Despite earlier apprehensions about the difference of opinion on how to handle the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market, G20 countries have agreed to take the first unified step toward regulating crypto-assets by July 2018. A gathering of the finance ministers & governors of central banks is already becoming a cause for concern for some members of the crypto-community.
The ministers and governors offered different suggestions to regulate crypto-assets. They are determined to ensure the proposed regulations become effective from July 2018. Argentina's Central Bank Chairperson, Frederico Sturzenegger, said that the committee will first evaluate cryptocurrencies, by gathering more information, before they impose regulations.
It will not be easy for the G20 committee to regulate crypto-assets without having all the information they need. Sturzenegger pointed out that in July the committee would come up with specific recommendations on the data they would need and not what they would want to regulate.
China's Clear Stance to Regulate Crypto-Assets
As seen in the past, China did not hold any secrets about what it wanted to do to regulate crypto-assets. The country does not just want to impose the rules, but also wants to create stricter laws for governing cryptocurrencies.
Some of the problems highlighted by the Chinese delegation about cryptocurrencies include money laundering, illicit trade, and terrorism financing. The delegation also expressed concerns about the power of cryptocurrencies to impact its macroeconomic policies, which could have detrimental effects on its overall economy. Even though the combined market capitalization of all cryptocurrency platforms is currently less than 1 percent of the entire world's GDP, the Chinese believe that digital currencies could have widespread social implications.
Differences Still Exist Between G20 Members on Regulating Crypto-Assets
There are still differences about how to regulate cryptocurrencies between the G20 countries. Notably, the president of Brazil's central bank made it clear that his country will not regulate cryptocurrencies. He also added that Brazil may not follow the regulatory decisions taken by G20 in this regard.
The G20 committee is applying the standards of FATF (Financial Action Task Force). The committee wants FATF to review the standards and advance the global implementation. The committee also called upon international standard-setting bodies for monitoring crypto-assets and risks associated with them, as per the given mandates.
Baby Steps by G20 to Regulate Crypto-Assets
Since there is not a lot of agreement among the G20 members on how to regulate the cryptocurrency space, the latest session only accounts for baby steps. The G20 members still need more data & information to again sit down in July and start discussing the next steps to take to regulate crypto-assets.
Countries like Brazil are already not agreeing with regulation of cryptocurrencies. Despite these differences, there is also an agreement & acknowledgement by G20 members of the technological innovation in crypto-assets which could potentially have positive effects on economies and the existing financial system.

Aston Martin
The AM-RB 001 shares a lead designer with the Red Bull Racing F1 car in the background—Adrian Newey.
Aston Martin
The AM-RB 001 shares a lead designer with the Red Bull Racing F1 car in the background—Adrian Newey.
Aston Martin
But unlike Newey's F1 creations, the Am-RB 001 is a road car. It will make plenty of aerodynamic downforce, but mainly via the clever underbody shape—no giant wings here.
Aston Martin
The AM-RB 001 was revealed to the public on Tuesday, July 5. The car is far from finalized though—we have to wait until next year to see the interior.
Aston Martin
The engine will be a bespoke V12, naturally aspirated and high revving. There's no hybrid system and don't expect a heavy double-clutch gearbox either.
Aston Martin
With a power-to-weight ratio of 1hp/kg, expect the AM-RB 001 to be extremely fast.
Seemingly, there comes a time in every great Formula 1 car designer's life when he (and sadly they are almost always a he) gets a little bored of the straightjacket of rules that bind creativity. Inevitably, thoughts soon turn to applying some of that race-bred knowledge to "the ultimate road car," sometimes to extremely good effect. Gordon Murray and the McLaren F1 is the best-known example, although Ferrari's F50 deserves a mention, too. Its V12 is based on an actual Formula 1 engine, and that engine is fully stressed (i.e. rigidly mounted to the carbon fiber tub, with the suspension attached to it). Now Adrian Newey and Red Bull Racing—along with Aston Martin—want to join this club with the AM-RB 001.
Now, Aston Martin is a company that is no stranger to the hypercar, having built the One-77 and more recently the Vulcan. But that car is not street legal. Its racing experience comes from competing against versions of the company's production cars at Le Mans and elsewhere. The AM-RB 001 on the other hand was born in more rarefied air, which is where Newey and Red Bull enter the picture.
Newey is probably the most successful engineer working in Formula 1 right now. His designs have won 10 World Drivers Championships and 10 World Constructors Championships since 1991 (first at Williams, then McLaren, and with Red Bull Racing since 2006). But Formula 1 recently got a bit boring for Newey. Fears that he would leave (possibly for the challenge of working at Ferrari) earned him a pair of golden handcuffs from the team, with an expanded portfolio (Red Bull Advanced Technologies) giving him some creative freedom outside the sport.
This is where the AM-RB 001 comes in. The car revealed to the public on Tuesday is still very much a work in progress—we won't see the interior until some time next year—but there are some details worth noting. Although Newey's experience comes from Formula 1, don't expect the AM-RB 001 to resemble the Red Bull RB12 race car with number plates and headlights. The AM-RB 001 makes plenty of downforce, but that's generated by the body—specifically the shape of the car's underbody—so there are no massive wings.
There's no hybrid system, either. It will be powered by a bespoke naturally aspirated V12 (so should sound amazing), and the car will have one horsepower for every kilogram of weight. There are two seats, and the AM-RB 001 will be completely road legal. Theoretically this vehicle won't be terrifying to drive down to the shops, although we're told the (inevitable) track-only version will be capable of lapping the UK's Silverstone circuit as fast as one of the 1000hp hybrid Le Mans prototypes.
"I've always been adamant that the AM-RB 001 should be a true road car that's also capable of extreme performance on track, and this means it really has to be a car of two characters," Newey said. "That's the secret we're trying to put into this car—the technology that allows it to be docile and comfortable, but with immense outright capabilities."
In the same way that Peter Stevens worked with Gordon Murray to style the F1, Aston Martin's design chief, Marek Reichman, is working with Newey on the styling of the AM-RB 001. "The shared challenge has been finding that magical tipping point where we achieve the most efficient engineering solutions and the most beautiful styling solutions without any compromises," Reichman said. "My personal challenge has been expressing the AM-RB 001's extraordinary performance and the unique way in which it delivers that performance. Its style reflects its revolutionary nature, while possessing the form and beauty that makes it unmistakably an Aston Martin."
The plan was originally to build 99 AM-RB 001 road cars—between £2 and £3 million ($2.6 and $3.9 million) a pop—as well as 25 track specials. But according to Aston Martin CEO Dr Andy Palmer, at least 370 customers have shown interest to date. While Aston Martin and Red Bull won't build nearly that many, Martin told Autocar that a production run of 150 road cars may happen, with deliveries beginning in 2018.

As you're likely already aware, the teaser trailer for Quentin Tarantino's ninth movie, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, dropped this morning. Given that this is a truly star-studded cast that will help weave a Pulp Fiction-esque tapestry of the 1969 events leading up to the infamous Charles Manson murders, it's only natural that most folks are zeroing in on the biggest names, including Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Margot Robbie, who all feature prominently in the revealed footage. Al Pacino, Timothy Olyphant, and Scoot McNairy are also in this presumed epic, and the movie will see Luke Perry's final appearance on the silver screen. However, we really shouldn't neglect a very brief flash of Damon Herriman, the film's madman Manson who also brought us Justified's beloved Dewey Crowe, nestled between title cards toward the end.
Dewey f*cking Crowe, man. It must be mentioned that while multiple other actors, including Matt Smith and Ben Mellish, are playing Manson in projects timed for the 50th anniversary of the Tate murders, only Damon Herriman is doing this twice. That's right, he's doing two versions — a late '60s take for Tarantino and an '80s arc for David Fincher's Mindhunter — and that's reason for intense excitement. Indeed, there are many enthused shouts for the charisma-loaded Herriman surfacing on social media.
Herriman's an Aussie who could roll among the best Appalachian accents on FX's very much missed Olyphant-starring series, and one can expect his performance as Manson to be both unprecedented and strong. We'll find out if he delivers (Justified reunion!) when Tarantino's latest arrives on July 26.

The IBKUL shirts are the most comfortable option for hot weather. I have 4 shirts and use mine for golf. Nothing compares. The fabric is so light and breathable. The fit is also perfect (I am an XS…normally wear a Size 0.)
Tutti Print Sleeveless Zip Mock - 88517
I normally prefer a solid top but this fun print caught my eye and goes with so many of my golf skorts. Light and breathable too!
Customer Reviews
The best fabric for hot weather...ever! Cool and comfortable with stylish prints as a bonus. Delivery was fast and fit was true to basic sizing.

Cat Cay Print Sleeveless Polo Dress - 50518
I wore the dress for the first time today. It was a very warm day - probably low 90s and humid. And this dress performed well. I went up one size - so it is nice and loose and flowy. Looks beautiful and kept me cool - that is all that matters. It doesn't come with under shorts, but I think that it should. I wore a pair that I got from another dress made by another company. That is my only complaint.
Itt is the perfect little dress. So light weight. Fits exactly as a size medium should.
Fabulous dresses!
I have several other ibkul dresses, all size medium so I ordered this in a medium. It runs bigger than their other dresses and I would recommend ordering one size down. Otherwise, it's very cute.
Customer Reviews
I bought this dress in our club's shop. I would have never ordered this pattern/color online, but in person the blues are so bold it is beautiful! Sleeves are perfectly complimentary, swing skirt is an awesome feature! Dress fits wonderfully & is so flattering in all ways! I will wear this dress on the course & off! Fabric is awesome! Was perfect length for me as it fell above my knee. No built in shorts but I did not mind that too much. I think skirt flows better without anything being attached to it! Looking to buy more in this exact style if I can find my size & color/print I like.
I feel like this was designed more for an everyday dress, not golf, because it's so long. It's cute and comfortable and I love the cap sleever.
Customer Reviews
My girlfriend had purchased an IBKUL dress and I saw it when we played golf. I told her I had to get one of those dresses so she hooked me up with the website and the rest is history. These dresses are by far the most comfortable and great looking dresses around right now! I don't just wear this golfing, I wear these anywhere. You can dress them up for work or dress them down for a walk around town. I live where it gets up to 110 in the summer and these are my go to clothing for those hot days. I'm a "bigger" woman, size 14, and these dresses make me look slim and wonderful. I couldn't be happier. I will be ordering more when new patterns come in.
Geo Key Sleeveless Polo Dress - 50512
Feels cool to the touch before you even put it on. Keeps you cool on the course. Love IBKUL
Good fit, very slimming, perfect.
I love the idea of a golf dress I just found the geometric pattern of this particular design to much the same overall. It was a bit busy. I would like to have seen more contrast perhaps ribbing and some solid panels. But the fit of the dress and the style is just adorable. I returned it but will probably order it in a different print
Customer Reviews
Very nice
The simplicity of a dress! The coolest fabric I have found for Texas summers! The shape that gives and flatters! This is the best single golf garment I own. Hands down.
Very lightweight & pretty colors. NO POCKETS! No undershorts. Disappointed I can't wear it for golf or tennis because there is no place for the golf/tennis balls.
Customer Reviews
This was the first tome I have purchased from you and wow, this top is gorgeous. A medium was true to size, get comfortable to wear and cool in the heat .
Loved it so much I have purchased another one, only wish you had it in white

I can't return I shirt I purchased. Hey says they could m.not find mt order number. Please call me. 5857435505. Thanks
I got this top in navy and it is exactly what I had been looking for. The fabric feels great and it fits well. Now I'd like to get it in white!
Love how light the fabric is . . . the colors and patterns always make me smile.

The independent committee formed by Cricket Kenya last Thursday to address challenges at the national team is expected to give its recommendations on the way forward on Wednesday.
The CK general manager, Josephat Muriithi said: "The Edward Rombo-headed four-member committee on Friday met both national team players and the technical bench led by national team coach Steve Tikolo and his assistant Martin Suji, trainer Joseph Asichi and physiotherapist Joseph Mutisya.
"It was a very cordial meeting as people opened up."
The other members of the committee are Strathmore University hockey coach Meshack Senge and Sarah Ochwada, the secretary of the Athletics Kenya arbitration panel.
The formation of the committee follows a letter by the players to CK stating that they had lost confidence in the technical bench. Rakep Patel and Shem Ngoche resigned as captain and vice-captain, respectively.
When the technical bench stepped down before the team left for Namibia last month, CK appointed Rakep as player-cum-coach and Irfan Karim as the captain for the Namibia tour.
Murithi said the players have been training on their own since they came back from Namibia. They are very focused on their next ICC World Cricket League championship, to be held in Papua New Guinea next year between February and July.
"Former national player Sibtain Kassamali, who also turned out for Swamibapa in the Nairobi Provincial Cricket Association league in the 1990s, has been guiding the players on a voluntary basis," Muriithi added.
Muriithi accompanied the team to Windhoek, where they won both their World Cricket League matches against Namibia. Kenya now top the table with six points.
The ICC is using the event as a pre-qualification for the 2019 World Cup in England that will feature 10 teams. The top four teams will join another six in a World Cup qualifier in 2018 in Bangladesh, where the two finalists will earn tickets for the finals.

A new LTM is coming to Fortnite: Battle Royale today to celebrate the worldwide release of Avengers Endgame.
It's been over a year since the Thanos LTM made its debut in Fortnite as part of an Avengers Infinity War mash-up between Epic Games and Marvel Studios—but now, Epic has decided to do something different for this year's event.
The LTM pits Thanos and his Chitauri against a team of Avengers in a race to find the Infinity Stones. Find Thor's Hammer, Hawkeye's Bow, Captain America's Shield or Iron Man's Repulsors to defeat Thanos and the Chitauri in the Endgame LTM or defeat the heroes to complete the Mad Titan's mission.
When you become Thanos, you have four special abilities based on the Infinity Gems. These abilities allow you to knock players back and destroy structures, fly down to the ground to hit an area for knockback damage, super jump into the air, and power a large blast that deals damage over time in a straight line.
The LTM will be around until the end of the event, which is set to stop on May 5—so be sure to enjoy this mode while you can.

I have a domain name and a live website. I want to create some subdomains so that they appear as separate websites in Search engines.
For Example take Blogspot. x.blogspot.com and y.blogspot.com are separate websites.
This is normal behavior. I am not sure what your question is exactly. But here goes.
I am going to assume you are using Apache and host your DNS.
Create the sub-domain on your server however you need. For Apache, this would be almost exactly like any other domains website. You can find the configuration files in /etc/apache2/sites-available or /etc/local/apache2/sites-available. If there is a website already on the web server, you will see the configuration file named something like mydomain.com.conf. Use this file as an example and create your sub-domains. Create a file for each sub-domain like sub-domain.domain.com and cut and paste the contents of your original domain configuration into each. You will need to change some directives.
1] Change your ServerName to something like sub-domain.domain.com to reflect your sub-domain.
2] Remove ServerAlias.
3] Create a root directory for your sub-domain change DocumentRoot and .
4] You may need to change your log file locations as well.
You may have a control panel for this.
Create an entry in your DNS server for the sub-domain. Using the same IP address as the parent domain is fine depending upon your set-up. I am sure it will work okay assuming that all of the sites will be hosted on the same system. You will need an A record for each sub-domain. I cannot tell you how to create the record for your system. I am assuming you will have a control panel for this.
That is it.
Search engines treat all sub-domains websites as separate sites and separate from the parent domain.

TBY talks to Antoine Hraoui, Chairman & CEO of Everteam Global Services, on the company's efforts to strengthen its position in the sector, its key differentiators, and future objectives.
BIOGRAPHYAntoine Hraoui started his career in large multinationals in the US and France before co-founding, successfully developing, and selling IT start-ups. He subsequently invested in Everteam, a French IT SME, developing it to one of the leading European IT groups. He holds a master's degree in computer information systems.
What further ICT infrastructure developments should be made to boost the sector's impact on the economy?
The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN-DESA) produces the e-Government Development Index (EGDI) that measures three primary indicators: digital services offered by governments, the telecommunication infrastructure, and human capital. If these three indicators are considered, the ICT sector can be responsible for the boost in economy. The ICT sector is the largest employer compared to other sectors. We are constantly on the lookout for ICT graduates and need more interest from potential students in the ICT sector. Lebanon also needs better and more affordable digital infrastructure. We also need a national digital transformation strategy aimed at shifting e-government services to the cloud that will enable the emergence of new ICT sectors such as micro services and an apps industry.
Which of the services offered by Everteam in Lebanon are currently most in demand?
Lebanon's positioning in terms of the digital transformation is typically irregular, unstructured, and cautious. Lebanon has in fact still not adopted a clear digital transformation plan. Since the country is still in need of a digital foundation, we have been focusing on the back office automation of e-government over the past years. We have been transforming back office operations through government resource planning initiatives by content-enabling back office business applications such as human resources, payroll, budgeting, stock, inventory, and others, and by digitally transforming internal processes through the automation of various types of requests coming from various sources, in various formats.
How do you see these services evolving in 2018?
As the technological revolution advances, Everteam provides a new micro service architecture that includes a modernized application layer to build content-centric applications. The company is also taking a giant step towards the future by focusing more on business- and citizen-centric solutions. As a matter of fact, we will strengthen our positioning in big data and analytics and focus on integrating this modern technology more with IoT software and services. Our customers will also be able to see more of our AI-backed biometric solutions, which are witnessing rapid transformation through facial recognition, speech to text, and chatbot technologies. We will also leverage the power of deep learning augmenting the abilities of bots. In addition, we plan to port our IoT enabled solutions on top of a robust blockchain platform.
What distinguishes Everteam from its competition when delivering client confidence?
Everteam brings a broad set of platform level capabilities across content and process services coupled with big data, analytics, and the cloud. Over the years, Everteam has sustained a positioning strategy in the industry that incorporates superior service quality, innovative solutions, and proximity. We deliver advanced and high-market platforms and provide our customers with the ability to develop and customize processes that match their goals, through an open architecture. We incorporate our product and technology experts within our team members locally in Lebanon. Our sales, software, product, R&D, and quality assurance engineers are involved in the entire project lifecycle, helping organizations to drive their call for digital transformation.
What are Everteam's main objectives for 2018?
Everteam's plan to sustain in the future is divided into several areas. The first is a technological expansion: we will continue to invest in technology areas, as what is new today can be outdated tomorrow. The second is a geographical and structural expansion. We are in the process of hiring around 100 engineers in Lebanon and are looking at an international expansion to Central Asia and Africa. The company's executive committee has also put in place an aggressive expansion strategy. In the past decade, Everteam has made several acquisitions around the world, allowing the group to expand its operations to the US and Asia; with this, Everteam will be able to enter new markets, mainly the SME market, and propose new solutions. Today the company also looks to acquire businesses in the financial sector. Our mission is to help organizations all over the world reduce costs, minimize risks, and ensure compliance with norms and regulations, including the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and cybersecurity.

Hawaii vacation resorts on At 6'3 and 250 pounds, Gale was an imposing and threatening figure in his home town of Marysville, Ohio, some 25 miles northwest of 5 THE CASES Columbus. A one-time offensive lineman for the semi-pro Lima Thunder football team, Gale psyched himself up in the locker room with a pregame ritual of listening to Pantera full blast on headphones. He served with the 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina until November 2003 when he was discharged after fulfilling less than half of his four year hitch. According to his mother, Gale was discharged because he suffered from paranoid schizophrenia. Friends were accustomed to Gale's quiet social awkwardness, but became increasingly estranged from him as his behavior veered toward the bizarre. He began talking and laughing to himself and once appeared to be holding an imaginary dog. More disturbing, Gale showed up at a musician friend's house with songs he claimed to have written and demanded to sing with the band. Hawaii vacation resorts 2016.

HONCHO DISKO Is Back And We've Got The Tea
Alright guys and girls and everyone in between, listen up! The HONCH is back!
Returning to Brisbane on the 15th of March for another unforgettable night, we had the opportunity to speak with the legendary curator of the huge queer event – HONCHO DISKO. Named after a porn mag from the 70's and born out of a need to give young queer people a space to feel loved and accepted, John Pants and his 'musical brother' Matt Doll created a party unlike any other.
"HONCHO DISKO was created in December 2015 for Melbourne's subversive and alternative drag, burlesque and circus performers, musicians and bands to have a regular space to showcase and perform. It set out to focus on being an all inclusive night catering for everyone who identifies as queer and nurturing a safe space for everyone to feel welcome and celebrate their diversity and creative expression."
Since 2015, HONCHO has made its way into cities all over the country with Sydney's Imperial Hotel hosting it monthly. It has also been welcomed at Adelaide's Fringe Festival and more recently at The Brightside in Brisbane and girl, they're on a mission.
"The community is much bigger than just Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane, we have performers from all over Australia, all over the world! It is necessary for HONCHO to grow into every city. When I was growing up in the suburbs of Adelaide there was nothing like it. It's so important to reach the young queers and give them a space, make them feel loved and create a family for them – plus it's such a fun vibe!"
"HONCHO is forever evolving and growing. There's a definite need for a community event that people anywhere in the country or world can go to and feel like they are with family."
HONCHO DISKO isn't your average queer club night. It celebrates the uniqueness each person has and allows them to showcase their talents and creativity. It's a true freedom of expression and a space to be whoever you want to be, however you want to be.
"It's for everyone, it's a place where Club Kids, Bears, Twinks, Trans, POC – the whole community – can come together without judgement and just celebrate being queer and creative. It's about expressing yourself, wearing whatever you want and being accepted. Although the crazier the look the funner the night!"
If you know anything about the history of queer culture it's that creative expression has always been a necessity and HONCHO is no different. The looks you kids serve are becoming the stuff of legend and John definitely has his favourites.
"I like the full club kid outfits – although I like to see people feeling comfortable enough to be in nothing more than body glitter and undies."
"My most favourite would have to have been when Zelda Moon hosted a night and did an Alien sequence where in the first act she was Sigourney Weaver who was implanted by a face-hugger, then in the second show she came out as a full Xenomorph covered in goo and everything. She did a whole performance then sat down and lip synced to Aja's song "You're a Model, You're Beautiful, You Look Like Linda Evangelista" – was pure creative genius."
These nights aren't just about the looks, they're also about supporting queer talent. HONCHO has been able to bring some huge international names to the party such as Cakes Da Killa, Le1F, The House of Mince and FAKA. Currently they are working with ICON Amanda Lepore, Brooke Candy and Big Dipper as well as Australian super-talent Brendan Maclean in Brisbane.
"We LOOOOVE Brendan, we work with Brendan often, he is the best, a true professional and so great live! If you are yet to see him please do yourself a favour and come along March 15th. His live show has the whole room jumping."
Brisbane isn't exactly known for its queer community, but that's not necessarily a bad thing, at least not in the eyes of John.
"Every city brings something different because of the people in that city. A city like Brisbane isn't as saturated with queer events and spaces so the people that come to the events are so full of love and gratefulness to have more spaces. There are already so many amazing people in Brisbane providing spaces and running events and doing shows. HONCHO is just so glad to be a part of that and glad to be able to bring all the talent that we work with across Australia, creating a platform for the performers and DJ's and people that come to the events to go to different cities and meet new exciting, fun and creative like minded queers."
On the future for HONCHO, John has a vision for pure, unadulterated world domination. With it starting to make its way into every city in Australia, the only place left to go is the rest of the world.
"The world is so full of amazingly talented, creative people and it would be so awesome to be able to bring a lot of the crazy aliens and drag creatures from all over America, Europe and the rest of the world back to Australia."
HONCHO DISKO is back in Brisbane on the 15th of March at The Brightside for one night only! Bringing with it Brendan Maclean, Natasha St. James, ARIG and Curry Potter and hosted by Melbourne's notorious high priestess: Callan.
It's gonna be gaggy.
What: HONCHO DISKO
When: 15th of March – 9pm

This was another of the Water Eyeshadows from KIKO I picked up from Berlin.
This colour is what I call "base" colour. It's a shimmering cream/ champagne/ white with a pink duo chrome. You couldn't really define an eye with it but it's ideal for giving the lid a bit of light or to give a spark on the tear duct area.
It was a very difficult eyeshadow to photograph. It's hard to show you the pink shade it offers depending on the light.
I find that all Water Eyeshadows are consistent in texture so this one as well is super soft and easy to blend.
They are not very expensive (around £8) and they are very easy to use. I recommend them.

The Impact
New space.
New expertise.
New opportunities.
Impact: Campus Fund
We witnessed the power of 'bricks and mortar' to transform the learning experience in our Junior School since its completion 10 years ago. Now we wonder how we ever got by without this inspiring building.
We have the same revolutionary vision for important elements of our program that are currently in a space built in 1914. Enter the Intersection Campus Fund. Now science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) will not be exiled to one end of a building while art and music studios are at another. We know that bringing disciplines together, allowing them to intersect naturally by virtue of proximity, will empower the learning that our girls need for the high demands of today's world.
We've brought together the best in the field to plan and transform our campus. When it opens in early 2017, every girl at BSS – past, present and future – can experience how much space matters in inspiring transformative ideas, creativity and collaboration.
Impact: Innovation Fund
Every teacher knows sometimes too well that the world is anything but static. Both in their field of expertise and the realm of education, things change quickly and with great complexity. As fascinating as new research and discovery is, the best teachers need to make time and find resources to explore and embrace it. The impact of the Innovation Fund may not be as visible as the space in which it will unfold, but when girls feel passionate about their teachers and their learning, we can thank the ongoing professional learning opportunities and visiting experts for keeping both teacher and student at the top of their game.
Impact: Community Fund
With a deeper Financial Assistance pool to draw from, we will deliver our sought-after program to even more girls who are eager to experience it, but who may not have the means to do so. Hundreds of girls over the years have thrived at BSS and graduated into successful working lives thanks to our Financial Assistance program and our donors who have identified this as an area they feel passionate about. The far-reaching, emotional impact of the Community Fund is felt deeply by determined young girls who take an extraordinary opportunity, and run with it.

Teen Finds His Stolen Selfies Edited To Look 'Less Gay' By Catfish
A Scottish teen was left in stitches when he discovered someone was using his photos to bag some matches on Tinder.
Ross Wrightson's pictures were being used by a mystery catfish in a bid to speak to women, but not before they were edited to look 'less gay'.
The 19-year-old took to Twitter where he shared his original selfie against the Tinder profile, which had cropped out his prized Britney Spears calendar in order for them to appear more 'straight'.
Alongside the pictures he wrote:
Naw am howling someone has made a straight tinder using my pictures and has cropped the Britney spears calendar out of one of my instas to make me look less gay.
The tweet has since been liked more than 20,000 times with an impressive 961 retweets.
Whoever made the fake Tinder account used Glasgow native Ross' real name, but put his age as 22, instead of his true age. FYI, he's 19.
According to the screenshot which Ross shared, the person behind the account was 11 kilometres away, which would suggest whoever it is knows who Ross really is.
Ross explained:
A friend of my friend came across the account and told my friend about it.
She got in touch with me to ask me why I was on her Tinder and I was confused, but then we worked out it wasn't my account so I asked the girl to report it.
Although he first found it 'unsettling' that someone would go to those lengths to imitate him, he did find the Britney crop hilarious.
He continued:
Well it's a bit unsettling to have someone use your pictures to catfish girls on Tinder.
I just found it so funny that the Britney calendar didn't make the cut for the fake account in order to give girls a different impression of my photo.
There's no denying it could be taken as a huge compliment to have someone find you attractive enough to use your photos in an attempt to get matches.
Teen Finds His Stolen Selfies Edited To Look 'Less Gay' By Catfish
There are calls to make the practice of 'catfishing', aka using someone else's pictures to convince others that you are someone other than yourself, to be made illegal, the BBC reports.
In 2017, Anna Rowe launched a petition calling on MPs to make catfishing illegal after her whirlwind romance with Antony Ray, who she met on Tinder.
After 14 months, Anna discovered Antony was a married dad, who had used fake pictures of a Hollywood actor on his profile.

Executive Vice President for Research, G. Michael Purdy will be retiring at the end of this calendar year, President Lee Bollinger announced in an email Thursday morning.
During his nine years in the role, Purdy's focused his efforts on improving the University's research facilities as well as recruiting and retaining top talent. Under his leadership, Columbia has grown its research initiatives regarding nanotechnology, quantum science, and engineering. Purdy has also been essential in the planning and process behind building Columbia research institutes such as the Mortimer B. Zuckerman Mind Brain Behavior Institute, the Data Science Institute, the Precision Medicine Initiative, and the Herbert and Florence Irving Institute for Cancer Dynamics.
Before joining the University, Purdy had previously worked as the Director of the Lamont- Doherty Earth Observatory and as a marine geophysicist for many years. He has also been honored by the National Science Foundation and the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institutions.
"He possesses a rare capacity for translating ethereal ambitions into tangible reality, a precious skill for any world-class research university," President Bollinger wrote about Purdy. "Mike is perhaps the last person at Columbia to seek credit for his personal contributions when collaborating with others. Nevertheless, his many University partners in these efforts appreciate that, for the better part of a decade, his dedicated leadership has been indispensable to strengthening research at Columbia. He has been our captain."
The University will form an advisory group to assist in searching for a replacement for Purdy.

Dear BP Editors, Unfortunately, the values should be associated to Metrics not dimensions, as you can have more than one metric for the same dimension, I would consider to change the Human readable example, as in the following a) In the section "Data Quality values", you can add the metric description, for example, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Measured ??) Dimension | (Deployed ??) Metric | value | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Availability | dcat:downloadURL is available and if its value is dereferenceable| True (boolean) Completeness | Ratio between the number of objects represented in the cvs and the number of objects expected to be represented according to the declared dataset scope. | 0.5 (Double) b) in section "Quality Dimensions and Metrics", you can change the section title in "Quality Dimensions", and you can delete the metric column in the table. It should result in something like, ------------------------------- Dimension | Definition --------------------------------- Completeness | Refers to the degree to which all required information is present in a particular dataset. Availability | Availability of a dataset is the extent to which data (or some portion of it) is present, obtainable and ready for use. The above solution is perhaps less appealing, but it is closer to the data quality vocabulary model. Does it work for you?

Chairman and founder of the most magnificent golf course in the West African sub-region, the Smokin Hills Golf Resort in Ilara Mokin, Ondo State, Chief Michael Ade Ojo has expressed satisfaction with the standard of play by the golfers at the recently concluded 16th edition of the annual Elizabeth Wuraola Ojo Memorial Gol tournament in Ilara Mokin.
Chief Ade Ojo, an avid golf pundit while speak- ing weekend at the gala night climaxing the 16th edition of the tournament, took time out to extol the virtues of his late wife who passed on 16 years ago and also spoke of his plans to make Ilara Mokin and indeed, Ondo state so endearing to visitors at first visit.
"Life is not worth living if one does not have anything to be remembered for. The woman in whose honour this tournament is organized was everything a woman wants to be. Beyond being a wife, she was a dutiful mother to her children and a compassionate boss to her colleagues. She was the silent force behind various successes of the Group and a mentor to her colleagues. Great lives like hers never go out, they go on.

Diddy and Lil' Kim, but it was on the runway at the last Louis Vuitton show that he really created a stir, with a graceful series of backflips (something his father taught him to do when he was three). The spirit of Michael Jackson, his idol, was clearly with him.

If one reads news coverage of the global crude oil and oil products markets, one might imagine that risks to oil prices are skewed dramatically to the upside. Indeed, among oil consumers – and that's all of us—the main concern is supply disruptions, as driven home by the 1970s oil shocks, Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait, and consequences of the Arab Spring in 2011. As such, casual observers of the oil markets might be surprised to discover that during the past decade, out-of-the-money (OTM) put options were more expensive than OTM calls 92.5% of the time for crude oil and around 89% of the time for products such as Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD, formerly heating oil) and gasoline. In other words, oil traders have spent much more time during the past decade worried about downside risks than prices heading higher (Figures 1 and 2). Moreover, it turns out that the degree of skewness in the options markets has often been a good contrary indicator of where prices are heading, especially for the product markets.
Our related articles:
These related articles coming soon:
The persistent downside skewness (also known as "risk reversal") of energy options during the past decade may have something to do with the unique circumstance of soaring U.S. energy production since 2008 (Figure 3). Had it not been for the 130% rise in U.S. production due to the shale oil revolution, the probability distribution surrounding the future evolution of oil market returns might have been more evenly balanced or even positively skewed. Nevertheless, as the US became the swing producer of energy, downside risks for energy increased as was notably the case during the November 2014-February 2016 collapse in oil prices. Unfortunately, we don't have good data on oil options skewness prior to August 2008, so it's difficult to evaluate how much the rise in U.S. production influenced options skewness.
Skewness isn't consistent over time. Sometimes the energy markets do show positive skewness as they did in early 2011 when the Arab Spring threatened to disrupt oil supplies and in fact took a large portion of the Libyan, Syrian and Yemeni oil off the market. At other times, notably in late 2011, as well as in 2015-16 and in December 2018, the skew became extremely negative. So, was positive skewness a sign that prices were about to head higher or a sign that oil was overextended to the upside and about to correct? Likewise, was extreme negative skewness a sign of further downside to come or a signal that energy markets were oversold and were about to stage a rally?
To answer these questions, we indexed the skewness on a scale of 0-100 over rolling two-year periods and compared it to the actual payoff of a fully funded long futures position in the various energy contracts over the subsequent three months (so there's no look-ahead bias). For example, if the crude option skewness was the most negatively skewed to the downside it had been during the previous two years, the index would have a reading of zero. If the crude options market was the most positively skewed that it had been during the past two years, the index would have a reading of 100. We then broke the results down into deciles and looked at the subsequent three-month performance of the reinvested future rolled 10 days prior to expiry from 2008 until early 2019.
Crude oil options have shown a modest negative correlation with future returns in oil prices. However, in the three instances in which crude options became extremely negatively skewed (late 2011, early 2015 and late 2018), oil prices staged a substantial rally in the subsequent three-month period (Figure 4). That said, more modest negative skewness sometimes coincided with steep falls in prices afterwards. One might wonder why the returns on oil are generally so negative. That is because the oil market spent most of the past decade in contango (prices further in the future exceeded those nearer to the current contract month), giving it a strongly negative roll yield. Overtime, this negative roll yield has led to a substantial divergence between the theoretical return of the spot price of oil and the actual return of rolled futures positions (Figure 5).
For product markets such as ULSD and gasoline, the correlation has been much stronger. A more-than-average negative skew has often correlated with subsequent rallies in the prices of energy products, whereas more positive-than-average skew has often been followed by declining product prices (Figures 6 and 7). As such, even if one isn't trading options and is focused only the futures themselves, knowing the degree of OTM call – OTM put skewness might be a useful indicator to observe. That said, like any such analysis, this one is backward looking and time sensitive, concerning only the period from August 2008 until April 2019. Investors shouldn't expect that such relationships will necessarily hold going forward.
