Jared Tops the Top of the Tower
I feel like I have know the Brunner's for years....wait, I actually have! It all started with their daughter Jordan's fabulous Bat Mitzvah celebration held at Tedenza in Northern Liberties and now culminates in her brother's big bash at the incomparable venue ...The Top of The Tower. We spent some time taking in the breathtaking views on the terrace overlooking Philadelphia's great skyline....made many memorable images there and on the street level. The action then moved ahead to Jared's Bar Mitzvah service held in the two level great room and finally culminated in a fantastic celebration run by Hi Energy Entertainment....the action never stopped and I believe Jared had the time of his life. Enjoy the photos.

NOAA appoints members to Marine Protected Areas Federal Advisory Committee
December 8, 2014
The Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, which includes habitat for puffins in its territory, is part of the National Marine Protected Area Inventory List. (Credit: NOAA).
NOAA, in consultation with the Department of the Interior, has appointed ten new members to the Marine Protected Areas Federal Advisory Committee. The 20-member committee is composed of individuals with diverse backgrounds and experience who advise the departments of commerce and the interior on ways to strengthen and connect the nation's MPA programs. The new members join the ten continuing members appointed in 2012.
The committee provides advice and support to the National Marine Protected Areas Center which works with federal agencies, states, tribes, and stakeholders to develop a comprehensive and effective national MPA system to conserve the nation's natural and cultural heritage.
"The Marine Protected Areas Federal Advisory Committee provides critical and practical advice on ways to collaborate across MPA programs and engages with partners to tap the great potential of these special places in protecting our environment and sustaining local communities," said Lauren Wenzel, acting director ofNOAA's National Marine Protected Areas Center. "I am pleased to welcome such a diverse and highly qualified group."
Required as part of Presidential Executive Order 13158, which called for the creation of a national system of marine protected areas, the committee includes natural and social scientists, commercial and recreational fishermen, members of the energy and tourism industries, state and tribal resource managers, and members of conservation organizations. In addition, representatives of nine federal agencies serve in a non-voting capacity.
The new members and the constituencies they represent are:
- Brian Baird, former assistant secretary for ocean and coastal policy, California Resources Agency, Novato, California (state agencies)
- Rick Bellavance, charter boat captain, Rhode Island (recreational fishing)
- Mark Carr, Ph.D., professor of ecology at University of California, Santa Cruz, California (natural science)
- Martha Honey, Ph.D., director of the Center for Responsible Travel, Washington, D.C. (tourism)
- Stephanie Madsen, executive director of the At-Sea Processors Association (APA), Juneau, Alaska (commercial fishing)
- Samantha Murray, Pacific program director for the Ocean Conservancy, Portland, Oregon (conservation)
- Ryan Orgera, Ph.D., legislative representative, Coastal States Organization, Washington, D.C. (social science)
- Pete Stauffer, senior ocean program manager, Surfrider Foundation, Portland, Oregon (non-consumptive users)
- Trisha Watson, J.D., Ph.D., principal, Honua Consulting, Honolulu, Hawaii (cultural heritage resources)
- Margaret Williams, managing director of the Arctic Field Program, World Wildlife Fund, Anchorage, Alaska (conservation)
The committee invites experts and diverse MPA stakeholder groups to its public meetings, which also provide an opportunity for public comments. Meeting transcripts, presentations, recommendations, and other committee documents are available on the National Marine Protected Areas Center Web site,http://www.marineprotectedareas.noaa.gov.

Swedish prosecutors announced they have dropped a rape investigation involving WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Marianne Ny, the lead prosecutor, said an arrest warrant was being revoked as it was impossible to serve Assange notice, the BBC reported[1]. If Assange were to enter Sweden before the statute of limitations on the case expire in August 2020, the investigation may be resumed.
Following the announcement, UK authorities announced that Assange would still be arrested if he left the Ecuadorian embassy in London – where he has been living since 2012. Assange is guilty of not surrendering to the court, which is punishable by a year in prison or a fine.
Wanted in the US
Reports that the US has prepared charges against Assange also surfaced earlier this year. US prosecutors believe they have found a way to charge him for his involvement in the leaking of secret documents and diplomatic cables in 2010.
The documents, which included the Afghanistan war logs, the Iraq war logs, and CableGate, were leaked to WikiLeaks by Chelsea Manning.
The report stated that it is unknown whether the UK received an extradition request for Assange from the US.
Chelsea Manning[2] was recently released from prison after serving seven years for the leaks.
Now read: US preparing charges against WikiLeaks' Julian Assange[3]

Rainfall intensity is calculated as millimeters per hour over a given duration. Since the heaviest rainfalls are usually quite short in length, the average time frame used for the calculation is 5 minutes.Continue Reading
There are many different occupations that use rainfall intensity calculations, one of which is water resource engineering. The data is used to plan, design and operate water resource projects. Some examples of these kinds of projects include storm sewers, culverts and other types of urban drainage systems. While there are different methods of obtaining the figure, such as the Gumbel technique or the Log Pearson Type III distribution, the basic steps remain the same.

Rising interest rates and dollar will ultimately make US good more expensive in the global economy. This will weigh on economic growth and aggravate a trade deficit already already hemorrhaging red. The promise of job creation by forcing companies to manufacture more expensively at home or pay will fall on deaf ears as the global economy continues to weaken.
A trade war is coming because few study history. The world of globalization, a system designed to raise standard of livings for all based on competitive advantages of each nation will likely be temporarily replaced by protectionism. The majority that expects Trump to deliver will soon be disappointed by consequences of protectionism (tariffs and border taxes) on global and domestic economic growth. Those that have read The Memoirs of Herbert Hoover, the less than 1% that view traditional education as an exercise of verbal monotony and standardized testing that teaches predominantly memorization skills only, will not be surprised. Unbeknownst to the majority, the US has tried protectionist and isolationist policies will catastrophic consequences. Hoover demanded his memoirs be made available to the public so future generations would not repeat the same mistakes. He would likely be extremely worried if alive.
Headline: Trump Abandons Trans-Pacific Partnership, Obama's Signature Trade Deal
WASHINGTON — President Trump formally abandoned the Trans-Pacific Partnership on Monday, pulling away from Asia and scrapping his predecessor's most significant trade deal on his first full weekday in office, administration officials said.
Mr. Trump sharply criticized the partnership agreement during last year's campaign, calling it a bad deal for American workers. Although the deal had not been approved by Congress, the decision to withdraw the American signature at the start of Mr. Trump's administration is a signal that he plans to follow through on promises to take a more aggressive stance against foreign competitors.

Nintendo to launch Metroid Reboot on 15th september
Nearly three decades since the original Metroid launched on the NES, Nintendo is all set to release a 2D reboot of the action platformer. The reboot, aptly named Metroid: Samus Returns, is headed to the Nintendo 3DS and will be launched on 15th September.
Metroid: Samus Returns will feature the protagonist from Metroid II, Samus Aran, who travels to SR388, the home planet of the Metroids, in order to destroy the parasitic monsters. The game starts off with a limited arsenal of weapons and abilities for the protagonist, with new items being added as the player progresses.
Nintendo is expected to release the game on other platforms like Android, but the company has revealed no information regarding the matter yet.
Nintendo promises enhance SNES Classic Production
Nintendo has promised to enhance snes classic production so capacity consumers don't must depend on canny resellers and black markets. The business enterprise is producing snes classic at a "dramatically increased" charge in comparison to the nes conventional.
Reggie fils-aime, president, nintendo of the usa stated, "i'd strongly urge you now not to overbid on an snes traditional on any of the public sale sites" and that consumers need to now not have to pay a penny greater than the conventional's retail charge – $seventy nine.Ninety nine (~₹5,a hundred). He similarly hostile claims of nintendo intentionally conserving stocks to boom the charge.
The enterprise's case can be examined best after the snes traditional version launches on september 29.
Mario is No longer "Plumber"
Mario is a famous online game individual who can be seen throughout a ramification of nintendo's incredible mario games. But, the employer at the back of the man or woman has formally changed mario's biography on their eastern internet site, pointing out that he isn't always operating as a plumber anymore.
In line with the interpretation executed by kotaku reads as follows. "all round sporty, whether or not it's tennis or baseball, football or automobile racing, he [Mario] does the entirety cool. As a count of truth, he also seems to have labored as a plumber a long term in the past…".
Despite the fact that human beings had been constantly pressured concerning mario's activity, they have been more inclined toward him being a plumber instead of anything else. Properly, now that nintendo has formally denied the fact that he's now not a plumber, the question stays- if he's no longer a plumber, then what's he? As of now, it looks as if most effective time can deliver the best solution.

Mouse & Keyboard Support Coming Soon for X-Box One
keyboard & mouse support For XBox One
We were still waiting to see when Microsoft officially launch keyboard & mouse support for its most successful gaming console XBOX, but it was all just leaks and rumors but now during a meeting at PAX WEST XBOX PLATFORM Mike Ybarra says – "Keyboard and mouse support is definitely coming. We have to be very smart in how we do that. We'll leave it a lot up to developer choice. A lot of people tweet me and say "you can't do this because of fairness," and we understand that. We run two platforms; the Xbox platform, and the Windows platform.
And so, when we bring keyboard and mouse, we'll coach developers and say "look, you've got to think about your multiplayer pools, if you have a competitive game, people are probably going to want the choice to say I'll play with other keyboard and mouse people or I'll play only with controller people, or that I'll play with any of those.
So you'll see our first games supporting keyboard and mouse soon, I can't announce what that is, but soon. And based on developer interest, they'll choose to do keyboard and mouse, or not"
we are very excited when Microsoft really launch its Keyboard & mouse support and I can't be waiting anymore.

Played at the August 2017 DOCUMENTARY Short Film Festival
by Kierston Drier
Directed by Kristine Kirchmeier, Until Death Do Us Part, is a remarkable short documentary hailing from the USA chronicling the harrowing story of newlyweds Megan and Danielle and their battle with cancer. Only two days before their wedding, Megan is diagnosed with stage four cancer.
What follows in story about two incredibly brave people- made brave by the power of love. Faced with a world of uncertainty, turmoil and potential tragedy, Megan and Danielle show startlingly level-headed composure. Perhaps nothing captures their spirits better than Danielle's confession to Megan, "I love you, you idiot. You're my person."
What makes Until Death Do Us Part a special piece, is that as a documentary film, it acknowledges the struggle, concern and desperation of dealing with illness while still showcasing the remarkable resilience of both these women. We see examples…

Issue 2 of 3
As everyone makes the long, slow arduous countdown through the next few weeks before the YEMSG run, I'm happy to continue my 2011 cover recap and NYE cover preview. For issue 2 of my MSG Preview I take a look back at the covers that were taken off the shelf, dusted off and busted out throughout 2011. Not known for their extensive jams or other key Phish elements, the songs included in this recap have a different place in the band's history.
With nine songs falling in the 100 or more show category, this is the cut-off point for this recap / preview – apologies to Let it Loose (96 shows). In 2010 Phish busted out Quinn the Eskimo in Telluride after 209 shows, returned it to regular rotation in late Summer and Fall 2010 and treated the 12.30.10 crowd to it. On 12.31.10, Phish rang in the New Year with After Midnight after a 206 show bust out in Manchester that Fall. What will be 2011's version? Let's take a look at the choices.
Daniel Saw the Stone (Show Gap: 137)
It took the band 14 (if you include 1.1.11) shows to bust out a cover in 2011. An up tempo tune perfect in the number one slot at any show, the traditional Daniel Saw the Stone is a spirited Phish cover and at Merriweather Post 1, joined the sign request family so popular in the last few years. While Daniel Saw the Stone isn't going to set any records for length, it will get the vets into hoedown mode quick. Gordon's voice is spot-on for backing vocals on Daniel Saw the Stone with Page and Trey leading the charge. A relatively standard, albeit not playing frequently, Daniel Saw the Stone is tough to criticize and may find itself back before the end of 2011.
MSG Likelihood: 5.5/10
Lonesome Cowboy Bill (141)
Opening Merriweather 2 with Buried Alive, the Phish handed over the vocals for another upbeat and busted out cover, Lonesome Cowboy Bill. Lonesome Cowboy Bill has been played six times to date, three times before and twice since it joined the band's Velvet Underground costume in 1998 in Las Vegas. Fans of Fish on the vocals outside of HYHU antics and straight forward twang would enjoy seeing Lonesome Cowboy Bill in the start of a first set early in the NYE run, but a part of me has to think this is a tall order. Trey's solo in the middle of the tune inside of MSG would undoubtedly lead to the kind of cheer that venue is known for in Phish lore.
MSG Likelihood: 4.5/10
Bike (100)
Obviously completely ridiculous, Bike isn't a stranger to the Fish – and Phish – HYHU treatment. A relative standard in the HYHU rotation for the mid-90's, it was just that – in rotation. When looking at the band's Pink Floyd covers, Bike isn't the first one that comes to mind and I would guess many-a-fan doesn't know Syd Barrett is the original author. In my last MSG Preview I talked about 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover joining the HYHU ranks. With that in mind, I would lean more towards the band bringing back 50 Ways than Bike.
MSG Likelihood: 3.5/10
Been Caught Stealin' (298)
Joining the Phish ranks in the summer of 1998, Been Caught Stealin' was played again at Walnut Creek in the middle of the second set; a bit of a random choice for a song so perfectly suited for the encore or set closing position. Using a special mic for a truly "special" sound, Trey took a different run at the sound for this tune than he did in 1998. A nice treat to have a rare piece of equipment is a welcome effort at any show, but a replay of Been Caught Stealin' should probably return to the sound seen when the song first joined the Phish catalog.
MSG Likelihood: 7.5/10
Life on Mars? (175)
While Life on Mars? was busted out at Super Ball IX and replayed at Outside Lands, I am only slightly confident that it will return at MSG (Rocket Man may be play the spoiler here). There is no doubt that Life on Mars? is a great Phish cover that has been given an authentic sound. Trey's play through the solos is well-done in both versions from 2011 and while some of the higher pitches are a stretch vocally, the harmonies have a great mid-90's flavor. Like many of these bust outs, Life on Mars? is a fan favorite along the lines of A Day in the Life, just left on the shelf more frequently perhaps leading to its enjoyment. Another attempt in 2012 may be more appropriate.
MSG Likelihood: 6.5/10
Sparks (463)
Probably the most popular of the group, Sparks featured the second longest gap of any bust out cover in 2011. Sparks emerged in the middle of the first set of the "S" show, about the time most people were putting the pieces together about what was going on that night, out of Sneekin' Sally. Many of the cover bust outs from 2011 aren't ripe for jamming. Coincidence? Maybe. The thing about Sparks is the way another jam vehicle can find itself in The Who classic. One of the band's most popular shows, the Bomb Factory, sees Sparks start on a dime out of Tweezer. Nearly any kind of jam, including 3.0's "Plinko" can take a turn to Sparks. Its hard to believe that Sparks has only been played 13 times. Let's hope a return in the NYE run sets the stage for 2012.
MSG Likelihood: 7.0/10
Sweet Adeline (285)
With the band seemingly stuck on Grind as their a capella tune of choice for much of 3.0, the Commerce City "S" set provided a welcome reprieve in this arena. In the regular rotation for most of the 90's, Sweet Adeline is a melodic a capella tune that would be great for everyone taking their wife or mother to their first show. For me, Sweet Adeline is at the top of my "most commonly played not seen" songs and I never expected it to be commonplace enough for me to see live. Of the a capella choices available, I would put this one in the top 5.
MSG Likelihood: 3.5/10
Sabotage (318)
Sabotage is another tune that first joined the band's cover repertoire during the Summer 1998 "Jukebox Tour" and gained relative popularity when it was released through the Hampton Comes Alive box set. No one can deny the crowd-pleasing, rock dance party this tune creates. Killer pedal effects and a goofy smile from Trey make this cover Sabotage will be in direct competition with Been Caught Stealin' to be the high-intensity, alt-rock cover of the weekend. Total random thought – Trey and the boys as Cochese and Sabotage being part of the NYE gag? Time to move on…
MSG Likelihood: 7.5/10
Come Together (537)
The longest gap between versions of some classic Phish covers was also only an excerpt of the song. Come Together showed its face out of another great cover – Rock and Roll – at Dick's 3. Similar in tone (obviously), crowd experience and execution as Instant Karma, Come Together is a hat tip to the Beatles and their influence on the band. When Phish jams can find themselves ranging between Rock and Roll and Come Together through various tones from a similar era things are going well. Come Together being busted out at the end of a 3-night run and the Summer 2011 tour (not including Flood Recovery) was the perfect end to a great year, but I don't expect it to be back this winter.

Below is a selection of Tampa Bay Buccaneers quotes from today's earlier media availability:
Head Coach Lovie Smith
Guard Logan Mankins
(Opening Statement)
"Injury list: Johnthan Banks is getting better. Guys that didn't practice today: Johnthan Banks, Logan Mankins, Austin Seferain-Jenkins, Russell Shepard and Evan Smith weren't able to practice at all. We had some of our players that have been limited a little bit that were able to go for the most part, full practice. I'm talking about Major Wright as much as anything. Logan Mankins, late in the week he injured his groin. [He's] getting better, but we held him out another day. We'll see how that plays out this week. Besides that, [it's] Friday, we're ready to go. We know what's at stake. We need to get a win in the worst possible way. I feel like we practiced that way. It's about playing 60 minutes. We haven't put it all together. [We've] played well at times. We've seen flashes of it, but we'll need to play good football throughout. You look at a 1-3 record sometimes, we know that we're a good football team with a 1-3 record. Jacksonville is saying the same thing."
(On what he is telling the players to motivate them this week in practice)
"I don't want to go around you question, but just that. Not doing a whole lot. We know that. It's about what we've done out here. When you know you need to do something, it's about your preparation through the week and I'm talking about anything we've asked them to do – situations we've put them in, we've seen progress. Friday should be your best practice and that's the case with us."
(On quarterback Jameis Winston protecting the ball and making good decisions at practice)
"Jameis always protects the ball. Most guys in practice protect the ball fairly well. It's when you get to the game a little bit and Jameis realizes what he needs to do. Our team does, as much as anything. When we talk about ball security, of course, most of that, a lot of that is the guy with the ball the most, whether it be our quarterback, running backs whatever. On the other side we would like to talk about ball security when we're getting the ball back more, whether it be through a recovered fumble, interception, whatever. On that turnover ratio that goes both ways. When we have a lot of turnovers we need to get a lot of takeaways and that's what we haven't put together."
(On the kickoff coverage team)
"[It's] a big week and if you have a kicker that kicks it in the end zone and you're really good on coverage and you haven't seen that, that's what we feel like we have. We haven't had to cover an awful lot and you never know when you might have to. If we do, we feel good about our core group of special teams guys. We feel like we've improved the athletic ability, the athletes that we have on it. We feel like we'll be okay."
(On the conversations he has with his staff about putting the players in the right place to succeed)
"Every play we're trying to put our guys in the best situations. That's not really a conversation that we are having. That's what we are doing every play. We're trying to win the game."
(On examining every aspect of the organization)
"Yes, I am, and I'm saying that's what we are doing. We are trying to put our guys in the best possible position every down. That's not something I have to talk to them [about in] Week 5. That's a part of who we are every practice, every play of any game."
(On if guard Logan Mankins is a quick healer)
"We hope that's the case. Again, it's about this weekend. It's a groin injury. It will be hard to keep him out, but if he wouldn't be able to go, there would be a definite reason and I'm talking about an injury. If it's about pain, he'll play."
(On playing this Sunday)
"I would love to, but you just got to wait and see what's going to happen."
(On if the bye week would give him enough time to heal if he is unable to go on Sunday)
"Like I said, I don't know. We'll see on Sunday before the game. I'll see how it's progressed and if I can go, I'll go. If I can't, I can't."
(On what he likes about the offensive line group)
"It's a mesh of age and youth. I really like the young guys. They are coming along. They're both athletic guys and strong guys and, most importantly, smart guys. They get what we want to do and they don't make many mistakes so that's great. They're willing to listen and learn and follow what you think is the right way to do it. That's been the best part about this line."
(On the offensive line creating a standard for themselves)
"Yeah, that's how we want it. We don't want to have hills and valleys. We want to keep going on an upward momentum. It hasn't been pretty, but we are getting better and hopefully as the year goes, we'll continue to improve."

Marvel at the sight of the world's most precious innovations and Doha's best collections under one roof. Gems, stones and watches not to be missed!
Making profits has been the hallmark of Qatar's banks which were awash with adequate liquidity for many years. They were involved in funding mega projects, played an active role in developing retail banking by sanctioning vehicle and personal loans to thousands of expats who came to the country in droves besides supporting the small and medium-sized enterprises in the country to the hilt.
These banks were probably first among their peers in the world to have met the Basel III stipulations, which will come into effect in 2019, as they maintained adequate capital and liquidity in view of their healthy growth over the years.
Challenges ahead
A glance at the latest annual statements of the majority of these banks shows that liquidity is going to be the biggest challenge for them if oil prices do not recover in the next couple of years and they need to take remedial measures so that they do not lag behind when the Basel III norms come into force.
According to the financial statements, the net profits of Qatar International Islamic Bank (QIIB) and Commercial Bank of Qatar have dropped in 2015 compared with the previous year. While QIIB's net profit in 2015 was QR784.2 million compared with QR825.8 million in 2014, the corresponding figures for Commercial Bank were QR1.45 billion and QR1.6 billion, respectively (see chart 1).
Commercial Bank's Vice Chairman and Managing Director Hussain Al Fardan says that the financial results for 2015 were affected by slowing economic growth in the markets in addition to higher than average provisioning taken by the bank's
"The expansion of operations of Qatar-based banks internationally is in itself an indication of the increasing strength and confidence of these banks to compete with other banks in the international arena." HE SHEIKH ABDULLA BIN SAOUD AL THANI Governor Qatar Central Bank "We think banks will manage their funding profiles more conservatively, which should translate into lower growth. We also expect credit losses will increase given the economic slowdown and the pressure we expect in some sectors, such as contracting." FEVZI TIMUCIN ENGIN Director, Financial Institution Ratings - CEEMEA Standard & Poor's
UAE associate. "The fundamentals of our business, however, remain strong and our strategy firm: to continue to build upon our 40-year heritage, further developing a financial institution designed to meet our customers' changing needs," he adds.
A recent report by KPMG in Qatar revealed that combined net profitability of listed banks increased by 4% from the year ended December 31, 2014, as compared with the 13% and 8% growth rates for the prior two years. The collective asset base of all banks has increased by 11% (up by QR110.1 billion) from December 31, 2014, which is primarily due to the increase in lending portfolios by QR105.6 billion (16.3%), although at a lower level than in previous years. This was predominantly due to a gradual acceleration of infrastructure projects as Qatar gets closer to 2022, with growth predominantly from the market and specifically in the corporate sector. Government and government-related entities still account for a significant portion of the assets of listed banks at around 32%, slightly down from the 35% last year.
Whilst deposits grew at 11.2% (up by QR74.7 billion), the 'due to banks' balances had a growth of 28.3% (up by QR22.9 billion) as banks looked to diversify their funding base during the same period. The government and government-related contribution to the deposit base of listed banks actually declined by 4% from the prior year as a result of the economic conditions impacting Qatar and the wider region, which also contributed to the tightening liquidity in the local market, the KPMG report says.
Modest results
Partner at KPMG in Qatar and Head of Financial Services for the Middle East and South Asia Omar Mahmood points out that listed banks in Qatar have delivered a modest set of results for the year ended December 31, 2015 compared with the prior year due to challenging market conditions.
"It's undoubtable that the decline in oil prices has had a significant impact across most sectors in Qatar and banks have of course been affected. However, as well as oil prices, there are a number of other issues impacting the industry including geo-political uncertainty, government cost-reduction measures and increasing competition, all of which have contributed to one of the lowest overall profit growth rates in recent years for listed banks in Qatar."
According to him, the reasons for this include margin compression of costs of funds which have come under pressure as
banks have been forced to look at market and bank funding, given the fact that the lower cost government deposits are harder to come by as a result of the lower oil prices; impairment in increased investment as market sentiment has been reflected in equity prices as the local and regional stock markets have seen a downward trend; tightening liquidity which has come under significant strain in 2015; and impairment charges on loans and advances which have decreased by 21% year on year. "Without this reduced impairment charge, the overall profits of listed banks in Qatar would have declined year on year," he says.
Market sentiment also appears to be correlated with the fundamentals, as the share prices for all but one listed bank exhibited a downward trend in line with the overall stock market. It is also of note that the share price of the five conventional listed banks has on average declined by a far higher percentage (20.6% decline) when compared to their three Islamic counterparts (8.6% decline) – a possible reflection of the greater market optimism in the Islamic banking sector.
Mahmood explains that despite slower growth in 2015, the country can remain optimistic: "Despite concerns over the global economy, lower oil prices, and continued regional unrest, Qatar's economy remains robust, backed by the country's strong reserves and the government's commitment to planned non-hydrocarbon projects, as well as a robust regulatory regime, all of which we expect to have a positive impact on the banking sector in the medium to longterm." The banks will continue to explore international expansion opportunities in the region and outside to help achieve their strategic growth plans, particularly given the constraints noted above, and tap into the increasing number of trade corridors to and from the region. "We expect there to be a continued trend to raise additional longerterm funding and capital, as higher Basel III capital adequacy requirements come into force in a phased manner and banks look to exceed the minimum requirements to fund expansion plans," adds Mahmood.
Qatar Central Bank (QCB) Governor HE Sheikh Abdulla bin Saoud Al Thani said that the global expansion of Qatar's banks is in itself an indication of the increasing strength and confidence of these banks to compete with other banks in the international arena. In an interview with The Business Year, he said that QCB was ensuring that the expansion should be
"It's undoubtable that the decline in oil prices has had a significant impact across most sectors in Qatar and banks have of course been affected.

"With Iran looking for external funding to take up infrastructure projects worth billions of dollars, Qatar's banks could explore the possibility of project funding in and trade finance with Iran." ANDREAS SCHWEITZER Co-founder and Vice Chairman Acquarossa Terme SA Switzerland
prudential. Limits have been fixed on the foreign currency gap. The ratio of foreign currency asset to foreign currency liability of each bank should be at a minimum of 100%. This means that short positions are not allowed, but long are allowed. "More importantly, QCB has been in the forefront in implementation of Basel III requirements. The capital adequacy is being monitored at both solo and consolidated levels. The strength of the banks is also reflected in their ability to meet Basel III requirements with excess capital buffers and low levels of NPLs despite the persistence of low oil prices," he added.
He has a point to score as Qatar National Bank announced last December purchase of National Bank of Greece's stake (99.8%) in its Turkish unit Finansbank for $2.95 billion (QR10.74 billion). The bank will finance the purchase with its own funds and will remain strongly capitalised after the acquisition.
"This transaction is a significant milestone in QNB's vision to becoming a Middle East and Africa icon by 2017 and a leading global bank by 2030," said Group Chief Executive Officer Ali Ahmed Al Kuwari.
Tight liquidity
In its report "Qatari Banks' Profitability To Wane In 2016," Standard & Poor's Ratings Services said that Qatar's banks were likely to face tightening liquidity, slackening credit growth and weakening profitability during 2016. Although the drop in hydrocarbon prices and the government's streamlining of its public investment programme are putting the brakes on the domestic economy, banks' asset quality held generally steady while credit growth remained resilient on the back of strong private sector activity in 2015, the report said.
Director, Financial Institution Ratings – CEEMEA at Standard & Poor's Timucin Engin says that the operating conditions for Qatari banks will toughen this year, denting their profitability. The Qatari public sector withdrew some of its deposits from the domestic banking system in the process in 2015 and the agency expects more of the same in 2016 and foresees a further squeeze on banks' liquidity. Further trimming of government spending will likely reduce private-sector lending opportunities.
"We think banks will manage their funding profiles more conservatively, which should translate into lower growth. We also expect credit losses will increase given the economic slowdown and the pressure we expect in some sectors, such as contracting," adds Engin.
"By entering the virgin Iranian markets (as far as foreign banks are concerned), Qatari banks would be able to tap into a geographical area, close to their home fronts, which is unexplored and ripe for potentially significant returns. And that area is Iran." NICHOLAS MASOUD GILANI Senior Partner Arjan Capital
Iran's market
With local markets already saturated and not presenting much opportunity, banks in the Middle East including those in Qatar are, due to geographic proximity, looking at Iran, which is planning to take up projects worth $200 billion in the coming months after all sanctions are lifted by the US and other countries. While Qatar National Bank already has a representative office in Iran, Emirates NBD, Dubai's largest lender, is in talks with prospective clients in that country and seeking legal opinion on entering the Persian Gulf state.
"Qatar's banks should consider to explore the Iranian market as the Western powers have lifted sanctions after both sides reached a nuclear deal in July last year," says Andreas Schweitzer, an active investor in Iran since 2009. Schweitzer, who serves on the board of directors of various Iran-focussed investment and advisory companies, in particular Arjan Capital Ltd, says that this was because the European Union (EU) banks are still hesitant to do business with Iran as only the EU and the United Nations have lifted sanctions while the so-called secondary American sanctions continued against Iran for violation of human rights and also for aiding and abetting terrorism. "With Iran looking for external funding to take up infrastructure projects worth billions of dollars, Qatar's banks could explore the possibility of project funding in and trade finance with Iran," says Schweitzer.
Besides social infrastructure, Iran is also looking for foreign investors investing their money for upgrading the technology in its oil and gas industry, the energy sector and, much needed, hospitality, adds Schweitzer.
Expressing similar opinion, Senior Partner with Dubai-based Arjan Capital and investment banker Nicholas Masoud Gilani says that not only Qatari banks, but also, all regional banks in MENA and India should explore entering the highly lucrative Iranian banking market.
"By entering the virgin Iranian markets (as far as foreign banks are concerned), Qatari banks would be able to tap into a geographical area, close to their home fronts, which is unexplored and ripe for potentially significant returns. And that area is Iran," he says.
The potential sectors in Iran which the Qatar's banks can explore include trade finance, corporate lending, project finance (extremely profitable especially in sectors such as hospitality, energy and petrochemicals and office buildings), debt capital markets, equity capital markets (listing of Iranian corporates on nonIran exchanges) and wealth management targeting the Iranian diaspora, says Gilani.
However, the banking sector in Iran suffers from two main challenges like nonperforming loans (NPLs) and inadequate capital as many Iranian banks are not Basel II and Basel III-compliant.
The Tier 1 capital of many Iranian banks is weak. "Foreign banks, those that are well capitalised, could enter the Iranian market either through joint ventures or enter independently through the mainland or through the Kish Island Free Zone. The Kish Island Free Zone affords foreign banks the choice of engaging in conventional banking where they do not have to operate under the Islamic sharia," explains Gilani.

Chanel No. 5 is, indeed, a classic - and it's just not great on me. it is an acquired taste and can smell very different from the bottle to the blotting paper to your skin. (YM Will V).
I prefer Coco Chanel much more.
that said, most of the Classic Chanel line-up is a bit too heavy for me.
A nice gift for someone who loves it - but you need to know this before you buy.

I am in pure heaven. This is amazing. The initial spray is not good, but the drydown is heaven! This has lasted 6+ hours on me so far, and still going. It's a beautiful soft, musky swet scent that is just amazing. I wish I ahd tried this sooner!

I tried this out on my wrist at Ulta. Well, when you first spray it, it smells like cat pee. Not gonna lie. I sniffed it again after a few hours. After the pee smell went away, it smelled nostalgic and beautiful. I can't even really accurately describe it, because I don't know perfume jargon. It is like that time you tried drinking coffee when you were 12 years old, and at first you thought it was disgusting, but then you found yourself wanting more and more. An acquired taste. Strangely addicting. Powerfully feminine, a woman who wears this is a force to be reckoned with. I wish I could afford a bottle of my own.

This is my fragrance. It is me. I absolutely adore CHANEL No.5. It has a vintage feel and aroma to it which is exactly what I prefer. It's just perfect. Nothing comes close. I don't wear it everyday because this is *such* an elegant fragrance, more of a special fragrance, so when I spray this on I think to myself, "There I am."

I think a couple of reviews have it right, you really do only need 2 spritz of this and your onto a winner. It's a beautiful and timeless perfume. I'm my opinion it suits ALL ages both me and my mum wear this quite often and it smells completely different on both of us, my advice is grab a tester from your local Chanel counter and try before you buy! It's expensive but totally worth it :)

I tried it before bed, in the morning, before and after workout, Before and after various lotions and it still read detergent and roses, baby powder and dryer sheets. but it looks good on the dressing table though. Im so sad. I guess i cant channel my inner monroe

I can understand the hype behind Coco Mademoiselle and Chance, but I am sorry... I do not understand the hype behind this perfume. It is extremely strong first of all. I ALL for a long last scent like coco mademoiselle, but this one burns your nose. To top it off it is a very powdery, soapy scent. No hint of sexyness at all. I mean, it's Chanel so I understand the price tag, but why people call this a timeless scent or a sexy scent is beyond me.. It's awful. Smells like an old lady...

Three times in my life I have been gifted with No. 5. Three times I have given it away to other people. On me this smells like a stuffy unclean motel room: a combination of body odour, recent sexual activity and air freshener. Every time I have worn it, I have asked friends what they think and all of them have said it's revolting on me. I've also tried testers over the years, in case the bottles I was given were fake or had gone off. Nope, it's just my body chemistry and No. 5 clash very badly. On the other hand this smells fantastic on my mum - clean, elegant and just slightly sexy. In fact it is one of only two perfumes she can wear. This is the only reason I gave it two instead of one.

It is very difficult to write a review for such an iconic fragrance that must have a left a trace in almost every perfume lovers life, be it positive or negative. I have seen people who perceive it as the utmost expression of sex appeal, it was Monroe's fragrance!, people who perceive as a symbol of proper, classic chic as well as people who run for the hills as soon as they hear the name. Here on MUA, it is one of the most reviewed fragrances with 894 reviews in 12 years whereas it is not among the top 10 favourite fragrances of any age group. Still, with so many variations, formulations and reformulations over the years, I do not think these offer us a clear-cut idea about No.5 as trying to find out who is talking about which formulation could be a long-winded pursuit. Perhaps it is the best to try it to discover whether you love it, hate it or are indifferent.
My own experience over the years shows me that I definitely prefer newer formulations of Chanel 5 because I have a big difficulty with civet and modernised versions are definitely cleaner – although for some of us, also lacking character. Today, I perceive Chanel No. 5 as a very very attractive aldehydic fragrance that is somewhere between aldehydes with more of a vintage feel – my dear Farouche- and those with a cleaner vibe – my beloved Rive Gauche. Somewhere between these two, Chanel No.5 manages to handle both formal situations and casual jeans and a white shirt extremely well. On my skin aldehydes create a clean, radiant vibe which is not sharp at all. Together with a softspoken rose, Chanel No. 5 becomes both very comfortable and elegant, with some very expensive floral soap feeling somewhere. It is not as golden or luxurious as Amouage Gold or Caleche and neither is it as white as Rive Gauche. If it were a colour, I think it would be bronze with rosy undertones. I can see how it may become a skin scent for some while it is worn like jewellery by others.
It is soft with low sillage on my skin - I use No.5 cautiously- but has good lasting power.

All of the information provided below about André Breton, one of the founders of the surrealist movement, comes direcrly from here:
André Breton (1896-1966)
French poet, essayist, critic, and editor, chief promoter and one of the founders of Surrealist movement with Paul Eluard, Luis Buñuel, and Salvador Dali among others. Breton's manifestoes of Surrealism are the most important theoretical statements of the movement.
Ma Femme à la chevelure de feu de bois
Aux pensées d'eclairs de chaleur
A la taille de sablier
Ma femme à la taille de loutre entre les dents du tigre
Ma femme à la bouche de cocarde et de bouquet d'étoiles de dernière grandeur
Aux dents d'empreintes de souris blanche sur la terre blanche
A la langue d'ambre et de verre frottés
Ma femme à la langue d'hostie poignardée
A la langue de poupée qui ouvre et ferme les yeux
A la langue de pierre incroyable (...)
(from 'Ma Femme à la Chevelure de Feu de Bois')
André Breton was born in Tinchebray (Orne), the son of a shopkeeper. He spent his childhood on the Brittany coast and started early on to write poems – he knew the poet Paul Valéry while still young. Breton studied medicine and later psychiatry, and in 1921 met Freud in Vienna. He never qualified but during World War I he served in the neurological ward in Nantes and made some attempts to use Freudian methods to psychoanalyze his patients, whose disturbed images he considered remarkable. Among Breton's friends was Jacques Vaché, a wounded, rebellious soldier, who declared art to be nonsense. Vaché died of an opium overdose in 1919 in a hotel room with another young man, but his views, expressed in Lettres de guerre (1919), continued their life in the Dadaist movement.
Breton joined first in 1916 the Dadaist group, but after various quarrels continued his march forward: "Leave everything. Leave Dada. Leave your wife. Leave your mistress. Leave your hopes and fears. Leave your children in the woods. Leave the substance for the shadow. Leave your easy life, leave what you are given for the future. Set off on the road." He turned then to Surrealism and cofounded with Louis Aragon and Philippe Soupault the review Littérature. Very important for his literary work were his wartime meetings with Apollinaire. His MANIFESTE DU SURRÉALISME was published in 1924. Influenced by psychological theories, Breton defined Surrealism as "pure psychic automatism, by which an attempt is made to express, either verbally, in writing or in any other manner, the true functioning of thought. The dictation of thought, in the absence of all control by reason, excluding any aesthetic or moral preoccupation." In the Second Manifesto Breton stated that the surrealists strive to attain a "mental vantage-point (point de l'esprit) from which life and death, the real and the imaginary, past and future, communicable and incommunicable, high and low, will no longer be perceived as contradictions."
Breton and his colleagues believed that the springs of personal freedom and social liberation lay in the unconscious mind. They found examples from the works of such painters as Hieronymus Bosch and James Ensor and from the writings of Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud, Alfred Jarry - and from the revolutionary thinking of Karl Marx. The Surrealist movement was from the beginning in a constant state of change or conflict, but its major periodicals, La Révolution surréaliste (1924-30) and Le Surréalisme au service de la révolution (1930-33), channeled cooperation and also spread ideas beyond France.
In the 1930s Breton published several collection of poems, including Mad Love (1937), a defence of an 'irrational' emotion of lovers, which used the Cinderella myth. Humor was an essential part of the Surrealists' activities and Breton also edited in 1937 an anthology on l'humour noir, which featured such writers as Swift, Kafka, Rimbaud, Poe, Lewis Carroll, and Baudelaire. "When it comes to black humor, everything designates him as the true initiator," Breton wrote on Swift. His prose has been more highly rated than his poetry, and among his masterworks from the 1920s is NADJA (1928), a portrait of Breton and a mad woman, a patient of Pierre Janet. The title refers to the name of a woman and the beginning of the Russian word for hope. Breton's first-person narrative is supplemented by forty-four photographs of places and objects which inspire the author or are connected to Nadja. In LES VASES COMMUNICANTS (1932, The Communicating Vessels) Breton explored the problems of everyday experience, dreams, and their relationship to intellect. "Anyone who has ever found himself in love has only been able to deplore the conspiracy of silence and of night which comes in the dream to surround the beloved being, even while the spirit of the sleeper is totally occupied with insignificant tasks", he wrote. "How can we retain from waking life what deserves to be retained, even if it is just so as not to be unworthy of what is best in this life itself?"
From 1927 to 1935 Breton was a member of the French Communist Party. Although he broke with the party in disgust with Stalinism and the Moscow show trials, he remained committed to Marxism. In Nadja he had said: "Subjectivity and objectivity commit a series of assaults on each other during a human life out of which the first one suffers the worse beating." With Leon Trotsky, whom he met in Mexico, he founded in 1938 the Fédération de l'Art Revolutionnaire Independant, and produced a paper on the civil liberties of an artist. When the Nazis occupied France, Breton fled to the United States with Marcel Duchamp and Max Ernst. He held there a broadcasting job and arranged a surrealist exposition at Yale in 1942. On a boat ride to Martinique in 1941 Breton met the anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss and discussed with him artistic creation. Lévi-Strauss criticized that Breton's definition of a work of art as the spontaneous activity of the mind opens the question of the aesthetic value of the work. Breton answered that he is "hardly interested in establishing a hierarchy of surrealist works (contrary to Aragon who once said: "If you write dreadful rubbish in an authentically surrealistic manner, it is still rubbish") - nor, as I have made clear, a hierarchy of romantic or symbolist works." (from Look, Listen, Read, by Lévi-Strauss, 1997)
During the war Breton wrote three poetic epics in which he dealt with the theme of exile. After WW II Breton traveled in the Southwest and the West Indies and returned to France in 1946. He soon became an important guru of a group of young Surrealists. In the 1940s and 1950s Breton wrote essays and collections of poems, among them ARCANE 17 (1945), a mythological work set in Canada. Breton's last poetical work, CONSTELLATIONS (1959), paralleled a series of poems with Joan Miro's gouaches. André Breton died in Paris on September 28, 1966. His three-room studio at 42 Rue Fontaine became a research center, preserved by his third wife Elisa. Breton's daughter Aube from his marriage to Jacqueline Lamba decided to put his books, drawings, paintings, sculptures, photographs, and other items on the market in 2003 after the French government did not buy the personal collections.
Surrealism: A movement in visual arts and literature between World Wars I and II. Much used technique among Surrealists was automatic writing. The later influence of Surrealism can be seen in the works of such authors as Eugéne Ionesco, Samuel Beckett, Jean Genet, and other writers of the Theater of Absurd, the French writers of the nouveau roman of the 1950s and '60s. Breton's influence was wide and left impact on psychoanalysis and feminism through Jacques Lacan, on politics via Herbert Marcuse, on criticism through Roland Barthes - just to mention a few important names. - For further reading: André Breton by J.

Larry "Chico" GODwin has been selected as the MPD Enforcer2.0's first Asshole of The Year Award. The competition was tough and some individuals attempted to skew the voting by manipulating the votes. At least one individual wanted Bill Woodard to win this coveted prize. He/she manipulated their ip in an attempt to ensure Woodard's victory.
We recognize GODwin is a complete asshole and no doubt will continue his reign into 2009. Since the Mayor will not listen to what we and the citizens want, there is hope that an indictment will be in order during the first quarter of 2009. A possibility of conspiracy charges and tampering with evidence in the Ashley Scott trial? Maybe charges stemming from his ticket fixing scandal? We are still waiting for the outcome from the City of Memphis ethics committee (or should we say person). Has the media forgotten about this as well?
The crime and corruption in this city should be no joke to anyone. We still live in a free society and should demand more from our elected/public officials. Running a city like a HIGH SCHOOL fraternity should not be allowed. We MUST bring in outside pressure on the elected officials of Memphis. We must take our cause to the national level. That is why I looked at an outside firm (as well as local) to be on my legal team. Memphis officials cannot handle the outside pressure and negative spotlight continually cast on their mistakes. We must bring Washington D.C. to our fight. We must have and outside agency micro-manage our government until it can stand on it's own feet. Enough is enough.

Root Canal Therapy
The root canal procedure has earned the distinction as one of the most feared treatments in dentistry. However, the goal of the root canal is to save an infected or damaged tooth, and it's an excellent procedure for accomplishing that. Learn more about what happens during root canal therapy.
What does the Root Canal Process Entail?
Essentially, a root canal involves removing the pulp, nerves, and living tissue from an infected tooth, and replacing it with special medicated dental materials. By getting rid of the damaged or infected inner parts of the tooth, the visible parts can be saved. After the root canal procedure, a crown will be placed over the tooth, strengthening and protecting it.
4 Signs that You May Need a Root Canal
- Swelling or tenderness
- Severe toothaches
- Extra sensitivity to hot and cold
- A growth or abscess on the gums
Need a Root Canal in Fort Myers? Call Dr. Douglas Milsap!
Root canal surgery has a bad reputation, but it's actually a highly effective procedure that can save your tooth. If you suffer from toothaches and pain in your gums and mouth, a root canal may be the optimal solution. Fort Myers citizens can visit Dr. Douglas Milsap to find out more about the procedure and determine whether it's right for them. Contact our office today!

At Santander, we believe that our ongoing success relies upon upon a talented, satisfied and valued work power. As a substitute of requiring the creditor/plaintiff to prove under which terms credit score was extended, and that the Defendant agreed to those terms, these courts of appeals are glad if the proof submitted by the creditor features a series of credit card statements showing transactions and Defendant's handle on them, and if there is no such thing as a evidence that the handle was flawed or that the Defendant disputed any of those billing statements.
Maybe an individual with bad credit is attempting to get a better job or second job to pay off debt. I think it is totally inappropriate for companies to do credit score checks, its has no basis for the way effectively a person will do at their jobs. The WRTTC provides college credit score workforce packages, which correlate to high school career & expertise programs.
Credit score checks in these states were considered unfair to laid off employees, these with excessive medical bills by way of no fault of their own, and those who lost their properties within the US mortgage and banking catastrophe of the late 2000s. Midland and Encore have their primary place of business in San Diego, California. Employers should inform you in writing that they'll run a credit score historical past check, they usually cannot run credit score historical past checks without your consent.

Monocacy Cemetery
West Hunter Road & Route 28
Beallsville, Montgomery County, Maryland, USA Show Map
|5,660 added (99% photographed)
Located in the upper West area of Montgomery County, near to Sugarloaf Mountain, is this secluded and historic place.
Monocacy Cemetery occupies the property that was the former Chapel of Ease of All Saints parish of Frederick County, known as Monocacy Chapel, which stood as early as 1747 in which prayers for peace were offered during the Revolutionary War.
In 1770, when the parish of Montgomery expanded, the St. Peter's Episcopal Church took possession. During the War of 1812, it became a camping ground for the American forces.
In 1849, the congregation moved to a new church in Poolesville, leaving the old church to fall into ruins. In January of 1872, the vestry of St. Peter's transferred the churchyard over to the newly formed Monocacy Cemetery Society of Montgomery County, which included Frederick Sprigg Poole, Dr. N. Brewer, William Wallace Poole, Howard Griffith, Nathan White Allnutt, John A. Jones, and Isaac Young. Burials began taking place shortly afterward, though there are many stones from the original chapel still surrounding the rebuilt chapel.

Practical training course for Process Control engineers who want to make use of process simulation (Steady-State and Dynamic) for their daily work
Process Engineers are heavy users of simulation tools to design new processes or revamps, and mostly all simulation training courses are designed for them. However, there is almost no specific simulation courses targeted for Process Control Engineers, who can make use of the simulation tools to perform specific control tasks with the help of a simulator. The course is intended for control and APC engineers who wants to get introduced to the uses of process simulation oriented for control The attendee should have in mind the followings points in order to fully benefit from the course: No previous contact with process simulation is required for the course Basic chemical engineering background or equivalent process plant experience is required Knowledge of process control fundamentals Basic knowledge of control/operation of distillation columns Desirable 1-2 years experience in process control roles

Biotic Responses to the Permo-Triassic Mass Extinction
About thirty million years before the dinosaurs and their relatives ("archosaurs") took center stage as Earth's major charismatic megafauna, the Permian period ended with a lasting global biodiversity crisis that disrupted links in animal communities both on land and in the seas. This event, sometimes called the "Mother of Mass Extinctions" is known to paleontologists as the Permo-Triassic mass extinction (or sometimes End-Permian mass extinction) (ca. 252 million years ago). Although its cause remains elusive, this major period of ecological turnover shared many characteristics with the K-Pg extinction that would kill-off the non-avian dinosaurs nearly two hundred million years later, but with a much higher death toll wiping-out some 90% of animal species. It is estimated that animal communities did not return to their former ecological diversity until some five-to-eight million years later, during the Middle Triassic period.New research on this extinction seeks to record ecological diversity and richness across the Permo-Triassic transition in order to better understand whether the catastrophic nature of mass extinctions permits normal ecological patterns as seen during background intervals (i.e., constructive selectivity) and how these extinctions reset the rules for biotic recoveries. Our contribution to this research demonstrates that (1) smaller body sizes generally conferred greater probability of lineage survival and (2) post-extinction taxa living in the immediate aftermath of the extinction were generally short-lived with a relatively short period of subadult growth. Collaborative research on other Gonwanan faunas is also showing that post-extinction communities became increasingly provincialized by the Middle Triassic, with the waning of synapsid-dominated faunas and the emergence of diverse archosaur-rich communities across Gondwana (and perhaps across the Pangean supercontinent more generally).

Paleoecology of Land-based Communities During the Carboniferous-Permian Transition: The Earth's Last Icehouse-Hothouse Transition
The Carboniferous-Permian (C-P) transition (ca. 300 million years ago) is our best deep-time analog of present day climate warming. At its onset, the southern hemisphere was largely glaciated and cool-temperate forests were apparently wide spread, even at near equatorial latitudes. Subsequently, however, the transition into the Permian brought a shift from global icehouse to hothouse conditions, including increased seasonal aridity in paleoequatorial regions, and an associated, geographically diachronous replacement of wet 'Carboniferous-type' floras by conifers and more xeric or dry-adapted floras.This research explores spatial variation in responses of terrestrial vertebrates to climate change, including regional provincialism and shifts in vertebrate distributions during the C-P transition. Observations by our team indicate that in western and central Pangea dry-adapted faunas began to proliferate relatively early during this transition, predominantly along a northwest-southeast gradient toward the margins of the Tethys seaway, and were associated with significant regional homogenization and seasonally adaptive behaviors, such as estivation and burrowing behavior. We want to characterize the dynamics of these spatial and temporal shifts because it will allow us to better understand (1) how accurately regional problems can be applied to global-scale questions (e.g., extra-basinal correlations and biostratigraphy, global biodiversity, etc.), (2) how changing climates have influenced the evolution of terrestrial plant and animal communities, their abilities to disperse, and the adaptive value of novel life history and behavioral strategies in new environments; and (3) the long term influences of future climate change on present-day communities. Our current work focuses on comparisons between terrestrial vertebrate assemblages of the northern US midcontinent (Nebraska, Kansas) and four corners (Utah, Colorado, New Mexico) to those of the better known "red beds" of Texas and Oklahoma.
