As an experiment, pick up any corporate brochure today and look at the photos showing people. What do you observe? The chances are you will see a cultural smorgasbord of people of all races, creeds, colors, and none; a little like the captioned photo above no doubt. Here's another experiment: visit the internet site of any bank, law firm or professional services firm you like. You will struggle to find a single business that does not claim to be a great champion of diversity, proud as they are without exception to have LGBT+ focus groups for their staff. It would be easy to conclude on this evidence that we are living in a golden age for all minorities, right?
Sadly, you would be wrong. What we miss is the elephant or ten ton gorilla in the middle of the room. And here we are speaking literally and not figuratively.
Please re-examine the captioned photo above and any brochure you have at hand. Did you see the below individuals' photos anywhere?
It's a rhetorical question of course, but the answer is no just in case you are vocabulary-impaired and didn't understand the word.
The above individuals are both trans-specied. This means they identify as a cat and dragon respectively, although were cruelly born in a human form in error. Both the cat and the dragon were forced to invest enormous amounts of their personal borrowed money just so that their external appearances match their real identities. It is shocking that, even in these days of supposed universally free healthcare, the cat and dragon were forced to pay for their own species re-assignment treatments.
The injustice does not end there, however. Neither the cat nor dragon have been able to secure employment at any of the banks, law firms and insurance companies they have applied to. The drill is always the same: they submit fantastic resumés but are rejected after a first and very short interview. No reasons were ever given for the rejections. Second, most people assume that the label 'trans' refers to transgendered people without bothering to consider whether the subject may actually be a different species entirely.
To finish on a positive note, it seems that cis-specied politicians are still happy for trans-specied individuals to vote in elections. Their species reassignment does not mean that they lose the franchise. Which is a good thing. What is alarmingly inconsistent, on the other hand, is that cis-dogs, dragons and other non-human cis species (i.e. animals) do not have the right to vote. We are confident that these are issues which Michelle Obama will be quick to rectify on her election in 2020. Who knows, thanks to Michelle, a non-human or trans-specied individual could one day become president of the United States.

Profile: Man with a Graphic vision: Hope is the theme running through the soul of AWF.
He is 38 years old, teaches Math to middle school students in Des Moines, Iowa and is not your "average U2 nut".
So why did this professional disc golfer enter our contest?
Eddie McCulley explains:
"I hadn't heard of the African Well Fund until I discovered the logo contest. I have Bono set as one of my Google searches for my Google home page and it will search every story about U2. The logo contest popped up and I just started designing this logo. One of the first things that I noticed on your site were the different words for water.
H2O is the first word that pops up. Hope is the theme that I see running through the soul of AWF. Water gives the people you help, at the very least, a chance… hope. Outside of taking over and becoming a benevolent King, finding water really is the only thing we (you) can do to make a significant difference.
I am proud that in my little way I can contribute to the cause."
We're happy too that Eddie found AWF and contributed in his own way. Our 4th annual fundraiser to Build a Well for Bono's Birthday is just days old and we have already sold over 40 t-shirts with Eddie's graphic image adorning them.
2nd Design Chosen
African Well Fund received more than 50 entries for the design contest. It was incredibly difficult to pick a winning design and in fact it came down to a virtual tie. As a result we are offering a variety of products incorporating the other design.
The designers are Christina and Peter Fikaris, an award-winning design team based in New York City. They have creatively defined many clients including filmmakers, playwrights and recording artists. As U2 fans from the early 80's, they have drawn much inspiration from their music and social awareness. We admire Bono's role in inspiring the African Well Fund, and are honored to have contributed to this great humanitarian cause.
African Well Fund is extremely grateful to Eddie, Christina and Peter for their inspired designs. To view both designs and the products available, visit our Café Press store www.cafepress.com/wellfund.
Stay with us through the month of April while we continue our fundraiser for Bono and maintain our HOPE for Africa.
Also stay tuned in coming months as we hope to incorporate some of the other design entries received in new products.
Thank you!

A Few Historical Facts on eBook Reader
Project Gutenberg is known as the oldest digital library in the world being set four decades ago which released its first digitalized work known to be the "Declaration of Independence". Nowadays, this project comprises more than 100,000 titles, having 30,000 of them available for free.
Well, digitized books sounded great as long as there were no more trees needed to be cut to have the books edited. But there was the need of having a computer to be able to access them and this is how in 1998, the first portable device known as eBook reader came into being. The first devices were called the soft book reader and the Rocket eBook.
Gemstar is known to have bought these two eBook readers rights and advanced their promotional device in one TV show on Oprah. But because this was a limited selection with high prices it is no wonder that this early eBook reader device couldn't make it on the consumers' market. Philips started creating their own eBook readers introducing the use of e ink electronic paper. Sony came in 2006 with Sony eBook Reader featuring the e ink.
In 2007 Amazon launched their own eBook Reader known as the Kindle portable device for eBook reading. The fact that this one has become more famous is due to the built in wireless 'whispernet' being backed up by the huge Amazon collection of eBooks. More than this, with a click of a button one could easily purchase for downloading any available eBook in the Amazon store. Not to mention the feature of being able to download for free the beginning of a book and in case you didn't like then you are entitled to decline its purchasing.
The year of 2008 has seen a raise of sales for Kindle devices until in 2009 when Kindle 2 was released on the market with more improved features. These ones were more chic looking, more storage capacity, longer better life and a more vivid text.
The one that followed in a few month was called Kindle DX with a better resolution, more memory, being able to read also PDF files. The display can be rotated from landscape to portrait making the charts and the graphics viewed in a much easier way. Over time it goes without saying that this device although now in competition with IRex, that is much more expensive than Kindle DX, will become as ubiquitous as iPod is nowadays. With the evolution of eBook readers, this device will start counting among the usual devices that one has in their household.
Not to mention that even old readers have started considering this type of eBook reader because they might have more money available as well as more time to spend with the reading. It is a shame to acknowledge this, as everyone should allocate some of their time for reading, regardless how busy their daily life is.

that offer a more specialist service have the happiest customers, says a new survey from Which? Online.
Specialist site Abebooks.co.uk, which searches and buys books from independent sellers, and the music, books and gadgets site Play.com came out top in the entertainment category.
Both scored 89% for overall satisfaction and were praised for how easy it was to find products on their site.
Amazon.co.uk came a close third in our poll of 5,710 people and was the most popular site – four out of five shoppers used it.
In the clothes category, lingerie specialist Figleaves.com scored the highest.
But price was not the priority for clothes shoppers, with customers citing the range, user-friendliness and ordering and delivery procedures as key selling points.
Johnlewis.com was the favourite website for electricals – customers praised the site's ease of use and were also impressed with its simple ordering and returns processes.
But PC World's website and Pixmania did worst in this category.
Customer service
Which? Online Editor Jess Ross said: 'The specialist shopping websites came out top in our survey – it appears that you can't put a price on customer service.
'With a third of UK adults going online to shop it's going to get more and more important for retailers to put their efforts into creating a great online service that's easy to use, value for money and quick to deliver.
'Let's hope that all the shopping websites can rise to the challenge.'
Online checklist
Any shoppers who are planning to buy online should remember:
- Under the Distance Selling Regulations you have a seven-day cooling-off period if you want to cancel an order. It starts from the day after you receive your order
- if you change your mind about an item, be aware that they can't be all returned; this includes CDs or software if the seal has been broken, and perishable or personalised goods
- beware of the small print. A website should say who pays for postage if you're returning goods – if it doesn't, the seller pays
- pay by credit card. If you're spending between £100 and £30,000, you're protected by the Consumer Credit Act, which means you can claim from either the trader or your credit card provider if anything goes wrong
- before you enter any payment details check how the web address starts – if it's 'https', not 'http', the page is secure and your details are protected.

ACTA is perhaps one of the most sinister developments in the history of the Internet, and beyond, not only because of the Draconian legislations it proposes, but also because of the manner in which they were proposed.
You see ACTA has never been democratically scrutinised or debated. It was created and negotiated entirely in secret by private corporations, not transparently by democratically elected representatives, and then ratified without any democratic mandate (by "executive order"). Indeed, the US government actually went so far as to describe these boiler-room "negotiations" as "a matter of national security".
Since when are petty civil legislation issues like copyrights "a matter of national security"? Since when should fundamental changes to the democratic process and criminal legislation be "negotiated" in dark basements by private corporations, then the details protected as "a matter of national security"?
It's incredible, but true. It's also profoundly disturbing.
Regardless of whatever else might be wrong with ACTA, when private corporations start making criminal laws (in secret, no less), clearly we have a serious problem. It's textbook fascism.
Anyone reading today's headlines might be forgiven for thinking Gandhi had died ... again.
But no, it wasn't Gandhi, nor indeed anyone of even the slightest nobility. It was a patent extortionist with an apparent objection to altruism, called Steve Jobs. Even El Presidente fawned over this selfish racketeer, like he was the new messiah, or something:
'Steve was among the greatest of American innovators – brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it,' the statement gushed.
One of the best things about the Internet is the fact that not only is it a tremendous source of information, but it also provides us with a very fine-grained control over that information. For example, unlike broadcast and print media, we can automatically filter out adverts and other nasties, using indispensable software like AdBlock Plus and NoScript.
But there's another type of "nasty" that isn't so easy to filter out ... media hacks with an unsavoury political bent (putting it politely).
Take El Reg for example. Most of its articles are informative, entertaining and have a decidedly liberal leaning, but there are a few exceptions, most of which seem to be penned by a particularly unpleasant character by the name of Andrew Orlowski.
New Kindle Audio Feature Causes a Stir - WSJ.com
"They don't have the right to read a book out loud," said Paul Aiken, executive director of the Authors Guild.
...with the government's hot and eager help, of course.

SSRN-The Rise and Fall of Invasive ISP Surveillance by Paul Ohm
The Rise and Fall of Invasive ISP Surveillance
Paul Ohm
University of Colorado Law School
August 30, 2008
Nothing in society poses as grave a threat to privacy as the Internet Service Provider (ISP). ISPs carry their users' conversations, secrets, relationships, acts, and omissions. Until the very recent past, they had left most of these alone because they had lacked the tools to spy invasively, but with recent advances in eavesdropping technology, they can now spy on people in unprecedented ways.
We're already starting to see this undemocratic violation of our privacy and civil-rights in the UK, with sinister initiatives like Phorm from BT (and their criminal partners, formerly known as the Spyware outfit 121Media), and more generally with the mere existence and subsequent overreaching implementation of insidious laws like the Anti-Terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, and the Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act 2000, which are now being quite openly abused as a matter of routine investigation into non-terrorist activities.
And the impetus for this destruction of our democracy is ... paranoid and greedy media companies, a.k.a. the MAFIAA®, who "lobby" government to pervert our society for their own selfish ends. "Pervert" is very apt description of how the MAFIAA® gangsters operate, after all they are predisposed to stalking and making abusive phone calls to 10-year old girls.
In a society in which such thugs are not only tolerated, but actually supported by government, whilst that same government declares its entire population of ordinary citizens to be "guilty", and punishes them by revoking their privacy and other civil-rights, it's clear that democracy is well and truly dead.
Your ISP is at the front-line of that battle. It is the weapon the government uses to strike you down.
Don't let them.

Cash Loans Australia: Immediate Finance, Great Support
The lowest amount that is offered towards cash loans Australia is $100, but a finance seeker can secure $1,500 to the maximum. It is thus clear that cash loans Australia come in the category of small cash programs, but the salaried people of Australia know it well how they are benefitted when they obtain such small amount in the middle of the month, sometimes, In some months, the salaried men and women find demands of different kinds to surface, although they have not made any provision for meeting them in the budget. With small and limited income, they are to walk tightly in every month, but crisis of finance shortage is not uncommon, because sudden requirement of extra cash cannot be predicted well in advance. Another important thing is that everyone is not offered the highest amount available. The lenders check the economic status and range of monthly income of the respective applicants, before they grant the amount payable to them. Cash loans Australia are offered in absence of faxing, credit rating check and also of collaeral.
It is not difficult for the people of Australia to qualify for cash loans Australia. A person, who holds citizenship certificate or a certificate showing that he has been residing in Australia permanently for years, can apply for this sort of finance, provided that he is already an adult as the term has been defined by the Australian judiciary. It is essential that he must be working in any factory, plant, office or services center. It is also an imperative that he earns at least $1,000 in every month.
The loan seekers cannot secure cash loans Australia unless he has a valid, active and confirmable banking account with direct deposits provisions. This is necessary for the reasons that providers of finance follow the mode of wire transfer when they make the payment. They are really determined in making the payment at fastest speed. The loan seekers can be assured that they would find the cash deposited with their bank address definitely within twenty four hours.
The finance providers charge the interest for cash loans Australia at higher rates, but they do this honoring the prevailing practices in the finance market of Australia. They instruct the borrowers to repay the loan amount plus its interest within two to four weeks. If the borrowers disobey the loan agreement, especially that part of the agreement where repayment schedule has been mention without any ambiguity, they are sure to be punished with fines or penalties. This is how the finance they are given becomes costlier. It is good to be cautious from the beginning.

After making her name on the New York stage, McDonnell began booking TV and film roles in the early 1980s. Able to exude intelligence and compassion, the actress was well used in a series of roles, notably as a white woman raised by American Indians in 1990's Dances With Wolves and as a paraplegic soap star in 1992's Passion Fish, earning Oscar nods for both performances. In her forties, she looked to the small screen for more fruitful parts, and turned in a slew of solid performances in myriad TV movies. A recurring role on ER as a do-gooder in denial (an Emmy-nominated role) sparked her interest in series television, and in 2003 she landed the plum part of a reluctant president on the lauded revamp of Battlestar Galactica. In 2009, she began appearing on The Closer as a headstrong police captain who goes toe-to-toe with Kyra Sedgwick's character. Off camera, McDonnell is married to fellow actor Randle Mell, and the pair have two children.
Fast Facts
- Made her stage debut in 1978, appearing in Sam Shepard's Pulitzer Prize-winning play Buried Child.
- Was in the Portland Stage Company with Sarah Jessica Parker, and lived in the same apartment house.

Everyone dreams of that perfect moment to hold a beloved one close to them and kiss them in a way that they feel wanted! Call it a kiss, lip locking, smooch, peck or anything else, kissing is the most amazing and beautiful way to express your feelings of love and affection for a person!
Ever wondered why people kiss? Why all the love stories start with that kiss that makes you go "awww"? Yes of course kissing is a way to express your love and passion for your special one but you will be surprised to know about the scientific reasons why people kiss!!
"The word Kiss is derived from cyssan and old English word and from kussijanan or causes which is a Proto-Germanic word and is in all probability based on the kind of sound that one makes while kissing. Even the four Vedas of Sanskrit written in around 1500 B.C. have writings about kissing. The book kama sutra describes over [highlight]30 ways of kissing[/highlight], such as fighting off the tongue. It's a well-known fact that [highlight]kissing burns a good amount of calories[/highlight] and releases good hormones which help in the management of stress. The most significant muscle in the process of kissing will be orbicularis Oris, which helps lips to crumple.
Kissing helps in the release of the pleasure hormone, dopamine which induces a feeling of excitement and desire. And it's pretty surprising that if you kiss the same person multiple times, it helps in the release of a hormone called oxytocin, which in turn induces a sense of bonding and attachment, now that's precisely why you feel so NICE while kissing your beloved!
Mouth is a very vital part of the human body and it is very active. In fact, [highlight]lips are 100 times more sensitive[/highlight] than the tips of our fingers, Even as infants we use our mouths to chew things, make noises, feed and since those very childhood days we relate mouth as a way to express ourselves, our feelings and attachment. And, it's interesting to note that most people, about 90% tilt their heads towards right while kissing.
The branch of science which studies the art of kissing is called PHILEMATOLOGY. Science explains that even animals use their mouth to show affection to their kids and mates, this is the reason why they lions lick the heads of their cubs and why "rubbing of nose" is common among animals. In fact, the bonobo species of monkey feeds its infant from its mouth. They also kiss frequently to relieve stress, make friends and in the mating process.
Surprisingly, this species of bonobo monkey are very closely related to humans as it shares almost the same kind of DNA. Even scientists believe humans started this art of lip locking when the mothers used to chew food for their tooth- less infants and used to pass it to their mouth from theirs. This is a very well-known and accepted theory about the origin of this art of expressing love. This shows the tenderness and affection one shares when kissing as it being originated from the purest of relations between a child and a mother.
Kissing is indeed very important for the bonding of two people in a relationship. Most of the couples accept that they started their relationship or rather expressed their feelings for the very first time by kissing the person they have been having feelings for. Kissing your partner makes them feel special and loved, in fact kissing is something which makes the love of your life feel wanted. And c'mon who doesn't want to feel wanted? Doesn't your heart stop when you think about getting kissed by your love in the rain? This is one of the best feeling in the word, being held by the love of your life under the wide sky pouring out its love and you are expressing your partner how much you love him or her all through this small physical touch.
Kissing is not only a kind of physical contact between two people. It is actually something way beyond that, it has to do with the feelings of two people in love, and it is a symbol of affection and admiration. Of course we can see that when a mother plant a kiss on the cheeks of her beautiful little baby. Since childhood we observe and learn that kissing is a way to express one's love for one's beloved. It is the expression of how much and to what extent you love someone. To close your eyes while kissing indicates that you are so in love with the person that you do not need to see or say anything, everything is being said or seen through the expression itself.
Kissing is probably the only gesture of expressing love which has always been included in the fairy tales that little children read, there are numerous instances where the gesture of kissing has been put in the limelight for example when the sleeping beauty was put on the spell by the evil witch, that she would lie asleep until and unless a prince comes by, and kisses her and hence break the spell. The story of the frog prince also emphasizes on this very divine gesture of expressing love as the frog would turn into a handsome prince only when he gets kissed by the princess who is the true love of his life. There are endless stories about how a simple kiss turned the whole world around for two people who are in love. Love seems to be the most important reason behind kissing in all sorts. Be it motherly love or the love of couples, kissing always symbolizes love and this happens to be the most important reason behind it.
In many countries people believe if they kiss their partner at the midnight stroke of 31st of December, their love is bound to last throughout the whole year. Also, research states that most of the women would want to kiss their partners before going into bed with them, kissing women before going into bed with them works like an accelerator for their emotions. Scientific study shows that there is an upcoming trend around the whole world according to which, people love to kiss their best friends irrespective of their gender.
Teenagers explain it as a gesture to express 'how fond they are of their friends' and they also accept the fact that kissing their best friends irrespective of their sex helps them bond better. This trend, though sounds weird is spreading throughout the whole world. Kissing is also a result of immense hormones flowing through the teenagers' body which drives their sexual aspect to maximum and leads to kissing of their partner. This in fact is true in case of most human beings. Kissing forms an important part of foreplay before sexual intercourse and leads to people "turning on" for the act.
'And in that moment I swear we were infinite' is what people describe about their feelings when asked about how they felt while kissing someone. Kissing is that form of expressing one's feeling for their beloved which will definitely never ever go out of trend. It is something which time cannot change, it has been the most divine way of expressing one's feelings and will always be.

Challenge likely to move to raise the State pension age
The last few years have delivered so many financial blows to ordinary people that the raising of the age at which you qualify for the State pension has probably slipped the minds of many.
But the cruel reality is that the age for qualifying for the State pension has gone up and is due to rise further.
At the start of 2014, the traditional State pension paid to people from the age of 65 ceased to exist after the age was raised to 66. By 2028, the qualification age for the State pension is set to rise to age 68.
Add to this the outrageous theft of pension money from the levy on the assets of private-sector workers, and you have a distasteful cocktail that will leave ordinary people with a sour taste in their mouth and much diminished retirement incomes.
The pensions levy theft is particularly unfair as the average pension pot in the private sector is tiny anyway. This means the €2.5bn collectively taken away from those in the private sector savvy enough to provide for themselves was egregious.
The levy represents a permanent reduction in the pension income of those impacted, unlike the levy in the public sector, which is essentially a pay cut and does not impact on the amount paid in retirement. Given that, the earlier decision of the last Government to raise the age at which all workers - private and public - qualify for the State pension that they contribute to through their pay-related social insurance (PRSI) is doubly unfair.
It is like you are running a race - but half-way through you are told that the finishing line has been moved further up the road. So keep running, is the message.
However, the good news is that the decision to raise the State pension age has been cast into doubt after a Dutch court found against a similar move there.
Stephen Gillick, a partner with law firm Mason Hayes & Curran, said it was open to those affected by the change to take a similar case here.
The case concerned a 60-year-old widow who was in poor health. The woman was being paid a widow's pension but would cease to be entitled to payment when she reached 65. As the Dutch state pension was not payable until she reached 67, the widow would be left with a two-year income gap.
The Dutch court of first instance found in her favour.
A successful challenge here could limit the State's ability to change the pension age, and force a reversal of the controversial move. Mr Gillick said he was surprised there had not already been a challenge here.
Given the decision in the Dutch case, it is now highly likely there will be a legal challenge here.

my ex called me, and I didn't answer, but then decided to call her back. I asked why she called, and she said she meant to call her boyfriend, but accidently called me instead. She then said sorry buddy, and seemed to get upset, and ask me whats wrong when I simply said okay. Why would she do this? When I accidently call people (which was once in my lifetime) I just say I meant to call someone else sorry. Why would she do this to me?
My ex phoned me?

The concept of green financing got an important boost last month when leaders of the G20 nations received a report from a Green Finance Study Group.
The national leaders present, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau among them, pledged that they would invest in infrastructure as a means of boosting economic growth.
The study group had been set up almost a year ago, after the idea was advanced by Chinese President Xi Jinping.
China, with its heavy reliance on coal for power generation, has often been cast as an international outsider, a nation that emitted huge amounts of greenhouse gases and didn't seem to care.
But Xi proved amenable to overtures from United States President Barrack Obama and the two countries were early signatories to the Paris Agreement, in which nations agreed to try to limit global warming to something under two degrees above pre-industrial levels.
In order to do that, the world needs to limit its burning of fossil fuels and to build clean, sustainable and resilient infrastructure. That would not only benefit the global climate, it would help boost the global economy as well.
The plight of the infrastructure in most countries is an old, sad story. The McKinsey Global Institute's research tells us that the world still invests only US$2.5 trillion annually in transportation, water, power and telecommunication networks, well short of the estimated $3.3 trillion needed simply to keep up with current trends.
In fact, McKinsey noted, most G20 countries actually invest less for infrastructure today than they did before the 2008 financial crisis, even though national leaders acknowledge that such investments can spur growth.
Brendan Bechtel, the new CEO of construction giant Bechtel Group, wrote an op-ed article recently in which he called on the U.S. congress to increase infrastructure spending and to take advantage of non-traditional financing tools like public-private partnerships. That, he wrote, can shift responsibility for financing and maintenance to the private sector while allowing public organizations to stretch their limited budgets to include more infrastructure projects.
He said that is essential in light of a study by the American Society of Civil Engineers, which estimated that the U.S. is facing an infrastructure funding gap of US$1.44 trillion — a gap that could skyrocket to US$5.18 trillion by 2040.
Interest rates in the industrialized world are at historic lows, which should make municipal bond issues more attractive to investors. Some local governments have invested, but afraid of political backlash, many others have continued to put off large increases in infrastructure spending.
There have been many studies illustrating the benefits of such spending. One of the more recent ones was reported in Bloomberg. In that article, writer Matthew Winkler said that when plans were made 30 years ago to invest US$2 billion in the Denver International Airport, taxpayers pushed back.
But the project went ahead and now provides an annual economic benefit of $26 billion, Winkler said, adding that, over time, it has created more than 270,000 jobs. He also said that in the last five years, investors who bought the bonds issued to finance the project, had a total return of 19 per cent.
Results like that make it hard to understand the hesitation in launching infrastructure projects. But the reluctance may be fading, helped along by the notion of "green" bonds, or "climate-aligned" bonds, the kind of investment instruments envisaged by China's Xi Jinping when he suggested the Green Finance Study Group.
And Barclays PLC, the large international banker, recently referred to the growth in infrastructure projects as "the story of the year," and predicted that municipal bond issues might reach $400 billion in the U.S. by the end of this year.
Investors also have the option of investing in Canadian green bonds. That's a little-reported story that I'll come back to next week.

Charities that make 'mixed-motive' investments could face a tax charge if HM Revenue & Customs does not approve the investment, the Charity Finance Group tax conference heard yesterday.
Julian Smith, a partner at the law firm Farrer & Co, told the conference that the concept of mixed-motive investment had been approved by the Charity Commission when it rewrote its investment guidance, CC14: Charities and Investment Matters, last year.
The commission defines a mixed-motive investment as one that has elements of both financial and social investment, but cannot be wholly justified as either one or the other.
If HMRC decided an investment was non-charitable expenditure then it would be taxable, Smith said.
"What's missing is any statement from HMRC about how it is going to approach this," he told delegates at the conference in London. He said tax relief for any investment was limited to a handful of categories, including an investment "made for the benefit of the charity and not for the avoidance of tax", and that to attract tax relief an investment must fall into this definition.
He said HMRC would never give advance clearance confirming whether it considered any new scheme fell into this category.
"It has said it will produce guidance, but we're still waiting," said Smith.
He said the fact that mixed-motive investments would mostly be in small, non-listed organisations that did not themselves have charitable status, would make it hard to police whether they were legitimate. "This is an area that is redolent with the possibility of abuse," he said.
Smith told the conference he was concerned by moves to introduce tax breaks for social enterprise. "That could blur the boundaries between social enterprise and charity," he said. "I think that would be a retrograde step."

Parents are in the dark when it comes to dealing with their teens' anxiety and depression, finds an exclusive new survey conducted by Yahoo Parenting and Silver Hill, a non-profit hospital for the treatment of psychiatric and addictive disorders.
"Everybody is in denial about depression and anxiety," Aaron Krasner, MD, the adolescent transitional living service chief at Silver Hill, in New Canaan, Conn., tells Yahoo Parenting. "So it makes sense to me that until the sh-t is really hitting the fan, parents and kids aren't interested in talking about these problems. In some ways, parents don't want to know and would rather do anything than acknowledge that their kid has a problem."

Hey, did you guys know that May is officially the National Hamburger Month? I didn't, up until 3 days ago when I read about it, and it amazes me how people all over the world can come up with so many reasons to celebrate. Every month has a celebration named after it – and as Summer kicks in full-on in sunny California, I was researching burger recipes for Father's Day that is coming up next week, and that's when I found about Hamburger month, and also about Hamburger Helper® !
If you are not familiar with Hamburger Helper® , let me tell you that its not a Hamburger recipe in any way! In fact, it is a line of General Mills packaged food products, sold under the Betty Crocker brand, which consist primarily of boxed pasta bundled with a packet of powdered sauce or seasonings. And I can tell you its a favorite amongst people looking for cooking shortcuts, because when I went to Walmart to grab a box for myself, I saw it in several other shopping carts!
Let me tell you that I love cooking from scratch, because its healthy and wholesome, plus it's a holistic experience for me to cook for my family. However, as a working mom, there are times when I do not mind relying on packaged products that help me create quick, easy yet delicious recipes that my family can enjoy. I think Hamburger Helper® would be a great product to fulfill that need, given the wide variety of flavors that you can find! Basically, it is a mix of pasta and sauce, and you are free to add a creative spin by adding any other meat or veggies to create a satisfying meal in under 15 minutes.
I grabbed a couple packs of Hamburger Helper® – the Cheesy Macaroni and the Tomato-Basil Penne.
I used the Penne to make a weeknight dinner for the kids last night, and here's how it looked. Pretty appealing, huh? And the best part is it is super quick and easy. In fact, its perfect for those who aren't much into cooking, or even for dads meaning to spruce up a delicious meal for the kids without much fuss. Just stir the sauce mix into boiling water or milk as instructed, then stir in the pasta and let it cook till done. I added some fresh basil to add more flavors to my pasta, and also a sprinkle of finely shredded parmesan. You could mix in a few veggies if you like, or your favorite meat.
It was a quick-fix dinner that everyone enjoyed. And it also tasted good. IN fact, you could pair it with a delicious wine and maybe a dessert to convert a quick meal into a gourmet one. I am super excited about my box of Hamburger Helper® Cheesy Macaroni. Thought it would be a simple meal for some, I already have some interesting ideas to turn into a a crowd-pleasing side dish that is spiced up with Indian flavors and loaded with some wholesome veggies.
Check out my post on Tandoori Macaroni & Cheese that I made using Hamburger Helper® Cheesy Macaroni!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Hamburger Helper® . The opinions and text are all mine.

What is Diplomatic Immunity?
- print Print
- list Cite
Diplomatic Immunity is a privilege and/or courtesy granted to official representatives of foreign governments to conduct official business and not be subjected to criminal charges or lawsuits for any actions taken while in their official capacity. The purpose of immunity is to allow diplomats to conduct the business of the country which they represent unhindered. It is not total, immunity, however. One will be held criminally responsible for felonies or other seriously unlawful acts (the Mel Gibson movie to the contrary notwithstanding.) Additionally, if one is acting in a private rather than official capacity, the privilege would most likely not apply. However, as long as the diplomat is lawfully engaged in the business of his government, he cannot be held criminally or civilly liable. The privilege dates back to ancient times when mistreatment of a diplomat was considered mistreatment of the sovereign whom he represented. It has more recently become an element of international law by convention recognized by all major nations of the world.

A father whose toddler son was killed by a gunman with an illegal weapon has called on governments to "finish the job" by signing and ratifying the first global treaty to regulate the international arms trade.
David Grimason, who lost his two-year-old son Alistair in 2003, will join hundreds of campaigners at an event to celebrate the adoption of the Arms Trade Treaty.
He has campaigned for tighter controls on the trade of weapons since his son was killed during a gunfight at a cafe in the seaside village of Foca, Turkey, almost a decade ago.
The toddler was asleep in his pram when an argument broke out at a nearby table and a man opened fire, killing the boy from East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire.
Mr Grimason said: "After years of campaigning with Oxfam and the Control Arms movement this event is a chance to recognise the importance of what happens next.
"More than 150 states voted in favour of this historic new treaty and we want as many countries as possible to sign it on June 3, helping it to become international law as soon as possible. We must finish the job on the Arms Trade Treaty.
"Every minute, someone loses their life to armed violence and millions more are affected. As someone who has been personally affected through the death of my son, I know the treaty will make a big difference and save lives."
Mr Grimason, who now lives in Aberdeen, has worked with Oxfam, which is a leading member of the Control Arms coalition.
More than 100 civil society groups working in 120 countries are represented by the coalition, which is urging all states to sign and ratify the Arms Trade Treaty.
The treaty was approved by member states of the United Nations General Assembly last month and opens for signature at a ceremony in New York on June 3.
Judith Robertson, head of Oxfam Scotland, said: "It has been a long journey to get this far and there are many people responsible for making the Arms Trade Treaty a reality, not least supporters like David Grimason.
"Over many years David has selflessly used his own experience to tirelessly campaign for the international control of arms, to save the lives of others.
"The Control Arms coalition has been campaigning for more than a decade for a robust Arms Trade Treaty and this event in London not only marks this historic achievement, but also celebrates the support we have had from thousands of people around the UK who were committed to making the treaty a reality."
Anna Macdonald, Oxfam's head of arms control, said: "It was a ridiculous situation where bananas were regulated but deadly machine guns were not. Finally the world has listened to the call of millions of ordinary people around the world and agreed it's time to bring the arms trade under control.
"The overwhelming support of countries at the UN vote last month sends a clear message to the arms dealers who supply war lords and dictators that their time is up.
"We are urging all countries to sign the treaty at next month's ceremony at the UN and help to ensure that this agreement has a huge impact on millions of people around the world."
Foreign Secretary William Hague and Foreign Office minister Alistair Burt are due to speak at the event at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London today.

Three Black students waiting for a school bus in Rochester, New York were arrested after they refused police orders to "disperse," reports Raw Story.
On Nov. 27., Raliek Redd, Wan'Tauhjs Weathers and Daequon Carelock were waiting for a bus, arranged by their coach Jacob Scott, to pick them up and take them to a scrimmage game.
"We didn't do nothing," said Redd. "We was just trying to go to our scrimmage."
Despite their attempts to explain why they were standing there, police arrested them anyway.
According to the police report, they were blocking "pedestrian traffic while standing on a public sidewalk…preventing free passage of citizens walking by and attempting to enter and exit a store…Your complainant gave several lawful clear and concise orders for the group to disperse and leave the area without compliance.," reports WROC.com.
Scott arrived on the scene just as the teens were being handcuffed and he implored the police to let them go. They threatened to arrest him for coming to their defense.
"He goes on to say, 'If you don't disperse, you're going to get booked as well,'" Scott said. "I said, 'Sir, I'm the adult. I'm their varsity basketball coach. How can you book me? What am I doing wrong? Matter of fact, what are these guys doing wrong?'"
Scott said a sergeant showed up and backed up his officer.
"One of the police officers actually told me, if he had a big enough caravan, he would take all of us downtown," Scott said.
Scott said that the event was traumatic for everyone involved: "These young men were doing nothing wrong, nothing wrong. They did exactly what they were supposed to do and still they get arrested," Scott remarked. "I'm speaking to the officers with dignity…and still and yet – they see me get treated like nothing."

Times are really hard for all of us Africans Americans we will never be able to live in peace.
Waiting to go to a basketball game, what a stereotype
On Clinton-Shermann Airforce Base in Oklahoma 1965, I was talking with two other brothers about, I can't even remember, when we were acosted by base police to disperse. White Airpoliceman, aganist three brothers taling outside the BX. We figured it was the shop keepers in the little area outlined for them that made the call.
Black men in white America, we've been a target here before we were even born!

Just because you're not a people's person, don't mean you shouldn't go and pursue your career in uni or something.00|00|0
Yeah, i know but i just don't think people will like me, i have very controversial views and i wished i would stay at home.
Who cares about people liking you? You can always try and take online courses if you hate people that much. I'm currently bridging for my Registered Nurse online. I can take about 70% of the classes online except for the practicums.
I want to go to a uni with good reputation, my field depends on reputation.

Merry Christmas To All
I heard him exclaim as he sped out of sight, "Merry Christmas To All and to All a Good Night"! Well thank you Dear Santa because I BELIEVE!
Whether you believe in Santa or even celebrate Christmas or not, you probably have seen the goodness that comes this time of year because of this guy. I love reading stories in the news, or even seeing things happen for my self, where people thoughtfully reach out to one another and do a kind deed. The excitement of dropping off a tasty treat at a neighbor's house. The extra bit of kindness shown by people you come across in the community this season. That sparkle in a child's eye when he believes in the magic of the season. I happen to think that a lot of that comes from the example of Dear Old Santa Clause and I love it!
This Christmas morning will find me at church as I worship the real reason for the season and celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ with my family and friends through song and prayer. Then I will come home to spend a fabulous and fun day with the ones I love! To me that's the BEST part of Christmas!
What will you be doing? I hope that you are doing what you love with the ones you love today as well. Merry Christmas from my heart to yours!

Senator Flake and the FACT Act: What is Fair?
- Author: Barbara O'Brien

When U.S. Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) introduced the Furthering Asbestos Claim Transparency (FACT) Act of 2014 (S. 2319) to the Senate on May 12, he claimed the bill was needed to prevent fraud. But there are open questions whether the fraud the bill addresses is real or imagined, and if it is real, whether there is another way to address the alleged fraud that wouldn't hurt the very real victims of asbestos exposure.
What You Need to Know About the VA Scandal

Veterans who depend on the VA for their health care and who hear the talking heads on television yammering about the "VA scandal" must be concerned. These include our many Vietnam veterans, most of whom are aged 60 and above now. Statistics tell us Vietnam vets are unusually susceptible to high blood pressure and cancer. Former Navy sailors and shipyard workers suffer high rates of mesothelioma. Gulf War veterans have an increased risk of fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.

Image: A satellite image of the Bangladeshi coast shows the dangerous shipbreaking yards.
Shipbreaking is another name for ship demolition. It is the work of taking old ships apart for whatever can be salvaged — steel, bolts, cables, machine parts. It is dangerous work. Many old ships are oozing flammable fuel, for example, and sometimes workers die in fires. Other workers are killed when rusted decks give way beneath their feet, or when they are crushed by falling debris.
The Impact of Asbestos Use Worldwide

Although the danger of asbestos was acknowledged decades ago, and although the mineral is entirely or mostly banned in most industrialized nations, the world is still feelings the effects of asbestos use. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), deaths from asbestos-related disease worldwide increased from 90,000 in 2006 to 107,000 in 2010. These are deaths from lung cancer, mesothelioma and asbestosis caused by asbestos exposure, mostly in the workplace. As many as one in three deaths from occupational cancer may be caused by asbestos WHO says. Several thousand more deaths annually can be attributed to exposure to asbestos in the home.

Under the Law Code of Hammurabi, which dates to about 1772 BC, if Bob accused Jim of a capital crime but failed to prove his case, Bob would be put to death. And since just about everything — including serving watered-down beer — was a capital crime in those days, one suspects Hammurabi's judges had a lot of free time on their hands. The cause of justice may not have been well served, however.

February is Wise Health Care Consumer Month, says the American Institute of Preventative Medicine. But why?
The argument is that if more people become smarter health care shoppers, this by itself could "bend the curve" of our rising health care costs, slowing the rate at which costs increase. Too many people have been getting unnecessary diagnostic tests and treatments, it is said, which means more money spent on health care.

Is Gregory Peck Really a Man or a Coward in the "Big Country"?
Starring in "The Big Country" are Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston, Burl Ives and Jean Simmons.
When James McKay (Gregory Peck), a former sea captain from the East, arrives in the West to meet his soon-to-be wife's family, he finds himself an unwilling participant in a family war over water rights.
Two wealthy cattle ranchers, Major Henry Terrill (Charles Bickford) and Rufus Hannassey (Burl Ives) are feuding over the water rights on land owned by Julie Maragon (Jean Simmons). Maragon doesn't want to sell the land to either man, and thus pick sides, so she keeps ownership of the property hoping that the fight between the two families will eventually settle itself.
James McKay doesn't want to pick sides either, which disturbs his soon-to-be father-in-law, Major Henry Terrill. McKay doesn't believe that violence is the way to settle the feud which makes the other men on the ranch and his fiancée Patricia Terrill (Carroll Baker) question his manhood.
As his fiancée begins to question his love for her because he isn't willing to fight like the other men, McKay finds himself in an increasingly difficult situation.
Is James McKay really a coward? Can the two families somehow figure out a way to live peaceably in "The Big Country"?
• The Terrill mansion that is featured in "The Big Country" was actually a special set that was built on the Samuel Goldwyn studio lot. At the time, it was one of the biggest sets ever built. The location scenes were shot in various parts of California including Red Rock Canyon in the Mojave Desert.
• "The Big Country" is based on a novel by Donald Hamilton named "Ambush at Blanco Canyon" that was serialized in The Saturday Evening Post in 1957. The original novel was never released as a book, but Donald Hamilton did later write a revised novel named "The Big Country" that was based on the story in this western.
• Jessamyn West wrote the script adaptation for "The Big Country." William Wyler chose West to write the script for this movie, after having used him to help write the screenplay for "Friendly Persuasion," another William Wyler movie with a pacifist theme. (In the movie "Friendly Persuasion," the family are Quakers who are trying to live peaceful lives during the Civil War.)
• Director and producer William Wyler spent over $3 million on "The Big Country," making it a huge epic western for its time. The money was a good investment because the movie made over $4 million at the distributor box office level the year it was released. It has since gone on to make millions of dollars more from rentals.
• "The Big Country" was reportedly one of President Eisenhower's favorite films.
• Burl Ives won two major acting awards for his performance in "The Big Country." He won the 1959 Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role and the 1959 Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor.
• "The Big Country" was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Music Scoring (Jerome Moross).
• William Wyler was nominated for a Directors Guild of America Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Motion Pictures.

A famous movie saying goes something like this: "If you build it they will come." It is an inspirational quote and while in some cases in real life it is a fact, not so much when it comes to internet marketing. When you build a website and you do not conduct any marketing or promotion, visitors will not come naturally. Even if your website has great content, it will be completely useless if people cannot find it. That is why there is a need for search engine optimization or SEO. A really good SEO firm can help you get started on it.
If you are a businessman and you have just gotten into an online business, it is not an easy thing to do for you to jump right in and conduct your own search engine optimization. Remember that while traditional marketing also works on the web, there are still differences that only an SEO specialist can handle.
However, that does not mean you should not be doing your own SEO especially if you have the passion for it. After all, who else knows your business better than yourself? You are the best person to fully understand what your business is all about, what your product and service is, know your target market, and finally, how to reach those ideal customers.
But getting the services of a good SEO firm is still your best option. Here are a few of the reasons why you should hire an SEO company.
1. You will have more time to run your business.
You are after all, a businessman, and running your business and making it grow should always be your focus. Search engine optimization is just a part of your overall marketing campaign, the only difference is that it is done on the web. Let the SEO experts do the job for you, freeing you to focus on the core aspects of your business.
2. It saves you the time and work to hire SEO people.
When you have a big business, it is often hard for just one person to handle its search engine optimization or marketing. Often you need these people to help you: an SEO specialist, link builders, copywriters, videographers if you are into video marketing, and others. And it will also cost you a lot of money to put all of these people under your own office. You are better off hiring an SEO company who already have these key people with the right expertise to get your website ranking in the search results.
3. You get the expertise of the SEO specialists.
We all have our own talents and skills. If you lack the knowledge to do your own SEO, then it is best that you just hire an SEO firm that has its own SEO experts. Not only do you pay for a certain set of services, but you are also getting the assistance or services from these specialists. You should not hire someone whose skills you already possess. Get someone who complements you and who can greatly contribute to the success of your online business.

The Waterlily Gardens (Formally Waihi Waterlily Gardens)
The GardenThe Waihi Waterlily Gardens have captivated imaginations, stimulated senses and provided enchanting water garden experiences for more than fifty years. Visitors from every corner of the globe have left footprints beneath giant flora, on grassy knolls, and next to the natural waterways that run through this magnificent fifteen acre property. Many return to nourish the seeds they'd planted during past visits: the seeds of fond memories.
Beautifully mature trees, rolling topography, and a lake fed by a gently meandering stream set the framework for the Waihi Waterlily Gardens. The ponds, more than twenty in all, are rich with splashes of yellow, red, white, blue, pink, peach and cream; waterlilies delicate on the surface. Broad, rolling areas of lush green grass are segmented by clusters of ponds, giant trees and natural waterways. There's a 'wow' factor round every bend. Canopied by giant oaks, liriodendrons, maples, liquid ambers, meta sequoias and swamp cyprus', water is transported over a ford and down a tall step before heading through a trail of native New Zealand Flora; including rimu, kahikatea, lancewood, miro and kauri. After exiting the bush, past cascading water, past the gingko trees and the copper beech, the gardens open to an expansive 2 acre lake, overlooked by a weeping willow and surrounded by giant flora.

Date: 06 November 2016
Links: Think Tank Photo Press Release / Think Tank Photo Airport Advantage /
On September 13, 2016, Think Tank Photo released the Airport Advantage Carry On Rolling Camera Bag, specifically designed so that you can bring the maximum amount of photo gear onto the smaller Commuter and Regional Aircraft you may encounter on your travels.From release/information:
One of the truths of air travel with camera gear is that the maximum amount of gear photographers can carry is limited by the smallest plane on which they'll be traveling. In response, we have released the Airport Advantage rolling camera bag. Designed for traveling on commuter or regional jets, the bag's customized interior holds the maximum amount of gear that will fit in overhead bins or under seats. In addition, its ultralight design lets photographers pack more gear while staying under airlines' increasingly vigilant weight restrictions.

Planning a ski trip for your favorite McKinney church or school group: it's one of those things that sounds like a good idea when you start out, but it can quickly turn into one of those "I have made a horrible mistake" moments. This is where Ski Daddy steps in. With their offices on the McKinney Square, Ski Daddy is operated by McKinney residents Mike and Leanne DiLeo, and their primary focus is group ski trips to Colorado, Utah and New Mexico.
Ski Daddy has developed great relationships with top ski resorts over the years. Hot ski spots like Winter Park, Crested Butte, and Copper Mountain work closely with Ski Daddy to make sure their groups are well taken care of. Ski Daddy handles everything from accommodations to equipment rentals to lift tickets. In addition, Ski Daddy provides an individual website for each of their groups to make managing the sign-ups a breeze for the group leader.
Mike started Ski Daddy ten years ago and will be sending over 200 groups skiing this year, so there aren't many issues that a group might face that Ski Daddy hasn't dealt with. Mike strives to make Ski Daddy the easiest way to plan a group ski trip. Leanne, the Ski Mama, has gleaned a long list of tips from years of mothering their groups and she enjoys helping the groups manage these small details. Mike and Leanne, along with their amazing staff, Kelly and April, strive to make Ski Daddy the easiest way to plan a group ski trip, and they've been pretty successful at it so far.
When they aren't at Ski Daddy, you're likely to find the DiLeos helping someone. Whether they are decorating their neighborhood for Christmas or helping at the school concession stand, if there is a need you will usually find them there. Mike and Leanne work closely with Tom and Becky Brockelman, former McKinney residents who are now missionaries in Sierra Leone. Between the two of them, Mike and Leanne have made several trips over to help with the Brockelman's work. They have no plans to stop that work anytime soon.
So if you'd like to take your school or church group skiing, or a family reunion on the slopes sounds fun, get in touch with Mike and Leanne to plan your group ski trip.
