How many banks are needed for a Letter of Credit transaction?
There is a common miss-conception that four or five multiple banks must be involved to manage letter of credit transactions. These multiple banks include credit issuing banks, advising banks, negotiating banks, confirming banks, and reimbursing banks. What is less understood is that these "banks" are functions, not necessarily physical banks. The trade finance functions these banks perform in a transaction can be done by separate banking institutions or by one bank under UCP 600 guidelines (Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, ICC Publication 600).

The Dirty Dozen: Trade Finance Mythology
Change is not just coming; change is here today, now. The impact of using electronic trade documents instead of hard copies of bills of lading, invoices, packing lists, and certificates to settle trade transactions via the Internet will be as profound to global trade finance as the containerization of cargo was to logistics.

Q: C#: WPF - multipage-application pass data between pages I have multi-page application (WPF), i have used it for genetic algorithms my app looks like this

this multi-page application is done with identically logic as contains link below.
http://azerdark.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/multi-page-application-in-wpf/
My question is how can i pass information between pages with object state. I mean that i run genetic algorithm and between GA is running i'll click on graph button it opens new page Graph (in same window) and show some statistics then i go back to main page and everything run in same time. But in this moment it always only make new Page and all data is deleted so i need something to pass data between pages.
The solution should be in this part of code:
public interface ISwitchable
{
  void UtilizeState( object state );
}

public static class Switcher
{
    public static PageSwitcher pageSwitcher;

    public static void Switch(UserControl newPage, object state)
    {
        pageSwitcher.Navigate(newPage, state);
    }
}
    public void Navigate(UserControl nextPage, object state)
    {
        this.Content = nextPage;
        ISwitchable s = nextPage as ISwitchable;

        if (s != null)
            s.UtilizeState(state);
        else
            throw new ArgumentException("NextPage is not ISwitchable! "
              + nextPage.Name.ToString());
    }
}

//Part of code in MainMenu
private void OriginCovering_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e){
   Switcher.Switch(new OriginCovering());
}

//Part of code in OriginCovering
public void UtilizeState(object state){
  throw new NotImplementedException();
}

We are very pleased with our time in the temporary premises. Everything has worked just fine.
Futurum School is Håbo municipality's largest school. There are a total of 800 students here from reception class to 9th grade. The school consists of two original buildings built in the early 1970s which were later joined together.
- In 2010 we began to suspect that there was something wrong with the indoor air in that part of the school. More and more of us felt ill. This led to an analysis of the building which showed a wide range of defects. This included moisture in the ground and leakage and condensation in the roof.
- After investigation, we realised that it required a complete renovation. At the beginning we hoped that it could be done in stages and that we would not need to completely leave the building. But that was not possible. As soon as people knew about the problem they did not want to carry on working in the old buildings. We just had to rent temporary premises.
- We were also under real time pressure, but it proved more difficult than we thought to find enough space. After a calling round it became clear that Temporent was the only provider who could manage such a large and rapid construction. And in just 10 weeks, they built a new school building with ten classrooms and a staff room. The entire project was completed without problems.
- In the beginning some people thought that they would now be working in sheds or site huts, but they soon realised that these were real school modules, fully adapted for teaching. Our school renovation is nearing completion and it is time to move back. We are very pleased with our time in the temporary premises. Everything has worked just fine.
Our schools are a favourable overall solution for those who need to rent temporary premises rapidly and have high standards for a positive school environment.

When it comes to jobs, why is this time different?
In 1964, and open letter was drafted and sent to President Johnson, warning him of the coming Triple Revolution.
The letter was composed and signed by 35 members of the "Ad Hoc Committee on the Triple Revolution," which include luminaries like Nobel Chemist, Linus Pauling; civil rights activist, Tom Hayden; and Swedish Nobel Economist, Gunnar Myrdal.
Of particular interest to me was the work of one of the signers, Robert Theobald, a futurist who had written extensively on the economics of abundance and his advocacy of a Basic Income Guarantee. These are the same topics being discussed by those today who fear massive technological unemployment in the years ahead.
Even though this 1964 warning of a Triple Revolution registered little more than a tiny blip on the radar screen of history, computers have dramatically changed the jobs landscape as well as the skills required to perform those jobs.
As we survey the trends landscape, there are literally hundreds of significant trends affecting us in one way or another. But if we sort through the ones that pose a fundamental shift to employment, seven of them tend to rise above the rest.
Britain's Telegraph recently published an article with the headline, "South Koreans will be 'extinct' by 2750 if nothing is done to halt the nation's falling fertility rate." With a fertility rate of 1.19 children per woman, Korea now ranks as the lowest in the world.
India, China, Japan, and Brazil all have massively declining fertility rate, part of a global trend towards negative population growth. Yet the media and many educated Americans have missed this major development entirely, instead sticking to erroneous perceptions that global population will continue to drive everything from environmental degradation and immigration to food and resource scarcity.
Here are a few of the latest fertility rates, according to the World Bank, in major countries around the world. Keep in mind the replacement rate is 2.1 for a population to stay at its current level.
With the exception of India, the major population centers of the world all are destined for negative population growth.
Yes, the world population is still growing, fueled primarily by people living longer and high fertility rates in Africa. But even Africa is predicted to slip into negative growth rates over time.
The most significant challenge is the long lead-time needed to move in the other direction. Since raising a child takes about 20 years to go from infant to productive adult, any major improvements here wouldn't show up until somewhere between 2035-2040.
Even though many are rooting for zero population growth for environmental reasons, the struggles ahead related to managing systems with a growing imbalance between young people and old people, will not be easy.
In some ways exponential industries are a great way to compensate for our declining workforce.
Exponentialism is the science behind digital technologies far-reaching influence on innovation. The exponential cost-performance of the three basic building blocks of our digital world – computing power, storage, and bandwidth – have started to affect vertically every other business, sending jolts of performance opportunities through these industries.
This type of change is most disruptive when two or more technologies "interact and combine" in ways that "coalesce into open platforms and ecosystems." Think in terms of the intersection between AI (artificial intelligence) and quantum computing, or changes to synthetic biology when it's amplified by 3D printing.
Exponential innovations are rapidly crossing boundaries we could never imagine in the past, and as a result, our language and terminology has begun to blur. At the same time, it's already touching staid old industries like financial services.
Mixing AI and natural language processing (NLP) with shopping, work, and social characteristics, we have the potential to develop far a more dynamic credit rating systems, facilitating far more efficient ways to match lenders and borrowers. This will mean new industries will explode from zero-to-operational in a matter of hours rather than months or years.
Exponential industries are confusing, thought provoking, and mysterious all at the same time because they have the potential to spawn massive change in a short period of time, often with little forewarning.
The Internet is building our awareness in ways we can't yet assign metrics to. The number of photos we see in an average month, the amount of information we consume, the amount of time we spend interacting with digital personas, avatars, and entertainment are all part of our growing awareness of the people, places, and things that will all be part of our future.
Along with all this activity comes a user mindset that is increasingly aware of millions of tiny information fragments that guide our decision-making, our ability to adapt, and our ability to function in our increasingly fluid work environments.
Awareness will become a key part of our employability in the future.
As our dependence on systems and technology grows, so do the number of potential breaking points.
We all know that a simple power outage can shut down our work, traffic systems, restaurants, doctor, and dental offices. Having a very reliable electric grid makes it difficult to justify backup systems in most places.
We also know how disruptive it can be to lose cell coverage, not have Wi-Fi, or lose our water, cable, or Internet altogether. Every new capability tends to increase our expectations, but when it's gone we are forced to compensate.
Every new dependency adds one more possible failure point to the mix. Depending on the situation, our growing levels of fragility can either increase or decrease our job prospects for the future.
In our increasingly connected world, it's easy to see how much power and influence the individual has today. This kind of power can be used to disrupt industries, make a difference, or even change the world.
Grace Choi – This Harvard Business School graduate recently invented Mink, a sub-$300 3D printer that prints custom makeup pigments on demand, a product that will radically transform the high-end cosmetic industry.
Fatou Doumbia – When it comes to creating sustainable farming and food supplies, the people of Mali, West Africa still have a long ways to go. Fatou's plan is to empower women, teach them the best farming techniques, and overcome the challenges of a male-oriented society.
Ben Kaufman – This 27 year old founder of the NY-based invention company, Quirky, has raised over $90 million to turn social invention into a faster way to bring great ideas to market.
David Allerby – 33 year old founder of HomeCare, a company that provides temporary in-home assistants for seniors and children with developmental disabilities.
Sean Kelly – This 29 year old two-time freestyle snowboarding national champion now runs HUMAN Healthy Vending, a chain of franchised vending machines filled with healthy foods, like fresh fruit and sports supplements.
As people come to grips with their own wielding of power, the result will be unique and unprecedented. They will consciously decide to do something extremely positive, like those listed above, or something extremely negative.
What we are seeing is the balance of that power shifting from large corporations into the hands of individuals. But when it comes to people losing their job, we will need to be ever vigilant to insure those who find themselves on the outside, don't resort to using the dark side of this power.
Will our grandchildren grow up to call their grandchildren lazy?
It seems that every generation has a cynical view of their kids and grandkids. They don't try hard enough, make the right decisions, plan well enough, and simply don't have any common sense.
At the same time, we have seriously overprotected our kids. There are no longer real chemistry sets and schools aren't allowed to let students use a scissors. Every sport requires helmets, chin guards, mouth guards, kneepads, and a nurse or doctor on call in case something goes wrong. And playgrounds have to be designed so no one can possibly get hurt, meaning no swings, no teeter-totter, no merry-go-round, and padded surfaces everywhere.
Since we've chosen to make all kids feel special, no one actually feels that way anymore. We can't have winners without losers. In the real world, people will never care about your kid unless your kid gives them a reason to care.
In the U.S. over 29% of those under 35 still live at home with their parents. Other places in the world it's worse. In Italy, as example, over 60% of men under 35 still live with their parents.
Dealing with an overly-coddled Nerf generation will have long term implications on tomorrow's job market, both in terms of maturity, employability and overall resilience when it comes to dealing with adversity.
In many cases yes, but not always.
Are people spotting and responding to the opportunities in ways where the future will somehow take care of itself? Or do we need to send something similar to the "Triple Revolution" letter to the President of the U.S. warning him/her of the trials ahead?
Not everyone agrees there will be problems.
MIT economics professor David Autor describes it this way.
"If 'displace more jobs' means 'eliminate dull, repetitive, and unpleasant work,' the answer would be yes. How unhappy are you that your dishwasher has replaced washing dishes by hand, your washing machine has displaced washing clothes by hand, or your vacuum cleaner has replaced hand cleaning?
My guess is this 'job displacement' has been very welcome, as will the 'job displacement' that will occur over the next 10 years. The work week has fallen from 70 hours a week to about 37 hours now, and I expect that it will continue to fall. This is a good thing.
It's easy to see how things are different this time around, but are they different enough to warrant concern?
From my perspective, the job market is indeed a self-organizing complex system, and for the most part it will take care of itself. However, the main problems we face will stem from those feeling personally betrayed, waging a private war against either companies or systems they deem responsible. The power of the individual should not be underestimated.
Sadly, these one-off incidents are rarely predictable, and from a systems-thinking perspective, are the least preventable.
That said, I'd love to hear your thoughts on why this time may or may not be different.

HARRISBURG — A man filed a class-action lawsuit against Consumer Advocacy Center Inc., doing business as Premier Student Loan Center, citing alleged violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
Lead plaintiff Jeremy Jackson filed a complaint July 11, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, alleging that the defendant violated TCPA by making intrusive and unwanted calls.
According to the complaint, the defendant is guilty of nuisance, trespass, abuse and harassment and has invaded the privacy of the class members by sending unsolicited text messages and makng unwanted calls to sell student loan services. In addition, Jackson claims the text messages and calls were unlawfully made using a device that stores random numbers and dials sequentially without human intervention.
The lawsuit said these calls were made without prior express consent from the recipients.
The plaintiff requests a trial by jury and seeks $500 in statutory damages for every violation, injunctive relief and all other relief the court deems just. He is represented by Stephen DeNittis and Ross Schmierer of DeNittis Osefchen Prince PC in Philadelphia.

Congratulations to the nine Fridley Middle School (FMS) 8th grade students who were selected to advance to the National History Day state competition! A total of 35 FMS students competed at National History Day regionals on March 23, 2019 at White Bear Lake High School.
The National History Day state competition will be held on Saturday, May 4 at the University of Minnesota-Twin Cities campus. The top entries from the Minnesota state event will be awarded the opportunity to compete at the national contest at the University of Maryland-College Park in mid-June.
National History Day is an interdisciplinary research project that allows students to explore world issues and develop their inquiry and research skills. The International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme at FMS focuses on allowing students to develop their Approaches to Learning (ATL) skills, which includes self-management, communication, research skills, social skills and critical thinking skills. The National History Day project is an excellent opportunity for students to put these skills into practice, empower them to meet challenging objectives, and helping foster critical skills that will prepare them for future success.
Great work to all our students, and best of luck to the students who are advancing to state!

The California State Teachers' Retirement System (CalSTRS) committed more than $4.7 billion to 19 private equity investments and seven real estate investments in the second half of the 2017-2018 fiscal year, system investment reports show.
The biggest share of the commitments went to the system's $19.3 billion private equity portfolio, which makes up 8.82% of the system's overall $219.1 billion portfolio.
In private equity, the biggest commitment, $500 million, went to Blackstone Core Equity Partners CA, a $5 billion buyout fund focusing on opportunities in North America and Europe.
The next biggest commitments were $300 million each to three buyout funds: Encap Energy Capital Fund XI, New Enterprise Associates 16, and Apollo Investment Fund IX. The Encap fund is a $6.5 billion buyout fund focusing on upstream energy investments primarily in the US. The New Enterprise Associates fund is a $3.5 billion venture capital (VC) fund primarily focused on technology and healthcare investments in the US. The Apollo Investment Fund is a $23.5 billion mega buyout focusing on value-oriented investing primarily in North America.
CalSTRS has also committed $250 million each to three additional private equity funds: Clayton, Dubilier & Rice Fund X, a $7.5 billion buyout fund focused on control investments in the US and Europe; CalSTRS New and Next Gen Manager Fund IV, a buyout and VC fund-of-funds targeting emerging managers; and GI Partners V, a middle-market and buyout fund focused on control and down-side protected growth investments.
In the overseas buyout category, CalSTRS also committed €250 ($285) billion to CVC Capital Partner VII fund, and €153 ($174) billion to Vitruvian VIP III fund.

The Vitruvian fund focuses on emerging themes of change or disruption to market incumbents in Northern and Western Europe.
Turning its attention to Asia and Australia, CalSTRS committed $180 million to the KKR Asian Fund, a buyout fund focused on goal-oriented investments in those two continents.
A smaller commitment of $150 million went to a buyout fund managed by StonePoint Capital, the Trident VII fund. Smaller commitments were made to the Peak Rock Capital Fund II & Peak Rock Credit Fund II. The private equity fund targets distressed debt in North America and Europe.
The CalSTRS commitments also include money allocated to three smaller VC funds.

Mayoral Detachment in Downtown Chicago

Today marks one of the most important mayoral elections for the city of Chicago in over 40 years, and lots of Chicagoans — including SAIC students — have an opinion. To see what the locals are actually thinking, a group of SAIC students hit the streets, questioning people about who they might be voting for, and which are the most important issues in this election. Here's what they had to say.
By Jessie Platz
"I'm not even from here. And in fact I can't stand America."
Stephen, an exchange student from Britain studying at Columbia College this semester, coolly voiced his opinion while smoking a cigarette outside a downtown dorm. He was flanked by continental confidantes and fellow students Fisnik and Agon, from Switzerland, who echoed his views with slightly less sarcasm and a few appreciative laughs. None of the guys seemed to know much about tomorrow's mayoral election—Chicago's first in years—but the name Emanuel was thrown around a bit, mingled with the good-natured banter on a bitterly cold evening in the city's downtown between Michigan Avenue and Dearborn Street.
Several conversations, though not all of them as bitingly unpatriotic, followed this model. It would seem that the heart of Chicago is full of people from other places. Commuters and recently relocated students gathered in warm coffee shops and bars to chat, local politics far from their minds as they sipped and smoked and reluctantly admitted apathy or lack of information.
Where are the voters? Probably huddled away at home, planning the tedious trek to a local library or public school tomorrow to have their say at the polls. Who knows!
But downtown, with its reeling skyscrapers, fast walking suits and smattering of drifters and panhandlers, people assumed an especially distant and impersonal character on February 21, the night before 2011's historic mayoral election. It is the nature of a city to house the nation's new-comers and travelers, but it is surprising to realize suddenly the literal transience of the place. Everyone moves fast here, quickly exiting the gridded corridor of Midwestern America's largest metropolis.
No one really lives downtown. Those who do are clustered in high-rise apartments and condos near the lake or crammed into little 10 to 14-story dorms located a little to the east of their affluent neighbors. The former of these groups seemed absent from the inner-city scene, and the latter emerged as fundamentally uninformed or misinformed, tired and nonchalant about the whole thing.
Maybe this detachment from events of city and state signals a change for the make-up of the city in the future. Presently, the loop, a virtual epicenter of human life and culture, appears void of cohesive understanding of the environment. After all, what do students, the homeless and the ultra-affluent have in common, really? Not much. And how long do any of them plan to live in the middle of the city?

We study the alkyne semi-hydrogenation selectivity over Pd and Lindlar catalyst with liquid phase adsorption. The results indicate that there are strongly-adsorbing alkyne and alkene sites; alkenes react non-selectively over the alkene adsorption sites. DFT studies indicate that the non-selective sites are low-coordination Pd atoms in the nanoparticles.

Elkin & Nelson fue una agrupación colombiana conformada por los hermanos Elkin Javier Marín Velez y Nelson León Marín Velez. A comienzos de los años 1970 el dúo se trasladó a España, donde desarrollaron su carrera musical. Fusionando ritmos latinos con música rock influenciada por artistas como James Brown y Santana, el dúo empezó a hacerse un nombre en la escena ibérica especialmente con la canción "Jíbaro" de su álbum de 1974 Ángeles y Demonios. Entre 1974 y 1992 grabaron tres álbumes de estudio y algunos sencillos.

With the dedication of many and a lot of collaboration, Jim Miller was able to submit our Regional Economic Development Plan to the USDA and it was approved after nearly a full year of work. We also put a lot of effort into becoming a part of the New Mexico Main Street program. We formed a Main Street Committee and worked diligently to gain acceptance into this program, which we were granted in late October. Again, we realized how effective we can be when we work together. As many of you know I had been working on this for several years but with Greg Cory, our Community Development Director working with me we were successful.
We had a wonderful reception at our "Lincoln County Day in Santa Fe" last February. On just a side note that event will be on February 1, 2017 and it is already time to register if you plan on attending. We also had a fabulous Annual Banquet in 2016. Our local parades were fun and all of the special events set record numbers this year in attracting tourists.
The positive outcome that we see from our labor during this year was due in full to the collaboration of so many and the community input. I know I say it often but that is because I know it is true, it takes a Village. As the Director of the Ruidoso Valley Chamber of Commerce I am looking forward to another prosperous and productive year for us all.

Not too shabby for a place with no natural resources…
There are truly so many things to love about Hong Kong.
Most visitors would probably gush about the exotic night life or legendary cuisine (the Cantonese, they say, eat anything with four legs… except the table.)
All of those things are fine and good. But at the top of my own list of things that I love about Hong Kong is that this place is a veritable monument to the awe-inspiring forces of capitalism.
When Hong Kong was handed over to the British in 1897, it was nothing more than a remote fishing village with a handful of illiterate peasants.
Within a few decades it would grow to be one of the most modern and prosperous places on planet.
There's no secret its success: Hong Kong has long been famous for being one of the freest places in the world, where free market capitalism reigned supreme instead of bureaucratic stooges.
Talented entrepreneurs came here because they knew they would be unconstrained to build, achieve, and create value, where the only limitation was the extent of their own ambition.
You can still see it everywhere; Hong Kong has the highest concentration of skyscrapers in the world with world-leading infrastructure that cuts through mountains and beneath the sea with ease and sophistication.
And the prosperity here is boundless. Hong Kong enjoys one of the highest standards of living in the world and one of the highest GDPs per capita.
Banks here are extremely liquid and well-capitalized. Plus the government has minimal debt and is awash with cash despite having one of the world's lowest tax rates.
That's not too shabby for a place that has virtually zero natural resources.
All of this success is due in large part to Hong Kong's freedom; and that freedom has become a cultural value here, something that people cherish. When it's under threat, they protect it.
Over the weekend while I was here, people in Hong Kong staged a MAJOR protest, estimated at more than 1 million people. That's more than 10% of the entire population.
They were out in the streets protesting against a new law that will make it easier to extradite political dissidents to mainland China– something the locals here find morally reprehensible.
They've been fighting against growing influence from the mainland ever since the British handed control back to China in 1997.
China promised to keep its hands off for at least 50 years, but they haven't kept that promise, and the communist party has been slowly sinking its teeth into Hong Kong ever since.
Every time that happens, people in Hong Kong fight back, en masse, to safeguard their prized freedoms.
But as hard as they fight, they can also see the writing on the wall: the Chinese government is not going to stop chipping away at the liberties that made Hong Kong what it is.
So they instinctively know that they need a Plan B.
Having a Plan B is not about Doom and Gloom. It's an insurance policy against future risks, no different than insuring your home against a fire.
Obviously no one expects their home to catch fire, or lies awake at night terrified that everything is going to burn to the ground.
We purchase insurance policies because it's a sensible thing to do. And then we go on with our lives.
That's a Plan B. And for many people, a big part of that is having a second residency– so that if things ever take a turn for the worst in their home country, they have a place to go with their families to live, work and continue prospering.
People understand that intuitively here. Even the weekend edition of the local paper had a front-page report about real estate in Canada– which is a popular investment here.
They buy overseas property as an investment… and a way to obtain residency (there are many countries where buying real estate entitles you to residency)
So if things in Hong Kong remain good, their foreign investment property will generate cash flow and appreciate in value. That's a win.
But if things take a turn for the worst, they already have a place to go– a home, with legal residency, where they can relocate in a matter of hours. That's an even bigger win.
This is an absolutely sensible precaution that anyone in the world who has the means should consider.
