In
Memory of our good
friend By Josie and Troy
Cory
•
AMBROS SEELOS, ORCHESTRA LEADER,
Arranger, Saxophonist and Clarinettist
passed away August 3, 2015, in
Mühldorf, Germany, at the age of
80.
•••He
shared the stage with Ella Fitzgerald,
Louis Armstrong , Count Basie and Chubby
Checker. •••
•••
Speaking
with his wife Margit this morning, Ambros
died Monday evening after his health
deteriorated in the last few month. She
said, "he had a 'full life,' and a big
heart."
•••
Since
the fall during a performance on the dream
ship MS Deutschland, in 2011, when he
broke his arm multiple times, he was no
longer able to play an instrument which
for him meant the end of a long successful
career.
•••
"My
first recordings in Germany were arranged
and conducted by my good friend Ambros,"
and arranger Sylvester Levay," says Troy.
He has been a great help and I always had
the utmost respect for him." He was the
ultimate musician. We are truly saddened
by the news of his passing, but he will
never be forgotten and will always have a
place in our heart.
•••
He
leaves behind
his wife Margit and sons Dominique (from
his 1st marriage) Ambros und Max, who is
following in his father's footsteps. •

"Kiss &
Tell" ••••
Tell me your problems and I'll tell
you mine, is the old approach to get some
people to open up and extract
information.
••••
Facebook is the world's most popular
social network. It is the company's 'kiss
& tell' mission to be the ultimate
placer for everybody to share just about
everything. Most people populate their
their feeds with only the most flattering
posts, like vacation and family photos,
promotional work and other not so humble
brags.
••••
As in a recent very personal post by the
Zuckerbergs, the social network encourages
others to share their struggles, to better
reflect reality, saying "in today's open
and connected world discussing these
issues doesn't distance us: it bring us
together. It creates understanding and
tolerance;" and also more motivated 'kiss
& tell' users.
••••
Sharing the most personal Facebook urges
users to share just about everything about
heir lives. There are however people that
do not hew that philosophy and the
tendency to expose their personal
challenges. That leaves open the question
still what is and is not appropriate to
share on social medias.
• 102- Insider
Trading Hackers Arrested -
• Downloaded more than 150,000 press
releases. ••••
As some people wish to connect on
the Internet for positive purposes there
are those who embrace "Kiss & Tell"
criminality online.
••••
An international hacking ring armed
with tens of thousands of corporate
secrets pocketed more than $100 million
from illicit trades, targeting a core
vulnerability of the financial system
in one of the digital age's most
sprawling insider-trading schemes
according to federal
investigators.•••
••••
The indictment
filed in US District Court accused foreign
based hacking network of downloading more
than 150,000 press releases for traders in
the U.S. and elsewhere. The traders paid
the hackers a flat rate or percentage of
the profit.
••••
Since 2010, more
than 30 hackers and traders across
the U.S., Ukraine, Russia and other
countries coordinated to steal and
profit from press releases, which
were scheduled to be delivered
toinvestors from corporate wire
services Business Wire, PR Newswire and
Marketwired, all of which are major public
relations news wire services that public
companies hire to disseminate
market-moving information at set time and
in orderly manner.
••••
The scheme involved
the alleged hacking of businesses news
wire services to pull inside information
from pending but still private press
releases and other documents, so that
rogue traders could get a jump on buying
or selling shares before breaking news
moved the stock prices.
•••••••
With advance
details on financial performance
and corporate mergers from dozens
of companies -- including Bank of
America, Boeing, Ford Motor, Home Depot,
defense contractor Northrop Grumman
and Smith & Wesson -- the
team made rapid and lucrative trades
from shared brokerage accounts,
funneling the money through shell
companies and offshore bank accounts
in Estonia and Macau.
••••Unlike
the recent high-profile hacks of health
insurers, the sophisticated hacks targeted
not just people's identities, but
corporate intelligence, and
some hackers and traders were even
aided by former broker-dealers registered
with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
••••
A companion civil case filed by the SEC
included a wider network of defendants
including hackers, traders and small
securities firms in places such as Moscow,
Paris, Cyprus and Malta.
••••The
hackers, who called the
early-accessed filings 'Kiss & Tell'
"fresh stuff," masked their movements
through proxy servers. In a series of
emails hackers shared instruction on how
to access the servers and even made video
tutorials. In turn Traders sent hackers
"shopping lists' or wish lists" of
upcoming press releases they wanted from
select public companies, many of whom were
large Fortune 500 conglomerates with heavy
interest in market trading.
••••The
defendants simply shared the stolen 'Kiss
& Tell' releases and created servers
on which other defendants, known as
"trader defendant" could quickly access
the releases and trade on them before they
were officially made public. •

is, how can we partner with people to have
