Seminario Cultura Statistica - Caserta 27 ottobre 2016Waarom Marc Rich gratie kreeg van Clinton
In 2001 gebeurde er op het eerste zicht iets vreemds. De in België geboren Marc Reich – of beter Marc Rich zoals hij zichzelf later noemde – kreeg van William ‘Bill’ Clinton gratie. Volgens sommigen de meest controversiele gratieverlening sinds Gerald Ford de belaagde Richard Nixon diezelfde gunst verleende.
Reich had nochtans heel wat op zijn kerfstok. Hij werd veroordeeld voor de grootste oplichting ooit van de belastingen in de VS. Pittig detail. Openbaar aanklager in die zaak was de voormalige burgemeester van New York: Rudolph Giuliani.
De filosofie van Reich – net zoals die van zoveel oplichters – is bijzonder eenvoudig. ‘Ik ben rijk en ik ga nog rijker worden’. Dat vertelt Martin Auerbach, die de zaak mee voor het gerecht hielp brengen in de jaren ’80. Kortom, Reich had een totaal misprijzen voor welke wettelijke bepaling ook die een beperking zou kunnen stellen aan dat onbeperkt ‘rijker worden’.
Het kroonstuk op het werk van Reich was de enorme zwendel met olie in dezelfde periode. Reich kocht in het geheim miljoenen barrels – relatief goedkope – ruwe olie uit Texas op. Op dat moment tijdens de oliecrisis gold een erg strikte prijscontrole. Reich trok zich uiteraard niets aan van die controles – een belemmering om nog rijker te worden, weet je wel – en verkocht de olie op de open markt met een vermoedelijke winst van 100 miljoen dollar. Tegelijk deed hij handel met het Iraanse regime van Ayatollah Khomeini terwijl Amerika een strikt embargo had uitgevaardigd. Door die handel tikte het spaarpotje van Reich aardig aan.
Via fraude en oplichting kon Reich alles samen het niet misse bedrag van 7 miljard dollar bijeenbrengen. Alleen kon hij de VS niet meer in. Dat veranderde dus in zijn voordeel met de gratieverlening van Clinton.
Volgens Sherman Skolnick heeft die gratieverlening alles te maken met de nauwe banden tussen Reich en de Clintons enerzijds en de CIA anderzijds. In feite was Reich sinds het begin van zijn louche zaken immuun aangezien hij een vertrouwensman was van de CIA. Giuliani zou dit pas – tot zijn grote spijt – veel later vernomen hebben.
Rich overleed in 2013.

Message Series - ADVENTure - Part 3 - Jesus Came To Bring Us To God - 12-18-16
This message is Part 3 of the series “ADVENTure” by Pastor Chuck Bernal. In this message titled, "Jesus Came To Bring Us To God", Pastor Chuck talks about how the birth of Christ was part of God's intentional plan to save the world.
Using four key words: Sinful, Separated, Sentenced & Saved, Pastor Chuck explains how each one of us can come to know God personally and experience the greatest gift ever given - Jesus Himself.

CHI 2015 paper by Steven Houben and Nicolai Marquardt
Abstract:
People increasingly use smartwatches in tandem with other devices such as smartphones, laptops or tablets. This allows for novel cross-device applications that use the watch as both input device and output display. However, despite the increasing availability of smartwatches, prototyping cross-device watch-centric applications remains a challenging task. Developers are limited in the applications they can explore as available toolkits provide only limited access to different types of input sensors for cross-device interactions. To address this problem, we introduce WatchConnect, a toolkit for rapidly prototyping cross-device applications and interaction techniques with smartwatches. The toolkit provides developers with (i) an extendable hardware platform that emulates a smartwatch, (ii) a UI framework that integrates with an existing UI builder, and (iii) a rich set of input and output events using a range of built-in sensor mappings. We demonstrate the versatility and design space of the toolkit with five interaction techniques and applications.
