a) Attachment I : Behavioural rules
b) Attachment II: Intellectual property
c) Attachment III: Invoicing policy and Listing of chargeable services
d) Attachment IV: Viewer admitted to surf MetaCosmo
1.1. MetaCosmo is a multi-user Service offered by the Company and includes Ingrid software, the Kosmo software package (the viewer which allows surfing), the website, and the Servers where virtual spaces are located.
1.2. The Company task is to give a turnkey Service (see 12) which allows Users to interact online, by exchanging data and information and by modifying as well the environment where they act. Since the Company neither controls nor certifies the communications' contents or the interactions among Users, it shall be held accountable neither for the contents nor for Users' behaviour.
1.3. The Company shall not be held accountable for quality, safety, legality, truth or precision of data exchanged within MetaCosmo; it shall neither guarantee nor certify the accuracy or precision of information exchanged, including any User identity information. Interactions and interchanges among Users are therefore a risk that the Service User shall take in full.
1.4. Because of its multimedia nature, the Service allows connections by means of links to sites, servers or third party's online services not own or controlled by the Company. It shall not be therefore held accountable as to these contents, claiming all the same the right to take legal action as provided for by the following 1.6. in case of irregularities or offences.
1.5 The intellectual property breach by a User to the detriment of another User within MetaCosmo is assimilated to a copyright breach and as such constitutes an infringement of Service utilization conditions; if established, it entails the immediate closing down of the Account responsible for. For more details see Policies in Attachment II (Intellectual property).
1.6 At its discretion the Company can refuse - whether in toto or partially - or delete any direct or indirect content considered potentially illegal, dangerous, harmful, prejudicial to the terms of Service, or in any case, judged incongruous and proceed - in the most serious cases - even to the cancellation of the Account responsible for (and of the relevant Clones). In this regard see Policies in Attachment I (Behavioural rules).
1.7 MetaCosmo could be subject to temporary Service suspensions, some of which planned and some others not. In both cases, the Company shall not be held responsible thereof and shall not grant any return of fees or other payments received before. In some cases Service breaks could produce a loss or a damage of data stored in servers. The Company shall not have the obligation to reproduce, extract or recreate lost/damaged data or refund the User for the suffered loss.
1.8 The Company shall not guarantee the Service temporal continuity and shall reserve the right to modify in any moment and without notice features and working modes. The User shall admit that the Service use is subject to this risk and mindfully take it.
1.9 MetaCosmo is a service governed by Italian Law; Users from abroad have to answer for any crime or breach according to local law.
2.1 The Company shall reserve in any moment the right to modify, integrate or restrict this Agreement and to obtain the relevant approval by means of one or more of these ways: through the www.metacosmo.com site, the Kosmo viewer, after the login to the e-mail Account, to the address declared by the User upon subscription.
2.2 When the User uses MetaCosmo after modifications provided for by the previous point 2.1. he shall accept them automatically.
3.1 By accepting this Agreement, the User declares he/she is eighteen-years-old at least. Should it emerge, upon adequate controls, that he/she is not major, the Company shall stop the Service without notice, by closing the Account. In no case, the Company shall be held accountable for actions performed by the minor within MetaCosmo during his or her visiting period.
3.2 Should MetaCosmo be used in the name and on behalf of a company, organization or any other legal person, the User declares he/she is a subordinate/collaborator/consultant of the same company or anyway a subject authorized by the same company. The Company shall reserve the right, in any time, to carry out the relevant check and - should it fail to obtain it - to suspend the Account.
3.3 MetaCosmo shall not be used by means of Clones during the whole period of the main Account's suspension, at the risk of definitive cancellation of the same.
3.4 MetaCosmo shall not be used through a new identity in the case one's own main Account has been terminated by the Company.
3.5 Users expelled by the Company on other virtual platforms shall not accede to MetaCosmo Service.
4.1 In order to use MetaCosmo Service the User is required to register by creating an Account. The Account will allow identification within MetaCosmo and be associated to the Avatar chosen in this step. Registration shall be made on http://www.metacosmo.com site in the section "Login". Requested information shall be entered in the provided application form (MetaCosmo Data); information given shall be accurate, complete and true. The User shall update data he/she entered by using Account management instruments given in the same site.
4.2 The User can, at his/her discretion, create additional Accounts (Clones) provided that his/her main Account has met the requirements set for by this Agreement. More details relevant to registration and clones utilization are given in the following point 4.7.3.
4.3 The User shall be accountable for any and all activities carried out within MetaCosmo through his/her Account and the relevant Clones. Should the Company discover frauds, criminal offences or other behaviours infringing - even partially - the terms and conditions of this Agreement, it can suspend or close the Account and any relevant Clones.
4.4 Upon subscription the User shall give his/her name and any other information requested being sure to give them correct and true. Should he/she create an account on behalf of another person he/she shall have a regular authorization thereof. The Company shall reserve the right to remove an Account or a clone in the case it has offensive, coarse, ideological names or may create confusion with any and all trademarks or copyrights or other property rights, or may mislead other Users about his/her identity or affiliation (e.g. the name of a known real person). Even names already existing in other virtual realities shall not be used without the previous assent of the Company which will evaluate case by case the applications giving its consent only upon due controls.
4.5 The User shall be responsible for the password entered and shall keep it confidential and shall be held accountable for its incautious disclosure. In no case, the Company shall be held accountable for damages originated by the User failure to comply with this safety standard.
4.6 Should the User decide to take advantage of Chargeable Services offered within MetaCosmo, e.g. purchasing of virtual Spaces (SIM) he/she shall refer to "Envoicing policies and Listing of chargeable services" (Attachment III) where the detail of the different costs is set down for each item. The User shall accept to guarantee the payment in advance for services purchased and shall verify, for services given against a constant fee, (e.g. Virtual Spaces) that the chosen means of payment can satisfy this requirement during the whole period of use of the service. The Company can claim the right of suspending the Service or - in case of evident overdue payments - of closing the Account, taking any subsequent legal action for recovering the credit.
4.7 Metacosmo offers three subscription types. When subscribing, the User is free to choose which best suits his/her needs:
4.7.1 Guest Account: it's a transitional Account that provides for an activity period of thirty (30) days, after which if upgrade to Metacosmo has not been carried out, the access is automatically disabled. The user will have the possibility to ask the reactivation with upgrade from Guest to Meta through http://www.metacosmo.com site in the section "Account"; when the term is due the Account shall be definitely terminated without further notice. During its life span the Guest has functions suited for a simple exploration of MetaCosmo: it can move between the different Regions (provided that they have a public access), create and exchange contents, interact with other Users. It cannot access Chargeable Services including the purchase of EuroCredits or Virtual Spaces or create its own Clones.
4.7.2 Meta Account: it's the basic Account. It can operate all the functions provided for including the access to chargeable Services or the clones activation as better described in the following paragraph.
4.7.3 Clone Account; the User already registered in Meta Account can, because of service and/or business reasons, create his/her own Clones; such operation shall be carried out by log in to www.metacosmo.com site and by accessing to his/her own personal page which contains a special section. The creation of the first two Clones is free of charge while for the further ones the listing in Attachment III shall apply (Invoicing policy and listing of chargeable services).
4.8 The Company shall have the right to refuse for any reason the registration of an Account by terminating it immediately and - in the most serious cases - by stopping User access to MetaCosmo.
5.1 The term "Personal Data" shall refer to any information that can be used for identifying a subject including his/her name and surname, home or job and e-mail address, telephone numbers and other contact information. The User shall allow the collection and use of his/her own personal data. The access to the information hereof is solely reserved to the Company employees and to the server provider of the Service.
5.2 There are different levels of information being collected depending also on how much the Service is used and on the type of Account used. The first information are requested while subscribing and directly given by the User. Further information come from websites relevant to the hardware used and to the type of connection and in the end information relevant to the Account, which shall include those given by User in his/her profile, scenes visited, transactions charges and parts involved etc.
5.3 The User can choose whether to disclose personal information and data by activating an Account Pro or through MetaCosmo Forum online. If he/she will do so, he/she shall be aware that these information will be disclosed and privacy policies give up.
5.4 The Company undertakes to protect Users privacy by using data and information given as to the previous point 5.2. in compliance with current regulations.
5.5 As a partial derogation from what above, the Company can disclose personal or other information relevant to Accounts, in the following cases:
5.5.1 to comply with current regulations or legal proceedings;
5.5.3 to protect the Company's interests and those of Users as well;
5.5.4 to help competent Authorities during an investigation for any suspected fraud or illegal action.
5.6 Whoever uses MetaCosmo or its websites outside Italy shall be aware that the personal information collected shall be filed in Italy at the Company's office; he/she shall therefore allow information transfer outside his/her Country.
5.7 The User shall allow the Company to communicate with him/her through the e-mail he/she has given for any and all purpose concerning Service.
6.1. Using MetaCosmo, the User shall comply with some behavioural rules among which the Behavioural Standards (Attachment I) aimed at safeguarding the residents' interests
6.2. The User shall particularly accept not to perform any cyber piracy or activities which are either illegal or seen as virtually dangerous by the Company, especially not to transmit software contents or lines of code which can be harmful or anyway aiming to hinder the functionality of other Accounts, or performing systems prejudicial to other Users' privacy. Namely:
6.2.1. Sending or transmitting viruses, trojans, worms, spyware or any other similar application/program aiming at hindering the Service functioning or injuring the interests or rights of other Users;
6.2.2. Sending or transmitting programs aimed at collecting data or information about other Users without their consent;
6.2.3. Using spam, junk mail, letter chains, pyramid systems or any other tool aiming at transmitting unsolicited or unauthorized advertising;
6.2.4. performing by means of Clones - either directly or indirectly - behaviours that are prejudicial with the normal use of service by other Users;
6.2.5. Entering or trying an unauthorized access to Accounts of other Users or to virtual Spaces closed either to the public or to the Avatar trying the access
6.3. The User shall not transmit or publish contents either prohibited by law or considered upsetting, clearly violent, or breaking someway the rights of another User including rights and copyright of a third party. Namely:
6.3.1. publishing, displaying, transmitting contents breaking - in toto or partially - intellectual property rights including rights of a third party;
6.3.2. publishing, displaying, transmitting items considered prohibited under any law;
6.3.3. publishing, displaying, transmitting racial ethnic contents or inciting to discrimination;
6.3.4. publishing, displaying or transmitting contents defaming any religion;
6.3.5. impersonating other avatars or well-known people without their consent;
6.3.6. performing obscene or shameful behaviours thus harassing other Users;
6.3.7. publishing, displaying, transmitting any material which can be harmful, threatening, bothering, defamatory, false, slanderous or invading privacy of another User or even a person external to MetaCosmo.
6.4. Within MetaCosmo gambling shall be forbidden in any form; contents aiming at this purpose shall be immediately removed.
6.5. The User can - under his/her responsibility - report to the Company breakings of the behavioural standards hereof through the instrument of Report Abuse at his/her disposal in Kosmo viewer.
6.6. Any breaking of Rules of this Section and of Policies given in the Attachment shall imply a forewarn followed by the suspension and in the most serious cases by the cancellation of the Account. Should the User have used a Clone to harass other residents or anyway to break these rules, the disciplinary actions provided for shall affect the main Account.
7.1. Eurocredits (€C) are "virtual tokens" based upon a licence granted by the Company aimed to allow the exchange of contents, performances or services among Users. EuroCredits are available for purchasing and distribution at discretion of the Company and are not refundable against money.
7.2. Because of its nature, licence can be transferred by the owner to any other User
7.3. The User shall acknowledge that Eurocredit is neither a real value nor a financial instrument; the terms "buying" or "selling" Eurocredits shall be solely referred to the transfer of this licence.
7.4. The Company can, in any moment and without refunding or compensating, revoke licence for Eurocredits to an Account. This shall be in the following cases:
7.4.1. when Eurocredits issue is interrupted for any reason even not inherent to Company's working;
7.4.2. when the Account owner is found to have done frauds or cheatings;
7.4.3. when the Account owner has been cancelled for breaking this Agreement;
7.4.4. when the Account owner has not complied with payments obligations.
7.5. Eurocredits can be occasionally bought, sold or exchanged with other virtual tokens by subjects not affiliated with the Company. In these cases, the Company shall not, by no means, be held accountable for these transactions.
8.1. Within MetaCosmo it's possible to buy a licence to obtain one or more personal spaces on servers; these spaces are made available in the form of "Virtual Land" (also called "Sim" or "Region" or "Land"). Within, the owner shall have the possibility to manage contents in a complete independent way but complying with this Agreement's conditions allowing or denying the access to other Users. Any Agreement made with a Third Party-User shall be anyway consistent with the Service Terms thereof.
8.2. Virtual Space can be bought by Meta Accounts (Guests and Clones excepted) either by activating procedure on MetaCosmo website in the section "Buy a Land", or by buying it out from other Users-Sellers, as better defined in the next point 8.5. Virtual Space purchase and maintenance costs are defined in Attachment III (Invoicing Policy and listing of chargeable services).
8.3. Standard Region provides for a licenced space of 256 (two hundred fifty six) virtual metres per 256 (two hundred fifty six) virtual metres and allows to put in a total amount of contents of 16.000 (sixteen thousand) quarks (also called primitive or prim). Exceeding quarks (i.e. those over 16 thousand) shall be automatically removed without any previous notice and the Company shall not be held accountable neither for this return nor for objects which can be lost. The Region can take in no more than 80 avatar, over which it will be defined full and entering of further avatars will not be allowed.
8.4. Purchasing of Standard Regions by Companies or organizations shall be allowed when they use virtual spaces for non-profit or non-promoting aims but for corporate projects. In this case the Company shall provide them with the same characteristics as those set forth herein at reduced prices. For taking advantage of these special terms the User shall demonstrate to be part of this organization and shall engage in carrying out within the chosen Region the activity provided for by the purposes of the company or organization he/she represents.
8.5. The Service owner acknowledges that the Virtual Space is a licence fee and not a real property; it ensues that definitions such as "buying" and "selling" land have - as in the case of Eurocredits - the same meaning of "licencing in and out".
8.6. The license granted upon Virtual Spaces can be transferred by the owner to any other User provided that the latter complies with Agreement's rules and that the transferring modes comply with the Terms of Service. Notice of sale and taking over operations shall be given to the Company through a special ticket. The Company shall thereafter transfer Virtual Space maintenance costs upon the taking-over User.
8.7. Upon a Virtual Space purchasing, the User can ask his/her positioning on Grid and the name to be given to the Region. In order to guarantee privacy among residents, a Region shall not be close to another one but separated at least by a space on each side unless:
8.7.1. Regions belong to the same User who expressly apply for their side-by-side positioning;
8.7.2. Two different Users wish to put their properties side-by-side. In this case they shall both give e-mail communication to the Company.
8.8. The User owning a Region can sub-divide great dimension lands into smaller plots also in order to sublet these spaces and setting a rent. In this case he/she can authorize to modify totally or partially the characteristics of the plot rent out. Unlike the content of the previous point 8.6., this operation shall not imply an out-licence, therefore the licence owner shall remain the holder of any and all obligations undertaken with the Company particularly with reference to maintenance costs and compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
8.9. The Company shall reserve the right to control Virtual Spaces licenced out supervising that, in no case, conditions of this Agreement are broken. It shall also have the possibility of revoking - in any moment and without any notice, repayment or compensation - the licence granted should it find frauds, illegal behaviours or any other breaking of service terms, including non-payment.
The Company shall in particularly have the right:
8.9.1. to modify lands' sub-division methods, i.e. making available or giving other lands; confiscating abandoned ones or revising rules and policies relevant to connection and sub-division of regions;
8.9.2. to modify altitudes or textures of Lands owned either by Users or by the Company or modify Users' capacity of interacting on Land's characteristics;
8.9.3. to modify current rules or standards relevant to limitations of the type of contents, of the style and designing of virtual objects, and to modify rules for virtual spaces' buying and selling.
8.9.4. to change name of a Region, should it come out - for instance - that more regions have the same name or should the name break the rules as to this Agreement or break a third party' s rights;
8.9.5. to increase or reduce costs defined in the Listing of charges for purchasing and maintaining Virtual Spaces, to modify charges or change the relevant invoicing policy (e.g. method of payment);
8.9.6 to impose limits to resources, for instance to the amount of Avatars, quarks, meshes, scripts allowed;
8.9.7. to confiscate lands which are either no more supported or occupied by an Account not complying with rules;
8.9.8. to modify limits concerning the type of contents allowed, including categories of access
9.1. The Company shall recognize intellectual property rights referred to the single User who guarantees to own these rights and/or licences and authorizes Company and MetaCosmo users to use them according to procedures provided for and regulated by this Agreement. The User - first hand - shall protect and enforce them. In particular, he/she shall verify the type of licence he/she owns and whether it gives the licensing-out possibility or is limited to personal use only.
9.2. By entering, displaying or presenting any content whose he/she is the owner through servers, website or other service areas, the User shall automatically grant the Company a "licence of user-generated contents". This non-exclusive and royalty-free license, liable to be subcontracted and transferred to a third party, allows the Company to display and distribute contents loaded only in order to promote and improve the Service. This licence includes also the right for the Company to copy and analyse the content thereof, if deemed necessary, also for debugging or test aims, always with a view to the service and its improvement.
9.3. By making his/her own contents available, the User allows users a non-exclusive "licence for user-generated contents" which enables access to the content and provides for the right to display, use, reproduce, distribute, prepare content-derived works within the limits set by himself/herself. More precisely the author shall use the system of authorizations provided for by MetaCosmo which consists in making - or not making - a content becoming a "copy", "modify", o "transfer" version thus showing other users how they can use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derived works or execute them by complying with these service terms.
9.4. Owning a licence for user-generated contents" involves only licence and the consequent right of use (within the written-above limits), therefore doesn't include buying the object's property or transferring any copyright or other intellectual property present in the content being bought. The use of terms like "buying" and "selling" as used in this Agreement shall be understood as follows:
9.4.1. "Selling" shall mean transferring a "licence of users-generated contents" either against eurocredits or another payment mode in compliance with the terms of service;
9.4.2. "Buying" shall mean acquiring a "licence of users-generated contents" against eurocredits or another type of payment in compliance with the terms of service.
9.5. At any time and for whatever reason the User can remove copies of contents entered in MetaCosmo; by doing so, the relevant licences shall be revoked without prejudice to some restrictions. It will therefore be possible to cancel copies of contents through Service standard functions (for instance by emptying the avatar inventory or website recycle bin) but cancellation hereto shall not apply to contents in other users' inventories or elsewhere in MetaCosmo. These contents will therefore survive. This shall also apply for the licence granted to the Company which remains valid in accordance to the previous point 9.2 provisions.
9.6. The User shall respect both third party's intellectual property rights relevant to imported contents, and - within MetaCosmo - Company's and other Users' rights. It is forbidden to publish, load, present any content protected by intellectual property rights (including privacy rights) if the User is not entitled to or without the owner's special authorization.
9.7. The prohibition provided for by the previous point 9.6 shall also be extended to contents created on other virtual platforms and imported both for personal and business use, even if their author is not present in MetaCosmo.
9.8. For more details or for what not provided for in this Section, referring to Attachment II (Intellectual property) is requested.
10.1. The Company shall have the exclusive use of its trademarks (as to logo and name) i.e.: MetaCosmo (indicating Service), InGrid (indicating virtual platform), Kosmo (indicating the resident viewer). The use of these trademarks by a third party shall be made upon a written authorization by the Company. In no case verbal agreements shall be considered valid.
10.2. The Company shall have the right to take any necessary steps in order to protect its trademarks from an unauthorised or improper use.
11.1. The User can suspend or cancel his/her Account at any time and for whatsoever reason by logging on http://www.metacosmo.com site and activating disabling procedure in the special section provided for in the personal page. The Account and the relevant Clones will be immediately suspended. The User shall however have 15 (fifteen) days' time for a possible re-activation to be requested through the same procedure. In absence of further notice and when time is over, the Account shall be definitively cancelled along with Clones and all data stored on server. Closing an Account shall entail the stopping of any and all obligations provided for by the Agreement hereto, withstanding the responsibility for debts non paid and upon which the Company shall have the right to be indemnified taking - if necessary - any and all available legal steps.
11.2. The Company can suspend or cancel any Account along with Clones, data and statements connected should it find a breaking of rules as to this Agreement that the User declared to accept. Upon Account closure, the Agreement hereto shall be automatically terminated.
11.3. The Company can either suspend or cancel an Account and the relevant Clones in order to safeguard MetaCosmo interests or whenever the Account hereof represents a risk for the community. It can be also suspended or cancelled without any further notice if Company suspects that access to MetaCosmo violates a condition of probation. The suspended or cancelled Account shall not have the right to any compensation or reimbursement. The User shall accept that Company shall not be held accountable for this suspension or closure.
11.4. The definitive cancellation of an Account, as written above, entails losing Clones and all licences, contents and data; the User shall accept this risk. After the Account cancellation the User will no more be able to have access to his/her bank statement or to contents or data stored on server. Any and all licences granted by the Company in order to use the Service, including those for virtual Spaces and for EuroCredits, shall be invalidated without having right to claim for damages.
11.5. Both in the case of intentional and forced cancellation, data created within MetaCosmo by the Account (data, meshes, scripts, texts, music, or whatsoever content) shall remain and the User shall not have the possibility to request a compensation or refund.
12.1. The Company shall neither control and be held accountable for either direct or indirect information given to Users nor shall be held accountable for their actions. The Company shall be expressly exempt from damages, losses and liabilities (actual or consequential) deriving from or connected to any dispute between Users.
12.2. The Company supplies a Service - including limitless support as to servers, website, Account opening and managing - and all data present in MetaCosmo, which can be defined as "turn-key project"; any and all contents, eurocredits and virtual spaces are released with no guarantees at all. The User shall take the risk of losing data he/she entered; there is no guarantee and neither implicit nor explicit value is recognized relevant to any intellectual property or right registered by the User in servers or present in his/her Account.
12.3. In no case, the Company shall be held accountable for any and all damages whether they be incidental, unexpected, indirect, consequential to the loss of data or gains deriving from Service malfunctioning (covering server, website, software), including the planned or unplanned suspension or termination of the Service. The Company shall not held accountable even for damages deriving from data and/or gains losses due to the suspension or closure of an Account.
12.4. The User shall expressly exempt the Company from any and all damages, responsibilities, claims, expenses, compensations possibly deriving from:
12.4.1. any and all violations by a third party using the same Service;
12.4.2. Misuse of Service, including any and all negligent or illegal behaviour of other Users within MetaCosmo.
12.5. The User is aware that his/her involvement in the Service, including creating or importing data, shall not make him/her become a Company's subordinate or a collaborator, being therefore anything whatsoever due as payment or indemnity for actions he/she has freely undertaken; the Agreement hereof shall not imply any franchising, partnership or joint venture relation.
13.1. Any and all communications under the Agreement hereto and any other which may arise afterwards during the contractual relationship, shall be sent to the Company office (Via della Rocca 21, 10123 Torino Italia), or mailed to the following addresses:
14.1. The parties agree that the Turin Court shall have jurisdiction to hear any dispute under this Agreement excluding Courts located where the User lives or where the Agreement (including the Attachments thereof) has been executed (through acceptance) or where the obligation deriving from the judgement is to be fulfilled.

Attachment I - Behavioural Rules
Similarly to what happens in real life, MetaCosmo use provides for the compliance with behavioural guidelines based upon correctness and mutual respect among Users. Breaking these rules, as specified in point 6 determines a breaking of the Terms of Service and can bring to an Account suspension, and in the most serious cases, to its deletion. Behavioural Rules as written hereunder apply to any and all MetaCosmo areas including Forum, 3D Store and Website.
1. Harassments
Said that harassment can - in a virtual world - imply many connotations, a censurable behaviour generally refers to interacting with other Users in offensive, vulgar, coarse ways. This behavioural category includes also cases of threats, intimidations, advances or unsolicited sexual propositions. Even pushing or yanking another Avatar by using scripts or other functions shall be considered harassment.
2. Racism and intolerance

Attachment II - Intellectual property
Attachment III - Invoicing policy and listing of chargeable services Introduction
"Invoicing policy" of MetaCosmo chargeable Services and the relevant listing of charges are an integral and substantive party of the Terms of Service of the Agreement hereto. Access to MetaCosmo is free of charges, nevertheless some payments are provided for should the User decide to have access to the following Services: 1) Virtual spaces' purchasing-and-maintenance fee 2) Virtual spaces' rent 3) EuroCredits' buying and selling 4) Optional Services There are also other fees - connected to the use of Service - called " Lumpsum payment of services" such as those inherent to textures, sculpts, meshes, multimedia contents etc. and those inherent the formation of groups or the re-activation of a voluntarily closed Account. The last ones are nevertheless expressed in EuroCredits and are treated separately.
Invoicing Policy
a.1. Almost all statements in the Listing of charges hereof (excepting those expressed in EuroCredits) are given on a monthly basis. Amounts are invoiced monthly always on the same date (e.g. the 15th) starting from the date in which subscription is made.
a.2. Since Service is supplied in Italy, all prices applied and transactions made (excepting buying and selling within Metacosmo which are regulated in EuroCredits) deduce 21% VAT. On any Account's banking statement, which can be downloaded also in in PDF format, it's possible to notice a summary section of any and all operations made, written in a single total amount. This serves as a monthly synthesis of IVA invoices. Upon request to the Company the User will have the possibility of receiving at home a summary invoice.
Buying virtual spaces is subject to the payment of an "installation cost" and of a "monthly fee". Two types of Virtual Space are available: the Standard Region and the Educational Region. The last one is reserved to companies, authorities and/or institutions using these spaces for non-profit aims. Virtual spaces technical specifications are located in points 8.3 e 8.4 written above.Tab. 1
The installation cost is paid on a lump sum basis and shall not be refunded by the Company when User will give the Region back. Costs are paid in advance and directly charged on credit cards or on PayPal accounts. By giving a credit card number or another method having similar characteristics of payment authorization, the User enables the Company to make withdrawals relevant to charges due until his/her Account is active and makes use of the Service The Company shall in no case be held liable for any additional charges on User's credit card, for instance should plafond provided for by the same card be exceeded.
It's possible to rent a whole Region for a short period (minimum 3 days). The cost, payable through credit card or PayPal shall be charged the first day of renting and amount to 10 euro per day plus VAT. The User will have property privileges for the rental duration. For periods equal or longer than a week he/she will have the possibility to ask the Company the name and the position on Grid to give to the Region and this Service shall be given free of charge.
In order to favour the Company exchanges within MetaCosmo, the Users can change their currency into Eurocredits, authorising the Company to charge on credit cards or PayPal the relevant commissions and, in the case of a non-UE resident, the additional charges for converting the respecting currencies into euro. These costs are summarized in Table II.Tab. 2
Eurocredits can be bought through www.metacosmo.com site in the Account section or directly within MetaCosmo by selecting button €C which is to the left of Account's eurocredits' balance.
Other optional Services connected to the management of a Region can be requested. They are summarized in Table III.Tab. 3
Finally, there are other costs expressed only in eurocredits, subject - therefore - to taxation only at the moment of buying the virtual currency, called charges for using service which are debited only when the service is used. (see Table VI).Tab. 4
Attachment IV - Viewers admitted to surf MetaCosmo
As described in Preliminary Remarks, the viewer (or Client) is the application which allows surfing and interacting with a virtual world. The User is suggested to use the official client Kosmo which allows, among other things, to fully exploit all MetaCosmo functions. Another allowed viewer is Storage Inventory (former Second Inventory) . It shall be noticed that the use of a viewer or of any application not present in the list entails the immediate suspension and - in the most serious cases - the Avatar cancellation.

A collection of ten World War I posters is now on display in the Briscoe Library. The collection, on loan from the San Antonio Public Library, features some very famous vintage posters dating back to 1917, such as Wake Up America, which depicts lady liberty personifying America asleep while the storm of war is brewing behind her, and "Uncle Sam's" I Want You, considered the "most famous poster in the world".
The display consists of lithographs depicting war propaganda that were commissioned by the U.S. government to inspire people to enlist. Posters were considered visually appealing, easily reproducible, and conveniently sized to paste on walls of buildings and windows of homes. The Division of Pictorial Publicity reached out to illustrators and encouraged them to volunteer their creativity to the war effort. The artists included James Montgomery Flagg, Charles Buckle Falls, Haskell Coffin, and others whose works also appeared on the cover of the Saturday Evening Post and other popular magazines. These posters are excellent examples of use of advertising strategies and graphic design of the period. They were designed to elicit a patriotic response, an urge to enlist, to pick up a flag, to support the men and women who participated as soldiers and nurses.
The collection will be on display in the library through the end of October.

Snuggling in your bed, drinking a cup of coffee and nibbling on some fried snacks is probably the most ideal way to spend lazy and gloomy days in winter. Sadly, with this weather comes the fear of becoming prone to infections; thanks to a weakened immunity system. During winters, you are in for an increased risk of cold and cough or flu. Did you know your diet may also have a role in aggravating your condition? If you haven't known this already, we can tell you about some foods that can potentially contribute to excessive cold and cough. However, let's first see what happens when you suffer from cold.You get cold when a virus attaches to the lining of your nose and throat. The immunity system sends white blood cells to fight against these viruses, but tends to fail, considering they are weak enough to lose out. Your nose and throat then gets inflamed and makes a lot of mucus. With so much energy lost in fighting the cold virus, you are left feeling fatigued and miserable. A weak immunity system and virus can completely get you down. We tell you foods that may invite more problems than solving them.
1. Dairy Products
While you may have heard everything good about dairy products, there is a chance that they may be sneakily increasing your cold, causing your body to produce more mucus. Do not completely give up on dairy as it is a good source of protein and vitamin D that can help your body fight against infection. Just ensure limited intake in order to avoid causing excessive mucus.
2. Caffeine Intake
Caffeine loaded foods and drinks like coffee, tea and soft drinks are all diuretics that tend to dehydrate your body and this can lead to much thicker mucus, encouraging cold and cough and a weaker immunity. Avoid caffeinated drinks as much as you can and stay healthy.
3. Fried Foods
Fried junk food is not just responsible for adding bulk to your waistline, but may also become a serious cause of cold and cough in your system. The fats and oils present in the fatty foods, which are derived from animal products like butter, lard and omega-6 fatty acids may cause you to produce mucus, further aggravating cold and flu. Stick to healthier foods and focus on improving your immunity system than making it worse.
4. Histamine Dense Foods
Histamines are chemicals that your immune system makes. They help your body get rid of something that's not doing any good to you, for instance, allergens. They alert you when you have ingested something that may be allergic to you. So if you have cold or any allergy, histamines prompt thin walls to make more mucus, which can result in mucus formation. You can get a runny or a stuffy nose. There are foods that naturally high in histamines, which can contribute to the problem and make it worse. Avoid avocados, mushrooms, strawberries, dry fruits, alcohol, yogurt, vinegar and fermented foods.
5. Alcohol
Alcohol tends to encourage inflammation; further weakening your white blood cells which make it harder for your body to heal. So it is better to skip drinking alcohol that will only worsen your immunity system.
6. Sugar
Just like alcohol, sugar can too cause serious inflammation and weaken your immunity system making your cold and cough worse. Sweets may be comforting, but try and avoid as much as you can. You don't want to stay sick while others enjoy their share of sweets.
Enjoy winters without getting sick just by tweaking your diet a little. Stay healthy!
Dry cough is one of the most common conditions. It is a reflex action that clears your airway of irritants and mucus. However, dry cough, also known as non-productive cough, doesn't produce phlegm or mucus. An ongoing dry cough can be irritating and may impact your day-to-day life. Most dry coughs are caused by a reaction to an environmental allergen, pollutant or toxin, all of which is expelled by the body from the respiratory system by coughing it out. Some natural home treatments can reduce the frequency of coughing and can soothe throat soreness and irritation. One of the best home remedies is drinking tulsi tea every day. Tulsi has long been known to have innumerable medicinal benefits, also making it an effective and safe natural remedy for cough.
According to Parmeet Kaur, Senior Dietician, Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, "Just add 5-7 tulsi leaves to 300-500 ml of water for few minutes. Keep it to cool and then drink the water infused with tulsi leaves. To make it more effective add few spices such as cardamom, ginger, black pepper and cloves to make a herbal concoction. Drink daily for preventing dark circles, acne, rashes and other skin problems.Moreover, it has been found to protect organs and tissues against chemical and physical stress and is rich in nutrients such as Vitamin K."Common Causes Of Dry Cough
Here are a few causes of dry cough that you should be aware of:
1. Asthma is a condition in which your airways swell and become narrow. Coughing is one of the most prominent symptoms of asthma; therefore, one has to be extremely wary of the effects it can cause.
2.Gastroesophageal reflux disease is a type of chronic acid reflux. It generally happens when stomach acid flows back up into your oesophagus that connects your mouth to your stomach. Excessive stomach acid may irritate your oesophagus and triggers your cough reflex.
3. Viral infection; when you get infected with one of the many viruses that causes common cold, which also includes coughing. However, the post-cold coughs usually linger long after the other symptoms have improved. Dry cough is due to the result of irritation in your airway, which is often sensitive after a viral illness.
4. Environmental irritants; these generally irritate your airways, including smoke, pollution, dust, mold and pollen. Chemical particles also tend to cause a dry cough.
5.Smoking can also be one of the causes of dry cough. The direct inhalation of toxins present in cigarettes can cause such a condition. The toxins settled in lungs cause inflamed reaction and body expels them through coughing.
6. Bronchitis; acute bronchitis often develops three to four days after a cold or flu. It may start with a dry cough and if it prolongs, the coughing spells may bring up mucus.
One Of The Best Solutions: Tulsi Tea
Tulsi is a member of the mint family and its traditional medicinal uses are many, particularly in Ayurvedic tradition. Holy basil, or tulsi, leaves are widely used to prepare desi concoctions to treat microbial infections and boost immunity. It does not only possess antiseptic and analgesic properties that help cure many problems including dry cough, but a tea made using with tulsi leaves relieves allergic bronchitis, asthma and other lung diseases in no time. It also has immunomodulatory (to enhance immunity) and antitussive (relieves cough) properties that provide relief in the respiratory system. In fact, it has certain oils that may clear the congestion.
How To Prepare Tulsi Tea At Home?
- Holy basil, or tulsi, is an easy herb to grow at home. So, pick your fresh produce and wash it thoroughly. Follow these steps to prepare tulsi tea at home.
- In a pan, add one cup of water and five to seven tulsi leaves. Allow it to boil for 10 minutes on low flame. Cover the pan and let the leaves infuse in water.
- Switch off the gas stove and allow the solution to cool down. Strain the extract and drink warm to cure dry cough.
- In fact, you can add other healing ingredients like cardamom, ginger, black pepper and even honey to this concoction. Drink it daily to get some relief.
You can also mix honey with fresh tulsi leaves and take it twice daily to reap maximum benefits. No matter what the cause of dry cough may be, tulsi tea may come to your rescue.
Licking rich and thick honey from the spoon is indeed blissful and heavenly. But did you know that there are numerous health benefits of consuming this golden delight? So, if you like honey, don't think twice and make a bold move to replace the sugar with honey owing to the benefits it comes with. Not only it is natural to form of sugar, also because it can do wonder to your daily diet. Let us look at some of the benefits:
For starters, honey can be stored for months without getting spoilt and you never need to worry about its shelf life. Here are the top unusual health benefits of honey:
Alleviate allergy symptoms: Do you suffer from a running nose and itchy eyes when the allergy season hits? Honey's natural anti-inflammatory agents produce antibodies that will build up a great defense against allergy over time.
Boosts your energy: Consume honey early in the morning and experience a great way to start off your day with full energy. The glucose present in the honey gives you a quick boost to get you moving up and about.
Good for memory: Honey contains antioxidants as well, which can help to promote great brain function. It also helps the brain to absorb calcium, which improves the memory function as well.
Suppresses cough: Honey is a great cough remedy that is power-packed with great health benefits. It soothes the throat, by calming down the nerve endings that protect the throat. So the next time you have a fussy cough, try honey instead of over-the-counter cough syrups that can be harsh on your immune system.
Sleep well: Having sleep problems? Honey induces serotonin neurotransmitter that helps your body to sleep. Wind down with a teaspoon of honey, add it to your drink like warm tea and calm down your body to get into the sleep mode.
Helps with dandruff: Have an itchy scalp with excessive dandruff? Apply a diluted solution of honey to your scalp, leave it on for few hours and your scalp will feel healthy in no time. The anti-fungal properties available in honey will alleviate dandruff issues and also act as a great moisturizer for the hair.
Treats wounds and burns: A wonderful first aid for wounds, scrapes or burns, honey's antibiotic nature helps to fight off further infection. One type of honey called Manuka honey is well-known as a great treatment for wounds and burns.
Hangovers: Waking up with a hangover is one of the worst feelings, isn't it? Honey helps your liver speed up the removal of toxins from your body. So all the toxins that you have consumed with alcohol, will be flushed out with the help of honey.
Prevent cancer: Honey has carcinogen preventing properties that can help to fight cancer. It is a superfood that has anti-metastatic properties to prevent tumors and cancers.
Boosts the immune system: Regular consumption of honey that has antibacterial and antioxidant agents will cleanse your body and improve better immunity.

Status summary: Patches are pending to Haddock and GHC [update: they have been included, and released in GHC 6.12.1 and Haddock 2.6.0]. Processing the guts of Haddock comments gets moved out of GHC to Haddock, although recognizing "– |" etc. are still done by GHC.
In fact, at top-level they're only recognized stand-alone by GHC (data DocDecl: DocCommentNext, DocCommentNamed, etc.), and Haddock gets to match them up with their definitions (Haddock.Interface.Create.collectDocs). Inside function types, data constructors and record-fields, though, they still have to be parsed to a more precise attachment by GHC, which occurs in compiler/parser/Parser.y.pp. But the interiors of the comments can now be parsed by Haddock, at least. Technically, that is Lexing, Parsing and Renaming RdrName->Name. Not to be confused with Haddock's later renaming Name->DocName that tries to figure out where the documentation links for each rendered thing (like Int or Monad or concatMap) should point to. Renaming RdrName->Name instead starts with something like "concatMap" or "SomethingSauce.Exts.Int16" and figures out what the original defining module is, given the context in which the RdrName appears. For Haddock, this is determined solely by the modules's GlobalRdrEnv which contains information like "there was an 'import GHC.Exts as SomethingSauce.Exts hiding (seq)'" and "This module defines a function or value called 'foomatic'". Full renaming needs to be more sophisticated and resolve the right-hand-side 'x' in 'f x = x' correctly, by looking more places than the top-level, but Haddock comments don't have any local scope like that. At least not currently.
General important concepts in Haddock:
There is a data Interface (Haddock.Types) for each module processed. This is computed by a sequence in Haddock.Interface, most of which is in Haddock.Interface.Create. This data Interface is used to render the HTML docs for the module (Haddock.Backends.Html . Which uses an old locally-kept version of an HTML combinator library). (Or instead/additionally to HTML, it can make Hoogle info.)
This would be simple if every module were self-contained, but it isn't. Haddock needs to find out about other modules, in order to link to them and re-export things from them. In order to find out about other modules in the group currently being processed (typically a package), Haddock uses a fold over the group's dependency graph and passes the depended-upon modules' Interfaces to Haddock.Interface.Create.createInterface. Note that this has consequences for modules that import each other, although I think it might work acceptably/imperfectly in the presence of .hs-boot files. Haddock also loads, in sequence, each of this group of modules using GHC (The GHC-API, -package ghc), so GHC can tell us all about them.
Cross-package, the situation is more complicated. For tedious reasons having to do with space/time efficiency or ease of implementation or nondeterminism or something, we don't just save all .hs files and Interfaces and stuff to disk. GHC saves ".hi" files to disk for each module, which tell it about all exported information that's relevant to a compiler, and a bit more. (For example, it doesn't include doc comments or remember whether a data was declared GADT-style. Probably. There are some weird things it does remember, like whether a constructor was declared infix.) These .hi files are how it can possibly compile the modules that you're haddocking now. They also let us look up the declarations and types in those .hi files, incidentally (with GHC.lookupName) — though it's a conversion effort to turn them into HsDecls (see Haddock.Convert, a new module added by my patches). Haddock, likewise, has to record some information about a module in parallel to the .hi file. Haddock.Types.InstalledInterface contains this information for each module — it's a subset of Interface that mostly contains docs since GHC's .hi doesn't save any information about them. (And we're lazy/stingy so we still depend on GHC for type information, despite its imperfections for our purpose.) When a module is being processed, its Interface is created, and then the InstalledInterface subset is saved to disk. Actually it's more complicated, because Haddock, unlike GHC, creates a single .haddock interface-file for each *group* of modules it processes (see Haddock.InterfaceFile). Then when you haddock a dependent module, Haddock loads those .haddock files and looks for info in them rather akin to how it would look for information in a locally imported module's Interface (though it's always a different though nearby code-path). At least hopefully Haddock loads those .haddock files; it has to be told where they are on the command-line. Cabal will helpfully do so for you, as long as the depended-upon packages have got any installed haddock documentation!
Okay… I think that's a general overview for now. Questions? Was I confusing or clear?

Colts will establish memorial scholarship for Edwin Jackson
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) As former Indianapolis Colts coach Chuck Pagano and general manager Chris Ballard attended Edwin Jackson's funeral in Atlanta on Monday, team owner Jim Irsay announced he was donating $25,000 to establish the Edwin Jackson Memorial Scholarship in memory of the former linebacker.
Jackson and his Uber driver, Jeffrey Monroe, were both killed in a traffic accident Feb. 4.
Irsay issued a statement Monday calling Jackson a ''wonderful young man'' who is already missed and that he wants to honor Jackson's memory, determination, work ethic and character with the scholarship. He is working with Jackson's family to establish guidelines for a scholarship that will be awarded annually.
It will be separate from other scholarships awarded by the Indianapolis Colts Foundation.
''That smile, that amazing smile - God he could light up a room,'' Pagano wrote on Twitter, honoring Jackson. ''And the energy and passion and fire and juice and love and determination and drive and dedication seeped out of this young man.''
Ballard remembered Jackson as the guy who introduced himself every day after he first took the job last January, just so Ballard wouldn't forget who he was.
But their relationship went even deeper.
''I started to ask Edwin: Where we going? What's our next step?,'' Ballard wrote on Twitter. ''And Edwin got a big, bright smile on his face and he talked about school and how we were going to finish, but he thought he had more to do; he had more to do in the league.''
Jackson was 26 years old.
Irsay also sent condolences again to Monroe's family. Last week, Irsay offered to pay for the funerals of both men.
Donations to the scholarship fund can be made online at www.colts.com/memorial or by mail at the Edwin Jackson Memorial Scholarship, c/o Indianapolis Colts Foundation, P.O. Box 535000, Indianapolis, IN 46253.

James and Dolores Trethewey have established a new endowed professorship in Michigan Technological University's School of Business and Economics.
With a $1.16 million gift commitment, the couple is underwriting the James and Dolores Trethewey APMP Professorship. The inaugural recipient is Associate Professor Dean Johnson, founding director of the Applied Portfolio Management Program.
The gift supports the hands-on, real-life investment program that Johnson launched in 1998 with the Tretheweys' backing. Finance students manage an investment portfolio of approximately $1.2 million with funds provided by a number of donors through the Michigan Tech Fund.
"This is a great and unexpected honor," Johnson said. "I already owe them so much. Jim and Dee's support from the first day I proposed the APMP was key to its starting. And, they have also entrusted APMP students with managing their scholarship funds for years."
Mr. Trethewey graduated from Michigan Tech in 1967 with a BS in Business Administration. He spent most of his professional career at Cleveland-Cliffs, now Cliffs Natural Resources, retiring in 2007 as senior vice president for business development. The family devised the professorship to promote the APMP, he said, but there are many reasons for their support of Michigan Tech.
"Do you give because of the great administration and leadership exemplified by [University President] Glenn and Gail Mroz, who seem to give every waking moment to Tech?" Trethewey asked. "Or because deans like Darrell Radson and Gene Klippel before him built successful new programs? Or do you give because you have professors like Dean Johnson who have a dream and a vision and the fortitude to carry them out? Or, do you give because you have great students who bring these programs to national prominence?
"Or, is it the Tech culture, which is unique: hard work, ethics, creativity and intellect, all rolled into one? There's an aura about Michigan Tech. It's a special place."
All those things matter, he said, but the impetus behind the Tretheweys' giving can be summarized by two questions: 1. Did Michigan Tech improve your career and add to the standard of living of your entire family? 2. Do you have the desire and capability to give?
"The answer to both is a resounding yes," said Trethewey. "Which leaves us with three more questions: How, when and how much?"
"When" is relatively easy. Tech is included in the Tretheweys' estate plan, but they are also providing substantial annual cash gifts to support the APMP. "We wanted to see the fruits of our labors," he explained.
"How" and "how much" are a little more complicated. "It's like going into Walmart for a quart of milk and later coming out with $200 of packages," he said. "We haven't quite got our arms around our giving. I think we're still mulling it around in the aisles of Walmart."
Johnson is thrilled that the Tretheweys have pulled the APMP off the shelf. "It gives us a permanent source of funding," he said. "I'd been scratching my chin, wondering how we were going to pay for student travel, with the stock market way down."
APMP students travel for national investment competitions and, as top finishers, were once invited to open the New York Stock Exchange. Among their other destinations, they also visit the Chicago Mercantile Exchange and attend Warren Buffet's Berkshire Hathaway annual meeting in Omaha, Neb.
"And we also give them scholarships," Johnson said. "To fund all this has been a struggle, but now to have Dee and Jim recognize that need and meet it is just amazing.
"It's also very humbling to have somebody recognize my dream and give it such incredible support," Johnson added. "I've just been doing what I thought was the right thing to do: educate students."
For the Tretheweys, that's what their gift is all about. "When you pass through the halls of Michigan Tech, you come out with a first-class ticket to anywhere you want to go," Trethewey said. "The route and the destination are up to the individual. And special programs like the APMP are examples of the tremendous role universities play in our society. We all have an obligation to help them."
Trethewey is a member of the Michigan Tech Fund Board of Trustees, the Academy of Business and Economics, the APMP Advisory Board, and the School's National Advisory Board.

A Word of Encouragement to United Methodists
Recently I retweeted an article from a Methodist leader entitled "Whatever Happened to the Missional Impulse of the Methodists?" In that post, Steve Manskar, Director of Wesleyan Leadership at GBOD (the General Board of Discipleship) of The United Methodist Church, speaks of his experience at the Exponential Conference:
Most of the people I met would identify themselves in the Calvinist/Reformed tradition. Very few would say they are Arminian or Wesleyan. While they likely disagree with Wesley theologically, they fully embrace his practices. United Methodists, on the other hand, sort of embrace the theology and neglect or outright reject Wesleyan practices. Why is that? That's a question I heard from a few of the people I met at Exponential.
Editorial comment: Steve calls them mostly Reformed, though when you are a United Methodist everyone else looks Reformed-- from my perspective, Exponential is hardly a Reformed crowd.
Steve does ask a good question, particularly if you know much about Methodist history.
In Viral Churches, Warren Bird and I described the situation as follows:
Shortly after the United States won its war for independence, people began moving westward in great numbers. The population shift was massive -- regions that had been virtually uninhabited in 1776 contained one - third of the nation's population by 1790. Wherever they went, a remarkable church planting movement swept through the American frontier. It resulted in multiple churches in virtually every county, city, town, and hamlet that settlers inhabited. The planting of new churches occurred at a rate that is almost unbelievable, especially because the blitz of church planting had no central hub.
The clear winners of the western frontier were the Baptists and Methodists. The most striking change of all was the growth of the Methodists from thirty small societies in 1776 to nearly 20,000 congregations in 1860 (see Table 4.1). Baptists, which were the second - largest denominational group by 1860, continued to grow, passing the Methodists in size before 1900. Today they are the largest Protestant faith group -- far larger than the New England - based Congregationalists that were the first to colonize this country (see Table 4.2 ), and pioneered the efforts of missionary work both among Native Americans and among Europeans who went west and north to unsettled areas.
In other words, it was the Methodists who were about much of the mission. Yet, today, they are struggling (on many fronts).
The missional impulse is about more than church planting, but Steve's blog post focused on such, and so will I in this one.
The United Methodists are seeking to revitalize their church planting efforts. You can see that through their "Path 1" emphasis (based on the Bishops "paths to the future). I've had the privilege to speak at a Path 1 meeting and they are starting strong. You might want to follow Gary Shockley on Twitter if you want to learn more.
But, this leads me to the reason I made this a rather long post...
Earlier this week I received an email from the Methodists' research folks. They have a strong crew in denominational research and they send out a helpful newsletter.
It is THIS kind of impulse that we could all use-- and learning from the Two Thirds World Christians would be a good step.
Here is the most recent "Background Data for Mission" from the UMC research folks.
"It's the Book of Acts" says Joseph Bishman, District Superintendent of the Shawnee Valley District in West Ohio Annual Conference. He is referring to the frontier United Methodist mission work in Vietnam, in which his district is heavily invested. The Vietnam UMC has grown from about four thousand folks to nearly 12,000 in the last four years. In their recent annual meeting with Bishop Bruce Ough, they expressed the goal of starting 100 new churches by year end 2012. Approximately 200 churches currently exist, nearly all of which were started since 2001. This is all the more remarkable, given the cultural and political context of this arm of our church.
A small United Methodist presence existed prior to the arrival of United Methodist missionaries Ut Van To and his wife Karen. Their initial work was mostly under the radar and with house churches. However, around 4 years ago, trade agreements required the country to open up their stance on religion and allowed more freedom, allowing for this growth. Of course, freedom alone does not cause this multiplication. Rev. Bishman observes that the primary factor is the driving focus of reaching new people for Christ. Their stated mission is "we exist to welcome people to Jesus Christ, equip them with a faith that's applicable in real life, and send them out to make disciples of Christ for the transformation of the world."
The strategy is well articulated:
■The class meeting or cell group is a gift that Methodism has been storing away from the whole Church, so it is time to resurrect the classes.
■Concentrate on forming and growing cell groups, and to develop curriculum for cell leaders and trainers.
■Organize training programs for cell leaders and training courses for the cell ministry.
■Bring many people to Christ through the cell groups.
■Ask our Bishop, GBGM, conferences, districts, and churches in the U.S. to support the vision and goals of the Vietnam Mission Initiative.
■Continue to follow up on the request to be officially recognized by the government.
■Continue to follow up on the application for UMCOR to be granted permission to operate in Vietnam.
On the ground, this all looks remarkably like early Methodism both in England and America. Trained leaders go to a new village or area and work on making relationships. This involves coordinating with government officials and often providing some kind of service, such as dealing with the impact of Agent Orange. As relationships are made, someone is eventually led to Christ and then meeting start in that home. In the midst of the Bible study and fellowship, neighbors are invited. Eventually more come to faith in Christ and ultimately a house church develops. The intent from the start is to build an ethos of using this as a training platform to send out other leaders to do the same in other places. While this model is not new (see Luke 10), the distinguishing feature here is that they really do it. Furthermore, the method is only part of the picture. It is accompanied by an intense faith and prayer life that is immediately apparent to American visitors.
Another aspect of the rapid growth has been the support through the General Board of Global Ministries' partnership program dubbed, "In Mission Together." This is a program where US churches can develop partnering relationships with churches in the mission initiative program of GBGM, such as in Vietnam. Of particular impact here is a relationship developed between a district and the entire mission initiative. West Ohio bishop, Bruce Ough, challenged Shawnee Valley district superintendent Joseph Bishman to take this on. They have done so remarkably. While this district is in Appalachia and has unimpressive economic credentials, they have still raised over a half million dollars over the course of three years for this ministry. The district has really owned this work and has many leaders who have been to Vietnam to participate in the work there. Rev. Bishman has even organized a stewardship motorcycle trip where Americans went to Vietnam, purchased motorcycles there, toured the ministry, and then left the bikes for the Vietnamese pastors. The motorcycle tour also resulted in over 300 baptisms along the way.
Rev. Bishman has challenged his district to be like the region the Apostle Paul challenged to take up an offering for the needs of the saints in Jerusalem. Shawnee Valley district has made the saints in Vietnam their Jerusalem. In a fascinating next step, they have gone to Vietnam and presented the UMC there with the possibility of taking on a Jerusalem of their own. After much intense (impressively so) prayer and discernment, the Vietnamese church has now chosen to do the same for another mission initiative area in their part of the world. Not only does this fledgling church have evangelism DNA, they are developing mission minded stewardship DNA as well. This stewardship development is making amazing progress in another area as well. They are working toward self-sustainability, with decreasing dependence on the US church for their basic needs. Nevertheless, the partnership relationship with the US churches will continue, but with the support funds being used for outreach rather than the pastors' salaries and other traditional needs.
Of course, problems and challenges exist in this frontier mission field. One of the district coordinators characterized some of these. "A few churches in the district are growing slow, a few pastors has yet to have a strategy to actively grow the church." "A few churches have not found a permanent location..." "The cell group ministry is still slow in deploying and therefore have not resulted in the successful church growth." "The development of a training program for pastors in the district is still slow and limited." He concludes, "Even though, the district still have its challenges, its weaknesses, with unmet goals, therefore pastors and members still need to work harder in order to reap more result for the kingdom of God in the new year. A-men." The striking aspect of these shortcomings is the height of the bar against which the ministry is measured. The goal for 2011 is no less than to "multiply and divide the district into two districts." One cannot help but contrast this assessment with the typical situation in US districts, which likely has no growth standards and strategy to reach them.
It's certainly exciting to find this pocket of the UMC reflecting our roots and experiencing dynamic, vital disciple making. Hopefully the US church can become infected by the life of this portion of our denomination. One way to connect is to partner with mission initiative churches. At any rate, we can be encouraged and inspired by those places in our connection, both in the US and abroad, where God is moving in fresh and powerful ways to fulfill our mission.
It's an important time for Methodism. It appears that many leaders are recognizing it to be so. I am not a Methodist, so (as I always am) I am an encourager from the outside, but I find these new developments interesting and encouraging. I am praying for my United Methodist sisters and brothers that God will use this time to direct them for His purposes.

Matthew Macfadyen first became British Go Champion in 1978. 2003 was his nineteenth year as Champion - defeating David Ward's challenge it was his twentieth. He had a European rating of 2641.
After he became Champion in 1978, he defended the championship against several challengers until he was defeated by Terry Stacey in 1985. He failed to regain it in his challenge against Stacey in 1986. In 1987 Stacey lost the championship to Piers Shepperson. In 1988 Macfadyen regained the title by defeating Shepperson. He then again defended he championship against several challengers until 1993, when he was defeated by Shutai Zhang, who had trained in China as a professional Go player. Macfadyen failed to regain the title from Zhang the next three years. In 1997 Zhang returned to his native China, and Macfadyen was then able once more to regain the title. He has successfully defended it since then, losing only one game in the subsequent seven championship matches.
David Ward is a 4-dan British player. His European rating was 2376. This figure, however, did not accurately reflect his then current strength. He had been improving, as a result of the lessons he has been taking from a Chinese professional player (see below).
He had to beat many opponents to become challenger. This began in 2003, when he came third-equal in the Candidates' Tournament, thereby qualifying to play in the 2003 Challenger's League. He came third in that, and so was not able to challenge Macfadyen that year. But his third place was good enough to grant him automatic qualification for the 2004 Challenger's League.
The 2004 Challenger's League was very closely fought, with several games decided by half a point. There was a three-way tie for first place between Matthew Cocke, David Ward and Alex Rix, all with 5/7. The rules required these three to be placed in an order based on the results of the previous year's British Championship, and then the first and second players to play off. Thus Ward and Cocke (who was the Challenger in 2003) played a tie-break game for the right to be challenger. Ward beat Cocke in this by half a point.
He has his own web site, from which he sells his teaching services.
In the 1990s he turned to teaching Go. Among his pupils are Zou Junjie 6p, winner of the 1998 Xin Ren Wang title; and Tang Ying 1p, 2002 Chinese Woman Go Champion. Some of his students have attained high levels within short periods of training, for instance, Liao Xingwen (who attended the 2000 MSO) and Liu Yu, all reached amateur 6d when they were aged nine and eleven respectively. He was giving regular lessons to David Ward, the title challenger.
He is married to Liu Yajie 2p, who visited England in 1998/9 and again in 2000. Wang Hongjun 7p now provides Go teaching (in English) on the internet.
Alexandre Dinerchtein 1p is Russia's strongest Go player, with a European rating of 2764. He has qualified as a professional player in Korea. On KGS, he uses the name breakfast.
He has his own web site, from which he sells his teaching services.

Epic@UNC Training Plan overview sessions for managers
All managers are invited to Starbucks' Conference Rooms A and B between 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 29, and Wednesday, Oct. 30, for help selecting the appropriate Epic@UNC Training Plan for your staff members. Additionally, we will review functionality in the new LMS that allows managers to assign a training plan to staff members, including the ability to batch assign a plan to multiple employees.
Oct 29, 2013
from 07:00 AM to 07:00 PM
|Starbucks' Conference Rooms A and B at UNC Hospitals
|Contact Name
|Add event to calendar
Our goal for these overview sessions is for every manager to leave knowing the appropriate Epic@UNC Training Plan to register their staff in LMS beginning Oct. 28, when the class schedules are released and registration opens.
Before you attend:
Review the Course Catalog and make an effort to find the ONE training plan that is most appropriate for the colleagues (in each of their different roles) that report to you. If you cannot find ONE plan, make note of the 2-3 plans that seem most appropriate and Training Team members will help you determine the best option.
You do not need to schedule a specific time to stop by for help – you are welcome to drop-in any time between 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. either day for help. If you are unable to stop by either day, contact the Epic@UNC Training team at email@example.com to schedule a time to meet next week. Thank you for your help in making Epic@UNC Training a success.
Remember that you can find the latest information on the Epic@UNC website and submit any questions you have using our online form.

For the manicure I started out with Ulta's Femme Fatale and stamped with Essence's Enchanted Fairy, a sweet lilac shimmer. I think it stands out quite nicely against the dark background. For the stamp I used Red Angel plate RA-102. I'm still experimenting with these stamps, but I think I'm getting the hang of them.
On it's own, Femme Fatale is a dark burgundy maroon color with a reddish coppery shimmer. It applied well with full coverage in two coats. No pulling or bald spots and wrapped around the tips nicely. It may not be the most original color, but I do love a good dark polish :)
