Why Should You Work With a Creative Star?
Manuel Sosa, INSEAD Associate Professor of Technology and Operations Management; Jürgen Mihm, INSEAD Professor of Technology and Operations Management; and Haibo Liu, UC Riverside Assistant Professor of Management | March 12, 2019
Collaborating with creative stars can make you more creative and help unlock your star potential.
"Before the terms streetwear or luxury existed, he was bringing forth street culture ideas through the high fashion system." -- Virgil Abloh in Dazed
Virgil Abloh, Louis Vuitton's men's artistic director and founder of haute streetwear label Off-White, paid tribute to Kim Jones, his LV predecessor and former mentor, now creative director for Dior Homme. Abloh admits to learning a lot from Jones, who he first met in 2007 when he was a virtual unknown and Jones was a prominent designer renowned for successfully blending high fashion and streetwear. During a series of talks with streetwear fans in London in 2017, Abloh noted, "I slept on his couch in a front room in Maida Vale and forced him to teach me stuff, I spent a summer sitting there with him."
Like every aspiring innovator, Abloh knew that working closely with stars such as Jones would be good for him. Indeed, stories of junior designers learning from creative masters are common in various industries. So, what do you get from working with a creative star beyond fame and connections? And does it actually make you more creative?
Creative stars contribute far more than just status and additional knowledge to a collaboration. They bring a superior set of creative skills that allows them to push existing paradigms into new territories; to see new possibilities that others overlook; to uncover similarities across different perspectives; and to iteratively refine the most promising ideas. These stars typically have the ability to synthesise diverse ideas in a way that maximises creativity, leading to exceptional innovations.
Collaborating with stars provides non-stars with the opportunity to learn and develop these superior creative skills, increasing the likelihood they will go on to create a series of radical innovation. The non-star can become more creative, and even gain their own star status.
Star designers are adept at creative synthesis
Where does outstanding innovation come from? Common belief associates breakthrough innovation with a lightning strike, with a lightbulb moment or an apple that's fallen onto a head. It assumes that there is a flash of insight, an incredible moment where a genius establishes novel connections between different elements and thus makes a breakthrough. To understand the benefits of working with a creative star, it is, however, crucial to recognise the role of an alternative view of creating breakthrough innovations: creative synthesis. This less understood approach to innovation focuses on the notion that radical innovations are likely to emerge by taking a single idea and persistently reframing, refining and retesting it until it shines. Although the quality of the raw concept is certainly important, it is the work that follows that determines whether an idea becomes great. Creative synthesis has been likened to sculpting a complex shape or creating vanguard cuisine. It is a holistic and artistic approach to creative tasks requiring wisdom and experience.
People who master creative synthesis share certain tacit, intricately linked traits and behaviours. They are consummate questioners who constantly challenge common assumptions and are adept in connecting disparate fields, problems and ideas. They are better at being able to clarify and define complex problems, and focus collective attention not only on the "what is" but also on "what could be". When collaborating with others, they attend to ideas in a way that each member of a group can understand, helping to facilitate communication that pushes innovation forward. They are also persistent and are better at pacing the creative process, knowing when to continue evaluating ideas and when it is time to start enacting them.
Creative synthesis is the mystical touch that transforms
These skills are not something that can be fully learned by reading a book or attending a design class. For many creative stars, they are intuitive or gained through experience. However, the likelihood of someone learning these skills (and eventually becoming a star themselves) is significantly higher if they work in close proximity to someone who possesses them.
This was the hypothesis put forward and tested in our recent study Where Do Stars Come From? The Role of Star Versus Non-star Collaborators in Creative Settings. Our research, which examined the collaboration patterns of 144,288 designers granted design patents by the United States Patent and Trademark Office over 35 years, found that star designers who created the most influential patents (those most cited by other future patents) exhibited more creative synthesis behaviours than non-star designers. Specifically, they spent more time refining a potentially ground-breaking idea than non-stars. We noted that non-stars working with stars were more likely to imitate this behaviour, suggesting that non-stars learn creative synthesis from the stars with whom they collaborate.
Optimum conditions for star power
Admittedly, creative synthesis is not the only approach to develop a breakthrough. There is the well-established approach to creativity that sees innovation as a new way of combining existing elements. This view is central to an evolutionary theory of innovation put forward by Nobel laureate Joseph Schumpeter and supported by a stream of academic research. It involves the combination of as many diverse ideas as possible increasing the chance of creating a potentially ground-breaking concept. Based on this claim, you need to rely on a pool of diverse collaborators to ignite the creative spark.
Creative synthesis and the combinatorial approach of creativity can both bring extraordinary results and work well in tandem. However, creative synthesis is the skill, if mastered, which will ultimately transform your creativity.
It is important to note that optimal working conditions and collaboration processes differ depending on whether innovators are working with stars or non-stars.
Our research confirmed previous findings which showed that when teams of non-stars work together, diversity is the key to creativity. The greater the divergence in knowledge and ideas brought to the project, the greater the chance something new and significant will be created. In these cases, to maximise the likelihood of a breakthrough and eventually nurturing a creative star, managers should make decisions that limit redundant social connections to the team and bring in new members whose expertise and experience are different from others in the group.
On the other hand, when collaborating with stars, a very cohesive environment brings better results. Shared social connections and closer similarities of expertise help to build a common understanding of new paradigms and encourage collaborators to see similarities among their different perspectives. As well as increasing the likelihood of breakthrough innovations, this facilitates the transfer of creative synthesis knowledge and skills to non-star collaborators, significantly increasing the chance of one day becoming a creative star themselves. Indeed, organisations like Pixar and El Bulli (the former highly influential three-starred Michelin restaurant) have generated remarkable innovations in their small, close-knit creative teams where creative synthesis skills were learned from star members' superior abilities.
In short, when working with a star, creative synthesis is the key skill an aspiring innovator should focus on – a skill more likely to be learned by working with those who exhibit it. To magnify this effect, special attention needs to be paid to maximising shared social connections and expertise around star collaborations.

What is a Collaborative Divorce?
January 14th, 2019 by CLLB Law
For many, the process of going through a divorce is one of the most difficult times in life. Things can be further complicated when divorcing spouses encounter disputes about child custody, division of assets, and other terms of the separation. Fortunately, much of the stress and drama of a separation can be avoided by going through the process of a collaborative divorce. How Does a Collaborative Divorce Work? In Indiana, a collaborative divorce refers to one where both parties work with their own attorneys and meet regularly to reach agreements on various aspects of the separation itself. Ultimately, the goal of a collaborative divorce is to iron out differences and avoid needing to go to court over these issues. As[…..]
Should Indiana's Spousal Maintenance Law Change?
January 2nd, 2019 by CLLB Law
If you're a spouse who sacrificed a career to care for children and later divorces, you may get spousal support for only three years. If you're back in the workforce after being absent for years, this isn't much time to get your income to a level where you can comfortably support yourself. This part of Indiana family law has come under scrutiny and should be changed because of the unfairness it can cause. This type of spousal maintenance (the term "alimony" isn't used in Indiana law) is known as rehabilitative maintenance. It's supposed to help "rehabilitate" a spouse whose unpaid job (possibly for decades) was to care for children and a household; it gives a three-year window of support while[…..]
Parental Alienation: Using Your Kids as Pawns in Your Battle Against the Other Parent
August 6th, 2018 by CLLB Law
The use of children as pawns in an ugly war between parents is a common issue that family law attorneys deal with. Either their own clients engage in it or the other parent is playing emotional games with children to seek revenge for a divorce or ending a relationship. It's a no-win situation for the parents and the children. Heartbreaking though it may be, you could find yourself in this situation. Even if you think your spouse is the last person who would do something like this, people can be unpredictable when tensions are high and everyone is hurting. If you find yourself in a situation where someone is using kids as pawns, seek legal help right away. The longer the games[…..]
Mistakes to Avoid When Getting a Divorce
July 19th, 2018 by CLLB Law
An Indiana divorce could be a complicated and emotional process, and there are things you can do to make the situation worse. They are completely avoidable. Divorcing couples need to think things through and not respond emotionally, two things that can be difficult for some people. You may be angry, upset and feel the life you planned for yourself is being robbed from you, but it doesn't justify making these mistakes. DO NOT . . . Use your child as a pawn: "Parental alienation" is an all-too-common problem for divorcing parents. Kids are used as pawns in the divorce battle and directly or indirectly asked to choose sides, which is a no-win situation for a child. Degrading your spouse or[…..]
Considerations for Postnuptial and Prenuptial Agreements
June 28th, 2018 by CLLB Law
An Indiana divorce can drain you of energy, emotion and dollars. Two potential ways to prevent or lessen those losses are prenuptial and postnuptial agreements. They are agreements made between the parties either before (prenuptial) or after (postnuptial) they're married. These agreements can spell out how various issues (but not child custody or support) will be resolved in case the parties end their marriage. Without one of these agreements, under Indiana law all property brought into a marriage or acquired during it is joined together and will be subject to division in a divorce. Under Kentucky law, property is deemed marital or nonmarital. The division of property starts with a presumption of an even split; then one party can argue[…..]
Older and Wiser: More Americans 50 and Older are Ending Bad Marriages and Starting New Lives
December 12th, 2017 by CLLB Law
With age and experience should come wisdom. Sometimes that wisdom results in the decision to end a non-functional Indiana marriage and start a new and better life. The Pew Research Center reports that although divorce is less common for younger adults, "gray divorce" is increasing in the U.S. The divorce rate for those fifty and older has roughly doubled, and for those 65 and older that rate has about tripled, since the 1990's. The divorce rate is not uniform across age groups. In 2015, 21 adults aged 40 to 49 divorced per 1,000 married persons in that age range, up slightly from 18 in 1990. The divorce rate for those 25 to 39 decreased from 30 persons per 1,000 married[…..]
National Ex-Spouse Day: Unique "Holiday" Can Be Cause to Celebrate
April 10th, 2017 by CLLB Law
April 14th: — the day President Lincoln was shot in Ford's Theatre; the day the Titanic hit that iceberg; and the day when ex-spouses are encouraged to remember each other. While relationships can sometimes feel like a disaster, the Reverend Ronald Coleman of Kansas City, Missouri, created National Ex-Spouse Day as a day for healing. He intended that people who were going through or had gone through divorce set aside some time to let go of any negative feelings they had toward their former spouse. That process could be coupled with symbolic gestures such as deleting those upsetting old emails or texts, returning (or disposing of) items that belong to your ex, or journaling about your emotions to clear your[…..]
The Treatment of Pets in the Divorce Process
March 28th, 2017 by CLLB Law
Most people consider their pets to be part of the family. Many pets even get matching sweaters for the holiday photo cards and portraits. We take care of their needs, like they're furry toddlers – only they can be left alone without much worry. Companion animals have been known to lower stress, teach children compassion, and help ease symptoms of depression. When it comes to divorce, deciding who gets Fluffy and Fido is just one of the many areas that has to be negotiated. Recently, pet custody has been a hot topic in courtrooms across the country, and Indiana is no exception. Generally, animals are considered by the law as property, objects to be owned. Judges have been dividing up[…..]

By far the easiest way to see the coast is renting a car, but if you are like me when I first got here and intimidated by driving in a foreign country, I don't blame you!
The good thing about Ecuador is you can bus it and be just fine.
Most fly into Guayaquil. From there I suggest taking the shared taxi company for $10 a person, 2 hrs, to Salinas. They leave from the Ramada in Guayaquil.
Skip Playas if you don't have a car. Too off the beaten path.
Head straight for Salinas, the taxi company drops you off right at the malecon (boardwalk) whereas the buses only take you to Ballenita which is a nearby town and you have to catch a $5 cab there to Salinas.
Stay as long as you like then catch a cab to the bus terminal in Ballenita ($5) and catch a chicken bus north to Montanita-Olon (1 HR, about $3). There are also direct buses Guayaquil-Montanita if you wish to skip Salinas.
From there on up to Puerto Lopez you can hop on hop off buses as you like at beautiful beaches like Nunez, San Jose, Ayampe and Las Tunas. The buses only run until around 7pm though and pass every half hour or so!
From Puerto Lopez you can catch a motorbike-taxi to Los Frailes Beach or in the other direction also minutes away Salango. very nice!
And there you can hop on a bus going north to Puerto Cayo (45 min) which has some great places to eat seafood on the beach and enjoy the view of the islands offshore.
From there the easiest, best route for non-car people is to catch the bus inland to Jipijapa and onto PortoViejo (1 hr).
I suggest sleeping in either Puerto Lopez or PortoViejo as the options in the other places in between are suspect. From there you can go to Manta to catch a plane back to Quito.
Or from PortoViejo you can venture north. I'd skip Crucita as it is a bit hard to get in and out of there by public transport if your plan is to beach hop north, and instead check out San Jacinto-San Clemente (1 hr) Beach which is right on the busline from PortoViejo to Bahia.
Head north from Canoa to Pedernales where i would not stay, just connect north, then skip Cojimes (too hard by bus), and go straight to(3 hrs) Mompiche-Portete.
From there skip Muisne, the Galera area, and even Same (too hard by public transport) and head straight for the Sua-Atacames-Tonsupa (1-2 hrs) area just south of Esmeraldas where when finished soaking up the sun and eating seafood you can then catch a 6 hr overnight bus to Quito.
Other beaches not mentioned here (like Manta!) I'd skip cause they are just too dang hard to access via public transport if you are going north-south or south-north up the coast.

Strategic goals are measurable results that will help you achieve your product vision. Adding goals to Aha! for Product enables you to weave the "red thread of strategy" throughout your roadmapping process. Every release you plan will have a purpose of driving towards one or more of your goals. You can link features directly to the goals they impact. Linking releases and features to goals ensures that the product team is working on what matters.
Goals should be achievable within a fixed time frame, typically 3-12 months. They should represent the critical accomplishments required to make your vision a reality. They are often stepping stones to accelerating business growth via bolder goals. You cannot improve goals if you cannot measure them, so they should be reasonably easy to track and link to high-level goals within your company.
Once you enter your goals, you can track and share them with your team and key stakeholders through Aha! for product notebooks located under the More options dropdown on the top right of the page.
Strategic initiatives undertaken by your team often drive the success of a goal. You can link your related goals and initiatives to the time frame in which you expect them to be completed. This allows teams to do long-term strategic planning and then filter based on time frame to keep the team focused on what is next.
Navigate to Strategy > Goals. If you haven't entered any goals yet, Aha! for Product will prompt you. To add a new goal, simply click on Add goal. Enter the goal name, an optional description, and the success metric. You can also connect your product and product line goals together while creating your goal.
You can filter your goals to communicate which ones are completed, in progress, not yet started, or any other custom statuses that you have set up.
Then you can visualize all of your goals — or just the filtered ones — to help you better understand which goals to pursue. Drag your goals on the chart to compare them as they relate to each other in the context of your product or business. Click on the existing default labels and axis values on the grid to edit them, and type in the new value or metric. Customize this text to use terminology that fits how you want to map them.
While goals can be independent entities, they are often achieved through high-level efforts called initiatives. You can link the initiatives that drive you towards your goals right from the detail view.
For example, you may have a goal of being "#1 in social fitness cycling software," and you will achieve that goal through key website launches. You may also have a goal at a product line level above that, to grow by 2x in 2019. Link initiatives to your goals from either the goals or the initiatives screens.
Ensure that you're planning what matters most by linking releases to the goals that they drive. By considering which goals and initiatives a release helps impact, you can identify what matters most. Having clearly defined goals helps keep the team on track and enables you to tell key stakeholders why your plan is the best strategy.
It can also be important to link features to goals so that you indicate strategic importance. This will especially help with prioritization of features.
Link your releases and features to any goal in your product hierarchy to represent how they contribute towards corporate strategy.
Note: Linked records in Aha! for Product do not inherit any links from each other. For example, linking a goal to a release will not link any features associated with that release to the goal. Read this article if you also want to link initiatives to releases, features, or other Aha! for Product records.

Q: example of how to use synonyms in nest i haven't found a solid example on how to create and use synonyms using Nest for Elasticsearch. if anyone has one it would be helpful.
my attempt looks like this, but i don't know how to apply it to a field.
var syn = new SynonymTokenFilter
{
    Synonyms = new [] { "pink, p!nk => pink", "lil, little", "ke$ha, kesha => ke$ha" },
    IgnoreCase = true,
    Tokenizer = "standard"
};

client.CreateIndex("myindex", i =>
{
    i
        .Analysis(a => a.Analyzers(an => an
            .Add("fullTermCaseInsensitive", fullTermCaseInsensitive)
            )
            .TokenFilters(x => x
                .Add("synonym", syn)
                )
            )
...

A: it's very simple :)
you will need to define first the Synonym filter the you can use it in your custom Analyzer...where you can add also other type of filters.
Small example :
        .Analysis(descriptor => descriptor
            .Analyzers(bases => bases
                .Add("folded_word", new CustomAnalyzer()
                {
                    Filter = new List<string> { "icu_folding", "trim", "synonym" },
                    Tokenizer = "standard"
                }
            )
         )
         .TokenFilters(i => i
                     .Add("synonym", new SynonymTokenFilter()
                     {
                        SynonymsPath="analysis/synonym.txt",
                        Format = "Solr"
                     }
                     )
         )

Then you can use the custom analyzer in the mapping part

A: Assuming your fullTermCaseInsensitive analyzer is custom, you need to add your synonym filter to it:
var fullTermCaseInsensitive = new CustomAnalyzer()
    {
        .
        .
        .
        Filter = new string[] { "syn" }
    };

And upon creating your index, you can add a mapping and apply the fullTermCaseInsensitive analyzer to your field(s):
client.CreateIndex("myindex", c => c
    .Analysis(a => a
        .Analyzers(an => an.Add("fullTermCaseInsensitive", fullTermCaseInsensitive))
        .TokenFilters(tf => tf.Add("syn", syn)))
    .AddMapping<MyType>(m => m
        .Properties(p => p
            .String(s => s.Name(t => t.MyField).Analyzer("fullTermCaseInsensitive")))));

Tax Morale II: Building Trust between Tax Administrations and Large BusinessesBuy this book
Annex C. Methodology
Survey of tax administration official perceptions of MNEs/large business and Big Four tax behaviour
Tax certainty survey
Embed link copied to clipboard
The results and analysis used in this report draws upon three different exercises.
The results obtained for the publication were based on a perception survey carried out by the OECD in English, French, Spanish and Arabic during the last quarter of 2019 and first quarter of 2020. The survey was disseminated among tax officials participating in OECD's Global Relations events and trainings, as well as by requesting OECD country representatives to distribute it among officials from their Administrations. Although the survey was anonymous, respondents were asked to identify their country, function / unit, years of experience, and field.
The survey aimed to capture the perceptions that tax officials have on the tax behaviour of large/multinational companies, and on the Big Four consulting firms. The 'Big Four' are the four largest consulting and auditing companies (Deloitte, KPMG, EY and PricewaterhouseCoopers).
The survey was based on responsible tax principles and voluntary codes of conduct adopted by businesses, more specifically, on the Business at OECD Statement of Tax Best Practices for Engaging with Tax Authorities in Developing Countries (Business at OECD, 2013[1]) and on the Codes of Conduct for Responsible Tax Practice, where available, from the Big Four (not all the Big Four have such codes of conduct). These principles and codes of conduct outline the standards of behaviour expected in a range of areas including compliance, communication, and transparency.
The survey was then divided into two sections, the first one concerning perceptions of MNEs/large business behaviour and the second one referring to the behaviour of Big Four firms. For the MNEs/large business, the survey addressed the following issues:
Transparency and trust
Political lobbying
Staff retention
Responsiveness to requests
Timeliness of payments
Views on voluntary principles
Commitment to cooperation
Public commitment to taxation
Behaviour compared to local business
Regarding the Big Four firms, the survey mainly focused on the following issues.
Role in recruitment
Aggressiveness/spirit of the law
Influence on client behaviour
Behaviour vis-à-vis local advisors
For further details, please see the complete survey in the following link: https://www.oecd.org/tax/tax-global/survey-business-big-four-tax-practices-engagement.pdf
The survey was answered by 1 240 officials (most of them tax auditors) working in Tax Administrations in 138 countries. The results have been grouped by regional averages; Africa (34 countries, 206 responses), Asia (31 countries, 372 responses), LAC (30 countries, 325 responses) and OECD regions (25 countries, 225 responses). The regional groups are in line with the approach taken in previous work in the OECD tax morale and tax certainty literature (see (OECD, 2019[2])). The data have been smoothed to ensure that no country is over-represented in the sample, with a maximum weighting of one country of 10% per region.
Several sensitivity exercises were undertaken to ensure the robustness of the results. For instance, age and rank were controlled for as to see if the results varied with age or position. Once these variable were controlled for, the results continued to hold.
Previous results from the tax certainty work (see (IMF/OECD, 2017[3]), (IMF/OECD, 2018[4]) and (OECD, 2019[2]), and its corresponding survey and results were also used to complement the perceptions of tax administrators. The aim of the tax certainty survey was to explore the nature of tax uncertainty, its main sources and effects on business decisions, and obtain a set of concrete and practical approaches to help policymakers and tax administrations shape a more certain tax environment.
The survey was circulated using the OECD network of government officials, tax practitioners, civil society and businesses, including the OECD's Business Industry Advisory Committee (BIAC). The survey was open between October and December 2016 and received 724 responses from firms headquartered in 62 different countries. Country-specific responses were also aggregated by region (Africa, Asia, LAC and OECD). This approach provides significantly different numbers of observations in each region, and also has significantly different numbers of observations per country, though in no region was the most frequent country chosen by respondents responsible for more than 35% of responses.
To complement the empirical results provided by both surveys, a set of virtual regional roundtables were organized between December 2020 and May 2021:
LAC Roundtable on Tax Morale (18-20 May 2021)
African Roundtable on Tax Morale (27-28 April 2021)
OECD/IOTA Roundtable on Tax Morale (20 January 2021)
Asia Roundtable on Tax Morale (7-8 December 2020)
The meetings were co-hosted by the OECD and key regional partners including the IOTA, CIAT, ATAF, the Study Group on Asian Tax Administration and Research (SGATAR) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB)
The roundtables gathered Administrations, MNEs operating in the region, tax professionals and relevant business associations. Its goal was to facilitate a dialogue between businesses and governments to discuss in more depth the findings of the surveys, focusing on identifying key issues for both MNEs and Tax Authorities, and potential tools and approaches to use going forward, all participants received a background document with a summary of results, and an initial analysis of the key findings relevant to the region, this was complemented by a presentation provided by the OECD secretariat on the survey results. The rest of the roundtables consisted of a combination of moderated panel discussions and breakout room discussions. Over 150 participants from Africa, 160 from IOTA member countries, 160 from LAC, and 130 participants from Asia attended these roundtables. With delegates from nearly 100 countries in total participating.

The DA's Western Cape chairperson Anton Bredell says the party will act on corruption allegations in the DA-led George municipality once it has established all the facts.
It's alleged that a senior DA councillor used taxpayers' money for dodgy investment schemes.
Bredell, who is the Local Government MEC in the province, says the George municipality is conducting a forensic investigation.
He says criminal charges have also been laid and the case has been referred to the Hawks.
Good party leader Patricia de Lille has called the investigation into question, alleging it's been swept under the carpet.
Meanwhile, Bredell has defended the decision for the implicated DA councillor to return to duty after a brief suspension period.
The municipality set up a forensic investigation and there was also a criminal charge laid. We await the facts and will act according to the facts.
The DA has always said that if we catch your fingers in the till, we will cut them off. But we need to be fair to people.
There's a lot of rumors, stories, backstabbing and political agendas. We cannot allow that to destroy lives. We need to work with the facts.

I have been working in Textiles since 1997 - from the time I finished a Bachelor of Arts Degree (Visual) and decided to make just one quilt.
My background - life before quilts - was in science. I am moving towards a melding of my fine art work and my textile work. I am interested in the way pattern comes into many parts of our lives and often include some geometrical piecing in my work as I think it keeps me technically on my toes and provides a key for traditional quilters to link to my work.
I have four children and a very supportive husband who worked as a diplomat for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. While following him I lived a total of fifteen years in Arab and Islamic countries. This might seem irrelevant to quilting, but has influenced my subject matter and much of my work reflects my love of the Middle East. I have lived in Syria, Western Samoa, Malaysia, Jordan, Jerusalem and Egypt.
I teach and really enjoy it. There is no greater delight than to offer tools to a quilter who wants to make original work but doesn't know how to access her own ideas.
For more details about my background and experience in quilting, see my CV (PDF).


Jasper wrote: Yep, plastic bags in the ocean killing wildlife is totes cool as long as you're not directly responsible.
Unless it can be proved beyond a reasonable doubt that your plastic bag wound up inside a whale I don't see why you should care. Just accept that democracy and/or the free market will decide the optimal number of plastic bags that wind up in wildlife, and neither is to be second guessed.
I've said it before when he was on Slate, Isaac Chotiner is an amazing interviewer. He gives his subjects enough rope to hang themselves and doesn't ask showy questions.
BEE: Did she say that? That she didn't know she was black?
IC: You say it in the book.
BEE: Yeah, right, I quoted her.
I think there is some value in determining if there's any chance that one's plastic bag will end up in any whale or other wildlife to determine whether your plastic baggery should be forcibly curtailed. A federal system can have states determine whether there's externality from plastic bags that requires interference. MO and CO are probably pretty safe so long as trash isn't hauled to coastal areas. California or Florida might need to take a much harder look at the environmental consequences of large scale plastic-film sack use.
So that dude in American Beauty was apparently just filming an environmental catastrophe?
Did someone say it was totes cool, or just that none of us have any say about how Asian countries dispose of plastic waste?
Mo wrote: I've said it before when he was on Slate, Isaac Chotiner is an amazing interviewer. He gives his subjects enough rope to hang themselves and doesn't ask showy questions.
There's plenty of stuff that could have been said there. BEE didn't say it.
IC: Well, you said it—of course you agree.
How dare BEE not be outraged about the things the interviewer is outraged about!
YMMV of course but that's not how I read it. BEE seemed to spend the entire interview being like, "Politics are dumb! Why does everyone keep asking me about politics?" and IC is like, "Because you just wrote an entire book about politics, you enormous walnut"
Yeah no. If you throw your plastic bag in the trash in the good ole USofA it winds up in a landfill where it does no harm. Some tiny fraction of plastic bags used in coastal regions might escape the trash and some even tinier fraction of bags thrown in the trash might escape the landfill. None of the bags I have ever or will ever bring my groceries home in wind up in the ocean. Zero. Whales are not choking on US waste.
That was a really good article. I'd love to see more discussion like that.

Q: How to read attribute "name" of my json array in Ionic json array localstorage format
Hello, I'm developing an ionic app. I'm new in Ionic and Typescript.
As you can see in the image below I'm parsing from an API my data in a json array.
On ts file I'm writing this code
`
public categoryDetails:any;
const datacat = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem('categoryData'));
    this.categoryDetails = datacat.categoryData;`
And in my html file when I write this

Business of the category {{categoryDetails.name}}

I get the error message "TypeError: Cannot read property 'name' of undefined"
I know that I don't read the attribute "name" correctly. How can I do this one?
Moreover, how can I display Businesses which associate with the spesific term_id of the category?

A: In this example you need to do that

Business of the category {{categoryDetails?.name}}

public categoryDetails: any;

this.categoryDetails = localStorage.getItem('categoryData');

or you can use ionic storage. it is better if you are using ionic.
https://ionicframework.com/docs/storage/
import { Storage } from '@ionic/storage';

export class MyApp {
public categoryDetails: any;
  constructor(private storage: Storage) { }

  ...

  // set a key/value
  storage.set('categoryData', 'Max');

  // Or to get a key/value pair
  storage.get('categoryData').then((val) => {
    this.categoryDetails = val;
  });
}

A: I finally fingured it out.
@Kilomat thanks for your help and your advice about using ionic storage. That saved me from futured problems.
About my json file that's what I did.
In my HTML code
<ion-grid no-margin>

Επιχειρήσεις της κατηγορίας {{businessData.name}} {{businessData.term_id}}

    <ion-list>
    <ion-item class="col col-50" *ngFor="let c of BusinessCategoryDetails" text-wrap (click)="product(c)">

{{c.post_title}} {{c.term_id}}

    </ion-item>
    </ion-list>
  </ion-grid>
And in my TS code
`var businessCategory: categories = navParams.get("businessCategory");
    console.log(businessCategory); /exports the Selected category/
var newData = JSON.stringify(businessCategory);
this.businessData = JSON.parse(newData);`

Which takes properties and values from my previous category page. TS code
`categories: [categoryDetails] = null;
gotobusiness(category: categories){
    this.navCtrl.push(BusinessPage, { businessCategory: category});
  }`


I've posted some pretty amazing fingernail art in the past, but I think this is the first time I have ever come across any Star Wars themed manicures. Apparently Sylvia VonDeck is a huge R2-D2 fan so she decided to paint her fingernails to look like a bunch of R2-D2s. I'm really not one for the painting of ones fingernails, but this is pretty cool! These are definitely the droids I have been looking for!

Cutting-edge training planned for 900 health-care workers
By Andrew Stuart Published On July 8, 2015
We recently reported on the difficulties aged care faces in Australia, with the Community Services and Health Industry Skills Council changing the minimum work placement requirements around both Certificate III and Certificate IV training.
This is part of a wider plan to handle a population that continues to age and increase in size. According to the latest Australian Bureau of Statistics data, the Australian population grows by one birth every one minute and 44 seconds. With a death occurring every three minutes and 27 seconds, it is close to a 2:1 birth/death ratio.
Health care is one of the first to feel the strain of an understaffed and underdeveloped workforce, and palliative care is expected to be overburdened in the near future. To balance a high demand for care in this area, 900 rural and regional health, aged and community care workers will receive training nationwide through a new selection of RTO programs.
Reported this month by Australian Ageing Agenda (AAA), these health-care professionals are in line to receive cutting-edge training, developed in support of the psychological needs of people in their care, as well as families and the caregivers themselves.
The program will focus on terminally ill patients, after being developed and delivered by RTO and aged-care provider integratedliving Australia. The organisation recently received $3.3 million in Commonwealth funding for the development of its three-part program titled Listen, Acknowledge, Respond.
Using $1.8 million of this, integratedliving Australia will create a series of five workshops and roll these out to around 900 health-care professionals in every state. To do this, they'll rely on a network of qualified people in health care training jobs until the program concludes in June 2017.
The RTO's manager Dianne Potter said the program will take a fresh look at palliative care.
"There is already a lot of work around palliative care, and we recognise that, but this program is a totally new way of looking at it," she explained to AAA. "The training is … for those people at a higher level that we need to target to ensure that they recognise this is a new way of dealing with it so they will refer people."
"The research will be looking at the social benefits to the patient but also the actual benefit to carers and care givers and also the families of the carers.
As part of the program, instructional design writers will be hired to develop the new learning materials for Certificate IV qualifications, which will also be used in a graduate certificate program at Charles Sturt University in New South Wales.
Once the material is developed, it has the potential to reach wider audiences as it's digitalised and published online, further helping to prepare for the hurdles that lie further down the track in Australian health care.
Edutemps, a recruitment agency for the training sector is playing its part by providing trainers to implement Aged Care programs currently being run in NSW.

Step 3: Seek Other Resources
Step 4: Income Generation Options
UC Financiamiento y Fondos (3 Pasos)
Step 1: Apply for AB540 Status
Apply for AB540 Classification (undergraduate students only)
Under California law AB 540, certain undocumented students may receive a waiver to avoid paying out-of-state fees.
So, if you are granted AB 540 classification, you will only pay the in-state tuition and fees, and not the supplemental tuition, about $30,000, charged to non-state residents.
One additional benefit of the AB540 classification includes eligibility for state and university financial aid, which is otherwise not available to undocumented students.
Are you eligible for AB540 classification?
Undocumented must meet all three requirements below to be eligible:
Time and coursework requirement
Either:
Attendance for three full-time years or the equivalent at any combination of the following:
California high school
California adult school (including non-credit courses offered by a California community college)
California community college (maximum of two years of credit-bearing courses can count toward this requirement)
Three years of California high school coursework and three years of total attendance at a California elementary school, California secondary school, or any combination of the two.
Degree or unit requirement
Meet one of the following requirements:
Graduation from a California high school (or attainment of the equivalent)
Attainment of an associate's degree from a California community college
Fulfillment of the minimum transfer requirements from a California community college to a UC or CSU campus
Sign Nonresident Exemption Request
Submit a signed California Nonresident Exemption Request (AB540 application), which states that you meet all the requirements to qualify for AB 540 status and whether you are undocumented, are in the process of adjusting your immigration status, or will do so as soon as you are eligible.
Who's not eligible for AB540:
Students in possession of nonimmigrant visas (including, but not limited to any of the following visas: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T*, TN/TD, TWOV, U*, and NATO) are not eligible for AB540.
*Exceptions for holders of T and U visas:
UC policy permits T and U visa holders with approved I-485 applications who meet the requirements described above to be exempt from nonresident supplemental tuition until they are eligible to establish California residency according to UC policy.
DACA recipients who do not meet the AB 540 tuition requirements, listed above, will not be eligible for the exemption.
Steps to apply for AB540 classification
After you have accepted an offer of admission to a UC campus, submit your Statement of Legal Residence to the campus residence deputy.
If you then receive a nonresident classification, the campus residence deputy will ask you to complete the California Nonresident Tuition Exemption Request (AB540 Application) to determine your eligibility for AB 540 classification. Be prepared to prove that you meet the eligibility requirements discussed above.
Once the residency deputy grants you AB540 classification, you will not need to reapply as long as your visa or immigration status does not change, and you are continuously enrolled in the program to which you have been admitted at a UC campus.
Where do I submit my Statement of Legal Residence and my AB 540 application?
You have three options.
Email: residencedeputy@ucsd.edu
UCSD Office of the Registrar
Attn: Residence Deputy
9500 Gilman Dr., MC 0022
La Jolla, CA 92093-0022
Note! Transfer students who had AB540 classification at their community college must reapply for the classification once accepted to a UC campus. AB540 classification is not transferable from one institution to another. In the same manner, students who are enrolled at a UC campus and take classes at a community college during the summer must apply for AB540 classification with that community college to avoid paying out-of-state fees.
AB540 is huge!
AB540 classification not only waives the out-of-state fees for undocumented students, it also makes you eligible to request financial aid.
Undocumented students with AB 540 classification may receive state and UC financial aid through the CA Dream Act Financial Aid application. Without AB540 classification, undocumented students can't receive financial aid from the state or the university.
Go on to the next section to learn about the CA Dream Act Financial Aid.
Questions? Not sure if you are eligible for AB540? Message our Residency Deputy for help.

The Chinese Community in Zambia has come to the aid of Racecourse Community School in Twatasha Township, Kitwe, with the provision of school desks.
Kitwe District Commissioner Binwell Mpundu early in March this year visited the school where he learnt that the school had a population of over 1,000 pupils against 16 desks and promised to lobby desks from the corporate world.
Mpundu has since lured Chinese Investors who have since donated 85 desks valued at K 40,000 to help improve learning standards for the school that caters for grade 1-9.
Speaking during the donation, Chinese Community in Zambia Vice Chairman Xin Wang said the donations came after learning that pupils were attending lessons while on the floor.
Wang said the gesture is of good will to support the growth of education standards in Zambia through the provision of supporting materials.
And school Head Teacher Moses Siwale has thanked the Chinese Community for the gesture further stating that the school population has reduced to 1080 against 10 desks.
He said the school has so far been receiving support from government after taking over which has also led to the construction of a School wall fence to address encroachments on its land.
Meanwhile, District Commissioner Binwell Mpundu said government will continue to invest in education.
He said his office will continue to lobby from the corporate world to ensure education standards are improved to motivate learners.
This is good but the the government should also come in and see how best they can make the learning environment conducive for our children there…….
There's joy in giving than in receiving.
This could be the correct price. Steel has become expensive of late and wood is also expensive. And there are labor costs involved.
According toBinwell govt has been supportin the school,in which areas?They ar failin to employ enaf teachers,2000out of a backlog of 30000.pupil teacher ratio is alarming in public schools.We are prodcing junk graduates.
Very stupid, 40,000 kupasa ma foreigners,do you think that in Zambia we don't have the carpenters ? Friendship between Zambia and Chinese is not fair, nama desks sure nima Chinese, any way let me shut up my mouth.
I understand the Chinese spent that much to have the desks made.
Price please, and that's our mukwa logs used,hop those desks comes with a teacher and classroom, 2009 out of 30000.
Read the story before commenting, the desks were bought by the Chinese community and not grz. Stop exposing your basic lack of understanding of simple issues. This is grade one stuff, please read first. Most of the comments above are irrelevant to the story at hand. Shame!

Offering != Distribution
By Donna Wentworth
Judge Marilyn Patel issued a ruling (PDF) Wednesday that settles an important question in the ongoing Napster (yes, Napster) case -- whether under the law, simply offering copyrighted material to others (say, by listing it in an index) means you're distributing it.
The record label lawyers, as Ernie Miller so delicately puts it, "were bloody idiots because they didn't nail down evidence of direct infringement before launching the Napster lawsuit." They have therefore been working hard at making the Artists' Rights and Theft Prevention Act of 2005 (ART Act) work for them, hoping Judge Patel would adopt a new, broader standard for the right of distribution based on one of its provisions. If Judge Patel found Napster liable for direct infringement on the theory of making-available-as-distributing, the labels could press forward against Napster's investors on that basis. No such luck.
Rather than requiring proof of the actual dissemination of a copyrighted work or an offer to distribute that work for the purpose of its further distribution or public performance, plaintiffs' theory is premised on the assumption that any offer to distribute a copyrighted work violates section 106(3). This is not sufficient to satisfy plaintiffs' burden of proving that Napster or its users directly infringed their copyrighted musical compositions and sound recordings, as they must do if they are to hold defendants secondarily liable for that infringement. Accordingly, the court holds that defendants are entitled to summary judgment on this issue.
In other words, copyright holders have to prove that someone actually downloaded the file from you before you can be found liable for distributing. The simple act of offering isn't enough.
Accordingly, the court holds that defendants are entitled to summary judgment on this issue.
In the context of the case, this is a minor victory -- Judge Patel did not dismiss the other theories for direct infringement, so the case will continue against Napster's investors on those grounds. But it does clarify the law, providing a safeguard against the over-reach that the ART Act threatened.
For a much more detailed look at the ruling, check out Ernie Miller's post, Judge Patel Dismisses One Direct Infringement Theory, But Napster Investment Case Continues .

Coronavirus: UK expected to approve Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine this week, acquires 2mln extra doses of Moderna jab
London is speeding up the processes to distribute the jabs, including bypassing EU authorities to issue an emergency authorisation
The UK is expected to authorise the COVID-19 vaccine candidate developed by Pfizer Inc. (NYSE:PFE) and BioNTech this week.
Deliveries would begin within hours from the approval, with the first injections starting as early as December 7, the Financial Times reported.
Normally, the UK is subject to the decisions of the European Medicines Agency until Brexit takes place, however the country's Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency can issue emergency approvals.
London has already booked 40mln doses of the jab, which was the first to announce the results of late-stage studies, with 95% efficacy proven.
Plumping the stock
On Sunday, the Department of Health and Social Care announced it has acquired another 2mln doses of the inoculation developed by Moderna Inc. (NASDAQ:MRNA), which also showed 95% efficacy in the final phase of clinical trials.
The UK now has secured 7mln doses of the vaccine, which is expected to be available in Europe in spring 2021, and now has a total of 357mln doses of vaccines from seven different developers.
They include 100mln of the Oxford jab produced by AstraZeneca PLC (LON:AZN), 60mln of the two jabs developed by Novavax, Valneva and Sanofi/GlaxoSmithKline PLC (LON:GSK) and 30mln for Johnson & Johnson's (NYSE:JNJ).
Westminster also appointed Nadhim Zahawi, a junior minister for Business and Industry, as the person responsible for the rollout.

The Davis College Falcons hosted The King's College Lions on Saturday and ran away with a 123-66 conference victory.
The win marked a record breaking performance for the Falcons as they set a program record for most points scored in a game with 123 on the day. The previous high was back on February 20, 2014 when they scored 121 points against New England Baptist College. The Falcons also poured in a program record 46 field goals while shooting 46.5% from the floor. Finishing the regular season at 18-6 with a .750 win percentage is also new milestone for the Falcons.
Saturday was also Senior Day and it was only fitting that the trio of seniors all had big games. Tim Swan (Binghamton, NY) got things started with a corner three on the first possession and fellow senior Ernestas Puzaras (Kaunas, Lithuania) kept it going with a couple triples of his own in the first half. The two players combined for 6 first half threes and their offensive efforts would help the Falcons open up a 38 point halftime lead with a 66-28. In the second half, senior Titus Geday (Toronto, Canada) got hot scoring 16 of his 18 points on numerous drives to the basket. Swan would finish with a career high 20 points on 4 made threes and grabbing 7 rebounds and Puzaras would total 5 threes and dish out 7 assists on his way to 21 points.
In all, 4 Falcons would score over 20 points, another first for the Falcons program, as Jackson Henri (Miami, FL) put in a team-high 22 points and 16 rebounds in only 17 minutes and Kelvin Tompkins (South Miami, FL) would add 21 points and 5 steals. On the day, the Falcons had season highs in both assists (28) and steals (24). For King's, Justin Cox led the way with 25 points on 4 threes and teammate Jordan Bishop added 23 points in the loss.
The performance puts the Falcons at 5-2 in conference play and locked them in as the number 3 seed in the upcoming Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Championship this weekend. This will be the first season the Falcons have secured a playoff spot since joining the conference in the 2015-2016 season. They will take on the number 2 seed and tournament host, The College of New Rochelle, at 7:00 p.m. The two teams matched up on January 18 with New Rochelle winning a close one by the score of 92-85.

Before I began this trip, I thought life on the road would be peaceful. Ha Ha. Have you ever ridden long-distance in an RV? It sounds like this: CLANG, BANG, SNAP, CLANGETY, CLANG, BANG BOOM. Only louder.
I live in Atlanta so I have a high tolerance for road work, but dang, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma have problems of their own. By the time we limp into our campsites each night, I have a splitting headache. I think JD does too, but I can't really hear him.
Our RV is taking a beating in more ways than one.
First of all, BC ate the interior.
Evidently, he was hungry because he also ate doughnuts off the table, our garbage and the screen. I sighed and kept on trucking. It's nothing that can't be fixed.
My cabinets have also taken a beating and my counter-tops have peeled in places. Our curtain rods have bent and warped, and everything is dirty. When JD pointed out the latest scuff mark, I just sighed and kept on trucking. It's nothing that can't be redone.
In addition to things getting banged up, we've lost a few things. So far we've managed to leave a gas cap behind, leave the bathroom vent open so that the plastic cover could go free somewhere between Reno and Las Vegas, and lose the part of the stinky slinky that actually allows you to dump said stinky. Can you HEAR ME SIGHING? LET'S KEEP TRUCKING. IT'S NOTHING THAT CAN'T BE REBOUGHT.
The outside has probably taken as much or more of a beating but since it looked so bad to begin with, it's hard to tell. We did manage to pick up a bumper sticker. We've seen literally hundreds. Did we get a cool one of Yellowstone or maybe the Grand Canyon? Uh, no. JD picked up one from a restaurant in Whidbey Island.
I guess, in reality, it goes perfectly with the RV.
Not to say that we're not having fun.
We are seeing lots of great things, like this meteor crater. I think it says a lot about us that not one of us jumped.


We provide unique water and rock based adventure activities. All of our instructors hold national governing body awards and are experienced in the activities that they run. Whether it is a family day out, team building or just some fun with friends that you are after, we can tailor a course to suit your needs. Our expertise lies in providing you with a fun, adventurous and safe day out.


Gary Fehnel of Palmer Township takes a breather under the late afternoon sun after bumping along on his tractor over the sleepy stubble in a Tatamy Road field. His job yesterday was spreading manure. He knows it's only one more month until spring.

What makes a Sukkot to remember? First, you need to build a sukkah—somewhere to celebrate. Then you need to plan for lots of good food—from noodle kugel to matzah balls to mandel bread.

With so many unexpected things happening, this will definitely be a sukkot to remember for a long time!
Told from the perspective of the family's youngest member, Sukkah-Doodle-Doo! is all about the magic of being in the moment when a special time of year rolls around.

Q: How to zoom a pdf with centering? I am using Document Viewer 3.10.3 in Ubuntu 14.04
I want to zoom a pdf and print it to a file (another pdf). I am able to zoom it but the issue I am facing is this :
the pdf is getting zoomed towards right and bottom... but I want to zoom the page equally on all the four sides. (Basically it is not centering)
Just to make my point more clear I have attatched the following images
Input

Undesired Output

If Document Viewer with its print options cant do this job then kindly suggest which other tool can serve the purpose. Thanks in advance.

A: If you simply want to crop every page of a pdf, then I suggest Briss. It can not only crop a pdf but also produce more pages from a single page.
It is a simple yet effective pdf cropper.
To install,

*

*download the briss-0.9.tar.gz file,

*Unzip it somewhere of your choice,

*Create a script (I named it briss.sh) with the following content:
cd /path/to/briss/folder/briss
java -Xmx256m -Djava.library.path=. -jar briss-0.9.jar

Make it executable (right-click on nautilus, permissions).

*

*Create a briss.desktop launcher in /home/username/.local/share/applications:
#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open

[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Exec=/path/to/briss/folder/briss.sh

CFA Society India hosted its 5th virtual India Wealth Management Conference
By India Education Diary Bureau Admin	 On Sep 2, 2020
Mumbai: CFA Society India, in collaboration with CFA Institute, the global association of investment professionals, hosted its 5th virtual India Wealth Management Conference from 27-29 August. This year, the conference brought together global and Indian experts to share insights and guide practitioners on 'Wealth Management in a Post-COVID world'.
"The COVID-19 pandemic has had serious and sudden repercussions on businesses, economies and lives of people across the globe. Events like these are a reminder that we are in a world of radical uncertainty, and a world moving faster than usual. As wealth managers, when you are in a world with such uncertainty, how do you handle the tail risk – of impact on portfolios, of events which have a low probability of happening, but have huge consequences on the portfolio. Another challenge faced by the wealth managers is separating signals from noise, as information now moves at the speed of light", said Navneet Munot, CFA, Chairman, CFA Society India and CIO, SBI Funds Management Pvt Ltd.
The conference brought together many leading local and global investment management practitioners, experts, and economists to discuss the latest trends in the global investment management industry. The 5th edition of India Wealth Management conference included sessions on changing wealth management canvas, the impact of COVID-19 crash, challenges for wealth practitioners, radical uncertainty in wealth management and so on.
In his 'Keynote talk on the changing Wealth Management Canvas in India' Amitabh Chaudhary, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Axis Bank believes that with 20 vaccines in the works, there's a sense that the COVID-19 pandemic might be almost behind us. There's a sense of positivity or at least less negativity, which will boost the economy. He advised those planning retirement and banking on fixed deposits for a regular income to save more, as with a system that is flushed with liquidity, one might not earn the kind of returns that one was expecting. He suggested industry to develop a financial ecosystem as like the ones in China, which can effectively attack/capture the tail, and believe that it might create the Ecosystem which was missing till now in India. He observed that future generation would have a great amount of information on their fingertips and technology would fundamentally change how the investment services work currently.
Rob Arnott, Partner, Chairman of the Board of Research Affiliates shared his insights about the long-term implications of COVID-19, in his session titled 'The Impact of the COVID – 19 Crash on Investors'. He observed that the resilience of the developing markets is impressive when you compare it to the developed world. Hence the impact of bailouts is likely to be staggering and when you engage in fiscal and monetary stimulus, it can cushion the economic shock on a short-term basis. Speaking about India he mentioned that just because India is going to have 4-5% real GDP growth in the next few years, don't expect 4-5% in stock markets. He believes, competitor startups will grow fast too, in an entrepreneurial hotbed like India.

Margaret Franklin, CFA, President and CEO, CFA Institute, in the session 'Opportunities & Challenges for Wealth Practitioners in a Post-COVID world' shared her views on how post-COVID is going to be a rich period of creativity for the investment industry. She believes that on a global scale, those who don't use technology innovatively, those whose cost structure doesn't show value, and those who can't scale are going to have a hard time. She believes that Innovation, AI and Analytics will drive decision making in future, as technology is getting better, and it will help create more customised applications which will make portfolios client friendly. She also believes that a way forward for the industry is to increase team diversity. The reason for this is as most Wealth Management teams are homogeneous – which creates problems when they deal with diverse clients if they're untrained. Speaking on regulatory response, she said that all governments have rather opened the spigots. It will be interesting to see the results and how well-trained wealth managers will ethically work in the new reality.
Sharing her views in the session 'Opportunities & Challenges for Wealth Practitioners in a Post-COVID world', Soumya Rajan, Founder and CEO, Waterfield Advisors said that margins in the wealth management space in India are tight, because of regulatory pressures and otherwise. For smaller companies, this could be difficult, which may result in consolidation in the industry. However, she believes that it's an extremely exciting time for India as people are moving into liquid wealth and so wealth practitioners have good scope for growth themselves and their clients. She observes that clients and employees will probably also have a lot more choice, and so may not be as loyal to the firm.
Nathan Sheets, Chief Economist and Head of Global Macroeconomic Research, PGIM Fixed Income spoke about tectonic changes in productivity and efficiency due to the pandemic in his session on 'Key Themes that will Frame the Post – Virus Economy'. He was optimistic that the post-COVID era will be a period of challenges, but also opportunities. He believes that it's likely going to be a period of low growth, low inflation and low rates, much like after the '08 crisis. But he also thinks that this pandemic will trigger a highly volatile political environment. He stated that anything associated with technology is likely to be a winner. Technology was important before COVID-19, but we now see the capacity it has to transform the way we come together. He also shared his insight on witnessing a shift from brick-and-mortar to e-commerce.
Michele Wucker, Founder & CEO at Gray Rhino & Company in her session on 'Gray Rhino lessons for the Wealth practitioner' mentioned that in India, the big upcoming gray rhinos are probably water, corruption, infrastructure and adaptability. Worldwide, the biggest gray rhino is failing to recognise these gray rhinos. Demystifying 'gray rhino', she said it is a looming risk that we don't pay attention to and is more active than an elephant in the room and hard to plan for even though it's so obvious. She believes in each Gray Rhino crisis, there lies an opportunity… and vice-versa too. She is fairly worried about the risk that when we in the financial industry are addressing one gray rhino, we may create the next."
Speaking on the success of the 5th virtual India Wealth Management Conference, Vidhu Shekar, CFA, CIPM, Country Head, India, CFA Institute said, "We are delighted with the positive response from people joining the sessions from all over the world. This is the 5th year of the Wealth Management Conference and it was virtual due to the current situation everyone has been facing globally. It is very important for all our members to re-invent themselves and we could not imagine a bigger change right now. We had organised this virtual conference so that everyone can take something from it as practitioners and wealth managers. This conference has helped us to shed some light that we can bring in our industry and profession as wealth practitioners."
The three day-long 5th virtual India Wealth Management Conference had stellar line-up of global and Indian speakers including Amitabh Chaudhary, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Axis Bank, Rob Arnott, Partner, Chairman of the Board of Research Affiliates, Soumya Rajan, Founder and CEO, Waterfield Advisors, John Kay, Economist and Author, Rajesh Gupta, Managing Partner at SNG & Partners and Michele Wucker, Founder & CEO at Gray Rhino & Company among others.

Every person on the planet is born with an internal multidimensional template, which is designed to evolve the individual into a state of mastery and super consciousness. However, through the many trials and challenges of life, these templates are often stifled, damaged or completely shut-down. This unfortunately keeps the individual at a stationary 'plateaued' level of awareness; leaving one without much psychic/intuitive insight, manifestation power, spiritual connection or creative momentum. Join Bryan and the Ashtar Command as they detail and activate within you the new etheric integrational template insert, which will create forward movement within your soul matrix, bring a new infusion of light & energy into your mind and clear the effects of a 'plateaued' consciousness. In addition, we will be sending healing energy and light around the planet to humanity and all life streams living here. Earthstar the Integrational Template ~ Follow along webpage!
