It will be of interest to give here the views of Thomas De Quincey, one of the most accurate students of language, and profoundest reasoners and thinkers among English scholars. He states the facts of the case with almost perfect accuracy: "I used to be annoyed and irritated by the false interpretation given to the Greek word aión, and given necessarily, therefore, to the Greek adjective aiónios as its immediate derivative. It was not so much the falsehood of this interpretation, as the narrowness of that falsehood that disturbed me That reason which gives to this word aionion what I do not scruple to call a dreadful importance, is the same reason, and no other, which prompted the dishonesty concerned in the ordinary interpretation of this word. The word happened to connect itself —but that was no practical concern of mine, —me it had not biased in the one direction, nor should it have biased any just critic in the counter direction —happened, I say, to connect itself with the ancient dispute upon the duration of future punishment. What was meant by the aionion punishments of the next world? Was the proper sense of the word eternal, or was it not? . . . That argument runs thus —that the ordinary construction of the word aionion, as equivalent to everlasting, could not possibly be given up, when associated with penal misery, because in that case, and by the very same act, the idea of eternity must be abandoned as applicable to the counter bliss of paradise. Torment and blessedness, it was argued, punishment and beatification stood upon the same level; the same word it was, the word aionion, which qualified the duration of either; and if eternity, in the most rigorous acceptation, fell away from the one idea, it must equally fall away from the other. Well, be it so. But that would not settle the question. It might be very painful to renounce a long cherished anticipation, but the necessity of doing so could not be received as a sufficient reason for adhering to the old unconditional use of the word aionion. The argument is —that we must retain the old sense of eternal, because else we lose upon one scale what we had gained upon the other. But what then? would be the reasonable man's retort. We are not to accept or to reject a new construction (if otherwise the more colorable,) of the word aionion, simply because the consequences might seem such, as, upon the whole, to displease us. We may gain nothing; for by the new interpretation our loss may balance our gain, and we may prefer the old arrangement. But how monstrous is all this! We are not summoned as to a choice of two different arrangements that may suit different tastes, but to a grave question as to what is the sense and operation of the word aionion. . . Meantime all this speculation, first and last, is pure nonsense. Aionian does not mean eternal, neither does it mean of limited duration.
Nor would the unsettling of aionian in its old use, as applied to punishment, to torment, to misery, etc., carry with it any necessary unsettling of the idea in its application to the beatitudes of Paradise.
What is an aion? The duration or cycle of existence which belongs to any object, not individually of itself, but universally, in right of its genius. . . . Man has a certain aionian life; possibly ranging somewhere about the period of seventy years assigned in the Psalms. . . . The period would in that case represent the "aion" of the individual Tellurian; but the "aion" of the Tellurian race would probably amount to many millions of our earthly years, and it would remain an unfathomable mystery, deriving no light at all from the septuagenarian "aion" of the individual; though between the two aions I have no doubt that some secret link of connection does and must subsist, however undiscoverable by human sagacity.
This only is discoverable, as a general tendency, that the aion, or generic period of evil is constantly towards a fugitive duration. The aion, it is alleged, must always express the same idea, whatever that may be; if it is less than eternity for the evil cases, then it must be less for the good ones. Doubtless the idea of an aion is in one sense always uniform, always the same, —viz., as a tenth or a twelfth is always the same. Arithmetic could not exist if any caprice or variation affected their ideas —a tenth is always more than an eleventh, always less than a ninth. But this uniformity of ratio and proportion does not hinder but that a tenth may now represent a guinea, and the next moment represent a thousand guineas. The exact amount of the duration expressed by an aion depends altogether upon the particular subject which yields the aion. It is, as I have said, a radix, and like an algebraic square-root or cube-root, though governed by the most rigorous laws of limitation, it must vary in obedience to the nature of the particular subject whose radix it forms." De Quincey's conclusions are:
A. That man who allows himself to infer the eternity of evil from the counter eternity of good, builds upon the mistake of assigning a stationary and mechanic value to the idea of an aion, whereas the very purpose of Scripture in using the word was to evade such a value. The word is always varying for the very purpose of keeping if faithful to a spiritual identity. The period or duration of every object would be an essentially variable quantity, were it not mysteriously commensurate to the inner nature of that object as laid open to the eyes of God. And thus it happens, that everything in the world possibly without a solitary exception, has its own separate aion; how many entities, so many aions.
B. But if it be an excess of blindness which can overlook the aionian differences amongst even neutral entities, much deeper is that blindness which overlooks the separate tendencies of things evil and things good. Naturally, all evil is fugitive and allied to death.
C. I, separately, speaking for myself only, profoundly believe that the Scriptures ascribe absolute and metaphysical eternity to one sole being —viz., God; and derivatively to all others according to the interest which they can plead in God's favor. Having anchorage in God, innumerable entities may possibly be admitted to a participation in divine aion. But what interest in the favor of God can belong to falsehood, to malignity, to impurity? To invest them with aionian privileges, is, in effect, and by its results, to distrust and to insult the Deity. Evil would not be evil, if it had that power of self-subsistence which is imparted to it in supposing its aionian life to be co-eternal with that which crowns and glorifies the good."(57)

Iran's test of missiles is an issue relating to defense of its territorial integrity and has nothing to do with a comprehensive nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers or with a subsequent resolution the UNSC passed to endorse the accord, Iran's foreign minister asserted.
Speaking at a joint press conference with his German counterpart in Tehran on Saturday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif made it clear that the country's missile tests have nothing to do with the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
His comments came a week after Iran successfully test-fired a ballistic missile dubbed 'Emad', a long-range guided projectile that can hit targets with high precision.
The foreign minister underscored that the JCPOA, a lasting nuclear deal between Iran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany), "has made no mention of the missiles."
Iran and the Group 5+1 (also known as the P5+1 or E3+3) on July 14 reached a conclusion on a 159-page nuclear agreement that would terminate all sanctions imposed on Tehran over its nuclear energy program after coming into force.
Afterwards, the 15-memebr United Nations Security Council passed a resolution that endorsed the JCPOA.
Elsewhere in his comments, Zarif noted that Iran "seriously believes that its missile tests have nothing to do with the Resolution 2231 either."
Resolution 2231 calls upon Iran "not to undertake any activity related to ballistic missiles designed to be capable of delivering nuclear weapons."
The foreign minister reaffirmed that none of the Iranian missiles have been designed to be capable of carrying nuclear warheads, because the nuclear weapons have basically no place in Iran's defense doctrine.
"Iran's missile program, which is for legitimate defense of the Islamic Republic of Iran's sovereignty and territorial integrity, has no relation with those resolution" passed by the UN, he underlined.
The foreign minister also dismissed the comments by US President Barack Obama, who vowed at a news conference at the White House on Friday to continue to enforce sanctions on Iran's ballistic missile program.
Zarif then slammed the US government as one of the biggest violators of human rights in the Middle East region, and took a swipe at Washington for supporting the Zionist regime of Israel.
He noted that the US officials' recurring allegations against Iran will just further taint their image among the Iranian people.

I reached out directly via email and Karol was able to answer all my questions in a prompt manner. The product I received was perfect and its clear the creator puts hard work into each one that goes out. My jacket feels uniquely me and I love including it in different outfits for events or just everyday life. I am proud to own and wear something so artistic and I believe the asking price is well worth it for me. Thank you again for this wonderful creation.

A practical, informative guide to banks' major weakness
Legal Data for Banking defines the legal data domain in the context of financial institutions, and describes how banks can leverage these assets to optimise business lines and effectively manage risk. Legal data is at the heart of post-2009 regulatory reform, and practitioners need to deepen their grasp of legal data management in order to remain compliant with new rules focusing on transparency in trade and risk reporting. This book provides essential information for IT, project management and data governance leaders, with detailed discussion of current and best practices. Many banks are experiencing recurrent pain points related to legal data management issues, so clear explanations of the required processes, systems and strategic governance provide immediately-relevant relief.
The recent financial crisis following the collapse of major banks had roots in poor risk data management, and the regulators' unawareness of accumulated systemic risk stemming from contractual obligations between firms. To avoid repeating history, today's banks must be proactive in legal data management; this book provides the critical knowledge practitioners need to put the necessary systems and practices in place.
* Learn how current legal data management practices are hurting banks
* Understand the systems, structures and strategies required to manage risk and optimise business lines
* Delve into the regulations surrounding risk aggregation, netting, collateral enforceability and more
* Gain practical insight on legal data technology, systems and migration
The legal contracts between firms contain significant obligations that underpin the financial markets; failing to recognise these terms as valuable data assets means increased risk exposure and untapped business lines. Legal Data for Banking provides critical information for the banking industry, with actionable guidance for implementation.

Michelle Obama Hilariously Breaks Down Why Melania Trump's Inauguration Gift Exchange Appeared So Awkward
The former FLOTUS also explained to Ellen Degeneres how Barack stepped in and saved the day.
B.B King was hospitalized in Las Vegas over the weekend due to issues related to diabetes. According to TMZ, the 89-year-old blues legend was rushed to an area hospital close to his home, where he remains.
Official details behind the medical emergency have not been made public, although a source told TMZ that he was dehydrated. King was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes more than 25 years ago and has spoken publicly about keeping his health in check by doing things like managing his glucose levels.
In the past, the Mississippi-born musician has mentioned his parents' health ailments as a motivator to keep his diabetes on track. "My father died at 87, and the only thing I know is that he had high blood glucose and gout," he recalled. "My mother died when I was 9. I think she went blind before she died. It must have been related to diabetes. Nobody knew what to do at that time. We were people living out in the country. We didn't have all the modern conveniences like blood glucose testing."
Complications from diabetes forced King to cancel his U.S. tour last year.

GARDI WILL be in attendance for Friday prayers at mosques across Ireland, it has been confirmed.
It comes in the wake of mass shootings at two mosques in New Zealand.
49 people were killed and a further 48 were injured when gunmen opened fire at two mosques in the Christchurch region of New Zealand.
As a show of support, Gardai have confirmed they will be making themselves available to Ireland's Muslim communities in the wake of the attacks.
An announcement, made via the Gardai Twitter page reads:"To provide support to the Muslim community in Ireland after the terrible events in New Zealand, community Gardaí will be attending Friday prayer in their local mosque and making themselves available to those communities."
To provide support to the Muslim community in Ireland after the terrible events in New Zealand, community Gardaí will be attending Friday prayer in their local mosque and making themselves available to those communities.
— Garda Info (@gardainfo) March 15, 2019
New Zealand Police have now confirmed that three men and one woman are in custody following the attacks.
At least one of the group streamed footage of the attack live on the internet. None of the four people arrested were on New Zealand's security and terrorism watchlist.
One has been identified as a male in his late 20s has been charged with murder and is expected to appear in court tomorrow.
A fourth person was detained but may have had nothing to do with the attacks.
Australia's prime minister Scott Morrison has since confirmed that one of those arrested was an Australian citizen.
Two explosive devices that were attached to the suspects' vehicles were also found at the scene.
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern told the Press Association:
"We have undoubtedly experienced an attack today that is unprecedented, unlike anything that we have experienced before.
"But, as I say, New Zealand has been chosen because we are not a place where violent extremism exists.
"We reject those notions and we must continue to reject them. This is not an enclave for that kind of behaviour, for that kind of ideology.
"We will and must reject it. This is a place where people should feel secure and will feel secure.
"I am not going to let this change New Zealand's profile, none of us should."
"What has happened here is an extraordinary and unprecedented act of violence."

It's not news that our students at Slater High School are SUPER: super busy, super involved, and SUPER AWESOME!
Homecoming week is BUSY, and this year, it's immediately following the Slater Fall festival. The week of homecoming, our students will attend two different college fairs, two home softball games, an FBLA evening event, a home football game, and more!
Between these events, sports practices, club meetings, and jobs, finding time to work on floats that week will be a challenge for our students, plus it's a significant cost to the classes. After a lot of thought and multiple discussions, we're going to try something new this year: Banners!
On the first day of school, we drafted the students into CATS families (See NEWS section of slaterschools.net for more info: Wildcats Start CATS Families Program). Students will be working in those groups throughout the year to earn points for prizes.
Each CATS family will work on a banner to be hung from the Elm Street side of the HS Building on Thursday & Friday of Homecoming week. Here are the guidelines we're working with:
1. Twin sized sheets will be proved. Finished size will be folded in half 'landscape' orientation.
2. CATS family teachers will supervise banner painting, likely before or after school (there will be no data teams the week of 9/24) to accommodate practice schedules. CATS families supervisors/CFCs aren't the only ones who can supervise - any teacher in that family can host and/or contribute.
3. CATS family teachers will provide class sponsors with copies of their sign in sheets each day so class participation points can be recorded.
4. Class Sponsors/parents are welcome to work on banners with kids.
5. Banners are due in my office at 7:30 am on Thursday morning, Sept. 27. (Next year, we'll hang them Monday/Tuesday morning of HC week.) 6. Banners will be hung up outside HS building (Elm St. side) on Thursday. They will be used in the parade and displayed on the fence at the Football game.
7. ALL HS students not participating in the parade with royalty nominations, sports, activities, etc. will walk in the parade with their CATS families. They will carry their banners and/or throw candy.
8. Each CATS family will have $25 to purchase paint for the banners and candy for the parade.
We wanted to share the information so our community knows about the change and the reasons behind it. We appreciate your support as we embrace a new tradition that is 'friendlier' to our busy students' schedules and allows them to keep more of their fundraising money to go towards Senior Trip and Graduation.

Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
To fight for custody of his daughter who loves playing the piano, a steel factory worker decides to forge a piano from scratch.
2011 | Winner: FIPRESCI Prize
2010 | Winner: Best Actor Award
Witty and beautiful filmed, great Chinese film that needs to be seen.
I love this film. I love its dignity and courage. Beautifully shot in the forgotten corner of China.
An amazing film! I cannot recommend it enough! Really shows the lengths that family will go to to provide a good life. The love shown is astounding, beating the odds. Amazing score as well fitting the mood perfectly. All the actors did a great job giving the sense of living in the rural area. Shots lent themselves to help you feel the street layouts and amazing symmetry. Fantastic film.
In my experience, Chinese comedies seldom translate. This is the exception. Wonderfully warm and genuinely funny. Accented throughout with beautiful moments. When you don't want a film to end you know you have seen something very special.
I found the film to be a beautiful display of emotion shown and heard through poverty stricken landscapes, Russian music, and excessive cigarette smoking. Chen Guillin is a musician and factory worker who's quest is to win his daughter by getting her a piano. He ultimately decides that his best option is to build one. In this quest he finds contentment, both expected and unexpected,
First of all, The Piano in the Factory was funnier than anticipated. Its apparent that director Zhang Meng is a light-hearted spirit, playfully bringing music in and out to dress up a deep message in a more palatable way. Pairing that musical touch with perfectly in sync set & cinematography, the film dances around the reality of the society in the film keeping events comedic, but making sure events get due credit.
A wonderful film about the love of a father towards his daughter. Even through the rough times, the fathers love for his daughter came first. That is a true sign of love for family. The movie had a light-hearted feel to it and the acting was great. The music was catchy and memorable. I enjoyed watching this movie.
A delightfully charming story about a father's love that transcends any language or cultural barrier. Filled with humor, drama, and wonderful music, it is a tale that tugs at the heart while showcasing the hardships faced by the lower working class in China. Still it manages to be relevant to Western audiences as well while not taking itself too seriously.

Israel fails to meet your tests as far as what a democracy should have. It starts wars and it violates the rights of people.
Have you ever looked into this issue? I don't hear you calling for Israel to abide by international law, why is that?
This is something we need to deal with immediately. U.S. support for Israel was the prime motive for the 9/11 attacks. We could dramatically reduce the risk of terrorism simply by insisting that Israel abide by its obligations. Why aren't you calling for that?
- f mcdonald said...
You mean Israel is to blame for the 9/11 attacks????
Holy Smoke! How did so many people fail to see it? All this time we've been blaming Islamo Fascists when the real culprit was Israel.
I bet the Israelis faked all those horrific attacks on their citizens and children just to gain sympathy. (sarcasm intended)
Maybe you need to loosen the tinfoil a bit or at least step away from the bong.
- Brendan Steinhauser said...
If terrorists attack us b/c of our support for Israel, why do they support Shia Iraqis? Why did they attack Spain? Why did they attack a French oil tanker? Why did they bomb a nightclub in Bali, Indonesia? And why did they plot to behead the Canadian prime minister?
- Tom said...
Mainstream media certainly has not made it easy to understand what motivated the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. If you are confused about what to believe, you should take note that pundits who push lies about what is motivating the terrorists resort to fraud to make their case. Thomas Friedman covers up what bin LAden has said for years about Palestine. Friedman claims, "the fact is that bin Laden never focused on this issue. He only started talking about "Palestine" after September 11." What Friedman has written is a flat out lie. To give just one example that disproves what Friedman wrote: "Your position against Muslims in Palestine is despicable and disgraceful. America has no shame. " - Osama bin Laden May 1998
George Tenet, when he was CIA director, played the same game, he covered up the motives by selectively quoting the terrorists. In his written statement before the Congressional Joint Inquiry on 9/11, Tenet quotes the 1998 ruling "to kill Americans and their allies, both civilian and military" yet omits the rest of the key sentence which states why: "in order to liberate the al-Aqsa Mosque [in Jerusalem] and the holy mosque [in Mecca] from their grip, and in order for their armies to move out of all the lands of Islam, defeated and unable to threaten any Muslim."
These pundits and politicians should not be suppressing or denying the facts.
President Bush said yesterday, "I know there is an international jihadist movement that desires to do us harm and they have territorial ambitions. The reason I know that is that's what they've told us. And part of their territorial ambition is to have safe haven in Iraq. That's what they've said. That's what the enemy has clearly said. And it seems like to me that the Commander-in-Chief ought to listen to what the enemy says." I agree, it makes sense that if we want to know there motives, we listen to what they have been saying. What they have been saying has been clear and consistent for years.
The terrorist behind the 1993 attack on the WTC sent a letter to the NYT which said: "This action was done in response for the American political, economical, and military support to Israel the state of terrorism and to the rest of the dictator countries in the region."
Osama bin Laden reminded people in May of 1999, "The International Islamic Front for Jihad against the U.S. and Israel has issued a crystal-clear fatwa calling on the Islamic nation to carry on jihad aimed at liberating holy sites. The nation of Muhammad has responded to this appeal. If the instigation for jihad against the Jews and the Americans in order to liberate Al-Aksa Mosque and the Holy Ka'aba Islamic shrines in the Middle East is considered a crime, then let history be a witness that I am a criminal."
The 9/11 Commission reported on the motive of the "mastermind of the Sept. 11 attacks." On page 147 of the 9/11 Commission Report, it says "By his own account, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's animus toward the United States stemmed not from his experiences there as a student, but rather from his violent disagreement with U.S. foreign policy favoring Israel."
The two terrorist pilots who crashed the two planes into the WTC shared the same motivation. Mohammed Atta, who flew into WTC 1, was described by one Ralph Bodenstein, who traveled, worked and talked with him, as "most imbued actually about Israeli politics in the region and about U.S. protection of these Israeli politics in the region. And he was to a degree personally suffering from that." Marwan al-Shehhi, the pilot who flew into WTC 2, was focused on the same thing, telling a friend, "How can you laugh when people are dying in Palestine?"
President Bush should do what he said, " the Commander-in-Chief ought to listen to what the enemy says." And what bin Laden says has been clear. In 2003, bin Laden reminded people again that "in 1998, the Mujahideen warned America to cease their support to the Jews and to leave the Land of the Two Holy Sanctuaries, but the enemy refused to heed this warning ..." He also pointed out that President Bush was hiding the truth about their motives, "the Mujahideen saw the black gang of thugs in the White House hiding the Truth, and their stupid and foolish leader, who is elected and supported by his people, denying reality and proclaiming that we (the Mujahideen) were striking them because we were jealous of them (the Americans), whereas the reality is that we are striking them because of their evil and injustice in the whole of the Islamic World, especially in Iraq and Palestine and their occupation of the Land of the Two Holy Sanctuaries."
You asked why other terrorists have attacked other counties. Their motives have been expressed. Most of the attacks you mentioned against those foreign countries had to so with those countries' participation in wars against Afghanistan and Iraq. The attack on the oil tanker was motivated by one of the grievances bin Laden has mentioned years before 9/11, aggression against them. After the attack on the oil tanker, bin Laden congratulated "the Muslim Nation for the daring and heroic Jihad operations" which he said was "reminding the enemy of the bloody price they have to pay for continuing their aggression against our nation."

Sorry, Charlie was being a boy dog in the corner over there. I wanted to get a quick video of the two of them out in our snow today to share with you all, since some of you folks never get to see the white stuff in person.
Charlie and Sasha had to go say hi to our neighbor's dog. They hadn't seen him since we've been going around front to potty.

Mason student travels to Norway on Fulbright scholarship
A Ph.D. student at George Mason University will be spending this year in Norway as a grantee of the prestigious US Fulbright award.
Mona Anita Olsen served as the assistant director of the Mason Small Business Development Center and is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Mason with a focus in instructional technology, entrepreneurship and apprenticeship.
The goal of the program, as described by the Fulbright website, is to promote "cultural exchange" between the United States and other nations. The prestigious Fulbright award has been granted to many notable candidates including former congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, Nobel Prize recipient Joseph Stiglitz and Mason's own President Cabrera.
"To be competitive for the Fulbright the applicant must have an excellent academic record, a good project proposal and must be able to demonstrate interest in and preparation for the country to which they are applying," said Kathryn Agoston, the graduate ellowship director at Mason.
"A successful Fulbright applicant is generally someone who knows what they want to do and what they want to get out of the experience and who is self-motivated and able to work independently in challenging circumstances," Agoston said.
Recipients are given grants for research and teaching in foreign countries. Olsen applied in August 2011 with the help of Agoston.
"I worked with Mona to define her project, her goals as a Fulbright scholar and to decide what kind of Fulbright grant would be the best fit for her," Agoston said.
Olsen followed Agoston's guidance and chose to pursue a grant for individual research.
"The research that I am working on with entrepreneurship education directly ties to my dissertation," said Olsen, who is of Norwegian descent.
Olsen first visited Norway in 2002 through a study abroad program at the Norwegian School of Hotel Management in Stavanger. She was surprised to return there as part of the Fulbright program.
"I had written in my journal in 2002 that I would one day get back to Stavanger to live at some point," Olsen said. "I had no idea it would be as a Fulbrighter."
"My project explores how apprenticeship can be used as a tool to enhance traditional entrepreneurship education," Olsen said. Her research will be used to promote new forms of educating entrepreneurs in the United States through apprenticeships to help improve the economy.
Olsen has worked with different entrepreneurs in Norway, including a construction business owner and a jewelry designer.
Along with her research, Olsen will spend time learning about Norwegian culture. She said she has had a few problems adjusting to Norwegian living.
"I started an electrical fire with my vacuum in the garage because I blew the transformer," Olsen said. "I learned about the difference in electricity quite quickly—put the fire out—but still managed to have the alarm go off in the apartment building."
Though she believes the opportunity will open many doors for her professionally, Olsen plans to keep her options open for what to do after her time in Norway.
"For the first time in my life, I'm okay with not knowing or having a fully outlined next plan," Olsen said. "All I know is that as a result of Fulbright, my eyes will be open wider, I will have a new skill set, my network will be larger and I will know myself a lot more."
Olsen's grant will last through June 2013.

This was absolutely filthy when I bought it, but I just thought it looked interesting, a bit like a wedding cake. My daughter thinks it looks like a lemon squeezer. From that you may understand she doesn't indulge in a lot of cooking...
It's glass and had a Made in Czechoslovakia sticker on the bottom. Had. I soaked it and the sticker floated off. Soaking was useless to remove the grime so I resorted to Cillit Bang. Which worked a small miracle. I had no idea it was so brightly coloured.
I think it must be a dressing table pot, for trinkets. Or possibly a powder pot for refilling, with a down powder puff on top.
I often hold old things and wonder who owned it before, where it has been on its journey. This is so theatrical and bright I imagine it on a dressing table belonging to a 30s glamour girl/actress. Or a shopgirl with aspirations.
I have a vivid imagination and can visualise whole stories around a single object. Around a single word even.
I think I'd have been good in advertising...'Tell me, Dahling, what does the word ''carbuncle'' say to you?'

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - The European Central Bank said on Friday it will take over supervision of the European operations of Barclays and Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofAML) after they moved some businesses to Ireland from Britain because of Brexit.
The two banks' Irish subsidiaries have previously been supervised by Irish authorities but their bigger size means they will now come under the ECB's watch.
Bank of America announced this month that it had merged its UK banking entity into its Irish unit, employing over 800 people in Dublin and making the company its principal European banking entity.
Barclays has also made Dublin the headquarters of its European operations, employing around 400 in the Irish capital and beefing up the unit's balance sheet to about 250 billion euros, the Irish government has said.
The ECB supervises euro zone-based banks when total assets exceed 30 billion euros or if they are deemed locally significant, among other criteria. Barclays and Bank of America's remaining operations in the UK will continue to be supervised by British authorities.
The ECB has long insisted that banks seeking to do business in the European Union after Brexit must move actual operations, including assets and qualified personnel, as it would not grant licenses to 'empty shell' or letter box banks.
Over two dozen UK-based banks are in various stages of obtaining an EU license from the ECB to maintain their access to the bloc once Britain leaves but few have made an actual move.
The ECB, which looks over 119 of the euro zone's biggest lenders, also said it would no longer supervise Dublin-based Permanent tsb Group Holdings plc (IL0A.I) as the bank did not meet any of the significance criteria for three consecutive calendar years.

Though formally established by an act of the Mississippi Legislature in 1838, the Mississippi State Library had its inception in an act of the Normal Meeting of 1815 which authorized the Secretary of the Territory to buy a set of the acts of the United States Congress and a digest of the legal guidelines of the states of the Union. Libraries in Illinois offering Web pornography are appearing outdoors the law that restricts libraries in a means that precludes Web porn. Kris Niedringhaus succeeded Nancy Johnson as the Affiliate Dean for Library and Info Companies in Might 2013. The Moritz Legislation Library has a collection of legal fiction that can assist you take a mental break.
The regulation library director should have the authority to oversee the planning, funding, and implementation of computer networks linking the library's online catalog, other library recordsdata, technical processing operations, community-based mostly legal information sources, and different online info sources obtainable from distant locations right into a single net-based mostly electronic information resource.
You would not have been admitted to regulation college if you did not have the uncooked intelligence to graduate with a J.D. There's a take a look at (the LSAT) which – for all its flaws – tests your intelligence in areas which are not less than tangentially-related to what's required of legislation students. The Moritz Regulation Library affords students entry to web-based authorized tutorials and other sources by way of the Center for Pc-Assisted Authorized Instruction (CALI), a non-revenue consortium.
Participation in federal and state depository programs enables the library to develop each important main and helpful secondary collections. Now, I used to be applying for legislation college, and if I had any prayer of succeeding I would have to change into the kind of scholar I had by no means been at any level in my life. Given how the library ignores Lawyer Basic admonitions and continues to defy the legislation with alacrity, it's my opinion that removing such library trustees is probably going the most effective means of restoring respect for the regulation to the library board.
An obvious spotlight for me personally was my induction into the Wisconsin Library Corridor of Fame on the Wisconsin Library Affiliation Conference in Milwaukee in October (see picture above). Given this, Legal professional Basic intervention is needed to start to cease OPPL from violating the legislation.

About Columbus: This technologically superior city is hub of research and development, including the Battelle Memorial Institute, Chemical Abstracts Service and Netjets and the Ohio State University.

At Chutima Therapy, Brighton we always try and give information and links to interesting massage and therapy related sites. In this article we want to share the knowledge of the world renowned Wat Po.
Wat Phra Chetuphon, or "Wat Po", is well known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, as well as being Thailand's first "open" University. After present Chakri Dynasty in 1782, HM the King had a royal instruction to restore Wat Po to be the first grade of royal monastery. From the great restoration during King Rama I and King Rama III, Wat Po came to be the center of Thai Arts and Knowledge where the wisdom of Thai Traditional Medicine and Massage were gathered from the ancestors and is still passed on today, e.g. instruction of herbal drug recipes, diagnosis and treatment for general ailments, baby illnesses and healing methods, massage inscriptions and drawings, Ascetic statues etc.
Being the base of Thai Medicine, Wat Po Thai Traditional Medical and Massage School was opened in 1955 inside Wat Po. It is the first Thai Medical School under the approval of Thai Ministry of Education. The school presently offers 4 basic courses of Thai Medicine that are Thai Pharmacy, Thai medical practice, Thai Midwife Nurse and Thai Massage.
Wat Po TTM is acknowledged worldwide and the school's original Thai Traditional Massage treatment and training course that is sometimes referred to as Wat Po massage. A large number of Thai and foreign students that graduate from the school participate in Thai Massage as well as enter into the spa business all over the world.

The instinctive act to touch, rub, or knead different parts of the body when there is pain or discomfort can probably be traced back to the beginning of human evolution. Many different kinds of mammals will rub themselves with their paws or lick wounds that hurt them. With our superior intelligence, we learned to memorize, differentiate, and systematize our ways of touching and their effects on the body. Hence, various systems of massage developed.
The earliest historical records of massage appear to be from China over 5,000 years ago during the reign of the Yellow Emperor, Huang Ti. Recommendations for massage as a means of helping the body to heal itself also appeared in the Indian book of Ayur Veda around 1,800 B.C. There are also numerous references to the benefits and uses of massage in the medical literature of many other cultures around the world. Even in the Bible there are many references to the "Laying-on-of-hands" as a method of curing sickness.
Until recently, not only in the west but in Thailand also, the popularity of massage has been marred by the general population's puritanical attitude towards the body. Massage is now once more regarded as a legitimate method of health care because of the surge of interest in the many alternative approaches to conventional medicine, particularly in the types of body-oriented therapy.
Over time, the art of massage has been developed into many different schools. There are institutes or teaching centers in many countries around the world. The most popular are, currently, the Swedish style (which, in fact, was developed from Chinese massage by Swede named Per Henrik Ling) and the Japanese massage (Shiatsu or acupressure).
Traditional Thai massage is believed to have come from India along with the expansion of Buddhism and Indian culture into Thailand. Some scholars speculate that possibly there might have been Chinese influences on Thai culture, through trading relationships over a long period, which also played a part in the development of Thai massage. This, of course, spanned many centuries of history and during this time the art has been refined and shaped into its present system.
At present traditional Thai massage is still taught and practiced at many Buddhist temples and massage schools throughout the country. The well known temples in Bangkok area are Wat Mahataat, Wat Parinayok, Wat Sampraya, and Wat Pho.
Massage exemplifies the "Four Divine States of Mind" of Buddhist teaching: loving kindness, compassion, vicarious joy, and equanimity. These are collectively known in Thai as the "Phramwihan See". They embody the spirit in which Thai medical services were traditionally given, as opposed to the motivating forces of commercialism which are so apparent nowadays in Thailand.

With so many of us suffering from back pains the question needs to be asked "why?"
We think one of the greatest explanations is from Paul Cook, Fitness Guru, www.paulcookfitness.com. His view is that we no longer use our backs as much as our ancestors. We sit, we drive, we barely walk and we have a plethora of machines to do our daily chores. The back muscles need daily exercise to strengthen them, by doing this we will avoid injuries and pains that so many of us suffer. A great exercise for doing this are 'supermans':
Go slowly, do three sets of 5-10, if it hurts stop but keep at it you will notice the difference within a week. Incorporate it into your daily life, every morning do your stretches and include some supermans.
An important point to remember is that if you have hurt yourself, give the muscle a couple of days to settle before booking a massage. We feel immediate treatment can often aggravate the injury whereas giving the muscle a time to rest will be far more beneficial for the therapy.
If you need more information don't hesitate to drop into our Brighton Shop and we will be happy to talk and advise you as best as we can.

The mammalian corpus luteum secretes progesterone under the influence of luteinizing hormone (LH). LH acts by binding to its G-protein coupled receptor and elevating intracellular cAMP thus activating protein kinase A (PKA). However, the exact role of PKA in the regulation of progesterone secretion remains unelucidated. Thus in this study we have investigated the relationship between PKA expression/activity and progesterone secretion during luteinization. Human granulosa cells were obtained from women undergoing oocyte retrieval for in vitro fertilization. All samples were obtained with informed patient consent (in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki) and with the approval of the local ethics committee. Luteinizing human granulosa cells were isolated by percoll gradient centrifugation and cultured in serum-supplemented medium for up to 3 days. On each day of culture, cells were incubated in the presence or absence of hLH (100ng/ml) and assessed for PKA protein expression with spent media being assessed for progesterone (P4). Cells were also incubated in the presence or absence of hLH in the additional presence of increasing concentrations of two structurally dissimilar PKA inhibitors, H89 and myristoylated PKI. The results showed that hLH induced a dose-dependent increase in P4 secretion (Day 3: 252.1 plus/minus 26.9% vs control) coincident with a dose-dependent inhibition of PKA expression (Day 3: 66.7 plus/minus 4.1% vs control). This was also associated with an increase in expression of cAMP-guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) I (Day 3, 128.8 plus/minus 8.9% vs control) the activation of which is cAMP-dependent. H89 and myristoylated PKI induced dose-dependent inhibition of both basal and hLH-induced progesterone secretion (H89, day 3: 62.1 plus/minus 3.8% vs control; PKI day 3: 74.1 plus/minus 2.6 % vs control). These results suggest that during luteinization progesterone secretion becomes progressively less dependent on PKA and thus may be regulated through cAMP-GEF I.

Trumpeting new tax-incentive legislation that went into effect in January, Gov. Rod Blagojevich this week said 2004 revenues in the Illinois Film Office are expected to reach $50 million--a 100% increase over figures available from 2003.
Clooney's clan picks Chicago
Trumpeting new tax-incentive legislation that went into effect in January, Gov. Rod Blagojevich this week said 2004 revenues in the Illinois Film Office are expected to reach $50 million--a 100% increase over figures available from 2003.
"This reverses a five-year downward trend," says Brenda Sexton, director of the Illinois Film Office, the agency that promotes Illinois as a film production destination.
Ms. Sexton attributes the estimated revenue increase to the financial impact of three big-budget Hollywood features scheduled to film at least a part of their productions here.
"The Weather Man," a new movie starring Nicolas Cage and directed by Gore Verbinski ("Pirates of the Caribbean"), is set to begin shooting in the middle of February. The other prominent works are "Ocean's 12," the sequel to the blockbuster heist movie starring George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and Julia Roberts, and a third title that Ms. Sexton says at the producers' request she cannot reveal.
More cash in the coffers
The Illinois Film Office projects the Nicholas Cage movie to generate $12 million in revenues, based on its discussions with the state's major film production unions, service industries and the Illinois Department of Revenue. The "Ocean's Twelve" project is expected to net $10 million and the third, untitled project--the largest and costliest of the three films--is expected to generate as much as $35 million.
By comparison, Ms. Sexton says, the only major productions that used Chicago as a primary location last year were "Barbershop 2: Back in Business," opening Friday, and "Proof," the Anthony Hopkins film shot in and around the University of Chicago last fall.
In a statement, the governor said Illinois is taking a "promising first step" to revitalize the local production industry and to lure productions away from Canada, where costs are lower. He cited the impact of S.B. 785, the bill he signed last August that gives producers a tax credit equal to 25% of the wages paid to Illinois residents engaged in film and television projects.
At least one analyst, who asked not to be identified, tempered the governor's enthusiasm, saying the revenue surge is somewhat misleading given how depressed the market has been. In 1999, Illinois revenue based on film and television production was nearly $125 million, according to figures supplied by the Illinois Film Office. That peak number hemorrhaged badly for four consecutive years, and shrank to just $25 million last year.
But Mr. Blagojevich's cheerleading is important psychologically for its long-term business implications, says Mark Egmon, president of Illinois Production Alliance (IPA), a consortium of production, business and labor leaders that promotes visual media.
"It is a major increase from last year, and I think rather than lament the business that we have lost, we have to acknowledge what this means," he says.
"The larger impact of this is that it allows us maintain the infrastructure that is needed to sustain the local industry," Mr. Egmon adds. "If we continued to have a [down cycle], we risk losing a lot of very talented people who simply cannot afford to stay in a place where there are no jobs or work.
"I think this shows how serious the state and Illinois Film Office are about [establishing] Illinois as a viable place to do business."

Singer Lana Del Rey, known for her vintage style, sultry singing voice, and "sad girl lyrics" has become the target of strong words in an upcoming memoir from Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon, titled Girl in a Band. Gordon, 61-years-old, seems to be less than impressed with Del Rey and her opinions on feminism, drugs, and depression in an excerpt that has reportedly surfaced from the memoir online in a tweet.

— Joe Keohane (@JoeKeohane) February 19, 2015
Gordon allegedly has has scathing words for Lana and seems to be referring to an interview with the Fader last year when Del Rey said feminism is "just not an interesting concept." According to Gordon's book, the following details exactly what she thinks of Del Rey as well as her comments regarding feminism in that interview.
"Today we have someone like Lana Del Rey, who doesn't even know what feminism is, who believes women can do whatever they want, which, in her world, tilts toward self-destruction, whether it's sleeping with gross old men or getting gang raped by bikers. Equal pay and equal rights would be nice. Naturally, it's just a persona. If she really truly believes it's beautiful when young musicians go out on a hot flame of drugs and depression, why doesn't she just off herself?"
Harsh words coming from Gordon, but Lana isn't the only one targeted in the book. According to Consequence of Sound, Gordon doesn't mince words when she also shares her less-than-flattering opinions on Billy Corgan ("such a crybaby"), Courtney Love ("egomaniacal"), and her ex-husband Thurston Moore, whom Gordon says had an affair which caused their split.
Lana Del Rey fans have come out in support of the singer, taking swings at Gordon on Twitter over the former Sonic Youth frontwoman's opinions.
@KimletGordon you're a legit idiot
— Lana Del Rey. (@LanaDelCyrus) February 19, 2015
@KimletGordon I like that one song you made 70 years ago, but, quite frankly, Lana is light years ahead of you darling. Stay in your lane.
— Edgar Alec Poe (@astownes) February 20, 2015
Other Twitter users are tweeting words of support to Gordon, writing they feel the same way about Lana Del Rey. Whether positive or negative, Gordon has retweeted much of the response to her excerpt.
I hope @Kimletgordon's book hits #1 next week! #girlinaband
— Adam Keleman (@ABKman) February 19, 2015
Wow, the @KimletGordon memoir has arrived already – at last a musician/artist I want to read about. #girlinaband pic.twitter.com/JRvlRubC4m
— Robbie Stamp (@CyclickBob) February 19, 2015
Lana was previously criticized by Frances Bean Cobain, daughter of Courtney Love and late Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain. In a series of tweets sent directly to Lana Del Rey, Frances Bean wrote, "The death of young musicians isn't something to romanticize. I'll never know my father because he died young & it becomes a desirable feat because ppl like u think it's 'cool.' [sic]"
So far, Del Rey hasn't responded publicly to Gordon and hasn't tweeted since February 6.
Gordon's memoir, Girl in a Band, releases February 24. Does the excerpt about Lana Del Rey make you want to read the book?

Spring Break which started in the 1930s as a vacational period in early Spring for universities and schools is now widely observed in the United States by students as well as adults with no ties to an academic calendar. Observed typically in late March and early April, this week-long reprieve from work and study is synonymous with traveling, partying, and shaking off those mid-year blues. At Innovative Entertainment, we want to help you celebrate in style in four of the hottest Spring Break destinations in the country. We're breaking down what each of these incredible cities has to offer, plus some tips on making the most of your vacation, starting with Las Vegas and San Diego.

Dubbed the entertainment capital of the world, the city is famous for the glitz and glam of the Las Vegas Strip. There's truly something for everyone, whether your tastes run toward fine dining or dive bars with live entertainment. We suggest checking out the day club at the Cosmopolitan's Marquee, where you can enjoy a poolside party unlike any other. If you'd rather sleep in, the club is open all night long. For a taste of the beach in the middle of the desert, hit up Mandalay Bay's famous rooftop beach pool.
If gastronomy is your thing, Vegas has plenty to offer. The town has restaurants serving every type of cuisine, from French to Italian to Asian fusion, and that's just on the Strip. One of Vegas's most unique downtown bars is The Laundry Room. It's known for its speakeasy theme; patrons must text a secret number to make a reservation. They are then guided through the secret doorway into an intimate lounge featuring many unique cocktail options. (That number, by the way, is 1 (702) 701-1466.)
If there's one thing Vegas does better than any other city, it's entertainment. We're talking glittering showgirls, daring acrobats, and live comedy that would make a sailor blush. While Cirque du Soleil is always top-notch, Vegas is better known for its adult fare. For a show that's off the beaten path, we recommend Zombie Burlesque. The show is set in the Atomic Age, and zombies live side by side with humans — and they've invited you to their exclusive club. The intimate theater is small, but if you're in the front row, the zombies might drag you on-stage.

This SoCal beach town is a more low-key option for Spring Break. Vacationers can spend the day enjoying one of the city's many beautiful beaches, then head into the city proper for the town's nightlife. The best beaches for partying are Pacific Beach and Mission Beach, which are great for surfing and sunbathing. Conveniently, there are quite a few large Airbnb rentals in the area that are perfect for large group or family trips.
San Diego's club scene is located in the Gaslamp neighborhood. The historic quarter is home to nightlife, restaurants, and popular dive bars. We recommend dinner and dancing at PARQ, a club which combines fine dining with an ethereal club atmosphere for a wholly unique experience. If you can, splurge on one of the 19 VIP tables – you won't regret it.
No post about San Diego would be complete without mentioning the food. The city boasts some of the best Mexican food in the country, and the craft brewery scene is thriving. City Tacos in North Park combines the two, pairing unique tacos with local beers or imported Mexican beers.

In the introductory comments to Jesus oft-quoted sermon recorded in Matthew
chapters 5-7, the first verse sets the stage
for His astonishing teachings. Matthew indicates that seeing the
multitudes, Jesus went up on a
mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him (emp. added). When Luke gives
the setting for Jesus
masterful sermon, he says that Jesus came down with them and stood on a level
place (emp. added). The question that
has been asked by many people is why Matthew recorded Jesus preaching this sermon from a
mountain, while Luke said it was while
He stood on a level place. Could Matthew or Luke have made a legitimate geographical error
here, or is there a reasonable
explanation for the difference that exists?
First of all, for these passages to be contradictory one must assume the two sermons were
delivered at the same place and at the
same time. But, as H. Leo Boles stated in his commentary on Luke, this sermon may have been
repeated a number of times and Luke
gives a record of the sermon which was repeated at some later time than the record given by
Matthew (1940, p. 134). It is more
than possible that Jesus repeated His teachings on various occasions. He easily could have
preached the beatitudes in Capernaum as well
as in Cana. He could have taught the model prayer in both Bethany and Bethsaida. Who are we to say
that Jesus preached the principles
and commands found in Matthew 5-7 only once? There are some men today who travel to a
different city nearly every week preaching
the same sermonsand do so effectively. Could Jesus not have done something similar?
A more likely solution to this geographical problem is simply to understand that
Matthew and Luke were referring to the
same sermon, and that Jesus was preaching it while being both on a mountain and on a
plain (KJV) at
the same time. The word plain (tópou pedinoú) simply means
level place (Wycliffe, 1985),
and is translated thusly in nearly all modern versions of the Bible. Since a mountain can have
level places on it, no one can assert
logically that Matthew 5:1 and Luke 6:17 are contradictory. I have been to the top of a mountain
in Anchorage, Alaska, that is so level
it is known as Flattop Mountain. To say Jesus stood on a level place on a
mountain is no oxymoron.

"A 17-year-old girl was killed in Oakland—"
Rain gathers on the roadway,
at that rippling
curb where circumstance
zebra-crosses fortune.
"shortly after performing a praise and worship dance—"
Ours is a city deadened to all
but its heavens; nerves
splay out in the water,
limp and deferring.
"at the funeral of two of her friends—"
In this whirling pool of
grit and incident,
I divine my reflection,
but I cannot see my face.
"14th and Harrison streets—"
Oakland is a word that
spills over the curb of our lips
like a poison for
the poor, the dark,
the feminine.
"Witnesses said there was some sort of fight in the street moments before—"
And to speak of silence,
to speak is senseless,
to speak at all, it seems,
is grave disservice.
But to ask is all I have:
Reginna, what pure gesture
can I divine?
"two men were seen shooting into a crowd—"
Morning rises and our city's
bloodful bodies pass through
readied to expire, to fall
beneath the roadway into fog.
"both drowned in a Stanislaus County Reservoir—"
Our souls are mirrored below
in a drowning dance, red-
spackled horizons from whom
speech is impossible.
" he argument erupted among a group of men playing dice—"
And to be in Oakland, is to
inhabit our especial duality:
We are each moment asking
our life's permission from a bullet
that has not yet driven through.
"A lot of teens were hanging outside, all dressed in white—"
To speak of silence,
to speak is senseless,
to speak at all, it seems,
is grave disservice
but without speech,
what pure gesture
can we divine?
"She died a short time later—"
And I think somehow
there is no there there
ever since Reginna is not there.
Oakland, a city deluged under pavement,
roadway only, a passage place between
here and there.
