"Read this book if you want to throw light on the subject of immigration and not merely more heat. Dr. Hoffmeier's biblical exegesis gives us valuable perspective on national borders, guest workers, the difference between documented aliens and foreigners in Old Testament times, and many other matters."
—Marvin Olasky, Editor in Chief, World News Group
"Doubtless some will question this or that detail of his reading of Scripture, but Hoffmeier's book is a very healthy antidote to the merely sentimental readings that dominate much Christian thought on this complex and challenging issue."
—D. A. Carson, Research Professor of New Testament, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School; Cofounder, The Gospel Coalition
"The Immigration Crisis offers biblical perspectives on how Christians might respond to the complex needs and challenges that legal and illegal immigration pose. Dr. James Hoffmeier's knowledge of the ancient Near East unlocks the door to the biblical wisdom that shaped Israel's compassionate response to this timeless issue. You will discover how love and compassion for immigrants involves so much more than building or removing walls and deciding who receives or is denied amnesty."
—Vin Upham, Pastor, Immanuel Baptist Church, New Hartford, New York
"Hoffmeier has produced an authoritative work on what the Bible does and does not say about immigration. He allows the Bible to speak for itself within its cultural context without reading modern politics into the text. While his knowledge of the biblical text and the greater ancient Near East sets the groundwork for an accurate hermeneutical approach, his sensitivity to the issues provides a road map for the church to stay true to its biblical roots while serving its calling to be a light to the nations."
—Steven M. Ortiz, Associate Professor of Archaeology and Biblical Backgrounds, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary
"I come from a troubled nation from which hundreds of thousands of people have emigrated to western nations-some legally and some illegally. Many have done so because of genuine pain, danger, or need they have experienced in Sri Lanka. I have always discouraged people from using illegal means to do this and often preached about this in Sri Lanka. I resonate fully with the dual biblical emphasis presented in this book of caring for the alien and of submitting to the laws of the land."
—Ajith Fernando, Teaching Director, Youth for Christ, Sri Lanka; author, The Call to Joy and Pain
"Dr. Hoffmeier has written with insight and balance. There is biblical compassion and legal accountability throughout the pages of this engaging journey of history and culture. This book should provoke meaningful discussion among civil and church leaders on this timely topic of immigration."
—Roger Haber, Senior Pastor, Central Baptist Church, Middleborough, Massachusetts
"How can we resolve the immigration crisis in America today with humane sensitivity but with respect for the rule of law? James Hoffmeier brings the clarity and structure of biblical society to the confusion and chaos of modern America. He is one of the rare scholars and thinkers who listens to the Bible and does not tell the Bible what it should say. He hears the Bible speaking about the true meaning of sanctuary and of being a part of a society rather than a stranger. As a rabbi, I have shared Hoffmeier's conclusions with members of my Jewish community who are fascinated and open to hear the message of this provocative and intellectually stimulating book. For anyone who believes in the Judeo-Christian way of life, this book is essential reading. I wish that we could have more books like this on the other important controversies of our time."
—Benjamin Scolnic, Temple Beth Sholom, Hamden, Connecticut; Adjunct Professor, Southern Connecticut State University
"With his book Immigration Crisis, Jim Hoffmeier has done the church a real service. He brings the Word of God to bear on one of the most pressing political and social issues of our day. Hoffmeier himself is especially well-equipped to bring us guidance on this issue. His own life, family, and career have been deeply intertwined with the issues of immigrants and aliens. Coupled with his long and fruitful career as a Biblical scholar, Hoffmeier has the tools to help us. A real strength of the book is its panoramic view of the entire canon. Certainly those of us who follow Christ need biblical light to shine on these pressing questions of our day. I would highly recommend Jim Hoffmeier's work as a wonderful starting place for developing a biblical perspective on the immigration crisis."
—Vic Gordon, Senior Pastor, Beachpoint Church, Fountain Valley, California

Harold Kravitz, a senior citizen from Randolph, Mass., was once a regular at Mohegan Sun who was so well-liked that he attended one employee's wedding.
Now he's a convicted felon, banned from casinos because he scammed a dealer out of $35,000 in a bogus investment scheme.
Kravitz, 79, pleaded guilty to third-degree larceny in New London Superior Court Wednesday. He was spared from prison time because he has fully repaid the victim.
Judge Susan B. Handy ordered him to stay out of casinos as she handed down a suspended sentence.
"Stupid, stupid, stupid," Handy told Kravitz. "You're 79 years old. You stole $35,000 from a woman who thought you were her friend."
Kravitz and his wife had been friendly with the woman and attended her daughter's wedding, according to his attorney, Paul F. Chinigo.
According to state police, Kravitz convinced the woman, a longtime employee of the casino, that he could double her money if she gave him cash. He said a nephew owned a burglary alarm system company and had a big contract with a synagogue in Westport.
The woman took money out of her retirement plan to invest with Kravitz, and when that ran out, she borrowed $10,000 from a friend, according to state police. He gave her postdated checks as collateral but told her not to cash them.
Kravitz tried to repay her with gambling wins, according to Chinigo.
"There's always the hope you'll get that big hit and pay it off," Chinigo said.
Finally, the dealer confronted Kravitz and said she would tell his wife about the scheme if he did not repay her. Kravitz broke down and admitted he has had a gambling problem since he was 15, according to an arrest warrant affidavit in the case. He admitted the crime to state police detectives and said he would sell his house to repay the woman.
Following his arrest, Kravitz's wife and other family members helped raise the money to repay the victim. Chinigo said he was mailing a check on Wednesday.
The judge imposed a sentence of one year in prison, fully suspended, followed by two years of conditional discharge. She told Kravitz that despite his age, she would not hesitate to send him to prison if he comes back before her.

Carrie is a 2014 American supernatural horror Film. It is the third film adaptation of Stephen King's 1947 novel of the same name. Produced by Kevin Misher and directed by Kimberly Peirce it runs for 99 minutes. The main role is played by Chloe Grace Moretz as Carrie white and Julianne Moore as Carrie's mother Margaret White
Carrie is a story of a young girl of 16 year old who studies in high school and is bullied by her peers in school. The film is set in Chamberlaine Maine. Margaret White (Julianne Moore), Carrie's mother is a deeply religious woman who is also separated from her husband. After giving birth to a baby girl she wants to kill the infant as she thinks her daughter is a product of sin. But then she changes her mind and the child grows into an adolescent.
Carrie is an introvert young, shy and unassertive girl. While showering after gym class at school, Carrie experiences her first menstrual period, naively thinks she is bleeding to death. The other girls in school laugh and tease her. The bully of the college Chris Hargensen (Portia Doubleday) records the events on her smart phone and uploads it on You Tube. Chris is suspended and banned from prom for harassing Carrie. So she plans to take revenge on Carrie.
The supporting cast is very good. Sue is well played by (Gabriella Wilde) a girl who regret teasing Carrie in the shower room.Tommy Ross (Ansel Elgort) who played Carrie's boyfriend over reacts in some scenes.The screenplay is very well written by Lawrence D. Cohen and Robert Aquirre Sacasa.The background music given by Marco Beltrami is very nice .It goes with the horror theme; if audience watch it in the theatre they will be horrified. The title of the movie is justified because the movie revolves around the protagonist, Carrie.
The shoots of the film is very well taken, which heightens the horror theme of the movie. Cinematography is very well done by Steve Yedlin. The editing of the movie is done by Lee Percy. This movie is made with a budget of 30 million US dollars.
There is a undertone of romantic comedy association in the film when Carrie seems to be bonding somewhat excessively with a football player who takes her under his wing at prom. Kimberley Pierce give a supernatural theme to the film when Carrie realise she possesses telekinetic powers and when her fellow students finally push her over the edge, she takes bloody, bloody revenge.
Carrie played by Grace Moretz, is miscast. In some scenes, like when her friend bullies her expression is very nice. But in some she is not convincingly enough to express her. She is simply much too pretty to be Carrie. Julianne Moore as a Carrie's mother is convincing enough. She played her role very well as a mother who beats her daughter and locks her in cupboard. I will give it 2 stars out of five. This Carrie remake is a lazy, badly made replica of the classic movie. But if one watches it as an original movie then it is an average movie which has all the flavours of romantic, comedy and supernatural theme.

Chinese Export Silver Trumpet Vase Hand Worked Characters
From early 1900s China and hand wrought from solid 925 or higher silver. The trumpet shape has a a fluted rim and a ring around the stem near the foot. There are three circular panels with a hammered background and Chinese characters or sinographs in repousse. I believe the characters mean Flower, Happiness, and God (supernatural being). The underside of the foot displays hand hammered marks.
The height is 5 5/8" (14.3 cm) and the top diameter is 2 3/4" (7 cm). The weight is 79 grams but there is a small plug of heavy metal in the bottom half inch of the stem to weight the vase. There are no hallmarks but it is guaranteed to be sterling or higher silver content. There are very tiny dings near the foot.

I have not been a victim of cramming but I worked as a customer service representative for charges on phone bills and direct billing.
Cramming is the practice of placing unauthorized, misleading, or deceptive charges on your telephone bill. Entities that fraudulently cram onto bills appear to rely largely on confusing telephone bills in order to mislead consumers into paying for services that they did not authorize or receive. In addition to providing local telephone service, local telephone companies often bill their customers for long distance and other services that other companies provide.
When the local company, the long distance telephone company, or another type of service provider either accidentally or intentionally sends inaccurate billing data to be included on the consumer's local telephone bill, cramming can occur.
Charges that are added to a consumer's telephone bill every month without a clear explanation of the services provided - such as a "monthly fee" or "minimum monthly usage fee.?? Make sure you know what service was provided, even for small charges. Crammers often try to go undetected by submitting $2.00 or $3.00 charges to thousands of consumers. References (Sources) for this and additional information is at the end of this posting. I will also use quotation marks when quoting directly from a document. Memos quoted from NWNT were often re-issued because of the turn over of employees; I will only quote from one date.
If you have received a bill that fits this description I hope the following information can help you understand and resolve the problem. For legal advice, please, contact an attorney, I am a customer service representative giving an opinion. I hope you will pass on this information to others including; people who do not have access to the internet, employers (accounts payable departments), Congressional Representatives, Media Representatives (print and television) and anyone who has a phone or a computer who may have been billed and not noticed the charge, as you did, in your area. You have my permission to print this statement and to contact me.
I was an employee at NWNT from June of 2001 until I was terminated on Dec. 7th, 2004 (3 years 5 months and approximately 18 days). I worked as a customer service representative answering in-bound calls concerning billing that appeared on phone bills and direct bills to individuals, businesses and public services. The companies?? names I have listed I can document, taking inquires about or are associated with NWNT. They are not all of the companies that I took calls about: I remember others. The companies, other than the LECs, have identified themselves as doing customer service or billing companies.
September 24, 2004, "Effective Immediately: If a customer asks what the name of our company is, tell them Northwest Nevada Telco, not USBI. Northwest Nevada Telco handles customer service (for) a number of different companies." ?x Prior to this memo we identified ourselves as customer service for the company on the bill and our location was never given as Reno, NV.
None of these companies, to my knowledge, have identified themselves as the origin of the charge or identified where the charge originated. None, to my knowledge, have identified what the charge is specifically, according to the requirement under the law.
??On or about Nov. 23, 2004???x?x?x Michelle posted on the Internet?x?x. The topic was fraudulent billing on phone bills in relationship to NWNT and Jack Lawless. As a result NWNT and Jack Lawless for sued her and ripoffreport.com. Michelle for "wrongfully posted false and defamatory factual statements on Rip-off Report's web site with the intent to disparage, defame, and injure Plaintiff's business."?x?x?x I am here to post concerning the same issues as Michelle.
Michelle became an employee at NWNT in May of 2004. In August of 2004 (3 months after she became employed there), to the best of my memory, is when she became one of my supervisors. She was terminated "on or about November 22, 2004???x?x?x (about 7 months total employment at NWNT).
In my opinion: based upon: my experience (with my employer NWNT and the callers I spoke with), documentation I have acquired and have read (some will be referenced):
1. The majority of charges were cramming. Both voice access and computer web sites.
2. The majority of Internet charges were done by: auto dialers; stealth dialers, spy ware, virus, pop-ups and Spam placed on the victim??s computers by the originating biller. The computer screen I saw on the database would show a originating ani (ani was the written description on the computer screen. I think the intent was to confuse csr??s. It was actually a term that referred to which account payment or debit was destine for) and a destination ani. The original ani a majority of the time was an 800-phone number (900 number or a 1010 number were others). The destination ani was a long string of number which when put in a computer would bring up a website (IP address). The amount of time on the caller's bill minimum was 2 minutes, my screen showed seconds.
October 29, 2004, for virus/dialer complaints: "Based on the destination Ani we are usually able to identify the problem and then forward the appropriate URL address and give them the assistance they need."?x The assistance they needed was to remove the infection from their computers.
3. The actions of the companies (lecs, customer service and billing) have created a Cramming Industry. Each has made a profit by handling these fraudulent charges. Why else would all of them, customer service companies, billing companies and lecs not identify the clients? I believe they have purposely sought out to represent the originating biller or billing company. Each time the lec and consumers became aware of cramming or regulatory prosecutions reached decision levels about a "client??, the number of in-bound calls would slow down at NWNT. Thousands of calls would come in every day then slow down to a trickle. Eventually a new "client" would be acquired, the "old client" in-bound calls would fade away until the database and phone log in would no longer be necessary. The same cycle would occur with the "new client".
When I was hired in June 2001 the ??new client?? was USP&C.
??On April 23, 2001, the Commission issued Decision (D) 01-04-036, which found that respondent, USP&C, Inc. (USP&C), served as the billing agent for $51.5 million of billings to California customers. USP&C present billings for service providers that conducted business under several different unregistered aliases, and that also used up to four different names for identical services. Of the total amount billed by USP&C during this period, $27 million (52%) was refunded at the customer??s request. The remaining $24.5 million, however, was collected by USP&C, and was forwarded to the service providers, net of the fee charged by USP&C.??# ???Kimposed a fine of $1,750,000. The Commission also ordered USP&C to show cause why it (1) should not be required to disgorge all amounts retained from unauthorized billings, and (2) should not be fined for failing to comply with other provisions ?K The Decision also order all California incumbent local exchange carriers to cease billing for USP&C.??# ??May 24,2004, the Superior Court for the County of San Francisco granted the Commission??s motion for judgment on the pleadings and entered judgment for $1.75 million, plus interest, against USP&C.??# ???Kat the time of USP&C ??s violations required that the billing agent provide a clear and concise description of the service for which the charge was imposed?K?K.required the name, address, and phone number of the party responsible for generating the charge be included on the bill?KFebruary 10, 2004, the United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York unsealed an indictment against members of the Gambino crime family and USP&C for their participation in a nationwide scheme that, much like USP&C??s action in California, placed unauthorized charges on the local telephone bills of millions of consumers included racketeering, racketeering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit wire and mail fraud, wire fraud and money laundering, and sought the forfeiture of $430 million in criminal proceeds.??# ??Victims who called the 1-800 numbers asking for free samples unwittingly kicked over a recurring monthly charge on their phone bills from USP&C, according to prosecutors, charges made to resemble standard phone charges hiding the adult entertainment services and psychic hotline triggers. This was believed to be good for $50,000-60,000 a day from 1997 through 2001 and over $420 million gross overall, prosecutors said.??##
The next ??new client?? was Alyon Technologies around April 2003.
??In May 2003, the FTC charged Alyon and its principal, Stephen Touboul, with illegally billing and collecting for videotext services purportedly accessed on the Internet. Over time, 16 state attorneys general??s filed similar charges against Alyon in state courts. According to the FTC, the defendants downloaded a modem-dialing program onto consumers? computers, allegedly after consumers clicked on a button to agree to the terms and conditions for such a download. The dialing program then disconnected consumers from their own Internet service providers and reconnected them to the defendants? network. The defendants captured the telephone number used by the modem and matched it against databases of line subscriber information. The line subscribers identified as responsible for captured telephone numbers later received bills charging them $4.99 a minute for each minute the defendants claimed video services were purchased, regardless of whether the telephone subscribers authorized the purchase. The FTC alleged that many consumers never visited the defendants? sites at all, and were charged due to billing service errors of which the defendants were aware. Other line subscribers were billed because a minor child or someone else in their household accessed the services without the line subscriber??s authorization.?? ??December 6, 2004. The settlement provides that consumers who were billed for adult services used on or before June 15, 2003 and who disputed the charges to the defendants on or before January 15, 2004 will be credited. Consumers who were billed for services used on or before June 15, 2003, but who did not pay or dispute the charges, will have the opportunity to dispute the charges in writing and qualify to have the debt forgiven. The defendants may continue to bill those consumers.??### ??May 15,2003 Attorney General Richard Blumenthal today announced that the State of Connecticut will be suing Alyon Technologies, Inc. for billing consumers for Internet services they never ordered?K.consumers who never requested the company??s service. Often, consumers were not home at the time the alleged Internet access took place. The Attorney General??s Office has received a number of complaints from senior citizens who do not even own computers but were billed by Alyon.??####
The next ??new client?? was One Call Communications, USBI, ESBI, ZPDI, Opticom and Optiview around February 2004.
??Records show that by 2003, the company had revenue of more than $270 million. To an industry database, it had about 400 employees. In a statement last year (2005), they employed 70 at its Carmel headquarters.??#####
??One way One Call is trying to extricate itself from burgeoning consumer complaints is state regulators lack Jurisdiction.??##### Indiana, Iowa, Missouri and FCC are all mention in this article.
I believe this cycle will continue and cell phones and text messaging will be the next area to be crammed. The customer service, billing companies and phone companies will aid and abet the fraud, protect the "clients" entering into a conspiracy in the name of profit. I believe they all should be held responsible for their actions but I can only give information on NWNT where my experiences occurred.
4. I recommended a search, on the Internet, if you believe you are a victim of cramming: Class Action, Cramming. According to one web site I visited, to the best of my knowledge, attorneys who specialize in class action suits can not get access to the victims names, Government Investigative Agencies can not give out this information and the lecs have refused to give it upon request. To the best of my knowledge, victims can file complaints with either: in their state the Attorney General's Office, the PUC, Consumer Advocates, the FCC and the FTC.
5. To the best of my knowledge, in some states, when a credit has been issued to the victim??s charges that they are not a victim any longer. No victim, No crime. When I turned in memos to management at NWNT informing them of callers who stated after my issuing a credit they would file a complaint with a government agency many times they laughed, I can't document that, I can only say it was done. Other states allow the victim to pursue the case despite having been issued a credit.
Before my termination with NWNT I had reached the same conclusions as Michelle posted. I admire her courage for posting at that time. I want to tell you what happened to her and give you additional information, documented to the best of my ability.
From the Lawsuit:
"Specifically, Alexander stated that "U.S.B.I./Z.P.D.I., owner Jack Lawless is ripping Americans off by fraudulently putting virus, auto dialers and spyware on (customers') computers, thus adding bogus charges to (their) phone bills, for which (they) are paying thousands of dollars a year for," and that "(m)ost of these charges go unnoticed, which go right into Mr. 'Lawless's' pocket."?x?x?x
"Alexander's statements are completely false because Lawless has no ownership in USBI, ZPDI, or the dialer service Alexander described. USBI and ZPDI merely provide billing services for some of NWNT's customers, but are otherwise totally separate and independent entities. Moreover, NWNT does not market, bill, or share in the profits of USBI, ZPDI, or the said dialer service."?x?x?x "Neither NWNT nor Lawless host, create or own any dialer software or spyware and therefore have no ability to distribute such dialers and software.???x?x?x
September 30, 2004, "If a customer inquires who the billing company is: One Call Com is the parent company. Opticom is the Operator Services Division. ZPDI, USBI and ESBI are billing clearinghouse that process records on behalf of several carriers."?x
Refer to NWNT's web site for additional information on dialers availability.?x?x?x?x
Check websites on the net. Read my posting. Make your own decision based on the information available.
From the Lawsuit:
"Alexander also misrepresented that Lawless's employees "are told at no time to be honest and to give the customer a credit, they are only to offer the customer a 'Block' only."?x?x?x
May 10, 2003, "Attempt to sustain the credit on every call you receive. After you tell the customer what the charge is for, offer to block the phone number from any further access to our clients' services."?x
May 25, 2003, ??It has been brought to my attention that many of you are asking the caller if they want to dispute the charge. The script you are to use does not say for you to ask the caller if they want to dispute the charge. It is very important to try to sustain the credit. Always offer to block and then pause. Let the caller take it from there. Nor do I want to hear you grilling the caller in order to get them to say they are disputing the charge. If you are having problems with sustaining credit, ask Sharon to give you some pointers.???x
??What is the charge on my bill? 1) This is a charge for access to an Internet service. Prior to connection, rates are fully disclosed. Someone in your household has used your computer to access one of a number of worldwide Internet sites which are supported by this Internet service. 2) If you would like, I can block your phone number from any further access to our clients?? services in the future. 3) If after offering to block their phone number, the customer disputes the charge in any way, you may offer ??a one time courtesy credit?? Do not offer to credit unless after you have offered a block the customer disputes the charge.??
November 23, 2004, "It is also important to maintain the credits. By following the script, you should be able to block only many of the calls."?x
"After you explain the charge: If you would like, I can block your phone number from any further access to our clients' services in the future. Response 1 Customer's Response 1= Yes, please do that, I do not want any future bill? Agent's Reply= I have put the block in place, there will be no further access." "Customer's Response 2= That is fine, but I am not going to pay this charge; what about this charge; do I still have to pay this; etc. Agent's Reply= The charges are valid, and you are responsible for charges to your phone line. Response 3 Customer's Response 3= I refuse to pay this, I can't afford this, I'll just call my phone company then, I'll be contacting the fcc, etc. Agent's Reply= Even though the call was traced to your line, I am authorized to issue a one time courtesy credit.???x?x?x?x?x
"This charge is for a call placed through One Call's Network. How may I help you? (pause) Customer's Questionfiltered=How did I get this charge? Agent's Response=The call was traced to your line through caller ID. Customer's Question=What is One Call Network? Agent's Response=A telecommunications company.
Customer's Question=How can I be charged for this, I don't have long distance? Agent's Response=This is a call placed through One Call's Network you do not need a long distance carrier. Customer's Question=What kind of charge is this? Agent's Response=It is a telecommunications charge which can be bill through 1010 calls. Customer's response=No one made this call. Agent's Response=Ok, let's do some troubleshooting. a) Have you checked with others in the home? b) Do you have any minor children? c) Do you have a computer, an alarm system or lifeline service, it is possible that the call came from one of those devices. Customer's Response=How can a computer make a phone call? Agent's Response= Most computers have a modem which makes a connection through the phone line. I can put a block on the line to prevent any future access to One Call's Network. Customer's Response 1=Yes, please do that, I do not want any future bill? Agent's Reply=I have put the block in place, there will be no further access. Customer's Response 2=That is fine, but I am not gong to pay this charge; what about this charge; do I still have to pay this; etc."?x?x?x?x?x (refer to above scripting for further answers)
From the Lawsuit:
"Contrary to Alexander's assertions, NWNT provides customer service under contract and trains its agents and employees to allow credits for first time users of the services in question, and if consumers request "blocking" of their phone numbers, the block indefinitely precludes them from accessing the services."?x?x?x "Additionally, NWNT demands that its agents and employees always be honest with consumers, and terminates agents or employees who fail to do so."?x?x?x
It was not a one-time credit, if a caller called back with prior or future charges they were also credited. A caller making a request did not get the credit, a caller had to refuse to pay (rtp note) or deny all knowledge but refuse to pay or threaten an action after the block had been put on (dak note). The notation first time user was not allowed for issuing a credit. The block did not preclude another client billing the phone. I spoke to callers who were billed by one client and several months later would get the same caller billed under another client.
November 4, 2004, "If a customer asks if there are any future charges, do not tell them that you see additional charges. Simply tell them that the charges do not post to our database until they have reached their phone bill."?x
September 24, 2004, "Effective Immediately: If a customer asks what the name of our company is, tell them Northwest Nevada Telco, not USBI. Northwest Nevada Telco handles customer service (for) a number of different companies."?x Prior to this memo we identified ourselves as customer service for the company on the bill and our location was never given as Reno, NV. In my opinion, this would make it difficult for anyone to be aware of NWNT is involved in the industry of cramming. You can't prosecute or sue if you don't know whom or where. It is also a definite lie.
"Escalation Form If your caller says that they are -an Attorney -a Law Enforcement Official -a representative of the following agencies: Attorney General's Office, Better Business Bureau, Public (Utilities/Service) Commission, FCC, FTC. Please respond: "The billing party is very interested in resolving your concerns; however, it is their policy to discuss specific information only with the end user. If I can get your name and a number where you can be reached, a company representative will contact you." DO NOT ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS, OR GIVE OUT COMPANY INFORMATION"?x
June 22, 2004, "If you receive a call and the requested credit is over $800, do not credit the account. Transfer the call to a floor lead."*++ "Any time you receive a call concerning charges to business telephone line, transfer the call to a floor lead."?x
April 21, 2004, "If you are not able to assist the customer, and the supervisor is on another call, you will need to take a memo with a call back number or request that the customer call back. Do not transfer to the supervisor's desk and drop the call into voice mail."*++
August 18, 2004, "When entering notes on an account, do not include such information as sup not available; unable to transfer, etc. Simply enter a note which states: John clld res req call from sup memo taken nnt xx"?x
In my opinion, based upon experience, I was processing memos that went back 5 plus months that did not receive their call backs from a supervisor. This was to delay issuing credit and keep the funds longer- big numbers, big interest ?V interest is not credited back to the consumer, to my knowledge.
In my opinion:
1. Michelle was trying to help, as she now believed, the victims of charges being crammed on their bills.
2. It takes time to come to the conclusions and opinion that both she, I and other employees (who I shall not name here) came to realize about the charges we were handling and about NWNT.
3. Michelle came to the conclusions faster, because as a supervisor she had more access to information than I.
4. The employee turnover was high (usually less than 3 months employed) in order for the customer service representatives to remain as ignorant as possible as to the bogus nature of the charges. Also the average hold time (time spent with each caller) had to be 3.5 minutes or under.
"The average hold time for your calls must be 3.5 minutes. This is the average length it takes for completing a call. By following the script, you should be able to maintain this hold time. Failure to maintain a hold time of 3.5 minute will result in disciplinary action."?x This is also found in Quality Control Disciplinary Guidelines.
5. Michelle, after becoming a supervisor, began to question the validity of the charges. I witness the retaliation done to her, which cumulated in her termination of employment. It became obvious to NWNT that her personal integrity would not allow her to assist in the fraud. It was that same personal integrity that caused her to post on the Internet. She empathized with the victims she spoke to and wanted to stop future victimization.
6. NWNT identifies itself as strictly customer service on these charges. I believe they also were also guilty of being a billing originator because of the information on their web site, billing on data base 7f, which identified the billing company as NV TELCO, doing paperwork and computer work for the issuance of checks for crediting charges and watching a supervisor preparing for mailing checks for credit made out to the lec and the billed party. Michelle, as a supervisor, came to the same conclusion for I believe the same reasons.
7. At the very least NWNT, all the customer service companies and billing companies that assist the originator biller is guilty of conspiracy to commit fraud and mail fraud. I base this opinion on all of the above and the scripts used and changed to describe the very same charge differently, depending upon which script was enforce at the time of the caller inquiry.
8. The damage to the victims, known and unknown is more than monetary.
9. The LEC that showed the same integrity toward their clients that Michelle displayed is Puerto Rico Telephone. We could no longer issue credit on charges when they tried to sue the entity that, as far as they knew, placed the cramming charges on their bills. I applaud their actions and wish they could be my lec.
During her employment at NWNT Michelle and I were not friends. I heard she posted on the Internet from another employee. I do not own a computer, not then, not now. I type on my word processor at home and take anything I need to the Library. I contacted Michelle up until then she did not know my opinion. The lawsuit was file on December 9, 2004.
Michelle wasn't able to find a attorney to assist her, she couldn??t pay. She tried to represent herself at the first Motion hearing on or about January 5, 2005. I testified as a witness, I was not allowed to be in the courtroom except when testifying. Michelle realized after that she did not have the ability to proceed, she had made an err in court in the filing (to the best of my knowledge). She left her life behind in Nevada and did not respond or appear in any further proceedings. She is still ??gone??.
Decision of the Court filed May 4, 2006: (XCENTRIC is ripoffreports.com)
??Plaintiffs, in their Complaint, allege Alexander defamed them and requested damages and injunctive relief. Defendant, XCENTRIC VENTURES,LLC (hereinafter, ??Xcentric??) challenged the jurisdiction of the Court and on July 25, 2005, Plaintiffs and Xcentric stipulated to dismiss, with prejudice, all claims against Xcentric.??**
??The Court has reviewed the pleadings, the arguments of counsel and the record. The Court notes Alexander, who appeared, pro se at the initial preliminary injunction hearing has not filed any pleadings or made any subsequent appearances.?? ?x?x?x
??The Court finds Plaintiffs have, pursuant to Berosini, supra., failed to adequately justify the requested fees. The Court declines to impose damages as one party was voluntarily dismissed from the case and the record is unclear which parties inflicted the majority of the damages.
Accordingly, and good cause appearing, Plaintiffs?? Application for Default Judgment is GRANTED, in part. Plaintiffs request for compensatory damages, in the amount of $1,000.00, is DENIED. Plaintiffs?? request for an award of attorney??s fees is DENIED. Plaintiffs request for costs, in the amount of $2,983.85, is GRANTED. Plaintiffs?? request for a permanent injunction is GRANTED.
Alexander is hereby ENJOINED from and shall not publish any additional reports or statements regarding Plaintiffs or their businesses which allege: ??U.S.B.I./Z.P.D.I., owner Jack Lawless is ripping Americans off by fraudently putting virus, auto dialers and spyware on (customers??) computers, thus adding bogus charges to (their) phones bills, for which (they) are paying thousands of dollars a year for,?? and that ??(m)ost of these charges go unnoticed, which go right into Mr. Lawless??s pocket.?? Alexander is further ENJOINED from further publishing Plaintiffs?? personal information.???x?x?x
Conclusion: My opinion
INDUSTRY OF CRAMMING, you can change it. When you shine a light under a rock all the bugs scurry away. Shine some lights. Put some media attention on these companies. The past billings that were never noticed, look for them or get the information to those who make the payments. Make the companies ethically responsible for how they make their profits. Contact your lawmakers in your state. Make the punishment higher than the profits realized from these kinds of activities. If you don??t do something it will continue with a new face but the same old activity.
I write this, now, because information is now available on the Internet on the previous and last ??new client?? at NWNT. I have identified NWNT, so did Michelle. NWNT was hidden from view, but to my knowledge no one has held a customer service company responsible. Yet, didn??t they also aid and abet in the conspiracy of fraud on the American People? Michelle was telling the truth, as she knew it. I keep thinking at Nuremberg the defense I was just following orders was not a justifiable defense. Is we were just customer service not the billing agent and our clients were billing companies acceptable? Once they knew, why did they continue to provide the service? How did they manage to provide customer service for one company after another that was involved in cramming?
If you choose to contact me, please, send me an email address for you so I can respond. I can type it up at home and take it to the Library to send it. Due to the hours I work many times the Library is closed when I get off work. I live in rural Nevada and there is no mail delivery at my home. Thank you.

Habana was carried off on a stretcher in the second half after being tackled by Sam Cane and falling awkwardly. Coach Alistair Coetzee told reporters the player faces at least 10 weeks on the sidelines.
That means he will only return if the Stormers reach the playoffs, a bitter blow to their chances.
With Habana set to join French Top-14 side Toulon at the end of the Super Rugby campaign, he could have played his final match in the competition he won with the Bulls in 2007 and 2009 before moving to Cape Town.
The win by the Stormers was their first in the tournament this season.

Hello there.
first This is a great plug-in !
But I'm posting because I encounter a pb I can't resolve :
I've got a quite big file (380 lines) I wish to show.
- importing is fine (either way with CSV or copy and paste)
If table get under 100 lines all is showing fine.
maximum I've been able to get is 346 lines… at the 347 line the page is blank.
no error message is showing (I've also tried debug mode is WP but no indication too).
I don't understand. I've played whith SQL and increase to 128,256 and 512 Mb but no changes.
=> this is all I've changed :
SET GLOBAL query_cache_size =512000000
SET GLOBAL max_heap_table_size =64000000
SET GLOBAL tmp_table_size =64000000
No go.
in WP settings I'vegot 128M
in PHP settings too.
I can't get it to work and I've no idea why (besides I'm not a big developper too, just a curious guy that hate to not understand things !)
I won't have many table that big but I'd really like to get this one displaying.
I'm using ellegantheme but I don't think this is the pb.
and again with small tables like 30-50 lines I ain't got no b at all. tables are diplaying on the post or the page.
Can someone point me to something to look at ?
Also I'm on a intranet so I cannot give url for anyone to look at it !
I also don't have the power to change php settings directly if needed, but this can be done (with some delay).
don't see what more to tell.
And yeah, Pardon my bad english, I'm a french guy ;)
My best…

Tales of Symphonia Is Busted On PC
Publisher Bandai Namco released Tales of Symphonia on PC yesterday, which would be good news if it weren't such a disaster.
Publisher Bandai Namco released Tales of Symphonia on PC yesterday, which would be good news if it weren't such a disaster.
Last month, the Tales of Symphonia Chronicles HD remaster was released on the PS3 in Japan, and it's getting a Western release this coming February. And while we've all seen HD remasters before, there's plenty to be excited about in Tales of Symphonia Chronicles.
Last week we took a look at how the PS3 remaster of Tales of Symphonia stacks up against the original GameCube version. But this is not the only game in the Tales of Symphonia Chronicles HD remaster collection. Its 2008 sequel, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World, has had an HD makeover as well.
It's been a long time since the excellent JRPG Tales of Symphonia was released on the GameCube in 2003. Now, to celebrate its tenth anniversary, it (and its sequel) have been remastered in HD in Japan. But the question remains: Just how much better does it look on the PS3?
The North American Tales of Symphonia Chronicles $100 Collector's Edition for the PS3 is epic. If four Chibi Kyun Chara figures, a novel detailing what happened between Tales of Symphonia and Dawn of the New World, a multi-disc soundtrack and special collector's packaging isn't enough to get you to re-buy two games…
In celebration of its 10th anniversary, Tales of Symphonia is getting re-released on the PlayStation 3. Titled Tales of Symphonia Unisonant Pack, the game will include both Tales of Symphonia and its sequel, Tales of Symphonia: Dawn of the New World.
Has one genre ever made you change your opinion of another? Commenter File2ish explains how Namco's Tales of Symphonia made him a fighting game fan in today's Speak Up on Kotaku.

Toyota will recall more than 885,000 vehicles worldwide because of a potential problem with the cars' air-conditioning, which in turn could cause problems with the airbags.
The recall is for the Camry, Camry Hybrid, Avalon, Avalon Hybrid and the Venza crossover, but as these models are not sold in the UK, no British Toyota owners will be affected.
Toyota says that in the affected cars built between August 2011 and June 2013 there is a risk of water collecting at the bottom of the air-conditioning condenser unit, should a drain hose become clogged. Accumulated water may leak through on to the adjacent airbag control module. If the circuit inside the module becomes wet, a short circuit may occur, resulting in the airbag warning light coming on. In some cases, airbags could become disabled, or be inadvertently deployed.
The last time UK customers were affected by a Toyota recall was during the summer when more than 5,000 Toyota Yaris and Verso S cars were recalled because of a potential power steering problem.
Despite the headlines, recalls are a common occurrence. To find out more: Everything you need to know about car recalls.

#1 Consumer Comment
4 years taking assignments: NO problems
AUTHOR: DJRC Mobile - ()
SUBMITTED: Thursday, July 03, 2014POSTED: Thursday, July 03, 2014
I was googling the company for some info, and I followed a link to your site. Since I've had nothing but polite, professional and ethical treatment from these folks for over 4 years, I found it tough to believe that SignOnService would treat another notary as badly as described in the complaint.
This was my first visit to your site. I got the hang of navigating after I got over my shock at the vitriol in the complaints. I had to hunt a bit to locate the company's response. It was written by the same gent who calls me for assignments and never fails to pay me for a job properly done. I felt we weren't getting the whole story.
The industry standard is to have the notary correct any mistakes he/she's responsible for. And if the notary in error can't or won't make the corrections, another notary must be paid to clean up the mess. I believe his explanation.
No Title Company or Signing Service gets paid until the Loan funds (in the case of a mortgage, for example), and some companies don't pay out until they're paid. Some pay according to their own shorter-time schedule, but I know the payout policy of every company I do work for. No surprises, no complaints.
I am bothered that the response to the complaint was positioned so far away from the complaint itself.
Not many folks would bother to hunt around to see if there was a credible response. Homo Sapiens is a bit lazy in that fashion. How about posting responses and rebuttals closer to the original complaint?
Thanks for the soapbox

False Claim
AUTHOR: Ryan - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, January 27, 2010POSTED: Wednesday, January 27, 2010
My name is Ryan, I am the Operations Manager of Signonservice.biz. The mentioned complaint by Heidi is completely false and unjustified. I contacted her to do a signing for me. She made several mistakes at the signing and I requested that she go back out to correct her own mistakes. She refused to correct the mistakes and therefore I had to pay another notary to go back out and resign the documents. Our policy in our notary packet clearly states that a notary will not be fully compensated unless she completes the job, which includes going back out to fix any mistakes caused on her behalf. I explained this to Heidi after she refused to go back out. There are thousands of notaries nationwide that have worked for me through the years and I would be happy to refer anyone that questions my integrity or business ethics. Thank you.

I was very happy with it it worked fine and got automatic updates.
For some reason tuneup utilities on an automatic update changed the programme to the 2012 version and then every time the computer loaded it said my programme trial period had expired and that tune up utilities would no longer work on my pc it tells me to pay another fee to them to get the updated code to make this newer programme work.
I feel i should not have to do this. As far as i am aware i did not ask the programme to change from 2010 to 2012 i feel in a way my computer has been hacked by this company and now i am being held to ransom.
I tried to contact them with three e mails and no response. i look on their website for contact details and the number on there is not for them but for the company that takes the payments for them. I manage to get a phone number for them and ring it and its not answered but goes to voice mail and you have to leave details for them to call you back so far no calls back.
Such a shame that a company that has a good product then spoils it by the bad customer service and lack of response to a request for help.
I am one very angry and annoyed and frustrated customer TUNEUP utilities get your act together and make your customer services department work properly

Why a Class Action will more than likely not work in this case
It is the opinion of Rip-off Report staff that a Class Action will not work in this situation and will only lead victims down a long path of disappointment. In order for an attorney to take on such a case, there needs to be money. Before any lawyers can get to any money, companies like this will more than likely go belie-UP! / Bankrupt, which means, there will be NO MONEY! The best way to get many companies to pay up is to first get the authorities to get the offending company criminally, then their assets will be immediately frozen most of the time, so they cannot spend or hide the money. - - Once a reputable lawyer contacts Rip-off Report with a plan, we will be glad to make arrangements with them to e-mail those of you who filed a Rip-off Report.

Our digital PR and social media campaigns are as much about online optimisation as they are audience engagement.
We understand and use traditional PR values and practices to generate online results that perform for all areas of your business.
Working closely with our Content Marketing team, we create online campaigns that engage the right people, in the right place, at the right time.
Influencer engagement and campaigns
We bolster our strong media relations by collaborating with the influencers that your audience is listening to across social media, forums, blogs and many other online platforms. We develop relationships with these influencers to understand what they want to share and why they would talk about your brand.
Put simply, our Digital PR campaigns are developed to ensure we get the right people talking about you and the messages that you want to convey.
Social media campaigns
We create social campaigns with insight at their core to ensure that we're reaching and engaging with your target audience. We put you at the centre of the online conversations that matter to your brand and your audience, both at the right time and in the right tone of voice. We also ensure that our social campaigns are tied to other relevant marketing activities to create consistent branded experiences for your audience.
Audience research and insight
The starting point for all our campaigns is solid audience and customer insight. Using a combination of our tools and expertise, we get to understand your audience, from what makes them tick to what they want to share and where you need to be seen online to reach them. We then feed this into our campaign strategies to ensure we're using the best combination of paid, owned and earned media to reach your audience.
Media relations
At the heart of any PR agency is good media relations and we're no different. We work hard to develop and maintain great media relationships to ensure we understand the news agenda, how we can use this to benefit our clients and ultimately secure both coverage and links on the publications our client's audience is reading. Newsjacking often plays a big part in our strategies and helps us secure coverage both nationally and internationally.
Measurement and ROI reporting
We ensure that your KPIs are deeply rooted in our strategy from the beginning to produce meaningful results that have a long-term impact on your bottom line. Working closely with our Insights department, we report not just on engagement and growth in social channels, but on the revenue that our PR and Social activity is directly driving.

We deliver training to in-house teams to assist in the integration and growth of PR, SEO, Content and Social strategies.
