Believe it or not, we are actually all quite alive…
24 Comments to "Believe it or not, we are actually all quite alive…"
You are the dearest sweetest friend I know! And I promise to come visit you in the loony bin. 🙂 I love you Chelle! You know I do! 🙂 I had such a good time talking to you today. Let\'s try to talk again before you leave this weekend. I can\'t stand the thought of not talking to you for two whole weeks! Please don\'t get stranded at the library again. You scared me so bad cause I couldn\'t get a hold of you. lol
Love ya!
LOL- you poor thing! Sounds like you\'ve been on a real rollercoaster- don\'t worry about losing your mind; I haven\'t missed mine in years 😉 I can\'t believe you all had to spend the whole day at the library (of course there are worse places to stuck) you are blessed Annabelle is such a good baby.
Hey Chelle! It is so good to hear from you! I am glad that you are doing okay:) You\'re little stories made me smile. I read them to Craig and he actually giggled a bit too. Sorry little Annabelle is not wanting to sleep lately. Morgan has decided that she is not too fond of napping either. She just doesn\'t want to miss anything. She does better if I hold her until she\'s sleeping and then lay her down, but I don\'t want her to get used to that. I usually put her down when she\'s sleepy and she\'ll roll right over and go to sleep. Hope things get easier for you! Well, I better get to bed! Hugs to you and Annabelle!
**Happy (belated) 8 months!
i should stay a write LOTS of words to you….and i WILL be back. but in the meantime….put on your very favorite bouncy, bouncy music and see if that wakes up your brain.
so glad to find something to read here tonight!!!!!!!!
Chelle, you poor girl. I am so sorry that you got stranded! Later on you will be able to look back and laugh at all these little incidents. They are quite funny and I hope your pin number comes to, soon. Don\'t worry though, you are not the only one…My mind goes blank MANY times a day 🙂
All the love to you and that GORGEOUS girl of yours
from me and Noah
Hugs & Kisses
you poor thing but i know how you feel 🙂
This post is great! If we cannot laugh at our selves then who can we laugh at? It just proves that you are human and like everyone else have those moments that just add to our lives. I haven\'t visited in quite awhile and I have missed so much. Won\'t make that mistake again. You have a beautiful family, you are truly blessed Be back soon.
God bless you and I would like to invite you to join my friends list.~Marilyn~
Oh, Chelle! This post makes made me laugh out loud – I\'ve done similar things (paid the cable bill twice in one week, written down a deposit twice which prompted a bounce note or two, etc.). You need a break! You need a nice cup of coffee and a foot massage or something. David????
O, all of these things have a habit of coming together, all at once, in a big jumble that does, in facat, make us think, "I\'m so not ok!" But of course, my dear, you are. And you have a very loving and patient husband to remind you of that. Thanks for sharing your humanity!
Thank you for excepting my invitation to my friends list. Hope you and your family have a wonderful wekend.
God bless you and your precious family,~Marilyn~
LOL,I have done things very much like that,I have paid one bill too much once,had a credit for a few months.,then forgotten to pay another completely one month,I didn\'t figure it out till the internet was cut off,LOL We all do it Chelle,your not nuts.
Oh, you poor thing!!! But, don\'t we all have stretches in our lives like that??? When I was an intern at a Historic house I had to give tours on the weekends and this included opening the house up. By doing so I had to turn off the alarm system with a number code. I had done it a thousand times before, but one day I walked in, looked at the key pad and it was gone, completely blank…The security company called and thankfully I remembered the password to tell them that I wasn\'t breaking in, but the code, to this day is gone…I don\'t know if the brain gets full and sometimes things have to go (like the important stuff) or what….
Anyway, I am so glad you are back and that things are good despite your little adventures! You have been missed…
Sarah 🙂
Oh Chelle,
It is because of all of your cute, funny, and unpretentious little quirks. We here adore you for all that you are! You are a wonderful endearing person. And matter to us more then words can describe. Annabelle, I am so proud of you for being a good girl for your mommy! You must come and see your auntie while you are here!!!!!!! And your cousins are VERY excited to see you too! Not to mention your Uncle Petie, he adores you too by the way!
Hope that you guys have a wonderful long trip over! And enjoy the snow if you are on your way here today!
Loves all around from all here!
Dearest Chelle….so good to hear some snippets of your life…especially such funny little incidents. Don\'t worry about losing your mind…I lost mine quite awhile back…it is good that you are able to laugh, relax, and even enjoy life in the midst of these moments. Annabelle is getting so big, and she is SUCH a sweetie pie….Elizabeth went through the same kind of nap-issue around this age, but she is doing well again!
Oh my what a time you have been having! Your husband is indeed great! My husband would have blown a gasket over the cheque thing. Oh it sure sounded like you have been having some of my days. And hey sometimes the brain gets tired. Lack of sleep will do that. Also not eating good or ontime.
Annabelle is such a cutie.
It is so good to see you posting again. I missed ya!
She lives! Welcome back…
I am sorry to say that I did laugh out loud at your expense after reading this post.
Hang in there! We all have those days…
Annabelle is such a joy to watch as she grows up (even from photos)…
enjoy every moment!
Ooooooooooh honey I\'m so sorry you\'ve had a *week*. That just totally sucks!!!!! But don\'t worry, everyone does stuff like that – I\'ve found myself in similar situations many, many….many….times. Hopefully things are going smoother now!
God bless 🙂
Oh honey! Things have to get better. If it makes you feel any better, I get people who do teh same thing with their visa bills all the time. Of course, they are usually mad at us since they would never do anything like that and we must have posted it wrong (until we can show them the check). IT happens to us all! I am so glad you guys had a good time at the library. it helps when the little one cooperates!
$874…..oh and of course they won\'t give you a refund. Now, if you OWED them $8.47 and didn\'t pay it, they would turn your phone off. LOL I hope you get some sleep soon!!
Thanks for stopping by!
Just the other day I was reminded of a favorite quote of mine. "You have to laugh at yourself because you\'d cry your eyes out if you didn\'t." I can\'t remember now why it came to mind, but I do know that I had just done something particularly "cry-aboutable"–see you might be doing strange things, but at least you rmember them! 🙂 Anyway…I thought of you and this entry…and my heart was warmed. Isn\'t it always easier to laught at ourselves when we know that others are doing the same! Hope today finds you and Annabelle savoring the joys and delights of chilly autumn days…ahhh the gifts of November!
Oh no, it\'s okay, you are not losing your mind! These things happen to us sometimes. Just have a good chuckle and move along! I am so glad your back, Annabelle is too cute in those new pictures. Devon is now 5 months old and has a tooth! We are working on his sitting up without falling over still, it will come. Boys are just a bit slower than girls at things. Do come and visit!
Wow that\'s a lot of poopy diapers…LOL
haha. you never cease to amaze us Chelle. don\'t be too worried though cause it\'s not liek it\'s getting any worse…. it\'s just life.
hey i\'m going to be over there this next week… i\'d like to look you guys up.
Hey Chelle…
Listen. You have a $847 credit? I will give you my phone number. I am sure we could come up with at leat $150 worth of things to say!
No worries…you mind will make a reappearance. Someday. I am taking the same thing in faith. My mom assures me this every other day.
There are so many worse places to be stuck than a library..and not too many better!
Hope all is well with you…

That was the most awful Idol experience ever! It didn't work as music and it sure didn't work as television.
Asking these kids to sing Andrew Lloyd Webber's cloying show tunes is like recruiting a flock of pigeons to play volleyball.
You knew it was going to be bad right from the beginning when Ryan Seasick proudly showed off the expanded orchestra. A full string section, just what this show needed.
It's always a bad sign when Randy Jackson is the person making the most sense. After calling Jason Castro's asthmatic version of "Memory" a "trainwreck", Randy observed, "It's not your thing, dude."
D'uh! You think? Why did they inflict this awful punishment on these kids? Trained music theater pros sound awful singing the music from Cats and Phantom of the Opera and Starlight Express. What chance do immature amateur vocalists have?
As a composer, Webber makes Barry Manilow look like Burt Bacharach. Sheer torture.
At the top of the show, Ryan Seastink described the evening to come as a "daunting task". I fully agree, if by "daunting" he meant nauseating.
Hey honey, Idol is on tonight. Do we have any Pepto?

6.27.09.."Almost there?..."
Thanks to E-Blogger, I post pix in a weird order...so here are some pix from today!:)
This is where we are currently staying the night. Amarillo, Tx. After checking in...news flash! Flash Flood! EEK! Very warm here and raining...very nice. You won't be cold though!
These are our communicating devices...they are fabulous! We chit chat back and forth, warn each other of crazy stuff going on up ahead, let each other know when we have to pee!! Great lil' things!
Yay! For Texas, I like this state.
Booooooo!! for New Mexico..not a fan! All for us couldn't wait to get out of here!
"Are we there yet?"
Our lil' troopers! They are just hanging in there, cruising right along. I believe they are enjoying themselves! "Monkey Business" is playing the license plate game, playing her game boy, and texting...she's growing up so fast!
He displays it so proudly..he's thinking: "Okay you guys..take the picture..people are staring at us.."
We leave this morning from our Colorado Springs hotel and walking out I noticed the dust caps came off one of the trailer tires...so I said something " Ummm...hey baby..this one doesn't look right? It's not matching the others"
The Mr: "Oh my gosh, thank you. We have to get that fixed before we go any further.."
I followed him with my back towards him as he was walking off...waiting for a pat on the back..nothing.nada.he didn't notice..
He thought it was all fixed and went to pull out and Happypants behind us noticed it flew off again...I threw out the package {Duh! To clean up..it's what I do...} and we had to go and dig through the garbage for the package to return it and get another....
But the thing is: I told him, "This is God's way of stalling us. There is a reason for everything!We will take this as a sign..." he agreed! :)

Roger Federer (born 8 August 1981) is a Swiss professional tennis player who held the number one position for a record 237 consecutive weeks[2] and 285 total weeks, one week behind record holder Pete Sampras. As of 18 October 2010, he is ranked World No. 2 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP). Many sports analysts, tennis critics, and former and current players consider Federer to be the greatest tennis player of all time.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
Federer has won a male record 16 Grand Slam singles titles. He is one of seven male players to capture the career Grand Slam and one of three (with Andre Agassi and Rafael Nadal) to do so on three different surfaces (clay, grass and hard courts). Federer has appeared in an unprecedented 22 career Grand Slam finals. He holds the record of reaching the semi-finals or better of 23 consecutive Grand Slam tournaments over five and a half years from the 2004 Wimbledon Championships through the 2010 Australian Open.[9] Federer also holds the record of reaching 10 consecutive Grand Slam finals and appeared in 18 of 19 over four and a half years from the 2005 Wimbledon Championships through the 2010 Australian Open, excluding the 2008 Australian Open. Federer has won 4 ATP World Tour Finals and 17 ATP Masters Series tournaments. He also won the Olympic Gold Medal in doubles with his compatriot Stanislas Wawrinka at the 2008 Summer Olympic Games.
As a result of Federer's successes in tennis, he was named the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year for four consecutive years (2005–2008).[10] He is often referred to as The Federer Express[11] or abbreviated to Fed Express,[11] the Swiss Maestro[11] or simply Maestro.[11][12][13][14]

Bruce Springsteen, one of the most iconic American musicians (and categorically patriotic songwriters) doesn't want America singing his songs for karaoke. Yet while Springsteen refuses to let American fans sing his songs, he licenses them freely abroad.
"Springsteen stands in front of the American flag on his album cover, and sings about making a home in 'America Land,' and yet refuses to license his music to allow fans to sing karaoke versions of his songs here in America," Karaoke Cloud CEO Joseph Vangieri remarked regarding the apparent contradiction between Springsteen's patriotism and American karaoke ban.
The drafters of the United States Constitution based the foundation of intellectual property upon a "utilitarian" philosophy. In order to encourage the progress of arts and sciences, creators were allowed to secure sole right to their work for a limited time. After that time, the work would become free to be used by all and fall into the public domain. This philosophy led the United States to be the largest distributor of intellectual property worldwide.
The intellectual property laws of European and Asian countries are based on a "moral rights" system. This gives the artist sole and exclusive right to their creation from fixation into a tangible form, until the end of time.
In moral rights countries, the rights of the artist are far above the interest in the betterment of society. Yet, in these countries there is a statutory rate for sync licenses – including karaoke.
While this was true in the United States for many years, a series of court decisions changed the laws in America, suddenly making it the most difficult country to license for karaoke.
Major American and categorically patriotic acts are thumbing their nose at the very root of American arts, and withholding a simple license that allows fans across the country to participate in their music in the form of karaoke.
If you can't sing Bruce Springsteen and enjoy a domestic beer at a karaoke bar, there is something entirely missing from the karaoke experience.

The 1st orientation week was quite hectic with the faculty and seniors giving us some hard time with their ides of serious fun. Hardly slept!! Anyways the next week began and we found ourselves in the DAM class starring at the slide show and subsequently this became a way of life. That was quite monotonous and to add insult to injury were the attributes of quizzes, presentations, assignments and what not.
While passing by a group of seniors, we heard the five letter word "PARTY". It gained weight when one of them prefixed it with the word "FRESHERS". Just the mention of a party rejuvenated our souls and so it all began. Seniors enlightened us that there will be two parties. One was which the college hosted in form of a formal lunch. The best part of which was the "DYNAMITE SOUP" which made us doubt the credibility of rest of the food. Anyways, that part ended and we landed back to hostel safe and sound.
The second one was an informal party hosted by our seniors and this was something highly anticipated. Finally, the day dawned. In marketing terms "CONSUMER SATISFACTION IS WHEN DELIVERY MEETSEXPECTATIONS" and it was nothing less than that. I can vouch for it. The theme set up for the party was 'TWINS' - People had to come paired up like twins & there were cases of Siamese twins too wearing identical outfits and posing for shutterbugs!
When we reached VGP resort after a gala time in the buses, we were welcome with a drink after which the grand Bay of Bengal welcomed us. People who hadn't frequented beaches went berserk and had the time of their lives soaking in the waves at sunset time. This was followed by some beach football and volleyball where the experts mingled with novices making both playing and watching the games real fun.
High tea was served later and exhausted participants took their seats only to realize they couldn't rest for long as the DJ had already started preparing to arrange the music system - And thus it began! Rocking beats, rollicking songs and a rapturous crowd comprising both the batches set the beach ablaze as people rendezvoused and familiarized with others. Even a sumptuous dinner couldn't stop people from getting back to the dais. What could only stop us stopped us - TIME. At around 10:30 PM, we reluctantly started back & the way back was pure fun too as chorus in Hindi songs rocked the East Coast Road – A rarity for ECR!
We reached back DoMS at around 11 PM and after striking a few group-poses in front of the department, we made our long walks back to our river banks. The memories of the party were saved intact in memory cards of digi-cams & more importantly, in our minds!

Why politicians wouldn't want to talk about science
The headline on wired.com today is an article about Clinton, Obama, and McCain spurning a debate that was supposed to be about science. You'd think that would be a warm place for Democrats: there is no fundamentalist Christian base out there asking them to refute basic tenants of modern science, and yet neither of them wanted to show up at the event. It's pretty telling, though, of electoral strategies: debating science is a very technical topic, and actually requires expertise. Which isn't a bad thing – if a president is going to be making decisions that are ultimately rooted in science, they ought to know something about it. But people don't campaign on facts, they campaign generalities. What's Obama going to say when someone confronts him about the environmental and humanitarian costs of ethanol subsidies? Or when McCain is questioned about his statement that marijuana has no unique medicinal value? Or when any of the candidates are pressed on how likely any of their plans are to actually address America's contribution to general environmental degradation? So much of electioneering is based on trying to get people to not pay attention to numbers and facts, so it doesn't seem to be in anyone's advantage to embarrass themselves when they have to concede that they really don't know much about science at all.

One hundred centuries ago, humans and fairies battled in a fierce turf war. When the fairies realized that their struggle was futile, they tucked ethereal tail and retreated underground. Only the demons lingered above, plotting to regroup and resume the attack against humans. But their plot went asunder and these would-be revolters wound up in Limbo, where they stewed for...more

Last Sunday, Blondie and I hit up Pony Bar for lunch - we split an oyster and bacon sandwich, and a pulled pork sandwich; and I had a couple of beers to round out my lunch. There has been a trend lately (actually, I know nothing about beer other than the fact that I love to drink it, so this "trend" might've been around for a long time) of brewers finishing their beers in bourbon barrels - and holy shit, it.is.good. Anytime I see "stout" combined with "bourbon barrel", I kind of lose my mind. So yes, last Sunday, I had several of those.
And then Blondie and I wandered up to 9th Ave to do something we've been talking about for years. We bought a new bed. When we lived in TX, we had a ginormous house filled with stuff we didn't need. And I had a bit of a hoarder mentality. Since leaving TX, we've lived in considerably smaller and smaller places (see the 500 sq ft shoebox we live in now) and have had to let go of more and more things. And I realized that I kind of like it. I like not being tied to things so much. I'd rather have my memories, my husband, my cat and a life that I truly like. I had pushed back on buying a new bed because we already had one, but Blondie finally talked me around. We downsized from a king to a queen - giving us a TON more room in our bedroom, and we forked over the cash for a tempur-pedic mattress. We also ditched our headboard and footboard. I've slept like the dead since the thing got delivered (Tuesday). I don't feel Blondie toss and turn (he's a restless sleeper) and I feel like I'm making up on the massive sleep debt I constantly live under from my sleep issues. It's been awesome.
The week was good - fast again - but good. I kept it very low key this week as I've wanted to live in the bed since we got it delivered. Work again was a "blink and it's over" type scenario. And I got some really good news this week - a few weeks after I started at my new company, I had done technical support for a sales call (when they shipped me out to the NJ/PA border). The SVP that I had gone with stopped by my desk on Thursday to tell me that the place we had done the sales call for wanted to buy - they had called earlier that week and were ready to start negotiations. The SVP told me that a lot of it was because of my help - it really wasn't, but I thought it was really cool that the SVP took time out of his day to come over and thank me.
Friday we pushed a release out - and the day was spent dealing with that. One of our 3rd party tools that we need to deploy code had crapped out earlier in the week and they promised it was fixed, but it wasn't. So all day I sat at desks other than my own, working on manual steps to get things pushed out. I literally think I was physically at my desk for about 12 minutes on Friday.
I met Blondie on Friday night at our local bar for dinner and some drinks; we caught up with one of our friends and played some music on the jukebox. It was a nice low-key night. We came home afterwards and popped Anchorman in "Scotch, scotch, scotch, down my throat!" Yesterday we hit the gym, and then went grocery shopping. Afterwards, we headed out and got little tacos for lunch and just enjoyed wandering through our neighborhood. We put in Skyfall last night (Daniel Craig, squee!) and then fell asleep watching Scott Pilgrim (in our fabulous new bed). And today has been a trip to the gym. I'm going to go get a bright red pedicure, and then we're heading back to Pony Bar for lunch.
This week my plans include meeting up with an old coworker from the SF office for dinner on Wednesday. And that's it. "Lame. Everything's lame".

A firefighter was rushed to Coney Island Hospital's Trauma Center on Tuesday, Dec. 30, after a portion of a wall in a three-story building collapsed, resulting in an injury to his shoulder. The three-alarm fire occurred at 222 Kings Highway. Nine other firefighters and eight civilians were treated for minor injuries.
The fire began in a Collector's Fantasy Store on the first floor. It was considered difficult to contain because of the strong wind gusts. – Norma Rodriguez

…..after crossing these hurdles at least to some extent, the real essence of the prayer lies in "Rasukh" (lasting effectivity). In worldly affairs rasukh usually means to get something done through the influence of others but in the deen this refers to something different. The purpose of prayer is that the heart becomes focused on God. Thus if after continuous struggle and effort one arrives at the point where one can pray without the need to exercise one's will, one can take it that one has achieved rasukh to some extent and degree. In order to do this one has to struggle against many one's natural inclinations and tendencies.
If one bends a piece of cardboard in one direction then in order to unbend it one would have to bend it in the opposite direction. Thus it is with human nature. One should be concerned with acting and not worry about experiencing states, good feelings etc; nor does one need to know if rasukh is being developed or not. It is like a child growing before our eyes. From moment to moment, from week to week, from month to month we do not see how much he has grown. This does not mean no growth is taking place but rather that at such close quarters we don't perceive it. After a while the increased height and size of the child will prove that continuous growth has been occurring. Thus it is with rasukh…
In this way if due to continuous striving one develops a certain attachment to the prayer one finds that one is internally changed and good deeds flow from one quite naturally. One no longer needs to struggle against oneself. If one undertakes this mujahada without any worldly intention then one finds that it becomes an aide to increase/support and the door to perfect rasukh is opened to one.
This steadfastness id the greatest miracle (karama) upon which the grace and good pleasure of God is ever present. Such people are the ones that have their supplications accepted often, in fact their wishing and willing becomes a supplication (du'a). This is because the circle of their own desires has been reduced to the point of zero and as such their wishes/desires are mostly for others. For themselves they only have one desire: a beautiful sealing (husn al–khatima) i.e. a good end to their earthly life.

Autumn has arrived in Vancouver with cool evenings and rainy days. Normally this marks the beginning of cross country season, this year marks the beginning of weight season.
I have started my weight program and I can report muscle fatigue and pain. It is a different experience to be in the weight room not exhausted from a hard long run. I think I may actually like doing weights. I will definitely like getting bigger and muscular. I am still struggling with eating though. I am forcing myself to eat more although it is a struggle.
The transition from runner to whatever I am becoming is much easier than I thought it would be. Every once and a while I am struck with a motivation to run. Then I get distracted and a couple days later I will get a faint urge again. I have run only once in the last week (I am losing track) and I am fine with that. I am starting to lose the felling of having to run. I still have the need to move and exercise though. What is going on? I loved running so much and now I am totally indifferent to this sport that has given me more than I can put into words.
My current indifference may be due to a few reasons, mainly total burnout. Secondly I have been able to pack my time with activities that I have never done because of running. For instance, I went out twice this weekend and was not in bed until the wee hours of the morning on Sunday. Instead of a long run on Sunday I slept in, drank coffee and watched the world go by. I spent the day napping and treating myself. It was a wonderful day of rest and relaxation. I feel a sense of freedom from my usual constraints and it is wonderful.
Another contributing factor to my contentment with my current situation may be dating. I am dating a man. We have been dating for a few weeks and it is nice. I figure I have bitched about being single so much that I should also report when things are good. Things are good.
What I do not want to happen is finding a obsessive need to fill the void that running has left. I have caught myself wondering how I managed to find the time to complete all the many activities I had in the past few years. Now that I have extra time I have packed even more into my schedule. I am going to shows, movies, boat cruises, bars/clubs, concerts and events like they are going out of style. If I am not careful I am going to burn myself out of life too!
I think this is kind of an aimless post, I have no direction to go. Has this become my life? My priorities may just be a bit up in the air right now as I am possibly attempting to find a new balance between my driven and focused personality and the plethora of exciting recreational opportunities that are here in the city.
On the exciting news front I only have 4 days until vacation! Although I have an education day smack in the middle of vacation I am sure it will still be fun. I am looking to take a short road trip and do a lot of weights and swimming and resting and cleaning!
I may have lied a bit. I was thinking about national cross country championships. They are in Vancouver next year. Just saying.
Happy Training!

The Financial Market Authority (FMA) recently published a new circular concerning key information documents for packaged retail and insurance-based investment products. The FMA had already published a revised version of its circular on sound remuneration policies and practices on January 19 2018.
The National Council of Private Insurance recently submitted for public consultation a draft regulation on the acceptance of retrocession by insurers and its intermediation. Among other things, the draft regulation allows insurers to accept retrocession risks from foreign reinsurers not registered with the Superintendence of Private Insurers (SUSEP) through foreign reinsurance brokers also not registered with the SUSEP, provided that the local insurer is authorised to operate in the lines of risks accepted.
The Superintendence of Private Insurance recently published Circular 553, which establishes new general guidelines on civil liability insurance policies for directors and officers, replacing the existing regulations on this matter. The new regulation, albeit flawed, has been welcomed by the market, as the previous D&O regulations did not reflect market practices.
The Brazilian Insurance Agency (SUSEP) recently published a circular to provide regulated companies (ie, insurers, reinsurers and private pension companies) with the possibility of entering into a commitment agreement for a change in conduct (known under the acronym 'TCAC' in Portuguese) with SUSEP. While TCACs are not a new instrument, the circular allows the parties to enter into an agreement establishing a reasonable period in which to change or adjust the company's conduct.
A new bill aimed at replacing the Brazilian insurance law will soon be submitted to the Senate and a new insurance law is likely to be enacted in 2017. In general, the bill is exceedingly protectionist towards insureds and so overly detailed that it creates a framework of rules that is confusing and conflicts with other existing laws and regulations not only of an insurance nature, but also of a civil procedure one (eg, the Arbitration Act and the Consumer Defence Code).
Superintendence of Private Insurance (SUSEP) Circular 541/2016 establishes general guidelines applicable to directors' and officers' insurance policies in relation to insurers' right to make direct payments to a third party, defence cost coverage and fines and contractual and administrative penalties. Although the new rule is an improvement, it has been much criticised by the insurance market and there has been a recent plea to SUSEP to suspend the rule's effects.
The Department of Finance Canada recently announced the launch of the first of a two-stage consultation process on the federal financial sector legislative and regulatory framework. In this first stage of the process, the department is seeking input on the trends that are highlighted in the paper, the implications of these trends and the areas where action is possible and desirable.
The securities and insurance regulator (SVS) recently published for comment the fifth version of its methodology for determining the risk-based capital of insurers. The latest version ‒ as well as the conceptual bases developed by the SVS for analysis, discussion and improvement ‒ includes a number of changes from the previous version and will be subject to public consultation until July 31 2017.
The China Insurance Regulatory Committee recently promulgated the new Measures for the Administration of Equity in Insurance Companies, which state that if the shareholding proportion of an insurer's foreign shareholders accounts for more than 25% of its registered capital, the relevant provisions of the measures must be applied by reference. This express inclusion of foreign-invested insurers represents a substantial shift away from current practice.
Since the end of 2017, the China Insurance Regulatory Committee has taken numerous regulatory measures to address disorder in the insurance market, some of which have brought certain domestic life insurers to task. The measures are notable, as they underline a renewed emphasis on controlling financial risks, which is of utmost concern for the government.
Following the resumption of bilateral trade treaty talks between China and the United States, a 100-day plan was mooted which promised to improve trade ties going forward. One area of focus in this regard has been the foreign ownership limits that apply to inbound investment in Chinese financial services groups, including those pertaining to the country's insurance industry. This policy shift has given rise to expectations that further foreign investment in the insurance industry will increase significantly.
China's shift towards a knowledge-based digital economy is fuelling growth in the insurance sector, which aligns with the government's plan to double the rate of insurance penetration by 2020. By this date, insurance premium income is expected to have reached Rmb4.5 trillion. If this aim is achieved, China will have usurped the United States to become the world's largest insurance market, which bodes well for overseas insurers looking to participate in the domestic market.
A new wave of 'insurtech' companies (ie, insurers engaging with online distribution models and tech companies foraying into insurance) are recognising the gains to be made by entering into this emerging market. However, these developments by no means spell the end of the larger, more traditional Chinese insurers, which are adapting their longer-term business development strategies in response.

Paul Jones has a new post to his site introducing the "Request" extension he and John Boehr have worked up to make working with HTTP requests in PHP simpler.
You're tired of dealing with the $_GET, $_POST, etc. superglobals in your PHP 7 application. You wish $_FILES was easer to deal with. You'd prefer to wrap them all in an object to pass around to your class methods, so they'd be easier to test. [...] You could maybe adopt a framework, but why do that for your custom project? Just a pair of server-side request and response objects would make your life so much easer. Why can't there be set of internal PHP classes for that?
Well, now there is. You can install the request extension from John Boehr and myself to get ServerRequest and ServerReponse objects as if PHP itself provided them.
He gives an example of using the extension to work with both the request and response (ServerRequest and ServerResponse). This includes cookie values, files handling, content length and much more. There's code examples showing it in use and a link to the repository for the extension where you can find out more.

"When an Apple programmer's project got canceled, he didn't despair. He just kept sneaking into the office until the program was finished.
Ron Avitzur knew his project was doomed. By the time his bosses cut the cord in August 1993, his team was actually relieved. The graphing calculator program they'd been working on for new mobile devices had finally been shelved, and they could all move on.
Most of his fellow programmers were reassigned to other projects within Apple. The company offered Avitzur a job, too, but it didn't interest him. Avitzur, then 27, had been freelancing at tech companies since he was a student at Stanford—to him, the work wasn't worth it if it wasn't interesting. And what interested him was finishing the graphing calculator program that had just been canceled. But his ambitions were greater than that—Avitzur wanted to make the graphing calculator work on the new PowerPC computer that Apple planned to ship in early 1994.
The young programmer knew the project had merit. Everyone he mentioned it to exclaimed, "I wish I'd had that in school!" If he could just get the program preinstalled on the new computer, teachers across the country could use the tool as an animated blackboard, providing visuals for abstract concepts. The program could simultaneously showcase the speed of the new machine and revolutionize math class. All he needed was access to Apple's machines and some time."

Here's the video of Ed Sheeran on the Today Show. See the Grammy-winning British singer-songwriter's live summer concert performance at The Plaza at Rockefeller Center in New York City, and the interview in Stidio 1A conducted by Matt Lauer, part of the Citi Concert Series. The replay and more details are below.
Ed Sheeran performed a before an estimated audience of 12,000 some of whom had camped out overnight. He performed his two smash hit singles — his Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit 'Shape of You' as well as the Billboard Top 10 hit. Castle on the Hill' — from his new album, "÷," (Divide), which was released in March 3rd to universal critical acclaim and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
He was also interviewed in Studio 1A by Matt Lauer and discussed a range of topics including his decision to quit Twitter due to backlash and trolls. He said "They make such a big deal of this. I got asked in an interview if I read negative things, and I was like, 'Well, I don't even go on Twitter anymore.'
He went on to say, "It's not like I quit it. I still post on Instagram and it goes to Twitter."
Reflecting upon the negativity on Twitter, he said, "I'm just not going to wake up and read something and be like, 'Oh, well that's ruined my day.'"
Elaborating, he added, "There's so much positivity out there. I'm just saying as a human being, we always read the one negative one and ignore the others. And I don't want to do that. It's just foolish to do when there's so much love out there in the world to look at the negative stuff. I'm just choosing not to read it."
He's currently on the North American leg of his world tour in support of the album. Earlier this year he announced the tour live during his appearance on the Today Show.

Doug Engelbart died of kidney failure with 88 years in Silicon Valley. The pioneer had developed the device is already in the 60s.

The inventor of the computer mouse, Douglas Engelbart, is dead The IT pioneer has died on Tuesday evening at the age of 88 years in the U.S. state of California, such as Douglas Engelbart Institute announced. The cause of death was the New York Times according to kidney failure. Engelbart died at his home in Atherton in Palo Alto in the heart of Silicon Valley.
Engelbart's greatest achievement was the invention of the computer mouse, in whose development he worked in the 60s and he patented in 1970. At that time, the pointing device made of wood and had two metal wheels. The idea of ??controlling a computer with a tool in his hand, was ahead of its time. In 1984 a mouse with a commercially available computer was delivered, the Macintosh from Apple.
Engelbart in 1968 stunned a computer conference in San Francisco with the first public demonstration of a video conference in which he showed his mouse. "Doug was a pioneer of computer network technology, as it was not popular to deal with it," praised Engelbart in 1997, the then head of Sun Microsystems, Scott McNealy,
Engelbart was born on 30 Born in January 1925 in Portland / Oregon. He first worked for the NASA predecessor NACA, but then studied at the University of California to pursue his dream that computers can change the world. At the Stanford Research Institute, he worked on the precursors of those techniques that are the basis of today's computer age. Engelbart's research projects have created the foundation for the Internet, e-mail and video-conferencing.
Engelbart gave a 21 patents in his career. In 2000, then-President Bill Clinton honored him with the National Medal of Technology, the highest U.S. award in this field.

Austin Pets Alive! seeking donations for kitten burned in brush fire
Austin Pets Alive! received four kittens that were accidentally burned during a controlled brush fire. Three of the kittens suffered minor injuries but one kitten is fighting for its life. The nonprofit organization is asking the public for donations to help ensure the fourth kitten receives the necessary treatments.
According to APA!, a controlled brush fire was taken place in a field where a nest of kittens was hidden. When the kittens were discovered they were rescued as quickly as possible and taken to the nearest shelter.
The shelter then turned to the Austin Pets Alive! clinic for emergency help.
Staff at Austin Pets Alive! have named the seal point Siamese kitten who was badly damaged Lightning. She is currently being treated with antibiotics, pain medications, topical cream, eye drops and love. The staff is estimating treatments for Lightning's injuries to run as high as a thousand dollars.

April 24, 1897
My dear Jinnie,
Many thanks for your dear letter. I have been very busy these last few days. I am sorry to hear that you are not well again. I hope that it was not my fault.
I am glad you liked the rabbits; they are the first of this year. Two of them were half grown.
We come to London on the 5th.
Our Cook and all the kitchen maids are leaving. She gave her notice in and they followed suit. The Major has been at me about it, but I am very awful what I say; do you blame me? He made out they would have given her more money if she has asked, but I said nothing about that to her.
Fondest love, from your own loving Bob.
Am glad you enjoyed the Theatre.

Have you ever noticed how predictable the political slant is of most blogs? I'm as guilty as the rest. You know if you read my blog, you're likely to get a liberal perspective. You might also notice if you read the comments posted to my blog that you'll get the conservative reaction.
I have decided to mix things up a bit and I have invited one of my most frequent "commenters", Ecclesiastes, to join The Rutherford Lawson Blog as guest contributor. Henceforth, you can look forward to contributions from him that no doubt run 180 degrees counter to my own opinions. But that is the whole point.
Rather than provide detailed biographies, I think he and I both prefer to reveal ourselves through our posts. You can fill in the blanks from there (and I've been amused at some of the blanks that have been mistakenly filled in by some readers already).
I hope you enjoy the variety of opinion you will find here and I urge you to jump into the fray with your own views!

Super Junior′s Eunhyuk Talks about Photo Scandal with IU on ′Come to Play′
Super Junior′s Eunhyuk still seems to be suffering from the recent incident involving him and IU, but he′s decided to be funny about it.
On the December 3 broadcast of MBC′s Come to Play, Eunhyuk joined the crew of the show as a regular member and drew laughter by referring to his photo scandal with IU.
When asked by Yoo Jae Suk on how he feels about his new role in Come to Play, Eunhyuk said, "I had to join at such a trying time…."
Kim Won Hee asked, "And what time would that be?" to which Yoo Jae Suk scolded her, saying, "You′re so mischievous."
The captions also seemed to tease Eunhyuk, reading, ′Eunhyuk′s tagged by so many stories′.
Eunhyuk continued to refer to the incident in the ′Teary Battle′ section. Eunhyuk battled ZE:A′s Kwang Hee in the section, in which they had to spill their concerns and see who had it worse.
In the beginning Eunhyuk kept being pushed back by Kwang Hee, as he kept making big statements about his recent concerns. Eunhyuk, however, made a big comeback with just one sentence: "It′s so hard for me these days."
Kwang Hee surrendered to this sentence, saying, "You can cry now."
This isn′t the first time Eunhyuk has mentioned the incident on TV. He also touched on the subject in a recent episode of KBS2′s Hello.

"Erasing horror and disgust
Rewinding the sorrow and the rust
Before our suffering's suffering
Hadn't we suffered enough?"
Today I read an article about this incredible indie rock band called The Antlers… well, it was more of an interview. It's not anything recent but it's about their latest album, Familiars (which was released on my birthday 2 years ago. It was basically meant to be). Ever since I discovered their music, they've pretty much been on a constant loop on my iPod; the kind of music I can never skip over when it comes up on my shuffle. Just beautiful. The interviewer asked questions about the process of writing lyrics and composing music, and about the emotional aspect of their songs too. Because, trust me, emotional is a very good adjective to describe this music. I'm writing this post because I thought the band's front-man Peter Silberman had some pretty interesting things to say:
You know, I think a lot of people are afraid of heavy subject matter and they don't look to music to kind of confront really dark shit. But there are a lot of people who do use music for that. They need music to speak to the things that they are afraid of or are too overwhelmed to know how to process. I enjoy writing that stuff. It has been a good mental exercise for me, helps me figure out a lot of stuff in my life and it's definitely put me in a vulnerable position but it's also an exciting one. Especially when you find that people really relate to that sort of stuff, and it ends up having a kind of reciprocal effect: Where we might make some music and someone might feel at ease by the fact that someone else is experiencing something as difficult as they are. And on the flip side I feel comforted by the fact that someone out there that I don't even know relates to this weird thing that I'm thinking about. So I don't know, that's been the most rewarding part of the whole experience.
You come to define yourself by your past, and then you realize that that might actually be responsible for a lot of things that make you unhappy. It's a way to make yourself unstuck and free yourself from that kind of circular way of thinking. The thing is, I think when you do that, when you stop identifying yourself with your past, it becomes very unclear how to define yourself.
I think that can be a scary place for a lot of people, and at times it's definitely very scary for me too. But I think it's also a really good place to start. And part of the takeaway from this record is you can kind of rid yourself of your past and you can actually begin to redefine yourself, or, at least, start form a place where you don't have this super-established identity or really fixated notion of who you are. Then you can be freer, more liberated, and your expectations of yourself change. You realize that self-imposed limitations, they don't necessarily have to be there.
If you haven't heard of these guys before, do yourself a favour and listen to their stuff, especially this album because it's mesmerising.
P.S: here's the full interview if any of you guys would like to read it: http://www.salon.com/2014/06/17/the_antlers_open_up_about_their_new_record_familiars_and_why_making_personal_music_is_so_scary/

"Love Him as a miser loves money, as an ardent man loves his sweetheart, as a drowning person loves breath. When you yearn for God with intensity, He will come to you."—Paramahansa Yogananda
"Whenever you sit in meditation, again and again call to the Lord with utmost yearning: 'My God, my God, let me feel your love.' Go on repeating this until your mind becomes aflame with God, God, God!"—Daya Mata
Guruji told Ma, "Be drunk with the love of God night and day, and give that love to all." [Daya] Ma is continuously drunk with the love of God, she is in continuous inward absorption of that love, her stature is that love. Awareness of that absorption of Her love brings us blessings.
When I went to see Ma I asked her the first question – how to cultivate love of God…I wanted the answer from Her own lips, from Her own God intoxicated stature…As she spoke my heart was filled with that love. Tears were flowing down, my body was shaking, I was totally lost in Ma's conversation. She said, "We must have a deep desire for God, a deep longing in our heart." We can talk to Divine Mother (mother is closer than the father). The little child receives tremendous care from Her.
I was reading a cartoon a few days back in which some children were discussing what they would become when they grew up. Each child was saying, "I will become this or that when I grow up and I will do this or that. One little child said, "When I grow up I will be a police officer and I will catch all the thieves and put them in the jail." The other children asked him, "Won't you be frightened, as the thieves are dangerous as they carry guns and weapons with them?" The little boy at once replied, "No, my mother will be with me."
Divine Mother is always with us and yet we get afraid. Tell Divine Mother, you want to love Her…Divine Mother is totally nonjudgmental…Tell Divine Mother, I want to love God. Try to remember when did you really want to love God – some months, some weeks, some days ago you remember how you loved God…You say I want to love God but Maya interferes …So say that I want to have the desire to love God. As we start talking to God, the liking for the love of God, we realize it has always been there. It has never gone away.
Sr. Gyanmata has said,
"Lord it is my chief complaint,
That my love is weak and faint,
Yet I love Thee, and adore,
O for grace to love Thee more!"
My love for you is weak and faint and not strong, continuous, overpowering as I want to have. Yet I want to love and adore you.
Ma said to me again and again during the meeting, "Cry for God." The last time she had told me, "Cry for God, and let the tears flow if necessary." This time she did not have to say that because the tears were already flowing. The tears can be a sign of emotional instability. The only right type of crying, the only right type of suffering, and the only right type of sorrow is the sweet sorrow of separation from God. Master Mahasaya said, we can always have the sweet sorrow of separation from God, even when we do not feel the love for God…When you don't feel like spending your time with anything other than with Divine Mother, there is that sweet sorrow, that pain, suffering, the intense desire, wanting to have the desire to love God…

~ ITEM: Recent news-links– Delic Dissed, Muslims Pissed; plus Catfur: "Canadian Islamic Congress' "People's Man" speech cancelled at Department of National Defence"; and JihadWatch: "Canada: "Moderate" Muslims outraged by disinviting of Islamic supremacist imam"; actual moderates: MCC welcomes Minster Mackay's decision to bar CIC Imam…; also Wahida Valiante Of The Canadian Islamic Congress Says Muslims Are the New Jews (And Jews are Sorta Like the New Nazis)…
Although there are many kind and reasonable non-conservative folks out there, the horde of name-calling clevers over at Dr. Dawg's Blog [a.k.a. John Baglow] inspired me to respond in the comments to his "In which Islamophobia becomes official government policy."
Binks, "A Hater"
P.S. Yes, I know it's generally a bad idea to feed the trolls. Especially on troll-sites.
Binks, WebElf
Dear Dawg-Bloggers & Co.:
Please put me on your hate-list, and call me names, too. I confess to the following public and deliberate thought-crimes:
.. and in the last entry, even dare to ask Dr. Dawg to answer a hard question. Remember: points will be deducted for swearsies, name-calling, or hyperbole.
IMHO, distinguishing between Delic & the CIC is a red herring. Nobody forced him to head things up, and so presumably he stands behind their stated positions. If not (and if he's really the super-nice guy portrayed in one comment below), he should quit the hateful CIC, or publicly disassociate himself from Jew-hating, the proposed OIC global muzzle-law, and the cast of doubtful characters– all approved of by the CIC.
[Not a Jew, Never Been To Israel]
Dear Baglow & Bunch:
It's always sad when folks who loudly defend their "reasonability" refuse to answer the simplest & most obvious questions. If you won't visit the link, then I reproduce the relevant bits here:
"The CIC advocates for the notorious Islamist sponsored anti-free speech UN resolution promoting the "Prohibition of the public defamation of religion" which is a soft-jihad lawfare effort by the Organization of Islamic States [OIC] to make any criticism of Islam illegal worldwide."
"That is, the CIC supports proposed laws to muzzle everybody else everywhere and forever– when it comes to free speech about anything negative having to do with their religion– but Imam Delic & Co. have the brass to go on TV complaining about his infringed free speech due to the cancelled DND event. Interesting, no?
Dear Professor Dr. Dawg: why not stick that in your Hypocrisy Files, and give us some easy boilerplate answer justifying how & why Mr. Delic approves of such an anti-democratic double-standard?"
It can't be stated more plainly than that. If you dismiss the issue because of your contempt for me, that disproves nothing, but rather indicates that some "progressives" may be prejudiced and unreasonable.
P.S. Dear KC– Points deducted for name-calling. Bad form. And "there's" [there is] likes to be seen in public with an apostrophe.
LOL I don't think theres ever been any doubt that "Binks" was a hater.
