The First of Its Kind Virtual Jewelry Show
The current extraordinary times due to the COVID-19 Pandemic have brought along many challenges for the Jewelry Industry – speeding up the adoption of technology in the sector.
JCK has planned a virtual event from the 10th to the 14th of August 2020 to help the jewelry industry reset, and restart business.
What should retailers and manufacturers expect from JCK 2020 – the first large virtual jewelry exhibition?

1- How the Coronavirus has affected the jewelry industry and JCK 2020?
Due to the unprecedented situation around the world caused by the coronavirus pandemic, all jewelry exhibitions have been cancelled or postponed to late in the year.
This has removed the main mode of interaction for retailers and manufacturers in the jewelry industry.
Due to travel restrictions and widespread health concerns, JCK 2020, the largest gems and jewelry exhibition in USA – attracting over 3500 exhibitors around the world, was cancelled.
The organizers of JCK 2020 have leveraged technology and taken proactive action by setting up a virtual exhibition from the 11th to the 14th of August 2020.
2- What to expect from JCK 2020?
JCK online will be the first major jewelry exhibition to host a virtual show – with more than 3,500 participants and a large list of invited retailers.
It will also be reaching out to buyers and retailers outside of the United States to help its exhibitors broaden their audience and minimize the impact of the cancellation of Basel World 2020 because of the coronavirus.
Each Exhibitor will be provided a "Virtual Showroom" where they can display their products, marketing materials.
"Visitors" will be given to option to inquire about the products on display via scheduling a conference call or sending a direct message to the exhibitor.
Furthermore, each visitor to the virtual showroom will be listed as a lead for the exhibitor – allowing them to get in touch and reach out for appointments.
- JCK has integrated the capability to host online conference calls into the portal of their virtual exhibition.
3- How has JCK 2020 embraced technology to streamline their Virtual Exhibition?
JCK Online has incorporated many different technologies to create a streamlined experience to help both exhibitors and retailers optimize their time.
JCK has invested in developing algorithms to help guide retailers to jewelry manufacturers who fit their requirements – this series of algorithms is the basis for their "matchmaking" system.
The matchmaking system offers a wide variety of filters and categories, allowing manufacturers to target their product at specific requirements.
The matchmaking system creates a dashboard for the buyers/visitors based on the type of items they have previously searched, and the preferences and requirements they have specified.
This system also provides a CRM system for exhibitors, allowing them to keep track of leads and appointments.
- As previously mentioned, each visitor to an exhibitor's showroom will be listed as a lead. This will allow the exhibitor to reach out to the visitor and request an appointment with them.
4- What about Luxury by JCK?
Historically JCK has always hosted a separate, exclusive section of the show; Luxury by JCK. This section is reserved for premium brands, and manufacturers to showcase their products.
Only companies invited by Luxury may exhibit in this area.
Similarly, for the online event, the JCK 2020 Jewelry Show will be divided into two segments:
- Luxury by JCK
The Luxury by JCK show will begin one day early, on the 10th of August, allowing visitors and buyers more time to view the products from the invited exhibitors.
5- Keeping up the JCK Tradition
JCK has always hosted events during the exhibition to allow retailers and manufacturers get to know each other in a less formal environment, and to shine light on the outlook of the industry. JCK 2020 will be no different.
Informational webinars have been organized for each day, helping both exhibitors and retailers understand the outlook for the industry during, and after the coronavirus pandemic.
Each year, JCK hosts a grand dinner with world class chefs. For the virtual show, they are bringing in some of the best chefs in the USA to host a "cook along" session.
A movie night and games night have also been organized to provide the opportunity for Buyers and Exhibitors to interact in a conducive, casual environment.
6- Paving the Way for the Future
JCK 2020 aims to make up for the lost meeting opportunities for both manufacturers and retailers through their virtual jewelry exhibition.
They have taken the first steps to embrace technology in difficult times for the industry.
With no sign of respite in the situation around the world, Jewellery and Gem World Hong Kong (Previously known as the September Hong Kong Gems and Jewellery Show) has been cancelled.
The organizers of the exhibition, Informa Markets, are looking to follow suite and organize an online exhibition in October.
Details of the event have not yet been disclosed by Informa Markets. An official announcement is expected from them in late August/early September.
7- Will Smart Arts Jewellery attend Luxury by JCK?
Historically, Smart Arts Jewellery has been exhibiting at the Couture Show Las Vegas. This is a highly exclusive show where only invited exhibitors, and invited buyers are allowed to attend. Unfortunately, due to the pandemic, the Couture Show 2020 has been cancelled.
Smart Arts Jewellery has been invited to participate in the Luxury by JCK online exhibition and is currently deciding their plan of action. We believe it is imperative to develop an online presence to decrease the dependency on exhibitions – a point that has been highlighted greatly by the coronavirus pandemic.
Smart Arts Jewellery is still actively working with its existing customers on developing new collections as well as welcoming new prospects through embracing the internet and attempting to maximize its effectiveness.
8- What Steps Should Jewelry Designers and Manufacturers take in 2020?
Start adapting to the changing business landscape around the world.
Jewelry has been an integral part of human societies for millennia and will continue to hold an important place. However, the jewelry industry is changing its approach to embrace technology and the internet – a transition that has been accelerated further by the immobility caused by the pandemic.
We would recommend taking this opportunity to learn and understand how you can transform your business through integrating technology and embracing the internet. This will allow your business to transition and thrive in the long term.

Video transcript:
The rest, the seventy percent who were getting on the call without knowing the product, were'nt in a position to buy once you got them on the call. Also, you would be wasting a huge amount of your time talking about the basics of the product rather than getting them to buy the product.
So by adding this FAQ here, we were able to get a hundred percent of people to read the information before they got on the call. That had a direct impact on the number of people who were buying. The reason it is a hundred percent is obviously, if they're not reading it, they're not clicking on that link that you can track in Infusionsoft, then the call was getting cancelled.
What happened if a call got cancelled? We'd have a staff member call them up and say,. it looks like you havent read the link. We've cancelled your appointment, lets re book you in after you've had a chance to read that information. Theres no point wasting your time on a call if you dont have this information.
Rebooking is fantastic. Every time someone rebooks, so far, we have'nt had anyone, after rebooking who has'nt read the FAQ. A hundred per cent of people who rebook so far have gone back and read the FAQ.

Cybergear offers a digital transformation blueprinting service designed to move customers' paper-based processes to an online solution. Among its many benefits, digital manufacturing processes grant instant visibility to orders and inventory, helping you gain agility and improve overall costs.
There are several different approaches to "going digital." Whether you choose to host your own server or utilize cloud resources, develop a mobile-first or a desktop-kiosk design (or somewhere in between) we can build an approach that works for you.
After determining your digital transformation needs, Cybergear will guide you and your staff through the implementation process from start to finish, using lean exercises designed to streamline your operations. Oftentimes we employ a partial-plant implementation approach, allowing some manufacturing processes to become digitized while others are left as-is for a subsequent project. This phased strategy allows your plant personnel and processes to acclimate and mature, evolving best practices along the way.
Cybergear's end goal is to help develop a system that is fully operational by you. While we will most often take the lead on initial projects, many customers take the reins by the second or third project. We believe a hands-on, educational approach helps build intra-company knowledge and capabilities while reducing costs associated with external contracts.
Talk to us to see how we can help you with "going digital" to transform and streamline your operations.
Digitize with a plan that makes financial and operational sense
See Cybergear in action with a customized demo. Through a one-on-one consultation, we'll give you answers to your unique questions and help you discover which of our services can best benefit your business.

04 Nov Small Town… Big God!
Paul the Apostle set up shop in the city of Ephesus; for three years he taught, trained, discipled, and mentored a young understudy named Timothy. They became close friends and Paul even penned two intimate books to his young Pastor friend canonized in the Holy Writ (1 & 2 Timothy). The Timothy Group has been teaching, training, discipling, and mentoring our clients around the world for more than 30 years. It's not rocket science, it's all about relationships. If you can clearly identify your story, mission, vision, core values, and your need, you too, can be successful.
We have been privileged to mentor a college president in the booming metropolis of Haviland, Kansas, population 683; only 2,516 individuals live in the entire county. Dr. Royce Frazier has been President of Barclay College for 10 years. He has a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, not fundraising, yet Dr. Frazier and his team have completed two campaigns in the past three years. In 2018, Barclay dedicated their new fine arts center, a beautiful $8.5 million facility. And in this pandemic year, Royce led a campaign to raise $800,000 to launch their new Nursing Program.
As they were nearing their latest goal, Dr. Frazier and their director of nursing approached the county hospital foundation with a request for $40,000 a year for three years. Three times during his presentation, Royce mentioned $400,000 a year for three years. WOWIZER, the directors sat there in shock. One of them finally asked, "Let me get this straight, are you asking us for $400,000 annually for three years for a total of $1,200,000?" Royce was just as shocked as the board. Finally, he realized his misstatement and adjusted his request to $120,000. The next day the foundation notified him that they had granted his request. Maybe he was implementing some sort of crazy reverse psychology, but in any case, the Barclay College Nursing Program is now oversubscribed at $920,000. God is Good!
Barclay College is planning a $6.5 million campaign for 2021 for a new wellness center/gymnasium. Two weeks ago, a donor mentioned he might want to put their name on the new building and asked how large of a gift it would require. Without skipping a beat, Royce said, "About half!" This mild-mannered family counselor went from fear to faith and asked a donor for a $3 million lead gift.
We have been in the field with Dr Frazier; we've taught, trained, discipled, and mentored him. We helped him fine tune his asking skills and he has taken it to a whole new level. Let's be honest, many times you have not… because you have asked not. We teach our clients to utilize "Holy Boldness," not a spirt of FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt). If we can help you become a great storyteller and an asker, give us a shout. Very likely you already have the relationships, they just need to hear your story, review your plan, and be encouraged to give!

With each passing week Lakers management is one step closer until they have to make a sales pitch to impending free agent Dwight Howard. Howard hasn't let on what he's thinking or feeling, but is having his camp push things through the media for better or for worse.
For most players, the extended off-season gives them a chance to recover, especially players like Pau Gasol who had knee surgery and Metta World Peace who rushed back from a knee injury also.
Here's a look at the players trending up, down and in the middle thus far in the off-season.
Trending Up:
Kobe Bryant
Bryant let on that he was going to have a surprise announcement last Sunday and most believed that he was going to announce his retirement from basketball.
Now, I'm sure Bryant wouldn't want to retire at an event hosted by John Salley, but regardless, he announced that he was partnering with Sports Spectacular in an effort to fight homelessness in the LA area.
A YouTube video circulated of Bryant walking through Skid Row in downtown L.A. as he and his wife Vanessa have been fighting homelessness for quite some time. It's always great to see an athlete give back to the community and Bryant's partnership with Sports Spectacular is a sign his increasing those efforts. Great job, Kobe!
Metta World Peace
Yes, there is a chance that MWP will move on from the Lakers this off-season, via him opting out of his contract or the Lakers amnestying him. However, World Peace has taken the off-season by the horns and made an appearance on KTLA-5 as an impromptu weather man and live tweeted during the NBA playoffs.
World Peace's sense of humor on Twitter is second-to-none, and while it'd be great to see him and the Lakers on the court, missing out on his Twitter experience would've been devastating.
While his skills as a perimeter defender have surely declined, his footwork and ability to steal the ball are still as good as ever. It'll be interesting to see how the off-season plays out, but for now Laker fans, appreciate him while he's still on the roster.
In the Middle:
Dwight Howard
It's no secret that I believe that Dwight Howard will re-sign with the Lakers, but a report said that he's narrowed his choices to the Lakers and Rockets.
Howard has been very quiet this off-season as he hasn't tweeted much, just responded to his fan's questions. Also, he hasn't been spotted around LA like he was in the off-season and for right now as he said he was going to lay low after the Lakers disappointing season.
Until Howard decides where he's going to play next season, I don't see Lakers fans liking him anymore than they do, only becoming impatient with the time he takes to make his decision.
Trending Down:
Eddie Jordan:
The former Lakers assistant coach who without viable sources might not have said a word all season took the job at Rutgers to be their head coach after the Mike Rice debacle.
However, while it was assumed that Jordan graduated from Rutgers, it's been reported that he didn't, but it didn't kill Jordan's deal to coach the team.
Jordan takes over a struggling Rutgers program, but should enjoy the benefits of moving to the Big Ten Conference next season.
Mike D'Antoni:
More people are talking about D'Antoni's firing than they are his vision for the next three years in Los Angeles. With Phil Jackson's book being released, Lakers fans are still clamoring for Jackson to step in for D'Antoni.
Also, Jackson admitted that when he heard that D'Antoni got the job he simply laughed at the notion that Lakers management thought he could do a better job than him. While that might be true, it sounds like the only way D'Antoni won't be limping on the sidelines will be if Dwight Howard gives management an ultimatum during his free agency.

This week Wine Australia released their annual DTC report, "DTC Surviving and Thriving in 2020-21". They surveyed 123 wineries across Australia to reveal an insight into the state of DTC in the Australian wine industry.
For wineries, the results of the study can help benchmark your winery's success and also areas for improvement. This past year has been particularly challenging for the Australian wine industry with international and intranational borders closing, lockdowns coming and going, and shifts in the international wine market – in particular China.
But what this report shows is that the wine industry is not just "surviving" but "thriving". However, it should be pointed out that respondents only represent about 6 per cent of the Australian wine businesses. Wine Australia states that the sample accounts for about 11 per cent of all wine sales in 2020-21, it's a small sample but there are still some interesting stats to take note of in our opinion. They even state that the results are "applicable to wineries producing between 50,000 and 500,000 cases" in a year.
Here are some of the stand out statistics:
Direct-to-consumer sales in Australia accounted for an average of 18 per cent of a winery's income – with DTC share increasing as winery production size decreases. The report goes on to say that the DTC share of sales was larger for smaller wineries – something that previous years' reports also found.
Wine club revenue decreased to 19 per cent from 21 per cent, but the cellar door channel was still the winner. Even with the border and lockdown restrictions, visitor numbers only declined by 4 per cent across the year, but that is contrasted by a 23 per cent reduction in the previous year. So cellar door visits were recovering. No doubt, many punters took advantage of travelling to wineries in their own state in between lockdowns as they couldn't travel overseas. With borders set to reopen in the coming months, hopefully, the trend keeps travelling upwards.
Online sales were the real winners when it came to volume of sales, up 44 per cent. According to the report, respondents to the survey made several new investments in their online/digital presence, especially in website redesign/content.
Wine Australia says "Strategic focus on DTC customer experience identified as key to success" and having a "high-quality and consistent digital presence across their website and social media channels" was of high importance.

Whether by use, flood damage, or simply age, a damaged furnace should not be something you wait to address.
Replacing older home systems is something that homeowners typically push off until they break down. For something like an air conditioner or garage door, it creates a noticeable inconvenience that needs to be dealt with quickly. But when a furnace decides to stop working, it can impact the rest of your home systems and dangerous for your family.
Whether by use, flood damage, or simply age, a damaged furnace should not be something you wait to address. If you haven't had the experts at JTM over for a professional check-up on your furnace, you may be aiming for more costly (and dangerous) concerns down the road. Below are some warning signs that you should have furnace looked at or replaced sooner rather than later.
It's easy to simply grumble about the cost of your energy bill in the winter, but there might be something more playing a factor than the cold as you turn up the heat. Examining your energy use from previous months and even a year ago can help you track of what your energy bill typically is. If you're finding that you haven't had too many changes in your energy use but your bill has continued to noticeably increase, your furnace might be working twice as hard to keep your home at your usual temperature.
Like all of our appliances, age and general wear-and-tear will impact how well a furnace functions. Heating specialists typically find that furnaces begin to deteriorate or stop working after they pass the 15-year mark. Clearly (and safely) labeling the install date of your furnace on or around it can ensure that HVAC specialist knows just how old a system is when they're looking at it. Unlike other appliances that you may replace more often because you can see that it's outdated, systems like your furnace that you don't see every day should still be on your radar.
Sometimes the jump from Winter to Spring isn't as gradual as you'd like. Recent floods in Nebraska can be a major headache, but can also be cause for concern when it comes to your home systems, including your furnace. Even a small amount of water damage can greatly affect the delicate sensors or components in your heating system, and if it's not inspected by a trained professional after the water recedes, it can cause even more damage.
Finding that your home doesn't quite make muster when heating all portions of your home? Modern heating systems should be able to distribute heat evenly throughout each room in your household. Some rooms with larger or drafty windows may be a factor, but if it's a big difference between sections of your living space, then this is a sure sign that something is up. Even if you have a hiccup where the heater stops working but then its "fine" the next day, that's a sure sign you're heading for trouble.
Trust your eyes, ears, and nose when it comes to your furnace. The next time your in your basement, do a quick once over of your furnace. Does it sound like it's working harder than usual? Does the room where you keep your furnace smells musty and it's not going away? Do you see any visible cracks, rust, or general wear and tear? If so, then don't wait for it to eventually stop working. Like your power or plumbing, when your furnace decides to stop working, it usually happens in a big way. Calling the experts at JTM for a check-up every year or two will help extend the life of your furnace, and ensure that your system is all set for next winter (or ensure it's in working condition after a flood.)
Don't wait to get your plumbing, heating, or cooling systems checked out: JTM is offering an "Early Bird" AC system check for $37, in which we will include a safety inspection of your furnace if you mention the blog. Give JTM a call today at 402-203-6193 or contact us today by filling out the form on our homepage.
Reach out to our team for our 24/7 support, questions, and crew ready to help residential or commercial plumbing, sewer and drain problems.
Water damage can become costly and fast, so don't hesitate to pick up the phone. You can call us for immediate attention when it comes to time-sensitive commercial or residential plumbing emergencies.

Large-scale restoration programs have been implemented worldwide to counteract habitat loss and fragmentation from expansion and intensification of agriculture. These agri-environment programs create habitat patches imbedded in an agricultural matrix. The assumption is these patches benefit wildlife and that individuals either avoid agricultural fields or use them to increase their fitness. We selected eastern cottontails (Sylvilagus floridanus) as a focal species on restored grasslands in Illinois, USA to assess survival and to determine if maladaptive habitat selection for agricultural fields could create an ecological trap. We also investigated whether a mismatch between real and perceived predation risk could explain their habitat selection. We radiotracked 95 cottontails and estimated habitat-specific survival using known-fate models, and measured habitat selection using Manly's standardized selection ratios. We also assessed perceived predation risk with giving-up density experiments. Survival of cottontails was higher in restored grasslands relative to agricultural and developed areas. Habitat selection did not reflect this spatial variation in mortality risk, however, when crops were present on the landscape. Agricultural lands created an equal-preference trap. Cottontails did not accurately assess predation risk; they did not recognize that agricultural fields were risky. This mismatch could be due to cottontails' emphasis on protecting themselves from avian predators rather than from coyotes (Canis latrans), which currently are their main predator. Our novel study demonstrates how dynamic landscape context can create ecological traps. Such unexpected outcomes can reduce the conservation benefits of restoration programs.

Are you wondering if the builder of that house or development you just moved into is going to declare bankruptcy or otherwise disappear before you finish painting your new kitchen?
I'm still waiting on some calls back from a few experts for more information, but here is what has been recommended to me so far (not all of the following will apply to your specific situation, so use your judgment):
1) Don't assume the worst, at least not at first, but do your research, soon. And, as with any research, keep good notes on when, where, what, who, every step of the way:
2) Contact the developer, builder, or contractor directly and ask questions.
3) If you don't have a contact number, visit the Oregon Secretary of State, Corporation Division and search their databases, or
4) Contact the Oregon Construction Contractor Board (CCB), or
5) Contact the Oregon Division of Finance and Corporate Securities (DFCS).
6) Review Oregon Bankruptcy Court webpages for notices and databases about bankruptcy filings.
7) Contact the Oregon Attorney General's office, including their consumer webpages.
8) Check local building permits, usually at the city's or county's government offices (e.g. in Washington County, you would go here)
9) News stories: Newspaper sites often have only recent stories on their web pages. Looking for, older, archived stories may require you to search a newspaper database. (Note about finding old news stories: Many news sources do not maintain free archives of back issues. Most public libraries, however, have newspaper databases that can be searched free of charge, often remotely (i.e. from any computer, with your library card).)
10) At some point, you may also want or have to hire a lawyer: How to Find a Lawyer in Oregon

NAIROBI, Kenya, December 8, 2014/African Press Organization (APO)/ — ReVision project is also looking into areas such as assistance and support to the defence, field operations and field presence, outreach, state co-operation and external relations, information management, and internal communication.
The Registrar of the International Criminal Court, Herman Von Hebel spoke to Rosemary Tollo about proposed change for the better.
Logo: http://www.photos.apo-opa.com/plog-content/images/apo/logos/eastafrican.png
Q: You are undertaking a major reorganisation of the ICC Registry. Explain the need for change.
A: Change is desperately needed in order to make a more effective and efficient Registry, especially in dealing with victims.
Over the past 12 years of the court's existence, we have learned many lessons and we need to ask ourselves whether the current organisational design, policies and practices of the Registry meet the needs of those that we serve.
And the feedback from Registry staff, clients and partners indicates that things could be organised in a better way. There is just too much fragmentation and overlaps in some areas while we need to reinforce the Registry's operations in others.
One of the main things we are looking at is the assistance and support to victims and their representatives. Victims are often confused and frustrated by the numerous actors from different parts of the court who contact them or seek to represent them — VPRS, OPCV, CSS, PIDS (Outreach), TFV.
Even as ICC Registrar, I am sometimes completely lost as to who does what, when and where. How can we then expect the victims to understand this complex system? Clearly, we must create a more coherent, consolidated and effective structure to support victims and facilitate their legal representation.
The ReVision project is also looking into areas such as assistance and support to the defence, field operations and field presence, outreach, state co-operation and external relations, information management, and internal communication. The goal is to make the Registry more dynamic, effective and efficient in order to service our clients to the best of our ability.
Q: How will the changes you are contemplating affect the victims?
A: The changes will strengthen the support that the Registry provides to victims and provide a better support structure for their participation in the proceedings.
As a first step, I am proposing to consolidate functions performed in several Registry offices into a Victims Office. There are just too many different parts of the court that often work independently in their contact with the victims.
This has to change, and we have received support from a number of parties, including common legal representatives who have direct substantive experience in representing victims before the court. Victims are confused and frustrated with the multiple actors. We need to organise these actors. A single Victims Office is the best way to achieve that.
This office will handle the entire victim participation — from the collection of applications to the provision of information and updates on the cases in the field to the actual representation in court.
There will be a pool of independent lawyers within the office available for assignment to groups of victims at all times, much like a Public Defender's Office.
There will also be a second counsel assigned to every case for the duration of that case. That counsel would typically be based in the situation country to ensure closer ties and communication with the victims but will be an integral part of the team.
We also foresee a reinforcement of our field offices, which will play a central role in the provision of assistance and support to victims and their legal representatives.
We are addressing reorganisation from a number of important angles. I am convinced that this system, if adopted, would enable a more robust and better support structure for the participation of victims.
Q: Concerns are being raised about the proposed changes, including the possibility that they could leave defendants and victims insufficiently represented given the budget cuts. Are the concerns valid?
A: The proposal to establish a single Victims Office is not intended to save money.
Indeed, victims are the primary beneficiary of the proposed changes. The consolidation of functions will simply enable us to pool existing resources in support of victims, thereby rendering their participation in proceedings more effective and meaningful.
It is my responsibility to ensure the Registry supports victim participation, as well as the defence and other functions, in the best possible way.
If we do not create such an office, the problems being created now will only accumulate and make this an even more pressing issue.
Q: What can be done to increase field autonomy for the common legal representatives, given the budget cuts challenges? For instance, a legal representative's complaints point to micromanagement by the Registry.
A: The structure that I am proposing will address this.
The perception of micromanagement is due to the fact that common legal representatives are often assigned under the court's legal aid scheme. This means all their fees and expenses are vetted by the Registry to ensure that they are reasonable and necessary, including the approval of field missions and other activities. This is rather frustrating to counsel.
Counsel would become more independent operationally as they would no longer be remunerated under the legal aid scheme, which requires an hourly accounting of work. The pool of in-house counsel, functioning as a Public Defender's Office, will be joined by "external" counsel for each new case.
The external counsel would be retained either as a temporary staff member or a consultant for the duration of the case. That way, counsel's remuneration would not depend on the approval by the Registry of counsel's activities. Counsel would be fully independent and their performance subject only to the Code of Professional Conduct.
All the support that counsel requires in the performance of their representation duties will be available within the Registry. There will be a coherent support structure — including legal assistants, case managers, field assistants and other support staff — who will be at the disposal of counsel, including field staff to support counsel's activities on the ground.
Q: When will the proposed changes come into effect and what effect are they likely to have on the ongoing cases?
A: We have started implementing some of the structural changes. However, the changes in the areas of victims and defence, in particular the creation of a Victims Office and a Defence Office, require an amendment of the Regulations of the Court and, therefore, the approval of the court's judges. This, inevitably, takes some time.
I have already briefed the judges on the proposals and I am preparing a proposal for amendments to the regulations of the court.
Q: How does the Registry respond to the political onslaught against the Kenyan cases that might affect the victims?
A: The ICC is a court of law and cannot get involved in politics.

Perchance you are a spirit then, what glorious happenstance that you should visit me, how sublimely metaphysical!
The House is an adult fairy tale, time travel romance mystery.
Clad only in a torn night dress, a woman finds herself, late one afternoon, in an ancient forest. How she arrived there remains a mystery, both to her and the reader. Finally a frightful looking house arrives in view. Night is moving in and faced with the prospect of remaining in a wood, where only wolves and predators revel, she reluctantly seeks refuge in this unwelcoming house.
Once inside, and taken aback by a most unexpected interior, she soon discovers a room where a magic portal laying in wait transports her to a Georgian estate. Here, a baleful altercation with a beastly drunkard Lord of the estate (archetype to the evil wolf in traditional tales) sets the tone for the narrative. Unable to find an escape route, she remains confined in this somber historical setting for many months, interacting with a curiously dysfunctional household.
Finally she finds her way back to the enigmatic house from which a journey to Regency London follows, where she meets with an interesting cast of individuals. Although it soon emerges that there is a relationship between the characters from both periods, the mystery surrounding her presence continues to confound all.
One foggy eve, a down cast man arrives and is introduced to the time traveller. When their eyes meet, an inexplicable sense of familiarity is felt by both. Returning home after a large stretch in Florence, the poet is instantly taken with this mysterious beauty, a meeting that promises restoration for the heart broken man.
Frustratingly however, there are obstacles hindering this unusual love match. Soon a past life connection emerges. And by the last pages, many pieces of the puzzle form a startling picture. Upon the final curtain, the biggest surprise of all is revealed. With a conclusion, that, although bizarre is positive, like all good fairy tales.

According to current medical classification of fungal diseases are, therefore, been placed in this section, to be able to easily find material on them, because 100% of the population diagnosed as a fungal disease.
In our world, biologists distinguish the two antagonistic, still struggling, the worlds. On the one hand the world of fungi, bacteria and on the other world. Where better to zadamawiają bacteria is becoming less of fungi, and vice versa - a place inhabited by fungi are deprived of their bacteria.

Long ago, Louis Pasteur won with his idea that human health is going bad by the bacterium, hence we started pasteurize their diet to get rid of zwłowrogich bacteria. And what about mushrooms? - Yet they do not get rid of, or even inversely - we use no antibiotics produced by bacteria to kill - in this way is upset the natural balance of human organisms, which live together bacteria and fungi.
Is overgrowth of bacteria is a disease? - Obviously too large number of bacteria in one place is not good for the body and can cause inflammation, but these states do not formally be called a disease.
On the other hand we have the overgrowth of fungi, which, as we treat fungal infections and diseases are called - are you sure we should do so?
Any excess of bacteria in inflammatory titanium postacis fighting against antibiotics, which increase the advantage in the body of fungi, as well as milk pasteurise increaseth chances of mushrooms, cabbage kisimy vinegar without the multiplication of antagonistic bacteria, which in turn increases the advantage of mushrooms - and nei time to end it all and to support bacteria so that equilibrium prevailed?
Is not it time to go back to unpasteurized milk, unpasteurized beer, homemade sauerkraut, or have no time to reject the artificial antibiotics, since it is so widely they stuffed all the food we offered? Does anyone still remember our wise grandmothers, who in inflammatory give out balls of bread and pajeńczyn, which is a fungus with antibiotics?
