With a 40mm face, this watch is designed to be shown off. It's styling is very simple yet elegant. Made specifically to appeal to both men and women, it has a minimalist feel using only red, white and black on the dial face.
The watch has a slim fit, so while it has a wide face it doesn't feel chunky on the wrist making it easy to fit under a cuff when required.
Bering was conceived by Danish explorer René Kaershov. His love of the Arctic inspired him to design watches that are as pure and beautiful as the Arctic.
Each Bering watch is created to be longlasting, timelessy beautiful and elegant. The materials used are carefully selected to provide strength and durability.
Inspired by the beauty of the arctic, Bering watches are characterised by their purity of design, combined with understated strength. Less is more, as decorative elements are pared down to a minimum. Using high-quality, durable materials, including high-tech ceramic, stainless steel and sapphire glass, Bering ensures that its watches don't just exude elegance: they are also built to last.
From the start, there was to be no compromise: Bering watches had to be well built, from the best materials.
The high-tech ceramic Bering uses is comfortable to wear, scratch-resistant, feather light, heat-resistant and anti-allergic.
Bering sapphire glass offers high translucency and light refraction, enhancing the clarity of the watch face. It's also scratch-resistant and incredibly tough.
As well as being the perfect material for elegant contemporary design, the surgical steel used by Bering is the same grade as is used in medical engineering.
A special design unique to Bering uses a flat HighTech Ceramic case. This helps to keep the watch sitting flat on your wrist.
All Bering watches feature sapphire glass which is scratch resistant. Sapphire glass is used in many luxury watch brands.
Each of the watches are made from either surgical grade stainless steel or high tech ceramic.
In 2008, Danish adventurer and businessman René Kaerskov arrived by helicopter at the Arctic. The minute he jumped out of the helicopter and set foot in the vast, icy landscape, he was captivated.
On returning to Denmark, the vivid memory of the breath taking Arctic scenery stayed with him. It is this vision, of a never-ending white horizon, that inspired the Bering brand. He conceived an idea: to create a collection of watches that were 'as pure, clear and breathtakingly beautiful as the Arctic'.
With business partners Michael Witt Johansen and Lars Gram-Skjønnemann, he embraced this challenge. Ultimately, the team came up with Bering, a watch brand with a simple, linear style, along with impressive durability.
Bering watches were always designed to be an accessible brand. Despite the use of premium quality materials, including high-tech ceramic, sapphire glass and stainless steel, they are affordable, with prices starting at around £100.Back to Home from Bering Watches

Series: Dealing With The IRS Collection Division
© by Burton J. Haynes, Esq.
This is the fourth in a series of articles about dealing with the IRS Collection Division. In previous articles we discussed innocent spouse relief, installment agreements, and offers in compromise. All of these are useful techniques for dealing with tax liabilities which should not be collected from your client, or which exceed your client's ability to pay. But there are situations in which these devices are unavailable, inappropriate or inadequate. And in these cases, relief can sometimes be obtained through bankruptcy. Bankruptcy can be useful in contesting the amount or validity of a tax liability when other judicial forum cannot be used. And most importantly, a properly timed and structured bankruptcy can discharge many tax liabilities, thus giving a financially distressed individual a "fresh start."
Right up front we need to address a common misconception. More than a few otherwise knowledgeable accountants and lawyers will vigorously assert that taxes are not subject to discharge in bankruptcy. For certain tax debts which enjoy a "priority" status under the Bankruptcy Code, this is true. But under the proper circumstances, many tax liabilities lose their priority status, and enjoy no greater protection from discharge than debts owed to any other creditor. In the pages below we will discuss the statutory provisions differentiating priority from nonpriority taxes so that you will be able to tell which tax liabilities are potentially subject to discharge and which are not. And while no article of this length can possibly make you an expert in the tax aspects of bankruptcy, it is hoped that you will at least come away with an increased sensitivity for those situations in which bankruptcy might present a useful alternative worthy of further exploration.2
Types of Bankruptcies.
Two forms of bankruptcy are typically used by individuals:3 Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.4
A Chapter 7 is a traditional "liquidating" bankruptcy. A trustee is appointed for the principal purpose of protecting the unsecured creditors. Secured creditors don't require the same degree of judicial concern -- they have already protected themselves by becoming secured creditors in the first place. Under the supervision of the trustee, and subject to certain statutory exemptions, the debtor's assets are marshalled and sold.5 Assets which are fully encumbered by the claims of secured creditors are usually abandoned by the trustee to the secured creditors or to the debtor, subject to those liens, since such fully encumbered assets are of no benefit to the unsecured creditors.
A Chapter 13 is for a small debtor with regular income who can make monthly payments against his or her debts. In order to "qualify" to use Chapter 13, a debtor must have unsecured debts of less than $269,250 and secured debts of less than $807,750.6 Under a Chapter 13 "plan," the debtor makes monthly payments to a trustee, who distributes the money, less a commission, to the creditors.7 To be "confirmable," a Chapter 13 plan must provide for the full payment of all priority debts.8 At the conclusion of the required series of monthly payments, all dischargeable debts which remain unpaid are discharged.9
Separate Taxable Estate.
Under Internal Revenue Code §1398, added by the Bankruptcy Tax Act of 1980, the filing of a bankruptcy petition by an individual under Chapter 7 creates an "estate" which is treated as a separate taxable entity.10 The estate files its own tax returns and pays taxes on its own income.11 The transfer of an asset between the debtor and the estate is not treated as a disposition, and thus typically has no separate tax consequences. In contrast, while the filing of a Chapter 13 action creates an estate for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the estate is not treated as a separate taxable entity for tax purposes.
Treatment of Tax Attributes.
It is important to know that in addition to receiving the debtor's assets, a Chapter 7 estate succeeds to the debtor's "tax attributes."12 This includes the basis, character and holding period of assets, net operating losses, capital losses, suspended passive losses, and various tax credits. These transfers are deemed to occur as of the first day of the debtor's taxable year in which the petition is filed. Because these tax attributes are transferred to the bankruptcy estate, they are thereafter no longer available to the debtor. The estate also succeeds to the debtor's right to file refund claims to recover taxes paid in prepetition years.13 At the conclusion of the bankruptcy case, the estate's unused tax attributes are transferred back to the debtor.14 Planning how to best structure and time the proposed bankruptcy in light of these attribute transfer and reduction rules requires both a thorough knowledge of the rules and more than a little creativity.
Election to Close Tax Year.
The filing of a bankruptcy petition does not cut off the debtor's tax year.15 This means that if a petition is filed late in the year, the debtor can be left with responsibility for taxes on his prepetition income, even though his assets are transferred to his bankruptcy estate upon filing of the petition. However, an election to bifurcate the debtor's tax year is available.16 If the election is made, the debtor's taxable year ends on the day before the petition is filed, and a new taxable year starts on the petition date. Deciding whether to make this election is an important issue which can have a significant impact on the outcome of the case. In essence, the election permits the debtor to shift responsibility to the estate for taxes on income earned before the petition date.
Where the estate has assets which might otherwise be applied to debts owed to general unsecured creditors (including dischargeable tax debts for earlier years), bifurcating the tax year can cause those assets to be applied instead to the taxes owed for the short prepetition year -- taxes which if unpaid would survive the bankruptcy to be paid out of the debtor's postpetition income. The election also permits the debtor to use his tax attributes, such as the basis in depreciable assets and net operating loss carryforwards, to reduce the tax on the prepetition income. Absent the election, these tax attributes would be lost as of January 1st of the year in which the petition is filed, as explained above.
As with so many other aspects of the complex interface between bankruptcy law and tax law, the IRC §1398(d)(2) election presents both planning opportunities and traps for the unwary. The election must be made on or before the due date of the tax return for the short pre-petition year, and this date cannot be extended. Furthermore, the election is irrevocable once made.17 The return for a tax reportable on an annual basis is typically due by the 15th day of the fourth month following the close of the year. Because in this situation the taxable year can end on a day other than the end of a month, the filing deadline for the short year is the 15th day of the fourth full month following the petition date.18
Effect of Bankruptcy on IRS Collection Action.
Filing a bankruptcy petition is like holding a crucifix in front of a vampire. Immediately upon filing, an "automatic stay" arises under BC §362(a), and all IRS enforced collection action must cease.19 As soon as it learns of the filing of a bankruptcy petition, the IRS posts its computer system with a "bankruptcy hold" code to avoid inadvertent violation of the automatic stay. Nevertheless, because of changes made by the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1994, the IRS is now allowed to take some limited steps to determine and assess tax debts despite the filing of a petition. The permitted actions include the following:
It is unfortunately true, however, that the IRS routinely violates the automatic stay. Usually this is the result of inadequacies in the IRS's computer system.20 Like the malevolent computer HAL in the movie "2001 - A Space Odyssey," the IRS computer system often proceeds with automated collection action despite the posting of a bankruptcy hold code:
IRS's failure to correct known, glaring weaknesses in its internal controls which cause it to repeatedly violate the automatic stay constitutes bad faith and an arrogant defiance of the majesty of the Federal Law which has embodied 11 U.S.C. section 362 as its "fundamental protection" to debtors in bankruptcy. In re Flynn, 169 B.R. at 1024.
A typical computerized action violating the automatic stay is the Service's practice of offsetting a current period refund against a prior period delinquency. Even though the Internal Revenue Manual acknowledges that the automatic stay bars refund offsets unless and until a lift stay order is obtained from the Bankruptcy Court, it is not uncommon to find that the IRS has offset a postpetition refund against a prepetition tax debt. In an effort to convince the IRS to be more punctilious about such matters, the new IRS Restructuring and Reform Act allows damages of up to $1,000,000 for violations of the automatic stay.21
When a Revenue Officer learns of the filing of a bankruptcy petition, he or she packs up the case file and ships it to the Special Procedures Office.22 Special Procedures then files a proof of claim in the bankruptcy case when appropriate and, in consultation with District Counsel when necessary, determines what other actions are needed to protect the government's interests. The automatic stay remains in place until the discharge is entered at the conclusion of the case. At that point the automatic stay is converted into a permanent injunction barring any effort on the part of a creditor, including the IRS, to collect a discharged debt.
Secured vs. Unsecured.
In bankruptcy, the Internal Revenue Service, despite its Draconian collection powers, is just another creditor. It can be secured creditor if a Notice of Federal Tax Lien has been filed. Or it can be an unsecured creditor if no lien has been filed. Finally, the IRS can be partially secured and partially unsecured if a lien has been filed but the amount of tax owed exceeds the taxpayer's equity in the property covered by the lien.23
Priority vs. Nonpriority.
Apart from the question of whether the IRS is secured or unsecured, tax debts (like other debts) have to be categorized as to their priority. Certain taxes are given a higher priority in bankruptcy than that of most other commonly encountered debts. Section 507(a)(8) of the Bankruptcy Code gives this priority status to income taxes under the following circumstances, thus effectively making them nondischargeable in the typical Chapter 7 bankruptcy:
507(a)(8)(A)(i) -- Taxes are nondischargeable if the return was last due (with extension) less than three years prior to the filing of the bankruptcy petition.
507(a)(8)(A)(ii) -- Taxes are nondischargeable if assessed less than 240 days prior to the filing of the bankruptcy petition (with this 240 days being extended for the period of time an offer in compromise is pending, plus 30 days).
A third important timing rule, applicable in Chapter 7 cases but not in Chapter 13, is found in BC §523(a)(1)(B):
523(a)(1)(B) -- Taxes are nondischargeable if the tax return was not filed, or was filed less than two years prior to the filing of the bankruptcy petition.24
Thus, as with so many things in life, timing is everything. Income tax debts which are nondischargable today may be dischargeable tomorrow. These timing rules can be the basis for the effective planning in preparing for the use of bankruptcy to obtain relief for a financially pressed taxpayer. But they also pose the threat of indefensible malpractice claims against those who fail to consider their impact. For example, the accountant or attorney who participates in the filing of a bankruptcy case for a client a week before his or her tax debts would have been dischargeable under the above-described rules may later find himself with both an unhappy client and a claim against his malpractice insurance policy. This is an area in which it pays to be very, very careful.
Nondischargeable Taxes.
In addition to those income taxes made nondischargeable by the above-described timing rules, the Bankruptcy Code provides that certain specified kinds of taxes are nondischargeable regardless of when the petition is filed.
First, under BC §507(a)(8)(C), withholding tax liabilities are given a priority sufficient to make them nondischargeable. This covers a direct obligation for withholding taxes as well as indirect responsibility through the so-called "trust fund recovery penalty." Unfortunately, this rule denies relief to many taxpayers faced with truly unmanageable debts stemming from their involvement in failed businesses. Nevertheless, BC §507(a)(8)(C) is cruelly unambiguous on this subject, giving priority to "a tax required to be collected or withheld and for which the debtor is liable in any capacity." This same language also prevents the discharge of a liability for sales taxes which were collected, or which should have been collected, by the debtor.
Second, BC §523(a)(C) bars the discharge of debts, including tax debts, arising due to fraud:
(a) a discharge . . . does not discharge an individual debtor from any debt--
(1) for a tax or customs duty--
(C) with respect to which the debtor made a fraudulent return or willfully attempted in any manner to evade or defeat such tax.
Note, however, that this rule does not apply to Chapter 13 cases, thus making it possible to discharge even taxes resulting from fraud if the taxpayer can meet the jurisdictional requirements of Chapter 13. The reason for the difference is that Chapter 13 discharges are granted under BC §1328(a), which protects only debts described in §523(a)(5)(8) and (9), and not those described in §523(a)(1)(C). This is the same reason that the "two year from date of filing" rule of §523(a)(1)(B) doesn't apply to Chapter 13 cases.25 These subtle but important statutory differences can be crucial in determining the appropriate kind of bankruptcy to be used in any given case.
Equitable Considerations.
Overriding all of these statutory timing issues is the question of "bad faith." The Bankruptcy Court is a court of equity, and can deny a debtor a discharge either in response to a motion from the IRS or sui sponte (i.e. on the Court's own initiative). This can occur when the Court is convinced that the debtor could pay at least a portion of the debts in question, but is instead inappropriately hiding behind the Bankruptcy Code and acting unjustly toward his or her creditors. For example, in In re Zuercher, 93 TNT 57-23 (Bankr. D. Hawaii 1993), the Court had little sympathy for a dentist with an "extravagant lifestyle" who had filed a previous bankruptcy case and took numerous actions designed to thwart his creditors. The Court denied the discharge, stating that "a person seeking relief under the Code must come in with clean hands, with an honorable purpose, and must be willing to use all of his resources to, at least, try to pay his creditors."
Fortunately, bad faith is most often raised by the IRS in cases involving tax protesters. Thus, in In re Paulson, 170 B.R. 496 (Bankr. D. Conn. 1994), the Court observed that "[a]ll courts . . . have concluded that the use of Chapter 13 by so-called tax protesters in an attempt to discharge their federal tax liabilities amounts to an unfair manipulation of the Bankruptcy Code."26 Similarly, several bankruptcy courts have held that the debtor's refusal to file income tax returns constitutes bad faith.27 Also, the fact that a bankruptcy is directed at a single creditor (such as the IRS) is often a factor in finding bad faith.28 Accordingly, before advising a client to seek relief from tax debts in bankruptcy, all the facts and circumstances must be carefully reviewed.
After the Discharge.
In the perfect case, upon entry of the discharge order the taxpayer would have no further obligations to the IRS, and would have thus achieved a complete fresh start. In the typical case, however, two problems often remain after the discharge. First, some taxes may survive the bankruptcy, and will therefore have to be addressed in the normal way. These might be taxes which were too new to be dischargeable, or which were of a kind not subject to discharge. And second, some dischargeable taxes may have been secured by liens. In this situation, while the client's personal liability for the taxes is discharged, the lien nevertheless continues as a valid encumbrance on the taxpayer's property. In other words, a distinction is drawn between the in personam liability, which is discharged, and the in rem claim against the assets covered by the lien, which survives.
Resolving Tax Problems Through Bankruptcy.
Having recited all of these complex rules, how does bankruptcy compare to other available approaches in securing relief from unmanageable tax debts? This is a fact-driven determination, and each case must be analyzed very carefully. There is no set answer which will be right in every case or for every client. All you can do is carefully assemble the facts and apply the relevant statutory rules to see where the client would come out under each approach. Nevertheless, some general observations can be made.
First, note that a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a one-time, snapshot event. It looks at the debtor's assets and liabilities, and provides a fresh start by wiping out all dischargeable debts which exceed the value of the nonexempt assets. Hence, anticipated future income has no bearing on the matter, and no future monthly payments are required. By contrast, in an offer in compromise future income is an important factor. A taxpayer's ability to make payments to the Service from future income figures directly into the amount which must be offered before the IRS will accept the compromise offer. And note that the portion of the offer amount representing the present value of the future ability to pay must typically be funded from some outside source -- often a loan or gift from a family member. In Chapter 7, there is no obligation to fund any payment to creditors in excess of the value of the nonexempt, unencumbered assets.
Second, sometimes there are significant differences in the way assets are treated in bankruptcy versus in an offer in compromise. For example, a taxpayer may be married and yet have a tax debt for which his spouse is not liable. This can occur when the taxpayer owes income taxes for years prior to the marriage, or for years for which separate returns were filed.29 For purposes of an offer in compromise, the amount offered typically must include at least 50% of the equity in tenants by the entireties property, even if only one spouse owes tax and the property is clearly beyond the Collection Division's reach! In bankruptcy, by contrast, if only one spouse files a petition, such jointly owned property can be exempted from the debtor's bankruptcy estate. Jointly held property can be administered by the trustee for the benefit of joint creditors, even where only one spouse files bankruptcy. However, where the debts in question are owed by only one spouse there are no joint debts, and hence the tenants by the entireties property is off the table. In such cases a bankruptcy can yield a much better result than might be available through an offer in compromise.
Third, while an offer in compromise may do the job with respect to a client's federal tax liabilities, people who are in trouble with the IRS often have many other debts as well -- large credit card balances, bank loans, state tax liabilities, and more. Obviously, the offer in compromise involves only the IRS, and does nothing to solve these other significant financial difficulties. In contrast, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy addresses all of the debtor's liabilities, and therefore may be a much better choice for providing the "fresh start" the client needs.
On the other hand, some cases involve tax debts which are partially or entirely nondischargeable -- either because they are too "new" to meet one or more of the three time-related tests described above, or because the taxes are of a type not subject to discharge regardless of timing, e.g. withholding taxes or trust fund liabilities. In these cases, an offer in compromise might provide more relief to the taxpayer than would be available from a bankruptcy.
Finally, in most cases it is not a question of which single approach produces the best result on its own, but rather which combination of devices can be brought to bear on the taxpayer's problems and in what order. For example, often clients have to wait out the passage of the §507(a)(8)(A) and 523(a)(1)(B) time periods, and therefore will have to enter into installment agreements to make orderly and regular payments against their tax debts for some period of months or years to avoid the pain and suffering of IRS levy and distraint action. In other cases, the various dischargeability dates work out such that the client can at least try an offer in compromise while waiting for the taxes to lose their priority status. If the compromise is accepted, it can be used to solve the tax problem. But if it is rejected, the client can then use bankruptcy to discharge the liabilities.
In addition to combining bankruptcy with administrative remedies like installment agreements and/or offers in compromise, it is also possible to combine bankruptcies. Most notably, under present law it is possible to use a Chapter 13 in combination with a Chapter 7 -- described by some wags as a "Chapter 20." The approach is as follows: The Chapter 7 is first used to strip off those debts (including tax debts) which are subject to discharge in that case. Then a Chapter 13 is used to either discharge the remaining debts or to provide a vehicle through which they can be satisfied by monthly payments, free of late payment penalties and the threat of enforced IRS collection action. As noted above, Chapter 13 has jurisdictional limits which may make it unavailable to some debtors -- a maximum of $269,250 of unsecured debts and $807,750 of secured debts. There are no such limitations in Chapter 7. But under the right circumstances, sometimes the Chapter 7 can strip down the debts so that those which survive are small enough for the debtor to fit within the Chapter 13 limitations. Obviously, this is a very complex technique requiring both extremely careful planning based on a full understanding of the facts, and a long process of implementation before the desired results are achieved. In certain circumstances, however, the "Chapter 20" approach can provide relief for taxpayers who could have solved their problems in no other way.
In combining these bankruptcy and nonbankruptcy techniques, it is important to note that they have interesting and complex effects on one another. In particular, the above-described §507(a)(8) and §523(a)(1) time periods are in some cases extended. One such effect was mentioned above -- specifically, while §507(a)(8) requires that the taxes have been assessed for 240 days before the filing of the bankruptcy petition, the running of this 240 day period is suspended for the time an offer in compromise is pending, plus 30 days. Furthermore, all three of the statutory time periods are extended for the time any prior bankruptcy case was open, plus six months.30 These extension rules can make the determination of the relevant bankruptcy priority dates very tricky indeed.
Of all the techniques addressed by this series of articles on dealing with the IRS Collection Division, using bankruptcy to resolve tax liabilities is by far the most complex. It should not be approached without consulting specialists thoroughly familiar with the relevant issues. However, in the appropriate circumstances and after proper planning, bankruptcy can provide relief which is simply not available in any other way, and can enable financially strapped clients to put their problems behind them and start over. It is not for everyone, but for some it can produce miraculous results.

Report for the Team Problem Solving final – Phill Beckett
The fourth final of this event which is the only event of its type in the world where teams discuss the solutions showed how far the standard had risen! On seventeen occasions teams scored full marks in a section. The problems provided by Brian Stephenson were a nice variety of challenges and all teams enjoyed the five rounds of solving.
On arrival at Imperial College the teams were presented with three chess problems from Jonathan Mestel who produced his normal well-polished and thoughtful talk on how to solve the positions by careful and thorough analysis. He kept the audience of over 70 chess players and various coaches and teachers entertained with his oratory. After a delightful lunch provided by Imperial staff who were again helpful and accommodating, both the Problem solvers and the Team Challenge players got down to the serious business of their competitions.
The first round always is seen as a gentle warm up for the serious business of the day and so it proved with all the teams scoring full marks (these were one move checkmates which are always popular). The more serious two movers proved more of a challenge with two teams failing to find the key move in one position. The next two rounds self and help mates proved more of a challenge where teams had to produce detailed analysis and dual solutions. Entering the last round three teams Judd, Chepstow and St. Pauls were on 100% split only on tie break. The last round proved decisive with Judd scoring 10 and taking the title. Chepstow took second place on tie break from St. Pauls.
1st – Judd 70
2nd – Chepstow 60 (total time 91 mins)
3rd – St Pauls 60 (total time 104 mins)
4th – Sevenoaks School 56.5
5th – Skinners 51
6th – Hymers College 41
7th – Kings Grantham 38
The winning teams were presented with medals by Jonathan Mestel (double GM and former world and British Problem-solving Champion)
A thoroughly enjoyable and competitive event.
This unique competition is mainly conducted at school's own premises. The idea is find the key moves which deliver mate in the stated number of moves. There are two preliminary rounds and any team that scores full marks in both rounds will be offered a place at the final to be held in conjunction with the team challenge at Imperial College in April 2018. We do hope that you will have a go.

I attended an actual church service today (by choice!) for the first time in many, many years. This journey of life is mostly spiritual, and there's nothing like a life-threatening illness to force you into reflective thinking about "religion." I was raised a fundamental Baptist and I can tell you, that's not for me. My husband and I raised our children in a non-denominational church that we LOVED and was perfect for us until a major shakeup changed it's course, and we quietly left (as did many others, some not so quietly). Since that time I do not attend church at all. If I enter an evangelical-type church I feel triggered and traumatized. So, it's a brave thing for me just to go when I have no idea what to expect.
As I was lying in bed more than not over the last 4-1/2 years, I've had plenty of time to assess my spirituality. I am not going to go into detail here because it's such a personal topic and I don't want to offend. But I believe it is absolutely necessary to reflect on our spirits and what this life is about, whether you choose organized religion or not. I don't think anyone EVER arrives at THE ANSWER that is 100% correct; in fact, people who do really scare me. There's always mystery. Always. And for me, that's part of the beauty in it.
I loved the church I attended today, just loved it. I had thoroughly researched it ahead of time and it was perfect for me. I wrote a letter to church leaders asking to meet so I can get my questions answered. There were many friendly faces there. Who'd have ever thought, but I think I'll be joining this church. It's just so right for me at this period of time. I hope each of you also finds your perfect place, and that's so deeply personal. But the important thing is to simply seek. Be a seeker and find your sacred place where your soul is nourished.

In a time of universal deceit, the truth is a revolutionary act" – George Orwell
Parents Don't Have The Right To Choose The Education For Their Children
for 'THE BOTTOM LINE':
Published April 25, 2015
West Virginia students are being suspended for opting out of Common Core Tests.
"Parents don't have the right to pick and choose the provisions of public education in which they feel they want to comply with." Said Superintendent Mark Manchin. "Show me in the Constitution where it says parents have the right to dictate how their children are to be educated".
An Open letter to Mr. Manchin Superintendent of Schools in the District of Harrison County West Virginia USA…
Dear Mr. Manchin,
Oh! Mr. District Superintendent Manchin, with all due respect, let me teach you just a little bit about America, and its Constitutional law.
First, it is so obvious to me that you Mr. Manchin have not had an education yourself, but have obviously been robotically programed with the same Nazi garbage that you are now vomiting out on little unsuspecting innocent children who don't know any better. Well Mr. robotically programed superintendent Manchin, I am not little, and not a child, I am a grownup, and an American, who knows just a little something about Constitutional law.
Second: I don't know just what Constitution you have read Mr. Manchin if you have even read one, but my American Constitution says just the opposite, and that is, that it's the government… that has absolutely no right to dictate the type of education that the PEOPLE will receive. Try reading the 9th Amendment, it's really interesting, it says:
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." I'll explain slowly Mr. Manchin because I know robots can't read fast. It means that just because every human right that God gave us, mention in the Declaration of independence, isn't listed in the Constitution, it doesn't mean that we the people of these United States of America do not have them. We, my robotic friend have all the rights in the universe that are not granted to the government by the Constitution.
That brings to mind the 10th Amendment Mr. Manchin, which states "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
So, Mr. Manchin I will ask 'you' to show 'me' where in the Constitution does it say that the Federal government, that dictates the standardization of Common Core has any authority to do so??? You see unlike the 9th amendment where all the rights of "the people" do not have to be listed, in the 10th Amendment it says all the rights of the Federal Government does have to be listed. And guess what? Education is not listed in the Constitution of the United States of America as one of its powers, period…
So Mr. Manchin, you really need to go to school and actually learn something about real history that hasn't been rewritten by Communist Core. May I recommend Hillsdale University in Michigan. It's the college that taught me Constitutional law.
Thanks for your attention to this matter Mr. Manchin
Yours Truly - de Andréa
Eric Madia posted his thoughts after receiving a phone call from the principal:
I just received a phone call from Liberty High School's principle regarding my decision to opt Joshua out of the common… Posted on Face Book by Eric L Madia on Thursday, April 23, 2015
Superintendent Mark Manchin called into the Mike Queen show on WAJR and confirmed that actions would be taken against students who opt out, saying it would not allow kids to opt out of other rules that the school has, such as smoking in front of the school.
Manchin also compared opting out to driving 80 mph down the highway. He added, "We simply can not allow them to opt out."
"If we allow that door to open, where people can unilaterally decide what parts of public education they adhere to and which they don't, I think we're creating a system that will be very, very difficult to work with."
He added, "Parents don't have the right to pick and choose the provisions of public education in which they feel they want to comply with."
Manchin says "We will send a message to all the parents here in Harrison County." I spoke to Mr. Madia after his Facebook post who said he will not back down on this issue. "I am going to instruct my child to not take the test," Madia said. "He will not be punished."

Comment: to this post.
This Manchin brings to mind the Nazis who would dictate to parents what their kids are going to do and report their parents if they speak against socialist like Manchin. Manchin needs to realize the Constitution does exist and the parents dictate to their employees (IE the Schools) what is expected out of them not what the employer is to do. This dictatorial type of administrator of the wishes of the people needs an education in what America is about so he might realize he isn't in a communist country.
THE BOTTOM LINE: All parents in all the schools in all the counties in all these many states should pull their kids out of the Communist public schools. Guess what under the present law they would all' go broke. End of problem and end of article…
Thanks for listening – de Andréa

You can use a lot of vegetables and fruits for juicing, which is a delicious way of getting healthy beverages. Juicing also gives you all the benefits of fresh produce and it is healthier than juice that is frozen or bottled juice. Fresh juice will be a very tasty and healthy treat.
Add cucumber to dark leafy greens for improved flavor. Many leafy greens have a distinct and slight unpleasant flavor. Cucumber can mask the unpleasant taste and add a refreshing flavor of its own.
If you are juicing apples, find the sweetest, sweetest ones you can find. If you are going to use bruised apples, be sure to cut the bruises out prior to juicing.
The healthiest color for your body is green, spinach, parsley, broccoli, and chard in order to provide your body healthy nutrients. The ratio you're going for is something around 50-70% when it comes to greens for your juices, with other elements added for flavor. Juices made from fruits tend to contain more unhealthy sugar than greens-based juices.
Drink your fresh juice slowly to fully enjoy its flavor.
You should think of your juice as a meal replacement. Once you see the amount of food that goes into a glass of juice, it will be easier to do.
Use the color of your fruits and vegetables to help you figure out which nutrients they provide.From bright reds to vibrant greens, different colored vegetables and fruits contain different minerals and nutrients. Using different colored produce will give you a full range of nutrients and different flavors.
After you're done juicing, it is always a good idea to rinse the juicer as soon as possible.
Juicing vegetables is another way to get your kids excited about healthy foods into a child who won't eat them whole. Many kids out there just do not big fans of vegetables. You can make a great tasting vegetable and fruit juice, and thereby sneak vegetables into a child's diet by obscuring the fact that they are consuming them through their drink.
Each fruit and vegetables contain different vitamins and vitamins. You will get the right nutrients and be able to enjoy a tasty drink.
You can get ride of pulp in juice by using a coffee filter to strain out the pulp. You might not like the consistent pulp some juices will create.
Making excess juice to bottle and refrigerate is very handy, but you need to take steps to prevent the juice from changing colors.
If it takes you 10 minutes to assemble the juicer, you will avoid using it. Clean the juicer as soon as you are done using it since moist pulp is easier to get rid of.
Use cranberries in your juicing routine if you are having any bladder problems. Use them as soon as you have these issues.
Watch how your own system reacts to the juice drinks that you drink juices. You may drink a particular juice that your body. If one juice makes you uneasy or queasy, study the ingredients for anything unusual. You can then use smaller amounts to let your body adjust to them.
Ginger is the Earth's miracle-plant for soothing gastrointestinal system. Ginger has anti-inflammatory properties and can also help with stomach ulcers and acid reflux.
Less Nutrients
To get the most health benefits from juices, you should understand that the longer juice sits there, the less nutrients are present. The longer you take to consume it, the less nutrients you'll receive. Therefore, to ensure that you receive the most nutrients, you will receive the most benefit from it.
Include a large amount of negative calorie fruits and vegetables in order to create a nutritious juice that there is little need for fat-burning. These would be things such as kale, such as herbs, broccoli, and broccoli.
Juicing at least once a day with these ingredients will help keep you regular.
Certain citrus fruits, like oranges or tangerines, often require a different machine when juicing. Also, be careful when you use melon, as it usually tastes pretty awful when combined with other fruits.
Do not get too extreme with your juices! You don't need to blend five kinds of vegetables in order to create a nutritious vegetable juice. Use about two or maybe three to along with an apple to sweeten it up. You should also combine two or three ingredients when making a juice.
The amount of pulp depends on the ingredients you have used. You can put it back into your next batch of juice to add more fiber.
Avoid fruits that are too sweet when you make your own juice.Although they are delicious, they are high in sugar and could raise your blood sugar to unhealthy levels. A good alternative would be to use vegetables that you can enjoy. You can put some fruits in your juice every now and again, but they should be avoided for the most part.
Are you getting tired of your smoothie blends?
When you are juicing veggies, start only with the vegetables that you would enjoy eating whole.
This is so if your body doesn't respond well to it, you will be able to tell which vegetable caused your stomach irritation and eliminate that vegetable in the future.
There are many ways to add juicing to your current diet. It makes an excellent snack or meal supplement. In addition, incorporating fresh juice into your daily health regimen is beneficial in a variety of ways. You can start juicing for fitness today.

|Shepherd Beta Model.
|Sangheili Zombie, Zealot Zombie
|First Encounter
|Siege of New Phoenix
Shepherds are infected Sangheili, with black armor and red lights. They wear a full body suit, and are Zealots in appearance. The only notable difference is the eyes seem to glow red.
Shepherds will rarely attack the player at certain occasions. This is entirely random, and players have a rare chance of playing as one. Their main form of attack is a melee weapon, such as an Energy Sword. At most different occasions they will carry ranged weapons. They often act as a recovery unit for Imperial soldiers, and have tactical knowledge, only armed with a red Energy Sword. Unlike the other special infected, Shepherds will act as a supporting unit, by healing it's squad or using aggressive tactics. They also have the ability to call an airstrike.
Multiplayer Survivor Tactics
- Shepherds are capable of taking down an entire squad of survivors. Players must plan accordingly to avoid losses of squad mates.
- Abilities such as Static Burst or Psychoshock will not affect Shepherds, but still cause damage to them. Players must conserve their Psi energy to avoid severe damage to squad mates, or allied forces.
- If a Shepherd attempts to flee when it has reached low health, players must pursue it before it can escape.
- Shepherds will also call a horde when it's health is halved. The best tactic is to target the horde first.
- Melee weapons are ineffective against Shepherds, even on Easy.
Multiplayer Infected Tactics
- If the player is a different infected, and a Shepherd is present, the best tactic is to defend the Shepherd.
- The airstrike has a cool down to prevent spamming. Only use the airstrike when absolutely necessary, as an airstrike will also kill infected.
- The Shepherd's weapon is ineffective against larger targets. If possible, use a ranged weapon.
- Shepherds have the ability to kill a player who is infected if they are not cooperating. However, the ability prevents the Shepherd from killing the other infected who cooperate. This is to prevent team killing.
- Players have a forty-five percent chance of playing as a Shepherd. Before spawning, it is best to hide somewhere in close quarters.
- Fifty percent immunity to Static Burst and Psychoshock.
- Can instantly kill low-health targets.
- A ten percent chance to spawn a boss infected when calling a horde.
- Can break doors down in two hits.
- When fleeing, speed is increased, which gives the player enough time to heal, making it difficult for survivors to kill.
- Vulnerable to Thermal Mine, Throw, Warp, Toss, Singularity, Freeze, Slam, Hack, Time Stop, Time Blast, and Viper Poison.
- Melee is ineffective against Krogan, Jiralhanae or Mgalekgolo.
- Easily killed from behind.
- Players receive damage boost when the Shepherd is spotted.
- Poor accuracy when using ranged weapons.
- Kill a Shepherd who is fleeing from a survivor.
Bolt by bolt
- As Lightenus, zap a Shepherd with Electrokinesis and have Meán Fómhair use Static Burst.
The traitor is dead
- As a Shepherd, kill another infected who is not cooperating.
Strength in numbers
- As a Shepherd, gather at least four Shepherds in the same fireteam.
No need to run
- As Arkadien, Kill an Evolved Shepherd who is fleeing.
- As Chimera, bind a Shepherd while underwater.
- Shepherds can be a serious threat if there is two on the battlefield.
- They are heavily inspired by the Kantas from Gears of War, and the Promethean Watcher from Halo 4.

The Most Instagram Worthy Cocktails in Edinburgh
Edinburgh's Most Instagram Worthy Cocktails
I must admit, I'm quite partial to a cocktail. There's something about each and every one of them being so different in style and flavour that they never seem to bore. I recently went on an Instagram cocktail tour around Edinburgh with Yelp who treated us to some of the best spots in town. Naturally a lot of these places were already hot spots on my own personal cocktail list. With a few surprises were thrown in there, and definitely worth checking out again sometime. We hunted down some of the best Instagram worthy spots in the city. From the coolest most Pinterest-worthy interiors in town, to what makes the best Instagram foodie photograph.
Panda & Sons
After a busy week at work we gathered at our first point of call, Panda & Sons. This is one of the first 'secret' cocktail bars that set up in Edinburgh, with a definite speak-easy revival going on in recent times, Panda & Sons was definitely ahead of the trends. You enter through a rather un-obvious at first glance barber shop front.
Down the stairs you'll be led to a bookcase which doubles up as a door to the underground bar. As if that wasn't already the coolest, wait until you get inside. It's quite dark inside now that you're officially underground, and you feel like you've been transported back in time. Take a seat in one of the barber shop chairs or booths and nibble on some popcorn whilst you deliberate over their cocktails laid out like a storybook. Try the apple and whisky dapper for a traditional cocktail with a twist, or go for something completely different with one of their more experimental cocktails.
Hoot the Redeemer
Another claim by the folks who run Panda & Sons, Hoot the Redeemer is another fun unique secret bar you'll find in the centre of the city. Transport yourself into a whirlwind time warp in the 1950s where you're inside a fun fair themed bar, whilst being greeted at the door to reveal your fortune. Take your chances on the claw crane machine to pick out your cocktail flavour combinations or try something more classic with a fun twist from the menu. We went for one of the slushy cocktails whilst eyeing up their alcoholic ice cream on offer.
Secret Arcade Bar
Moving on through our tour to Cockburn Street, we reached the Secret Arcade Bar. Not to be confused with arcade machines, the Arcade Bar is hidden down one for the side streets off Cockburn street in an old arcade itself. There's over 100 vodkas to try to it's specialty is a space-age molecular cocktails. If vodka is your favourite spirit this is definitely the place for you.
Bramble Bar
One of Edinburgh's most coveted cocktail bars, you'll find Bramble tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the streets above, Bramble has an extensive cocktail list including some of their own originals. It's hard to get into and you might find yourself booking weeks ahead if you're not luck on the day. Classed as one of the top 50 bars in the world, it's most definitely worth stopping by for a cocktail..or five!
Under the Stairs
One of our final places on our cocktail tour was Under the Stairs. This is somewhere that I've easily passed hundreds of times and never noticed. You'll find it quite literally hidden away in the basement. Inside there's delightful shabby chic interiors; it's so cosy and comfortable you could easily be led to thinking you're in your own home. For somewhere with a relaxed vibe and great drinks you should check out Under the Stairs. Make an evening of it and check out their food menu with home comforts and the perfect accompaniment to cocktails.
All drinks were complimentary and provided by the bars taking part in the Yelp Edinburgh photo walk. All views and thoughts are my own.

Ratings and Reviews
Good effort
I should have listened to the reviewer warning me not to download this app. It is addictive. I've deleted it twice so I can get other work done. But I keep coming back to it.
Other reviewers mentioned that the app is glitchy, that is true, also. It will freeze occasionally, quit for no reason and the speed up button won't come up for a long time. Perhaps you can make the speed up button permanent, so you can speed up when you are ready; maybe make it so that you can "pulse" it, so it only works when you are touching it? Please address these issues.
Also, I don't get the point of accumulating rings that, to date, I have not been able to determine if they have any real worth. It is not even meaningful in terms of your skill at playing the game. Sometimes, attempting to get more rings distracts you from breaking blocks lower on the screen and you end up losing the game.
The blocks appear with an assigned point value, so why not accumulate points as you break blocks? For instance, a 60 point block gets you a point per strike and a bonus when you break it. Larger blocks give you a larger bonus, or if its lower down on the screen you get a larger bonus. Perhaps you can get another bonus when you clear the whole board. Now you have something to look forward to.
Maybe you make the speed button an in app purchase either with cash or by accumulating a certain number of points. With more points, you can get the pulse function, more points and it becomes permanent.
Very Addicting! But some problems I'd like fixed
The game is very fun. But I can't give 5 stars because of some things. First I think that the restart button should have a confirmation added to it so when I leave the game I don't restart by accident. Second when you go into the "how to play" it shows triangle blocks which I have not seen in the game.(I don't know if haven't gotten far enough my current record is only 130) Thirdly their is a button below the how to play button that I don't understand it has a lock and 3 stars under it and can't find anything about it in game and on the internet. I would like something in the game that would explain that please. Lastly with the speed up option. I have read some other reviews and they would like a skip to end of round option as well. While I think it defeats the visual effect it shows with the balls moving and hitting blocks and the numbers going down. But when I think about it when you manage to get to 500 it must take a long time even with speed up to finish a round. I think that you should buy upgrades for only speed up and have to buy a skip option with rings so they have more of a point of getting them then just to buy different balls to use.
If you could fix these things in the next update or even next few I think that it would definitely make the game better and more fun to play in the long term.
Fun until you get good...
This game is so fun and I am definitely addicted to it. However, I have two problems. Number one is the restart button which a lot of other people have had concerns about. I was at 2500 and had been playing that single game for about 2 months when I accidentally pressed the restart button. My life was over and it had no meaning anymore. So please get rid of this button, it is completely useless and only messes me up. Number two is a concern about the speed up button. Although it is very helpful, when you get up to the thousands like me, it really does nothing. It speeds it up a little but waiting for the balls to finish still takes a very long time. So I suggest you either put a super sonic button where it all goes in like 3 seconds or you can press a button when it is all done. This could be an option when you get to the thousands because honestly I love this game but I get so bored just sitting there and watching the balls for forever. This would also help out with when there is one ball left hitting one block until it breaks, because waiting for that kills me too. I always end up having to put my phone down and watch a show for like 10 minutes until it's done. Thank you and really hope these problems will be fixed!

Trent Locke and Damien Stone
Trent and Damien try out-playing each other in an old-time video game, but it's not long before the two competitors start roughhousing and all that wrestling around quickly has both men forgetting the video game challenge. Horizontal on the oriental, they kiss and rub all over each other before Damien pulls Trent's shorts down to start sucking his personal joystick. They trade places and Trent gets busy gobbling up every inch of Damien's meaty rod. Things get kinky when Damien tries sliding one of the actual joysticks up Trent's rear end but that isn't good enough. So moving right behind, Damien slams his big cock up Trent's ass and fucks him hard.

The Vedic astrology scripture Brihat Jataka by Varaha Mihira devotes a chapter on yogas for asceticism or Sanyasa yogas. This classic has been translated by prof late Sri Surya Narayana Rao of Bangalore who was the Grand father of late Dr B.V.Ramanof Astrological magazine fame.
Quoting from that ancient Indian astrology classic:
"When there are four or more powerful planets in one Bhava house, the person born with such a combination will become any one of the 7 types of sanyasi's depending on which of those planets forming the yoga is most powerful"
The seven types of Sanyasi are:
* Powerful Mars produces "Sakya" or sanyasi wearing the red cloth.
* Mercury produces "Aajivika" a sanyasi bearing eka danda. (Single Staff)
* Jupiter gives birth to "Bhikshu" ordinary sanyasi wearing the Saffron cloth and who survives by Bhiksha alone.
* Powerful Moon produces "Vriddha" a Kapaalik or one who moves about with a human skull in his hand
* Venus produces "Chakra" or sanyasi who carries a discus or wheel in his hand
* Saturn gives ride to "Nigrantha" a sanyasi remaining nude like the Naaga saadhu.
* The Sun produces "Vanyasana" a sanyasi who survives by eating roots and bulbs.
Avery important rule given for Sanyasa in Indian astrology is:
"When the ascendant lord is not aspected by any planet but aspects Saturn, or when Saturn aspects a weak Ascendant lord or when the Moon is in the Decante of Saturn and occupies navamsa of Saturn or Mars and has saturnine aspect the person will have diksha (initiation into the order of Sanyasis).
Accurate horoscopes by competent astrologers based on Indian Astrology are made available by 'The Himalayan Ashram of Vedic Astrologers' in the United States of America (US), Canada (CA), Australia (AU), New Zealand (NZ), South Africa (ZA), Japan (JP), Singapore (SG), Hong Kong (HK), Malaysia (MY), United Kingdom (England, UK), France (FR), Switzerland (CH) , Netherlands (NL), Norway (NO), Sweden (SE) and India (IN).

ROCHESTER STREETCARSNo. 16 in a series
by Charles R. Lowe
Photographers are rarely caught in a photo, but here we have a case where it happened. Steve Maguire, on one of his first trips to Rochester, has set his sights on recording car 3002 at University loop. Located at the southwest corner of the intersection of University Avenue and Culver Road, University loop in this view cannot be too far from its abandonment on August 9, 1937.* The man who has blundered into the scene at left, out of focus but looking neat and trim in his white shirt and dark tie that were de rigueur for 1930's railfans, is none other than George Slyford. Slyford made many fine photographs of Rochester streetcars, but this accidental image is the best of the known likenesses of the man himself. On the back of the original print, now in the NYMT collection, Maguire wrote the following:
NYS-3002-University loop
This print was probably sent by Maguire to John Woodbury, a Rochester railfan who no doubt accompanied Slyford and Maguire to University loop. Maguire is poking a little fun at himself for having ruined an otherwise fine shot of car 3002 with a fuzzy view of Slyford. The loss of one more perfect trolley photo is really our gain, permitting us a rare look at the men behind the cameras.

At the premises of 33, Cock Lane, Stockwell, London (1760 & 1761) an imposition practised by
Mr Parsons the owner, his wife and daughter by means of a female ventriloquist
whereby the ghost of a certain Mrs Kent was heard, whom (he wished people to suppose) had been murdered by her husband.
All London was agog with this story; but it was found out that the ghostly sounds were produced by one Anne Robinson
a servant girl employed by the Parsons, made by her rapping on a board which she took with her into bed.
The scam being detected both parents were condemned to stand in the pillory and then imprisonment.

Something to put it in.
As a knitter I sometimes feel surounded by yarn. Plastic bags from the yarn store is the most convinient way to store it, but it's not good looking! I made a few baskets to store my knitting and yarn. In addition to looing good these bags have no hard parts where the yarn can get stuck while knitting! I sell some of them in my Etsy shop.
The baskets are reversible, and one side is oilcloth. It's easy to clean them, and yyou can even use them as a fruit basket by folding it down half way! There are no end to the possible use for these versatile things. Best of all - you can fold it flat when you don't use it.

The cushion cut 101.3 carat diamond, L color VS2, sold for $4.98 million or $49,100 per carat. Suspended by a black silk cord with pave-set diamonds, the 101.3 carat diamond makes for an elegant and stunning necklace.
The total sale of 347 lots achieved $33.7 million, with 77% sold by value and 75% sold by lot. The International Head of Christie's Jewelry said that fine quality colorless diamonds achieved very strong diamond prices through international bidding.

I have been doing quite a bit of fussy cutting to pull the secondary prints out to add more variety to the total look. The mini flower print is an accent from this fabric. All of these pinks were secondary prints from the circles from the fabric above in the pink colorway.
|This one has a bit of bleeding from my printed triangle paper but it will come out when I wash it.... It also has LOTS of starch. lol it was pretty wonky after all the bending and sewing and ripping....these little1/2" triangles were a challenge.
When I am done I am going to make these super cute and fast fabric baskets that I saw today on Pink Penguin's Blog. Just what I need to organize my sewing space and practice my FMQing. Yeah. Happy Sewing, K

Isaac's Storm tells the horrfying tale of the hurricane that hit Galveston in 1900 and killed over 8,000 people. It follows the tale from the perspective of a man who was in charge of the local weather bureau office. The story is well told - tying the meteorological patterns and signs to the political background of the bureau to the awfulness of the destruction. This book will haunt my nightmares I am sure, but it was a really compelling read. 8/10.

Today is a big day in American Politics with Democrat Primary takes places in Texas and Ohio (along with Vermont and Rhode Island) that could decide the future of America. Today's result might hand the Democrat nomination to Barack Obama. Although I am not a citizen, having lived in US for the past 13 years, I think I have earned the privilege to chip in my two cents because the outcome of this election will directly affect my life.
When I first came to US for my education in 1995, a few years removed from the first Gulf War, I did not know what to expect. Would I like the country? Would I like the people? How about the culture? Sure, there was a small fear that thing might not work out for me. As it turned out, all my fears were unfounded. I had the best of time in college. I met a lot wonderful people (Americans and others alike) who I have befriended for as long as I remember, some who I regard as my own family.
I was proud to be apart of it, to be in America and be apart of what the Americans are all about. Their spirit of giving and helping made me realize there are more to America then just the bombs and the missiles. America is not about its government and its ambition of world domination. America is about its people and their ideas on how to make the world a better place for everyone to live in. That's the America the rest of the world did not get to see. That's the America I saw and I knew and I have grown to love.
Then 9/11 came along and changed everything. It changed the way we live our life. It changed how we talk. It changed how we think and act. It changed how we dream. One good thing came out of it was the country was on one united front. Then Iraq war came along and the country changed from one country united to one country divided. I haven't seen so much hatred in my entire life. Americans hate each other and the rest of the world hate Americans.
I see how fear can take the best of people. I see how evil a war can be. I hope there won't be another war of any kinds in my lifetime. I am so ashamed of what people have become. Go ahead and criticize and say leave the country if I hate it so much. I don't hate America. I have grown to love the people I have came across. How could I ever possibly hate it?
I think we have lost our identity along the way. We need a change. We demand a change. We need a candidate who can unite the country. The country is desperately in need of someone who can do just that. This is not about politic or economy or immigration or foreign policy. It's about humanity. Let the spirit of 9/11 unite us once again.

The agent includes public key cryptography that can secure transactions between parties that use incompatible security systems, according to the company.
TradeWave's agent technology, which the company claims is the first of its kind, will be used by a group of 250 electric utilities and electrical power brokers who trade capacity on transmission lines. That transmission marketplace trades $20 billion in electricity annually.
Using agent technology also means that security systems can be upgraded more easily because only the software agent needs to be changed. Altering application software for both Web browser and Web server won't be necessary, saving corporate computing departments considerable money, Tradewave officials say.
"The software agent gets inserted into the communications stream on both the client and the server side," said Alexander Cavalli, TradeWave's chief technology officer. "It doesn't matter what browser is talking to what server, because the communication goes through the agent. The agent itself contains all the security mechanisms."
That security architecture means security agents can be upgraded regularly without altering Web browser or Web server software, he said. It also means that new software applications can be added to corporate intranets without worrying about security, which will be handled by the security agent.
"We look at this as the next wave of Internet security," Cavalli said.
TradeWave's agent is in beta testing now with about a dozen customers in financial services, health care, government and telecommunications. It's due for release next month with an upgrade by year's end that plugs into the application layer of Internet protocols. Pricing has not been announced.
TradeWave, a subsidiary of SunRiver, expects its technology to be attractive to companies that have set up intranets and want to upgrade their security without scuttling their entire investment to date and start over.
Its trade agents also will make it easier for departmental intranets within larger enterprises to conform to companywide security policies, Cavalli said. TradeWave's technology also will simplify matters for companies whose employees use different Web browsers with different security protocol.
