House Ethics Committee Clears Maxine Waters in Conflict of Interest Case
Updated 5:47 p.m.
After three years, two Congresses and perhaps close to $1 million in outside legal fees, the House Ethics Committee has finally concluded its probe into alleged misconduct by Rep. Maxine Waters.
Though the committee cleared the 11-term California Democrat of misconduct, the panel convened a rare public hearing today to settle the question of whether to formally admonish Waters' chief of staff and grandson, Mikael Moore.
As of late afternoon, a source close to the committee proceedings told Roll Call that a decision would not be made before the end of the day.
It appeared that the committee was poised to issue a letter of reproval to Moore for knowingly ignoring Waters, who the committee believes explicitly instructed him not to intervene on behalf of a bank in which her husband was a stakeholder. The committee also indicated it was ready to release a report that would essentially clear Waters while finding Moore at fault.
But today's hearing was an opportunity for Moore to make his case, defend his actions and maintain his innocence against charges he knowingly exercised a conflict of interest. The delay in transmitting the reproval letter and the report, based on findings by outside counsel Billy Martin, could indicate that the committee is considering taking a different route.
"No final vote or conclusion has been made in this matter," said acting chairman Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) at the opening of the hearing. "The committee takes this hearing very seriously, and is open to having Mr. Moore persuade us that the [draft report] and potential conclusions we are considering are wrong."
Waters had been facing charges for using her influence as a senior member of the House Ethics Committee to curry favor for OneUnited Bank with Treasury Department officials. The committee ultimately determined that she took all appropriate actions to avoid a conflict and exonerated her of the allegations.
Moore is facing two formal changes of House ethics rules violations, according to his attorney, Andrew Herman: bringing discredit to the House and using a Congressional office to accrue a personal gain. He is also facing allegations of violating a section of the Code of Ethics for Government Service, which prohibits government employees from"accept[ing] for himself or his family, favors or benefits under circumstances which might be construed by reasonable persons as influencing the performance of his governmental duties."
At the hearing, which was requested by Moore, Waters and her husband, Sidney Williams, sat in the front row behind the witness table where Moore and Herman were seated. Moore argued that the committee, in its own findings, determined that the chronology of events was unknown and because of that, it was not possible to say for certain whether Moore knowingly disregarded Waters' instructions.
However, former testimony and correspondence suggests that Moore did, or at least should have, known it was against House rules to pursue legislation on behalf of an organization in which the Member he was working for had a stake.
"We are troubled by the fact that Mr. Moore's testimony raises substantial issues of credibility," Martin said.
A letter of reproval from the committee would not be the harshest form of punishment the Ethics panel could hand down. It would, however, be a blemish on Moore's reputation.
For that reason, Rep. Steven LaTourette (R-Ohio), a member of the panel handling the Waters investigation, asked Moore if he would prefer the Ethics Committee take more time to form an investigative subcommittee that could more fully explore the charges and perhaps clear his name.
Moore, after a prolonged silence and brief consultation with his lawyer, said he would prefer not to draw out the process any longer.
"Whether it's a letter of reproval or saying the idea that I knowingly and intentionally used the Congresswoman's office for personal gain, that I disrespected the House, is a very difficult pill to swallow," Moore said. "The way I've been trained [is] to fight … but in this circumstance, I would say no [to an investigative subcommittee]."
With Waters cleared of wrongdoing, she will now be free to fully pursue the top Democratic slot on the Financial Services Committee as current ranking member Barney Frank (D-Mass.) prepares to retire at the end of this Congress.
He issued a statement this afternoon expressing enthusiasm for the Ethics Committee's decision.
"I was pleased but not surprised that the House Ethics Committee found no reason to bring any charges against my colleague Maxine Waters," Frank said.
Almost Over
The Waters probe began in 2009 at the independent Office of Congressional Ethics, which then referred the case to the ethics panel.
Just days before a rare public ethics trial conducted by the House committee was slated to begin in November 2010, the committee announced it would be sending the case back to the investigative subcommittee "due to materials discovered that may have had an effect on the investigative subcommittee's transmittal."
Shortly thereafter, it was revealed that two staffers were placed on administrative leave and that the former staff director had resigned. Later, internal committee documents published by Politico showed the committee's former staff director thought the staffers' improper behavior had likely compromised the investigation.
The leaked communications raised questions about whether then-Ethics Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) and ranking member Jo Bonner (R-Ala.), who now chairs the committee, had allowed partisanship to affect the committee's investigation.
Waters argued that her due process rights had been violated and that the committee should abandon the charges. In July 2011, the committee hired Martin to determine whether committee members and staffers had acted in a way that improperly impacted Waters' case. Martin was asked to determine whether the case should be dropped, restarted or proceed.
Martin found no indication that Waters had been deprived due process in the handling of her case, clearing the way for today's hearing.
Martin has racked up significant legal fees. The first contract awarded by the House to oversee the Waters investigation authorized Martin to bill up to $500,000. When that contract was poised to expire, the Ethics Committee requested and received an extension from the House Administration Committee, which greenlights contracts between Members and outside groups. This time, the contract authorized an additional $500,000. The final contract extended an additional authorization of funds, not to exceed $500,000, through December 2012.
Though it would first appear that Martin might have earned as much as $1.5 million, an aide with the House Administration Committee explained that each time a new contract was awarded, all the funds that were not used under the previous contract were essentially forfeited.
According to a source familiar with the process, Martin did not spend all the funds authorized in the first two contracts, and it was not immediately known how much of the final $500,000 authorization Martin had used.
The source said that House Administration Committee Democrats had significant reservations about approving a third funding authorization to Martin, given how much time and money it was taking to reach a conclusion. The source described "reluctance" on the part of committee Democrats to defer to the Ethics Committee's request.

LESLIE: Well, are you planning big remodeling projects for your home this year? Since we're pretty sure that none of them involve planting a money tree, you really want to make sure that every dollar counts.
TOM: And the best way to do just that is to plan remodels that pay off for you in the future. And This Old House host Kevin O'Connor has the lowdown on the top-five projects that do just that.
Welcome, Kevin.
KEVIN: Hi, guys. It's great to be here.
TOM: It's an absolute must to make sure that your projects will really pay off. Not only do you want a great finished product but it has to make dollars and sense. So, what do you recommend are the best improvements to make to achieve that?
KEVIN: Well, I think without question, you should start thinking about the kitchen, OK? So the kitchen is the heart of the home and it's the first room a prospective buyer looks at when they come into your house. And think about it: if they buy the house, they don't want to take on a major renovation the first thing they do when they move in. And that's what you'd have to do if you want to attack the kitchen. So, that's a great place to start.
And the good news is it can be a huge job but it doesn't have to be; you don't have to go the full gut, redo the entire room. There's lots of changes within a wide range of budgets. I mean you can just paint the cabinets; that would make a huge upgrade.
TOM: Yeah, people tend to think that the kitchen always is a tens-of-thousands-of-dollars makeover but there are lots of …
LESLIE: And a huge inconvenience, I think.
TOM: Yeah, there's lots of steps along the way, lots of little things that you can do: like you say, cabinets, countertop, lighting, flooring. Pick one part of it, right?
KEVIN: Pick one part of it this year, pick another part next year. Do it in small increments. Change out the appliances. Put some nice appliances in there or just one nice appliance. It's going to make a big difference.
The second room that I think that you have to look at are bathrooms, OK? (inaudible at 0:23:14) another space that's really closely examined by the home buyers.
Now, bathroom styles can be a very personal choice, so if you know that you're going to be selling in the future and you're doing a bathroom project, just keep your choices fairly neutral; that's where you're going to get your biggest payoff. And again, even some modest changes here can make a big difference: changing out the fixtures or the hardware, maybe putting in some tile flooring, even the décor can make a big difference. And you can do a lot of those things on a tight budget.
LESLIE: Now, Kevin, if you've got the opportunity to expand or do an addition, are there rooms that make more sense to add onto the home's structure over others?
KEVIN: Yeah, I think so. Where do we spend all of our time? We spend it in the family room, right? We're either in the kitchen or it seems we're in the family room.
So if you're going to add on, I think choosing a room that gets a lot of use, like a family room, is a great place to start in terms of an addition. Lots of people these days also like home offices and those things appeal to a wide range of buyers. And I think when you're doing a home office, you can be thinking about it, in some cases, as a guest bedroom, as well. So it's one of those rooms that can really change uses.
TOM: Or do double-duty, yeah.
KEVIN: Do double-duty, right.
TOM: Now, one room that's changed a lot over the last 20 or 30 years is the master bedroom. It used to be, simply, the largest bedroom in the house. But today, buyers seem to want to have an entire suite, correct?
KEVIN: Yeah. I think the "suite" is the right word and so that means that we're now asking it to do a lot more than just be a bedroom. We're looking for things like a roomy closet, maybe even a his-and-her closet. And we want a master bath attached.
And so if you're going to be doing a renovation and you're thinking about the bedrooms, a master suite is a great place to start.
LESLIE: Mm-hmm. And I think a good time to think about that is if you've already got something going on and you're expanding that first floor and you have the opportunity to go over it with a second story, that really works.
KEVIN: Yeah. The foundation is a big expense and typically, the master suite is going to be up on the second floor. So it is – you really – if you can do it while you're doing something else downstairs and pop this up on top, you're going to be in a good place.
LESLIE: Mm-hmm. I think it's also so important to consider outdoor spaces. And I think if you don't have one, adding a deck to your home could really be huge for resale value but also huge for usable space.
KEVIN: Yeah, it's a big project that we get a lot of questions about this on the show. We've even built some on the show to show people. A lot of people can do these things themselves but to your point, Leslie, it's additional space and it's outdoor space. Those are two prime motivators for people.
TOM: We're talking to Kevin O'Connor – he's the host of TV's This Old House – about the top five remodels that pay off.
So, Kevin, we covered kitchens, baths, family-room additions, master-bedroom suites and decks. What about an improvement that maybe doesn't pay off? Any thoughts on that?
KEVIN: Yeah, well, here's something that actually surprised me: a pool, right? And do you think, "Well, geez, everyone wants a pool"? Well, it turns out that's not necessarily the case. Now, certainly …
LESLIE: Oh, safety issues, maintenance, insurance costs.
KEVIN: Right? And there are some places where you're going to get a lot of use out of a pool, like in Florida, so it might make sense down there. But in other geographical locations, where you don't get that much use out of it, a home buyer is probably just as likely to say they don't want a pool as they do want a pool. So you're not always going to get a big bang for your buck by putting a pool.
TOM: I can definitely concur with that because in all the years I spent as a home inspector, I used to get that question all the time: "How do I fill that pool in? How do I make it go away? I just don't want it."
KEVIN: Yeah.
TOM: Always surprising.
KEVIN: It is.
TOM: But it really is a very personal decision.
KEVIN: It is.
TOM: Kevin O'Connor, the host of TV's This Old House, great advice on how to make sure we get the best return on investment from our remodeling projects. Thanks so much for stopping by The Money Pit.
KEVIN: Thank you, guys.

How to Fix Power Lock Problems
Having a power lock in your vehicle allows you to unlock and lock your doors. It can be a life saver in situations like parking lots, where you may be unsure of whether you're locked out. If you experience any problems with your power locks, it is important to get them repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Fortunately, most auto makers provide a warranty on their power door lock systems. These systems often suffer from issues due to normal wear and tear, aging, and the occasional mechanical failure. Symptoms include door locks that don't operate as intended, locking and unlocking functions that stop working, and a lack of power in the locking and unlocking mechanisms. Power locks have a large number of moving parts and are susceptible to wear and tear. In order to keep your power door lock functioning at its optimum, it's important to maintain and service these systems. If you've encountered one of these problems, it's time to consult your service technician to get the repair process underway.
Some of the more complex power door lock systems may need replacement components and parts. The cheapest way to get a hold of these components is to visit your nearest dealership. If this isn't an option, check with your service technician to see if the manufacturer of your vehicle offers a service program for its power door locks. Regardless of the manufacturer, be sure to take advantage of your manufacturer's warranty in order to protect your investment.
A properly maintained power door lock system can keep you from becoming a tad unnerved when you're on the road. This type of technology isn't cheap, and it's important to keep your doors in tip top shape. The best way to ensure that your power door lock is performing at its optimum is to have a professional maintenance technician inspect your system regularly. In addition, it's worth looking into a power lock replacement program that can keep your doors functioning at their best. With a little maintenance, your car can remain safe and secure for years to come. Keeping your car on the road is important to both safety and convenience. To help get you back on the road, consider a new power door lock for your vehicle. This will likely be the best investment you make for the long term. Whether you choose a new door lock or a replacement door and a fresh battery, your new power door lock will provide years of enjoyment for you and your passengers.
Getting power locks to work can be a hassle. Whether your car has one door or a dozen, a malfunctioning power lock can cause problems. While most of these problems are simple to fix, there are times when the problem is more complex. Whether you are experiencing a power lock that only works sometimes or an entire power lock system that does not work, there are several steps you can take to get the system back up and running.
The first step to fixing a power lock is to determine the cause. A power lock can break down for several reasons, including mechanical problems, wiring problems, and electronic failure. In addition, electrical problems can lead to an inoperable door lock. It is important to find the root cause of the problem, as this will save you time, money, and effort.
If your power lock is malfunctioning, you will notice that the power handle is not working. This is due to a faulty switch, or a faulty actuator motor. You can use a 9V or 12V battery to test the actuator. If it does not work, you need to remove the plastic hook that connects the power handle to the power lock linkages. Once you have removed the hook, you can test the power handle by manually locking and unlocking the driver's door. If it does not work, you will hear a clicking sound.
If the power handle still does not work, you can replace the switch, or actuator motor. You may need to disconnect the battery to do this. If you do not disconnect the battery, the electrical components could be damaged. You should also take into account the cables that connect the power handle to the power lock linkages. If you are not sure about these steps, you can take your vehicle to a dealership for a professional diagnosis. The dealership can also provide you with detailed instructions.
If you still cannot determine the cause of your power lock's problem, it may be time to take your vehicle to a garage. A garage technician can properly troubleshoot your power lock and provide you with a solution.
Changing a bad actuator motor
Changing a bad actuator motor for power lock is a common repair that can be done by a professional mechanic. If you have a newer vehicle, you may need to remove the door lock to replace the actuator. If you have an older vehicle, you may be able to open the door manually.
The first step in changing a bad actuator motor for power lock is to inspect the device. You can check it by using an automotive meter. The device will need to show positive voltage in one direction and negative in another direction.
If the device makes a noise, you may have a problem with the solenoid. If the device makes a noise when you press the door lock button, this could be a symptom of a malfunctioning actuator.
Another problem could be a broken connection between the actuator and the door panel. This can be fixed with the proper tool. If the device is still unable to lock or unlock, you may have a problem with the door lock switch. If the device is still working, you can try a fuse replacement.
The door lock actuator may fail to work if it is old or has been used for a long time. You may be able to troubleshoot the problem, but the best option is to replace the actuator. This is not a costly repair. You may be able to find replacement parts online or at a local auto repair shop.
When you are changing a bad actuator motor for power lock, you should be able to unlock and lock the vehicle with the key. This means you should not need to have your car towed. You may also need to replace the window regulator in some cars. If you are looking to replace your actuator, you can purchase it as a part or as an assembly. It can cost between $100 and $300. The cost of the part depends on the model of your car.
If you have a car with two wires, you may need to consult a wiring diagram. The actuator should be able to last for about 100,000 miles in good condition.

Ostpolitik: The Quadripartite Agreement of September 3, 1971 |
West Germany's relations with the East European states had virtually stagnated since the establishment of the Hallstein Doctrine in the mid-1950s. In 1970, in an attempt to lessen tensions in Europe, Brandt and his FDP minister for foreign affairs, Walter Scheel, agreed to negotiate with the communist bloc. For the first time since 1948, the top politicians of the FRG and the GDR held talks, with Brandt and the East German prime minister, Willi Stoph, meeting in Erfurt in East Germany and Kassel in West Germany. Although the talks produced no concrete results because Brandt refused to recognize the GDR as a sovereign state, communication lines were reopened. After coordinating policy goals with the United States, the FRG also entered negotiations with the Soviet Union on a treaty normalizing relations, in which both countries renounced the use of force. The FRG agreed to make no territorial claims, and it recognized de facto the Oder-Neisse border and the border between the FRG and the GDR. FRG negotiators, however, insisted that such agreements did not alter the West German position on future reunification of the country and that the responsibilities of the Four Powers in Germany remained unchanged by the treaty. They also linked the signing of the treaty to a Soviet promise to open talks on normalizing the Berlin situation. After the Soviet Union had agreed to these conditions, the Treaty of Moscow was signed in August 1970. The agreement opened the road to negotiations with other countries of the Soviet bloc. In December 1970, after ten months of complicated negotiations, the FRG and Poland signed the Treaty of Warsaw. The treaty contained essentially the same points as the Treaty of Moscow on the question of Poland's western border, the renunciation of territorial claims by the FRG, and the ongoing responsibilities of the Four Powers. In return, Poland agreed to allow ethnic Germans still in Poland to emigrate to the FRG. During the subsequent debates on the ratification of the two treaties, the CDU/CSU and part of the FDP made their consent contingent on the formulation of a strong statement by the Bundestag underscoring Germany's right to reunification in self-determination and of the Allies' responsibilities for Germany and Berlin. Concurrent with the negotiations on the treaties of Moscow and Warsaw, the Four Powers undertook to end disagreement about the status of Berlin in talks that ultimately led to the Four Power Agreement (also known as the Quadripartite Agreement) of September 1971. The talks, which began in March 1970, got off to a difficult start because the Western Allies and the Soviet Union were deeply divided over their basic interpretation of the "status of Berlin." After they "agreed to disagree" on this point, progress was finally made, and all sides concurred that the status quo of Berlin should not be changed unilaterally. The Soviet Union made two very important concessions: traffic to and from West Berlin would be unimpeded in the future, and the existing ties of West Berlin to the FRG were given de facto recognition. Soviet officials, however, insisted that West Berlin was not to be considered a territory belonging to the FRG and therefore was not to be governed by it. Furthermore, the Soviet Union made the conclusion of the agreement among the Four Powers contingent on the signing of the Treaty of Moscow between the FRG and the Soviet Union, which was still under negotiation. They thereby established the same linkage that the FRG had demanded, but in reverse. The Four Power Agreement charged the governments of West Berlin and the GDR with negotiating an accord that would regulate access to and from West Berlin from the FRG and secure the right of West Berliners to visit East Berlin and the GDR. The Transit Agreement of May 1972 arranged these matters and also secured the rights of GDR citizens to visit the FRG, but only in cases of family emergency. Following the negotiations on traffic between the FRG and the GDR, both sides recognized the feasibility of arriving at a more comprehensive treaty between the two German states. Talks began in August 1972 and culminated in December 1972 with the signing of the Basic Treaty. In the treaty, both states committed themselves to developing normal relations on the basis of equality, guaranteeing their mutual territorial integrity as well as the border between them, and recognizing each other's independence and sovereignty. They also agreed to the exchange of "permanent missions" in Bonn and East Berlin to further relations. After the bitterly
contested approval of the Basic Treaty by the SPD-FDP-controlled Bundestag
in May 1973, a political decision that the CDU/CSU had warned against
for decades became a reality: West Germany's de facto recognition of
East Germany as a separate state. To many conservatives, the Basic Treaty
represented the failure of the Hallstein Doctrine and a final blow to
the possibility of Germany's reunification. Bavaria filed a suit in
the Federal Constitutional Court in Karlsruhe to prevent the treaty's
implementation, but the court held the treaty to be compatible with
the provisions of the Basic Law. As a result of the treaty, the FRG
and the GDR became members of the UN in June 1973. Among the states
to the east, Czechoslovakia remained the only neighbor with which West
Germany had not yet normalized diplomatic relations. Negotiations with
this country proved to be considerably more difficult than those with
the Soviet Union or Poland. The main obstacle was a difference in interpreting
the Munich Agreement of September 1938. On the one hand, the FRG maintained
that the accord itself had to be considered legally valid but that the
occupation of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 had voided its provisions.
Czechoslovakia, on the other hand, insisted that the accord be considered
void from the very beginning. Both sides finally agreed that the accord
was to be considered void, but that all legal proceedings in the occupied (Germany, a Country Study, Federal Research Division p. 107. Library of Congress, 1996.) |

Due to the competitiveness scenario of the markets most plastic surgery clinics and plastic surgeons feel forced to invest large sums of money into advertising and marketing campaigns; this non medical additional cost is always and necessarily charged on top of the final price paid by patients, leading thus to an overprice of surgeries and treatments. No one patient wishes to bear that financial burden embedded in the surgical costs, furthermore neither surgeons nor clinics are happy to increase their retail prices and penalize their customers with costs not bringing any kind of special medical benefit, safety enhancements or results improvement; the promotion budget aims only to disseminate the public knowledge of a services provider and raise the awareness about its presence to potential customers, but not to make the service or the product a better one.
Seems like this model is a no-way-out labyrinth from which no one can be freed, furthermore it is such a tempting, easy and hassle-free way that actually most patients and plastic surgery providers are locked into it, happily or with resignation, paying a high price due to being non collaborative; however there is an ideal alternative, based on keeping up a good hard work based on a strive for providing quality service and achieving patients' satisfaction, which necessarily requires the decided support of the clients and somehow their involvement in such virtuous business model grounded on top-notch results
When plastic surgery providers and patients do actively engage into a collaborative economy scenario a win-win basis is set for their relationship, since the clinics and surgeons obtain the best promotion ever possible with no budget for marketing investment and the patients get in return rid of any additional and unnecessary costs; such a price reduction does not represent any loss in the quality of the treatment they are receiving, furthermore this saving achieved will actually reward customers with a reinforced confidence and guarantee the service providers will strive to perform the best job possible and obtain results second to none.
It is not a paradox or contradiction; under a collaborative economy umbrella plastic surgery patients enjoy a greater plus of confidence that clinics and surgeons will do their very best and beyond to satisfy their customers, in spite the price is lower than in marketing-based non collaborative models; plastic surgery providers who found their business sustainability on the pillars of exclusively or mainly incremental budget investment in ongoing promotion campaigns do have little incentive in achieving first-class results and the best patient experiences, since their business model is not based on returning patients after word-of-mouth dissemination of their reputation but on the attraction of cold clients with sophisticated advertising methods of higher or lesser moral acceptability, attracting customers as parachutists randomly landing on unknown land, which is a perverse business model frequently leading to an unavoidable degradation of safety and results quality besides an uncontrollable increase in costs and prices; this marketing-based model creates no incentives to keep up the good work and pushes the prices higher on and on due to require increasing promotional investments.
On the other side, which is definitely our side, clinics and surgeons who rely solely or mostly their existence and survival in the competitive plastic surgery market enjoying the widespread of their excellence extended by their own patients results and satisfaction, like a mill driven by the winds of prestige, have the strongest ever incentive to be the best service providers around, sourced from the support of happy clients and their operated cases as proof of their excellent jobs; needless to say such supporters, the patients, have to enjoy a share of this benefit so that the incentive is reciprocal; under this scenario clinics and surgeons strive to provide the best service and accordingly patients release and transfer in a fair exchange the materials and tools required to build a marketing-budget-free and virtuous business model which creates the perfect incentives to build the best sponsorship-free reputation, based on the grounds of medical quality thus allowing prices control within affordability thanks to the minimal cost of its maintenance.
This is the deal; patients give in our favor the release and transfer of the intellectual property, the rights of image, the medical records and the personal data of their cases for scientific dissemination, medical teaching, public communication, commercial promotion, advertising marketing, commercial exploitation and disclosure in general, and they receive in exchange a compensating remuneration of a -20% discount from the standard price list for our treatments, as it is publicly visible by default in all the prices and quotations on our website.
As can be observed our visible prices are highly competitive if compared with other plastic surgery providers, actually the difference is approximately a -20% from the average price of each particular treatment in other clinics and surgeons from similar economical areas and countries of comparable development; this is not due to any quality or safety downgrading but to our collaborative business model; in other words, the budget which theoretically should be invested in marketing and promotion campaigns is discounted from the retail prices and, unlike other plastic surgery providers, is not wasted into pointless advertising to patients which entails no kind of added value for them; such campaigns are replaced with our superb results publicized thanks our patients support by letting us use their cases' Before & After and Intraoperative & Technical images and medical details; this explains that price gap between us and other clinics and surgeons.

Truly now, here is GOLF FOR THE REST OF US... No more MECHANICS, frustration and paralysis-by-analysis of modern day golf instruction.
"Wally's tapes and the methods they teach are unlike any golf videos you have ever seen. Wally's "Maximize Your Game" tape series sets the standard by which all other golf videos will be measured.""After watching the DVDs I was psyched. I like the section on building a routine and then taking it to the course. On a hole where I usually end up in the weeds, I hit my diver right down the middle and watched it roll past the other players tee shots! Your DVDs gave me the right mental picture to trust my swing. Thank you so much for making golf fun again."

Global Financial Inclusion (Global Findex) Database 2011
Name | Country code |
Sri Lanka | LKA |
The Global Financial Inclusion (Global Findex) Database is a project funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to measure how people - including the poor, women, and rural residents around the world save, borrow, make payments and manage risk.
The Global Findex indicators are drawn from survey data collected by Gallup, Inc. over the 2011 calendar year, covering around 150,000 adults in more than 140 economies and representing about 97 percent of the world's population. Since 2005, Gallup has surveyed adults annually around the world, using a uniform methodology and randomly selected, nationally representative samples. The second round of Global Findex indicators was collected in 2014 and is forthcoming in 2015. The set of indicators will be collected again in 2017.
Sample survey data [ssd]
The Global Findex database includes indicators measuring how adults in more than 140 economies save, borrow, make payments, and manage risk. More specifically, the database includes indicators on the use of formal accounts, the frequency of formal account use, mode of formal account use (ATM, bank, bank agent, etc.), purposes of formal account use (remittances, government payments, wage payments, etc.), self-reported reasons for not having a formal account, savings behavior, savings method (bank, informal savings club, etc)), sources of borrowing (bank, friends/family, informal lender, etc.), purposes of borrowing (home purchase, school fees, emergency/health, funerals/weddings), the use of mobile phones to make payments, and the purchase of health and agriculture insurance.
National Coverage.
The target population is the civilian, non-institutionalized population 15 years and above. The sample is nationally representative.

The Global Findex indicators are drawn from survey data collected by Gallup, Inc. over the 2011 calendar year, covering more than 150,000 adults in 148 economies and representing about 97 percent of the world's population. Since 2005, Gallup has surveyed adults annually around the world, using a uniform methodology and randomly selected, nationally representative samples. The second round of Global Findex indicators was collected in 2014 and is forthcoming in 2015. The set of indicators will be collected again in 2017.
Surveys were conducted face-to-face in economies where landline telephone penetration is less than 80 percent, or where face-to-face interviewing is customary. The first stage of sampling is the identification of primary sampling units, consisting of clusters of households. The primary sampling units are stratified by population size, geography, or both, and clustering is achieved through one or more stages of sampling. Where population information is available, sample selection is based on probabilities proportional to population size; otherwise, simple random sampling is used. Random route procedures are used to select sampled households. Unless an outright refusal occurs, interviewers make up to three attempts to survey the sampled household. If an interview cannot be obtained at the initial sampled household, a simple substitution method is used. Respondents are randomly selected within the selected households by means of the Kish grid.
Surveys were conducted by telephone in economies where landline telephone penetration is over 80 percent. The telephone surveys were conducted using random digit dialing or a nationally representative list of phone numbers. In selected countries where cell phone penetration is high, a dual sampling frame is used. Random respondent selection is achieved by using either the latest birthday or Kish grid method. At least three attempts are made to teach a person in each household, spread over different days and times of year.
The sample size in the majority of economies was 1,000 individuals.
Data weighting is used to ensure a nationally representative sample for each economy. First, base sampling weights are constructed to account for oversamples and household size. If an oversample has been conducted, the data are weighted to correct the disproportionate sample. Weighting by household size (number of residents age 15 and above) is used to adjust for the probability of selection, as residents in large households will have a disproportionately lower probability of being selected for the sample. Second, poststratification weights are constructed. Population statistics are used to weight the data by gender, age, and, where reliable data are available, education or socioeconomic status.
The questionnaire was designed by the World Bank, in conjunction with a Technical Advisory Board composed of leading academics, practitioners, and policy makers in the field of financial inclusion. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and Gallup, Inc. also provided valuable input. The questionnaire was piloted in over 20 countries using focus groups, cognitive interviews, and field testing. The questionnaire is available in 142 languages upon request.
Questions on insurance, mobile payments, and loan purposes were asked only in developing economies. The indicators on awareness and use of microfinance insitutions (MFIs) are not included in the public dataset. However, adults who report saving at an MFI are considered to have an account; this is reflected in the composite account indicator.

Interviews were conducted in the following languages: Sinhala, Tamil.
Estimates of standard errors (which account for sampling error) vary by country and indicator.

What is the steps to make this plugin works on my site?
In order to start showing plugin sharing buttons you need to take the following steps:
1. Install and activate the Share This Image plugin. More.
2. Check the plugin settings page. More.
3. Check display rules. With these special options it is possible to choose what images on what pages must be available for sharing. More.
4. Set sharing button. Enable/disable sharing buttons that must be visible on your site. More.
5. Finish! From now sharing buttons must work on selected pages ( based on current display rules ). -
Can I enable image sharing only for certain pages or images?
Yes. With the Display rules option it became very simple to show/hide sharing button based image, page or user conditions.
What about mobile devices support?
Sharing buttons works great on both desktop and mobile devices. Optionally you can disable mobile sharing by opening the plugin settings page and turning off Enable on mobile? option.
By default on mobile instead of a sharing button block you will see one sharing icon that will show a sharing button when clicking on it. But this behaviour can be changed. -
Yes. With the PRO plugin settings you can choose from several pre-defined sharing buttons styles or change styling for each button individually. Learn more.
When sharing new image for title and description plugin first of all looks in 'data-title' and 'data-summary' attributes of image.
So you can set your fully customizable content by adding this attributes. It's can look like that:

If image doesn't have data attributes then plugin will use title attribute for title and attr attribute for summary.

If image doesn't have data, title and attr attributes then will be used default title and description that you set in the plugin settings page.
Also it is possible to set shared image that can be different from image in the 'img' tag.
It's can be done with help of 'data-media' attribute:

Also you can change shared link.
By default plugin will share link to the page where your shared image in situated. But you can simply change this behavior.
Just add 'data-url' attribute with link that you want to be shared.
img src="images/youre-cool-image.jpg" data-url="http://your-link.com">
With the PRO plugin version you have the more advanced features in content customization. You can set priority for content sources, use special text variables and even customize sharing content individually for each sharing button.
How to use plugins build-in shortcode?
Most common there is no need to use shortcode. Plugin will automatically work with all images that you have on your site.
But with shorcode it is very simple to share desired image with custom title and description.
All you need to do is add this shortcode inside your page or post content section
[sti_image image="http://your-image-to-display.jpg" shared_image="http://your-image-to-share.jpg" shared_title="Your-title" shared_desc="Your-Description"]
It is very simple and don't need additional explanation.
Is it works only with 'img' tag?
Plugin give ability to run it not only for images, but for any blocks of content.
Only one condition – this block must have data-media attribute with link to shared image.
For example – we have block with custom content inside. This block has class shared-box. So it is very easy to add sharing content for it.

 Youre custom content ( text, html or any other )

Don't forget, that class name of block must be specified in plugin selector option. For example, if we want to share all images and this block then selector will be img, .shared-box.
That's all! After this if any of your visitors hover on block with class name shared-box he will see appeared share box with social buttons.
I install this plugin on my local server and have issues with sharing images. What's wrong?
In order to share images and all other data social networks must scrap data from you website page. So if your website is not publicly available data will not be scraped.
There are many reasons that can lead to such an issue. Please follow these steps that can help you with solving the problem.
- Open plugin settings page and find Minimal width and Minimal height options. Make sure that they are bigger enought overwise sharing will not work for some of your site images.
- Check Buttons position option and if it is set to On image ( always show ) then change it to On image ( show on mouse enter ).
- Check the Display rules option and make sure that you have proper display conditions for the sharing button.
If your problem is still there – please ask your question on support forum.
Problem with the plugin like image galleries or grids is that they load its content dynamically and use JavaScript code for this. The Share This Image plugin works great with many of such types of plugins but sometimes the issues can still appear. In this case please try following steps:
Open the plugin settings page and check Buttons position option. If it is set to On image ( always show ) then change it to On image ( show on mouse enter ).
This steps requires some coding skills. The trick is to recall sharing buttons display method after the gallery/grid images are fully loaded.
Than just use following JavaScript code:$("img").sti();
The trick here is to call that method only after the gallery/grid images are loaded. Usually such plugins have some JS triggers that are activated after the full load. So you need to know it and then the final code will looks like that:
$(document).on("custom-event-name", function(){ window.clearTimeout(timeoutID); timeoutID = window.setTimeout( function() { $("img").sti(); }, 1000 ); });
There are several reasons for this. Please walk through the steps below.
Note: after each step you need to clear your browser cache and the cache of any active caching plugin on your website.-
Open the plugin settings page and find Use intermediate page option. Change its value and check if something was changed.
Make sure that your website is open for indexing: open Settings -> Reading page and find Search engine visibility option.
Use tools like Facebook debugger or Twitter card validator to check what actual sharing data social networks sees. This information can help you figure out what goes wrong.
