High Chicago

High Chicago (also released as A Family Man) is a dramatic feature film released in 2012. Director Alfons Adetuyi and his brother and writer Robert Adetuyi used locations in their home town of Sudbury, Ontario when making the film.

The film had its US premier at the 2012 Pan African Film Festival in February 2012. It had its Toronto premier at the 2012 ReelWorld Film Festival in April 2012. In an interview in Shadow and Act magazine Adetuyi revealed that his film about a father with a dream was based on one of his own father's dreams. His father had dreamed of opening a North American style drive-in movie theatre in Africa.

The film was Adetuyi's first feature film, although he and his brothers had run a film production company, Inner City Films, for over a decade. Angelo Muredda praised the film for an absence of the mistakes beginning directors usually make on their debut feature films.

Adetuyi told the Sudbury Star shortly after the release of High Chicago that he planned to return to Sudbury to shoot a second film, as he saw High Chicago as the first in an "African trilogy".

Clearing House Automated Transfer System

The Clearing House Automated Transfer System, or CHATS, is a Real Time Gross Settlement (RTGS) system for the transfer of funds in Hong Kong. It is operated by Hong Kong Interbank Clearing Limited, a private company jointly owned by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) and the Hong Kong Association of Banks. Transactions in four currency denominations may be settled using CHATS: Hong Kong dollar, renminbi, euro, and US dollar. In 2005, the value of Hong Kong dollar CHATS transactions averaged HK$467 billion per day, which amounted to a third of Hong Kong's annual Gross Domestic Product (GDP); the total value of transactions that year was 84 times the GDP of Hong Kong.

History

Prior to the launch of CHATS as a RTGS system, interbank settlements in Hong Kong relied on a multi-tier system which settled in a daily net basis. About 170 banks settled with 10 banks. These 10 banks, in turn, settled with Hongkong Bank, which then settled with the HKMA in a one-to-one basis. Hongkong Bank acted as the clearing house under this system, settling payments across its books in a net basis on the day following the transactions. The HKMA decided that this did not meet international standards as set by G10's Committee on Payment and Settlement Systems; following a six-month feasibility study, in June 1994, it decided to develop CHATS as a RTGS system.
