Julius Baer Group

Julius Bär Group AG, known alternatively as Julius Baer Group Ltd., is a private banking corporation founded and based in Switzerland. Headquartered in Zürich, it is among the older Swiss banking institutions. In terms of assets under management, Julius Baer is number two among Swiss banks after UBS and the biggest pure-play private bank. The bank's reputation has been marred by various controversies and legal challenges. These include a legal dispute with WikiLeaks in 2008, allegations of aiding U.S. citizens in tax evasion in 2011, and a censure by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) in 2020 for deficiencies in combating money laundering. The bank has also been implicated in money laundering scandals involving corrupt Venezuelan officials and has faced investigations for its role in the FIFA corruption case. These controversies have cast a shadow on its legacy and raised questions about its compliance and ethical practices.

Established as a traditional private bank and named after Swiss banker Julius Bär, it provides investment management, real estate financing, wealth management, and select offerings in sales and trading based on an open and managed architecture. The majority of income is generated by commissions and service fees. Located in 28 countries, it is known for its banking secrecy and client confidentiality. Julius Baer employs a staff of over 6,600 worldwide. However, Julius Baer has controversies and legal challenges, including a legal dispute with WikiLeaks in 2008, allegations of aiding U.S. citizens in tax evasion in 2011, and censure by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) in 2020 for deficiencies in combating money laundering.

The group manages assets for private clients from all over the world. The firm's services consist mainly of wealth management and investment consultancy. The bank provides products via its open architecture platform as well as securities and foreign exchange trading. The shares of the Julius Baer Group are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and form part of the SMI MID, the mid-cap stock index comprising the 30 largest and most liquid listed Swiss companies not in the SMI.

History

Julius Bär Group Ltd. is a Swiss private banking group which is the parent company of Bank Julius Baer, a traditional private bank based in Zürich, Switzerland. The firm dates itself back to 1890 when an exchange office was founded by Ludwig Hirschhorn and Theodor Grob. Grob left the firm again in 1896 when at the same time Joseph Michael Uhl and Julius Bär joined. In 1901, Julius Bär acquired the bank and remained as partner until 1922. Hans E. Mayenfisch joined the bank on 1 July 1913 as partner and was active until 1947. The sons of Julius Bär became partners as follows: Walter Bär on 1 October 1913 until 1947, Werner Bär in 1921 until his death on 2 February 1960 and Richard Bär, who was a physicist became a silent partner in 1922. After his death in 1940 he was succeeded by his widow Ellen Bär.

The members of the 3rd generation became active in the bank with Hans Bär on 21 August 1947 until 1996, last as chairman of the board of Julius Baer Holding Ltd, Nicolas Bär on 22 September 1951 until March 1993, last as Chairman of Bank Julius Baer & Co.Ltd, Peter Bär on 1 November 1955 until his death on 11 November 1998 last as member of the board of Julius Baer Holding Ltd., and Rudolf Bär 1969 until 2005, last as member of the board of Julius Baer Holding Ltd. Hans Bär was succeeded as chairman by Thomas Bär 1996 until 2003. On 4 July 1970 Dr. Ernst Bieri, former head of the finance department of the City of Zürich joined as outside partner until 1990 as member of the board of Julius Baer Holding Ltd.

Since 1980, the Bank began accepting non-family investors until it became a listed public company in 2005. In September 2005, the bank acquired the formerly independent private bankers Ferrier, Lullin & Cie SA, Ehinger & Armand von Ernst AG, Banco di Lugano and the asset management house GAM (Global Asset Management) from UBS, making it one of the largest independent asset managers in Switzerland. In 2012, the bank acquired Merrill Lynch's wealth management business outside the US from Bank of America. The 4th generation was involved with the leadership of the bank with Raymond Bär from 1988 until 2012, last as chairman of the board of Julius Baer Holding Ltd. Michael Bär joined the bank in 1992 and was active in various senior operating functions, last as a member of the group executive committee until 2005. As representatives of the family shareholders Mark Bär (1999–2005), Andreas Bär (2003–2005) and Beatrice Speiser-Bär (2003–2009) were members of the board of Julius Baer Holding Ltd. Since its inception in 2014, the bank has been title sponsor of the FIA Formula E championship. The number of personnel by full-time equivalent grew from around 400 in 1980 to more than 2'000 in the year 2000 and further to more than 6'000 in 2020 when nearly half of them were employed in Julius Baer offices abroad.

In July 2023, Julius Baer decided to refuse to work with clients domiciled in Russia. The bank began sending out letters to customers informing them that their accounts will be closed on December 31, cards and contracts will be cancelled. The letter states that "due to the current circumstances" the bank will no longer be able to offer services "that meet our standards".

Capital and scale
Julius Baer originally operated as a partnership and was incorporated on 27 November 1974 with a share capital of CHF 14.040 million, divided into 56,400 registered shares of CHF 100 each and 16,800 bearer shares of CHF 500 each. The company went public in 1980. The Baer Families relinquished control in 2005 converting the share capital into a single class of registered shares all quoted at the SIX Swiss Exchange. Today, MFS Investment Management is the single biggest shareholder with nearly 10% of voting rights.

In 2020, Julius Baer announced it plans to slash 300 jobs, a decision which is a part of the company's CEO's three-year plan to improve the bank's profit margins.

Acquisitions
In September 2005, Julius Bär acquired the independent private banks Ferrier Lullin, Ehinger & Armand von Ernst, Banco di Lugano, and the asset management house Global Asset Management (GAM) from the Swiss banking giant UBS AG, to become one of the largest independent wealth management firms in Switzerland. UBS acquired almost 21% of Baer's shares as part of the deal, but sold off its stake in May 2007 to fund a share buyback. GAM was demerged as a separate company in October 2009. The companies of the group are consolidated within Julius Bär Gruppe AG, whose shares are listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange.

In November 2012, Julius Baer and Milan-based Kairos Investment Management SpA (‘Kairos’) announced that they had reached an agreement for a cooperation to jointly create a leading onshore wealth management player in Italy. Julius Baer’s Italian SIM was integrated into Kairos and, simultaneously, Julius Baer acquired 19.9% of Kairos. All Italian wealth management activities of the two groups run under the name Kairos Julius Baer.

Julius Baer acquired Merrill Lynch’s International Wealth Management business (IWM), based outside the US, in August 2012, for 860 million Swiss francs ($884.8 million). The deal grew Julius Baer's assets under management by 40%, raising the AuM to 251 billion francs ($258.2 billion).

In July 2014, Julius Baer announced that it had purchased the private banking assets of Israeli Bank Leumi.

WikiLeaks
In February 2008, Julius Baer Group sent cease and desist letters to Wikileaks and its domain registrar, Dynadot, resulting in subsequent legal action. This legal action was initiated after Wikileaks published documents related to about 1,600 clients with accounts in a Baer subsidiary in the Cayman Islands. These documents purportedly exposed alleged tax evasion and money laundering schemes.

The case garnered significant attention due to its implications for free speech and the right to information. It became a critical point of discussion among various organizations and media entities concerning the ethics and legality of whistleblowing and the publication of sensitive financial information. Initially, Julius Baer obtained a permanent injunction against Dynadot, resulting in the shutdown of the Wikileaks.org domain name. This move was widely criticized as an overreach and a potential violation of First Amendment rights in the United States. In response to this injunction, a coalition of organizations including the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), and others intervened in the case, arguing against the injunction on the grounds of free speech and the public's right to know. Following the legal arguments and public backlash, the court, presided over by Judge White, dissolved the injunction on February 29, 2008. This decision allowed Wikileaks to restore its domain name and continue its operations. The court's decision was influenced by First Amendment concerns and the arguments raised by the intervenors and amici curiae. Subsequently, Julius Baer moved to dismiss the case on 5 March 2008, effectively ending the lawsuit. This outcome was seen as a significant victory for free speech advocates and set a precedent for how similar cases might be handled in the future, particularly those involving the publication of leaked documents on digital platforms.

Reaction
Julius Baer's attempt to silence WikiLeaks backfired spectacularly thanks to the Streisand effect. Initially, the bank obtained an injunction prohibiting WikiLeaks from publishing specific documents, but this garnered little media attention. However, their overzealous second injunction seeking to shut down the entire WikiLeaks website triggered a global outcry. This excessive measure only served to draw more attention to the very information they wanted to suppress, as only a small portion of the documents concerned Julius Baer directly.

WikiLeaks cleverly circumvented the website shutdown by utilizing alternate domains and an accessible IP address. Pursuing further legal action to block these alternatives would have been a complex and geographically scattered endeavor, proving challenging for Julius Baer.

Adding to the drama, a fabricated claim of misidentification was exposed. When an individual disputed their inclusion in the leaked documents, WikiLeaks appended a caveat attributing the information to "three independent sources." This, however, turned out to be a fabrication, further highlighting the complexity and potential inaccuracies within the leaked data.

On 17 January 2011, Rudolf Elmer provided Wikileaks with the alleged bank account details of 2,000 individuals and corporations from three financial institutions, including Julius Baer. Elmer, a previous employee of Julius Baer, worked for the bank from the early 1980s until 2002 when he was dismissed for data theft. In 2008, Elmer had previously leaked bank information to Wikileaks, according to the German magazine Der Spiegel, which had referred to his documents as ‘partly authentic and partly fake'. It was subsequently reported that the discs had been empty, and the event a ploy to draw attention to Elmer’s court proceedings in Switzerland.

Suicide of the CEO
Alex Widmer, the chief executive of Bank Julius Baer, killed himself on 4 December 2008 at the age of 52. Widmer's death was a significant event in the banking world, given his influential role and the prestige of the institution he led. Widmer joined Julius Baer in 2005 and was appointed CEO of the bank in November 2007. The circumstances of Widmer's death were surrounded by reports of suicide, though official details were not publicly disclosed. His passing was mourned deeply within the industry, with Julius Baer's Chairman Raymond J. Baer expressing condolences and noting Widmer's significant contributions to the bank. Widmer was succeeded by Hans de Gier, former CEO of Julius Baer Group, who assumed responsibilities on an interim basis. Hans de Gier, the former chief of Julius Baer Group, assumed Widmer's responsibilities for the interim.

In May 2009, Boris Collardi assumed the role as CEO for the Julius Baer Group Ltd. and Bank Julius Baer & Co. Ltd.

U.S. Federal Investigation
In 2011, Julius Baer became one of a dozen Swiss banks to come under U.S. federal investigation for allegedly aiding US citizens in committing tax evasion. The bank subsequently chose to engage with federal investigators, cooperating with the US Department of Justice investigation and accepting responsibility for its conduct. On 4 February 2016, the bank signed a deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ and agreed to pay a fine of $547 million. Acting Chief Executive Bernhard Hodler reacted to the agreement in a statement saying that "This important step confirms Julius Baer's approach to cooperating constructively with competent authorities and our commitment to fulfill our regulatory obligations and responsibilities."

Money Laundering
On 20 February 2020 the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) censured Julius Baer for falling "significantly short" in combating money laundering between 2009 and 2018 with regards to corruption allegations involving FIFA and PDVSA, Venezuela's state-owned oil and gas company. FINMA ordered Julius Baer to change its remuneration and recruitment policies, and appointed an auditor to oversee the bank to ensure its compliance with anti-money laundering standards. In March 2021, FINMA lifted the ban on large acquisitions for Julius Baer. The move was driven by a report by an independent auditor that supervised the implementation of the measures that FINMA ordered. Julius Baer said it welcomed the move and noted the "significant progress the bank has made in strengthening its company-wide risk management."

Julius Baer, a Swiss bank, faced significant controversy stemming from its involvement in a money laundering scheme associated with corrupt Venezuelan officials. The scandal came to light in 2018 when Matthias Krull, a former banker at Julius Baer, was arrested on money laundering charges in Miami while vacationing with his family. Krull's cooperation with U.S. authorities led to a reduction in his 10-year prison sentence by 65% in September 2023. Swiss regulators also found systemic failures in Julius Baer's compliance practices in 2022, which included deficiencies in identifying its Latin American clients and incentivizing behaviors that raised money laundering concerns.

In 2015, Julius Baer began cooperating with the US Department of Justice concerning its investigation of alleged money laundering and corruption involving officials and affiliates of the world soccer federation, FIFA. Julius Baer subsequently entered into a three-year deferred prosecution agreement with the DOJ & agreed to pay fines totaling over $79 million. On May 27, 2021, Julius Baer finalized the agreement with the DOJ, resolving the investigation of the Bank’s role.

Financial Times Investigation into Fraud at Julius Baer
In October 2023, the Financial Times published an investigation into alleged Julius Baer fraud. The article tells about the couple Gregory and Vera Mirlas who entrusted their wealth to the Swiss private bank Julius Baer through an independent wealth management advisor. Subsequently, they discovered a significant misappropriation of their assets starting in 2009. This alleged fraud came to light in October 2019, when the couple met with their Goldman Sachs banker at Julius Baer's headquarters and discovered significant discrepancies in their account balances. Their former advisor, Benjamin G. of Julius Baer, was later charged with embezzlement and sentenced to three years in prison in October 2023. The couple also filed civil lawsuits against Benjamin G. and Julius Baer, as well as a complaint with FINMA, the Swiss financial regulator, to investigate potential compliance violations and facilitation of money laundering by the bank.

Julius Baer Foundation
The main focus of the Julius Baer Foundation is youth, vocational training, recycling and wealth inequality. Projects that directly benefit the younger generation are sponsored in various ways. Set up in 1965 by Walter J. Baer initially for charitable causes in Switzerland, the scope has grown together with the expansion of the business to a global scale. Julius Baer Foundation works together with and supports among others Sistema B (Chile), Solafrica (Ethiopia), Swisscontact (Switzerland) and Plastic Free Planet (UK). It continues its traditional support of the Julius Baer employee-based JB Cares organisation and selected art museums in Switzerland.

In 2020, JB Cares and the JB Foundation supported aid programmes in Lebanon following the accident in the port of Beirut on 4 August 2020.

Since 2019, Romeo Lacher has been the president and chairman of the Julius Baer Foundation. Andreas Weinberg serves as vice president.

Don't create nonsense. Don't create pages attacking other people. Look up the definitions of slander and libel and determine how much money you are willing to lose in a law suit. RickK 23:00, May 30, 2005 (UTC)

Rory is a friend of mine. Trying to instill fear through the masses by threatening lawsuits isn't a very honorable deed. I had planned to remove the article myself after showing it to my friend. I had no intentions of cluttering up this fine Encyclopedia. I would suggest that in the future, you simply delete unnecessary articles, channel your volatile emotions into the mouse, and keep your mouth shut. By shaking your fist with definitions of legal terms towards the user, you are only going to aggravate them further and present yourself as a total ass.

As much as I have enjoyed this little tit-tet, I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to revert back to editing your articles and discontinue cluttering my User Talk page with your idle threats.

Good day to you sir.

 * You cannot remove an article once it has been posted, as you are not an administrator. This article would have stayed here until an administrator happened to have found the article and deleted it.  Considering there are hundreds of thousands of articles on Wikipedia, who knows when that might have been, had I not seen it at the time you added it?  Why would you possibly create an article attacking a "friend" which gives the friends name and home town, on an Internet encyclopedia which can be seen by millions of readers around the world?  Some friend.  You might want to consider using the sandbox for your games, but don't create articles you don't want to keep in the article name space.  Considering your attitude, and having once been warned, if you do such a thing again, you will be blocked from editing.  RickK 20:49, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

Welcome to wkipedia. I advise you to continue to make contributions to wikipedia in a civilized manor, unlike Inception (2010 film). Please refrain from using profanity on wikipedia. Chaos Master Chat

Sorry but that's really ridiculous. Whose idea was it to post that information three days before the movie comes out? I mean, really, this isn't the imdb forums; this isn't some movie news website. Ok. This is Wikipedia. This place is supposed to be a source of information, not the go to place for "all your movie endings." I am outraged. I've been waiting on this movie for two years.

Large for gestational age

Large for gestational age (LGA) is a term used to describe infants that are born with an abnormally high weight, specifically in the 90th percentile or above, compared to other babies of the same developmental age. Macrosomia is a similar term that describes excessive birth weight, but refers to an absolute measurement, regardless of gestational age. Typically the threshold for diagnosing macrosomia is a body weight between 4000 and 4500 g, or more, measured at birth, but there are difficulties reaching a universal agreement of this definition.

Evaluating an infant for macrosomia or LGA can help identify risks associated with their birth, including labor complications of both the parent and the child, potential long-term health complications of the child, and infant mortality.

Signs and symptoms
Fetal macrosomia and LGA often do not present with noticeable patient symptoms. Important signs include large fundal height (uterus size) and excessive amniotic fluid (polyhydramnios). Fundal height can be measured from the top of the uterus to the pubic bone and indicates that the newborn is likely large in volume. Excessive amniotic fluid indicates that the fetus’ urine output is larger than expected, indicating a larger baby than normal; some symptoms of excessive amniotic fluid include

 * shortness of breath
 * swelling of lower extremities & abdominal wall
 * uterine discomfort or contractions
 * fetal malposition, such as breech presentation.

Complications
LGA or macrosomic births can lead to complications for both the mother and the infant.

Infant complications
Common risks in LGA babies include shoulder dystocia, hypoglycemia, brachial plexus injuries, metatarsus adductus, hip subluxation and talipes calcaneovalgus, due to intrauterine deformation.

Shoulder dystocia occurs when the infant's shoulder becomes impacted on the mother's pubic symphysis during birth. Newborns with shoulder dystocia are at risk of temporary or permanent nerve damage to the baby's arm, or other injuries such as fracture. Both increased birth weight and diabetes in the gestational parent are independent risk factors seen to increase risk of shoulder dystocia. In non-diabetic women, shoulder dystocia happens 0.65% of the time in babies that weigh less than 8 lb, 6.7% of the time in babies that weigh 8 lb to 9 lb, and 14.5% of the time in babies that weigh more than 9 lb. In diabetic women, shoulder dystocia happens 2.2% of the time in babies that weigh less than 8 lb, 13.9% of the time in babies that weigh 8 lb to 9 lb, and 52.5% of the time in babies that weigh more than 9 lb. Although larger babies are at higher risk for shoulder dystocia, most cases of shoulder dystocia happen in smaller babies because there are many more small and normal-size babies being born than large babies.

LGA babies are at higher risk of hypoglycemia in the neonatal period, independent of whether the mother has diabetes. Hypoglycemia, as well as hyperbilirubinemia and polycythemia, occurs as a result of hyperinsulinemia in the fetus.

High birth weight may also impact the baby in the long term as studies have shown associations with increased risk of overweight, obesity, and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Studies have shown that the long-term overweight risk is doubled when the birth weight is greater than 4,000 g. The risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus as an adult is 19% higher in babies weighing more than 4,500 g at birth compared to those with birth weights between 4,000 g and 4,500 g.

Pregnant mother complications
Complications of the pregnant mother include: emergency cesarean section, postpartum hemorrhage, and obstetric anal sphincter injury. Compared to pregnancies without macrosomia, pregnant women giving birth to newborns weighing between 4,000 grams and 4,500 grams are at two times greater risk of complications, and those giving birth to infants over 4,500 grams are at three times greater risk.

Causes
Multiple factors have been shown to increase likelihood of infant macrosomia, including preexisting obesity, diabetes, or dyslipidemia of the mother, gestational diabetes, post-term pregnancy, prior history of a macrosomic birth, genetics, and other factors.

Diabetes of the mother
One of the primary risk factors of LGA births and macrosomia is poorly-controlled maternal diabetes, particularly gestational diabetes (GD), as well as preexisting type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). The risk of having a macrosomic fetus is three times greater in mothers with diabetes than those without diabetes.

Obesity in the mother
Obesity prior to pregnancy and maternal weight gain above recommended guidelines during pregnancy are another key risk factor for macrosomia or LGA infants. It has been demonstrated that while maternal obesity and gestational diabetes are independent risk factors for LGA and macrosomia, they can act synergistically, with even higher risk of macrosomia when both are present.

Genetics
Genetics can also play a role in having an LGA baby and it is seen that taller, heavier parents tend to have larger babies. Genetic disorders of overgrowth (e.g. Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome, Sotos syndrome, Perlman syndrome, Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome) are often characterized by macrosomia.

Other risk factors

 * Gestational age: pregnancies that go beyond 40 weeks increase incidence of an LGA infant
 * Fetal sex: male infants tend to weigh more than female infants
 * Multiparity: giving birth to previous LGA infants vs. non-LGA infants
 * Frozen embryo transfer as fertility treatment, as compared with fresh embryo transfer or no artificial assistance

Mechanism
How each of these factors leads to excess fetal growth is complex and not completely understood.

Traditionally, the Pedersen hypothesis has been used to explain the mechanism in which uncontrolled gestational diabetes can lead to macrosomia, and many aspects of it have been confirmed with further studies. This explanation proposes that impaired glucose control in the mother leads to a hyperglycemic state for the fetus, which leads to a hyperinsulinemia response, in turn causing increased glucose metabolism, fat deposition, and excess growth.

It has also been shown that different patterns of excess fetal growth are seen in diabetic associated macrosomia compared to other predisposing factors, suggesting different underlying mechanisms. Specifically, macrosomic infants associated with glucose abnormalities are seen to have increased body fat, larger shoulders and abdominal circumference.

Diagnosis
Diagnosing fetal macrosomia cannot be performed until after birth, as evaluating a baby's weight in the womb may be inaccurate. While ultrasound has been the primary method for diagnosing LGA, this form of fetal weight assessment remains imprecise, as the fetus is a highly variable structure in regards to density and weight— no matter the gestational age. Ultrasonography involves an algorithm that incorporates biometric measurements of the fetus, such as biparietal diameter (BPD), head circumference (HC), abdominal circumference (AC), and femur length (FL), to calculate the estimated fetal weight (EFW). Variability of fetal weight estimations has been linked to differences due to sensitivity and specificity of ultrasound algorithms as well as to the individual performing the ultrasound examination.

In addition to sonography, fetal weight can also be assessed using clinical and maternal methods. Clinical methods for estimating fetal weight involves measuring the mother's symphysis-fundal height and performing Leopold's maneuvers, which can help with determining the fetus position in utero in addition to size. However, as this method relies heavily on practitioner experience and technique, it does not provide an accurate and definite diagnosis of an LGA infant and would only serve as a potential indication of suspected macrosomia. Fetal weight can also be estimated through a mother's subjective assessment of the fetus size, but this method is dependent on a mother's experience with past pregnancies and may not be clinically useful. There are new methods being studied for their accuracy in predicting fetal weight, such as measuring fetal soft tissue, but more research needs to be done to find a consistent, reliable method.

Prevention
LGA and fetal macrosomia associated with poor glycemic control can be prevented by effective blood glucose management below a mean blood glucose level of 100 mg/dl before and during pregnancy; additionally, closely monitoring weight gain and diet during pregnancy can help to prevent LGA and fetal macrosomia. Women with obesity that undergo weight loss can greatly decrease their chances of having a macrosomic or LGA infant. Additionally, regular prenatal care and routine check-ups with one's physician are important in planning pregnancy, especially if one has obesity, diabetes, hypertension, or other conditions before conception.

Screening
Most screening for LGA and macrosomia occurs during prenatal check-ups, where both fundal height and ultrasound scans can give an approximate measurement of the baby's proportions. Two-dimensional ultrasound can be used to screen for macrosomia and LGA but estimations are generally not precise at any gestational age until birth.

Management
An approach that is sometimes suggested is to induce labor close to the estimated due date (at term) or near that date. The rationale is that by the baby being born with a lower birth weight, there would be a lower risk of long labors, cesarean section, bone fractures, and shoulder dystocia. However, this method could increase the number of women with perineal tears, and failed inductions can prompt the need for emergency cesarean sections. There is not strong evidence that an induced birth increases the risk of the person requiring a cesarean section. Another consideration is that since there may be inaccuracies in estimating or predicting the neonates weight in utero, there is a risk of inducing labor unnecessarily. Doctors disagree whether women should be induced for suspected macrosomia and more research is needed to find out what is best for women and their babies.

Elective cesarean section has also been presented as a potential delivery method for infants of suspected macrosomia, as it can serve to prevent possible birth trauma. However, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that cesarean delivery should only be considered if the fetus is an estimated weight of at least 5,000 grams in non-diabetic mothers and at least 4,500 grams in diabetic mothers. A number needed to treat analysis determined that approximately 3,700 women with suspected fetal macrosomia would have to undergo an unnecessary cesarean section in order to prevent one incident of brachial plexus injuries secondary to shoulder dystocia.

Management of gestational diabetes through dietary modifications and anti-diabetic medications has been shown to decrease the incidence of LGA. The use of metformin to control maternal blood glucose levels has shown to be more effective than using insulin alone in reducing the likelihood of fetal macrosomia. There is a 20% lower chance of having an LGA baby when using metformin to manage diabetes compared to using insulin.

Modifiable risk factors that increase the incidence of LGA births, such as gestational weight gain above recommended BMI guidelines, can be managed with lifestyle modifications, including maintaining a balanced diet and exercising. Such interventions can help mothers achieve the recommended gestational weight and lower the incidence of fetal macrosomia in obese and overweight women. The World Health Organization also recommends that mothers aim for their recommended BMI prior to conception. In general, obese mothers or women with excessive gestational weight gain may have higher risk of pregnancy complications (ranging from LGA, shoulder dystocia, etc.).

Epidemiology
In healthy pregnancies without pre-term or post-term health complications, fetal macrosomia has been observed to affect around 12% of newborns. By comparison, women with gestational diabetes are at an increased risk of giving birth to LGA babies, where ~15-45% of neonates may be affected. In 2017, the National Center of Health Statistics found that 7.8% of live-born infants born in the United States meet the definition of macrosomia, where their birth weight surpasses the threshold of 4000 grams (about 8.8 pounds). Women in Europe and the United States tend to have higher pre-term body weight and have increased gestational weight during pregnancy compared to women in east Asia. Thus, women in Europe and the United States, with higher gestational weight gain, tend to have higher associated risk of LGA infants, macrosomia and cesarean. In European countries, the prevalence of births of newborns weighing between 4,000 g and 4,499 g is 8% to 21%, and in Asian countries the prevalence is between 1% and 8%. In general, rates of LGA infants have increased 15-25% in many countries including the United States, Canada, Germany, Denmark, Scotland and more in the past 20–30 years, suggesting an increase in LGA births worldwide.

Bhutan: A Visual Odyssey Across the Last Himalayan Kingdom

Bhutan: A Visual Odyssey Across the Last Himalayan Kingdom is a gigantic 2003 book composed of photographs taken on four trips through Bhutan.

Background
The book was created by scientist Michael Hawley along with photographers Carolyn Bess, Sandy Choi, Dorji Drukpa, Becky Hurwitz, Choki Lhamo Kaka, Gyelsey Loday, Christopher Newell, David Salesin, and Ming Zhang. It was edited by Christopher Newell, and published by Friendly Planet in December 2003.

The book was certified by Guinness World Records as the largest book in the world until 2007. The 118-page tome weighs approximately 133 pounds (60.3 kg) and measures five feet by seven feet (2.13 × 1.53 m) when opened. Each image is nearly two gigabytes in size, and each copy of the book requires more than 1 USgal of ink and 24 hours to be printed. It costs $2000 to produce and sells for $10,000, which is donated to Friendly Planet, a charity that builds schools in Cambodia and Bhutan.

The University of Washington, University of Texas at El Paso, Miami University of Ohio, and the Wichita Public Library all have copies in their Special Collections. As part of the Dalai Lama's visit to Miami University, Geshe Kalsang Damdul and Geshe Jampel Kakpa, of Dharamshala, India, turned two pages of the book as honorary guests.

A smaller edition of the book was published in November 2004. The miniature version of 216 pages is 17.2 x 12.5 in. When opened, the book spans over 2 ft. This edition weighs 6.8 pounds and sells for $100.

I like the new table at DC Circuit Court of Appeals. It was just a few days ago that I added the list of nominees to each circuit. Are you thinking of doing a chart for the other circuits? I was thinking about adding a history to each circuit focusing on past changes in authorized seats and so forth. I was also planning to create a new article that would be a list of Circuit Court confirmations by session of Congress (there are an average of about 17 per session going back 20 years)  I don't know what to call the new article though. Suggestions? NoSeptember 01:00, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

The changes you guys are making are better than what I would have done, so I will let you go to it. There are some subpar articles on the Supreme Court too you might consider. List of Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States would be nice with another list by seat #. Defeated nominees to the U.S. Supreme Court seems lacking, although I'm not sure how to improve it. Also, there is the very speculative Potential Bush administration nominees to the Supreme Court of the United States. I mention these because they are likely to be viewed more often than the Circuit articles, especially once a SCOTUS vacancy occurs. I'm glad that these judiciary sections are being enhanced.

With the Presidency rotating between parties it is not always easy to add the Clinton+Carter and compare to the Reagan+Bush+Bush.  Breaking close partisan ties has been an issue in the battle over judges in both the 6th and the DC circuits going back to the late '90's.

Saucy, the standardization in reporting these cases is a good idea, and this format looks good to me. I won't participate in this project because my interest in the courts is primarily the political aspects of appointment and rulings; individual cases are a bore to me (I am neither in nor studying in the legal field). What might interest me here is the grouping of cases by the vote combinations (like they do each November in the Harvard Law Review) - if there is an article for 2004 S.C. cases, that may be a section I would like to work on.

Talk:Web application

Rewrite
Good job on the rewrite and merging from "browser-based". However, I am a bit concerned about the following sentence:

 * Because of their architectural similarities to traditional client-server applications, with a somewhat "thick" client, there is some dispute over whether to call systems of this sort "web applications"; an alternative term is "rich internet application".

It would be a good idea to provide a source for this dispute. Flash and Java applets are indeed applications delivered over the web, with code updates made only on the server-side (with the rare exception that a plug-in or JRE needs to be upgraded to a particular version, but this applies to any web applications that may utilize their resources). With no need for traditional client distribution, I don't see how they can be seen differently from a web application. One could compare the web browser to common plug-ins and the JRE (which merely make the thin client a little thicker), as being tantamount to OS fixtures, as they are so ubiquitous.

I am not looking for a back-and-forth argument here and these will be the last words I say on the matter. But I will be looking for a source. Thanks. — Stevie is the man!  Talk 21:43, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)

That sentence was based on conversations I've had with people who either work or teach in the field, so I don't have any print or web source to cite. Their argument was that a well-designed client-server system can update a thick client transparently over the internet in much the same way as you'd update a cached Java applet (what MS is trying to do with Windows Update), the difference between a browser-executed app and an OS-executed app is arbitrary (see DoJ vs. MS), and some of those "applets" get pretty darn chubby. The disinction's getting blurrier; I was trying to acknowledge that, instead of simply asserting my own position (that a browser-executed Flash app is just as much a web app as anything done with HTML & Javascript). In retrospect, "disgreement" would be better than "dispute", because no one in any of these conversations lost their temper. :) Tverbeek 23:40, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

wikipedia as example
I would think readers unfamiliar with the subject would find it interesting to be reminded that wikipedia itself is an example of a web app. Is there any reason why it's not mentioned here as a particularly relevant illustration (and in the Application Service Providers article)? ["wiki" is mentioned very briefly in a passing list near the top, but doesn't really make the point with any impact.]

 * This is unquestionably a good-faith effort, but I'm concerned it's mostly based on a single source (Hoffman, 2020), which is either incorrectly summarised or makes a number of WP:REDFLAG statements and not an improvement overall.
 * Compared to downloaded applications, web applications are quicker to deploy and update because they can be accessed via a URL link - this would be correct for client-server applications, but is a very questionable statement for desktop or mobile apps.
 * Web applications began with the invention of JavaScript in 1995 - this is wrong, for example, Common Gateway Interface was developed in 1993. If this is used in a narrower sense, 1995 is correct, but it's unrelated to JavaScript invention.
 * Web applications are vulnerable to various types of cyberattacks; defenses against malicious actors are incorporated into many. Web applications can be analyzed using functionality built into many popular web browsers, and third-party analytics are also available. - a largely meaningless summary, as same can be said about any computer software. Apparently it only made it to the lead because of the subject of Hoffman's book, which is tangential to the article scope.
 * Earlier web applications were developed to make the server generate a page in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS that was sent to the client. - this is plainly wrong, early web applications didn't use JavaScript or CSS.
 * To update, the client would send another request that was returned via HTTP. - requires copyediting
 * The invention of Ajax (asynchronous JavaScript and XML) in 1999 enabled network requests to be sent using JavaScript. - this is a wrong statement replacing one that is correct. Requests could've been sent programmatically prior to AJAX, but required reloading the entire page or a frame.
 * REST is usually preferred to the earlier Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) due to better caching and scalability. - unclear what 'better scalability' makes in this context.
 * JavaScript is the only programming language allowed in client-side software loaded into a web browser. - this is plainly wrong, there's WASM, as well as, historically, Flash, ActiveX, Java and others.
 * SPAs generate the document object model (DOM) on the webpage, which organizes the XML code that ultimately displays the content to the user - DOM doesn't 'organise XML code' and XML code doesn't 'display the content to the user'.
 * What it says about web servers and databases, while not strictly incorrect, is outdated by 20 years.
 * LocalStorage/IndexDB description is completely inadequate.
 * Single-page applications are dynamically altered - no, they aren't.
 * Progressive web applications are an innovation that function like a mobile app - I assume this is trying to say they can be added to home screen, but a lot of the nuance is lost as website shortcuts can be added too.
 * Most web applications are split into client and server domains, and often there are multiple server-side domains. - this is a word salad
 * Most databases are prone to code injection attacks but these are most common for SQL as it is the most popular format. - this is a false statement, and SQL isn't a 'format' either
 * many applications run over HTTP, which does not allow saving user data between requests - wrong, HTTP saves user data between requests using cookies (besides other methods available to dynamic web applications)
 * Because most applications rely on dependencies, which are usually not scrutinized as much as custom-written code, the dependencies or the linkage between them and the in-house code can be the source of vulnerabilities. On the other hand, reinventing code can lead to its own security pitfalls if the new code is not as secure as the alternative. - this is not wrong, but meaningless ('code can be vulnerable regardless of who writes it') and sounds like something GPT would generate
 * To build a secure application, developers make security a priority during and after the development of the application's functionality. An application is only as secure as its weakest link and needs a secure architecture at all levels of its functionality. Only limited security improvements can be made if the underlying features were not developed with security in mind. Developers will often test the software for vulnerabilities, conducting security audits, vulnerability assessments, and penetration tests (deliberate attempted cyberattack). Testing is followed by rewriting the software to close the identified vulnerabilities. Most security features will have trade-offs, for example increasing the cost of development or reducing the application's usability. - none of this is specific to web applications PaulT2022 (talk) 20:57, 18 March 2024 (UTC)

I don't think it is accurate to describe as based mainly from a single source. A majority of the Hoffmann citations are from the "technologies" section, simply because other sources did not provide an up to date summary of this aspect. You haven't provided any sources for most of your statements. I never claimed to be an expert on this topic but the proposed article is based on reliable sources. In general, we repeat what is said in the reliable sources unless RS disagree among themselves. If you feel that a source is erroneous, please provide another source of comparable or better quality that disagrees. I will try to get to the rest of the comments tomorrow. Buidhe paid (talk) 07:35, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Lastly, if you disagree with some of the content, the recommended thing to do would be implement all of the non-disputed content while disputed content is discussed.
 * 1) Compared to downloaded applications, web applications are quicker to deploy and update because they can be accessed via a URL link The source specifically discusses delays with getting applications approved for mobile app stores, as well as barriers to the rapid deployment of desktop applications.
 * 2) Web applications began with the invention of JavaScript in 1995—this claim was not added by me, it was a summary of previously existing text in the history section. I have now researched the question, but cannot find anything other than primary sourced, competing claims of having developed the first web application in different years. Thus, I have rephrased the draft to avoid making a definitive claim.
 * 3) Web applications are vulnerable to various types of cyberattacks... The reason it is in the lead is as a summary of the "security" section, per MOS:LEAD. A very large portion of the reliable sources on this topic focus on security, so it is definitely WP:DUE, even if the principles of security are similar to other types of applications.
 * 4) Earlier web applications were developed to make the server generate a page in HTML, JavaScript, and CSS that was sent to the client. The article says earlier not earliest. The content is supported by the cited source: "A decade ago, most web applications were built using server-side frameworks that rendered an HTML/JS/CSS page that would then be sent to the client. Upon needing an update, the client would simply request another page from the server to be rendered and piped over HTTP" Nevertheless, I have added a clarification about the timeline.
 * 5) The invention of Ajax... Added clarification regarding your point
 * 6) REST is usually preferred ... The cited source does not go into detail about what it means by scalability, so I added information from a new source.
 * 7) That is what the source says: "JavaScript is not only a programming language, but also the sole programming language for client-side scripting in web browsers."
 * 8) If you think that the section on databases needs updating, could you suggest some recent reliable sources that could be cited instead?

 * I am of the opinion that Hoffman, 2022 isn't a reliable source for most of the statements it's being used for in the proposed edit. It isn't a widely recognized work, is about the security of web applications rather than web applications in general, and in the proposed edit, it appears to contradict mainstream sources. PaulT2022 (talk) 16:43, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * What "mainstream sources" are you referring to? (t · c)  buidhe  16:45, 19 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I contend that no mainstream source would describe that REST is used instead of SOAP primarily because of 'better caching and scalability'; the new source you've added references this statement to a masters dissertation. There's probably nothing wrong with the dissertation, but it had a very narrow scope: Experiments were done to measure how much time and memory a SOAP and REST clients in PHP take in accessing the web service applications.. There's a difference between measuring performance of protocol clients in a single programming language, and making a conclusion about the considerations that go into choosing a protocol.
 * If you insist on specific sources, pretty much any book about web development that can be located by searching 'rest soap' in Google Books would describe this differently:
 * https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_Definitive_Guide_to_Grails/gIMnCgAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=soap+rest&pg=PA449&printsec=frontcover
 * https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Industry_4_0/YuOODAAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=soap+rest&pg=PA149&printsec=frontcover
 * https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/Professional_Development_with_Web_APIs/nWTLjB33bP4C?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=soap+rest&pg=PA214&printsec=frontcover
 * Similarly, no mainstream source would say something like SPAs generate the document object model (DOM) on the webpage, which organizes the XML code and other problematic statements I flagged.
 * My opinion is Hoffman, 2022 isn't reliable for what it's used for per WP:RSCONTEXT (Information provided in passing by an otherwise reliable source that is not related to the principal topics of the publication may not be reliable) and definitely shouldn't be used to support WP:REDFLAG statements not present in plurality of secondary sources on the topic.
 * I'll leave finishing this discussion to someone uninvolved as I contributed to this article and feel that engaging further may get into WP:OWN territory. PaulT2022 (talk) 03:29, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Well, after double checking I don't think Hoffman says SPAs generate the document object model (DOM) on the webpage, which organizes the XML code, I believe I misinterpreted it.
 * I don't have an issue with removing the reference to scalability if many sources on the topic don't mention it, however, I did not find any contradictions to that in the sources you bring up. The main reason I did not cite these sources is that their scope seemed too narrow (one book was specifically about Grails) or I was concerned that they might be out of date (the third reference was published in 2005).
