Russian President Vladimir Putin will not be able to come to a conference on the Libyan settlement in Palermo, but Moscow will be presented at the appropriate level, said the press Secretary of the head of state, Dmitry Peskov.
«The President, most likely, will not be able to use the invitation and visit in Palermo. Russia will be represented at a decent level», — said Peskov, answering the question of whether to go Putin at a conference in Palermo.
International conference on settlement in Libya will be held on 12-13 November in Palermo. Your arrival in Italy has confirmed the head of the Libyan national army Marshal Khalifa Haftar. The official invitation to attend the conference was given to the presidents of Russia and USA Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump.
In Libya now is diarchy in the East sits a Parliament elected by people, and in the West, in the capital Tripoli, the rules generated with the support of the UN and the European Union, the government of national consent headed by Saragam. The authorities of the Eastern part of the country operate independently from Tripoli to cooperate with the national army led by Khalifa Haftarot that leads a protracted war with the militants.

What are you collecting and Why does it matter?
Collections cases can vary depending on the nature of the assessments being collected. The most straight forward case involves unpaid common charges. There are other cases which require more documentation than an account statement before an action can be commenced. Cases involving the collection of fines present challenges unique to Boards and their attorneys. CIOA is very strict in its requirements involving the levy and collection of fines. Connecticut General Statutes Section 47-244 states that an association board may levy fines only after the owner has been provided notice of the violation and an opportunity to be heard. There are no exceptions to the law. Therefore, it is incumbent upon a Board to ensure that no fine is assessed against a unit owner prior to providing notice and scheduling a hearing for the offending unit owner.
Failure to follow the notice and hearing requirements of CIOA renders the collection vulnerable to attack. Courts are not willing to award associations for their failure to provide unit owners with basic due process. The subject of proper rules and enforcement would certainly take up a full article. Suffice to say that failure to follow the basic requirements of §47-244 will meet with defeat in the courtroom.
Go back to Zero.
When a unit owner is referred to association counsel for collection it is important that the arrearage be a reliable reflection of the owner's account. One way to ensure that counsel has reliable figures is to provide an account statement which goes back to a point in time when the owner's balance was zero. Showing a balance forward is extremely troublesome for the court when establishing the collectible debt at the time of judgment. Providing a "zero balance" statement can be a problem for associations that have recently transitioned from one property management company to another. While most companies are professional and accomplish the transfer of records in a timely and reliable manner, some leave incomplete records of payments resulting in account statements starting with a balance. Boards should be aware of this possibility when entering into new management contracts so that the contracts include provisions mandating the transfer of complete documentation.
Transfer charges.
Speaking of property managers...Increasingly, accounts that have been turned over to counsel for collection include a "transfer fee" payable to the property manager. These charges are appropriate as long as they are provided for in the management contract. It might be a good idea to include notice of transfer charges in the collection policy as well.
Set it and forget it.
Once an owner's account has been referred out to the Association's attorney for collection, it is best for the board not to involve itself in the matter. Too often, owners will reach out to sympathetic board members seeking relief from the collection effort. With the best intentions, Boards will veer from established collection protocols and thereby render the collection vulnerable. Some Boards accept partial payments without communicating as much to counsel. Such activity exposes association counsel to Fair Debt Collections Practices claims which can be costly.
Boards must keep in mind that they have retained counsel to deal with this very delicate and difficult issue. Permitting their attorneys to handle the collection eliminates the stress of direct confrontation with the unit owners. Allowing counsel to collect the arrearage is the most efficient avenue toward resolution. That is not to say that counsel will not and should not communicate debtor requests. Trying to manage the intricacies of Connecticut's collection laws is best left to professionals. Once the account has been referred to counsel let it be resolved by counsel. A good lawyer will communicate with his or her board and provide regular updates. The merits of requested payment plans and other special dispensations can be discussed fully by attorney and client in executive session. If a board wishes to modify its position about a particular account, it will have ample opportunity to do so. A board should expect a periodic status of collections report from its counsel. Such a report will keep the board apprised of the progress (or lack of progress) in the various collection matters being prosecuted.

Anyone who has served on the board of a condominium association knows that common charges are the life blood of their community. Having spent long hours gathering information from vendors and looking to the future needs of the community, boards and their property managers struggle to adopt budgets which balance the financial obligations of the Association against the fiscal demands on each unit owner.
Over the years, the needs of common interest communities have evolved and intensified as capital improvement projects once the subject of a long range reserve study, now loom ominously close to indispensable obligations. Unfortunately, the challenges of collecting common charges from defaulting unit owners evolved with each "tweaking" amendment to the Common Interest Ownership Act have grown exponentially as well. From its original version in 1984 to its current form, the CIOA has become significantly more complex and that complexity has extended to collections. This article is designed to point out some of the common errors made by Associations when trying to collect against defaulting owners. So let's begin at the beginning.
Failing to Prepare is Preparing to Fail
Passing an enforceable budget is unquestionably the most important aspect of the collection process. Boards should be wary of the timing and notice requirements of their documents and the CIOA before adopting any budget. Every year a Board must adopt a proposed budget for the common interest community. The board must present the unit owners a summary of the proposed budget including a statement of any reserves and a statement of the basis on which the reserves are calculated and funded. Along with sending the summary and statements, the board must schedule a unit owner meeting at which the unit owners may ratify the proposed budget. The statute requires that the meeting be scheduled with at least ten days notice but no more than 60 days notice.
Depending upon your individual declarations, the unit owner will ratify the budget if less than a majority vote to reject it. In those instances where the budget is rejected, the board may rely upon the last approved budget to set common charges for the unit owners. All too often, boards will omit a step on the way to passing a budget only to find the lien unenforceable when challenged in costly litigation.
One of the few defenses available to a unit owner in a foreclosure action is to claim that the lien for common charges is invalid because the budget was not properly passed. A board must follow the formal requirements of CIOA in the adoption of the annual budget. Notice and disclosure provisions of the statute mandate formal compliance by Boards. Non-compliance opens each collection effort vulnerable to attack by savvy owners or their watchful attorneys.
Boards must determine how to handle defaulting owners as a standard part of its governance obligations. Some boards bypass this obligation all together and hope friendly nudging will work. Often this stand-off approach makes matter worse and results in owners getting so far behind they cannot recover. The Association loses significant sums which fall outside the priority or worse, outside the statute of limitations. I suggest a balanced firm position. Educating unit owners about their obligations and the consequences of failure is a good start. Providing written warning to those who fall slightly behind will re-enforce the obligation. When that fails, initiating formal collection efforts is appropriate.
Adopting a written collection policy is the best course of action for a Board. The collection policy is adopted after the Board considers many of the factors cited above and weighs those factors against the limited priority lien available to CIOA communities. CIOA mandates that before any collection of unpaid common charges is commenced the Board must either vote (at a duly noticed meeting) to refer the matter to the attorney for collection or it must adopt a written collection policy setting forth the contingencies leading to collection. A well-crafted collection policy which sets forth all of the factors triggering a collection action such as the timing, interest rates to be added, and the priority of payments made.*
The most important factor to be considered by Board is "time". Since 2013, the priority lien enjoyed by common interest communities over first and second mortgagees was extended from six months to nine months. The extension of time was a trade off when banks lobbied successfully to require associations to provide sixty days advance notice before commencing a foreclosure action. As a result of these changes, boards must be more vigilant and organized to avoid losing common charges which fall outside the priority. CIOA prevents the association from commencing a collection action until the owner's arrearage exceeds two months of common charges. Therefore, the minimum delay in commencing a foreclosure is now four months! For those who are math-impaired, it means that the Association has five months from the commencements of the lawsuit to obtain a judgment before unpaid common charges become uncollectible. Five months may sound like a long time, but courts move slowly and any wrinkle in the collection could postpone judgment weeks and sometimes months.
Join us next week for Part 2 of Challenges in Collections.
*There is some controversy about the nature of collection policies. Some argue that such policies are rules and must therefore be subject to notice and comment by the owners before being implemented. The other more convincing approach is to treat collection policies as internal business operating policies of the board. A careful reading of the definitions section of CIOA and recent case law on the subject should resolve the dispute although a case is currently an appeal before the Connecticut Supreme court which could potentially address the issue.

As part of our practice representing common interest communities in their collection efforts, we have to deal with unit owners who file bankruptcy owing substantial fees to the Association. Although the evidence is anecdotal, there appears to be a considerable increase in the number of bankruptcy filings in our cases. When trying to collect back common charges from defaulting unit owners, there are some important facts about bankruptcy that Association Boards should keep in mind.
When an individual files a bankruptcy petition, any and all collection efforts must cease. Filing a bankruptcy petition creates an automatic stay of any attempt to collect from the debtor on pain of contempt and possible fines and/or attorney's fees. So, what can the Association do if the debtor is protected from collection efforts? We'll get into that shortly, but it is probably a good idea to provide a small primer on the types of bankruptcy cases that are normally involved with Association collections.
The typical bankruptcy is known as a "Chapter 7" bankruptcy. It is an effort by the debtor to discharge his or her personal liability to repay all non-secured debt. Chapter 7 bankruptcies are very common and can take many months before the discharge is entered by the court, the estate is closed and the automatic stay lifted. The next most used type of bankruptcy petitions is the "Chapter 13." Chapter 13 bankruptcies are designed to provide the debtor an opportunity to remove some debts and to pay the remaining debts over a five-year period. Typically, the debtor and his or her attorney will take six months to design a re-payment plan to submit to the bankruptcy trustee and court wherein the debtor pays a fixed amount to the trustee on a monthly basis. The trustee then disperses percentages of those funds paid to the various debtors named in the plan.
Does that mean that an Association must wait five years to be paid? The answer is yes and no. The debtor is able to include all of the common charge debt due and owing prior to the bankruptcy filing into the repayment plan, this amount is often referred to as "pre-petition debt". While Chapter 13 debtors enjoy some relief from the pre-petition debt, they are still obligated to pay the ongoing common charges. It is also important to file a "proof of claim" early in the bankruptcy case as failure to do so can result in the Association's debt losing its secured status.
Given the short window of priority that the common charges receive, Associations must consider moving quickly to obtain relief from the automatic stay. In Chapter 7 cases, the Association must be able to prove that the debtor failed to provide adequate protection of the Association's interest or there is insufficient equity in the unit. The same bases apply to relief in Chapter 13 cases with the added claim that the debtor failed to make timely "post-petition payments" which provides creditors "cause".
There are many other issues with bankruptcy that Association's should know, but suffice to say the only mistake for an Association in this realm is to do nothing.

First-year Toono transfers from Tokyo to the all-boys boarding school deep in the mountains, "Mori Moori Private School." The friendly Yaguchi who calls out to him becomes his only friend, but his dislike of sports makes him join the most laid-back looking photography club instead of Yaguchi's soccer club. However, the photography club is in name only and is actually nicknamed the "Yarichin Bitch Club," filled with colorful seniors. In contrast to the troubled Toono, Kajima, who joined the club at the same time, is completely unphased and even slips a confession to Toono into the confusion.

Pennsylvania drilling tax unlikely in 2011, Scarnati saysBy Brad Bumsted
Wednesday, June 9, 2010
HARRISBURG -- It's unlikely lawmakers will tax the extraction of natural gas from the Marcellus shale formation in the 2011 budget, Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati said Tuesday.
Gov. Ed Rendell is pushing the tax as a way to help close a $1.3 billion deficit expected by June 30. But Scarnati, the lieutenant governor, said although such a tax probably is inevitable, the Legislature isn't prepared to pass it immediately. He cited issues that must be explored, ranging from potential local government regulations and eminent domain to taxation policies on other natural resources such as coal. More...

Joseph Caron, Canada's ambassador to Japan since 2005, remembers his first day here — a Saturday in late August 1975. He stayed at the Hotel New Otani and visited Ginza, Nihonbashi and Omote-sando.
"I just felt right at home and I thought I liked it here," he says now.
What he felt that day somewhat foretold his later diplomatic career. Now on his fifth stint in Japan, he has spent 17 years here out of his 36-year career.
In early March, Caron received an honorary doctorate from Meiji Gakuin University for his "contribution to humanity from the standpoint of a diplomat."
"I'm truly honored. First surprised and then honored," Caron says.
His first job as a diplomat was serving in Vietnam in 1973 as a Canadian member of the International Commission of Control and Supervision created in the Paris Peace Accords.
"We have active diplomacy and foreign policy related to the issues of peacekeeping, human rights, etc. That's our legacy and is something we do professionally," Caron says. "Fortunately my first foreign assignment was peace supervisory operations in Vietnam. So I am not an exception at all."
Much later, Caron, then ambassador to China, was caught up in a major incident. On the afternoon of Sept. 29, 2004, 44 North Koreans climbed over the wall of his embassy in Beijing, seeking passage to South Korea.
Caron says he had two obligations — the legal obligation under international law related to how to treat people who declare themselves as refugees, and the human obligation to feed and take care of the men, women and children.
It took three months for the situation to be resolved. "But ultimately I think these people achieved what they wished to do," Caron says. "I think we did the job we had to do well and I think these people benefited from that."
Caron thinks that Meiji Gakuin University's honorary doctorate is especially meaningful because the school is enthusiastically internationalist in orientation, including its deep relations with Canada. It boasts strong Canadian studies activities and student exchanges, through Simon Fraser University in particular.
His thoughts go back more than 140 years to James Curtis Hepburn, an American missionary who opened the Hepburn school in Yokohama, from which Meiji Gakuin University developed. He says that the Hepburn-style romaji popularized by the missionary helped him a lot when he first learned Japanese at a U.S. language institute in the port city in 1975.
Caron was born in 1947 to a French-speaking farming family in the predominantly English-speaking province of Ontario. Although his community, including schools and stores, spoke French, English was very much a part of his everyday life.
But interestingly, Caron as a child was exposed to Japan through his aunt, an older sister of his mother, who was teaching English at a school in Fukushima Prefecture as part of a Catholic mission. She frequently sent him letters, picture postcards, photographs and sometimes dolls and other Japanese items.
"So I was always conscious that there was something much beyond my farm and my village. So at a very early age (9), I begged my parents to get me an atlas."
At the University of Ottawa, he took Chinese classes because it was the only Asian language taught there at the time.
In Ankara, his second posting after Saigon, the direction of his career veered toward Japan. There he proposed marriage to Kumru Aytug, a librarian and receptionist at the Canadian Embassy. "The same week we decided to marry, 'jinjibu' (Japanese for the personnel section) in Canada asked me, 'Do you want to go to Japan?' " Caron says.
Of course he accepted the offer.
There were some "interesting coincidences — coincidences I was able to use to my advantage," Caron says. His fiancee had lived in Japan for five years since her father was ambassador to Japan, is very fond of the nation and already had many friends here, making her a "tremendous support" for Caron.
In his first days in Japan, he faced "two huge challenges." The first was learning a few Japanese phrases like "Do itashimashite" ("Don't mention it. You are most welcome") and "Domo arigato gozaimashita" ("Thank you very much. I much appreciate your help"). The second was "learning to eat sushi." "I told myself I am going to absorb as much Japan as possible, even physically, and as fast as possible," he recalls.
Laying down principles he believes are important for a diplomat, Caron says, "I think fundamentally you have to be curious, open-minded and empathetic.
"Each culture has its own richness. You have to go beyond yourself. You have to start with a notion that you are going to be seeking to find different ways of viewing things, not confirmation of yourself and your way of viewing things."
At the same time, Caron says, "you have to be articulate" because a diplomat has to represent his or her country's interests.
In terms of advice for Japanese youth, he says, "Learning another language is extremely important." He is so proficient in Japanese that he often makes speeches in Japanese. But he humbly says, "I'm not a good example. I speak some Japanese. But I at least put forth an effort. It has hugely enriched and transformed my life, allowed me to do a few things in Japan that I could not have done if I did not have that."
Looking back at his career, Caron says, "Quite frankly, presenting my credentials to the Emperor was the moment I would never forget. It was the start of a confirmation that I had achieved my objective."
He says that the Canada-Japan relationship, which legally goes back to 1929, is "very matured" and that "we have very few bilateral problems."
This means that being the Canadian ambassador to Japan is not so much worrying about day-to-day things as preparing for the future so that both nations will benefit as much as possible from their relationship, Caron says.
He lists signing a free-trade agreement, cooperation in agriculture and the food sector, and Japan's increased role in the area of peacekeeping and peace-building as three important issues.
He hopes that not only the Japanese government, but also the people will have a wider perspective internationally and make contributions.
"I think the more Japan and the Japanese people engage internationally, through business, through academia, through studying abroad, in other words, more than simply tours, more than simply going and coming back with visual images, and the more the Japanese absorb a sense of the rest of the world, the more Japan and the Japanese people can benefit and the more they can contribute."

A unique biological method of joint treatment is being practiced in the One-day Surgery Centre, Hradec Králové
Electronic archive of the Právo newspaper, managed by NEWTON Media.
Date: 26/07/2010

Section: Eastern Bohemia
One-day Surgery Centre Hradec Králové recently celebrated its eight birthday and introduced its new branch in Pardubice. Both clinics offer a comprehensive treatment of locomotive organs, including brand new type of biological treatment.
Dr. Pavel Zdarsky from the clinic told us the method is called ACP – autologous conditioned plasma. "It is a brand new biosurgical method using healing effects from substances out of patient's own body. First, our client is drawn approx. 10 mililiters of blood. Then we remove plasma enriched with activated platelets, containing growth and anti-inflammatory factors, from the blood. Finally, the plasma is inoculated into the affected area. This is the way how we treat especially damaged cartilages (in case of arthritis of both minor and major joints), variety of sport injuries, as well as many other diagnoses," Zdarsky explained.
This successful method, which has been in practice worldwide for more than two years, is currently on boom in the Czech Republic. To say it simple, the affected cartilage itself cannot regenerate. However, when using ACP, the regeneration might be achieved.
Do not expect miracles
"Of course, ACP is not a miraculous method. However, for patients it considerable extends the range of treatment possibilities. You should bear in mind if there is someone who needs to be operated, this method will not help him," dr. Prix from the One-Day Surgery Centre said. He also added this method is popular especially among young sportsmen, elderly patients suffering from degenerative joint diseases or people with post-traumatologic disorders.
"Most of our clients have different levels of arthritis. Nevertheless, ACP is also suitable when having tendon pain – e.g. problems with Achilles tendon, tennis- or golf elbow. Using ACP after arthroscopy with per-operational treatment of cartilages is more than recommended: micro-fractures and centring followed by ACP considerably enhances the healing process," dr. Prix specified. He also noticed the patients are usually inoculated into the aching area three to five times.
ACP is a brand new medical method. That is why it is not covered in any of the current insurances provided by the Czech health insurance companies. Hence, a financial participation of a client is always required.
The whole team of our specialists puts emphasis on an out-patient system. "This is the most suitable way how to manage a progressive way of treating variety of diagnoses. Our patients do not have to spend a long time here like in a hospital, however, they are provided with a wide range of top-quality services: from examination and eventual operating or arthroscopic procedure to physical rehabilitation. All the essential services are to be found under one roof. And especially the comprehensiveness of services plays very important role in treatment of the locomotive organs," Zdarsky highlited.
Consulting a specialist on time is essential in this case. "Who keeps on postponing the visit of the doctor's place, may miss the opportunity of quite an easy treatment and, moreover, of avoiding the operation. It is also interesting that in fact up to 30 per cent of our clients suffer from a different problem than they had thought before they visited us," Zdarsky added.

Philippines Air Traffic Control Communications Upgrade on Track
A delegation from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines visited the Rohde & Schwarz systems integration facility in Sydney for factory acceptance testing of the Philippines' new air traffic control HF communications system.
Sydney, 12 July 2019 — Rohde & Schwarz has successfully completed factory acceptance testing of a High Frequency (HF) Communications System for the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP). This test is an important milestone that presents the customer with a completely configured and integrated HF Communications System.
'CAAP is satisfied with the positive results of factory acceptance testing on the transmitter and receiver system, voice communications system and voice logging system,' Roberto Martin S. Buenaventura, CAAP Director General Representative, explained.

Life Simulator Review
- 2018-12-31
There were dozens of real-life simulators so far, but this one provides a truly unique retro experience because it is made totally of text! The genre of text-based video-games was invented long-long ago in the 1970s. Today, it is still popular, because it represents a competition between beginner programmers. Those, who manage to create a playable and stable roguelike game in a short period of seven days may call themselves masters in this benchmark. This Bart Oudkerk's creation provides the experience of walking the route from rags to riches.
Graphics and Sound 7/10
This game is designed for Android devices on the basis of Google material design, so it looks quite like many other ordinary system applications.
It obviously lacks depiction of the character development process. There are not many colored elements, so users without any preference to the genre won't get engaged. However, developer pledges to add many new features. Hopefully, they would contain design improvements and at least a few sounds. For retro-gaming fans, there's not much to complain about.
Controls 8/10
Home, work, info, settings and shop tabs are accessible in a single tap, so browsing is very fast and convenient. For a character, supervision there are food, health, and money unremovable bars on the top of the screen. Choose the appropriate menu and scroll up and down to find the command you need.
Gameplay 8/10
The approach to real-life simulation in this game is quite on. There's not much fun in the process, but it makes it even better. The game starts out on the street. Your character is completely mendicant and a bit hungry. That's where the hardcore begins. You have to hurry and find yourself a job to earn money for basic needs fulfillment. Promotion is gainable after graduating a university, so it's one of the most important buys. On the daily basis, you are bound to feed your character in a proper way to keep his health bar green. It's great, that you always have a choice. No one gives you the right answers, so you are free to be logic or ruin virtual personality with harmful activities. Life Simulator activates your imagination by pushing you to learn how to make life better. Buy clothes, courses, food, medicines, and apartments after hard work or rott in the streets.
Lasting Appeal 9/10
To answer the question of the replayability of this game you have to know your taste. Roguelike scenario makes Life Simulator a very lasting experience. You can live, prosper and die at the age of 100 or beg your entire life to end up in a cold ditch. There are many more possible twists to happen, so you would probably like to test app's flexibility.
Life Simulator is a very responsibly done text-based game, which knows how to make you fight for your life. If you're tired of meaningless tapping for gaining coins & points in numerous "dashes", "rushes" and "runs", this may be your choice of the week. Upcoming updates would bring more convenience and features to the process, so it's worth downloading for the developer's support. It's quite tough to make a good game on your own!
