Bank Of New York Mellon: The Pain Won't End Anytime Soon
by Regents ResearchSummary
- Bank of New York Mellon has had a woeful year, posting substantial share price underperformance against peers.
- A flat yield curve has had a much more damaging impact than investors had anticipated and this has resulted in falling revenues and large cuts to Street EPS expectations.
- Longer-term threats have also emerged in the form of fee-concessions in the custody business and structural outflows in high margin asset management mandates, notably equity funds.
- Forward curves indicate further net interest income pressures lie ahead and this points to a high risk of further revenue disappointments. Meanwhile, management has been slow to take action on costs, a situation exacerbated by the search for a new CEO after Charlie Scharf's departure.
- With the shares still trading at a large P/TNAV premium to commercial banking peers, I see more downside and set my downside price target at $42. I recommend switching holdings into alternatives like JPMorgan, Citigroup or Wells Fargo.
It's been a dismal year so far for Bank of New York Mellon (NYSE: BK), with the shares woefully underperforming other US banking peers. YTD performance stands at +2% against State Street's (NYSE:STT) +13% and gains of 20-40% for commercial banking and broker-dealer peers.
The cause is pretty obvious: large cuts to earnings expectations. Street EPS estimates for 2019 have fallen by 8% since this time last year while estimates for 2020 have fallen by 12%. We've seen some stabilisation recently, but my fear is the earnings headwinds haven't abated and further cuts probably lie ahead.
Large cuts to Street earnings estimates are the reason the shares have struggled

This is particularly problematic because the shares continue to trade at a valuation premium to commercial banking peers. P/TNAV is 2.3x against a commercial banking average of 1.4x and 2020e PE is 11.4x against an average of 10.5x. Yes, BK has better profitability (ROTE was 21% last quarter) but as earnings expectations fall, ROTE is in decline. A premium valuation exacerbates the downside share price risks if we get more earnings disappointments.
Against this backdrop I would advise selling the shares and switching into cheaper financial names with better growth prospects like JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM), Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC) or Citigroup (NYSE: C).
Bank of New York Mellon faces both cyclical and structural headwinds
Earnings expectations have fallen because BK's revenue performance so far this year has been much weaker than anticipated. There are both cyclical and structural causes for this. The main reason I'm cautious on the shares is because I don't see an end to these pressures any time soon.
Cyclical headwind - interest rates
The most immediate problem is lower interest rates and, particularly, the flat US yield curve. BK describes its business as fee-based built on recurring revenues. And fee income does indeed account for over 80% of total revenues.
Source: 2018 Investor Day presentation
However, the other important 20% is run-of-the-mill net interest income.
Being a custodial bank, BK has a very sizeable customer deposit base by virtue of its custody, cash management and asset management activities. As of 3Q19, total customer deposits stood at $226bn. BK reinvests these deposits mainly in treasuries, RMBS securities or simply in interest-bearing accounts at the Fed. Its reinvestment portfolio is very short duration, with about a third of the book maturing each quarter.
Source: author's calculations based on company disclosures
As the yield curve has flattened and inverted, this has presented a major problem since the rates BK is paying on its deposits have tended to rise at the same time as the reinvestment yield on its securities portfolio is falling. Coupled with this, competition for deposits - and higher short-term rates - has meant that BK has also experienced a change in its deposit mix, with non-interest bearing deposits shrinking rapidly while balances of interest-paying deposits have gone up.
Deposit competition and higher rates have seen a shift into more expensive interest-paying deposits that have pushed up BK's funding costs
Source: company disclosures
BK isn't alone in facing these pressures. The chart below shows that other peers have seen a similar adverse shift in deposit mix. However, the shift for BK has been much greater than what we've seen in the commercial banks.
BK's balances of non-interest bearing deposits declined by 19% between 3Q18 and 3Q19 whereas JPM saw a decline of only 1% and BAC 6%. Balances of interest-bearing deposits rose by 45% compared to only 15% at JPM and 9% at BAC.
The reason for this is that BK's customers are other banks and institutions that are very quick to react to changes in rates. The commercial banks, in contrast, have primarily less responsive retail deposits where the process evolves more slowly.
BK has experienced a much more adverse shift in deposit mix than peers
Source: author's calculations based on company disclosures
At the same time as these deposit pressures have built up, BK now also faces lower reinvestment yields on its assets as the impact of recent rate cuts feeds through. The total yield on interest-earning assets fell to 2.63% in 3Q having peaked at 2.75% in 1Q. Management cautioned on the 3Q earnings call that this process will continue in coming quarters:
It [the portfolio yield] starts to stabilize when forwards start to stabilize and I think when you look at forwards right now, it's still declining (CFO Mike Santomassimo, 3Q19 earnings call)
Source: company disclosures
The overall impact of these trends is that BK has experienced far higher erosion in net interest margin than other banks because it has faced more aggressive deposit mix changes and because the yield on its short-duration treasury and RMBS security portfolio has fallen faster than the more diversified, lending-driven asset yield of the commercial banks. NII margin was 13% lower YoY in 3Q19. JPM posted a 7% decline, BAC a 3% decline and State Street a 4% decline.
Source: author's calculations based on company disclosures
Falling net interest revenues have been the key problem for BK's top line and they were 10% lower YoY in 3Q19, driving 3% lower total net revenues. Fee-income, in contrast, has been relatively stable, falling only 1% YoY in 3Q.
Source: company disclosures
If we could be sure that the pressure on NII is going to subside from here then I'd be more positive on the shares. However, that doesn't seem to be the case.
The key problem is that the forward curves point to falling rates out to mid-2021. This suggests the asset yield declines we've seen in 3Q and 2Q are going to continue. On the deposit side, competition doesn't seem to be letting up, meaning BK is probably going to see more outflows from non-interest bearing accounts.
Together, this looks like a recipe for further erosion of BK's NII margin. Other banks are going to be facing similar pressures. But BK's ability to manage the process looks more limited because of the nature of its deposit customers and because of the structure and duration of its reinvestment portfolio.
Confirming this view, management guided on the 3Q earnings call that NII in 4Q is likely to be another 4-6% lower QoQ.
We would expect that net interest revenue will be down sequentially by approximately 4% to 6% versus the lease-adjusted net interest revenue in the third quarter. (CFO Mike Santomassimo, 3Q19 earnings call)

Structural headwinds - the passive threat in asset management
NII has been the key short-term problem and the reason that Street EPS estimates have fallen so much.
But BK is also facing pressures on fee income and these look mainly structural in nature rather than cyclical. In particular:
- Low-fee passive investment strategies are putting unrelenting margin pressure on BK's institutional investor clients. Their logical reaction is to press for ever-lower fees for custodial services. Fee-concessions have become a fact of life for BK.
- Concurrent with this, banks looking to diversify away from poor returning investment banking have homed in on securities services and as a profitable, low-capital consuming alternative. JPM has been particularly aggressive in the US, winning, for example, $1tn of custody assets from BlackRock (NYSE:BLK) in 2017. This is compounding the margin pressures.
Fee-income has held up better than NII so far and fell by only 1% YoY in 3Q but the 9m19 YoY comparison is weaker at -4%. BK's largest pool of fee income - asset servicing (custody fees) - fell by 2% YoY despite asset-under-custody balances rising by 4% as fee-concessions took their toll.
Compounding the fee problem is that BK's own asset management activities are also being pressured by the unrelenting growth in the passive sector. Asset management fee revenues were down 9% YoY in 9m19 and BK does appear to have company-specific problems in this business since the revenue performance was much weaker than peers, as was the pace of outflows from its high-margin active equity mandates.

BK is badly off-course for its 2019 targets
On its Investor Day last year, BK said it hoped to post better than 4% revenue growth in 2019. Things have turned out quite differently and Street expectations are now for 4% contraction. Against a target of low-to-mid double-digit EPS growth, 2019 is expected to see growth of only 1% and growth in 2020 of only 3%.
This highlights the scale of the setback the company has suffered.
BK is badly off course compared to 2019 guidance given last year's Investor Day
Source: 2018 Investor Day presentation
My concern is that management still has not adjusted to the reality of the situation and to the on-going revenue pressures the company faces.
Ordinarily, setbacks of this size would demand a reaction on costs but the company has not unveiled any serious cost-cutting measures and has guided for 2H19 costs to be at a similar level to 2H18. This seems inadequate for the scale of revenue erosion we are likely to see. The lack of action on costs is unlikely to be assisted by the company currently undergoing a CEO search after the departure of Charlie Scharf. More likely than not, any serious restructuring will probably be put off until the succession issue has been resolved.
Consequently, BK posted -4% operational leverage last quarter, amongst the weakest of peers.
Source: author's calculations based on company disclosures
Investors are left with a profitable, high-payout company - but one that has gone ex-growth
Investors can still fall back on the twin comforts of high profitability and good payouts. ROTE was 21% in 3Q and has been consistently above 20% in recent periods.
Source: company disclosures
Meanwhile, the company has said it intends to continue paying out ~100% of net profits by way of dividends (20-30%) and share repurchases (~80%).
Combined repurchases and dividends for 2019 are expected to be $4.1bn, which gives the shares an all-in yield of 9%.
Source: company disclosures
However, ROTE is expected by Street estimates to decline in 2020 and, if revenues continue to fall, the risk is this number erodes further. Even if it doesn't, future payouts can't be sustained at current levels if profits are in decline. Consequently, I would be very reluctant to own the shares purely as a yield play, especially when there are plenty of other banking stocks offering similar payouts that are also growing.
Shares look fair value at best and there is downside if earnings continue to disappoint
The shares trade on a premium to commercial banking peers at 2.3x P/TNAV and 11x 2020e EPS. As I said at the outset, I view this as adding to the downside risks if we get further disappointments on earnings.
The twin problems I see for BK are contracting revenues and the consequent risk that Street's numbers are still too high for 2020.
I've tried to accommodate these factors in my valuation model (outlined below) by showing two scenarios.
The first is the "best case" which sees the company meeting current 2020 Street earnings estimates and basing the valuation on a zero-growth assumption. This results in a fair value target of $48.2, which essentially is the current trading level.
My "worst case" assumes 2020 earnings come out at the bottom end of the current consensus range (EPS of $4.0 vs. the consensus mid-range at $4.2) and I also plug in a negative 2% growth factor. This results in a fair value target of $42.1 for 13% downside from the current trading level.
My conclusion is therefore that the shares are at best fairly valued and probably have downside if, as seems likely, 2020 profits come in lower than currently expected. This looks like an unappealing risk-reward and I'd recommend switching out of BK into cheaper commercial banking alternatives like JPM, C or WFC.

The Recurse Center is a free, three-month self-directed program for people who want to get better at programming. I attended fall batch 2 in 2016 from September to December. If you aren’t aware of Recurse Centre, take a couple of minutes to go through recurse.com and read the rest of the piece.
Every day we open a significant amount of doors to get to desired places. Some doors are unique but look dull and plain, but the incredible universe behind the door hides excitement, adventures, gems, friends, and insights.
When I first walked into the door on the first day, I was blank and didn’t know what to expect from RC. Over a period, I did program more, learned programming languages, lessons, picked up tools, thought process, made friends, etc…
Work
During twelve week experimentation, I worked on four projects.
- I wrote a BitTorrent Client in Python.
- Imon - Internet bandwidth monitor in Rust
- I worked on Zulip to add reaction backend missing API.
- Incomplete implementation of Amazon’s DynamoDB paper in Erlang.
Learning
At RC I worked on tasks which were difficult to work at other times. Writing down what I learned is hard for various reasons. I am jotting down points I remember.
- I picked up two new languages, Rust and Erlang which I am euphoric.
- I rekindled my interest in system, network and distributed programming.
- RC is the only place where I have seen folks aren’t afraid to say
I don't know
. This attitude is valuable and activates the mind to discover. I picked up the habit of sayingI don't know, what does that mean?
. - I learned few things about
compassion, empathy, kindness, gratitude and generosity
and dropped a bit of arrogance. - How to prototype experimental projects like don’t worry about file structures, modularity, optimization, right abstraction, etc …
- A better state of mind to focus on programming and curiosity to learn and discover.
- I have previously pair programmed at work but never been fun. Now I have a clear expectation in pair programming and how to handle conflicts when it works and fails.
- R0ml’s talk on write all the code in a single file was intellectually stimulating. I practiced this technique in the project edht. It saved a considerable amount of time. I considered multiple times to refactor the code into multiple files but resisted. Question existing practices and assumptions to find out the real reason for existence and validate personal reasons.
Difficult times
I had my dark days(I am not talking about winter evenings), difficult time to concentrate and felt lost. Sometimes I spent the whole day staring at the code and debugging.I felt depressed when I couldn’t make a progress. Reading Dynamo DB was hard, and paper is intended for a different set of audience. As a developer, every day I read documentations, man pages. The paper expects the reader familiar with concepts in distributed computing.
Next
It’s been four weeks since the batch got over. Every day I am trying to learn something new in programming and learn from the Zulip discussions. Concentrating on everything going on in different streams is hard. That’s how I think I can grow as a better programmer. Push the boundary of what you know, try to grasp and learn different topics.
What I think about RC
RC is a gift to programmers and three months is a sound investment in a programming career. The place and events teaches a lot of technical skills and non-technical skills. Social rules of RC is what makes the place welcoming and puts everyone at home. RC transforms everyone into better programmer or puts you on the track and make you feel better human being. I won’t claim; I became a better programmer and but I can sense the difference in attitude and steps towards improving myself. RC shaped me as a better person! I believe to become a better programmer you need to be a better person.
I am honored to be part of RC and grateful it exists. Thanks for batchmates, alumni, and staff providing an opportunity to grow. Special Thanks to James Dennis who introduced me to Recurse Center (Hacker School at that time) and Suren, Punchagan for helping in RC planning.
It was hard to close the door on the last day knowing I will miss the cherished space.

Abstract
Large scale reconstructions of camera matrices and point clouds have
been created using structure from motion from community photo
collections. Such a dataset is rich in information; it represents a
sampling of the geometry and appearance of the underlying space. In
this paper, we encode the visibility information between and among
points and cameras as visibility probabilities. The conditional
visibility probability of a set of points on a point (or a set of
cameras on a camera) can rank points (or cameras) based on their mutual
dependence. We combine the conditional probability with a distance
measure to prioritize points for fast guided search for the image
localization problem. We define dual problem of feature triangulation as
finding the 3D coordinates of a given image feature point. We use
conditional visibility probability to quickly identify a subset of
cameras in which a feature is visible.

You'll have to point PKG_CONFIG_PATH to /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig (or
replace /usr/local with anything you specify as --prefix in
configure). This only works if the pkg-config tool was already
present when configuring Gecode.
We plan to provide binary packages for 64 bit Windows with our next
release. The release is planned for next week, but the 64 bit
binaries may come a few days later.
Cheers,
Guido

well, oracle thought, their 'processes' and experience with their DB products would work 1:1 in solaris land
that was their first big mistake
when it was sun, a RMA for broken RAM was a 5min issue, oracle made sure we had to put in like 30-45min for that from then on
considering most RMA actually probably was RAM and disks i still wonder how they survived requiring all the broken parts to be sent back
(to the USA, overseas, DHL express)
yea and then all of a sudden the expert engineers of oracle changed all service contract requirements
it just cost everybody involved a lot of money, and thats not even talking about software quality (which, regarding to people that should know, has gone to shit a bit)
one should maybe focus on FreeBSD. it can haz zfs and is a proper done unix

>>> from Bio.Align.Applications import MafftCommandline >>> mafft_exe = "/opt/local/mafft" >>> in_file = "../Doc/examples/opuntia.fasta" >>> mafft_cline = MafftCommandline(mafft_exe, input=in_file) >>> print(mafft_cline) /opt/local/mafft ../Doc/examples/opuntia.fasta If the mafft binary is on the path (typically the case on a Unix style operating system) then you don't need to supply the executable location: >>> from Bio.Align.Applications import MafftCommandline >>> in_file = "../Doc/examples/opuntia.fasta" >>> mafft_cline = MafftCommandline(input=in_file) >>> print(mafft_cline) mafft ../Doc/examples/opuntia.fasta You would typically run the command line with mafft_cline() or via the Python subprocess module, as described in the Biopython tutorial. Note that MAFFT will write the alignment to stdout, which you may want to save to a file and then parse, e.g.:: stdout, stderr = mafft_cline() with open("aligned.fasta", "w") as handle: handle.write(stdout) from Bio import AlignIO align = AlignIO.read("aligned.fasta", "fasta") Alternatively, to parse the output with AlignIO directly you can use StringIO to turn the string into a handle:: stdout, stderr = mafft_cline() from io import StringIO from Bio import AlignIO align = AlignIO.read(StringIO(stdout), "fasta")

Blizzard and NetEase win Overwatch copyright lawsuit in China
by Chris KerrNewsbrief: Overwatch maker Blizzard Entertainment and Chinese distributor NetEase have been awarded 4 million yuan ($569,000) after a court found Chinese publisher 4399 Network guilty of copyright infringement.
As reported by Shine (a digital Shanghai Daily supplement), the Pudong New Area People's Court found that two of 4399 Network's titles, Clash of Fighters and Gunplay Battlefront, intentionally copied aspects of Overwatch including specific character designs, maps, and gameplay elements.
4399 Network had attempted to argue that Overwatch itself actually pulled similar elements from other popular games, and therefore it couldn't be accused of copyright infringement. The court, however, sided with Blizzard and NetEase, resulting in the payout.

Hummingbird is a library that makes it easier to work with tickers and timers in Javascript; Fully scalable to include any number of methods at various iteration speeds and life spans. Using instance or global methods, you can sleep, resume and release methods from being handled.
See the API docs for a more indepth as they are more comprehensive.
 The simplest usage is to create an instance with an inline anonymous function. This will be called 30 times a second.
new Hummingbird(function() {
...
})
or pass in a function to an instance:
function foo() {
...
}
new Hummingbird(foo)
Create without new
operator
The new
keyword is optional with Hummingbird
Hummingbird(foo)
Store a reference
Creating a Hummingbird returns an instance which can be stored in a variable. This is to access direct methods on the instance or to be passed in to global methods for control.
Note: storing in a variable will not allow for proper garbage collection if release
is called on the instance.
const fooBird = Hummingbird(foo)
Optional parameters
There are a number of optional parameters to control the speed, how that speed is interpreted, add a limit to the length of time the handler is called, how that time value is interpreted along with a handler for when that life span.
const fooBird = Hummingbird(foo, {
speedIn: SECONDS, // interpret speed in seconds
speed: 1.3, // will call handler once every 1.3 seconds
lifeSpanIn: FLAPS, // interpret lifeSpan in flaps
lifeSpan: 3, // will call handler only 3 times
onComplete: function(a, b) { // if lifeSpan, add a handler
// a = true, b = 'ruh'
},
onCompleteParams: [true, 'ruh'] // provide params to the handler
})
Controling the instance
There are methods on the Hummingbird instance to sleep (pause), wake (resume), and release (remove) it. Note that if all instances are asleep, the entire engine will stop running. Likewise, if any instance is unpaused, the engine will resume running.
fooBird.sleep()
// or
fooBird.wake()
Expanding to multiple methods
The real strength of Hummingbird comes when multiple methods all need to be called at the same time.
function foo() { ... }
Hummingbird(foo)
const bar = () => { ... }
Hummingbird(bar)
const quz = {
baz: () => { ... }
}
Hummingbird(quz.baz)
This allows for controls to be called on the global static reference to Hummingbird.
Hummingbird.sleep()
// or
Hummingbird.wake()
Mixing speeds
Each instance can have a unique speed allowing for complex combinations.
Hummingbird(foo, { speed: 12 })
Hummingbird(bar, { speed: 24 })
Hummingbird(quz.baz) // uses the default 30 fps
Grouping with Flock
Creating a group can be useful when needing to control multiple instances at once. Simply create a Flock
passin in instances. Then simply call control methods on the Flock
rather than each instance.
import { Hummingbird, Flock } from 'hummingbird'
const fooBird = Hummingbird(foo, { speed: 12 })
const barBird = Hummingbird(bar, { speed: 24 })
const myFlock = new Flock(fooBird, barBird)
myFlock.pause() // stops both Hummingbirds


A Recovery HR Score is very similar to a VO2max. It is a common measure of the maximum amount of oxygen you can use during excercise. This score is a measure of your aerobic endurance that we calculate from your heart rate after exercise, your age, and your gender.
This type of testing has been done in a large number of people. So you can compare your score to a validated table of results and interpretations below:
Your Recovery HR is usually stable over time because your heart and lungs don’t change rapidly. However, you can change your Recovery HR Score over weeks or months by doing things like losing weight, exercising, or quitting smoking.
This app and all of these phone-based heart measurements are for research purposes only. We are still learning the best way to understand and interpret these measurements. You should not base any medical decisions on these measurements. Thank you for helping us to do this research!


The Ubiquiti EdgeRouter Lite is a neat little device that costs less than US$100, has three Ethernet ports, and can run FreeBSD/mips. It's based on the Cavium Octeon CN5020 platform and features a dual core 500mhz MIPS64 processor, 512MB RAM, and 4GB storage on removable USB.
The EdgeRouter Lite in the foreground, near a Netgear WNDR3700 and a bulky
ISP-provided cablemodem.
This page provides ready-to-use images of recent FreeBSD releases. Thanks to the open nature of the EdgeRouter Lite, it's very easy to install and use these images; just follow the instructions below. Thanks to the fine folks at the FreeBSD Project, building your own is almost as easy. A script to build them, along with instructions, is also provided. Special thanks is due to Juli Mallett and Warner Losh, without whose hard work and generous assistance none of this would be possible.
Note that this is experimental software which comes with no warranty of any kind. These builds are works in progress and are not fit or suitable for any purpose whatsoever. By proceeding you assume all risks.
On my EdgeRouter Lite, the builds provided below are stable and pretty much fully functional. There are two outstanding issues:
Hardware crypto acceleration via /dev/crypto
seems to work. Use
AES in CBC mode to see a huge speedup over CTR.
| 2017/03/07 | FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE-p8-r314813 | SHA512 |
| 2014/11/19 | FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-r274683 | SHA512 |
| 2014/01/24 | FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE r261039 | SHA512 |
You can also easily build your own image from the
FreeBSD sources using the provided mkerlimage
script, then
return here to continue with installation.
All you need are the following:
and last but certainly not least,
The EdgeRouter's Lite on-board storage is a removable USB drive. Installing the image is just a matter of opening the device, taking the drive out, writing the image to it, and putting it back in.
The EdgeRouter Lite with the cover removed. Inside is just a board. The
removable USB storage is on the right.
Configuring the bootloader afterwards only takes a minute, and then you're done. If you haven't already set up a serial console for your device, though, you'll need to do that first.
You may wish to skip to the next section if you already have a working connection to the serial console of your EdgeRouter Lite.
The serial console allows you to interact with the device's firmware before boot, which you will need to do to configure it to boot FreeBSD. Since you'll need it anyway, the provided images don't enable the ssh server by default, and you'll log into your new FreeBSD system for the first time this way, as well.
First, connect the RJ-45 console cable to the port marked "Console" on the device. Connect the other end to a 9-pin serial port on your computer if you have one; otherwise connect it to a USB-to-DB9 adapter, and connect that to a USB port on your computer.
Next, you will need any serial communication software. On FreeBSD and Linux
systems, you can install minicom
by entering one of the
following commands:
| System | Command |
| FreeBSD 10.0+ | pkg install minicom |
| FreeBSD 9.x | pkg_add -r minicom |
| Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, etc. | apt-get install minicom |
| Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, etc. | yum install minicom |
On other Unix-like systems, you can try building minicom from source. On MacOS you can do that or try to install it from Fink. On Windows you're on your own; try RealTerm.
Determine the name of the serial port you're using. On FreeBSD systems, USB
serial adapters will have names like /dev/ttyU0
and hard-wired
serial ports, /dev/ttyu0
with a lowercase 'u.' On Linux systems,
the equivalent files are /dev/ttyUSB0
and
/dev/ttyS0
, respectively. If you have more than one, the number
might be greater than '0.' On Windows, it's usually called COM1
,
otherwise COM2
, COM3
, and so on. On MacOS, it might
be /dev/cu.usbserial
; look for other /dev/cu.*
files if not.
Configure the software to use the port, with settings 115200 8N1 and no flow
control. Those are usually close to the defaults, but it's important to get
them right as accidentally leaving flow control enabled or another error
could leave you with a partially or not at all working connection. To
configure minicom, enter the command minicom -s
as root, then
navigate to the "Serial Port Setup" menu.
Start the software and plug power into the device. You should see the EdgeOS
Linux kernel boot and ultimately present you with a login prompt. If your
device was already powered on, just hit the Enter key once or twice to get
a new login prompt. Type something at the login prompt to verify that your
connection is working properly. For example, you can log into EdgeOS (the
default user and password are both ubnt
) and run the
halt
command to shut it down and prepare for installing FreeBSD.
Unplug the device completely and open the plastic case by removing all the screws. Notice the lone USB port containing a removable drive on one end of the board. You can use your fingers to take the drive out, but it's a little slippery, so you might need to use your shirt for grip. It turns out there's a benefit to wearing shirts around the house, after all.
Plug the drive into your computer. For FreeBSD, Linux and other Unix-like
systems, the command to write the image to the drive is below. You'll need to
download the xz
software
for MacOS or if it's otherwise not installed. On Windows, which doesn't have
dd
, you're on your own; try the
Ubuntu Image Writer
(you'll also have to download xz
).
Determine the device name assigned by your system. On FreeBSD, it will be
something like /dev/da3
, where the '3' will be the first
available number after all your other SCSI and USB drives. On Linux,
it will be something like /dev/sdf
, where the 'f' will be the
first available letter after all your other ATA, SCSI and USB drives. On
MacOS, it will be something like /dev/rdisk1
.
Ensure it wasn't mounted automatically, by substituting your device name in the following commands and running them as root:
mount | grep '^/dev/devicename' | awk '{print $1}' | xargs -n1 umount mount | grep '^/dev/devicename'
If these commands produce no output, and you're certain you have the device name correct, proceed with the following command as root, substituting your device name and the filename of the image you downloaded or built. Warning: a simple typo in the device name can wipe out your system's boot partition. Check carefully before hitting the enter key.
xzcat freebsd-ubiquiti-edgerouter-lite.debug.image.xz | dd of=/dev/devicename bs=1024kThis will take a few minutes. When finished, remove the drive and put it back into the EdgeRouter Lite. Reconnect the console cable, ensure your terminal software is running, and plug power into the device.
The first time you power up the device with the new image, the bootloader
won't know what to do and will drop you to a prompt. Enter these commands to
save the command sequence needed to boot FreeBSD to a variable
(boot_freebsd
in this example):
setenv boot_freebsd 'fatload usb 0 $loadaddr kernel/kernel ; bootoctlinux $loadaddr coremask=0x3' saveenv
You can now boot to FreeBSD simply by entering this command:
run boot_freebsd
Optionally, enter the following command to skip the pre-boot countdown.
Personally, using minicom, I am still able to access the U-Boot console by
sending a BREAK
at the first signs of life on the serial port, so
I prefer not to have a delay. If you don't want to risk locking yourself
out of the U-Boot console, skip this command or replace the 0
with something like 3
(it's in seconds):
setenv bootdelay 0
Finally, to boot directly to FreeBSD by default, enter these commands:
setenv bootcmd_orig $(bootcmd) setenv bootcmd 'run boot_freebsd' saveenv reset
At this point, you should be looking at a fully booted multi-user FreeBSD system. One of the first things you'll want to do is expand the filesystem to use all the free space left over on the drive after you wrote the relatively small image to it.
Log in as root, then enter this command to bring the system to single-user mode:
init 1Press
ENTER
to accept the default shell, then enter the following
commands:
df -h / mount -o ro / gpart resize -i 2 da0 gpart resize -i 1 da0s2 growfs /dev/da0s2a df -h /You should be able to see much more available space in the second
df
invocation. Enter the reboot
command to reboot
back into multi-user mode.
/etc/rc.conf
file to set up
networking and services, and refer to
The FreeBSD Handbook
for system administration basics.
device pf
and pflog
added to default kernel config. Also available
via git
with change history.
To build your own version from the FreeBSD sources, you will also need a
computer running the same version of FreeBSD you wish to build. If your
FreeBSD version is too old, a newer source tree's buildworld
may
fail. I recommend first building, installing and booting the same version of
the source on the build system as you plan to cross-build for the router.
Refer to The FreeBSD
Handbook for more information about obtaining FreeBSD sources, the
buildworld
process and updating your FreeBSD system.
Even if you use another OS, you can install FreeBSD inside a virtual machine, and use it to build a version of itself for your EdgeRouter Lite.
The mkerlimage
script does everything
needed to build the image from a fresh copy of the FreeBSD sources. It
performs the following steps:
sys/mips/conf/ERL
doesn't exist, creates a simple one
based on the OCTEON1
configuration.TARGET=mips
and TARGET_ARCH=mips64
, then
invokes buildworld
and buildkernel
to build the
base system and kernel.installworld
and distribution
to
install the newly built system to a temporary root.Please review the script before running it. In particular, make sure that you check the following:
/usr/obj
by default. For the mips64 build, this will require
at least 1.3GBytes of free space. Set the MAKEOBJDIRPREFIX
environment variable if you want to put them somewhere else.temp_root
setting at the top of the script, or it will
all go to /tmp
by default.
make_args
setting at
the top of the script is appropriate for your build machine.
On success, you will have an xz
-compressed image, ready to
decompress and dd
onto the destination. Follow the
installation instructions, above.

LADIES ON THE ROCKS (director: Christian Braad Thomsen; cast: Anne Marie Helger (Laura), Helle Ryslinge (Micha), Flemming Quist Møller (Leonard), Hans Henrik Clemensen (Hans-Henrik), 1983-Denmark)
The two girls, probably in their mid-twenties, Micha (Ryslinge) and Laura (Helger), have a variety revue act, which they named "Ladies Trip", where they do comic skits with strong sexual innuendoes and some song numbers in various nightclubs, bars, and meeting halls across Denmark.
Micha is single and disillusioned with her wry circumstances, feeling that life has dealt her some bad cards to play with, as her life is a game of losing hands. She is looking for something more romantic in her life and can't find it in the men she goes out with. Leonard (Møller) is her rock and roll musician boyfriend who likes her because she is a good bang but finds he has nothing else in common with her, treating her with disrespect and coldness, overtly showing her that he doesn't give one rap about her, and making no bones about it. She feels like an addict who is addicted sexually to this guy that she knows is no good for her and can't do anything to get him out of her system, while hating herself for being as weak-minded about it as she is. Laura, on the other hand, is in an upper-class marriage, living a very comfortable existence with her stable business executive husband and two sweet daughters. Her husband treats her act as a hobby, and seems to offer her all the creature comforts of what an ideal nuclear family should have. Appearance-wise, she seems to have it all in her favor.
We soon see Micha and Laura preparing to go on a long tour with their act, with Micha almost out-of-her head with rage that Leonard stood her up for another girl, swearing she never wants to see him again, while Laura breathes a sigh of relief that she has escaped for a bit from the stuffy existence she has, though she is none too happy about Micha being on such a downer to start their tour, telling her to put that bad stuff out of her mind, that this is our trip.
This is fundamentally a feminist oriented road movie without the politics of the movement playing a part in the story, as the film is steeped in personal irony over abandonment of loved ones and fantasies that can't become real, without any particular message to deliver, except that these two have their hands full coping with their life, as it seems, it is only by their humor and forceful spirit that they can manage to survive.
On their first stop, they give a bawdy performance in the library and are then asked to stay after and answer questions from the audience. Since they consider themselves artists, they feel their act speaks for itself and are particularly upset at being blind sided by one hostile viewer of their show, an overweight lady who feels that they made fun of how obese women look in their act and she felt they did a disservice to women who have that problem, as she upsets them as she rails at them before walking out.
The remainder of the film takes place on the road, emphasizing how the girls relate to each other: from their girl talk and gossipy chatter and need to let off steam from all the anger that builds up in them, to their ever-demanding personal lives, as Micha is still hard-pressed to find a true romantic relationship and Laura is confused about who she is.
Micha angrily questions the bourgeois patrons who invite them for an after-the-show snack, how they can justify making most of the money off their work and look down upon them with a snobbish attitude, while they just scrape by on a minimal amount of money even though they do all the hard work. Laura has retreated to the basement with their patron's elderly father who has a tremendous passion for trains and runs his model trains to imitate the Danish train system, even to the point of its lateness of schedule. Since the family treats him as someone not to be taken seriously, yet it is quite evident, that he, alone, has a real love for something that the bourgeois in his family just don't have.
We see how tough the road is for the girls, as they make toast on their hotel's radiator, and how they bring a piss pail along with them because some of the places they play at don't have bathrooms, and we see how uncomfortable they feel, always on the move and always cast as outsiders who feel alienated from the locals.
What comes across very lucidly, is how others look upon them so much reflects the attitudes they come away with, as their comic act begins to get more bitter and more sexually revealing, as their lives begin spinning out of control, though their act is working and they are playing to mostly sold-out houses.
When Hans-Henrik (Clemensen), the very middle-class husband of Laura catches one of their out-of -town shows and takes Laura out to eat in a fancy restaurant she is most uncomfortable in, their relationship is at last shown to be the sham it is, as he questions the explicit sexual kinkiness of her act and the lowbrow humor it arouses, ashamed if any one in his office would see a wife of his in such a third-rate show.
On the road, the filmmaker brings out the opinions the various sort of people the girls meet have of performers and, especially, female ones out on their own. A chocolate salesman tells them every one is an actor trying to sell their product, but the important thing is, if you try hard enough people will forgive you for what you are lacking or might not even notice it. That his gimmick is to get the children to eat the chocolate first, then the parents are delighted that the kids like the chocolate, so his sale becomes an easy one. He fails miserbly when he tries to seduce Micha, which should tell you what the filmmaker thinks of his approach to life. A bartender tells them the last time he was at a show was 20 years ago, and he walked out at intermission. The girls innocently tell him that they don't have intermissions during their shows.
It is hard to say for sure what the film is crying out to say from all the self-discoveries that keep happening to the girls, as their act grows despite- and- because of their personal failures, and as Laura gets divorced and the kids become showbiz kids travelling with the act, and Micha is stuck with the problem she always has, she can't find Mr. Right.
It seems as if the women are disgruntled that men have let them down, and that their life has turned into a series of one-night stands. Though, what stands out, is the marvelously genuine performances of the heroines of the story and how appealing they were in such a troublesome way, that there public appearance might seem calm and collected, but behind the scenes they are being gnawed at by all the chaos in their life.
This thought provoking film, touched many different themes with equal breath and veracity, but this also highlighted its most glaring weakness, that it couldn't focus in on any one theme completely, as it mostly questioned middle-class values and the need for a person to find a way to express themselves enthusiastically, pointing out that maybe, that is all one can hope for, yet leaving so many other things unanswered that it brought up, that you could write your own movie from all that was left unsaid that remains speculative about the girls and their situation.
Ultimately, the road itself must be considered the goal of the trip, and this engaging film allows you to feel the pains of the girls who are still searching for their own identities; but strangely enough, even as the film ends with the weary girls wondering what's next, as they finish their act and are sitting where the audience sat moments before, you get the feeling that things will somehow or other work out for them, that these are some pretty toughened and likable characters, and they have left a good impression with the audience, which is why their act had so many sell-outs and why they should be pleasing to the audience that sees them on film, except this audience has to look at the girl's a bit deeper knowing all the disappointments and discomforts they have gone through, and I don't know if there is a mass audience out there willing to see things that are harder to look at, without feeling remiss about what they are seeing.

Wide with Icon, 1 Level
Wide Text Only, 1 Level
Important: This type of Side Navigation does not have Narrow variant.
Wide Text Only, 3 Level, Collapse-Only
Important: This type of Side Navigation does not have Narrow variant. In the "Collapse-Only"
variants, clicking an item that has a child list only expands/collapses the child items. The parent item is not
itself navigable.
Wide with Icon, 3 Level, Collapse-Only
In the "Collapse-Only" variants, clicking an item that has a child list only expands/collapses the child items. The
parent item is not itself navigable.
Wide with Icon, 3 Level, Navigation and Collapse
In this example, the items that have children are navigable themselves, and the button to the side of the parent
items acts separately, expanding or collapsing the child elements.
Dynamic Width
Side Navigation can react dynamically to long label texts in navigational items. In such case the width of the Side
Navigation is adapted by the longest label. The label does not wrap or truncate. Use the input
[dynamicWidth]
for Side Navigation with dynamic width.
Navigation with Filter Input
A search input can be added to allow the user to filter through the list of navigation items. The side nav occupies
the height of its container, so it is advised to be placed in a container of a fixed height, as in the example
below.
Narrow
For the narrow variant of the side navigation, use the [narrow]
input.
Navigation with Overflow in Narrow Mode
If the side navigation is in narrow mode and it contains more items than can be displayed due to the height of its
parent container, overflow buttons will be made visible, allowing the user to vertically scroll through the items.
This behavior can be disabled by setting the side navigation's [showScrollButtons]
input to false.
Navigation with Shellbar
To use the CX Side Navigation with fd-shellbar
, you must pass a template variable for the
fdx-side-nav
to the [sideNav]
input of the fd-shellbar
. This will ensure that
the shellbar has the correct paddings. See the example below.
Navigation in Mobile Mode
Use the [mobile]
input to use the side navigation in mobile mode. This will make the side nav occupy
the entire screen. In this example, the side navigation is wrapped in a 320x480px container.

H.B. Woodrose
First LSA (Riders On The Storm)
Substance: Hawaiian Baby Woodrose Seeds (argyreia nervosa)
Subject: Male/40yrs, 160 LB
Health Status: Fair
Medications: None
Nutritional Status: Excellent
History: LSD---quite familiar. Mushrooms---only a few small trips. Cannabis---extensive.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
After a 5-yr. vacation from psychedelics, subject decided to try an LSA intoxication. The first attempt was disastrous for reasons unnecessary to discuss, but successful enough to know I had the real deal (HBWS) here. Three days later I visited a friend who had not tripped in yrs and wanted too. My friend and his g/f did a clear water extraction of 12 seeds. Time: approx. 9:00 PM. The seeds were first thoroughly scrapped with a sharp knife and then crushed with pliers, then ground into semi-powder form. Seed powder was emptied and shaken in clear water (about 4oz) plastic bottle for aprox 20 minutes. The contents was filtered and 4 more oz water added and filtered again. Friend began to trip about 30 minutes following ingestion. G/f crashed out in bed. My g/f and I repeated the extraction process w/ 6 seeds. She never felt any effects except some nausea, while I began feeling the effects immediately.
It was an unseasonably warm November night with severe thunderstorm warnings on TV and the beginnings of lightning in the air. After about 30 minutes, I experienced no nausea and decided to crush and chew one seed. With my g/f needing to go to her home in the country, we split leaving my friend zoned out on computer games but tripping indeed. By the time we got to her house (proly 1 hr after ingestion) I began experiencing all the conscious expanding qualities typical of LSD intoxication with the exception of visual hallucination. It was a rather rustic setting in rural mid-south U.S.A. I took a peculiar notice of several pieces of engraved artifacts. Hand or factory made clay, ceramic or synthetic, painted clowns, jesters, Native American Indians, among others. Not having much exposure to primary art forms, I simply let my LSA mind absorb these motionless artifacts, feeling the intent of their existence.
With the need to return to my place (approx. 40 miles), we hit the road. Shit, now Iím peaking and this storm is getting closer. I simply took my time and relished the experience. Beautiful colored bright autumn leaves in and from trees swirling in the lightning charged night sky and shinning brilliant in the car headlights. Not many miles to destination, we hit a severe storm w/ intense rain and wind. I didnít seem prone to panic and willed my mind into a survival mode. Riders On The Storm. The remaining trip was simply focused on getting some sleep. 6 mg melatonin and some herbal sleep aid closed the curtain quite well. I woke about 5 hrs latter quite refreshed and energetic and experienced a good afterglow all day. HBWS have a distinguishable and authentic ergot signature.
It is now almost 6 days latter and I still feel the remnants of this plants power. I had planned on dosing again yesterday but could not. After a 24 hr extraction of 4 seeds, I tried a rectal administration only hrs ago w/ no noticeable effects except runny stool from enema. From now on I will extract w/ clear water for about 15 minutes; any longer extraction period would presumably only allow more undesirable plant material and itís bad side effects. If my plant matter were in a more pulverized form (powder), the recommended 6 minuets would probably be ideal.
Philosophical Implications: The overriding thought during this trip was the mysterious nature of reality. This psychedelic experience did reveal the fact that reality isnít what oneís rational mind always supposed it to be, but what indeed is reality? What philosophy, religion, art, science, will objectify my subjective experience? As my mind spanned across numerous paths both far and near, I could only know that Mind must be directed by Will in whichever path possible in my world.
My mind is large and path is small
