![]() In June 2007, the legal framework for surveillance underwent a major update with the adoption of the Decision on Bilateral Surveillance over Members’ Policies. For its part, the IMF is charged with (i) overseeing the international monetary system to ensure its effective operation, and (ii) monitoring each member's compliance with its policy obligations under Article IV, Section 1. Under Article IV, member countries undertake to collaborate with the IMF and with one another to promote exchange rate stability. Surveillance in its present form was established by Article IV of the IMF’s Articles of Agreement, as revised in the late 1970s following the collapse of the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates. An explanation for the unprecedented accumulation of reserves by emerging markets in recent years is founded on the idea of self-insurance for precautionary purposes when original sin may be an issue.Ģ007 Decision (also known as Decision on Bilateral Surveillance over Members’ Policies.) As such, these countries are forced to borrow in foreign currencies, which, in turn exposes them to currency risk and potentially balance of payments crises. The name “Bretton Woods II” aims to signal parallels between the unilateral actions of some countries at the present time and the earlier (multilateral) compact that characterised the original Bretton Woods system.Ī concept first introduced by Eichengreen and Hausmann in 1999 and subsequently extended by the authors and Panizza in 20, it refers to the inability of some countries (mainly developing countries) to borrow in their own currencies. Cooper has also noted that the deeper and more sophisticated financial system in advanced countries (in particular, the US) and its more favourable demographics naturally favour such a mixed system. The authors further contend that the system is robust, though others disagree. In particular, the authors noted that differing economic priorities (export-led growth in EMEs and financial liberalization in advanced countries) ensured that the present international monetary system would be a mixed system of fully floating and managed exchange rates. It refers to the unilateral actions by emerging markets, especially in east Asia, to manage their exchange rates with reference to the US dollar. ![]() ![]() JICA provides bilateral aid in the form of Technical Cooperation, Japanese ODA Loans and Grant Aid.An explanation for global imbalances first proposed by Dooley, Folkerts-Landau and Garber. ODA is broadly divided into bilateral aid, in which assistance is given directly to developing countries, and multilateral aid, which is provided through international organizations. After 2018, it is 45% or higher for low-income coutries (LDCs and other LICs), 15% or higher for high-income countries, 10% or higher for multi-institution. Regarding the standards set of Grant element, prior to 2017, it was 25% or higher for all countries and institutions. The lower the interest rate and the longer the maturity period, the higher the grant element, which means it is more beneficial to the borrower. Note: The grant element measures the concessionality or "softness" of financial terms of a loan. Regarding financial cooperation, the grant element of its terms and conditions must meet the standards set by countries and institutions.The main objective is the promotion of economic development and welfare in developing countries. ![]() It should be undertaken by governments or government agencies. ![]()

Off to the left again are transport buttons, backlit of course. NI refers to this controller mapping system as ‘Native Map’, and there are thousands of patches across the Komplete range of instruments which have been mapped to suit the Kontrol keyboard. To the immediate left of the rotary controllers are two buttons to scroll through additional sets of assigned parameters, so you’re not limited to eight parameter controllers per patch. What’s even cooler is the pots are sensitive to capacitance, so the slightest touch of a knob immediately alters the display to reflect the numeric or text status of the assigned parameter. When switched off (or unassigned) they disappear beneath the black translucent panel. These displays seem to be of the OLED variety, and are invisible until turned on. Below each variable pot is a display to represent what each pot is assigned to, and a level display. It’s a great feeling keybed, and one that will probably outlast the electronics surrounding it.Ĭentrally located on the upper panel are eight continuously variable pots which can be freely assigned within the Komplete 10 software instruments to activate or adjust all manner of parameters. The semi-weighted keybed is quite firm to the press, with a solid stop at the bottom end of the key’s travel. It’s the pinnacle of keybeds - with a duty cycle of three million key presses per key. The Italian company has been in the business since the mid 1950s, having started out supplying keyboards to electronic organ manufacturers. The actual keybed is manufactured by Fatar, long-time manufacturers of primo electronic keybeds. So remain aware that this keyboard only functions with a computer attached. These are, however, only accessible when the keyboard is connected to a computer via USB and you instigate the Controller Editor software. The unit includes sustain and expression pedal inputs, and sports real MIDI DIN-plugs for MIDI in and out. Bear in mind the keyboard requires power - no USB power-only option - no doubt due to the plethora of LEDs. With the overall finish a glossy mirror black it looks every bit the modern studio accoutrement (and all those pretty lights… ooh la la!). The S49 presents as quite an attractive piece of hardware - it’s a very impressive effort when you consider this is Native Instruments’ first crack at a keyboard, but then remember, NI has put some pretty sturdy runs on the board with Traktor and Maschine. Included in the review setup was a Komplete 10 software package which, in itself, is a formidable sonic arsenal, but again, more on that later. In terms of sound generation, the S-series are strictly controller keyboards, and are designed to helm the Komplete suite of virtual instruments and sample players. ![]() For review purposes I received the 49-key, S-49 model. The Komplete Kontrol keyboards come in three typical keybed sizes: 25, 49, or 61 key models, dubbed S25, S49, and S61 respectively. Much sensation indeed! However there’s more to ‘Light Guide’ than whiz-bang lighting effects, and I’ll expand on those features a bit later, in the meantime, let’s look at the more traditional features of the Komplete Kontrol series. If sci-fi aesthetics are your thing the Komplete Kontrol keyboards are the only keyboard worth owning. Absolutely fantastic look, and perfectly suited to a dimly lit studio atmosphere. Upon boot-up this array of lights goes through a Las Vegas display, pulsating every colour the system allows, blue, red, green, purple, yellow, orange etc, before settling into a subtle blueish hue. Every key on the keyboard has a multiple colour LED situated at the rear of each key. The Komplete Kontrol keyboards sport this crazy feature called ‘Light Guide’. With the various sized Kontrol S-Series keyboards, NI has gone utterly berserk with LED lighting - this thing lights up like the Sydney Harbour Bridge on New Year’s Eve. I honestly thought I’d seen everything there was to see in the world of controller keyboards, but Native Instruments’ Komplete Kontrol controllers have relieved me of that claim. ![]() ![]() Comparison of stellar photometry to SDSS shows that within a coadded image, the photometry is flat to within a few percent.

Center: average ellipticity distributions. Left: average PSF size (FWHM) distributions. The wide range of limiting magnitudes in i-band is due to the large range in moon phase and sky brightness. Average ellipticities, taken as the average absolute amount of ellipticity regardless of angle, are always less than 10%. ![]() The seeing constraints for the filters observed in dark time (u, g, r) are reflected in the relatively narrow PSF size distributions, while the distribution in i-band is much broader since it is the only filter observed under bright conditions. The following figure shows for each filter the obtained PSF size (FWHM), PSF ellipticity, and limiting magnitudes (5 σ AB in 2'' aperture) distributions for the data included in the KiDS-ESO-DR1 release. The exposure times and observing constraints for all filters are listed in the table below. All KiDS observations are queue-scheduled and matched to the seeing distribution at Paranal, with the best dark conditions used for r-band. ![]() ![]() ![]() The image below shows how to connect the Geekcreit 0.91 inch OLED I2C display to Arduino.

In 2019 the Tacoma Dome earned a spot on the list of the highest attended concert venues in the world, hitting 600,000 people. Twenty-one years ago the Tacoma Dome became the largest dome in the state due to the implosion of the Kingdome in Seattle in March of 2000. Additionally, the Tacoma Dome has also been known to hold regional high school sporting events and local high school graduation ceremonies. ![]() David Bowie became the first musical event in August of 1983 and has since been followed by a variety of other famous artists such as Justin Bieber, Willie Nelson, Bruce Springsteen, Janet Jackson, NSYNC* and MC Hammer, just to name a few. What happened a few short months later in august quickly encouraged the idea of Tacoma becoming a central music capital in the Pacific Northwest. The first ever event that was scheduled in the freshly-built Tacoma Dome was a week long event, “World’s Toughest Rodeo”. From rodeos and concerts to sporting events you can bet that the Tacoma Dome has hosted it in the 38 years since it has been constructed. The Tacoma Dome is an arena that hosts many different types of events every year. Each of these prefabricated triangular units weighs 5,000 pounds, and there are 288 of them in the structure. ![]() This particular system uses “framework out of triangular units of timber laminated and glued together, called glulams. This particularĭome was created based on the Varaz System developed by architectures from Western Wood Structures based in Beaverton Oregon. The wood that was used to construct the Dome came from trees that were fallen Douglas Fir trees due to the eruption of Mount St. What may not be common knowledge is where the materials came from to begin construction on the Tacoma Dome. In fact it is the largest wooden dome arena in the world by volume compared to the Superior Dome in Michigan which is larger in diameter. The Tacoma Dome is unique for various reasons but one of the most commonly known facts about this arena is that it is primarily made of wood. This arena can welcome up to 23,000 people with assorted configurations. The Tacoma Dome first opened its venue doors in April of 1983 as one of the first largest wood domed structures in the world. ![]() When someone brings up the idea of a large concert event in Washington there are typically three venues that are mentioned: the Key Arena (now Climate Pledge Arena), The Gorge Amphitheater and the Tacoma Dome. The Seattle music scene extends deep but what many be overlooked is Tacoma, also known as the City of Destiny. Rightfully so, Seattle is the largest city in Washington and has heavy musical ties and culture.

Its head-spinning, mind palace–plumbing narrative is so rich and textured - and the Gothic shadow-and-fog production is so spot-on - that I’m tempted to say it’s the Best Episode Ever. “The Abominable Bride” is the most purely entertaining episode of Sherlock since the second season. Transplanted into the past, can Sherlock shake up musty ol’ Baker Street enough to thrill us present-day fans? This is the first major pop-culture event of 2016, people. I don’t have to tell you that this episode is set in the original Sir Arthur Conan Doyle era, which hasn’t been on the small screen in any extended fashion for more than 20 years. Instead, this one-off holiday special is meant to tide us over until the fourth season debuts in 2017.
