Which medium sized British bank was the first victim of the financial crisis? | One of the first victims was Northern Rock, a medium-sized British bank. The highly leveraged nature of its business led the bank to request security from the Bank of England. This in turn led to investor panic and a bank run in mid-September 2007. Calls by Liberal Democrat Treasury Spokesman Vince Cable to nationalise the institution were initially ignored; in February 2008, however, the British government (having failed to find a private sector buyer) relented, and the bank was taken into public hands. Northern Rock's problems proved to be an early indication of the troubles that would soon befall other banks and financial institutions. |

Where in London are the Mappin Terraces | Pastscape - Detailed Result: MAPPIN TERRACES MORE INFORMATION & SOURCES + / - The Mappin Terraces in London Zoo are the largest and most prominent of the Zoo's animal enclosures and were designed to provide a naturalistic habitat for bears and other mountain wildlife. It has housed polar bears, Ibex and snow leopards. The terraces were designed by Sir Peter Chalmers Mitchell in 1913-14, who was the Secretary of the London Zoological Society from 1903-35 and funded by John Newton Mappin. The architect was John James Joass, engineer Alexander Drew and the contractors D G Somerville and Company. The enclosure comprises a three tiered quadrant with hills, built of reinforced concrete constructed on the Kahn system -a method of concrete reinforcement invented by Julius Kahn in 1903. The quadrant has a radius of 87 metres with concentric enclosures and terraces radiating and rising from the inner angle, forming three levels of animal enclosures divided by public paths. The lowest level originally had four deer paddocks but was later increased to six and a pond originally for fowl, later used for penguins. The middle level comprised six bear enclosures, fronted by a dry ditch with spikey slate parapets to prevent climbing. Larger pools in the outside dens were glazed so polar bears could be viewed swimming. The upper level comprises four artificial mountains up to 21 metres in height. Water tanks serving the Aquarium (Monument HOB UID 619103) which is situated underneath the terraces, are located within the interior of the 'mountains'. The terraces were renovated and resurfaced by the architect John Toovey in 1968-72 and closed in 1985. (1-2) In 2008 the Mappin Terraces were opened as part of the Outback exhibit and houses wallabies and emus. (3-4) It is known that James Pulham and Son, a well-reputed firm of landscape gardeners had worked for the London Zoological Society at London Zoo. There is, however, some confusion over which exhibits they worked on. It is commonly thought they were responsible for some of the rockwork on the Mappin Terraces but a Zoological Society account book which covers the period of construction of the Terraces does not document any payments to James Pulham and Son. However, they were paid for the installation of rockwork in other exhibits including the Polar Bears' Enclosure (Monument HOB UID 1508628) in 1910 and for the Coypu Pond - now known as the Prairie Marmot Enclosure (Monument HOB UID 1507946) in 1913. (5) The national Pulham database for London Zoo (ID number 224) mentions the possiblity that James Robert Pulham (1873-1957) probably with James Pulham III (1845-1920) worked on the Mappin Terraces. The site has subsequently been published in the gazetteer. (6) SOURCE TEXT |

Is Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) an alcohol? | When people refer to "alcohol", they could mean 3 things: 1. Ethanol, grain alcohol, or alcoholic drinks 2. Simple aliphatic alcohols like methanol, ethanol, isopropanol, t-butanol, et cetera. 3. Any compound with an -OH group In the strictly technical sense (3) yes, THC is an alcohol, but not in either of the more common senses (1 & 2). Any organic compound that has an -OH group could be called an alcohol. Looking up the structure, THC a phenolic alcohol, which means that -OH has different properties than an aliphatic alcohol, but either way, the technical answer to your question is yes. Is it useful to classify it that way? Probably not. There are many other compounds that also would qualify as alcohols by the same metric, including sugar (sucrose, fructose), DNA, bisphenol A, capsaicin, salicylic acid, etc... Calling THC an alcohol doesn't really tell you much useful information other than "it has an OH group somewhere" |

How are some of the same CPU/GPU's better than others, and what is the silicon lottery? | unlike digital product which you can get a absolute result, manufacturing is a analog process. anything that is analog have a +/- % ratio. for example, a resistor have many grades, its tolerance range from a +/- 20% result to a +/- 0.1%. this mean that a 100ohmz resistor of the cheapest grade which give a tolerance of +/- 20% would give you inbetween 80ohmz resistor to a 120ohmz resistor. this goes to the same thing for analog processes. as you know CPU and GPU are billions of transistors and they have resistors circuit in them, there is bound to have such predictable grade in batches. so yes, it is a luck based scenario when you buy a chip or gfx. |

USA Today calculated the cost by adding expenses including home ownership, children, groceries, retirement planning, and health care .
It's estimated only 1 in 8 households can afford the American Dream .
Fewer families believe the Dream is in their reach, according to recent survey . | A new analysis shows that only 1 in 8 families could afford the cost of living what's commonly known as the American Dream in 2014. Inspired by the new book 'Chasing the American Dream,' about the cost of the financial crisis, housing bubble, and Great Recession, reporters at USA Today calculated the cost of all those elements that make up the American Dream. For the project they included the costs of home ownership, moderate-cost groceries, a car, health insurance, taxes, educational expenses for your children, and retirement planning. A new study shows only one family in eight can afford home ownership, children, retirement savings, and all the other things typically promised in the American Dream . They reached an average total of $130,357 per year in household income. Here's how USA Today broke down the average expenses to live comfortably and raise children: . Home ownership - $17,062 per year . Groceries - $12,659 for a . family of four . Transportation - $11,039 a year for a four-wheel-drive SUV . Health Care - An average of $9,144 for out-of-pocket costs and premiums . Total taxes - Roughly 30 per cent of all income . Education - $4,000 per year for two children plus approximately $2,500 per child for college savings . Retirement - The maximum pretax contribution to a retirement plan for people under . 50 in this income level is approximately $17,500 . In a country where the median household income is roughly $51,000, that's a dream well out of reach for most people. In fact only 16 million households in America earned that much last year. Thomas Hirschl, a professor at Cornell University who co-authored the book, noted that most people surveyed did not desire to become one of the 1 per cent of earners, only to have a decent life. 'It's not about getting rich and . making a lot of money. It's about security,' he said. He added that they also wanted to see their children succeed. 'They want to feel that their children are going to have a . better life than they do,' Hirschl added. There are however massive variables depending on where one lives, with cities like Indianapolis and Tulsa being far more affordable than New York or San Francisco when you take taxes and housing costs into account. They also noted that some groups - immigrants for instance - often lived with extended families that helped share the load. Some business owners are even beginning to publicly speak out. Recently, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz announced a policy to help provide a college education for his employees. 'In the last few years, we have . seen the fracturing of the American dream,' he told reporters. And studies show more Americans understand their situations. A 2008 Brookings Institution poll showed roughly three-quarters of Americans said that the American Dream was harder to attain. |

A U.S. official says defector's claims about al Qaeda cooperation are "consistent"
Nawaf al-Fares, former Syrian ambassador to Iraq, is the highest-ranking diplomatic defector .
"I tried to convince the regime ... to change its treatment of the people," he says .
Syria denies accusations of massacres and attacking civilians . | The most senior Syrian diplomat to defect and publicly embrace his country's uprising is calling for a foreign military intervention to topple President Bashar al-Assad. He also accused the Damascus regime of collaborating with al Qaeda militants against opponents both in Syria and in neighboring Iraq. "I support military intervention because I know the nature of this regime," Nawaf al-Fares told CNN. "This regime will only go by force." Until a few days ago, Fares was Syria's top man in Baghdad. His defection marks a shocking about-face for an official who occupied a critically important post. Until Fares was sent to Iraq in 2008, Syria had no ambassador stationed in Baghdad for more than 20 years. "I was at the top of the Syrian regime," Fares said in his first interview with a U.S.-based TV network since his defection. "But what happened in the last year during the holy revolution, all of the killing, the massacres, the refugees, and the declaration of war by Bashar al-Assad against the Syrian people, stopped any kind of hope for reform or real change, which had been promised previously by Bashar al-Assad. "I tried during the last year and a half to convince the regime to change its treatment of the people," Fares added. "But I wasn't successful, so I decided to join the people." Opposition calls on Obama to act now . Damascus confirmed news of Fares' defection in a short article published by Syria's state news agency SANA, which announced that the ambassador had effectively been fired for leaving the Syrian Embassy in Baghdad without official authorization. Prior to his diplomatic assignment in Iraq, Fares served as a provincial governor in different parts of Syria for a decade. He was also a regional boss in Syria's ruling Baath Party. Photographs on Syrian government websites as well as from Fares' personal collection show that on more than one occasion, this native of the eastern city of Deir Ezzor reported directly to the Syrian president. In an interview that lasted for nearly two hours in the gilded halls of a luxury hotel in the Qatari capital, Fares laid the blame for large-scale allegations of human rights abuses in Syria squarely at the feet of the country's president. "The regime in Syria is a totalitarian regime and a dictatorship. There is only one person who gives the orders: one person who is the president," Fares said. Iran offers to host talks . Syria's state news agency has maintained that "armed terrorist groups" are behind the violence, which the United Nations estimates has killed more than 10,000 people since March 2011. CNN cannot independently verify reports from Syria, including Fares' allegations, because the nation has restricted access by international journalists. Syrian opposition leaders applauded the very public departure of such a high-ranking Syrian official because it clearly embarrasses and weakens the Damascus regime. But they appeared reluctant to invite one of al-Assad's trusted lieutenants into the ranks of the opposition movement. "We don't reject him because we want everyone to quit the ship," said former Syrian National Council chairman Burhan Ghalioun, who spoke to CNN in the lobby of the same Doha hotel where Fares was staying under Qatari protection. Ghalioun insisted he did not know the former Syrian ambassador was sharing the same quarters. "But we cannot put him in a political position (in the opposition) ... no one will accept Tlas or Fares at the head of the movement," Ghalioun added. The activist was referring to Gen. Manaf Tlas. Like Fares, Tlas is a Sunni Muslim who once held a high rank in an Alawite-dominated regime. He abandoned the Syrian government and fled into exile just days before Fares' departure. "I know General Tlas. ... There is friendship between us," said Fares. "But there has been no coordination between me and him in terms of defecting." Throughout the interview, Fares played down growing sectarian divisions between the ruling Alawite minority and the Sunni majority, who make up much of the current uprising. He also rejected the Syrian government's common claim that the rebellion is being led by militants from al Qaeda. Instead, he accused Damascus of cooperating closely with al Qaeda militants, ever since the U.S. invasion of neighboring Iraq in 2003. "The Syrian regime felt threatened and felt that it, too, might fall," Fares recalled. "So they had an agreement with al Qaeda to keep the road open to Iraq. The militants started coming from all over the world through Syria, under the eyes of the Syrian secret police, which are directly responsible for the killing of thousands of Iraqis in Iraq as well as Americans and coalition forces. "The secret police were encouraging enthusiastic young people in Syria to go for jihad in Iraq and join al Qaeda," Fares continued. "Bashar al-Assad and his security forces are directly responsible for the killing of thousands and thousands of Iraqis and coalition forces, because he gave al Qaeda everything it needed. He trained and provided shelter and he built safe havens for them to hide in." One of these "safe havens," Fares said, was the Syrian border village of al Sukariya, near the border city of Abu Kamal. In response to the accusations, a senior U.S. administration official said that Fares' claims about the Syrian government 's cooperation with al Qaeda during the war in Iraq are "broadly consistent with our understanding." "Since 2003, al-Assad allowed al Qaeda and associates to facilitate weapons, money and fighters to al Qaeda's Iraq-based affiliate, setting the conditions for those same elements to shift from Syria-based facilitation to active attacks -- this time focused against the al-Assad regime," the official said. "This emerging al Qaeda operational presence in country bolsters our own argument that the sooner al-Assad leaves, the better," said the official, noting that that the current al Qaeda-linked effort in Syria is small and not representative of either the opposition or the broader population. In October of 2008, the U.S. government claimed responsibility for a controversial cross-border raid into Syria near Abu Kamal. U.S. officials later told CNN that special forces soldiers and helicopter gunships targeted an Iraqi man named Abu Ghadiya, who they called "the top facilitator of al Qaeda foreign fighters into Iraq." At the time, the Syrian government angrily protested the violation of its airspace and what it said was the killing of eight civilians. Four years later, however, Fares claimed the American forces had in fact struck an al Qaeda training camp run by one of al-Assad's close relatives by marriage. "This was a hiding place for al-Qaeda on the border with Iraq, and it was under the control of Assif Shawkat, the brother-in-law of the president," Fares said. "One hour after the raid, Assif Shawkat was there at the location. A conversation took place between me and him ... and he was angry about the attack made against al Sukariya and he was kind of scared," Fares recalled. Claims like this, which CNN cannot independently confirm, will likely make the former Syrian ambassador a much sought-after asset for Western intelligence agencies, as well as for the Qatari government. Doha has publicly lobbied for arming Syrian rebels against the al-Assad regime. Fares went on to repeat a long-stated Syrian opposition accusation: that the Syrian government is staging al Qaeda-style attacks in Syria as a fear-mongering tactic. The former ambassador was reluctant to explain the details of how he escaped from Baghdad to Doha. He said he timed his departure with the escape of his wife and grown children from Syria. But he had a message to the Syrian president and his former colleagues in the government. "My former colleagues, I ask them to join the people and leave this corrupt regime. There is still time," Fares said. "To Bashar al-Assad, I say you don't know history. Two wills cannot be defeated: the will of God and the will of the people. ... History will curse you for the crimes you committed in Syria." |
