Nuveen
Nuveen is an American asset manager and wholly owned subsidiary of financial planning firm TIAA, itself known for its legacy focus on managing money for not-for-profit institutions such as universities and their employees. As a consequence of integration efforts over the last several years, Nuveen (or branded sub-affiliates) now manage the entirety of TIAA's own capital as well as all capital sourced from third parties. It is one of a limited number of non-sovereign money managers globally that have exceeded one trillion dollars in assets under management in recent years, and one of only a few that are not part of a larger organization offering retail or institutional banking at scale. Nuveen was founded in Chicago, Illinois in 1898 and originally focused solely on municipal bond underwriting and investments. While its investments today span nearly all major areas of capital markets, it is known for its size and influence in domestic fixed income generally, tax advantaged municipal bonds in particular and private real estate. The firm also runs several sustainable investing strategies that feature prominently in its marketing and media efforts. The firm's three major offices globally are Chicago (headquarters of Nuveen proper), Charlotte (headquarters of parent TIAA) as well as New York (home to many market facing employees). Dozens of smaller offices are maintained around the world to support regionally specific concerns.

Knights of Columbus
The Knights of Columbus (K of C) is a Catholic fraternal lay organization started in Connecticut in 1881. Father Michael J. McGivney wanted to provide a Catholic alternative to secret societies (such as Freemasonry) and to support the families of men who died while working in factories. The organization grew quickly as men were drawn to the ideals of serving the church and living with loyalty, charity, and respect for others. The fraternity was named after Christopher Columbus as proof of their patriotism to the U. S. Priests may supervise meetings, but they are not allowed to join, as they are already under orders through the church. Although membership is limited to “practical” Catholic men, the Knights of Columbus are known for their work outside the Catholic Church, as well. The K of C worked to quell religious prejudice, starting with anti-Catholic sentiment and extending into freedom-of-religion causes. Since before World War I, they have supported military service members with recreational facilities and, later, job placement. They were also instrumental in adding “under God” to the Pledge of Allegiance. The K of C cannot endorse political candidates, but they are active in both political and moral causes such as the pro-life movement, religious freedom, racial equality, immigration, and a biblical view of marriage. Applicants to the Knights of Columbus must be 18 years of age or older and in good standing with the Holy See, and they must accept the teaching authority of the Catholic Church. Boys between 10 and 18 can join Columbian Squires. Some councils have women’s auxiliary groups. Beyond participating in the various service fields, members are eligible for life, long-term care, and disability insurance. The four degrees of membership in the Knights of Columbus are based on four principles: charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. There are also leadership positions, from Assembly Commander to Supreme Master, and a color guard which marches in parades.

U.S. Oil-Crash Study to Avoid Blaming Traders as Probe Continues
A highly anticipated U.S. government report on the April 20 oil crash will stop short of blaming any specific traders or firms, and refrain from recommending structural changes for the crude market, said three people familiar with the matter.
so in other words…bidness as usual.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission review, which could be released as soon as next week, will chronicle the day’s unusual market dynamics and its trading flows, said the people. Yet it won’t draw a firm conclusion for what caused oil to plunge to -$37 a barrel – the first time it ever traded at a negative price.
The document the product of a lengthy analysis by economists and market-oversight officials isn’t binding, so it won’t prevent a CFTC chief appointed by President-elect Joe Biden from pursuing tougher rules. Plus, a key factor that might influence future policy decisions wasn’t incorporated into the report: an ongoing investigation by the CFTC’s enforcement division into whether manipulative or reckless trading contributed to crude’s nosedive.
Pressure has been mounting on the CFTC to get to the bottom of what triggered the unprecedented plunge in West Texas Intermediate futures – the world’s most-widely traded oil instrument. While prices bounced back a few hours later, retail investors, brokers and oil-producing nations were all among the day’s losers. CFTC Chairman Heath Tarbert, a Republican picked by President Donald Trump, has said the agency is conducting a “deep dive” into what happened. A CFTC spokeswoman declined to comment. The report will focus heavily on macroeconomic factors such as the impact that the coronavirus pandemic had on demand for oil, said the people who asked not to be named in discussing a document that isn’t yet public. It will also reference the lack of storage space in Cushing, Oklahoma, where holders of expiring WTI contracts are obligated to take physical delivery of crude, the people said.
In addition to not proposing oil-market structural reforms, the report refrains from suggesting revisions to specific contracts, the people said. The document, which still could change before it’s published, also won’t name specific firms or traders. Since WTI’s historic plunge, market participants themselves have made changes. Many clearinghouses now limit how much of the nearest contract exchange-traded funds and passive oil funds can accumulate and models have been adjusted to account for negative prices. Meanwhile, a glut in crude that contributed to the price decline has receded and demand has bounced back with an uptick in economic activity.
Within the CFTC, the report has been the subject of fierce debate, with some officials arguing that its publication should be delayed until the agency finishes its examination into whether misconduct contributed to oil’s crash. The squabbling underscores the balancing act the agency faces in providing a swift assessment of what happened, while thoroughly probing potential wrongdoing. A few months after the 2010 flash crash for stocks and futures, the CFTC published a joint report with the Securities and Exchange Commission that largely pinned the blame for the temporary market collapse on macro-economic conditions and a reckless order by a Kansas mutual fund. That conclusion was called into question in 2015, when the CFTC brought a case against British trader Navinder Singh Sarao suggesting his manipulative trading had helped cause the tumult.
In August, Bloomberg News reported that the CFTC, the U.K.’s Financial Conduct Authority and CME Group Inc. owner of the Nymex exchange where WTI contracts trade were examining whether actions tied to U.K.-based Vega Capital London Ltd. may have breached regulations and allowed traders at the firm to make a $500 million windfall on April 20. Vega hasn’t responded to multiple requests for comment about its trading. Vega’s profits involved instruments called trade at settlement, or TAS, according to people familiar with the matter. When using the products, buyers and sellers agree to transact at wherever the price ends up at 2:30 pm on settlement days such as April 20, when the closing price for a monthly contract is determined. The CFTC report will discuss the TAS mechanism, the people said, but it won’t detail how trading of the instruments by any specific parties may have impacted the price of oil.

SAM062 USAF C-40B departed Peterson AFB, Colo. Springs after an overnight it's moving a t a good clip but think the speed is being displayed incorrectly.
The 747 (82-8000) earlier had it's speed displayed at over 600kts earlier so take these figures with a grain of salt at present.
They have tried a version of that before but declined to go as far as saying it was specifically that in the past.
the one that keeps tabs of bred #'s via pen and paper-crosses them off when done
The "marathon" baker-as if that hadn't been done by many prior to them doing it-including you
No baker has ever rec'd the amount of fawning those faggots manufacture for themselves…ever.
yes all good-gotta do doggo before dark though
yes that did not escape muh eyes either.
The end result will be them running out of manufactured BS-which has already habbened for the most part.
Now it's the fall out of managing a narrative crafted by pure fabrication.
They think I'm frb and frb is me at times.

yep..could not agree moar
most don't care and why should they?
They have made it much harder for the ones who have limited time and just get on to either get info or post digs.
Now they have that shit to wade through all the time.
As far as an alternative (if this goes down) muh attitude is that I will see you all on the other side at some point so I won't sweat it much.
