FedNow is an instant payment service developed by the Federal Reserve for depository institutions in the United States, which allows individuals and businesses to send and receive money. The service launched on July 20, 2023. Banks will be able to build products on top of the FedNow platform.

Operation 

FedNow was scheduled to begin formal certification of participants of the program in April 2023, with a formal launch planned done on July 2023.  It operates on a 24-hour, 365-days-a-year basis, as opposed to the older FedACH system that is closed on weekends and holidays. FedNow charges a transaction cost of $0.043, compared to the average ACH transaction cost of $0.26 – $0.50.

Instant payments with FedNow can accomplish many of the improvements for which a central bank digital currency (CBDC) was proposed. However, FedNow is not a CBDC, because it is not a liability of the federal government.

The federal reserved publish a list of all financial institutions and fintech vendors that were certified and have live send and receive on launch day.

History 

In 2017, The Clearing House Payments Company, a private entity owned by an association of large US banks introduced Real Time Payments (RTP), which is a similar instant payment system that is also available to all US financial institutions. In the late 2010s, the association of large banks unsuccessfully lobbied the government to prevent the Federal Reserve from developing the competing FedNow service, while smaller banks and financial technology companies encouraged the Fed to proceed with FedNow's development.

In 2020, Lael Brainard announced the upcoming FedNow service would provide "a neutral platform on which the private sector can build to offer safe, efficient instant payment services to users across the country", after in 2018 the European Central Bank launched the TIPS instant payment settlement system.

In the lead up to its release scheduled for July 2023, Moody's Investor Service released a report discussing potential issues with the service. It noted incumbents in the payments space could see revenue declines, those participating could be forced to make upgrades in technology and staff, and there was a greater possibility of bank runs, even with potential benefits like lower costs and more efficiency in the payments ecosystem.

Jean Cavenac de la Vigne, seigneur d'Auvilliers, was French Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1556 to 1566. He was the successor of Michel de Codignac, who had returned to Europe in 1558, passing through Venice in July 1558, and betrayed the French cause by entering in the service of Philip II of Spain.

De la Vigne was sent to the Ottoman Empire by Henri II of France, with the objective of getting help against the Spanish troops of the Duke of Alva in Italy as part of the long-standing Franco-Ottoman alliance, when, concomitantly France was facing the Spanish troops of Philip II of Spain in the north on the border of Flanders. France could only hope for progress in Italy if it were to receive Ottoman help. De la Vigne lobbied for an Ottoman naval intervention in 1557.

Henry was hopeful of Ottoman help, as in the past his military actions against the Habsburgs had relieve pressure on Suleiman during his campaigns in Persia and in Hungary, and Henry had always refused to join anti-Ottoman coalitions. The Ottomans however refused to send their fleet to Italy that year to support the French, partly because of the Ottomans feeling offense about the previous Truce of Vaucelles which Henry II had signed without informing them, and his lack of response to several of Suleiman's letters. The Ottomans were also afraid of the increased power of the French under Henry II, and did not wish to see France occupy the whole of Italy, next door to the Ottoman Empire. 

In 1558, Suleiman finally communicated through de la Vigne his agreement to help Henry II, and he started to prepare an armada. He also committed to send an army in the direction of Hungary and Germany if Henry also committed not to make truces or agreements on his side. The French king however preferred an Ottoman offensive against Naples in Italy, through the Albanian port of Valona, and wished to obtain financial help to the level of 2 million ducats from the Ottomans. In May, Suleiman communicated that he would send an armada, which left Istanbul in April 1558. In June, the armada sacked Sorrento and took 3,000 captives, but otherwise did little, and was delayed from joining a French fleet in Corsica, possibly due to the failure of the commander Dragut to honour Suleiman's orders. Suleiman apologized in a letter to Henry at the end of the year 1558. As the Ottoman refused to lend the 2 million ducats to France, and Henry failed in the Battle of Saint-Quentin and Battle of Gravelines, the Peace of Cateau-Cambrésis was finally signed.

De la Vigne had a reputation of being rather outspoken and impolitic, and Ghiselin de Busbecq, ambassador of Ferdinand to the Porte, commented that de la Vigne's freedom of speech as an ambassador was "wild and frightfull".

Carlos Santander (born May 25, 1975) is a Venezuelan former swimmer, who specialized in sprint and middle-distance freestyle events. He represented Venezuela in two editions of the Olympic Games (1996 and 2000), and also swam for the Fort Lauderdale Swim Team in Florida, while residing in the United States. During his college career, Santander trained for the NC State Wolfpack swimming and diving team, under head coach Beth Harrell, at North Carolina State University in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Santander made his Olympic debut at the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta. There, he failed to reach the top 16 final in the 200 m freestyle, finishing in twenty-seventh place at 1:53.13. A member of the Venezuelan team, he also placed thirteenth in the 4×100 m freestyle relay (3:23.04), and eleventh in the 4×200 m freestyle relay (7:32.63).

At the 2000 Summer Olympics in Sydney, Santander competed for the Venezuelan squad in the men's 4×100 m freestyle relay. Teaming with Oswaldo Quevedo, Francisco Páez, and Francisco Sánchez in heat two, Santander swam the lead-off leg and recorded a split of 51.28, but the Venezuelans finished the race in seventh place and seventeenth overall in a final time of 3:24.64.

William E. Baxter, Jr. (born 1940) is an American professional poker player and sports bettor.  He has won numerous tournament titles in his career as a professional poker player, including seven World Series of Poker bracelets.

He was inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame in 2006.

Early life
Born in Augusta, Georgia, Baxter started his gambling career like many others of his age by gambling in the pool halls. At the age of 14, he discovered he had a talent for hustling pool games.

At the age of 16, Baxter had saved $5,000 from his hustling money. At the age of 18, he was old enough to head to the taverns, where he discovered poker.

He attended Augusta College, but dropped out to pursue his poker career.

Poker career
In 1975, he took a honeymoon trip to Hawaii and ended up in the Las Vegas Valley, Nevada on the way back. He and his new bride lived in a  hotel there for nine months while Baxter played poker for a living. It was there that he met fellow legends Doyle Brunson, Puggy Pearson and eventually Stu Ungar.

Baxter has won seven World Series of Poker bracelets. All of Baxter's bracelets are in lowball games, notably Razz, Deuce-to-Seven and California Lowball (draw).  He ranks second all-time in non-Hold'em bracelets (7) behind Phil Ivey (10).

Baxter is known for staking Stu Ungar to the buy-in for Ungar's victory in the Main Event of the 1997 WSOP.  Thereafter, he entered into an arrangement to stake Ungar in tournaments, but this was cut short by Ungar's continuing personal problems which led to the latter's death in 1998.

As of 2017, his total live tournament winnings exceed $2,600,000. His 35 cashes at the WSOP account for $1,093,044 of those winnings.

World Series of Poker bracelets

Baxter's poker income court case
Although Baxter is best known for his on-table poker accomplishments and staking Stu Ungar, he is also known for the case of William E. Baxter Jr. vs. the United States.

Baxter indeed sued the government for a $178,000 tax refund.

It was the judge's ruling that Baxter's poker winnings should be classified as "earned income", contrary to its previous classification of "unearned income" which was taxable up to 70 percent. Thus, in the process, Baxter's victory in this case has helped all American poker players by providing equal tax status to those earning a living as professional poker players.

Coup D'Etat was a New Zealand band active between 1980 and 1982. Members included Harry Lyon, previously (and subsequently) of Hello Sailor, Jan Preston and Neil Hannan of Red Mole, and drummer Paul Dunningham. Originally, Preston and Hannan were members of the band Wolfgang with drummer Steve Osborne. Harry Lyon joined the band, which was then re-named Coup D'Etat.

History
The band is best known for their New Zealand top ten hit "Doctor I Like Your Medicine" (written and sung by Lyon), which won Single of the Year at the 1981 New Zealand Music Awards.

Neither their first single "No Music On My Radio" (sung by Preston), nor later single "Permanent Hire" (sung by Lyon) equalled the success of "Doctor I Like Your Medicine". Their self-titled album, released in 1981, reached 14 in the national charts.

Preston left the band in 1981. The band reformed with a new lineup in 1982, but soon afterwards broke up permanently.

Legacy
Lyon joined fellow ex-Hello Sailor member Graham Brazier's band The Leigonnaires, which eventually led to a full Hello Sailor reunion.

Paul Dunningham joined Mi-Sex.

Preston went on to have a lengthy solo career as a boogie-woogie pianist and singer.

People's Communist Party of Turkey (, HTKP) was a communist party in Turkey founded in 2014.

Formation
Following a period of internal strife within the Communist Party of Turkey (TKP), the party decided to split in two. The faction led by Erkan Baş and Metin Çulhaoğlu founded the People's Communist Party of Turkey on 13 July 2014, with the other faction forming the Communist Party (KP). On 15 July 2014, the two rival factions reached a consensus to freeze the activities of the former party and that neither faction shall use the name and emblem of TKP. The TKP has since been re-established.

Personal life
While on hiatus, he returned to life as a writer under his family name of T.F. Pruden, publishing a half dozen novels, and writing a monthly column for counter-culture publication High Canada Magazine. A one-time professional boxer, he's earned raves for his work in a variety of fields throughout a storied life spent largely outside the boundaries of polite society. Legendarily reclusive, the rakish outlaw is divorced and lives quietly in small town Alberta.

An inholding is privately owned land inside the boundary of a national park, national forest, state park, or similar publicly owned, protected area. In-holdings result from private ownership of lands predating the designation of the park or forest area, or the expansion of the park area to encompass the privately owned property.  
In the United States, the main causes of inholdings is that all of the Federal land-management agencies were formed over a century after the government sold and issued land grants to private citizens to fund the administration of the United States.  When the park system was formed, many of these now-called "inholdings" had been in private ownership for generations and not available for sale when the park was formed.      
Over the last several decades, conservation groups have lobbied the United States Congress to acquire private residences especially within designated wilderness areas, either by direct purchase or via land exchange which trades the inholding for other federal lands located outside of national parks or wilderness areas.

Rights and regulations
Generally, owners of inholdings are allowed to use their properties in a manner similar to other private property owners in their state. However, they may be subject to additional federal and agency-specific regulations regarding access to their homes and use of their lands by their Federal agency neighbors.

Under the Wilderness Act (1964), the designated area cannot include the privately owned property within the border.  Under the Act, federal agencies have an obligation to provide property owners "adequate access" across public lands should their property lie within the designated wilderness boundary. As such, many public agencies have allowed limited use roads to be built in wilderness areas. Under the Eastern Wilderness Act, public agencies are allowed to seize wilderness inholdings if the owner of the inholding manages their land in a manner "incompatible with management of such area as wilderness".

The Pioneer Women's Memorial is situated in the Jessie Street Gardens in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia. It honours the contribution of women to the colonisation of Australia.

The memorial was commissioned by the Women's Pioneer Society of Australasia as part of Australia's bicentenary celebrations.  It was designed and constructed by sculptor Alex Koloszy. The sculpture is of a bronze statue of a woman carrying a baby in her left arm while pulling a young child alongside her on her right. It is 3.5 metres tall.

The memorial was unveiled on 19 November 1988, by Lady Rowland, the spouse of the governor of New South Wales at the time.
