Epping Church Choirs Association (ECCA) was formed in 1972 and the original choir was drawn from members and friends of the four main churches in Epping. It remains an ecumenical choir but welcomes singers from all backgrounds. We hold four concerts each year – a main winter concert at the end of January, a Good Friday devotion, a summer concert in July and 'Reflections', a concert for Christmas. We also take part in one or two ecumenical services each year. The choir currently has around 40 members and sings a wide variety of music, both sacred and secular. Repertoire includes Requiems by Fauré, Mozart, Rutter, Saint-Saens and Bob Chilcott as well as works by Karl Jenkins (The Armed Man and Stabat Mater), Haydn, Mendelssohn (Elijah) and Rossini (Petite Messe Solennelle).
ECCA practises on Friday evenings in the Roman Catholic Church Hall in Epping. We are a friendly group and would welcome singers in all voice parts, preferably who have some previous experience of choral singing. There are no formal auditions but the Musical Director, Simon Winters, may wish to give a small voice test.

The figures make great models for illustration or a base for a customized figure. An articulated Figma stand is included with each Archetype Next figure.
The Figma Archetype Next: He stands approximately 5.5 inches tall, with the Figma Archetype Next: She standing slightly shorter at almost 5.4 inches tall. Both figures and their respective color variants are priced ¥2,963 each–about $26–and are due for release in Oct.

The Divine Order
Winner of the Audience Award for Best Narrative Film at the Tribeca Film Festival, The Divine Order is set in Switzerland in 1971 where, despite the worldwide social upheavals of the previous decade, women were still denied the right to vote. When unassuming and dutiful housewife Nora (Marie Leuenberger, winner of a Best Actress award at Tribeca) is forbidden by her husband to take a part-time job, her frustration leads to her becoming the poster child of her town's suffragette movement. Her newfound celebrity brings humiliation, threats, and the potential end to her marriage, but, refusing to back down, she convinces the women in her village to go on strike…and makes a few startling discoveries about her own liberation. Uplifting and crowd-pleasing, this charming, captivating film is a time capsule that could not be more timely.

Gods Own Country
Johnny Saxby (Josh O'Connor) works long hours on his family's remote farm in the north of England. He numbs the daily frustration of his lonely existence with nightly binge-drinking at the local pub and casual sex. But when a handsome Romanian migrant worker (Alec Secareanu) arrives to take up temporary work on the family farm, Johnny suddenly finds himself having to deal with emotions he has never felt before. As they begin working closely together during lambing season, an intense relationship starts to form which could change Johnny's life forever. Captivating and broodingly beautiful, God's Own Country is the award winning debut feature from writer/director Francis Lee. Bracingly open hearted, this is a thrillingly romantic story set in the heart of rural Yorkshire. Both poignant and moving, this finely crafted British film features a host of standout performances, making it as an absolute must see.

As the family becomes desperate for food, Parvana cuts off her hair and disguises herself as a boy so that she can venture out in public and become the breadwinner for her family. As war encroaches on Kabul and with all the resolve she has left, Parvana treks to the prison and, with the help of a sympathetic Talib guard, works to free her father once and for all.

Sporty Bump is a pioneering range of sportswear designed specifically for pregnant women and those trying to regain their pre-pregnancy figures. The inexpensive collection launched last year and already has a celebrity following, including Hotel Babylon's Tamzin Outhwaite and Strictly Come Dancing winner, Jill Halfpenny.

Actress Jill Halfpenny, who danced her way back to a size 10 and went on to win the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas Special after giving birth last year, also fell in love with the brand: "Sporty Bump is stylish and practical and is the perfect workout gear for me to stay fit and healthy both during and after my pregnancy."
Sporty Bump's popular four-piece 'basics' capsule collection consists of: On The Bump Shorts, Under The Bump Capri Trousers, Cross-over Top and a Racer Back Vest. All items are available in chic classic black and in four accommodating sizes (small through to extra large). Designed with price in mind, the pieces range from just £15 to £20 and the entire capsule collection costs just £71 (delivery is free when spending over £50).
The range has been created for mums-to-be who want to continue with exercise and sports during pregnancy, as well as those who are getting back in shape after the birth. Whether it's training at the gym, cycling, walking, running, Yoga classes, using home-workout DVDs or simply relaxing – the clothes have been designed to move with the wearer as they exercise and grow.
Sporty Bump clothing is available to buy online at www.sportybump.co.uk.

Oral Hygiene – Preventative Care
Poor oral hygiene is likely to lead to gum disease, or Gingivitis, which can cause Periodontitis if left untreated. Periodontitis involves an inflammation of the gums and potential bone loss, and if not treated can also lead to tooth loss.
Inadequate oral health can also affect your overall health as bacteria from the gums can enter the blood stream and travel to major organs, starting new infections.
Cleaning teeth correctly can help to remove bacterial plaque. This can be done by maintaining a thorough oral hygiene routine which includes:
- Brushing twice a day
- Flossing daily
- Regular preventative care/active maintenance appointments with a hygienist, who can perform a professional clean helping to remove bacteria under the gums. A professional clean will also remove the hard buildup of plaque that even regular cleaning cannot remove.

A fun run which raises funds for cystic fibrosis sufferers is being held this weekend.
Inspired by 15-year-old cystic fibrosis sufferer Amelia Dickinson, of Whalley, The Amelia Cup will be held on Sunday in the Clitheroe Castle grounds.
The event is being supported by the running club, Running4CF.
One of the organisers is Amelia's aunt Gail Bailey. She said: "We're asking people to meet on the castle field at 9-30am on Sunday. The first run will start at 10-30am approximately. It would be great for as many people as possible to turn up and support the event."
Family friendly, with something for everyone, the event, will offer several runs so that all abilities can take part. There will be The Amelia Cup run which will be presented to the fastest male and fastest female, a mile long "yellow" run where participants are invited to wear something yellow to raise awareness of cystic fibrosis with a prize for the most imaginative, a mile run for those under 10 years old, and finally a space hopper relay race, for teams of four people, across the castle field. People can enter more than one of the events. There is a minimum entry price of £10 (£25 for a family) or people can raise sponsorship. For more details and to enter e-mail Gail on gail firstname.lastname@example.com

This book might be the most disappointing thing I read in 2012. I wanted this book for so long but it simply fell flat for me! The concept of this story sounds absolutely amazing. This take on Pegasus lore was really interesting and it seemed like it was going to be a great read. Even though it was disappointing I still really like the idea and there is a lot of great points in this book.
I think the major problem with this book is that it is simply too slow. The world building is great, but all of this was overshadowed for me because the plot took forever to develop ( if there even really is one for this novel).
Obviously, this book is going to be a series because it just ends. I felt like nothing really happened in the book and it seemed like it was all set up for the next one. Honestly a few times I wondered why I continued to read this book... Even so the relationships between Sylvi and Ebon is very interesting and their adventures are fun to read. It is everything else that gets in the way.
I wanted to love it, but it disappointed me. The book ends with no resolution or hint of a resolution. I'm not sure how I feel about reading the next one because it was like pulling teeth to make myself get through this one, but if the pacing was better I think the story would be much better.

Nevertheless, ComfortDelGro's actions and measures in direction of challenge of diesel tax and further competition are very important. Topping the vary is the 208-hp John Cooper Works Paceman, which is barely provided with all-wheel drive.

This massive situation also ranges beyond the depths of Ford. Many firms rent as cheaply as attainable, simply to maximise earnings. Certain, at face worth this seems to have little affect on the stability and quality of the company and its merchandise, but in the lengthy-term poor therapy of workers is in the end detrimental to the health of the company.
I do know all manufactures (domestic anyway) offer rebates, some greater than others, however FCA has to throw MASSIVE amounts of money on the hood to move their products- which exhibits that their products cannot stand on their very own advantage with out big incentives.

Dentures, or "false teeth", can be used as a replacement for just one missing tooth to a replacement for a full arch of teeth.
Full Dentures
Full dentures are used to replace a full arch of teeth. These comprise a base made of a hard plastic called acrylic which hold the replacement teeth. The replacement teeth are usually also made of acrylic but in some cases porcelain teeth are used.
Partial Dentures
Partial dentures are used where some teeth remain. Partial dentures have their base made in a metal called 'chrome cobalt' . This allows for a very precise fit between the denture and the teeth that support and retain it. Like in a full denture, the teeth can be either acrylic or porcelain. The teeth are attached to the Chrome Cobalt base with pink acrylic.
Immediate Dentures
Immediate dentures are a slight variation on the theme. In most cases, the process of producing dentures begins after the teeth have been extracted. In some cases, the patient has hopeless teeth that have to be extracted but doing so prior to making the dentures would mean they would have to spend some time with neither teeth nor the denture. To avoid this, special techniques are used to construct the denture in advance, and the denture is fitted at the same appointment as the teeth are extracted.
Unfortunately, this process does not allow for the construction of as well fitting dentures as would be possible if the impressions were taken a while after the teeth were extracted, and relining the fitting surface of the denture is usually required within a few months.
Implant-supported dentures
Implant-supported dentures are a significant improvement that we are now able to offer our patients. Implants can be used to support and retain partial or full dentures. Their greatest benefit is in stabilising lower full dentures.
Relining of denture fitting surfaces can help to keep dentures as comfortable and functional as possible. From the moment a tooth is extracted the bone that was supporting the tooth starts to resorb. Initially, the loss of bone is usually very rapid and slows down with the passing months and years. While it slows down, the loss of bone never stops. As the bone 'shrinks' the dentures become increasingly loose. Relines can help to extend the life of dentures before new ones need to be made.
Care of Dentures
Care of dentures is very important. "Cleanliness is next to Godliness", as the saying goes. Dentures should be cleaned at least twice per day. Place some water in the basin (to help cushion the blow if you drop the denture) and then use a toothbrush and some soap to thoroughly scrub the denture. About once a week or fortnight, it is beneficial to soak the dentures overnight in a proprietary denture cleaner or even neat white vinegar.
NEVER try to adjust dentures yourself, especially bending the metal clasps of partial dentures. The metal is extremely strong but at the same time very brittle, and clasps are easily broken if bent.
If a tooth should ever break off your denture or the denture base itself break, please try to avoid using superglue to repair the denture. The repair will fail in a matter of hours and the glue on the denture makes repairing a lot more difficult for the dentist.

North Queensland ready for schoolies
North Queensland is ready for the influx of celebratory school leavers with increased police and safety measures.
- Print page

- Permalink
Schoolies celebrations in north Queensland typically centre on Magnetic Island and Airlie Beach with up to 3000 student revellers expected in the Whitsundays.
Airlie Beach Schoolies coordinator Nicole Graham says many students prefer the Whitsundays to larger parties on the Gold Coast as it is less crowded.
"It is a quiet schoolies, it is a safe schoolies."
"There is a fenced-in area and you can only get in there if you have your photographic ID and we have security in place that actually check that, it is fully fenced and it is a safe environment," she said.
Ms Graham says Airlie Beach accommodation providers won't be locking balconies as one Surfers Paradise resort is doing but safety measures are in place.
"All our activities are drug and alcohol free there is not one activity within schoolies that encourages drinking at all... but at the end of the day if they are a little tipsy, we'd rather have them at Schoolies Central so we can keep an eye on them rather than out on the streets," she said.
Townsville police say they will increase their presence on Magnetic Island and in the Flinders Street nightclub district to keep schoolies safe.
Inspector Glenn Doyle says random breath tests will be conducted between the Whitsundays and Townsville.
"A lot of the kids from Townsville do travel down to Airlie Beach so we'll have police on the highway conducting RBTs and random traffic stops just to make sure they're safe on the highways."

Welcome to the first-ever critical casebook on Marjane Satrapi's graphic memoir, Persepolis. This casebook was crafted by Millikin University students enrolled in Dr. Tony R. Magagna's English 202: Writing About Literature course during the Fall 2010 semester. Since its original publication in French, and its subsequent translation into English, Persepolis has enjoyed a great deal of popular and critical acclaim, and the award-winning 2007 animated film adaptation (also directed by Marjane Satrapi) has only amplified the work's popularity. However, with the exception of a handful of studies, there has yet been relatively little published literary scholarship dedicated to Satrapi's work. Thus, the students whose work is collected here have put together this casebook as an effort both to build the scholarly conversation on Persepolis, as well as to showcase their own original critical contributions to the field of literary scholarship. By exploring this website, we hope that you will learn more about this incredible graphic memoir and the varied perspectives and themes that it confronts.
In addition to the in-depth academic analyses presented here, you will find background information that we feel is useful to understanding and appreciating Satrapi's work. This includes: biographical information on Satrapi herself; a brief history of contemporary Iran; contextual annotations on many of the key ideas and figures mentioned across the breadth of Persepolis; a look at some of the key characters that populate the book; and a collection of links to useful resources elsewhere on the internet, including interviews, reviews, and media clips.
All of the information and scholarship presented in this casebook has been selected and generated by the English 202 students themselves. The website itself was designed and published in collaboration with a team of student web designers from Millikin's Fall 2010 Web Publishing course, led by Dr. Devon Fitzgerald. The web design team included Taylor Cheney, Sarah Wika, Sara Bodzin, Kristin Hansen, Lisa Dotson, Brittney Brown, Christine Radi, Jen Stout, Cheryl Pearson, Kara Heiser, Lauren Mudge, Mike Ammons and Peter Trifomiuk with assistance from Ryan Ho, technical tutor.
Persepolis: A Casebook joins three other casebooks produced by students in Millikin University's English department. Dr. Magagna's Fall 2009 students focused on Junot Díaz's novel The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao, while previous classes examined Toni Morrison's Beloved and Margaret Atwood's Oryx and Crake.

Blasts rock arms depot in Central Russia
Projectile missiles were stored at the warehouse, and the fire set off a chain of explosions, with shells landing as far as 4 km away. The area was cordoned off and the roads were closed to traffic. Aircraft and military fire fighting equipment were deployed at the scene.
More than 100 people from nearby villages were forced to flee the area. At least two people have been injured.
Authorities say the fire has now been contained and they expect it to be completely extinguished shortly.
Russian military officials confirmed that there were no weapons of mass destruction – whether nuclear, chemical or biological – at the depot, Itar-Tass news agency reports.

If you know me in real life, you have probably heard my talking about the movie "It" and all of it's fantasticalness. I am a FAN. Saw the movie three times (yes, I realize that is ridiculous, and no, I do not need an intervention, or an exorcism); I even bought a Loser's Club pin from this cute little Etsy shop, and have already researched when the Losers Club Funko characters will be released (TBD- however, they have released Pennywise) and have been reading all the information of when the next installment will be released. I'm hooked.
Originally, I had the goal of finishing the Stephen King's
12,000 1,100 page book before the movie released last month, but being that I had had about 6,000 500 pages left in the novel, that obviously did not happen. So, without having finished the book, my husband and I, along with our good friend, packed into my car, loaded my bag up with snacks, and prepared ourselves for Pennywise.
Now, I was prepared for a scary movie (if you don't know, 'IT' is about a killer clown named Pennywise, who kills children. He feeds on fear, and torments a town called Derry, every 27 years.) And while it is definitely scary, I was pleasantly surprised to find that 'IT' was actually a great movie: fantastic acting, lots of humor, and characters you actually want to root for. I laughed, cried, said many choice words, and left feeling oddly hopeful about the world, which is a weird thing to say after a horror movie.
'IT' focuses on fear, and how fear can and does transform a person. Each character has their own relationship with fear, and Pennywise feeds off that fear. Each character sees Pennywise, but they also see IT, the thing Pennywise represents: a leper for the one who fears any and all illnesses, convinced death is right around every corner; the fear of the worst nightmare coming to life for the one who struggles to believe; a lost little kid for the one who fears the worst has happened to his brother, etc. Each character battles internally and externally with their fears.
The only thing they have in common? Each other.
The thing I love most about 'IT' is the fact that these kids stick through everything together: they battle a killer clown together; clean a blood soaked bathroom that no one else could see, comfort each other as they face their fears. No judgments, no doubt., no criticism. They argue, sure, but they don't give up on each other. Each kid, while dealing with their own mess, chooses friendship over fear. Connection over going it alone. Faith over scepticism. They choose to rely on each other, to stick together.
I loved everything about this movie. The soundtrack, the actors, the message, the setting, everything. If you haven't seen IT, you should. Don't be fooled though: It's scary. Definitely not for everyone (especially if kind of gruesome things happening to children bothers you. The opening scene is pretty terrible) so please be warned.
Happy floating!

Let Go and Let Flow, the greatest myth of all time.
Its easy to say let go and let flow but its actually difficult to let go not to mention let flow. Regardless of how difficult it appears,it's an integral part of life.
It's absolutely impossible to pour new wine in old wine skins. You can't absolutely expect a great future when you are stuck in an invisible time machine.
You can't expect to enjoy your relationship with Mercy when you are yet to get over Latasha's treatment of you.
How can you give your best at this new job when you have not forgiven your old boss for owing you salary?
I know its hard,but can you just try to move on?
As hard as it is for me to share this with you,i hope you learn from it.
I have always been a big gurl.
Although there's been some kind of up and down movement on the weight graph, more often than not it's up.
Some years ago I went on an extreme fruit diet and went down to size 13.I was just in between 12 and 14. To maintain my newly found physique, I'd jog every morning and go for long walks every evening. This meant that, rather than take a bike home in the evening, I'd just walk to my house, drenched in sweat.
As long as I engaged in this physical activities, all things were equal.
Sometime last year, two major things happened in my life.I moved to an estate and got accepted to hustle for a postgraduate degree.
Rather than go home after work every day, I have to go to school.
By the time the lecturer leaves by God knows what time pm, I'm so tired, all i can think about is my bed and a nice cold bath.
I also had to kiss my early morning run good bye because of the extreme "mind your business" nature of my new environment.
Me, i can't afford the risk of running on my own that early.
As a result of all these changes, the weight began to build up and pile up and suddenly here I am at full blown size 18, again.
And my clothes no longer fit.
I spend approximately 30 minutes every time I need to step out, trying and retrying outfits.
Yet, anyone who sees the size of my closet and all the wears in it will wonder why my excuse to outing invitations is "I've got nothing to wear".
After the dress-up drama this morning, I decided to do some auditing.
At this moment i just need to let go of the baggage and then settle down and decide how to go about this situation.
I will sort out the who gets what part, much later.
First things First!
We human beings generally find it difficult to let go and move on.
Why HOLD ON to these HURTS?
Why HOLD ON to those feelings of GUILT?
Why HOLD ON to PAIN, to EMOTIONAL BAGGAGE?
Why HOLD ON to past ACCOMPLISHMENTS, at the expense of new ones?
Why would you rather bear heavy burdens of bitterness than forgive?
Why do you keep looking back at certain mistakes and according them power to define you negatively?
Why do you keep looking back when you should be making giant strides?
Why keep …
The list is endless.
These things keep us from forging ahead and breaking new grounds, taking new cities, receiving inspiration, developing new businesses and doing Bigger things.
When are we going to learn to let go?
Dear fellow human being, It's time to LET GO and LET FLOW.
Do some spring cleaning.
Let the pain go so you can see new love interests,
Let the trauma go so you can be open to better opportunities.
Stop recreating the past at the expense of the future!
Mrs Lot is a perfect example of who looking back don epp.
I don't think you want to wear her shoes.
I might not know what you are going through, but i know life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.
Why live if you can't live fully?
Those burdens and weight will even kill you faster than any disease.
Its your choice to fight against this weight or not.
Choose Wisely!
I'd love to hear from you about letting go and letting flow. Please share your thoughts in the comment section.

I have a larger appetite for fantasy and science fiction than I can satisfy reading let alone reviewing. Sure that many of our readers are of a similar mind I will post, news or reviews [merely a link in most cases], that readers might send me concerning new and or unusual fantasy and science-fiction, in hopes of promoting some small press work.
the year before last, I stood and read the first six pages of the first volume of the Burton and Swineburn series by Mark Hodder at the local book store and was impressed.

Reverent Chandler: The Saga of Fend

Consider this; You decide to apply for a new job at another company, you're more than technically qualified and skilled to do the role but…. In the interview, you're asked many questions about the culture and direction the new company is going in… your technical competence gets you through the technical questions but then you start to falter with the new company questions and you eventually lose your confidence and decide it's better to stay where you are…
It's a similar situation when you start a new exercise class or regime, you know your body can do it, you've probably done it all before but the reality is that you're doing things a different way and you're not you're not as familiar with your surroundings as usual.
Chances are that unless you make a friend quickly then you may well just revert back to where you were – doing the same exercises with the same routine as before and not progressing – worse still your probably going to revert back to the diet you were on before and rather than make corrections to support challenges and growth you'll just make allowances for it not working any more.
We've all been there.
Sometimes it's the change of exercise and dietary plan you make that is the problem – one size definitely does not fit all and whatever you do from an exercise and diet perspective needs to suit you and not be painful or a chore.
At this point – we're not going to tell you that FreshFit is perfect and suits everyone…
What we think is losing our Mojo is actually just a symptom of many things, it can be a few or many things not working which can lead to a lack in motivation and from there a domino effect can take place… but unless you address the cause then it will be difficult to come back..
Things a little hectic?
We have to think about what's going on in our day to day lives, it's easy to get overworked with whatever is going on, if you think about all your day to day tasks and your "work load" it could be fair to say that our brains process more information and deal with more dramas than our social media feeds… now think about the same area of our brains having to then motivate us and ensure we train regularly and eat right… suddenly having to rely on our motivation or Mojo seems a little more like taking shots in the dark rather than actually having a strategy to train successfully and or eat well.
So… How do we do it?
Well you could ask yourself; "if my will power isn't enough to help me succeed then am I not destined to fail"?
There is no single answer to that, the beauty of the human race is that we're all individuals (hooray!!) but what can help you through is to document what you intend to do and when you intend to do it… almost make it a contract with yourself or a project plan.
It may sound like something you've heard before but it really works. If you make a written plan and put it somewhere prominent (we find the refrigerator door help) then it's that constant reminder that you need to make space in your day to perform your workout, and of course if you add to that a recipe which you know is healthy and you think may be fun then it makes things a little more interesting.
The point is that if you make a contract or commitment with yourself or someone else then it works – it's undeniably successful as a psychological strategy! Now add to that the FreshFit factor J(just for a moment please), we like to use our closed group on social media as a way of recording and congratulating our members on the work they put in to each workout, not only does this positive reinforcement enable their commitment to themselves but it also encourages those who weren't able to make their session that night and in turn helps them achieve their goals as well!
OK genius… how does all this work then?
The process of making the commitment work is quite simple and that's to keep it simple, and improve the clarity of what you're trying to achieve.
Make your contract to yourself – it could be to get fitter, faster, strong, leaner …. Whatever it is!
Break it down into a plan – small steps that combined will achieve the bigger picture.
You'll still have to bust a sweat to get there but the point is your cognitive load (the amount of information your brain has to deal with on a day to day basis) will be less because you've written it all down and all you need to do is follow your plan.
Once you have your plan in place and follow it you'll begin to create habits like turning up to a class on a Monday and Wednesday or going for a run on a Sunday evening, the bottom line is we love habits and we need to train ourselves to create them, once we have created them then we'll see the success unfold before us simply due to being around like minded and positive people and being constantly challenged by what the FreshFit Sessions Bosses throw at us…
Give your Mojo a break, it needs a hand every now and again so why not positively reinforce it…

Cuba pays tribute to late Venezuelan ambassador
Staff Reporter Windhoek-Cuban Ambassador to Namibia Giraldo Mazola has paid a glowing tribute to the late Venezuelan Ambassador to Namibia Juan Carlos Barrios, who recently died at a specialist oncology clinic in neighbouring South Africa, where the diplomat was admitted for treatment of a malignant tumor. A memorial service will be held in Windhoek today, where fellow diplomats and Namibian officials from the Ministry of International Relations and Cooperation are expected to pay tribute to the late Venezuelan ambassador, whose passing has left a big void in diplomatic circles. Mazola said the late diplomat represented the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela as plenipotentiary ambassador in Botswana, Zimbabwe and Namibia, where he had his permanent residence over the past six years. Mazola described the late Venezuelan - fondly known as JuanK in diplomatic circles - for his personal peculiarities, "his contagious sympathy, his simplicity, affability, his infinite love for his country". He said Ambassador Barrios was an ardent follower of the late liberator Simon Bolivar and the late revolutionary and Venezuelan leader Hugo Rafael Chavez Frias, who ruled that country from 1999 to 2013. Describing him as neat and extremely careful of his personal presence, he apparently had high respect for fellow humans, and knew that as a diplomat he carried a heavy responsibility. Mazola said the fallen diplomat also had the courage to vigorously campaign against the permanent censure exacted by the American government against the Bolivarian Revolution in a move intended to have a share of that country's oil. Mazola commended the late Barrios for having worked tirelessly to expand diplomatic relations and ties between Latin America and Africa and on this score Mazola noted that the late ambassador had a passion to promote the teaching of the Spanish language to Namibians on the premises of his mission. "Son of a mestizo of half-caste people, he was aware of our debt to the African continent whose enslaved child forged with their sweat and blood the riches and independence that we enjoy today in Venezuela, Cuba and in many other countries of our region," Mazola reminisced.

AidCoin Rating Review
|Start ICO
|16 Jan 2018
|End ICO
|01 Feb 2018
We assign the AidCoin project a "Positive" rating. AID tokens could be of interest to future platform users as well as to medium and long-term investors.
AidCoin enters a dynamically developing market and a positive growth trend will remain with the introduction of blockchain technology. This, in turn, will contribute to the development of the project.
AidCoin has a strong team which has extensive experience in the profile related to its main direction. In addition, we note that the project is more transparent than average in the ICO market, which could also be evidence for a high level of professionalism in management for investors.
A strong demand for AID Tokens during the pre-sale and the achievement of the hard cap three days before the end of preliminary sales confirms the high interest of investors in the project.
CharityStars has conceived and developed AidCoin and will leverage its network of charities, donors, celebrities and events to increase adoption of the AIDChain platform. Moreover, to create immediate demand for the AID token, CharityStars will be the first to register on the AIDChain platform and accept AidCoin, incentivizing its community to use the token.
We have not identified any serious risks for the project; however, before taking part in the ICO, investors still need to consider:
- The growing competition. The presence of charitable organizations that have already implemented blockchain technology on their platforms and have positive experience in the market will increase competition in this segment and stimulate the transition of major players to blockchain.
- A possible market overhang of tokens in the medium term due to market implementation of tokens for team and sponsor remuneration, a reserve for future expenses and AidPool. (A portion of the tokens will be held as a reserve for an exchange service and monetary policy.)
We believe that over time that donating via the Aidchain platform will become established worldwide due to advantages in transparency, smart contracts, reduction of transaction fees, user-friendly updates and communication opportunities between sponsors and charitable companies.
Project information and the ICO
CharityStars is an online fundraising platform. The company is developing AIDChain, a platform based on the Ethereum blockchain and powered by AidCoin. This will provide the following benefits both to backers making charitable contributions and to the company itself:
- Reduction of overhead costs.
- Accessibility and ease of platform use for participants not familiar with the cryptocurrency market.
- Consistency, security and transparency of all information from backer to recipient.
- Free platform registration and identity verification for charitable organisations.
- Legality of the provision of platform services (all data related to donation are displayed in receipts).
- Ability to receive tax deductions from charitable organizations.

Project services and their usage
AIDChain is a platform that provides an ecosystem of services through an easy-to-use interface, connecting the non-profit community while allowing full transparency and traceability of donations.
The platform has a simple and intuitive user interface, available in the future both via the website and mobile applications. The goal of AidCoin is to provide a tool accessible to everyone especially for people who are not familiar with blockchain or do not have the necessary technical skills.
AIDChain's services include:
- Transparent transactions: due to the Ethereum blockchain, the combination of AidCoin and AIDChain will provide transparency in the non-profit sector, allowing people to track their donations.
- AIDChain tracks donations even after the token is converted to Fiat. In accordance with PSD2 law, European banks will have to use a public API from January 2018 until the end of the year. AidCoin will work with companies such as TrueLayer to connect to bank data, verify accounts and access transactions in real time.
- Account and identity management: Registered and verified charities will be able to create an organization account, providing some information to backers (general information, official address, donations received). This process of KYC identification will be critical for a tax deduction service for those who donate with AidCoin. AIDChain will be able to ensure that the address corresponds to an officially registered charity.
- Communications management: via the AIDChain platform, non-profit organizations will be able to send personal reports and automated emails to backers without the cost of creating and maintaining their own platform.
- Convert and donate: Users will be able to utilize an internal exchange to convert major cryptocurrencies into AidCoin and a built-in wallet to easily manage and store them, without leaving the platform.
Additionally AIDPay is a payment gateway/embeddable widget that allows charities registered on the AidChain platform to accept donations in different cryptocurrencies directly on their websites, which are then instantly converted into AidCoin. This is to allow charities to simply manage all donations received within a single wallet while providing transparency and traceability through AidCoin.
Engineering features of the project
Development on GitHub is proceeding in open source mode; one repository is available.
AidCoin is a cryptographic token developed according to the ERC20 standard which enables donations to be made to charitable funds and easy tracking of donations on the AIDChain platform.
AID Tokens can be donated to charitable organizations that accept them or can be used to donate transparently through the Ethereum blockchain and to access the ecosystem of services provided by the AIDChain platform. Moreover, they will be accepted as a medium of payment on CharityStars to access charity auctions.
Each month the company offers participation in hundreds of auctions, from meetings with celebrities to sports memorabilia; from fine art to exclusive travel.
After the ICO, AID Tokens will be exchangeable for other cryptocurrencies via trading platforms.
Charitable organizations must register and be tested on the AIDChain platform to track AidCoin donations and benefit from specific economic incentives.
AIDChain will show all donation-related data tied to blockchain, providing a receipt for each donation which, if necessary, can be presented as evidence. Each receipt contains the amount of the donation, the time stamp, the address and the name of the backer (if they are public), the address of the recipient and his name.
AidChain will be able to share information with APIs of the charitable bank for free and provide a view of the way the charity spends the funds received.
If the charity bank is not yet equipped with an open API, AIDChain provides services for manual data entry outside the chain to the Ethereum blockchain: any type of document and owner ID can be downloaded. For example, if a charity claims that money will be used for medicine, the organization will be asked to download receipts for ontime delivery and everything will be recorded in the chain.
Thus, the information recorded in blockchain automatically or manually will be unchanged, protected from forgery and publicly available (public audit is also available), increasing the level of transparency.
A built-in wallet will be developed directly on the AIDChain platform.
Market review
The charity market is growing from year to year worldwide. In 2016, the market grew by 4% compared to 2015; contributions to all major market sectors rose for the sixth time in four decades. This indicates a steady philanthropy for various market segments (such as religion, education, health, art, etc.).
Americans alone donated $390.05 bln for charitable purposes in the United States in 2016[1].
The growth of charity was caused mainly by individuals which increased by 4% by the end of 2016 (compared to 2015).
A special role in decisions on charity is affected by the economic and financial conditions of sponsors (such indicators as level of well-being, personal consumption, the S&P500 index).
In 2016 the largest sources of charitable aid were as follows:
- Individuals - $281.86, bln, 72%;
- Charitable funds $58.28, bln 15%;
- Bequest property $30.36, bln 8%;
- Corporations $18.55 bln, 5%.
The graph[1] shows the growth rate of the charity market over 30 years. It is not difficult to calculate that if this growth rate continues, the market will grow by a third and reach $500 bln in ten years.
Confidence in the market.
The main problems for charitable organizations are corruption and leakage of funds which lead to the loss of approximately 30% of funds, said UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon[2].
Public trust in charitable organizations has fallen to the lowest recorded level in history[3] due to a lack of confidence in how charitable organizations spend donations as well as a lack of sufficient public awareness of where their donations go. Perception of aggressive fund-raising tactics also contributed to a decrease in trust (phone calls, street fundraising). The findings of the Charity Commission for England and Wales study show that changes are needed to restore public confidence. These results are a call to action for all who value public trust in charitable organizations.
The public wants charitable organizations to better explain how they manage and spend their money. They want to see honest and ethical fundraising, and they want to know what charities are donating to.
Blockchain is a suitable architecture for charities, aimed at ensuring transparency and accountability.
Organizations such as Save the Children, American Red Cross, the United Way, Greenpeace and the Wikimedia Foundation started accepting Bitcoin in 2013-2014.
AidCoin enters a dynamically developing market and a positive growth trend will remain with the introduction of blockchain technology. This, in turn, will contribute to the development of the project.

Competitive features of the project
Given that blockchain technology is only starting to gain popularity in this market, this project does not have any direct competitors. In relation to competition the founders' point of view is as follows: " We see charities, foundations and non-profit organisations as users of the AIDChain platform and AidCoin, not competitors." However, in our opinion in the near future most major foundations and charity organizations will start to use this technology. Probably they will develop their own platforms, and we believe that for small organizations implementation of this technology may be too costly so in fact they might actually become AIDChain platform users in the near future.
This is why in this review we give a brief description of the major funds which in future might become AidCoin competitors.
There are many charitable organizations and funds in the world. According to Wikipedia, the list of the largest ones at the time of writing the review included 37. Let us consider some of them:
- The first place in the list is occupied by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, an American foundation created in 1994 by Bill Gates and his wife. The foundation is headquartered in various parts of the world and provides assistance in various sectors. The fund has a wide reputation and a large number of subscribers on social networks and media which can be regarded as an indicator of trust.
Endowments = $40.3 bln.
- In second place is an independent charity fund from the UK - the Wellcome Trust, founded in 1936. According to its website, the fund supports more than 14,000 people in more than 70 countries, and plans to spend £5 bln in the next five years «helping thousands of curious, passionate people all over the world explore ideas in science, population health, medical innovation, the humanities and social sciences and public engagement.» The fund specializes in health, participates in the development of the vaccine against Ebola virus and finances the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute which is engaged in genome research.
Endowments = £20.9 bln ($27.1 bln.)
The above competitors are well-known funds. They have been operating for a long time and have already earned public trust. There are also funds that use blockchain technology in addition to currencies to ensure the transparency of accepted donations. For example, the Bitcoin For Charity website has a list of non-profit organizations that support payment in cryptocurrency (BTC). These are the organizations that might actually become users of this platform. Some of them are presented below:
- songsoflove.org is a national non-profit organization that creates free personalized original songs for children and adolescents who currently face serious medical, physical or emotional problems.
- Watsi is a non-profit organization that provides health insurance in Uganda to patients who cannot pay for care and treatment. You can donate for the treatment of any patient at the backer's option.
- Fidelitycharitable This oundation started accepting Bitcoin in 2010. During 2016, the fund managed to raise $7 mln in bitcoins[1].
- The BitGiveFoundation project describes itself as the first charity organization built on blockchain technology. This organization cooperates with the projects such as "The water Progect" and "Save the children". The project provided water to the girls school and the nearest village in West Kenya, ฿3.5 was raised.
Advantages of AidCoin:
- Magnitude - according to the White Paper, cooperation with 500+ charities, including Unicef, Save the Children and WWF, is currently under way.
- AIDChain is a platform where backers can track AidCoin donations and connect with the non-profit community. Charitable organizations under registration on the platform undergo a verification procedure.
- AIDPay is payment gateway processor for all donations made in cryptocurrency which allows conversion of BTC, ETH and other altcoins into AidCoin.
- With the help of smart contracts, the collected funds will be used only if specified conditions and circumstances are met (for example, if less than 50% of the required funds are attracted, the smart contract will return donations to the backer).
While studying the competitive environment, as well as perspectives and trends in this market, we came to the conclusion that moving to blockchain will confer on AidCoin advantages that will, in turn, give the project the chance to attract a large number of users (small and medium charity organizations) to the platform. Therefore, this will help AidCoin take a share in the market.

Some of the risks typical for the crypto industry the team discuss in the white paper. Therefore, we will not focus on them. However, we note the risks inherent in almost every business at the stage of formation.
The project solves the problem of low trust in charitable non-profit organizations due to lack of transparency and accountability, via introduction of blockchain. This is a good idea which could bring the system of donations to a new level but will it be recognized by the audience? Innovations of such a global nature are always reflected in the clientele. Perhaps it will be a revolution in the field of charity and, maybe, such innovations will not get used at all. This risk cannot be ignored.
The lack of a beta version implies the risk that the platform may not start functioning at all. However, for maximum fairness in our evaluation of the project we draw investors' attention to the fact that the project is supported by companies and people with world names and has a strong team which has already assisted the success of the Pre-Sale.
We have not identified any other risks that could affect the viability and attractiveness of the platform.

We would like to note that the team consists of experienced managers, many of whom have been working together for several years. A strong team of technical specialists has been assembled. There are many people in the team who have long worked in the field of charity funding and who are engaged in fund-raising. However, the team lacks specialists in finance, as well as lawyers, having just one marketing manager who does not have much experience in the profile area.
Development strategy and the roadmap
CharityStars, having in its arsenal experience of 500 charitable partners, 40,000 registered bidders, $10 mln funds collected at charity auctions, offices in Milan, London and Los Angeles, operates in three different countries. It has successfully conducted a large number of charity auctions, and is purposefully and systematically expanding its activities, increasing trust in charity contributions. The company's activity is primarily aimed at information transparency in cooperation with charitable organizations regarding the destination of backers' funds.
The major milestones for platform development are described on the website:
The founders identify several key stages in project development:
- Motivate charitable organizations to accept AidCoin Tokens.
- Create various kinds of programs where there will be an opportunity to stimulate and encourage participation of their employees with tokens and cryptocurrency.
- Involve other platforms to raise funds, using AID Tokens.
- Make donation in AidCoin the preferred method worldwide due to convenience, security and transparency.
The launch of the first beta version is scheduled for Q1 2018. Currently, negotiations are underway to include AidCoin on one of the three largest exchanges. There is no additional information on the timing of AID's listing.
Thus, we note that the team has clear development plans as well as consistent implementation since August 2016. For this reason, we believe that the founders will continue to strive to adhere to the stated deadlines regarding all phases of project development.
Marketing strategy
CharityStars specializes in selling unique impressions (VIP tickets, suppers with celebrities and top company directors, etc.) and rare items (sports gear from players, memorabilia signed by musicians, handmade watches, unique works of art, etc.). Thus, charitable organizations receive an effective channel for attracting donations, and brands and celebrities have an additional PR company. Bidders can acquire unique items and impressions by making donations to charitable foundations.
CharityStars is already well known in circles of philanthropists. The team has collected more than $10 mln, working with more than 450 charities, including Unicef, Save the Children, Emergency and WWF. The company works with large corporations (for example, IWC, Mercedes, Ferrari, Armani, Versace, RedBull, Universal and many others) and celebrities (for example, Cristiano Ronaldo, Eva Longoria, Lewis Hamilton, Sharon Stone).
Approximately 80% of clients signed agreements on exclusivity, mainly by choosing CharityStars as their preferred platform for collecting.
The AidCoin project has received great marketing support[1]. Announcements and reviews in various publications can be easily found on the network. Obviously, the founders understand the role of marketing in the success of the ICO and in the further promotion of the project.
The team actively participates in various blockchain conferences worldwide. This functions as additional advertising aimed at attracting new sponsors.
It should be noted that the AidCoin project is advised by the Swiss company BitcoinSuisse, specializing in crypto assets, which has already successfully conducted more than 20 ICOs, collecting more than $500 mln. Sponsors can be sure that the AidCoin project fully complies with modern advanced industry practices and market norms.
The advantage of using AidCoin tokens on the CharityStars online auction platform is as follows:
- Discounted prices: auctions paid in AidCoin will benefit from a 5% discount on the hammer final price. As the platform's average ticket is $500, this results in a big incentive to backers to use the tokens as a medium of exchange.
- Membership club auctions: to participate to these special auctions, users will need to stake AidCoin on their wallet. The amount of tokens required will change based on the auction's nature and price. This will enable certain users to bid on once-in-a-lifetime experiences – the most impressive ever hosted on the platform.
The marketing strategy is based on some fundamentals:
- Initial implementation through the CharityStars platform, using the current (and growing) user base.
- "Leveraging our core competency of creating strong partnerships with charities, celebrities, foundations, and corporate giving programs to bring other fundraising platforms on board over time."
- Creating the absolute best interface for interaction between charity organizations and projects and backers for those projects, saving charities time and money on marketing, and increasing transparency and accountability throughout the pipeline from fundraising to donations and distribution of funds.
Summing up, we can say that the AidCoin project has a well-planned marketing program. For 5 years in online charity market, CharityStars had time to prove itself from the positive side, it was able to attract a lot of sponsors for charitable organizations, thereby helping to reduce the amount of funds invested by charities themselves in their PR.
Project economy
The white paper states that registration on the platform will be free of charge and, in order to gain access to all services provided by the platform, it will be necessary to use AID Tokens.
One of the main reasons for backers to donate via AIDPay is the ability to receive immediate tax deductions on behalf of the charity. AIDPay can provide an appropriate tax receipt that acts as a trusted intermediary that confirms ownership of the wallet (through the AIDChain platform).
The documentation presents two different economic models for AIDChain that will be aimed at stabilizing prices of the token in the long term.
- Sustainability Model
- "Exchange" fees: A percentage of each amount sent through AIDPay.
- "Send and notify" fees: fixed amounts for notifications.
- "Smart contract template": Percentage of total donations raised through the con-tract or fixed fee.
Future cash flows, obtained through these service fees, will guarantee the self-sustainability of the AIDChain platform.
- Staking Model
A staking model based on the amount of AidCoin which AIDChain users have to own for a certain timespan in order to access specific tiers of service offered by the platform. Tiers will differ for charities and donors and will be composed of different services provided through the platform.
AidCoin's value will be hedged against volatility thanks to a reserves system managed by AidPool through a specific algorithm which allows the AidPool to directly operate on the supply and demand curves of AidCoin.
The stabilisation algorithm, monitoring core variables directly connected to the AidCoin open market price action, calculates the price difference between supply and demand and operates in order to counteract this dynamic.
During our communication with the founders, they also shared with us some details of the Charitystars platform financials, which will benefit from the adoption of AidCoin. Some statistics are given below:
In addition, we were provided with a detailed financial plan until 2020 inclusive, with projections for platform turnover and extended analysis of indicators. This document is the intellectual property of the company and it is not intended to be shared.
We confirm the availability of this documentation as well as a financial model, careful preparation of which indicates the seriousness of the approach of the founders to the study of all aspects of the economics of the project.
Investment attractiveness of the token
AID are utility tokens and do not give their holders rights to:
- Participate in making decisions or voting within the company.
- Benefit from the company performance.
- Receive any economic benefit from the company.
Therefore, AID Tokens are not related to ownership, voting rights or dividend rights, or other revenues; they are not shares of CharityStars or any other comparable asset.
AID Tokens can be used on the platform in the form of donations to AidCoin charity partners or by purchasing unique CharityStars auctions. Tokens can be exchanged for other cryptocurrencies on trading platforms after the ICO.
Increase in the number of users on the platform may be a growth factor for token price. The first holders of AID Tokens will be 40,000 traders in the CharityStars community. They will have to buy and use tokens to participate in the most exclusive auctions - this is a positive point in promoting the platform and increasing token demand. At the placement price of 1000 AID = 1 ETH with an average auction ticket price of $500, it will take 90,000 people to redeem the entire volume of emission (at the rate of 1 ETH = $450) not including any additional acquisitions by the participants. These figures look realistic.
The growth in AID's price will be associated with an increase in the scale of the charity - which is quite a likely event, since the charity market is in constant growth (for more details see "Market Review" chapter).
The founders place emphasis on increasing the level of transparency of AidCoin activities for backers. The ability to monitor the use of the token throughout its life cycle and the conduct of a public audit should facilitate the return of trust from backers and a corresponding increase in their number on the platform.
The supporting factor for token price at the initial stage will be the stimulation of users to convert fiat to tokens, giving backers a 5% discount on lot prices from the auction hammer for this. The founders expect that AID tokens will prove themselves during the first year and the incentive for discounting will be gradually reduced.
We also want to point out the correct approach for developers to conduct a token sale. There were no large bonuses of 50-70% for early participants in the Pre-Sale; all investors received equal conditions. The hard cap was achieved three days before the end of the preliminary sale, which indicates high demand for tokens.
The founders themselves believe that AID has a huge advantage over any other tokens in the field of charity. The advantage lies in the team personnel that implement the project. The experience of the team and well-coordinated work over the years will also contribute to strengthening the position of the AID token.
Along with this, investors should take into account the fact that only 43% of tokens will be distributed over all stages of the token sale, taking into account the bounty campaign. Even if the remaining 57% for the team, sponsors, future spending reserves and AidPool are never realized in the market, this fact may create some caution over purchases for speculative investors at the ICO stage.
Given all of the above, (also the fact that the platform will be launched only in Q2 2018) we believe that participation in the token sale for AidCoin could be interesting for:
- Future platform users. Taking into account the discounts and the guarantee of obtaining tax deductions, their expectation can be economically justified.
- Medium and long-term Investors who are aware of the risks identified in this review and who independently assess the qualification and experience of the team.

A Pennsylvania man is claiming a judge violated his freedom of speech and his right to due process by ordering him to shut down thepsychoexwife.com, a blog he began in 2007 to discuss his bitter divorce and child custody battle.
Back in November 2010, I wrote a blog entry entitled Social Networking Sites Such as Facebook and MySpace Can Be Your Ex Partner's Worst Nightmare. This latest on-line blog appears to be the next step in using a person's on-line statements or persona against them.
In any case I am retained on, especially family law, the first thing I do is run an on-line search in an attempt to locate anything that can possibly be used against the opposing party. Time and time again, this has proven to be an invaluable tool I use to attack the creditability of the opposing party. As an example, I am currently involved in a child support dispute case wherein the opposing party, the mother, has an on-line employment profile where she calls herself a "liar" and declares that the cause that is most important to her is to "increase alimony two fold." Win, lose, or draw, this is a tool to attack her creditability, since a large part of her claim heavily rests on her word, I hope to show her word is worthless.
However, all this does beg the question, were, if at all, does freedom of speech end? Free speech case law permits the government to impose a wide range of restrictions on a similarly wide variety of forms of speech.
Over the past four decades, free speech jurisprudence has spawned concepts and categories of varying scope and dimension. It has become common for the courts to distinguish between time, place, and manner restrictions on speech and absolute bans; between content-based and content-neutral restrictions; between viewpoint-based and viewpoint-neutral restrictions; and between direct and incidental burdens on speech. The courts have also developed tests for governmental restrictions on commercial speech, for symbolic conduct or mixed speech and conduct cases,7 as well as for regulating speech in various kinds of government forums.
So, was the Pennsylvania judge correct when he shutdown thepsychoexwife.com? What I tell people about free speech is this. You may be free to saw what you want, but the consequences of your words are almost never free. If you post on-line watch out, someone could be watching, just waiting to use your words against you.
