Trash logic. Here's why:
1. The site quotes WHO, which you quote in second point as a reliable source!
2. Yes, if Syria is surrounded by countries infected it doesn't mean Syria has it, the country is blockaded by all those around it for 9 years and they only send it terrorists who are killed on spot with their viruses, in case you were following any news anywhere. | r/levantinewar | comment | r/LevantineWar | 2020-03-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6aTFmZVNiS0kzNzZYblZmWXMzSWFJQ05GVU5PZjV1NkNsOGpPdmxxLVRMbG1wZjBwQ1cwSUZ6UDhSRWpYZmtTNmNodUJnWXRFTVRad0JFWnBsMnNxenc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EMTVzRVZmQ0RLakJyd3ZpdnZCOWlNYVBvZ2NmQWFPYnQwdGduZ2pQQXFhY2FJdUVQUGRfTjEyX0Q5SklEOXkzb2tiV2xZWENkYjNLOVNiNnZUcFhHdDVua050NEI4djJSb2FFZTh5TTEtaHd1Z21PM284Z3JRT041c1Y1NlpZVWR4UXFnOUIzam9lenRWN0FteXNCelp4Ym5WQVBFcVJ1NWRJZXhzNkJuVDU4aWxNcWNJNDV4VGt4bC1La09kNXNtWTY3b0pGbmVMWjRITzdlZENjY2VxQT09 |
1. This is a situation that is evolving day by day. Yes, your site quotes WHO, but they quote information released 10 days ago. That makes it useless, and the author of the article you posted uses it nine days later.
2. FYI viruses don’t give a fuck about blockades. Perhaps instead of “following any news anywhere” you should take a remedial science course. | r/levantinewar | comment | r/LevantineWar | 2020-03-15 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6SnM4WWNwTWpqS1RVMC01LTVkdWhrZ00tdzB0eThwY1RQZ3o4YnBpOHNxZzE4d0xpOGtISWJTNXVZQlpMbDIyOEhHRFR4MWRHTVRmbW9udFF0c3pyb0UwN0FGanpOdWZ5bWlvMUZsNG9KeDA9 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EQjhRRUpMT2pUVXlEWHA5VUIyeHhOYW82enN2ZTRmZnYxMVNQRXpBbzJ1ZTVOOUs5aFo5YTZLRHNQQ1BqNG9EVXRDVng4MmxrOHdLSjlnNmJKaWxHdkg1UzQ2SGZzUkpxUTZ4UXdZOEtnLVItVTVmVmpLbU9XbEVwdkNzOEhNWGZjb3lNajZPSEZ5RVVLczBpWDE4Q0JpSDI1UVhfRjdCOWd6Y2tBLUdqQW14cmxsQTMyWFFMdFd4WktfQm84RUtENlFiZFVWS3luak5YMDkxN1hPQmNSUT09 |

ChromaWay was founded in 2014, and is based in Stockholm, Sweden. Chromaway is a relational blockchain designed to enable a new generation of enterprise decentralized applications.
It is a blockchain platform popularly known by it's subsidiary chromia. By combining great blockchain experts, it enables smart contracts, and digital assets for financial applications, and non-financial applications, issuing, and transferring assets through a blockchain. It has a complete open source Enterprise platform for coloured coins with an extended features, with innovative ideas, and operational systems, set to improve set to improve scalability of decentralized applications, and show the optimal power of blockchain solutions (CHROMIA).
**ChromaWay Technology Solutions Application**
This innovative blockchain ecosystem is the creator of relational blockchain, a class of blockchain platforms, that combine the power and flexibility, of mature relational database systems, with the secure collaboration, and disruptive potential of blockchain.
The technology behind Chroma has so far been successfully executed, and tested by a lot of governments, development Banks, and agencies, testing backing, or using chromia or is technology including, Sweden, India, Germany, Australia, China, Canada, Peru, Kenya, etc. The ChromaWay team possesses strong enterprise, and government connections worldwide.
To mention but a few detailed use cases in the economic sector, we have the following;
**LAND REGISTRATION**
*Future House Sales.*
ChromaWay has partnered with the government Andhra Pradesh, in Sweden, to build a blockchain powered system for land registration. The solution has the potential to eliminate and curtail fraud and errors and greatly reduce the administrative burden of land registration and commercial agreements.
*Rental Agreements*
Daimler Real Estate is the property holding company of Daimler Group. We worked with them to create a system to streamline the process of assigning and approving rental agreements to each internally leased property. Their holding totals some 800 million euros worth of rent each year, Esplix was able to demonstrate a significant potential for administrative cost reduction, as well as reduced potential for errors and increased transparency within the Group.
**FINANCE**
*Green Finance*
The Green Assets Wallet equips green investors, with the technology to better deliver on the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement. In collaboration with Stockholm Green Digital Finance, ChromaWay built a platform for validating green investment claims and reporting on the impact of green projects. By providing trusted verification and validation infrastructure, the Green Assets Wallet unlocks and mobilises huge amounts of private capital for green projects in both developed and emerging markets.
The project is funded and co-developed by the Emerging Markets Dialogue on Finance (EMDF) which is a project of Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ).

Being a new concept in the industry decentralized applications are getting a lot of media coverage. However with their increasing implementation, and emerging use cases, they are likely to be adopted, and accepted by the people.
DApps hosted on the chromia blockchain, are characterized, but not limited to the following features;
**DApps As First Class Citizens**
In Chromia, DApps are more than just a collection of "smart contracts". Each DApp, has his own blockchain, a sidechain, which runs on a specific set of nodes, that can have his own tokens, its own monetization, it's own governance. A DApp pays for hosting, not every transaction, this gives DApp developers, a high degree of flexibility, and control. In Chromia, every DApp has full freedom to make its own choices.
**Decentralized Consensus**
Chromia allows dapps to scale to millions of users via horizontal scaling, with sidechain sharing. Each dapp has it's own blockchain(s). Because each blockchain is run by a subset of nodes, it is possible to increase total throughput, by increasing the number of nodes.
**Super Fast Interactivity and I/O Throughput**
Data queries and updates are delegated to a heavily optimised relational database, allowing them to perform a large number (100k+) of queries, data retrievals, and update operations from blockchain within seconds.
**Swift Dapp Load**
Dapp can quickly retrieve information they need, directly from nodes running the application. Dapp blockchain logic can perform complex queries, without performance degradation. Thanks to ruch indexing, and query capability, the entire dapp state relevant to the user, can be transferred to the clients in the matter of seconds.
**Excellent User Experience**
Dapps on Chromia can achieve parity with centralised applications, in terms of ease-of-use, and make user onboarding process much simpler. Dapps which require complex UI, such as games, can be implemented using a separate client the word as a web or mobile application, and innovated operational process, making it possible for users to access blockchain games, in a natural ways similar to how "normal" games work.
ChromaWay has a long and successful history in the blockchain space, being traditionally an enterprise, and a humanitarian focused company, that has been making moves on the front for many years. Personally I would say, this is one platform to keep an eye on, as it possesses a lot of plausible potentials.

I'd advise you to take an English course to help you see there's no Syria in the latest WHO report you quoted, forget about my site.
It's good to think you're smart, but don't overthink it. Until end of day yesterday local time there was not a single case of the virus in Syria, you don't like Syria because they were not defeated by the superpowers and super rich in the world combined, that's fine, but try not to create a fake reality and spread it around. | r/levantinewar | comment | r/LevantineWar | 2020-03-16 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6c3VMV1piREhETFNYQ2htZjNCdkZOTmV2ZENzdlA0TUlxajIta0g4eUlnOTNwLUc2Sml1RWdWZkIyMEpUUm5Edm5pV1V5T0FfMnBDV1pxRXlkcW54VEE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EVGtsLVEwV0dxVngyZ0RPSVlmaHlBVTAxNHVrWHE3QVFBTW9IV2VWVVhzX3Z3V3duSG0xVnlzTElWZ3E3VEQzVl9YX2xHNlNrQXFjcEZUWTNTWFV1NmtHX2pCTjNEa25HdHlkWU84U0VoTF9pWnJ2QWVDN3QwcURZa1NoSmdqLVJPM29ta0tvNy16NGRlUGM2elQxOW1faUJxVmJDUUkyT0FxZ3U5YmszSGhKNkczUnp2THdnclZhUmJpb3JTMnAyRXVHRTFUbEVLa3BMbVhVMnlfd0ZMZz09 |

Hey, care to see a short review on Chromia's progress on the blockchain?
Its a coloured coin with real intrinsic value, that can be/is currently been utilized by enterprises and governments, such as (but not limited to);
@ChromaWay, the parent of @Chromia, has undertaken many enterprise projects with customers such as:
▪️Swedish Land Registry
▪️New South Wales Land Registry
▪️Colombia Chambers of Commerce
▪️Daimler Real Estate
▪️UN Women
The idea of a quality and efficient blockchain technology, is in penetrating already existing markets, with original, unique, viable positive contributions, with the ability to solve problems hindering several centralized sectors, in a more convenient and decentralized manner. Making its public, not only end users, but key contributors in its system.
Chromia has shown that is proving drastically, every step of the way that, it holds a lot of solution to economic sectors, and financial institutions, using operational models and tools well innovated, and unique to its very fundamentals. Showcasing in more ways than one, how impactful its use cases can be.
Very few blockchain projects can make boast of this. Chromia is touching every aspect of the world’s sector, finance, gaming, land and registry and now commerce.

For decentralized networks, node communication is a primary cause of transaction limitations. Decentralized networks deliver security and transparency by enabling network consensus, and this is achieved by all nodes communicating with each other to agree on the confirmation of a decision (transaction).
As indicated in the article, AVA would require 98,500,000 fewer communications, a near 99% reduction. This figure can be dynamically reduced for subnetwork revolving on low-value microtransactions, by having the minimum numbers of nodes per consensus group in the subnetwork being reduced to just, supposedly 10. With such terms, the number of communications would be just 30,000, a 99.97% reduction.

Emin Gün Sirer created Karma in 2003, the first cryptocurrency to use a PoW consensus mechanism. He has made considerable contributions to the earliest days of operating systems and even decentralized protocols. He went on to publish the Avalanche consensus, which is going to be implemented in to AVA, a development led by AVA Labs. | r/altcoins | post | r/altcoins | 2020-03-24 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6Qm1BRVI5RFo1bEZEX2hSSl9qaUFEY0syQWNPSXhYYmVhWVRUbHMwR1JBOHNRWFN5T0VEXzVFQXYxUVAyb19ENVliLWJwb3NGUkl0ZWlsdkZDZlBXTVE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EQUc4QlloLVlTcWZ2QmZ6SW5vaFQ3czRwNEZaTFhjM0VIaXJKZTRSMG1GT0pLVXpUeEVaVHAyRkRuRk1YQ095blgzR3lqNXVpZF9URnBMT0owdGVKQjhVWi12aFFDUTNpQV82S1ZMWVJFejNQN3hUWkktUjdKLXVfcEVRTG1YYnZicDZPa2wxN3M3LVpxaV9aVHZUaVE1WVVpNUhGUjYzNjhLWWZod3NXUjZIdWZBeGtCeTBTRDI0MkRlNGJnalNR |

Hello,
I would appreciate if anyone can recommend me some papers or literature that summarize the consequences of quantitative easing in euro zone, USA and/or England. I am curious mostly about whether it helped to recover from crisis and if it was actually a good choice. Also the long term consequences might be very interesting.
It would be good if the recommended position was from a good journal or by a respected economists.
Thanks in advance!

[Bitcoin Futures Explained](https://phemex.com)
Traditional Futures Contracts VS Perpetual Contracts
To clarify this concept, it is best to begin by highlighting the differences between these two financial instruments. Traditional futures contracts always have an exact expiration or settlement date. Although its price deviates from the underlying asset’s price (basis) during its lifetime, they will always converge at expiration.
Perpetual contracts on the other hand, never expire and never settle in the traditional sense. As such, their prices could end up becoming wildly different than the underlying assets that they derive their value from. To prevent this from happening, a Funding Rate mechanism attempts to tether a contract’s price to its asset’s price.
How does a Funding Rate help tether prices?
The concept becomes more intuitive as you being to understand the process. The funding rate is calculated by considering the interest rates for both trading pair currencies and the Premium Index. The calculation either yields a positive (longs pay shorts) or a negative (shorts pay longs) funding rate. Every 8 hours payments are exchanged with the funding rate deciding who pays who. This exchange of payments causes the Last Traded Price to move closer to the Mark Price.
Let’s imagine that the current Last Traded price for a product on our exchange is significantly higher than the Mark Price. Logically, this means that there are more traders with long positions. As such, they will probably end up paying short position holders at the time of funding. Because traders are aware of when funding will occur, they then become less likely to want to hold these positions and more likely to sell. Hence, the Last Traded price will continually drop and approximate the Mark Price.
Key Points
Funding Rate fees are only paid between traders and not collected by the exchange at all.
It is intended to help tether a perpetual contract’s price to the mark price.
The rate can vary depending on the market.
It is a mechanism that only applies to perpetual contracts and is used by all exchanges that deal with these type of derivatives.

Hey everyone, I'm sorry if this is the inappropriate place to post this.
I came up with an idea for a flat-tax, community service based economic model that I believe could be, if not a solution, at least a decent start towards a prosperous system for most individuals. Challenging the argument that a flat-tax rate would not work in a society due to discrepancies in wage earnings, the bottom-earners having much more to lose than those at the top. To address these issues, I theorize that by allowing community service, charity work and charitable donations to be used as tax deductions, we could build a system that actually works. On paper, a flat-tax rate for all individuals, regardless of income would be, what I believe to be, of the most universally beneficial economic systems. I think that it only makes sense that if everyone is treated fairly and evenly at all levels, then the driving factors of success and innovation would remain intact as well. So by allowing anyone to earn their taxes back, by providing a service to their community, it would benefit the communities around the country, and help to ease the burden of tax dollars being spent on some public programs. If individuals staffing rescue centers, recreational centers, and other similar programs to be discussed later, were able to volunteer their time, while receiving a portion of their taxes back, then I believe that we could see some significant change. My theory is that over time, communities will continue to see benefit as their communities build around them, a society that addresses concerns most affecting their geographic location. Understandably not everyone will be able to benefit fiscally from this system, as there will always be outliers, but they should be able to receive the benefits of a stronger and more tight-knit community. I also think that if this program is successful, then over time one would expect to see most of their society begin to grow, as empathy and understanding begin to develop alongside with some tax savings.
The idea driving this is that everyone should be given a fair chance at life, a universal tax would not diminish the value of effort put in and by allowing those that may have some additional spare time (or make time for it) the chance to either reduce or reimburse themselves by assisting their communities. We have reached a point in time where the threads holding society together are fringed and the consequences of them being lost forever is something that we should try to avoid. Rural parts of the country are experiencing tragic losses due to the opioid crisis, whereas urban city centers are flooded with displaced homeless people. By being able to provide some additional resources to our neighbors, I believe that we could work together to eventually find some type of universal policies that could help everyone have an equal chance of taking on life, without suffering the consequences of multiple failed economic and political systems of the past. If we were to set up community based support systems, youth centers, recreational centers, community gardens, etc. we should be able to help out some of those that we are most able to help, and also probably need it more than anyone.
I think more so, now than ever recently, it has become apparent how desperately needed community is. However, I am relatively uneducated when it comes to economic figures, feasibility of this prospect and what the actual percentages would look like. If I were to throw a number out and say if everyone in a country was taxed at 15% of their income (all sources of income, dividends and capital gains included) I don't know what this figure would be, how it could be used most efficiently, etc. and that's why I'm asking for help.
I figure during this quarantine/pandemic period, someone out there might be bored enough to actually read this. And hell, maybe a person that reads this will actually agree with me or at least be willing to have a conversation. Who knows, maybe someone might actually help me too!
Well if you made it this far, thank you so much for reading this. I have been wracking my brain with this idea for a few months now and have had a lot of anxiety about telling anyone about it. | r/econpapers | post | r/EconPapers | 2020-04-02 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6U2RZS3NKRnkySDZ2cHlCTUZjajRVRHpKZ1BHcW05S3BvdmY5cUxBUXZkT2Y1MEx3TXRkdEZJdWg0MFBOdzR2NWhCRWY5dVptcmhXUndITkw0dVVUZHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EZ09JMXkwM0JTWEF2Z3BSelBXRmVsRXhEdS1VQTZGN1c1LWFpNE01RFpMTU42dWZBMW9Oei1IQk1JZXZmOE5idkMwczNweHQtWnVyVXlLbTI5TFJiX0pPUFN4MUN1UzN2dnFRa2F6Y0F5N00tOWhwb3ExYmVNSDFyUDA5bkx2b0NXbmU3LVEzbUJmZkEteWJOMHdoMUJ3Wmh1T2dsWGU3aVA5ME1vWTcyYlcyZl8zTERtX0dmVk55WTdvd1dYaVNpNUkydlRyb3JJNmFzNkZHT1Z0VVd6Zz09 |

This YouTube/Twitch operating in a blockchain-like type of platform announced that they [signed an agreement with Theta](https://www.bloomberg.com/press-releases/2020-04-06/contentos-announces-partnership-with-theta-network) to accelerate the development of video optimization and user experience with Contentos and its video platform. How it works is that individual users share excess computing power and bandwidth resources as a relay node for video streams.

What are Stablecoins?
These are newer cryptocurrencies specifically designed to avoid the price volatility that is characteristic of alternatives such as Bitcoin. Traditional cryptocurrencies are unfit for everyday usage as their prices can swing wildly even within a single day. In other words, users are not very likely to adopt a currency if they cannot accurately predict its daily purchasing power. Similarly, constant inflation or deflation will also significantly affect whether a currency is spent or saved. To solve these issues, Stablecoins peg their value to a more consistent currency or asset such as the US dollar or gold.
How do Stablecoins achieve price stability?
The primary mechanisms that allow Stablecoins to maintain their steady prices are essentially taken from the system of fiat currencies. The US dollar, for example, maintains its relative value through collateral and central authority. Different Stablecoin projects use different variations of these concepts.
Fiat-Collateral
A Stablecoin that pegs its value to a single US dollar can then hold the same amount of dollars for every token they issue. Having fiat currency as collateral helps them manage and control the value of their coins effectively.
Crypto-Collateral
Stablecoins that use other cryptocurrencies as collateral are slightly more complex. Because their underlying reserve cryptocurrencies are subject to high volatility, they must maintain a number of assets with a total value that surpasses that of its tokens. For example, to issue $100 worth of tokens, they must first acquire $200 worth of cryptocurrencies in reserve, or over-collateralize their coin. This allows for a cushion that can accommodate up to a 50% price swing.
No-Collateral
Some Stablecoins hold no collateral reserves, but rather imitate a central banking system instead. They rely on actions taken by a central authority that decides when more coins need to be issued or taken away. This close monitoring and controlling of supply helps maintain a target price level.

A higher hash rate is associated with higher levels of security. More processing power, naturally, requires more miners. For malicious attackers to be successful, they must control over 50% of the network’s mining power. If they did, these attackers would then have the ability to block new transactions and confirmations. Luckily, the more legitimate miners you have, the more difficult it becomes to coordinate a large enough group to carry a successful attack.
Another important concept to understand is that an increase in processing power does not mean that blocks are mined or verified any faster. Bitcoin is specifically designed to have blocks be mined about every 10 minutes. To maintain this rate, it simply increases the difficulty of its mathematical puzzles to match the increase in computing power.
[Hash rate](http://phemex.com/)
, difficulty, and mining rewards have a strong interdependence. As mentioned above, when difficulty increases so does the hash rate, and vice versa, in order to obtain the reward. However, through bitcoin halving events, the reward is cut in half every four years. The combination of these factors plays a significant role in determining Bitcoin’s price. More computing power indicates stronger security, which then increases user and investor confidence. Halving events are also generally understood to raise prices as supply becomes more limited. Ideally, these increases would help mining remain profitable enough to maintain or increase hash rates once again.

A Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication scheme that allows a user to log in with a single ID and password to any of several related, yet independent, software systems.
This is a recourse towards;
1.) Mitigating risk for access to 3rd-party sites (user passwords not stored or managed externally)
2.) Reduce password fatigue, from different username and password combinations
3.) Reduce time spent re-entering passwords for the same identity
The integration of Single sign-on system into Chromia platform, is perhaps the most important UX improvement that Chromia offers the decentralized world, and is currently unique to chromia. It revolutionizes the way users interact with dapps, enabling user to login to different dapps with a single account, alsocurtailing instances when private keys and details are compromised or lost.
The application of SSO, would also make DeFi secure and easy to use, rather than requiring rigorous processes.
[download-2.png](https://postimg.cc/SjqvXjrG)
Chromia’s SSO solution is helping to improve the user experience for dapps, while also increasing security, which would viably increase the mainstream adoption of blockchain technology in general and dApp usage in particular.
Chromia has in store bundles of innovated technology, ideas, and mechanisms, that would be invariably beneficial to the blockchain industry, for users at each root in the blockchain industry.

Long term lurker first time poster, been seeing this coin popping up alot so decided to do some research.
Creditcoin looks to be a collaboration between two fintech firms:
Aella Credit
Gluwa
Source: https://www.coinspeaker.com/creditcoin-turns-digital-wallets-investment-market/
Gluwa and Aella Credita have joined forces to launch Creditcoin, an inter-blockchain P2P lending market that operates across distributed ledgers ensuring permanent record of transactions that cannot be alter or tampered with.
So what are Aella Credit and Gluwa?
So Gluwa is a Fintech / Finance firm based out of Silicon Valley working on some sort of Stable Coin (USD-G)
Source: https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/gluwa
and lists 500 Startups as its main investor, which is a global VC withh over $500m in investments.
Aella Credit looks to be another fintech/finance firm based out of sillicon valley & Nigeria working on some sort of credit solution for loans
https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/aella-credit#section-investors
and lists Brian Armstrong (CEO of Coinbase), Y Combinator, Vy Capital, 500 startups, Zeno Ventures, HQ Financial Group, Unis Venture Fund, Steve Chen (Founder of Youtube) as investors.
This seems like a pretty solid backing.
In terms of what Aella is doing,
https://techcabal.com/2020/02/10/nigerian-fintech-aella-credit-is-pivoting-after-raising-10-million/
Over the last five years, the company said growth has been impressive. Two months after it launched, Aella provided 90 million loans, Jones told TechCabal in 2015.
But in the last two years, it said its user base has grown 674% and revenue grew 193%.
Aella’s latest funding round is its second investment. It previously raised $2 million seed funding from YCombinator, 500 Startups, VY Capital and Gluwa. A number of important individual investors also participated in the round including Michael Siebel from YCombinator, Coinbase’s Brian Anderson and former NFL cornerback, Shawntae Spencer.
With the new investment from HQF, Aella has announced three important moves.
First, the company plans to expand across Africa and South-eastast Asia.
Second, it is working on a blockchain lending solution called Creditcoin. Not much is known about the product. But according to a press release, Creditcoin will provide creditworthiness information “and aid in the acquisition of one million additional users by the end of 2020”.
It sounds like Creditcoin will be used to process the loan history along with creditors history through the Aella App, which will offer Loans, investments, Health Insurance, and bill payments.

About me: recent grad, masters degree in political science with a focus on global affairs. It’s with a private agency in Seattle. I’m really looking to get into this field so I’d appreciate some advise.
Will they ask me specific international trade questions? I feel like although I study international relations I don’t know much about trade policy.....
But the job description didn’t require any prior knowledge exacly, just relevant work experience/transferable skills. | r/internationaltrade | post | r/Internationaltrade | 2020-04-21 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6WDlSNFRTaGhSa3pValJFUG10d1B0QXo2cVBKOG5zRUhwVTE0bFpzbmpsSXpVTk4zTWRmXzRSTm9PanBlYkRzTUxmYnRrcmZqLTBEY0tPbmFwU015QXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EZmhMM3VDU1NSRF9nd1pHTTFYekpHTHJKQnN2em9DbHhEc2MwMGJyUFREZXljTGt4S1U1SmMtZ19hbVg4TWl2VzhVNi1QeWhnalZfblJ2c1N1SS0zeHRwOExweHNEVG5tZm1jV1o0Q3U3QVU0TXYzUl9UM2tHaElUNG9OWG11T0MwdklCNkhrSGkxTk55WkwteWVWU1RPZmZhU1AwdUFBYUNweldRUVk0eUh2c0pwV3dyRU1YQU1SUENtMzZwWmN0bnNqdURsV3FQcE5TVUUxbzNUd0pPQT09 |

Hey all, I'm starting my own import export business in Australia. I have a strong connection with China and can source quality products. That to me is the easiest part. I have done research about what could be good to import, but I lack the clients. My business model is focusing on importing for other businesses with a plan to later expand into importing and being a wholesaler in the future.
The thing I would like help with is how can I find clients that need my services? Alibaba and other similar sites just connect me with a supplier, but as the middle man, I need to connect with businesses that products. Thank you! | r/internationaltrade | post | r/Internationaltrade | 2020-04-27 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6YXpYQzh4RHQxVEcyWUZYb1Y1UHNzNk4xWXRLNkFsWHdySGthRjg4MkdVYmNONkt0b2VYZHJUQVVPZ2N3TlEwZG1KM051ZjRqRGxYWFg3TGRZa3ZLNXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EWEppWHBrMDBYUVRfSmlMSXBKM0Q2ZE1Nd0l5QWl0N2VVeHZoT01XUUdCcklkZGJvZkpfcndwb3hGSzFKZjZGbW9JWnVRTGpyb3lBaEJRSFgxaFN3ejZiSkNQdkFMaFJNd1Q3c2FDOGtaYmpwNDJPT1lhOGVOeHc4RVk3aEUyVGxNa2s0bzlRTTB5c3dCaWNZRjY0SXh2b0FOWndRM0diaU5VQTBJWjdURjhrWEs3WDVBcHZ0dWo3VE10Ti1sZGgx |

They wouldn't have a choice, Kim Yo-Jong's risen through the ranks and is acknowledged as the successor by the DPRK's elites. The North Korean people don't really get a say in the matter. Even if they did, she's also Kim Il-Sung's child and Kim Yong-Un's sister, so she's already part of the divine Kim family. | r/globalpolitics | comment | r/GlobalPolitics | 2020-04-29 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6dlJQendqcEJaanZlXzZEaE1xZThCODBTYUt0cFdHZF81RWM5N2xKQmEySFc2bmcwRXBpZFhGaHZud1FadGFQOEZFbXUtb1Q0ZHltaUtYWGpaYmk0MHc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EbnNGRE1Ic3pvNVVWWGYzcmhGMnVMTUZybk1PYnJpZk55SGdFLVUzcWY5RF8zU3M5amJOd2pCa1BVRFhBZ1JnQmhiRmgyZXRzTzFZZHhNc0l1aTZ1M081dkJUUlJFeTVwS2dfZzU4SWJzNnA0UERWb0hvX2IxR1pTQXBRTnVkMW5iYzdrd3VPZWktdGlGbjhyOWpBWlJMRWc3dXJER3Q4X3RzLWJsczM2YnpKSkVLcjhoVTZEdFo2b0haYXVVSTdwVndndlN2SGpIQTFDMnFISW9VMEh5QT09 |
Any interesting papers that would use/focus methodologies that can be used in analyzing immediate policy effectiveness?
Let's assume I have a dataset consisting of fiscal/monetary policy responses and non-pharmaceutical interventions to the COVID-19 crisis in tens of countries. How would I go about analyzing their effectiveness in terms of, e.g., GDP growth (other variables also possible), in short term? What would be suitable methodologies? Let's say I would have quarterly GDP growth data up until Q2 2021. | r/econpapers | post | r/EconPapers | 2020-05-01 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6RVBFUXVPZXBpTjNGTTlmVFg3WWgzR2VqbHBwNmlyY3JONHJnaHdPNF9iN1JMdkU3Ym00M1JNMFBUQVFXaXVwdnBZWVdUYnN5dEdFVGZXS3dyc0llWlE9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9ETUxpM2pXWkRGRi1CcXJZdXlFaVNsT2h2MldqanE1OUV0RVhxWURidW1sQ3ZUSmRKaEg4U3VOb19TajBjRE4ySlBWbzlNMjNheGdGQWVEUmpOa1BsSmFNTmNPNm1ua0hsMGZtS0tsZ2VCaW9MVHZZbHR6cFVCVzlyTEtIb0IyTklOR1o3QmZYNHVTdnM5N1FENE8xeHhtNFBpVk9lSnR3RGVBdjl6Mjl5cElPVV9WZ0ZoQTVmVnZTWnZhZHlVUUp2 |

**The Evolution of Monetary Policy: Age of the Bailout**
In the years leading up to 2008 Wall Street had been celebrating massive gains; top finance executives were awarded up to $53 billion dollars in total compensation in 2007. Lloyd Blankfein, former CEO of Goldman Sachs, made $68 million himself. These profits were the result of financial innovations and financial derivatives, specifically mortgage backed securities (MBS). A mortgage backed security is an asset backed security which is secured by a collection of mortgages. The mortgages are aggregated and securitized so that investors can buy them and receive periodic payments similar to a bond’s coupon payment. Mortgage backed securities were doing so well in the years leading up to 2008 that lenders were running out of people with good credit to lend to. Everyone was buying and building houses so much so that the real estate market became a bubble and all the prices inflated.
At first everyone was celebrating the gains in housing prices, since price increases generally meant profits for home investors, mortgage brokers, and even big banks. Not too long after the party, the real estate bubble burst. Everyone was immediately impacted; mortgage giants, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, were on the verge of bankruptcy. Some of the biggest investment banks in the world, each having upwards of $10 trillion assets under management, such as Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers, and Merrill Lynch were about to collapse. The whole financial sector was in shambles. “In a period of 18 months, Wall Street had gone from celebrating its most profitable age to finding itself on the brink of an epochal devastation.” Banks were heavily involved with mortgage securities. Most of these securities were financial derivatives which means they derive their price from an underlying asset. “Banks were creating increasingly complex products, many levels removed from the underlying asset.”
The first bank to really be shallow waters was Bear Stearns. Bear Stearns was a global investment bank whose main area of business was capital markets, wealth management, and investment banking. In 2008 Bear Stearns had roughly $13 trillion in derivative financial instruments, $2 trillion of which were in options and futures contracts. The company had a highly leveraged balance sheet with a lot of illiquid assets that were potentially worthless. Bear Stearns was the seventh largest securities firm in the world. Since their business was highly intertwined with other huge financial institutions, their potential collapse would be detrimental for the global economy.
U.S. Treasury secretary Hank Paulson knew that if Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers collapsed there would be a domino effect across the financial sector and other huge financial institutions such as Citigroup, Merrill Lynch, and others would fail while consumers would start to lose confidence in the banking sector, more banks would be subject to bank-runs. In order to prevent the worst from occurring the U.S. Treasury Secretary put together a task force which included Jamie Dimon, CEO of J.P. Morgan Chase, Ben Bernake, Chairmen of the United States Federal Reserve, and Tim Geithner, Head of the New York Fed. After pondering possible loans and other solutions in order to rescue Bear Stearns, they deemed that there was no way to save Bear Stearns. This is not because of insufficient capital but because confidence had been lost in Bear Stearns. J.P. Morgan Chase ended up acquiring Bear Stearns for $10 a share, much less than their 52 week high of $133 per share.
After Bear Stearns fell the next bank about to collapse was Lehman Brothers. Lehman Brothers was the fourth largest investment bank in the United States. Its CEO at the time Richard Fuld blamed the declining stock price on short sellers. However the short sellers argued that the way Lehman viewed non-liquid assets such as mortgages was disturbing. Fuld refused to accept that the bank essentially had a bunch of junk mortgage backed securities on their balance sheets and tried to solve Lehman’s liquidity problem with more cash. He reached out to Warren Buffett to try and secure a loan, but Buffett said it was too risky. Richard even reached out to the U.S. government for a bailout, but Treasury Secretary at the time Henry Paulson refused to bail out Lehman with public tax payer money and instead said that the bank must secure funding from the private sector. Paulson gathered all the CEO’s of major banks and told them to come up with a solution for saving Lehman Brothers. Likely contenders to buy out Lehman Brothers were Bank of America and British bank, Barclays. However neither of which were willing to take on the Lehman’s real estate assets which were basically worth half of what Lehman was valuing them at. After failing to secure capital, or merge with another bank Lehman Brothers filed for chapter eleven bankruptcy protection on September 15th, 2008. Chapter eleven bankruptcy protected some creditors and most employees. In the bankruptcy agreement, Lehman Brothers’ shareholders paid the ultimate price and watched their fortunes from a year prior be worth a fraction of what they were.
At the same time Lehman Brothers was crashing, insurance giant American International Group (AIG) and mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were tumbling down cliffs of their own. James Lockhart, head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) issued a plan to make the two mortgage giants into a conservatorship as government sponsored enterprises. The two mortgage companies were now and still are U.S. government enterprises who facilitate the secondary mortgage market. The United States Treasury Secretary, Hank Paulson, as well as Federal Reserve Chairman, Ben Bernanke, both agreed with the housing agency's decision.
On the other hand, AIG executives were assuring everyone that the company was in sound financial standing. At the time, AIG had $1 trillion in assets and roughly $40 billion in cash. In addition, executives argued that they had an extremely profitable business supporting insurance on collateral debt obligations (CDO). A CDO is a financial tool that banks use to package individual homeowners, credit card, and auto loans into securities sold to investors on the market. CDOs at the time were mainly used to refinance mortgage backed securities.. Most of AIG’s business was traditional insurance products such as health, life, and home insurance. However during the real estate bubble the company began taking a lot of risks in the form of credit default swaps (CDS). A CDS is a financial exchange agreement where the issuer of the CDS will compensate the buyer if the buyer’s asset defaults (similar to investment insurance). Essentially investors were buying credit default swaps as insurance for their mortgage backed securities. Once the real estate bubble popped, everyone came to claim insurance for their MBS that just went bankrupt. AIG had over $500 billion in subprime mortgages on their balance sheet. Its officials were revaluing credit default swaps and losses started to pile up at AIG. By May of 2008 AIG had suffered a first quarter loss of roughly $8 billion, their largest loss ever. Hank Paulson knew that if AIG went bankrupt it would trigger the collapse of financial institutions that bought these credit default swaps.
As the MBS tied to the swaps defaulted, AIG was forced to come up with the capital to repay their investors. Shareholders started dumping their shares which made it even more difficult for AIG to produce the capital it needed. Even though they had the assets on their balance sheet to cover the losses, AIG could not liquidate them fast enough before the swaps were due. It was clear that they were about to go bankrupt. Hank Paulson and Ben Bernanke did not want AIG’s huge influence to hurt lower and middle class families since AIG sold lots bonds, annuities, and insurance products to these people. An AIG bankruptcy would’ve hurt lower and middle class families as well as the whole financial sector which owned credit default swaps issued by AIG. They were just too big to fail. So the Federal Reserve along with the U.S. Treasury planned a bailout of an $85 billion loan to AIG. To put that loan amount into perspective, “Eighty-five billion dollars was more than the annual budget of Singapore and Taiwan combined; who could understand a figure that size.”
The loan itself was not enough to calm the markets. Investors were left puzzled as to why the federal government would bailout one company and not the other. What were the rules for a bailout? Did Hank Paulson’s background as a top executive at Goldman Sachs have anything to do with the government allowing Lehman Brothers, a competitor of Goldman, to collapse? These questions forced Hank Paulson, Ben Bernanke, and Tim Geithner, president of the New York Federal Reserve Bank, to come up with a solution to calm confusion. Now with the whole financial sector on the verge of collapsing the Treasury and Federal Reserve came up with a fiscal policy to purchase toxic assets from nine of the largest financial institutions in order to stabilize them. The institutions include J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Bank of New York Mellon, Merrill Lynch, Bank of America, and State Street Corp. The program to bail them out was known as TARP. However congress was not too attached to the idea of bailing out Wall Street. Republicans saw a bailout as socialism creeping into the United States, and Democrats saw it as Paulson bailing out his Wall Street buddies. Congress voted against TARP and the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell roughly 800 points that day.
Paulson, Bernanke, and Geithner went back to the drawing board. Now desperate for a solution Paulson decided to follow the advice of his assistant Neel Kashkari, which was to purchase equity in the nine largest banks in the United States. Paulson reached out to Sheila Bair who was the head of the Federal Depositors Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and told her about the Treasury Department’s new plan. Sheila agreed to increase the nine bank’s coverage limit.
Without wasting any time Hank Paulson, Treasury Secretary of the United States, called all the nine executives together for a meeting at the NY Federal Reserve. “It was the first time - perhaps the only time - that the nine most powerful CEOs in American Finance and the people who regulate them would be in the same room at the same time.” Without knowing what the meeting was about, the CEO’s of all nine banks had shown up. To stress the severity and seriousness of the meeting, Paulson had brought along with him the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, the president of the NY Fed, and The head of the FDIC. Paulson unveiled his plan to purchase up to $250 million in preferred stock in the leading banks in order to stabilize them and restore confidence. He strong armed all of them into taking the deal even though a few of them claim that they did not need the capital, such as Wells Fargo and J.P. Morgan. He also informed the banks that the collapse of Lehman Brothers will spillover into other banks, Merrill Lynch was of most concern. Paulson agreed to let Merrill get bought out by Bank of America in order to save them. They were sold to Bank of America for $29 per share or $50 billion far from their 52 week high of $88 per share. The banks had agreed to the deal and so did Congress on October 3rd, 2008 President George Bush signed the TARP program into law. The program normalized the big banks and brought back investor confidence in Wall Street.
The following year, President Barack Obama introduced legislation that would transform the whole financial regulatory system. This act was known as the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. One specific provision known as the Volker rule forbids banks from making speculative investments that do not benefit their consumers. This type of overhaul has not been seen in the U.S. financial system since the Great Depression of 1929. In regards to the subprime mortgage crisis, the United States’ Congress, Treasury, and Federal Reserve acted appropriately however they should have acted more quickly and effectively like Jerome Powell’s Federal Reserve has during the COVID-19 crisis.
Some say because of the catastrophe in 2008 and the lessons we have learned, the U.S. The Treasury and Federal Reserve acted the way they did in 2020. Thus far, they both have combated the current financial market crisis with immediate action. If the Federal Reserve and Treasury could’ve bailout Bear Stearns, Lehman, AIG, and Merrill Lynch the way that they bailed out Boeing, that would have been the best case scenario. In March of 2020 Boeing Co. the airplane manufacturer went to Washington with its hands out begging for a bailout. The company had spent $50 billion on stock repurchases within the past year and now was asking for a $60 billion bailout. Instead of giving the company a direct handout, the Federal Reserve boosted liquidity in the credit markets by purchasing corporate bonds, thus, Boeing was able to secure $25 billion from private investors via the corporate bond market and withdrew its original request for a government bailout. Despite the 33 million unemployed, many people are applauding Jerome Powell and Steven Mnuchin for quickly passing emergency monetary policy measures. Like 2008, these policy measures have insulated the financial markets from total ruin.

I was in the same position when I was young as you are now. What I would tell my younger self is to stop poisoning your mind by starting with reading tactics and stategies and instead start with the real basics: You start with Logic & Math.
Sounds dumb I know but the first things you should get a grip on are probability theory and game theory including heuristic. If you understand the processes and concepts behind it you learn how to get a grip on uncertaintly, stategy and decision making with insufficent information. Something I would call the grand fondation.
The next thing is to estabish a critical mindset, questioning everything. Everything. Whenever somone presents you a concept you should strife to take it apart until you understand which core assumtions its based on, what its limits are and what cababilites it has. Personally I think Math is perfect for that again as by focusing on practical apprications it additionally deepens your understanding of things and happenings in the world.
Then you start playing games which circle around ranged combat. As different as possible: Go play Airsoft, play strategy games, play shooters. There you push all the thing aside someone told you, you read or else. You purely focus on what works and what not and play concepts around it to why. By interconeccting a wide variety of games to a bigger picutre of understanding a net develops that now can stand some literature.
Now is the point to decide what you are interested in and get literature for it. A would again suggest variety as it help to not get biased and be more open minded. Or maybe you cant really decide then you might want to start with classics like Clausewitz: On War, Sun Tzu: Art of War or maybe something more concrete like Infatry Attacks from Rommel.
When you do all that and then start studing one book after another time flys by and it wont take long until your hit your legal age. Since your interest held so long and you proably build up a quite decent understanding of military tactics you might want to consider to enlist and become an officer.
Here you have it. My life plan for you. I hope you put it to good use\^\^ | r/militarystrategy | comment | r/MilitaryStrategy | 2020-05-18 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6V2VNRTlDV2J3ZXB0YzdQVTFYU2E5anB2cDQzUmFEdWJOV1FBMGlOejR5LU16djNkWWFLd3lRTnh5UGlhVGZSUXJuX2RETW5sM1hvRFl3NnB1ZmlVUXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EUmRFbDh6Sll1a2xfSWo3S2JNTVlzWnkyWlpaYy1SaUFXUFZuMWtZSU9rcVI5VDFpN3ZBQjZtNUlCZWNYZkdIdmJsVlpjZmxrNU5mcl82WU03WTcxY2p1bnMxMnk0VjJBNno0WEt4X1JHRkZKVG9uaUgyMkJJMktjOWJzQ25Qbk81azNPWlNCcjRXOGN3Y0Ntb1hURXBfWkp4SmExWTNkQmpEZXZGSE1JMXdUWS1lc01IaDdMbW9vRnFkVXRibGljN2JsSkFiaFRvcWl5VjRQVjJKeTg0UT09 |

It's really great to see some of the fantastic OC and helpful content being added here. Please keep up the amazing work.
On to the matters at hand
#Thoughts + Requests
It's always disappointing when you come across a great comment and try to find it again, only to find it's been removed by some butthurt mod. So aside from making this a hub for great arguments and knowledge, let's also make this an ARCHIVE too - a repository and backup of great informative/useful content, by yourself or others.
So my request is that we try to avoid crossposting wherever possible - because if a user wipes their comment history, or a mod nukes a comment thread, or an entire post simply vanishes, or a whole sub gets banned, or a site is inaccessible, then we'll just have a lovely collection of dead links that lead to nowhere.
So let's NOT crosspost anymore. Although I will not disable crossposting for now, I would really like for all of us to avoid using it unless you're in a hurry and will repost it properly later.
#Rules
So keeping the above thoughts in mind, I have made some changes in the rules. The main changes are:
* **DO NOT MAKE A POST WITH ONLY A LINK.** Please copy the entire relevant section of text here. FORMAT the post. And then add a link at the end to your source for context/courtesy, but please keep the text here. (This makes it easier to use for people on subs with filters for various sources). We also want to keep the sub searchable and indexed with any keyword that may be in your source. Remember that comments/posts in other subs may be removed by mods/admins. Help us archive good arguments here.
* **Please avoid using the "crosspost" feature as much as possible.** For the same reason as above: comments/posts in other subs may be removed by mods/admins. Help us archive good arguments here.
Now, I really don't want to hinder any of you from participating, but I also don't want this place to just become a dumping ground for links that we can't scan though quickly, or search for, using keywords.
So, I've formally made this a rule, AND I've added some tweaks to automod, who will be removing posts that violate this rule. Automod is not totally foolproof though, so:
* if you see someone breaking a rule, report them.
* if you feel your post was unfairly removed by automod becoming all-powerful, then please message the mod team. We'll fix it.
#To all the new users
**THANK YOU for coming here and helping us.**
Keep fighting the good fight. Spread the word about this sub.
Defeat disinformation, narratives, irrationality, and delusion,
by using facts, logic, reason, and reality.
And if you're struggling with how to tackle an argument, come here and search!
You guys are all champs.

Most of us would have heard this term “Free Trade”. But, what does it imply?
Well, it basically means that there are no government restrictions with regards to import and export of goods.
Free Trade is quite a promising way to boost or revive the economy especially in developing counties. So, if you are looking towards getting products from China, then [Tradaxx](https://www.tradaxx.com/) which is a service provider helps you to get hold of the closest manufacturing candidates on your behalf. Hence, it work wonders towards ending the possibilities of associated risks arising out of quality or cost. Similarly, it ensures a hassle free time right through the process of knowing the production details to getting the exact products which you have been promised. Yes, considering the geographical boundaries with thousands of kilometers, you really don’t want to take any chance. Isn’t it?
**Improvement in quality of life**
Free trade ensures that there is an improvement in quality of life. Importing goods on most occasions tend to be cheaper than producing on their own. So, overall they get cheaper goods which they otherwise have to spend comparably a lot of their hard earned money. Also, there are various nations which lack the resources of converting raw materials towards consumer goods. So, free trade also opens to the highlight of how friendly neighbors can actually create a wonderful state of happiness and ease, by importing goods more often.
**Improvement in the production efficiency**
Free trade can help developing countries by improving their production efficiency. Although, there are various nations which have capability of producing goods as well as services, yet due to lack of resources they are unable to do. This is where free trade bridges the gap.
**Economic resources are enhanced**
Developing countries have found the best way to be financially independent because of the free trade. Yes, they can better be able to use the resources especially that of capital, land or labor by providing goods and getting back their share of return. Even though developing nations have limited resources, but they can very well better, make the most of it towards the prosperity of their nation. The state of being happy can be achieved through obtaining the economic resources which are necessary to produce consumers good and services.
**Development of close relations with neighboring countries**
Yes, free trade also throws light on how great relations between different courtiers can have, where free trade is going on. Yes, when two countries indulge in free trade, it also shows the “unity” on an international scale. Also, it gives a positive and a clear signal about the strength of two counties when clubbed together. This also removes any loopholes or chances of atrocities by developed nations of the world
**Final thoughts**
Through the above post, we have seen how great the importance of free trade has been on the economy of the country. We also now know that the country’s security aspect gets further enhanced and consolidated which further speak about the ways and methods for a healthier and stronger country | r/internationaltrade | post | r/Internationaltrade | 2020-07-07 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6clJVZk5NY0ZxcjFoZ0FxNHNUcHFkYXRsRVhjNml5TW1hMzN6OWJfT2ZuSlJfRDc2akZONW5WSEJIX0o5YnAxQmRIUVZyNzZvVW1vbnZkRUtxZm5uNmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EWjM5VDVBZXdSOHE0aEpqN0JDNFc5V21jSVhFQmJ2X1I0Z085UjlyanV2Y082dnZraXFOTXRkX0g2blZHdDhLZ09JZVdRZEtaU2tqUXZ4SDVvZFVZVUNZYnNwXzVmQzQzYVN4dHZ1NTBSaHhsWFdYVzBjUmZSSk5qbGt4REJjVkEtU0FSbk5NUVRiWk5vbTZhLUU5TzByTWM1QktUMXhwdW94cmFkQlVSTGMzdzZZa080dW50eXZSY2dzWHhfYlREX3VNSUlzc3BRZ2gxUktCNW1ObllEZz09 |
The world is taken aback from the Covid 19 epidemic as there has been a massive humanitarian crisis. It has literally taken the whole world by storm. Yes, the virus is further going to create an alarming proportion especially as it spreads its tentacles in those countries which are comparable weaker in health care. The reports of rising cases from world over are as alarming, as one wouldn’t have literally thought of, in his wildest of dreams. Similarly, it is also the uncertainty which is hovering large due to the epidemic where people have queries such as
​
* “How long will this epidemic long last?
* When things will completely be normal, like before?
* There has also been a concern that what if the second wave of virus starts?
Based on the current scenario, it is though clear, that we have to live with the threat for some time. Even though there has been quite promising news coming where people are recovering as well. Although, one can’t rule out the fact that there is a grim picture too, this is very dreading and threatening.
Despite that there has been lots of uncertainty, it is also true that based on the importance of current statistics, following actions and measures should be taken
**Inculcate confidence and boost yourself in trade**
There is the need for a policy where there should be things such as “smooth flow” of trade policy. It can only be done with the help of international cooperation so that the trade flow can be done.
Here, [Tradaxx](https://www.tradaxx.com/), which is a service provider based in China, has an immense role to play towards completing the formalities for people desirous to get the products right at the comfort of their homes, from China.
Of course, “Trade Boost” can be done by taking care of different aspects and measures which are a must as a safety precaution. The concerned authorities are dealing with the steps in view of the epidemic as they are also assessing the impact which these actions are likely to bring for dealing with the prevailing crisis. Especially, that of agrifood production
**At least the essential items should ensure a global supply chain**
The importance of key essentials including medical supplies can’t be ruled out. However, there have been hurdles towards ensuring the same. Especially, as the cancellation of flights has also stopped the process of air cargo. Unfortunately, the price of essentials have skyrocketed which has directly increased the price of air cargo.
**Ports have also changed their protocol**
Due to the prevailing epidemic, protocols have been changed. Yes, over 50 countries have done the same and these measures are in the form of either closing the port, or adding to the list of additional actions in terms of documentations, examination as part of quarantine measures. In order to ensure a speedy process, there have also been counties which have started “green lanes” during entry as well as crossing of borders for smooth flow | r/internationaltrade | post | r/Internationaltrade | 2020-07-07 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6UkVBRjZDWHprZzBaTlNkRTgwWktNTk5tdTFzdldnQVpfWFptVXJ5WE1MMDltMlFJemFLNU9pVXRIX1JIWlR6YUdzNWp1WVZOM1FGbU9rS2QzZGZPdmc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9ENkt0clE1QjJyMTc3S3JKZWc5QllvYjNNQWxHVmxDc0U3b3FDR2t4eFN3TlhmNEQwTk02QWkzODhkSmVTeVJvVU1yRThkcThqRDlVSTBqWGxINkVqZzVVd2plMEZfNGFRZmdPYVk4OEhzQWFRVGxlXzZiajR2Q0l3R0NqS0tpWmJ3aklkRGluQS1UUnN4RGdhNlVyRnRmVGFxT3BPdTdqNExSWmFNV2x3SlI2Qk1yRHYyOEFfNEJaOG9tcDdobTRkbXpqX0VNZDZVYzJsd2lsdUdxQm1Jdz09 |

Hello all, I have worked for one of the bigger Customs brokers in Canada doing release, accounting and post entry on imports for the past ten years.
I have recently moved into the private sector to a company which oversees a high volume of both import and export. Export is new to me but I have made adjustments and it has become apparent to me that it would be a great asset to attain the US CCS (again, for working for an exporter). I already have my Canadian CCS add found it very useful along with Advanced Excel and Access courses, but am currious if there have been any other industry certifications that have come of great use to anyone transitioning from working for a broker to directly into the private sector for an importer/exporter? We deal with brokers, freight forwarders, carriers, purchasing agents and several other entities. I have already decided on the US CCS and attaining the CTCS to stay on top of my import knowledge but hope to expand to better compliment my career pivot. There are so many out there I would like to avoid money grabs if possible, but it's hard to distinguish. If there is any input on your experience with any useful or not so useful certifications I would really appreciate it. I would like to add that I realize it's generally not the certification that gets you ahead, there is no shortcut and it is the pursuit of excellence coupled with circumstances which might dictate one's career . With that being said there may be gems and duds and this might be a good platform to identify opportunities and avoid wasting time. Here are a few off the top.
CIFFA
PLOG
US CCS
Broker License (I only qualify for the Canadian)
Is there something for CSA or CTPAT?

Can, B., Hougaard, J. L., & Pourpounehnajafabadi, M. (2020). On Reward Sharing in Blockchain Mining Pools. Department of Food and Resource Economics, University of Copenhagen. IFRO Working Paper , No. 2020/09
**Abstract**
This paper proposes a conceptual framework for the analysis of reward sharing schemes in mining pools, such as those associated with Bitcoin. The framework is centered around the reported shares in a pool instead of agents and results in two new fairness criteria, absolute and relative redistribution. These criteria impose that the addition of a share to the pool affects all previous shares in the same way, either in absolute amount or in relative ratio. We characterize two large classes of economically viable reward sharing schemes corresponding to each of these fairness criteria in turn. We further show that the intersection of these classes brings about a generalization of the the well-known proportional scheme, which also leads to a new characterization of the proportional scheme as a corollary.
Keywords: Blockchain, Bitcoin, fairness, mining pools, resource allocation, mechanism design.

Firstly we mods want to thank the continued support of our subscribers. There are a few things we'd like to address though.
1. Please follow all rules. The main violations are the jokes. We will be much more proactive in taking them down.
2. If there is already a post about something then don't repost a different article with the same story unless It adds substantial new information about the story. (Like the 83 posts about Kim being in a coma this week that all had essentially the same text and quoutes in the story) It only serves to clutter up the page and bury other interesting articles.
3. DO NOT INSULT OTHER USERS. Attack ideas, not people. Slurs and threats will get instant bans no questions asked.
4. Try to provide sources when asked. Let's not add more misinformation to this subject than is already out there.
5. Unless US politics like Trump have something directly to do with the article try not to turn all discussions into a Trump sucks or Trump is the best shitshow.
We want to try to get this ship in shape so we can start to get some AMAs in here like we used to do all the time. If you see any violations or something that should be brought to our attention then report it but don't forget to include WHY you are reporting it. Reports are anonymous and if you feel the need to message the mods we will not give out your name so do not think twice about that.
Now, with that being said what grievances do you, our subscribers have or ideas you'd like to implement.. We are always looking forward to making the sub better.
Sincerely,

"It is a **disrespect to the negotiations under** ***Russia's mediation*** and another embodiment of Armenian fascism. These heinous actions can never break the will of the Azerbaijani people!" he pledged.
A **humanitarian truce had been declared on Saturday for the exchange of prisoners and retrieval of bodies in Upper Karabakh, or Nagorno-Karabakh**, an internationally recognized territory of Azerbaijan.
The armistice came after *a trilateral meeting in Moscow on Friday between the foreign ministers of Russia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia*.
The fresh clashes began on Sept. 27 when Armenian forces targeted civilian Azerbaijani settlements and military positions in the region, leading to casualties.
Many world powers, including **Russia**, France, and the US, **have urged a new cease-fire**. ***Turkey***\*, meanwhile, has supported Baku’s right to self-defense and\* ***demanded the withdrawal of Armenia’s occupying forces*** | r/globalpolitics | comment | r/GlobalPolitics | 2020-10-12 | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lakx6VTNTeG5NOHpMWEx4M0VYZHpDY3FGUHdobXBQbng1RmFJRUxOdjRZVDBFbjhKY1JoMkxPc2MybVNRLUNCMWVQcTJLeS1JSFlUR3pDNm96cWlWMXVXOXc9PQ== | Z0FBQUFBQm5Lak9EbFp3c1F0VmVjbnFRYm5ESjVtMlEwdmRvSi1Xd0ZnY1ZmN3BrVGlpT2NyTVBuZ2hJeF8zZlJtOFJYVDdiV1JNNGJfRm91QkxITWtOb0RLZGx0c1JTdXVUQWlUOG1hUEhOUldHeEViT0M1cGlkS3BXSEE2T1hoUXR0Ulg4MEplTDIxeHhNN09LcEdTdEdHZ2RsMFRjcEpCa2RURTZWTnd1UzVVenlEblBzTnBvUW1jZVN1bmVPOUM4NGFBZjdsZ2FSWE1OaDMzWHBuSHIzanFzdG1zUGNNZTB5V0tRMWdKemNCOV92NDlTMGlwcz0= |
That’s the guy that Bolton overtly threatened; the US wanted the OPCW to *not* do their job and enforce international law. Because they knew any investigation would contradict their claim they Saddam Hussein has WMDs.

Dear friends, I have a problem with the methodology of my undergraduate research project and would appreciate some help a lot.
I am conducting some tests to observe if there are impacts of the central bank’s repo balance in Brazil on monetary policy transmission. My approach is based on the estimation of a SVAR and its comparison with a similar SVAR with additional restriction. To be more precise, I estimate the first SVAR with the contemporaneous effect of repo over consumption “turned on”, then I “turn It off” and compare the models’ impulse-response functions. These procedures are somewhat related to what you may find in Lettau, Ludvigson & Steindel (2002).

A problematic factor that I have been facing with this approach involves the fact that the criteria used to decide whether the effect over monetary transmission is relevant or not is the change in the second IRF to a value beyond the 95% CI bands of the first IRF. This *per se* is not a problem. But the fact is that CI bands for these IRFs are very large, what makes almost impossible to consider any change as statistically significant through this methodology. In fact, in another work that I am using to guide my approach (CUNHA ET AL., 2016), the authors use the same strategy to test for monetary policy’s wealth channel, using 14 different types of assets as wealth, and do not come even close to provide evidence for its existence with any of them. Of course this can be just an evidence of the inexistence of the wealth channel in Brazil, but it seems to me that It can also be one more evidence of the difficulty of rejecting H0 that this methodology creates.

​
In the example above, the consumption reaction to a monetary shock differs 270% when repos are “turned off”. However, the inferior CI limit, differs 800% from CI’s average for the “turned on” stage.
With all that said, I would like to ask you guys if there is a way to overcome this problem, or if there is any other methodological approach (undergraduate level) you would propose to investigate this question.
Thanks in advance
