Other trading platforms including CLS and Thomson Reuters , the parent company of Reuters News, have also reported a big rise in trading volumes for 2018 as volatility picked up from multi-year lows, encouraging companies and speculators to trade more currencies. |
In Massachusetts, 65 percent of students graduate with debt, owing on average a whopping $27,181 per student. The class of 2011 is the most indebted class so far, with the future of the following classes looking even more financially grim. Student loan debt has now reached $1 trillion and counting in the United States,... |
Most of us seem to have accepted a crippling amount of debt as a packaged deal with our cap and gown. While college tuitions skyrocket and household incomes continue to level off, students and their families quietly struggle to make ends meet. |
In response, however, there have been no mass protests like the ones seen in Quebec, where last spring students gathered in staggering numbers to protest a five-year, 60 percent tuition hike. There seems to be no noticeable commotion here on campus concerning the debt many of us are going into in order to get an educat... |
Although these sentiments resonate with many of us, it doesn’t mean that students are not angered by their financial situations or that there is not outrage and solidarity in our struggles—it just means that finding the time to organize might not always be easy. And although there appears to be more silence surrounding... |
In fact, there are several groups here at UMass that are establishing an activist presence around issues of student debt and the cost of higher education. Groups such as Public Higher Education Network of Massachusetts (PHENOM) and Center for Education and Policy Advocacy (CEPA) are hard at work, sending letters to sen... |
One group, which I have started with an advisor, called UMass Students Against Debt, is exclusively organized around the student debt crisis. With a focus on graphic art, info-graphics and signage, we use social media— everything from Facebook to Tumblr to Twitter— to make connections, spread knowledge and inspire acti... |
We focus on bringing art and humor to the cause while still motivating the UMass community to speak out about the very real effects of student debt, which can hang over us for decades and even a lifetime. We are moving from URL to IRL (that is, from the Internet to real life) by organizing and bringing dialogues about ... |
The first step in creating social change is being able to name the problem and have the courage to tell one’s story. Then, we can figure out what a different system would look like and find ways to generate the mass movement needed to push things forward. |
We all have a voice, so send us your generation debt testimonies, your student debt mugshots, your stories, poetry and illustrations to help us break the silence. If the 65 percent of Massachusetts’s students set to graduate with debt started to share their stories, our presence could not be ignored. Those who are stru... |

Five-time Olympic volleyball star Danielle Scott was stabbed multiple times trying to protect her sister Stefanie Vallery from her estranged husband Michael Vallery on Sunday night. |
Stefanie, 51, did not survive the attack and police are now searching for Michael, 49. |
Michael and Stefanie were separated but hadn’t finalized their divorce when he showed up at her home in Baton Rouge, La. Scott was at the home when an argument sparked between the couple. |
Things apparently got so out of hand that a friend called Stefanie’s daughter, who is also named Danielle Scott, and she subsequently drove to her mother’s home. |
“He was in a rage. … Things escalated a little more. He left out the house and then (about three minutes later) came back through a window,” Stefanie’s daughter told The Baton Rouge Advocate. “He started stabbing her and we were pulling him off of her and fighting for the knife. |
First responders declared Stefanie dead at the scene while the two-time silver medalist was hospitalized in stable condition. She required surgery and a GoFundMe page has been set up to help pay for her medical bills. |
USA Volleyball confirmed on Wednesday that Scott was a victim in the attack. |

Clinton campaign chair John Podesta in Long Island. |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Poring through thousands of private, stolen emails from Hillary Clinton's confidants has become a daily ritual in Washington. |
The hacked emails — some mundane, others laced with intrigue about election strategy, snarky barbs, whining about salaries or perceived slights — provide an inside, real-time view of the insecurities, sniping and self-promotion that churn beneath the surface of a heated presidential campaign. |
Yet it's also uncharted territory fraught with ethical dilemmas: Should a private individual's stolen correspondence be read? How does someone respond publicly when they're the subject of a private email? Have the emails been altered? |
Nearly every morning since Oct. 7, WikiLeaks has tweeted out an alert that it was publishing on its website another couple thousand messages stolen from the email accounts of John Podesta, chairman of Clinton's presidential campaign. As of Tuesday, it had published more than 31,000 of Podesta's emails dating to 2008. W... |
Donald Trump says he doubts the Russians are behind the cyberattacks. For weeks the Republican nominee has highlighted the contents of the hacked emails on Twitter and in his speeches, as his campaign issues multiple news releases a day. |
Despite Trump's bombast, no bombshell revelation has emerged to significantly alter the presidential race or prompt calls for the Democratic nominee to drop out — as happened with Trump following the leak of a decade-old video of him vulgarly bragging about groping women. |
In a few instances, the messages have actually undercut Trump's talking points. Rather than the well-oiled, octopus-tentacled cartel of international conspiracy painted by Trump, the Clinton Foundation in Podesta's emails is riven by rumors, funding woes and internal feuds — among them a bitter rift between the candida... |
The stolen emails revealed a bitter rift between the candidate's daughter, Chelsea Clinton, and a former aide of her father, former President Bill Clinton. |
While the leaks do underscore the coziness between the Clintons and well-heeled donors, Trump's reliance on the hacked emails has given even some in his own party pause, especially as he has continued to express admiration for Russian President Vladimir Putin. |
"As our intelligence agencies have said, these leaks are an effort by a foreign government to interfere with our electoral process, and I will not indulge it," Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, who backs Trump, said recently in an interview with ABC News. "Further, I want to warn my fellow Republicans who may want to capitaliz... |
The releases from WikiLeaks put journalists in the uncomfortable position of receiving and reviewing stolen property for its potential news value. There has undisputedly been some real news to emerge, such as Clinton's secret Wall Street speech transcripts. |
Emails obtained through public records requests or other official means often contain redactions, but not the WikiLeaks emails. They contain personal financial details, medical information, phone numbers and even an account of purported suicide threats made by a key staffer at the Clinton family foundation. |
Still, media ethicists say, news organizations have little choice but to wade through the daily email dumps looking for news. |
"Journalists must ask themselves, 'To whom do you owe your primary loyalty?' The answer is your audience, the American public," said Kelly McBride, a media ethicist at the Poynter Institute, a journalism education foundation in St. Petersburg, Florida. "Ignore the emails and you fail to serve the American public, and p... |
The stolen emails do provide an unvarnished and sometimes profane glimpse of the inner workings of a campaign that has a reputation for being guarded. |
In a 2015 exchange with Podesta, liberal operative Neera Tanden wrote of Harvard Law School Professor Lawrence Lessig, "I f(asterisk)(asterisk)king hate that guy," calling him a "smug," ''pompous," loathsome man whom a reasonable person might wish "to kick the s(asterisk)(asterisk)t out of on Twitter." |
Lessig, an advocate of campaign finance reform who launched a modest protest campaign for president, wrote on his blog that he got off an airliner after a flight to visit his father to find his email inbox flooded with messages about the hacked exchange. |
"I can't for the life of me see the public good in a leak like this — at least one that reveals no crime or violation of any important public policy," Lessig wrote. "We all deserve privacy. The burdens of public service are insane enough without the perpetual threat that every thought shared with a friend becomes Twitt... |
Tom Cruise’s Mission: Impossible films make up one of the best and biggest movie franchises in history. No one suspected back in 1996 that Mission: Impossible would become a worldwide phenomenon which would spawn five more movies that grossed over $3.5 billion total. That number will likely increase by 50 percent by th... |
Director Christopher McQuarrie has signed on to do the next two films and when that news broke, Cruise took to Instagram to share the confirmation of the movies as well. Earlier this week, Cruise posted a quick video of the initials M and I which had lit fuses on either end of them. In the caption, the two release year... |
McQuarrie helped do the rewrites on Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol which relaunched the franchise in 2011. The director took the reigns on Rogue Nation (2015) and Fallout (2018), a big difference for the films who had been choosing a new director for each flick. Cruise and McQuarrie’s partnership made for some fa... |
There is no word on a plot at this time, but Fallout did seem to close the two-part chapter on The Syndicate, a rogue organization Ethan Hunt had been tracking for years which was run by Solomon Lane. Lane has been regarded as one of the best villains in recent movie history, and although he was not killed at the end o... |
Thank you to everyone who supported Mission: Impossible Fallout in theaters. We have been working on extras and behind the scenes footage and I’m excited to announce that it will be released on digital on November 20 and Blu-ray on December 4. |
As far as the cast for the next two films, Cruise is the only confirmed returner. Rebecca Ferguson, Ving Rhames, and Simon Pegg are likely to return since they became regulars in the past several flicks. Fans are hoping to see Jeremy Renner return as Agent William Brandt as well after he was noticeably absent in Fallou... |
Google has acquired Wildfire Interactive, a social media marketing company, aiming to creating new opportunities for its clients to engage with people across all social services, it said on Tuesday. |
Started four years ago, Wildfire in Redwood City, California, is focused on helping brands optimise their presence across various social networks. It offers a software platform that integrates directly with Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and LinkedIn. |
A number of technology companies are acquiring startups that will help them offer their customers a way to manage their presence on social networks. Oracle acquired last month Involver, whose SML (Social Markup Language) enables developers to create customised marketing applications for social media sites and web campa... |
Salesforce.com said in June it was acquiring social media marketing firm Buddy Media in a $689 million (£439m) cash and stock deal, as it also expands its social media offering for businesses. |

A team from Nagaland Mission Movement (NMM) today held a meeting and interacted with representatives of the Naga Students’ Union Dibrugarh (NSUD) and Naga Christian Fellowship (NCF), Dibrugarh at Naga Patient House (NPH), Dibrugarh. |
NSUD President, Khuvishe Swu and General Secretary, Keneiseno Neihu informed that the meeting was attended by two member representatives from Naga Mission Movement(NMM), Dimapur- Mhasivituo Vüprü, Office Manager and Kiyevi Awomi, Mission Promoter and union advisors from Dimapur and Dibrugarh. |
During the meeting, NSUD, Khuvishe Swu deliberated on the need for a Pastor or Chaplain to cater to the need of the fellowship and Nagas in Dibrugarh adding “both students and employees are temporary” but a full-time worker can be the bridge to lead and provide spiritual guidance. |
The NMM, during the meeting, highlighted the history and guidelines of the NMM and extended positive assurance to look into the need and grievance of the NCF, Dibrugarh and added “a report will be submitted to the Director, NMM and further assistance and requirement will be discussed,” the release added. |
Later, a separate discussion with the union executives and advisors discussed grievances of the Naga students and employees in Dibrugarh regarding the Naga Patient House (NPH) which is in need of facilities and repair. |
“The NSUD which was formerly incepted as Naga Association in 1971 will be observing the Golden Jubilee in 2021, much is needed to be done which will be affected if delayed,” the Union officials further said. |

MC defends new rendition of the garage classic as "raising awareness with young boy racers about how important and easy it is to get insured" |
So Solid Crew rapper Romeo Dunn has re-recorded the garage group’s 2001 hit ’21 Seconds’ for a car insurance firm. Scroll down to watch it. |
The clip was shot for online insurance business Confused.com, and sees the London MC rework lines from the Number One single about a new app offering quotes on car insurance in just 21 seconds. |
The group launched their comeback earlier this year with a performance at London’s IndigO2, featuring original members Megaman, Lisa Maffia, Oxide & Neutrino, MC Harvey and Asher D. |
In July, the band were dropped from the lineup at this year’s Lovebox festival in London. “Yes #LoveBox is canceled because another artist don’t want us on the same stage as them. UK artists blocking SoSolid #Wow,” he tweeted. “We sell out the indigo! we are doing the 02 arena, we gave artist careers and they still tre... |
Members of the Somalia National Army troops based in Baraawe, Shabeellaha Hoose are the latest to join strike following non-payment of salaries for the past four months. |
The Solders abandoned their posts arguing that they can not work without pay. |
Despite the action exposing the areas to insecurity, the government has maintained that they are biometrically registering the soldiers and that they would only be paid at the end of the process. |
Last week, hundreds of troops based in Bal'ad commenced the strike action and refused to go back to their bases despite attempt by the government to persuade them. |
Banana and rum are well-established bedfellows, and for good reason. The natural sweetness of the fruit sits beautifully with the rich, woody tones of a good quality dark rum. Infusing caramel is a delicious way to add a grown up twist to pretty friands, although be warned that the alcohol in this recipe is not burned ... |
To make the caramel, preheat the oven to 220C. Pour the condensed milk into an oven proof dish and sprinkle with the salt. Cover the dish with foil, and place in a larger dish. Fill the dish with water, then bake in the oven for 2 hours, or until the condensed milk has darkened into a gold caramel. Leave to cool. |
For the friands, preheat the oven to 160C. Melt the butter, and use a little of this to brush your friend molds with. Set the remaining butter aside to cool. |
In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy but not yet in soft peaks. Add the almonds, muscavado sugar, icing sugar, flour and baking powder and fold to combine. Add the melted butter, beat, then finely chop the fresh bananas and fold through the mixture. Leave the mixture for 30 minutes to rest. |
Once rested, spoon into the buttered molds and bake in the preheated oven for 20-30 minutes. The friands are baked when they are just golden but coloured slightly around the edges. Transfer to a cooling rack, and brush with a little rum while they are still warm. Leave to cool. |
Spoon 100ml of the caramel into a small bowl, then add the rum and a little extra salt if needed. Drizzle over the friands, and top with a piece of dried banana. |
Colorado wind energy in action (Xcel photo). |
Energy and environmental issues ranked as the top concern for independent voters in Colorado’s recent governor’s race that saw Democrat and renewable-energy champion Jared Polis win in a landslide, according to a poll conducted shortly after the midterm election. |
Andrew Baumann of the national public affairs and Democratic polling firm Global Strategy Group said he was not surprised that approximately 800 Colorado voters surveyed right after the Nov. 6 election focused in so intensely on energy and environmental issues. |
“The surprising thing to me about it is it was a part of the campaign and Polis certainly talked about it some and obviously got attacked on energy and the environment, which just shows you how much those attacks didn’t work … but it certainly wasn’t a centerpiece of the [Polis] effort,” Baumann told RealVail.com. |
Democrats in the same poll (pdf) named health care as their top issue, with energy and environment second, and Republicans chose jobs and the economy as their top issue. Baumann said his read on the polling indicates Polis has a clear mandate amongst both his Democratic base and unaffiliated voters – the largest bloc i... |
That growing urgency on environmental issues in polling over the last several years, Baumann said, stems from several factors. |
The pro-fossil-fuel, anti-regulatory agenda coming out of Trump’s White House is causing a growing sense of unease in Colorado. |
