# Margaret Ng

Margaret Ng Ngoi-yee (Chinese: 吳靄儀; born 25 January 1948) is a politician, barrister, writer and columnist in Hong Kong. She was a member of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong from 1995 to 2012.

## Biography

Before entering the legal profession, Margaret Ng worked at the University of Hong Kong and Chase Manhattan Bank (now JP Morgan Chase). She also held senior positions in journalism, serving as publisher and deputy editor-in-chief of the Ming Pao newspaper; and as a columnist for South China Morning Post.
Besides being a lawyer and journalist, Ng is also an accomplished expert in the fields of philosophy and literature. She has written several volumes of critical studies on the wuxia novels of Jin Yong and earned her Doctor of Philosophy degree from Boston University.
She appeared in a BBC documentary, The Last Governor, which followed Chris Patten and the last years of British rule in Hong Kong.
Like many politicians from the Pan-democrat camp, Ng is denied entry into the Mainland. On 12 September 1999, she was barred travel there to attend a conference on China's constitution.
She was a former director at Stand News and a former Civic Party lawmaker at Legislative Council of Hong Kong.

## Arrests

On 18 April 2020, Ng was arrested as one of 15 Hong Kong high-profile democracy figures, on suspicion of organizing, publicizing or taking part in several unauthorized assemblies between August and October 2019 in the course of the anti-extradition bill protests. Following protocol, the police statement did not disclose the names of the accused. On 16 April 2021, she was sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment suspended for 24 months. On 12 April 2024 Margaret Ng (then aged 76) received from the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal a suspended sentence following conviction for taking part in an unauthorised procession in August 2019. The decision generated considerable adverse publicity for Lord Neuberger (former President of the UK Supreme Court) for his participation in the decision.
On 29 December 2021, Ng and six other people linked to Stand News were arrested on suspicion of breaching a colonial-era law covering conspiracy to print or distribute seditious materials that were supposedly published at the pro-democracy outlet. She was released on bail next day together with the five of the detained.

# The Dead Republic

The Dead Republic: A Novel is a 2010 novel by Irish author Roddy Doyle which concluded The Last Roundup trilogy. The first book in the trilogy was A Star Called Henry (1999), and the second was Oh, Play That Thing! (2004).

## Plot

An aging Henry Smart is attempting to cement his reputation. John Ford plans a movie based on Henry's life, but Henry eventually realizes the film that Ford has planned will reduce his story to sentiment. Henry plans to kill Ford, but his callousness has faded, and he drifts into the Dublin suburbs, where he meets a respectable widow who may possibly be his long-disappeared wife. Henry ages in obscurity until the 1970s, when he is caught up in the 1974 Dublin car bombings and the Provisional IRA uses a distorted version of Henry's story as a public relations ploy.

## Reception

The Daily Telegraph said "Doyle’s eye for the light and shade of style and register in Irish speech and his dissection of the island’s shibboleths are masterly, but the Hollywood episodes with Ford read like schematics rather than windows into character. Doyle is doubtlessly speaking from the heart about the difficulties of seeing a script go through the movie mill but it’s too much and not enough at the same time."

# Tomahawk Lake (Wisconsin)

Tomahawk Lake is a lake in Oneida County, Wisconsin, United States. The lake covers an area of 3,392 acres (1,373 ha) and has a maximum depth of 84 feet (26 m). The community of Lake Tomahawk is located on the eastern edge of the lake. Tomahawk Lake was so named from the fact its outline resembles a tomahawk.
Tomahawk Lake is the source of the Tomahawk River. Historically, Tomahawk Lake was part of a travel route for traders and Indians who portaged to and from the Wisconsin River at the east end of the lake.
# Skewness risk

Skewness risk in forecasting models utilized in the financial field is the risk that results when observations are not spread symmetrically around an average value, but instead have a skewed distribution. As a result, the mean and the median can be different. Skewness risk can arise in any quantitative model that assumes a symmetric distribution (such as the normal distribution) but is applied to skewed data.
Ignoring skewness risk, by assuming that variables are symmetrically distributed when they are not, will cause any model to understate the risk of variables with high skewness.
Skewness risk plays an important role in hypothesis testing. The analysis of variance, one of the most common tests used in hypothesis testing, assumes that the data is normally distributed. If the variables tested are not normally distributed because they are too skewed, the test cannot be used. Instead, nonparametric tests can be used, such as the Mann–Whitney test for unpaired situation or the sign test for paired situation.
Skewness risk and kurtosis risk also have technical implications in calculation of value at risk. If either are ignored, the Value at Risk calculations will be flawed.
Benoît Mandelbrot, a French mathematician, extensively researched this issue. He feels that the extensive reliance on the normal distribution for much of the body of modern finance and investment theory is a serious flaw of any related models (including the Black–Scholes model and CAPM). He explained his views and alternative finance theory in a book: The (Mis)Behavior of Markets: A Fractal View of Risk, Ruin and Reward.
In options markets, the difference in implied volatility at different strike prices represents the market's view of skew, and is called volatility skew. (In pure Black–Scholes, implied volatility is constant with respect to strike and time to maturity.)

## Skewness for bonds

Bonds have a skewed return. A bond will either pay the full amount on time (very likely to much less likely depending on quality), or less than that. A normal bond does not ever pay more than the "good" case.

# James Allen (Army engineer)

James Allen (February 15, 1806 – August 23, 1846) was a U.S. Army officer who organized the Mormon Battalion and was commander of Fort Des Moines (1843–1846), the fort from which the City of Des Moines grew. He was also in charge of improvements to the harbor of Chicago as well as producing maps of the U.S. frontier.
Allen was born in Ohio. He graduated from West Point in 1829. In 1832, he accompanied Henry Schoolcraft on an expedition to the headwaters of the Mississippi River, which led to Allen producing the first accurate map showing the lakes and streams of the headwaters. In 1833 he was assigned to the First Regiment of Dragoons, where he served as an engineer in the exploration of the Indian country of the Southwest. Allen oversaw improvements to the harbor of Chicago in 1834. In 1842 he was transferred to Iowa, taking charge of the Sac and Fox Agency ("Fort Sanford") and then Fort Des Moines No. 2. After Fort Des Moines No. 2 was abandoned in 1846, it became the core of what is now the modern City of Des Moines.
He was sent to Mt. Pisgah, Iowa, to a camp of homeless Latter-day Saints who had been driven from their homes by anti-Mormon mobs, to recruit a battalion of 500 men to fight in the Mexican–American War. Initially the Mormons were suspicious of him, but after he met with Mormon leader Brigham Young, Young fully endorsed the plan.
Allen served as the commanding officer (with the acting rank of lieutenant colonel) of the Battalion from the July 16, 1846 until his death on August 23, 1846. He was the first officer buried at Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery.

## Namesake

* Allens Bay on Cass Lake in the State of Minnesota is named in his honor.
# Ozoir-la-Ferrière station

Ozoir-la-Ferrière is a French railway station in Ozoir-la-Ferrière, in the Seine-et-Marne department in the Île-de-France region. It is served by RER E.

## Location

The station is at kilometric point 34.207 of Paris-Est–Mulhouse-Ville railway. Its altitude is 111 m.

## History

The Chemins de fer de l'Est company put into service Ozoir-la-Ferrière station on 9 February 1857, as the section from Nogent–Le Perreux to Nangis opened to commercial service. The section originally opened with a single track, until a second one was put into service on 23 April. The next section, from Nangis to Flamboin, opened on 25 April 1857.
The former Ozoir station was located halfway between Roissy-en-Brie and the current station, on Roissy commune. The new station was inaugurated on 30 September 1984.
In 2000, a contract between the state and the Île-de-France region organized the expansion of the RER E from Villiers-sur-Marne to Tournan. On 14 February 2002, the STIF board of directors approved the pilot program. On 14 December 2003, the line was cut from its historical network to Paris-Est, and linked with RER E leading to Haussmann–Saint Lazare underground station. The integration modified journeys and timetables, and improved services at the station.
Platforms were raised from 0.55 meters (1.80 ft) to 0.92 meters (3.02 ft), to facilitate access to the carriages. Facilities improved accessibility to people with limited mobility. Screens on the platforms show real time information.
According to SNCF figures, in 2014, 2,143,800 passengers entered Ozoir station.
