PHOENIX — The Inventure Group is adding a new line of Hot Fries snacks under the Poore Brothers and Bob's Texas Style brands. The new products will be licensed with Bruce Foods and feature the Original Louisiana Hot Sauce brand.
"When I think of a perfectly balanced hot sauce — one with rich flavor and the right amount of heat — like most people I think of The Original Louisiana Hot Sauce," said Steve Sklar, senior vice-president of marketing for The Inventure Group. "When we started toying with the idea of introducing a hot fry product, we naturally thought of Louisiana Hot Sauce. We're excited to partner with them and are confident the new Hot Fries will be well received by consumers."
The new product is available in 3-oz bags and has a suggested retail price of between $1 and $1.29 each.
In addition to the Hot Fries, the Inventure Group is adding two new kettle-cooked potato chip varieties to the Poore Brothers brand in Mole and Habanero varieties. The products will be available in 8.5-oz bags with a suggested retail price between $2.99 and $3.29 each.

Just Keep Swimming- Safely!
Everyone loves to swim in the ocean! The salt of the sea and motion of the waves provide hours of fun and relaxation. But please bare in mind: the ocean is a wild force, controlled by the tides. While you're having fun on your Ocean City vacation, be sure you're being safe. Here are some tips from Shoreline Properties on staying safe in the ocean:
- Pay attention to the tides and roughness of the waves. If you don't think you can handle rougher waves, take a break from swimming. If you think you can, always keep your bearings. Keep your spot on the beach and a lifeguard in sight. Watch out for the people around you. Look ahead to the waves that are coming next. Always remain aware of your surroundings.
- Stay updated on the presence of riptides. Certain areas of the Ocean City beach are prone to riptides. If you are unsure if one could be near, ask a lifeguard. If you see people avoiding a certain area, stay away from that area: it is very probably a riptide. If you find yourself caught in a riptide, swim to the side, not toward the shore. If you swim sideways, you will free yourself from the rip current. From there, you can swim to shore.
- Never leave children unattended. Make sure they are always in your sight and easy to reach in an emergency. Children may not know their limits or understand that the water is too rough. Remove children from currents you do not think they can handle.
- Take breaks. You don't want to tire yourself. This will make it harder to swim if you find yourself caught in a particularly rough current. Even if you don't feel tired, be sure to take several breaks throughout the day. Enforce breaks for your children, especially since they will likely need more than you. Conserve your energy just in case the tide gets a little too rough.
- Please, please, please only swim when a lifeguard is present. It is far easier to lose control in the ocean than in a lake or pool. Even if you are a very good swimmer, please only swim when there is a professional who can help if something happens. The ocean does not care if you make it back to shore, but we at Shoreline Properties do.
If you follow these tips, we here at Shoreline are certain you will remain safe while swimming the day away. We love our ocean, but we love our guests even more. Now, head to the beach and enjoy all Ocean City has to offer!

Recently, I noticed that the beer fridge was a little low and in need of some craftiness. A quick trip to Roger Wilco (formerly the Wine Warehouse) remedied that situation. One of the bottles from my mixed six was the Goose Island India Pale Ale. Having had a lot of success with other Goose Island beers (i.e., the Harvest Ale, the 312 Urban Wheat Ale, the Matilda and the Sofie), I thought their IPA would be a safe bet..
Goose Island is a craft brewer steeped in the tradition of Midwestern mass produced beers. Founded in 1988 as a craft alternative, they have rolled out an impressive lineup of beers. In 2011, Anheuser-Busch upped their ownership from a 32.25% share of the Craft Brewers Alliance's 40% share to an outright purchase of all of Goose Island. While the purchase had been viewed with great hesitation as craft beer advocates feared that Goose Island would lose some of its craftiness as it was absorbed by a macro brewer. To date, I have found that the only change has been a greater availability as Goose Island has been added to Bud's distribution channel.
Here is what Goose Island has to say about the IPA:
Our India Pale Ale recalls a time when ales shipped from England to India were highly hopped to preserve their distinct taste during the long journey. The result is a hop lover's dream with a fruity aroma, set off by a dry malt middle, and long hop finish.
I found this beer to be…
- Appearance: Hazy, orange marmalade with light foam and lacing.
- Aroma: Sweet, with a big blast of citrus (mandarin oranges and apricots) followed by a lot of hops and pine cones.
- Taste: Just like it smelled with a nice balance of sweetness and hoppy tang. Like drinking an orange pine cone; but in a good way.
As with my other Goose Island experiences, I found this to be very drinkable. The flavors were well-balanced front to back and while awfully hoppy (it is an IPA after all), it wasn't overly bitter in the finish.

text: So we all know the importance of wearing sunscreen for the prevention of cancer and premature aging, but there are a few tips and tricks that will help you get the most out of your products and keep you and your family safer.Remember the 20-1-2 rule. For sunscreen to be effective, it must first properly absorb into the skin, so apply it 20 minutes prior to exposure. Most people do not apply enough product, so use a shot glass sized amount (One fluid ounce) when slathering up. Lastly, sunscreen must be reapplied every two hours to ensure its effectiveness. If you are in water, then reapply every hour. Sunscreen does expire. Most sunscreens do have an expiration date of three years stamped on the packaging. If you are properly applying sunscreen as often as you should though, one bottle or tube should never ever last you the entire season. If at any time a sunscreen becomes separated, watery, chunky or the smell changes, throw it out. Properly store your sunscreen. Sunscreen needs to be kept at room temperature to ensure your safety and the effectiveness of the product. Never leave sunscreen in your car or in direct sunlight as high temperatures breakdown and destroy the formulation, making it less effective in protecting your skin. Keep your sunscreen with you, as you need to apply it often anyhow. Keep it in your beach bag and in the shade, or throw it in your cooler. Try something new. Most people who avoid using sunscreen, say it is because they do not like the greasy or heavy feel of it. With new technologies and delivery systems there is a sunscreen for everyone. Spray sun protection is growing in popularity as it absorbs quickly and leaves little residue. Just make sure you are thorough in your application and always rub it in, even If the bottle says "No rub" and do not spray directly onto the face, rather spray it into your hands and apply with your fingertips. The cliché imagery of the lifeguard with the chalky white nose is also a thing of the past as formulations for physical sunscreen have advanced. Dry pressed or loose mineral sunscreens are light and can easily be used in conjunction with your makeup routine. Another advantage of physical sunscreens such as Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide is that they give immediate sun protection because they physically block and reflect UV rays. You can build your protection. A study conducted by the Department of Dermatology at the Bispebjerb Hospital in Copenhagen found that applying sunscreen three times daily built up enough product in the outer layers of skin to give a more prolonged protection factor. I recommend to my clients that a week before going on vacation to apply full body sunscreen morning, noon and just prior to going to bed. time now . A "base" of sunscreen is safe, a "base tan" is not.

Pacific Union International | Christies International Real Estate | Marin County | Q3 2011 Market Trends
The national and international news we are exposed to daily has been consistently volatile for the past three-to-four years. Q3 '11 marked both the worst quarter since '09 for the Dow Jones Industrial Average and a 160% increase in the VIX (volatility index). In Fall 2008, we experienced similar economically jarring news temporarily (October – February 2008) stalling our local real estate markets.
The good news is real estate is a local business! We do not necessarily follow, react or respond to national trends. While our clients' confidence, job security and investment strategies are very much influenced by national and international news stories, our local real estate results are fairly stable and certainly do not reflect the volatility of the national, international, political or economic unrest.
It is our feeling that Marin County housing prices will remain fairly stable for the next 15 – 18 months. We expect mortgage rates to remain in the five-percent (5%) range (in some loan products lower). As of August 31, 2011, the Marin County unemployment index was 7.8% v the California average of 11.9%. This means 92.2% of all those looking for work in Marin County are employed. We recognize a market recovery will be led by quality job creation, which will be followed by an increase in our clients' confidence.
Reflecting back to market conditions of Q3 '09 and Q3 '10, the Q3 '11 homes sold, average and median prices have remained fairly stable at +/- 10% changes (see chart below). In general, Marin County real estate market conditions are well off the pricing and homes sold from '06 through the first half of '08, but buyers with a five plus year investment perspective are seizing attractive opportunities in the market every day.
We have certainly benefited from more realistic sellers in the marketplace. This may be a result of access to plenty of meaningful comparable sales in the market as well as great examples of over-priced homes. Time on the market is clearly not a seller's friend – statistics from the MLS confirm that homes on the market for over 90 days sold for 89% off their original listing price. This means -$110,000 under original asking price on a $1 million home. Conversely, homes that sell in less than thirty (30) days on the market enjoy a sale price of nearly 98% of the original listing price. Pricing decisions in this market are paramount to achieving a timely sale and maximizing seller's proceeds.
Buyers in the market are very well educated, conversant on recent sales and new listing inventory – which by the way is well below last year's at this same time. We find buyers to be generally patient, focused, seeking value and not willing to make offers on overpriced listings. This makes the pool of qualified buyers keenly focused on the best priced inventory. Most buyers are approaching the primary home market as an investment in their home vs. speculation on an appreciating housing market.
We entertain ourselves internally by saying we feel like it has been Ground Hog Day every day for the past three years. However volatile the national and international news may be, we still see opportunity in our market every day for buyers and sellers. Real estate is a very local business – we have micro-markets in Marin County neighborhoods that are far more robust than others. I welcome the opportunity to visit with you about your specific needs, housing interest or the real estate markets in general.

Also presented at DEMO@15, San Francisco based Lusora Inc. introduced a suite of products intended to help monitor the health and safety of an increasingly older population. As opposed to the ever-growing number of products based on Wi-Fi technology, Lusora is jumping on the Zigbee bandwagon.
Lusora's LISA is a wireless personal security system that leverages the latest technologies to safeguard homes and families. The system has three main components: remote wireless sensor devices, a central hub that controls the devices and a Web-based remote viewing platform from which to program the devices and monitor the data they transmit. The company's technology solves a number of the installation, power and reliability problems associated with traditional wired security and monitoring systems by using the newly adopted 802.15.4 wireless protocol. 802.15.4 supports applications where being wired is impossible or impractical and where ultra low power and low cost is a requirement.
Lusora's light-switch camera and personal alert pendant, along with other LISA sensors placed throughout the home can be programmed individually through the LISA Viewing Platform to monitor the unique habits of the person or people living there. For example, if a bedroom door is not opened within a particular timeframe that is normal for the person, an alert can automatically be sent to the care-provider(s) via the Web interface, cellular
messaging or email.
According to Chris Shipley, executive producer of the DEMO conference:
Most technology companies seem to have a big blind spot when it comes to addressing the senior market. Lusora is one of the few that's planning ahead for the imminent explosion in the number of seniors and developing products that will give seniors one of the things they want most, the ability to continue living in their own homes.
And here we just thought it was an iPod Shuffle modified for older eyes.

Mistakes To Avoid When You Want More Free YouTube Subscribers
Are you a YouTuber who wants to grow their channel fast? With hundreds of YouTube channels being started every day, standing out on YouTube is now harder than ever before. You can work your hardest on your content, and still find that your views refuse to cross four digit figures. On a platform where people get millions of views and success stories are around every corner, how do you become one of those successes?
Having a committed group of YouTube subscribers may be exactly what you need if you find yourself feeling discouraged with the slow growth of your channel. Without free subscribers, and with good content, you can still hope that your channel can grow over time. It often does, but it also doesn't happen for many people. This is where free subscribers and free likes can give your channel the exposure it needs.
Why Get Free YouTube Subscribers?
A great way to give your YouTube channel an early push is with the help of YouTube subscribers. Ultimately, the number of subscribers your channel has, has a great say in how successful you appear on the platform. It can encourage real YouTube subscribers to subscribe to your channel as well. When done right, your YouTube subscribers can enable you to scale your YouTube channel faster than you expected.
When a potential YouTube subscriber comes across by video, they will stop to check your video's likes and views. They also look at the number of subscribers your channel has. If your channel looks like it has more subscribers, then this can give the appearance that you're someone many people follow and trust. This is turn, invites real YouTube subscribers to like your videos and subscribe to your content.
The key to successfully using YouTube subscribers to scale your YouTube channel is to consistently grow your channel over a designated period of time. If people find that you suddenly gained 100,000 followers overnight, then this can appear suspicious. When this happens, you can expect some people to pore through your content to understand why you gained so many subscribers so fast. If you don't have any viral pieces of content that can explain that growth, they can understand that the subscribers aren't authentic.
Instead, you can spread out your free YouTube subscribers to reach that same number, without it arousing any suspicion. SoNuker is a platform that allows you to do exactly that. With a steady growth of around ten to twenty followers each day, you can expect to see a consistent rise in your YouTube subscribers count. The speed at this happens, even though it is spread out over a period of time, is still exponentially faster when compared to scaling your channel naturally.
The reason behind this is that people already have enough good quality content from popular YouTube channels to enjoy. So if you want to draw their attention away to you, an efficient way of achieving this is with the illusion that you already have the attention you want. Essentially, it's the fake it till you make it energy, except it works to bring new YouTube subscribers, views and likes to your channel.
While getting too many YouTube subscribers too soon is a core mistake many people tend to make, it isn't the only one. Here is everything you should know about the mistakes you should avoid when getting YouTube subscribers, and why.
1. No Engagement From Subscribers
A channel with a million subscribers but no comments or likes on most videos, and maybe a few hundred views on most videos looks fishy, right? When you're getting YouTube subscribers, you need to also maintain the ratio between subscribers, likes, comments and views.
While comments and likes can vary between videos, they should show a trend. This usually comes in the form of seeing an average number of comments in every video. Your view count is always higher than the number of likes and comments your videos get. The number of likes your videos get will also usually be higher than the number of comments. Ideally, you should have more likes than dislikes on your video. Too many dislikes can reflect badly and dissuade YouTube viewers from subscribing to your channel.
With SoNuker, you can get not just YouTube subscribers, but also YouTube likes. This helps you maintain the balance between views and likes that you need, to give the appearance of a successful and fast-scaling channel.
2. Measure Your Expectations
Another factor you should consider taking into account is understanding what you're expecting from your YouTube subscribers. If you expect them to act like real subscribers, then you may be disappointed. Free YouTube subscribers can come in two forms.
The first of these are bots. These are YouTube channels that are created for the specific purpose of building the subscriber count for various YouTube channels. They tend to have either no profile pictures, or an obvious stock image. Many often leave behind spam comments on your videos. This can be dangerous, as it can immediately deter many people from subscribing to your channel. YouTube also has a strict policy against such accounts. So even if you want YouTube subscribers, avoid platforms that offer them through bots.
The other option is to directly interact with other YouTube content creators who are looking to scale and grow their channel in the same way you are. The YouTube subscribers you get may highly engage with your channel, but they are authentic accounts. Many will also leave you YouTube likes if you do the same for them.
Over time, the addition of such YouTube subscribers can enable your channel to gain the exposure you want. This is as the YouTube algorithm will start to realize that various authentic accounts are subscribing to your channel and liking your videos.
If you're worried about having a low number of comments on your videos as well, then consider asking your YouTube subscribers for help. On a platform like SoNuker, you can collaborate with other YouTube content creators to boost your YouTube channel's growth. When it comes to such exchanges, you should also consider that you're also expected to help other content creators as well.
3. What YouTube Subscribers Can Do For You
Unless you want to build your channel by solely relying on YouTube subscribers, chances are that you'll want real YouTube subscribers for your channel. The idea behind using YouTube subscribers should be to use the numbers to boost your channel's growth. This is turn will attract real YouTube subscribers who will from the on, engage with your content.
All you're doing when you get YouTube subscribers, is try to increase the exposure your content gets on the platform. The YouTube algorithm is unlikely to promote your content unless it finds a community that's interested in your content. And since there are popular content creators in nearly every niche on YouTube, this puts new content creators at a disadvantage.
If you're someone who has had a YouTube channel for a while but have found little success in bringing in the views and likes. Then you can also benefit from getting YouTube subscribers. If you find that you're not getting any more viewers, then chances are that your video is not being recommended to anyone and isn't getting enough exposure. A few YouTube subscribers every day over a designated period of time can get the algorithm to think that your content is getting exposure, and therefore needs to be promoted.
4. Build Your Traction
Becoming successful on YouTube ultimately comes down to the quality of your content. You can have millions of YouTube subscribers, but without high quality content, you won't get the traction you want from real viewers. And since real viewers and steady growth is what can enable you to reach the platform's milestones, it's a great way to get the momentum going for your channel.
Once you've developed a certain amount of exposure and traction on the channel. monetize your content and even partner up with YouTube. Getting that initial momentum started is what can separate your YouTube channel from failure and success. And this is where free YouTube subscribers can help you.
At the same time, you shouldn't become too reliant on YouTube subscribers, but rather use their help to fuel your success.
5. Don't Forget About the Content
The content you create is what will help you to build an enduring channel on YouTube. Focusing on your content, and using YouTube subscribers side by side to grow that content's visibility can set you up for success. You should always be looking for that limit, behind which real views, subscribers and likes follow.
However, many content creators often forget to create good content. Instead, they rely on the numbers of YouTube subscribers and YouTube likes to give them the appearance of success. When this happens, it can become apparent to real viewers are users of the platform that your visibility is from free subscribers and likes. If this happens, many potential subscribers may become wary of engaging with your content.
If you do have high quality content however, you can successfully leverage the numbers you gain through your YouTube subscribers and likes, to growth for your channel.
6. Not Using Other Ways to Grow Your Channel
While YouTube subscribers and YouTube likes can help you grow your channel, it's not the only option available to you. Despite it being one of the best ways to grow your YouTube channel, you'll find more success when you use it alongside other strategies.
So if you're already getting YouTube subscribers, you can also use strategies like giveaways, contests and coupons to gain more real subscribers for your channel. Alongside drawing the attention of potential subscribers for your channel, you also ideally want to retain their attention. This increases the chances of them subscribing to your channel.
Using giveaways, thanking people for helping your channel grow, and finding other ways to engage with your viewers can enable faster growth for your channel.
How Long Should You Keep Getting Free YouTube Subscribers to Grow Your Channel?
When you first get your YouTube subscribers to your channel, you may feel excited that the momentum is finally going to get going for your channel. So let's say a month goes by and your channel is growing better than you expected. Is this the right time to stop getting help from YouTube subscribers.
The right answer is that how long you should keep relying on YouTube subscribers and YouTube likes are dependent on various factors.
- Is your content in a popular niche, and can it attract sufficient views on its own right now?
- If your content is in a popular niche, are you confident that you can pull crowds from the popular content creators in your niche?
- If your content is in a more obscure niche, then how much traction is your content getting from real viewers?
- Do you feel sufficiently confident that you can keep growing your YouTube channel without the help of YouTube subscribers.
Individual scenarios do have a say in how long you should keep relying on YouTube subscribers. However, whether your content still needs a boost to gain traction is a determinant factor as well.
This means that you can rely on and choose to stop relying on YouTube subscribers whenever you want. You can also ask for YouTube subscribers later on, should you require it.
With SoNuker, you can flexibly rely on free YouTube subscribers. See your numbers rise for a month, and then if think that you can continue to grow your channel by yourself, then great! Sometimes, people use YouTube subscribers and YouTube likes for the specific purposes of promoting a single, or a few videos.
How you need exposure and how you can use YouTube subscribers to grow your channel is dependent on you. However, should you ever find yourself needing the help of YouTube subscribers and YouTube likes, then you can always rely on SoNuker to help you.
Why Do People Choose Free YouTube Subscribers?
The road to success can be hard, and in YouTube, the difficulty is exacerbated by the competition. People often rely on YouTube subscribers as a way to level the playing field, especially if they are new content creators.
This is as getting noticed on a platform like YouTube can be exceptionally difficult. However, once you get noticed and the YouTube algorithm starts to recommend and promote your videos, success can follow naturally. And through SoNuker, you can find authentic followers who you can also help on turn.
By choosing to not just choose free YouTube subscribers, you can also control your success to a certain extent. Consider building realistic expectations about how YouTube subscribers can help you grow your channel. That way, you can find yourself scaling and growing faster than you ever expected.
The right YouTube followers and consistent YouTube likes can help you set your channel up for success. Instead of waiting for the YouTube algorithm to notice your content, why not invite that exposure in yourself.
Using YouTube subscribers slowly, such as getting ten to twenty subscribers per day can help your channel grow. This gives the impression of real growth, and can encourage real viewers to subscribe to your channel.
At the same time, you can't forget about getting likes on your videos either. Likes and comments show engagement for your channel, and are key indicators of growth. If your videos can't yet get the likes you need, then YouTube likes can solve the problem for you.
When you use the SoNuker platform to get YouTube subscribers, you don't have to worry about bots or spam comments consistently appearing on your videos. Instead, you can rely on your YouTube subscribers to give you YouTube likes as well. For YouTube, likes and views become extremely important. Having more likes than dislikes and a steady stream of new subscribers is everything you need to grow your channel on YouTube.
You can also rely on SoNuker to help you learn how to use our service to better fuel your success. Scale the speed of your channel's growth and become a popular YouTuber with the help of free subscribers. You can also stop using our services any time you feel you don't need the anymore, or use them to promote certain videos or pieces of content.
While there are many mistakes you can make when getting YouTube subscribers, exercising healthy caution can help you avoid them. From choosing the right platform, like SoNuker, to provide you with YouTube subscribers, to knowing how to leverage the numbers to fuel your success. Start building the road to your YouTube dreams with SoNuker today.

Living on a Farm
5 comments:
A pleasure for them experiencing life away from the city. A value that they cannot forget as time goes by.ReplyDelete
It's really nice to be in a farm. Fresher air, softer surface and animals you could play with.ReplyDelete
Such a lovely activity for the kids to enjoy and engage in. They are thought how to value hard labour, appreciate what they have, enjoy the countryside, enjoy the simple life, be responsible, take care of the animals, learn to be more compassionate and so much more. This is what being in a farm does to kids who see all that is happening there. I remember going every summer break to my ancestral farm in the province. I learned how to love and be a champion for animals' rights and welfare. I learned how to tend to their pens and clean up their messes. It really taught me how to value what I have and be more appreciative in life. So much to learn just by visiting a farm!ReplyDelete
I grew up in a big city & then moved to a rural community at the end of grade school. I hated it then, but I appreciate it now. My kids love to go & visit their grandparents, who live on a mini farm & have a variety of animals.ReplyDelete
I wish I had been on a farm growing up, many of my cousins were raised on or near farms in Sweden! I think it is a great experience for kids!ReplyDelete

Police appeal after Clitheroe sports pitch damage
Now, the pitch will be closed for several days, while council groundsmen rectify the damage.
Up to 12 adults were spotted turfing up at the Edisford Road pitch – one of five next to the car park – on Wednesday night. Police are investigating the incident.
The site was closed after heavy rain and the football kickabout caused significant damage to the pitch's saturated grass surface.
Security chains holding the goals together were later found to have been removed by bolt-cutters.
Now the police and Ribble Valley Borough Council, which owns the site, are appealing for information in a bid to catch the culprits and recover repair costs.
Stuart Carefoot, chairman of Ribble Valley Borough Council's community services committee, said: "A group of adults were spotted entering the site without permission and having an impromptu kickabout on a pitch that was rain-soaked.
"In doing so, the grass has been cut to shreds and the pitch rendered unusable. This thoughtless and selfish act means youngsters and authorised users will be prevented from using the pitch until the it is repaired. We are determined to catch the culprits and have reported the matter to the police."
Anyone with information about the incident is asked to call the police in confidence on 101.

I am known to be a humorous patrician, and one that loves a eup of hot wine with not a drop of allaying Tibor in't; said to be something imperfect in favouring the first complaint; hasty and tinder-like upon too trivial motion ;) The pose in this passage is the expression, "the first complaint." What is "the first complaint"? At one time we conceived the sprightly, warm-hearted old senator, among his other failings, "cried out of women," and referred to what Ben Jonson as obscurely terms "the primitive work of darkness" ("The Devil is an Ass," Act II. Sc. 2); but
what militates against this supposition, and the wonderfully acute emendation of Mr Collier's annotator, -"the thirst complaint," also is the doubt whether "complaint" obtained the sense of malady or ailment until many years after these plays were written. If it did not bear this meaning in Shakespeare's day, the only explanation of " something imperfect, in favouring the first com plaint," appears to be that he was too apt to be led away by first impressions ; to act rather upon impulse than from reflection.

Challenges facing the Islamic financial services industry
Welcome address by His Excellency Mr Anwar Khalifa Al Sadah,
Deputy Governor of the Bahrain Monetary Agency,
at the 8th AAOIFI Annual Conference on Islamic Banking 2006,
Manama, 11 June 2006.
Anwar Khalifa Al Sadah: Challenges facing the Islamic financial services industry
Your Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen,
First, may I take this opportunity to express my thanks to AAOIFI and especially to the Chairman of the
Board of Trustees of AAOIFI, H.E. Shaikh Ebrahim bin Khalifa Al-Khalifa, for the opportunity to speak
here today. No doubt, AAOIFI has performed an invaluable role in enhancing and standardising
accounting and auditing practices in theIslamic finance industry, thereby giving credibility and
international acceptance to the financial statements ofIslamic institutions. The BMA recognises the
importance of AAOIFIs role as a standard setter in the development of theIslamic financial industry.
In fact; the Agencysvision to develop the Islamic financial sector as a major player in the global
economy would not have been possible without AAOIFI. Bahrain is the hub of Islamic finance, and this
has been achieved through the proactive relationship between the BMA and the industry participants.
A host of other institutions must also be mentioned for their important work in the growth and
development ofIslamic finance. The BMA recognises the role IFSB plays in harmonising regulatory
practices, and also the work of theInternational Islamic Financial Market, the International Islamic
Rating Agency, and the Liquidity Management Centre.
In the short time available to me this morning, I wish to look back over the last fifteen years since the
establishment of AAOIFI in 1991 and to look forward at the challenges facing the Islamic financial services industry.
Since its inception, AAOIFI has issued 24 financial accounting statements and standards, five auditing
standards, four governance standards, 17 Sharia standards and two codes of ethics. We and other
players in the market including IDB and other Islamic banks have worked hard with AAOIFI on
developing new standards and applying the AAOIFI standards on financial institutions. All Islamic
banks in Bahrain are required to follow AAOIFI standards and many other regulators in the region
either recommend AAOIFI standards or have based their own standards upon AAOIFI standards.
We also appreciate and value the proactive role played by the IDB in developing the industry. As far as regulatory issues are concerned, the Agency, in consultation with the industry, also developed a regulatory framework in 2001 for Islamic institutions, known as the Prudential Information andRegulations for Islamic Banks or "PIRI", which implements both the standards developed by AAOIFIand the Basel Committee''s various guidelines. We realised that Islamic banks needed a credible andBasel compliant framework if Islamic banks were to become more than niche players and interact inconventional markets. The PIRI framework covers:
Capital adequacy;
Asset quality, including large exposures and related party exposures;
Regulatory treatment of investment accounts;
Prudential requirements concerning liquidity management;
Analysis of earnings quality; and
Corporate governance and risk management systems.
The PIRI rules became the backbone of the BMA Islamic Banking Rulebook in 2005.
Also the BMA, since it became the single regulator for the entire Financial System in 2002, has given
special attention to Takaful insurance by developing a healthy environment for Islamic insurance
companies to work in. The Agency introduced a comprehensive regulatory framework for Takaful and
Retakaful in 2005 for the business of Islamic insurance licensees; a framework that follows best
international standards and yet accommodates the special nature of these companies. BMA Islamic
Insurance licensees must comply with the accounting and Sharia standards set by AAOIFI, like their
banking counterparts. There are currently 12 Takaful companies licensed in Bahrain. Global annual
BIS Review 61/2006 1
revenues for Takaful are over $2bn with forecasted growth to $11bn in 2015, based on the current
growth rates of 8% per annum for general Takaful and 20% for Family Takaful.
For banks, we are working on applying Basel 2 in an Islamic banking context, and will be releasing
new Basel 2 compliant capital adequacy rules later this year for implementation in 2008. We have also very recently streamlined our bank licensing requirements, meaning now that Islamic and conventional banks are divided into two categories, wholesale and full commercial banks. The wholesale category replaces the investment and offshore categories of licence. This is not a re-labelling exercise, but reflects the Agencys focus on the regulation of institutions according to their activities. I would urge attendees to refer to the Agencys website for details of the single licensing framework. The new Volume 4 of the Rulebook introduces a comprehensive regulatory framework for investment business,
in line with international standards. Volume 4 provides for 3 categories of investment firms licensee,
depending on the nature of activities they undertake.
Category 1 investment firms may undertake all types of investment banking activities (except
accepting deposits or investment accounts). Category 2 firms may undertake all types of activities
except dealing as principal. Finally, Category 3 firms are limited to advising and arranging deals. All
three categories may handle Islamic financial instruments such as Sukuk, either in a trading or advisory capacity.
Capital adequacy is however, not the only area where we have worked with AAOIFI. In 2001 theBahrain Monetary Agency (BMA) began issuing Islamically structured short-term government bills (Al-Salam Sukuk) and three and five year Ijara leasing certificates. In doing so, the BMA became the first central bank to issue such Sharia compliant certificates.
As at March 2006, approximately US$1.3bn of Ijara and Sukuk certificates were outstanding, providing much needed Shari'a investment and liquidity possibilities for Islamic institutions and conventional banks alike in the local market.
The BMA has also developed a standard murabaha agreement for its own dealings with banks, and launched last year standard murabaha contracts for banks dealing in commodities, notably through the London Metals Exchange ("LME"). This process has culminated in the BMA signing an MoU with the LME in July 2003, and subsequently signing an MoU with the Tokyo Commodities Exchange to develop a framework to enable institutions and brokers to conduct Shari'a compliant transactions on the Exchange.
Corporate Governance is the other major arena where we have worked with and supported AAOIFI.
The Agency recognises the need for explicit rules for banks to act clearly in the interest of investment account holders and demonstrate how that responsibility fits in with the banks responsibility to its stakeholders. That is why we have required banks to follow not only the auditing standards set by AAOIFI but also its governance standards. The role of the Shari'a Boards needs to be further developed by applying greater and more effective governance standards. Also, the subject of Shariacompliance needs to show further convergence. Sharia judgements (or Fatwas) are as important toIslamic finance as accounting standards or legal opinions. That is why we support the role of AAOIFIsSharia Board in harmonising the Fatwas of individual banks. There must be uniformity of not justaccounting and regulatory standards, but also of Sharia judgments.
We will continue to work withAAOIFI in this area in the future.
However, Islamic banking is dominated by small institutions. If Islamic banking is to grow successfully, we do not need more small Islamic banks. We need bigger Islamic banks that can compete successfully and handle large projects. We need consolidation and convergence in the industry. The need for convergence applies not just to the number and size of banks, but also to convergence of procedures and practices. There is clear evidence that we are experiencing a convergence of regulatory and auditing standards for Islamic banks and their products. The regulators, the auditors, the standard setters and the Islamic institutions banks have a mutual interest in the continuing development of a stable well governed and sound Islamic financial services industry. In this respect, the next fifteen years are likely to bring greater challenges, rewards and greater penetration by Islamic institutions of the global market.
In conclusion, I wish you all, a very successful conference.
Thank you for your kind attention.

The exhibition, Points of View, brings together a selection of artwork from Master of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Fine Arts students of the University of Nevada Las Vegas, Department of Art.
Students in the programs come from a wide variety of backgrounds, and each has been accepted after a portfolio review. At each level, Masters or Bachelors, students are directed to search out and refine their own point of view as an artist. Whether of a very personal source or from a broader, cultural setting, each point of view has progressed through concept to realization. However derived, individual viewpoints are given visual form, tested, refined and visualized again.
The result may take the form of a thoughtfully fashioned painting, photograph, print, drawing, sculpture, assemblage, digital media or any combination or variation thereof. And with such these young artists are making known their Points of View.
Though broad in their investigations, the cohesiveness comes of their diversity. Paintings, photography, mixed media and digital media works are included in this exhibition.

Beech Mountain Views
More beauty from this weekend past...
Wild turkeys on the run way up on
Beech Mountain. I imagine that they
have a 'private' home :)
Golden yellows against a beauteous
blue sky!
My favorite! A typical curvy road
in the mountains of North Carolina
(with misty mountains
peeking through around every
curve here.) Amazingly compelling;
a storybook world indeed.
Water rolling off a mossy rock
onto the browning fall leaves...
Enjoy friends :)

I do love misty mountains. Beautiful, lg! I don't know why I don't live up there - are there any jobs? (I hear they won't hire you unless you were born to the area.) :)ReplyDelete
Lynn~ Actually Samaritan's Purse Ministries and App State U hire...also if you are qualified you will be hired...This place is a touristy area so there a jobs at Ski places; restaurants and the like! At Beech Mountain (where this weeks' photos are from) locals are employed as to travel up a big mountain in the winter is not always the easiest thing...though people mangage here.ReplyDelete
My dh (dear husband) works at home from the PC~so there's always that. Local hospitals hire as well.
Maybe the turkey will be gone soon?! (Oh...sorry.)!ReplyDelete

Second Place: Red Light Romeo
Third Place: Silver Bullets
If you doubted that Richmond loves its yacht rock, look no further than this category, where Three Sheets to the Wind has dominated votes in recent years with its smooth deflowering of AM gold staples from the '70s and '80s. Need your Christopher Cross or Hall & Oates fix? Topper Dandy, Danny Marnier, Sonny Pockett and crew have your back, not to mention a stunning set of crisp white pants ready to set sail. Red Light Romeo (not to be confused with another local band, Red Light Rodeo and its country soul) plays your favorite rock and pop hits with sports bar gusto -- these guys will do anything to rock the party. Impressively, they are capable of playing such diverse artists as Johnny Cash, One Republic, Taylor Swift, Blink 182, and even Slipknot in one show. Silver Bullets bills itself as "Richmond's most diverse cover band," and a look at the website may confirm this: The band plays music as varied as Nazareth, UB40, Rida and Bruno Mars. Oh, it does "Jesse's Girl" by Rick Springfield for good measure.

Anti-filibuster liberals face a Senate math problem
Sen. Joe Manchin clarified on Tuesday that he continues to support an effective 60-vote requirement for most legislation.
There's a reason Senate Democrats haven't changed the Senate's filibuster rules so far: They don't have the votes yet. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and his deputies are going to have to work aggressively to get them.
Achieving lockstep unity among a diverse 50-member caucus to change the rules for a tradition-bound institution is going to be a challenge, to say the least. Just look at Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), who made waves on Sunday by expressing openness to enforcing a "talking filibuster" that requires senators to remain on the floor objecting to a bill, making it more painful for the minority to demand a 60-vote threshold to pass most legislation.
Manchin's comments elated progressives and forced the White House to reiterate its "preference" to preserve the filibuster despite a growing number of Democratic bills stalling in the upper chamber. But the gregarious centrist clarified on Tuesday that he continues to support an effective 60-vote requirement for most legislation.
He thinks either the majority needs to come up with 60 votes to overcome a filibuster or the minority to come up with 41 votes to sustain it at some point in the process, effectively preserving the chamber's supermajority requirement. And he acknowledged the touchy status of the filibuster in his own party.
"Jiminy Christmas, buddy. That's why I even hate to say anything to you," Manchin said in a Tuesday interview.
"I want to make it very clear to everybody: There's no way that I would vote to prevent the minority from having input into the process in the Senate. That means protecting the filibuster," he added. "It must be a process to get to that 60-vote threshold."
Statistically speaking, so far the Senate GOP has not filibustered anything this year. That's likely to change as soon as Schumer starts putting House-passed legislation on the floor that lacks the 10 Republicans needed to move forward.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said that Democratic senators are "fed up" with the idea that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell gets veto power over Washington's agenda but that they will test Republicans with votes on the coming weeks before pursuing any changes: "We need some floor experience first."
At the same time, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) is continuing his years-long push for filibuster reform and said he's talked to every Senate Democrat, including Manchin, about his ideas.
"There is a tremendous sense in the caucus that Mitch McConnell has profoundly abused the 60-vote motion to close debate," Merkley said on Tuesday evening.
But Manchin said that before Democrats start talking about finding a way around their math problem, he wants to see an effort at bipartisanship. Notably, he's said he would prefer to see an infrastructure bill — President Joe Biden's next major spending priority — passed with Republican support, not using the budget reconciliation process to permit passage with a simple Senate majority.
"I haven't seen an effort by our leadership to go sit down and work with them. No one's making any effort at all. They just assume it's going to be holy warfare," Manchin said.
He said his comments on Sunday were given too much hype: "They must have read a lot more into that than just saying: 'Let's look at any way we can to preserve the filibuster.'"
Despite Manchin's seemingly unshakable position, there's an undeniable swell among Senate Democrats to do away with the Senate's supermajority requirement to pass most bills. Among those publicly advocating changes to the filibuster in recent days are Amy Klobuchar and Tina Smith of Minnesota and Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada.
And now that they've approved a $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, Senate Democrats are weighing their next move with their slim majority. Many progressive bills passed by the House, like election reform, police reform or new LGBTQ protections, do not have the support in the Senate at the moment to become law.
Schumer is likely to put those bills up for votes anyway to demonstrate that Republicans oppose the policy shifts, he said in an interview over the weekend. That public display of insufficient GOP buy-in for changes could be the first step toward building a case that the filibuster needs overhauling in order to enact the rest of Biden's agenda.
"We're going to figure out a way. It's a passion of mine to get [election reform] done, when you see what they're doing in the states to change voting rights," Schumer said. "Everything's on the table. We have to. What is not an option is not getting bold things done."
Manchin and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) are the most open opponents of changing the filibuster, though several other centrist Democratic senators have reservations. Biden himself also has not endorsed changing the filibuster, although the White House's Monday response did not rule out a shift toward rules reform.
Republicans are not confident that Democratic traditionalists can be the dam to hold back a sweeping change of the Senate's rules.
"I'm not holding my breath that they're going to save us or the Senate," said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) of Manchin and Sinema. "There's going to be an incredible amount of pressure on them."
Sinema, in fact, would prefer to overwrite previous filibuster changes to reinstate the 60-vote requirement for nominations that Democrats first eased in 2013 and Republicans removed for Supreme Court picks in 2017. Manchin opposed those moves, and Democrats only changed the rules in 2013 after the GOP blocked a series of nominees — votes that helped build support in the Democratic caucus to make a fundamental shift to the Senate.
"My position on the filibuster has been steady my entire career," Sinema said in a February interview. "I would always oppose efforts to eliminate the filibuster."
If Sinema is open to more modest reforms, she hasn't said so yet. She said in a recent letter to a constituent that she supports the 60-vote threshold for "all Senate actions."
The talking filibuster essentially would require the minority party to hold the floor while objecting to a bill, with a supermajority of 60 votes required for the majority party to overrule it. The majority party could also wait for exhaustion to kick in and, whenever minority senators could no longer hold the floor, overpower the filibuster with a simple 51-vote majority. 46 Senate Democrats supported it in 2011, including Manchin, though many senators' views have changed since then.
Manchin's support for a 60-vote threshold to continue, then, would eliminate the central reform envisioned by a classic talking filibuster. Former Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) proposed decreasing the number of votes needed to overrule the talking filibuster, depending on how long the obstruction goes on.
Democrats might be able to change the filibuster rules in 2023, provided they pick up Senate seats with anti-filibuster candidates such as Pennsylvania Lt. Gov. John Fetterman. But waiting is a risk as well: Democrats hold majorities in both chambers now, and losing even the House during the midterms would make a filibuster overhaul irrelevant.
So despite the considerable obstacles to changing the rules, the Democratic caucus' filibuster critics continued to make their case.
"McConnell is determined to exploit the filibuster and fight progress on the most urgent crises facing our nation," Cortez Masto said Tuesday in endorsing a talking filibuster requirement. "He should have to stand on the Senate floor and be transparent about his obstruction."

virtual office di jakarta .adv - Wamena is the only town in the center mount, Papua. Officially, Wamena belongs to Jayawijaya regency, it is about 585 kilometers away from the capital of Jayapura. This town is located at a beautiful valley named baliem valley or also known in foreign literature called Agung valley. This valley is a place for inhabitants local tribe of Papua.
Wamena's name comes from the Dani tribe language 'wam' which means boar/pig and 'ena' means tamed. If you visit this town, you would see housewives with their pig pets. According to local tradition, pigs are family's treasure. Pig (wam) is also used for dowry to marry a local woman.
This remote location attracts only the tourists with certain intention who want to visit Wamena. Not only rich culture, Wamena also has many natural attractions. One of them is Haberna lake. The lake is quite far from Wamena. Around 48 kilometers up hill towards Jayawijaya Mount.
If you have seen a movie Denias, Senandung di Atas Awan, one of the landscapes is Haberna lake. This lake original name is Yuginopa and located in Jayawijaya Mount area. Height is 3.225 mdpl, this lake is considered to be the highest lake in Indonesia. From this lake, we could see the great height of Wilhelmia Peak (present name is Trikora Peak, but the locals prefer to call it with its original name) with bare eyes. The Trikora Peak where the khatulistuwa snow is at.
Around the lake, there is a big savana. Home for ants that can be used for alternative medication hung on some trees. If we're lucky, we could find endemic birds of papua, cendrawasih and astrapia. And the almost extinct black orchid we could still see there.
The temperature in the Haberna lake is surely cold. It can reach almost zero degrees during the night time. Durng the day time, it is around eight degrees. That is the reason that dew is always on the grass all day long.
This lake is quiet. That is because of the cost to get here is very high. There is no public transportation so the only way to get here is chartering a vehicle from Wamena.(intisari-online.com)

Andrew Reynolds: The other reason that I wanted to give you those was because I wanted you to come along this weekend. It's probably just worth reminding ourselves actually why we're here this weekend.
Narrator: What makes Great Ormond Street Hospital special?
It's got lots of toys and it doesn't smell funny.
Is it that we bring hope to hundreds of thousands of sick children, many with rare and life threatening illnesses. Or that we provide practical help to desperately worried families.
My nurse is called Linda and she makes me laugh.
Narrator: Or simply that our nurses and doctors offer some of the best specialist care in the country. But what makes Great Ormond Street even more special are the people who help us day in, day out, so we can give desperately ill children that extra support and love.
My mummy lives with me here.
Please find a special place in your heart for Great Ormond Street Hospital and the children we help. Thank you.
Andrew Reynolds: What I'd like to do is invite on stage a gentleman from Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity. Would you please give a warm hand to Mr. Matt Forrest.
Matt, as you know, my friends and I have got together this weekend. It seems like only yesterday we were at Wembley doing this, about 18 months ago we raised some money. And it was particularly special to me, when you invited me up recently to the opening of that actual room, when we walked in those double doors and we thought, "Christ! We actually bought this! We paid for this. We made this whole thing happen!"
Matt Forrest: Absolutely. You've actually bought and people like yourselves bought, from the last Boot Camp an entire multi-bed ward at Great Ormond Street. This ward was opened last year and every single brick in the building was raised from people like you and people like Andrew.
Andrew Reynolds: Just amazing to see. Now not to be outdone, we thought we'd give it another go. So Matt, if you bear with me a second, we've got a little something again for you. Got another big check for you. Ladies and gentlemen, we've actually raised £400,000.
Just take a couple photographs with this guy from the photography studio. Thanks. £400,000! That's just amazing isn't it? Absolutely fantastic. Shall we just pop this here for a second?
Matt Forrest: Wow. What can I say? Can I just say a very personal thank you to Andrew Reynolds because I think this is one of the biggest friends that Great Ormond Street has ever had, to be honest with you. I mean, this is really…this moves mountains, this sort of money. We need to raise, at Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital, over £50 million every single year. The reason we need to do that is because we're a specialist hospital. We're not just treating for general conditions. We're treating kids from all over the UK, and indeed abroad, for some of the rarest and most complex conditions. Some of those conditions can't be treated elsewhere in this country. And we have those facilities under one roof. And there's a simple reason why we have those facilities under one roof and that's because of people like Andrew Reynolds and obviously people like you. Because every penny that you've contributed this weekend to being here at this conference is helping those children to get better. It's as simple as that.
We can't express our thanks enough to you. Over the next sort of five years, two-thirds of the hospital is being rebuilt. That will enable Great Ormond Street to continue to offer paediatric specialist care for generations to come. And the bottom line is, that kids come into Great Ormond and for some of them, or indeed for a significant percentage of them, it is their last hope. And thanks to people like yourself and to events like this, we get to send them home. So thank you very much indeed. As Andrew said before, the making money and the sort of contributions from individuals – it's here to see. This money is made up from lots of contributions from people like yourself and we are exceptionally grateful. Thank you very much indeed.
Andrew Reynolds: Shall I just give you a hand off with this? You brought the van did you? Thanks very much. Let's give him a hand.

Surgeries are major medical procedures in which a doctor attempts to correct an injury or disorder through invasive means. Due to the painful sensation of incisions, patients are put into a coma during major surgical procedures. This coma temporarily "shuts down" the patient's body, rendering them unconscious. They are not able to feel, see, hear or remember the act of surgery.
It is the job of an anesthesiologist, a doctor that specializes in supervising anesthesia, to administer the coma-inducing drug. Anesthesia is a mixture of different gasses such as nitrous oxide, sevoflurane, ether, etc. These gasses are inhalable yet dangerous if not administered properly.

Below is my column in the Washington Post on the best course for the House managers in securing witnesses. The column was posted before the Bolton leak, which may now secure the needed four votes of swing Republican senators. However, Article II is as dead as Dillinger. Indeed it was dead on arrival. The two days of White House argument wiped out what little support existed for the charge given the decision to rush this impeachment and then impeach a president for raising executive privileges and immunities. The strongest material of the White House was directed at this exceedingly weak and unwarranted article of impeachment. Democratic senators speak a great deal of the need for bipartisanship . . . for Republicans. It is time for those same senators to show that they are equally expected and capable of putting aside party for principle. It is time for Democratic senators to join in the call to reject Article II.
Here is the column:
Famed economist John Kenneth Galbraith once described politics as "the art of choosing between the disastrous and the unpalatable." Those words could not more aptly describe the choice now facing the House managers who lost this case before it began. Not because of the Republican majority but because of its own historic blunder in rushing the impeachment forward on an incomplete record. It now must make a choice between the disastrous in simply staying the course to certain acquittal or the unpalatable in admitting the blunder and offering a compromise.
Thus far, the suggestions of a compromise has centered on an unlikely horse trade of a witness like former National Security Adviser John Bolton for Hunter Biden. However, such a compromise does not address the separate institutional concern of some senators, which likely includes the four swing senators. For them, the threshold issue is not the inclusion of witnesses in the Senate but their omission by the House.
This week, a key Republican senator, Lisa Murkowski (R., Alaska), indicated that she was not inclined to call witnesses that the House failed to pursue in its rushed vote.
The decision is now with the House managers. They can either just grab the face time on national television or they can move to deal with its blunder and try to resuscitate this case. It might be able to do so but it will have to offer more than a witness swap.
A better compromise might be found in the two articles themselves. To put it simply, it may be time to dismiss Article 2. The obstruction of Congress article was dead on arrival but its dismissal could allow the Senate to go on the record in opposition to the House handling of this impeachment. It just might be enough to open a path for witnesses on Article 1 and abuse of power.
The House destroyed any chance for an obstruction article when made an impeachment by Christmas its overriding priority despite warnings that it would effectively hand over an incomplete case to not just the other house but the opposing party.
The short period set by the house did not allow time for a challenge to the House demand and effectively made the seeking of judicial review a "high crime and misdemeanor." When Congress demands documents or, presidents often have objections based on the inherent immunities or privileges of their office. Both Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton were able to not only seek judicial review but take their appeals all the way to the Supreme Court before facing impeachment. Nixon soon resigned after losing that case.
There are valid presidential claims of privilege to be raised by President Trump in calling his former White House Counsel or National Security Adviser to discuss direct communications with him in the Oval Office.
If the House had simply gone to court to enforce a subpoena, it would have forced a review of such privilege questions. Even before the impeachment vote, Bolton indicated his interest in testifying but it would require a subpoena. The House however refused to issue such a subpoena or take other reasonable steps to secure evidence. Magnifying this mistake was the decision of the House to withdraw the subpoena issued for Charles Kupperman, a deputy to Bolton. Like Bolton, Kupperman indicated that he might testify but went to court for review of the subpoena. Before the House could rule, the House mysteriously pulled the subpoena. Judge Richard Leon seemed nonplussed in dismissing the case, stating dryly "the House clearly has no intention of pursuing" the witness.
It is time of the Democrats to acknowledge the blunder in the rushed vote. Call it a constitutional penalty. In hockey, you lose a player in a powerplay. In football, you lose downs or yards or possession.
The Senate could similarly cry foul and dismiss Article 2 while moving forward on Article 1 with limited witnesses. While there are valid arguments for leaving the House with the incomplete record that it handed over to the Senate, any House failure does not relieve the Senate of its own obligations. The Senate could allow a limited number of witnesses while stipulating a fixed schedule for testimony, including any litigation over privilege arguments that should have been addressed in the House investigation.
The House managers must now decide if they are trying to score political points or win a case. If it is the latter, they need to honestly and decisively deal with their own failure. Neither side will be delighted with such a compromise, but it would allow the Senate to protect its institutional interests while allowing the House to prove the primary allegations in the case.
In other words, it may be time to pick the unpalatable over the disastrous for both Houses. It is time to shoot Article 2 and allow witnesses.
