Agia Marina, Nicosia

Agia Marina (Greek: Άγια Μαρίνα) is a village located in the Nicosia District of Cyprus, around 40 km (25 mi) west of Nicosia.


Franz Vranitzky

Franz Vranitzky (German: [fʁants vʁaˈnɪtski]; born 4 October 1937) is an Austrian politician. A member of the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ), he was Chancellor of Austria from 1986 to 1997.

Early life and career

As the son of a foundryman, Vranitzky was born into humble circumstances in Vienna's 17th district. He attended the Realgymnasium Geblergasse and studied economics, graduating in 1960. He financed his studies teaching Latin and English and as a construction worker.

As a young man, Vranitzky played basketball and was a member of Austria's national team, which in 1960 unsuccessfully tried to qualify for the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome.

In 1962 he joined the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ).

In 1962, Vranitzky married Christine Christen, with whom he fathered two children.

Vranitzky began his career in 1961 at Siemens-Schuckert, but within the year switched to Austria’s central bank Oesterreichische Nationalbank. In 1969, he received a doctorate in International business studies. The following year, Hannes Androsch, finance minister under Chancellor Bruno Kreisky, appointed him economic and financial advisor. Vranitzky served as deputy director of the Creditanstalt-Bankverein (1976–1981), briefly as its director general and as director general of the Länderbank (1981–1984).

In 1984, Vranitzky joined the SPÖ-Freedom Party (FPÖ) government coalition under Chancellor Fred Sinowatz as finance minister. He was criticized for receiving multiple compensations from his various functions in government-run businesses.

Chancellor of Austria

In the presidential elections of 1986, Chancellor Sinowatz vociferously opposed Kurt Waldheim, the candidate of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP) opposition. The former UN Secretary General's campaign for office caused international controversy due to allegations about his role as a German army officer in World War II. When Waldheim was elected on 8 June, Sinowatz resigned from the government, proposing Vranitzky as his successor.


Franz Vranitzky

Vranitzky entered his new office on 16 June 1986. At first he continued the government coalition with the Freedom Party. On 13 September 1986, however, radical FPÖ politician Jörg Haider was elected chairman of his party, ousting the moderate vice chancellor Norbert Steger. Vranitzky ended cooperation with his coalition partner and had parliament dissolved.

In the subsequent elections on 23 November 1986, the SPÖ remained the strongest party. In January 1987, Vranitzky formed a government, based on a grand coalition with the second-largest party, the Christian democrat ÖVP, with Alois Mock serving as vice-chancellor and foreign minister. In 1988, Vranitzky also succeeded Fred Sinowatz as chairman of his party.

Until 1992, Austria's foreign policy had to deal with the repercussions of the Waldheim controversy, as the Austrian president was shunned in some diplomatic circles. The United States regarded Waldheim as a persona non grata, thereby barring him from entering the country in 1987, while Israel had recalled its ambassador after Waldheim's election. Vranitzky managed to normalise Austria's relations with both countries and frequently stepped in to perform diplomatic duties commonly assigned to the president.

On 8 July 1991, in a speech in parliament, Vranitzky acknowledged a share in the responsibility for the pain brought, not by Austria as a state, but by citizens of this country, upon other people and peoples", thereby departing from the hitherto official portrayal of Austria as "Hitler's first victim."

Franz Vranitzky and Otto Stich, 1986

After the end of the Cold War, Vranitzky focused on furthering relations with the nations of Eastern Europe and membership in the European Union, of which Vranitzky and his foreign minister, Alois Mock, were strong advocates. After a referendum on 12 June 1994 resulted in 66% in favour of EU membership, Austria joined the European Union in January 1995. Austria's military neutrality, which had been espoused during the Cold War, was reaffirmed in the process.


Franz Vranitzky

In party politics, Vranitzky kept his distance from Jörg Haider's Freedom Party – a stance the latter decried as a "policy of exclusion." In the election of 1990, Vranitzky's coalition government was confirmed when the Social Democrat vote remained stable while the ÖVP lost 17 seats, mainly to the FPÖ. The 1994 election saw heavy losses by both coalition parties, which nonetheless remained the two largest parties, while FPÖ and others made further gains. Vranitzky renewed the coalition with the ÖVP, which after May 1995 was led by foreign minister Wolfgang Schüssel. Later in the year, the grand coalition broke apart over budget policy, leading to the elections of December 1995, which however only saw slight changes in favor of SPÖ and ÖVP. Vranitzky and Schüssel resumed their coalition in March 1996.

In January 1997, Vranitzky resigned as chancellor and as party chairman.Viktor Klima.

Later activities

After leaving office, Vranitzky served as Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe representative for Albania from March to October 1997,WestLB bank. In December, he was elected to the board of governors of automotive supplier Magna. He later occupied the same position for the tourism company TUI and Magic Life hotels.

In June 2005, he donated one of his kidneys to his wife Christine, who suffered from chronic kidney failure.

He actively supported his party's frontrunner Alfred Gusenbauer in the 2006 elections. During the campaign it was revealed, that in 1999, Vranitzky had received a million Austrian schillings as a consultant to the BAWAG bank, which was then under public scrutiny. It was alleged that the payment was made without any service in return

Vranitzky chairs the quarterly Vranitzky colloquia, organised by the study group WiWiPol, which discusses economic topics and their impact on Austria and Europe. He is a former member of the Steering Committee of the Bilderberg Group.

Allinge Church

Allinge Church, Bornholm

Allinge Church (Danish: Allinge Kirke) is the parish church of Allinge-Sandvig on the Danish island of Bornholm. It stands at the centre of Allinge on a hill some 11 metres above sealevel. Initially just a small granite longhouse from the around the 14th century, in 1892 it was completely rebuilt in the Neogothic style.

History

The earliest documented record of the church dates from 1569 when it was known as "Alende Capell" (Alende Chapel). With the Reformation it passed from the Archbishopric of Lund to the Danish crown but is now fully independent. Until 1941, it was an annex to Sankt Ols Kirke.

Architecture

The late-Gothic longhouse, the oldest section of the structure, is built of rough granite fieldstone with brick-framed wall openings. The upper rounded arches of the old north and south doors have been almost completely removed by more recent windows while the arched windows which, together with the north door, can be seen in a painting of the church from c. 1750. The tower, which is rather narrower than the longhouse, dates from the 16th century. The west door is from 1865 when the upper part of the tower was rebuilt.

In 1892, the church was comprehensively renovated by Mathias Bidstrup. The entire eastern part was torn down and replaced by two transepts and, at the far eastern end, a chancel. Further interior restoration work, including repainting, was carried out in 1992 by Jørn Appel from Rønne.

The roof is tiled in old oak. The outer walls are limewashed over and painted yellow.

Artifacts and fittings

The altarpiece, of which only the base remains, is from c. 1625. It has now been relocated at the far end of the chancel. The granite font is from 1890. The Renaissance pulpit from 1650 is decorated with ten carved panels, four of which contain statues of the evangelists. The western gallery is new, replacing an earlier structure. The Frobenius organ, now in the north transept, dates from 1962.

Arlinda Locklear

Arlinda Locklear (born 1951) is an American lawyer of Native American origin from the Lumbee tribe. Locklear, who is often cited as the first Native American woman to argue a case before the U.S. Supreme Court, has actually followed in the footsteps of Lyda Conley (ca. 1869 – 1946), who was the first Native American and Native American woman admitted to argue a case before the US Supreme Court. Locklear is noted as an expert in Native American law and tribal recognition litigation. She represented the Lumbee tribe in its quest for federal recognition from 1987 until 2010.

Early life

Locklear was born in 1951 to Edsel Locklear and Mary Elizabeth Revels, both members of the Lumbee.Fort Bragg, and she spent most of her youth in Charleston, where her father worked with the navy.

In 1983, Locklear became the first Native American woman to argue a case before the United States Supreme Court.Solem v. Barlett, Locklear successfully defended the right of the Sioux people to try their own residents for crimes committed on reservation territory. Two years later, Locklear successfully argued the case of Oneida Indian Nation v. County of Oneida, leading the Supreme Court to decide that the State of New York had wrongfully taken possession of lands belonging to the Oneida tribe.


Arlinda Locklear

Among her other legal victories, Locklear recounts one of her proudest moments as stemming from a case for the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation in Arizona, filed during the late 1970s. The reservation was dry and arid at the time, with the reservation suffering from lack of water due to legal issues with water rights. Locklear and the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation won their case in 1990, and the land around the reservation has since been "in bloom and cultivated".

In the late 1980s, Locklear became involved in the Lumbee tribe's battle for federal recognition. In 1885, the tribe had been legally acknowledged by the state of North Carolina, but not the United States government.pro bono. She testified before Congress multiple times. In 1995, she came close to victory when the House of Representatives passed a bill for the formal recognition of the Lumbee, but the bill was ultimately stalled by the Senate.Lewin International, which had recently signed a business contract with the tribe.

After 1988, Locklear worked for the law firm Patton Boggs, LLC, in Washington D.C., while also establishing her own private practice.

The state of the art dbFX platformFX market.

On June 1, 2006, Euromoney, a leading institutional investor and international finance magazine, provided the context for the disruptive nature of Deutsche Bank’s dbFX platform.

“Deutsche Bank’s dbFX platform, formally announced on May 15, appears to herald a new phase. Deutsche’s move has got tongues wagging about which bank will be next. Gossip suggests it will be UBS. Direct access to the [FX] market has generally been over the phone.”

History

Deutsche Bank was founded in 1870 as a specialist bank for foreign trade. In October 2001, Deutsche Bank listed its stock on the New York Stock Exchange, the first NYSE listing after the September 11 attacks. From 2002-2005, Deutsche Bank expanded rapidly through acquisitions of Rued Blass & Cie private bank, German Norisbank, Berliner Bank, and Deutsche Postbank, and Russian investment bank United Financial Group, achieving a target return on equity of 25%, and becoming one of the world's nine largest bulge bracket investment banks, and the world's largest foreign exchange provider.

By mid 2005, Deutsche Bank was in search of new and innovative ways to continue growing its global presence, and its market share of global foreign exchange trading, while meeting the increasing client demand for streamlined access to capital market products.

Launch


DBFX

Launch

The idea for dbFX came from the executive management of one of Deutsche Bank's largest clients, FXCM, then the market leader in online margin FX trading, with a growing institutional footprint. A team led by Senior Managing Director Jayme Illien successfully proposed and structured a global strategic partnership with Deutsche Bank to establish and launch dbFX.

dbFX was initially launched with 10-20 countries with Illien as the founding global head of dbFX. He hand-picked, trained, and led a global cross-functional team across sales, trading, risk management, research, compliance, operations, and technology to launch and expand dbFX into 180+ countries, legal and regulatory jurisdictions, and nine languages.

dbFX offered the ability to trade on “one click” real time streaming executable quotes 24 hours a day at spreads as low as 1.5 pips on 34 currency pairs directly from the interbank market, the 1000 largest and most active foreign exchange banks in the world.

Deutsche Bank was the counterparty to all trades. All client funds were held at Deutsche Bank AG and protected by the Deposit Protection Fund of the Association of German Banks.

From 2006-2008, dbFX became the fastest growing business within Deutsche Bank, and a major contributor to Deutsche Bank's reign as the world's largest provider of foreign exchange trading from 2005-2013.

Many of the original dbFX leadership and team are now CEOs, managing directors, global heads, and senior executive leaders at the world's leading fintech companies, hedge funds, FX desks, and global financial institutions.

Closure

Against the backdrop of the global financial crisis of 2007-2008, and the subsequent changing regulations of global financial markets, including the Dodd–Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, and the Basel III capital and liquidity standards, Deutsche Bank decided to discontinue dbFX, and a portion of dbFX business was acquired by Gain Capital, a leading global provider of online trading.

Deutsche Bank released a statement about dbFX:


DBFX

Deutsche Bank released a statement about dbFX:

“dbFX volumes grew every year since 2006 culminating with 2010 volumes 56% higher than 2009. dbFX has been a strongly performing business for Deutsche Bank but has reached a point where in order to reach its full potential it requires significant investment in specific resources which are not consistent with Deutsche Bank’s current strategic initiatives.”

Speculation about why Deutsche Bank sold dbFX to Gain Capital has ranged, and included new global markets and financial regulations, lower corporate risk tolerance considering the bank's losses and exposure to the housing credit bubble and subprime and CDO market, Deutsche Bank management changes in response to the global financial crisis, and issues regarding competitive threats to profitability with incumbent Deutsche Bank businesses.

Services

dbFX clients received access to award-winning multi asset Deutsche Bank research including in depth economic resources, special forex reports, and daily reports covering economic developments, real time FX news and market commentary. dbFX clients could also trade directly from charts, connect to dbfx by API, implement algorithmic, black box, automatic, and artificial intelligence based trading programs, invest with Deutsche Bank FX select portfolio of money managers, as well as access trading in multiple asset classes including equities, equity derivatives, and commodities trading.

Trading platform

The dbFX trading platform was provided under a global strategic partnership from FXCM and was available in nine languages including English, Chinese, Arabic, German, Spanish, French and Russian. Features included integrated charts, hedging with no FIFO restrictions, different order types, real-time account summary and 24-hour reporting.

Aitchison Commission

The Aitchison Commission (Public Service Commission) was set up in 1886 under the chairmanship of Sir Charles Umpherston Aitchison, the lieutenant governor of Punjab, to examine the circumstances under which Indians could be appointed to higher posts in public service previously reserved for Europeans.

Background

The commission made the following recommendations in its report submitted in 1887:

 1. The two-tier classification of civil services into covenanted and uncovenanted should be replaced by a three-tier classification: Imperial, provincial and subordinate civil services.
 2. The maximum age for entry into civil services should be 23 years.
 3. The statutory civil service system of recruitment should be abolished.
 4. The competitive exam should not be held simultaneously in England and India
 5. Certain percentage of posts in the imperial civil service should be filled by promotion of the members of provincial civil service.

The above recommendations were implemented in 1892,


Allimore Green

Allimore Green is a small hamlet in Staffordshire, England, 1 mile north-east of Church Eaton.

It is the location of a Site of Special Scientific Interest, a Common of Wetland Meadow, in the care of the Staffordshire Wildlife Trust. The site supports more than 140 species of vascular plants including 5 orchids, two of which are found nowhere else in Staffordshire.

As a parish common, the site experienced a chequered history of management with local parishioners grazing their livestock and cutting hay, and reports of gypsies regularly using the Common for their horses and coppicing the alder trees. There have also been attempts to drain the site by excavating ditches on three sides of the Common and a central ditch through the southern half of the pasture. Fortunately these attempts have not been successful - the Common still has poor drainage with the ironic added benefit of several areas of open water habitat.

Somewhat appropriately, the name Allimore means 'the path through the marsh'.

DBLCI Optimum Yield Index

In May 2006, Deutsche Bank launched a new set of commodity index products called the Deutsche Bank Liquid Commodities Indices Optimum Yield, or DBLCI-OY'. The DBLCI-OY indices are available for 24 commodities drawn from the energy, precious metals, industrial metals, agricultural and livestock sectors. A DBLCI-OY index based on the DBLCI benchmark weights is also available and the optimum yield technology has also been applied to the energy, precious metals, industrial metals and agricultural sector indices. Like the DBLCI, the DBLCI-OY is available in USD, EUR, GBP and JPY on a hedged and un-hedge basis. The DBLCI-OY is rebalanced on the fifth index business day of November when each commodity is adjusted to its base weight. The DBLCI-OY is also listed as an exchange-traded fund (ETF) on the American Stock Exchange.

Methodology

The rationale of the Optimum Yield technology was to address the dynamic nature of commodity forward curves. Unstable forward curves has meant the traditional approach employed by commodity indices, namely rolling futures contracts on a predefined scheduled (e.g. monthly) has, in our view, become an inferior strategy for passive commodity index investing. The DBLCI-OY indices are designed to select the futures contacts that either maximises the positive roll yield in backwardated term structures or minimises the negative roll yield in contangoed markets from the list of tradeable futures that expire in the next 13 months.

The changing pattern in commodity term structures has important implications for commodity index investing. Historically the engine room of performance within a commodity index has derived from the positive roll return generated in the energy sector due to the tendency for forward curves in this part of the commodity complex to be downward sloping or backwardated. However, the appearance of contango in the crude oil term structure over the past three years has meant the benefits of a positive roll return have disappeared and have been replaced by a negative roll return.

Reception


Gangsta Blues

Reception

Kelefa Sanneh of The New York Times described the music as "acoustic-guitar laments and joyful digital dancehall", and in Sanneh's view the album is "full of witty reggae protest songs".Vibe's Rob Kenner regarded it as Stephens' best album to date.Allmusic writer Rick Anderson gave it two and half stars out of five, describing the rhythms as "expert but not exactly revelatory ", and the lyrics "mostly a predictable mix of defensive braggadocio and by-the-numbers slackness", but picking out "Little White Lie", "What's Your Story", and "It's a Pity" for particular praise.

The DBK Historic Railway is a preserved railway association in Crailsheim, Germany.

Founded as the "Kocher Valley Steam Railway" (Dampfbahn Kochertal) in 1985 at Sulzbach-Laufen, it moved gradually into the former steam engine locomotive depot (Bahnbetriebswerk or Bw) at Crailsheim. In May 2006, there were over 100 members. The museum has many railway vehicles, some of which are operational, including steam locomotives and diesel locomotives as well as passenger coaches and goods wagons. These include a working DRG Class 64 tank engine, no. 64 419, a DRB Class 50 wartime tender locomotive (not operational), no. 50 3545, and a DB Class V 100 diesel, no. 212 084.

It also offers special trips in historic trains between Schorndorf and Rudersberg.

A major project, which has been undertaken with state aid, is the rebuilding of a turntable in the marshalling yard at Crailsheim station.
