Comet's owner Kesa Electricals is to close up to 10 stores this year after suffering another slide in UK sales.
The retailer, which has 248 outlets in the UK, will also shut one of its three warehouses and axe 12 of its 14 regional service centres, which are used as a base by its engineers who repair and service its products.
With Comet closing between five and 10 stores this year, Kesa said it expects to make 150 redundancies in the UK, including 40 recent job cuts at Comet's head offices in Hull and Rickmansworth in Hertfordshire.
Same-store sales at Comet fell15.2 per cent in the 12 weeks to 30 April and are now down 7.7 per cent over the past year as the retailer struggled in difficult market conditions following January's increase in VAT to 20 per cent. Online sales in the UK were down 8 per cent.
Kesa warned that Comet will make a loss this year after trade was disrupted by snow in the run-up to Christmas. Kate Calvert, an analyst at Seymour Pierce stockbrokers, described the latest UK sales performance as "shocking". The company said it was likely that the warehouse to close would be in Corby, Northamptonshire, although this is subject to consultation.
Kesa's business in France, where it trades as Darty, saw a 5 per cent rise in same-store sales in the final quarter of the financial year but this was offset by struggling markets such as the UK and Spain.
Overall like-for-like sales were down 3.1 per cent in the period, which was slightly better than the City's expectations of a fall of 5 per cent.

Welcome to our December Newsletter. We were delighted with the success of our November Business Networking Evening, thank you to all who attended, the next one will be Tuesday 21st February 2012.
This month we have introduced a blog section onto our website, we will be regularly posting blogs with an emphasis on business startups, business growth and essential tax advice.
We are looking forward to a fantastic 2012, and wish you and your families Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Please contact us for advice in your own specific circumstances. We're here to help!
Table Of Contents
Autumn Statement Tax Summary
Businesses who occupy small commercial premises receive some generosity with an extension to the business rates relief scheme to 1 April 2013 (already extended for a year to 1 October 2012). Different business rates relief schemes apply in England, Wales and Scotland so ask your local authority what relief applies to your building. Occupiers of larger business premises may be able to defer payment of up to 60% of the increase in business rates for up to two years.
Other key tax announcements for businesses and individuals were:
- New anti-avoidance rules for employer asset backed pension contributions, effective from 29 November 2011.
- State pension age rises to 67, to be phased in over two years from April 2026.
- Freeze in the couple and lone parent elements of working tax credit in 2012/13.
- No increase in child tax credit above the rate of inflation, as had been announced.
- Capital gains exemption to be frozen for 2012/13.
- Research & Development tax credit for larger companies given above the profit line rather than as a tax reduction, to apply from 2013.
- New Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme (SEIS) from April 2012, giving income tax relief of 50% for investments of up to £100,000 in start-up businesses.
- Exemption from CGT when gains realised in 2012/13 are reinvested under SEIS in the same tax year.
- 100% capital allowances in certain new Enterprise Zones, not in all zones.
- Main rate of corporation tax will reduce to 25% from April 2012.
- Air passenger duty to be extended to private jets from 1 April 2013.
Further detail on the new tax rules and rates will be announced on 6 December 2011, so we will cover any significant items for small businesses in our January 2012 newsletter.
Low Value Consignment Changes
The limit per parcel for LVCR was £18 for years, but it was reduced to £15 from 1 November 2011. HMRC have just announced that the LVCR will be removed altogether from 1 April 2012 for goods imported from the Channel Islands. This change should help UK based businesses, but will not help the distribution centres and flower growers in the Channel Islands!
Pension Lifetime Allowance Decrease
The maximum fund of £1.8 million will produce an indexed linked pension of around £75,000 p.a. for a man retiring at 65, using current annuity rates. So the new cap of £1.5 million is not particularly helpful. If you already have pension funds, which in total are worth more than £1.5 million, you may need to apply to HMRC to ring-fence your existing pension savings for tax purposes, under what is called 'fixed protection'.
To work out whether fixed protection is required, you must add together the values of all your various pension funds. Most people will have accumulated funds in a number of schemes over their working life as they change jobs, or start contributing to new pension schemes for other reasons. If you are in this position, you will need to request a 'Lifetime Allowance Factor' (valuation of the fund), from all the companies with which you hold a pension scheme. Such requests normally take around eight weeks to process, so you need to get a move on.
The application for fixed protection must reach HMRC by 5 April 2012, and it must be made on the prescribed form. Late applications will not be accepted. Where fixed protection is granted you will not be able to make any further tax-allowable pension contributions to a registered pension scheme, or build-up further benefits in a defined benefits scheme. So if you are considering applying for fixed protection for your pension funds, you should first take expert pensions advice.
Using VAT Groups
The companies within the VAT group don't have to carry on similar trades, they can operate in quite different business sectors. However, where some companies regularly receive VAT refunds and others pay VAT each quarter, it would not be sensible to put those payment and repayment companies together in one VAT group. Also, once the companies are together in one VAT group the limits for various VAT reliefs, such as cash accounting, error reporting, or partial exemption, apply to the turnover of the whole group.
An LLP can join a VAT group with a company, if both bodies are under common control. This can be useful where an LLP has been used in place of another associated company (an additional associated company may increase the corporation tax rate paid by the main trading company). A general partnership, which is not an LLP, cannot join in a VAT group under any circumstances.
December Question & Answer Section
A. No, this is not true. Capital allowances cannot be claimed for equipment or fittings used within residential properties, which the Tax Office refer to as 'dwelling-houses'. There is an exception for properties that qualify as furnished holiday lettings, when each letting must generally be for short periods of less than 30 days. If you make a capital allowance claim for your rental properties it may be passed by the Tax Office, under their 'process now, check later' system. But when the Tax Inspector checks your claim it will be refused, any tax refunded will have to be repaid with interest, and penalties will be charged. This can happen up to 20 years after you submitted the incorrect claim!
Q. My employer has given me a form P11D, which shows that I am taxed on the cost of my smart phone. I thought each employee could have one tax-free mobile phone, so why am I taxed on my only mobile phone?
A. Tax Officials think smart phones are computers rather than phones, so don't want to apply the 'one free mobile per employee' rule, when the mobile phone is a smart phone. However, this can work in your favour if the private use of the smart phone provided by your employer is insignificant. Where any computer equipment is provided to you solely for work purposes, and there is no significant private use, there should be no tax charge. This tax-free treatment doesn't apply where the contract for the mobile phone is in your own name and not the company's name. In that case, where your employer pays for your smart phone the cost is taxed as if it was part of your salary. To remedy this, make sure your next smart phone contract is made between your employer and the telephone provider and you are not a party to that contract.
Q. I work as a nurse in a NHS hospital. My professional organisation tells me I can claim tax refunds for the last 6 years, for the cost of the particular shoes and socks I need to wear for work. Is there a limit on what I can claim?
A. There are set limits for such costs, known as flat rate expenses, which vary according to the taxpayer's profession and work description. The full list of tax claimable flat rate expenses can be found here. Nurses can claim £100 per year as a flat rate expense against their taxable income for uniforms without any receipts but in addition can claim £12 per year for the cost of shoes and £6 per year for stockings or tights. The £100 figure was £70 per year from 2004/05 to 2007/08. However, you need to make your claim quickly, as the deadline for claims relating to 2005/06 is 31 January 2012. The deadline for 2006/07 is 31 March 2012, and for 2007/08 it's 5 April 2012. However those deadlines only apply if you were taxed under PAYE, and did not submit a self-assessment tax return for those tax years. If you did submit a self-assessment tax return for the year the claim relates to, your claims period is already limited to 4 years from the end of that tax year. In that case the earliest year you can claim for is 2007/08, and the claim must be received by HMRC by 5 April 2012.
December Key Tax Dates
- 19/22 – PAYE/NIC and CIS deductions due for month to 5/12/2011
- 31 – Deadline for 2010/11 self assessment online returns to be filed if you are an employee and want tax underpaid to be collected by adjustment to your 2012/13 PAYE code (for underpayments of up to £3000 only). VAT reclaim deadline for submission of all claims for non EU traders wanting to reclaim VAT in the UK

Portugal is the Land that Europe Forgot. I'm thinking of writing a letter to the country's tourism minister saying just that; it should be part of the country's tourist campaign. It's funny how peeling paint on buildings, crumbled walls and sleeping dogs can have such an unmistakeable appeal.
My memories of Portugal consist of these such things. Alas, it seems as if the country likes to formally present itself in a different way; to Brits and Germans, it's all things sand and sun. Call me morbid, but all that Portugal plus beach equals to me is Madeleine McCann.
But back to the peeling paint. My first experience of Portugal was the journey from Lisbon's train station, where I'd just gotten off an overnight train from Madrid, to my hostel. Of course, the route was a lot easier than the random wanderings I took instead.
The picture above is the scene which greeted me outside the station. It was perhaps eight in the morning, and these four men were sitting outside a little cafe, sipping espresso. At the time, I saw espresso as quintessentially European. It wasn't something I'd ever ordered at home, and I didn't understand how people could socialise over such a small beverage. These men changed this perception of mine.
In my three days in Lisbon, I walked past this little cafe perhaps a dozen times, heading to and from my hostel. These four men were always there, day and night. The only thing that changed was that later in the day, their espressos were replaced by beers.
You can probably find an establishment like this just about anywhere in Mediterranean Europe. It actually took me a little while to build up the courage to enter one, and mumble a coffee order. These places, to me, looked like private homes. Entering one, I reasoned, ran the risk of interrupting their intense and loud conversations.
These men looked as if they had all the time in the world. They probably did, as who knows what they'd collectively seen in their lives. No wonder they never seemed to draw breath; the stories they'd built up over the years demanded to be shared.
Portugal saddened me quite a bit when I was there. The poverty was quite visible and their cities clearly immortalised a former great empire. But now, the country is that forgotten little corner of Europe. Recently I saw a documentary explaining how young Portuguese are flocking to their former colonies of Brazil and Angola in their thousands. They can't even get the headlines that Greece attracts daily. It's as if they're just not there.
Perhaps that's been discussed by these four men. Maybe, maybe not.

Concepts Of Active Learning And Critical Thinking Education Essay
Published: Last Edited:
This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers.
Accepting challenges and evolving in deep understanding of a particular subject is believed to be the method to succeed. A student faces many challenges in higher education, so to become a proficient student it is important to be an active learner, think critically and commit to learn and understand the subjects deeply. In other words this is called deep learning. These three are some of the features that are linked together characterizing an effective learner. In this essay I will focus on how critical thinking, deep and active learning are vital in higher education and help to become an independent learner.
According to Barkley (2010), getting involved in learning is by being engaged in the activities such as exploring, analysing, reflecting, creating, communicating or actually using new ideas or experiences can be defined as active learning. In other words it means the mind is actively engaged. Students involved in active learning often organize their tasks, discuss, explain ideas and solve problems. It is often combined with cooperative or collaborative learning in which to accomplish the goal, the students work interactively in teams that encourage interdependence and individual responsibility (Barkley, 2010).
Jones (1993) asserts that the students gain a far better understanding of the information by actively getting involved in what task is given by the teachers. The terms experiential learning and learning by doing means the same as active learning which encourages student participation in class. One example of this is that the teachers, professors or instructors stop occasionally and asks questions to students while teaching and to clear out doubts, if any; by the students that show that they are attentive throughout the lecture which means being a part of active learning process.
Leonard (2002) suggests some strategies for a student to become an active learner and succeed in their goals and that is by organizing themselves in groups, discussing and researching information on specific topics given. For preparing their lectures they can summarise the passages in few words to help them think about what they read. Summarizing passages will help students save a lot of time in reading it later. Students can set out questions about one aspect of the subject for themselves, which will assist them to explore the subject, and answering those questions can help them to research in an organised and focused way. Planning out activities, organizing the work and making space to lay out their task and listing out all the key points for one aspect of study helps them in achieving good grades.
Another strategy for learning actively is time management. Managing time makes things easier for students as time is very crucial and can be done by dividing a project into small tasks, which means avoiding procrastination. A basic way of starting a strategy is making a list, starting with what can be done and working on it and having an overview of the course for a brief idea of it. Recognizing the student's limits, they can ask help from their friends, parents and teachers which leads to their own personal development, building their self-esteem and problem solving skills. They should focus on their long term goals and remind themselves of the benefits that can be expected out of it, since motivation leads to success. The student should also be confident to accept new and different challenges (Cottrell 2008).
Burns and Sinfield (2006) suggest that for being an active learner it's necessary for a student to keep a record of what has been learned and once the task is completed they should go through what they did. If any errors or mistakes found, should be corrected by evaluating their work and finding out what could have been improved in any other way and what have been achieved from their performance. All these strategies can be achieved only if it is set as a student's first priority.
Critical thinking is a part of active learning. Cottrell (2005) asserts that critical thinking is an imaginary or intellective activity, which is associated with using the mind. In addition to this she even states that critical thinking could be said as the reflective thinking allowing in looking and examining the concepts or ideas from different angles. Reflecting on the given tasks is helpful in higher education because it helps to rectify mistakes and guides in better learning. A wide range of skills and attitudes are involved in the complex process of critical thinking. It helps to make accurate decisions and more able to be reasonable on what to be trusted and where it is beneficial to be sceptical. Argument is a part of critical thinking which is considered to express a message accurately. Arguments make any information more relevant and reliable.
Similarly Judge, McCreery and Jones (2009) emphasize that critical thinking is questioning own self for better understanding. It increases ability to recognize a student's strengths and weaknesses and eventually representing the thought in a better form. Thinking critically helps in enhancement of the brain and helps in improving and making accurate judgements. Analytical thinking which also means critical thinking enables the students to be more effective in any state, figuring out the logic of the present situation.
Burbach (2004) states that large part of critical thinking is being open minded as it not only helps in solving problems in all possible ways but to accept an answer which is different from what was originally expected. It also helps thinking objectively which means to think from different point of views or others opinion to make a decision.
Critical thinkers are those who ask relevant questions, take statements and arguments in consideration and have the sense of curiosity to know and the ability to admit the necessity of understanding information. Someone who is interested in solving problems in various ways and can clearly describe the set of criteria for analyzing ideas and has the willingness to examine beliefs, points of view and assumptions and weighing them against the facts. Critical thinkers have the positive thinking and see critical thinking as a lifelong process of self assessment. They listen carefully to others and give feedback. They put aside judgement until all facts are considered and gathered and all the evidence to support their opinions and assumptions. This enables them to reject the incorrect or irrelevant information, looking at proofs and examining the problems closely. In short the critical thinker should have the proper sense of the attitude of engaging oneself in objective thinking (Payne and Whittaker, 1999).
Fryer (2012) offers the strategies of critical thinking for student stating that thinking critically validates a student's prior knowledge encouraging them to read for detail. Doing analytical research on specific task enables them to discuss, describe and predict and presenting the data could help them become more conscious. They should work more in groups to combine everyone's points of view to come up with a greater, newer idea and better conclusion. They also should elaborate all the information given, reasoning logically. They should reflect and evaluate on their learning with criticism to figure out their errors and mistakes and solving the problems. Last but not the least; they can demonstrate their knowledge digitally by creating portfolios.
A student needs understanding of detail in studies, information, skills and activities which is called deep learning. Deep learning comes in three categories, which are necessary in preparing students to achieve their goals. According to Leonard (2002)Content knowledge is the first part of deep learning which means the student should engage themselves deeply in studies and understand the importance of it. They should be able to relate the data's by organizing information. Taking notes too could be useful. They should learn relevant facts to a content area. Applying theories and facts they acquire and expand their knowledge (Leonard, 2002).
Deep learning activities require students to be able to use and do something worthy with the information that they have gained. This is a part of cognitive strategies. The strategies involve the commitment to systematic thought and analysis. They should think critically and should have the ability to solve complex problems. They are supposed to generate hypothesis. They should be able to recognize the data needed to solve it and apply tools and techniques to gather all the significant information. Evaluating, integrating and analysing critically lead them to be a deep learner. Communicating is also essential for deep learning as communicating with other, the students can figure out their opinion or point of view (Fryer, 2012).
The third category is learning behaviour in which the students must work in groups to identify, create solution and complete tasks. They should be completely prepared to meet new challenges. They should figure out what should be done and what they do. They should monitor their development towards their aims and have the faith to complete their tasks successfully (Leonard, 2002).
Beattie, Collins and McInnes (1997) suggest that deep learning is more important than surface learning in higher education. In surface learning information is simply memorised, whereas deep learning relates ideas and information from different sources. Surface learning does not require students to reflect on their learning and it focuses on unrelated parts of the tasks. Deep learning involves evidence and arguments to be presented by the students. Arguments support the evidence provided by the students and make it more reliable. Therefore deep learning is essential for a student.
For succeeding in higher education it is very necessary for being an independent learner and working very hard. Active learning is the first step that should be taken by the student. Being active can help them in evaluating their current levels of competence and confidence and develop specific skills and attitudes such as team work, action planning, problem-solving. Thinking critically enables a student to make the right choice in achieving their goals. It also helps a student to gain a better sense of him individually. It even creates awareness of what they need and for doing something unique. Critical thinking improves a positive, forward looking approach for them. Deep learning also helps to succeed in higher education by allowing students to understand deeply. It includes stimulation of their thoughts and exploring problems from various angles enabling them to make sense of what they learned.
In conclusion, evaluating by critical thinking, making decisions and connecting information, being independent and getting engaged in task will make one an active learner. Deep learning is also a part of active learning and critical thinking. It is beneficial because it helps finding information in detail (Payne and Whittaker, 1999). So I strongly believe these three features characterizing an independent learner will lead a student to success not only in higher education but also in future.

77 Anemia is an indicator of both poor nutrition and poor health. The consequences including: Social and economic development. Cognitive performance, behavior Physical growth of children Immune status, morbidity from infections. Epidemiological studies have shown Iron deficiency is a main cause of anemia Association of vitamin A deficiency to anemia A few studies have been done to describe the relationship of anemia with deficiency in trace elements Anemia
88 Trace elements (Se, Zn, Cu, Mg, and Mo) are essential nutrients with regulatory, immunologic, and antioxidant functions resulting from their action as essential components or cofactors of enzymes throughout metabolism. Essential trace elements
9 Selenium: Historical Background Selenium was identified as a new chemical element in 1817 (1). Selenium was recognized to be an essential micronutrient in 1957, when they observed that selenium prevented liver necrosis in vitamin E-deficient rats (2). Selenium was found to be a constituent of the enzyme glutathione peroxidase in 1973 (3). 1. Ann Physik 1818;29:229–54. 2. J Am Chem Soc 1957;79:3292–3. 3. Science 1973;179: 588–90.

Se-dependent glutathione peroxidases are implicated in thyroid gland protection. Mol Nutr Food Res. 2008 Nov;52(11):1235-46
12 The importance of selenium to human health was recognized in 1979, when Chinese scientists discovered that selenium supplementation protected against Keshan disease, an endemic cardiomyopathy that occurs primarily among children living in areas of China with selenium- poor soils (1). In 1984, selenium deficiency was shown to be associated with widespread anemia among cattle grazing in selenium-poor areas in the Florida, USA, and selenium supplementation prevented the anemia (2).

17 Selenium deficiency may contribute to anemia among dialysis patients and adults with pulmonary tuberculosis 1,2. These observations in humans are consistent with studies in animals, which have shown that selenium deficiency is associated with anemia. At present, selenium deficiency should be considered a possible cause of anemia. Selenium related to anemia 2 Life Support Syst 1985;3:36-40; 3 Eur J Clin Nutr 2005;59:526-32
18 High prevalence of anemia and micronutrient deficiency has been reported in developing countries, including Vietnam. A few studies assessed serum levels of trace elements in children and adults. No study on profile of serum trace elements and anemia among these subjects in Vietnam. A better understanding of the interactions among anemia, and deficiency in essential trace elements. Rationale
19 Objectives These cross-sectional studies were aimed to assess: Hb levels in whole blood Serum Vitamin A Serum levels of essential elements (Se, Zn, Fe, Cu, Mg, and Mo) To investigate the relationship of micronutrient deficiencies to anemia among preschool children, primary school children, adolescent girls, and adults living in rural Vietnam
20 Subjects: preschool children aged 1-5 yrs; primary schoolchildren 6-9 yrs adolescent girls 11-17 yrs. Adult from 20 to 60 yrs. Study area: Thainguyen, Bacninh, Hanam and Hatay provinces, rural Vietnam. The subjects were chosen by systematic random sampling. Subjects and methods Hanoi Thai nguyen Bavi, Hatay Hanam

A Trace Elements: Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometer (ICP-MS) High sensitivity: ppt detection level Multi-elemental coverage: almost all elements Fast analysis time: few minutes/sample Wide analytical detection range: up to 9 orders
23 Criteria for Undernutrition (WHO, 1995); Anemia (WHO, 2001); Adults Male: Hb<130g/L; Female: Hb<120g/L Children <5 yrs: Hb <110 g/L; 5-9 yrs: Hb <115 g/L Adolescent girls: Hb <120g/L Low serum levels or trace element deficiency (Sauberlich, 1999; Hotz & Brown, 2004); Selenium <70 g/L Copper <750 g/L Magnesium <18.0 mg/L Zinc <650 g/L for preschool children <750 g/L for adolescent girls. Vitamin A deficiency (IVACG 1982); Serum retinol <0.70 mol/L
24 Statistics Data were analyzed using the SPSS version 11.0 The independent-samples T-test was used to compare levels of trace elements in anemic and none-anemic groups. Logistic regression analyses were used to find the relationships between anemia, vitamin A, and levels of trace elements. Statistical significance indicated when P < 0.05

45 Selenium Deficiency Heme Biliverdin Carbon monoxide Fe +2 Hepatic heme oxygenase-1 Upregulation
46 Selenium deficiency leading to anemia A mechanism by which selenium deficiency could potentially contribute to anemia is through modulation of inflammation. Low serum Se concentrations among disabled older women living in the USA were predictive of subsequent increase in interleukin (IL)-6. Thus, Se could potentially play a role in the anemia of chronic inflammation through its relationship with the upregulation of IL-6. In turn, IL-6 has been implicated in the upregulation of hepcidin, the iron regulatory hormone that blocks iron absorption in the gut and iron release from macrophages and the liver.
47 In Adults: The incidence of anemia was 30% and lower serum selenium levels were found in anemic compared to non-anemic groups. In Preschool Children: Prevalence of anemia: 55.6%; Vitamin A deficiency: 10.7% Se deficiency was 65.3%, Zn deficiency was 86.9%, Mg deficiency was 51.9% and Cu Deficiency was 1.7%. The first data showed a strong association of selenium deficiency with anemia in children. Conclusions
48 In primary school children: Prevalence of anemia and VAD was 45.2%, and 11.3%, respectively. Prevalence of zinc, selenium, and magnesium deficiency in the children was 91.4%, 75.6%, 59.5%, respectively. The results showed an association of low serum Se with anemia. In Adolescent Girls: Prevalence of anemia was 20.4%; low serum Se was 15.9% and low serum Zn 26.5%. The results showed a strong association of low serum Se with anemia. Conclusions (cont)
49 Se deficiency is associated with anemia among preschool children, school children, adolescent girls, and adults living in rural Vietnam. Important public health question? Does Se deficiency contribute to anemia in other populations at high risk for anemia, such as pregnant women? non- pregnant women? It is not known whether improving dietary Se intake will increase Hb levels among populations with Se deficiency? Given the present findings, it is urgent that well-designed clinical control trials will provide the strongest evidence for the role of Se in anemia among human populations. Future Directions for Research
50 Future Directions for Research Indications that a suboptimal selenium status may have much wider significance in influencing disease susceptibility must be pursued. Studies must cover both the impact of selenium deficiency on protection against oxidative damage during tissue trauma and its genetic implication for viral virulence.

Black Diamond Performance Reporting, portfolio management service provider for independent advisors, has now put the crowning touch on its growing client service team. It appointed Nancy Ma-Apfel as its director of client service, the company said Friday morning.
Ma-Apfel will lead a specialized group of service professionals who will give its independent advisor client base a single point of contact at the company for all of their needs. She has over 14 years of experience in building and managing service teams, and will continue that with her group at Black Diamond. There, her team will be directly responsible for ensuring smooth client experiences with Black Diamond's technology.
And there is more to come. Black Diamond hopes to double its client service team and end up with 16 representatives by yearend, Apfel said in a phone interview on Friday morning. "Black Diamond has got a great niche in the marketplace," Ma-Apfel said. "They have a dedicated service model with a single point of contact for [clients]. That is unique in the marketplace."
Previously, she was a senior manager for Schwab Advisor Services. Indeed, Ma-Apfel is the latest executive from the independent advisory industry's leading custodians to join Jacksonville, Fla.-based Black Diamond. In January, it scored David Welling, a former advisory business consultant and general manager at Schwab Advisor Services, a division of Charles Schwab [SCHW]. And in March the firm hired Karen Lisowski as its vice president of sales. Lisowski had been vice president of retirement plan sales and relationship management at Fidelity Investments, where she worked with registered investment advisors (RIAs).
"Nancy will play a key role in helping advisors on their path to greatness by enhancing and expanding our ability to serve sophisticated, growth-oriented advisors," Reed Colley, president and chief executive officer of Black Diamond Performance Reporting said in a statement.
On June 21, Black Diamond rolled out its Blue-Sky initiative, a plan to enhance its existing technology offerings with expanded services. Those enhancements include new teams of expert consultants in transition support, performance history and client reporting. #

A local committee has been established to create a regional public charter school within the tri-city area. Public information sessions have been scheduled to allow residents, industry experts, and local community leaders an opportunity to learn more about the proposed initiative.
The school will be based on an experiential and personalized learning model utilizing STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) curriculum, with an emphasis in green technologies and smart growth design principles. All students, ages 12-19, will be welcome to apply. In addition to the full-time program, part-time elective courses will be offered to traditional high school students as well as a certificate option for students enrolled in an existing GED study program.
Sandra Tremblay, one of the committee's founders, commented, "We are very excited about the possibilities this opens up for providing additional resources to local area schools. This will be a one of a kind learning evironment, and we believe that once people have a chance to see what we are proposing, they will be as excited by the potential as we are. It's bold. It's innovative. And it's completely student centered."
The committee will be hosting public information sessions to be held as follows: 5/5: Dover Public Library at 10 a.m.; Rochester Public Library at 2 p.m. 5/9: Stratham Public Library at 7 p.m. 5/16: Portsmouth Public Library at 6 p.m. To follow the group's progress and get up to date information, join their list serve by emailing: email@example.com. For more information about this topic, please contact Renee Bennett by calling 603-834-1632, or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hopefully it doesn't trend towards bad, as this episode was average to borderline bad. Nothing about this episode grabbed me, and I'm apprehensive about this show turning into some hybrid of a contemporary cop/antiterrorist task force with sprinkles of sci fi elements. -Jamman
How else are you supposed to say Timecopchick but classy? I listened to the opening credits while checking the consistency of the episode format, and I noticed something wrong with the monologue during the opening credits. They're lying to us. She's lying to us. Lying to us just like exactly how the same Battlestar Galactica lied to us. "They have a plan" They have a plan? Fuck you, there is no plan. Unless we're back to Buffy vs. Glory? "Your great evil master plan is that you want to go home?" Episode one, we find out it's an accident and that they can't go home. Episode 2, despite making serious changes, a litter of dead bodies and leaving behind at least 2 time travellers to make yet more scrutiable changes for the next 65 years, the "terrorists" still try to quantum leap upstream anyway even though the future might be in some serious flux. Master Braytak might have a plan, but these deushwads are just smoke and noise. There's no way Tony is dead if his name is still being posted in the opening credits. But I'm supposed to think that they have a plan? Fuck you Continuum. Methinks the voice over was copy written by a spin doctors selling a formula. Timecopchick. The writers room has their own agenda. Timecopchick with depth. Too many chefs. Don't get me wrong. I usually get turned on when a woman lies to me. But I've been to this rodeo before. And it chaffs.
I watched both borderline bad episodes. Can anyone explain what the superbad terrorists are back in time to do? Because it looks like they came back with a plan to change the future, and that plan is basically go back to the future while blowing up a power plant. When that didn't work, they blow up a super-collider. My favorite part was the need to go to the professor's wife to figure out that the terrorists wanted him for access to the big power machine. What the hell else would they want him for? To order orange frappacinos, since "orange" is extinct in 2077?
They fucked up. The terrorists were only supposed to go back in time 6 years. The bald black guy with glasses explained this in the pilot. However. Their leader, played by Stargate's Tony Almendola, didn't arrive with the core of the cell. They think he's dead. Part of the fuck up. But it's more than possible, that there wasn't a fuck up. The general just lied to his troops. Fearless Leader is in 2012 for a reason, and he's totally under the radar cranking out the evil unopposed. But the troops? They don't have a plan. They just want to go home. No matter the cost.
The original plan was to go back six years earlier and stengthen their movement so that they aren't all arrested and sentened to death row. Instead they ended up sixty years earlier and now they're just trying to return to the future and raise a little hell before they get there.
Oooohhhh!!! That makes sense of Kellogg's comments (his plot looks more interesting than the rest). Okay, that just leaves clunky exposition and the unfortunately repeated line "You mean I get TWO tuck-ins?" to cringe at.
Credits are about money. If an actor gets credited in the main titles for an episode, that means he gets paid for that episode and gets residuals from its reruns and home-video sales, whether he appears in the episode or not. (People credited in the end titles get paid for the episode but don't get residuals, or so I understand it.) If Amendola is under contract as a regular cast member, entitled to get paid for the entire season, then he gets billed as a regular cast member. There have been some shows (like Heroes, IIRC) where only the cast members actually present in a given episode are credited for that episode; and there have been cases (like the House finale) where a featured actor's credit is held until the end to preserve the surprise of their appearance. But those are special cases, and what kind of billing an actor gets depends on what their contract specifies. Amendola's prominent enough that his agent was probably able to get a contract that got him paid for every episode, and thus billed in every episode. Anyway, being billed as a regular doesn't necessarily guarantee your character will return. In the NBC series Awake that just ended, Michaela McManus was hired as a regular and her name appeared in the opening credits of every episode, even though she only appeared in episodes 1, 3, and 4 and then was dropped altogether. They changed their mind about the role they'd intended for the character, so they wrote her out, but McManus was still presumably under contract for the whole season, so she got credited and paid for the whole season -- which seems like a pretty nice compensation for being written out of the show so soon.
The most head scratching part of all this is the many people they're indiscriminately killing. Hey future terrorists, how do you know you didn't just kill off the one person that could have averted the draconian bent your society embraced? Or a relative? Or set off the very events that led to the corporate takeover? Dumb, very dumb.
It's only 65 years back. They know what their mums and dads look like. You saw that art installation statue in the pilot next to Alec's building? The bugger was chipped/fractured. Something cleaved a chunk off. Maybe its almost safe to do anything they want, because Vancouver is going to be frakked by some really bad shit in the next 30 years before the bail out saves the world? The damage to the statue might suggest a bomb. Some people fear that the only thing really stopping the use of fission bombs is radioactive fallout. In theory Fusion bombs don't produce radiation. They can blow up cities and then move in the next day to camp out on the rubble.
That must depend on the show, then, or the rules have changed in recent years. But take Babylon 5 as an example: most of the cast weren't contracted and paid for all 22 episodes (some were contracted for as few as 13), but they didn't have to change the main titles for every episode.
Still, Amendola's character was in the opening five minutes of the pilot and then disappears. Is his agent that good guarantee a main cast credit for him in the whole series for a five minute stint? I guess this is something we have to wait and see how it plays out, but I hope that if he returns they don't play it as a surprise twist. Because anyone who pays attention the the credits is going to be expecting it. The indiscriminate killing is simply to emphasize that they are badass. Although, I suspect they are careful enough not to kill their ancestors. Kiera was able to pull up the address of that guy's contemporary relatives in the pilot. Of course, that just raises the question, since her outfit can provide addresses of their ancestors, why doesn't she just track them down and kill them. Of course, it's completely unethical to kill someone just because of what their great-grandchildren will do 60 years from now, but considering how much of a threat these poeple are both in the future and the present, it's an option that should at least be considered.
Changing the titles costs money. Not a lot. but there's a budget. Paying the actors now, and paying the actors in the future, are not only in the hands of completely different budgets from the graphics budget of the immediate production costs but most probably different departments and even companies that might not yet exist. "Right now people" don't give a shit about "future people" and "future people" hate the shit out of thoughtless "past people" so fucking presumptuous that they believe that are "right now people" that they fuck every thing up for the "future people" who really are the "Right now people" ad infinitum. How come talking about the 4 dimensional economics of Hollywood sounds like a science fictional temporal cold war?
Well, if he's getting regular billing, of course he'll be back. My point is simply that someone who's under contract as a regular isn't necessarily going to get his credit removed from an episode he isn't in. Lots of people think that credits are just about describing who's doing what in a production, but they're really about who gets paid what, which is why they're often rather different from reality. Whether and how a person gets credited for a particular episode depends on the particular contract they have, so there's no uniform rule. You'd be surprised how many people don't pay any attention to the credits. I've seen TV reporters' Q&A columns where people wrote in to ask them who played such-and-such a role on their favorite show even though the name was clearly shown in the credits every week (even back in the days when you actually had to pay for a stamp to send mail to someone). Some people just don't pay attention to written text. (Including, in my experience, most of the drivers on the freeway when you enter a construction zone with a clearly marked reduced speed limit.) Wouldn't it be more ethical just to alter their life paths so they didn't meet their future spouses, or something?
Possibly, but she's not Asimov's Second Foundation. We don't know very much about how time travel works in this show, although I suspect it won't be terribly original in its rules: if that's the case, any attempts to change the past might be like small wounds which the timeline corrects as soon as and as thoroughly as it can. The parents and grandparents would meet anyways, just under different circumstances. Besides, the show's gravest problem (and paradoxically most interesting theme) is that she's apparently a good person in the service of bad masters, while the terrorists are horrible people pursuing a good cause. Even with that set-up, Keira has happily flounced about cleaning out bank accounts and calling in police when she needs them: the terrorists killed some of those people, but Keira arranged for the victims to be there in the first place.
take a clue form the name of the series... "Continuum" not "Parallels" nor "Omniverse". Just like the first terminator movie, this tv show is about predestination. I liked it in the terminator TV show when people started arriving in the past form contradicting timelines, but that's not going to happen here, because we saw time carry on in the future after Kiera backstepped. She hadn't destroyed or changed the future and we've known this since the pilot, even if she doesn't.
Good idea. My point was that Kiera has knowledge to essentially prevent these people from being born, which she threatened to do do that guy in the pilot. Whether she kills them, manipulates them into not meeting their spouses, or manipulates a divorce if they're already married, or makes them sterile or whatever, it's an option that's open to her. Likely a last resort option, but an option all the same. Of course, it is interesting that they all seem to be from the British Columbia and have ancestry in the BC area going back 60 years. While not implausible, you'd think 60 years is long enough that at least one of them would have had their ancestors somewhere outside the province in modern day.
They're Nationalists who believe in the power of the people to govern themselves not the global oligarchs of a profit motivated meritocracy... Racists paramilitary survivalist nutjobs are usually at least third generation who believe that local people are more important than foreigners over the... Since when did Canada have a President? The terrorist that wanted to stay said that the president stuck it to the corporations. Canada has a Prime minister. A Canadian wouldn't call the US President "the" President.
The first episode established that North America was a corporate-controlled union, so they're likely to think of Canada as part of that union (as it is for themselves in their own time).
it's just a question of when Canada and the US reintegrated? Was there a war of the Americas during those dark times? Usually wars don't bankrupt both sides. Then again in the old days, the winning army would just rape the civilians take everything not nailed down and go home... The civilized world is too touchy feely to win a war guilt free. So Canada and America hammered the shit out of each other, maybe something happened to the English Royal family, and then went for a hand out to Pepsi and Time Warner Brothers AOL afraid that all those soldiers would say fuck it and carve out their own little empires when their paychecks bounced? I wonder how far down the American Union extends? Past Mexico? past Columbia? Past Peru? Past Chile Past Argentina? All the way to the Falkland Islands which puts Britain and America squarely at odds. But like I said, something probably happened to the British Royal family.

When the military moved our family to Tokyo, we were blessed to find a vibrant church of Japanese believers. Our first Easter in Japan, my thoughts filled with spring, I dressed in pastel colors. But when I walked into church that morning, everyone was wearing red.
Before I could say "Happy Easter" to the usher, he greeted me, "Happy Resurrection Day!"
When I slipped into a seat next to an American friend, she explained it to me: "The Japanese wear red on Easter—Resurrection Day to them—to honor Christ's shed blood."
In that moment I realized several of my ideas about Easter were cultural. Since then, I've discovered many aspects of my faith are grounded in my American paradigm rather than in my Bible.
Faith has always been embroidered by culture. But we risk creating God in our image when we view him only through the lens of our experiences. Our God is too small if we limit him to our culture.
Did you know Americans have become minority members of our religion? By numbers alone, the language of Christianity is no longer English. Soon, two-thirds of all Christians will be from Africa, Latin America, or Asia.
If God loves everyone, irrespective of political borders, then we need to do a better job of becoming citizens of the world. Who are our international sisters in the faith, and how can we get to know them? We might just find that in knowing them better, we discover new ways of knowing ourselves—and God.
1. Read a different newspaper.
American television's "world news" offers little coverage of stories outside the U.S. And newspapers have limited space in which to display six continents' worth of news. So why not broaden your source of news coverage?
Almost every nation has a newspaper or interest group devoted to covering its news. Hundreds of newspapers are a click away. You'll find many of them at www.world-newspapers.com. My favorite source for global politics is the International Herald Tribune at www.iht.com. If your interests are specifically Asian, try Asahi Shimbun's Asia Network at www.asahi.com/english/asianet.
2. Take a personal interest.
Do you know the origins of the coffee you drink? Ugandans hope you do. Uganda's cash crop used to be tobacco—before Americans decided smoking was bad. Now their biggest export is coffee because Americans have decided drinking coffee is good. Did you know your daily Starbucks run had global implications? I didn't either until I met someone from Uganda.
