MofosWorldWide Review
We men want more. That is the reality of it all. We are not satisfied ever with what we get and are always on the lookout for looking out for more. We go by the principle that we should cast our nets much wider in the sea to not only catch more fishes but also catch some different kinds of fishes. We apply this analogy in our lives, especially when it comes to sex. We would bang possibly every woman we could get our hands on. And when we say every woman, we are talking about different kinds of woman. All from different countries, and different races. Wouldn't it just be great to pack our bags and travel the world just to find some really hot and sexy women and fuck them all night long? But is that possible? Is it possible to travel across the world just to fuck women? Not really. Apart from the fact that there are responsibilities and no one has the time to do that, there is also the fact that not everyone could possibly afford to just travel the world. So, what do you do in that case? How about watching porn instead! That makes a lot more sense and also burns a far lesser hole in the pocket.
But there is a problem there too. If you are looking to find girls of all different nationalities and races, you must search for them on multiple websites. That could be really pissing off while you are so hard and horny to find women to do so. But there is some relief for you! Now you will be able to find some of the hottest chicks across the globe all in one website. And that website is MofosWorldwide. So, get rid of that passport of yours and do not worry about spending your hard-earned money anymore, because MofosWorldwide will be doing all the travel for you. They will find the hottest chicks just for you. This means you can compare all different kind of girls from across the globe and their skills all in one website.
So, if you are in a mood for some Brazilian ass and watching that ass get pounded then you will find it right here. Or what if you want some Indian woman who can ride a cock, then they have got that here too. Think of it and you will find it here. And if you browse porn often then you will be aware that Mofos Network is one of the best porn networks out there and they always have lined up the best girls and also offer the best service. You will find all of this on MofosWorldwide too. Read our review further to know more about this website.
Design and Features
The layout and design of this website are just simply amazing. Everything about the website is very clean looking and very elegant. If you visit websites on the Mofos Network often, then you will understand that all their websites have a very clean looking layout, which looks very professional. This has been maintained on MofosWorldwide too. They had a very clear direction in their minds before building this website and these guys have managed to execute it very well. They have invested heavily on this website and have hired some really hard working and talented set of designers. These guys have chosen only one color on this website, which is gray. This could sound boring when you just read it, but when you come across the website, you will realize it is anything but boring. The color makes the website very classy and elegant looking.
The tour page is very simple, with a slideshow to begin with, with some raunchy images and below it links to different videos throughout the website. Below that are links to different websites that are listed on the Mofos Network. Above the slideshow are links to different parts of the website. All in all, the websites layout and design is simply fantastic and we could not ask for more.
Girls and Videos
The moment you guys have all been waiting for has now arrived, it is the time we talk about the girls they have on their website. You will be in awe when you look at these girls. If you are familiar with the porn content on the Mofos Network, then you are very well aware that these guys have lined up some of the best girls you can think of and are so fucking hot. The same is the case with MofosWorldwide too.
As they mentioned, these guys have chicks from all over the globe. You name it and they have it. You will find girls from India, Japan, Europe, Latin America, other parts of Asia and much more. You will be spoilt for choice when you look at this website. These girls will do things that you would not even imagine. They will deep throat a cock like there is no tomorrow and spread their legs wide enough to ensure that their man can fuck them for a very long time.
You will be offered over 200 porn videos, which are all in full HD and can be saved for viewing anytime. In addition, there are also 200 photo galleries which are in hi-res and can be saved too. These are in a zip format.
To conclude, all we would like to say is that MofosWorldwide is one of the best porn sites that you will be able to find on the internet. And since this belongs to the Mofos Network, you can we assured that it shares the same fantastic quality and service like the other websites on Mofos Network, and boasts the sexiest girls you will find on the internet. And what's more is that upon signing up, you will receive full access to multiple sites on the Mofos Network. Now that's an offer you will not be able to refuse.
This site has been closed but you can visit the wonderful Mofos Network!

When two middle-aged sisters, Alex and Claire, learn of their abuser's death, they journey to a northern New Zealand settlement to witness his burial. From the opening scenes we see there are other forces at work.
Life is simple in this close community. Everyone is connected. For Tia's single mother Madonna, a helping hand makes all the difference whether it is from her mother, Nana the Kuia, or a trusted friend and local celebrity Dennis (aka Birdman.).
Alex and Claire roll into town. Triggered memories take us back through their childhood. We witness the subtlety of their abuser, Dennis's, deception. Blinded by the practicalities of family life, their parents David and Helen miss the telling signs of interference. Helen comes close but she can't quite put her finger on it.
Eleven-year-old Tia is the unsuspecting link between past and present. Like her mother, Madonna, Tia is strong minded and resilient, though far less trusting. Tia is like her Grandmother, Nana, she keeps a watchful eye. Madonna prepares food for the funeral and whether intentionally or not, Tia uncharacteristically lets down her guard setting Madonna off on the mother of all missions.
A cemetery provides the stage for the final showdown. From a distance Alex and Claire observe as mourners gather by Birdman's graveside. The burial proceeds but all dignity shatters when Madonna wrecks havoc. The heaven's quake as Nana commands the soaring Kotuku to damn the Birdman's soul to the underworld.
It's evening and Alex and Claire encounter Tia one last time. Nothing is said. A passing glance offers mutual understanding of all that has transpired. What needed to be done has been done. There has been a reckoning. Peace is restored.

After Rubens takes as it's starting point Matisse's La Danse, and Peter Paul Rubens' monumental lost masterpiece, The Fall of The Damned. This series aims to bridge the gap between contemporary painting practise and our collective history as image-makers and craftsmen, and also forms the starting point for a Solo Exhibition hosted at Lewisham Arthouse as part of Deptford X Festival, exploring the theme of found in translation, or how figurative art can react fluidly to other artists and ideas through time.

Tendermaster is an electronic platform where Ukrainian government entities can place their tenders, and commercial organizations can participate in state procurement that goes to the official state platform.
This web solution was created by CodeIT team from scratch, following the idea and vision of our client to create both an E-Commerce and Auctioning solution at the same time. The concept of this project focuses on the system that provides business-to-business/consumer/government purchase and sale of supplies, work, and services through the Internet, thus the platform requires the following functionalities:
According to the above-mentioned functionality, it was decided to create 5 user roles with different abilities and access level:
The project is based on the Zend Framework 2 and the MVC structure. Operational system CentOS6.x, Programming language: PHP 7.0.19, Database: MariaDB 5.5.47; MongoDB 3.2.9, Client OS: Windows 7, Windows 10+, Mac OS 10.x. The client part and admin panel should work on Mozilla Firefox 47+, Safari 10+, Chrome 48+.
This is the basic mode for every user who visits the website. Without registration Guests can take a look at the following sections:
For any further actions at the portal, the Guest users should register. The process is rather simple and fast and requires only the email and password. After the registration Users need to be approved by the Administrator, and during this period they have all the Guest users functionality plus with the ability to edit their profile information, change settings, select favorite procurements. At this stage, while editing their profiles Users choose their roles – Purchaser or Supplier.
When users select to be Purchasers they have all the above-mentioned functionality plus one of the main and important features – Creating Procurement. There are several types of procurements:
To make the work with the platform really easy and understandable we have added several more special features.
The broad functionality of the platform allows Purchasers to:
With this account type users have all the functionality available for the registered users, and also they can make transactions, place bids to the tender, communicate with the Purchasers. We integrated the prepayment function and the transactions were implemented with the use of UPC API.
Suppliers can also ask questions and ask for more details or documents to the tender in the Negotiations section. They see the details of the procurement, what stage they are on, what are the terms, what costs are expected etc.
Suppliers make bids till the due date set by the Purchaser – at this stage, users can make bids that are equal to the minimal possible value, but not more than the maximum value set by the Purchaser. While they are bidding for the tender, they can upload documents, ask Purchasers for more information or additional documents, participate in Negotiations. When this stage is finished the auction starts.
These users control everything that goes on on the platform and have the following capabilities:
As a result we received a huge web solution that we maintain and from time to time add functionality. The platform gets more than 11K visitors every month and thousands of new tenders every week. It has 1026 registered users and 562 organizations. This is a perfect solution for the government entities to perform state procurements in the market online and out in the open.
CodeIT has been working for us for one and a half years. We are ending the project now because it is complete. CodeIT built our platform from scratch and also provided further development and support for the rest of the contract. They are very strong in several areas: back-end development (specialising in Zend Framework); front-end development; server administration; project management. Their project managers speak excellent English and are courteous and professional. Their developers are fast and skilled, and up to date with the latest technologies. Their expertise helped us to build a highly reliable website which can serve a heavy load of traffic. Finally, they are all very nice people, and I cannot recommend them highly enough.
This was our first project, and I am so happy that it had a smooth run and a successful resolution.
I sincerely hope that this is just the first step in our long and mutually amiable partnership.
Thank you CodeIT team for being so thorough and professional.
Collaboration with CodeIT gave my business great prospects for its expansion and scaling. Together with CodeIT professionals, we grew our product line from three to fourteen products within only one year. I can rely on these guys to get a high-quality product on time.
Thanks, V
This was the biggest project I've made so far and CodeIT helped me and our company through it in a perfect way.
Working with one very skilled project manager and multiple developers and testers with him made our project fly in a very short period of time, and with a super high quality!
I have worked with CodeIT for over a year now on a complex application development project and they have been excellent. They have been flexible with scaling resources up and down as I've needed it, their project managers have been extremely responsive and I hear from them every day and never have to wonder where they are as I have with past outsourcing projects. Highly recommended if you're considering outsourcing software development.
I wanted to personally thank you for your hard work on this. Working with CodeIT turned out to be a really pleasant experience for us.
Since the beginning, your team seemed to be really well structured and everyone understood its role and responsibilities.
Also, the quality of the work CodeIt delivered was exactly what we expected it to be.
This really facilitated our daily work and help us to keep the client happy.
I hope this first experience working together help us to build a long-term partnership.
I posted this project and within minutes guys from CodeIT bid on the project. I asked a few questions through Skype to feel confident that they could do the job. I felt comfortable with the knowledge and skills and accepted their offer. I am usually hesitant to hire from offshore. Not because of the work quality but, usually the language barrier and working hours. Guys from CodeIT was available during NY working hours and after pre-screening on Skype, I could tell they know English well.
Feel free to contact us. We will answer all your questions and provide you with fast and thorough feedback.

text: Cape Town - It was a tough old year for Adriaan Strauss when it should have been one to remember. The 31-year-old Bulls hooker was given the ultimate honour when he was made Allister Coetzee's Springbok captain back in June. It was a dream come true for Strauss, as it would be for any player, but the months that followed have not been easy on him or anybody involved in the Bok set-up. Strauss, shockingly, announced during this year's Rugby Championship that he would be retiring from international rugby at the end of the year. The northern hemisphere tour would be his final outing in Bok colours, but nobody could have predicted it going as badly as it did. Now, to add to all of his troubles, Springbok coach Allister Coetzee must also find a new captain for 2017 - if he still has a job by then. The Boks have won just four of 12 Tests in 2016 under Strauss and Coetzee, yet the coach insists he has no regrets over his decision to appoint Strauss as skipper."If you look at the Super Rugby franchises and the leaders there, I think Adriaan Strauss at that time was the guy that was 100% sure of his position and the most experienced hooker and player that had come through the systems," Coetzee said. "Therefore I made that call. In hindsight, it was still the right call that I made."Strauss has also said that he will not back-track on his decision to retire from international rugby, meaning that Saturday's 27-13 loss to Wales in Cardiff was his 66th and final Test for the Boks. At this early stage, Duane Vermeulen, Warren Whiteley and Handre Pollard are the names being mentioned as possible Bok captains in 2017.

Khalid Shafar unveils a new sculpture at Design Week
Khalid Shafar, one of the UAE's leading product designers has been working in collaboration with LASVIT to produce a lighting sculpture and glass installation as part of Dubai Design Week. Silent Call is a large wall piece made of several crystal glass components in the shape of Islamic architectural domes taken from five mosques in five countries: UAE, Russia, Malaysia, Germany and Denmark. Each dome has been resized in several dimensions and placed across the sculpture and are also fitted with internal lights that are programmed with new software that responds to the time of day in any given location.
Firstly, the installation changes depending on the light of the sky at each hour on a 24 hour cycle, meaning that at sunrise and sunset the reds and purples of a dramatic sky are cast across the sculpture and also that the piece is never the same from one hour to the next. Also, the lighting is programmed to indicate prayer times but in a dynamic movement that mirrors movement to and from the mosque and can last up to 30 minutes at each of the five daily prayers.
Shafar was inspired by the software-based digital alarm clocks that are available on the market and wanted to make something fresh and contemporary that also reflects the fast-paced world in which we live. "I wanted to take Islam and Islamic architecture as a source of inspiration and come up with something completely new," he said. "From a design perspective it was a challenge and this is also my first time working with glass, so I wanted to also present something interesting and challenging to LASVIT, who are the best in the field in the glass industry."
Shafar has been working with the glass manufacturers for almost three years on this project and both the designer and LASVIT wanted to create a piece that blended Eastern and Western aesthetics. Maxim Velčovský, LASVIT Art Director, said "It was our pleasure to work with someone as creative and dedicated as Khalid Shafar, and see the philosophical depth of his concept. Although he's notably versatile as a designer, his background is in furniture design and he primarily works with wood. This was his first major venture into glass design. We hope it will be the first of many and look forward to collaborating with him on new ideas that produce truly unique creations, which is what we have been able to achieve with many international designers. Harnessing the Czech Republic as a hub of the highest quality glassmaking, we enjoy challenges and collaborations that produce cutting-edge, innovative design."
- Silent Call will be unveiled in Building 7, Dubai Design District (d3) at 5pm on November 14, 2017.

Ruddy from Montana winds he straddles his painted pony and braces against the cold.
He cups his hand to light a cigarette, inhales and clenches his chiseled jaw.

Support our journey to Portugal #PaintPortugalPurple
After some tremendous results at the British University Championships, we have qualified six boats to compete in Portugal. Twelve athletes make up the incredibly dedicated and hungry group which will head to Portugal to compete with Europe's best student athletes.
In previous years, Reading University Boat Club has achieved great success at this event and even been the highest performing British University. The group hopes to better last year's performance of one Gold and one Bronze medal.
We ask you to support us and make all the hard work worthwhile by giving us a helping hand on our journey!
How you can help!
The group are already extremely excited for the opportunity to test themselves against some of Europe's best athletes in Portugal this summer. However, to compete at the European University Games, we will need to fund all of our entry fees, travel and accommodation costs ourselves and we will need all the help we can get. Will you support us and make all the hard work worth it?
Any amount you can contribute would be amazing, and will make such a big difference in helping us manage the costs. We really hope you get behind us with our journey to Portugal to proudly represent The University of Reading and our boat club!

We've featured Diego Ribas earlier this week (see here). The day after, Francisco from Barcelona sent the following pictures showing scans of Diego in a webcam chat. It was part of a webcam scandal which happened in Brazil a few years ago where a certain Felina was able to engage quite a few Brazilian celebrities, including some well-known sportsmen, in a webcam chat & captured her adventures on video, which she promptly disseminated in the internet subsequently. We have a copy of the video of Diego from that infamous scandal (watch it at the bottom) but it was short & didn't show him jacking off his cock. Francisco sent some pictures showing Diego doing exactly that. We tend to believe they're fake unless the alleged second portion of the video comes up (which is exactly the case with the other victims involved in the scandal, the cut-off jack-off portions later turned up). We won't stop looking.

The GIAJ Chairman's Statement (Translation)
(June 13, 2013)
Since I assumed office as Chairman of the GIAJ in June 2012, we have worked on various measures to make general insurance, an important part of the overall infrastructure, and general insurance companies more robust, sound, and reliable. I would like to report the progress made on our major initiatives during my one-year tenure and offer my views.
1. Progress on our major initiatives
(1) Measures to make general insurance more robust, sound, and reliable
i. Enhancing public awareness of general insurance
(a) Establishment of the 'Customers Voices and Experts Advisory Council'
For broader discussions on issues related to the general insurance industry, we established the 'Customers Voices and Experts Advisory Council' (CVEAC) to replace the 'Advisory Panel to Listen to Consumers' Voices'. Under the CVEAC, two new task forces, one on better ways to make sales materials and solicitation practices more consumer-friendly, and the other on measures for tackling insurance fraud and fraudulent claims, have engaged in in-depth discussions and identified future challenges (please refer to 1. (1) i. (b) and 1. (1) ii. (a) for details). We will make use of these initiatives.
(b) Measures on harmonization and standardization
We have advanced our efforts to harmonize application procedures and forms as part of the main initiatives laid out in our Sixth Mid-Term Business Plan. We submitted to the Financial System Council's 'Working Group on Insurance Products and Services' consumer-friendly design examples of sales materials for automobile insurance, prepared by the CVEAC's task force on better ways to make sales materials and solicitation practices more consumer-friendly, and explained the legal challenges of introducing them. Currently, we are drawing up industry-wide guidelines to develop sales materials, and working on design examples for other products. We are conducting measures on harmonization and standardization in other areas as well. In addition, we have begun to streamline the industry's infrastructure such as its information systems, and are enhancing the operational efficiency of both insurance agents and insurers.
(c) Promoting financial and insurance education
The Financial Services Agency's 'Research Group on Financial and Economic Education' compiled a report outlining ways to promote financial and economic education to contribute to the development of a just, sustainable society through customers' improved financial literacy. The agency's newly established 'Council on Promotion of Financial and Economic Education' will engage in concrete discussions on the details of financial literacy education. With those discussions in mind, we will put effort into public education by promoting use of our 'General Insurance Buyers' Guide', as well as providing lecturers and/or materials for high school and university classes.
(d) Review of insurance solicitation regulations at the Financial System Council
The final report of the Financial System Council's 'Working Group on Insurance Products and Services' calls for new rules regarding insurance solicitation, some covering issues that we have already addressed in our efforts to improve customer services. Suggestions include a rule that requires agents and solicitors to first identify a customer's needs and to propose and explain suitable products, so as to enable the customer to determine that the policy he or she is about to purchase does indeed match his or her needs. The report also acknowledges that innovation in solicitation practices, such as efforts to improve sales materials, can be more effective than detailed regulations. In line with the ideas behind the report, we will advance our discussions and support member companies' innovation with the goal of achieving deeper understanding of insurance on the part of customers.
(e) Launch of the 'General Insurance College Course'
We have launched the 'General Insurance College Course' and, jointly with the Independent Insurance Agents of Japan Inc., have been operating the Professional and Consulting Courses since last July and April, respectively. Over 35,000 sales staff are accredited 'General Insurance Planners' proficient in laws and taxes related to insurance. With due respect to the discussions and report of the Financial System Council's 'Working Group on Insurance Products and Services', we will strive to increase the number of sales staff capable of providing customers with more appropriate, quality advice.
(f) Enhancing the 'General Insurance ADR Center'
In order to further enhance our member companies' response capability to customer complaints, our 'General Insurance ADR Center (General Insurance Counseling and ADR Center)' has introduced a framework to alert and provide member companies with recommendations for improvement in regard to serious grievances it receives from customers. Based on the report issued by the Financial Services Agency's 'Experts Council on the Follow-up of the Financial ADR System', we will strengthen our system to listen to consumers' voices with more sincerity and reflect their concerns in our business operations.
ii. Minimising social losses (Prevention of insurance fraud and fraudulent claims)
(a) Measures to prevent insurance fraud and fraudulent claims
I visited the Association of British Insurers and the General Insurance Association of Korea to discuss measures against insurance fraud and fraudulent claims. In January, following our survey results on the level of the general public's ethics and morals, we launched the 'Insurance Fraud Prevention Office', which operates the 'Insurance Fraud Hot-line', gathers and analyzes data collected from insurers, and assesses the state of insurance fraud. We have received various recommendations from the CVEAC's task force on measures for tackling insurance fraud and fraudulent claims, including the necessity of a dedicated database, prevention of automobile theft, cooperation with the police, and combating claims on disguised snow damage. The GIAJ, led by the 'Insurance Fraud Prevention Office', will take these recommendations into consideration and accelerate our awareness-raising activities.
(b) Measures to prevent traffic accidents and reduce related damage
In order to help prevent and reduce resulting social losses, we analyzed details of traffic accidents and conducted nation-wide activities to enhance public awareness of crime and disaster prevention. We also participated in the 'Government-Private Sector Joint Automobile Theft Prevention Project Team' discussions, and conducted awareness-raising activities for auto theft prevention such as 'Theft Prevention Day' events. While the number of thefts has declined sharply, close examination reveals a tendency towards sophistication in their manner. We will consider further countermeasures and enhance our cooperation with relevant parties.
(c) Promoting use of recycled automobile parts
Use of recycled parts for vehicle repairs reduces both the environmental burden and repair costs. We will continue to promote the use of recycled parts in cooperation with relevant organizations.
(2) Measures to make general insurance companies and businesses more robust, sound, and reliable
i. Strengthening the soundness of general insurance companies
(a) Response to tax reforms
As part of the package of tax revisions for fiscal 2013, the existing pre-event catastrophe reserve system concerning fire insurance will be broadened, with the current four percent accumulation rate raised to five percent for the next three years. We aim to take advantage of the tax reform to swiftly restore the catastrophe reserves that have been reduced by recent catastrophe losses. We today finalized our petitions for tax reforms for fiscal 2014. Priority issues include making permanent the transitional measure (expiring in fiscal 2014) that exempts interest generated by saving premiums accounts of general insurance companies from deduction of interest on borrowed funds. We will advance our industry's unified efforts to reach out to various related parties and call for support.
(b) Review of the Residential Earthquake Insurance system
The Residential Earthquake Insurance system has become more resilient as the manner of sharing the burden between the government and the industry has been modified in the fiscal 2013 budget. We believe this revision further ensures payment of claims and raises the sense of security in the system. We are determined to further promote Earthquake Insurance, which is designed to help those affected by earthquakes to get back on their feet as soon as possible.
(c) Enhancing business continuity management
With the goal of avoiding any inconvenience to customers even in times of major earthquakes, we undertook a thorough review of our Business Continuity Plan (BCP). We created a procedural manual to maintain high-priority functions such as providing support to our member companies' important activities. We, along with relevant authorities, also conducted drills in alternate locations in times of disaster. We will review our BCP based on the results of the drills and better prepare ourselves.
(d) Voicing our opinions on international regulatory issues
We submitted comments on the draft of IAIS's ComFrame (Common Framework for the Supervision of Internationally Active Insurance Groups) and the proposed identification methodology and policy measures for G-SIIs (Global Systemically Important Insurers), calling on the IAIS to take better account of the features of insurers' businesses. We will continue to express our views and interact with concerned parties to ensure that international insurance supervision and regulations examine the characteristics of general insurance businesses, and set a framework which encourages insurance groups with overseas operations to strengthen their soundness.
(e) Framework for orderly resolution of financial firms
A system for orderly resolution of every type of financial firm, including banks, security brokering firms, and insurers, in the event of a financial market contagion crisis will be introduced in Japan. We will seek to ensure that any discussion on the detailed design of the framework is reflective of the unique characteristics of individual sectors including general insurance. We will also go ahead with preparations to appropriately deal with the new framework.
ii. Diversifying our business to better meet customer needs
(a) Review of the regulatory scope of business for insurers at the Financial System Council
We requested the Financial System Council's 'Working Group on Insurance Products and Services' to ease the conditions that allow insurers to engage in concerted activities, and gained the Working Group's understanding of the need for systematic support for compilation of relevant data regarding risks and damage. We believe that the Working Group also welcomed our proposal to allow insurance groups to engage in a wider range of insurance associated services such as trust services vis-à-vis paid insurance claims and services ancillary to consulting on loss prevention. We continue to cater to our customers' various needs with an eye on the revised regulations to come.
(b) Collaboration with overseas institutions
We joined the GFIA (Global Federation of Insurance Associations) upon its establishment last October, as part of our efforts toward the development of general insurance businesses in Japan and overseas. Along with the Non-Life Insurance Institute of Japan, we also hosted the ISJ (Insurance School of Japan) seminars in Myanmar and Cambodia, among others, and had bilateral discussions with Asian insurance associations and relevant authorities, including those of Viet Nam and India, on the roles and activities of insurance associations following liberalisation and deregulation. In addition, we, together with the General Insurance Rating Organization of Japan and the Non-Life Insurance Institute of Japan, have agreed with our Indonesian counterparts to develop a cooperative relationship and to provide them with technical assistance regarding general insurance systems. We will accordingly provide support for establishment of an Indonesian rating organization.
We will continue to engage in discussions with overseas institutions.
(c) Government-private sector roundtable
A government-private sector roundtable was launched as a forum for dialog between supervisors and financial industries including the general insurance industry. So far, it has drawn up three reports outlining issues to be addressed by financial firms and possible solutions, so that they may achieve growth while better striving to contribute to the real economy. We will shortly take feasible measures and support our member companies, such as in providing technical assistance to Asian counterparts and properly responding to an aging, shrinking population.
2. Conclusion
The role of general insurance in supporting the day to day lives of people and the greater economy, and its indispensability in society, remain unchanged. Meanwhile, as the expectations for general insurance are ever-changing with the economy and society, it is necessary for the industry to take a greater role in keeping with such expectations. We will make tireless efforts to lay and strengthen the foundations for the future in terms of protecting people's lives and contributing to the economy.
I would like to express sincere gratitude for your warm support and cooperation tendered throughout my one-year tenure. We would highly appreciate your continued support and cooperation.

Chosen for Life Ministries exists to educate and equip local churches and communities to care well for orphaned and vulnerable children. We love connecting local churches and community organizations to ways that they can tangibly serve children and families! As needs arise in our area, we continue to see others step up in big ways to serve with love and generosity. Just recently, we have been astounded by the community support that we have seen offered not only to families but to caseworkers and organizations who are working to help children have safe, loving homes and permanency!
Thanks to the Creature Comforts Get Comfortable Campaign, CFLM was able to deliver gifts of appreciation to 60 caseworkers at Clarke County DFCS! Creature Comforts hosted Chosen for Life during February as one of their Get Comfortable Partners. During the event, people could write encouraging cards to caseworkers, package gifts of candy and a Chick-fil-A gift card, and even make care packages for children in foster care that consisted of books, stuffed animals, and new, unused socks, underwear, and pajamas!
Chosen for Life staff visited the Clarke DFCS office to deliver these gifts, and the gratitude was incredible! Caseworkers work daily to help our state's most vulnerable children have safety, love, and permanency. Their jobs are not easy jobs, and they need encouragement as they face difficult circumstances every single day. We love equipping the community to step into this space and encourage individuals who give so much of themselves for the sake of others! Thank you Creature Comforts and Athens, GA for playing such a valuable role!
Our community has so much to offer to children and families whenever needs become known! We have seen just how generous our community is through the many donations of high quality children's clothing and other care items that we have received in our Free Clothes Closet for Foster Families. We continually meet foster families as well as biological parents of children who are in foster care as they visit our Clothes Closet for the items they need to care well for the children in their homes! One of the greatest joys we have is seeing so many people in our community give generously so that children experience the sweet gifts of items they are in need of! When families tell CFLM of a need they have, we are able to reach out to our network of churches and community members to find the items they need, if we do not have that item already in our Clothes Closet. Here are just a few examples of how CFLM has been able to equip our community to serve families well by providing for their tangible needs:
- A toddler bed was donated to a foster family so that they could say "Yes" to a little boy who was entering foster care and in need of a safe, loving family.
- A single bed was donated to the biological parent of a child in foster care so that their sons and daughter could come back home and be reunified with their family!
- Someone in the community had a basketball goal they were looking to donate, and a Care Team Leader picked it up and delivered it to a foster family so their two teenage foster children could have a fun avenue to play and hang out with their mentors!
Chosen for Life Ministries is a part of the Home in 5 network, which is a public-private partnership to increase foster care awareness, foster homes, and support in Region 5. Home in 5 creates beautiful ways of raising awareness of the need for more foster homes in the region in order to recruit more foster families to open their homes to vulnerable children. One festive way they are raising awareness is by providing churches with easter eggs for their community easter egg hunts! Each egg includes delicious candy and a flyer explaining the foster care crisis and need for more foster families.
As they started preparing these easter eggs, they realized it was bigger than a 3 person job! They reached out to Chosen for Life Ministries to ask for help stuffing these eggs to get them ready to deliver to local churches. Five different church and community organizations immediately stepped up and offered to have their children's ministry and small groups put together these eggs!
Thanks to Athens Church, Jefferson Parks and Recreation After School Program, Life Church of Athens KidzLife Program, Watkinsville First Baptist Church, and other community groups over 1,000 were stuffed in just one day! Here is what Home in 5 had to say to the support they were given:
After HOURS of egg stuffing without making a dent we waived the white flag and our rescue ship showed up! We ❤ Chosen for Life Ministries and the community in Region V who give their time so selflessly and consistently to support our effort!
These are only a few of the amazing stories that we see as we work to equip churches and communities to care well for orphaned and vulnerable children. There are many roles that we can all play to show children and families the love and support that they need, and we want to always help you find the role that you can play! It is a joy to see so many within our community find fun and unique ways to be a part of this work, and we cannot say thank you enough to all those who are taking the step to find the role that they can play!
If you want to find your role today, visit our website to learn more about how to be involved!

Nordic Focus This year, the PAO Festival focuses on Performance Artists from the Nordic Region and is showcasing in Oslo the work of twelve Performance Artists/Collectives from Iceland, Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway. In doing so, the Festival is highlighting the diversity of performative expression in the Nordic Region, but also inquiring into similarities that might stem from geographic location. Although the invited Performance Artists all perform internationally and often deal with universal thematics, we wonder how their work could be connected to Nordic culture and identity? Could certain forms of expression and approach to Performance Art be more specific to artists from the Nordic Region? Artists talks: Augusta Atla (DK), Essi Kausalainen (FI), Päivi Laakso (FI/NO), Sigmund Skard (NO), WOL / Lovisa Johansson & Wenche Tankred (SE) and Wunderkind Collective (IS). Exhibition / Video programme: We will show a slide show by performance photographer Pietro Pellini (DE) and three video programs which explore the various ways artists document and use video in their performance work. Curated by Kjetil Skøien (NO), MUU (FI) presenting Performance Voyage 5 and Kunstbanken in Hamar showing video documentation from their festival in October 2015. Extra programme: 09 til 15 November: Performance art Studies PAS#42 Salt & Pepper with Johannes Deimling at KHIO.

DOUGH RITES OF OUR CENTURY II Lyset er dempet i lokalen. Marita Isobel Solberg kommer inn fra sidelinjen, kledd i sort. Kroppen hennes har et stort bakhode, store bryster, digre hofter. Hun har også usedvanlig store knær og albuer. Hun er en annen type menneske, eller et slags urmenneske kanskje? Solberg går rundt i en sirkel, ser ned i gulvet, som om hun var alene, synger uten ord på en melankolsk melodi. I den ene hånden har hun en brødkniv. Hun synger lavmælt for så å bygge opp volumet, høyere og høyere. Rett som det er løfter hun kniven og stikker den rett inn i brystet. Men hun dør ikke, det er snarere en type renselse som blir utført. Hun begynner å presse noe ut av såret. Rød deig, kroppsmasse. Det henger en rød pølse rett ut av brystet hennes. Så fortsetter hun. Hun setter kniven i hoftene, i rumpa, i albuen, i hodet, i knærne. Hun må streve med å få massen ut av hodet. Det er bare det som kom ut av brystene som er rødt. De andre kroppsdeigene har grønn, sort, eller hvit masse. Når alt er ute begynner hun å ta vekk det som er rundt. Som om hun flår et dyr, kaster vekk hinnene kjøttet var pakket inn i. Hun synger igjen. Det er samme sang men nå høres hun glad ut. Kroppsmassen er deig som hun her bakt ut til bumeranger som ligger i en sirkel. Hun står i midten av sirkelen og roper ut en tekst. En profeti, en formel. Det handler om hekser, om skaperkraft. "From the fire their bodies scream/ we will create". Hun stamper med foten to ganger. En urkraft har sluppet løs. Så er det over.

NOVEMBER 7th. 2015 MASS_FLUX_US, SAINT PETERSBURG, RUSSIA
"Based on ideas from fluxus and our new ism, Möcism, I will explore new relations. Bringing my personality, history and experience in a meeting with the places and people of St. Petersburg, Russia. Thoughts are substances, masses moving in space and time. I am exploring the chemistry between us. I will create a work of performance art that excites curiosity, wonder and awareness. Everything is substance, mind is matter, energy we can feel and use, as concrete material, movement, tones, compositions. We will explore and challenge the listener in us and the audience where mysteries, dreams, memories and present thoughts meet. The work is based on simple ideas but multifaceted, with a surprising effect, Möcism. Our own ism. A new cultural movement. We are suddenly in our new composite manifesto, a juncture between Dadaism, surrealism, '60s avant-garde and new ideas for our century with an open philosophical view as a common thread, an absurd red thread. The surreal is anything but exhausted. it allows our art to be near as strange as life itself. The subconscious is a life beyond the swamps. Sense and nonsense are equal, nonsense provide just as much sense. We are different, while still the same. Our artworks are to find it´s purpose in the meeting with the audience. The ideas of Möcism can be interpreted based on our manifesto". THE MANIFEST OF MÔCISM Möcism is a way of life, a way to create art. Life is art! Listening is a prerequisite for creating. Our thoughts are substance that moves inside and outside our heads! Thoughts are chemical compounds that explode or implode, work or just do not work together. Thoughts can accommodate everything. Thoughts are the basis for artistic creation. Thoughts can be exploratory, playful, junk, serious or absurd. Surrealism is true. All senses can listen! Chance principles are not coincidences, but rather not predetermined. We must counteract the tendency to think the beaten track! We must avoid habits! We must let the senses rule! There are many opportunities in the opportunities of opportunity. We turn from the impossible in impossibility. Möcism is created by Øystein Elle & Marita Isobel Solberg Галерея 2,04 7 ноября, 18:00 Перформанс норвежской художницы, участницы Санкт-Петербургской Арт-резиденции, Мариты Изобель Зольберг Произведение перформативного искусства и инсталляция из хлеба, акриловых красок, теста, муки, слов и других звуков. Размышления о созидании и закрытых пространствах. Дуновение свободных мыслей, звуков и движений. Строя новые возможности из массива растущей печали. Проводя параллели от художественной среды Норвегии и коммерциализации искусства к российскому тюремному творчеству. This is a work of performance art and an installation of bread, acrylic color, dough, flour, spoken words and other sounds. A reflection on creation and closed spaces. A blow of free thoughts, sounds and movements. Building new possibilities from the masses of growing sadness. Drawing lines from our artistic situation back in Norway and the commercialization of the arts to Russian Jail Art work.

Performing at Kysten
Performance during the opening days of The Venice Biennale 2015, Venice, Italy Performed on May 8th, 2015 at IMAGINA. "There exists love , will, sounds and movement in this vast room. We are deeply connected." The performance concerns reflections on the challenges, conflicts, potentials, aspirations, importance and impact of being both a citizen of the world while remaining close to our roots. A spoken word session which includes poetry, movement, singing, making sounds and rhythm. Who am we? Who am we? Who am we? Our mother and our father were on their honeymoon, they made us there.. we were very expected. 2 of our older brothers died too early, and all our aunts and uncles were waiting. We were the first child on our mothers side: We were already then born into a big family. We Remember: We were acting wild. We were running as we were born, into this wild world. Texas, Texas, Texas. We did not know. We were back home, close to the waters and the mountains. We had a wall in front of us, and we started to climb. We remember they used to speak a strange language, and when we arrived it was gone again… Was it a dream..? Buorre beavvi, Ipmil ætti. The sun, The day, The good, The God, gives, hopefully. We remember singing songs, we remember our grandfather telling us stories from the forest. He died way too early. In a dream he came home to visit us. The moss grew on his body. He was calling us. We remember staying at the summer farm, milking the goats with our aunt. A drunk man from the mountain used to visit us. He had a strange hat with many colors, and we were hiding in the hall of the smallest cottage we know. It burned down, so did our grandmothers house. We remember cross country skiing and our aunt Elida. She was so good to us all, so good. It was a gift, and we carry that with us everywhere. We remember snow scooters. We remember moonshine. We remember being tough. We were strong. We remember traveling alone. They came to us, we were 14. Afrika, Canada, Australia, Japan, Russia, South America… from all the continents. They came to us with their music, their poetry, their dance, their traditions. The came. They were similar to us, and we got to know the world. Our home was a meeting spot, a melting pot. We were the People of the sea. We got to know. Before we did not know. Some did not see us as their equals. Then it started to change, still it is changing. And here we are. We came from a small society, we could count them all, we knew them all, and the world came to us. Still it is a small society. We bring that with us. Our grandmother and our mothers family speaks a language we did not get to know, as they did, We never will. Our father do not speak the language much. We never met our fathers father. We lost the language, It got lost long before we came to texas. But we got the feeling of being alive, close to the world, to our stories. Who am we? From a northern place, but we feel home everywhere. The world is our home. They are talking. They wanna say something. They are still talking. Why are they talking? What are they saying? Why? They say We got to see behind. Knocking on that deadly door, yellow and blue. Touch that earth. The old and new. Let fire and air take the water away. At the end of the day let´s make a small stone. A precious one with our clay, with our bodies. You and we, You and we, You and we. We must never use a language as a weapon. You say we do not understand you. Well all we can say is: You don´t understand us either. And who cares, who cares. Do we have to understand everything? We are no less than you are. We are creatures of the world. We want to share. We are no less than you are. Let´s talk about love, Let´s talk about relationships to each other, to our family and friends, to the creatures and creations. Let´s talk about Relationships, relations In relation to everybody and everything. Communication, to communicate, to be a commuter. We want to communicate, to share to be free in all our abilities, in mind, movement and speech, in space, time and dream. Share. It is a treasure there. We can share, If you dare. Create a strong sensation. Recognizing. We are ourself, we are A citizen of the world! They can say what they wanna say.. We don´t need dark masses, dark dough. dark minds, dark ways. Dark vessels go away, we pray for the sun to stay. We travel the world. We have a big family. We feel more home that way..

No. 20 Leather Portfolio Travel Size
"In today's fast-paced world, there's just too much to remember. And, when the brain hits overload, there's no easy, add-on memory chip solution. I decided an easily transportable travel-size portfolio was just what I needed to jot down ideas or anything else I wanted to remember," says the Colonel. This portfolio is the ideal size for your bedside table, automobile or for shopping excursions.
Made of our vintage brown, black or saddle tan polished leather. Solid brass post closure. Edge stitched. Inside front pocket and center pencil slot. Pencil included. Accommodates a standard 5"x 8" ruled pad. However, it comes with the Colonel's own specially-designed Memorandum Pad which may be reordered. Front may be personalized with three initials in lower right corner. Made in the Col. Littleton Workshop.
9" H x 6" W Closed.
This item is also available in American Buffalo

Great Notebook
The leather truly shows the quality and care the company takes in creating a fine piece of art. I will use this portfolio for years. I use notebooks about this size daily in the Army, as it is the right size that we can carry it in hand easily or in a small pouch in our body armor.

Useful Tool
I use a larger portfolio for most of my daily business needs. I like this smaller one for personal use. It is an ideal size for such a purpose. The leather is soft, the design is clean and it has great character. This was my first of what will prove to be other purchases from the colonel. Great customer service, fast delivery, exceeded expectations.

an awesome accessory for my business and personal life.
I am a travel writer / photographer who extensively uses the portfolio I was given for my birthday. The notepads are perfect for short notes on my travels and in my day to day life.
The portfolio is elegant and nicely fits in a pouch inside my camera bag. U also keep my kindle in the left side as it's a perfect protector for my kindle and it keeps my reading material snugly next to my writing material.
Thanks from Memphis, TN

My trusty No. 20
I decided to buy this for myself about six months ago for note taking and budget keeping. It is a perfect size to carry everywhere and has that "quality" look to it that is instantly recognizable. The leather is beautiful and supple, aging wonderfully. I highly reccomend this portfolio to anyone who wants to try out a Col. Littleton product without spending a lot of money. A perfect foot in the door start to these amazing leather goods. You will be convinced. Next on my list is the No. 43 Mailbag!
Our Story
We are committed to producing quality, handcrafted products that showcase our time-honored standards of excellence and deep respect for the Americana tradition. Col. Littleton products go through rigorous testing and numerous quality inspections before being shipped to our customers. Should you receive a Col. Littleton product that is defective in materials or workmanship, you can count on us to make it right. Our guarantee is limited to the cost of the product itself. It also does not cover normal wear and tear. We feel if you just plain "wore it out," you got your money's worth. Also, we cannot be responsible for an item which has suffered through alteration, damage due to improper cleaning, improper use, mishandling or accident. If we made a mistake in personalizing your product or if the product is defective in materials or workmanship, of course we'll replace it. Otherwise, personalized products are not returnable.
Leather is a passion for me. There are more kinds of leather and leather processing out there than you can shake a stick at. You can mold leather into just about any shape or form. You can make every hide look just alike. You can dye it green, blue or even pink. You can apply a finish, coat it, spray it or make it look slick and shiny. That's not what we're about at Col. Littleton. To me the beauty is in the naturalness of the leather. People always comment to me about the special "feel" of our leather and how it becomes even more beautiful after it has some wear on it. It's all about our leather process. When you buy Col. Littleton leather goods, you're buying, for the most part, full-grain American vegetable-tanned steer hide that has received a minimum of alteration. We don't apply a finish to hide character markings. The way I see it, every marking tells a story and covering them robs the piece of its life and character.
I see a real resurgence in the country today for products made in America. Our focus is to design and create products that speak to the time-honored traditions that have made this country great such as handmade craftsmanship, authentic rich leathers and quality workmanship. There's a nostalgic feel about the products we make . . . most of them could have been made 100 years ago and many are made using turn-of-the-20th-century methodology and machinery. Our products are true Americana; forged as our forefathers intended by people who care and take pride in making a beautiful product.
