Transnational marriage
An international marriage, or transnational marriage, is a marriage between two people from different countries. A variety of special issues arise in marriages between people from different countries, including those related to citizenship and culture, which add complexity and challenges to these kinds of relationships.
Culture and language differences are often encountered as obstacles, although there are exceptions. Where ethnic groups are divided between multiple sovereign states (irredentism or stateless nations) or places which once shared common citizenship are separated by borders of newly-independent nations (decolonisation), transnational marriages do not necessarily imply different cultures.
In an age of increasing globalization, where a growing number of people have ties to networks of people and places across the globe, rather than to a current geographic location, people are increasingly marrying across national boundaries. Transnational marriage is a by-product of the movement and migration of people.
Transnational marriage may occur when someone from one country visits or lives in another country for school, work, political asylum, refuge, or due to their family relocating.
In general terms, reasons for transnational marriage include:
- A visitor may become attracted to a citizen of a host country, marrying them. This is usually a cross-cultural marriage, although there are times in which that citizen may be from the same culture. Marrying a citizen of the host country may help in becoming a citizen of that land and staying there permanently. Sometimes the host culture is the one with which the person identifies, and thus desires to marry someone of that culture rather than someone from their "home" culture.
- A soldier, while posted abroad, may fall in love with a local citizen. See war bride, war children and lost Canadians.
- A computer user possessing an account on an internet social network may become attracted to another user holding an account in another country and the two may unite by means of travel arrangements.
- A traveller may be attracted to a citizen of a third country who is also visiting or living in the host country, marrying someone who has the shared experience of living amidst different cultures regardless of citizenship.
- Having become a citizen of the host country, a recent immigrant may go back to their homeland temporarily to find a spouse, sometimes through arranged marriage. This may come as a result of missing home, family, and culture, and desiring to have such in one's life. Another variant is to choose a picture bride from the homeland due to inability to marry a local citizen. One may then bring one's spouse to their new country of citizenship through family reunification provisions in immigration law.
- Historically, colonists would espouse mates from their respective home countries, such as King's Daughters in francophone Lower Canada.
- Members of linguistic or cultural minorities may espouse someone from that same group by crossing international boundaries. While Madawaska, Maine is heavily francophone, the French language in the United States is spoken by a tiny minority. Cross into Acadian New Brunswick or into Quebec and the French language becomes commonplace.
- The territory of a cultural or language group often does not align with national boundaries; for instance, a German-Austrian or German-Swiss couple might share a common language and freedom of travel in the Schengen Area while holding legally-different nationality. A linguistic or cultural group often extends beyond the territory of its nominal home state (irredentism) or a group may be arbitrarily split between multiple legal political entities as a stateless nation. Territory inhabited by indigenous peoples of the Americas often is not aligned with current official political boundaries.
- In rare instances, both members of a transnational couple are from the same town or village, but live in different nations because a community has been divided by an international boundary. The Haskell Free Library and Opera House, itself divided by the border, was built by one such couple in the divided village of Rock Island-Derby Line.
Obstacles to transnational marriage include:
- Citizenship of two or more nations - one or both spouses must change citizenship or become a dual citizen or permanent resident. Changing one's citizenship can be a long process, and for some it is an ordeal of negotiating the laws and language of a new country.
- Culture - Learning how to live with a new spouse where cultural assumptions and norms may vary greatly.
- Language - From mere Dialect differences to totally different languages.
In some cases, an ethnic group has no difference in culture or language but is artificially divided for geopolitical reasons. Places which once shared common nationality may have lost this status to decolonisation, but still share language or other identifiers.
In these cases, cultural or language barriers do not apply, aside from the possibility of dealing with the influence of a distinct dominant culture of the host country or countries. Depending on the countries, there may still be major issues in terms of legal status.

In more ancient times,[citation needed] some marriages between distinctly different tribes and nations were due to royalty trying to form alliances with or to influence other kingdoms or to dissuade marauders or slave traders. More recently, transnational marriages are due to globalization, with migration of labor, increased communication, and many more situations where foreigners come into contact with each other. It is also more common in some areas where class and tribal separations are becoming less strict. If one shares values that transcend culture, then it is easier to get married across cultures.
However, there are many barriers and restrictions to cross-cultural, inter-tribal or racial, and particularly transnational, marriages. People tend to marry those similar to them, some even preferring to marry first cousins, whom they trust. In an interesting twist, transnational arranged marriage between cousins or relatives occur more often in some places with migration and family reunification policies, as some people still want their culture and family when marrying, even in a distant place.
Historical attitudes[edit]
This article's tone or style may not reflect the encyclopedic tone used on Wikipedia. (November 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The Bible and the Laws of Manu are two religious historical documents which give some insight into the views on transnational marriage in antiquity. In the Bible, Abraham's God warns the Israelites not to marry people from seven nations residing in the land of Canaan for fear that they would then proceed to worship the gods of the other nations.[1]
Intermarriage with other nations was permissible. There are several instances of transnational marriages in the Bible, such as Joseph being given Egyptian wives by Pharaoh, Rahab of Jericho marrying one of the Israelite spies she hid, Ruth the Moabite taking care of her mother-in-law Naomi, and King Solomon marrying Pharaoh's daughter, as well as many other foreign wives. King Solomon married to make alliances and keep the peace, and the others because they lived by each other. However, the difference in reaction to the transnational marriages is how the newcomers responded to the Abrahamic God.[2] King Solomon was punished by God for facilitating his wives' worship of their own gods in Israel and then worshipping alongside them.[3] Samson espoused a Philistine, who betrayed him to that nation. The book of Ezra tells of the response of the Jewish exiles to either separate from their foreign wives they had married in Babylon or be separated from the community of exiles when the exiles were trying to turn back to the Abrahamic God.[4] Moses' sister, Miriam, criticizes him for marrying a Cushite woman. She is then stricken with leprosy for criticizing Moses (Numbers 12:1-10).[5]
The Laws of Manu,[6] a religious document for the Indo-Aryan Brahmins invading India, speaks of how to keep oneself clean but also intermarry with the indigenous peoples in order to create a caste system. A Nepali anthropologist writes on how a Brahmin man might marry four wives of different castes, and keep all the eating and living quarters of his different caste wives and children separate. His children and grandchildren, born to women of lower castes, will have even lower status and not be taught the laws. The only social mobility is downward.[7] Similarly, although no longer specifically due to transnational marriage, the interracial sexual contact in the Americas produced a system that defined social status by skin color, and is still followed by some people, but in particular those whom it subjugated. People would marry those with lighter skin color to keep their social status and were against marrying anyone of "lower" status, particularly around the time of belief that certain people were of a superior race than others.[8]
A slightly different perspective of interracial or transnational marriage is from those who tend to marry their cousins, sometimes even first cousins. They do so in order keep the family together socially and economically, thus disproving of marriage outside. Recently, this practice has become technically transnational due to differences in citizenship, even though the people are still family. An example of transnational marriage that kept the family together was among European royalty. Queen Victoria's grandchildren were all over Europe, keeping the royalty together. She was referred to as the "grandmother of Europe." However, some of the resulting alliances brought nations into the Great War (World War I) which otherwise could have retained neutrality. More recent examples are from a mass migration from the less developed regions of the world to the more developed regions, helped by the policies of family reunification. A fairly common practice among South Asian immigrants to the UK or USA is to have arranged marriages to someone back "home," in order to keep the culture and traditions within their family.[9][10]
Modern attitudes[edit]
Today, there is a mixed reaction to transnational marriage in some areas, especially as it continues to spread. Family reunification policies have upset some people in host countries, as people are less likely to assimilate if they continue to marry people from their home countries, thus keeping their cultures alive in the host cultures.[11] Others are suspicious of transnational marriages, as they think the non-citizen spouse may use their marriage only to obtain legal status in the host country.[12] Still others find their families torn apart if one spouse is detained or deported for legal reasons.[13] There are many legal barriers and hurdles to cross in transnational marriage, as well as being allowed to remain living together in the same country.
Third culture kids[edit]
Immigrants may also take their families with them, meaning that their children grow up in different lands, learning a different culture and language often feeling more at home in the host country than their "home" country. These children, called third culture kids, often tend to feel affinity to those who have also lived in more than one country and culture, and tend to marry people of diverse backgrounds, regardless of nationality and citizenship.[14]
Others decide on a transnational marriage without having lived long in their new country. Traveling has resulted in transnational relationships, marriages, and even families, although it is not known how common such results are.
One debate: should national laws discourage or encourage transnational marriage?[edit]
Currently, it can be legally difficult to have a transnational marriage. There are many barriers, for example in Indonesia it can be very difficult for the married couple if the husband is not Indonesian.[15][16] As a result of increasing transnational marriage, policy makers in various countries are starting to consider whether they should discourage or encourage transnational marriage.
The grounds given for discouraging transnational marriage are that:
- False marriages occur to gain citizenship or conduct human trafficking.[12][17]
- The marriages are cross-cultural and thus children or spouses may not be as loyal or patriotic to the new country.
- There is a lack of assimilation and creation of ghettos if second and third generation immigrants are still marrying persons from the country of their ancestors.[11]
The grounds given for encouraging transnational marriage are that:
- Transnational marriage reconnects extended families or even persons of similar backgrounds that are living all over the globe.
- It helps relations between countries by strengthening trade and contact, or in case of war, enables one country to know more about the other (case of Kibei or Japanese-Americans during WWII).
- People are increasingly marrying across national boundaries and harsh laws just tear families apart.[13][18]
By country[edit]
United States[edit]
In the United States federal law, International Marriage Broker Regulation Act regulates international marriage, primarily to restrict misuse of the institution of marriage to immigrate to the country.
Pakistan, Afghanistan[edit]
Frequent among Pashtun and Baloch tribes near the Durand Line where marriage between transborder corresponding their cultures are frequent. The straddling of people between the border has been a contentious ongoing issue between the two countries.

Things You Have To Understand In Acquiring A Firearm
Be sure that your smoke alarm has working batteries. With his perfect tools and skilled hands he's capable of creating duplicate keys of any lock. You see, Safes come with a combination that is preset by the factory.
Krugerrand gold coins are the oldest of all of the present day gold bullion coins. Launched in 1967 by the South African government, their level of popularity grew to be so great that it resulted in the mintage of other well-known gold bullion coins including the Canadian Gold Maple Leaf and the American Gold Eagle.
Keep your guns away from children. We have heard of many cases where kids accidentally shoot other family members because they play with guns. Even if you do not allow your kids to play or even hold your guns, there are still great chances that they can take hold of it. Erase this possibility by having gun Safes at home and with only you knowing the lock combination.
So five standard rifles with no large attachments should fit without much trouble at all. However, if you happen to have larger scopes and other attachments fitted to your rifles, that capacity is almost halved. Depending on the size of your gun it may be that any accessories that hang off the side of your weapons are going to get in the way of the gun next to it.
Can easily upgrade - If you have to start out with a basic system, then you can easily upgrade your system when you have more Cash Safes to put towards your home safes.
Do you want the safe to be fire proof? A lot of security Home Safes are simply fire resistant and not fire proof. If you do not need a fire resistant safe, then why pay for one?
After you have decided on a random number for your safe you may want to write it down under a fake name in your address book. Make a note of it so that it looks like an email address or a phone number.
Use your safe everyday so it becomes routine. Protect the safe code and change it occasionally. There are also models available that open using your fingerprint (very cool!).
Anyhow, with the primary lobby aside, one will proceed to the actual resort. It's worth quite a lot of cash, but not something you would ever think of locking up in a safe or taking to the bank.

Duke, we did everything we could to save you from the cancer. I so hoped and prayed that you would go into remission and be with me longer, but I am happy for the few extra months I got. I am also glad that, once you decided to cross Rainbow Bridge, you went with God. I will miss your sweet disposition, your big ears, your love, your begging for chicken strips, your following me everywhere, your feet in the water bowl, and other little quirky traits you picked up from Storm. You had no bad habits, and I so wish you had been able to pass that on to Rocky. My heart will always ache for you, my dear friend, and I will always love and miss you. I am glad Storm and I walked a different way that day back in Oct. of 1999 and saw you sitting in the neighbor's yard. You gave so much joy to my life, and I truly thank you for that. Good bye my friend. No more pain and suffering and no more cancer. You can run and play again. I am sure Storm will be glad to see you.
Almost a year now, Duke, and we are always talking about you and telling Rocky what a good dog you were. I wish you had been able to teach him more before you got sick. He barks too much but is very sweet and he misses you too.
May 20, 2012. It seems like you have been gone longer than a year, Duke. We miss you every day and always talk about what a good dog you were. My brother, John, in the Philippines, says you are the best dog he ever knew. Some kind person signed your guest book today on this first anniversary of your passing, which was very nice. Bye for now, my friend. I love you.
May 20, 2016 As you would already know, I lost John on May 12, 2013, so I forgot about your memorial for awhile. But I am back now and wanted you to know Rocky and I still think about you and miss you. Rocky is in an obedience class, and is not doing very well. I also hope you can find and play with Bruno, the Anaheim Police dog, who died this past Wed. I love you and miss you, Duke!! Love, Mom

11 Cool facts about the first non-Korean K-pop band EXP
Have you heard of the non-Korean K-pop band EXP? If you haven't, you're in for a treat! EXP is the first and only K-pop boy band made in New York City. Though they're K-pop, none of the five members are Korean. Scroll down to check out the 11 cool facts about the first non-Korean K-pop band EXP!
1. EXP is the first and only non-Korean K-pop group
EXP's five members, Hunter, Koki, Frankie, Sime and Tarion, come from many parts of the world like Hong Kong, Croatia, and the United States.
2. EXP started out as an experimental project of a Columbia University graduate student
EXP debuted after Bora Kim, a Columbia University graduate student, turned her thesis into a successful Kickstarter campaign, raising enough seed money to make a boy band. The band's name comes from the first three letters of the word "experiment."
3. EXP is the first K-pop band made by three women
Unlike EXO, BIGBANG, or GOT7, which are formed by K-pop's mega agencies, EXP was made from scratch by three Asian women. Bora Kim, Karin Kuroda, and Samantha Y. Shao initiated the I'm Making a Boy Band (IMMABB) project to recruit and debut the five EXP members. The project was born to illustrate concepts like gender roles in pop culture and their impact on other issues in globalized society.
4. The boys come from diverse backgrounds
The five members come from diverse musical backgrounds like opera, jazz, pop, R&B, and musical theater. Their music producer comes from an EDM and dance background, and together they create what's uniquely EXP.
5. EXP is K-pop and a few other genres
"It's a hybrid of a few different genres," Hunter said when asked to describe their music style.
As the first K-pop boy band made in NYC, EXP embraces various cultures and genres of music. Though none of the five members are Korean, EXP labels their music as K-pop because of their highly skilled choreography, songs sung in Korean, and love of Korean fandom culture.
6. EXP sings in Korean and English
EXP's two singles, "LUV/WRONG" and "Feel Like This," are sung in both Korean and English. Moving forward, they hope to sing more in Korean. They take daily two-hour Korean lessons from Bora. KBS, one of the three big broadcasting channels in Korea, filmed a documentary about them in January. EXP is planning its Korean debut this summer.
7. EXP members write their own lyrics
Most of the members come from a songwriting background. They write the English version of the song and Bora translates it into Korean. Their ultimate goal is to write their songs in Korean.
8. EXP is inspired by Zion. T, CL, and Michael Jackson
EXP says their music is inspired by American and Korean artists like Zion. T, CL of 2NE1, and Michael Jackson. The members are keen on creating an eclectic blend of American and Korean pop music.
9. EXP wants to film a variety show in Korea
"I'd love to be on a variety show with these guys," Tarion (second from the left in photo) said when asked what they'd like to do in Korea. He added that Hunter (third from the left) will probably outdo the rest of the members.
10. EXP challenges boundaries of K-pop
"It feels amazing. We're all doing something that's never been done before and we're breaking boundaries," Hunter said, challenging the notion of K-pop for the audience. Is K-pop simply a music style? Must K-pop groups have a Korean member? In other words, what constitutes K-pop?
11. Their third single will be out soon
EXP's upcoming mini album EXPeriment will include two new singles and three music videos. In the meantime, check out EXP's single "Feel Like This" below:

In an exclusive letter penned for Sports Illustrated, LeBron James announced on Friday that he will be "Coming Home" to play for his former team, the Cleveland Cavaliers.
It seems anyone who's ever even seen a basketball has an opinion on LeBron's most recent "Decision." Below, we've collected some of the more comedic examples. As for that guy Greg in your accounting department, just tell him to go away because you're busy or whatever.
Naturally, King James himself was the first to get in on the action.

While we have our fair share of imports and foreign cars here in the United States, it doesn't seem to even come close to the affect that American muscle cars have on our friends overseas in European countries. We've seen a huge muscle car culture in countries like Finland, but this time we get to see and hear this beautiful black on black killer combo of a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 from a shop that is unique in itself.
First, a little bit of history. 1969 was perhaps the best year for the Ford Mustang in terms of performance benchmarks. The company offered six factory performance Mustang models during that time: the GT, Boss 302, Boss 429, Shelby GT350, Shelby GT500 and the Mach 1. There were seven options available for the V-8 package that comes with the 1969-1970 models, with most of these made available for the new Mach 1. The Mach 1 became an instant success with sales of up to 72,458 in 1969 which led Ford to discontinue the GT model with only a mere 5,396 units sold also during that period. The Mustang would not wear the "GT" badge again until 1982.
Though many owners and enthusiasts opted for resto-mod visual conversions for the Mach 1, the model itself only comes in a 'SportsRoof' body style, previously known as the 'Fastback', and no options were made for a hardtop or convertible. The Mach 1's original recipe was simple: have a V8 powered 'Sportsroof' body and added numerous visual and performance enhancing items such as matte black hood treatment with hood pins, hood scoop (including optional Shaker scoop), competition suspension, chrome pop-open gas cap, revised wheels with Goodyear Polyglas tires, chrome exhaust tips (except 351W 2V), deluxe interior, unmissable livery and dealer optional chin spoiler, rear deck spoiler, and rear window louvers and then you have one exquisitely styled performance car that is sure to make heads turn.
So what makes this German-restored horse unique? Back in 1969 Ford produced less than 6000 Mach 1 Mustangs powered with an optional 428 Cobra Jet engine/Ram Air and 4-speed transmission. To further sweeten the deal, the motoring company had 237 of these muscle cars donned with a exquisitely stylish black on black color combo. As if this is not enough, Ford fitted 184 of these 237 'Raven Black' '69 Mustangs with their patented disc brakes. One glorious example from these 184 beauties eventually landed overseas and restored to its original glory, by a shop that is unique in itself.
The Kult Cars shop based in Kissing, Germany is in the business of restoring classic American muscle cars for decades, working with muscle cars from 1960s to '70s. Their work is primarily devoted to these performance vehicles assuring the highest degree of restoration.
Having been through a full restoration, this Ford Mustang Mach 1 turned out to be simply amazing. Completing the glorious look of this car is a super straight body design sitting on a rebuilt chassis, new chrome & glass, perfectly aligned panels and 15-inch Magnum 500's. Surely, it's not all about looks. The 335 horse power 428 Cobra Jet Ram Air engine and the Manual 4-speed transmission of this 1969 Mustang Mach 1 are all original as confirmed by the Marti Report.

Trinity Foundation Receives Cardiac Funding
Date: October 28th, 2011
Contact/Phone: Mary Muhlbradt

All Press Releases
(MINOT, ND)-The Trinity Health Foundation has received a $75,000 grant from the William Randolph Hearst Foundation to support Trinity's rural cardiac care initiative.
Last year the Trinity Foundation launched a $1.7 million campaign to equip rural ambulance services and health providers with 12-lead EKG and other equipment needed to respond quickly to STEMI heart attacks, a type of heart attack caused by blockage of a coronary artery.
Dozens of rural providers are slated to receive the live-saving equipment under Trinity's initiative. A statewide project is also underway to create a statewide "STEMI system."
Trinity Foundation Director Amy Moen says this is the first grant that the Hearst Foundations have awarded in North Dakota. The Hearst Foundations is headquartered in New York and San Francisco with a focus on enhancing education, health, culture and social services.

Critic Reviews for Kicked in the Head
All Critics (9) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (8)
A sophomore jinx, this is a disappointing follow up to Matthew Harris's striking debut, Rhythm Thief; the acting, though, is good.
Nothing seemed to really work well, yet all the supporting characters seemed to be pleasant and trying their best to make things work.

ALBANY --The U.S. Department of Agriculture has declared a disaster in 19 upstate New York counties where the severe winter has caused extensive damage to the region's vineyards.
Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer say Wednesday's declaration is intended to provide relief to grape growers and other farmers. The declaration covers primary areas in Cattaraugus, Cayuga, Chautauqua, Oswego and Yates counties. It also includes 14 contiguous counties: Allegany, Cortland, Erie, Jefferson, Lewis, Oneida, Onondaga, Ontario, Schuyler, Seneca, Steuben, Tompkins, Wayne and Wyoming.
Farmers and growers will be eligible to apply for federal assistance to help them recover.
The counties included in the disaster declaration include those in the popular Finger Lakes wine region.
The full extent of the winter's toll on New York's $4.8 billion grape and wine industry isn't known yet.

We See Others' Failures as Courageous. We See Our Own as Shameful. Why?
Will you try something with me?
Grab a blank piece of paper, draw a line right down the middle and think of the last time you saw someone fail. It might take you a minute to remember. Got it? Now, on the left side of the paper, write down a few words describing how that failure made you think about that person.
Now, I want you to think about the last time you failed. I bet it won't take nearly as long to recall. On the right side of the paper, jot down a few words describing how that failure made you think about yourself.
Finally, compare the two. If you're like me, you probably had one or both of the following things happen.
1. When you tried to remember someone else's failure, you couldn't. But when you thought of your own, you had a laundry list of recollections.
2. The left side, where you considered that other person, had words like compassion, courage and bravery. The right side had words like shame and stupidity.
Isn't it interesting that when others fail, we tend to admire them for trying? Yet when we fail, we beat ourselves up for the very same thing. Not only that, but isn't it also amazing how quickly we forgive and forget other people's mistakes and how long we hold onto our own?
Are you cool with this? Because I'm not.
Something needs to change, and it's not the part about how forgiving we are of others' failures.
What if we just extended ourselves the same grace?
Try it, and after you do, tell me about it: email@example.com.

Designed to Fit Your Needs
Sometimes bandaging and compression garments aren't able to accommodate particularly problematic areas of swelling. That's where Swell Spots fit. Each Swell Spot was professionally designed to help address particularly troublesome areas of edema, whether it's filling concavities, contouring over and around prominences, or just padding bony areas, Swell Spots are little helpers that offer big relief!
How Do Swell Spots Work?
Swell Spots utilize the same core principles of fluid dynamics and lymphatic stimulation as our Tribute and Caresia lymphedema products. When used with your bandaging or compression garment protocol, Swell Spots' unique foam particles nestle into tissue to create localized tissue stretch and pressure differential. This tissue stretch opens initial lymphatic gaps to encourage re-absorbtion of interstitial fluids and particles. This means Swell Spots help break up fibrosis and move fluid where it needs to go!
Grey vs Black
Most of our Swell Spots use both a grey and black colored fabric, each with it's own unique purpose. The grey fabric is specifically designed to be used against your skin in order to provide a gentle grip, keeping your Swell Spot in place and helping to create the localized tissue stretch necessary to move fluid and break up fibrosis.
Easy to Use, Easy to Care For
Swell Spots are made with the same materials that we use in each of our Tribute garments, that means that taking care of your Swell Spots is as easy as using them in your current lymphedema protocols. To wash your Swell Spots, just toss them in your washing machine with a normal load of laundry and machine dry (remember, do not use bleach or fabric softeners in the washing and drying process). For additional care instructions or helpful hints, please refer to your Swell Spots user guide.

A frustrating start to the morning on the phone to o2 so I'm a bit behind schedule. Basically, the dropped my upgrade from platinum to gold for no reason. Spent ages on the phone going around in circles so when I asked them to put it in plain English in an email, they eventually gave me my platinum upgrade back. These companies really frustrate me - I've had the same old iPhone 3 for two years - they were all nice to me when it was time to renew my contract a couple of months ago but when I go looking for a new phone, it's a different bloody story. I digress.
Two form study bets today, here's Timeform's comments:
4.20 Towc - Hit The Switch
Really benefited for move to this yard, fending off a well-handicapped
rival at Bangor prior to taking massive step forward when adding to that
at Sedgefield. Clearly ahead of the assessor.
7.00 Kemp - Syrenka
Most encouraging start when a keeping-on fourth in a 7f minor event at
Newbury last month. Sure to have learnt plenty from that and tough to
beat having sights lowered here.
In the handicaps, Royale Knight is worth a punt (4.50 Towc) and looks ahead of the handicap off the same winning mark as Saturday.
Haven't had time to look at the financial markets because of the phone call to o2.
On another note, I'm starting my evening course in psychology in Trinity College tonight - looking forward to it very much.
Best of luck with your trading and betting.

A consistent 25 percent of the inmates at the Harris County Jail are treated for mental health issues which landed them in jail in the first place. It's a psychiatric center of last resort, but it doesn't begin to address what's called the lack of state funding for mental health in Texas, but a new proposal may.
Rhonda White, whose uncle is mentally ill, said, "We called the police. That was all we could do at that point and they couldn't do a thing."
If you want to hear how the mental health system functions in Texas, listen to Rhonda.
"Urinating in the trashcan, throwing things, tearing up the room," she described her uncle's behavior.
On New Year's Day, her 84-year-old uncle set fire to the house she owned. White had taken him to the VA after he became increasingly violent. He was sent home. Now he's in jail, charged with arson.
"At 84 years old, it didn't have to be like that," White said.
That is just one story linked to the cuts in mental health funding over the years. Texas is now ranked last in that spending -- about $36 spent per capita versus a national average of $109. But what happened in Connecticut may change that. Houston lawmaker Sylvester Turner is asking the Texas legislature to increase its funding by $250 million.
"We must move away from the crisis based system, which leaves our jails and emergency rooms as defacto mental health providers, and puts all of us at risk, including our children," Turner said.
It has bipartisan support, Turner says, and the support of Houston's police chief and Harris County's sheriff. What the state doesn't pay for, local taxpayers do.
Harris County Sheriff Adrian Garcia explained, "It turns into more overtime for cops. It turns into more medicine in the jailhouse. It turns into more detention officers in the county jail."
Funding will be debated in the legislature. Though Turner says a failure to increase the spending has a peril.
"Texas is a time bomb," he said. "We're facing a mental health crisis in this state."
The legislature convenes in Austin next week.

The Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve (formerly called the Layton Wetlands Preserve) was The Nature Conservancy's first preserve in Utah. The wetlands of the Great Salt Lake provide important nesting and foraging habitat for over 250 species of birds. The lake is a critical link in the Pacific Flyway between North and South America. In fact, so many birds (between four and six million!) visit, feed and nest at the lake and its wetlands annually, it has been named as one of only seventeen sites of Hemispheric Importance in the Western Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve Network, an internationally important designation.
Going Green
As part of The Nature Conservancy's strategies to reduce its footprint, we've initiated a solar program that aims to offset 100 percent of the energy use at our six main facilities, including the Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve. Through a grant generously provided by the John B. and Geraldine W. Goddard Family Foundation, we've installed roof-mounted solar panels and ground-mount arrays at the Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve Visitor Center.
By making our operations greener and cleaner, we can help mitigate the effects of climate change both here at home and around the world.
What the Conservancy Has Done/Is Doing
The Nature Conservancy has worked for more than 20 years to protect the Great Salt Lake and its wetlands. Conservation strategies implemented by the Conservancy range from land acquisition and community outreach and planning to partnerships with government agencies, public committees, and private conservation groups. The Conservancy's Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve protects over 4,400 acres--almost 11 miles--of critical wetland and upland habitat along the Lake's eastern shore. Another key initiative is the Conservancy's work with Davis County communities and Envision Utah to help implement innovative strategies to promote balanced growth while preserving wildlife habitat and open space.
In a new effort to ensure the long-term health of the Great Salt Lake ecosystem, the Conservancy is now working with various partners to support the effort to create numeric water quality standards for the Lake.
The Conservancy is thrilled that the visitor center offers easy access to the preserve, serving as a hub for our education and outreach programs, which include naturalist-guided tours for school groups and the public during birdwatching seasons. To learn more, contact our office at (801) 531-0999.
What to See: Plants
A mosaic of habitat types is present, primarily in response to hydrology and the influence of salts in the soil. You will see freshwater marshes, mud flats, salt marshes and adjoining uplands. The close association of these habitat types insures a high level of natural diversity.
What to See: Animals
Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve is the lake's largest nesting area for white-faced ibis. The preserve is also home to a large concentration of snowy plovers, American avocets and black-necked stilts, which nest along the shorelines on saline flats and in bulrush marshes. Large numbers of waterfowl including redhead, cinnamon teal, mallard and gadwall are reared along the lake's shores.
The visitor center features an open-air pavilion, 30-foot-high observation tower, and mile-long boardwalk trail through prime bird-watching habitat. Educational exhibits along the boardwalk offer inspiring lessons about the Lake's birdlife, habitats and the need for its protection.
How to Prepare for Your Visit
When visiting the Great Salt Lake Shorelands Preserve, be sure to bring water and mosquito repellant, and wear appropriate clothing.
Large Groups
If your group includes more than 10 people or if you are interested in a naturalist-guided school or public tour, please contact Andrea Nelson at 801-238-2330.

My dear colleagues,
One of the real joys of filling the role of Research Dean is that I am privy to all of the wonderful scholarship that our faculty generates. I am constantly amazed at our diversity of work, leadership of ideas, and excellence in execution.
This message recognizing and praising the scholarship and research we produced as a faculty in calendar year 2016 is a small token of that appreciation. I cannot claim it to be comprehensive; no doubt in compiling our achievements, I have missed some. If so, my apologies, and I will chalk up any omissions to my inability to keep up with all of our good work.
I'll begin by inviting you to peruse the list of works published in 2016 and pasted below. I myself am struck by its great diversity; we publish many law-review articles, yes, but we also publish an astonishing number of peer-reviewed articles, books, book chapters, treatises, reports, and testimony. The titles alone suggest the breadth of our scholarship and its importance to the many fields in which we write.

Let me also give a shout-out to those who have engaged in non-traditional scholarship, such as the hundreds of blog posts, Twitter campaigns, popular-media writings, media quotes and appearances, conference organizations, speaking engagements, amicus briefs, and the like. These efforts are so numerous I could not tally them all, but I wish to recognize their importance and value. In the aggregate, they show that we as a faculty are broadly visible and prolific in these forums, and our active participation in them certainly redounds to the benefit of the institution. I'd particularly like to single out Robin Feldman; Rory Little, whose presence on SCOTUSblog and media appearances on the Supreme Court are among the most widely respected; Joan Williams, whose popular-media writings, I'm betting (without empirical evidence, unfortunately), are read by more people than the writings of the entire UC Davis faculty; and Frank Wu, who made an extraordinary number of speaking appearances in 2016.
Our faculty members hold numerous positions on quasi-legislative or governmental bodies and on editorial boards of peer-reviewed journals, including the following:

Over at Forbes, Fred Cavazza has proposed six pillars of social commerce (pragmatically defined as maximising sales through social media), that help take people through the three-step path to action:
Here they are in brief;
- Visibility use social media to extend the reach of your offers (Blendtec and Old Spice)
- Reputation use social media enhance brand image (Saddleback Leather and Domino's Pizza)
- Proximity use social media to get personal with customers ("no Photoshop, no BS") (Beauty Swatch)
- Contextualization use social media to connect with customers in their world (Canon on Flickr)
- Recommendation use social media to drive product recommendations WhereToGetIt, Etsy Gifts, Hunch)
- Customer care use social media as a customer service channel
Forbes' six 'pillars' are useful insofar as they remind us that social commerce as more than just adding a shop tab to your Facebook page.
Social commerce is about harnessing social media as a sales tool – whether that means attracting customers, selling to them or servicing them.
Social commerce is not a retail revolution, it is simply making retail better with social technology (and as the article correctly points, social commerce not only not a 'revolution', it's not new either – online social commerce is a very 20th Century affair, pioneered by Amazon and eBay).
We like this – although it does blur the boundaries (perhaps properly) between marketing (attracting customers), sales (driving revenue), and service (customer support). We'd prefer to use the term "social business" as an envelope term for this general business use of social media – and keep 'social commerce' with a shopping focus.
Sure, social commerce is more than shop tabs in social media, but surely where there's no shopping there's no commerce.

eFront also trains users and administrators in order to get the most out of the available features and functionality. The eFront courses are designed with three objectives in mind: instruct, entertain and inform, and most importantly, suit your company's specific context. The training session put an emphasis on your own terminology coupled with your "habits and customs"; the examples used during the training directly stem from your company's internal procedures and data (e.g. for the automatic production of reports). A specific course is also available for administrators of eFront solutions.
