NATCHEZ — Adams County's taxpayers now own property that went from being a robust industrial site to a big economic letdown.
County officials signed the paperwork Thursday to close the real estate deal transferring the title of the 478-acre former International Paper mill property from Rentech to Adams County for $9.25 million.
The county entered into a contract to purchase the property in March.
Rentech had purchased the land in 2008 with the announced intentions of building a coal-to-liquids fuel plant that would have created 400 jobs. However, the company later scrapped those plans because of cost concerns.
International Paper operated a mill on the site from 1948 until 2003. County officials tell the Natchez Democrat they hope to bring industry back to the site.
The paper mill closed when IP phased out production at the Natchez plant because of poor market demand for the products made at the facility. County officials hope the land can be sold to new industrial developers.
Natchez Inc. executive director Chandler Russ said the site's positioning along the Mississippi River and the infrastructure available on it — including an industrial wastewater processing plant — make it the best site on the river for industrial recruitment.
"The supervisors and the citizens of Adams County should really be commended, because this is a bold step, a meaningful step and it is one that has been taken with the utmost consideration, the utmost time and the utmost thought involved," he said. "Looking at the future of Adams County, it is truly going to be a remarkable piece of property and piece of infrastructure that we are going to market as vigorously as humanly possible."

I believe that our universe is but one of an infinite number of parallel universes.
I believe in the First Law of Thermodynamics, which states, in part, that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed in a closed system.
I therefore believe that there is a parallel universe where magicians begin their act by putting a rabbit in a hat and it disappears.
I cannot prove this, but I believe it to be true.
Call it a lepus of faith.

|Surprisingly easy to cook from scratch, this traditional Egyptian dish, made with Split Fava Beans, is delicious as a snack or meze.
Authentic Egyptian falafels (or more accurately ta'amia) are made with split fava beans instead of chickpeas. Unlike many others, our recipe is both gluten free and vegan – it contains no eggs, flour or breadcrumbs.
Makes 16 to 24 falafels for 8 generous portions
Good recipe – used a dried chilli, and herbs with fresh mint as that is what I had in store – absolutely fab, taste and texture ☺ Thank you
I had Ta'amia, in Cairo, many years ago and I am positive they were with a yoghurt sauce. It was white and more liquid than tahini sauce. These are fantastic snacks and quite filling when in a small pita with salad. The Egyptians also cook them with minced meat and small eggs (bantam/pigeon/quail???) inside.
I forgot…the fried aubergine was tasty in the salatat pitta/falafel but hard to cook well without ending up saturated in oil. The most flavoursome pitta was lightly charred over a flame. If you want a taste similar to popcorn as a coating toast sesame seeds in a dry pan and add salt. Absolute heaven. The staple use for fava beans in Egypt is fool. It is stewed and thick (usually purchased from a travelling vendor with a donkey & cart rather than home made due to fuel costs). It certainly sticks to the ribs and is an acquired taste. It is eaten with plain bread. The easiest recipe of the week prize has to go to mulakhiya (Jews mallow). After picking and drying the leaf it looks like green tea when it is crumbled up. Put it in boiling water and it turns into a slimy gloop similar to okra that the poor eat with plain bread; another staple diet.
Egyptians also eat them in lightly charred pitta with salatat (lettuce, tomato, salt & oil). Put humous and or garlic or garlic mayonnaise or garlic oil with chillies into that and you have a fantastic main course; a kings' feast of goodness. In Egypt salt is imperative. Yinbisit habibi.
Hi Susan. Sorry the recipe wasn't clear (I've clarified it now) – you need to use 500g dried Split Fava Beans.
Do you mean 500gm of dry fava beans , which are then soaked, or 500 gm of wet fava beans?
We have made these a number of times and can honestly say that they are the best ones we have tasted – thank you
Egyptians will never ever eat Falafel with yogurt sauce ….they will always eat it with TAHINA sauce …
I was wondering if it is possible to make these and then freeze them? If so, would you freeze them in their raw form, or once fried, and cooled? I am trying to make some things that we can store in the freezer and take out as and when. If they are suitable for freezing, would they be able to go in the oven straight from frozen? Finally, when fresh how long would they stay fresh for if kept in an airtight container? Thank you

Reach is a strategic movement of Blackhawk Church to multiply the effects of the Gospel, starting here and spreading throughout the world. Through Reach, our desire is to be fully engaged in how God calls the Church to meet ever-changing and growing needs.
- February 2020: Our Reach Celebration was an offering of tremendous thanks to God, to everyone who gave generously to this campaign, and everyone who has volunteered over the past seven years to make Fitchburg the church home it has become. One of the many highlights was the recognition that just since opening our doors to the new building in the last few months, we have seen about a 30% increase in attendance among both adults and children. That means more people taking next steps and lives being transformed. While the campaign is coming to an end, are as excited as ever about reaching our community with the love of Jesus.
- January 2020: We enjoyed an open house and ribbon cutting ceremony. It's great to see the community getting comfortable in this building and imagining what God can do here.
- December 2019: We've opened our doors and enjoyed an amazing Christmas together in our new space. There's a lot of excitement in our church and community. We welcomed 1,000 more people to our Christmas services in Fitchburg than we hosted last year. God is doing great things.
- November 2019: Construction is coming to close and finishing touches are being applied. We look forward to opening our doors in time for Christmas.
- Spring 2019: Construction is progressing quickly both outside and inside the building. Roofing is almost complete, and progress continues on pouring concrete floors, installing duct work, framing (interior), and installing windows, plumbing, and electrical.
- December 2018: The first walls went up on the building. Things are starting to take shape!
- August 2018: Construction on the building began! We are told construction will likely last around 12 months. The building will include:
- An auditorium that seats roughly 700 for worship services and other events
- Plenty of space for Blackhawk Kids! The children's area can accommodate roughly 300 children
- A large, open gathering area for people to connect before or after Sunday services
- Site plans, floor plans and renderings are available to download (PDF)
- December 2017: We closed on the land for the future home of Blackhawk Fitchburg. The property is located on Seminole Highway, north of Lacy Road. (Map of Site)
Groundbreaking, vision casting, and prayer
Progress, exploring the space, and praise
Five Churches
Fitchburg Update
We are so thankful for the many congregations across the city who share a dedication to the Gospel. Some of those churches are working in neighborhoods that we aren't currently reaching, and we want to see them continue to flourish. That's why we set aside a portion of the funds given to the Reach Initiative to invest in an established church or churches in the city.
- In 2017, we began investing Reach funds in Zion City Church, which was meeting in the Allied Drive neighborhood at the time. Over time, relationships grew between Zion City and Blackhawk, and Pastor Colier McNair of Zion City began to think differently about how to fulfill the calling of their church. As Colier and the church's leaders came to recognize that Zion City and Blackhawk share similar visions and values, they approached us to become part of the Blackhawk Church family. That transition happened in January 2019. This was not part of the original plan, but God has done more than we can ask or think through this partnership. Praise God!
- The remaining Reach funds that were earmarked for Zion City have been redistributed to five local churches who are doing amazing work and effectively reaching areas of our city that we are not.
Lighthouse Church
Lighthouse Church, pastored by Marcio Sierra, Jr
- Started in 1994 | 25 years of ministry in the city
- Lighthouse Church is an international church with bilingual services in English and Spanish. God is leading many people to Lighthouse from the international community in Madison, especially men, women and families from Latin America.
- Investments from Reach will be used by Lighthouse Church to make needed building renovations and to address a staffing need for an assistant pastor who will help with life groups and outreach. A portion of the funds may also be used for leadership development and benevolence.
Mt. Zion Baptist Church
Mt. Zion Baptist Church, pastored by Marcus Allen
- Started in 1911 | 108 years of ministry in the city
- Mt. Zion is a Bible-believing, Christ-centered church committed to lifting the community and bringing people to Christ. Mt. Zion is one of Wisconsin's oldest predominantly African American congregations and has been a staple in its southside neighborhood for decades.
- Investments from Reach will be directed to ministry programs, allowing the congregation to devote more of their congregation's donations to their mortgage, reducing it at a quicker rate.
Bethany Church
Bethany Church, pastored by David Carlson
- Started in 1906 | 113 years of ministry in the city
- Bethany plays a special role in the history of our church; both Blackhawk Church and Door Creek Church were planted from the Bethany congregation. Bridging cultures and languages has been part of Bethany's history from the start. Bethany began in 1906 with services in Norwegian. Today, they hold services in English and Lao and have a church plant that ministers in Mandarin. Bethany also supports Spanish ministry in the area. Iglesia Nueva Vida (New Life Church) has held worship services at Bethany since 2013.
- Investments from Reach will be used to hire a part-time pastor who will develop a multiethnic youth ministry for second-generation Americans. Investments will also go toward necessary building and technology improvements.
Fountain of Life
Fountain of Life, pastored by Alex Gee
- Started in 1977 | 42 years of ministry in the city
- Fountain of Life is a vibrant and growing multi-ethnic, multicultural, multi-class and multi-generational church that loves God and loves the community. Fountain of Life began as a church plant with two adults and six children meeting in a living room on the southside of Madison. Two of those six children were Pastor Alex Gee and his sister. Today, around 300 adults and children worship together on Badger Road. In 2009, Fountain of Life created a non-profit ministry, called Nehemiah, in response to the unmet social, academic and spiritual needs of at-risk and disenfranchised African American and bi-racial children in the greater Madison community.
- Investments from Reach will be put toward a part-time pastoral position. (This position is partially funded through Fountain of Life's operating budget.) The new pastor will mentor emerging Millennial leaders and train new teachers, small group leaders and white professionals on cross-cultural complexities and cultural competency.
The Faith Place
The Faith Place, pastored by Harold Rayford
- Started in 1998 | 21 years of ministry in Sun Prairie
- The Faith Place is a diverse, growing community church. Their mission is to facilitate the reconciliation of man and God, and they provide ministries designed to equip men, women and children to live abundant lives in Christ. The church has an active prison ministry, which works to enlighten inmates' lives with the Gospel and reduce recidivism.
- Investments from Reach will be used by the Faith Place to make needed building renovations and support the part-time salaries of children's ministry and technical staff.

The Pierpont Morgan Library and Annex are one of the finest neo-Italian Renaissance buildings in New York City incorporating the talents of architect, sculptor and painter. They were designed to house the extensive book, manuscript, and art collection of J. Pierpont Morgan. They represent the finest available both in use of materials and craftsmanship. Their architectural details are both refined and delicate and that the classical purity of the Library exerted a marked influence on the general development of architecture in this country at the time it was built.
The interior and exterior harmoniously work together to create a splendid showcase for Morgan's collection. The interior is particularly distinguished by the extensive ceiling murals, and the rich array of wood and marbled surfaces. The murals , which are based on Renaissance prototypes, depict themes that allude to Morgan and his collection.

Grief is a natural response to losing someone or something that's important to you. You may feel a variety of emotions, like sadness or loneliness. And you might experience it for a number of different reasons. Maybe a loved one died, a relationship ended, or you lost your job. Other life changes, like chronic illness or a move to a new home, can also lead to grief. Everyone grieves differently, but if you understand your emotions, take care of yourself, and seek support, you can heal. Your feelings may happen in different stages as you come to terms with your loss. Every person goes through these phases in his or her own way. You may go back and forth between them, or skip one or more stages altogether. Continue Reading

Perhaps focusing on building connection with your partner is one of the best things you can do for your relationship this year. Think about it: At the beginning of a relationship, we put a great deal of effort into it – going on dates and talking for hours. Then somewhere along the way, we stop doing those things and begin to run on "autopilot." Relationships thrive when we put effort into them. That's why in this blog, we're sharing a few ideas for building intimacy in your relationship.Continue Reading

Wild About You is a children's book written by Judy Sierra with pictures by Marc Brown. This book illustrates many themes, such as the struggle of wanting to start a family via adoption and how sometimes it takes a village to raise children. One important theme shown by this book is that despite looking different or coming from different backgrounds, the most important factor in adopting a new member into a family is unconditional love provided by the parents. This book also reveals the difficulties in raising a child without an support system. Without help from others, the pandas and the kangaroo would not be successful in raising their adoptive babies. This book would make an excellent tool to help children who may struggle with understanding why some families adopt, or why other families may look different from theirs.

One day, as Duncan was getting ready to color in class, he opened his box of crayons only to find a stack of written letters. One by one he opens the letters and begins to read. To his surprise the letters are from the crayons! Letter after letter, color after color, Duncan acknowledges each complaint. But what were the crayons complaining about? Each one had a feeling of being overworked , underworked,unappreciated, and/or misused. Duncan came up with a plan and decided to color one big picture using every color to its best abilities. The Picture was so unique and beautiful that Duncan's teacher gave him an A+ for creativity.
Activity: Each crayons expresses a different feeling or emotion in the book. Grab a blank paper and go over each individual crayons complaints in the book. Have a conversation with your child about what the crayon is feeling, why it feels that way, and how to resolve those feelings. Then have the child draw the emotions with that specific color or a picture of choice. You can even have them act out a time where they felt the same way, helping to build empathy.Continue Reading

So Yeezy wants his beautiful wife to stop dressing sexy because he has
finally realized that it was "Affecting My Soul" as he puts expressed in a reality T.V. video circulating around social media.
A lot of women weighed in on the matter with many of them saying that he basically got what he paid for.
With the recent surface of his "Sunday Best" choir church service type concerts,
I think Kanye is shifting into spirituality which seems to be helping him find a moral compass of his own.
I think that we have to make room for people to change or revolve when in a relationship,
but this situation is tricky because he got with her because he was attracted to the whore archetype she displayed.
Kim K's brand IS HER BODY! This is how she has made a fortune and it essentially Is her "talent" so to speak.
To require someone like her to stop doing what even brought him to her yard, would prove a disaster for business model.
He is looking for a deeper connection with his wife now.
The vixen, whore, sexy arch is played out in his mind and he finally sees it for what it is..
But honestly, I think this is a full circle for Kanye.
It's just "Jesus Walks With Me" all over again for him..
Running from who he as always been is over and he in finally getting to do music with a meaning and a spiritual base.
This fits neatly with my point about leading with your sexuality.
It gets old ladies, and for some of us , it spoils like milk.
Kim enjoyed a long run with the shenanigans, but I think she should follow her man's lead.
I think he is also sensing that she is hitting a wall now, too old for the vixen shyte and the booty must be going through changes underneath those body shapers, but he loves her.
So he's like hey: " We did that! Now I want you to be my "First Lady"
and we could ride this wave until the wheels fall off, and go to heaven when its all over..
Tell me what ya'll think about this. I'd love to hear what you ladies and gents have to say about this matter!

First appeared on Pension Funds Insider on 01/02/19
It may seem an odd question from someone who works for a communications consultancy, but the New Year is a great time to ask some challenging questions.
Communication is certainly a hot topic at the moment. The recently published Rookes Review into the British Steel Pension scheme concludes that trustees need professional help with communications, and many of the sessions at last Autumn's PLSA conference saw a focus here.
So, why all the fuss about communication? Surely members don't need to think (or do) much about their pension if the trustees and scheme managers are doing their jobs well? Auto-enrolment has addressed the challenge of encouraging people to save in the first place, and good scheme design, investment performance and governance should do the rest. Isn't it best if members just 'set and forget', leaving their retirement savings in the hands of the experts?
Research by the PPI and Columbia Threadneedle found that 94% of group personal pension members invest in the default fund, but is that such a big deal? Do we really want members tinkering with their fund choices, reacting to volatile markets and risking their future retirement income?
The recently published FCA Sector Views report highlights that 48% of members claim that they have never read their pensions statement. To be honest, I thought that the number would be much higher. But again, why does it matter? The 52% who do read their statements probably don't take any action anyway. It's just information for information's sake to be filed away in the pensions drawer.
I am being deliberately provocative, but unless we agree why member communication is important, it's unlikely that we will see a shift in attitude towards communication. If we can't articulate the benefits of effective member communication, it will always be regarded at best an optional extra and at worst a legislative burden rather than a core pillar of a successfully run pension scheme.
Here are just three reasons why communication really is important. I am sure that there are many more reasons, but it's a good start.
1. Communication increases the perceived value of an overall reward package. We recently invited a group of HR leaders to rank their employee benefits in order of cost to the organisation and perceived value by staff. The pension was ranked as the highest cost but least understood benefit. Effective communication closes the gap between scheme costs and members' perceived value of their reward package. Employee retention, productivity and advocacy are all positive outcomes of a greater awareness and appreciation of total reward.
2. Communication warns members of risks. Let's face it, most members don't spend the day contemplating the risk of running out of money in retirement, or the dangers of falling prey to a pension scam. Invariably members are not aware of these risks. Effective communication highlights risks and help reduce the likelihood of members opting out of schemes, becoming victims of pension scams because they were 'never warned'.
3. Engagement leads to action. It's impossible to engage without first communicating. A 50mph speed limit sign communicates to drivers, but a police camera van in the layby ahead engages them and leads to action! So too with pension communications, the ultimate aim is to engage members enough to trigger positive actions. Communication plays a vital part in increasing member engagement, leading to positive member outcomes.
So, next time you are grappling with the value of member communication, consider these three reasons. And if that doesn't work for you, try spending ten minutes speaking with a 60-year-old employee who opted out of the company DB scheme when he was 19 years old because he thought that pensions were for old people. And that's a true story…

Youngsters create a all-natural preference for the foods they enjoy the most, so the challenge is to make healthful alternatives appealing. The mission of this site is to educate on issues of nutrition and healthy eating For instance, our calcium calculator aids individuals determine how significantly of the advisable day-to-day allowance of calcium they require (and are getting) our ' healthful consuming quiz ' is a nutrition test and assessment tool or on the internet nutrition app beneficial for parents and teachers interested in nutrition and wellness.
What Sinne Smed and Lars Gårn Hansen, the two researchers at the University of Copenhagen's Institute of Food and Resource Economics, wanted to do was test this idea They knew that there was a body of research displaying that individuals with much less education have a tendency to consume much more saturated fats and sugars, and they wanted to figure out why.
For instance, for teenage girls clarify that a healthier diet will give them glowing skin, shiny hair and sturdy nails, give them more power to go buying with their friends and assist them concentrate so they'll carry out better in their favourite subjects at college. When trying new foods at a meal, be confident to also incorporate a meals that your kid likes.
This will typically mean that you will make unhealthy food choices, eating snack foods or quick meals. Apricots and apples come with each other in an exciting type that will make your kids go, wow!" and of course, cashewnuts add a crunch that no kid can resist. Our meals system is out of balance, favoring corporate income over the wellness of people and the atmosphere. This is an essential aspect of the Meals Pyramid's recommendations for young children.
In the Healthier, Hunger-Cost-free Children Act of 2010 (HHFKA), Congress improved the program's nutritional standards, bringing them into better alignment with present federal dietary recommendations. Healthy active living: Physical activity recommendations for children and adolescents. Young children who are far more actively involved in meals selections are a lot more probably to be interested in the food they eat. A child's physique gets all the sugar it demands from that naturally occurring in food.

Akwa Ibom state: Government to shut 1,140 illegal schools down
The Akwa Ibom State Government says it will close down over 1,140 illegal nurseries, primary and secondary schools operating in the state.
The Commissioner for Education, Nse Essien, disclosed this in Uyo, the state capital while speaking with journalists on Thursday.
Mr Essien, a professor, said the move by the government was to stem the rising cases of unapproved private schools in the state.
He expressed dismay with the way unscrupulous persons in the state were establishing schools without proper registration with relevant agencies of government.
"These schools are not approved by the Ministry of Education in the state and students are taught under unhygienic conditions where the learning environment is deplorable.
"We have in the ministry the minimum standards which must be fulfilled before opening any school in the state," Mr Essien said.
He said the ministry was going to publish names of the illegal schools for the public to be aware.
Mr Essien warned that defaulters would be prosecuted by the state government.
"Names of these schools will be published; subsequently, the schools will be closed down.
Mr Essien stressed the importance of E-learning, saying the government was poised to introduce E-learning into the school system as a means of improving and providing quality education to students.
"The world today is evolving with technology. It is moving away from manual processes and we cannot afford to lag behind.
"E-learning will provide accessibility to the students at all times by the teachers even after school hours.
"Missed lessons can be reviewed, students will have access to improved, updated, and world class libraries and learning facilities," Mr Essien said.

IMF GDP growth "projections" accompanying emergency lending programs are nothing of the sort; they are targets the level of which is necessarily set high enough to enable the interventions.
Take Greece. After committing to lending of €30 billion over 3 years in 2010, the Fund projected that the crisis-mired nation would return to growth by 2012. As shown in the left figure above, Greece's economy actually plunged by 7% that year – the year it completed the world's largest sovereign restructuring, covering €206 billion of bonds.
Take Ukraine. After committing to lending $17 billion over 2 years in April, the Fund projected that its civil/Russian war would magically end and its economy bloom – achieving 2% growth in 2015. Instead, its "adverse scenario" looks to be playing out according to script, with the economy on pace for a 7% decline. There is now a massive $15 billion gap between what has been pledged by the official sector (IMF, World Bank, European Union, and others) and what is actually needed to fund the government.
The point is not that the IMF is particularly incompetent or unlucky; few in the organization's talented professional staff could be in the least surprised with how Greece and Ukraine have played out. The point is that the IMF's growth projections for crisis-hit client countries are deliberately being pegged at levels high enough to overcome its own prohibition against lending to countries that lack sufficient funding to cover government spending over the coming 12 months.
This is a sound rule, intended to keep the Fund from getting sucked into the vortex of politics. Greece's insolvency clearly required write-offs and gifts; more debt, which is all the Fund has to offer, was never going to resolve the problem. Ukraine requires at a minimum a cessation of hostilities. By all means, the EU, U.S., and other friendly nations should step in financially and otherwise to show solidarity, but such is not the proper role of the Fund. If it manages to avoid major losses on these interventions, it will only do so by having provided political cover for those who will – governments, such as those of Germany and the United States, which should have been up-front with their people about the likely cost and political purpose of their aid.

Calgary-based Baby Gourmet donates 160,000 fruit snacks to food banks Back to video
"This generous donation will go a long way in meeting the needs of our Weekends & More program," said Shawna Ogston, spokeswoman for the Calgary Food Bank. "Filling more than 8,600 kid-friendly hampers in a school year means Heart of Baby Gourmet is making sure students are getting the nutritious food they need on the weekends."
Since the company was founded in 2005, it has given 507,143 meals to organizations in need across the country. The food company's social good program launched earlier this year with a donation of 20 boxes of "puffies," an organic quinoa snack, to Inn From the Cold, a local non-profit.
Baby Gourmet's co-founder, Jen Carlson, said the purpose of the social good program was to make their organic food accessible to everyone. Children have a better opportunity to learn when they don't have to worry about food while at school.
"We're incredibly grateful to partner with these amazing organizations and not only make a huge difference to families and youth in need of nutritious meals, but to also encourage other local and regional businesses to join in the cause," said Carlson.

StanChart says it reviewed transfer of US$1.4b funds, 'proactively' notified authorities
STANDARD Chartered Bank (StanChart) conducted a full account review of trust structures at the centre of a transfer of US$1.4 billion of funds and had proactively made a report to the relevant authorities, the lender said on Tuesday.
The bank was responding to news reports that Indonesia is probing allegations about the bank moving assets, allegedly held on behalf of Indonesian clients, to Singapore in 2015 from Guernsey, just before the Channel Island implemented tax transparency rules last year.
Under these rules, countries automatically share annual reports on accounts belonging to people subject to taxes in each nation. Britain, Guernsey and Singapore are signatories, but Guernsey, a known tax haven, implemented the rules ahead of Singapore.
A StanChart spokesman said that the bank is working closely with regulators, and therefore is unable to provide any more information.
Indonesia's Finance Ministry said late on Monday night that there were no Indonesian public officials, either from the Indonesian military (TNI) or within the government, among the 81 individuals with links to the illicit fund transfer from Guernsey to Singapore.
Its director-general of tax Ken Dwijugiasteadi said the assets in question were owned by "business people" and that preliminary findings showed that the transfers were "business transactions" and had no connections to the military.
He added that 62 of the 81 had taken part in Indonesia's recently completed tax amnesty programme, which ran from July 2016 to March this year and some of the funds were transferred "to participate in the tax amnesty, while others were transferred because they wanted to avoid the new information disclosure measures (in Guernsey)".
The tax amnesty was a part of President Joko Widodo's tax reforms, aimed at recovering billions of dollars in revenue lost to widespread tax evasion and in assets hidden overseas by wealthy citizens and businesses.
An earlier report by Bloomberg said that regulators in Europe and Asia are looking into the matter. The bank's processes and the way the transfers were handled are being examined, but regulators have not suggested that bank employees colluded with clients to evade tax,it said.
Citing anonymous sources, Bloomberg reported that both Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) and Guernsey's Financial Services Commission are investigating the chain of events.
MAS, Singapore's central bank and financial regulatory authority, on Monday said that it takes a serious view of and will take firm action against any financial institution or individual found to have breached its requirements relating to anti-money laundering (AML) and countering the financing of terrorism (CFT).
"Where egregious breaches of our laws are detected, MAS has worked with our law enforcement agencies to pursue criminal prosecutions."
Singapore will not tolerate the abuse of its financial system as a refuge or conduit for tax-illicit funds, it added.
On the StanChart issue, MAS said: "As our supervisory probe is still ongoing, we are unable to provide more information at this juncture."
Mohammed Reza, partner at law firm Simmons & Simmons JWS, said MAS is looking into the fund transfers between Guernsey and Singapore in its capacity as supervisor of Singapore's financial sector.
"As supervisor, MAS is concerned with the effective monitoring and mitigation of risks in the financial system as a whole as well as individual institutions, in this instance StanChart. The supervisory probe is focused on whether a breach of applicable anti-money laundering and countering the financing of terrorism requirements has taken place," he said.
On StanChart's proactive move to work with the authorities, Mr Reza said the senior management of any financial institution needs to be aware of what the institution is doing.
"Where non-compliance has been identified, there needs to be a serious effort to address that issue. This may include making timely reports to the relevant authorities, whether as a matter of law or as a matter of prudent accountable behaviour to the regulators.
"This is increasingly pertinent given the rise of international cooperation between financial regulatory authorities and the internationalisation of financial standards across jurisdictions."

Gore Running Wear skirt: compression shorts with a skirt
The Gore Running Wear skirt consists of compression shorts and a skirt. The skirt is quite loose fitting, and not too short. I even dared take my kids to school in it!
The compression shorts rode up a little bit, but still prevented my tighs from catching fire. They were a bit tight, but hey, they're obviously not called 'compression' shorts for no reason!
I'm very impressed with the two pockets on both sides of the compressions shorts. I could easily take my mobile phone with me, a small wallet, and my iPod. And because of the loose fit of the skirt, my possessions didn't cause any extra bulges.
But that's not all! There's a small opening you can pull your ear phones through.
The only thing I liked less about this skirt was the waist band, which was hard to find. But the manufacturers explained to me they especially made it that way, so you can choose whether you want to wear the skirt high or low.
Do you remember the eighties action series MacGyver? Every episode he got into big trouble, but managed to save himself by building a helicopter from an old toilet or something. He gave a whole new meaning to the term multifunctional! I like to call this skirt my MacGyver skirt.
In conclusion: I think this running skirt is a great asset to any running wardrobe!
For more info you can visit the Gore Running Wear website!

Did you know that 90 percent of preschool children's play in the United States involves a toy? This goes to show how toys contribute to children's development. As a parent, you need to understand that the toys you pick for your kids can contribute to how they grow and learn.
When you choose the toys that your kids play with wisely, you help to enhance certain skills that are important to a child's development. In fact, toys can contribute to helping children become better problem solvers, learn early math, and improve their language and literacy.
Our useful guide below highlights the ten best toys for a growing child. We will share with you the important considerations when choosing toys for your child.
- Match your child's interests and abilities
Does your child love playing with animal toys? Do they love building? It's important to choose toys that your kid is actually interested in playing with. Toys need to be challenging but at the same time fun for your child and not frustrate him/her to a point they won't want to play with it.
- Consider the age
Always keep in mind your child's age when choosing a toy. The toy shouldn't be too complicated because your child will get frustrated trying to figure out how it works and end up not playing with it at all.
- Choose open-ended toys
There are a wide range of open-ended toys that most kids love. This includes stuff like bricks, arts and crafts as well as builders. These types of toys can be used in so many different ways and several times by your child. In fact, you should always focus on toys that can grow with your child. Many of these toys can be used by your child to build their own creations and encourage learning of science, technology and math.
- Encourage pretend play
When kids engage in pretend play, they develop their vocabulary and also become more creative. Choose toys that encourage pretend play such as kitchen sets for girls and a miniature zoo. Children tend to create their own new characters and act out certain situations. This really helps in developing their vocabulary and creativity and they have so much fun in the process.
- Choose toys that encourage collaboration
It's important for a child to develop social skills from an early age. The best part is that toys can really help to foster this. Puzzles and builders are an excellent option for children to learn how to play together and develop social skills. Think about toys that will show your child how to wait for their turn and how to compromise, and toys that promote problem solving as a group so they learn how to work together.
- Explore the real world
When choosing toys for your child, think of items that would help them to discover and learn more about the real world. For instance, getting a binoculars, experiment kit or science toy for your child and then having follow-up questions will help them to learn more about the real world.
- Board games for children
Research has proven that board games, when introduced early to children, can significantly improve their math skills. Board games can teach kids how to count and strategize, which helps to enhance their cognitive skills as well.
- Read reviews
There are numerous reviews of games for kids. You need to read them to understand what to expect not only in terms of durability and value for money but how well kids respond to them. Parents are great reviewers and will offer clear cut opinions on any game they buy for their children. Don't be afraid to go through forums and opinion sites looking for information on a brand or product you want to buy for your child.
- Choose education and entertainment
A recent study showed that kids play with gadgets more than toys. As the parent, you need to choose for your kids toys that do more than entertain. Toys that have an educational element will always provide more value to your child. For instance, toy kitchens, block sets and board games will encourage your child to learn so many new things. Toys can be used to teach soft skills too.
- Ease of assembly
Choose a toy that is easy to assemble. Imagine the pressure of trying to assemble a thousand pieces while your child is jumping in excitement and touching everything? Opt for a toy that is ready to go straight from the package.
