International banks provide various services to facilitate international trade and foreign exchange transactions for their clients. These services include trade financing, foreign exchange, hedging currency risk, and consulting. International banks have different types of offices depending on the country's regulations, including correspondent banks, representative offices, branches, subsidiaries, affiliates, and offshore centers. The international debt crisis of the 1980s was caused by developing countries taking on large debts from international banks that they struggled to repay when oil prices collapsed. The crisis was eventually resolved through debt restructuring and new types of bonds.

Big Data @ CBS for Fontys students in EindhovenPiet J.H. Daas
This document summarizes the experiences of Statistics Netherlands with big data. It discusses two types of data - primary data from their own surveys and secondary data from other sources like administrative records and big data. It provides examples of exploratory big data studies conducted using road sensor data, mobile phone data, and social media data. It finds that combining IT skills with statistical methodology is important for working with big data. Skills in data science, machine learning, and extracting information from diverse sources like text and images are needed. The document also discusses lessons learned regarding the types of big data, accessing and analyzing large volumes of data, dealing with noisy and unstructured data, and moving beyond simple correlation.
Using Road Sensor Data for Official Statistics: towards a Big Data MethodologyPiet J.H. Daas
This document discusses using road sensor data for official statistics in the Netherlands. It describes challenges around dealing with large volumes of data, creating historical time series, and ensuring accuracy. A statistical process is outlined that cleans, transforms, selects, estimates from and frames the raw road sensor data, which records over 230 million vehicle counts per day. Key steps include selecting only necessary variables from valid data on main routes, putting daily records together, cleaning using recursive Bayesian estimation and a hidden Markov model, and estimating traffic indices from the cleaned data.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.

Este documento describe dos estrategias pedagógicas utilizadas en una clase de orientación escolar: el aprendizaje basado en vivencias y el aprendizaje flexible. El aprendizaje basado en vivencias implica analizar situaciones prácticas para construir nuevos conocimientos, mientras que el aprendizaje flexible se adapta a las características individuales de cada estudiante. También se mencionan otras estrategias como el aprendizaje invertido y el uso de herramientas TIC. El objetivo general es lograr aprendizajes significativos en

También describe los fundamentos, principios de educación y psicopedagógicos del diseño curricular nacional, así como el proceso de diversificación curricular a nivel regional, local e institucional. Finalmente, presenta las características de un diseño curricular nacional diversificable como flexible
CPU Optimizations in the CERN Cloud - February 2016Belmiro Moreira
This document discusses CPU optimizations for virtual machines (VMs) running on the CERN Cloud using OpenStack. Initially, VMs saw around 20% lower performance than bare metal hosts due to virtualization overhead. Through various optimizations including disabling EPT, enabling NUMA awareness and huge page sizes, virtualization overhead was reduced to around 3-5% on VMs compared to bare metal, allowing high-performance computing workloads to run effectively on the CERN Cloud. While challenging to detect during testing, these optimizations were critical to deploying VMs for production HPC workloads with performance near that of physical hardware.
This document provides an overview of the letterpress printing process and discusses how two Toronto printing companies, Flash Reproductions and Anstey Book Binding, have maintained letterpress departments despite the decline of letterpress in commercial printing. Both companies find that letterpress allows them to produce high-quality, specialized work and that there is a growing interest in letterpress among younger designers and consumers interested in craftsmanship. The document also profiles a book artist, George Walker, who continues to use letterpress in his studio.
DanTech is a UK-based technology company that is expanding its operations to the US through a joint venture called DanEast Ltd. DanTech will invoice US dollar exports through DanEast and import Japanese yen costs. Changes in the GBP/USD and GBP/JPY exchange rates present foreign exchange risk to DanTech's profits. The treasury manager recommends hedging techniques like money markets, forwards/futures, and options to manage this risk.
