Foreign investors prefer smaller cities
Foreign investors prefer smaller cities
New Delhi: Small Indian towns score over metros and big cities when it comes to being the destination of choice of foreign investors.
Foreign investors prefer smaller Indian towns to big cities for setting up manufacturing facilities, thus establishing linkages with suburban and rural regions of the country, a government-sponsored study has found.
"A significant proportion of FDI-enabled manufacturing plants are located in Class-3 cities," the study done by National Council of Applied Economic Research (NCAER) said.
The study covered 1,273 plants of 401 FDI-enabled manufacturing companies located in 294 cities of which 54% were in small cities.
According to classification by Population Census-2001, Class-3 cities are towns with a population of less than five lakhs.
"It is assumed that these cities and towns are sub-urban and closer to the rural areas of the country," it said.
The study, sponsored by the department of industrial policy and promotion (DIPP) found that about half of the total output, value addition and wages paid in the FDI manufacturing firms originate in small towns.
These investments are in sectors like non-metallic mineral products, building and construction parts, mining of iron ores, textiles and growing and processing of crops.
When it comes to value-added products, sectors like minerals, tobacco products and footwear are predominant.
Small towns also contributed two-fifth of the market capitalisation (the stock value of a firm) of multi-national companies in India and contributed more than 50% of the workforce.
"Sectors providing a relatively high share of employment in Class-3 cities include transport equipment, growing and processing of crops, construction parts, textiles and non-metallic mineral products," the study said.
It found that the FDI-enabled manufacturing units paid higher wage than the domestic firms.
Within the FDI firms, the wages were relatively high in sectors such as footwear, medical appliances, electricity distribution and building of construction parts.
The NCAER study was based on data between 2001 and 2006 and for some parameters between 2006 and 2008.
India received a cumulative Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) of $127.46 billion since 1991, according to the official data.

Last Thursday Montana Governor Steve Bullock signed into law the strongest prohibition yet by any state against accepting "free" used military equipment from the federal government. A month ago New Jersey Chris Christie signed into law prohibiting such "free" used war materiel without express approval from the local governments involved. Montana's new law outright prohibits any department in the state from receiving drones that are armored or weaponized (or both), military aircraft, grenades or grenade launchers, silencers and "militarized armored vehicles."
In New Jersey the bill passed both houses unanimously; in Montana the House voted 79-20 in favor while the Senate voted 46-1 in favor. Under the new law police departments remain free to purchase such materiel, but they would have to use their own funds (not federal grants), and they would have to notify the public about the intended purchase at least 14 days in advance.
The difference between the laws was spelled out by Mike Maharrey of the Tenth Amendment Center:
By making it a local decision, the New Jersey law is a great first step, but the Montana law takes things to the next level. It closes loopholes and covers almost all the bases.
The next step would be to expand the equipment banned, and we're hopeful that the good people in Montana will work on that in the next session.
The Montana law also makes it clear that the equipment is banned from whatever federal source it might come, not just from the Defense Department's Section 1033 program. Section 1033 has allowed local police departments to hoover up more than $4 billion of surplus military equipment since 1997. But military surplus offered by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) under other similar programs is triple that amount, meaning that, thanks to efforts by U.S. government officials to turn local law enforcement agencies into branches of the federal government, local police departments now sport something approaching $15 billion worth of war surplus supplies and equipment.

I have been photographing this little girl since she was born. I love getting to hang out with her lovely family. This time was no exception and our timing was perfect – as soon as we wrapped up, the heavens opened.
I was introduced to Wenkenpark by another client and have held a few shoots up there now. It's a great open park that is not very often overcrowded – which tends to please my families. There is also a lovely little cafe up there which is a great place to stop at the end of a busy shoot.
Our little lady is reallly growing. Last time she was walking whilst holding hands and was perfect for photography as she pretty much stayed where you put her. This time, she is on her feet and just loves running around, running after a ball and swinging on swings. She is seriously kind too, picking daisies and happily running around to everyone to share them – me included – I felt honoured.
Here she is:

Chapter 7 bankruptcy can serve as a powerful tool for getting debt discharged and for paving the way for a healthier financial future. However, it is important to note that this type of bankruptcy might not be the right solution for everyone. While there are many benefits to Chapter 7 bankruptcy, there are also many risks that need to be considered. Due to this fact, it is vital that you seek counsel from a qualified Oakland bankruptcy attorney before you begin the process of filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy is limited to debtors who can show that they truly have an inability to repay their debt. This is demonstrated by their ability to pass the means test, which uses a formula that factors in the debtor's disposable income and debt level. If a debtor does not pass the means test, that individual will only have the option of filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, if the individual is eligible for that form of debt relief. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is commonly referred to as "liquidation bankruptcy" because the debtor gets debt discharged (or cleared) in exchange for having his or her non-exempt assets (or unprotected assets) liquidated. In this process, the bankruptcy trustee sells off those non-exempt assets and uses the profit from the sales to pay back creditors. In the majority of Chapter 7 cases, debtors have little or no nonexempt assets that become subject to liquidation. Debtors who complete Chapter 7 bankruptcy are often able to get a great portion (if not all) of their debt discharged.
Here are some of the questions you should get answered before you decide whether or not to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy:
- Do you pass the means test?
- What are your exempt and non-exempt assets under California bankruptcy law? (Or, which of your assets could potentially be liquidated if you file for bankruptcy?)
- Are you willing to lose your non-exempt property if liquidation of these assets is required?
- Do you have any creditors who would have a strong case for getting your automatic stay lifted (or removed)?
- Even if you qualify for Chapter 7, would Chapter 13 bankruptcy be more beneficial in your particular case?
At our firm, The Bankruptcy Law Firm, we have Oakland bankruptcy attorneys who can help you make an informed decision about how to proceed with your bankruptcy filing. We can further explain how Chapter 7 bankruptcy works, help you take the means test and assist you in properly weighing the pros and cons of this type of bankruptcy. Make sure you get the legal guidance you need. Contact us so we can begin working with you to establish an action plan!

In a study of 2,005 well-educated, middle-class, Caucasian and African American women, published in the May 27 issue of the Archives of Internal Medicine, one in 10 reported histories of domestic violence and now suffer from neurological, gynecological, and stress-related problems at a rate 50 to 70 percent higher than never-abused women.
Symptoms among the abused women included headaches, back pain, sexually transmitted diseases, urinary infections, appetite loss, and abdominal pain. They also reported significantly more gynecological, chronic stress, and central nervous system problems.
"Injuries to the face, neck, and upper body are obvious indicators of abuse, but domestic violence also leads to long-term emotional and physical health consequences," according to lead author Jacquelyn C. Campbell, PhD, RN, the Anna D. Wolf Professor at Hopkins School of Nursing. "Such symptoms are not generally associated with domestic violence, and therefore questions about possible violence should be included in routine screening of all women."
"Health care professionals are becoming more aware of the immediate problems associated with abuse," says Campbell. "The next step is to expand this awareness to those problems that persist, develop over time, or linger after the abuse ends. We need to be on the lookout for those more subtle signals as well." Campbell says overlooking the possibility of abuse could result in prescribing a useless treatment. For example, recommending safe sex practices will not help a woman who is being sexually abused.
Study results also point to a need to screen for abuse regardless of a woman's socioeconomic status.
"Our sample represented a racially balanced and primarily highly educated group of middle-class, working women. One in 10 reported intimate partner violence," says Campbell. "The practitioner who feels it is necessary to screen for abuse only in low-income women could miss many higher income patients who are abused."
Campbell adds that health care professionals lack a standard set of signs, symptoms, and illnesses to signal current or prior incidents of domestic violence. "We hope this study will be useful towards the development of a standard compilation to use in routine universal screening to alert practitioners of possible abuse."
The study was funded by the United States Army. Other authors include Alison Snow Jones, PhD (Wake Forest University School of Medicine); Jacqueline Dienemann, PhD, RN (Georgetown University); Joan Kub, PhD, RN, Janet Schollenberger, MHS, (Johns Hopkins School of Nursing) Patricia O'Campo, PhD, and Andrea Carlson Gielen, PhD (Johns Hopkins School of Public Health); and Clifford Wynne, MD (Kaiser Permanente).

George Siemens distills the essence of the use of learning objects and repositories in the e-learning field:
… content in context is the real challenge. Or put another way, the extraction of meaning from an object is the real challenge. We can have access to all the content in the world, but if we are not able to find what we need, when we need it, in the format we need it, and for the task which we need it, it's of no use. Content management takes care of organizing resources. The extraction of meaningful content is where systems fail.
I find that there is still a lot of snake oil being sold as e-learning. If you can help people find what they need, when they need it, in the right context to be useful, then you will have effective content management and/or performance support. The rest is what a friend of mine calls "shovel ware".

SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) A call to action Wednesday from Vermont's attorney general, urging Vermonters to speak out against proposed cuts to the state's food stamp program.
The Trump administration says the change will close a loophole which allows people to be eligible for food stamps automatically.
With the proposed changes to 3SquaresVT, the state's food assistance program, experts say it will affect the eligibility of kids to get free and reduce meals, as well.
Officials estimate 4,600 households will have to pay more than $800 a year for their kids' school lunches.
"This is about our future, this is about decency, this is about a basic human dignity that nobody-- especially kids-- should go hungry in this state," said T.J. Donovan, D-Vt. Attorney General.
Across the country, more than 3 million people are slated to lose their benefits if the changes go into place.

Mono Lake
This formation is called the pirate ship. And is really pretty in the early morning light.
The tufa towers are caused by carbonated fresh water mixing with the calcified salt water and making limestone.
The water is 2.5 saltier than the Pacific ocean and more Alkali. This made the water foam more easily and the boat left an interesting wake as we headed out to Paoha Island.
The rocks on the north end of the island contain boiling springs and steam vents. Impressive up close and also a bit wiffy.
The top of the cone also has steam vents dotted around here and there.
Heading back across the glassy lake. The perfect day!

Gabion Mattress
Product Description
Gabion Mattress
- Mattresses, or revet mattresses, are gabion type structures manufactured from 6 x 8 double twist mesh with more planar area and relatively small in thickness.Gabion Mattresses are used for river bank and scour protection, channel linings for erosion control, and embankment stability. They are filled with rock at the project site to form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures to promote rapid growth of natural vegetation.
- The blending of Gabion Mattress structures into the environment is rapid and pleasing. The voids in the rock fill become progressively filled with silt, promoting vegetation growth which is essential to the preservation and maintenance of the ecological balance of the surrounding environment.
All the physical and mechanical properties meet or exceed the requirements of ASTM A975.
- Built using standard construction equipment. Structures can be built in stages, if necessary, and baskets can be prefilled and launched to enable underwater installation.
- The base section of the Gabion Mattress is divided into compartments and filled with stones at the project site. With lids secured, M attresses form flexible, permeable, monolithic structures.
- The woven mesh system has the capability of withstanding unexpected and/or localized stresses due to ground settlements and scour by deflection while maintaining its structural integrity. The stone fill allows the water to seep through the structure while retaining the soil; therefore, no additional drainage is required to relieve the hydrostatic pressures.
Advantages and distinctions of Gabion Mattresses:
A mattress shaped version of the gabion used mainly for erosion control when the retaining properties of box gabions are not required
Free drainage and 30-35% voids allow vegetation to grow
Their strength lies in their double twisted hexagonal steel wire mesh which is reinforced by selvedges of heavier wire running along the edges
The base section is divided into compartments to restrict the movement of stone and strengthen the structure
The lid is supplied as a separate panel

(Adds OSCE comment, colour from eastern cities)
* No moves over Easter as Ukraine works with OSCE on surrender
* Putin says West could improve relations, welcomes new NATO head
* U.S. warns of new sanctions on Russia if no resolution
* Moscow says not directing events, poll suggests most oppose annexation
By Alastair Macdonald and Aleksandar Vasovic
KIEV/DONETSK, April 19 (Reuters) - A mediator from Europe's OSCE security body headed to eastern Ukraine on Saturday seeking the surrender of pro-Russian separatists as the Kiev government declared an Easter truce following a peace accord with Moscow.
Gunmen occupying public buildings in Donetsk and other Russian-speaking border towns refuse to recognise an accord in Geneva on Thursday by which Russia, Ukraine and Kiev's U.S. and EU allies agreed that the OSCE should oversee the disarmament of militants and the evacuation of occupied facilities and streets.
The coming days may determine whether unrest following the overthrow of Ukraine's pro-Moscow president can be contained.
Russia, which annexed Crimea last month in the worst East-West crisis since the Cold War, denies running the separatists or planning to invade. Western powers threatened more economic sanctions if Moscow does not prevail on the militants to surrender.
Ertogrul Apakan, who heads the special mission in Kiev of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, said his deputy would be in Donetsk on Saturday and meet separatist leaders by Sunday to see if they will comply with the agreement.
After a meeting in the Ukrainian capital with diplomats from the four parties to the Geneva accord, Swiss envoy Christian Schoenenberger, whose country is chair of the OSCE, said its monitors had spoken to several activists: "For the time being the political will is not there to move out," he said.
"That's the task of the monitors, to create this political will, inform the people, so eventually they will understand that the best option for them is to move out," he told reporters.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Deshchytsia, who warned on Friday of "more concrete actions" to end the stand-off if there were no movement over the Easter weekend, said after the meeting that the senior OSCE officials and the local authorities in the east would "work out practical steps for the implementation of the Geneva agreement in the course of the next day or two".
In Donetsk, separatist leaders renewed calls for a referendum that could see Ukraine's industrial heartland annexed by Russia. A poll by an institute in Kiev, however, suggested a majority does not favour rule from Moscow, despite widespread suspicion among Russian-speakers of the new leadership in Kiev.
Ukraine's government, short of effective forces, has shown little sign of trying to recapture the dozen or so town halls, police stations and other sites seized over the past two weeks, despite proclaiming the launch of an "anti-terrorist operation".
The Foreign Ministry promised "the suspension of the active phase of the anti-terrorist operation" among a list of initiatives to defuse the crisis issued late on Friday. The SBU state security service said the suspension was "linked to the implementation of the Geneva agreement and the Easter holidays".
The government has explained its lack of visible action beyond setting up security checkpoints by a desire not to hurt civilians. That would risk provoking the intervention Russia has threatened if Russian blood is shed. But lack of resources and training also helps explain the hesitation. Ukrainian troops lost half a dozen armoured vehicles to militants last week.
"An Easter truce may show goodwill - or perhaps just Kiev's total impotence," said one of the masked men guarding the occupied headquarters of Donetsk's regional government.
"If it's impotence, then we've won. If they're getting ready to provoke us, then we will hit back with force."
Several people have been killed in violence in the past week. On Saturday, a serviceman was killed in Donetsk in what the Defence Ministry described as an accident.
After weeks of bitter mutual recriminations, Vladimir Putin held out the prospect of better relations with the West on Saturday but the Russian president made clear it would depend on concessions from his adversaries in the crisis over Ukraine.
"I think there is nothing that would hinder a normalisation and normal cooperation," he said in an interview to be broadcast by Russian state television in which he commented favourably on the appointment of a new head of NATO. "This does not depend on us. Or rather not only on us. This depends on our partners."
He did not spell out what he hoped the West would do.
President Barack Obama's officials made clear on Friday that Russia must prevail on sympathisers in Ukraine to end the sit-ins within days or face graver economic sanctions than limited measures imposed after the seizure of Crimea.
Moscow says its interest is only to protect its borders and Russian-speakers in Ukraine from "fascists" and others who overthrew President Viktor Yanukovich after he sparked months of protests by rejecting closer ties with the EU.
The United States and European Union have imposed limited sanctions on Russian officials over Crimea but are struggling to find a common approach to curbing what they see as a drive by Moscow to recover control of its former empire.
Russia has long complained NATO's extension of membership to Moscow's Cold War satellites in eastern Europe and deepening ties to ex-Soviet states like Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine is part of an aggressive policy to undermine it.
Years of Western disdain for Russia's struggles with the legacy of the communist collapse also lie behind Putin's demands - hugely popular at home - that Moscow be treated with respect. His spokesman hit back on Friday at threats of sanctions from Washington, saying it treated Russia like a "guilty schoolboy".
U.S. national security adviser Susan Rice said: "We believe that Russia has considerable influence over the actions of those who have been engaged in destabilising activities.
"If we don't see action commensurate with the commitments that Russia has made ... in Geneva ... then ... we and our European partners remain ready to impose additional costs on Russia. Those costs and sanctions could include targeting very significant sectors of the Russian economy."
Washington did not spell out what further sanctions it might place on Russia. With the EU, it has so far imposed visa bans and asset freezes on a small number of Russians, a response that Moscow has mocked. But some EU states are reluctant to do more, fearing that could provoke Russia further or end up hurting their own economies, which are heavily reliant on Russian gas.
Massive unknowns hang over the situation. Putin's ultimate goal may not be the Crimean-style annexation of Ukraine's industrial heartland, despite his comments in a major public appearance on Thursday in which he recalled that what is now eastern and southern Ukraine was the tsars' New Russia.
Many analysts believe Putin is mainly seeking to influence events in Ukraine and ensure a favourable outcome in next month's election following the loss of Russian ally Yanukovich.
That in turn raises questions of the role of Ukraine's rich business "oligarchs" in the crisis and the election.
Conspiracy theories abound in Kiev, according to which the rich and powerful may be fomenting unrest behind the scenes to further their own ends or to curry favour with Putin, who holds sway over the Russian business interests of Ukrainian tycoons.
The Ukrainian government has been at pains to show it is ready to meet the demands of people in the east for greater local autonomy and rights to use the Russian language.
With a presidential election to replace Yanukovich planned for May 25, it also needs to convince Ukrainians that 23 years of grandiose corruption and economic mismanagement under various leaders might come to end and give the state a better future.
A poll by the Kiev International Institute of Sociology for the Zerkalo Nedeli newspaper found less than a third of people in the easternmost regions of Donetsk and Luhansk would vote for rule from Moscow and less than a quarter said they supported the takeover of public buildings in their regions by armed men.
Nonetheless, fear of "fascist" Ukrainian nationalists in Kiev, and worries for employment in the mines and factories, are widespread: "I lost my job in February when all of this chaos started in Kiev," said mother-of-two Nina Nebesna, 30, as she headed in to Donetsk's stadium to watch the local soccer derby.
"Now I can't find work anywhere," she said. "I don't recognise the junta that took power in Kiev. Those boys are standing up for our rights," she said of the local militants.
Local miner, Mikhail Belogurov, 55, said a move in the Kiev parliament after Yanukovich fell to curb Russian-language rights was "really stupid" and he wanted "the authorities in Kiev to pay more attention to us". But he was sceptical of the aims of the pro-Russian separatists: "We don't know who the people in the buildings are," he said. " We don't know what they want."

Bendix supervisor joins engineering society
ELYRIA, Ohio — Nicholas K. Petek, an engineering supervisor for Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems, has been elected to serve a three-year term as one of the 18 members of the national board of directors of the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE).
Petek, who has 25 years experience in the automotive industry and is a registered professional engineer in the state of Ohio, has been active in the Cleveland-area chapter of SAE for 12 years.
My enthusiasm for SAEs mission has motivated me to pursue increasing levels of leadership, first at the local level in Cleveland, then on an intermediate operating board, and now on the national board of directors, said Petek. During the process, Ive contributed to my community, gained leadership experience, benefited my companys business, and made a positive impact on society in general through the advancement of mobility.
SAE has more than 90,000 members, which include engineers, business executives, educators and students from more than 97 countries. Members share information and exchange ideas for advancing the engineering of mobility systems.
Petek joined Bendix in 2000 as an engineering supervisor for air compressor design.
"Nick's appointment to the SAE board is a benefit to both the association and Bendix. We benefit firsthand from his bringing best practices back to Bendix, while he serves as the catalyst for sharing our knowledge that can further the entire industry," said Steve Mance, vice-president and general manager for Bendix.

We all love a good proposal story, and does it get any cuter than a mid-flight proposal? Unluckily for one flight attendant in China, however, it wasn't a 'happily ever after' that followed a romantic mid-air marriage proposal from her boyfriend. Channel 8 reports that months after her boyfriend went down on his knee to pop the question during a flight, the unnamed flight attendant for China Eastern Airlines was served with a dismissal letter.
According to Asia One, the incident took place in May when, 30 minutes after takeoff, the flight attendant's boyfriend went down on his knee and proposed to her. A video which has now gone viral on social media captures the sweet proposal.
Watch the video below:
However, on September 10, the flight attendant was fired on grounds that she had neglected passenger safety.
The company said that private romantic behavior caused turmoil among passengers and was extremely irresponsible for the safety of passengers, reports Channel 8.
According to Asia One, the news of her termination has garnered mixed responses on Chinese social. While some say that her firing was "inhuman" and "heartless", others argue that handling "private affairs" during professional hours is wrong.

Edit Product Details - Extended Properties
Table of Contents
- Editing a Single SKU
- Editing in Bulk
- Types of Extended Property
- Further Reading
Extended Properties contain data that add further details about inventory items, often to distinguish between variations of items by providing a category for their variation type. For instance, when selling T-shirts, each T-shirt variation will need an individual SKU in Linnworks. Adding their colour and size to an extended property then allows this to be added as a property in listings, such as the Specifications section of an eBay listing, or as the variation on variation listings.
Extended properties are also used for data about the listing itself. Extended properties such as whether the SKU qualifies for free shipping can be set on a per-SKU basis.
Whilst there are a number of types of extended property that can be selected from the dropdown box, most extended properties should be added as Attributes.
Please note there is a limit of 50 characters on Property Name and a limit of 2000 characters on the Property Value.
Editing a Single SKU
Adding Extended Properties
- Click Add New
- Click the new cells that have been added to the table and enter the following information:
- Name: The name of the extended property, such as size or colour
- Value: This is the actual variation, such as "Small" or "Blue"
- Type: For item variations, such as size or colour, this would be 'Attribute'
- Other types of extended property are discussed here
- Click Save
A new extended property with the same name as an already existing extended property cannot be added.
Removing Extended Properties
- Click the appropriate entry to highlight it
- Click Delete

- Click the cell to be edited, the text will be highlighted
- Enter new text and press Enter

Editing in Bulk
Extended Properties can be added and removed in bulk. Adding Extended Item Properties is done via Inventory Import and deleting extended item properties has it's own subtype of the Delete import type. Further information can be found for Inventory and Delete Import types here and here respectively.
Types of Extended Property
The following table lists all types of extended property and a brief description of their use:
|Attribute Type Name
|When creating Listings through My Inventory Linnworks can use values from Extended Properties with this type to provide additional information to the listing such as eBay Item Specifics, eBay Variation Specifics or Amazon attributes.
|Used when creating new listings on eBay via a Configurator to override the default value saved on the Configurator.
|Used for eBay motors kType listings to provide compatibility information.
|This is used when creating stock items from live listings through LinnLive from either eBay or Bigcommerce.
|Fulfilment SKU
|A Fulfilment SKU is used when your Drop Shipper / Fulfilment Center uses a different SKU to yours to identify the product. When submitting orders from Linnworks to a Fulfilment Centre the value of this property will be sent instead of the Linnworks SKU. It will also be used when receiving stock level updates from the Fulfilment Centre. This functionality also applies to FBA locations. For our Fulfilment Centre functionality to make use of this extended property it must be set up in the following way.
|When using this type Linnworks makes no specific use of the property by default. However, it is possible through order automation scripts or macros to extract data contained in these properties and make use it.
|Stockitem Label
|When printing Stock Item labels it is possible to include the value of an extended property when it matches the following criteria:
|This Extended Property type is used when creating stock items from live listings through LinnLive. Information such as the shipping cost will be saved as an extended property with type 'Shipping'.

Once upon a time, in a land of rainbows, butterflies, and evil content overload, a gripping love story is unfolding.
But this love affair isn't what you'd expect — it's no "Romeo and Juliet" or "Sleepless in Seattle."
Rather, it's an unlikely courtship with a bond sealed by three little words: Business-to-Business.
That's right. We've said. The secret's out. For the last decade, we've been head-over-heels in love with B2B content marketing.
We know what you're thinking. B2B can't hold a candle to B2C. B2B is boring. B2B lacks sex appeal. But you don't know B2B like we do—she's a knockout and a showstopper.
What's so darn attractive about B2B content marketing? Let us remind you of all there is to fall in love with.

Joseph Ackerman, the chairman of Deutsche Bank, and Peter Sands, group CEO of Standard Chartered, both warned that different approaches to bank bonuses and financial regulation in different countries would lead to "regulatory arbitrage" and damage the world economy.
Fragmented banks would struggle to support global growth and would lead to increasing costs for business, they argued. Both men were responding to questions about President Barack Obama's assertion last week that banks should be broken up and that he was "up for a fight" with the finance sector.
Asked directly if breaking up global banks into smaller units would support economic recovery, Sands, who is CEO of one of the UK's Big Five banks, said: "The unambiguous answer is no." He continued: "There is a risk of fragmentation of activities and we are seeing that already.
"The international community should resist that as far as possible." Sands said that there would be an increasing "cost of complexity" if different geographical areas had different regulation.
The British Government has already said it does not think President Obama's plan was the way forward for the UK.
Mr Ackermann said he saw a similar problem of increasing costs of global finance as banks would be forced to operate with different structures, liquidity demands and capital requirements as they operated across the globe.
"We will all be losers if we don't have an efficient market in place," he said. "[In an effort] at going for the optimum solution we may have features we regret and the pendulum may go too far. "Before we jump too far we have to consider the trade offs.
"We need to have consistent global rules." He said "fragmented banks" would "produce a dichotomy that would not work". Mr Sands said that he understood the political world banks now operated in. "We have to face up to it and deal with the debate. "There is anger and real concerns and we have to be humble." He also said he was cautious on economic growth. "It won't be as neat as a double dip or a W," he said.
Mr Ackermann said that he was relatively optimistic about the economy, saying there was evidence of strong growth in emerging economies.

If you are the owner of a great iPhone, you probably know how easily and quickly the phone can break. Whether it slips out of your hand or other mishaps occur, your iPhone can be damaged in the blink of an eye. Sure, there are tons of accessories available to protect the phone from accidents, but sometimes despite your best efforts, accidents occur. If your phone is damaged, call for repair, don't replace the phone.
The Smart Decision
It makes sense to repair your iPhone instead of tossing it in the trash and starting over. The iPhone is a quality smartphone, but it is also expensive. Replacing this phone can cost hundreds of dollars. But, repairs cost a fraction of the amount. Unless there is a money tree growing in your backyard, repair makes a lot of sense.
Save Time When You need a Phone
Don't have time to wait around for a new phone? When using iphone repair midland tx, it saves you time. Who can go without their phone for more than a few hours? It can take days or longer to get a new iPhone if you buy a new device. Plus, you won't lose data when repairing the phone, nor have that tough task of transferring information.
The Cost of an iPhone Repair
How much money should you expect to spend to make those repairs to your iPhone? Costs to repair your iPhone vary according to the type of iPhone you own, problem and type of damage and the provider chosen to make the repair. It is easy to compare the repair companies to find a trustworthy name that also charges a fair price for their service. At the end of the day, an iPhone repair is always the best way to resolve phone issues.

R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5, AS AMENDED
DAVID SLOAN AND FLAT ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE (a.k.a. F.E.D.I.)
a) By Notice of Hearing dated June 11, 2003, the Ontario Securities Commission proposed to hold a hearing on
June 18, 2003 to consider whether, pursuant to sections 127 and 127.1 of the Securities Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. S.5, as amended (the "Act"), it was in the public interest for the Commission to:
b) extend the temporary order made June 5, 2003 until the conclusion of this hearing pursuant to s. 127(7);2. From time to time since the original hearing date of June 18, 2003, the Commission has continued the temporary order made on June 5, 2003, as against Brian Anderson ("Anderson"), Leslie Brown, Douglas Brown and David Sloan ("Sloan"). The temporary order was not continued against Flat Electronic Data Interchange ("FEDI").
c) at the conclusion of this hearing, make an order pursuant to paragraph 2 of s. 127(1) that trading in any securities by the Respondentscease until further order by this Commission;
d) at the conclusion of this hearing, make an order pursuant to paragraph 5 of s. 127(1) that the Respondents be prohibited from providing to any person or company the documents attached as Schedules A to H to the Statement of Allegations; and
e) make such other order as the Commission considers appropriate.
3. On July 7, 2004, the Commission released reasons for its decision respecting Leslie Brown and Douglas Brown, finding they had not committed acts in furtherance of a trade and therefore no further order was necessary.
4. On September 17, 2004, the Commission approved a settlement entered into between Staff and Sloan.
5. Staff recommend settlement of the allegations against Anderson in accordance with the terms and conditions set out below. Anderson agrees to the settlement on the basis of the acknowledgement provided in Part III and the facts agreed to as provided in Part IV and consents to the making of an order against him in the form attached as Schedule "I" on the basis of the acknowledgement provided in Part III and the facts set out in Part IV.
6. This settlement agreement, including the attached proposed order (collectively, the "Settlement Agreement") will be released to the public only if and when the Settlement Agreement is approved by the Commission.
7. Staff and Anderson agree with the facts set out in Part IV for the purpose of this settlement proceeding only and further agree that this agreement of facts is without prejudice to Anderson in any other proceeding of any kind including, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any proceedings brought by the Commission under the Act or any civil or other proceedings which may be brought by any other person or agency.
8. Anderson resides in White Rock, British Columbia.
9. On the evening of June 4, 2003, Anderson participated in making a presentation (the "Presentation") in respect of FEDI to approximately 20 persons at the Bristol Place Hotel in Etobicoke, Ontario. The purpose of Anderson's Presentation was to solicit individuals to invest in FEDI. There was a similar meeting at the Bristol Place Hotel on the previous day.
10. At the Presentation, the documents attached were made available by Anderson to persons attending the seminar:
i) "What is F.E.D.I. and How Do They Make Their Income?" (Schedule A)
ii) "F.E.D.I. Flow Chart" (Schedule B)
iii) "Bank Wire Coordinates" (Schedule C)
iv) "Bank Wire Transfer Procedure" (Schedule D)
v) "Joint Venture Agreement" (Schedule E)
vi) "Email from Gordon Rothwell dated May 15, 2003 " (Schedule F)
vii) "Email from bjanderson dated April 17, 2003" (Schedule G)
viii) "Email from Brian D. Anderson dated May 13, 2003 " (Schedule H)
11. Anderson led the Presentation. Individuals present were told by Anderson that they could invest in FEDI by acquiring an interest in a desk ("Desk"). The interest in each Desk was to cost $125,000 USD. It was stated at the Presentation that a Desk would entitle its holder to an income stream. To confirm an investment in FEDI, persons were to complete a confidential joint venture agreement (schedule "E") with Anderson. Anderson was identified as the trustee of the project and a "designate" lessee.
12. No persons present invested in FEDI through Anderson at or following the June 4, 2003 meeting. On June 5, 2003, the Commission issued a temporary cease trade order, prohibiting the trading by the Respondents in Desks.
13. Anderson had introduced Sloan to the FEDI program in 2001. Sloan personally invested $45,000 to acquire an interest in a Desk. After the issuance of the Temporary Order, Sloan demanded from FEDI and received a full refund of his investment in FEDI.
14. The sale of interests in Desks are securities as defined by the Act.
15. Anderson is not registered pursuant to the Act to trade in securities in Ontario.
16. Persons who attended the Presentation were not provided with a prospectus.
a) Anderson attempted to sell interests in Desks of FEDI without being registered to trade in securities, contrary to section 25 of the Act; and
b) Anderson attempted to sell interests in Desks of FEDI without filing a preliminary prospectus and a prospectus contrary to section 53 of the Act.
18. Further, Anderson and Staff agree that the conduct described above was contrary to the public interest.
19. Anderson agrees to the following terms of settlement:
a) pursuant to paragraph 2 of subsection 127(1) of the Act, Anderson will cease trading in Desks permanently, effective from the date of the order of the Commission approving the Settlement Agreement;
b) pursuant to paragraph 3 of subsection 127(1) of the Act, any exemptions contained in Ontario securities law will not apply to Anderson for a period of 48 months, effective from the date of the order of the Commission approving the Settlement Agreement, save and except trades that Anderson is permitted to effect through the use of an agent who is a registered dealer, in accordance with s. 35(1) 10 of the Act;
c) pursuant to paragraph 5 of subsection 127(1) of the Act, Anderson will be prohibited from providing to any person or company the documents attached as Schedules A to H herein;
d) pursuant to paragraph 6 of subsection 127(1) of the Act, Anderson will be reprimanded by the Commission;
e) Anderson agrees to attend, in person, the hearing scheduled before the Commission on November 1, 2004 to consider the Settlement Agreement, or such other date as may be agreed to by the parties for the scheduling of the hearing to consider the Settlement Agreement; and
f) Anderson will make a payment of $10,000 to the Commission in respect of a portion of the Commission's costs of the investigation of this matter.
20. If this settlement is approved by the Commission, Staff will not initiate any other proceeding under the Act against Anderson respecting the facts set out in Part IV of the Settlement Agreement.
21. Approval of the settlement set out in the Settlement Agreement shall be sought at a public hearing of the Commission scheduled for November 1, 2004 or such date as may be agreed to by Staff and Anderson.
22. Counsel for Staff or for Anderson may refer to any part, or all, of the Settlement Agreement at the Settlement Hearing. Staff and Anderson agree that the Settlement Agreement and the transcript of the proceeding held April 26, 2004 will constitute the entirety of the evidence to be submitted at the Settlement Hearing, unless the parties later agree that further evidence should be submitted at the Settlement Hearing.
23. If the Settlement Agreement is approved by the Commission, Anderson agrees to waive his right to a full hearing, judicial review or appeal of the matter under the Act.
24. Subject to the acknowledgement in Part III, Staff and Anderson agree and undertake that if the Settlement Agreement is approved by the Commission, they will not make any statement inconsistent with the Settlement Agreement.
25. Whether or not the Settlement Agreement is approved by the Commission, Anderson agrees that he will not, in any proceeding, refer to or rely upon the Settlement Agreement or the settlement negotiations as the basis of any attack on the Commission's jurisdiction, alleged bias or appearance of bias, alleged unfairness or any other remedies or challenges that may otherwise be available.
26. If, for any reason whatsoever, the Settlement Agreement is not approved by the Commission, or an order in the form attached as Schedule "I" is not made by the Commission;
a) the Settlement Agreement and its terms, including all settlement negotiations between Staff and Anderson leading up to its presentation at the Settlement Hearing, shall be without prejudice to Staff and Anderson;
b) Staff and Anderson shall be entitled to all available proceedings, remedies and challenges, including proceeding to a hearing on the merits of the allegations in the Notice of Hearing and Amended Statement of Allegations of Staff, unaffected by the Settlement Agreement or the settlement negotiations; and
c) the terms of the Settlement Agreement will not be referred to in any subsequent proceeding, or disclosed to any person except with the written consent of Staff and Anderson, or as may be required by law.
27. The Settlement Agreement will be treated as confidential by Staff and Anderson until approved by the Commission, and forever if, for any reason whatsoever, the Settlement Agreement is not approved by the Commission, except with the written consent of Staff and Anderson, or as may be required by law.
28. Any obligations of confidentiality shall terminate upon approval of the Settlement Agreement by the Commission.
29. It the Settlement Agreement is approved by the Commission, and at any subsequent time Anderson fails to honour the terms contained in paragraph 21, Staff reserve the right to bring proceedings under Ontario securities law against Anderson based on the facts set out in Part IV of the Settlement Agreement, as well as the breach of the terms.
30. The Settlement Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts which together shall constitute a binding agreement.
31. A facsimile copy of any signature shall be as effective as an original signature.

Sometimes winter can seem like it's out to get you. When I was a child, my mother fractured her wrist two separate times in the same winter after slipping on the icy sidewalk. When I think back on this, I wonder why she didn't slip on our porch stairs, which were usually, unless my dad cleaned them off, covered in even more snow and ice. But I think the reason is that we had sturdy railings on those stairs, as long as you had a good grip on that handrail, you weren't going anywhere.
For older adults, slips and falls on stairs are a leading cause of accidental death, and even for younger people, stairs are often linked to falls. Pile some ice and snow on the issue and there's an even higher likelihood of taking a tumble on your stairs during the winter. That's why you'll want to make sure that your stair railing is secure and durable.
The Problems That Winter Brings
Winter can bring all sorts of home maintenance headaches. Ice, moisture, and salt can be pretty destructive, including to the railings on your outdoor stairways. Cover those damages up with a blanket of snow and it can be an accident waiting to happen.
The salt we use for deicing roadways and sidewalks can cause accelerated corrosion and rust in metal railings, and water from melted snow and ice can get into your stair's hardware and corrode the components.
With wooden stair railing materials, water can seep into small existing cracks and then freeze and expand. The expanding ice then forces open small crevices to create larger cracks, which can grow over the course of the winter. This is often an issue in states like Wisconsin, where drastic temperature swings can bring 50°F degree weather down to freezing in just a few days.
Winter can also bring other, less critical problems, like making certain types of railings unpleasant to grab onto. If you're avoiding holding on to your stair railings during the winter because they're so cold, those railings aren't able to do their job of keeping you safe on the stairs.
Where Do You Need to Install a Stair Railing?
While not all stairs are required to have railings, in climates with severe winters, it's wise to install railings on all outdoor stairs.
This is especially true if you're older or have elderly relatives living with you, since falls and slips have the potential to be much more dangerous to seniors. In fact, a large number of stair-related injuries are associated with stairs having just one or two steps.
Choosing a Material for Your Cold Climate-Friendly Railing
When it comes to choosing a material for your stair railing that will look attractive and stay strong no matter what winter brings, there are a few good options, though each has its own benefits and drawbacks. Some railing and baluster materials offer conveniences in terms of longevity and maintenance while others may exhibit a one-of-a-kind look.
High-quality metal stair railings have the advantage of being extremely long-lasting and durable no matter how hard the winter. Aluminum components are convenient because they won't rust or corrode easily. Some manufacturers are making iron railings using a special coating that will protect the metal even after it comes in contact with deicing salts. This corrosion-inhibiting finish uses the same process the automotive industry uses to protect vehicle undercarriages from road salt. The main downside to metal stair railings is that they tend to get very cold to the touch.
While vinyl tends to be durable and does not react with salt, it is affected by the temperature outside, and has the potential to shrink with the cold and expand with the heat. As the temperatures get colder, vinyl also becomes more brittle and less flexible. This aspect doesn't make vinyl components "fragile" necessarily, but it does slightly increase the chances of damage under impact.
Wood is an all-time classic because of its low price point and versatility when it comes to style. It also has the benefit of not getting too cold during the winter—you won't shy away from grabbing onto a wooden railing when it's -7°F outside. But it has one major drawback: it decays, and ignoring maintenance will almost guarantee that it will need to be replaced at some point in your life. Harsh winters can speed this process up, since ice and snowmelt tend to soak into the wood during the winter. This can also cause the wood to warp if it is not sealed. Don't forget about freezing water, either. When water gets into crevices and then freezes, it will expand, forcefully separating the material it's in. If this process can break apart boulders, then your wooden railing posts aren't going to stand a chance. Wood can last many years even in a cold climate, but it requires regular sealing, maintenance, and inspection.
Glass is an excellent material as almost nothing reacts with it. It won't rot, rust, or slowly wear away, and glass balusters will block some of the wind, snow, and rain from coming onto your stairs. While it is possible to break glass railings, the glass used in railings is tempered, and therefore stronger than regular glass. Don't worry though, if one is damaged it is possible to replace them. If you want the option of replacing glass railing balusters easily should they ever be damaged, purchase a railing that uses a drop-in installation system that makes it easy to replace balusters without dismantling your railing.
Stainless Steel
Typically made of stainless steel, vertical cable stair railings will last a very long time. They do not react easily with salt and are not likely to rust, especially when made with a high-quality, marine-grade stainless steel. One drawback to cable stair railings is that they create a very open balustrade and will not block wind or snow at all. This may be a consideration for those living in a very cold climate.
While glass and stainless steel cable are low maintenance and long-lasting, you must take into consideration the handrail and post materials for these systems, too. Be sure to pick a material with properties that are consistent with the reason you chose glass or cable in the first place, whether it be low maintenance or resistance to decay.
Finding High-Quality Stair Railings for Cold Climates
Installing a quality railing system that suits your home and your needs can do a lot to make winter less frustrating and less dangerous. Take a look at this gallery of highly safe and durable stair railing products at Fortress Railing Products. Does anything else around the house need some work after this winter? At Fortress Building Products they have fencing, decking and fastener options for all of your next projects.


text: Parental responsibilities, sometimes called child custody, is an important issue for divorcing parents. If you just started the divorce process, some of your first concerns may have been over where your child will live, how frequently you will see your child and who will be able to make decisions about your child's upbringing. While you and your spouse can work together on a parenting plan that addresses these concerns, sometimes collaboration does not work and a court must make these decisions.

Hook Norton C of E
Primary School
Live Love Care Think Learn Dare
Here are some of the things that we have been doing this week
Reception Read Write Inc
Both groups have learnt the sounds ay and ee
Blue Group
Blue Group have started using the Read Write Inc Ditty reading and writing books.
They have read a story, then filled in the missing words in a sentence and then written a given sentence. To be able to write the sentence they have to be able to hold the sentence in their head and so any help at home getting them to repeat a whole sentence or playing spoken memory games would be very helpful, for example:
Person 1" I went to the shop and I bought some eggs"
Person 2 "I went to the shop and I bought some eggs and some bread" continue to take turns making the list longer each time. Silly items can be added to make it more fun.
Green Group
Green Group worked on Read Write Inc. Ditty Book 2 story 1.
They have read a story, practiced the correct formation of letters, filled in the missing words in a sentence and then written a given sentence.
Next Week:
Forest School Group 2- lots of warm layers, thick socks, hats and gloves please.
All children will have the opportunity to visit the Prayer Space in the library.
Nursery children next week's sound is s.
Our focus children next week will be Attie, Leo, Tahlia and Reggie
We finish on Friday at the usual time for Half Term Break.

Twin Foals Birthday – Sunny and Angel at Helen Woodward Animal Center
Lena's foals, Sunny and Angel, turn two on March 28
Happy Birthday, Sunny and Angel!
Just two years ago, Sunny and Angel, the two miracle twin foals who grew up in front of a streaming webcam, were born. Within five hours of their birth, Sunny and Angel came to Helen Woodward Animal Center's Equine Hospital to receive medical attention. For horses, twin births are very rare and life-threatening.
Sunny and Angel may have looked like normal foals, but these babies and their mother, a 9-year-old mare named, Lena, overcame unbelievable odds!
Lena is a 9-year-old, maiden, registered Quarter Horse. Her owner didn't know Lena was expecting twins until they were being born on Sunday, March 28. 2010. The colt has been named, "Sunny" and a filly is called, "Angel."
Twin birth for horses is so rare that it's hard to find accurate statistics. It is believed that the chance of a mare and both foals surviving birth is around 1 in 10,000. In most cases there is a 1 in 15,000 chance of twin foals surviving the first two weeks.
Under the care of Dr. Rodrigo Vazquez, the staff of Helen Woodward Animal Center's Equine Hospital and thousands of online fans who watched their 24/7 streaming webcam, Sunny and Angel beat the odds are are turning two-years-old on March 28!
Watch them play when they were mere months old and Angel had her splints on:
**Update** Brand new photos of Sunny and Angel together – taken March, 2012!
