 experienced legal transcribers trained to ensure the record is produced in a manner that will be admissible in court.
The court reporter shortage in real and digital court reporting is the next stage of a constantly evolving profession. This means that having a digital court reporter in your proceeding in the near future is inevitable. So, if the agency you know and love assigns a digital court reporter to your legal proceeding, rest assured you’re in good hands: they are trained legal professionals who are there to protect the record.

Again, I'm regarded, but this is what I understand. If the stock by chance does reach over my strike price (which again, I doubt) then my "potential loss" 

There is no potential loss here. If your covered call strike price is higher than your cost average, you have made profit. Be happy with that and you are already doing better than most. If you REALLY think that there is going to be a higher run, you can buy back the CC's, but profit is profit. You have made the premium PLUS the profit to the strike price. 

Its only a potential loss if you had let the grass grow around you after buying the shares and only started selling covered calls once bagholding and your strike was lower than your cost average.A Model for Post-Saddam Iraq
If Iraq is successfully to democratize and an inclusive democratic culture is to emerge, the Iraqi state must be reconstituted as a federal and strongly liberal system and thoroughly demilitarized.

If Iraq is successfully to democratize and an inclusive democratic culture is to emerge, the Iraqi state must be reconstituted as a federal and strongly liberal system and thoroughly demilitarized.
Representatives of the Iraqi democratic opposition to Saddam Hussein assess what must be done to overcome the legacy of dictatorship and pave the way toward a free and democratic future for their country.
Gauging electoral competitiveness relative to economic development reveals not only that Arab countries “underperform” but, strikingly, that non-Arab Muslim-majority countries tend to “overperform.”
This troubled corner of Europe has become a test of the ability of outside experts and carefully designed institutions to overcome a legacy of intense ethnocommunal conflict. How are they faring?
Like liberals in the British East India Company more than a century ago, European and international officials have become stewards of a people's fate. The intentions are good, but will self-government result?
Liberty and self-government are not only good in themselves, but also have powerful and beneficial effects on a nation’s level of economic development and prosperity.
New data covering most of the 1990s reveal that democracy, even when minimally defined, has a potent independent impact that tends to reduce infant mortality and promote overall social well-being.
The decaying trajectory of democratization in South Africa represents a kind of settlement failure, resulting for the main parties in the transition having come to the table with incompatible cultural paradigms of negotiation.
Almost a half-century after being forced from their homeland, Tibetans abroad, led by the Dalai Lama, have democratized their institutions in hopes that they may one day form the basis for a free and self-governing Tibet.
The election cycle concluding in the spring of 2003 was a guarded success. High hurdles to better governance and democratic consolidation remain, but Nigerians can now face them with greater hope.
After falling short in 1992 and 1997, Kenya’s large but fractious opposition coalition swept to victory at the polls in 2002. Transition has arrived, but can democratic transformation follow?
Democratic and ecnomic development will become sustainable in sub-Saharan Africa only with the emergence of coherent, legitimate and effective states.

In this day and age, no data scientist should produce slightly less accurate models for want of public holiday data. When modelling human behaviour over time for example, this type of data can have a tremendous impact on the predictive power of a model. Think about how differently you behave on a public holiday compared to an ordinary day. So I was surprised not to find any data set out there that I would judge as “nice”.
So what does a good data set look like?
Complete: My models are hungry beasts, they need all the data they can get. Preferable since the dawn of civilisation.
Suitable format: I don’t wish to spend time scraping and restructuring data. Tabular csv files please.
Finding a source with one of these attributes was achievable, but not with all three.
Here is an example of data that’s designed for people, not for data scientists.
This same data could be structured in the following way, which would be much more useful to people like me.
There are currently two national data sets, both administered by the Digital Transformation Agency but residing in different domains.
The first appears very much current and correct and intended to be used as a reference rather than a data set that one would download. This page also provides links to the relevant state and territory based sources.
The data is split across multiple files that contain duplicated data.
Each of these files has a different API address.
The field names are slightly different from the 2017 data set onward.
There is one field which describes the jurisdiction in which the public holiday applies, within the records a bar symbol “|” is used to indicate multiple jurisdictions.
Semi consistent Description field for the location of public holiday e.g. a national holiday is referred to as either “All” or an empty record.
Applicable states are recorded in the same record, separated by a comma.
States may be anti-recorded. E.g. “All except Tas, WA” to represent all states except Western Australia and Tasmania.
Incomplete data, which is not disclosed – this is quite bad since it may be used based on the assumption that it is complete.
Sometimes certain holidays fall on a weekend, this may result in a “lieu day” on the following weekday. Lieu is an Old French word meaning “instead of”.
In some states and territories there exists part-day public holidays.
A discussion on how to treat these is given below. Note that I’m coming from the perspective of a data scientist, I want to know how to structure this data for the purposes of a building a predictive model.
Relatively rare, some holidays are part day holidays. Annoyingly I had to add yet another column to describe this. I decided to use the 24 hour format HHMM to indicate the time of day the public holiday applies.
Below is a sample of the data set I created. The complete list of Australian public holidays from 2009 onwards can be found here.
Public holiday data sets are typically intended to be a quick check for people to see if they have the day off next week, and not intended for analytics professional to feed their machine learning models. I hope I have provided something useful, or may at least save some time.Wouldn’t the regulation that requires employers to not pay LOWER than a this bottom number be good? It’s a regulation that is preventing workers from being paid pennies per hour. 

And before the argument is made that supply and demand for labor would dictate that if Walmart wanted to stay competitive, they would need to pay more, 3 things.
1. Nothing is stopping Walmart from paying higher than minimum wage. Minimum wage stops them from paying LOWER. I don’t get how that’s bad.
2. The laborers working in a Walmart (excluding administrative) are pretty much low skill. Let’s take the bakery department. They probably have 10 bakery employees or so. In some places, there aren’t 10 other bakery positions to be had in their city. Riverton Wy has a Walmart and it’s a population of 11,058. I bet there is maybe one other bakery in town and so if those employees with that little bit of skill want to make more money, they would need to move to another town. Not really practical as a solution in the real world. It’s really almost like a monopoly on low skill labor. Walmart seems to pay not what they COULD, and not because of economics, but because, and this is my socialist side talking, *walmart doesn’t see the employees as a human asset, but a means to an profitable end*. 
3. If the only reason Walmart pays the wage they agree to in an employment contract is because of the result of a negotiation, and wages are determined also by how much demand they have for the labor, what’s the stance on the employees needing government assistance because the wage alone isn’t enough to feed and house a family.

Or better said as: When does the need for the laborer to feed, clothe, and house themselves factor into this arrangement?  If it does not, why doesn’t it? 

Higher wages tend to stabilize the laborer. A stable laborer is often a loyal one, reducing turnover. Lower turnover lowers the cost of hiring new employees, insurance, training, etc. Why would an employer NOT want to pay a stable wage?

ALSO, is it possible that the formula for determining a lab
