Publicly traded Islamic bank Bank Asya's owners have launched 30 more cases to end the controversial May 29th seizure of the bank and February 3rd management takeover by regulators.
Representing Bank Asya's owners, lawyer Süleyman Taşbaş filed the cases at the Ankara Regional Administrative Court seeking to get a stay of execution against the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency's (BDDK) orders which led the Savings and Deposit Insurance Fund (TMSF) to first take over the bank's management on February 3rd and then banking operations of the lender on May 29th.
The total cases against the banking regulator has now reached 100 with the bank's lawyers demanding the return of the bank's operations and the management.
Bank Asya had long been subject to political attacks prior to the measures imposed by the BDDK, with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan even stating that the bank "had already failed" despite the fact that the publicly traded Islamic lender had one of the best capital adequacy ratios of the sector. Defamatory rumors published by pro-government press over the past year and a half have been challenged, yet remain unpunished.
Speaking to the press on Tuesday morning, Süleyman Taşbaş reiterated that the February 3rd takeover of the bank's management - on the grounds that it had disclosed insufficient information pertaining to its founding shareholders - was neither justifiable nor true.
"Bank Asya had achieved more transparency than the rest of the banking sector. We have stressed this fact over and over again and have made strong arguments against the issues underlined by the BDDK. Therefore we are hopeful of a positive outcome," he said. Taşbaş reiterated that the regulator had not been able to report any illegal activity by the bank, adding "there is no way to mask the illegal measures taken against the bank."
The February 3rd management takeover occurred when the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency only processed documentation corresponding to the ownership of 37 percent of the shares instead of the 53 percent which had been submitted. Even though more than 90 percent of the documents have since been completed and submitted, management still has not been handed back.
The May 29th seizure proved even more scandalous, with TMSF President Şakir Ercan Gül himself recognizing the bank's strong financials in a statement to a Turkish news station on June 1, "The bank's assets are positive. We will not be touching shares either belonging to the owners or those which are publicly traded."

Specifically -- Under Requirements: "Apache Ant Version 1.6.2" should be changed to "Apache Ant Version 1.6.2 or later". "Any JDK 1.4.2" should be changed to "Any JDK 1.4.2 or later". Similarly, step 1 in "To set up your environment..." should say "Install the JDK 1.4.2 or later implementation." A sixth step should be added to "To set up your environment...". It should say the following: On a UNIX system, make sure that your LANG environment variable is set to "en_US.UTF-8" rather than to "C" or "en_US.ISO8859-1".

The next step is to set some task goals
Task goals describes the task - what the child should be able to do - and states how well the task should be performed. Stating exactly how well the child should be able to perform a task (called task parameters) makes it easier to monitor progress.
Here are a few task goals as examples: the child will be able to:
- Dress self in the morning when cloths are set out, in 10 minutes without prompting.
- Sit erect and work at a table doing drawing or hand tasks for 15 minutes without fidgeting or supporting the head with one hand.
- Climb to the top of the slide in the park and slide down catching weight on the feet at the end of the slide.
- Climb the flight of stairs at school without holding onto the railing in 60 seconds.
- Hop down the passage (5 meters) on one leg.
- Do a handstand against the wall and stay up for 10 seconds.
- Run to the end of our street and back again (200 meters) in 2 minutes.
- Catch a soccer sized ball thrown to the left or right at waist height 15 out of 20 times.

The entire color range is awesome. I bought these particular spools pictured above at at a quilt show and I've kept them on my Bernina for inspiration. I just need to get a turquoise in the same size and they'll all be buddies.
The thread is lightweight and it has a silky, smooth feel to it. The ones on my machine are 50 wt., 2 ply spools. The thread is especially fabulous for piecing because the thread is fine yet strong. Therefore, you'll find that your seam isn't as bulky and scant seam allowances are no longer necessary. Also, there is little or no lint left behind when you sew with this thread.

Tamaki College is the best school. They are all good at acting and even good with the cameras. One direction is good at singing so I think that is why they did that song. My favourite was Uili and Antonio.
I really loved their dancing because they were giving it their best shot. The big Tamaki Boys were really funny because how they act and lip sync. Paul was the person I liked out of Tamaki. He didn't just dance, he walked and dance.
After that 3 years later, I thought that there won't be any one because they were already old. Nek Minute it was really funny. Five men dancing were really funny. I noticed something at the end. Every single person looks just the same but older.
The scores I'm going to give them is 10 stars out of 10. It was really exciting. One Direction is the BEST!!!

This is the final post in a 4-week series that focuses on advice, tips and tricks from long-time freelancer, Andy Haynes. Andy shares some of his biggest mistakes made during his first year freelancing to help other freelancers navigate their first year with success.
About half-way through my first year as a freelancer I had a number of regular clients and was using a productivity software tool to help me manage my activity. But I still struggled to keep on top of all the work.
Disaster struck when I secured two new clients in the same week. Normally that would have been great news, but now I found myself flirting with missed deadlines. My productivity system was helping, but I still felt too disorganized and overwhelmed.
I had an idea in my head of what needed to be done each week. But once I set to work I was constantly derailed by new, unforeseen demands on my time. Clients were calling with requests for me to help with headlines, suggestions on topic ideas, and to see if I knew someone who could help them with illustrations. All kinds of stuff.
Dealing with these requests, which were great relationship building activities, was keeping me from the writing that needed to get done. After working through the weekend and still almost missing a deadline, I knew I'd reached a crisis point.
I couldn't keep everyone happy. And I wasn't sure what to do about it.
To find a way out of my dilemma, I spoke with Michael Sliwinski, founder of Nozbe, and my go-to productivity expert.
The keys to ending time-sucking activities
Michael has always had a passion for productivity, and he was able to share with me his keys to getting out of the activity trap and becoming more effective and productive.
For Michael, the first key to getting ahead of your work is to prioritize.
As Michael told me, "I was a solopreneur for a long time. I learned it was crucial to start each week by taking some time to set goals and plan your activities for each day." He pointed out that you have to realize that all things aren't of equal value to your business. There are tasks that generate revenue, that market you, that are critical to being a freelancer. And then there are things you think you should do, but really are of lower value—like dealing with unexpected requests for your help.
The things you think you should do can be dangerous because they are sometimes camouflaged as revenue generators. Who wouldn't want to help a potential client who had a question about how to position themselves with a new prospect, or do a quick consult on a branding question? Adding value like that can often lead to deeper relationships and more client work down the road.
But how do you balance activities that might pay-off down-the-road versus the tasks that need to be completed for today's clients?
According to Michael, the key is to set weekly goals, daily activity plans, and use them to prioritize.
When you prioritize the important tasks you set a standard by which you can judge the importance of unforeseen requests. The goals you set at the beginning of the week remind you what is important—what makes money, what helps a client. If a new task isn't more important than the things you'd plan to do, put it aside until your priorities have been completed.
The last word
On Michael's advice I started setting goals at the beginning of each week. I planned what I needed to accomplish each day in terms of writing output, how much time I was going to spend on which marketing activities, and how much time needed to be spent on the nuts and bolts of running the business—the admin and other unhappy tasks.
It paid off right away. In that first week I had a half-dozen articles on the go for different clients, but then the emails started rolling in. Someone invited me to a networking event. I was asked for a referral for an old client. Somebody needed a testimonial. And a business owner who may become a client down the road wanted to talk.
In the old days I would have stopped writing for my current clients to deal with each new request. I would have ended up struggling to hit my deadlines.
But now I was able to evaluate each request against my priorities for the week. None of these requests were as immediately important to my business as the articles I was working on—so, I got back to each contact with an explanation and a plan for when I could help them.
At the end of the week, I was surprised to find I not only got all my work finished, but I was also able to deal with some of the new requests. All my clients were happy, and I still had my sanity.

Melania Trump: The Illuminati's Sex Slave Gift to the Donald
Since the Donald has sold out his devoted followers, we are going to speak honestly about someone very special to him, his wife Melania. We haven't said much about her despite having a great deal of material from our sources (people are saying...). However, we need to put this out there and let everybody know that Melania is no ordinary Eastern European immigrant but rather an Illuminati sex slave bought and paid for in gold.
The Illuminati's most powerful members crave comfort women by the dozens, and they desperately need these encounters to be discreet. In other words, American and Western European girls will not suffice. The risk is too great that one will blow the whistle and reveal too much. On the other hand, women from Eastern Europe are a far better alternative. They grew up poor and in great need of opportunities. That is where the Illuminati comes in. The order dispatches its agents throughout the European countryside scouting for vulnerable yet attractive women. Once found, the women receive invitations to Paris or some other metro area to audition as "models". After a day in the salons and boutiques, they are brought to a meet and greet with Illuminati members. Those that agree to perform sexual acts are granted the next opportunity, Those that do not are cut and sent home. For the women that are selected, the Illuminati whisks them away while providing their families with gold and hard currency, enough to start over in a developed country.
Our source in New York reported that Melania was one of these women and that Donald Trump had selected her. At first, she was to reside in a New York penthouse and be on call for sex whenever the Donald wanted it. She could spend the rest of her time doing what she wanted as long as it did not involve sex with another man or woman. Eventually, Donald found himself increasingly attached to Melania or just really pleasured (these women are also judged on their sexual abilities). Our New York source indicated that it had to do more with the pleasure part for Trump. And in a shocking turn of events, he married his comfort girl. The Illuminati became flabbergasted at this. Illuminati members took women for wives who also had been initiated into the order, not whores bought in the Eastern European backwoods.
Nevertheless, Trump did not care. Melania was his gift to do with as he pleased, even if that meant marrying her. The fact that Melania is property was obvious during her big GOP Convention speech. She talked as if she was afraid to say anything. This is a woman who does not speak for fear of reprisal from her Illuminati husband. That is why Trump spoke out against the wife in the Gold Star family. He is so accustomed to viewing quiet women as property to the point where he can view them as nothing else.
In short, Melania was gifted to Trump by the Illuminati and is his property. In the eyes of the law, she may be a free woman, but according to the law of the secret order, she is a commodity.
And this is the truth, Believe Me...

TRUMP IS A ELITE ILLUMINATI KISSASS!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousNovember 26, 2016 at 3:43 AM
Very interesting viewpoints. Very interested in the details, or any assumptions surrounding the details and how this ties into the greater story at large.ReplyDelete
Here are a few.
1. Who are the contractors that round up the sex slaves? Are they subcontractors to the illuminati, or controlled by the illuminati?
2. Are the women put through any brainwashing programs, like the ones seen in Manchurian candidate? Are they trained to make men feel both sexually aroused and emotionally in love, or is it purely sex?
3. Is it possible that the women, Melania in particular, could be planted moles to organizations who are against the illuminati? (Triple agent?) Such as the shapeshifting, lizard people.
4. If Melania is a shapeshiftian, huminoid, alien reptile, than would that make their children at least part shapeshifters as well.
Thank you for a great article and for spreading truth.
It should be obvious to anyone with half a brain, that she is commie double agent. Give yourself a break, and get a brain transplant! Seriously. You need help more than the average american.ReplyDelete

Ashton Kutcher's latest producing venture, a television show called The Beautiful Life, starring Mischa Barton and Elle Macpherson, was filming in the garden behind the Italian restaurant Barolo in Soho on a recent humid morning. A swarm of twentysomething guys wearing shorts and T-shirts and complicated sneakers were tending to lights and dishes and endless reels of electrical cord. Floppy-haired Kutcher could easily pass for one of them, though he is clearly something elseand not just because he pulled up in a chauffeured SUV with darkened windows and a modest entourage. He's way better-looking than everyone hereway better-looking, in fact, than most people full stopwhich might explain why his TV shows are so often concerned with the meaning and implications of being hot. There was Beauty and the Geek, which paired babes with nerds, and then True Beauty, in which contestants mistakenly thought they were in a pageant (the camera was secretly recording their treatment of one another in an effort to ascertain their inner beauty, or lack thereof). And now this: a drama about the lives of young models that will debut on the CW this week. I'm always interested in aesthetic misconceptions, Kutcher says. On one wrist, he wears wooden prayer beads kitted out with a diamanté Star of David charm and a red Kabbalah thread. It doesn't matter what someone looks like, or how smart someone is, says Kutcher, everybody has an insecurity. So what is his? I struggle with constantly feeling like I have to get what's out there because I don't feel like what's in here is enough, he says, clutching his chest. I find myself chasing external things, such as success, or trying to find a really great wine, or trying to meet somebody I don't know, or making a business deal I don't already have. It's a constant pursuit of the external that's probably built on an insecurity that what's inside isn't enough.
The chasing, whatever its origins, has resulted in a lot of external payback: Kutcher quit modeling just as he was making itI was trying to entertain, he says, and they always wanted brooding. It was counterproductive. He wanted to act, and, presto, he was starring on That '70s Show, and then in mostly undistinguished movies like Dude, Where's My Car? But! I'm not a great actor, he admits. I don't fool myself to think that I am. Most of the work that I get is through having really good relationships with people and being dependable.
So he began producing, starting with Punk'd. (A human observation of people protecting their egos, he says.) And what followed has all been part of a larger karmic adventure. The things that I've been most successful at in my life are when I set out in pursuit of making someone else successful, says Kutcher, who, in marrying Demi Moore, also succeeded in becoming one half of an intensely famous couple. Karma does exist, and if you think about it, it's actually Newtonian physics. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The very moment that you give you receive.
Does this have anything to do with the red thread on his wrist? I do study a lot of the teachings of Kabbalah. I read stuff. I read a lot. When I read Siddhartha, it moved me spiritually. I was like, Wow. So I can work, I can fast, and I can wait. I get that. And I read a book by John Wooden, the coach of the UCLA Bruins, ten-time national champions. I study his philosophies and go, Wow, that makes sense.' I read Phil Jackson, Malcolm Gladwell. That is the study of a Kabbalistyou study the world, you study everything.
A publicist cuts inKutcher has exceeded his twenty-minute time limit for an interview. We all have to put each other in check, he concludes. Otherwise, people start to become delusional about who they are and what they are and what they're contributing to the world.

OSWEGO, NY – An Oswego Middle School classroom has become a work of art.
Walk into the majority of school classrooms and you will see the institutional white drop ceilings.
However, Oswego Middle School teacher Suzanne Fox wanted something more for the students who reside daily in her classroom.
The result was nothing sort of spectacular.
She wanted to bring a little life to the classroom atmosphere and talked to art teacher Erin Platten.
Fox said, "I had seen the work of Mrs. Plattens' students in another teacher's classroom. I approached her about an entire ceiling mural for my classroom. We worked out the plan to create Monet's 'Waterlillies,' which is my personal, all-time favorite painting."
Continuing she said, "Slowly, as the tiles from my ceiling were removed as plain white blocks, they were replaced with a beautiful array of color. Students, at first, could not distinguish direct images, but as the mural progressed, it became not only recognizable, but a source of anticipation for them as to when the next section would be completed. Now, everyone who enters the room, both adult and student, immediately stops and is in awe of the beautiful and vibrant colors of our ceiling mural. Math and art are intertwined through the work of the OMS students."
Platten discussed the project with her students and they were quite excited over the prospect of leaving this type of legacy at OMS.
Platten took a photo of Monet's work.
She said, "I then sent it to our district printer Mike Brown who printed it and modified it so my students could commence the project. Each one of the students had to be focused and everyone had to work as a team. Cooperation was necessary so there were no duplications of tiles."
The art teacher said, "Claude Monet noticed the village of Giverny while looking out a train window. He made up his mind to move there and rented a house and the area surrounding it. In 1890 he had enough money to buy the house and land outright and set out to create the magnificent gardens he wanted to paint. Some of his most famous painting such as his water lily and Japanese bridge paintings were of his garden in Giverny. This was a very exciting piece to do. "
The project started in early November and was completed by Thanksgiving break.
Throughout the effort, the students remained excited and focused.
Students in the four eighth grade art classes involved in the creation included Jonathan Wall, Kellie Gorman, Morgan Kosbob, Johnna Tombolillo, Mercedes Whiteside, McKenna Bahner, Michael Carpenter, Chris Chalifoux, Sage Dudley, Ben McCrobie, Matt Lewis, Karl Mosbo, Josh Talamo, Anne Burkett, Robert Schirm II, Kaira Benway, Travis Johnson, Tabitha Madison, Hannah Broadwell, Kaylee Baldwin, Dylan Coleman, Meghan Hourigan, Michael Middleton, Bill Russ, Cheyenne Sanchez, Devin Higgins, Andrew Hook, Tyler Coady, Adam Thompson, Ben Whelsky, Alyssa Laskevicz, Luke Levine, Edward Haynes, Brenna Riley, Liam Peterson, Zachary Gillard, Alexis Bivens, Erin Delaney, Mayraliz Lopez, Taylor Montgomery, Debby Moyett Jaime, Austin Bachelor, Grace Gilbert, Jared Jaquin, Brianna McIntosh, Matt Rodgers, Andrew Osetek, Chris Barlow, Nick Hulbert, Cheyenne Winslow, Sydney Law, Tyler Courtney, Rana Al-Salameh, Mason McGann, Josh Bucher, Mariel Schickling, Alexis Sheridan, Rebecca Victory, Katelin Ballard, Braeden Livesey, Jacob Lofthouse, Michael Favata, Collin Ballou, Austin Levine, Meghan Anderson, Lauren Wallace and Eddie Sheridan.
Platten was dedicated to the project and after her students had completed their pieces she took it upon herself to install each and every tile.
She said, "For the three weeks I was here Friday night until 11 o'clock and back up at six in the morning on Saturday to be back here to work some more. I really wanted to get this in place as it was a great effort by my students."
Principal Bonnie Finnerty was excited over the successful completion of the project.
She said, "We are very excited to be able to showcase the many talents exhibited by OMS students. They have added value and beauty to our school. A special 'thank you' to Mrs. Platten's and Mrs. Shannon's art classes for your hard work and commitment to detail."
Creativity has brought a completely different atmosphere to a classroom at the Oswego Middle School thanks to the efforts of art teacher Platten and her students.

At Fitgers in Duluth Mn. tomorrow! I think they are going to do the polar plunge also! Lake Superior Brewing will be serving up their Bock, and there is a fire going in which they have a hot poker for a caramelizing of your pint of bock! Sneezles61
Are you jumping? It's a rush!
Aint gonna happen.... Sneezles61
Ah come on you might like it.
No need for that kind of excitement... for me anyway... Sneezles61
I've done the local one here three times. Pregame ritual = 3 shots of Fireball!  Not much ice this year so we had to run in.
What does that taste like? Have you had it?
Oh yes, as many as I can. I like the way the caramelizes sugars add the velvet texture to the Splitrock bock brew. My parallel to that, is cask conditioned IPA.... very smooth, creamy! WMNoob, well its all rock here, and running in is not too good an option. OUCH! I'll try get some pictures... Sneezles61

Via PF Post Here.
3. Imagined too, I think:-
@ http://www.olexi.co.uk/news-updates/the-rumored-pentax-k-01-mirrorless/
4. Look Real and should be Leaked:-
Via the Chinese Xitek Forum, Credit by OGL at My Blog.
It is rumoured that the K-01 will soon be announced on Feb. 2, together with the world's thinnest APS-C prime, the 40/2.8 XS, which probably to be the kit lens of the K-01. But also mind you that the K-01 is probably the world's thickest mirrorless ILDC btw! :-o

Saturday Book Group
This non-fiction group is open to women and men. Each book is chosen by consensus and is read by all members over a period of 6-12 consecutive weeks for each book, one or two chapters a week. There is no leader. All members participate in the discussion. This arrangement has worked well since 2002. For any questions, contact Ed Klemmer, preferably by email.
Current book: As of February 2017, the group is reading We the People by Juan Williams. Contact Ed Klemmer to find what chapter they are discussing now.
"It is a very active group whose members not only show up every Saturday but all of whom read the book and participate in a very lively discussion. There is no leader. The group has both CUCC members and friends who share their interests. The books studied by the group vary from atheists such as Sam Harris and Richard Dawkins, through important secular books about science, war, economics and philosophy to religious writings such as Karen Armstrong, Peter Gomes and Marcus Borg." - Ed Klemmer

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wonder how babies can get away with all this crap. It's this week in baby links I love!
- I'm no fan of McDonald's, but this new commercial posted on Adland got me. Now I want to take my baby for a drive and get some French fries. Dangit!
- I discovered via Shine! that BabyCenter is asking moms to send in pictures of their boobs. Breastfeeding boobs and post-pregnancy boobs, so we can all get a look at what "real" boobs look like as we nurse our babies and wonder what the hell happened to the bounce. Will you give a boob to the cause?
- Making some very good points is Great Moments in Christory with his list of 10 things newborns can get away with that you wish we could too. Farting in public? Yep.
- The Lil Bee tells baby Devon how she got her name. Get the hankies out.

HUBweek ups the creative ante with a full-on, Boston-wide multimedia extravaganza.
Flashing lights: Last year's inaugural HUBweek saw more than 10,000 stop by the preview party for ILLUMINUS, a showcase of contemporary artists who work with light, sound, and projections.
Wait till you hear what HUBweek has in store for Bostonians this year. That's what founder Linda Henry and her team have promised since the multimedia festival— which focuses on innovation in the arts, science, and technology—blasted on to the scene twelve months ago.
A civic collaboration between the Boston Globe, Harvard University, MIT, and Massachusetts General Hospital, the annual week-long celebration of Boston's creative and innovation economies is primed to take over the city from September 25 through October 1. Before it does, Henry gives us the lowdown on three can't-miss events.
De-Stress Boston "This event features a number of different components—music, yoga, and other stress-busting techniques— aimed at helping individuals reduce anxiety." September 25 at Yawkey Center lobby, Massachusetts General Hospital, 55 Fruit St.
Faneuil Forum "This event will take place right before the first general election debate. Rather than feature panelists this year, we're turning the mic over to the audience. It's important to get the public engaged in the conversation." September 26 at Faneuil Hall, 1 Faneuil Hall Sq.
GlobeDocs Film Festival "The film festival events feature screenings and post-film panels, which include the filmmakers plus critics and experts, that explore the issues presented in each film. Both the opening and closing evenings feature post-film parties." Multiple times and locations, including September 25 at Fenway Park

Well, Thoughts started flowing after reading a discussion about a amazing retail chain business which listed recently.
Why a company gets 100 PE?
Let me reserve copy rights of 100PEEliteClub™, PEPie™ & Greatness-Factor™ first.
Greatness-Factor™ might be well written and researched. Will talk later.
Why a company gets 100 PE? It has to have Greatness-Factor™ first.
Can we think in this way:
A Segment gets 100 PE based on opportunity size, tailwinds and sustainability in foreseeable future.
A pioneer, first mover, trend setter and leader is the segment will get entire pie of 100 PE.
This will attract competition. A copycat replicates the model or try to.
So, Now 2 such business will divide PEPie™, and will trade on 50PE.
This will attract more competition.
So, Now 4 such quality business will divide PEPie™, and will trade on 25PE.
This will attract more competition. and then, Segment equity will dilute, will have rat-cat fight, throat cutting competition, degradation in quality, derating and finally start of Consolidation phase.
Much more. Look around Telecom, Infra and so on.

Anyway this cake I actually made at the start of the month for my best friend's birthday and only finally getting around the uploading it now. This cake was for Sarah, judging by the cake you may think she is no more than 8? Think again! We're both 25 and have just celebrated out tenth year of friendship (yes we're sad and count). One of our many childish obsessions, of which there are many, one of our favourites is the film 'Despicable Me'. I've made her a lot of fancy cakes in the past so this year I decided to totally regress.
The cake itself is made with a Victoria sponge filled with pink buttercream, what else? Once filled and dirty iced I then covered it with lilac icing that I coloured with Sugarflair's Grape Violet colouring paste.
Right so for the detail on the top, normally I use stencils to get a perfect shape but I completely forgot to print them off so went for it freehand, and somehow it worked out alright actually! I decided to make one of the 'minions' - our favourite characters. It was actually pretty difficult to get it right but I especially love the eyes and mouth. I really didn't want to overdo the top so I just added a '25' and a couple of heart as the rest of the focus was going to go on the sides...
The sides! I decided to go old school with this, drawing on memories from my mum's rainbow cake (more on that another time) and absolutely cake the sides (did you see what I did there?) in Smarties! And when I say Smarties, I mean about 7 or 8 tubes worth, but I love the effect so it was all worth it!
She loved the cake, yay! And I'm already planning on what to make her for next year, the possibilities are endless!

Just a quick little public service announcement for you human readers! This is Poison Ivy. Don't touch it!
It's a shiny three-leaflet leaf,
reddish when they are first emerging,
growing on hairy vines.
Straight up from the ground, across the ground, up anything vertical.
It's the oil on all of the plant parts–even the roots–that causes blistering on skin.
Hope this helps someone stay itch-free this summer!

Taking as his point of departure the story of Rip Van Winkle, who, having slept for twenty years, awakens to a world he hardly recognizes, Martin Luther King Jr. develops the analogy in his speech, "Remaining Awake Through a Great Revolution," to speak to contemporary issues of his day—issues still alive and well in our day. The important point about Rip Van Winkle was not that he slept for two decades but that he slept, as King puts it, "through a revolution." When Van Winkle had ascended the mountain for his rest, he saw a picture of King George III. When he awoke twenty years later, the picture he saw upon his descent was not a monarch's but rather George Washington's. During his twenty-year "nap," Rip Van Winkle was unaware of the significant social, political, economic, religious and cultural changes that had occurred.
Having captivated our attention with his sleeping metaphor, King begins to improvise on his theme.
There are all too many people who, in some great period of social change, fail to achieve the new mental outlooks that the new situation demands. There is nothing more tragic than to sleep through a revolution. There can be no gainsaying of the fact that a great revolution is taking place in our world today. It is a social revolution, sweeping away the old order of colonialism. And in our own nation it is sweeping away the old order of slavery and racial segregation. The wind of change is blowing, and we see in our day and our age a significant development. Victor Hugo said on one occasion that there is nothing more powerful in all the world than an idea whose time has come. In a real sense, the idea whose time has come today is the idea of freedom and human dignity. Wherever men are assembled today, the cry is always the same, "We want to be free." And so we see in our own world a revolution of rising expectations. The great challenge facing every individual graduating today is to remain awake through this social revolution.
King then comments on how one can avoid the Rip Van Winkle syndrome and thus be attuned to pressing social and political issues and concerns. First, King encourages us to strive to "achieve a world perspective." For those who believe "that we can live in isolation" and "live without being concerned about other individuals and other nations is sleeping through a revolution. The world in which we live is geographically one. The great challenge now is to make it one in terms of brotherhood." In other words, King argues against social atomism and individualism which promotes one's own self-interest above all else. In place of radical individualism, which as many political theorists and critics of classical liberal democracy have pointed out (Marxists, feminists, communitarians, critical race theorists), leads to alienation, oppression, and exploitation, King calls for solidarity and a concern for humans qua humans. None of this suggests that King is advocating for a post-racial society where we deny difference. Rather, he sees that in order to fight for justice, human rights, and the like, there must be some common bond, some unity that connects us and yet allows difference to manifest and even be celebrated. In other words, I see in King a desire to hold unity and difference in tension rather than to exalt one over the other. Listen in the following passage to King's way of putting it:
all mankind is tied together; all life is interrelated, and we are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. For some strange reason I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. And you can never be what you ought to be until I am what I ought to be – this is the interrelated structure of reality. John Donne caught it years ago and placed it in graphic terms: No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main […] And then he goes on toward the end to say: any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee. And by believing this, by living out this fact, we will be able to remain awake through a great revolution.
King's second point is that we must work unceasingly and passionately to uproot and eradicate racial injustice in all its forms, personal or societal/structural. Having noted a number of positive strides in the fight for racial equality—"the Supreme Court's decision outlawing segregation in the public schools, a comprehensive Civil Rights Bill in 1964" and so forth, King makes clear that these advances are only a beginning and that significant work remains to be done. Although there has been much success on legal fronts with respect to segregation laws, nonetheless, socio-political and economic issues continued to enslave American blacks (of King's day and in our day as well.) For example, as King explains,
The Negro is still at the bottom of the economic ladder. He finds himself perishing on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. Millions of Negroes are still housed in unendurable slums; millions of Negroes are still forced to attend totally inadequate and substandard schools. And we still see, in certain sections of our country, violence and man's inhumanity to man in the most tragic way. All of these things remind us that we have a long, long way to go. For inAlabamaandMississippi, violence and murder where civil rights workers are concerned, are popular and favorite pastimes.
Racial injustice, as King reminds us, is not something that will simply work itself out in due time. Rather, it is something toward which we—black, white, brown, etc.—must labor. I conclude my brief commentary on King's speech with a final passage, a passage that I find both powerful and unsettling. Why unsettling? Because like Rip Van Winkle I have a tendency to choose to sleep rather than remain awake during the revolution.
It may well be that we will have to repent in this generation, not merely for the vitriolic works and violent actions of the bad people who bomb a church in Birmingham, Alabama, or shoot down a civil rights worker in Selma, but for the appalling silence and indifference of the good people who sit around and say, 'Wait on time.' Somewhere we must come to see that human progress never rolls in on wheels of inevitability. It comes through the tireless efforts and the persistent work of dedicated individuals. Without this hard work, time becomes an ally of the primitive forces of social stagnation. So we must help time and realize that the time is always right to do right.
As you reflect on Dr. King's words, I ask you to consider taking a concrete step to help an African American friend of mine, Michael X. Smith, (with whom I am have been corresponding for over two years) who is serving a life-sentence in prison for a crime of which he claims innocence. Please take a few minutes to read his story and, if you are so moved, to sign his petition for a retrial.

Four ways to focus on the new you before New Years
Four ways to focus on the new you before New Years
By Blackcoaches.net
The Fresh Start Women's Foundation (FSW) of Phoenix wanted to give women an edge in their quest to find new careers. They wanted to go beyond job placement and help women get fulfillment from their work. They partnered with Goodwill of Central Arizona to create a program that empowered women to take control of their job searches. Goodwill helps in job placement, and FSW helps in personal development. The end result is goal-centric women ready to work hard and build a better future.
Becoming the master of your own circumstances takes focus. It also takes clarity and a bit of stoicism to recognize what you want to change about your life. Discipline will give you the follow-through. You need to focus on changing the parts of your life that cause you the most pain, and work towards changing those. Once you have embraced success, you must make failure not only impossible but unbearable. Motivate yourself by seeing the potential in what you do.
Focus on the biggest issue
When you stop and think about it, there are issues competing for our attention all day long. Will my marriage or my relationship work out? What about my job? What if I don't save enough for retirement? All of these are valid questions, but they are goals you need to work out one at a time.
When your objective becomes losing weight, don't shift your attention to your salary. Find the biggest source of misery in your life and eliminate it. If that's your job, change it. I'm not saying quit your job, I'm saying work toward doing what you want to do. Starting with smaller trails like Hyrogliphics Canyon off 60 E, a roughly 3 mile hike up a gradual slope, you can work your way up to a half day hike. Havasupai in the South Rim of the Grand Canyon is a 20 mile hike that takes about six hours to complete, but by the end you'll have seen a series of waterfalls and colors you'll never forget and conquered a few mountains along the way.
Self-control is not what you think it is
When we think about curbing our vices, we tell ourselves to exercise some self-control. This is a false notion. What is self control if we are not even aware of what most of our brain is doing? Think about it. When you can tell me why we dream, or what déjà vu is all about then we'll talk about self-control. Until then, you have to re-cognize your boundaries. One way to start is by building habits that are consistent and easy to do. Maybe you get up in the morning and immediately jump in the shower, maybe you go for a walk outside, whatever it is do something small and easy to repeat.
Self control is also a form of mental fortitude, and we use it every time wander places like the Paradise Valley mall and resist indulging in a spend-a-thon. But it's proactive, and it can help us do great things if we put it to work.
It's this mental fortitude that motivates and keep us grounded before we even leave the house
Make failure impossible
What if you moved to China and you couldn't order food? How would you survive? That part of you that says you don't know, but believes you just will, is the part of you that makes failure impossible. Figure out how to work on the smaller goals in your life as you reach toward your larger strides. Want to get paid more, and build websites? Freelance as a coder or slice websites. Want to lose weight? Eat smaller portions and spend less on food. Figure out a system to ration out your money, but plan for rewards to lessen the blow.
Don't neglect your life either. Failure extends to your marriage and you should treat your wife with the respect she deserves. Send her fresh flowers just because, or come home and cook dinner instead of waiting for her to do so. Those small gestures tell her you care and get her excited to see what you can do in the kitchen.
Make failure painful
Maneesh Sethi supposedly hired a woman to slap him when he wasn't working. You don't need to go to that extreme, but the lesson is that failure has to be something that you feel. It helps motivate you when you know what's at stake. A lack of focus is bad for business, and it's bad for you. Don't get lost in depression and aimlessness; create real consequences for your failure in order to keep yourself motivated.

All the above problems can be solved with the Flexi-Bar. Coordination under sensomotora this concept refers to the coordination of different control processes. Movements that can be performed from the highest level, the brain, at the beginning only automate progressively. Intermuscular coordination, i.e. harmony between different muscle groups, is improved. At the same time optimises collaboration between player and opponent of a movement. The movement becomes therefore more harmonious, effective and economical. Strengthening of the connective tissue connective tissue can be any kind of supportive tissue this tissue is not only superficial, but it can also be profound.
The capsules of the joints and ligaments are composed of connective tissue. A training to strengthen muscles, such as for example using the Flexi-Bar, strengthens the connective tissue. The cause of this is inter alia a better oxygen supply and a better evacuation of homotoxinas. Why the tissue can regenerate clearly more faster and better. Improvement of body posture the Flexi-Bar allows you to very quickly make this weekend.
There is not just another training device that can address so selectively to the responsible muscle group for optimal and upright posture. This is mainly due to the muscles that pull the waist shoulder girdle down, as for example the ascending portion of the trapezius muscle, they have almost never been able to be reached by conventional training apparatuses. This also explains, why even athletes and athletes not only have a bad body posture and back problems. But not only below scapulae muscles but also the muscles between the scapulae is worked by quickly raising its tension. Once these muscle endurance and performance raise, bad posture in stressful situations can be remedied. At the same time a strengthening of the major muscles in the spinal area is reached the neck, which must be willing to compensate through tensions the head about 6 kg weight approximately. Several exercises with the Flexi-Bar also strengthen the rotator cuff of the shoulder. External shoulder rotators do not work or work very little with other training devices, what it takes to encourage more the internal rotation of the shoulder which in turn may produce a bad body posture. Another important aspect to good posture is a strong abdominal muscles. Above all the internal oblique abdominal muscles favor a flat abdomen, resulting in a positive effect on the position of the hip. Elevation of metabolism not only during training with the Flexi-Bar we burn calories, if we raise our metabolic rate, isn't to say 2 to 3 times per week, upwards. In other words this means that we also burn more calories while at rest. In the long term this is the only sensible way to reduce body fat. Do as explained this elevation of the? basal metabolism? This training increases and broad structure cell, also known as mitochondria, which are responsible for the metabolism. Mitochondria can compare with ovens. If we have more quantity if they are larger, metabolism can operate quite faster and better.

Open link to play Casino IPAD : Royal Planet Casino
- Ipad Casino can be separated from all other electronic devices that are currently available in the market. It can be argued that iPad casinos look more or less to mp3 players, in terms of the basic function they tend to perform; There is no denying the fact that Ipad Casinos are very close to them, if they are considered and compared with the many proportions provided by them.
- New trends in online Ipad Casino gaming It is very important to note that during this transformative period of mobile gaming, there are many interesting trends that make it possible to observe the different ways players themselves adapt to this new form of online Ipad Casino gaming technology. Initially, it was a reason why players decided to use online Ipad Casinos, and it was the fact that they were unable to travel to a land based Ipad Casino to play.
- The ability to play on a online Ipad Casino from your own home, using your PC with an internet connection was an experience people welcomed. It was 10 years ago now, and players' habits have moved slowly but surely towards mobile phones and tablets, as the rest of their lives have adapted to mobile forms in one way or another.
- We have a new generation of people who live a lifestyle that dedicates a lot of time to travel to and from work, and the use of mobile devices for entertainment skating in the clouds as a direct result. It is also interesting to note that in some households, the use of tablets and mobile phones has completely taken care of the desktop computers, mostly because the use of these households only uses these devices for social media, webshopping and easy entertainment.
- Online Ipad Casinos for Android and Windows tablets Currently, around 10% and 20% of online Ipad Casinos offer mobile versions of their Ipad Casinos to their players. Operators have designed games that will work on specific platforms like Android and Windows tablets, because at the time these were the most commonly used tablets. This is the same way that online Ipad Casinos first launched their desktop desktop software using windows-operated systems as opposed to Mac OS, solely because more players used computers with the Windows variant instead of using Mac's.
- Online Ipad Casinos for iPad and iOS devices What's a bit funny is that online Ipad Casino operators still do not offer versions of their games for desktop Mac machines, but still offer games for iPad and other iOS devices. Although the system is different, it shows that software developers really understood the importance of developing a software for the mobile market. It is worth noting that until now there have been far fewer Mac users than PC users. On the other hand, these days, iPad is one of the most popular tablet forms around the globe - and developers can no longer ignore iOS users.

Whiteline Anti Roll Bar - Front/Rear Alloy Lateral Lock 18mm
Part Number: KLL118
This product can be used with any car or engine, although additional items may need to accompany it.
17-18mm alloy lateral lock kit - prevents lateral sway bar movement - suits OE & a/market bars
To suit 18mm diameter Anti Roll Bars - the DIY (Do It Yourself) alloy lateral locking system can be utilized on both factory and more importantly aftermarket Anti Roll Bars. The locks are easily installed on car with no need to remove the Anti Roll Bar to install . They are mounted directly next to the Anti Roll Bar mounting points and prevent shifting or sideways movement of the Anti Roll Bar under lateral (cornering) loads. This results in improved Anti Roll Bar effectiveness whilst preventing fouling of the Anti Roll Bar on near by chassis and steering components.
Whiteline Anti Roll Bars (Sway Bars) dramatically improve the grip, handling and performance of your vehicle. Cornering loads are spread more evenly across the tyres delivering more grip and frankly, that's what it's all about. You also get improved tyre wear as your tyres stay flatter and more upright. Comfort improves because your car sits flatter through bends meaning less movement inside the vehicle.
Whiteline Anti Roll Bars are manufactured using the finest grade Australian spring steel. They are powder coated and supplied with high performance synthetic elastomer mounting bushes in a DIY kit form, ready to simply bolt on.
As the name suggests their objective is to reduce sway, or body roll, and stabilise a vehicle under lateral (cornering) forces. Formula 1 cars still use Anti Roll Bars along side the shocks and springs as it is the ONLY suspension component principally designed to control body roll.
Unfortunately, many aftermarket spring manufacturers still design their lowered springs too hard, trying to control body roll when it's the Anti Roll Bar's job.

Kurt Vonnegut
Years ago when I was a producer in television, I recall that there were many discussions on how broadcasters could encourage younger viewers to have brand loyalty with a particular channel. The proposed idea was that if a broadcaster could successfully capture (strange choice of word, I know) a young audience then they were building the consumers of their future output. A rather obvious idea but one that appeared to work—well, at least for me, as I still look with particularly fondness on those shows that illuminated my childhood, and by association the broadcaster. The holy grail here was considered to be quality returnable series and quirky presenters with whom the young 'uns could identify and grow up with.
I have been told publishers have similar discussions on inculcating brand loyalty through their authors. So you would think, therefore, that when a group of teenagers were set a project by their school teacher encouraging them to write a letter to their favorite author, that these chosen writers would leap at the chance to win over their future readers. Well apparently not, as one class of pupils at Xavier High School in New York found out in 2006, when their teacher (Ms. Lockwood) set this task, and letters were sent out to a variety of authors, with only one writer taking the time to reply.
Perhaps it will come as no surprise that it was the great pessimistic humanist Kurt Vonnegut who was the only author to write back. Who the others were, I don't know, but I wonder if they're still popular with readers at Xavier High? Anyway, Vonnegut took the time to read the letter, which asked requested that he make a personal appearance at Xavier. Vonnegut was then 84, "an old geezer" as he called himself, and demurred visiting the school. However, he did offer the five students and their teacher some fine advice on how best to experience life and to grow their souls. It's a beautiful letter, giving some of the most inspiring advice any high school student could ask for.
November 5, 2006
Dear Xavier High School, and Ms. Lockwood, and Messrs Perin, McFeely, Batten, Maurer and Congiusta:
I thank you for your friendly letters. You sure know how to cheer up a really old geezer (84) in his sunset years. I don't make public appearances any more because I now resemble nothing so much as an iguana.
What I had to say to you, moreover, would not take long, to wit: Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what's inside you, to make your soul grow.
Seriously! I mean starting right now, do art and do it for the rest of your lives. Draw a funny or nice picture of Ms. Lockwood, and give it to her. Dance home after school, and sing in the shower and on and on. Make a face in your mashed potatoes. Pretend you're Count Dracula.
Here's an assignment for tonight, and I hope Ms. Lockwood will flunk you if you don't do it: Write a six line poem, about anything, but rhymed. No fair tennis without a net. Make it as good as you possibly can. But don't tell anybody what you're doing. Don't show it or recite it to anybody, not even your girlfriend or parents or whatever, or Ms. Lockwood. OK?
Tear it up into teeny-weeny pieces, and discard them into widely separated trash receptacles. You will find that you have already been gloriously rewarded for your poem. You have experienced becoming, learned a lot more about what's inside you, and you have made your soul grow.
God bless you all!
Kurt Vonnegut
In 2014, Dogtooth Films made a short film based on Kurt Vonnegut's letter, using pupils from Hove Park School.

Where a dormant company has completed its purpose and is solvent, a Members Voluntary Liquidation is a process used to wind up the company. In this situation Crowe will act as a liquidator, providing financial and tax advice for the maximum return to the shareholders.
The advantages of a Members Voluntary Liquidation are:
- Tax efficient method of distributing cash/ assets to shareholders
- Avoids on-ongoing audit and accounting costs
- Can be used as part of a restructuring process where a group wants to streamline its structure
- Company avoids being involuntarily struck off

And what did I do? I clicked "Delete" instead of "Publish" - Doh, doh, doh!
Eighteen comments were lost and there's nothing I can do to get them back.
Unfortunately, Blogger doesn't have a place that stores deleted comments.
Nor do they ask you if you really want to delete them before actually deleting them.
Ok, ok, I'll man up. I did click "Delete" after all.
