Who are you?
My name is LaVae Mathis & I am the creator of LaVae's Faves. I am so excited that you're here!
LaVae's Faves is part of my company Bella Atto LLC. Bella Atto started as a hobby for gifting and has now grown into my very own small business which includes this LaVae's Faves Blog & LaVae's Faves on Poshmark
How did you come up with the name Bella Atto for your business and LaVae's Faves?
We all know Bella is Italian for Beautiful but Atto is unfamiliar to many as it was to me when I started thinking about what to name my original website that started my path. I love Italian design, lust for life, and scenery! And of course, we all love Italian food & wine, right?! Who's with me on that? And, one of my favorite movies of all time is Under the Tuscan Sun! So I opted for Atto attached to Bella for Bella Atto. Atto translated individually is Act or Gesture. Bella Atto together translates as Beautiful Place.
As I became more active in my online endeavors, and discovered Poshmark as a money earning option as well, I found that the name Bella Atto wasn't my best option. I had a section of my original site that was entitled LaVae's Faves. It was the most popular part of my new work and seemed to work very well on Poshmark so I decided to convert my website name to just LaVae's Faves. The feedback has been so sweet and I thank all those that have helped me make that decision…big THANKS!
What inspired you to embark upon creating your own business?
I was an accountant for many years and although I had a great day job as the Controller of an engineering firm & worked with some fantastic people, once my husband & I became empty-nesters (Yep, it's true, our kids are all leading sweet & successful lives as grown-ups now & btw, we're very proud of them!) I desired a new baby of sorts, a creative outlet. I started asking the universe "what I should do"? Then, I was admiring a piece of artwork given to me by a friend that was lost unexpectedly and I thought about how much that gift meant to me, especially now that he's in heaven. You can read about that here -> Gift of Art – The Bella Atto Gift Story
Then I thought about how much I love gifting in general. My mother practiced a religion when I was a child that disbarred Christmas and Birthday giving along with other holiday celebrations. As a child I always felt I was missing out. Not just on getting gifts but giving them as well! Although, I still have friends who practice the same, I did not adopt the same religious beliefs as an adult and in fact adore these celebrations in many ways.
So, there I was, in the midst of thinking about things I missed & desiring to make something I love come to life in what I hope inspires others! It's like I've heard people say in that, sometimes.. what you don't get in life gives you something else. So I started blogging about gifting. But I found during this endeavor that my readers were particularly interested in saving money, particularly on fashion and home goods, while gifting well & shopping for themselves too.
Over time, my initial creative effort grew from just gifting ideas into saving ideas. I also enjoy selling on Poshmark under LaVae's Faves. So…bringing all of these endeavors together, LaVae's Faves was born!
How do you find the great things you share here and at LaVae's Faves?
Many of the posts you'll find here are just about favorite things we do (& share with you) to enjoy and pursue a life well lived. But we are also an affiliate advertiser rather than a store. As an affiliate advertiser, we have access to a wide range of products via our available partnerships with thousands of merchants. We enjoy sharing many great deals and sweet finds via these partnerships that help you Save Well, Give Well, & Live Well too. In return we may earn a small profit when you decide to purchase from our partners and advertisers and we are very grateful and appreciative of your support!
What other interests do you enjoy personally?
My husband and I are both pretty simple people. We enjoy finding ways to make life fun and beautiful (Bella that is), in our own ways, without breaking the bank as they say. We enjoy the same things as most of you: time with family, getting outdoors, good food, movies, light travel, enhancing our home life, trying to stay healthy and active, etc. amid this and that of your typical middle class lifestyle.
We were blessed with 3 children between us and they have all grown up to be the kind of people you're so proud to know even if you weren't related to them. We enjoy time with them when we can to include their families and our sweet, sweet, sweet grandbabies too! We're so blessed!
We are also dog lovers. We had 2 dogs which we affectionately refered to as our four-pawed children Ranger and Tigger. I'll just call them Big & Little here because they were in fact, 'BIG & wittle'. Big was our Lion Hunter – the Rhodesian Ridgeback that was over-sized for his breed weighing as much as me on most days & Little was a Maltese coming in at only 8 pounds or so. They were quite the pair and kept us delightfully busy much of the time when we're at home.
They had both passed away come 2017, but we had added Zuzu Sugars to our pack. She is a delightful Canaan Dog that we adore. And, we also added a rescue we named Biscuit. We think he is a Leonberger mix but he's small for a Leonberger. If you were to blend a Rhodesian Ridgeback with a Maltese, you would probably get something that looks like our sweet Biscuit. So, I think of him as a reincarnated spirit blend or our late Ranger and Tigger. So cute!
More FAQs coming soon & thank you for visiting LaVae's Faves!
Have a Fabulous Day & Happy Lady Bug Hunting! If you've seen Under the Tuscan Sun, you know what that means! 😉
" I enjoy helping you, Save Well, Give Well, & Live Well! "

I finally discovered a way to quickly remove line types that are seemingly un-purgeable. This problem has come up many times while I'm on tech support here at Ideate Inc. I found the solution buried in an Autodesk forum. This method uses the Layer Translator in an unconventional way.
The Issue
You've inserted a drawing into your drawing. After doing this, you realize the file is gigantic due to the extra line types and other objects that were inserted. You then run purge multiple times, yet the line types are still there.
The Solution
- Open the Layer Translator in the file that you are having an issue. The layer translator can be found on the manage tab.
- Under the right hand box, choose the button "Load..." browse to the same file you have open (the file you are purging line types) This is the illogical part, but the Layer translator only brings with it the actual layers and settings that have been set in the manger. The extra line types not being attached to any specific layer are left out.
- Once Layers have loaded select "Map Same" button in the middle of the two upper boxes.
- Once the layers have been mapped they will show as having disappeared from the left hand box and all the layers will appear in the lower box. Select "Translate" button at the bottom.
- On the next pop up select Translate Only.
- After the translation is done, run the purge all command.
- Run the audit
- Purge all again.
- Type in LT to pull up dialog and confirm that all excessive line types have been removed.

Centauro & Topline Handle Project Cargo for the Energy Industry
28th March 2017
Members in Argentina, Centauro are actively handling project shipments of equipment and supplies for the energy industry following the guidelines proposed in the country for the coming years.
During 2016, Centauro handled several projects involving the transport of turbines, parts and machinery for Siemens and GE (General Electric) from various origins. In November 2016, they were again nominated to transport GE parts from Shanghai to Buenos Aires which were shipped in February.
The shipment consisted of 79 pieces (total: 273tns / 2,032m3) which were loaded in Shanghai on board MN Thorco Rio with the arrival scheduled at Buenos Aires Port by mid-April. Various challenges had to be tackled including the extra task of coordinating the delivery of the pieces from GE China to meet the nominated vessel on a precise schedule within working days due to the Chinese New Year celebrations.
Manager of Heavy Lift & Projects at Centauro, Julieta Moroni comments; "Centauro made and arranged the booking and chartering directly with the carrier and nominated PCN members in China, Topline Express Logistics, as agents in Shanghai. Topline provided professional and dedicated support in China taking care of the local coordination with the shipper, loading port and shipping line".
The 12 hours' time difference between Argentina and China added another challenge and both PCN members had to communicate and coordinate at unusual 'out of hours' times. The demanding project has required a high level of service and attention with Centauro and Topline matching expectations and achieving the complete satisfaction of the customer.
Centauro Argentina has over 30 years of experience providing logistics and transport services in Argentina, gaining an important knowledge of the local market with an experienced team of professionals. Many important local and international companies rely on Centauro Argentina to handle their projects.
Topline are a well-established logistics provider in China offering the full spectrum of project cargo services. The 'hands-on' team at Topline are ready to assist with any project.

Kinesis UK
From their earliest products, the over-riding goal Kinesis UK has always been to create bikes, bike frames, wheels and components that excel in UK riding conditions.
Kinesis was the very first brand that we stocked when Epic Cycles opened over a decade ago, as we knew from the start that any frame or component with the Kinesis UK badge on it meant that it must be well made and dependable all year round, perform at a level beyond its price point and help people have fun while riding, whatever the conditions or terrain.
Kinesis launched their brand believing that UK riders would appreciate products that are carefully designed to make UK riding better and are affordable – and over the years many thousands of Kinesis customers have agreed!
In what's rapidly getting close to 20 years, Kinesis UK have built up a fantastic amount of in-house experience, talent and depth in their team. Their knowledge and expertise at selecting the best materials, the right components, together with design, construction, engineering and manufacturing partners that work closely with them to build unique and distinctive products, is second to none in the UK.
Whilst riders around the world are increasingly looking to buy Kinesis UK products, their focus remains the same today as it did at the beginning: to develop great products for the UK that are fun to ride and easy to own and live with all year round.
All Kinesis bikes come to us as framesets, ready to build to meet your specific needs and budget – we have unrivalled expertise in helping you to match components with your own unique set of requirements. And as UK market-leading specialists in custom built bikes we offer the very highest levels of service and expertise, whether visiting in person or purchasing remotely.
One of the most talked about bikes of the year, the brand new aluminium Tripster AT takes Kinesis UK's years of experience gained with the legendary titanium Tripster ATR and their range of championship winning cyclocross bikes, to create a bike capable of almost all terrains and adventures at an affordable price point.
The Kinesis G2 is nimble, fast handling and plenty tough enough for the rough and tumble of UK gravel riding, but is also great for fast riding over paved roads. The G2 is a classic do-it-all bike – more capable than a road bike; more comfortable than a 'cross bike; more versatile than an out and out adventure bike.
'ATR' stands for Adventure. Tour. Race. But it could just as easily stand for "All Terrain" . Because that's what the beautiful new Tripster ATR Version 3 excels at – taking on pretty much any kind of terrain you can throw at it, all while retaining a refined ride feel you just don't get with lesser frame materials.
The new RTD is the ultimate transcontinental racing bike – designed to be ridden fast across cities, counties or continents, the premium Scandium framed RTD lives up to its name "Race The Distance". Be that to work, on the Sunday club run, an Audax or even The Transcontinental Race itself!
The new Kinesis UK GTD is the natural evolution of the multi award winning GF-Ti frameset – the ultimate super-refined Gran Fondo bike. The Kinesis GTD is not just a Sunday best bike, it is the perfect Audax or fast paced touring bike over the roughest of roads.
The R1 is the latest complete bike from Kinesis UK, following on the success of the G2 complete gravel bike and heavily influenced by the award winning Kinesis RTD and 4S road frames. The R1 is a 1x road bike aimed riders of all abilities and experiences.
The Kinesis Racelight 4S Disc is the descendent of the market leading all-round fast training bike that was the Racelight TK. Using Kinesium, the same proprietary alloy that gave the TK such an engaging and refined ride, the 4S has been significantly revised to deliver true 4-Season performance and capability.
If there is one frameset that can take credit for establishing the reputation of Kinesis UK it's the Racelight T. Originally designed to make winter training fun, the Racelight T has always delivered a hugely responsive and engaging ride, with bags of UK-specific practicality.

At the beginning of the July 15 meeting of the Belleville Downtown Development Authority, City Manager Diana Kollmeyer announced how the city is using federal funds, dispersed by Wayne County, to help the DDA pay for the kayak launch.
The launch and docks added in Horizon Park is pretty much completed and is expected to be dedicated on Aug. 20 during the Bridge Walk/Taste of Belleville festivities.
City Manager Kollmeyer read the following prepared statement:
For many years the City has searched for projects that could be funded by Wayne County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.
Most of our funding through this program must be used for bricks and mortar type projects with a minimum amount used to help fund our Senior/Disabled Transportation program and Administration each year.
It has become increasingly more difficult to find viable projects for use of these funds due to the fact that the criteria is very stringent.
In the 2014 fiscal year we have been able to fund a new Playscape for Village Park. This Playscape will be ADA accessible. Village Park, of course, is in the DDA District and this project will be completed in early August. We hope future year's funds will allow us to add pieces to the Playscape and continue developing our most under-utilized park in the City.
As we began to think about a project that could be approved by Wayne County CDBG for 2015, immediately the canoe/kayak launch came to the front. It meets the criteria for ADA accessibility; it is within the funding level that we have and the City thought it would be an excellent way for the City to acknowledge our continued commitment to the DDA.
With that said, I am announcing to you that the purchase of the canoe/kayak launch has been approved by Wayne County CDBG in the amount of $38,186.15.
The City has and will continue to assist in seeking funds that can be used for future projects within the DDA District AND thank you for your continued service.
The canoe/kayak launch and dockwork at Horizon Park has a $120,700 grant from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and about $51,700 was expected to be paid by the DDA. Blue Ribbon submitted the low bid for construction work at $194,071.50 and Spicer Engineers did the engineering work.
At the beginning of the July 15 meeting of the Belleville Downtown Development Authority, City Manager Diana Kollmeyer announced how the city is using federal funds, dispersed by Wayne County, to help the DDA pay for the kayak launch.

by Doug Lawrence
Reading this, try to keep in mind that the Tribe of Judah (a.k.a. "The Jews") comes from the stock of Abraham – the Father of Our Faith – and not the other way around!
The segment of the Vatican II document Nostre Aetate specifically dealing with the relationship of the Catholic Church to the Jews:
4. As the sacred synod searches into the mystery of the Church, it remembers the bond that spiritually ties the people of the New Covenant to Abraham's stock.
Thus the Church of Christ acknowledges that, according to God's saving design, the beginnings of her faith and her election are found already among the Patriarchs, Moses and the prophets. She professes that all who believe in Christ-Abraham's sons according to faith (6)-are included in the same Patriarch's call, and likewise that the salvation of the Church is mysteriously foreshadowed by the chosen people's exodus from the land of bondage. The Church, therefore, cannot forget that she received the revelation of the Old Testament through the people with whom God in His inexpressible mercy concluded the Ancient Covenant. Nor can she forget that she draws sustenance from the root of that well-cultivated olive tree onto which have been grafted the wild shoots, the Gentiles.(7) Indeed, the Church believes that by His cross Christ, Our Peace, reconciled Jews and Gentiles. making both one in Himself.(8)
The Church keeps ever in mind the words of the Apostle about his kinsmen: "theirs is the sonship and the glory and the covenants and the law and the worship and the promises; theirs are the fathers and from them is the Christ according to the flesh" (Rom. 9:4-5)*, the Son of the Virgin Mary. She also recalls that the Apostles, the Church's main-stay and pillars, as well as most of the early disciples who proclaimed Christ's Gospel to the world, sprang from the Jewish people. *(This passage was badly misinterpreted in the original 1994 edition of the Catechism of the Catholic Church and was, after some controversy, later corrected by the U.S. Catholic bishops, in a secret ballot.)
As Holy Scripture testifies, Jerusalem did not recognize the time of her visitation,(9) nor did the Jews in large number, accept the Gospel; indeed not a few opposed its spreading.(10) Nevertheless, God holds the Jews most dear for the sake of their Fathers; He does not repent of the gifts He makes or of the calls He issues-such is the witness of the Apostle.(11) In company with the Prophets and the same Apostle, the Church awaits that day, known to God alone, on which all peoples will address the Lord in a single voice and "serve him shoulder to shoulder" (Soph. 3:9).(12)
Since the spiritual patrimony common to Christians and Jews is thus so great, this sacred synod wants to foster and recommend that mutual understanding and respect which is the fruit, above all, of biblical and theological studies as well as of fraternal dialogues.
True, the Jewish authorities and those who followed their lead pressed for the death of Christ;(13) still, what happened in His passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against the Jews of today. Although the Church is the new people of God, the Jews should not be presented as rejected or accursed by God, as if this followed from the Holy Scriptures. All should see to it, then, that in catechetical work or in the preaching of the word of God they do not teach anything that does not conform to the truth of the Gospel and the spirit of Christ.
Furthermore, in her rejection of every persecution against any man, the Church, mindful of the patrimony she shares with the Jews and moved not by political reasons but by the Gospel's spiritual love, decries hatred, persecutions, displays of anti-Semitism, directed against Jews at any time and by anyone.
Besides, as the Church has always held and holds now, Christ underwent His passion and death freely, because of the sins of men and out of infinite love, in order that all may reach salvation. It is, therefore, the burden of the Church's preaching to proclaim the cross of Christ as the sign of God's all-embracing love and as the fountain from which every grace flows.
5. We cannot truly call on God, the Father of all, if we refuse to treat in a brotherly way any man, created as he is in the image of God. Man's relation to God the Father and his relation to men his brothers are so linked together that Scripture says: "He who does not love does not know God" (1 John 4:8).
No foundation therefore remains for any theory or practice that leads to discrimination between man and man or people and people, so far as their human dignity and the rights flowing from it are concerned.
The Church reproves, as foreign to the mind of Christ, any discrimination against men or harassment of them because of their race, color, condition of life, or religion. On the contrary, following in the footsteps of the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, this sacred synod ardently implores the Christian faithful to "maintain good fellowship among the nations" (1 Peter 2:12), and, if possible, to live for their part in peace with all men,(14) so that they may truly be sons of the Father who is in heaven.(15)
A Few Scriptural highlights:
The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begat Isaac; and Isaac begat Jacob; and Jacob begat Judas and his brethren… (Matthew 1:1-2)
I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living… (Matthew 22:32)
As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, and to his seed for ever… (Luke 1:55)
Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel; for he hath visited and redeemed his people, And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us in the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began: That we should be saved from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us; To perform the mercy [promised] to our fathers, and to remember his holy covenant; The oath which he sware to our father Abraham… (Luke 1:68-73)
Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw [it], and was glad. Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am… (John 8:53-58)
The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let [him] go… (Acts 3:13)
Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed… (Acts 3:25)
And he gave him the covenant of circumcision: and so [Abraham] begat Isaac, and circumcised him the eighth day; and Isaac [begat] Jacob; and Jacob [begat] the twelve patriarchs… (Acts 7:8)
Men [and] brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, and whosoever among you feareth God, to you is the word of this salvation sent… (Acts 13:26)
What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? For if Abraham were justified by works, he hath [whereof] to glory; but not before God. For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness. Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness… (Romans 4:1-5)
For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, [was] not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith. For if they which are of the law [be] heirs, faith is made void, and the promise made of none effect: Because the law worketh wrath: for where no law is, [there is] no transgression. Therefore [it is] of faith, that [it might be] by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all… (Romans 4:13-16)
I say then, Hath God cast away his people? God forbid. For I also am an Israelite, of the seed of Abraham, [of] the tribe of Benjamin. God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew. Wot ye not what the scripture saith of Elias? how he maketh intercession to God against Israel, saying, Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and digged down thine altars; and I am left alone, and they seek my life. But what saith the answer of God unto him? I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, who have not bowed the knee to [the image of] Baal. Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace… (Romans 11:1-5)
Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness. Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham. And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, [saying], In thee shall all nations be blessed. So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham. For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them. But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, [it is] evident: for, The just shall live by faith. And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them. Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed [is] every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith. Brethren, I speak after the manner of men; Though [it be] but a man's covenant, yet [if it be] confirmed, no man disannulleth, or addeth thereto. Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. And this I say, [that] the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect. For if the inheritance [be] of the law, [it is] no more of promise: but God gave [it] to Abraham by promise. Wherefore then [serveth] the law? It was added because of transgressions, till the seed should come to whom the promise was made; [and it was] ordained by angels in the hand of a mediator. Now a mediator is not [a mediator] of one, but God is one. [Is] the law then against the promises of God? God forbid: for if there had been a law given which could have given life, verily righteousness should have been by the law. But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe. But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster [to bring us] unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster. For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus. And if ye [be] Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise… (Galatians 3:6-29)
Editor's note: Despite all the flowery prose, along with certain modernist errors and omissions contained in the Nostre Aetate document, there exists a world of difference (as well as the practical hope of eternal salvation) between a Jewish person who is merely a naturally born child of God, still steeped in Original Sin, not yet redeemed from eternal slavery to Satan, sin and death – and a faithful, baptized Catholic Christian who is a living Temple of the Holy Spirit, a member of the Church, an adopted child of God, a Citizen of Heaven and co-heir with Jesus Christ to all the gratuitous promises of God.
The purpose of genuine Evangelization is to reach out in love to all the unbaptized, without exception, and to freely offer them God's wonderful gift of salvation and grace, according to the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Not to falsely patronize and mislead them!
The rational logic of Nostre Aetate must also work both ways: Just as what happened at Christ's passion cannot be charged against all the Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor (exclusively) against the Jews of today – neither can the horrors of the Holocaust be charged against all non-Jews, without distinction, then alive, nor against non-Jews (especially Catholics) of today.
The simple fact remains that there is no basis for unjust discrimination against the Jewish people, or against any individual Jewish person. Our Christian faith calls us to love God and to love our neighbor, with very few exceptions.
There is however, a tremendous distinction between the beliefs and practices of various forms of modern Judaism, loosely defined as Jewish Naturalism, and the authentic beliefs and practices of the one, holy, Catholic and apostolic Church of Jesus Christ – differences so great as to be irreconcilable by anyone other than God, himself.
Due largely in part to their continued denial and rejection of Jesus Christ as God, Messiah and Savior and their emphasis instead, on justification under the Law (attempting to keep the Ten Commandments and all the other ordinances and statutes of the old, Mosaic Law) today's Jews have much in common with the Muslims, as Muslim Sharia Law is essentially nothing more than a regional/national variation of the old, Mosaic Law – which never has been capable of saving a soul. For if that were the case, there would have been no need for Jesus Christ, our Holy Redeemer, to take on flesh, live, suffer, die and rise again, as our propitiation for sin, according to the will of God the Father.
Contrary to the novelties of the last fifty years, these very substantial differences in beliefs are not something we Catholics would want to gloss over, condone, or celebrate – although friends may be able to agree to disagree on such matters.
Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, [even] by him doth this man stand here before you whole. This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (Acts 4:10-12)
There's too much interesting information here to even attempt to paraphrase. Read the entire article to get the proper sense of the issue. Otherwise, you may get the wrong impression.
Editor's note: The reason Pope Pius XII seems to have a Jewish target on his back is because it's critical for the Jews to totally repudiate the man – in order to successfully repudiate his views about the State of Israel – which were all Traditionally Catholic and beyond reproach.
Pope Pius XII – based on the historical and doctrinal truth of established Catholic principles – going back over a thousand years – absolutely refused to back the Zionist movement – so his character must be attacked and his entire papacy discredited.
Cardinal Koch has made a career of speaking, while actually saying (and accomplishing) nothing. This is an essential skill for many post-Vatican II Catholic bishops and priests – who have been saying much – but teaching little or nothing worthy of merit – for the last fifty years, or so.
This morning, Governor Sam Brownback signed HB 2253, the Pro-life Protections Act, into law.
HB 2253 codifies abortion informed consent materials authorized by the state health department, and removes all tax streams that pay for abortion and give tax advantages to abortion businesses.
The informed consent section has an added mandate for the state health department to facilitate medical information access and community support for families facing pre-birth and post-birth diagnoses of Down Syndrome and other conditions.
On March 15, a Catholic parish in Novocherkassk was ordered to pay a 450,000-rouble ($14,600 U.S.) fine for allegedly failing fire safety standards.
Fr. Aleksi Polisko, rector of the city's Most Blessed Virgin Mary parish, which has just 50 regular Massgoers, told Agence France-Presse the fine was around 150 times the parish's weekly income, but said the local procurator had threatened to close his church unless it was paid within a month.
The director of Caritas in St. Petersburg, Natalya Pevtsova, told the Interfax news agency that officials had "examined everything … from the state of our toilets to our charity documents," during the raid of her offices.
Russia's million-strong Catholic Church has long complained of discrimination in Russia and protested when a Moscow charity house belonging to Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity was bulldozed in 2011 and a Catholic parish in Pskov was barred from building its church because of "legal technicalities."
Editor's note: I wonder if Putin might be able to help us reign in the outrageous USCCB Catholic Campaign for Human Development, right here in the good old USA?

Jon Bernthal returns as Frank Castle aka 'The Punisher' in this trailer for Marvel's darkest Netflix series yet.
Prepare for your Netflix exclusive Marvel series viewing to take a dark turn with The Punisher.
Jon Bernthal (The Walking Dead) returns as former marine-turned-vigilante Frank Castle, last seen in the second season of Daredevil.
Word on the interweb is that the series will take a far darker and violent tone than anything we've seen before from any of Marvel's Netflix series to date.
Having taken revenge on the murderers of his wife and children, Frank Castle becomes ensnared in a military conspiracy that runs far deeper than the criminal underworld of New York. As 'The Punisher' Castle sets about systematically breaking down his opposition.
Expected later this year, Netflix have yet to announce the actual release date for The Punisher, but my money's on some time in November.
Whenever Frank Castle blasts back on to our screens, it's a safe assumption that all thirteen, hour-long episodes will be made available to stream giving the binge watchers something to look forward to.
Check Netflix for information.
After the murder of his family, Frank Castle becomes a vigilante known as "the Punisher", who aims to fight crime by any means necessary. Having exacted revenge on those responsible for the death of his wife and children, Castle uncovers a conspiracy that runs far deeper than New York's criminal underworld.

See Yourself as Walking Toward
f you do not have what you want (yet), your ability to attain it depends on the way that you view yourself in relation to what you want.
Decide what you want and commit yourself to it. Know that it is going to happen- it is just a matter of time. Every day take another step closer to what you want. It could be a small step like making a phone call, sending an email, or researching something. But every day, take another step.
When you get frustrated with the lack of what you really want, remind yourself that you are walking toward it. You are not trapped in a static situation. You are moving forward. Soon
Someone approaches you. They seem drawn to you. You want both of you to get value from your interaction. As they speak to you, try asking yourself Who, What, and Why:
Who is this person? See them as they are. Let go of your preconceptions of them. Let go of how you need them to be. If you are open and pay attention, people will always tell you who they are.
What are they saying to me? Listen beyond the words. Hear their intent.
Why are they saying this to me? They could have said this to someone else- they picked you. This is discerning who you are "in relation to" them. It is understanding your present connection with them. From this comes what role to take with

Treasury and IRS Issue Proposed Regulations for Contributions to and Distributions from Roth 401(k) and 403(b) Plans
January 26, 2006
On January 25, 2006, the Treasury and the IRS issued the proposed regulations under IRC §§402(g), 402A, 403(b), and 408A relating to designated Roth accounts. The proposed regulations impact employer/plan sponsors, participants and beneficiaries in both 401(k) and 403(b) plans, and trustees, owners and beneficiaries of Roth IRAs.
The proposed regulations under IRC §402A intend to provide comprehensive guidance on the taxation of contributions and distributions to and from Roth 401(k) and 403(b) accounts along with the requisite recordkeeping and reporting requirements for these actions. The proposed regulations also include amendments to the regulations under §402(g) issued in 1991 to reflect the enactment of §402A while also conforming to the regulations the final §401(k) regulations.
Lastly, the proposed regulations add a new §1.408A-10 to the existing regulations under §408A for Roth IRAs (§1.408A-1 through 9) issued in 1999 to reflect the interaction between §§408A and 402A.
Specifically, the proposed regulations provide guidance with regard to:
IRC §402A, added to the Code by §617(a) of the EGTRRA, provides the rules for plans that offer participants the option to contribute to a Roth account starting January 1, 2006.
A "designated Roth contribution" is an after-tax elective deferral by an employee to a 401(k) or 403(b) plan. IRC §402A(b)(2) states that Roth contributions must be maintained by the plan in a separate account ("a designated Roth account").
IRC §402(a) provides that distributions from a qualified plan are taxable under section 72 to the recipient in the taxable year received. IRC §402A(d)(1) provides that qualified distributions from a designated Roth account are tax-free. IRC §72 provides the rules for taxation of nonqualified distributions from Roth accounts.
IRC §402(c) provides the rules for certain distributions from qualified plans that may be rolled over without any tax consequences into another eligible retirement plan. IRC §402(c)(2) provides that if some or all of the distribution from a qualified plan (either 401(k) or 403(b)) is not taxable even if it's not rolled over, then that portion of the distribution can be rolled over only into an IRA, or as a direct rollover to another qualified plan which separately accounts for that specific rollover amount.
IRC §402(c)(8) and 402A(c)(3) specify that distributions from Roth accounts can be rolled over only to another Roth account or a Roth IRA. For distributions from Roth IRAs, IRC §408A(d)(4) provides special ordering rules for the tax-free return of the principal amount of the contribution (the "basis") prior to the distribution of taxable interest.
EGTRRA §617(d) amended §6051(a)(8) to require the reporting of Roth 401(k)/403(b) contributions on Form W-2, and added a new subsection (f) to section 6047 to require plan administrators of 401(k) or 403(b) plans to make such returns and reports regarding Roth contributions to the Secretary of the Treasury and such other persons the Secretary may prescribe.
The final regulations for 401(k) plans were issued on December 29, 2004 which reserved §1.401(k)-1(f) for special rules for Roth contributions. Proposed regulations to fill in that paragraph and provide additional rules applicable to Roth contributions were issued On March 2, 2005. The final regulations which adopted the proposed regulations, with certain modifications, were issued on January 3, 2006. However, the final 401(k) regulations relative to Roth contributions did not address the taxability of distributions from Roth accounts or the reporting requirements applicable to contributions or distributions.
Commentary We'll provide a comprehensive analysis of the specific rules outlined above in a subsequent article.
As with the issuance of the final Roth 401(k) regulations on December 30, 2005, it once again appears that these proposed regulations provide no particular surprises relative to the establishment or ongoing record-keeping and compliance requirements for new or existing plans that add the Roth feature. Of course, a lot more work is involved in implementing and administering this option, but then again last I checked, that's what our industry is built for and survives on… change.
Yes, the Roth is not an easy feature to communicate. Yes, you need to be careful that what you provide to plan participants is not construed to be tax advice. However, time will prove that "No," is not the appropriate answer for most employer/plan sponsors (especially small business employers) to the question of whether the employer should adopt this feature.
It's not so long ago that the industry was spooked by the recordkeeping requirements to implement "safe harbor." Today, safe harbor plans are common-place, so too, in my humble opinion, is the fate of Roth accounts. The Roth option is the best reason to come along for quite some time that should permit the industry to increase fees for services. Why… because the Roth provides significant retirement and estate planning opportunities for participants of all ages and income levels. I can personally attest to the fact that the use of the proper tools and the time commitment to educate your clients relative to the benefits of the Roth is a mutually beneficial experience.

By Tetsushi Kajimoto
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese business confidence plunged to decade lows in March as the spreading coronavirus outbreak stoked fears of a global recession and sent stock markets tumbling, the Reuters Tankan survey showed on Tuesday.
The monthly poll suggested that the Bank of Japan's tankan quarterly survey due April 1 will show a sharp deterioration in business sentiment both at manufacturers and non-manufacturers.
The global spread of the virus has hammered world trade, supply chains and tourism, dealing a heavy blow to Japan's fragile economy, which is teetering on the edge of a recession.
The souring business mood could derail capital spending, one of the few bright spots in the Japanese economy. That will heap pressure on the government and the central bank to deploy more stimulus measures.
The BOJ eased monetary policy on Monday by pledging to buy riskier assets such as exchange-traded funds (ETF) at double the current pace, joining global central banks in combating the widening economic fallout from the epidemic.
All manufacturers across industries were pessimistic about business conditions, according to the Reuters poll of 501 large- and mid-sized nonfinancial companies, of which 242 firms responded on condition of anonymity.
Among service sector firms, no firms except those in real estate/construction and information/communications were optimistic.
Most of the companies expressed fears of the virus' impact on their business, on top of already weak consumer spending due to an October sales tax hike and sluggish global demand aggravated by the U.S.-China trade war.
"We cannot see how much impact the virus may have on our business in March. We fear sharp drops in sales," a manager at a chemicals firm wrote in the survey.
A machinery maker manager said: "Just as the U.S.-China trade friction seems to be settled for the time being, the new virus is causing worry about downward revision to our profits."
The sentiment index at manufacturers fell to minus 20 in March from minus 5 in the previous month, while the service-sector gauge dropped 25 points to minus 10, the Reuters Tankan poll showed. A negative figure means pessimists outnumber optimists.
The manufacturers' index hit the lowest since December 2009, the depths of the global financial crisis.
Non-manufacturers' were the most pessimistic since June 2011 in the wake of the Fukushima nuclear disaster.
Manufacturers expected to be even more glum in three months' time, with the index seen falling further to minus-25 in June, while service-sector morale was seen unchanged in June.
The BOJ's December tankan showed big manufacturers' mood hit a near seven-year low in the fourth quarter as the Sino-U.S. trade war curbed external demand and the October national sales tax hike to 10% from 8% dealt a blow to consumer demand.
Japan's economy, the world's third largest, shrank at a 7.1% annualised rate in October-December, and many economists see another contraction in the current period, which would spell a technical recession - or two straight quarters of negative growth.

The Government Shutdown and OWCP benefits
I have been receiving many concerned calls from FECA claimants regarding the status of their OWCP benefits in light of the government shutdown. OWCP is continuing to operate. While district offices are not answering telephones, wage loss payments, medical bills, and many case adjudication actions are all continuing to occur. The Branch of Hearings and Review is not conducting hearings during the shutdown.

Gadhafi Forces Press Two Rebel-Held Cities
AJDABIYA, Libya (AP) - Seventeen people are reported dead as forces loyal to Libya's Moammar Gadhafi continue their push to retake Misrata in the western part of the country. Libyan rebels say government troops who have pushed into the city center pounded them with mortar rounds and rocket-propelled grenades.
NATO's air campaign has reportedly failed to stop the shelling, but a local activist says the rebels were able to take back an area around a central produce market. In eastern Libya, government forces also shelled the eastern edge of Ajdabiya, the front-line rebel town
that's been the scene of fierce fighting in recent weeks. A rebel fighter says no government troops entered the city, but some of their numbers fled north to more securely held rebel territory.

Drain Pipe Cleaner
The team of drain pipe cleaners at Active Plumbing have been clearing drain pipes of roots and debris and replacing collapsed and broken pipes for so many years. Our professional plumbers can provide a fast solution to your drainage issues with the use of the latest high-tech plumbing tools, coupled with years of experience in cleaning clogged up drains. We make sure that you'll get impressed with our friendly go-getter attitude. To ensure leaving you with a big smile on your face, we clean up the mess afterwards.
How Professional Drain Pipe Cleaner Works
We can use high-pressure water to dislodge piping blockages, including tree roots. The process, known as hydro jetting, also flushes out silt, sand, and concrete debris. Rotary cable machines can also be used. If needed we can organise a specialist to locate the origin of the blockage, possibly using our latest digital equipment camera. For your convenience, we can record the entire inspection in high definition to a USB flash drive. If the problem is a faulty pipe, we identify the exact location of the problem, including and its depth, using a radio frequency locator.
If we found that tree roots re grow aggressively after drain pipe cleaning, we will treat the pipes with a foam that kills the roots while leaving the shrub or tree unharmed. Your drain pipe should be free from roots for months after this process providing your pipes are not damaged. If the blockage is more severe or the pipe has been severely damaged, we can organise to have a specialist locate the area that requires repair using the locator. We'll dig up and correct the problem with minimal mess.
Possible Results Of Ignoring Clog Drain Pipe
Drain systems are designed to take the waste and water away from your home and processed it elsewhere before being released back into the environment. Drain clogs should never be neglected or put off the next day as it can cause a backup of sewage into your home, yard, driveway, or in the case of stormwater, can create flooding.
Also, ignoring clogs in your drain pipe can result in a costly cleanup, decrease the pipe life, and increase the size of cracks and chips. Without proper care of your drain pipes, you may need to spend thousands of dollars for pipe replacement in the future.

Roy Halladay struggles, Chase Utley, Freddy Galvis in the outfield
Halladay continues to struggle
Yes, I know Roy Halladay lost 10 pounds this week and is not at full strength. But the reality is practically setting in with everyone that Halladay's better days are clearly behind him.
Halladay threw 81 pitches against a minor league Blue Jays team Saturday morning. The Toronto hitters swung and missed on three of them. He hit 90 miles per hour just once on the radar gun.
Judging by his remarks after the game, you would have thought Halladay just threw a three-hit gem that helped the Phillies maintain their mid-season lead in the NL East race.
Halladay wants to make one more Spring Training start where he throws 100 pitches. Will that alone get him ready for Opening Day? I guess it depends on the Phillies' definition of ready.
Your guess is as good as mine, but the Phillies are in quite a bit of trouble if Halladay can't even be a shell of his old self.
Chase Utley goes oppo-boppo twice!
As great as Chase Utley was during the mid-2000's, his power was almost completely relegated to right field.
Which makes it pretty impressive that he nailed two opposite field home runs Saturday afternoon against Orioles' starter Wei-Yin Chen. Utley raised his Spring Training average to .255 and now has three home runs in the exhibition season.
No, Chen isn't exactly Cole Hamels, but it's encouraging that Utley seems to be finishing strong after a sluggish start.
Freddy Galvis mans right field
One interesting sight on Saturday was Freddy Galvis playing right field. Infielder Kevin Frandsen is having a great spring, but the biggest surprise in the infield has been Yuniesky Betancourt. Betancourt is having a great spring, hitting .447 with 21 hits and 14 runs batted in while striking out just twice.
Unfortunately, the Phillies released Betancourt Sunday. Personally, they would have been wise to hold on to him. Betancourt is a veteran who can come off the bench and could be traded later on in the year if the Phillies fall from contention. While Galvis has options left, the Phillies had an option to purchase his contract (worth $1.4 million). Yes, he's 31 years of age, but at least he's younger than anyone in the Phils' starting infield..........

Kidney Function Restoration Program
Recombinant human erythropoietin (epoetin) therapy revolutionized the treatment of anemia in patients on dialysis with CKD not receiving dialysis (44, 45). More recently, a longer-acting darbepoetin alfa erythro-poiesis stimulating agent (ESA) has become available (46-49), and soon, newer form with varying mechanisms of action will likely become available for clinical use (46, 50). The risks and benefits of epoetin and darbepoetin therapy in the general population of patients with CKD have been well recognized and will not be addressed here further. Unfortunately, the specific risks and benefits, as well costs, of such treatment in the elderly have not been well characterized.
Among normal (i.e., no CKD) elderly subjects, responsiveness to exogenous epoetin does not appear to be impaired compared to younger subjects
(32, 51). Limited data suggest that epoetin responsiveness in older dialysis patients is similar to younger patients (52, 53). Despite similar monthly epoetin doses, the mean monthly Hgb level among dialysis patients 75 years and older tend to be lower than younger patients, suggesting that this population group are not substantially hyporesponsive to epoetin therapy (10).
Among elderly hemodialysis patients, the impact of epoetin therapy on QOL has been mixed. While one small study questioned the benefit (54), a larger, controlled trial found that the improvements in QOL scores after 6 month of epoetin treatment were of similar magnitude in hemodialysis patients 60 years of age and older compared to those less than 60 years, although absolute QOL scores were lower both before and after treatment in the older subjects (55).
Given the limited data available, elderly patients with CKD, whether on dialysis or not, should probably be evaluated and treated for their anemia as generally recommended for patients with CKD regardless of age (5). The most recent clinical practice guidelines and recommendations for the National Kidney Foundation KDOQI for Anemia in CKD recommend that Hgb testing be carried out at least annually in all patients with CKD, regardless of stage or cause, and that a diagnosis of anemia should be made and evaluation should be undertaken when the Hgb level is less than 13.5 g/dL in adult males and 12.0 g/dL in adult females. This evaluation should include a complete blood count (CBC), red blood cell indices (mean corpuscular hemoglobin [MCH], mean corpuscular volume [MCV], mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration [MCHC]), white blood cell count, and differential and platelet count, absolute reticulocyte count, serum ferritin to assess iron stores, and serum TSAT or content of Hb in reticulo-cytes (CHr) to assess adequacy of iron for erythropoiesis.
Among patients treated with ESA therapy and/or iron, the recommended lower limit of Hgb in patients with CKD is 11.0 g/dL. In the opinion of the KDOQI Anemia Work Group, there was insufficient evidence to recommend routinely maintaining Hgb levels at 13.0 g/dL or greater in ESA-treated patients. Since adequate iron stores are essential for optimal erythropoiesis, with or without ESA therapy, the Anemia Work Group recommended that sufficient iron should be administered to generally maintain the serum ferritin concentration greater than 200 ng/mL in hemodialysis patients and greater than 100 ng/mL in CKD patients not on dialysis and those on peritoneal dialysis, with a TSAT greater than 20% in all patients. In addition, in the opinion of the Work Group, there was insufficient evidence to recommend routine administration of IV iron if serum ferritin level is greater than 500 ng/mL. When ferritin level is greater than 500 ng/mL, decisions regarding IV iron administration need to consider ESA responsiveness, Hgb levels over time, the TSAT level, and the patient's clinical status.
Recent studies have reinforced the recommendation to maintain Hgb levels below 13 g/dL, and have raised concern that even this level of anemia correction may be excessive in patients with CKD. A randomized, controlled trial in hemodialysis patients, which compared a target hematocrit level of 30% versus 42%, was stopped early when it became apparent that there was no benefit in patients assigned to the higher hematocrit target (56). The risk of the primary composite outcome of first nonfatal myocardial infarction or death was 30% higher in the normal hematocrit group than the low hemat-ocrit group, although this was not statistically significantly different when the study was stopped. The incidence of thrombosis of vascular access sites was higher in the normal hematocrit group than in the low hematocrit. There were no differences in the rates of occurrence for all-cause hospitalization for all causes, nonfatal myocardial infarction, angina pectoris requiring hospi-talization, congestive heart failure requiring hospitalization, coronary-artery bypass grafting, or percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty.
More recently, a large randomized, controlled trial in patients with CKD not on dialysis was also terminated early, with a significantly higher rate of composite events (death, MI, hospitalization for congestive heart failure without renal replacement therapy, and stroke) among subjects randomized to a target Hgb level of 13.0-13.5 g/dL compared to those randomized to a target Hgb level of 10.5-11.0 g/dL (a later protocol amendment changed the targets to 13.5 g/dL and 11.3 g/dL, respectively) (57). For unclear reasons, a mean Hgb level of only 12.6 g/dL was achieved in the higher target group. The risk for the single outcome events of death and CHF hospital-ization approached being statistically significantly greater (p = 0.07) in the higher Hgb group. Other studies have also shown either no benefit or a significant trend towards increased risk for some outcomes when Hgb levels are normalized with ESA therapy in CKD patients (58-60). Thus, until further analysis and information becomes available, most ESA-treated patients with CKD should have their Hgb levels maintained above 11.0 g/dL but below 13.0 g/dL, and perhaps even lower. A recent FDA alert, issued after two recently published CKD studies (57, 58), advised adherence to prescribing information for currently available ESAs recommending that the target hemoglobin be maintained in the range of 10-12 g/dL (http://www.fda.gov/cder/drug/InfoSheets/HCP/RHE_HCP.htm).

Criminal gangs are using empty homes to take out loans and mortgages, the National Fraud Intelligence Bureau (NFIB) is warning.
Evidence has been unconvered to suggest criminals are choosing empty homes by scouring obituaries and the Land Registry.
Once an empty property is identified, the scammers organise fake documentation in order to apply for finance linked to the address.
The fraudsters will register on the electoral roll and with utility providers in order to build up the required proof to pass through all the legal hurdles.
This criminal group works until it has met all the criteria needed to get funds released, while the homeowner is none the wiser and left saddled with the debt against the property.
Are you at risk?
The NFIB says the main homeowners at risk include:
- Owners that are absent from their property
- Buy-to-let landlords who may have empty properties
- Owners that are living abroad with an empty property in the UK
- Elderly people that don't live in their properties for reasons such as long term hospital or residential care
[Read more: Microsoft phishing scam: don't be fooled by fake 'alert' email]
How to protect yourself
There are certain things you can do to protect yourself from this sort of devious fraud.
Make sure your property is registered with the Land Registry. Doing this will mean you will be compensated for financial loss if you do fall victim to mortgage fraud.
It's also important to keep your contact information up to date once registered so you can be easily contacted if something suspicious is spotted.
It's also a good idea to sign up for Land Registry's free Property Alert service. If someone tries to take out a mortgage on a home you own you'll receive an alert.
You can then judge whether the activity is suspicious and seek further advice.
You should also check your credit report regularly as this logs credit searches linked to addresses in your name, so you can spot suspicious loans linked to your home.
Where to get help
If you're concerned that your home is being used to fraudulently leverage finance call the Land Registry on its Property Fraud Line on 0300 006 7030.
The line is open from 8.30am to 5pm Monday to Friday and you can talk to specially trained staff who can provide practical guidance about what to do next.

Bill and Hillary Clinton talk democracy, corruption, land reform, technology, Artificial Intelligence and more
Press release • Nov 01, 2018 18:36 CAT
President Bill Clinton and former First Lady, U.S. Senator, Secretary of State and presidential candidate, Hillary Rodham Clinton were the keynote speakers at the 9th Discovery Leadership Summit held at the Sandton Convention Centre. Interviewed by Discovery Chief Executive, Adrian Gore, the powerful couple conveyed insights into themes as varied as the state of democracy in today's global society, land reform policies in South Africa, approaches to managing corruption and state capture, the double-edged sword of technological advances and AI (artificial intelligence).
Hillary Rodham Clinton said a healthy society can be compared to a three-legged stool which stands when there is a functioning, effective and honest government; a productive, dynamic and successful private sector; and a flourishing civil society. "The legs have to be stable and equal," she added. "And they are unequal in most of the world. There is work for all of us to do."
Asked by Gore about their world view, the Clintons were hopeful about democracies around the world but cautionary, amongst other things about ungoverned technology and artificial intelligence possibly threatening job security in economies such as South Africa's.
"I think what we're going to find out in the next 25 years is this burst of democracy and comfort with diversity, and the restraints of democracy bringing people together. Life is hard, but it's an exciting time. Overall, the world is in pretty good place and the problems are not insoluble," said the US president. He cited extended life expectancy, reduced infant morbidity, amongst some of the reasons. "When president Mandela and I started out on Aids, there was no global fund on Aids and TB, or malaria, nor Gates foundation. People are now living longer with treatable conditions."
Meanwhile, Hillary Clinton said the Ramaphosa government was hopeful for South Africa after a difficult prior decade.
"What citizens want to see is hope that is tethered to results. Part of what is going on in Europe and the US is that democracy is not delivering the kind of results that people want. Some of what they want is not as basic as other places, like South Africa, where you first have to deal with inequality, lift people up and create a diverse and inclusive society."
They warned against "ardent populists" and singular narratives creating perceptions that situations were worse than they are.
"Democracy is worth its messiness," he said. "The way president Mandela started out here was right, that more diverse groups always make for better democracies than homogenous ones. Hillary and I have spent our lives fighting an us-versus-them world. And it seems that all the walls in the world look more like nets now," said Bill Clinton.
Responding to a question from Gore on the impact of local land reform policies on investor confidence, Hillary Clinton added: "There are different ways of approaching this. It is not a good signal to investors for wholesale expropriation. From what I understand there are willing sellers but they are still going into very few hands of what looks like politically-connected people."
She suggested turning to international examples, even in Rwanda, which were important for sentiment and give faith to people in rural areas – communities which have proven in the US and the UK to swing votes in the wrong direction because "they feel stuck". "If you're providing land, how productive is that land, what is the follow through?" she asked. The land issue could restore faith psychologically and economically to the country's disenfranchised citizens, but she warned about the impact on international investment.
"Hillary's right. Is it worth your reputation? I know you can get hurt if you do it wrong, and people in rural areas will lose hope. All these tough problems, I would put on the backburner and be aggressive about the low-hanging fruit that big business can actually tackle."
He added that narratives about the country should not "trigger deep seated insecurities in people and empower the people who want to benefit from these insecurities."
Hillary Clinton said the 3000-strong business leaders at the Sandton Convention Centre "have a big stake in making sure that democracy in SA, locally and globally, is upheld and stands up against corruption."
The pair suggested that the internet was a powerful platform through which governments could make public all contracts and function-related efforts, spending of public funds and more, audited by an independent entity, as the former Secretary of State had done during her tenure, in relation to all Aid-related contracts. "This is one way to avert corruption," said the former President Clinton. "A second point is to ensure that public-sector staff doing business with the private sector are not vulnerable to corruption," added Hillary Clinton. "It takes two to be corrupt. Where people think that this is the only way to do business that is a problem. The government of Singapore takes pride in paying public servants more to prevent them from being corruptible and trained to be honest and effective. This is an excellent model to look into."
Staying on the subject of technology, the Secretary of State emphasised the need to regulate Artificial Intelligence (AI): "When you have people of the calibre of the late Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk or Tim Cook saying, 'wait a minute, this could get too far too fast', we need to pay attention. This discussion needs to inform and guide the public as, left to our own devices we will continue to develop AI without comprehending its applications. I fear that AI is racing ahead so quickly ahead that in the absence of independent efforts that bring people together the world will just fall forward into whatever AI does to us, and it will be very difficult to pull us back and protect ourselves."
President Bill Clinton added that there is a more mundane issue that should be first addressed. "Will the revolution in AI, robotics and nanotechnology kill more jobs than it creates?" He suggested this could become a runaway problem for countries like South Africa where unemployment is currently very high. The former First Lady added that driverless cars could, for example, wipe out a staggering number of drivers' jobs overnight in the USA alone. "The most valuable commodity in the today's world is your personal data. It has been used to feed AI a bloodstream of information that can be used in ways we would not have opted into or approved of, had we been given the chance," she said.
Offering a closing motivation to the country, Bill Clinton concluded: "This is a great country. You have enormous potential; do not screw this up. Do what is in front of you. The work in hand is the most important thing."
