European Company
The European Company (known by its Latin name of 'Societas Europaea' or SE) is a company established under EU law. It has its own legal framework and can operate as a single entity throughout the EU.
In 2001, the EU adopted, after some 30 years of negotiations, the regulation on the Statute for a European Company and the associated directive on employee participation in European Companies.
This legislation entered into force in 2004. It aims to cut companies' administrative costs, provides them with a legal structure suitable for their cross-border activities within the EU, and helps them avoid some of the legal and practical constraints arising from 28 different legal systems.
Under the European Company Statute, an SE can be set up by:
- merger;
- creation of a holding company;
- creation of a joint subsidiary;
- conversion of an existing company set up under national law.
The SE must have a minimum subscribed capital of €120,000 and its registered office must be at the same place as its head office.

DAN MASTRAPA | Dan, originally from Queens, NY, encountered Jesus in his teenage years after his family relocated to Longwood, Florida. He immediately developed a passion for Christ and the Scriptures. Dan worked bi-vocationally for many years while serving as Youth and Associate Pastor of a hispanic congregation and later served as Executive Pastor of a mid-size congregation in Central Florida.
In 2009, Dan resigned from the church he was serving in to follow the vision the Lord gave him to prepare a "sent" people. Sent Church was born out of that desire to see a community of Christ followers live Gospel-centered lives and partner with Jesus in His mission. Dan is full member in good standing with the Acts 29 Network, a church planting affiliation.
Dan married the love of his life, Bethza and they have one daughter, Arielle. Dan and Bethza are foster parents and have a strong call to orphan care.
Dan loves sci-fi, heavy metal, action flicks, riding his motorcycle and loves to read.

That same year Lee released his solo debut, the indie pop / bubble grunge classic Grandpa Would. In the nearly 20 years that followed, Lee recorded and released eight more full-length records, the latest being the experimental Ayahuasca: Welcome to the Work. For the majority of his career, Lee has crafted wonderfully fun indie pop songs that should have been huge hits. Starting with his last album Deeper Into Dream, Lee has moved away from straight forward pop music into the realm of the concept record. Ayahuasca: Welcome to the Work, a collaboration with Jessica Chapnik Kahn, is a record based on Lee's and Kahn's experiences with the South American healing medicine Ayahuasca. The result is an atmospheric and trippy record that twists and bends what it means to be pop music. Lee is a masterful songwriter and this record displays his growth as an artist.

The soldier, who has not been named, was killed while on a foot patrol in central Helmand Province on Monday morning. Next of kin have been informed.
The death takes the number of British troops killed in Afghanistan since the mission began eight years ago to 220.
"It is with sadness that the Ministry of Defence must confirm that a soldier from 1st Battalion The Grenadier Guards has been killed in Afghanistan," an MoD spokesman said.
"The soldier was killed as a result of an explosion that happened whilst on a foot patrol near to Nad Ali District Centre in central Helmand Province, on the morning of October 5."
Lieutenant Colonel Nick Richardson, spokesman for Task Force Helmand, said: "It is with much sadness that I have to report the death of a courageous soldier in Helmand Province.
"Our deepest and heartfelt sympathies go out to his bereaved family, to his friends and to the many comrades of this proud and brave Guards soldier."
The latest fatality comes after Senior Aircraftsman Marcin Wojtak, a 24-year-old airman from 34 Squadron Royal Air Force Regiment, died in a blast near Camp Bastion in Helmand province on Thursday afternoon.

Blackbird Head of Zeus, 2017
This is an account of the design, production, active service and demise of Lockheed's 'Blackbird' family of aircraft: the A-12, M-21, YF-12 and SR-71.
I point out in the book's first chapter that 'Haynes Manual'-type books about this aircraft already abound, full of the 'wow' factor stressing its technical complexity and record-breaking performance. However, the aircraft's political context is often too briefly summarised, which in my view misses much of the story's abiding interest. Intense paranoia reigned on all sides in the Cold War between 1945 and 1980, and it is in that 'Dr Strangelove' atmosphere that the 'Blackbird' was conceived, when there were at least 16 different US intelligence agencies, each competing for its unique niche, as well as the three main armed services equally competing for their own preferential funding. It needs to be understood why the 'Blackbird' (as the A-12) was a project of the CIA and not of the USAF, how it grew out of Lockheed's earlier U-2 reconnaissance aircraft, and what made it vitally necessary at the time.
Also part of the story of the 'Blackbird"s astounding technical success and humiliating end were the frustrations of the Air Force with successive Presidential vetoes on overflights of the USSR, the project's massive expense, and behind it all the rapidly improving space technology that enabled satellites to do the aircraft's job more efficiently, cheaper, and with no danger of being shot down. It was this, plus a combination of internal politics and external technology, that finally grounded the SR-71. In short, it became obsolete.
In memory, film footage, and museums, the 'Blackbird' remains arguably the most charismatic aircraft ever built: a machine of awesome beauty and performance whose design, construction and testing were achieved in pre-computer days in conditions of absolute secrecy at Lockheed's Skunk Works and at Area 51 in Nevada. Its story tells us a great deal about American attitudes during the Cold War, and how those attitudes were changed into something more cynical by the failure of the war in Vietnam.
There is plenty of technical detail in the book, together with cockpit accounts of near-disaster, actual disaster, ejections, air-to-air refuelling, aircrew selection and the rest.

My Movie Reviews: PS I Love You (blog)
P.S. I Love You Reviews
Posted by:
Article Date:

Michael Brownlee
Publication/Article Link:
I'm a sap when it comes to romantic flicks. I'm comfortable admitting that I've teared up at plenty of movies, My Girl, Love Actually and Field of Dreams among them. So, I don't know if it was because I was tired or the fact that I'd spent the last 12 hours marinating in marital musings, but I have not cried harder, or more often, at a movie in my life. And Karyn was wailing even more than I was. At one point I was laughing so hard, while crying, at the state of the two of us that I missed a good chunk of the flick.
I don't think I'm giving anything away by saying that the movie deals with the death of a spouse. Gerry (Gerard "THIS. IS. SPARTA!" Butler) has a brain tumor and dies, leaving Holly (Hillary "Stop Picturing Me as a Dude" Swank) all alone. But what Holly doesn't know is that, while dying, Gerry wrote a bunch of letters to her, to help guide her in her post-death grieving. A lot of the movie take place in flashback, so we can see how these two met and why they were so good together. The rest of the time we're watching Holly try to cope with the loss, with the help of her best friends (Gina Gershon and Lisa Kudrow) and not-so-helpful mother (Kathy Bates). Oh, and the letters. Lots of letters.
I don't know about you, but I don't think I'd have the presence of mind to create something this elaborate knowing that I might die any second. One letter, maybe. Sure you want to try and say all things you might never get the chance to say. But a whole series of them, delivered secretly, including travel plans and plane tickets? What if one of them gets misplaced? Or the person you asked to deliver them decides to use the plane tickets for them self? But these aren't questions I was asking during the movie. Oh no. I was too busy blinking away tears and blowing my nose.
There are plenty of laughs here too. I mean, you can't have a story this tragic without a little humor. A lot of it is supplied by Harry Connick, Jr.'s haircut. When I first saw him I thought maybe he'd come right from auditioning for I Am Sam. And the soundtrack is good too. (I've already downloaded it.)
So, if you're looking for a good cry, followed by phone calls to all of your nearest & dearest to tell them how much you love them and how much they mean to you, I highly recommend P.S. I Love You.
Oh, and um, I know I don't say it enough, but I love you. No, seriously. I do. I'm not just saying that because you feed my ego by reading this blog. I love you. But I do wish you'd call more. I'm just saying.

The images are striking. One shows a coral castle of many towers. Another shows a snake-like fish. Yet another focuses on a sea turtle seemingly in flight, as it glides through water with outstretched flippers.
The underwater world is a place of many images, from the beautiful to the bizarre. It's this world that Michael Schoenwald is sharing with the public through "Visit The Silent World: A Global Underwater Photographic Exhibit."
The exhibit of 133 of Schoenwald's photographs is on display through Sept. 27 in Room 4009 on the fourth floor of the Nova Southeastern University Library, Research and Information Technology Center, 3301 College Ave., Davie.
"It's a world that is not easily accessible," said Schoenwald, a physician and chief of urology at Hollywood Medical Center in Hollywood. "I find it tranquil, educational and exciting."
Schoenwald's descent into this world began while in high school, when he read Jacques Yves Cousteau's The Silent World and afterward learned to dive. Later, he started taking photos.
He has explored the underwater world around the globe, including such spots as the Caribbean, French Polynesia, Hawaii, Cozumel, the Middle East, the Great Barrier Reef of Australia and the Florida Keys.
He has experienced up-close experiences with sharks, moray eels and bizarre life forms and has captured those experiences on film.
Although Schoenwald had never explored having his photographs published, he did hang them on the walls of his Hollywood medical office, and it was there where the idea for the exhibit began.
One day his friend, Abraham Fischler, president emeritus of Nova Southeastern University, noticed the photos.
"These are phenomenal," said Fischler, who served as the university's president for 22 years until 1992. "I was impressed with the pictures I saw and thought, `It's a shame that other people don't get a chance to see this world.'"

Open Thread: It Happened to You
This is your place to talk about the funny, sad, outrageous things that are happening in your life -- whenever you're ready.
I put on a knee brace for the first time yesterday, cinching the black bands tighter and tighter, until they finally held my knee joint in place. As I stood up, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror. Knee brace, red hair, Gatorade. It wasn't me anymore. It was my mother.
My mom has always been sick. She suffered from one strange ailment after another, many of which sounded pretty alarming to me as a kid. Her mother wasn't in good health, either, and her siblings and their kids had a litany of medical problems, too. I didn't think much of my own childhood health problems, mostly because being unhealthy seemed to be the norm in my family. It was before the age of Google, WebMD, and Facebook. I saw my family's health problems, and my own became normal -- or at least not that abnormal.
As I reached adulthood, though, it really seemed like something was amiss. I had been born with only one hand, and I started to develop one weird health problem after another. They never quite fit the mold, so most doctors blew me off, and a few even suggested that maybe I was just "tired" or "depressed." But eventually I got bad enough to be taken seriously.
By 2011, after the birth of my youngest children, my health had reached a critical point and I found myself in and out of the hospital, on oxygen, and on high doses of steroids (for life, they said). Where I had once figured that I just wasn't overly healthy, now I began to wonder whether I even had that many years left to live. I was 33 years old.
My mother, then 54, also began to decline. After a year or two, she had to leave work and receive in-home nursing care, where she largely remained in bed. Around the same time, one of my youngest daughters began to exhibit concerning symptoms and was eventually diagnosed with a "possible" mitochondrial myopathy. The answer to all of these strange, seemingly unconnected health problems suddenly dangled just out of reach, hidden somewhere in our shared cellular pudding.
Mitochondria, as I later learned, are the tiny powerhouses found in every cell in our bodies other than red blood cells. They provide energy, regulate metabolism, and perform waste removal on a cellular level, among other things. Problems in the mitochondria can manifest in diseases in almost any system of the body, but they are frequently found in the muscles, brain, eyes, kidneys, liver, and GI tract.
There is no simple test for mitochondrial disease. Diagnoses are made based on genetic testing (if insurance will cover the expensive tests and/or a known mutation is even found), muscle biopsy, lab work, and clinical findings. However, there are few mito specialists in the country and most have lengthy waitlists, if you're lucky enough to live near one.
Despite living in Seattle, home of darn near every type of research and medical facility in the world, I wasn't one of the lucky few. In fact, there isn't a single adult mito specialist in my entire state, or even any of my neighboring states. Instead, I was sent to a general geneticist for an evaluation and testing.
My geneticist isn't a fan of whole genome genetic testing. She says that we simply don't know enough yet to interpret the results. She says that it uncovers all sorts of unexpected risk factors. She says that it's overwhelming. I said that I wanted it done before my last few months of full coverage insurance ran out. I said that I wanted to have access to my genetic information, even if we don't know how to interpret it yet. I said that it's better to have information now and interpret it through time.
But, she is the doctor, and I am just the patient. So, I didn't get that $20,000 genetic testing done when my insurance would've covered it. Instead, I was sent for a $30,000 muscle biopsy.
On the day of the muscle biopsy, I snuck my iPhone into the OR in the pocket of my hospital gown. I wanted to take a picture in recovery of the gash left when they removed a piece of my muscle. I wanted to remember that day, in case it finally brought me answers. I didn't realize then that the scar was never going to fade from my arm or from my mind. I also didn't realize that my diagnosis would only bring a brief validation, and a permanent, unrelenting awareness of my own life's thief.
Mitochondrial disease can be fatal. My form isn't terminal, in the common sense of the word. It will probably not kill me anytime soon. But, it is there, in my cells, worsening without fail. It cannot be treated or stopped, and there is no cure. My doctors tell me to try a few vitamins, but remind me that they aren't proven to work. It's all they can do, and they are kind, but they are there solely to manage my pain. They are not there to treat me or cure me.
We are equally helpless in the face of cells that simply do not work as they should. There is nothing to fight, nothing to battle -- just broken genes in a broken body.
While my muscle biopsy showed evidence of mitochondrial disease, it didn't provide a genetic culprit. With so many family members who could potentially be impacted, it would be crazy to subject them all to muscle biopsies. Had we run the genome, and found the gene, we could've easily tested my entire family for a single gene. Instead, we don't know which gene is causing our symptoms, or even which of my children may have inherited it. And, without a genetic cause, I am left without any hint of my own prognosis.
Different forms of mito have different prognoses, you see. Now, instead of the excess of information that my geneticist feared, we are left with nothing but a question mark. Mito, it turns out, wasn't the answer. It was simply the beginning of the answer.
It's been 18 months since I was diagnosed. I have raged. I have bargained. I have denied. I have accepted. And I have swung from one stage to another and back again, repeatedly. I have traveled more and saved less and made my choices for today, because I know that my tomorrow will look very different. I have begun to learn to live my life with an expiration date, instead of a vast expanse of possibilities.
I have often wondered what the point is of all of this. I do not believe in God, or an afterlife. I do not know why we are here, but I don't think that there is any intrinsic value in suffering. I haven't always been disabled. I remember what it was like to dance and run and ride a camel in Egypt and climb the stairs of Santorini, and even to walk through the grocery store without having to rest or use a wheelchair. I remember what it was like to work a job I loved and excelled at, and to carry my children up the stairs to bed at night. I remember what it was like to be, if not healthy, at least less unhealthy.
And I do not know why that was taken from me at 33 years old. I can tell you about my mitochondria, but what I do not know is why this had to happen to me, and my family, and god forbid some of my children. I know the science, but I do not understand the humanity.
Some of my kids are teenagers now. They aren't very interested in my various ailments, but they all have an opinion about whether they want to know their own genetic fate. One, like my geneticist, says that it's too overwhelming. She doesn't want to know whether she will end up like me.
She lives with me, and she sees the side of my health that no one else does. She knows, as well as anyone else can, what my brand of mitochondrial disease entails and she wants nothing to do with it. She will go to Australia when she is 18, she says, and learn to surf. She will travel and experience the world, and she will not look for her fate in her DNA.
I sometimes wonder if I would've been better off following her approach. Would I be happier if I still didn't know what was wrong with me? Would ignorance be bliss? It's a tempting idea, but I know that my health problems would have found me wherever I tried to hide.
Without my mito diagnosis, I would still be spending half of my life at the doctor searching for answers. I would still be battling to be heard and acknowledged. While this diagnosis hasn't brought me peace, it has brought closure to my diagnostic quest. And, besides, even if I didn't know that I had mitochondrial disease, I wouldn't be surfing in Australia. I would be living the life that my genes have left me with, whether I knew enough to blame them or not.
I am glad, though, that there was a time when I assumed that I would work until standard retirement age. When I imagined myself an old woman, living in a tiny apartment in Paris, bustling about buying baguettes and fromage for dinner. When I imagined visiting my grandchildren, and maybe even my great grandchildren, and holding them high in the air, bouncing them as they laughed. I am glad that I rode that camel in Egypt and climbed those stairs in Santorini while I still could. And, I am even glad that I know that I might as well drink that Diet Coke and color my hair red because mito will get me long before cancer ever will.
By the time my children are my age, whole genome testing will probably be routine. Perhaps there will even be treatments for mitochondrial disease. There is hope for the future, but probably not for me. My body has been ravaged by this disease, and there will not be a happy ending. I will continue to get worse, organs and systems will fail, and eventually I will die. Slowly, painfully, and without treatment.
But, today, I will cinch my knee brace tighter, to keep my knee in place. I will drink my Gatorade, to replenish the electrolytes my kidneys continuously dump. And, I will live hour by hour, moment by moment, with as much joy as I can muster, simply because it is the only way that I know how to live this life, with its expiration date and its broken genes and its broken promises.
I will choose to focus on the good because the bad is simply too much to bare. And, when I cannot keep going, and the pain is too great, I will be kind to myself, and forgive myself, and go to bed, and try again another day.

Kaboul's warning
26 March 2014|Tottenham Hotspur
Younes Kaboul knows we can't afford a repeat of our start against Southampton when we travel to Liverpool on Sunday.
The Saints took advantage of defensive slips to race into a 2-0 lead after 28 minutes at the Lane.
We hit back through Christian Eriksen on 31 minutes and didn't look back. Christian levelled it and after 46 minutes after dominating the second half, Gylfi Sigurdsson completed the comeback in the 92nd minute.
"In the first half we let them have too much time on the ball and they were a threat," said Younes.
"We have to make sure that we don't start against Liverpool as we started against Southampton. If we do, it will be very difficult to come back again, especially at Anfield.
"We're working hard and we're going there to take something out of the game and hopefully win it."
Reflecting on Sunday's turn around against the Saints, Younes, captain on the day, described the second half display as 'unbelievable'.
"It's a great feeling and that's what football's about, it's for the fans and for us on the pitch," he said. "We were losing 2-0 and then we came back and you are thinking 'football is crazy'. Thankfully, it turned our way."

When I was a little girl, things were simple. There was one breadwinner (my Dad), one kind of bread (Wonder), one kind of milk (whole), one type of coffee (a cup), and one huge television set (Zenith). We had only seven TV channels to choose from, and, while the NBC peacock was mighty colorful, the CBS eye had me hooked.
In fact, CBS was my coming of age. Captain Kangaroo and Mr. Greenjeans popped out of the blonde console before I could say "overalls," and I'd never have survived childhood without Lucy and Ethel. In the sweet '60s of my youth, the CBS eye stared me in the face. Sometimes I even thought it winked back.
But their current feud with Time Warner has turned that wink into a blank stare. Now that CBS has been yanked by Time Warner, amidst childish quarrels over retransmission fees and digital rights, it seems like the big eye has been closed shut, as if a chunk of my childhood has been squooshed. It's all one silly sandbox temper tantrum, with one network diva pulling Time Warner Tamara's pigtails, the other giving CBS Samantha a black eye. It's a blame game of bullying and name-calling. And we, the innocent viewers -- off on our see-saws and swings -- have been blind-sided. I say both media moguls need a time out.
As a kid, I spent many memorable days at home sick under the quilts with Cream of Wheat and I Love Lucy. If hot tea and honey didn't cure me, Lucy's frantic antics mashing grapes and selling vitameatavegamine sure did. And then I had my hilarious animal companions: from Cleo, the whining basset hound, to Mr. Ed, the talking horse. When I felt light and giddy, Dennis the Menace kept me laughing; when dark and intergalactic, Rod (Twilight Zone) Serling kept me afloat. Amidst early pangs of high school clicks and heartbreak, I may have yearned for Little Joe on Bonanza's Ponderosa, but I turned instead to Route 66, zooming down the highway with Tod and Buz in my '61 Chevy Corvette. What was CBS if not Martin Milner, George Maharis and a Corvette convertible? Bored with the periodic table and the 13 colonies, I clicked on Mission Impossible, as Secret Agent Berman; my mission, "should I choose to accept it, involved the recovery of" my sister's stolen charm bracelet.
CBS was better than family therapy. I learned about sibling rivalry from Father Knows Best (mine did too) and Leave it to Beaver. The Cleavers may have been a bit sappy, but June, Ward, and Wally just about lived in my kitchen, Eddie Haskell lived next door, and I practically adopted "the Beav" as the brother I never had. As for my crush on Robbie, the middle of Fred McMurray's My Three Sons, let's just say it got me through algebra. I even learned time management when June and Ward monitored the Beaver's homework assignments, lecturing him about rules, deadlines and consequences.
CBS inspired my dream of a comedy career. I watched my first comic icons at the age of 10 -- from Mary Tyler Moore to Valerie Harper. Dick Van Dyke tripped across his living room; Carol Burnett yodeled into mine. Spinning my lavender parasol against the Manhattan skyline, yours truly This Girl quickly merged with That Girl Marlo Thomas. Encouraged to turn the world on with my smile, I've been sniffing around newsrooms ever since Lou Grant hired Mary Richards at WJM.
CBS amused, but also confused, my pre-feminist female brain. I wanted to be shorthand efficient like secretary Ann (Suzie) Sothern, yet sassy like Long Branch Saloon owner Kitty on Gunsmoke; career-minded like Murphy Brown, yet sultry like deep-throated Emily Hartley on The Bob Newhart Show.
On Saturday nights when my parents left me and my sister with the gum-cracking babysitter, CBS became my pal. Mesmerized first by The Jackie Gleason Show's June Taylor dancers bending like pipe cleaners into kaleidoscope formations, I then became entranced with the 9:00pm bubbles of Lawrence Welk and his loyal Lennon sisters.
On dreaded Sunday nights, I found solace by lying next to my sister under the maple dining room table, waiting for the whistle that signaled the opening of Lassie, followed by our national treasure, Ed Sullivan. Who could forget the huggable Topo Gigio talking to Ed-die and the landmark CBS broadcast launch of The Beatles.
The CBS impact deepened in my teen years. I learned courtroom jargon from Perry Mason and beatnik-ese from Dobie Gillis' Maynard G. Krebs. I watched the CBS eye blink in shock at history in the making as Archie spoke his redneck mind and Norman Lear's heroines talk feminism, abortion, and race on All in the Family; Maude; and Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman.
A teenage guest contestant on CBS' landmark game show Password with Alan Ludden, ("Mr. Betty White"), my celebrity guest hosts were Soupy Sales and Sheila MacRae. I won $700 and a Singer sewing machine, and I'm still searching for the half-stitched skirt I started in 1966.
Yup, CBS totally changed my life. I would never have (a) understood tragedy so deeply without Walter Cronkite's teary announcement of President Kennedy's death; (b) developed my edgy humorist style without Andy Rooney; (c) learned the significance of international espionage, the NSA and Ed Snowden without my addiction to Illya (David McCallum) Kuryakin in The Man from U.N.C.L.E.; or (d) experienced the zany wonder of comediennes Carol, Lucy, Cloris, Bea, and Valerie.
When my father was sick in bed with lung cancer, very few things could make him laugh. The Honeymooners was one of them, and I thanked CBS "to the moon" for making my Dad happy for those precious moments with Ralph Kramden.
So losing CBS programs now for some silly dispute is a smear on the smooth surface lens of my beloved CBS eye. Alas, demands for exorbitant retransmission fees will only trickle down -- first to Time Warner, and then to us, the loyal subscribers. Time Warner is retaliating by denying CBS news junkies the ticking headlines of 60 Minutes; CBS primetimers the pink egg-quirky Under the Dome; CBS comedy lovers the geeky hilarity of The Big Bang Theory; and CBS Sports fans their adored PGA Golf Championship, the gorgeous grunts of the upcoming US Open; and the fanfare of NFL football. Running interference, the blinding Tiffany Network re-retaliated by blocking online access to its shows for Time Warner subscribers.
The two hulky media giants resemble the Big Bad Wolves of our childhood fairy tales. They're huffing and puffing to blow our houses down. Whether it's an icy CBS glare or a nasty Time Warner punch, we're the victim bystanders, blinking in disbelief.
Once upon a time, CBS execs came up with a catchy logo: Catch the Brightest Star. Really? Today it's more like who can Commit the Biggest Sin.

The University of Alabama, through its outreach arm, The College of Continuing Studies (CCS), has been working with businesses large and small to identify training needs and management systems to address their particular problems. For example, the college partnered with Allstate Financial's Southeast Region headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, to create the multi-phase High Performance Leadership development program to address specific company needs and desires to enhance management skills. High Performance Leadership was delivered on-site at Allstate.
The CCS team is being led by Dr. Robert Prescott, a leading expert in the area of executive leadership.
"Telephone interviews, combined with the latest in leadership research, determined the focus of the program," Prescott said, "We then customized our efforts around better communication, influence, decision making and accountability. These four essentials made an excellent launch pad for participants to focus on how to be better managers."
About 80 Allstate field sales leaders have taken part in two half-day training sessions that included determining their current level of leadership understanding, establishing individual leadership goals and developing individual personal plans and actions for achieving those goals. Participants also received personal coaching phone sessions covering topics of their choice such as sales, people management and time management.
Chad Solomon, a Birmingham field sales leader for Allstate Southeast, was one of the participants in the CCS High Performance Leadership training and said he is already benefitting from the program. "I have finished my 90-day plan and am working on sticking to it, which includes being a good resource to the folks I manage and being more efficient with my time," Solomon stated. "I am also picking up new ideas in the course and am getting great feedback as a result of the things I am implementing."
In addition to its training partnership with Allstate, CCS has had several recent successes in its efforts to create academic partnerships with large organizations. These partnerships have a great deal of potential at a time when succession planning and employee development are critical for organizations facing the retirement of baby boomers.
These organizations are allowing CCS to set up UA banners and landing pages in the organizations' intranets. CCS is in turn providing dedicated enrollment counselors to guide employees in developing a path to help them achieve their educational and career goals. To date academic partnerships have been created with Allstate, CSX Transportation, Harris County (Texas) Deputies' Organization, Houston Police Officers' Union, and the Texas Police Trust, which provides benefits for policemen in the entire state of Texas.
Also, CCS, the UA Career Center and UA's Director of Veteran and Military Affairs are also currently assisting Regions Bank in its efforts to bring UA military students and veterans into the Regions hiring pipeline. Regions in turn sponsored the UA Service Member to Civilian Summit held in April 2015.
CCS will continue to look for ways to create partnerships to provide the tools and expertise necessary to help organizations and their employees meet business and educational goals.

Rogers Communications is creating a joint venture with Vice Media to bring the millennial-focused news company's programming to Canadian smartphones and TV.
The companies are investing C$100 million ($89 million U.S.) in the partnership to establish the Vice TV network in Canada and to produce exclusive mobile content, according to a statement today. Rogers is a cable TV, internet and telephone service provider, and the deal adds to the stable of exclusive content Rogers can offer to its subscribers. Last year, it signed a C$5.2 billion, 12-year contract to show NHL hockey in Canada. The Toronto-based company also plans to debut an online streaming service called Shomi, a joint venture with Shaw Communications, in November.
Rogers CEO Guy Laurence has been teasing an upcoming "big announcement" for the last week. He took over the company in December, vowing to improve customer experiences with Canada's largest wireless carrier.
Aspects of the new deal, such as a new "Vice Canada" production studio and new mobile content, will debut in 2015, Rogers said. There is no arrival date for the TV network to share yet, a Rogers spokesman said.
Vice has exploded from its start as a street-inspired magazine in Montreal to a $2.5 billion Brooklyn-based global online media empire, with a show on HBO and partnerships with CNN and The Guardian. The company raised $500 million in September to expand onto mobile devices and develop a 24-hour news network.
In October, Vice CEO Shane Smith said he was looking at ways to generate more revenue from smartphones and tablets. It's also considering producing more programming for traditional television.
Online video is the core of Vice's business. The company distributes content made in-house on its own websites, as well as YouTube channels, and produces a show for Time Warner's HBO. While getting people to watch mobile video has been easy, making money off of it has been a challenge, Mr. Smith said.

Religious Leaders' Views on Radical Life Extension
No religious group in the United States has released an official statement on radical life extension. However, here are brief summaries of how some clergy, bioethicists and other scholars from 18 major American religious groups say their traditions might approach this evolving issue.
To Count Our Days: The Scientific and Ethical Dimensions of Radical Life Extension
The prospect of dying has always fascinated, haunted and, ultimately, defined human beings. From the beginnings of civilization, people have contemplated their own mortality – and considered the possibility of immortality.
Brazil's Changing Religious Landscape
As young Catholics gather in Brazil, awaiting Pope Francis' visit in celebration of World Youth Day, an analysis of census data finds that the share of Brazil's population that identifies as Catholic has been dropping steadily in recent decades. Over the same period, the percentage of Brazilians who belong to Protestant churches has been rising.
Public Esteem for Military Still High
More than three-quarters of U.S. adults (78%) say members of the military contribute "a lot" to society's well-being, according to a new survey of Americans' views on various professions. By contrast, just 37% of Americans think the clergy contribute a lot, putting religious leaders well behind teachers, medical doctors, scientists and engineers.
Growth of the Nonreligious
About half of Americans say the growing number of "people who are not religious" is bad for American society. But a similar share say either that this trend is good or that it does not make much difference, according to a new survey by the Pew Research Center.
Iranians' Views Mixed on Political Role for Religious Figures
As Iranians prepare to elect a new president on June 14, a Pew Research survey shows that just 40% think religious figures should play a large role in politics, while a quarter say religious figures should have some influence, and three-in-ten believe they should have little or no influence. But an overwhelming majority of Iranians say they back the use of Islamic law.

Still on vacation, today I ran around Kennebunkport, Maine. I started along the river and ran toward the mouth of the harbor; then along the ocean. I passed Walker's Point and the home of George H. W. Bush — what a spectacular piece of land jutting out into the Ocean.
I continued on Ocean Ave as it turned into Shore Rd (just as good a name for a road), past beautiful homes, inns, and gardens. The flowers were spectacular. Lots of wild roses and lilies. Eventually the road turned inland and I ran through the cute village of Kennebunkport.
It was another breathtaking run! In case you are ever in the area, the almost 5 mile route is outlined here:

Girls with retarded tattoos?
So long story short the other day I smashed this chick she's latina but think's shes white. She tries to look like one of them white BMX biker chicks with the rockstar hair and she has mad retarded tattoos all over her body.
Do you guys like that? I pretty much find it a major turn off when a girl has way too many tattoos especially of just dumb ***** like satanic stuff and skulls and cross bones.
The whole time she was riding me I was like looking at her retarded tats thinking why did you ruin your almost perfect body? She has a pretty tight body, big booty natural c's and her face is pretty but again she had some tats on her neck and all these dumb piercings on her face.
I don't know if I'm just getting old, but I guess I really didn't ever find a girl covered in tats all that sexy do you?
I mean I guess over all they just appear not clean to me??
This chick is latina but tries so hard to be like one of them white bmx biker/rocker chicks too, so I find that a turn off when a girl tries so hard too?
Do you guys like girls who are all covered in tats? I don't and I dont think I'll answer if she calls me again.

JPMorgan Chase & Co has come to a tentative agreement to pay $110 million to settle an overdraft fee class action, according to papers filed in federal court on Friday.
Plaintiffs accused Chase and more than 30 other banks of processing customers' debit card transactions in a way to wrongfully maximize overdraft fees.
Specifically, the banks processed debit card transactions not in the order in which customers conducted them but instead from the highest-to-lowest transaction balances; the change allegedly caused customers to drain their accounts quickly and maximized the overdraft fees assessed against them.
The case was brought in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
"Chase made enormous profits from overdraft charges, much of it taken from Chase's most vulnerable customers," the class action claims. The bank generated $500 million a year in post-tax income from high-to-low re-sequencing, according to Chase's own analysis.
As cover for its actions, plaintiffs allege, Chase falsely maintained that it had chosen high-to-low processing because consumers requested it. The opposite was true; Chase logged almost 10,000 complaints monthly about its overdraft fees and re-sequencing, according to internal records of complaints.
The deal cut by Chase is only "a preliminary understanding," according to the filing. It is subject to additional negotiation and the approval of U.S. District Judge Lawrence King, who is overseeing dozens of consolidated overdraft cases from around the country.
"We are pleased to have reached an agreement in principle," a Chase spokesperson wrote in an e-mail. Plaintiffs attorneys did not respond to a request for comment on Friday.
Defendants in the overdraft litigation have generally fared poorly. Bank of America Corp. last year became the first to come to an settlement, agreeing to pay more than $410 million, or around 10% of the overdraft fees it is alleged to have wrongfully charged. Subsequent settlements have recovered as much as 60% of estimated wrongful overdraft revenues. A dozen banks have either settled or are seeking to get settlements approved.
Chase's proposed settlement appears relatively favorable to the bank, given that the $110 offered is just 22% of its alleged earnings from wrongful overdraft fees. One factor that likely worked in Chase's favor was a mandatory arbitration clause in its consumer contracts. Judge King ruled that Chase had failed to assert its right to arbitration in a timely fashion, but the bank was in the process of appealing that ruling. A Chase victory in its appeal likely wouldhave killed the class action entirely.
Elsewhere, banks are under pressure to restrain overdraft fees. Revenue from them fell by $3.6 billion to $29.5 billion in 2011, while the median fee customers paid per overdraft rose a record $2.50 to $30.
After a decade long run, banks have largely abandoned high-to-low debit processing under pressure from consumer advocates and regulators. Federal rules have restricted banks' ability to charge customers for overdrawing checking accounts, unless the customers "opt in" to programs that will cover their excess charges for a fee. At the same time, banks have had to overhaul some of their checking and debit-card operations to comply with other federal regulations.

The first my experiment was successful and I created a project combining all these tools and it was successfully built. But during my second experiment very unusual errors have appeared (although jni.h header is included in the build path):
|Figure 1: Errors in Eclipse
I should say several words about the procedure which I use for native development. I create Android java project, then I add jni folder to my project. Using javah tool I generate a header file for my native part. Then I convert project to C/C++ project and configure C/C++ build tools for this project (you should have Eclipse CDT plugin). You can easily find the instructions in the Internet.
Returning to the errors in my project. The first my thought was to compare all project settings in a buggy application with the settings in a working project. I compared all properties and I guess that everywhere they were the same (or maybe I missed something).
Then I tried to look for something similar in the Internet and SO. I've found two similar questions on SO but the solutions did not solve the problem. Hence, this also didn't help me. Thus, I decided to make my own investigation. After several hours of tries, I realized that the problem somehow connected with __cplusplus directive (and in general with C++). I should mention that I developed a C project. Thus, somehow Eclipse had decided that I was developing a C++ project instead of C project. I repeat the steps of converting a project into C/C++ project and found that by default Eclipse converts a project into C++ project and after this it considers it as a C++ project. That's why I receive the errors. Here is a screenshot that shows that step:
To solve this problem you have two options: either to recreate your project from the scratch or to delete one line from your .project file. I think that nobody wants to spend his time on coping files in a new project so I put here the instructions what need to be deleted:
- Go to you project directory.
- Find .project file. I'm developing in Linux, so it's a hidden file. So you need to make it visible.
- Open it with your editor.
- Find section <natures>
- Then delete a line <nature>org.eclipse.cdt.core.ccnature</nature>
- Check that you have a line <nature>org.eclipse.cdt.core.cnature</nature> (with one c!!!)
- Save file and restart Eclipse.
Here are two parts of my .project file: before correction and corrected:

Ronald "Scott" Catt wrote me from jail, asking for the opportunity to tell his side of the story. He wanted to set the record straight on what he calls the "lies" and "grandstanding" of law enforcement.
Behind protective glass in the Fort Bend County Jail, Catt admitted holding up a First Community Credit Union near Katy last October.
"I made a mistake robbing a bank," he said. "Kind of a greedy, lustful thing that I got into. I'm not proud of it."
In surveillance pictures from that heist, you can see Catt wearing a bright orange construction vest, painter's mask and gloves. Investigators say his son was similarly dressed with a fake moustache. Catt's 18-year-old daughter allegedly drove the getaway vehicle.
All three were arrested more than a month later at an apartment a short distance away. Detectives say evidence they found linked the trio to that bank robbery and five others in Texas and Oregon.
Capt. James Berger with the Fort Bend County Sheriff's Office said, "I believe we have enough evidence that we've collected not only for our case, but for the cases in Oregon and other jurisdictions, that would be enough for an indictment."
Catt admitted to us only the robbery near Katy. Investigators say he confessed to them all. On Monday, he wouldn't answer questions about the others, instead asking us why he hasn't been questioned about those crimes by the FBI or other law enforcement.
Catt says he was struggling to pay his bills.
"We did what we did in Cinco Ranch and all three of us have said we're willing to pay the price," Catt said from behind bars. "We did what we did, and we should be punished for it."
In our interview, Catt apologized to the bank employees who were traumatized by the hold up. He says he never intended to hurt anyone. Each family member has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

Scarborough Tesco plan cleared to start
A proposed Tesco store in Scarborough will be built after the government decided not to review a council decision.
Plans for the £14m supermarket on Dean Road were approved by the town's council in December.
The scheme had attracted opposition over concerns about the impact on town centre trade.
The government said the plan did not conflict with national policies, clearing the way for work to begin.
The application had needed to be referred to the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government due to its size.
The council said it was pleased the government had not decided to intervene.
Campaigners opposed to the store had expressed fears about increased congestion on nearby roads and the possible impact on traders in the town centre.
A 5,000-signature strong petition against the plan was handed in to 10 Downing Street in September.
However, planning officials told councillors that any impact on trade in the town centre would be "within acceptable levels".
The Dean Road scheme will create around 350 jobs, Tesco said.

L.A. STYLE – James Brown Is Dead
LA STYLE – THE ALBUM/ The Dutch duo L.A. Style (founded and produced by Wessel van Diepen who later helped create Vengaboys) released "James Brown Is Dead" in 1991. It appeared on Billboard's Hot 100 Airplay chart and was the first techno song to hit the Billboard Hot 100.
Despite the lyrics and title, James Brown was alive at the time of the song's release and did not die at all until December 25, 2006.
Some sources report that the basis for the song is a 1992 broadcast that falsely reported the singer's demise and that a sample of that broadcast became the basis of the recording. Because the song was released in 1991, this cannot be true.
Although a false report of the singer's death may have been made on the airwaves at some time before the song was released (or perhaps at a later date with origins as a prank inspired by this song), this entire assertion may fall under the category of an urban legend.
Holy Noise
"James Brown Is Still Alive"
Single by Holy Noise
Released 1991
Format 7″ single
Recorded 1991
Genre Techno
Length 3:30
In the wake of "James Brown Is Dead", the song "James Brown Is Still Alive" was released that same year by Holy Noise, a techno group also from the Netherlands. Although the first song's lyrics do actually assert that "the hardest working man in show biz is alive", the Holy Noise song is regarded as an answer to the L.A. Style song.[2][3]
This song begins with the lyrics:
James Brown's down
Who the funk do you think you're fooling?
For me the man's still ruling
Stop the nonsense
Stop telling lies
James Brown is still alive

Code of Ethics
You have asked for this so here it is.
These are listed under subtitles
We try our best to ask about this option on Facebook or via email, but sometimes its not very practical.
We would love to have lots and lots of photography to assist us in describing the place
We want to try to keep the costs as low as possible for the students. As you know students don't have a lot of money to spend on eating and stuff.
A good way to do this is by watching out for specials and deals.
Choosing places
We usually try to choose places that we know are good. Or that we have read that are really good. Hence we usually try and go to most of the cheap eats that people have been to before or that we have been to before but have not been reviewed.
We try and choose places that are in the metro area as that is the cheapest. We know that not many students own cars and owning cars is expensive and costly to run.
Reviewing places and products
We disclose the truth about most places and products. If the place is really good or the staff is really friendly we'd say so.
If we think that the staff is underpaid we'd also point that fact out.
If we think that the food/product is awful we'd also mention and why we think so.
Disclaimer: All our reviews are entirely our own and what we thought of the place/product at the time.
Invitations to places and products:
We don't mind these. In fact we'd love them. If you want to invite us to a place or a product launch, please drop us an email at: email@example.com.
But try to invite us to things that are near public transport and during the daytime if you can.
We'd be happy to pay for some of the costs as it is fair for you (if requested).
We do regularly visit events which are beneficial for students and write about them. We also photograph them as well as part of advertising.
We aim to attend events which are cheap for students or free of charge. Our price range is $0-$35 per event. We also don't attend events which requires a car as most International students don't drive much in Victoria.
If you would like to invite us to an event please drop us an email at: email@example.com
Issues and things affecting students
Occasionally there are things that affects students such as the Iranian struggling to pay fees. We will endevour to cover these issues affecting students.
Using recipes and things from the Internet
From time to time it is not always possible to use our words (ie recipes) so we will get things off the net. But when we write up about it we will always mention where they came from
Any questions:
Feel free to ask us at our email above.

As the brew master at Back Forty Beer, the new, soon-to-open brewery in downtown Gadsden, Jamie Ray spends his time getting this new business ready to open and lots of time on the road.
As the brew master at Back Forty Beer, the new, soon-to-open brewery in downtown Gadsden, Jamie Ray spends his time getting this new business ready to open and lots of time on the road.
Originally from Idaho, Jamie and his wife, Johnell, are looking forward to moving to the Gadsden area. For now, Jamie is making the commute from their home in Montgomery.
GADSDEN TIMES: What is a day at work like at Back Forty Beer?
JAMIE RAY: Right now we are ordering equipment, dealing with vendors, making sure our licenses are in place.
I am focused on getting us ready from the manufacturing side of things.
GT: What are some of the rewards and challenges of starting with a blank slate?
JR: Our tanks are custom pieces and made to order. This makes us vulnerable to delays. For example, the tsunami in Japan caused a delay because Japan is the main supplier of food-grade stainless steel. You can't control delays like that. Everything is going to take longer that you imagine.
But it is also rewarding because we are bringing craft beer to Alabama, and that's exciting. It's been a long process, and we are looking forward to making it a reality.
GT: What do you enjoy about your job?
JR: It's having a vision of what you can achieve and working with what you have to create something new.
It's the creative process of starting with raw ingredients and crafting those into something special.
GT: If you weren't a brew master, what do you think you'd be doing?
JR: I would probably be working in hops research. That's something that I was interested in when I was in school.
GT: Do you have any hidden talents?
JR: Well, it's not very hidden, but I do enjoy cooking. (Business partner Jason Wilson adds that Jamie is famous for his smoked barbecue butts.)
GT: Do you have a guilty pleasure?
JR: I enjoy making beer and drinking beer. My job is my guilty pleasure.
GT: When you and your wife are able to move to this area, what do you think you will enjoy the most about living here?
JR: I am going to enjoy being close to my job. You don't realize how important that is until you start making a long commute. And maybe I'll have time to go fishing.
GT: You are on the road a lot with your commute. Is there a road trip you'd like to take?
JR: I haven't been to Alaska by land. I think that would be a good trip.

ISLAND HUMOUR: Storm Warning!! Storm Warning!! Storm Warning!!
The Lois and Isabel when it was owned by the Guptill family out of Grand Manan.
Have I told you about Willis Doughty and his son Everett Doughty from Deer Island? The guys who bought the family carrier, "Lois and Isabel" later in her life? Well, as my brothers Rod and Curt can tell you, we spent an inordinate amount of time at the St. Andrews wharf when we were in the biological supply business and, very occasionally, we would encounter the Doughtys when they were tied up there for some reason or other.
On this particular and beautiful day, they were tied up at the wharf in St. Andrews listening to the weather in the Lois & Isabel. "Big storm coming" they advised us when we came alongside. And they were right. You could hear the weather warnings crackling over the radio. So, of course, we tied up and the Doughty brothers spread the word across the Bay … perhaps with our help.
We stayed tied up and a number of other boats came in to get ready for the blast. But there was no blast, no blast, and still no blast. Next morning dawned bright. beautiful and calm … there was no storm … and the Doughty boys were gone. When next we saw them, we inquired about the storm that didn't materialize. With smiles that only "Island humour" can produce, they admitted that they had made a mistake … yeah right LOL! Well, they said, "We're sorry, but the station we were listening to was Wheeling, West Virginia. And that big ole storm happened alright. But it was way down there we s'spect!" I often wondered if this tale about the trick they played on a bunch of "mainlanders" wasn't told over and over on stormy nights on Deer Island. I suspect it was. Well just in case it died with the boys, here it is resurrected in print.
The Lois and Isabel held wonderful memories for us as we grew up. I think the Bay captured my soul one foggy night on the way to Grand Manan. She was finally abandoned on Ministers Island off St. Andrews, NB and the following images show her end days.
