A building superintendent or building supervisor (often known simply as the super) is a manager responsible for repair and maintenance in a residential building. They are the first point of contact for residents of the building. They are expected to take care of minor issues and repairs, such as small leaks or blockages. For larger jobs and major repairs they will organize and supervise the work of the sub-contractors. Building superintendents often get discounts in their rent in exchange for their services.

Although very common in large cities in the United States, the job title is not often used in the rest of the world. However, the job title is used throughout Canada where it is often spelled as superintendant.

The super of a building will often be a minor character in many television shows; for example in Friends. They are also commonly present in minor speaking roles on crime drama shows, such as Law & Order, where the super will often let the police in to an apartment that is the scene of a crime or the home of a suspect.

Carl Medjani () (born May 15, 1985 in Lyon) is a French football player with Lorient. His parents are of Algerian origin.

After spending his youth development years at Saint-Étienne he was signed by Liverpool’s manager Gérard Houllier in August 2003. Liverpool beat off stiff competition from Premiership rivals Arsenal, Manchester United and German giants Bayern Munich to secure his services.

Medjani struggled to break in the first team was sent on loan to Lorient for the whole 2004-05 season by new Liverpool manager
Rafael Benítez. Despite impressing in the Toulon under-20 tournament in summer 2005, Benítez deemed it necessary for him to gain more experience and so he spent 2005-06 on loan at FC Metz. During the season he made 23 appearances for a struggling Metz team, who were eventually relegated from the French Ligue 1.

He captained the France U21 team in the 2006 Toulon tournament [1]. At the start of the 2006-07 season, he rejoined Lorient, this time on a permanent basis [2].

Systematic sampling is a statistical method involving the selection of every k^th element from a sampling frame, where k, the sampling interval, is calculated as:

k = population size (N) / sample size (n)

Using this procedure each element in the population has a known and equal probability of selection. This makes systematic sampling functionally similar to simple random sampling. It is however, much more efficient (if variance within systematic sample is more than variance of population) and much less expensive to carry out.

The researcher must ensure that the chosen sampling interval does not hide a pattern. Any pattern would threaten randomness. A random starting point must also be selected.

Systematic sampling is to be applied only if the given population is logically homogeneous, because systematic sample units are uniformly distributed over the population.

Example: Suppose a supermarket wants to study buying habits of their customers, then using systematic sampling they can choose every 10^th or 15^th customer entering the supermarket and conduct the study on this sample.

This is random sampling with a system! From the sampling frame, a starting point is chosen at random, and thereafter at regular intervals.
For example, suppose you want to sample 8 houses from a street of 120 houses.
120/8=15, so every 15th house is chosen after a random starting point between 1 and 15. If the random starting point is 11, then the houses selected are 11, 26, 41, 56, 71, 86, 101, and 116.
If there were 125 houses, 125/8=15.625, so should you take every 15th house or every 16th house? If you take every 16th house, 8*16=128 so there is a risk that the last house chosen does not exist. To overcome this the random starting point should be between 1 and 10. On the other hand if you take every 15th house, 8*15=120 so the last five houses will never be selected. The random starting point should now be between 1 and 20 to ensure that every house has some chance of being selected.

E-Office is an abbreviation for “electronic office”,
referring to the ongoing process of eliminating paper
and making all office transactions electronic.

The term is something of a marketing buzzword,
without any specific technical meaning.
It might refer to:

• the introduction of individual computerized “office” applications,
• or to the interconnection of office computers using a LAN,
• or to the centralization of office functions via web-based applications.

The introduction of e-office functions might be expected toimprove accuracy and efficiency in an organization and thereby improve its level of service to its customers (both internal and external), while theoretically lowering costs and drastically reducing the consumption of paper. However, at any given point in time, it is often found that the promised benefits of the current generation of e-office systems
have not quite been realized, that there are still many documents being printed out and circulated on paper, and that there are therefore bountiful remaining opportunities for new vendors to propose yet more new systems which will finally realize the true e-office revolution.

In computability theory, the term limiting recursive (also limit recursive or limit computable) describes sets that are not computable but are the limit of a sequence of computable sets.

Definition

A set S is limiting recursive if there is a total computable function g(n,s) such that <math>\lim_{s\to\infty} g(n, s)=1</math> if <math>n\in S</math> and <math>\lim_{s\to\infty} g(n, s)=0</math> otherwise.

A partial function f(n) is limiting recursive if there is a partial computable function g(n,s) such that
<math>\lim_{s \to \infty} g(n,s)</math> is defined if and only if f(n) is defined, and in this case
<math>\lim_{s \to \infty} g(n,s) = f(n)</math>.

Properties

There are limit recursive sets that are not recursive; a particular example is the Halting problem which is the set of indices of Turing machines that halt on input 0. To see this, let <math>g(e,s)</math> be 1 if the Turing machine with index e halts on input 0 after s or fewer steps, and let <math>g(e,s)</math> be 0 otherwise. Then for each e the limit
<math>\lim_{s\to\infty} g(e,s)</math> exists and equals 1 if and only if the Turing machine with index e halts.

The limit lemma states that a set of natural numbers if limiting recursive if and only if the set is at level <math>\Delta^0_2</math> of the arithmetical hierarchy.

A resulting trust is a situation where property “results” back to the transferor. In this instance, the word ‘result’ means “in the result, remains with”, or something similar to “revert” except that in the result the settlor never effectively parted with his beneficial interest.

A resulting trust generally occurs in two situations when legal property is transferred:

1. The settlor tries to set up a trust for a third party, but fails to transfer the beneficial interest (for example, by naming a non-existent beneficiary).
2. The settlor intends to retain the beneficial interest in the property, but transfers the legal title to someone else (for example, to let an active child manage the assets). The trust is implied by the settlor’s lack of intention to transfer any beneficial interestRe Vandervell’s Trusts (No.2) [1974] Ch 269

The beneficial interest results in the settlor, or if the settlor has died the property forms part of the settlor’s estate

The Settlor’s intention

In relation to the second type of resulting trust, there is some difference in expressing the nature of the settlor’s intention:

• In Westdeutsche Lord Browne-Wilkinson stated that a resulting trust arises due to a legal “presumed intention to create a trust in favour of the donor”
• It has also been suggested that it is the fact of a “lack of intention to benefit the recipient” that creates the trust.

Although in many cases the outcome would be the same, the difference is significant. It is often difficult to prove intention, but easier to prove the circumstances when a legal presumption will arise. It may be more or less easy to rebut a presumption than to disprove an intention.

Lord Browne-Wilkinson was afraid that this would create a “floodgates” problem, by giving every claimant a proprietary right in bankruptcy - making many more claimants secured creditors, and thus making the position of a secured creditor much less valuable.

Notes

In South Africa there is no doctrine of resulting trusts. The main remedy if any of the trust purposes should fail would be through Unjust enrichment. (westdeutsche landesbank v council of london borough of islington)

In both conventional and electronic messaging, a return address is an explicit inclusion of the address of the person sending the message. It provides the recipient (and sometimes authorized intermediaries) with a means to determine how to respond to the sender of the message if needed.

In programming, return address means the position in code where a program shall return after the subroutine in execution terminates.

Mail

In the postal mail of some countries, the return address is conventionally located in the upper left hand corner of the envelope, card, or label. It may or may not include a sender’s name, but should include address or P.O. box, city, national division (e.g. state, province, county, etc.), and postal code. In the United Kingdom, the return address is usually placed on the reverse of the envelope, near the top.

The return address is not required on postal mail. However, lack of a return address prevents the postal service from being able to return the message (or a package’s contents) in the case it is undeliverable (such as from damage, lack of postage, or invalid destination.)

Insufficient postage

Since a letter with insufficient postage is traditionally sent back to the return address (using, ironically, postal resources and expense to do so), some creditors have abused this system by placing their own payment address in both the destination and return address spaces. In this way, if a customer fails to put postage on a mailed payment, the envelope is still delivered to the creditor instead of returning to the sender and resulting in a potential late payment penalty. Although postal services typically do not appreciate this practice, it is not generally illegal (at least not in the United States).

Some postal systems send a postcard to the sender with details of the underpayment, so that the sender can attach the required stamps plus a fee and send to the postal authority, for example Royal Mail in the United Kingdom.

E-mail and other electronic messages

In electronic messages, especially e-mail, there are a number of forms of return address.

The most common email return address is located in the From header, which is typically displayed as the sender of an email in most email software. However, the From header is created by the originating email program upon sending the message, and is defined by the originating system (which increasingly is open to alteration by the sender, as desktop email software becomes the norm).

Another return address is the “Sender header”, which is typically created (and overridden) by the mail server used by the originating email software. Since this is typically managed by an ISP, it is often more reliable and legitimate than a From address, if there is a discrepancy.

Additional fields in the headers of an email message include brief signatures of each mail server that handled the message. While these do not indicate the individual sender of the message, they do provide a potentially useful audit trail of where on the Internet the email came from. Abuse coordinators and other spam analyzers use a lot of such header information to aid in tracking the source of an unsolicited email message.

Some mail servers will reject email if the return address(es) do not indicate a valid domain for the network it is coming from. This usually means that Internet users must make sure that they use the mail server associated with the domain in the address they send email from.

Spammers, phishers, and other nefarious email senders take advantage of the alterability of the From address, as well as mail servers that provide bogus (or no) signature information, and don’t perform checks on the domain in the return addresses.

Programming

Any useful program is usually subdivided in reusable parts called subroutines or functions. They can be called in different parts of the same program. Hence, after executing the subroutine, the program should remember where the execution should return. That’s the return address, that’s pushed on the call stack.

Early computers and FORTRAN compilers simply reserved a position at or before the first location of the subroutine to store the return address. This method does not require a stack, which were not generally built into computers until the late 1960s, but does not support recursion. A similar technique was used by Lotus 1-2-3, which executed a tree walk to compute calculation order. Since cycles were not allowed, no recursion was necessary, and the return location could be stored in a reserved location within each cell. The advantage is that no large stack was required which could potentially require one location for every cell allocated.

The Austrian Space Agency was an organization whose purpose has been to coordinate Austrian space exploration-related activities. It was established in 1972 by authorities in Vienna. In 1987, Austria became a member state of the European Space Agency.

A petition mill is a fraud in which the perpetrator poses as a financial advisor, sometimes as a credit counselor or paralegal, filing hastily-prepared bankruptcy documents in the name of victims who come to the advisor as clients. The bankruptcy filing is often both incomplete and inappropriate for the victim’s condition; and, often, the victim does not even realize that a bankruptcy has been filed.

Victims are people in financial trouble who believe they are becoming clients of a professional operation. The fraudster promises to make the foreclosures, evictions, repossessions, high interest rates on loans, and other debt problems go away. The victim pays a large initial fee for the fraudster’s services, and the fraudster usually has the victim sign blank documents. Sometimes the victim is also told to make their usual payments directly to the fraudulent advisor instead of the real creditors, or to transfer their real estate to the fraudster. The payments are stolen by the fraudster instead of being used to pay victims’ debts, and real estate is often deeded in fractional shares to other victims unknowingly under bankruptcy, complicating ownership to make foreclosures even more difficult by having multiple (fraudulent) bankruptcies involved in the property.

In other petition mill schemes, the fraudster simply creates summary bankruptcy filings for the victim. The victim is then told to file pro se in court and deny that anyone helped prepare the documents.

According to the United States Trustee Manual, volume 5, chapter 5, the following are warning signs of a petition mill scheme:

1. Pro se bankruptcy petition where the debtor says no one assisted him/her, but the debtor is clearly unfamiliar with the bankruptcy system
2. Pro se petition filed despite the debtor denying filing bankruptcy
3. Debtor failing to attend the section 341 meeting, where creditors and the United States Trustee first meet with the debtor
4. “Face sheet” (suspiciously small) filing with a single creditor listed, usually the mortgagee or the landlord
5. Debtor facing eviction, foreclosure, or repossession notice
6. Pattern of pro se debtors with identical paperwork form, style, and general content
7. Pattern of complaints from mortgagees or landlords
8. Debtors or others being solicited by petition mills that stress stopping evictions, etc.
9. Complaints by debtor that he/she has been making rent/mortgage/car payments to a third party (instead of to the original creditors)
10. Advertising in budget papers and using flyers to advertise bankruptcy and divorce assistance at a low, fixed fee
11. Implications that attorneys are supervising or approving the service
12. Requests for payment of filing fee in installments
13. Assets or liabilities not scheduled (filed in proper format)
14. Failure to properly fill out or file schedules
15. Use of chapter 7 (complete liquidation) when chapter 13 (reorganization) is clearly feasible

Interim trustee is a term of art in section 701 of the Bankruptcy Code, Title 11 of the United States Code.

When a case under Chapter 7 of the Code is commenced, the United States Trustee immediately appoints an interim trustee for that case. The most important immediate duty of the interim trustee is to conduct the first meeting of creditors (sometimes called the “341 meeting”), at which the bankrupt person is required to appear and respond to questions under oath concerning the person’s assets and debts (see generally ).

If the creditors do not elect some other person qualified to serve as trustee for the case, then the interim trustee becomes the “permanent” trustee. He or she serves as trustee for the duration of the case, but is subject to removal for good cause. In the overwhelming majority of bankruptcy cases, the interim trustee is not replaced, and serves for the entire case.

Chapter 7 trustees are selected by the U.S. Trustee from a “panel” of individuals residing or having offices in the judicial district where the bankruptcy case is filed. Federal law prohibits the U.S. Trustee from requiring the trustee to be licensed as an attorney. Because trustees must be knowledgeable about bankruptcy law and procedure in order to administer their cases, most panel trustees are, however, attorneys who handle their court responsibilities as a complement to their law practices.

The only other legal pre-requisite for the qualification of the interim trustee is the giving of a surety bond to secure compliance with the trustee’s responsibilities in the case. Generally, panel trustees will file a “blanket bond” with the U.S. Trustee’s office which covers all cases in which a particular trustee is serving.

Christopher Raymond Perry Rodgers (4 November 1819 – 8 January 1892) was an officer in the United States Navy. He served in the Mexican-American War, the American Civil War, as Superintendent of the Naval Academy, and Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Squadron.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Rodgers was the son of George Washington Rodgers and Anna Maria Perry. His maternal grandfather was Christopher Raymond Perry.

Rodgers was appointed a midshipman in 1833. During the Mexican-American War, he participated in the siege of Vera Cruz. Promoted to Commander in 1861, Rodgers served on the USS Wabash at the battle of Port Royal and helped in the capture of Fort Pulaski.

He was promoted to Captain in 1866, Commodore in 1870, and Rear Admiral in 1874. Rodgers acted as the superintendent of the Naval Academy from 1874 through 1878, and again in 1880 through the following year, retiring in 1881.

He died in Washington, D.C., and is buried in Annapolis, Maryland.

A reaffirmation agreement in United States bankruptcy law refers to an agreement made between a creditor and the debtor that waives discharge of a debt that would otherwise be discharged in the pending bankruptcy proceeding. A properly executed, timely filed reaffirmation agreement modifies the discharge such that it is rendered inoperable against the subject debt. Most statutory authority for reaffirmation agreements is codified in section 524(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

The CFA Institute is headquartered in the United States Of America at Charlottesville, Virginia with offices in Hong Kong and London. Formerly known as the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR), the Institute awards the prestigious Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) designation.

History

In 1925, an organization of investment analysts founded the Investment Analyst Society of Chicago. Similar organizations were formed elsewhere starting with the New York Society of Security Analysts (NYSSA) in 1937. In 1947, the organizations merged to create an umbrella organization, the National Federation of Financial Analysts Societies (NFFAS). As societies were formed, they too joined the national organization.

In 1959, the member societies voted to form the Institute of Chartered Financial Analysts (ICFA) for the purpose of provide the CFA certification. ICFA would offered the first CFA Exam in 1963 and adopted a three-exam format in 1964. The NFFAS, now the Financial Analyst Federation (FAF), remained as an umbrella organization for the member societies.

After many years of operating separately, the two organizations voted in 1990 to move towards a merger as the Association for Investment Management and Research (AIMR). The organizations merged in 1999. In 2004, AIMR voted to change its name to the CFA Institute in order to reinforce its association with the CFA Charter that it issues. 112 member societies have also changed their names to reflect the global society’s name change.

Today, the CFA Institute claims more than 83,000 members in 129 countries. There are 134 societies in 55 countries. More than half of the membership (48,934) is in the United States. Canada also has a significant presence with 10,642 members. Approximately 83% of total membership holds the CFA designation.

In addition to administering the CFA Exam, the Institute publishes the Financial Analysts Journal (founded 1945). The Institute also operates the CFA Center for Financial Market Integrity and the CFA Research Foundation.

Trivia

The largest societies are:

• New York Society of Security Analysts - 10,945 members
• Toronto CFA Society - 6,289 members
• United Kingdom Society of Investment Professionals - 5,241 members
• The Hong Kong Society of Financial Analysts Limited - 4,399 members
• The Boston Security Analysts Society - 4,526 members
• CFA Society of Chicago - 3,377 members
• CFA Society of San Francisco - 2,767 members
• Florida has the largest number of societies (six) followed by California and Ohio (five).
• The oldest society is in Chicago - founded 1925.
• The youngest societies are in Egypt and Bahrain - both admitted in May 2006.
