rosen 1995, Edwards and Mishkin 1995, Danton 1992, Colwell 1991 ) . The lifting of limitations on bank enlargement led Bankss to runing across a wider geographical country, by take downing entry barriers, Bankss monopoly power is eroded. Deregulation led Bankss into come ining new markets, but it did non force them to consolidate within a local market.
Jayaratne and Strahan ( 1998 ) reports that " the banking industry became significantly more efficient following reform, they find that non- involvement costs fell, rewards fell, and that loan losingss fell after provinces deregulated ramifying " . These decreases in costs led to take down monetary values on loans. Besides, before the regulative reform, well-run Bankss faced limitations on their operating markets but when these restraints were removed, nevertheless, assets moved toward the better run Bankss as they gained the chance to get market portion.
Hubbard and Palia ( 1995 ) besides show that direction compensation became more sensitive to public presentation after deregulating.
Fiscal invention is defined harmonizing to Frame & A ; White ( 2009 ) " As something new that reduces costs, reduces hazards, or provides an improved product/service/instrument that better satisfies fiscal system participants " An illustration is the debut of fixed rate mortgages in the UK, where variable rates were dominant and variable rate mortgages into the USA when fixed rates dominates.
Three forces have put force per unit area on Bankss to introduce ; they are ( I ) Financial instability, ( two ) Regulation and ( three ) the development of engineering in the fiscal sector. Fiscal instability in the 1970s was associated with volatility in rising prices, alterations in the involvement rate and exchange rate which led to an addition in demand for instruments that counter the influence of the volatility. Regulation brought about limitations on bank activities and discriminated against certain types of fiscal intermediation. It led to the development of the offshore Eurodollar market in the USA.
Technological development created a agency of developing fiscal merchandises and cost decrease herewith run intoing demand for new instruments. Financial invention has eroded minutess, information costs and market imperfectnesss which have been the footing of Bankss ' efficiency and comparative advantage over capital markets.
Goodhart ( 1984 ) identified three chief signifiers of structural alteration due to fiscal invention. They are ; The switch from plus direction to liability direction in which Bankss maximize the spread between assets and liabilities started in the USA, when Bankss borrowed from the Offshore Eurodollar Market in an effort to overrule the limitations of ordinance Q. Banks managed their liabilities by changing involvement rates on sedimentations and borrowing from inter-bank markets in order to fulfill demand for loans which increased the hazard of Bankss, therefore lending to the present bank failure and crisis experienced in the industry. ; The development of variable rate loaning in order to control the fluctuating involvement rate, which led to the enlargement of bank balance sheets and the debut of hard currency direction engineering.
The globalization of banking in the post-war universe resulted from the 'push ' factors of ordinance in the place state and Eurodollar Market which forced Bankss to travel out of their geographical location and the 'pull ' factors of following the client. The 'pull ' factor was provided by the enlargement of US multinationals into Europe. Canals ( 2002 ) gaining control the globalisation procedure in footings of three strands. The first is the creative activity of a subdivision web overseas. The most noteworthy illustration of this scheme has been Citibank and Barclays. The 2nd strand is amalgamation or outright coup d'etat which is a cost-cutting scheme that has made Bankss bigger and stronger hereby organizing a formidable force particularly if managed good. The 3rd strand is an confederation supported by minority shareholding of each other 's equity which was seen in the instance of Deutsche Bank 's purchase of Morgan Grenfell in 1984. Globalization has created a more unstable banking environment in which new entrants and invention are cut downing the traditional income watercourse of Bankss from involvement income to tip income. Banks have diversified into non-intermediary fiscal services ; variegation is now one of the merchandises of competition on the balance sheet of Bankss, herewith taking to growing in the off-balance-sheet ( OBS ) activity of Bankss. Globalisation besides had the consequence of spread outing Bankss ' balance sheets in both domestic and foreign assets, hereby ensuing in diminution in net income as a per centum of assets in most instances. The gait of globalisation in banking was besides enhanced by the increasing tendency to 'securitization ' The development of securitisation has changed the bank loaning channel mechanism. Securitisation has besides likely changed those bank features normally emphasised in the literature to place displacements in loan supply. The size index is less important because securitisation activity can well cut down the sum of loans on Bankss ' balance sheets ( DeYoung and Rice, 2004 ) . Liquid is besides affected by securitisation because of the short-run influxs caused by the sale of asset-backed securities that modify the standard liquidness ratio. Securitization activity may besides cut down the regulative demands for capital and do the standard capital-to-asset ratio a hapless estimate of the relevant capital restraints faced by Bankss in this respect. More loosely, securitisation provides Bankss with extra flexibleness to face alterations in market conditions associated with pecuniary policy motions.
Soon, the fiscal services industry and banking industry in peculiar is undergoing a cardinal alteration. Intensified competition and terrible overcapacity. This essay reviewed the major tendencies in Corporate and Wholesale banking over the past 20 old ages and the response by Bankss in footings of variegation, downsizing and restructuring.

The Benefits of Going Solar: Helping the Environment While Saving You Money
Home/Information, News/The Benefits of Going Solar: Helping the Environment While Saving You Money
Green energy. Vector illustration
The advantages of home photovoltaic solar energy systems appeal to both idealistic and the pragmatic motivations: Practical homeowners may consider solar panel installation for the financial benefits; all that energy harvested from the sun dramatically lowers electric bills. At the same time, relying on clean, emission-free solar energy significantly shrinks an individual's carbon footprint.
Good for Your Pocketbook
The obstacle that most often holds back homeowners from going solar is the associated high installation costs. What many don't realize, however, is that a significant portion of these costs are actually offset by tax breaks. A federal tax credit of 30% can be claimed for these installation costs, and Colorado offers its residents additional rebates. Another thing to keep in mind is that, even with installation and financing costs, your monthly payment on a residential system will be typically at or below your utility bill.
The break-even point — when a photovoltaic system starts paying for itself — for Colorado residents at about 10 years or less. After this point, your solar panel system will start making you money. You can expect an average return on investment of about 11% each year.
Even homeowners who may move in a few years will still see financial benefits when selling their home. A residential solar system appreciates your home's value by $2 per watt installed. This may sound small but remember that the average home system is five kilowatts, which translates to five thousand watts. And, while the average system will add a respectable $10,000 to your home's value, a higher capacity one will give a correspondingly bigger boost.
Solar energy systems are also great for homeowners wanting to reduce their carbon footprint. The average American household produces 14,920 pounds of carbon dioxide (CO2) each year, assuming an average monthly energy consumption of 957 kilowatt hours. For those living in unconnected single-family homes, this number is significantly higher.
The good news is you can drastically reduce your home's impact on the environment with a residential solar energy system. Solar energy is "green" partly because of its ability to generate power while giving off zero emissions. The power supplied by your system reduces the amount your home has to rely on conventional utilities, which burn polluting fossil fuels to generate electricity. Every kilowatt installed lowers your home's carbon footprint by over 3,000 pounds annually. For the average five-kilowatt residential system, that means a reduction of more than 15,000 pounds of CO2 every year! While you won't realistically be able to eliminate your home's greenhouse gas emissions entirely, solar power goes a long way in shrinking household waste.
Specifically, summer energy consumption is a major contributor to the average household's carbon footprint. In general, home energy use dips during the spring and fall, rises slightly during winter, and dramatically increases over the summer. Although on a per-hour basis summer and winter sunlight generates comparable solar power, summer's longer days lead to a higher per-day energy output. This means that your home solar grid's energy production will peak at the same time of year utilities experience a spike in demand. By doing your part to reduce this peak demand, you'll be shrinking the carbon footprint of your entire local community.

The Getty Foundation announced $1.66 million in architectural conservation grants dedicated to twelve significant 20th century buildings as part of its Keeping It Modern initiative.
Among this year's most recognizable projects is Germany's Bauhaus Building, the revered Dessau structure designed by architect Walter Gropius, who incorporated design features that would ultimately become synonymous with modern architecture around the world.
Walter Gropius's 1925 Dessau Bauhaus building is an icon of the modern movement: a sleek steel, concrete, and glass structure designed to house the most progressive school of art and architecture of the time.
The building is both a clear statement of Gropius's visionary aesthetic and a monument to some of the 20th century's most influential artists, architects, and designers who served as Bauhaus faculty. The central Bauhaus building is a striking ensemble of three wings with two connecting bridges, varying in height and placed at 90 degree angles.
Gropius relied on innovative engineering technologies to create a large skeleton of steel and reinforced concrete, brickwork, and mullioned steel windows. He achieved variation in the façades through restrained color difference between walls and the bold use of steel-framed glass to form curtain walls, one of the earliest examples of this characteristic feature of modernist architecture.
UNESCO named the campus a World Heritage Site in 1996, and today it is open to the public as a museum and research center owned and managed by the Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau. An exemplary steward of the site, Stiftung Bauhaus Dessau recognizes that the longterm care of the building requires the development of a conservation management plan.
To create the plan, experts will research and then consolidate the site's extensive historical and technical records into a comprehensive database to guide and prioritize future interventions. Research will include new technical studies of original paint colors, analyses of character-defining features such as steel-glass window constructions and nickel plated fixtures, and explorations into the use of experimental materials that are no longer produced today.
Exhibition by Gordon Watkinson 'Bauhaus twenty-21: An Ongoing Legacy', a critical and visual exploration of the Bauhaus heritage in the context of contemporary living, architecture and design.
The exhibition has been traveling throughout Europe since its opening at the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt in 2009, commemorating the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus School. It was shown in 8 venues and there are 3 more to come, finishing up the European tour in 2013/2014.
Early next year the exhibition will go on tour in the US: Auburn/AL, Little Rock/AR, Memphis/TN, Bartlesville/OK (in Frank Lloyd Wright's Price Tower!), Moscow/ID, Palm Springs/CA (as part of Modernism Week).
With the exhibition 'Bauhaus twenty-21: An Ongoing Legacy' I wanted to initiate a dialogue between the timeless modernism of Bauhaus architecture and the visions of contemporary practitioners, as well as offer a different perspective on Bauhaus design philosophy as it relates to architecture and its relevance in today's society – from the use of prefabricated housing techniques to create affordable housing, to early ideas in what is today sustainable and green architecture.
The contributors to the project are Michael Siebenbrodt, director of the Bauhaus Museum in Weimar, Falk Jaeger, a noted architecture historian and critic from Berlin, Peter Cachola Schmal, director of the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt, as well as Allmann Sattler Wappner Architects, Rolf Disch, Fink+Jocher, Galli & Rudolf Architects, Ingvartsen Architects, Petzinka Pink Architects, Graham Phillips, RCR Architects, Sauerbruch Hutton, Werner Sobek and Hanno Vogl-Fernheim.
Sunday, April 1st marked the 93rd anniversary of the founding of the Bauhaus School in Weimar.

Ghostlyhaks was created to indulge your every hacking need!
When I first started dabbling in penetration testing, there were many nights of just reading through forums and material trying to wrap my mind around it all. Sometimes I would spend countless hours trying to perform things that now I consider simple tasks. I eventually ended up on YouTube and found a few videos on Offensive Security's Backtrack. I said to myself "The possibilities are endless!". Backtrack is an open source penetration testing platform built on Linux and Ubuntu by security professionals, for security professionals that now has hundreds of tools to automate attacks and exploits. I dove right in and started learning as much as possible about my new found glory. After many nights of being jacked up on caffeine and wanting to pull my own hair out, I finally started to get the hang of things. I later decided that I was going to create my own YouTube channel to make other people's lives easier. My inbox filled up, the comments rolled in, and my subscribers just kept rising. I soon realized that I wasn't going to have enough time to address all of my new fans. I went out on a limb and started learning some web design and finally decided it was time to create what is now known as Ghostlyhaks. This site will be filled with video tutorials on how to hack using Backtrack and eventually on other subjects as well. If there's a video that hasn't been made yet, just go to my Suggestions page and request it. I will personally sit down and make one. If there's a question you need answered, head on over to my Forums and ask me or one of the other members via PM or post it in the Forums. If there's a download that I have made a reference to you cannot seem to find, check out the Downloads section. If you have any questions, concerns, complaints, or praises feel free to contact me anytime.
How to contact me (thaGH05T).
You can contact me via the forums, my screen name is listed above, or you can head on over to my Contact page and drop me a line anytime you would like. Alternatively you can visit my YouTube channel and comment or PM me there.
We are always on the lookout for anyone who can help me build this site, create tutorials or moderate the forums. If you think you are a novice and want to see this site grow, go to the Contact page and send me an email. The subject should be "Team Member?" and the content should list any pertinent skills and a little summary about you. The skills I'm interested in are advanced knowledge in HTML, CSS, Java Script, Linux, backtrack, or any other computer programming language.

There are no examples of complete sets of clothing that have survived from Viking Age Scandinavia, or other European areas inhabited by the Viking peoples. Knowledge of how the Vikings dressed must therefore be pieced together from a variety of sources. Depictions of human figures are fairly common in Viking art, including jewelry, such as cast figures intended for use as pendants, on wood and stone carvings, and on the very few remnants of Viking Age tapestry that have survived. Descriptions of clothing are sometimes found in Viking sagas, and fragmentary remains of fabric plus metal accoutrements for clothing, such as brooches, buckles, etc., have been found with bodies in Viking Age burials.
Problems exist with the reliability of each of these sources. Viking artwork, including its depictions of human figures, tends to be very stylized rather than realistic. Because most of the existing sagas were not put into written form until the thirteenth century — although presumably they are based upon oral tales and poems from the Viking era — a risk exists that descriptions of dress may more accurately reflect styles of the time when the stories were memorialized in writing, rather than the earlier period when they are set. And because fabric finds in burials have been mostly of very small scraps of garments that escaped the destructive processes of decay through quirks of proximity to some other material that protected them, identifying the size and style of garments that once adorned the excavated bodies depends heavily on educated guesswork. Nevertheless, the combination of these sources has allowed us to create a picture of how the Vikings probably dressed.
Three fabrics are known to have been used by the Viking peoples to make clothing during the Viking era: wool, linen, and silk. Fur animal pelts were probably also used by the Vikings to make cold weather outer garments, and as accent trim on items such as cloaks, for it is known that fur pelts were a trade item exported from Viking Age Scandinavia. Wool cloth would have been widely produced locally during the Viking era. Most households probably possessed a loom — large, upright looms were typically used in Scandinavia during this period — although evidence exists that wool cloth was also sometimes produced commercially. Archeological evidence from the town of Ribe, a trading center during the Viking Age located on the west coast of the Jutland peninsula in Denmark, suggests that weaving of cloth was done on a production scale there. Flax is known to have been grown in Denmark and parts of Sweden during the Viking Age, so linen was almost certainly produced in those countries, although it is probable that linen cloth, which is believed to have been quite popular for clothing, was also a trade good which was imported. Silk certainly was imported, probably via the eastern trade routes running from Sweden down along the rivers of Russia to the Black Sea, Byzantium, and the Arab kingdoms beyond.
From traces found in Viking burials, it is known that women and men's clothing was sometimes decorated with trim of ornate woven braid. Silk was popular for decorative trim, and threads of gold and silver were woven into the pattern of the decorative braid in some examples that have been found.
Footwear for both men and women would have been made of leather, and complete or partial surviving examples of a number of different styles have been found, ranging from simple, so-called 'skin shoes,' made of a single piece of leather that was pulled up around the foot and laced together on top, to shoes with uppers made of several pieces of leather sewn to separate soles of a heavier leather, and even ankle and higher boots.
Viking era ankle boots, recreated based on examples from archeological finds.
Although virtually nothing is known about the type of undergarments women or men wore, the innermost layer of clothing worn by women that would have been outwardly visible would have been a long, straight chemise or shift. Among women who could afford a finer quality of cloth, for comfort this garment was probably most often made of linen rather than wool, and was sometimes sewn with numerous fine pleats for decorative effect.
A sleeveless outer dress would have been worn over the chemise. Several different styles for the construction of these outer dresses have been suggested, including a simple 'tablet' dress made of two rectangular pieces of fabric, a single long, rectangular length of cloth that was wrapped around the body, or a straight sewn tubular sheath. All of the suggested styles had in common, though, that they were suspended by straps over the shoulders, which were secured in front by a pair of metal brooches.
Viking era woman's tablet style overdress, worn over a simple linen chemise. A pair of large brooches were typically used to fasten the straps of the dress in the front, and based on grave finds, a small brooch was often used to secure the neck of the chemise. Small household items, such as keys and scissors, would have been worn on the belt, and extra jewelry, such as the beads worn here between the large brooches, was also commonly worn by women.
A Viking era woman might also have worn a shawl or short cape, if needed for warmth, and some illustrations found in art suggest jackets were sometimes worn over the chemise and dress.
Men's clothing would typically have consisted of trousers and a tunic, plus a cape fastened at the left shoulder with a brooch if needed for warmth or protection from the weather. Trouser styles varied: in the western Viking lands they typically were straight-legged, though could be fitted either somewhat loosely or relatively tightly to the leg, but in parts of Sweden and among the Rus, trousers were sometimes worn in a baggy, even billowy eastern style. A knife would typically have been worn at the belt, as well as a pouch to carry personal items, such as a comb, or flint and steel for fire-starting.
Man's garb of tunic and trousers typical of the Viking era. Small personal items
would have been carried in a pouch at the belt. Based on archeological finds,
leather accessories such as belts and pouches were often elaborately decorated.
In the Vikings' culture, it was common for both men and women to wear jewelry. As previously stated, pairs of large brooches, used to fasten the straps of the over-dress, were typically worn by Viking women and are commonly found in their graves. Beads of glass, crystal, amber and various metals were also common, worn as necklaces or in strands hanging between the pair of brooches.

Men and women frequently wore pendants around their necks. Thor's hammer pendants were very common, and considered a good luck charm, although other designs were also popular. Neck rings, arm rings and bracelets of silver or sometimes gold, depending on the wealth of the wearer, were also common items of jewelry for both men and women.

Personal grooming and cleanliness were valued in the Vikings' culture. Representations of women often show their hair worn long, but knotted at the back of the head, and men's beards and mustaches are depicted as carefully trimmed. Combs were a common personal possession for both sexes, as well as small implements used for cleaning the teeth and ears. English observers during the Viking Age recorded their surprise at how often Danes combed their hair, bathed, and changed their clothes, and the Havamal, a collection of Viking sayings and poems, advises that a host should always greet a guest with water and a towel for washing.
