Online fashion portal Asos is to increase investment into its warehousing as it aims to increase sales capacity to £2.5bn a year, more than £1bn higher than previous guidance.
The firm, which caters to fashion conscious twenty somethings, posted a retail sales rise of 26 per cent to £136.7m as UK sales increased 21 per cent to £48.4m in the two months to February 28.
International sales now account for 65 per cent of total sales – up 53 per cent for the same time last year.
Chief executive Nick Robertson commented: "It has been an exceptionally busy period of activity at Asos, with continued growth and accelerated investment.
"The group delivered strong sales and margin growth over the first six months of the year and we are now confident of achieving £1bn of sales in 2013/14.
"We ended the period with 8.2 million active customers, a 36% increase year on year."
David Alexander, Retail Analyst at Conlumino said Asos is putting the wheels in motion for even more growth.
"Investments in technology are not just benefitting Asos's customers, they are also helping the buying and trading teams.
"The company uses real-time data to collect information from blogs, social media, competitor websites and press mentions on a daily basis, which then assists buyers and merchandisers with their ranging and pricing decisions, helping to ensure that Asos's product lines are trend-lend and up to the minute."
Shares in Asos have almost doubled in the last year, giving it a market value of £5.3bn, only £2.3bn less than 130 year-old Marks & Spencer, Britain's biggest clothing retailer.

Nowhere is the pedagogical impact more pronounced than on the hearts and minds of students taught by Adventist educators over the decades. So, in preparing this year's special Education issue of the Southern Tidings, we solicited nominations for "Favorite Teacher."
When Jennifer Stewart and her husband, David, first moved to Snellville, Georgia, they searched for a good school to educate their four sons. At first they enrolled the two older boys at an elementary school run by an independent Christian organization. They were satisfied, for the most part, and believed they had found the right environment.That all changed after the couple lost a baby and the school tried to convince their oldest son that his brother could hear his prayers.
Twenty innovation and robotics teams participated in the Annual FIRST® Innovation and Robotics Competition held on March 26, 2018, at Forest Lake Education Center, Longwood, Fla.
At Ephesus Early Learning Center "It takes a village" is more than just a nice, catchy saying. It is the hinge point of their daily operations.

Yes I keep up on all new products from apple to see what will make our lives easier in the world ahead. Technology is all around us that make our way of living easier by keeping us connected to work and family and helps us work faster and better than in the past.
As an investor in the stock of Apple I am very anxious to see what new products Apple has to offer. The stock has run up the past three months on the assumption that Apple will be offering a new cutting edge product, such as the Apple watch. If the product launch does not meet those standards the stock value will crater.
Apple's new product launch always brings excitement. Apple is a leader in the cell phone, tablet, and music player industry. Apple's product releases always show the newest innovations in technology. Many other companies try to mimic Apple, but Apple is always ahead of the game. The release of Siri has since seen mimicry in other products that are similar to Apple. The quality of the products Apple releases cannot be duplicated.
I am not an Apple user. I feel that Apple products are overpriced. I can get just as much utility from Android and/or PC products as Apple products at at least half the price. I feel that Apple's cache is no longer technological innovation as much as pride of ownership - Apple has developed "snob appeal".

Let's get one thing straight: Group B streptococci (GBS) is not a sore throat. (That's Group A strep.) GBS is a dangerous bacteria that lives inside the lower digestive tracts and genitals of 20 percent of pregnant women. It can cause a fever, flu-like symptoms, and uterine infections in mothers, and poses an even greater risk to newborns: Untreated, GBS can lead to meningitis, pneumonia, blood infection, and even death.
It's estimated there are over 1,600 cases of infant GBS each year; most are early-onset GBS, which begin within 24 hours of delivery. But, with testing, monitoring and treatment, almost 90% of GBS cases could be prevented.
What you can do:
1. Get tested: Since 2002, the Centers for Disease Control have recommended a culture screening at 35 to 37 weeks. Results take a few days to return. A faster test is now available which returns results within an hour, and may be used around labor, but it may not be as accurate.
2. Be prepared: You will receive intravenous antibiotics during delivery if your test results are positive — or if you go into premature labor (three weeks or more before your due date) or your water breaks more than 12 hours before delivery. (Though it is less common, it is also possible for a baby to contract GBS through c-section delivery.)
3. Watch for symptoms: GBS is easily treated with antibiotics, so call your doctor if your baby has symptoms such as uncontrollable crying, poor feeding, fever, grunting, or blue skin. (Late-onset GBS, which develops after the first week, may also cause vomiting.)

PM Update: Awesome evening and weekend
No end to the warmth in the coming days
* Cherry blossoms from above | NatCast | UnitedCast *
* CWG T-Shirts | Radar and more: Weather Wall | Get There *
In stretches like this it starts to become tricky to keep describing the perfectly pleasant weather. Well, it's still pretty darn nice and it looks to stay that way for some time. Highs are reaching the upper 70s to around 80 this afternoon under sunny skies. If you were stuck inside during the past few days, fear not -- the weekend will be equally awesome.
Through Tonight: Another brilliant evening is in store as readings fall back toward the mid-60s near sunset. The rest of the night will be mostly clear and calm as lows settle around 50 in the suburbs to the mid-50s downtown.
Tomorrow (Saturday): The weekend starts of beautifully with mostly sunny skies tomorrow. Morning temperatures rising through the 60s will be near 70 by noon and end up ranging from the mid-70s to around 80 late in the day. Do yourself a favor and spend some time outside!

Definitely looks like a tropical or subtropical storm forming in the Gulf, but that's way out in fantasy land so it could be gone with the next update! Either way, it looks mild through much of the period -- perhaps some cool down late next week but signs of more good warmth after. So far ridging on the east coast has been able to flex a bit lately (intermixed with cutoff nor'easters).

"For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, Forever and Ever. Amen."
-Matthew 6:13
For Ritona Raito's "Religious Context" Challenge
KK. Back to business: The challenge stated that you could "use a quotation relating to religion" so here I did. I used one of my favorites:
"For Thine is the Kingdom, and the Power, and the Glory, Forever and Ever." -Matthew 6:13
I read it in the bible when I went to a Catholic school when I was younger and for some reason (still unknown to me) it sparked my interest. Back then, I was so obsessed with "cool and unknown" words like 'majestic' and 'glory' (lol. fail.)
I believe that this text relates to the anime Star Rock Shooter alot. In the anime, the main character goes to anouther universe to fight her best friend to get her back. I found it was cool how a little girl could become so strong just for the sake of her friend. Once you set your mind to save someone whom you cherish you'll come out victorious, because friendship and love can make someone so much more stronger. Although it may seem like it has nothing to do with the quote, in some ways, it does (for me. lol.).

It's about time for one of these posts! Friday was all day fishing with the boy's cousins at a natural spring fed pond. Shawners caught three fish right away and Justinbustin caught four soon after. We stayed for four hours and enjoyed the surroundings while the boys climbed and fished and fell in the water. Don't worry, it was shallow! Just cold.
Saturday Brando had a showing with some friends of ours so the boys and I spent the day at the local Fire Department's 45th Annual Anniversary celebration, sponsored by my neighbor's company. She was there handing out free footballs and frisbees. We had free bbq, desserts, strawberry lemonade, and iced tea with her, played on the antique fire truck out front, enjoyed the warm sunshine, watched the firefighter's use the jaws of life on an old Volvo, watched them spray the newest and more efficient than water foam from the fire engine hose, fished for magnetic fish and came home with fire chief hats and lots of candy.
Sunday we woke up bright and early and went to Border's to attend a book signing by Jan Brett. My favorite children's book author ever! If anyone thought the kids were excited you should've seen me. She did a fifteen minute presentation before the book signing of the history of her latest book, Hedgie the Hedgehog, and talked about her childhood a bit, where she got her ideas for this latest book, and did an quick art lesson which Justinb promptly followed along with. We bought five books for her to sign - we just couldn't pass up that once in a lifetime chance - and she signed them along with Justinb's artwork. She put a cute little sketch related to each book on each one. She was soooo nice. She asked Shawners what his favorite animal was. His answer was bats. She signed Shis favorite book, On Noah's Ark, and we told her how excited he was that she had drawn a leopard gecko on one of the pages like his. She asked what the gecko's name is which is currently Jurgen, but usually Gecko. She then told him about how there are two extinct animals in that book, a marsupal and a dodo. She told him the marsupal went extinct in 1937 which wasn't that long ago so some think there still may be some around. She noticed Justinb's drawing when Brando was handing it to her to ask her to sign it for him and said, "Who drew this?" He got a big smile on his face and said he did. She asked how old he is and he said seven and she says, "Wow, when you grow up you're going to be a famous artist." His face beamed and he stood next to her for our picture instead of against the backdrop.
We got out of there just in time to make it to the end of church. We were able to be part of circling the entire church property along with the rest of the church goers and praying for the church. First we faced inward and prayed for the church, then we faced outward and prayed for the world and individuals we know by name who we want to know Christ, then inward again to pray the Lord's prayer.
This afternoon we went to a photo shoot at a local garden here that Brando's company put on. They had pumpkins set up and a photographer to take pictures of families. Brando had a few of his clients there that we chatted with. They had the cutest little baby girl dressed as a goldfish. The boys didn't dress up but we did get a family picture together and a few of them in the pumpkins and on the tractor. We were there long enough to sunburn a little and then drove out to see a condo that Brando's boss has that we were thinking about renting. It doesn't quite work for us, but dang it would be a good price just for us.

A Trial of Rituximab Combined With Prednisone/Ifosfamide/Etoposide for Relapsed Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL)
Rationale for study design:
The combination of etoposide and ifosfamide is a reinduction regimen used in many previous
studies for pediatric B lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). It does not use
anthracyclines, and therefore can be safely used in patients at risk for cardiac toxicity
due to previous anthracycline use.
Previous studies in adult patients with ALL have demonstrated safety and efficacy with the
addition of rituximab to other induction regimens. Rituximab is an anti-CD20 monoclonal
antibody. Approximately one-half of pediatric cases of B precursor ALL express the CD20
antigen on the leukemic blasts. The use of rituximab provides a potential target for CD20
positive cells, therefore improving the rates of cytotoxicity associated with the
chemotherapy. Rituximab has been previously utilized in many pediatric and adult regimens
in combination with other chemotherapeutic agents, and is expected to be safe with the
combination of etoposide and ifosfamide. However, since it has never been studied with this
combination of chemotherapy, strict stopping rules are in place to ensure that it is a safe
A recent study demonstrated upregulation of CD20 expression on leukemic blasts exposed to
one week of prednisone therapy. This increase in expression occurred in the majority of
B-ALL patient samples, regardless of whether the patient initially expressed CD20 on the
surface of the leukemic blasts. In those samples with upregulation of CD20 treated with
rituximab, cytotoxicity from rituximab was more successful than in samples with a smaller
percentage of CD20 expression.
Therefore, prednisone will be given for two weeks in combination with etoposide and
ifosfamide. It is hoped that the percentage of leukemic blasts expressing CD20 will
increase with this combination of medications, allowing the rituximab to be more effective
when given weekly starting on day 8 of therapy. To better understand this process, samples
of blood and bone marrow will be collected to quantify CD20 expression and the amount of
leukemia present at multiple time points during the month of study duration.
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
4 month Event Free Survival (EFS)
To estimate the 4 month EFS after therapy with rituximab and cytotoxic chemotherapy (prednisone/etoposide/ifosfamide) in patients with second relapse/refractory ALL.

And here is how Stella's not-so-girly nursery turned out. Many of these pictures are from when she was just a wee one (and her crib mattress wasn't lowered down to the bottom to prevent her from climbing out!):
The transformation from the office to the nursery began with painting the walls an orange (but not too orange!) color called Autumn Mist by Behr. Ross wanted more of a "Texas Longhorn Orange", but I thought that bright of a color would give the poor girl nightmares. The other big change was replacing our blah ceiling light fixture with this big rattan drum lamp. I think it really helped make the room, and and some 'rustic safari' texture:
This type of work is always best done with hired labor... at six months pregnant, I was able to bribe my mom and sister to do the painting with frequent deliveries of wine and cheese ;>)
One of my favorite pieces in the room was this Dutailier rocker and ottoman I found on Craigslist for $50 (they can run upwards of $600 new). It was in really good shape and I liked the clean lines of the cushions, the only problem was that they were blue. Luckily, my sister also happens to be an excellent seamstress and offered to sew cushion covers for me out of this fun tropical floral fabric we found at Joann's:
I really wanted a modern looking crib, but they are typically really expensive ($1500++). I happened to find this crib line called Baby Mod that is carried by Walmart. I really liked the mix of white and dark woods. It was $250 and hasn't fallen apart yet, so I think I got a good buy:
This bedding from Target was one of the first things I picked out for the room. The colors were perfect and I really liked the big polka dots and that the animals weren't too cartoony like they were on a lot of the safari bedding I saw. The bedding set was actually meant for a boys room, and the accompanying crib skirt and bumper were blue, so I just bought the sheets and paired them with a brown and white polka dot bumper and skirt from a completely different bedding set:
The art above the crib are three drawings we bought for $5 a piece from a woman on our trip to New Zealand before Stella was born. I found an inexpensive natural colored mat and rustic frame to put them in. I know you aren't likely to find a kiwi bird or a sheep on your next African safari, but I was improvising here, and I like that the pictures remind me of our trip!
I really like the trend of using wall decals as easy (and cheap) art. I bought this one off of Etsy for $60 to put above the changing table:
Finally, rather than buying new furniture, I freshened up an old dresser I've had since my first year out of college by replacing the knobs with these giraffes and zebras that I got for a few dollars at Target. Adding funky knobs is a fun and easy way to remake an existing dresser. Anthropologie carries a ton of cool knobs...
Oh, and this is how the nursery looks more often than not these days ;>)

Fishing in the Street
There is not much to report on in terms of my work at the university. China's national holiday week has meant that the university is quiet since many students have gone home. I have taken advantage of this week to get the surveys perfected and ready for use and to explore the city a little more. It really is an interesting place to be. Eight to ten million people and their subway/metro has just opened their first line of four this past month. Traveling by subway is a real novelty for most of Xi'an. The public bus system is still the primary means of transport for most. The bus is very inexpensive at 16 – 33cents a ride. Folks in the subway have to use a mechanized self serve ticket purchasing system. Which still means long lines. There are many young people dressed in red vests helping to acquaint the travels with the ins and outs of the metro. Early in the week I jumped onto the metro and headed downtown to see the bell tower and drum tower.
One morning I was walking to the bus stop to catch the bus to the university. In the middle of the intersection just near to my apartment a scooter was stopped and a number of cars were honking. It was obvious that the scooter driver intended cutting across the street. Behind the scooter in the intersection was a fish about a foot and half flopping in the street. At this point I need to share a little more information about car and road culture. There are cars, trucks (both with 4 and 3 wheel types), public buses, regular bicycles, 3 wheeled bikes with a trailer attached for cargo. Most vehicles are used to their capacities since vehicles, gas, tolls and other related costs are expensive. It is not uncommon to see more than the Canadian safe limit of two people on a bike, scooter, etc… Most vehicles are also used to carry bags and boxes. Many times more than what would be safe driving on the chaotic roads.
Well, back to the scooter and the fish in the middle of the intersection. This gentleman had bags and boxes piled up on his scooter. In two of the plastic shopping bags he had filled with fish and tied at the top. One lucky or strong fish had escaped its bag landing on the street. The driver of the scooter or the fisher of fish from the street, grabbed the escapee, packed it in the bag, repiled the scooter, thanked a pedestrian who helped balance his machine so it would not fall over under its weight while chasing his fish and sped away.
Have a great Thanksgiving this weekend!!

Funniest/Most Insightful Comments Of The Week At Techdirt
from the cereal-abuse dept
When a Pennsylvania student recorded an incident of bullying and brought it to his school's administration, it kicked off a darkly farcical series of escalations, with the school calling the cops, the cops calling the attorney general, and nobody calling perspective or common sense. An anonymous commenter won most insightful comment of the week by summing it all up in a sentence:
Kid gets bullied, goes to bigger bullies who then refer him to even bigger bullies.
In last week's comments post, I had mentioned how infuriating it is that the rightsholder's word is so often taken as law when it comes to DMCA takedowns. That's just the tip of the iceberg though, and Loki won second place for insightful by delving below the surface:
My issue with this is that in a lot of cases these claims aren't from actual rightsholder's and that these people can potentially violate MY rights whenever they feel like it without facing any of the penalties they insist I should face for doing the same.
On top of that, even when they are the legal rightsholders, they like to ignore or pretend other rights I have, like fair use, simply don't exist (when they aren't trying to pay or cajole governments into actually voiding those rights) and then get upset when other people do the same to their rights.
All from an industry that moved thousands of miles away so as to avoid what they felt was a totally unfair and restrictive patent system, so they could turn around and impose an equally unfair and restrictive copyright system.
That sort of hubris, hyprocrisy, and arrogance is not even close to deserving of respect, but merely both of my middle fingers raised high in salute.
For editor's choice on the insightful side, we head to our post about the RIAA trying to have its pre-1972 recording cake and eat it too. There were two comments on that post expanding on key related issues and exposing the broken thinking behind so much of copyright law. First up, PaulT on the fact that retroactive copyright changes make no sense:
It's my opinion that copyright changes should never be applied retroactively. If the argument is that copyright encourages or even enables work to be created in the first place, then clearly the copyright terms in force at the time of creation were sufficient. The work wouldn't exist to argue over in the first place if the artist required today's copyright laws to create it.perhaps decades after his death - is just wrong.
This is, of course, not the RIAA's argument, but they can't just come out and admit that they want to be able to collect huge sums of money for decades after an artist's death no matter when the recording took place. They have to play word games to pretend they have the moral high ground.
As ever, "fairness" means "letting corporations make as much as possible" rather than anything that actually benefits a living human being not on the RIAA's board.
Next, it's Ninja making the related point that paying people for decades-old work at all doesn't make much sense to begin with:
So we are talking about songs that are at least 45 years old, right?
Funny they talk about fairness. I don't see old engineers being paid continuously because structures were made based on their projects. In fact, I have yet to see a dead engineer whose estate still receives money for his/her work. You can replace engineer with any profession.
Professionals usually earn money because they put their work, effort, sweat into it. Constantly.
There's no reason for a 45+ yr-old song not to be in the Public Domain.
Over on the funny side, we start out with our challenge to "find the fib" in some NSA statements. DannyB won first place for funny with a highly appropriate reaction to this scavenger hunt:
That's like searching for a needle in a needlestack. Therefore, we need to collect all metadata.
Meanwhile, the internet was abuzz this week after a bizarre discovery about Kate Mulgrew aka Captain Janeway aka that terrifying prison cook (just one more thing — aka Mrs. Columbo). She had (accidentally) lent her voice to a trailer for a documentary promoting geocentrism aka stupidity, leading G Thompson to question how such a thing was possible for anyone with a little fame:
What celebrity would ever accept this stupid theory? Of course they all know that THEY are the absolute center of the universe.
For editor's choice on the funny side, we start with Digger, who responded to General Mills' attempts to rope customers into bizarre legal agreements just for buying their product by drafting his own license agreement:
States the following, and I tape it to every box of cereal that I eat.
By allowing my CELA to stick to your box, you, the cereal provider, agree to the following terms.
My agreement supersedes any and all previous agreements. My agreement can never be superseded, ever, even if forced to sign a new contract while someone holds a nuke over my head, my agreement will still be valid and enforceable over yours.
My agreement allows me to sue you for over 1 quadrillion dollars if I so much as bite my cheek while chewing on your cereal, or burn my tongue if I overheat my coffee that I drink while eating your cereal.
My agreement holds your corporate officers and board members fiscally and legally responsible for any and all effects of using your cereal and any activities taken while eating said cereal, no limitations apply.
My agreement says that you owe me $1000.00 per bite of your cereal that I eat just to suffer through the crap you put in it.
And finally, we've got a simple answer to a simple question. We asked if you'd trust the NSA's advice on fixing Heartbleed; an anonymous commenter replied:
Short answer: No
Long answer : Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Indeed. That's all for this week foooooooolks!

Are You Ready for Silliness Today? Donald Trump and Gloria Allred conduct dueling mid-week press conferences.
I swear, today's going to be like wandering into the Ink & Paint Club and stumbling upon two cartoon ducks playing dueling pianos.
Donald Trump's Donald, I guess…because Gloria Allred sure is Daffy.
We now know that all Gloria's got is some attention-seeking woman who is still bitter about her divorce twenty-five years ago…and she wants the gag order lifted off the divorce so she can talk about how Mitt Romney is her husband's friend and somehow he helped "screw her over" in the divorce settlement. The woman got a hefty $5 million settlement back in the day (which would be about $13 million in today's dollars) but blew it all on attorneys' fees trying to renegotiate the divorce every two years ever since. Oh, and she's also been living in a $5,000 a month rental unit in the most expensive part of New York City she could find. And, yet, she cries about not having any money left.
It's still a mystery what The Donald is going to play on his piano for us today, though.
The rumor is that it's just the divorce papers that Michelle had drawn up in 2000 when she threatened to leave Barack because he was not keeping his part of the deal and making her rich. Remember, she agreed to marry him and be his beard to cover up for him being gay because his promise would be that he'd make a lot of money and take her places in high society. She wanted to be the Senator's wife…or the Governor's wife…or First Lady of the United States. After he lost his bid for Bobby Rush's seat in Congress, Michelle thought she'd married the wrong gay black man and was probably really jealous of Jada Pinkett Smith.
I don't think the divorce papers have anything in them related to Obama being gay, or describing his Bathhouse Barry antics…but maybe they do. Michelle is unstable and if she did this on her own without Jesse Jackson's counsel, she might have insisted on being nasty and mean-spirited in those papers. It seems to be her default approach to life. Lawyers will end up putting whatever you want into filings if a client really insists on something, by the way. I've gone after a few cyberstalkers that I acquired in the last few years and as a client I essentially said what I wanted in the complaints against these people…and the lawyers then took my rough drafts and just filled in all the legal jargon and put it into the correct format for filing. I bet Michelle did this too, if she really put divorce papers together. She may have been angry enough to put all sorts of personal things in there. People get very emotional when they finally take the steps to sue someone for something.
I don't know how Trump would have gotten his hands on this, though.
I'm still hoping he does something with Obama's college transcripts or his applications to Columbia and Harvard where he identified himself as an Indonesian citizen in order to gain admission and financial aid as a foreign student (since he did not have the grades to qualify otherwise and needed this supercharged affirmative action boost to get in). THAT would be interesting.
I guess we'll know soon what's going to happen from both of the cartoon ducks who intend to entertain us today.
UPDATE: Ha! It is about the transcripts. Good on Trump.
Trump offered $5 million to a charity of Bathhouse Barry's choice if he asks Columbia and Harvard to release his college applications and if he also releases his passport records. The deadline for compliance is Halloween.
What would be REALLY fun is if Trump already had the applications and would release them on November 1st if Obama didn't do it himself. It would be a lot of fun if Trump had a second act to this…because otherwise, why bother with the Halloween deadline?

[This is our review of the second 30 Rock episode that aired the night of January 14th. Click over to our review of "Klaus and Greta" for our thoughts on that episode.]
The second installment of 30 Rock Thursday night kept the focus on the internal workings of "TGS," which offered up mixed results. Perhaps it was because it immediately followed such a sidesplitting half-hour, but "Black Light Attack!" didn't have the same comedic appeal. There were some funny moments to be sure, but overall the episode was lacking. Tracy did in fact add a woman to the entourage, and this turned out to be Sue, the Scandanavian writer on "TGS."
Sue has been a great go to for some quick hitting writer's room bits, but she was less successful in this expanded role. Let's say, she's no Lutz. The concept was clever enough, as Tracy became the father figure and Sue went through stages of adolescent rebellion. But the character of Sue was just too one-dimensional to make the story anything more than cute. Along the same lines, Jenna auditioning for the role of a mother on Gossip Girl was fairly one note. Jenna is vain, we know this. The story didn't really move beyond that and the jokes, though decent, never went beyond the expected. Well, except for Liz's mustache.
The major storyline of episode number two also had its faults. Jack thought he had a new man's man to hang out with in new cast member Danny, but Jack soon figured out that Danny was fooling around with Liz. Jack's black light attack of the episode's title was a great way to prove the affair. In Jack's mind, the two situations were incompatible, and the pair began to battle for Danny's attention. There were some great lines from this set-up, included Liz's "Women are allowed to get angrier than men about double standards."
And how could you not laugh at Jack's line after discovering a CHiPs sketch prop in Liz's office: "This badge is a symbol of dignity, honor, and dramatized 1970s inter-ethnic California daytime motorcycle highway justice." But the weak link in the story was Danny. Though having appeared in several episodes now, there's still very little to Danny, making it harder for Liz and Jack to play off the character.
It was nice to get a hint at Jack's platonic crush on Liz when he lied to Danny about being in love with her. You could tell he meant most of the things he was saying about her, while Liz acted like her normal, nerdy self. But still, "Black Light Attack!" was a weaker episode, hurt even more by the fact that it followed such a hilarious laugh-fest in "Klaus and Greta."

Discussion in 'BlackHat Lounge' started by toxtom, Jan 25, 2010.
Any1 knows if I can tech these suckers to talk?
I don't know, my aunt had a gray-and-red one, and that bird knew all the 'good' words
Try to find out what kinds of birds they are and then just wikipedia it.
Wiki knows all
you cant teach budgies to talk, but it will be hard since you have four of them and they
will readily bond with each other first befor they bond with you.
Also notice that the will not talk like a parrot.
the tones will be ways softer to pick up and a little harder to understand.
feel free to ask anymore questions
lol I have a blue one. I actually just got a dog yesterday =]
Purebred American Eskimo
they are known as budgies or parakeets to most americans
Yeh, budgerigars have the ability to imitate the human voice. My father in law
breeds them. It's like a natural mechanism in them for keeping in contact with
their own flock and habitat rather like pinging, they make a familiar sound and see how
they takes to get a reply that's why they repeat themselves.
i feel bad for your neighbor if you live in an apartment
You CAN teach them to talk.
WHOOPS A DAISES ahaha
house. But yeah it would be cool if they would say something like that one
My snake would love them
They're cute!
But if you're gonna try to teach them something, why not teach them how to click lol....they could fly to various wi-fi hotspots, surf your sites, and you can have your own army of Click Budgies.
/word to the noobs - just a joke, don't screw around with click fraud, you'll get banned eventually
// jeez I feel like a tool for that disclaimer, but after some idiotic threads I've seen lately I feel obliged....
Any way, cute birds - a friend of mine's husband dislikes their birds, and whenever she goes out of town on business, when she gets back they're all saying things like "back in the cage!" and "quit flying around dammit".
Here's a good guide to teaching a budgie to talk. My aunt had one she taught to talk. Any bird with a Curved beek can be taught.
Aren't they on the wrong side of the wires?
i use to have them. i dont think they could talk. well mine never did or maybe because they were young.
They whistle when there done. (but i would take there temp to be sure)

Last summer my wonderful husband bought two tickets to see our favorite singer, Duncan Sheik, on February 14, 2009 in McKinney. If you are not sure who that is, here is his most popular song.
Not only was it incredibly exciting to be on the 4th row, just a few feet away from our favorite singer, but there was a great surprise in the beginning of the concert. One of my favorite female vocalists was there touring with him. I would have known this if I had done research before the concert, but I didn't. I just knew it would be Duncan Sheik and one of the cast members from his musical, "Spring Awakening." His musical won like 7 Tony Awards, by the way. :) You should check it out.
Anyway, back to the female vocalist whom I adore. Her name is Holly Brook and I randomly discovered her on Myspace 3 years ago. I would go to her Myspace page and listen to the three songs posted on there over and over while I worked in my room. I bought her album and have loved it ever since. Here is the song she performed last night.
During the concert I was praying, "God please let me meet Holly." haha I guess he thought I should because I did get to meet her!!! Joel and I waited around after the show and she came out! She shook my hand and we took a picture together! It was so exciting. My heart was pounding. I have never met anyone famous before. I know she isn't widely known, but to me she is extremely famous.
I highly recommend going to see Duncan Sheik in concert. It was the best concert Joel and I have been to, by far. He is an amazing performer and incredibly nice guy. He had an orchestra comprised of a french horn player, clarinet player and a cellist. They were all incredible and flawless. He also had Holly on harmony, piano and synthesizer; an amazing guitarist, a bassist, and a drummer. Duncan played about 7 different guitars throughout the show, and he tuned each one when he picked it up. It was so great to see ACTUAL musicians perform after what we witnessed with the Grammy Awards...yikes.
We look forward to Duncan's next musical, "Whisper House" about a little boy who goes to stay in his aunt's haunted lighthouse.

Breezy drew this lettering based on Psalm 111:1 with chalk on a framed chalkboard.
In the kitchen, near The Thankful Tree.
"Praise the Lord!
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart,
in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
Great are the works of the Lord,
studied by all who delight in them.
Full of splendor and majesty is His work,
and His righteousness endures forever."
—Psalm 111:1-3
Have a most joyous and blessed Thanksgiving!
P.S. I would love to know what you are thankful for – feel free to share with me in a comment!
16 November 2012
Autumn is such a beautiful season – the colors, the weather, etc. More than that, though, it is beautiful to see people give thanks, counting how many ways God has blessed them. And for each and everyone of us living and breathing, that list is unending.
One way we display reminders to cultivate a thankful heart is with The Thankful Tree. This year instead of scrapbook paper we are using wooden chalkboard tags.
For assembling, all you need is:
• Sticks
• Wooden Chalkboard Tags (make your own with wood slices and chalk paint or buy them already made)
• Chalk (you can sharpen the chalk with a pencil sharpener)
• Scissors
• Glass Jar – gallon (shown) or half-gallon
• Assorted Nuts, for extra beauty
• Burlap and/or Ribbon, for extra beauty
• Thankful Heart ("I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart…")
"Oh give thanks to the Lord; call upon His name;
make known His deeds among the peoples!
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
tell of all His wondrous works!"
—1 Chronicles 16:8-9
Are you building a Thankful Tree this year? What blessings will you be etching on the ornaments?

Our grapevines are covered in ripe fruit! There's nothing like sun-warmed concord grapes straight off the vine. Soon we'll be turning these delicious clusters into grape jelly, sweetened with coconut sugar.
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing."
—John 15:4-5

Below Counter H2o Filter - Section of a Workable, Satisfying Family members KitchenIf the residence is just about anything like mine, then your kitchen area could be the hub of virtually all family members action. The litter designed by counter-top rated appliances, foodstuff, dishes, ingesting Eyeglasses, faculty textbooks, papers, and many others., can make it tricky to get pleasure from a satisfying, workable kitchen area. This is why I took a vital action toward clearing the muddle by putting in an under counter h2o filter. It is really one much less item on my counter-top rated that I have to continually fuss with.
H2o purification has constantly been a priority inside our household. At first, it absolutely was since we didn't like the flavor and smell with the drinking water that arrived outside of our faucet. Even so, right after expending a fortune on bottled h2o delivery, I started to study house drinking water procedure techniques. There have been so many water filtration goods that you can buy I necessary to dig deeper right before I pulled out my wallet.
There have been a good amount of below counter h2o filter systems, and also counter-leading, shower and full dwelling appliances. Some were being dependant on reverse osmosis, while others used a water distillation process.
I didn't want another equipment sitting down on my kitchen area counter, so I narrowed my lookup to less than counter water filters.
But I necessary to do more exploration to locate the greatest filtration approach for my less than counter drinking water filter.
That is After i identified that enjoyable tasting h2o was the the very least of my concerns. I acquired that water pollution is a lot more than an interesting subject that is covered during the nightly information.
The Ralph Nader Review Group issued a report immediately after completing an assessment of more than ten,000 documents secured through the Freedom of knowledge Act. This thorough overview confirmed that "U.S. drinking drinking water includes greater than two,one hundred toxic chemical compounds that can result in most cancers."
I also figured out that reverse osmosis and distillation have some handicaps when it came to filtering out selected contaminants. The size in the molecules which make up specified natural substances and bacterial cysts implies they can allow it to be from the filtering course of action and into your h2o.
Just so you realize, this deficiency can be fixed Along with the addition of a carbon filter. On the other hand, I did not want to obtain to buy One more equipment to support the under counter h2o filter equipment. Far more clutter (not to mention, more expenditure and headache...)!
Right after checking out all the different less than counter drinking water filters, and Studying with regards to their pros and cons, I at last settled upon a multi-stage filtration less than counter water filter.
Multi-stage filtration is really an up-and-coming technological innovation that filters out a large the vast majority of chemical toxins, odor-producing sediments, and higher levels of chlorine.
There may be also a well being reward to multi-phase filtration: it leaves wholesome mineral material untouched. So you and your family members not merely get the benefits of water that safe and clean, but wholesome too.
Oh...which is interesting! The business that I acquired the equipment from manufactured an instructional online video, watchable from their Internet site, for installing the under counter drinking water filter equipment. It absolutely was so easy to understand and abide by. It barely took any time in any respect.
The better part is the fact that I have a workable, pleasing spouse and children kitchen area, with considerably less muddle and more info much more usefulness. All this courtesy of my less than counter h2o filter.

I'm a colorful
portrait, product & pet photographer.
My name is Teresa Hendrix Daniel, but you can call me T. I'm a Memphis photographer, social media guru, designer, wife, Ole Miss alum & mom to the cutest rescue dog in the world! Her name is Tracy Rene (the first initial runs in the family, mind you).
People tell me that my photos are colorful, and this girl considers that a high compliment. The clearest whites and truest colors are the name of my Instagram game and any photo album I deliver. In fact, if I myself am not wearing pink or some other happy color, you should probably ask me if I'm feeling alright. Chances are I'm just sporting my LBL (little black dress) to shoot a wedding or some other fancy shindig, but even then you might catch me in some pink velvet slip-ons or blush suede slides.
So that's my story and I'm sticking to it. There's more on my blog, and I hope you'll visit!

Adventures in Drug Smuggling: Cocaine Truffles and Bacon-Scented Heroin
View attachment 14885 See that picture? See the white stuff inside the broken-open truffle? Yeah, that's cocaine.
In what has to be one of the more innovative schemes for getting Bolivian Marching Powder through customs, Robert Lopera, carried about 15 pounds (yeah, pounds) of blow inside (what I'll assume were fake) Ferrero Rocher chocolates and pistachio shells, according to the Customs and Border Protection officials who nabbed him coming into New York from Medellin, Colombia. And while yes, smuggling drugs is wrong and bad and illegal and all that, seriously, how's that for thinking outside the box, right? Also, Lopera gets big irony points for putting his nose candy inside actual candy.
You can read the details on the story over at the NBC New York website, but while you're here, how 'bout a run-down of some of the other (though, honestly, less creative) ways people have tried to smuggle drugs in food?
Yeah, I thought you'd be interested.
1) Spiked Burrito, Santa Fe, New Mexico:
In 2006, a woman was caught trying to smuggle heroin into the Rio Arriba county jail by putting it inside a burrito. Oh, but the best part? She already had the H loaded up into a syringe and just wrapped the whole works up inside the tortilla.
2) Tacos con Aguja, Texarkana, Arkansas:
In another jailhouse scheme, a corrections officer at the Miller County jail was caught bringing in syringes inside tacos and marijuana in chili. How'd he get caught? Dude goes out for pizza at 3am, brings it back to the jail, then, twenty minutes later, comes back again with a big-ass bag full of tacos and chili. Needless to say, this made his sergeant somewhat suspicious--what with the guy acting like a stoned college student and all--so he opened the bag and, lo and behold, found bricks of mary jane underneath the chili and needles in the tacos. Oh, and also a bunch of crystal meth in the guys pockets.
View attachment 14887 3) Sky Chefs, Miami, Florida:
In 1999, "Operation Ramp Rats" led to the charging of 58 people with various crimes after a sting put fake cocaine, guns and hand grenades on airplanes moving through Miami International Airport. Most of those charged were either American Airlines baggage handlers or employees of Sky Chefs--a company that supplies food for airlines. And while the baggage handler portion of the conspiracy might seem obvious, it's the Sky Chef angle that impressed me because they were hiding pounds of heroin inside the coffee filters used to brew java while in flight. According to a report on CNN, "Heroin was literally found in coffee packages that had been placed aboard the airplane in Colombia and flown (to the United States)," Scott said. "Based upon that, it became obvious to law enforcement officers that either Sky Chef or American was involved in (drug) distribution."
4) Roast Chicken with all the trimmings:
Okay, for starters, it's illegal to bring most foods into the country if you've been overseas. It's particularly illegal to bring a roast chicken stuffed with cocaine. Or six boxes of powdered soup mix also full of cocaine. Or a whole smoked monkey. The monkey didn't have any cocaine in it, but still... Pretty gross.
5) As if babies on planes weren't annoying enough, Chicago, Illinois:
An international ring of mother and grandmothers used baby formula cans to smuggle cocaine into the country. But because it looks kinda weird for some twitchy, sweating mule to be carrying a dozen cans of baby food but no baby, the group also used rented children to make things look more legit. Because everyone knows how much babies like cocaine.
6) One thing scarier than a giant squid? A GIANT SQUID FULL OF COCAINE!
This is just awesome: Peruvian police seize 1540 pounds of pepper-coated cocaine bricks hidden inside a frozen giant squid headed for Mexico and the United States.
7) Amazing what science can teach you, Austin, Texas:
In 2006, a can of Pringles was confiscated during a drug bust. And what was found inside when the officers went for a little snack? Crack cookies! Well, actually just plain old crack cocaine, cut into thin disks and packed inside the potato chip can. Maybe Pringles should co-opt that "No one can eat just one" slogan...
8) Everything--no, EVERYTHING--is better with bacon, Kent, UK:
Philip Tasker loved bacon. Philip Tasker also loved heroin. I think you can guess where this is going. Tasker was picked up by UK Border Control agents down by the docks. When they searched his Citroen van, what did they find? Boxes and boxes full of bacon. That's not illegal.
What is illegal is stuffing those boxes with three million pounds' (the money, not the weight) worth of heroin. What no one knows is how much bacon went to waste in the course of this smuggling operation. Sad...

London: New Delhi has been ranked 25th among the world's 'Most Fun' cities with Germany's capital Berlin topping the survey.
New Delhi, the only Indian city to make the top 25 cut, was chosen among over 1,800 cities surveyed across the globe.
The Indian capital ranked high for its sports clubs, shopping and bars in 'The Ultimate Fun City Ranking' report commissioned by 'GetYourOwnGuide' and 'GoEuro' travel firms.
The two firms compiled data based on 11 factors such as nightlife, average beer price and entertainment options to define what exactly makes a city fun for travellers of different age groups and interests.
Of the total 1,830 cities, Berlin topped the rankings for its all-round attractiveness of bars and museums, followed by London, Paris, New York and Tokyo completing the top 5.
"New Delhi scored well across the board, which earned it 25th place out of the 25 most fun cities. On a more unorthodox section, Bangkok came out top for adult entertainment, followed closely behind by Tokyo," Berlin-based GoEuro said in a statement.
"Our people (from 23 countries) are a reflection of the diversity in the problem we try to solve with technology? using technology to solve a real world problem," it added.
The online consolidated data-provider service for travellers across the European cities was founded by Indian entrepreneur Naren Shaam around two years ago.
"GoEuro is a uniform and normalised data structure for the entire European ground travel industry that serves over 19 million passengers daily across Europe," Shaam said.
By 2019, GoEuro plans to have partners in all European markets, from Portugal to Russia.

Matt Snyder, owner of High & Low Winery off Route 18 in Sharon Township, said he's pleased with the decision.
"We're very happy about that," he said. "They said they listened to the businesses' concerns. We're looking forward to partnering with them."
ODOT had proposed guardrails along the corridor between Windfall and Medina Line roads. Route 18 is bordered by Granger and Sharon townships. The proposal was aimed at reducing accidents on that stretch of highway.
Business owners expressed concerns about trucks making deliveries from the east. If there were guardrails, trucks would have to turn around at one of the intersections and travel east to businesses on the Sharon Township side of Route 18.
ODOT officials informed those in attendance at the Medina County Economic Development Corp. meeting last week about the guardrail decision.
Bethany Dentler, executive director of the Medina County Economic Development Corp., said: "We're pleased that ODOT listened to the business community and local officials who are likewise concerned with safety, but also wanted to ensure access for their employees and customers. We believe that this decision will help encourage continued business growth and development of the Route 18 corridor in accordance with the local plans that are already in place."
Among those at the meeting were state Rep. Steve Hambley, R-Brunswick; state Sen. Larry Obhof, R-Montville Township; Granger Township Trustee Richard Pace; and Sharon Township Trustee Ray Lutz.
ODOT has said it is prevented by Ohio Revised Code to reduce the speed limit on Route 18. There are a few other things it can do to promote safety, including rumble strips and digital speed signs.
An ODOT spokeswoman said a media release on Route 18 safety issues would be released this week.

Croxley Green church to appeal against chime ban
A village church in Hertfordshire is to contest an order preventing its bells from chiming at night.
All Saints Church in Croxley Green has been told by Three Rivers District Council to stop its clock chiming between 23:00 BST and 07:00 BST.
The church has decided to fight the noise abatement order and said it would lodge an appeal next week.
The notice was served in September after a resident complained the chimes were keeping them awake at night.
Although the bells only have to be silent overnight, the church said the mechanism is such that they have had to be turned off completely.
The bells had chimed on the hour, every hour, for 140 years, the church said.

This is stemming from the thread about equal pay, just because I thought it was an interesting point of debate.
If both you and your partner are working outside the home, when your child/children are sick, who takes the day off to take care of them? Why?

A French port city on the Algerian coast, where the story takes place. It is a very ordinary city-some would even call it ugly-and its citizens are often described as living with too little imagination and too many habits. A massive plague epidemic descends on the city and its gates are locked, imprisoning its citizens and sealing the city off from the outside world.
These are first inhabitants of Oran to catch the plague. People in the city know something is wrong when thousands of them die every day, so many that a special collection service has to drag away truckloads of them every morning.

Entries are full of quirky observations that Tarrou keeps while living in Oran. The Narrator uses many of the details to reconstruct the story he tells.

It's hard to avoid Magma on the bloomin' Android Market. Recently I've reviewed Bubble Blast 2 and Connect'Em Halloween, both of which were pretty good.
Now it's time for a spot of pinball, with the appropriately titled, er, Pinball. Will it impress as much as the aforementioned, or will it drag Magma's average score down like an unwanted and not-very-good third child?
Pinball claims to have been the first pinball game on the Android Market. Of course, that's no longer the case. Search for "pinball" and you'll find a couple of dozen more. I'm not sure why that's relevant. Let's move on quickly.
So what's in the box? Seven tables to be precise, of decidedly varying quality. There's Bowling, Underwater (in which the ball is stupidly the same colour as much of the background), Android land (with various nods to the OS, such as smilies and a YouTube logo), Sixties, and Christmas tree (meh).
One of my favourites is Soccer, which is essentially table football with pinball controls. Each time you knock the ball through the gap in the top of the table, you score a goal.
Invaders is pretty good too. There are some Space Invader-style ships in the middle of the screen, and you have to rattle your pinball off of them to blow them up. Good times.
However, there are a few things that trouble me about Pinball. First of all, there's not much going on in the tables. Unless you're out to set a high score, there's little reason to come back for more.
There's also the age old problem of pinball randomness. Sometimes, through no fault of your own, you'll launch a ball only to have it immediately ricochet off something and fall down one of the gaps. Indeed, it's not uncommon to have it happen to several balls in a row. Not so good times.
Finally – and this is probably the worst of all – the flippers all too often get stuck. Looking at the comments on the Android Market, this has been a problem for a good few months, possibly caused by an update. That's pretty unforgiveable, really. Imagine a racing game where the brakes intermittently fail.
So, Pinball. Not completely terrible, but not great either.
- Several tables
- Global high scores
- It's free
- Ads
- Not a whole lot going on
- The flippers stick
Summary: Flipper problem aside, Pinball is ok. If you're familiar with pinball games, you'll know exactly what to expect. It's… fine.
Developer: Magma
Requires: Android 1.5 or above.
Price: free @ Android Market

To sharpen the line you can use a lip pencil, to let the color more pop, you can use a little bit concealer on your skin next to the lipstick.

How Can I Repurpose IKEA's Expedit Shelves?
Q: I have a large IKEA bookcase (Expedit series) that I purchased in Germany. The connecting dowels were lost in the move back to the U.S. and I now cannot assemble it. I'd rather repurpose the shelves than chuck it, but have no ideas. I'm wondering if you all could put the idea up to your followers? Thanks so much!

Cold Journey
Top of page
A feature drama about an Indigenous youth attemping to find a place for himself. It tells of the cultural shock of an educational system that teaches him to be a white man, and of his attempts to discover a way of life more meaningful to his Indigenous culture and ancestry. It is a tragic story of unexpected pitfalls and disillusionment that are as cruel as the bitter wind that greets him on his cold and lonely journey. The film stars Buckley Petawabano, Johnny Yesno and Chief Dan George, and was shot on location with the people of Indian reserves and schools in northern Saskatchewan and Manitoba.

The Lakers officially waved goodbye to two free agents Saturday — one they hoped to get, the other they hoped to keep.
Carmelo Anthony was very close to returning to New York, Pau Gasol elected to move to Chicago, and the Lakers were bystanders.
The Lakers courted Anthony with two things they thought none of his suitors could match — 16 championships and the promise of Hollywood — but the player who was born in the projects of Brooklyn, won an NCAA championship at Syracuse and ultimately forced a trade to the Knicks from Denver in 2011 couldn't turn his back on New York. He was reportedly closing in on a deal late Saturday night.
Gasol said no to two substantial offers from the Lakers — three years and $29 million or two years and $23 million — because he wanted to play for a more championship-caliber team, and Saturday picked Chicago.
"It hasn't been easy," Gasol said Saturday on Twitter. "After meditating it a lot I've chosen to play with the Chicago Bulls. Looking forward to this new chapter of my career."
The Lakers knew which way the wind was blowing on Friday with Gasol and Anthony, and in a flurry acquired Jeremy Lin in a trade before re-signing Nick Young and Jordan Hill.
While the pursuit of Anthony might be hard to remember in coming years, the departure of Gasol will be difficult to forget.
He played on two championship teams and helped resuscitate the Lakers after being acquired in February 2008 from Memphis with the expiring contract of Kwame Brown as the key piece.
He made his mark with the Lakers as a prolific post player, showing off his sharp mid-range shot and top-notch passing skills.
One person who won't be happy with Gasol's departure: Kobe Bryant.
They worked next to each other for three trips to the NBA Finals.
Several times in the last few years, as the championship glitter started wearing off an aging roster, Bryant vouched for Gasol through the media, trying to publicly nix any trade deals before they happened.
Just last season, he appealed to Lakers management through reporters, saying, "I want Pau here. It's not even a question. It's not even a discussion."
Forgetting for a moment all the persistent trade rumors, including the one that turned out to be true for Chris Paul before it was vetoed by David Stern in 2011, Gasol often found himself in a tug-of-war between his desire to be in the post and the perimeter-oriented schemes of former coach Mike D'Antoni's small-ball offense.
The back-and-forth sometimes played out in the media and ended when Gasol was hit with vertigo that sidelined him 12 games toward the end of last season.
At his exit meeting in April, Gasol acknowledged having "misunderstandings" with D'Antoni the last two years but pledged to listen closely if the Lakers called in July with a contract offer.
When it became apparent a few days ago that Anthony wouldn't be joining the Lakers, it became harder for them to retain Gasol. A meeting with Lakers executives earlier this week was basically termed a "farewell dinner" by one person familiar with it.
Gasol was fine on offense last season, averaging 17.4 points, but slow on defense.
And yet he deserves recognition for being the last one standing among the presumed big three of Bryant, Steve Nash and himself. Bryant played all of six games last season and Nash a not-much-better 15 games.
The Lakers tried to appeal to Anthony with a savvy presentation showing how he could build a brand in Los Angeles, a pitch that included a four-minute trailer created by blockbuster movie producer Joel Silver.
But Anthony, 30, was ready to take more money with the Knicks than the Lakers could pay him (an extra $33 million on a five-year deal) and gave Phil Jackson a chance at deploying his vision as team president.
In other NBA news Saturday, forward Gordon Hayward, a restricted free agent, will return to the Utah Jazz, while the Memphis Grizzlies agreed to terms with veteran free-agent swingman Vince Carter.
The Cleveland Cavaliers, one day after landing four-time MVP LeBron James, acquired center Brendan Haywood and forward Dwight Powell from Charlotte for guard Scotty Hopson and cash considerations.

The new Insurance and Bonding Law (published on December 19 2014), which implements the Solvency II requirements in Mexico, came into effect on April 4 2015, along with the new Sole Regulation on Insurance and Bonding.
Although the National Insurance and Bonds Commission (CNSF) has announced that some of the quantitative aspects of the new law and regulations will gradually come into effect through 2015, insurers must now comply with the new requirement to file periodic regulatory reports using certain forms and templates, which consolidate information that was previously submitted to the CNSF through individual reports.
The new periodic regulatory reports and respective filing dates are set out in the table below.
