The Securities and Exchange Commission has fined BNY Mellon $24 million and has banned a former manager of institutional trading at Mellon Securities from associating with any broker dealer firm after carrying out what it called an "eight-year best execution fraud."
Banned is Mark Shaw, who was an institutional order desk manager at the former Mellon Securities from March 1999 until May 2008 when he was fired by BNY Mellon, the large asset management and securities services firms.
Shaw has been ordered to pay costs of $368, 591 and was "barred from association with any broker or dealer." The SEC on Jan 14 also censured Mellon Securities for failing "reasonably to supervise the order desk manager and traders on its institutional order desk." BNY Mellon shut down Mellon Securities in 2009.
BNY Mellon suspended cross-trading activity by Mellon Securities on 31 March, 2008 and launched an internal investigation which led to Shaw's dismissal on May 2, 2008.
BNY Mellon, created through the merger of the former Bank of New York and Mellon, reported the investigation to the SEC on July 22, 2008.
Of the $24 million that must be paid by BNY Mellon, about $19.3 is for disgorgement and $3.7 million is for what the SEC called "pre-judgement." BNY Mellon, which reported full-year revenue of $7.7 billion in 2009, has also devised a plan to create a 'fair fund' to compensate plan clients "fairly and proportionately" for losses attributable to cross trades conducted by Shaw and his team.
"This settlement reflects a series of remedial actions already taken by BNY Mellon, including internal reviews that first identified the matter; voluntary self-reporting to the SEC; and cooperation with the SEC's subsequent investigation. BNY Mellon has taken the appropriate steps to ensure that this type of activity does not occur again," BNY Mellon said, in a statement on the case.
Shaw stood to personally gain from the scam. according to the SEC. The level of Shaw's annual bonus depended in part on the desk's commission earnings, it said. Mellon Securities' institutional order desk was paid two cents per share for executing orders for MIS's plan customers while hedge funds paid the firm between two and six cents per share. "The order desk's annual bonus pool depended in part upon the commissions it generated, and the order desk manager [Shaw] determined how he and the traders under his supervision shared in the bonus pool," wrote the SEC, Friday, January 14, 2011.
While at Mellon Securities, Shaw was responsible for executing orders on behalf of Mellon Investor Services (MIS), an administrator and transfer agent.
According to the SEC, he deprived many among MIS's 600 plan clients of best execution by executing their orders at stale or inferior prices – often outside the US National Best Bid and Offer (NBBO) – in cross trades that gave better prices to hedge fund clients. NBBO refers to the SEC rule requiring brokers to guarantee that their customers receive the best prevailing ask price when they purchase securities.
Here is how Shaw perpetuated his scam, according to the SEC:
He manipulated the latency of a a regional U.S. exchange's order management system. In December 2006, the regional exchange, added a functionality called the "validated cross window."
The "validated cross window" allowed member firms of the regional exchange to freeze the NBBO for a security.
That's how Shaw to obtain lower prices for hedge fund clients that wanted to cross-sell orders from customers of a plan or vice versa.
"The validated cross window validated a market, meaning the NBBO, by capturing and freezing a snapshot of the NBBO market for a security at the moment a member firm broker typed the security symbol into the system. At the same moment, a window expiration timer was initiated.
The timer gave the broker up to three minutes to fill in the required fields including quantity and price, and to submit the trade for execution and reporting."
Although the validated cross window was only introduced by the regional exchange in 2006, Shaw and his colleagues had been following similar practices previously on a more manual basis, said the SEC which never identified the regional exchange.
Why didn't Shaw's superiors catch up to his scam sooner? According to the SEC, Mellon Securities did have a best execution committee and quarterly reports showed that Mellon Securities was executing orders substantially outside the prevailing NBBO but the committee did nothing to stop the practice. The SEC said that Mellon Securities did not establish procedures to evaluate its best execution exception reports or to determine whether Shaw, as an institutional order desk manager, was fulfilling his responsibilities. Shaw also happened to be a member of the best execution committee
"The only ongoing monitoring and review of the effectiveness of these procedures in detecting or preventing violations was a daily best execution review by the order desk manager of executions on regional exchanges," said the SEC. "The order desk manager never conducted such a review and Mellon Securities did not have procedures to determine whether he was fulfilling his responsibility to do so.
If Mellon Securities did have such procedures in place, it would have discovered that the order desk manager never conducted such a review and likely would have prevented his violations.

This week furious opposition to, and support of, euthanasia, (largely based on the concept of the sanctity of life) has run rampantly alongside furious opposition to, and support of, financial incentives for heroin addicts to become sterilised. The moral questions surrounding these stories are enormous. And the answers overlap.
Two unrelated stories appeared in the news this week. Cristina Odone wrote a deeply personal piece in the Daily Telegraph on refusing to help her father terminate his life, foreshadowing the publication of her report for the Centre for Policy Studies, entitled Assisted Suicide: How the Chattering Classes Got it Wrong. Meanwhile, the first ever UK heroin addict took American charity Project Prevention up on their offer to pay him £200 to have a vasectomy.
One resolves around the circumstances under which we can terminate our own lives; the other revolves around the circumstances under which we can create new ones. Or rather, the circumstances under which we can make sure we don't create new ones.
Cristina Odone argues that we should channel far more resources into improving palliative care, or even care for our sick loved ones at home if we can. Her argument is that we should not be ending someone's life just because we, as a nation, are too cheap, lazy or incompetent to give them the necessary care to make their lives bearable. Well, that's all true, and I doubt any supporters of euthanasia would argue that palliative care shouldn't be improved for those who choose it. My question is, should people whose suffering won't end no matter how good their care is, be forced to go on suffering indefinitely, just because Cristina Odone's own story turned out the way it did?
Because while Odone's story is incredibly moving, it doesn't apply universally. As with most personal anecdotes, it is about the personal; the specific. It is, as such, not sound basis for policy-making. If euthanasia was legal – with proper safeguards as is the case in the Netherlands – nobody would force Odone to allow her father's life to be terminated. But while it is not legal, other people are denied that same luxury of choice that she enjoyed.
Meanwhile, Barbara Harris from North Carolina has found her first UK 'customer' for her charity Project Prevention.
Barbara Harris set up her charity after adopting four children whose mother was a crack addict. Their suffering prompted her to give incentives to drug addicts for using long-term or irreversible birth control methods.
Coming hot on the heels of comments from Culture Minister Jeremy Hunt that poorer parents should not expect unlimited government support for large families, a debate about the rights and responsibilities of parenthood has been well and truly sparked.
Drugs charities like Addaction have lambasted the scheme, saying it "has no place" in the UK, and exploits drug addicts at their most vulnerable.
And if the state was bribing drug addicts to have vasectomies or use long-term birth control methods (something else Project Preventions offer), I would agree with them. It would be sinister, verging on horrifying. But a free transaction between two private individuals? If we make those our business, how many other similar transactions are we going to object to? Alcoholics being sold beer? People with learning difficulties going on reality TV shows? Obese people being sold chips? Stupid people being sold, well, anything at all?
If this anonymous man – 'John', as the papers are calling him – had decided to have this operation of his own volition, which he says he was planning to do at some point anyway (and surely no-one who one day hopes to be, or more to the point, is ever going to be, a loving, nurturing parent, would change their mind when presented with the offer of £200?) would his 'vulnerable' status as a drug addict mean that he would be denied that right to choose?
Both Cristina Odone and Addaction risk creating a society in which the most vulnerable amongst us are not able to make choices for themselves. Sometimes those we deem to be "vulnerable" will base important, life-changing decisions on factors that other people don't consider valid, be it severe distress, or the prospect of being given two hundred quid. Just as everybody else does.
No matter how "vulnerable" an individual is, they are further invalidated in society when we start making their choices for them. While people are still in control of their faculties, while they are able to love, hate, vote and generally have an opinion one way or the other about any particular issue, surely we shouldn't presume that we know better than they do, just because they are "vulnerable"? Indeed, these are the very people in society to whom liberty is the most important of all.

Wilson, the lead singer of the Gap Band, is a prostate cancer survivor. He was first diagnosed with the disease in 2008, and Thursday he encouraged men to get screened.
"I just say to all the men: just man up and go get a checkup," said Wilson. "I know you are ashamed - some of us are ashamed to go get the exam. But I say to you: it's senseless to die of shame."
Daley said one in every six American men are diagnosed with the disease each year. He also thanked Wilson for using his fame and talent to help fight the disease.
Prostate cancer killed 27,000 men in the U.S. last year. Statistics show that African-American men are almost 1.6 times more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than Caucasian men.
April is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month.

Study: No racial disparity in life expectancy for dementia
In their study of 1,715 elderly Chicago residents, researchers at Rush University Medical Center used a different approach than previous investigators. Rather than analyzing medical records to determine rates of decreased life expectancy, researchers performed a series of clinical exams, which included cognitive tests and medical histories for all study participants. Slightly more than half the participants were black. Of the trial subjects, 17.3% had Alzheimer's, 34.8% had a milder dementia, 1.2% had a different form of dementia and 46.8% had no impairments.
After a 10-year follow-up period, researchers confirmed that risk of premature death rises with severity of dementia. Patients with mild dementia were 50% more likely to die, while those with Alzheimer's were at a 300% greater risk. Unlike earlier studies, however, Rush University researchers found no racial disparity in their results. The full study appears in the June issue of the Archives of Neurology.

A book titled "Tartu Song Festivals Album" written by Juhani Püttsepp and designed by Maarja Roosi will be published by the time of Tartu Song Festival of 13 June 2009. Donations are welcome to support its publication and advanced booking has also begun.
The writer Juhani Püttsepp says: "Preparing for the 2009 festival, the book tells the story of past song festivals in Tartu County and the roots of the tradition in the form of a festive album. We've tried to build bridges between the past and the present and looked at both today's and former leading organizers. The album should, in fact, be seen as a song with its own flow - first and foremost one integral work of art, not just a reference book. An old song we are now joyously singing again".
The album contains a short summary in English, which makes it a distinguished gift for visitors, too. It includes a list of all song festivals in Tartu County until today and of all participants of this year's festival. The book has 144 pages, on all of which interesting design plays an important role besides the text.
In a big part, the publication of the book is supported by the Foundation for Tartu Song and Dance Festivals at the Cultural Endowment of Tartu. To date, donations have been made in addition to the city of Tartu by several municipalities in Tartu County and some funds have been collected at Cultural Endowment's donation box concerts (to borrow the donation box, please contact the Cultural Endowment).
You can support the song festival album by transferring your donation to the bank account No 10102052050006 of "SA Tartu Kultuurkapital" in SEB (IBAN EE251010102052050006), giving "Tartu Laulupidu" as the payment's explanation. Cultural Endowment of Tartu will enter into an agreement with the donating company for accounting purposes. Bigger donors will be listed in the book (legal persons from 5,000 kroons and natural persons from 500 kroons). All donors will be mentioned on Tartu Song Festival's webpage (http://laulupidu.tartu.ee) and on Cultural Endowment of Tartu's webpage (http://www.kultuurkapital.ee)."Tartu Song Festivals Album" can be ordered in advance.

YONKERS, NY--(Marketwired - July 17, 2017) - Even though an estimated 760,000 children and adults in the U.S. have well-developed symptoms of cerebral palsy (CP), the complexities of the condition can generate confusion about it among the general public.
To stimulate clarity and understanding about CP, attorneys with The Fitzgerald Law Firm have developed an online information page that utilizes laymen's terms to illustrate the specifics of the condition.
The CP information page can be found at http://bit.ly/cerebral-palsy-info.
"More than 10,000 babies are born in the U.S. each year with various symptoms of CP," said one Fitzgerald attorney. "Triggered by a disruption during the development of the brain, usually before the child is born or during the delivery process, CP can rob a child of their ability of movement, coordination and muscle tone."
Not surprisingly, CP is among the most common forms of birth injuries. In addition to certain situations (fetal stroke, abnormal development of the brain, lack of oxygen and others) that can lead to the development of CP, it can also be caused by certain forms of medical malpractice, including:
"Information is power, and this page provides parents of children with CP plenty of power as they decide whether or not to pursue legal action to recover proper compensation necessary to provide care for their loved one," said the Fitzgerald attorney.
About The Fitzgerald Law Firm: The Fitzgerald Law Firm, is a medical malpractice law firm in New York focused in protecting the rights of their clients who have suffered from medical malpractice injuries and hospital negligence.

Teaching Fluency
Forming hands into conch shells as an echo chamber.
Trying this ... mini cars!
Charting progress after using mini cars.
This is our first day using mini cars. I would recommend rereading the sentence if reading sounds choppy.
Will THIS help?
High Frequency Words
Sleepless Nights
So many sleepless nights this week!
After gathering and carefully examining data from mid-year testing, I can't sleep. I question my lesson plans and teaching moves for a few struggling readers who are still not reading at an acceptable rate. These students remain at the bottom of the class according to AIMSweb data, showing minimal growth in reading fluency.
Classroom Observations
Reading sounds more like a cadence and lacks expression for some of our second and third graders. Even at an independent reading level, their reading is dysfluent with random pauses and short phrases. It seems that we have tried everything: modeling fluent reading, rereading familiar text, lots of easy reading and even reader's theater. Nothing seems to help.
Turning to Research for Best Practices
How long do I keep trying before giving up? Tossing and turning all night, I'm determined to help these readers. Early in the morning, before my alarm clock rings, I'm at my computer researching sound teaching methods.
Classroom Implementation
I'm committed to apply the research of Lucy Calkins as well as recommendations from Jessica Tobin's Fluency Webinar into our classroom. We're trying Tobin's suggestion of using mini cars to roll smoothly under the words. After a few days of using this method, our readers seem to be more aware of their starts and stops in oral reading and are training their eyes to keep moving through print. On Tuesday, our mini lesson included Lucy Calkin's recommendation of forming student's hands into a conch shell as if its an echo chamber in order to listen to themselves read. As I write lesson plans, a list of best practices serve as reminders: teacher modeling of oral reading, talking with students about the passage to ensure comprehension, allowing students to chart their progress of words per minute, continue phonics instruction with Words Their Way and check on sight word knowledge for each reader. Fountas and Pinnell believe "many struggling readers...have developed deeply ingrained habits of reading slowly without expression." Perhaps sliding my finger over the text while students read, will help as well. Research is clear. Text levels for fluency practice must be at students' independent reading levels. Trying again... not giving up on myself or my readers!

Nell Bryden – 04/11/2015 – The Caves, Edinburgh – In association with "Fake Frown Acoustic Sessions".
The head-line act of a night of fantastic female performances was from the wonderful Nell Bryden who was accompanied by her three piece male band. They walked onstage and Nell began by going straight into her first song "Tonight" taken from the album "What does it take". This wonderful catchy and upbeat song echoed through the vaulted ceilings of the venue and proved to be a great indicator of what was to come from the fantastic foursome. After rapturous applause, a beaming Nell thanked the crowd and spoke of her delight of returning to Scotland to perform. She informed us she was spotted on the street earlier that day by a fan and jokingly told us she felt very famous. "Buildings and treetops" was next up, a beautiful acoustic number from the 2012 album "Shake the tree".
"Feels so good to cry" had a slight Joni Mitchell style with powerful and emotional lyrics which for me were a personal favorite, on which Nell played a 1964 Gibson 12 string guitar (very impressive). Each song was unique and different from the previous, taking the audience on a journey through her impressive back catalogue along with some new numbers. "All you had" from the Wayferer album also struck a note beginning as a slow number before halfway through changing direction into a faster upbeat tempo song, its seemed like it shouldn't work but it did.
She invited Judith Owen back on stage to join her for "Holes in my shoes", a song they composed in Nashville with Kimmie Rhodes, both their vocals singing harmoniously together and the audience showed their appreciation for the music.
Nell is such a charismatic and dedicated performer, her enjoyment of doing so evident to see by anyone lucky enough to catch her live. She took the audience on a journey through a tunnel of emotions which seemed to pass in the blink of an eye. In what felt like only a minute of being on stage, she announced her final song "Second time around", another track from 2009's "What does it take".
Nell Bryden is a strong and powerful singer songwriter, unafraid to try new things and who certainly doesn't focus on the past. She has successfully managed to make a name for herself in an industry which can often be superficial and often hung up on fitting into what is deemed the "norm". Nell Bryden is certainly not someone that I would place in this category and I have an unending admiration for her as a result. She knows what she wants and isn't afraid to put in the hard work to achieve it, as clearly seen by the self financing of her first album or doing tours for the troops abroad.
Big things are happening for Nell in 2016. She will be performing a radio show every Monday night during January on BBC Radio 2 entitled "Nell's Angels". Each week she will be examining the great female artists of various musical genres which has influenced music and song writing. She already has a UK tour lined up in the coming year. Between juggling motherhood, being a wife and building upon an already successful career, things are shaping up well for this star who seems to have an endless supply of energy. I shall be tuning in to Radio 2 every Monday in January to be taken once again on a musical journey with this impressive singer and songwriter.

Access to Private Standards Incorporated Into Law
From time to time governments make law by referring to non-governmental rules. These are often technical matters on which standards are developed by outside experts. For example, a regulation might require manufacturers to comply with a safety standard of the Canadian General Standards Board or the International Standards Organization.
When this happens, should the government have to ensure that the outside standards be accessible to those affected by them? Many standards bodies finance their operation at least in part through the sale of their standards. In other words, access to the text of the standards is not free. Is that . . . [more]

The executive director of the Louisiana Music Hall of Fame told members of the Louisiana Bicentennial Commission Thursday that the Old State Capitol needs to be one of the backdrops for the state's 200th birthday.
Mike Shepherd outlined an April 29 bonanza of gospel music, marching bands and parade floats with the Old State Capitol serving as the setting for at least some of the events.
Shepherd said Bishop Joe Simon could headline the gospel concert while Mardi Gras royalty, festival queens and the state's music legends could wave to spectators from parade floats.
Several of the state's best marching bands could add an extra oomph to the celebration, he said.
"(We're) trying to do a Louisiana-style Mardi Gras parade and a birthday party," Shepherd said.
Some members of the commission questioned how the new slate of events would be funded.
With events kicking off this fall, the group is less than halfway toward its $1.9 million fundraising goal.
"How are we going to pay for it?" asked lobbyist Randy K. Haynie, the commission's fundraising chairman.
Shepherd's idea of a gospel concert and parade would be sandwiched between an already planned April 28 family homecoming event on the State Capitol grounds and birthday cake at the State Capitol on April 30, the actual anniversary of Louisiana becoming a state.
"Three days of events is ambitious, but it only comes around once every 100 years," said Patrick Mould, a member of the commission's music and food committees.
In the end, the commission agreed to look at how much it would cost to stage the concert and the parade.
The celebration of Louisiana becoming a state is scheduled to run from Sept. 1, 2011, to Dec. 31, 2012.
To generate money for the statehood commemoration, the commission is seeking money from donors, asking tax filers to donate their refunds and selling merchandise.
Events include:
• A Mignon Faget exhibit with bicentennial designs beginning Nov. 17 at the State Museum in downtown Baton Rouge.
• A kickoff event late in 2011 at Kent Plantation House in Alexandria.
• A gala in March.
• An August parade in New Orleans.
To celebrate the centennial in 1912, the state held a military parade, hosted dignitaries from other nations and celebrated with a banquet at what was then the Grunewald hotel in New Orleans.

March 29, 1998New and Noteworthy Paperbacks
By LAUREL GRAEBERAT HIS SIDE: The Last Years of Isaac Babel
By A. N. Pirozhkova. Translated by Anne Frydman
and Robert L. Busch. Steerforth, $14.
Although he died young and persecuted, the Russian writer Isaac Babel (1894-1940) had the good fortune to spend his last seven years with Antonina Pirozhkova, a construction engineer who bore him a daughter. ''Her account of Babel's arrest and disappearance is so moving because she first makes Babel so fantastically alive,'' Richard Lourie said here in 1996.
By Kenzaburo Oe. Translated by Kunioki Yanagishita
and William Wetherall. Grove, $12.
This Nobel laureate's autobiographical novel focuses on the family a very famous Japanese author has left behind, emotionally as well as geographically. When the author, referred to only as K, goes to America with his wife to become a writer in residence at a California campus, their daughter, Ma-chan, becomes the caretaker of her brother, a brain-damaged young man who is, like Oe's son, extraordinarily gifted in music. This novel takes the form of Ma-chan's journal, which is both a chronicle of events and a reminder she sends her father of the life he has put aside. In 1996 our reviewer, John David Morley, wrote, ''Through the special case of this mentally retarded individual, the ordinary lives of those who interact with him are movingly illuminated.''
A PEOPLE'S TRAGEDY: The Russian Revolution, 1891-1924
By Orlando Figes. Penguin, $19.95.
The author shows that the roots of Bolshevism lay in Russian society: the population was so riven by class and ethnic hatreds after centuries of Czarist rule that a relatively small number of revolutionaries were able to persuade the peasants that Communism meant a better life. ''Figes has written a marvelous account,'' Steven Merritt Miner said in these pages last year.
By Norman Mailer. Ballantine, $6.99.
This is a life of Jesus told by Himself: a novelist's act of characteristic daring that is most original when it describes Jesus' temptation by Satan and His final hours on the cross, Reynolds Price wrote in the Book Review in 1997. This fictional Jesus ''possesses an acute eye and a ready gift for the surprising image,'' Price observed. Several of Mailer's earlier books have also been reissued, all by Vintage International. His third novel, THE DEER PARK ($13), first published in 1955, is a scathing portrayal of Hollywood, narrated by a young war hero who must decide whether he will allow his life to be borrowed and distorted by filmmakers. ''It is studded with brilliant and illuminating passages,'' John Brooks said here. BARBARY SHORE ($13), Mailer's second novel, explores the waning dreams of the American left in a story involving six characters who live in a Brooklyn rooming house. In 1951 our reviewer, Harry Sylvester, wrote, ''The result is not unlike a good modern painting.'' THE FIGHT ($12), a nonfiction chronicle, describes the boxing match in Zaire in 1974 between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman, in which Ali regained his heavyweight title. Mailer's reporting ''is quick and intelligent and sympathetic,'' Michael Wood said in these pages in 1975.
By Kirsten Bakis. Warner, $12.99.
Now that cloning is a reality, this novel's premise may not seem so fantastic: a doomed race of genetically engineered dogs who walk on two legs, speak with voice synthesizers and have, above all, the intelligence of people. ''Bakis has produced a dazzling, unforgettable meditation on what it means to be human,'' M. G. Lord wrote in the Book Review last year.
DUCHAMP: A Biography
By Calvin Tomkins. John Macrae/Owl/Holt, $16.95.
Examining without analyzing, this book captures the life of Marcel Duchamp (1887-1968), a wry genius who was as dismissive toward his fellow human beings as he was toward his art. The author ''confirms his reputation as one of the most lucid chroniclers of the modern scene,'' Deborah Solomon said here in 1996.
By Alice Hoffman. Berkley, $13.
A reimagining of ''Wuthering Heights,'' this novel deals with the destructive, undying love of March Murray, a married woman, for Hollis, the bad boy obsession of her youth. ''It is a testament to Hoffman's gifts for language and narrative . . . that the novel works at all,'' our reviewer, Karen Karbo, wrote last year.
MEMORIES OF SUMMER: When Baseball Was an Art, and Writing About It a Game
By Roger Kahn. Hyperion, $12.95.
The author recounts the years between 1947 and 1960, when many fans still depended on print rather than television to get their news of baseball. Back then, ''writers like Roger Kahn came closer to producing literature . . . than any sportswriters we are likely to see again,'' Allen Barra said in these pages last year. ME AND DIMAGGIO: A Baseball Fan Goes in Search of His Gods, by Christopher Lehmann-Haupt (Lyons, $14.95) captures not only a season (1979) but also the complicated relationship between the author, a daily book reviewer for The New York Times, and his idol, Joe DiMaggio. Now restored to print, it is ''another excellent hymn to the joys of baseball,'' Donald Hall wrote in the Book Review in 1986.

This old necklace is made of four strands of small beads in varying colors and comes with a pair of matching clip-on earrings. The beads are shaped like a miniature dumb bells or dog bones. They alternate in direction to look like a series of small round beads. They a slightly pearlized in pale pink, pale copper and maroon. Each "bone" measures about 5/16" long. The four strands are attached to a decorative, gold colored clasp bar. One end has a simple hook marked Hong Kong and the other end has series of pearlized beads culminating with a larger bead. The necklace measures roughly 16" in length including the end beads and will probably fit a 16" neck comfortably. It is in very nice condition with minimal wear
The necklace comes with matching earrings which are a simple cluster of the same beads the necklace is made of. The backs and clips appear to be made of brass and the clips are marked Hong Kong. They measure roughly 1" in diameter and are in nice condition with minimal wear and no noted damage. The clips are tight. The metal and clips show some minor discoloration. I believe this set is from the 1950's.

LOS ANGELES — Eropartner Distribution has added new Mystim products, including Hector, a bipolar e-stim butt plug, Pubic Enemy, a cock cage with e-stim function, two Spencer wheels and three new e-stim vibrators.
Hector is a bipolar e-stim butt plug with a steel helix body, available in sizes S and L. Its precise grooves are designed for intense anal stimulation and are made of hand-polished medical grade aluminum.
The Extra Spiny Spencer, a monopolar e-stim toy with small wheels that provide gentle to intense stimulation to all body parts, has over 100 spikes spread on five wheels made from steel. Also available is the Spiny Spencer, a one-wheel pinwheel. Both toys are made of 100 percent surgical stainless steel.
The Pubic Enemy No. 2 is Mystim's cock cage with e-stim function. With the urethral sound and its three conducting surfaces, left, right and under the penis shaft, the user can experience tingles, twitches or pulsations in the intensity desired. The length of Pubic Enemy No. 2 may be individually adjusted in four lengths and the diameter in six different steps, and is available in both gold and silver. Each cock cage comes with a storage case offering sufficient space for a wide range of accessories, as well as a detailed instruction manual in six languages.
Electric Eric, Sizzling Simon and Trickling Truman are e-stim vibes that provide both vibration and electrical stimulation at once, without the need for a nerve stimulator kit. These vibes can vibrate, tingle and pulsate on their own. Each has two vibration motors: one in the tip and one in the shaft, with eight different programs and five different intensity levels. In addition, the e-stim vibes have a training program to strengthen the muscles in the pelvic floor. The rechargeable vibes are all completely watertight and made of medical-grade platinum silicone. A fully charged e-stim vibe will run for at least three hours.
"We have been carrying the Mystim collection for a while now, and we have seen an increasing demand for the products," said Mischa Heins, account manager at Eropartner. "We know for a fact that our retail partners have been looking forward to expanding their offering with the new Mystim products, and we are excited about introducing these new products to them."

The heights of great men reached and kept,were not obtained by sudden flight,but they,while their companions slept,were toiling upward in the night.-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
The road to success requires hard work, determination and personal sacrifice. The road to success is narrow, it is not easy to find, the journey begins with a heart that will not rest until it is extraordinary. When you can look at the road you must traverse to get what you desire and say that you are willing to pay the price for your dreams you know you are ready to begin your journey.
It's hard work! Don't expect your dreams to be handed to you. Don't expect to become a legend overnight when you haven't put in any work. It is something you must work for! Expect that you must work daily even when the mood you made your goal in has expired.You must remain committed to your end result.
Set your mind, body, soul and every fibre of your existence into motion to do everything necessary to be your best self. Determination means you don't make excuses for yourself! You find your weaknesses and annihilate them. You never let your emotions control you.
You must make a daily commitment to your task.This requires personal sacrifice.It's about giving up pleasure now to do the work to reap greater rewards later.You must stay focused on the prize!
Who will answer the call to excellence? Who will dare to be great? Who are unafraid of becoming a legend? Anyone can become a legend. Will you be the one to overcome every obstacle standing in your way and step into the great life you desire? Only time shall tell....

11 Things you need to stop doing
- Running away from your problems:Running away is not the solution.You will never make progress until you face your demons. So get on it!
- Complaining is not the answer !: Instead focus on the positive what can be changed to make your life better now.
- Surrounding yourself with the wrong influences:This should go without saying, negative people will only bring you down to their level which is all they way at the bottom of the food chain.Where you ought to be is on top! If you do not value yourself enough you will always be led astray by the idle whims and fancies of a lesser man. But he who sees his magnificence will rise to meet many victories along with his great and loyal allies.
- Not trusting yourself: Trust your guts it will not lead you astray. Realise your worth and pay no heed to people how think you are anything but special. Rely on yourself and your abilities.Never doubt that there exists in your something that is note-worthy and meant to be expressed.
- Forgetting about your needs and how special you are: When we neglect our own needs and forget how much of unique being we are everything in our life suffers. Before we can take care of someone else's needs we must care for our own first.We cannot give what it is we do not have.
- Being engrossed with the past or future: All of your attention should be given to the present moment and how you can make this moment legendary.
- Taking the path of least resistance: Don't expect anything to be handed to you-life ain't easy! To be extraordinary you must blaze trails of your own making.
- Don't pretend!: Don't lie to yourself, Don't pretend that everything is okay, Don't put on a mask every time you leave the door.You owe it to yourself and God to allow your true self to be expressed moment by moment only then will many of the problems you encounter vanish.
- Don't pursue it unless it aligns with your values: If it ain't working then honey we are not on the same wavelength and you needs to check yourself before you wreck yourself.Don't chase after things that do not align with your core values this will save you time and regret.
- Blaming everyone else for they way your life is: Which is utter crap by the way. I don't care what the circumstances are but you are not powerless.You own whatever happens to you and you alone will reap the rewards when you take responsibility for your mess and make that mess into something beautiful.
- Being to busy for down-time: Down-time is important ,we need some time to appreciate the good in life, count our blessings and de-stress.

Grass & Wetlands
Below the Savannah of the Highveld and the forested Lowveld, lies the high marshlands of Mpumalanga's Grass and Wetlands region,within South Africa. This is a large area of hilly to mountainous grasslands with many wetlands ranging from sedge and reed marshes, forest patches, rolling hills and sheltered gorges; a rich tapestry of emerald vegetation teeming with birdlife.
Several bird species are endemic to the region, and the wetland conditions, part of a fragile, crucial ecosystem, are renowned for their environmental importance and superb birdwatching conditions. Perhaps the two most popular venues in the Grass and Wetlands region for birding enthusiasts are Chrissiesmeer, the largest freshwater lake in South Africa, and Wakkerstroom, a small town near to the KwaZulu-Natal border.

Massive landslide spotted in Alaska
Massive landslide covers 5 1/2 miles of Johns Hopkins Glacier
ANCHORAGE, Alaska | July 16, 2012
This thing is huge
Marten Geertsema
A massive landslide has covered about 5 1/2 miles of Johns Hopkins Glacier in Glacier Bay National Park in Alaska, park officials say.
The National Parks Traveler Web site said a huge chunk of the slope of 11,750-foot high Lituya Mountain sloughed off June 11 and cascaded into the valley below. It slid down with such force it registered as a small earthquake.
"This thing is huge. It's 9 kilometers long, so 5.5 miles long," Marten Geertsema, a research geomorphologist for the provincial Forest Service in British Columbia, told the Traveler Tuesday. "On the Canadian side it triggered a 3.7-magnitude earthquake. The [U.S. Geological Survey] recorded it at 3.4. That's quite large for a seismic signal [from a landslide].
"... If someone was trekking up this glacier when it happened, they would have been toast."
The cause of the slide, which was first photographed July 2 by an air taxi pilot, Drake Olson, hasn't been determined.
Geertsema said a breakdown in the permafrost on the mountain could be to blame.
"With permafrost degradation there's a whole complex suite of fractures that develop," he said. "Some of them dilate, so they open and close, but some of them are permanent. And over time it progressively weakens, the rock mass. It could have been just ready to go. It's hard to know what the factors are."
He called it biggest slide he's seen in North America, though he said one in Russia covered 20 miles.
Geertsema said it's not known whether global warming played a role in the landslide.

PORT Emergency Winter Shelter Program
PORT Annual Report 2016/2017 Season
Pick-Up Points:
Starting at approximately 4:45pm there will be 2 Pick-Ups:
Old Farmer's Market- Jefferson Ave and 25th St.
Full Gospel Church on 33rd St.
Transportation will begin at 5:15am
Old Farmer's Market- Jefferson Ave and 25th St.
Full Gospel Church on 33rd St.
PORT (People Offering Resources Together) is an emergency winter shelter that hosts an average of 100 individuals per night, for 20 weeks during the winter. The name of this program really explains it all: it's a safe harbor, made possible by a network of 130 interfaith (Christian and non-Christian) groups that provide the facilities, volunteers, food, clothes and many other resources to homeless men, women and children in our area. The shelter moves to a different church every week, and each night, there's a new group of volunteers responsible for welcoming the guests and providing at least 2 meals (dinner and breakfast) per day. Each season, PORT counts with over 5,000 volunteers that get involved in planning, cooking, or distributing clothes and hygiene donations. PORT also create jobs: while most of the manpower needed for the shelter is volunteer-based, there's a need for paid positions as well, such as: sheriff deputy to provide security in the shelter; intake and social workers to provide guests with information, job referrals, notary services, and more. The purpose of services provided in the shelter is to meet the holistic needs of the guest: emergency, short, and long term. Other services provided at PORT include: community referrals, case management, collection of homeless data, medical referrals, on-site medical evaluations and dental care, showers, provision of transportation, flu/pneumonia shots, information for affordable housing, job placement and job referrals, identification services, filing taxes, nutrition education, AA, N.A, life skills training, and more.

U.S. High-Tech Sector Shed 10% Of Work Force From 2001-2002
Manufacturing Industry Was Hit Hardest; In All, 560,000 Industry Jobs Were Cut
PALO ALTO, Calif. -- The U.S. high-technology industry shed 560,000 jobs, or 10% of its work force, during the two years from January 2001 to December 2002, according to a study from the American Electronics Association.
The unrelenting downturn that gripped the industry during that period hit manufacturing the hardest. Manufacturers wiped out 415,000 U.S. jobs, or 20% of employees. Manufacturing employment declined by almost 8%, or 137,000 jobs, in 2002 alone, the study found....

Budget deficit tops $1 trillion for fourth straight year• By Rachelle Younglai Reuters
The 2012 budget gap was $1.089 trillion, narrower than last year's deficit of $1.297 trillion because of higher corporate income tax receipts and less spending, the Treasury Department said on Friday.
The deficit equaled 7.0 percent of U.S. economic output, down from 8.7 percent last year, the department said. Economists generally consider deficits exceeding 3.0 percent of gross domestic product to be unsustainable in the long term.
The year-end budget report comes in the final weeks of the presidential election campaign, where the massive budget gap and President Barack Obama's economic policies have dominated the debate.

I have long been a much bigger fan of Christmas Eve than Christmas Day. There's something about the intensity of the build up to Christmas that makes December 24th somehow more of an occasion than December 25th – a day which, for many years in my adult life, failed to live up to expectations (not, I hasten to add, through anyone's fault but my own).
The other reason why I love Christmas Eve so much is that it brings back many happy memories of helping my Uncle Allan on his milk round. I can't remember how many years I did this for – several, certainly – but it was always one of the best things about the run up to Christmas.
I enjoyed every minute of the Christmas Eve delivery – even the time when we were left sitting for hours because a delivery lorry had overturned on the way to the depot and no-one could get out to restock us. There was the getting up stupidly early (I certainly remember 2.30am one year), then the long ride out to the village that Allan delivered to, followed by hours of trying to deliver milk as quietly as possible, whilst the village dreamed of Santa Claus.
The big challenge was how to deliver as much milk as possible that morning, sot that Allan could have as many days off as possible over Christmas. This then created another problem, because a milk float can only hold so many bottles (hence the need to be restocked 2/3 of the way round) before it either overbalances, can't move or, in our case, can't get up the very steep hill on the way to the village.
No matter how long it took, or how cold it was (many days we would eat our lunch whilst warming our hands on the gearbox of the float), it was always fun and very much a part of my own Christmas. Allan is no longer a milkman, and I'm writing this stuck in an office. I miss those days.

Last Sunday, Kourtney Kardashian has published on his page in Instagram some photos with her sisters Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner.
At first glance there is nothing remarkable on quite conventional photos taken in the dressing room is a fashionable restaurant. Pictures of this kind there are many users of the application. However, it is worth looking into the face of Kim Kardashian and the mill immediately clear why the photo caused such a stir.
In the comments, the fans are actively discussing a person's Kim Kardashian:
Good heavens, the person Kim has changed so much.
Hell, what has she done to her face? Kendall and Courtney is the only one of this family who looks natural. It's sad.
Kim's lips were swollen because of the pregnancy?
Earlier, Kim told in an interview that doing Botox injections every three months to maintain its bright appearance. However during pregnancy the star had to abandon marks.
All pregnant women gain weight and know that the face changes a lot! My nose became bigger, cheeks are fuller, and her lips were swollen,
- Kim explains her change in appearance.
Dobbin that Instagram photo of Kim that was taken after pregnancy, the face of a socialite does not look like in the picture with Courtney.

Updates about the Horticulture Wales project, along with industry news and opinion.
Leading restaurants and food businesses across south west Wales are on the lookout for locally-grown fruits and vegetables – that's the message from Horticulture Wales' recent "Buyer Meet Supplier" events…
Last month, we staged two opportunities for growers in Wales to showcase their produce to potential trade buyers – the first at Picton Castle near Haverfordwest, Pembrokeshire, followed by another at the National Botanic Garden of Wales in Carmarthenshire.
The events were attended by a range of regional hospitality businesses, including B&Bs, restaurants, and tourist attractions, as well as representatives from independent garden centres.
Growers displaying their produce at both events were overwhelmingly from the ornamental sector, with many making excellent new contacts. However, a number of buyers at both meetings were specifically interested in meeting edible growers because they were keen to source fruit and vegetables from local suppliers. Without naming any names – and ranging from restaurants and farm shops to garden centres and cafés – these businesses were some of the most respected and renowned in the region, and their interest could provide growers with some fantastic opportunities to supply them.
If you're a fruit or vegetable grower from the south west of Wales and would like to know more about these buyers keen to source locally, please do get in touch…

MADISON (WKOW) -- Local Girl Scouts are now selling their famous cookies, but the organization is about so much more than that.
The Badgerland Council will be selling cookies until March 11. This year, they'll be selling Thin Mints, Caramel deLites, Peanut Butter Patties, Peanut Butter Sandwiches, Lemonades, Thanks-A-Lots, Shortbreads, Girl Scout S'mores and Gluten-Free Trios. Cookies are $4 per box, except the Trios which are $5 per box.
The cookie-selling program helps the Badgerland Council provide educational adventures for the girls. This year's theme is "Stand Up, Stand Out," which celebrates diversity and individuality.
"When you support Girl Scouts, you're getting so much more than a box of cookies," said Badgerland CEO Marci Henderson. "The day of the transaction, you're helping her gain confidence and practice valuable business skills. Later, your generosity circles back when that Girl Scout uses her cookie earnings to complete a community service project, sign up for an overnight camp, or take a trip of a lifetime."
To learn more about the Girl Scouts or to support their programs by buying cookies, click here.

Coffee and cookies. Two of the greatest "c" words in the English language.
What makes me happy? My favorite things... coffee and cookies. I have to admit I have become quite the coffee addict since going away to college. Hey, it can't be that bad for you right- everyone has to have their own vice... I also have a love affair with cookies (sugar, shortbread,snickerdoodle, and my mom's homemade oatmeal raisin and chocolate chip). Although I am not a huge chocolate fan... I do love my mom's chocolate chip cookies- and I find it quite difficult to enjoy any other ones simply cause they fail to compare.
Don't your favorite things have a way of making you feel so good- especially when you enjoy them at home around the people you love. Good company makes everything 10 times better. There is something about our favorites that make them comforting, healing almost.
What are your faves? Do they make you feel as good as a nice, hot cookie makes me feel? (Yes, they are that much better hot- I usually warm mine up in the microwave). I encourage you to spend a whole day surrounded by your favorite things. Enjoy them and soak them in. Revel in the good feelings they bring about. Acknowledge that they are worth whatever sacrifice or cost they may entail.
Everyone has their own favorites. Think about yours. What does it take to make you happy? And after you figure it out, go treat yourself... and then go bake some cookies. :)
"No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and He will not let you be tempted beyond your strength, but with the temptation will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13
