Léo MajorStatements By Members
2 p.m.
Michel Boudrias Bloc Terrebonne, QC
Mr. Speaker, Quebec has its own war heroes who deserve special recognition on the occasion of that other 150th anniversary.
One of them, Léo Major, is our only soldier to have been awarded the Distinguished Conduct Medal, the DCM, in two separate wars. He landed at Normandy and single-handedly captured almost 100 Nazi soldiers at the Battle of the Scheldt.
He refused to return home despite having lost an eye and broken his back. He had a war to finish.
In one night, he single-handedly liberated the Dutch city of Zwolle, which was occupied by 1,000 enemy troops.
During the Korean War, he and 18 soldiers recaptured a hill that an American division of 10,000 had lost. Léo Major and his men held their position for three days, repelling seven attacks by two Chinese divisions 14,000 soldiers strong.
Quebec has war heroes who fought and are still fighting for freedom, and Léo Major was one of them. Some soldiers by their actions become legend.
Léo Major, je me souviens. I remember. We will all remember.
Clayton CassidyStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Jati Sidhu Liberal Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon, BC
Mr. Speaker, I rise to celebrate the life of a courageous resident of Cache Creek.
Clayton Cassidy served his community with integrity over the last 30 years as a member of the fire department, serving as fire captain and, most recently, fire chief. While investigating water levels following the floods in Cache Creek, Chief Cassidy tragically lost his life.
In the words of his brother Patrick, Clayton was a compassionate community leader. He was a man uncomfortable with praise who devoted his life to helping others.
Clayton Cassidy is survived by his wife Rose, his three sons, seven grandchildren and seven siblings.
On behalf of the constituents of Mission—Matsqui—Fraser Canyon, I offer my sincere condolences to the Cassidy family. Chief Cassidy's service will forever be honoured and his courage will never be forgotten.
FinanceStatements By Members

Arnold Viersen Conservative Peace River—Westlock, AB
Mr. Speaker, summer is coming, and Canadians across Canada are looking forward to another fishing season, with its promise of adventure and tall tales of that monster fish that got away.
The Liberals seem to love fishing just as much as the next guy, since all their lessons on governing come from fishing.
Lesson number one is that there is no such thing as too much equipment.
Lesson number two is that when in doubt, exaggerate.
Lesson number three is that even the best lines get weak after they have been used a few times.
Lesson number four is that sometimes we really have to squirm to get off the hook.
I know the Liberals have a fishing story they do not like to brag about, but let us be honest, we are not talking about a small fry here. The Liberals said the deficit would only be this big, but we know it is really that big. That monster $28 billion deficit continues to dive deeper and run the line.
The Liberals need to stop baiting us with wild fishing stories and reel in this deficit.
Cumberland-Colchester Constituency Youth CouncilStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Bill Casey Liberal Cumberland—Colchester, NS
Mr. Speaker, last fall, 14 bright young people representing every corner of our riding formed the Cumberland-Colchester Constituency Youth Council. They kicked off a study on youth retention and outmigration in rural Nova Scotia. They approached it like a parliamentary committee, heard from many witnesses and held lively discussions.
Their final report calls on governments to invest in the kinds of infrastructure that rural Nova Scotia needs for economies and communities to thrive, things like broadband internet, cellphone service, small schools, support for entrepreneurs, recreational infrastructure, and tourism. Their report is now in the hands of every municipal councillor, MLA and MP in the area.
These young people showed a great thirst for knowledge about civics and politics, and I want to thank them for their report. I also want to thank my executive assistant, Joel Henderson, for organizing and monitoring the entire process. I want to thank you as well, Mr. Speaker, for allowing me to talk about it.
Community SupportStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Robert Aubin NDP Trois-Rivières, QC
Mr. Speaker, the weather has long been one of our favourite topics of casual conversation. Since the flooding that spring brought to the Mauricie, however, it has become practically all we talk about.
I say "practically" because what we should have focused on was the incredible outpouring of support that saw perfect strangers helping each other without expecting anything in return.
By offering my thanks I hope to promote humankind's capacity for goodwill.
I offer my thanks to those who, even today, are still helping their neighbours. I offer my thanks to the many military personnel, police officers and firefighters for their help. I offer my thanks to the artists who held benefit concerts for the victims. I offer my thanks to the politicians who put aside their differences to respond to the emergency and alleviate the distress people were in.
Finally, I offer my thanks to everyone whose acts of kindness, while I might not be aware of them, make me proud to be your humble representative.
Canada 150 Poetry ContestStatements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Lloyd Longfield Liberal Guelph, ON
Mr. Speaker, today I am thrilled to represent Guelph High School student Michaela McBryde's winning submission in Guelph's Canada 150 Poetry Contest, titled "150 Years of Greatness":
A Queen's signature
Leads to the birth of a nation
A nation called Canada
Free to make our own choices
In hopes they lead to greatness
Choices that created
Many ways to make life better
Many mistakes to learn from
Many decisions to change the world
Many opportunities for greatness
A strength on our own
Partnering up with others
To help the world
In war, in politics, in humanity
Peacekeepers for greatness
A country of 36 and a half million people
Citizens contributing thoughts, discoveries, advancements, technology, art, music, history, exports and services
Canadians strive for greatness
Canada is strong and unified
We stand together
To celebrate our history
A celebration of 150 years of greatness.
I congratulate Michaela.
Religious FreedomStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Garnett Genuis Conservative Sherwood Park—Fort Saskatchewan, AB
Mr. Speaker, today we remember a terrible event that took place 33 years ago and marked a horrific escalation in tensions between Sikhs and the India government.
Apparently seeking to target militants, the Indian army launched Operation Blue Star in June of 1984, attacking the Harmandir Sahib complex or Golden Temple in Amritsar. This event precipitated the assassination of Indira Gandhi and subsequent coordinated massacres against the Sikh community.
The Golden Temple is the most sacred site to the Sikh faith. Innocent lives were lost, and the temple itself was damaged.
We cannot change the past, but it is important we learn its lessons and promote justice and reconciliation as we go forward.
Any attacks on holy sites obviously have a profound negative impact on community relations and have a searing effect on the psyche of the faithful. They of course leave thousands of innocents vulnerable. This particular attack clearly did all of those things.
People should be able to pray without fear of violence.
Throughout the world, Canada must make human rights, religious freedom, justice, and reconciliation central foreign policy priorities.
Oral Question PeriodStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Greg Fergus Liberal Hull—Aylmer, QC
Mr. Speaker, last month, one of my constituents, Ms. Houle, wrote to the local newspaper to say how deplorable she found the behaviour of parliamentarians during a recent oral question period she attended. She is not alone. Each one of us sitting in the House is extremely fortunate to be here representing our constituents. There is no greater privilege I can have than to serve the residents of Hull—Aylmer as their member of Parliament. I love my work.
I would not be truthful if I said that I entirely enjoy question period, especially of late. The catcalling, heckling, yelling, and mindless applauding leaves me cold. In private conversations with members on all sides of the House, I know my feelings are shared by many.
I am therefore issuing a challenge to my colleagues. During oral question period from now until the summer recess, let us stop applauding our immediate colleagues and heckling those sitting across the aisle.
Let us show Madam Houle and all Canadians that we can do better.
Portugal DayStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Julie Dzerowicz Liberal Davenport, ON
Mr. Speaker, in honour of June 10, Portugal Day, I would like to pay tribute to nine Portuguese leaders who have been recognized in the community over the last couple of months.
They are not only Portuguese leaders but they are Canadian leaders. They have made their community proud as they have made significant contributions that have made Canada a better country.
They are Jack Oliveira of LiUNA Local 183, business manager and community leader; Frank Alvarez, award winning broadcaster of Portuguese news and culture; FPCBP Gala winners, Nellie Pedro for business excellence, José Maria Eustáquio for community leadership, Dr. Carlos Teixeira for academic work, and Constable Peter de Quintal, as next generation leader.
Finally, the 2017 Portuguese Walk of Fame recipients are Charles Sousa, Ontario minister of finance; Pedro Gil Vieira, award winning physicist; and popular Portuguese musician Antonio Amaro.
It is said, "True leaders do not create followers they create more leaders." All these leaders hae achieved this through their respective work.
[Member spoke in Portuguese as follows:]
Parabens a todos. E obrigada pela vossa liderança e inspiração.
BAPS Shri Swaminarayan MandirStatements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Deepak Obhrai Conservative Calgary Forest Lawn, AB
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 10th anniversary of the magnificent BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir in Toronto. It is Canada's first traditional hand-carved Hindu place of worship.
On the 22nd of July, 2007, the Shri Swaminarayan Mandir was inaugurated and dedicated to the people of Canada by His Holiness the late Pramukh Swami Maharaj, the creator and inspirational force behind the temple.
This summer, the 10th anniversary will be celebrated in the presence of His Holiness Mahant Swami Maharaj, the current spiritual leader of the BAPS Swaminarayan organization. On the behalf of the members, I welcome His Holiness to Canada.
BAPS Shri Swaminarayan organization is a worldwide organization dedicated to promoting spiritual, social and cultural needs of millions of Hindus around the world.
I invite all members of Parliament to join me on July 22nd in Toronto to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Mandir.
Bay of Quinte EducatorsStatements By Members
June 7th, 2017 / 2:15 p.m.
Neil Ellis Liberal Bay of Quinte, ON
Mr. Speaker, I offer sincere congratulations to two Bay of Quinte teachers, Sheryl Parker and Susan Sewell-Charles, who are two of the 37 recipients of the 2016-2017 Prime Minister's Award for Teaching Excellence and Excellence in Early Childhood Education.
The Bay of Quinte has tremendously engaged educators operating from public and private institutions at all grade levels. Our educators consistently point their students ahead by creating dynamic climates of learning that allow them to test their own ideas, understand the world around them, and determine the best course of action for their own future.
Sheryl and Susan as a team work very hard to encourage the talent, ideas, and engagement of our local students at Queen Victoria Public School in Belleville. Together they have provided a dynamic and inclusive environment for students to acquire the innovative knowledge and skills required for their long-term success in life. These two remarkable teachers, like so many others, are helping us all to take another step toward a brighter future by investing so much into our children.
Business in Markham—ThornhillStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Mary Ng Liberal Markham—Thornhill, ON
Mr. Speaker, recently I participated in round tables with the Markham Board of Trade and industry leaders from high tech, digital, automotive, clean tech, and higher education.
We discussed how to ensure that Markham continues to be a leader in our national economy.
I learned about GM's new autonomous and connected cars centre, about IBM's innovation space and Markham convergence centre that are helping businesses take their technology to global markets, Icon Digital's state-of-the-art production facility, and Pond Technologies' commercialization of its research to fight climate change. These multinational Canadian headquarters and SMEs located right in Markham are proud employers to tens of thousands of jobs and are leading the way in innovation.
I am proud budget 2017 is investing in an innovative future economy that will create middle-class jobs for today and tomorrow. I look forward to continuing the work with all businesses in Markham—Thornhill.
73rd Anniversary of D-DayStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Michael Chong Conservative Wellington—Halton Hills, ON
Mr. Speaker, 73 years ago this week, an Allied force of over 150,000 soldiers, 4,000 ships, and 11,000 airplanes began the D-Day attack to defeat Nazism and liberate the people of western Europe. The Canadians went north to the Netherlands, a distance of some 300 miles. It took them four months to get there, advancing only three miles a day. Every mile of ground was soaked in Canadian blood.
Eleven months after D-Day, in May 1945, Canadian soldiers finally liberated the Netherlands, including my mother's family in Friesland.
More than 7,600 Canadians died in the canals, fields, and villages of the Netherlands so that my mother and her family could live, and the Dutch have never forgotten. I am here today because of the sacrifices of those Canadian so long ago.
We will never forget. Je me souviens.
Hockey Night in Canada, Punjabi EditionStatements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Raj Grewal Liberal Brampton East, ON
Mr. Speaker, no matter where we are from or what we believe in, Canadians are all united by our love for the sport of hockey. We have all enjoyed the sport, whether it is street hockey, ball hockey, ice hockey, field hockey, or table hockey.
That is why Hockey Night in Canada, Punjabi Edition has been a great success. Punjabi is Canada's third most spoken language after English and French, and the show has garnered thousands of fans. Perhaps the most memorable moment was when host Harnarayan Singh had the call of the year—"Bonino, Bonino, Bonino"—which went viral.
However, it is unfortunate that during this year's Stanley Cup playoffs, the show has been the target of racism and insensitive comments online. This is not who we are as Canadians.
I am proud to proclaim that we stand in solidarity with the show, for it is the epitome of our diversity and an example of what makes our country so great. I ask my hon. colleagues to help by watching and spreading the word of Hockey Night in Canada, Punjabi Edition.
Status of WomenStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Sheila Malcolmson NDP Nanaimo—Ladysmith, BC
Mr. Speaker, because almost half of Canadian companies have no women on their boards, zero, Canadian women expected our self-proclaimed feminist Prime Minister to turn words into action. However, Liberals are using the failed, discredited comply and explain model of the Conservative Party in Bill C-25. The government should adopt my legislation, Bill C-220, to get gender balance.
Quebec legislated quotas, and in five years reached parity on crown boards. The same success came with legislation in France, Norway, Finland, Iceland, and Sweden.
Without quotas, Canadian women will wait 72 years for equity. As Caroline Codsi from La Gouvernance au Féminin said, "When we legislate, we find women. When we do not legislate, we find excuses."
Let us no more excuses. It is time for the government to act on women's equality.
Government PoliciesStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Pierre Poilievre Conservative Carleton, ON
Mr. Speaker, last year, two little girls started up a lemonade stand to raise money for summer camp, but they were shut down by the government because they did not have a permit. This year, the current government has produced a permit application form for these young entrepreneurs, with 10 conditions and eight additional conditions. It requires they also report all of their revenue to the federal government, supposedly so that Revenue Canada can keep a careful eye on whether they are paying their taxes.
Of course, the government needed to prevent chaos from breaking out. We do not need kids on the street playing road hockey or roasting marshmallows over an open flame with all those greenhouse gases being emitted. Finally some order is being restored, but along with it is a $37 billion problem, which is red tape. It prevents immigrants from working in their professions, prevents builders from constructing affordable housing, and prevents businesses from working for their customers instead of the bureaucrats.
Will the government finally stand out of the way of these young entrepreneurs?
Terrorist Attack in AfghanistanStatements By Members
2:20 p.m.
Mark Holland Liberal Ajax, ON
Mr. Speaker, yesterday in Afghanistan another craven act of cowardice struck.
Walking to prayers during the holy month of Ramadan, peaceful worshippers were targeted in Herat. As they went in to pray, they were assaulted. Seven lives were stolen and many people were left injured. They came to reflect on the core message of Ramadan—peace, compassion, and empathy—but were assailed by its opposite.
The smoke and destruction that desecrated the great Jama Masjid is a testament to the depravity of this action. It is evidence of a spineless evil that targets the innocent and most vulnerable with heartless indifference.
The victims and their families, the people of Afghanistan, and Afghans across Canada should know that this House and all of Canada stand with them. Know that we will not rest until such cowards are brought to justice and until such evil is extinguished.
Government AppointmentsOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Regina—Qu'Appelle Saskatchewan
Andrew Scheer ConservativeLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, by trying to appoint a Liberal donor and activist, Madeleine Meilleur, the Prime Minister made a mockery of a process he claimed would be open and transparent, but luckily Madame Meilleur has better judgment than he does and has withdrawn herself from a process that has become tainted.
As a provincial minister, Madame Meilleur introduced a law that required multi-party support for positions like this. Will the Prime Minister learn a lesson here and ensure that the next officer of Parliament, the Ethics Commissioner, will not be another partisan Liberal and will enjoy all-party support in the House?
Government AppointmentsOral Questions
2:20 p.m.
Papineau Québec
Justin Trudeau LiberalPrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, we know that Canadians need a strong, independent appointment process, and that is why we reformed to an open way the appointments process in this country. After 10 years of excessive partisanship by the former Conservative government, we know that picking the best people for the jobs regardless of their backgrounds, people who reflect the full diversity of this country, is what Canadians expect. That is exactly what we are delivering.
InfrastructureOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Regina—Qu'Appelle Saskatchewan
Andrew Scheer ConservativeLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, after misleading Canadians for weeks, the Liberals finally admitted yesterday that their infrastructure bank will put taxpayers on the hook for failed projects, while the investors get all the profits. The finance minister claimed that there will be minimal risk to taxpayers. How reassuring. The Prime Minister also claimed that his deficits would be minimal too, but we all know how that turned out.
Just how much taxpayer money is the Prime Minister willing to put on the line so that his billionaire friends get to keep all the profits?
InfrastructureOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Papineau Québec
Justin Trudeau LiberalPrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, Canadians were very clear over the past years. They need investments in their communities, in public transit, in green infrastructure, in better housing, in the kinds of things that make our communities stronger and give growth and opportunities to people both right now and into the future. That is why we put together $180 billion of investments in infrastructure, including a brand new world-class infrastructure bank that will leverage private capital to deliver even more of the infrastructure that our communities and Canadians need.
We have an ambitious plan to build this country and we know Canadians are with us.
InfrastructureOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Regina—Qu'Appelle Saskatchewan
Andrew Scheer ConservativeLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, the leverage comes from using taxpayers' money to guarantee profits for investors, and that is not right.
The Prime Minister needs to stop evading the issue. Everyone knows that his infrastructure bank is only going to make his rich Liberal friends richer without having to worry about taking any losses.
Will he tell Canadians once and for all how much taxpayer money he is willing to waste to line the pockets of his millionaire friends?
InfrastructureOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Papineau Québec
Justin Trudeau LiberalPrime Minister
Mr. Speaker, for years now, Canadians across the country have been telling us that their communities have desperate infrastructure needs that must be met.
That is why we created an investment plan worth $180 billion that will be rolled out over the next few years. It will create opportunities for Canadians and good jobs now, as well as economic growth for the middle class for the next few years.
The infrastructure bank is just one of our innovative ways to generate even more capital and build the infrastructure, such as bridges and public transit, that Canadians need.
Public SafetyOral Questions
2:25 p.m.
Regina—Qu'Appelle Saskatchewan
Andrew Scheer ConservativeLeader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, Canadian parents have every right to know if a convicted sex offender is living in their neighbourhood.
Our previous Conservative government had a plan in place to help make that information available, but it seems that the Liberals might not let parents have access to it. That would be a bad idea.
Will the Prime Minister assure Canadian parents that they will have access to the data base?

I've been playing around with Gabbr.com lately and finally got around to posting about the site. Gabbr is a web 2.0 news, social bookmarking and networking tool that makes all these features great for finding like minded content and users. If you have good content you'll really enjoy using this service because it encourages you to share you blog content in many ways. First up it lets you input your RSS feed which provides dofollow links, second you can submit individual blog posts or articles which are also dofollow and listed on your public profile. Gabbr has 16,000+ user pages indexed in Google so it looks like this service is picking up nicely! These features allow you to also get related news and eventually network socially to find like minded people in your niche. Another feature that takes Gabbr ahead of the rest is "attention based tracking" which monitors popular content throughout its network. I've quickly setup a page although the RSS feed option was giving me PHP errors at the present time, but take a look at my profile to see what I'm talking about. If you're ready to participate head on over to the join page.
Website Promotion
Instead of having multiple blogs across multiple sites, Gabbr allows bloggers from all types of blogs to submit their blog entries for discussion in a centralized location. The blog entries are also mirrored on the original blog authors website. This cross promotion leads to an increase in the readership of all participating weblogs. The aim is to break down traditional online media barriers while creating constructive online communities. If your blogsite has its own RSS or Atom feed you can submit it to Gabbr so that others can read it thereby increasing the distribution of your site's content.

Welcome to the Special Group in Coaching Psychology.
Welcome to the Special Group in Coaching Psychology (SGCP). The SGCP supports coaching psychologists, coaches, individual clients and organisations who are interested in learning more about coaching psychology and coaching services.
Our aim is to promote the development of coaching psychology as a professional activity and clarify the benefits of psychological approaches within coaching practice. We are committed to fostering excellence in coaching practice through: research, events, publications, discussion and professional development.
The SGCP is committed to providing easier access to psychological resources to organisations, non-psychologist coaches, as well as individual purchasers of coaching services.
See our on-line list of members of the SGCP who are Chartered Psychologists to enable fast identification of coaching psychologists by post code, experience and a range of other factors.
About us
The Special Group in Coaching Psychology (SGCP) was established to provide psychologists with a means of sharing research as well as practical experiences that relate to the psychology of coaching. As SGCP has developed the focus is not just on coaching psychologists, but also on coaches who are interested in using psychology in their coaching.
Our vision is to be recognised as a leading authority on coaching psychology and to be central to development of the profession.
Our mission is to Highlight the Psychology in Coaching, via:
The SGCP is formed of a main committee of almost 20 members, supported by members who sit on Sub-Committees and working party groups. All are volunteers and committed to the development of the profession, and in providing our members with numerous valuable benefits; CPD events, annual conference, ethics advice, two free publications, reduced rates at our and others events, and being part of an active network for sharing information and ideas.
In brief, SGCP was formed as a result of lobbying by the Coaching Psychology Forum (CPF). CPF originally started as an internet based forum. It was founded in 2002 in response to concerns about untrained or poorly trained coaches, and the related need to promote improved standards of practice for the benefit of the profession of coaching, coaches, their clients and the public at large. In February 2003 CPF formed a working group and petitioned for the British Psychological Society to set up a group that supported psychologists who were involved in coaching practice, to enable them to focus on deepening understanding and awareness of coaching psychology as an area of psychological practice.
After almost 2 years, on 15thDecember 2004, the Executive Committee of the SGCP was established at the inaugural Annual General Meeting of the Special Group in Coaching Psychology. Since the development of the SGCP, coaching psychology is developing a strong professional identity, with currently eight coaching psychology professional bodies in existence around Europe and Internationally.
A more indepth history of the SGCP is given in an article published in the first hard copy of The Coaching Psychologist in July 2005 (page 5).
Authors who wish to include these details in books or articles are asked to reference this article as the accurate copyrighted documention of the SGCP history.

Europe Week Ahead: Fed Meeting, Payrolls
The latest Fed minutes and nonfarm payrolls data will be the focus of markets' attention next week. But investors will be also looking to see if the Bank of Japan's policy is working, if Italy can form a ruling coalition and if the European Central Bank really needs to cut interest rates soon.

Microsoft continues to tinker with Windows 8 even as it finalises its beta version, acting on suggestions it received from users who have experimented with the Windows 8 Developer Preview.
Among the upgrades touted in the Building Windows 8 blog is a way to resolve file-name collisions during copy and move functions as well as how the system reacts when it is shut down during a copy job and then restarted.
Microsoft said that about 2,200 comments from users of the Developer Preview inspired some of the upgrades, which were made depending on whether the improvements were readily feasible within the overall architecture of Windows 8.
One change is in how the Windows 8 file system treats files that appear to be identical during copy or move functions, giving users the option to act on all the duplicates or just one depending on whether they are deemed identical or unique.
So if two files match names, size and timestamp, the vast majority of the time they will be duplicates, and both need not be copied or moved; one will do. But users will be presented with a dialog box informing them of the possible duplication and giving them the option to pick one or have both copied.
If both are copied, the name of one will be changed by adding a number to it.
Microsoft has said this is among several changes it is making to Developer Preview for inclusion in Windows 8 Beta before it is released sometime next month.
In defining duplicate files, the new file system can match names, file sizes and timestamps, with the latter being defined down to 100 nanoseconds on files in the Windows 7 New Technology File System (NTFS), which is being replaced in Windows 8 by Resilient File System (ReFS).
One main goal of ReFS is to keep data from being corrupted and to keep it available. Another related change: Windows 8 Beta will display a resume button to users when they reboot their machine after it shuts down during a copy job. Rather than simply picking up where it left off, it lets users decide whether that's what they want to do. The reason, according to the blog, is that significant changes might have been made since the copy job was interrupted.
Other tweaks Microsoft highlighted in its blog include several to Windows Explorer. One sets the default to minimize the ribbon across the top of the window so if users want it, they have to set it up. This was in response to an apparently large and blunt group protesting that they didn't like the ribbon.
Microsoft said it will continue to develop ribbons and urges customers who don't like it to try third-party tools to customise the navigation.
The beta version of Windows 8 will also include a learning tool within the ribbon for users who prefer using hot keys to clicking on ribbon icons. When they click on an icon, a "keytip" drops down, telling what hot key will carry out that function.

40+ Bands to Unite with Celebrated Rockers at Former Houston AstroWorld Site for Nation's Premier Labor Day Concert, August 29 – September 1, 2008
HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Some of rock's most legendary and notorious hair bands will join emerging stars for the massive Rock The Bayou music bash, featuring four days of music, food and family fun on the former grounds of Houston's AstroWorld theme park. The site is being transformed into a 100-acre festival playground for those who love to rock.
The Rock The Bayou festival features rock legends Sammy Hagar, Alice Cooper, Bret Michaels and his Rock of Love Tour, Queensryche, Twisted Sister, Skid Row, Great White, Ratt, Dokken, Warrant (with its original lineup), Yngwie Malmsteen, Slaughter, Y&T, Dangerous Toys, Little Caesar, Jetboy, Bullet Boys with Steven Adler, Lynch Mob, Britny Fox, Pretty Boy Floyd, Enuff Z'Nuff, Black 'n Blue, Gilby Clarke, Firehouse and Broken Teeth.
All told, more than 40 bands will play two stages over four days.
One of the most affordable summer music bashes in the country, Rock The Bayou offers a $99 single admission, early-bird ticket for all four days of the music festival. Active U.S. military (with ID) will be admitted for half-price. For tickets and information, charge by phone at (713) 629-4747, or visit RockTheBayou.com or OnlineTickets.com – the festival's exclusive ticket seller.
Buzz-generating Lineup
Rock The Bayou intends to be one of the nation's largest and most accessible summer concert fests, says Ali Fazeli, president of The Fazeli Group, which is promoting and producing the event. Some 50,000 people a day are expected to attend. Festival wristbands will allow people to come and go as they wish.
"We've got an unbelievable lineup that celebrates rock's top legendary artists," Fazeli explains. "We've designed an event with a family flavor and the most affordable ticket price of the large summer music festivals."
Plus, $1 from every Rock The Bayou ticket purchased will go to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, Lone Star Chapter, says Fazeli.
Homegrown Labor Day Vacation Alternative
With climbing gas prices putting the chill on Labor Day getaways, Rock The Bayou offers Texans a close-to-home alternative. "Rock The Bayou gives them a unique 'stay-cation' option – a chance to celebrate the end of summer without breaking the bank," explains Fazeli.
For family fun, a Ferris wheel is being brought in, along with a towering drive-in like screen that will play movies after nightly band performances. A second stage will feature Texas bands for continuous music. Rock The Bayou will also offer a VIP area, parking, safe campgrounds and RV facilities.
For Fazeli, the long days and nights putting together a legendary rock lineup have been energizing. The self-professed workaholic is also a big music fan.
"We're thrilled to have such a great group of performers at one, huge festival for the first time in Houston," he says. "This kind of event has been long overdue for such a diverse and acclaimed city."
For tickets and information, visit RockTheBayou.com or OnlineTickets.com. To charge by phone, call (713) 629-4747.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Video streaming website Hulu is expanding its slate of original programming in 2014 and will introduce four new series including reality TV satire "The Hotwives of Orlando" and supernatural comedy "Deadbeat."
Hulu on Wednesday announced it also will release new episodes this year of six other exclusive series, including comedian Seth Meyers' animated superhero show "The Awesomes," and "Moone Boy," starring "Bridesmaids" actor Chris O'Dowd.
The video streaming site, which offers next-day repeats of shows on broadcast TV networks ABC, Fox and NBC, is expanding its original programming to lure new viewers. The company competes with services like Netflix Inc and Amazon.com Inc's Prime Instant Video.
Hulu offers free movies and TV shows for viewing on a computer through advertising-supported Hulu.com. It charges $8 a month for additional shows through Hulu Plus, which can be streamed on Internet-connected TVs and mobile devices.
The service is owned by Walt Disney Co, 21st Century Fox and Comcast Corp. Last year the media giants considered selling the website but decided to keep it and invest $750 million.
A "significant portion" of that investment "will go toward bringing exclusive first-run content onto the service," Charlotte Koh, head of development for Hulu Originals, said in an interview.
"We are definitely increasing the number of shows we are producing in-house and acquiring," she said. "The breadth and variety of it is becoming a little wider."
Last year, Hulu released about 20 exclusive shows, including original productions and imports of foreign series.
This year's "The Hotwives of Orlando" is a spoof of Bravo's "Real Housewives" reality TV series and is produced by Paramount Digital Entertainment, the studio behind "Burning Love," a satire of "The Bachelor" dating competition.
"Deadbeat," a co-production with Lionsgate Television, is a comedy about a medium who helps ghosts settle unfinished business. Stars include Tyler Labine of former CW show "Reaper" and "So You Think You Can Dance" host Cat Deeley.
Hulu's other new shows are "The Next Step," about a group of teen dancers, and "The Bridge," a Scandinavian crime drama.
Hulu's revenue was expected to reach $1 billion in 2013, according to a December 18 blog post from CEO Mike Hopkins. The service launched in 2008.
The company will announce more shows for 2014 later this year, Koh said.

The following message from Bishop Robert Finn will be read at Masses in the Diocese of Kansas City - St. Joseph this weekend:
These past few weeks all of us have endured the consequences of our human failure. The destructive sins of a few and the serious lapses in communication have caused us shame, anger, and confusion.
There are victims that are hurting, and others who have been left vulnerable by our processes. As you know, in the past two weeks one priest was arrested and we removed another from ministry. They are the first sitting pastors to be removed in our Diocese in more than 20 years.
These are sobering realities, particularly for those who knew and trusted them. We are assessing what went wrong and applying our analysis as we move forward. This past week, I met with our Independent Review Board chairman and discussed the objectivity of our decision processes. I have also met with parishioners, our priests and Chancery staff, as well as the media. These meetings and discussions will continue.
As bishop, I take full responsibility for these failures and sincerely apologize to you for them. Clearly, we have to do more. Please know that we have --- and will continue to cooperate with all local authorities regarding these matters.
While we must deal with these difficult and trying issues we also must give thanks for the daily accomplishments of our lay faithful, priests and others for the many good works that continue on behalf of neighbors, sick or poor, young or old.
You generously responded to the need of people devastated by recent storms. Our food pantries and advocacy for the disadvantaged are second to none in our community.
These difficult days have also been marked with celebrations of our faith: First Communions and Confirmations, school graduations, weddings, anniversaries and Ordinations and other ceremonies. These blessings are noticed and counted, not lost.
On Pentecost Sunday, June 12, I will offer the 9:00 a.m. Mass at the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception. Please join me. At the same time I ask our pastors to offer the Pentecost Mass in your parishes – for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit upon this local Church, that God may give us whatever gifts and graces we need to carry forward His commission.

It's the last thing security professionals want to see: A new hacking method that makes it even harder to detect suspect code in emails. The method is actually a stealthy combination of two favorite attack modes, and it shows that hackers are pulling out all the stops to ensnare computer users in their webs.
Phishing and spear phishing have long been thought to be mutually exclusive hacking tricks, but cybercrooks have found a way to combine the two in a technique called longline phishing.
"The technique allows you to hit a lot of people very quickly and largely go undetected," Dave Jevans, founder and CTO of Marble Security and founder of the Anti-Phishing Work Group, told TechNewsWorld.
With spear phishing, which is typically used as a vehicle for advanced persistent threat attacks like the recent one on The New York Times, a select group of connected people are targeted with a highly credible email message based on extensive research of the targets' backgrounds.
"With longlining, you can get hundreds of people exposed to a website that will infect their computers," Jevans noted.
He explained that longliners — named after commercial fishermen who use long lines of hooks to catch fish — might send 100,000 emails from 50,000 IP addresses, which makes it difficult to identify an email from a particular server as hacking bait.

The Erie County Music Educators Association (ECMEA) is a non-profit organization that represents and supports music education throughout Erie County and Western New York.
ECMEA's purpose since its inception in 1949 has been to advance and strengthen the cause of music education in Erie County.

All-County Festivals
In March, five weekend festivals, encompassing seven choruses, four orchestras, five bands, and four jazz ensembles, showcase the talents of our All-County musicians. These 2100 students perform for a combined audience of close to 10,000! ECMEA selects conductors with the primary goal of enriching each student's artistic development. Conductors are chosen from highly respected local programs, nationally recognized collegiate programs, and the ranks of professional conductors. Concert tickets are $5.00.
Student Scholarships
Each year, ECMEA awards music scholarships to deserving high school seniors who plan to pursue a career in music. These students compete in a rigorous application, audition and interview process administered by selected music educators in Erie County. ECMEA has awarded nearly $300,000 in music scholarships since 1957.
Professional Development

What Is A Membrane Switch?
Membrane switches are generally made from five different layers.This includes membrane,grapic,tactile,rigid and static layers.The first layer contains the graphic interface for the user to control the machine. It can also include a flexible circuit for less expensive alternatives.Another layer will contain the printed circuit which allows a signal to be transmitted.The ink that is used for the printing on the circuit is generally made up of a variety of metals.This helps for the signal to be conductive for turning on and off.Membrane switches allow for communication to take place in electronic devices.Membrane switches are a piece of equipment that can be highly sophisticated or rather simple by design.

A little over a month ago, my wife was diagnosed with breast cancer. As some of you have noticed, I have not been posting as much since that time. I appreciate the email I received asking if I am alright. I am.
My wife and I are 49. Each year, my wife has a routine mammogram. As usual, this year's test was clear. However, my wife's OBGYN felt something during a visit and requested that the mammogram be repeated. Once again, it was clear. This time, the OBGYN requested a biopsy and it confirmed the existence of cancer.
If not for my wife's OBGYN's sensitive touch and persistence, we would not have known about the cancer. We probably would not have discovered it for at least another year, that is if the next mammogram would have shown it.
Thankfully, my wife's cancer was caught early. Just a week after the biopsy, surgery was done to remove the tumor. The next week, a second surgery was done to increase the margin (clear zone) around the area where the tumor was.
My wife is very strong and handled the surgeries very well. I was amazed that she took no painkillers at all.
Although the diagnosis and surgeries were very traumatic for my wife and me, as well as our extended family, we felt that the hard part was over.
That is when we really started to learn about breast cancer. Removing the tumor is just the tip of the iceberg. Tests began to determine exactly what type of tumor it was, how it responds to estrogen, its genetic characteristics, and other factors.
We quickly learned that the most important thing is to prevent the cancer for recurring, not just in the breasts but anywhere else in the body.
We knew that my wife would have to undergo radiation treatment to kill any remaining cancerous cells in the area of the tumor. But we learned that there are other treatments designed to minimize the risk of recurrence. In particular, there are chemotherapy, hormone blocking, and antibody treatments.
My wife is now scheduled to begin treatments on the 21st of this month.
Of course, I have been trying to learn as much as possible about breast cancer and the possible treatments. That is one reason I have not been blogging. I have also been accompanying my wife to all of her appointments and plan to do so as much as possible.
The next few months will be very challenging and her various treatments will continue for the next year or so. I mentioned to my wife that I wish that I could take the treatments for her. She replied that she thinks that she can handle them better than I could. I am pretty sure that she is right.
This is an ongoing learning process. One thing I would like to say is that I have a much greater appreciation for the members of the medical profession who save lives and help us to be healthy.
I am still practicing and teaching Karate. I feel that my Karate training helps me to be a better husband and supporter of my wife. I have tried to train hard in Karate since I was a teenager. I will try to do even more to assist my wife through this process. On January 7th, we will celebrate our 30th anniversary. Her chemotherapy is scheduled to be completed a week later.
Thank you again for the emails checking on my health. Thank you also for thoughts and prayers of those of you who might have already known about my wife's condition.

any right wingers here have a clue to how easy it is to make an election whatever you want it in at least 16 states. I am an engineer and I can tell you any one person can make these votes anything they want and there is no way to know or stop them. this is a national disgrace. Name one liberal company that made these machines/systems.
Right wingers... If these systems were made by a company owned by Jane Fonda, Michael Moore, Bill Clinton, Castro, the Iranians, would you trust the outcome of any election?
Election watchdogs keep wary eye on paperless e-voting systems
As the clock winds down to what could turn out to be an extremely close presidential race, some election watchdogs are keeping a wary eye on paperless electronic voting machines that are scheduled to be used in several key states and jurisdictions around the country.
Paperless systems are basically Direct Recording Electronic systems (DREs) in which voters cast their ballots in a completely electronic fashion by using push buttons or touchscreens.
Some DREs allow voters to print out a paper copy of their ballots to verify that their vote was cast as intended. Election watchdog groups such as Verified Voting and Common Cause and academicians have insisted that such a voter-verifiable paper-audit trail (VVPAT) is vital to ensuring the integrity of the vote in jurisdictions that use DREs.
But a total of 16 states will, to varying extents, use DREs that do not support a paper trail as their standard polling place equipment, according to Verified Voting.

That is precisely why I wanted the banks and auto companies to go through a managed bankruptcy, with the govt guarantee of DIP financing. This would have put the bad operators out on their asses.
Instead, we still have the same thieves running the banks, the auto companies and the government. In fact the biggest thief is the govt.

Bard--I think that some sort of dire financial or legal consequence should have happened to bankers to prevent repetition of the kind of risk taking. But whether it might have been better in the long run or not, there was no political path for a managed bankruptcy, or failure of more banks. The failure of the first panicked everybody--particularly Bush and McCain, and there was no political stomach for more bankruptcies. Financially, I think it was better to stabilize the economy and prevent a further financial panic--if you've studied history you know how bad they can be. But then nobody did anything of real consequence--after the stress tests--to punish the screw-ups. Instead they got bonuses.
On the auto industry side, I would argue that it was a work-out, which are pretty common in real estate transactions, and generally work better and faster than bankruptcies. As only Nixon could establish trade with China, I think only a Democrat could have forced the unions to take the haircut that they took.
I think that both bailouts were a net plus for the economy--but we remain with the too big to fail problem, where those taking foolish risks don't believe that they will get punished.
There was a wide array of potential solutions for the financial shenanigans short of re-instating the Glass-Steagall Act. Much of the bad behavior tracks tax policies that allow short term gains through gambling to be treated as favorably as long-term investments that create real products and real jobs. Requiring substantially longer holding times for investment would curtail the automated computerized gambling that nearly sunk the economy in 2010. Those practices don't create new values, they just swap money around and fleece the rookies. But two things seem to have escaped you. First, the only reason that we got back any money from the bail out was Obama and his staff--Bush was ready to give it away with no strings. Second, the meltdown was a direct result of orthodox Republican policies--it happened with S & L's, Enron, and sub-prime mortgages--that can't be coincidental. Third, the deregulation proposed by Mitt will ensure that it will happen again.

when people ear false witness with no facts to deny people thier right to vote in multiple cases they should do jail time. I am tough on crime...
Teresa Sharp is fifty-three years old and has lived in a modest single-family house on Millsdale Street, in a suburb of Cincinnati, for nearly thirty-three years. A lifelong Democrat, she has voted in every Presidential election since she turned eighteen. So she was agitated when an official summons from the Hamilton County Board of Elections arrived in the mail last month. Hamilton County, which includes Cincinnati, is one of the most populous regions of the most fiercely contested state in the 2012 election. No Republican candidate has ever won the Presidency without carrying Ohio, and recent polls show Barack Obama and Mitt Romney almost even in the state. Every vote may matter, including those cast by the seven members of the Sharp familyTeresa, her husband, four grown children, and an elderly auntliving in the Millsdale Street house

HOUSTON, TX - Friday afternoon at an early polling place located at 6719 W. Montgomery Road in Houston, NAACP members were seen advocating for President Barack Obama according to volunteer poll watchers on location at the time.
According to Eve Rockford, a poll watcher trained by voter integrity group True the Vote, three NAACP members showed up to the 139 precinct location with 50 cases of bottled water and began handing bottles out to people standing in line. While wearing NAACP labeled clothing, members were "stirring the crowd" and talking to voters about flying to Ohio to promote President Barack Obama.
After watching what was occurring, Rockford approached Polling Supervisor Rose Cochran about what she was seeing.
"I went to the polling supervisor and let her know that it was not appropriate that they were in the building handing out water. She ignored me. I repeated my statement. She told me that she would handle it. She did nothing. I then went to the assistant supervisor and he stood up, walked over to another table and then sat down. I then walked into the waiting room and they were reloading another dolly with more cases of water," Rockford said in a True the Vote incident report.
After handing out water and advocating for President Obama, the NAACP members started handpicking and moving people to the front of a long voting line inside the polling place according to the incident report. After multiple complaints from voters about the line cutting, Rockford received a phone call from downtown telling her to stand down.
All of the sudden one of the clerks, Dayan Cohen, said that someone wanted to speak to me on the phone. It was someone from downtown. I got on the phone and she said she was from downtown and that I needed to stand down and that it was okay for the NAACP to be within 100 ft. and they could hand out water. I told her that the NAACP was inside the building, wearing the NAACP clothing and caps and were handing out water and moving people from the back of the lines to the front of the lines, Rockford said.
At this point, NAACP members were instructed to turn their clothing inside out, which they refused to do and said they werent going to stop their actions inside the polling place. Their behavior and actions to move people to the front of the line continued for the rest of the evening. Texas State Representative Sylvester Turner, a former Texas NAACP leader, was also seen outside the building talking with voters.
The NAACP basically ran this poll location and the judges did nothing about it, Rockford said.

Even worse than this particular form and location of voter influence ... which Holder explicitly insists is illegal only if you're white ... is the NAACP's participation. Obama has more blacks on food stamps (and out of work, IIRC) than any president in history; the NAACP should be 100% in favor of Romney if the (
kind of) welfare of "CP" is its goal.
Democrat Party is clearly the enemy of blacks and any other poor demographic (there are more whites than blacks on welfare) who want individually or collectively to succeed in moving up the economic ladder. SURELY no one here thinks not only paying, but actively encouraging the indigent to remain indigent

your racist attitude is duly noted. Gee when we have the worst economy in the history of america ever yes there will be an increase in poverty. Note the 1 percent over the same period of worst ecomomy in the history of the USA have made bank.
I have never seen such socially ignorant analogies ever.
Now for the other one posting the NAACP, if they were NRA people it would be fine to hand out water to people standing in lines reported to be about 3 hours to 7 hours in poor areas that are in right wing states. It is disgusting that people in poor areas have to stand in line for 3-7 hours where in right wing voting areas they have more machines and people to minimize lines. amazing in these racist states controlled by right wing type of vote Nazis.
The bradley foundation, a billionaire from WI was just outed for putting up huge billboards of vote intimidation billboards. These were placed only in poor areas and inferred it is violation of the law to vote... As we have seen the main vote fraud is by the well to do... The poor very rarely....

Now that you've tested your water, it's important to understand what the results mean for the health of your local water resources. Turbidity, pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen are indicators that help us understand what's happening in our waterways and they provide us with information on what needs to be done to improve water quality. For example, if you have found consistently high turbidity at your site a new riparian buffer could help. Low dissolved oxygen concentrations can be increased by reintroducing or adding structures that aid in creating turbulence. Low pH levels can be increased by restoring surrounding degraded wetlands. Learn more here.
From the products we use to the food we eat, the things we do every day have an impact on our water and the environment. Taking steps to understand that impact can help you identify and make simple changes to improve water quality and health. Levels of action can range from visual surveys, to litter pick-ups, to one-time habitat improvement projects. Find ways you can take action here.
Many communities have local organizations that are involved in efforts to improve water quality and health. They can be great allies in identifying ways to improve your local water resources. Visit EPA's National Directory of Volunteer Environmental Monitoring Programs to get started today.

Our Fitness Blog
Why Should You Exercise?
There are so many benefits to starting an exercise program. It is not just a way to help you lose weight, but a way to help keep your body, mind and soul in balance. It is never too late to start a fitness routine and to start enjoying the many benefits of being physically active. Here are just a few of the benefits that should motivate you to get up and get active.
- Exercise can boost your brain power. There have been many studies on the effect exercising has on brain power, and there seems to be mounting evidence that suggests what is good for our hearts may also be good for our minds. The increased blood flow and oxygen seem to have a positive effect on our concentration and reasoning skills. One study also found that older people who participated in physical activity at least three times a week were less likely to develop Alzheimer's.
- Exercise can lower your stress level. There are many reasons for this. First it lowers the levels of adrenaline and cortisol, the body's stress hormones. Then it causes your body to produce more endorphins, the body's feel-good chemicals. Also as you begin to lose weight, your self-image will improve. You will be proud of yourself for reaching your goals and sticking with your fitness routine.
- Exercise can give you more energy. It can be surprising how adding more physical activity into your life can make you more energized, but it is true. The endorphins that ease your stress can give you a feel good feeling that keeps you motivated throughout the day. You are also improving your strength and stamina with every workout you do making everyday chores seem less stressful on your body.
- Exercise can boost your immune system. Research has shown that exercise can help prevent heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, osteoporosis and even cancer. Exercising causes your body to produce antibodies, which can destroy harmful bacteria and viruses. Once they are produced they stay within your body until they are needed to fight off any infections. It seems as if there are not any major health problems that exercise can not effect positively.
There are so many reasons to exercise, but it seems as if we focus on losing weight as the main goal in our fitness routines. Maybe it is time to look past this reason and say we want to exercise to be healthy and to help maintain a balance in our hectic lives. We should all start to look past the outside and worry about what is on the inside.

eduki needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 102 designs submitted by 38 freelance designers.
SEO White Hats is currently a resource blog for Search Engine Optimization. White Hat (versus Black Hat) refers to tactics that are 'acceptable' to search engines (i.e. Google) as oppossed to 'unacceptable' tactics.
One thing I would like to see......can anyone work in a world map / globe in the '0' for SEO. I have seen a lot of detective magnifying classes to go with the hat, but I would like to see a reference to show people that we are looking for SEO across the worlld not just in the U.S. (I should have added this earlier).
SEO White Hats
The goal of the website is to expand into many different service offerings including Training Videos, Resource Directory, Job / Project Forum etc.
After logo design, we will be re-working the design of the site...I wanted to get logo design ideas first.
- Logo for SEO White Hats The design would ideally use the Blue, Navy Blue, and Red used on the current site.
Here are a few other sites we have to give you an idea of our current corporate look:
http://www.Volume9inc.com/ - Logo done through a 99 Design Contest
http://www.MarketVerticalPartners.com - Agency site
These sites use content from SEO White Hats......FYI...it would be great to have the logo / icon on these sites to promot the brand.
- Don't overdo the HAT concept too much.....
- Focus primarily on the logo, but the ability to fit into a banner, a new page design, or 3rd party icon will be a factor on what we choose.
Find out how a design contest works or learn more about our logo design services.

The British banking system has lately found itself engulfed in a storm of bad news, ranging from interest-rate scandals to technical glitches to money-laundering accusations, leaving a significant mark on confidence in the home banking sector.
A whopping 62% of the Brits don't trust the banks and more than a third admit they haven't trusted them since the U.K. slipped into recession, according to research published by Currencies.co.uk on Friday.
Recent controversies about the country's leading banks have fueled mistrust among the British population and 40% have started to move their business away from banks to peer-to-peer lending companies, personal loan providers and currency specialists, the study said.
The survey was conducted online.
"Undoubtedly we are seeing a change in the financial-services sector whereby dissatisfied customers are ditching their banks and it is encouraging that some people are wisely choosing specialists for transactions such as foreign exchange," said Stephen Hughes, director of Currencies.co.uk, in a press release.
This summer hasn't been great for U.K. banks when it comes to staying out of the bad news radar.
In late June, Royal Bank of Scotland Group PLC ended up in the limelight after a technical glitch left millions of customers without access to their money. Chief Executive Stephen Hester waived his annual bonus after the incident.
HSBC Holdings PLC and Standard Chartered PLC were also main characters in the British bank news flow over the summer after separate allegations of money laundering. The incidents ended up costing Standard Chartered a $340 million settlement, while HSBC in its recent earnings statement announced a provision of $700 million to cover potential fines related to money-laundering allegations.
In July, Barclays PLC claimed both public and market attention after Chief Executive Bob Diamond resigned on the back of an investigation into alleged manipulation of the London Interbank Offered Rate.
The Libor probe later expanded to include HSBC and RBS.
The Libor scandal didn't go down well with British bank clients and 30% of those surveyed stated that the rate-fixing-scandal alone affected their confidence in the banks. In addition, 59% of those surveyed said high bankers' bonuses lead to lower trust in the sector.
