Correspondence: SPSC 5 amendment
24 March 2010
I recently posted an article reporting on ongoing trial of the Scottish Palestinian Solidarity Campaign 5. (see: http://www.socialistdemocracy.org/RecentArticles/
The words at the behest of in the last paragraph have led to false accusations that I believe that the Israeli state determines British foreign policy, rather than my actual belief that Israel is (and has been) an extremely dependable ally of US and UK imperialism in the Middle East. This is why both American and British ruling classes have been prepared to support, finance and arm, Israeli wars, occupations, land seizures and atrocities, and to especially favour Zionist organizations in their respective states.
To avoid any confusion I have changed the words at the behest of to in favour of. I would ask any organization which has posted the article originally on the SSP website to notify their readers of this change.
In the meantime I would also draw your attention to the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network:-
and its statement in support of the SPSC 5:-

Type in your zip code it tells you what to plant
Food storage
Tomatoes – Always keep at room temperature.
Cucumbers – If you need to keep these fresh for more than a day or two after buying, wrap in a moist towel and refrigerate.
Peppers – Store in a plastic bag for 1-2 weeks in the fridge. If flash frozen, peppers will last up to 10 months.
Green Beans – These keep well with humidity (drape a damp cloth over them) but not wetness.
Carrots – Keep in a closed contained and wrapped in a damp towel or dip in cold water every few days. For lasting freshness, cut off the tops.
Squash – Will keep at room temperature for a few days if out of direct sunlight.
Peas – Place in an open container and refrigerate.
Onions – Keep in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place.
Broccoli – Store in the fridge: either wrapped in a damp towel or in an open container.
Corn – Best to leave these in the husk until ready to be eaten, but more flavorful if eaten sooner. Keep corn refrigerated.
Garlic – Keep away from humidity, dampness, or direct sunlight.
Celery – Wrap in foil and place in the fridge or keep in a bowl of shallow water on the counter.
Lettuce – Keep lettuce damp and refrigerated, preferably in an airtight container.
Mushroom – These are best stored in their original container. Uncooked leftovers should be covered with more plastic wrap before going back in the fridge.
Potatoes – Store in a dark and dry place or a brown paper bag.
Bananas – To extend freshness, separate bananas after purchasing and store in a well-ventilated basket.
Apples – Away from heat, these will keep for about two weeks. For longer storage, place in a cardboard box and refrigerate.
Grapes – Store in the fridge, but only wash when ready to use to avoid mushiness.
Peaches – Only refrigerate when fully ripe.
Pears – A cool environment or brown paper bag is best. Pears will keep for a few weeks on the counter.
Watermelon – Let ripen at room temperature for 7-10 days. After that, sliced watermelon can be stored in the fridge for several days.
Pineapples – Can be stored whole in the fridge (cut off the top) or sliced and put in an airtight container (don't use aluminum foil, as this will alter the flavor).
Strawberries – Keep away from damp, wet places. Refrigerated strawberries placed in a brown paper bag will keep for a week if the bag is kept dry.
Oranges – Oranges lose juiciness when refrigerated. For freshest fruit, place in a ventilated basket and keep on the counter.
Cherries – Store in an airtight container and avoid washing until ready to eat. Keep cherries refrigerated.
Plums – Store at room temperature until they are ripe, and then keep them in the refrigerator in a plastic bag.
Blueberries – Store dry in a shallow plastic container in the refrigerator. Do not wash them until you are ready to eat them, because they will quickly mold if they are stored wet.

In Conversation with Emica Penklis | LOCO LOVE
It's very rare you when meet someone in everyday life who understands the full spectrum of determinants on our health and wellbeing. Emica Penklis is one such person, a super raw chocolatier, model, naturopath with a special interest in eating psychology. Emica discovered whilst practising naturopathy that the treatments would help heal her clients on a physical level however there is a much deeper level of healing required also integrating the mind and spirit. This revelation lead Emica to study food psychology and mind body nutrition. Our health is determined by so much more than food we eat and exercise we do and or don't do. We embody our thoughts, feelings and emotions and this manifests physically into our general state of wellbeing and emotional fitness.

On Tuesday night, President Trump delivered on a promise made to voters during the general election by nominating Neil Gorsuch of the Tenth Circuit to the Supreme Court. If all goes as the Trump administration hopes, Gorsuch will fill the seat left by the late Antonin Scalia following the latter's passing earlier in 2016. In a Court that is currently split 4-4 on fundamental issues, Gorsuch will provide what is expected to be a critical conservative-leaning vote.
While reactions to the nomination have been expectedly mixed, Gorsuch's stance on perhaps one topic has polarized the populace more than any other: Religious Liberty. As conservatives have praised Gorsuch's work in defending the Green Family (Hobby Lobby v. Burwell) and the Little Sisters of the Poor, liberals have interpreted Gorsuch's involvement in those same cases as evidence of his favoritism towards Christians. While the GOP celebrates a nominee with a proven track record, others express concern that—should he sit on the highest court of the land—Gorsuch could return the country to a time when "religious liberty" was used as a weapon, wielded to impose one's form of worship on another.
On one hand, those who praise Trump's pick do so passionately. Leaders of faith-based organizations have been some of Gorsuch's most vocal supporters. Russell Moore of the Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission, for example, released the following public statement on the ERLC website following Trump's announcement.
"Judge Neil Gorsuch is an exceptional choice for Supreme Court justice. He is a brilliant and articulate defender of Constitutional originalism in the mold of the man he will replace: Justice Antonin Scalia. His career is one that exemplifies the very best of intellectually robust conservatism, judicial restraint and faithfulness to the Constitution. I heartily support President Trump's excellent appointment. I look forward to Judge Gorsuch's voice on the Court for decades to come and pray that he will be an articulate and stalwart advocate for religious liberty and human dignity at all its stages. Along with Baptists and other believers around the country, I urge the Senate to confirm Judge Gorsuch without delay. (emphasis added)
Similarly, Stephen White of the Ethics and Public Policy Center wrote an article for the EPPC titled "Why Neil Gorsuch is an Outstanding Supreme Court Nomination". In his piece, White commends Gorsuch as one who "has been a reliable defender of constitutional and statutory protections for religious freedom: notably, he stood against the Obama administration's refusal to treat the Little Sisters of the Poor as a religious organisation."
On the other hand, those who condemn Trump's nominee do so with equal vigor. Leaders of secular organizations have taken to their own domains to voice their opposition. In a statement released to the public, executive director Larry Decker of The Secular Coalition for America said:
The nomination of Judge Gorsuch by President Trump signals a clear intent by the Administration to shape the nation's highest court in an ideological fashion that threatens religious liberty and pushes an agenda at odds with the majority of Americans. Prior to making its way to the Supreme Court, the case of Hobby Lobby v. Burwell was brought before the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Gorsuch ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby, asserting that business owners with sincerely held religious beliefs could deny their employees access to healthcare benefits they were guaranteed by law under the Affordable Care Act. The result of the Hobby Lobby decision has been disastrous, granting business owners an unprecedented the unprecedented power [sic] to impose their personal beliefs on employees and setting a dangerous legal precedent that elevates religious belief above the law. (emphasis added)
Likewise, Amanda Knief, legal director of American Atheists writes:
American Atheists has grave concerns about the nomination of Judge Neil Gorsuch to serve a lifetime appointment on the United States Supreme Court. Judge Gorsuch's expansionist view of religion as a 'Get Out of the Law, Free' card is fundamentally at odds with the history of American jurisprudence and would allow religion to be used as a weapon against women, LGBT people, atheists, and others. (emphasis added)
Comparing the two sides, one could reasonably ask: Are the above descriptions talking about the same Neil Gorsuch? Perhaps most striking is the mutual contradictoriness of both sides. While Moore and White see Gorsuch as a great defender of the Constitution and religious liberty in general, Decker and Knief see him as the greatest threat to that same document and its principles. How can this be? Both camps disagree to such an extent because both are operating under fundamentally incommensurable interpretations of religious liberty. In essence, Moore/White and Knief/Decker hold to two diametrically opposed definitions of religion in general and religious liberty in particular. What we see in their public statements are the veneer, the outward conclusions to hidden and unstated premises.
For the one, religious liberty is meant to encompass both freedom of worship and freedom of expression. It is the right to have one's faith inform both one's beliefs and one's actions. At the least, it is the freedom to operate a business or nonprofit in a way that honors one's conscience, whether that be the denial to provide contraceptives and abortifacients to employees or the right to choose one's clientele. For the other, religious liberty can be best described as a freedom from religion. Religious liberty allows each person to hold to his or her beliefs only insofar as those beliefs remain private, isolated and do not interfere with the rights of others. This notion of religious liberty does not allow religious belief to inform action, especially if said actions deny others their right to reproductive health and other services.
Which side is right? To answer the question would require more space than a post such as this allows. Rather, I believe the answers are not as important as asking the right questions. We should inquire: Is either side willing to question its own assumptions? Only when these have been stated and debated publicly can true discourse between the camps occur. Only when we have reached agreement on the more fundamental (and philosophical) question of "what religious liberty is" can we begin to make policy decisions on how to defend it domestically and how to promote it internationally.
This has always been the harder task, and ours is a society that is increasingly turning its back on such modes of questioning. Although we might prefer to blindly assert rather than calmly to argue, only through the latter route will some form of agreement be built between the competing sides.

Vital stats: Jacob was 22 lbs. (75th percentile) and 29.5 inches long (75th percentile) at his nine-month check up. So he's presumably a little heavier and a little longer. But his growth is definitely slowing down because he's not busting through clothes quite as fast, plus he's crawling and climbing everywhere, so he's burning calories like a marathon runner.
Milestones & firsts: Jacob has learned so much this month. I think this has been his most developmental month in terms of things he can now do.
He gives high fives! You don't have to put your hand up in his face or anything, just say, "Hey Jake, high five!" and he puts his hand up with a huge grin. Love it.
Also with high fives came waving. He doesn't do this as readily, but he's learning.
Over the past few days, Jacob has been trying to stand up without pulling himself up. He tucks his legs into a crouching position and tries to push up, but can't quite get there. He's also been standing next to the couch or coffee table and letting go for five or 10 seconds at a time, balancing on his own. He's also quick to grab anything that moves and truck across the floor at warp speed. If I had to predict, I'd say we'll have a walker on our hands before the one-year mark.
And my absolute favourite -- kisses and hugs. He is so lovey these days and happily lays a big, drooly, open mouth kiss on you whenever you ask for it.
Last weekend, Jacob experienced the ocean for the first time. It was adorable to watch him crawl through the ebbing surf. He only munched on the sand once and quickly realized that is wasn't as tasty as he thought it might be.
See what I mean? It was a big month!
Teeth: Still two. It's so weird how much it varies from baby to baby. His girl bestie, who is a wise and mature four days older, has at least six teeth, maybe more. Another one of his girl friends, who is two weeks younger, has no teeth yet. A boy buddy who is six weeks younger has four teeth already. Ah, the joys of teething.
Speech: Jacob seems to be saying Mama more and Dada less, which is weird since Husband is the one who is home with him during the day now. I sort of think he's using the word Mama to refer to both of us. We've started to notice him saying om nom nom nom when he's hungry. Coincidence?
Zzzzzzz: Usually one wake up per night still, to nurse as I mentioned last month.
Om nom nom: Among his new faves are whole chic peas, mashed potatoes, turkey and blueberries. Husband has been giving him a combo of bran and yogurt in the mornings, which he loves. They also sometimes make smoothies as a treat.
Likes & dislikes: Loves dancing!
Lately he dislikes naps. He's reluctant to take them and only sleeps for 45 minutes or so, which barely counts.
Challenges: What a little stinker. I swear he knows everything that he's not allowed to have or shouldn't play with and makes a beeline for it every time. Shoes, the plugged-in computer charger, the grassy rug in front of the door. What is it about these things that looks so tasty? Over the weekend though, I was quick to say "Nooo" as he was about to put something like that up to his mouth and he'd stop, grin a little, and then hold his hand out to pass me the offending item. Could he really be learning that this early?
Standing up in the bathtub. For a couple weeks, his baths were about a minute and a half long. Water, soap, rinse, done. No playing or splashing, because the first thing he'd do is grab the side and try to stand, ultimately slipping all over the place. Then Husband bought an inflatable tub insert, which has worked quite well. Eventually he still tries to stand up, but he's usually happy to sit there for at least five minutes first to wash and play.

In the past month we have continued to work on our expansion. Our main entrance has moved to Warren Street which has a larger parking lot and a handicap accessible door. In the past week, the Executive Director's office moved, joining the Gift Shop and Marian Anderson Art Gallery on the lower level.
Many people ask, "What is the next phase of the building expansion?" At the moment, we are waiting on a Facility Conditions Assessment before we start changes to the upper level. Plans for the upper level include moving the Research Center down the hall to a more central location for visitors.
We still need to raise funds to support the building acquisition and improvements. You can help financially by making a donation by check or through our online donation page. Please specify "Building Fund" on your check or in the comment box. Here are a few specific projects that currently need financial support:
- $500 for coffee shop equipment: countertop mini-fridge with clear door, condiment organizers, etc.
- $1,000 to install a surveillance system
- $2,500 to build a new reception desk
- $3,000 for exterior building signage and awning
- $3,000 to purchase two compact shelving units for collections storage
- $4,000 to purchase padded stackable chairs for the new meeting room
- $4,000 covers one of seven quarterly building acquisition payments
- $10,500 for Facility Conditions Assessment, Feasibility Study and Schematic Drawings – to help us prioritize and evaluate necessary repairs.
- $20,000 to for renovations to the new Research Center and Volunteer Workroom including: new hallway entrance, carpet and paint.
- $1 Million to fully realize our vision of the new Blue Earth County History Center!
Continue to follow our expansion progress and updated wish list on our blog. Also, now is a great time to become a member or renew your support. If you have any questions about the building expansion, please contact Jessica at 507-345-5566 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I just wanted to get this notice out so folks can make their plans. The Pittsburgh Pro Mods will be racing on August 27th at Pittsburgh Raceway Park in New Alexandria. We've been a little short of cars in the series, but I have a feeling this race will be well attended. At the last race Andy Jensen went a 3.95 and became the first door car to go under 4 seconds and also receiving the $1000 bonus for the first door car in the 3's. Pretty impressive performance from a single turbo and only 427 cubes. He said he'll be back for the balance of the races this season. There is a new car that has been testing recently and should be there too. It's a '68 Camaro with twin turbos and 620 cubes. So far it's been a handfull, but look out when he gets it sorted out.
They also run 2 other classes that night, a Box and No-Box race for a decent payout. Gates open at 5:00 and it's $10 to spectate. I
there might be some road construction from the turnpike to the Rt. 66 interchange, but I'm not sure. But the 9 miles from Rt. 66 to the track are done and it's a easy drive. If you haven't been to PRP in a while, there are 2 new entrances to the track off Rt. 22. There are signs posted for the entrance roads. Be careful driving on Rt. 22 since the speed limits vary and the troopers are always watching. We'll be there with the Marion Docks Cobalt at least trying to get into the 20's.

This is the Friday before the 8.90 race and I'll probably be working on the car if it's not all ready yet. If I'm not I may stop by and watch the promods. PRP is a nice facility, and the road going in is super nice now, it took long enough. Like Dan said, just lookout for the po po's cause they were lined up last time I was out there....

We're not racing the following day at Thompson, but I'm going to try and get up there. All I ever get to see are bits and pieces of the racing and I want to see the Renegade cars along with the Asphalt Wars cars too.
We're going out to help a friend get his Nova set up this Thursday night. I'll ask Greg if he has any passes for the PPM race on the 27th and get back to you guys.
Do you have to be a member of the Renegade Warriors to run the class at Thompson ? The Nova we're going to help with runs 8.90's now and we're hoping for some 70's. They might be good candidates for the 8.90 class.
Subject: Re: Pittsburgh Pro Mods
August 18th 2010, 9:11 pm
Dan, you do not have to be a member of the Renegade Crew to run the race at Thompson. All you gotta do is fit the rules that they set forth, show up, get a T-shirt and goodie bag, and have fun. You become a member just by coming out and signing up to race in their event. Great group of guys to hang around and race against. Very diverse field of cars, and close racing every round. It's neat to see everyone's method's for dialing in the 8.90....

Just bring it up Dan an tell the Lady at the ticket booth your running the Renegade 8.90 class an she'll take care of ya, then go sign up by the concession stand next where I park, they have a tent set up to greet everyone thats running 8.90 If you aren't seeing any racing when your at Thompson ya need to come over an park where we pit, Mrs Z gets to see every race from that spot along the fence an we do too when we're not in the staging lanes,

Ok guys I was out at PRP helping a fellow with his Nova. I knew there were at least 2 cars I've seen there before that would fit into the 8.90 Renegade Warrior rules. I talked with the one fellow with a Mustang about the class, but his work schedule prevents him from leaving the area to race. And the other fellow wasn't there tonight.
I asked Greg about passes for the Pittsburgh Pro Mod race and he apologized saying they don't do that for special events. I dropped it at that because I know they do it.
Bruce Connelly was there testing his twin turbo 622'' Rick Jones '68 Camaro chassis car. Whenever he gets a handle on that beast, it's gonna fly !
Hope to see some of you this Friday at PRP and maybe on Saturday at Thompson.

I hear of a nasty rumor going around about PRP... I guess they are selling the track to someone and that someone is going to build condos on the property! I sure hope this is false..
Subject: Re: Pittsburgh Pro Mods
August 20th 2010, 1:13 pm
Toot, well that's a new one ! In this day you never know what might happen. A few years ago there were big plans of expanding the track, adding seating, a new tower and paving the place like Norwalk, and then getting a IHRA national event. But this was all the work of Evan Knoll and we see where that empire ended up.
The corridor from eastern Pittsburgh is probably one of the fastest growing areas around and with Rt. 22 being a good highway now, anything is possible. But look at the rumors about Quaker City becoming a : housing development, a mall or a extension of the BF landfill. Take your pick.
So as far as Pittsburgh Raceway, all we can do is wait and see. In my personal opinion, I think it'll be around a while as a track for reasons I don't want to get into.

Well, I sure hope your right. Seems like everyone that goes there has a blast.

It's not a bad track really. Racers are treated well and folks coming in from other tracks are welcomed. And none of that drama associated with ''other'' tracks. Payouts are decent and food at the cafeteria is great food. Michael has plans for the place but just like most businesses these days, the economy has prevented things from happening. We were there last night and were able to make 5 passes from 6:00 to 11:00. There were maybe 35 street type cars and trucks, 50 slick tired cars, 12-15 bikes and 2 juniors. They had a decent amount of spectators too. A lot of folks from Wyo-Tech in Blairsville come to the track since there isn't anything out there to do. Greg moves the program along and they do a quick prep of the track after every session. I give a lot of credit to the fellow who runs the lanes in keeping the cars moving along.
There should be a big turn-out this Saturday with the 8 Supercharged Thunder cars coming in. Plus, Beaver Springs Raceway is closed this weekend and some of those racers are coming down.

Skip, I guess that did come across as me being a cheerleader...no comments about that please.....about the PRP. In actuality, I'd say the same about any track in the area. They all have their own quirks and personalities, and I just don't want ANY of them to end up like, Youngstown, Skyline, PID, Nu-Be, Peterson, Eldora/Fairmount etc.
We're really lucky living in the areas we do in having so many tracks within a 3 hour tow of our homes.

Dan I was just pulling you,re string you always speak good of any dragstrip and like you said they all have their good,s and bad,s but the truth is we cannot afford to lose anymore of them. I like the little small time country out of the way tracks that are not to crowded where you have time to tnt and get to know the racers there. Now don,t get me wrong the big tracks are great too, every now and then and Dan like you said we have a lot within a 2-3 hour tow so we,ll show them all our support and try to keep all of them alive and well.Drag racing is a true American sport and there is no one who does it with more skill, talent, and heart!!!

Public Information OfficeMSU Summer Theatre commemorates 50 years
Minot State University's Summer Theatre will celebrate its 50th season by producing five favorite shows. Two of the shows, "Nunsense" and "Greater Tuna," will be performed by their original Summer Theatre casts. "Nunsense" will run June 9-13, "Annie" June 17-21, "Greater Tuna" June 26-30, "Little Shop of Horrors" July 7-11 and "The Music Man" July 21-25.
Sandra Nelson, Kari Files, Aili Smith, Kena Davidson and Nadine Nelson, original actors from the 2000 production of "Nunsense," will reprise their roles this summer. Conrad Davidson, College of Arts and Sciences dean, will also return as director. Alumni Jeff Arlt and John Weninger will repeat their roles in "Greater Tuna." Kevin Neuharth, alumnus and Summer Theatre director, will direct "Greater Tuna." MSU students, faculty and staff and community members will be involved during the season as well.
Possessing a rich and extensive history, Summer Theatre started out as a tent theater and a dream of founders and former faculty members Harold Aleshire and Tom Turner. In 1971, it found its permanent home on a grass-lined hillside north of campus with the MSU Amphitheater. Projects throughout the five decades have improved the outdoor theater.
"Like every season, I'm really excited about getting started, but this season is special," Neuharth said. "I'm looking forward to enjoying good weather, working with old friends and sharing a great season."
All shows begin at 8:30 p.m. with the box office opening at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $10 for adults, $8 for senior citizens and children over 12, $5 for children 12 and under, and $3 for MSU personnel and summer students with current MSU ID. There are also special rates for active military and their immediate dependent family members. For reservations, call 858-3228. For more information, contact Neuharth at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Bestia - Oiglaste Tulek (
Hexenreich Records
Estonian Pagan Black Metal band
have been blasting music in their capital city of Tallinn since the spring of 2000. In that time they have had a handful of releases and contributed to several compilations. The "Õiglaste Tulek" demo is their latest installment. On this disc you will find three tracks and a tad over nine minutes of raw black metal/death metal in the pagan vein. Most of this has a good tempo and is filled with classic black and death riffs. Some of these ominous guitar riffs are awesome, but if the band could tighten up a few loose parts it would help solidify their music. A few elements didn't mesh quite right, which made those parts a little awkward. Basically some riffs choices were too much in contrast with their adjoining parts. Not all the time, but a few times it got my attention. However the vocal variation between the screaming black vox and a few guttural death growls was nice. Elements from bands like Burzum, Immortal, Enslaved, Absu, and maybe a little Morbid Angel are all through this CD. "Õiglaste Tulek" is a little unpolished; don't expect Dimmu Borgir crystal clear black metal. Think of those aforementioned with a little raw edge. So, If you like your black/death metal a little on the raw side then this is for you.

NDA's presidential candidate Ram Nath Kovind has established early lead over Opposition candidate Meira Kumar in the counting of votes which is presently underway.
NDA nominee Ram Nath Kovind received 60683 votes while opposition's Meira Kumar got 22941 votes in Assam, Arunachal, Andhra Pradesh and Bihar, Returning Officer Anoop Mishra said.
Kovind is expected to win the presidential race given that the BJP and its allies have a majority in electoral college comprising Members of Parliament and members of legislative assemblies and councils of all states. A formal announcement of the winner is expected by 5 pm.
The voting took place on Monday.
Counting began at 11 am with the ballot box of Parliament House being opened first, followed by ballot boxes received from states in alphabetical order.
The votes are being counted on four separate tables and there will be eight rounds of counting. An Election Commission official, who has witnessed previous two presidential polls, said usually results are declared around 5 PM.
Close to 99 per cent voting was recorded for electing India's next president.
Thirty-two polling stations, including the one in Parliament House, were set up in various states. A total of 4,896 voters -- 4,120 MLAs and 776 elected MPs -- were eligible to cast their ballot. MLCs of states with legislative council are not part of the electoral college. While the value of an MLA's vote depends on the population of his or her state, the value of an MP's vote remains the same at 708.
The numbers are stacked in favour of the ruling coalition's nominee Kovind, a former Bihar governor, over the opposition's candidate and former Lok Sabha Speaker Kumar.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Walt Disney Co.'s World War II epic "Pearl Harbor" slumped at the box office in its second weekend but remained the top-grossing U.S. film.
The box office totals for the weekend following Memorial Day were unusually robust, underscoring the staying power of hits that had been released in the previous weeks. The top dozen films combined for a total weekend gross of $113 million, an increase of 27 percent from a year ago.
"Pearl Harbor," which is basically a love story that plays out against a backdrop of the surprise December 1941 attack by Japanese warplanes, brought in $30 million, for a 10-day total of $119 million. Its box office receipts fell 50 percent during the weekend following the four-day Memorial Day holiday.
Disney DIS, -1.05% has spent millions of dollars to promote the film. The pre-release hype of "Pearl Harbor" prompted many industry observers to compare it to the excitement of 1997's "Titanic," which generated $600 million in box office receipts in the United States and Canada and another $1.2 billion around the world. "Titanic" also won the Oscar for Best Picture.
Dreamworks' "Shrek," the animated tale of a big-hearted ogre, came in a close second last weekend, generating ticket sales of $28 million.
"Shrek," an unexpected blockbuster, has now accounted for a gross of $149 million in 17 days and is closing to within striking distance of the two biggest animation films of all time. "The Lion King" tops that list with $313 million, followed by "Toy Story 2," which took in $246 million.
"The Animal," starring comedian Rob Schneider as a mild-mannered man who becomes a superhero, finished the weekend in third place, racking up $20 million in its debut.
Another newcomer in national distribution was "Moulin Rouge," starring Nicole Kidman. It ranked fourth with $14 million.
Rounding out the top five, the Martin Lawrence-Danny DeVito comedy "What's the Worst That Could Happen?" attracted $13 million.
Not out of the ordinary
Industry observers had predicted a drop in gross for "Pearl Harbor." It's very difficult for a film to maintain the kind of momentum at the box office that "Pearl Harbor" exhibited in its initial weekend in distribution.
Disney executives have maintained that next weekend will provide a clearer picture on how much staying power the big-budget film has, since it will be another typical non-holiday weekend.
"Pearl Harbor" appeared in 3,214 venues and averaged $9,334 per theater. By comparison, "Shrek" produced $7,757 in 3,661 theaters.
The two hits couldn't be more different, underscoring the public's appetite for summer entertainment in any form.
"Pearl Harbor" stars Ben Affleck and Josh Hartnett, who compete for the heart of nurse Kate Beckinsale.
"Shrek" features the humor of three veteran comic actors -- movie stars Eddie Murphy and Mike Myers and John Lithgow, who had been the star of NBC-TV's "3rd Rock from the Sun."
With those stars on hand, "Shrek" seemed a good bet to succeed at the box office, though few would have predicted that it would demonstrate this sort of strength.

Middle East Tribalism - Tribes In Seventh-century Arabia, Tribal Identity And Political Metaphor, The Multiple Meanings Of Tribe
regions jordan community claiming
The term tribe, derived from the Latin tribus, refers to a group of persons forming a community and claiming descent from a common ancestor. In the Middle East and North Africa, unlike many other parts of the world, claiming tribal affiliation often positively affirms community, identity, and belonging. In the mid-to late twentieth century, nationalist leaders in some regions rejected claims to tribal identity as "primitive" or potentially divisive to national unity. In the early twenty-first century in Morocco, Yemen, and Jordan, tribal affiliations figure implicitly in electoral politics in many regions, although other aspects of personal and collective identity also come into play. In the Iraq ruled by Saddam Hussein (1979–2003), the mention in public of one's tribal identity, outlawed in the 1980s in an effort to forge national identity, crept back into common usage and regime practice by the mid-1990s. Tribal identities remain important in many regions of the Middle East. They provide the basis for many forms of communal and political solidarity, although never exclusive ones, in many parts of the Arabian peninsula, Iraq, Jordan, Syria, among Arabs in Israel, and in the Palestinian areas.

If you think it is bulky,don't buy it,simply.But know,that when you hold 3650 in hand it does not look like a big phone,it looks more like 3410.
I think the Nokia 7650 had a better design than the Nokia 3650. The size of the 3650 is kinda large and if size doesn't matter, then this could be a nice phone... But i'd rather stick to my Nokia 7650 :-D (p.s.: The lens of the 3650 is much more fragile to scratches, because you can't cover it, like the 7650; the keypad is also "strange"...)
why do you need pop port while it has an integrated camcorder and a camera in one? bulky is not necassery mean is useless, what you see in pictures are just to let you think that is big and bulky, in fact it is a small phone and you won't expect how small it is, I own this phone since the last 3 weeks
i think the nokia 3650 is a great design and i think it will be a good sell for nokia i think it is the best phone nokia has designed i will bye it right when it comes out
This is an awesome Cell phone! Makes the 7650 look pedestrian and doesn't it have a whole lot more. This is the watershed of a new era in cell phone telephony
ok features,,but too bulky,no poport,no fm,,big is useless if lack features,,
I love this mobile i think that it is the best mobile in the world it is cooooooooool. simplemente el mejor
There is software for playing MP3 files,you can surf the www,and i-mode pages,videocapture is 15 seconds,but it can be continiously recorded up to 15 minutes,there is a sound with camcorder,there is only sound recorder-1 minute,any more questions?
plz someone tell me which phones can i surf the
web (WWW) with, just like the communicator.
and what is xhtml?
if you want my own opinion here it is:
I think the P800 and 3650 are targeting different markets. you can't compare both phones. I own a Nokia 3650 for a month now and liked it a lot, it's the Asian version. The official english release will be by the end of this month or on begining of March. P800 has a touch screen and just a camera, BUT no cam corder, and it's targeting the business people. The 3650 has a camcorder and an Image still camera, It looks nice and unique, and this phone targets the youth. The key bad is not too hard to get used too, for sure when u use it for the first couple of time will be mad, but after that you will be a lucky guy and happy to own this phone. It has it all, Bluetooth, Tri-band, cam corder, camera, GPRS, MMS, WAP, XHTML browser, RealOne player, Xpress one covers. What else would you need? it's a super phone
Rishi, can't aggree with you there, Nokia is relasing weaker and weaker products. Innovative companies like Neonode will take huge shares from Nokia in the future. Check it out.
are you guys interested in buying the nokia 3650? i'm selling it for $550.00 each excluding shipping. e-mail me to order or for more info. thanks!
i can simply say nokia is the best all the time.the addition "viewing video clips" is best addition to watch "cricket world cup best clips" as this is stylus & touchscreen free. simply, nokia is the best.
I'd like anyone to email me at least and tell me is the nokia 3650 worth buying and if its really that great.. and is the keypad easy to get used too?
do not make a mistake ,first see you are comparing what with what ? I belive P800 is gold and you want to compar it with silver . This dose not work silver is silver and gold is gold .Just for your information I have a mobile shop and have test both verey carefully for a week and both are great on their own range .

Wouldn't it be great if, upon first meeting someone, you could just lay down the truth about yourself and move on with your life? Like, "hi, my name's Schmendrick. Although I appear to be extremely bored right now, I'm actually quite the outgoing people-person." And then whoever you just met would automatically trust that Schmendrick is an outgoing people-person, regardless of how you look or act, and that'd be that. What a great world that would be! There'd probably be an endless supply of beer and cheese fries in that world, too, but it's moot, because that world does not exist. Instead, in this world – the "real world," if you will – you can't expect people to disregard their first impression of you in favor of whatever you think is true about yourself. Image is everything when you first meet someone, be it a potential employer, a potential frat brother or a potential wife, which means that your habit of rolling out of bed five minutes before every job interview could be the very thing that's keeping you on the government's unemployment payroll.
Thankfully, it's ridiculously easy to make an amazing first impression. All you have to do is appear put-together one time in order to make people think you always roll that way, so as long as you're willing to commit to, say, an extra 20 minutes of prep time before a big meeting, interview or date, you'll become one of those guys who leaves people wanting more, instead of the guy who continually damages his reputation irreparably by simply showing up. To learn how to make a killer first impresh, just consult your friend CHET: C(leanliness), H(andshake), E(ye contact), T(alkativeness). If that's still too complicated, then here. We've broken it down for you.
The golden rule of a good first impression is "pay attention to how you look." Just accept the fact that appearances matter; it isn't a product of an overly image-conscious society, it's a product of biology. People notice what they can see before they notice anything else. For example, if you show up to a cocktail party sporting a Metallica t-shirt and natty jeans because you're "too cool to care about your appearance," then the first thing people are going to notice won't be your devil-may-care attitude, but instead the questionable judgment you've exhibited by dressing like a street urchin for a black-tie-optional event.
Everything starts with good hygiene. If you have somewhere important to be and someone important to impress, then don't skip the shower (nor the shave, nor the copiousness of deodorant… do, however, skip the cologne, because very, very few scents are actually as pleasant and tantalizing as you think they are). Once you've rejoined the world of the showered masses, be sure to choose a tasteful outfit. Hopefully you already own at least one good suit, one nice pair of shoes and one respectable dress shirt, but if you don't – or if it's news to you that pajama pants aren't acceptable daytime attire – then get thee to the Men's Wearhouse and procure some combination of items that will pass for presentable in a pinch. If you manage to do nothing else, at least put on a pair of clean, wrinkle-free pants and comb/brush/spit-smooth your hair before you leave the house.
Your handshake is like a physical manifestation of your business card, so a weak, weeny-like grip equates to a title of "Sissypants, Esq." below your embossed moniker. Even if you've managed to successfully dress yourself, you'll be instantly written off if your grasp is so delicate that it could handle a newborn kitten. You don't need to break anyone's hand; you just need to grip firmly, shake twice, and let go. Repeat: grip firmly, shake twice, let go. Just as you shouldn't offer a limp shake, you also shouldn't shake too vigorously or linger for too long, because you don't want to look like you're trying to figure out how to kill your new acquaintance and bake him into a pie.
Eye Contact
When you know you look good (which you will after you take a nice long shower and don your brand-new big-boy outfit), you're more likely to appear confident, which will help you immensely as you attempt to impress a date or land a hugely important account. However, if you're still dealing with sweaty palms and a churning stomach even after sprucifying your image, then an easy way to fake confidence is to make – and hold – eye contact with your conversation partner. It's all too easy to shift your gaze mid-sentence towards the window in an effort to regain your composure or re-board your train of thought, but that's also a dead giveaway that you're not cool and composed, but instead scared crapless and about to cry. If it helps, practice with someone beforehand; most of us are too stuck in our own little worlds to have a lot of experience making meaningful eye contact with other humans, so you might need to get comfortable with the process in a safe place before busting it out in a scary one.
After you've aced the visual and tactile portions of this lesson, the key to really sealing the deal is not to let yourself babble like a fool because you're nervous, excited or dangerously close to peeing your pants. When in doubt, shut your mouth. Nervous chatter is not only insanely annoying, but it's also a red flag that you might not be as chill as you've somehow managed to make people think you are. If you should find yourself stuck in the middle of a babble storm of terrible, don't give up, just cut yourself off and shift focus back to whoever is unfortunate enough to be stuck talking to you. You can always fall back on the fact that people love to talk about themselves, even if you've dug yourself into a conversational hole.

Last August, Richard and Sandy Sewell made a substantial donation to Hoag Hospital's $21-million Cancer Center in Newport Beach.
In fact, the Newport Beach couple's $500,000 donation is the largest single private contribution to the 65,000-square-foot facility, which will consolidate all outpatient cancer treatment resources under one roof and offer the latest treatment and research techniques.
But Sandy Sewell wanted to do more.
The result is Circle 1000, a support group of women donors to the Hoag Cancer Center, which will undergo ground breaking in April.
It is women, she says, who are most threatened by cancer.
"I think cancer is the biggest threat to women in today's modern world. In all the statistics you read, women have more cancer than men. I personally know 82 ladies in the harbor area who have had cancer, and they're all ages. A lot of it is because of breast cancer."

Why I am a monthly sustainer
Interview with Lawrence Foster, Sr.
The Campaign to End the Death Penalty (CEDP) stays afloat financially through our monthly sustainer program.
This program makes it easy for everyone to be a part of the fight to abolish the death penalty, no matter where you are or how limited your time is. Once a month, funds are automatically taken out of your account or charged to your credit card, and donated to the CEDP. These funds are used for publishing the New Abolitionist, taking prisoner phone calls, putting on the national CEDP tours, sending out mailings, and sustaining the work at the national office.
To join this important program contact Lily Hughes at firstname.lastname@example.com or visit our Web site at nodeathpenalty.org and download the form to mail in. You can donate as little as $5 a month—$10 or more if you are able.
Every donation is appreciated so much. At present, we have 120 sustainers, and we thank each and every one of you for helping the CEDP do what it does each and every day.
This month, we want to give the chance for one of our monthly sustainers, Lawrence Foster, to share with you why he chooses to donate monthly to the CEDP. Lawrence, who is 87 years old, is the grandfather of Kenneth Foster Jr. In 2007, Kenneth was scheduled to be executed in Texas on August 30. Lawrence, along with other family and activists and Kenneth himself, fought hard to urge Governor Perry to commute Kenneth's sentence.
Texas is known as the "belly of the beast" when it comes to executions. Rick Perry had never granted clemency before, unless the courts effectively made the de- cision for him. Perry was forced to do the
right thing because of significant public pressure. Kenneth Foster's commutation showed us that the Texas death machine is vulnerable to pressure. We talked to Lawrence Foster about the fight to save his grandson, the important work of the CEDP, and why he became a monthly sustainer.
Why did you join the monthly sustainer program?
Because I'm concerned with eliminating the death penalty. Anything I can do to further this cause, I will do it because I believe it is a very good cause.
Why is this issue so important?
There are a number of individuals who are on death row or had a death sentence, and it's really not fair. I don't approve of the death penalty in itself because I don't believe any man has the right to take an- other man's life.
It has been proven in some instances that an innocent life was taken by the death penalty. I am concerned that this will happen again. We're humans. Humans make mistakes. Juries can make mistakes and convict people who don't deserve it.
What is so special about the CEDP?
I have been in other groups, but as far as taking action on things, the CEDP knows what needs to be done and takes action immediately. Even if it may take a long time to see results, they remain consistent in what they do. My grandson was on death row. I believe that it was the effort put forth by the CEDP that saved his life. I don't think he would be alive if it wasn't for this organization.
How did your family and the CEDP save Kenneth?
We launched a letter-writing campaign, held marches, met with different officials. If it hadn't been for all of this, nobody would have heard of Kenny. His case is now known worldwide because of what this organization has done. I am pleased with this.
You have now been to the CEDP's annual convention in Chicago a couple of times. What is that event like for you?
It is a great event. People come together in a tremendous way. I was well pleased with it. Whenever the opportunity arises, I will make myself available for that event.
Even though Kenneth is no longer facing execution, you still remain committed to the fight to abolish the death penalty. Why?
I am concerned about humanity in itself. Even though I had a relative in that situa- tion who has been removed from death row, and there are others in the same situ- ation. Others are innocent or have com- mitted crimes that should not be punish- able by death. The fight must continue for others who are out there. This is a na- tionwide—no, a worldwide fight. Even if the death penalty is stopped here in Texas, where it is amplified, we are concerned with abolition in all states.
Any words you want to leave us with?
I will continue to support this cause fi- nancially, and with any facet of my body. Any way I can.

City Stroll Attire // All Under $75
Happy Thursday!
As some of you Portlanders know, the style here can be rather eccentric and unique. What I mean by that is, if you were to wear a darth vader mask, go go boots and snake skin leggings, there will be no judgement... Yes, this visual masterpiece was a real thing. All of this to say, if you are wanting to try a style trend and you are too nervous of what others might think or whether or not others will be wearing the same thing, you don't need to worry about that here in Portland. I am very thankful for that, because I used to worry all of the time about others' perceptions of my style.
Even though this outfit isn't necessarily what you would call "eccentric," it encompasses something I am very unfamiliar with - edgy and classic. Pairing a graphic tee with a mini skirt isn't something I am used to doing. But when I did, I couldn't believe I hadn't done so before!
My goal going into the season of Fall and the remaining days of Summer, is to go out of my style comfort and find outfits that don't necessarily convey what is trendy in the style world, but what is trendy to me. Please feel free to provide feedback along the way! For me, style is an art and a way of expression, so I can't wait to see what you like/don't like, and maybe you too can share your style along the way!

Believe it or not, the below slideshow is the progress of 1 painting– Illuminated Passages-1. Yes, that is right, it takes many layers to make one of my paintings.
The only painting that currently exists is the final rendition, labeled layer 11. I must admit, I probably neglected to photograph some layers, so there may have been closer to 15 layers in all, but you get the idea. So the way it works is that I paint a layer, allow it to dry, then paint another layer on top. I never fully cover the previous layer, and often use transparent liquid acrylic which allows you to see what was below while changing the color on top.
While this process is not quite as forgiving as working with layers in Photoshop, it has a very experimental quality that offers infinite possibilities. As much as I would love to say, delete a particularly ugly layer, or go back to a certain gorgeous one, the process of painting is just like life. You have to keep moving forward, taking the beauty and the grit, and make the most out of it. Each layer informs the next, and while you may not see any parts of the first few layers in the final painting, they form the building blocks of the painting.
I just adore creating in this manner. It is freeing to know that I can completely transform a painting with a single layer of paint, and I never know what it is going to look like when I begin. Check out the images below to see each layer close up.

Kell Ryan
Occupation: Founder member of Ryanair
Field(s) of expertise: Marketing, international growth, leadership, innovation
With over forty years of extensive airline experience Kell Ryan is known as expert in the aviation field, mainly with Ryanair. His knowledge covers several sectors such as operations, customer service training, marketing, sales public relations and media communications.
His first 24 years Kell worked for the Irish national airline Aer Lingus having been responsible for all operations, passenger and other airline handling contracts at London Heathrow Airport. He also had the position of Director Ground Operations, Sales and Marketing/PR, Customer Service.
He became part of Ryanair in its embryonic stage. The company was conceived by Dr T.A. Ryan, Kell's older brother. With the aim of revolutionising and changing air travel within Europe, Ryanair made air travel affordable to all and changed the way society works. Kell Ryan was responsible for the crucial transfer of establishing Ryanair to the then little known airport Stansted and then spent multiple years primarily marketing and promoting Ryanair within Europe. He is proud of having been a pioneering member of a team that has changed travel within Europe to the extent that in 1985 Ryanair carried 5000 passengers and in 2008 it carried 79 million passengers.
Now Global Topspeaker Kell Ryan is involved with many European tourism panels. As persuasive advocate of higher education, the native speaker is currently occupied with universities in Ireland, England, Germany and in the United States of America where he is also on the advisory board for the Embry Riddle Aeronautical University.
In Kell's keynotes the audience can feel the enthusiasm he passes his knowledge of Aviation and Tourism with. He gives an insight into Ryanair's success on the change of aviation in Europe, how it managed the change process, business culture, motivation, leadership, and most importantly of all for any company the unrelenting control of costs.
Ryanair's business model for revolutionised air travel is fascinating. This industry had not varied in 75 years and Kell illustrates the methods the company initiated to become the first low cost carrier in Europe and now the largest. Many airlines have tried to copy Ryanair but none was that successful.
As an international speaker Kell has given lectures in both formal and relaxed venues with numbers ranging from 25 to 500 delegates. NCR, McKinsey, The Retail 100 Club (UK's top CEO and CFO), McKinsey, Fujitsu and Tetra Pak are among the companies who have benefited from his huge knowledge just to name a few. In his speeches you get to know one of the grand business success stories of the past decade.

New York: A 115-year-old woman in US has been crowned the oldest person in the world, after previous record holder from Georgia passed away at the age of 116 earlier this week.
At 115 years and 245 days, Dina Manfredini of the Des Moines, Iowa, inherited the title after Besse Cooper of Georgia passed away.
Manfredini, a mother of four, was born in Italy on April 4, 1897. She came to the US when she was just 23 years old with her late husband in 1920, the `New York Daily News` reported.
"I`m old, old lady, but I work. Work hard. I like work,? Manfredini told The Des Moines Register back in 2004, when she moved into a nursing home at age 110.
The elderly woman, who has lived during three different centuries, held a wide range of jobs in her early years, from cracking eggs at a food-processing plant to filling shells with gunpowder on an assembly line during World War II. She also cleaned homes on the side until she was 90 years old.
"You know, she worked all her life and she did everything in moderation," her daughter told WHO-TV of the secret to her mother`s longevity in April, when the family celebrated Manfredini`s 115th birthday.
Manfredini currently lives at the Bishop Drumm Retirement Center in Johnston. Though her hearing is poor, she is relatively healthy and can move around with the help of a walker.
"She`s our special gift," her daughter, Enes Logli, said.
Around 70 people in the world are known to be 110 years old or more, the report said.
However, the Gerontology Research Group, which verified Manfredini`s age, believes that the number is even higher, with perhaps 300 to 450 "supercentenarians" currently living.
According to the report, the oldest known person ever was Jeanne Calment of Arles, France, who died at age 122 in August 1997.

Mon 29th Oct - LAWM in Lancaster - O'DEATH (USA) + Last Harbour + Ruby in the Dust
Monday October 29th 2007
The Yorkshire House, Parliament Street, Lancaster.
Doors 8pm, Entry £5
Advance Tickets: http://www.wegottickets.com/location/LAWM
LAWM presents a perfect night of jaw dropping high tempo darkness with New York's O'Death - frantic
gothic alt.country - our Halloween bash so feel free to express yourself with deathly dress - best
effort wins an O'Death cd
Five guys, maybe three shirts between them, take to the stage. There's a banjo, a fiddle, a drum set
littered with gas cans, chains, and broken cymbals. Then they all start howling, stomping; it's an
anachronistic jug band party in a junkyard with sing-along hooks and weathered vocals from another time.
Their fans, an ever-expanding congregation, sing along and follow the band with an almost religious
fervor, and as vocalist Greg Jamie's eyes roll back into his head there's a sense that something almost
sinisterly spiritual has overtaken everyone in the room. This is the world of O'DEATH.
With the re-release of Head Home, the critically acclaimed New York act has created a perfect companion
to their spellbinding live show. Part southern gothic spiritual, part moonshine fuelled hoedown, these
recordings, now presented with new remixes done by the band and Billy Pavone, are a timeless addition to
the canon of weird old America.
Check out http://www.myspace.com/odeath
It seemed like a perfect accompaniment to this to invite Manchester's LAST HARBOUR. Last Harbour are a
collective playing rustic, cinematically atmospheric songs that rattle and loom, at once epic and
intimate, harsh and beautiful. Using instrumentation that might traditionally be associated with folk
music, the band instead hammer and sculpt their music into unusual and beguiling forms. This is music
with a strong emotional content, both bitter and beautiful - a must for fans of bands such as
Tindersticks, Dirty Three and Nick Cave. "A record of seductive charm and nocturnal glower" (Uncut).
Check out http://www.myspace.com/lastharbour
Kicking off the night and now firmly installed as LAWM favourites are RUBY IN THE DUST. They have only
been gigging for less than a year but they have become instantly popular around Lancaster for their
original sound, a mix of cabaret, bar room jazz, with Arabic influences.

Facing Circumstances
Many couples fear bringing a child into the world in less than ideal circumstances. Admittedly, many children are born into painful, desolate circumstances across the globe each day. Even in a largely prosperous nation such as the U.S., many families struggle.
Your struggles may be material or financial in nature. Maybe you don't have good relationships with your parents or you lack a good support network. Maybe you know people will look down on you for having a baby at this time and place in your life, or maybe you fear that you will not be able to finish college and establish a good career. As you support your wife or girlfriend through this decision-making process, these are legitimate obstacles that you need to address.
However, none of these obstacles are insurmountable.
We all know people who have faced challenging circumstances and made it through to discover some unforeseen purpose in the midst of pain. The truth is, if we depend upon circumstances to be perfect in order for us to feel happy, secure, and at peace in life, we will probably only rarely experience any of those things. Often, there is little we can control about circumstances, yet we must learn how to discover happiness and peace even in the midst of difficult ones.
Important considerations
Perhaps you did everything possible (short of not having sex) to prevent pregnancy. In spite of your efforts, you are facing what you tried to prevent. If the two of you choose to terminate the pregnancy, maybe your troubles will seem to be over, but there are two realities you must confront:
- You have forfeited any potential purpose a child could have brought to your lives and to others in this world.
- Abortion does not just affect women. It affects men too. Even if you feel initial relief after the abortion is complete, guilt, grief, and a host of other psychological issues can surface later that may manifest in depression, addictions, or even violence and mar the successful, thriving life you wanted to have.
Although abortion may seem like the best path because you see exactly where it leads, absolute closure may prove to be an illusion. However, if the two of you choose to continue this pregnancy, though you don't know exactly what will happen or how you will overcome all the obstacles, you may find that things do work out well and possibilities emerge.
We encourage you to weigh these aspects as you make your decision. You are not alone; others have overcome the challenging circumstances they face. It is possible for you to overcome yours as well.

Prudential Financial:
Gregory Roth, 973-802-6585

Legal & General:
Deborah Goodier, +44-203-128-1299
NEWARK, N.J., December 21, 2017 - Prudential Retirement, a unit of Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYSE:PRU), and Legal & General Group plc ("Legal & General") concluded their sixth longevity reinsurance agreement since 2014. The Prudential Retirement Insurance and Annuity Company (PRIAC) assumes longevity risk for approximately $800 million (£600 million) in pension liabilities, which are held by Legal & General as part of its bulk annuity business. The transaction covers more than 2,000 pensioners. Legal & General and Prudential have now partnered on six transactions that together reinsure nearly $8 billion in longevity risk.
The agreement signals the resurgent market for longevity reinsurance and de-risking solutions in the U.K. in 2017, with market volumes up significantly since the 2016 Brexit vote. The de-risking of pension schemes has become an expectation among shareholders and key stakeholders in companies across the globe.
"Prudential is proud to strengthen its partnership with Legal & General," said David Lang, Prudential's lead negotiator for this transaction. "As a result of these agreements, Legal & General can better manage its longevity risk and secure the retirement benefits of thousands of U.K. pensioners." Prudential's most recent transaction with Legal & General prior to this was in October 2016.
Joyeeta Kanungo, head of new business reinsurance for Legal & General, said: "This transaction marks a furthering of our partnership with Prudential, whose expertise and strength we value highly. The transaction is also another example of longevity reinsurance having a positive impact in enabling U.K. pension schemes to de-risk efficiently with a strong insurer such as Legal & General."
Bill McCloskey, Prudential's head of transactions for international longevity reinsurance, said, "The longevity reinsurance market is more vibrant than ever, especially in the U.K. With this agreement, Legal & General is tapping into Prudential's unique ability to keep up with the huge demand in the market today, and benefits from our use of predictive analytics and the strongest transaction team in the industry. These investments have enabled Prudential to develop and sustain meaningful relationships with its insurance counterparties."
Legal & General is one of the U.K.'s leading financial services companies. It has been active in the pension de-risking market for more than 30 years.
Prudential is a global leader in the pension reinsurance market with more than $45 billion in international reinsurance transactions since 2011, including the largest longevity risk transfer transaction on record, a $27.7 billion transaction involving the BT Pension Scheme. Prudential was named "Reinsurer of the Year" in 2017 by Risk.net for the fourth year in a row.

Established in 1836, Legal & General is one of the U.K.'s leading financial services groups and a major global investor, with a number of growing businesses in the U.S. and in other countries.

Hot off the press and coming soon to a public
library near you! Posters and bookmarks for the 2004
Statewide Summer Reading program went to the printer
this past week. Participating libraries will shortly be
receiving them in the mail. For the fi rst time ever, the
theme will appear on these popular promotional materi-als
in three languages: English, Spanish, and Navajo.
The READ* NM license plate, shown here, is
featured prominently on the bookmark. The poster con-tains
a large historical marker in the middle of a scenic
New Mexico photo. Surrounding the marker are many
of the SRP characters: Rosita the Roadrunner, Dusty the
Tumbleweed, Roja and Verde - the Chile Twins, Bisco-chita
( a smart cookie!), and Piñon J. The bookmark and
poster were created by graphic designer Mike Jaynes.
Hot Topics. What's hot in the news? Do you get those
questions that leave you grasping for the right straw?
" I read an article in last week's paper, at least
I think it was last week, about a bill that had
something to do with assault weapons. I can't
remember if it passed or not, but I would like to
see the text and fi nd out what happened to the
" I saw something in the paper a few days ago
about adopting wild horses. I think that the
article talked about a web site with photos of
horses ready for adoption, but I have thrown
away the paper and can't seem to fi nd that link
on the web, can you help me?"
" I read somewhere about problems with security
at nuclear weapons plants. The article men-tioned
an internal audit, can you help me fi nd
the text of that audit?"
Do these questions sound familiar? " Hot Topics
in the News: Links to Government Reports and Legisla-tion
Mentioned in the News" is a new reference service
starting up from the New Mexico State Library's Refer-ence
Department to help answer questions or expand
upon information reported in the daily news. Hot
Topics In the News will save you the time involved in
searching for that illusive bill number, report, or regula-tion.
Concentrating on reports released by the federal
government, links will be made on the morning of the
news release in most cases, with an emphasis on its im-pact
on New Mexico and local concerns. Focus will be
given to reports and legislation mentioned in the Santa
Fe New Mexican, Albuquerque Journal and selected
national radio and television broadcasts. The site will
link directly to the full text of the document when pos-sible.
In cases where a direct link is not possible, Hot
Topics will provide a link to the site where the text can
be found with search instructions for fi nding the report,
legislation or regulatory action.
The current link to Hot Topics on the
New Mexico State Library web page is: http://
www. stlib. state. nm. us/ services_ more. php? id= 361_ 0_
13_ 0_ M64. Plans are in the works to change the loca-tion
on the State Library web page in the near future.
We will alert users to the new location as soon as it is
Planning updates. For those of you working on long
range plans this year, Valerie Nye, Public Library

Tularosa library to open. Randi Northrop, the librari-an
at the new Tularosa Public Library, has been working
like mad to get all of the books cataloged and ready by
the start of National Library Week. She has set a date
for the open house on Saturday, April 17, at the Tularosa
Community Center, 1050 Bookout, from 10 a. m. to 2
p. m. There won't be any book check- out services that
day. Instead, the time will be used for meeting new
patrons, thanking everyone for their help, registering
patrons for library cards, and letting guest browse the
new library. There will also be a bake sale fundraiser, a
raffl e for a beautiful homemade afghan, and the oppor-tunity
to listen to some great live music from profes-sional
piano player, Brad White, who has so generously
offered his time and talent for the open house. Every-one
is invited to attend. For more information or to get
acquainted with Randi, call ( 505) 585- 9044 or e- mail

Rare books. The Palace of the Governors' Angélico
Chávez Library at 120 Washington Avenue, Santa Fe,
will host the display of two extremely rare 16th century
books from the Library of Congress, April 6- 8, 10 a. m.
to 5 p. m. Jon Newsom, Chief of the Music Division
of the Library of Congress, will be available to answer
questions about both books, an early 16th century Span-ish
choir book and a manuscript printed in Mexico City
in 1576. The display is free and open to the public.
The 16th century Spanish choir book, acquired
by the Library of Congress in 1940, is the only one of
its kind in the United States. The large book, a dramatic
2.5 feet high by 4 feet wide when open, was read by
the entire choir and required two adults to hold it open
and a third to turn the heavy vellum pages. Illustrated in
black, red and blue ink, the choir book refl ects the Latin
Mass in its music and text and Islamic tradition in its
fl uid decorative calligraphy.
The " Gradual Dominicale," printed in Mexico
City in 1576, is one of the earliest known manuscripts
printed in North America and contains music and text
still familiar to the Catholic Mass.
The Institute for Education and the Arts is a non-profi
t organization based in Washington, DC. Through
a community partnership program the Institute works
with local educators, artists, business and civic leaders,
and public offi cials to demonstrate the power of using
the arts to help teach core academic subjects at K- 12
levels and to facilitate adoption of sustained programs
of curriculum design and professional development. The
Institute is the education division of the National Music
Center and Museum Foundation, established in 2002
in association with the Smithsonian Institution and the
Library of Congress.
NM libraries poster. All public, academic, and school
libraries across the state will be receiving their annual
" Celebrate New Mexico's Libraries" month poster and
bookmarks this week. For this year's poster, the fea-tured
artist is Joel Nakamura, a resident of Santa Fe,
who is known for his unique style of modern folk art
with an urban edge. He was chosen to illustrate this
year's library promotion for his ability to convey the
regional, historical, and cultural uniqueness of New
Mexico in an intricate and engaging manner.
Nakamura's style has captured the attention of
clients like Time magazine, US News and World Re-port,
and the Los Angeles Times. His paintings have
enlivened the covers and pages of many other books,
publications, and marketing materials commissioned
by Lego, Merck & Co., Nike, and the Salt Lake 2002
Winter Olympic Games opening and closing ceremo-nies
programs. He has been profi led in Communication
Arts, Step Inside Design, and Confetti magazines and is
proud to be the recipient of over 200 industry awards of

The underlying purpose of our Society is to empower Zimbabwean orphans and give them a chance to lead a fulfilling life. We seek to give the children long-term help in their own community in order to guarantee their basic education and general welfare. We place special emphasis on the education of girls.
In term I 2017, we have 380 youngsters in our programme. Of these, 336 are at primary and secondary school level; the remainder are in tertiary education.
We try to keep the overall numbers low enough for staff members to get to know all the children and their home conditions individually. That way they can better understand the behaviour of pupils with different personalities and keep an eye on their school performance. We keep a record with photographs of every child.
We purposely maintain the gender balance so that it favours girls, as they still need more support in Zimbabwe than boys. Girls currently account for around 65% of the children in our programme.
Several of our students have successfully completed courses in a range of subjects in higher education - in hairdressing, commerce, pharmatechnology, motor vehicle systems, nursing, tourism,dressmaking and teaching. Four students have gained bachelor's degrees, in accounting or in history/development studies. Two students are currently at university and four at technical college in Zimbabwe. One student is at Shanghai University and six are studying in South Africa.
