My second session was not much better, nor were my third and fourth. After two days in the ashram, or retreat, I was, frankly, ready to pack up and walk out. Or at least I would have been if my legs had not been so stiff from all that bending.
I stuck with it, however, and by the end of my fortnight-long Indian yoga vacation I was twisting myself into positions I had never dreamt it possible to get into. Not only that, but I felt calmer, more relaxed and more clear-headed than I had done in years.
I had first heard of the Sivananda Yoga Ashram, in Kerala, southern India, from a guy I met in Calcutta a couple of years ago. I am not, nor have I ever been, an ashram type of person - whatever else God made my body for, it most certainly was not yoga - and at the time I had scribbled down the details more out of politeness than from any genuine conviction that I would ever go. So when I suddenly booked myself a flight and went out to India for two weeks of contorting and meditation, no one was more surprised than me.
The ashram sits in stunning surroundings in the foothills of the Western Ghats, 30 km east of Trivandrum. Luxurious it is not. Accommodation is basic in the extreme - either in a dormitory, a two-man hut or, if you bring one, a tent. All washing and toilet facilities are shared. Meals are eaten with the fingers sitting cross-legged on the floor of a communal hall. The idea is to pamper the spirit, not the body.
Anyone is welcome, of whatever age, creed, nationality or shape. Among the acquaintances I made while there were a disabled Italian academic, a fitness fanatic from Guadelupe, a Canadian folk singer and a gay building contractor from Battersea.
The only stipulations are that you do not drink, do not smoke, and participate fully in all of the ashram's activities. Those who do not join in, the rule book warns sternly, will be asked to leave, although, so far as I am aware, it is a threat that has never been invoked.
The first few days are, particularly for those such as myself who have never done this sort of thing before, hell on earth, more mini boot camp than holiday. Ashram life is rigidly structured, starting at 5.30am with a wake-up bell, and involving, over the course of the day, a couple of two-hour meditation and chanting sessions, four hours of yoga, a lecture, some cleaning (euphemistically described as "karma yoga"), two frugal vegetarian meals and then lights out at 10pm. I was at public school, and it was never as bad as this.
Once you get into the swing of things, however, the whole thing is surprisingly good fun. I have never had much time for religion - a childhood of synagogue- going guaranteed that - but still found myself chanting Hindu devotional verses with all the bellowing enthusiasm of a fanatical Arsenal supporter. Lectures, likewise, have never really been my thing, yet it was impossible not to be spellbound by the resident doctor's descriptions of how to give an Ayurvedic enema. Even the frugal vegetarian food grows on you (although I did have to supplement it with a daily fix of coconut biscuits).
Yoga forms the backbone of ashram life, with two two-hour sessions every day - or more if you fancy doing some on your own. It is hard work, and some of the positions, notably the fish posture and the gravity-defying sideways crow, will, I fear, be for ever beyond me. The teachers, however, do not push you, and you are allowed to progress pretty much at your own pace. The fact that I am still doing my asanas (exercises) now that I am back in Britain is testament to just how good it makes you feel. For the first time in my life I can describe myself as supple without sounding ironic.
It is not all yoga and chanting, of course. You get plenty of time to yourself and, although it is not strictly allowed, no one complains if you bunk off the odd lecture or meditation session. The ashram sits on the shores of an idyllic, picture-postcard tropical lake in which, despite the crocodile warning signs, everybody goes swimming.
There are some superb walks in the area and a resident ashram masseur. Saturday nights are given over to a "talent show" for anyone who wants to participate - the building contractor from Battersea and I did a comedy routine that was greeted with blank stares all round.
The ashram also arranges day trips to the Kerala backwaters and Kanniyakumari on the southern tip of India, with a running commentary by the ashram's portly director, Swami Maha Devananda (a dead ringer for the late Robert Morley). Fears that the whole thing would be a dour, brain-washing, weirdo- sect sort of experience proved ill-founded.
There is no limit to how long you can spend on the ashram. Some people come for just a few days, others stick around for several months - at only pounds 3.75 per day all in it is hardly going to break the bank. The two- week long "yoga vacation", however - starting on the 1st and 15th of every month - is perhaps the ideal length, giving you time to wind down and relax without becoming so wound down and relaxed that you cannot integrate yourself back into society at the end of it all. As the literature says: "Yoga will show you the way to happiness and peace."
Mind you, it does not last. A week after getting back I could already feel those city anxieties creeping up on me again. Time to start thinking about another trip, I reckon.
Fact File
PAUL SUSSMAN flew from London Heathrow to Trivandrum via Doha with Qatar Airways for pounds 399 including tax.

Visa requirements
British passport holders require a visa to visit India. If you call the 24-hour visa information service (0891 880800), you will spend a lot of time and money finding out the following.
For a three-month tourist visa, you can apply in person or by post to the Postal Visa Section at either of the following: the High Commission of India, India House, Aldwych, London WC2B 4NA; or the Consulate-General of India, The Spencers, 19 Augustus Street, Hockley, Birmingham B18 6DS.
If applying by post, first send a stamped addressed envelope for a visa application form to either of the above addresses.
Once completed, send the form with three passport photos, passport, and the fee of pounds 13. "You are advised not to finalise your travel arrangements until your visa has been issued," says the High Commission.

general administration tasks
- Status Closed
- Budget $2 - $8 USD / hour
- Total Bids 25
Project Description
I am looking for a virtual assistant to help with general administration duties.
The work will mostly involve re-formatting data from one word document to another fixed word document template, and there will be other administrative duties come up from time to time as well.
These documents can be formatted at roughly 4 per hour, so I would want to work out a fixed price per document.
The work is not complicated but I am looking for someone who is reliable and able to work with great accuracy and speed.
It is essential that the virtual assistant speak native quality English.
There would be anywhere between 1- 2 hours of work available a day, 5 days a week. It would be helpful if this work could be performed in c. 15 minute slots ad hoc throughout the day, however it is fine if they are performed at one sitting at the beginning or end of a day.
I would be starting off on a trial basis for 4 weeks with a regular long term opportunity available for the right virtual assistant.
Please contact me with quotes for this assignment.
Kind regards

The 2015 Athletic Hall Of Fame Class
The 2015 North Texas Hall of Fame Class: John Baker, Scott Bowles, Andy Brewster, Scott Bowles, Jonas Buckles, Joe Harper accepting the award for his uncle, the late golfer Dick Whetzle; and Pat Hicks.
Six Mean Green greats formed the 2015 class to the North Texas Athletics Hall of Fame. This year's class consists of former football players John Baker, Scott Bowles, Andy Brewster and Jonas Buckles; men's basketball's Pat Hicks, and golfer Dick Whetzle. The six were inducted in a ceremony on April 23, 2016.
Baker was a record-setting, nationally-ranked punter during his three years at North Texas, and his season and career marks remain untouched. Baker transferred to North Texas from Blinn Junior College and, in 1997, he averaged 47.2 yards per kick, which was the second-best average in the nation and destroyed the Mean Green school record.
A 6-6, 280-pound offensive tackle nicknamed "Big Daddy," Bowles combined size with speed and quickness to excel at North Texas. In his freshman year, Bowles was named All-Conference in the Southland Conference, an honor he repeated his sophomore, junior and senior season.
Considered the best offensive lineman from the Mean Green's four Sun Belt championship teams, Brewster was the anchor of a line that enabled a stable of running backs set school and Sun Belt records. He was a starter for four years, including 50 consecutive games. Brewster helped pave the way for Kevin Galbreath to become the first back in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in back-to-back seasons, and for Patrick Cobbs and Jamario Thomas to top the nation in rushing in back-to-back campaigns.
As a four-year starter during the Mean Green's run of four-straight Sun Belt championships, Buckles was the leader of a secondary that rated as one of the top units against the pass in the nation. In 2002, when North Texas captured its second Sun Belt title and defeated Cincinnati, 24-19, in the New Orleans Bowl, The Mean Green secondary was the 13th best in the country against the pass, allowing just two opponents to throw for over 200 yards.
One of the best point guards to ever suit up for North Texas, Hicks is the all-time leader in assists in school history. A wizard at the point guard position, Hicks finished his career with 526 career assists, nearly 200 more than the next closest in history. He led North Texas in assists in three straight seasons and had three of the top-four single-season assist totals in history.
Whetzle was the first North Texas golfer to earn All-America honors in 1958, capping one of the most distinguished careers on the course. White at North Texas, Whetzle's amateur career included victories in the Dallas City Amateur in 1956 and the Texas State Public Links Championship that same year. Whetzle won the Southern Intercollegiate Championship in 1957 and '58.
The school's 33nd all-time class was recognized at the North Texas 2015 homecoming game, and was inducted at a ceremony in the spring of 2016 prior to the Green-White football game. The six legends give the North Texas Athletic Hall of Fame 186 members.

Shakespeare and the Book by David Scott Kastan
Book DescriptionShakespeare and the Book is a lively and learned account of Shakespeare's plays as they were transformed from scripts to be performed into books to be read, and eventually from popular entertainments into the centerpieces of the English literary canon. Kastan examines the motives and activities of Shakespeare's first publishers, the curious eighteenth-century schizophrenia that saw Shakespeare radically modified on stage at the very moment that scholars were working to establish and restore the 'genuine' texts, and the exhilarating possibilities of electronic media for presenting Shakespeare now to new generations of readers. This is an important contribution to Shakespearean textual scholarship, to the history of the early English book trade, and to the theory of drama itself. Shakespeare and the Book persuades its readers of the resiliency of the book itself as a technology and of Shakespeare's own extraordinary resiliency that has been made possible not least by print.

Two new stills from Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island surfaced today, and while they don't relay a lot of information, in the first you can definitely tell that Leo means business, and the second one sure is colorful!
The film, written by Laeta Kalogridis and starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Michelle Williams, Patricia Clarkson, and Max von Sydow, centers on the story of two U.S. marshals, Teddy Daniels and Chuck Aule, who are summoned to a remote and barren island off the coast of Massachusetts to investigate the mysterious disappearance of a murderess from the island's fortress-like hospital for the criminally insane.
For more info, visit the official Shutter Island website. Look for the film in theatres on February 19th, 2010, or if you live in or around Berlin, catch its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, which runs February 11-21, 2010.

New Website for a new LED lighting distribution company
This project received 58 bids from talented freelancers with an average bid price of $587 CAD.Get free quotes for a project like this
Project Budget$250 - $750 CAD
Total Bids58
Project Description
We need a professional website designer to create a quality website for our new business - marketing and distribution of LED lights in Canada.
The website will be the primary source of information for our products, but we would also need a template to print out some of the product details from the website as brochures or advertising materials.
We have some write-ups and technical information of the lights in a Wordpress site, but the website doesnt have to be on Wordpress platform, and may need some proofread, research and contents to dress up and complete the site.
We presently only have 3+3 product models (in 2 categories) available (each model may have some sub-models with slight variations), but would gradually add more models as we move on.
We hope the website is easy to maintain and upgrade, as we hope to be able to maintain and expand the website ourselves as we update the information and add more models and product lines - but this is not a must and should not be a hindrance to the initial website creation.
Other preferences (not "must have"):
1. facebook twitter, etc
2. to be able to accept online orders
3. be an eBay seller
Interested applicants please send some reference and relevant sites that you had personally worked on previously, particularly those with fewer product lines, and identify what you can do and what not (based on the above). We prefer to deal with one freelancer if you can do all of the above, but also welcome other applicants (writer, internet marketing, virtual assistants etc) as we may need later on.
Thank you!

Baseball druggies paying the price
Professional baseball's drug scandal is making big news.
After months of investigation and speculation, Major League Baseball has dropped the hammer on 14 players identified as users of performance-enhancing substances.
The first player to go down was the Milwaukee Brewers' Ryan Braun, the 2011 Most Valuable Player, who accepted a 65-game suspension. On Monday, another 12 players were suspended for 50 games, and they, too, acquiesced to the penalty imposed by Commissioner Bud Selig.
But New York Yankee Alex Rodriguez, the biggest name of the group, is fighting a 211-game suspension that was imposed because Selig identified Rodriguez as a repeat drug offender who also attempted to obstruct baseball's investigation into his use of illegal substances. Because he's appealing the suspension, Rodriguez, who returned to the Yankees' lineup this week after recovering from an injury, probably will play out the rest of the season before a decision is rendered.
Suffice it to say, the use of illegal substances has no place in baseball. It's not just an improper effort to gain an artificial advantage, it's against the rules adopted by both the league and the players' association.
Still, it's no surprise that some choose to ignore the prohibition — the financial rewards are just too great a temptation.
Baseball's investigation began following news reports by the Miami New Times concerning improper links between a Florida anti-aging clinic, Biogenesis of America, and a number of players. The investigation bore significant results after the clinic's owner, Anthony Bosch, reluctantly agreed to cooperate with Major League Baseball under a threat of civil litigation.
Baseball's aggressive approach to this doping scandal is a far cry from its ostrich-like stance during the heyday of the home-run era highlighted by players like Sammy Sosa, Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds.
It wasn't until after highly embarrassing congressional hearings were held in 2005 that baseball and the players' union, which had previously resisted all drug testing, agreed to rules on testing and penalties for violations.
Since then, Selig has punished a number of players for doping violations, and that's the way it ought to be.
It would be naive to think the mass punishment will put an end to players' doping, although it should serve as a deterrent to some, perhaps many, who might be tempted to violate the rules. But it's just as likely to spark greater efforts by chemists to create performance-enhancing drugs that can escape sophisticated chemical detection. This fight over doping in baseball as well as other sports is as much a cat-and-mouse game between chemists as it is anything else.
But with the great reward of success on the field also comes the great risk of being found out. That's what occurred in this case, and all the players involved will forever bear a scarlet "C" for cheating the game, the fans and their fellow players. Major League Baseball deserves credit for seeing that they do.

See a list of "Holy Land Cruises" itineraries and cruise schedule. Cruises to Holy Land are the most special part of the group of Middle East cruises to Israel and Egypt, deals generally inclusive of religious / Christian themed tours. Discover ancient cultures and some of the most impressive and magnificent architectural sites in the world! Visiting important Christian, Islamic and Jewish spots and religious sites are among shore excursions and tours' highlights. This review article is integrated with Christian Cruises, our hub for Theme Cruises and Suez Canal Cruises.
The Middle East features so many topographical contrasts- from vast deserts to lush valleys - this is one of the perfect destinations to become an adventurer! On some Middle East cruises you will be also transiting the Suez Canal (from Mediterranean to Red Sea, or the reverse).
Middle East / Holy Land Cruises to Israel and Egypt
Part of the "Middle East Cruises" group, Holy Land cruise tours deals may also include visiting Eastern Mediterranean ports in Greece or Turkey. When you have to fly a long distance for your Holy Land or Middle East cruise, better arrive at the departure port one or two days in advance, and you will have time to rest. Get oriented before you board the ship- most lines offer pre-cruise packages with hotel stays, and even guided city tours.
Holy Land voyages are derivative of Eastern Mediterranean itinerary group, but "Holy Land Cruises" always visit Israel and Egypt - calling on ports of Haifa and/or Ashdod in Israel, and Alexandria or Port Said in Egypt. A cruise ship vacation to Holy Land will promise a rich in history voyage and much adventure. The today's fate of Jerusalem is at the center of Middle East unrest. But in spite of all religious fighting and political maneuvering you will find the Holy Land cruise being an unmatched destination itself. This is a very special itinerary and an unique combination of history, climate, natural beauty, and meaning. After you visit Jerusalem, you will be changed forever. The Holy Land is a history destination, it will both educate and fascinate you.
While sailing on Holy Land cruises in the Eastern Mediterranean, guests are able to see some of the most beautiful and historically most special countries in the world! These Mediterranean voyages will not only take you to Holy Land's territories (Jerusalem, West Bank, Gaza). On Holy Land cruises as itinerary you will have the opportunity to see all major Mediterranean countries - Italy and Greece. Many routes also include visiting Cyprus in combination with Turkey and some of the most popular of the Greek Islands. See the Holy City of Jerusalem, the Pyramids of Giza, the Roman Colosseum and Parthenon, all while spending your fun exciting days at sea. The lines' onboard enrichment programs provide quality learning experiences from highly educated guest lecturers.
Get to know our offers for the "Lands of the Bible"- "Holy Land Cruises", with various departure points and lines to choose from. Travel aboard Holland America, Celebrity or Princess cruise lines ships, or the smaller but so popular for this destination Oceania Cruises ships. All of them offer affordable luxury cruise travel deals. MSC and Costa Cruises' Holy Land voyages are some of the cheapest on the market. Sailing aboard Azamara, Crystal, Seabourn or Regent ships offers a boutique style and more intimate cruising with all-inclusive luxury deals - and some of the highest rates on the market.
Holy Land cruise vacations reveal the charms of both modern and ancient world. Whilst these are not the traditional cruising call ports, Holy Land itineraries offer the unique chance to experience something different- just read and choose!

Holy Land Significance
- The description "Holy Land" as a distinct geographic area which encompasses the Palestinian territories, modern-day Israel, Jordan, and parts of Syria.
- "Holy Land" is the term that in Judaism refers to the Israel Land. Non-Jews and Jews traditionally refer to this area as Palestine- "The Holy Land, or Palestine, with the Ancient Kingdoms of Judah and Israel in which the twelve Tribes have been distinguished.
- The term is used also by Christians and Muslims alike to refer to the area between Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, i.e. it includes modern Palestine and Israel.
- The Holy Land significance stems partially from Jerusalem's religious significance- the holiest to Judaism city, the site of Jesus's ministry. Because of the holiness of this land to Christianity, it was a part of the motives for Crusades against the Muslim Suljuq Turks- European Christians wanted to win Holy Land back. After defeating the Arabs, they had taken it over- Muslim Arabs in turn, had taken control from Christian Byzantine Empire.
- Many Holy Land religious sites have been pilgrimage and tour destinations for a long time and adherents of Abrahamic religions- Christians, Jews, Muslims, have often visited them. Pilgrims who visit this sites on group guided tours to Holy Land want to connect personally to Holy Land, touch and see the physical manifestations of faith; to confirm their beliefs with collective excitement.
- Regarded as the holiest cities of Judaism, are the Four Holy Cities in Israel: Hebron, Tzfat, Tiberias, and Jerusalem (considered especially significant as the site of Temple). Jerusalem is Mount Moriah, according to Jewish tradition this is the location of binding of Isaac. In the Hebrew Bible it is mentioned about Jerusalem 669 times.
- Christians consider the Land of Israel holy because they associate it with the birth, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. All Christians regard Jesus as the Savior (Messiah). According to the Bible, the Holy Land territories are the land of the Jews, God's people. Christian books (including Bible's editions) often had Holy Land maps, considered to be Samaria, Galilee, Judea.
And this is what the wise Wikipedia guys have to say on the subject of Holy Land and the world's major religions - Christianity, Islam and Judaism.

Britney Spears Attempts A Booty Shot
January 14th, 2011
I don't know if booty shot was the best choice of words, but Britney Spears is definitely trying to let me know that she's more than just a crazy chick with hair extensions and a bunch of children she doesn't care about. Message received princess… Message received. Wait, all she's doing is getting out of her SUV and walking the other direction? Come on, I'm not buying it, she knows exactly what she's doing and I appreciate it but I'm not falling for it this time. Good try though.

How lucky did Liam Neeson get with "Taken"? He was paid a relatively routine salary between $1-2 million for the 2009 surprise action hit. But no one was expecting a sequel.
Since Neeson wasn't under contract to return to the role, his payday for "Taken 2" jumped to at least $10 million, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Or maybe closer to $12 million, according to Deadline, which adds that Neeson likely stands to make even more depending on the film's final box office gross. So far, "Taken 2" has raked in over $126 million worldwide in just a few days (it opened in most territories on Oct. 5, but launched a week earlier in South Korea).
While the entertainment news sites don't agree on Neeson's salary, they do agree that Neeson's growing paycheck will be a significant hurdle to the possibility of a "Taken 3." With "Taken 2" performing so well at the box office, Neeson is now in a prime position to command even more money to return. Assuming he has any interest in trying a threequel.
What do you think? Is there any need for a "Taken 3"?

Model Car By Gerald Wingrove
Gerald Wingrove devoted seventeen years of his life to the business of light engineering as a center (centre) lathe turner. Seeing no future in that vocation, he decided to turn his hobby as a model engineer into his full-time job and went to work as a freelance designer and patternmaker for film, TV, jewelry and toy companies. He did work for companies like Meccano (Dinky Toys), Mettoy Playcraft (Corgi Toys) and others. In 1967 he received a commission from Lord Montagu of Bealieu to build a series of fine detailed scale models for the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu in the south of England. Other similar work followed as collectors became aware of the quality of his work, and he soon found himself being invited to visit some of the best private car collections in Europe and the USA to document and reproduce in miniature some of these elegant works of "rolling sculpture".

Another aspect of the bill prohibits the incitation to hatred against nations, ethnic, religious, minority or majority groups.
According to Jakubowicz, the vague restriction of "inciting hatred" is a slippery slope that would undoubtedly lead to similar sanctions of unintentional insult or inadvertent incitement to hatred from media outlets that are simply capable of insult and exclusion.
Jakubowicz writes that Bill T/363 "require[s] instituting a system of surveillance, supervision and possible repression that are unacceptable in a democratic society... placing Hungary alongside authoritarian countries seeking to control all forms of social communication."

[author: Steve Quinlivan]
Perhaps one of the most important questions since the Dodd-Frank Act is "What is a commodity pool"? Close behind is "Who is a commodity pool operator"? The CFTC has begun to shed light on these questions by issuance of interpretive guidance for equity REITS and securitization vehicles.
Equity REITS
The REIT guidance begins by reviewing the history from the CFTC's point of view (foot notes omitted):
"In 1981, the Commission proposed and adopted the definition of "pool" in Commission Regulation 4.10(d), which provided that "pool" means "any investment trust, syndicate or similar form of enterprise operated for the purpose of trading commodity interests." At that time there was no statutory definition of a commodity pool. The statutory definition of commodity pool, as it currently appears in Section 1a(10) of the CEA, is substantively identical to the Commission's longstanding regulatory definition of the term "pool."
From the time of its adoption in 1981, the Commission has declined to constrain the phrase "operated for the purpose of trading" to the narrowest of possible interpretations. The reasons that the Commission articulated for rejecting a narrow understanding of the phrase were grounded in its dual concerns for customer and market protection. The Commission noted in the Preamble to the 1981 rule that commenters were concerned that the definition was overly broad. One commenter suggested a brightline percentage test as a function of commodity interests to other portfolio holdings to determine whether a collective investment scheme should be considered a pool. The Commission declined to set a specific percentage as a threshold over which an entity would be considered a commodity pool due to concerns that an entity which would not exceed the set trading level could still be marketed as a commodity pool to participants, who should be afforded the protections under Part 4 of the Commission's regulations."
Several other commenters suggested that the definition should be narrowed to only those funds whose "principal purpose" was the trading of commodity interests. The Commission rejected that suggestion because it could "inappropriately exclude from the scope of the Part 4 rules certain persons who are, in fact, operating commodity pools." Thus, the Commission recognized that there may be entities whose primary business focus may be outside the commodity interest sphere, yet may still have a significant exposure to those markets, which may implicate the Commission's concerns regarding both customer and market protection. The rejection of the more narrow "principal purpose" language further indicated the Commission's determination to expand the constrained meaning of the phrase "operated for the purpose of." There is no evidence in the legislative record to indicate that when Congress adopted a statutory definition of "commodity pool," that is substantively identical to the Commission's longstanding regulatory definition of "pool," it intended for the Commission to modify its understanding of the scope of phrase "operated for the purpose of."
The Commission affirmed and refined this interpretation in the preamble to the final rule entitled Commodity Pool Operators and Commodity Trading Advisors: Compliance Obligations. Explaining its amendments to Commission Regulations 4.5 and 4.13(a)(3) to include swaps in the trading thresholds, the Commission stated, "any swaps activities undertaken by a CPO would result in that entity being required to register because there would be no de minimis exclusion for such activity. As a result, one swap contract would be enough to trigger the registration requirement." This statement is the Commission's most recent guidance with respect to the relationship between an entity's swaps activity and the requirement that its operator register as a CPO."
The CFTC's Division of Swap Dealer and Intermediary Oversight, or the Division, believes that REITs that primarily derive their income from the ownership and management of real estate and that use derivatives for the limited purpose of "mitigat[ing] their exposure to changes in interest rates or fluctuations in currency" are outside the definition of "commodity pool" under Section 1a(10) of the CEA and Commission Regulation 4.10(d). However an equity REIT must satisfy the following criteria:
Here the proponent requesting guidance argues that securitization vehicles do not satisfy the definition of commodity pool, and more specifically, that securitization vehicles do not meet the criteria articulated by the Ninth Circuit in Lopez v. Dean Witter Reynolds Inc. The proponent stated that most securitization vehicles do not have multiple equity participants, do not have pro rata allocations of accrued profits or losses because the issued interests are in the form of debt or debt-like interests with a stated interest rate or yield and principal balance and a specific maturity date, and do not have a purpose of trading in swaps or other commodity interests. The proponent also asserted that securitization vehicles are "capital markets financings of sales finance or other financial asset inventory" as opposed to an investment trust.
The guidance notes the Division believes that, consistent with the Commission's longstanding statements regarding the analysis of whether a fund is a pool, although the Lopez factors are useful, they are not dispositive and the failure of a fund to satisfy one or more of the factors does not mean that the fund is not a pool. The Division believes that it is required to evaluate the facts and circumstances presented in their entirety and determine whether a pooled investment vehicle possessing such characteristics should properly be considered to be a commodity pool. In attempting to make such an evaluation based on the characteristics presented, the Division tends to agree that certain entities that meet certain of the criteria identified are likely not commodity pools, such as securitization vehicles that do not have multiple equity participants, do not make allocations of accrued profits or losses, and only issue interests in the form of debt or debt-like interests with a stated interest rate or yield and principal balance and a specific maturity date. Other sorts of financings or investments, however, based on the descriptions provided by the proponent, do not preclude the issuer or, in the case of a covered bond, the related covered pool from being a commodity pool. Thus, the Division believes the request for relief for entities operating to some extent under any covered bond statute, entities involved in collateralized debt obligations, entities involved in collateralized loan obligations, any insurance-related issuances, and any other synthetic securitizations is overly broad and does not provide any assurance that the related entities or a portion of their assets, operations, or activities would not properly be considered a commodity pool (emphasis added).
Based on an evaluation of the facts and circumstances presented regarding securitization vehicles and their issuance of asset-backed securities, the Division has determined that certain securitization vehicles should not be included within the definition of "commodity pool" and its operator should not be included within the definition of "commodity pool operator." The Division has determined that the criteria for exclusion include the following:

Nam was also inspired by an artist who was once captivated by light. "I had in mind the paintings of Vermeer, with their soft, rich, warm, moody colours," she says. That conjured thoughts of country homes in Northern Europe – Belgium, in particular. "Belgian design can be traditional and modern at the same time, and it all looks right," says Nam.
The designer
The concept – Belgian country house dressed to evoke the atmosphere of a 17th-century Dutch masterpiece – solved a challenge the designer faced. "The issue with new houses is that you don't want them to feel brand new," says Nam, who has worked on model homes before. The StonePine house already had traditional architectural elements like coffered ceilings, wood panelling, and cabinetry that created an aged pedigree. But, says Nam, "I'm not interested in having one note throughout a house. The envelope here is traditional, but I've got a modern element in every space. In the living room, it's the cube coffee table; in the dining room, there's a slab table. The modern sort of cleanses the palette."
The wall panelling in the entryway establishes the traditional feel of the architecture, while the zebra-printed rug lends exotic flair.
Living room
A classic klismos chair - an ancient Greek design - is balanced by a clean-lined sofa in the living room.
Traditional touches
A detailed limestone mantel and gothic arched doorway form the traditional backbone of the living room.
The oversized sleek, industrial chandelier keeps the mood in the living room informal.
The den features walls wrapped in rich dark wood panelling, and a custom sofa nestled between two bookcases.
Dining room
Nam started with moody, modern wallpaper in the dining room while the tall mirror amplifies light from the windows.
Breakfast nook
Nam designed a curved banquette, covered in easy-to-clean Naugahyde, to cozy into the breakfast area's generous bow window. The traditional pedestal table and two dining chairs upholstered in a modern damask complete the look.
Kitchen interior
"You can see that I love symmetry and I love the stove as a focal point," says Nam. She repeated the gothic arch from the living room in the kitchen cabinetry, which is traditional and reminiscent of a European manor house, but the island injects a more casual profile.
Designed details
Nam designed the stainless-steel fan hood, with its aged-pewter detailing. "it has a handmade feel, which people appreciate," she says.
A touch of colour
"I'd been doing so many white kitchens that I was very excited to use a beautiful putty grey," says Nam, who likes the way subtle greys and taupes come to life in Calgary's bright, even light.
Design trick
Mounting the TV onto a kitchen wall finished with blackboard paint allows it to disappear when not in use.
