text: For both China and India, financial reforms are much more likely to achieve the social objectives that are currently used to justify the distortion of the financial system by the government. Such reforms should be among their highest priorities. The Governments of China and India must let private sector take a more active role In the run-up to it's Singapore Annual Meeting, the International Monetary Fund has highlighted how financial system development has helped drive Asia's recent impressive growth. It is certainly true that a great deal of progress has been made, but the giants in the group, China and India, still face significant risks from their financial systems. They must implement a tough, and politically difficult, reform agenda if they are to unleash their economies' full potential. In a study of Asian economic development, to be published in the IMF's World Economic Outlook, the fund notes that financial sector development has a "strong and significant impact on productivity growth" and that Asia's financial systems, "still heavily centered on banks, will need to be broadened and deepened, for instance, through efforts to develop the corporate bond market". New research by McKinsey Global Institute demonstrates the depth of the problem. In India, for instance, the value of the corporate bond market amounts to just 2 percent of its GDP. It is no wonder then that Indian companies rely on retained earnings for nearly 80 percent of the funds they raise and have very low levels of debt by international standards. Although Indian companies have the advantage over their Chinese counterparts of more developed equity markets, the prohibitively high cost of capital continues to compromise their performance. Diversifying and broadening sources of funding to corporate players in India and China is a critical component of necessary financial—sector reform, but there are even more fundamental structural issues to handle. On of the striking similarities between these two countries is their poor allocation of capital, due in parts to their governments distorting the financial system to achieve social ends–in India to fund the government's persistently large budge deficit and its rural investment priorities; in the case of China, to ensure a continued flow of funding to its many inefficient but massive state–owned enterprises to preserve jobs. These policies have similar unfortunate consequences–wasteful investments that yield negligible returns; restrictive funding for the private companies that are driving growth; pervasive state ownership of financial institutions which stifles competition and lowers their efficiency; and a feeble array of financial products for consumers, and, as we have noted, minimal growth in corporate bond markets. In China, despite the fact that the country has a very large and deep pool of financial capital—an estimated US$4.5 trillion of assets (S$7 trillion)—the majority of lending goes to less efficient state–owned enterprises. Our research finds that although China's private companies now produce more than half of its GDP, they only receive 27 percent of loans, and they are excluded from the country's nascent equity and corporate bond markets. This misdirection of capital—together with artificially cheap credit due to the country's regulated ceiling on deposit rates—has contributed to a boom not just in investment but in its inefficiency. In the first half of the 1990s, China needed to invest US$3.30 for every additional US$1 of GDP, since 2001, it has had to invest US$4.90 to get the same return. Chinese households, not surprisingly, earn very poor returns on their savings and China has a severe problem with non–performing loans. Major Govt role in financial system. India's dynamic private sector, which includes some world–class companies with average productivity 10 times higher than that of household enterprises and double the level of state–owned ones, gets only some 43 percent of total commercial credit. The government dominates the financial system, requiring banks and other financial intermediaries to hold a large portion of their assets in government securities, largely to fund the country's persistently large deficit. Banks also have to devote 36 percent of their loan portfolios to the government's priority sectors. If India is to successfully complete the transition from agriculture to industry and services that has accompanied rising living standards in all developed countries, freeing the financial system is critical. We estimate that financial–system reform and further economic liberalization could add US$48 billion a year to India's GDP, boosting its annual growth rate from 6.5 percent forecast now to 9.4 percent over the next 10 years—and therefore matching China's rate of expansion. In China, concerted financial system reform—including the deregulation of interest rates; increasing competition in the banking system as well its lending and risk management skills; developing a corporate bond market; accelerating the institution of an electronics payment system; and allocating capital on a commercial basis—could increase its GDP by US$ 321 billion, a full 17 percent, in a year. Regulators in China, at least, have been moving to reform the financial system. Over the past 18 months, several of the largest commercial banks have listed shares in Hong Kong and others have entered into deals with foreign banks; the commercial paper market has greatly increased in volume, albeit from very low levels; and even the country's lackluster equity market is finally rising, in part due to the government's decision to sell off its portion of formerly non–tradable equity shares. Nevertheless, there is still much more to do. Transforming China's massive banking system, developing its nascent capital markets and creating the institutional framework, incentives and commercial mindset needed to support a modern financial system will necessarily take time. India's government is considering several major financial–system reforms—most recently proposals to develop the corporate bond market, reform the pension system as well as further liberalize the capital account—but has enacted few, to date. The country's sound equity markets and high performing private banks give it a good base on which to build. With the right policies, India's financial system could evolve in a timely manner. For both countries, financial reform is much more likely to achieve the social objectives that are currently used to justify the distortion of the financial system by the government. Such reforms should be among their highest priorities. The writer is director of the McKinsey Global Institute, McKinsey's economics think tank. This article originally ran in Straits Times..

It's that time again folks. The height of summer is in full effect, and the heat can often get the better of us as we bask in the glory of solar radiation. Tasty, cooling drinks always go a long way, and one of the best at quenching the voracious thirst of summer days is Lemonade!
It's consumed around the world, but have you ever wondered why someone thought to take something so tart and make a drink out of it? Once you examine lemons more closely, it's no wonder why Lemonade has become the eternal drink of summer.
Lemons are grown in tropical climates and are members of the citrus family. They are a rich source of vitamin C, and are little nutritional powerhouses packed with antioxidants known as citrus bioflavonoids. The most commonly known bioflavonoid is quercetin, but there are also two others: rutin and hesperidin. Bioflavonoids are mostly found in the bitter white skin of citrus fruits, and are responsible for anti-carcinogenic activity.
A study conducted earlier this year demonstrated that hesperidin showed chemo protective activity in the liver. Further, lemons are packed with minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium, i.e. electrolytes. Their high limonene content also accounts for their anti-pathogenic properties, and is what gives citrus its beautiful fragrance. Limonene is one of the main constituents of citrus essential oils; it's commonly used as a non-toxic preservative, and is one of the few things that can dissolve Styrofoam!
It has been recognized that lemons can "quench" thirst so effectively, that explorers of antiquity supposedly travelled with them as they excavated new lands. This was to ensure they were sufficiently hydrated when water was sparse, and to evade scurvy. If this is accurate, it makes sense, because electrolytes lost through sweat could quickly be replenished by sucking on a lemon. It's been cited that fruits high in natural tannins are known as thirst quenchers, because they are astringent. This particular taste sensation causes us to "pucker" our mouths which stimulates the mucus membranes; in turn quenching thirst. Pretty neat, right?
Lastly, lemons have been used to stimulate digestion, and support gentle detoxification in many cultures. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's common to drink warm lemon water upon rising because it stimulates "liver chi"; thus, activating gastric juices and bile flow. Now let's get cracking and make some Lemonade!
Here is a simple way to start every morning.
Rise and Shine Lemonade:
Juice from half a lemon
1 cup of warm water
If your tummy can handle it, you can kick
your metabolism into gear with spice! This is useful if you work out first thing.
Kick Start Lemonade:
Juice from half a lemon
1/2-1tsp of maple syrup
1/4 tsp of sea, grey or pink salt
Pinch of cayenne pepper (or up to 1/8 tsp if tolerated)
1 cup of warm water
**Avoid increasing the salt as it may over stimulate the adrenals.
Berries are an excellent addition to Lemonade, add extra fibre, natural sweetness, and more antioxidants. I love Blueberry Lemonade.
Very Berry Lemonade:
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1 cup water
1/4 cup of a berry of your choice (blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, etc.)
1tbsp sweetener (maple syrup, raw cane sugar, honey or blue agave nectar)
*1/4-1/2 tsp of stevia can be used depending on the brand.
Blend, add ice and enjoy.
Want something sweeter, with no sweetener? Try Watermelon Lemonade. It's my absolute favorite!
Watermelon Lemonade:
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1 cup of watermelon chunks
1 cup of water
Blend, et voila.
For super nutrition, keep the seeds and blend on a high speed.
Want to take refreshment to the next level? Try fresh basil. Not only will your taste buds be dazzled, your Lemonade will become anti-inflammatory due to basil's high volatile oil content.
Sup-herb Lemonade:
1/4 cup of lemon juice
1 cup of water
1tbsp fresh minced basil
1tbsp of sweetener (maple syrup, raw cane sugar, honey
or blue agave nectar)
Blend and serve.
If you really want the full benefits from lemons, every part of the lemon should be used. This is easier said than done though. If you're brave, you can cut some of the peel, with the white skin and blend it into to your Lemonade. Keeping the pulp with some seeds is even better and can be blended on high.
Here are some things to keep in mind:
Try to buy lemons with thin skin, because they have more juice and are more economical. Always roll them out on a hard, flat surface before squeezing. This is especially useful when the lemons have thick skin. If dealing with fresh lemons is too much, then an organic concentrate can be used. I buy the Santa Cruz's variety. This will have a slight decrease in overall nutritional content, but is still a very effective option. Avoid all conventional concentrates, seeing they have chemical preservatives, etc.
It's always best to buy organic when possible. Because lemons are lower on the spray list, conventional is an option. However, they are coated in wax and may have traces of allergens; so clean them well before use. You can soak them in hot water with apple cider vinegar for approximately 5 minutes to remove excess residue. Towel dry them as if you're polishing something, to ensure the residue is fully removed.
If you're concerned about tooth enamel, you can rinse your mouth out with baking soda post lemonade, or use a straw. Stainless steel and glass straws are available for purchase online, or at a participating retailer.
The above recipes are practical guidelines for various Lemonade concoctions. Needed adjustments to almost all ingredients can be made if necessary.

PE & Activities Teaching Assistant with boarding duties, Oxford
Closing date:
Start date: September 2018
Contract type: Full Time
Contract term: Fixed Term
Suitable for NQTs: Yes
Role overview
We are seeking to appoint two new PE & Activities Teaching Assistants to join our PE & Activities staff team. The positions are designed to be fully residential: in addition to their role in the PE & Activities department, the successful candidates will have a role as Boarding Assistants in one of the school's boarding houses. Accommodation within the boarding house is provided during the school's term time in each case.
The role has two complementary dimensions. As a Teaching Assistant, you will be required to assist the PE teachers with the running of a wide-ranging programme of PE and other activities throughout the school; in the boarding house you will be required to support the Houseparents and to help with some aspects of the running of the House in which you will be living.
One of the positions that we are aiming to fill will be in Islip House, our brand new sixth form boarding house which opened in September 2017. The other will be in Nash House which is used to accommodate younger international students in Years 10 and 11.
The role could present an excellent career development opportunity for PE enthusiasts who are considering a career in teaching and/or coaching.
The successful candidates may have the opportunity to further their coaching qualifications through relevant courses. They will also be required to undertake a first aid qualification as well as the necessary training to gain a PCV qualification to enable them to drive a 17-seater minibus to transport students to and from sports and activities venues.
Person Specification and necessary Qualifications
Applicants must have:
- Either a degree in PE or a related subject, or other appropriate vocational qualifications and experience;
- Playing and, ideally, coaching experience in at least one, and preferably more than one, sport;
- A clean driving licence, since all the members of the PE department are regularly expected to drive the School's minibuses for travel to and from sports venues.
In addition to the above, we are looking for candidates who:
- Are committed and passionate about PE and about teaching / coaching;
- Have a caring and cheerful personality and a demonstrable ability to relate to students, parents and colleagues with empathy and sensitivity;
- Have a mature, responsible, patient and resilient attitude to life and work;
- Have an ability to be firm while doing so in a friendly, engaging and respectful manner;
- Are reliable, responsible and well organised with strong communication skills;
- Have good, reliable and balanced judgement and the ability to think clearly and rationally in an emergency;
- Are good team players who will work well with colleagues and with students both in PE and Activities and in the boarding context;
- Have good practical and administrative skills.
For the proper performance of their duties, it will be essential for the successful candidates to be resident in the House at all times during term time (excluding scheduled time off of course).
In line with the proper performance of their duties, the successful candidates will be able to take meals in the House or in the school dining hall without charge during school term times.
Salary and pension
The starting salary in the post will be in the region of £15,000 pa. In addition, and as has already been mentioned, accommodation within one of the school's boarding houses and meals are provided (during term time). The school has its own pension scheme which will be open to the successful candidates from the time that they join the school.
Please note that the role as set out above involves working through the school's term times plus a day or two before and after each term to help with opening up and closing down the House.
However, there is the potential to earn additional income by working in a similar role (Activities and boarding) for a few weeks in the summer holidays on the annual summer English courses which are run by a partner organisation, Bucksmore Education, using our school buildings and boarding houses. This would be subject to a selection interview with Bucksmore Education staff nearer the time. The salary and terms of conditions of such summer employment will be separate from the terms of this contract and will be as agreed with Bucksmore Education as the employer.
Further information
If you would like any further information at this stage, please feel free to telephone Jonathan Cuff, Deputy Principal, Pastoral, on the main school number 01854 688600
Applicants should complete the Application form for a teaching post, and submit this, with a full CV and covering letter, to email@example.com and a signed copy sent to:
Helena Barron
333 Banbury Road
The closing date for applications is 12 February 2018

A movie log formerly known as Bookishness / By Charles Matthews
"Dazzled by so many and such marvelous inventions, the people of Macondo ... became indignant over the living images that the prosperous merchant Bruno Crespi projected in the theater with the lion-head ticket windows, for a character who had died and was buried in one film and for whose misfortune tears had been shed would reappear alive and transformed into an Arab in the next one. The audience, who had paid two cents apiece to share the difficulties of the actors, would not tolerate that outlandish fraud and they broke up the seats. The mayor, at the urging of Bruno Crespi, explained in a proclamation that the cinema was a machine of illusions that did not merit the emotional outbursts of the audience. With that discouraging explanation many ... decided not to return to the movies, considering that they already had too many troubles of their own to weep over the acted-out misfortunes of imaginary beings."--Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude

The Deer Hunter (Michael Cimino, 1978)
Heaven's Gate (1980), so disastrously did. Certainly there are signs in The Deer Hunter of Cimino's fatal self-indulgence, particularly the overextended exuberance of the wedding reception scene, which anticipates the out-of-control Harvard commencement sequence in Heaven's Gate. Neither scene adds measurably to the narrative or the themes of its respective film, but Cimino bitterly fought all efforts to trim the wedding sequence in the editing process, and later claimed, after editor Peter Zinner won an Oscar, that he had edited the film himself. Because of its sloppiness and self-indulgence, I hesitate to call The Deer Hunter a great film, but it's certainly one in touch with the darkest strain of recent American history.

"There is rarely a time when [management does] not have an open door if you need to discuss a matter, related to work or not."
- Kevin Gentry, Head of Global Finance Systems, Washington, D.C.
Getting to know Hogan Lovells
On completion of my interviews with the firm, I knew Hogan Lovells would be a great fit, and the people I interviewed with really made me feel at ease. Upon joining, I experienced that same warmth and an environment that shows respect to all employees regardless of their position or background.
Management here takes the time to get to know you on a personal level. There is rarely a time when they do not have an open door if you need to discuss a matter, related to work or not. Your opinion is always heard and taken into consideration.
Many of our corporate responsibility programs create a great place for team building that not only makes you proud to work at Hogan Lovells but also proud of what the firm does for the community. I have been involved in two such projects. Rebuilding Together gave the firm an opportunity to assist a senior citizen in need by helping make necessary repairs at her home. I also participated in a charity Wii bowling tournament that really created a great sense of competition at both bowling and fundraising. Everyone wanted to be the best and raise the most money for very worthwhile charities!
The people you work with on a daily basis make this not only feel like a great place to work, they come to be your second family and you enjoy seeing them on a daily basis.
Resident in our Washington, D.C. office, Kevin is responsible for the operational aspects of the various systems used by the firm's finance departments.
A supporter of the firm's corporate responsibility initiatives, Kevin likes that they create a great place for team building that makes you proud to work at Hogan Lovells and of what the firm does for the community.

With the two of the big must have gifts this year being the new iPad and updated iPod/iPhone, one thing that's sure to follow is a massive demand by these new owners for recommendations on what Apps to purchase.
There are so many Apps on the iTunes store that merely looking at the Top 25 or even the Featured sections really doesn't cut it for new owners, looking to get in on the 'App' revolution bandwagon.
To fill this void recommendation sites are becoming more and more popular, just doing a search for 'Top 10 apps for …' will return a ridiculous number of results. Thus anyone savvy enough to create and SEO well enough sites that promise 'Top 10 apps for office productivity' or 'Top 10 apps for travelling' can easily gain a lot of traffic.
Converting all this traffic into real money is the next step, made easier by iTunes programme on the Linkshare platform. With it you can:
1.) Create tracked links to individual products (Apps, songs, books etc)
2.) Create a feed of updated links with preset rules – i.e. Top 25 paid apps in the Photography genre
3.) Use the iTunes search API, and then push the returned link back through the Linkshare or Tradedoubler to create a monetising tracking link.
Pros & ConsWatch Full Movie Online Streaming Online and Download
The search functionality is the only awkward bit, having to utilise the functionality of two API's. Whilst you can use the Linkshare Merchandiser Query API to search for products and be returned tracking links immediately, you run the risk of the data being out of date. The iTunes search API is far superior, offering a plethora of search options . The only downside is then having to push the product links returned back through Linkshare to create a tracking link, adding more overhead.
The rates are quite low at between 4 and 5%, so it's all about numbers. Your site should be uncluttered, with a clear call to action to follow the iTunes link and buy the product.
What is certain is that with the arrival of the new iPad, and demand expected to rise further, sites linked to searches like 'Top 10 iPad apps for [insert niche here]' will only gain more popularity, so if you already write about products available on iTunes store or are planning getting into it, now would be the perfect time.

Concentration is among the most difficult effort for the contemporary students, as most of us are tempted with smart phones and social networking sites.
In order to strengthen the concentration, one must avail the conventional method of meditation and yoga. I have enlisted effective remedies to increase concentration while studying, they are following:

Kimberlee Frank and her entire team at Sell Fast Realty were absolutely amazing with me through the entire process of selling my mother's house. We live in New York and the house we were wanting to sell is in Florida so that in itself is a hassle. Kimberlee made it so easy and made every accommodation for me and my mother to get our house sold. I thought my mother was going to have to take a trip down to Florida in order to be there for the closing, but Kimberlee got me all the paperwork and took us through the process step-by-step.
She is a very hands-on agent as opposed to behind the desk and that was a huge factor for me. My last agent's correspondence with me was strictly through emails and I never heard what his voice sounded like because he was never available to take any of my calls. Kimberlee called, texted and emailed me to always keep me updated throughout the entire process. In addition to that, she made sure to always be on site if there was a project in the house. We redid all the floors of the property and Kimberlee was right there inspecting the company's job making sure everything was up to her standards of excellence.
I really can't say enough about how wonderful Kimberlee and her entire staff at Sell Fast Realty are and I would recommend them to anyone in Florida who is looking to sell or rent a home. The really are the best at what they do!
Miran Nasharty
I recently found myself in a situation where I need to sell my home, but I could not sell it for what I owed and it was no longer worth what I paid for it. I consulted an lwyer to find out what rights I had as an upside-down home owner and what tax penalty's I would be responsible for. I was referred to Sell fast Realty and Kimberlee Frank by a friend in the Real Estate field. That's when my anxiety and fear left me. When you talk to Kimberlee you can tell that through her own experience with a foreclosure and years of experience she knows her stuff!
Kimberlee and her staff were so knowledgable and professional. they took charge of the whole process. Talking to my bank and letting me know what I needed to say to them and what documents I would need to provide. The whole process from start to finish took only 9 months, which in terms of a short sale is remarkable.
If you are in need of an expert or just whant to "get the facts" I highly recommend Kimberlee Frank and her Team. Kristin was my contact through the whole process and she truly made it a suprisingly easy process.
Nancy Taylor
Dear Kimberlee,
I want to thank you for all of your hard work for selling my house. You
stood by my side every step of the way and made this process easy for me and
my family. I know there were a lot of challenges and you told me not to
worry everything will be fine. I highly recommend Sell Fast Realty they
work very hard for there clients.
Jaclyn M.
I want to thank you for selling my commercial builder quicker than the previous realtor that I had. I had the property listed for over 1 year and no offers. Once I listed with you, it the building was sold fast. You truly live up to your name "Sell Fast Realty".
Thank you so much and I would refer all of my clients to you.

To Whom It May Concern:
I would like to personally thank Kimberlee Frank and her staff for helping my husband and me sell my deceased son's condo. There was a lot of problems associated with the sale but Kimberlee and her staff did everything in their power to "get the job done." They went above and beyond what a normal real estate company would do.

To Whom It May Concern:
My wife and I would like to personally thank you for selling our rental property through a Short Sale. Sell Fast realty took the stress from us. Your company obtained the documents needed from us, then took care of all communication with the bank. We were so happy when we received the email titled: Short Sale Approved/ Deficiency Waived!! The closing process was easy and most of all we didn't have to bring any money to the table. Thank you so much Sell Fast realty!!

My husband and I could not be happier with our experience working with Sell Fast Realty and our realtor, Linda Trimpey. During the entire short sale process, Linda showed herself to be hard working and determined. In spite of the ups and downs of a short sale process, Linda was positive and very helpful. There were no details that went undone or unnoticed. I don't know what we would have done without her. We are so thankful to have worked with her and had her superb help and experience along the way.

I just want to thank you for the months of effort that you put into our short sale. Short sales are anything but short and are so frustrating we were glad to have you on our side and making sure the process went as smooth as possible. Thankfully with your expertise you were able to ensure our short sale got approved and the bank waived any contributions on our part. Your team was great at staying on top of us and making sure we got the documents back to you quickly to keep the process moving. I would recommend you to anyone doing a short sale in Florida.
Katie and James Force
"My wife and I wish to thank you, Judy and all of Sell Fast Realty for all your hard work in getting our home sold. We would never believe it if you told us it would take three years and multiple interested parties until it was sold. Thank you for taking us through the process, as we had no idea what steps to take and you were all there to guide us through it. We really appreciate all the long and stressful hours you put in to make this happen for us! Again many, many thanks to you and your team!"
Rod and Ann Hanson, Orlando, FL
Dear Kimberly,
"I wanted to thank you for all the hard work and diligence you and your team put forth in the closing of my home. I can't say enough about Judy and the staff's knowledge and insight was invaluable while Judy's follow through and updates proved encouraging when I was down in the dumps about the status of my house. I would also like to acknowledge the professionalism of your staff at Sell Fast Realty that was working behind the scenes to help make my closing a reality. Your team moved quickly on many request and at times moved faster than me. Kimberly, I also wanted to thank you for discussing and handling personal situations between me and my ex. That proved to be one less burden I needed to deal with during this time. It is individuals like yourself and staff that makes a difference to people like me in tough situations."
Sincerely, Pat Sullivan, St. Cloud, FL
Dear Kimberlee:
"I wanted to thank you for being able to assist in the short sale of my house. Although it is not an easy or quick process, you were able to make the experience as pain free as possible by updating me on major milestones, providing me with multiple options and their hypothetical outcomes along with being upfront about the possible scenarios. I believe it is important to run a business with full disclosure and transparency when discussing the process and outcomes with a consumer.
I would recommend both you and Chris and Sell Fast Realty for the services that you were able to provide me during this crucial life experience. Although it is not pleasant to have to go through a short sale due to unforeseen circumstances, you both were able to provide peace of mind that the best possible options were being explored and examined. Thank you again for both of your dedication and hard work."
Sincerely, Leonard Pollard, Claremont, FL
Dear Kim:
"Thank you so much for your expert help with my short sale. You took what was a horrible, scary situation and turned it completely around. Your professionalism and tenacity has lifted a huge financial burden off my shoulder. I can now move forward to build a new life. The peace of mind you provided me is invaluable. You and your staff have my deepest gratitude."
Miss Michele Kelly, Longwood, FL
Our church had been under the bondage of debt and we had been trying to sell our building for more than two and a half years. Unknowingly our church was placed in slavery. The Scriptures states; "The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender." Pr 22:7 (NRSV) By this time our church had been in forbearance, and was still unable to keep up with the steep monthly payments to the bank.
In 2008 the bottom fell out of the commercial real estate market. The bank threatened to foreclose on us several times, but we kept the lines of communication open and the bank was gracious in giving us some time to sell the property while we made some modest payments for a while. The bank tried to sell the property in a portfolio sale with some of their other distressed properties. But by the Grace of God that sale was disrupted. I had attended Kimberlee's Short Sale training and had worked on a couple of residential short sale deal.
After trying to sell the church for such a long time, it became clear that with the down turn in the commercial market we were not going to get buyers at the appraised value of the property. After getting current comps of commercial properties in the area we determined that we were upside down like the rest of the market. While trying to deal with this dilemma and the responsibilities of pastoring a church, it became clear that I was not equipped to negotiate this deal. I did all the upfront work that I had learned from Kimberlee, but I kept asking her for advice on what to do with the bank and she gave me some pointers as I went along.
Then one day Kimberlee called and said that the Lord had directed her to negotiate the short sale for the church. We were excited and relieved, because God had answered our prayer for a way to get out from under the burden of this debt. Kimberlee and her staff got to work and things began to come together. She got the bank to agree to accept a reduced price of about one million dollars off the loan amount and to even allow our church to keep some of the proceeds of the sale price. Hallelujah!
The listing agent found a buyer and she helped negotiate a deal that got us a church building free and clear and over $250,000 cash. We are now debt free and with a complete worship facility. We truly are "Free To Serve" the true and living God! We thank you, again Kimberlee Frank and your wonderful staff for your help. We Praise God for His Amazing Grace and His Awesome Power! This was indeed a God-sized move! Free To Serve,
Pastor Erven Kimble– Senior Pastor
Dear Kristen, Kimberly and Staff,
I would like to start by saying THANK YOU so very much this wouldn't been possible without your dedication and care..
When I thought my life couldn't get any worse.. My husband losing his job first then me losing my job not to mention four children, now as parents we felt we failed them.. Couldn't make payments on our house of 6 years. Forced to foreclose, banks would help us after numerous attempts even speaking to a lawyer who took our little money and not help us… We gave up!! One night my husband had to go get some water from the grocery store, he never goes to Windixie that evening he did.. He parked next to this truck that said on the windows Fast Short Sales etc.. He waited to meet this person and there she was to me an Angel by the name of Kimberly they spoke then the next day you came to see us.. Telling how you will help us and educated us of what a Short Sale is even with some complication in our house like Termintes.. and also, the bank that you had to deal with on our behave.. You and your staff took care of everything, I couldn't believe how amazing you all were.. After a few months of great communication and hard work from you guys the day came on April 27, 2011 we completed our closing on our Short Sale.. I can't thank you enough!!!
There is always reasons for everything and we can't question God why but know that one, one door closes another one opens!!
We are in our new home rented of course but my still out of a job but I was blessed to find another job and we started over and very happy.. Thank you so much for helping us!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
Sincerely, Victor and Laila Nemeh, Winter Springs, FL
To Whom it May Concern:
Evelyn Good and Kimberlee Frank are really "good" and "frank." They were the agents who helped us to short-sell our property on the Wekiva River, which we had bought at exactly the wrong time, expecting naively to sell our home in Celebration and move, but without any contingency. This was a high end, one of a kind, "quirky" property, without any real comps, that we were buying for almost $1 million, at the very top of a highly over-inflated market.
They marketed this unique property aggressively and went through several cool and warm leads before the right buyer showed up. We then helped them to hold firm in their negotiation with the buyer, the predatory bank, JP Morgan/Chase, and eventually, after lots of back and forth, a deal was struck. The eventual purchase price was a real bargain for the new owners, but knowing they were fighting for us took a huge amount of stress off of our shoulders. Now it is between our accountant and the IRS to see how we actually come out of the deal. Along with our attorney, Charles Castellon, Evelyn and Kimberlee held our hands through this entire long and arduous process, taking care of the paperwork and relieving us of the need to answer to the collection agency or the Bank's attorneys.
We slept well at night knowing that we had these two fighters on our side. We were reluctant to do anything without legal counsel, and they supported our dependence on our attorney who helped reassure us of the propriety of the agreement we finally reached, and together we got through the ordeal of the sale and the closing.
Also expect no nonsense or sugar-coating from Evelyn and Kimberlee, as you know signing up, they are good, but they are frank. What you can expect is straight talk, attention by them to the stressful details you would not like to pay attention to yourselves, and tough negotiation to get your property moved as rapidly as is possible given the present trying circumstances.
If we had to go through this hell again we would ask them to go with us.
Best regards, Dave and Thelma Finnigan, Celebration, FL
A note of Thanks to the staff of Sell Fast Realty, Kimberlee, Kristen, & Bobbie. The response and understanding of the type of housing we were in need of as well as the personal attention given to meeting these needs were professional and successful. We were very pleased as well as comfortable with the knowledge of the housing market and the attention to detail of our need for comfort, safety and convenience.
Thank you Mrs. Frank for providing us with your personal time and transportation. It is with great appreciation for outstanding service provided by the Sell Fast Realty Staff we refer their services.
Respectfully, Pastor Valerie Pinnix, Altamonte Springs, FL

South Carolina is still on the hook for $782 million in federal funds it borrowed to pay unemployment benefits, but a restructured Department of Employment and Workforce is on the path toward solvency, a new state audit report says.
The new agency also is doing a better job updating the General Assembly about the ongoing financial condition of the tattered Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund that captured lawmakers' ire and led to major changes two years ago, the report released Tuesday found.
But, the Legislative Audit Council criticized the new agency, placed under the governor's authority in 2010, on several fronts, including failure to regularly review clients' eligibility to continue receiving payments.
The audit also flagged the agency for failing to properly cross check unemployment check recipients against working payrolls, which is a major means of detecting fraud and benefits overpayments, auditors said.
"What we found was that for at least six years, when they ran that crossmatch, they were only using 20 percent of the UI database, so they were effectively not running the crossmatch against 80 percent of the people in the database, so they weren't identifying and catching as much fraud and overpayment (as they could have)," said Perry K. Simpson, the Audit Council's director.
"That went on, as best we can tell, for at least six years," Simpson said. "We have a pretty high fraud and overpayment rate in this state, and this needs to be addressed. You should never pay benefits to people who are committing fraud or are undeserving of the benefit at all."
The Department of Employment and Workforce, responding to the report, said many of the audit findings already have been addressed.
"A lot of the information that's contained in the report has already been, No. 1, identified, and No. 2, rectified," said DEW spokeswoman Adrienne Fairwell. "When those items that are identified in the report were brought to the department's attention, we immediately took notice to go ahead and take care of what was in there."
The department also could do better at informing lawmakers about ways to improve the trust fund even more, the report stated, and could provide stronger leadership to lawmakers on employment issues.
The audit is the first of three management reviews mandated by the 2010 law that restructured the agency. The other audits are due in 2013 and 2018.
Another area of concern raised by audit concerned budgetary funds raised by the new law restructuring the agency. The report said lawmakers should review procedure provided in the law.
If left unchanged, the contingency assessment – a .06 percent tax on employers used to pay DEW administrative operations – would effectively double to $14,000 by Jan. 1, 2015, officials said.
"We're not sure how well-informed the General Assembly was that this would happen when they changed the law," Simpson said.


text: In recent years, the Western Environmental NGOs (WENGOs) together with producers and buyers of palm oil have attempted to promote the development and market for certified sustainable oils and fats products in addition to existing non-certified products. This has resulted in two types of market for oils and fats: the certified sustainable oil market and the market for normal oils that are not certified. The most desirable and ideal market is of course one where the oils and fats products are proven to be sustainably produced. The proof is via a certification and auditing process where the oils or fats which are found to comply with a set of sustainability principles and criteria will be issued certificates attesting to their sustainable production and processing. These products are supposed to be marketed at a premium to meet the needs of sophisticated markets especially in the EU. In the case of palm oil, such products are referred to as Certified Sustainable Palm Oil in general or Certified RSPO palm oil (CSPO) if the RSPO system is used as the basis for auditing and certification. In contrast, the main market is still mostly for non-certified normal palm oil. Such products cannot be marketed as sustainable as the WENGOs will protest that there is no proof of sustainability. Neither can it be labeled as unsustainable palm oil as there is no proof for that either.Unfortunately, Certified RSPO palm oil has received limited acceptance thus far. The available capacity in Malaysia of about 1 million tonnes of CSPO palm oil has not been fully taken up. Only 30 % of the potentially available RSPO palm oil has been exported to the EU. The main excuse is the lack of willingness of the importers to pay a premium to offset the initial cost of certification. To make matters worse, some of the WENGOs are casting doubts on the ability of RSPO members to supply sustainable palm oil.

Samuel Hickton, 34th Cumberland Reg
I am looking for information about Samuel Hickton who served with the 34th Cumberland regiment, service number 2523.I believe that it is probable that he went to the Crimea.Is there any way that I can confirm this?
His older brother, Henry Thomas Hickton was also with the 34th Cumberland Regiment and was killed in action on June 7th 1855, in the assault on the quarries before Sebastopol.
I believe that Henry Hickton's wife also went to the Crimea but have been unable to find much information to confirm this.Is there any source that identifies the women that went?

Trip to the Dog Park
You've probably read mentions of "going to the dog park" on my blog. So I thought I would let you see what a trip to the dog park is like. Unfortunately Lares and I don't have a nice fenced in backyard like some of you lucky dogs. I'd be willing to give up stuffed toys for life if I could have the Ao4's Backyard. So we live for our trips to the Dog Park. Lares and I typically tell Dad when we are ready to go. This usually includes lots of howling and woooing. Sometimes I even have to wake Dad up from his nap so that we can go. Once he realizes that it is time to go, he gets our water and bowl (dog parking can be thirsty work) and puts his shoes on. During this time, Lares and I continually tell him to hurry up. Finally he is ready and hooks up our leashes and we head out to the car. Dad keeps the back seat folded down so we have lots of room in the back. Once in the car we head out.
Here's me looking at Mom taking my pic.
And a pic of me making sure Dad knows where he is going.
Here's me smiling because I'm so happy to be going to the Dog Park.
And here's the floppy eared doofus, he may look excited now but when he gets to the park, he'll just mope around as usual.
So once we're at the park, that's when the fun begins. Usually we go and do our business first, you know get that stuff out of the way. Sometimes it is fun to do it in the leaves so Dad has a hard time finding it, hehe. After we done with that, I'm off for some fun. It really depends on if any of my buddies are at the park. If not I typically run around like crazy by myself till someone shows up. Today I was lucky and my best friend, Sabrina showed up. Boy did we have a fun time wrestling. Dad tried to get some pics but we were moving around too much. Here's a couple of the better ones.
Eventually Mom gets cold and Lares starts whining about being hungry and we have to go home. So back in the car (with much less enthusiasm) and drive back home. Once home all I have to keep myself entertained is beating up the floppy eared doofus.
Hope you enjoyed this small look into my Trip to the Dog Park.

The low-torque seat design makes Bonomi brass three-way "deadman" valves the easiest to open and close.
CHARLOTTE, NC (PRWEB) August 09, 2016
Bonomi North America's unique new low-torque three-way, four-seated brass ball valves with spring return handles provide "deadman" mixing or diversion operations in either L-port or T-port configurations. They are available now in sizes 1/4-inch to 2 inches with FNTP end connections.
Bonomi 355NSRL (T-Port) and 365NSRL (L-Port) valves change flow paths with a quarter turn of the spring-loaded handle and return to the original flow path when the handle is released. Unlike conventional two-seated three-way ball valves, the Bonomi four-seated 355NRL can offer straight through flow, diversion, and shut-off capabilities. Like all Bonomi ball valves, they are 100% tested before shipping.
Other manufacturers use downstream "crusher" seat designs, elevating the torque required to effectively operate the handle. The Bonomi seat design utilizes Viton o-rings behind each seat allowing lighter "energized" seat to ball contact, making operation smoother and easier and extending valve life.
Bonomi 355SNRL/365NSRL valves also feature forged brass bodies that are stronger and lighter than typical sand-cast bodies. Standard chrome-plated balls and blowout proof stems, PTFE seats and double O-ring stem seals assure leak-free service. Maximum working pressure is 600 WOG.
The adjustable spring-return lever handles are made from heavy-duty corrosion-resistant stainless steel components that stand up to the environment and the stress of frequent use.
Bonomi also offers two-way full port brass valves with spring return handles for extremely fast filling or dumping. The two-way 250NSRL is made with a regular forged brass body and is available in sizes ¼" to 3". The 250NLFSRL is lead-free and available in sizes ½" to 2".
About Bonomi
Bonomi North America has served the U.S. and Canada since 2003 and is part of the Bonomi Group of Brescia, Italy. Bonomi Group brands include Rubinetterie Bresciane Bonomi (RB) brass ball valves and check valves; Valpres carbon and stainless steel ball valves; and Valbia pneumatic and electric industrial actuators. Bonomi North America maintains an extensive distribution network for these products from its headquarters in Charlotte, N.C. and a facility in Oakville, Ontario, Canada.

Feature: From black gold to green power
Feature: Rates on the rise
Key country developments

RECAI Chief Editor
Ben Warren, RECAI Chief Editor
Rising interest rates and the end of quantitative easing are set to raise the cost and reduce the flow of the cheap capital that has underwritten the dramatic roll-out of renewable energy capacity over recent years.
At the same time, government subsidies for clean power are being reduced or eliminated around the world. It also finds that the plunging cost of battery technology is increasingly enabling the cost-effective pairing of storage with wind and solar, providing clean dispatchable power, while standalone batteries are proving able to compete on price with open cycle gas plants in providing flexible demand response services.
Wherever we look, we see growing evidence of the maturity of the renewable energy sector. A few years ago, cuts to subsidies, import tariffs and rising interest rates would blow down the industry. Today, they create headwinds, but no hurricanes.
From black gold to green power
Many of the world's largest oil companies are, once again, investing in renewable energy assets. This time, they appear to be here to stay. Over recent months, several of the world's largest oil companies have been busy acquiring a variety of companies and projects that have nothing to do with extracting, refining or distributing hydrocarbons – but which are set to thrive in the low-carbon transition.Read more
Insight: Betting on blockchain
Blockchain has the potential to transform how renewable and distributed energy is managed and traded. However, the technology is not without its challenges. Samuel Pachoud explains how it might be deployed and how incumbents can prepare.
Insight: Rates on the rise
For renewable energy developers seeking financing, it has been a time of plenty: with considerable demand among investors for renewable energy assets, there has been plenty of capital available — and often at attractive terms. What does this mean for the sector?
RECAI Index
China has remained at the top of the index, with the United States and Germany overtaking India and completing the top three. Ireland and Taiwan are the biggest movers seeing a surge in renewables activity. View the latest scores.
Key country developments
A summary of the latest country-specific, transaction and investment highlights.
Market Spotlight: Australia
Australia is on track to meet its 2020 renewables targets, but its renewables roll-out puts storage in the spotlight. How can a country blessed with an abundance of energy resources have some of the highest power prices in the world and still suffer from periodic blackouts?

Poland: On course to miss its EU renewables target of 15% by 2020, but hopes are high for a revival.

The Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is one of the biggest problems for Azerbaijan just as much as for Turkey, Turkish envoy Erkan Ozoral said on September 15.
He made the remarks at an event dedicated to the 99th anniversary of the liberation of Baku by the Islamic Army of the Caucasus from the Bolshevik-Dashnak occupation.
The ambassador noted that Turkey and Azerbaijan have always been brotherly and friendly countries. "Turkey has always supported and will support Azerbaijan," he added.
Ozoral said that graves of Turkish soldiers can be found in many parts of Azerbaijan.
"Preservation of these graves to this day became possible thanks to the Azerbaijani people. Even during the Soviet times, Azerbaijanis preserved these burials as the graves of their relatives and brothers," he noted.
In 1917, after the collapse of the Russian Empire, the Azerbaijani people had a real chance to gain national statehood. However, Armenian chauvinists with the support of the Bolsheviks under different pretexts unleashed a massacre and embarked on interference, threatening the independence of Azerbaijan.
Atrocities, committed by Bolsheviks and Armenians against Azerbaijanis in 1918 forced leaders of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic to turn to fraternal Turkey. Whereas Turkey was defeated in the WWI, but it did not spare help to its brothers and, therefore, Caucasus Islamic Army of Turkey under the command of Nuru Pasha was sent to Azerbaijan. Thus, on September 15 Turkish troops liberated Baku from the occupation.
Turkey also became the first state to recognize Azerbaijan, which declared its independence in 1991. Turkey contributes to efforts aimed at the resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict within Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and sovereignty through peaceful means.
Ankara has repeatedly stated that the OSCE Minsk Group needs to intensify the search for solutions to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and offered its assistance in this matter.
Ozoral also touched upon joint military exercises of Azerbaijani and Turkish Air Forces titled TurAz Qartal? – 2017. He stressed that these drills show once again that the Azerbaijani-Turkish cooperation is developing also in the military sphere and is at the highest level.
The exercises that will last until September 30 involve up to 30 aircrafts of the Air Forces of Azerbaijan and Turkey, including MiG-29, F-16, Su-25, C-130 Herkules, CASA CN-235 aircrafts, as well as Mi-35, Mi-17 and Sikorsky S-70 helicopters.

Ryan Adams' Multi-Track Compilation Album Meets Phenomenal Success Following Combined Efforts of Silva Artist Management and TuneCore
Ryan Adams' multi-track compilation album, Life After Deaf, has met with phenomenal success thanks not only to its incredible performances but also to the combined efforts of Silva Artist Management a/k/a SAM and TuneCore.
Following the 15-disc live vinyl box set-which sold out almost instantly-SAM worked with TuneCore, the leading music distribution company and publishing administrator, to distribute a 174-track version.
"TuneCore made it easy to make sure everyone who wanted the music was able to get it - even if they couldn't get one of the crazy rare physical boxes," John Silva, CEO Silva Artists Management, said. "Their dedication to fair, efficient and reputable artist distribution aligns well with SAM's mission to give music artists the best quality service possible. Artists are TuneCore's first priority," Silva added.
Scott Ackerman, TuneCore's COO, said, "Working with the Silva Artists Management team has been an energizing experience. They are professional and have such incredible talent. We are already looking toward the next project."
Silva Artists Management, also known as SAM, has been one of the foremost artist management companies in music since its inception. As long-time exclusive representation for not only Ryan Adamsbut Foo Fighters, Beastie Boys, Queens of the Stone Age, Band of Horses, Jimmy Eat World and Nirvana among others, SAM has long set the standard for preserving artistic integrity, vision and success.

We live in a culture where you can't say the Lord's Prayer in public schools because people find it offensive. We live in a culture where you can say the "F" word in the secular media
but you can't say the "J" word because people find Jesus offensive. We live in a culture where a baby sucking its thumb waiting to be born isn't a human. We live in a culture that doesn't know right from wrong, love from lust, Heaven from hell, Jesus from the devil. IT'S A CULT! I don't wanna join the CULT-ure
I'm a right-brained man in a left-brained world
Now I understand why my mind is in a whirl
They think I'm spacey but you know it don't phase me
'Cause I won't play the games are driving them crazy
It's a cult, don't wanna join the cult-ure (2x)
don't wanna join the cult-ure (2x)
don't wanna join the cult, cult-ure
I'm standing on the outside don't want to look in
Don't want to get a handle on how they win
They think that they're standing on their own two feet
But they're following the devil down easy street
Maybe you could turn around and change your mind
Before the gig is up and we're out of time
You can't close the door when the walls are caving in
And the world is flipping out swimming in sin
People living in the street, others in mansions
Kids building bombs listening to Marilynn Manson
Video games, kill the soldiers
Do it for real when they get older
Anorexic women on the TV screen
A great role model for a girl thirteen
High school dances cheap romances
HIV no second chances
Shopping malls filled on Sunday mornings,
Empty churches could it be a warning
Fast food, shallow novels, violent movies
Climb the social ladder get a hero medal

The caudal approach to the epidural space involves the use of a Tuohy needle, an intravenous catheter, or a hypodermic needle to puncture the sacrococcygeal membrane . Injecting local anaesthetic at this level can result in analgesia and/or anaesthesia of the perineum and groin areas. The caudal epidural technique is often used in infants and children undergoing surgery involving the groin, pelvis or lower extremities. In this population, caudal epidural analgesia is usually combined with general anaesthesia since most children do not tolerate surgery when regional anaesthesia is employed as the sole modality.
There are no tell, tell signs of steroid abuse like there are with recreational drugs and this can make true abuse a little difficult to spot. However, here at we want to look at all aspects of steroid use, and in doing so, give you a better understanding of the topic at hand. Some of what you find will be nothing new, but much of it promises to be information that you've never been told. There is so much to discuss when it comes to this topic, and we guarantee when it comes to steroid abuse you may very well find what you once believed will rapidly change once exposed to the truth.

I walked into my LDV audition yesterday not really feeling nervous, though bummed that I was sick. As I was getting ready to sing, I said "I'm a little sick, by the way", even though I told myself I wasn't going to say anything about it. You know how words just come out of your mouth sometimes before you have a chance to stop them? Hate that.
The best part was Brother Salmond's reply. He said, "Oh, good."
Good? What? Haha.
He then made me do about 6 of these actually really difficult vocal exercises "just to have some fun" with me. Once I was done, he said "Ok, you're great, Ashley. Thanks for letting me torture you. We'll see you next Wednesday!" The punk.
Oh, I've missed him and that choir of beautiful people. Soooooo excited to do it for a full year this time!
P.S. BYU FOOTBALL GAME TONIGHT! AH! I'm pumped. But nervous. I hope my Cougs are good this year!

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a buzzword in the federal space, and what once was realized only in sci-fi movies, is now a burgeoning reality in IT processes. In fact, just last year, the White House encouraged federal agencies to explore all of the possibilities AI could offer, and the General Services Administration (GSA) launched programs to enable federal adoption of AI.
Furthermore, a recent Deloitte study found that AI could potentially save government 1.2 billion hours and $41.1 billion annually and increase mission-delivery speed by automating processes. However, before government can take advantage of advancements like AI today, agencies must take a few key steps. One area where Brocade has implemented fundamental changes to make way for AI technology is in the network. Below I will explore how agencies can begin to evolve their network technology in order to leverage AI capabilities in the near future:
Federal government IT professionals have always been committed to serving their fellow citizens. Long before there were IT departments or computers, federal employees were exploring ways to innovate and improve citizen services.
For example, in the 1880s the Census Bureau struggled to efficiently process data from a growing U.S. population. Bureau employee Herman Hollerith found a new way to process the increasingly large quantities of data the Bureau had collected during the 1880 census. Hollerith automated the tallying of data with a tabulating machine that became known as the Hollerith Machine and reduced processing tabulation time by nearly 900 percent.
In the 20th century we saw that same spirit of federal IT ingenuity displayed in the work of individuals like Dorothy Vaughn at NASA. Vaughn, whose story has been made famous by the film Hidden Figures, was a manager at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics' (NACA) and took it upon herself to learn computer programming. Vaughn became critical to helping NASA incorporate IBM computers into its calculations. It's important to note that Vaughn took the initiative herself to learn computer programming and understood the potential that emerging technologies would have on NASA's mission.
These individuals became heroes at their agencies by taking risks and continually learning. This same spirit of discovery continues to move agencies forward today. Federal IT employees can improve how government serves the citizen and the warfighter and transform how their agencies meet their missions.
What does it take to become a federal IT hero? Start by tapping into professional curiosity, exploring emerging technologies and with experimentation.

This is the sort of thing you learn preparing a workshop for the "hard sciences"… Chemical tests are to be used in the UK to check if asylum seekers are really from where they say they are.
Basically, it seems that analysing the isotopes of, say, a Bordeaux wine can tell you if it really came from the region its label says or if it's a fraud. Analysing isotopes can determine where confiscated drugs originate. And now the UK has launched a pilot project to determine where asylum seekers come from – by analysing their isotopes (e.g. through hair, fingernails) and DNA. The problem is, say the scientists, that immigrants travel and move. This sort of analysis can only trace the last few months.
CAMBRIDGE, UNITED KINGDOM—Scientists are greeting with surprise and dismay a project to use DNA and isotope analysis of tissue from asylum seekers to evaluate their nationality and help decide who can enter the United Kingdom. "Horrifying," "naïve," and "flawed" are among the adjectives geneticists and isotope specialists have used to describe the "Human Provenance pilot project," launched quietly in mid-September by the U.K. Border Agency. Their consensus: The project is not scientifically valid–or even sensible. (Sciencemag)
German article. Update: After the outcry, the border agency has pulled back its plans.

In addressing a group of Lithuanian bishops Monday, Pope Francis made reference to their country's recent full entry into the European Union. Instead of congratulating them, however, the Pope warned them of ideological threats to the family they would now be facing.
As of January 1, 2015 Lithuania is the latest entry into full membership in the European Union, which includes the adoption of the euro in lieu of a national currency.
"Your country," the Pope said, "which has now entered fully into the European Union, is exposed to the influence of ideologies that would like to introduce elements of destabilization of families, which is fruit of a mistaken sense of personal freedom."
Francis encouraged the bishops to stay close to families so that they would "not be conformed to the mentality of this world."
The European Parliament, in fact, has often been accused of introducing anti-family legislation that in some cases runs counter to the laws of the individual European nations. This includes several attempts to force EU countries to recognize same-sex marriage, as well as pushing so-called "reproductive rights," including abortion.
In 2008, for instance, the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs introduced a motion that would have done away with "exceptions" relating to marital and family status "in the area of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) people rights."
In November 2003, members of the European Parliament's Women's Rights and Gender Equality Committee (FEMM) sought to resurrect an anti-life and anti-family motion on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights known as the Estrela report. The motion sought to do away with conscientious objection in the case of abortion and to impose compulsory "relationship education" for school-aged children.
A similar motion was introduced in January, 2014, under the title of "Roadmap against homophobia and discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation and gender identity." This motion called education of children in gender equality and an EU-wide recognition of homosexual unions.
On Monday, the Pope reminded the bishops that the whole Church is in a process of reflection on the family—"its beauty, its value and the challenges it is called to face in our time," he said.
"Your centuries-old Lithuanian family traditions will help you to respond to these challenges according to faith and reason," he said.

Finally, the waivers are ready for parents to download, print, sign, scan and upload to ePACT. Please see "Where are the Waivers?" for instructions on how to scan the waivers (for those who don't have access to a scanner).
For every waiver activity that a parent marked "yes" to when originally filling in ePACT, they will need to complete the associated waiver. If they do not complete the waiver for those activities, then their daughter/ward will be removed from any waiver activities that she may have been assigned to.
All contact guardians of participants have been sent an email from ePACT with instructions to complete the waivers.
The following information was sent with the email from ePACT:
The third party waivers are now available in ePACT! Please sign and upload these waivers as soon as possible. Because your daughter's/ward's assigned program can change (sometimes right up until the day of the activity), you will need to authorize all of the activities you would like her to be considered for. She will not be able to participate in activities without a signed waiver.
You will need a printer, and scanner or mobile phone to complete the process. Please follow these steps (it should take about 15 minutes):
- Download the waivers individually, or all at once. (see link in email)
- Print and sign all of the waivers for the activities your daughter/ward is allowed to do
- Scan or take a photo of each individual waiver – keep them separate for the next step! (i.e. don't scan all waivers into one file).
- Log into your ePACT account.
- Verify that the information is still up to date through steps 1-8 and click the continue button at the bottom of each step.
- On Step 9 – Shared Files, use the Browse Files button to upload each type of waiver to its corresponding section.
- Click continue on the next two steps.
- Click the orange share button at the bottom of Step 11.
If your daughter/ward does not have permission to participate in specific activities that require a waiver, please do not upload any file to the corresponding section in Step 9

Malvertising has been in the tech headlines for the past few months, as several major websites — including Match.com, Yahoo and MSN — were infected by malicious, third-party ads.
In many cases, website visitors don't even have to click on the ad for their computer to become compromised.
"A lot of people think if they avoid the dark corner of the Internet, they'll be safe," says Lance Cottrell, chief scientist for Passages (a secure, virtualized browser) at Ntrepid. "Your usual Internet hygiene training doesn't even apply to these kinds of attacks — as soon as you see the banner ad, you're toast."

The STAR COOPERATION can report an addition to its Group at the start of the new year. As of 1 January 2016, the Karlsruhe-based full service agency Sense&Image GmbH is part of the company based in Böblingen and will reinforce the Media & Logistics division with strong know-how in creation, app development and 3D.
The full service advertising agency Sense&Images' customers predominantly are global players in the pharmaceutical and medical industries and its portfolio contains conception, print media, web solutions, apps as well as film & animation. Thereby, the 15 employees offer a genuine all-round carefree feel-good package in marketing and communications. "We have been following each others' path for a long time. Now we can continue writing these two success stories together," comments Ramona Kaden, Head of the Media & Logistics division, the acquisition.
New customer groups, enhances portfolio
"We are very happy to have such a successful team like Sense&Image on board. For us, that means more brains, more creative ideas and more impact," says Benjamin Hillscher, General Manager at STAR PUBLISHING, who will assume operational management in future. With this acquisition, STAR not only complements its existing service portfolio, but also opens up valuable new customer groups in the pharmaceutical and medical industries.
Also for Sense&Image's previous Managing Director Eckart Blau, the integration into the STAR Group promises many benefits: "With a strong partner like STAR having our back, we can fully leverage our growth potential and offer our creative team the development opportunities of a highly professional Group. Most important for me was to hand over my agency and team into a safe environment." Eckart Blau will stay with the company also after the acquisition by the STAR COOPERATION and will increasingly focus on Customer Care, Sales and Business Development in the future. The change in ownership will not be perceptible externally. The name and external appearance of Sense&Image will remain unaltered for the time being. Furthermore, the contractual agreements with employees, customers and partners will be continued seamlessly.
