You are here: Home / Action Ideas / Remittances
October 20, 2014 by aspencsg
The Basic Idea:
Provide an affordable alternative to high cost money transfer operators (MTOs) for immigrants living in the U.S. to remit much needed funds to their family and friends abroad.
For most immigrants the traditional method of sending money to their friends and family is through Western Union or other high cost money transfer operators (MTOs), but new options are emerging to reduce the cost of these transactions to the remitter, including access to a simple bank account and access to pre-paid cards.
Larger international banks may permit the remitter and a joint account holder in the country of origin to simply have access to the same account – but this depends on the remitter having a bank account, and most do not.
Prepaid cards have emerged as a product to serve underbanked consumers – many of whom are immigrants. Many prepaid card providers are starting to add remittance features to their prepaid cards to allow customers to send funds to friends and family abroad.
There are a variety of models for incorporating cards into remittances, including:
Card-to-cash: the recipient of funds has the ability to access transferred funds directly in cash. This model is difficult because of the frequent lack of a reliable disbursement network in receiving counties.
Dual-card: Two cards are issued with access to the same account – where the recipient can access full amount of funds in account. A variation of this model uses a sub-account where two cards are issued and primary cardholder can transfer funds to sub-account accessible to recipient cardholder.
Recipient-only card: Sender purchases a prepaid debit card in the U.S. which is sent directly to recipient or issued in the recipient's county. The sender can reload funds onto the card.
Customers load funds onto these cards through the card issuer's reloading network which tends to include a combination of online, phone and retail locations and allows for reloading through cash payment or a transfer of funds using a bank account, credit or debit card, or sometimes a PayPal account.
Some companies are payroll card issuers, adding the option of transferring the funds that have been deposited onto the payroll cards by an employer.
Remitters who become bank or credit union account holders have access to wider array of financial products and services that facilitate savings and asset development.
Who Does It?
Partnership between community-based organizations and a bank, credit union or check-cashing company
Remittance transfers can serve as a gateway for immigrants – many of whom are unbanked and rely on payday lenders, check cashers and wire transfer companies – to enter the financial mainstream, giving them access to affordable bank accounts and other traditional financial services.
Through remittance transfers, immigrants avoid the fees and hidden costs of wire transfer companies – which often charge high transaction fees.
Community organizations can help facilitate trust-building between immigrants and banks.
Bank account-based remittance products are typically less expensive than those offered by money transfer operators.
Many banks and credit unions still do not offer a remittance product, and there is a lack of consumer protections and clear industry standards.
Most mainstream financial institutions maintain identification requirements that bar many immigrants from accessing their services – whereas wire transfer services do not require Social Security numbers or identification for transactions under $1,000.
Money transfer organizations have many sites around the world, making it difficult to compete, especially since many remittances are sent to areas with little or no banking infrastructure.
People trust the way they have been transferring funds for years – even immigrant families with bank accounts are unlikely to use banks to send money abroad.
Issuing a card to a recipient abroad raises a number operational and regulatory challenges – not only does the card needs to be reliably delivered, but the recipient abroad might not be familiar with card-based programs.
Low English language proficiency among some immigrants can also be a barrier. Many money transfer operators have staff members that speak the language of their immigrant customers.
Unless there is an existing prepaid card structure, there may be significant operational challenges – especially for smaller banks and credit unions that lack scale and resources.
Simplicity Index
Save money, build trust. Families save on transfer fees and can begin to become more comfortable with using American financial institutions.
Keep It, Grow It – Remittances help unbanked immigrant families avoid expensive hidden fees, allowing them to keep more of what they earn and grow what they keep.
The Latino Community Credit Union is the first federally insured financial institution to focus on low- and moderate-income Latinos. LCCU offers a number of alternative financial services, including remittances, in addition to bank accounts, ATM cards, and loans. LCCU sends money to more than 30 countries and to locations in the U.S. at a low-cost. http://www.latinoccu.org
The National Council of La Raza (NCLR) has a number of relevant resources which provide guidance for immigrants in financial areas such as check cashing, remittances, and money orders. http://www.nclr.org/index.php/issues_and_programs/community_and_family_wealth/banking_financial.

U.S. Military Official: Combat to Continue in Afghanistan Until Taliban Surrenders
NATO-backed Afghan forces will continue operations against the Taliban until the Islamic group surrenders its arms and yields to the internationally recognized government, headed by President Ashraf Ghani, a U.S. military official said.
"The people of Afghanistan want and deserve peace, and peace will come to Afghanistan when the Taliban lay down their weapons, renounce violence, and reconcile with the National Unity Government," Navy Capt. William Salvin, a spokesman for the NATO-led Resolute Support mission in Afghanistan, told the Washington Free Beacon.
The remarks were in response to renewed calls by the Afghan Taliban urging the Trump administration to withdraw troops from the country.
In an open letter addressed last week to President Donald Trump, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said Trump recognized the errors of his predecessors by ordering a review of U.S. strategy in the region.
Mujahid warned Trump against heeding the advice of the military, which supports the deployment of additional troops to Afghanistan, and instead recommended the administration pursue a "complete withdrawal."
The note, 1,600 words in all, said a withdrawal will "truly deliver American troops from harm's way" and "will bring to an end an inherited war by rectifying the mistakes of former American officials."
The United States currently maintains an estimated 8,400 troops in Afghanistan, most of whom are assigned to the 13,000-strong NATO force tasked with training and advising Afghan forces. Some 2,000 American soldiers carry out counterterrorism operations alongside Afghan troops to combat terrorist groups, including the Taliban and Islamic State.
After a months-long policy review, Trump will reveal an updated strategy proposal for the 16-year war Monday night.
With Taliban forces resurging across the country and the war at a stalemate, Trump is expected to approve additional U.S. forces to expand the military's train, advise, and assist mission alongside Afghan troops.
White House national security adviser H.R. McMaster, along with many others in the Pentagon, have supported Army Gen. John Nicholson's request for up to 4,000 additional U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Defense Secretary Jim Mattis received the authority in June to deploy those troops, but he held off on a decision until the president delivered a broader strategy proposal.
The White House released a statement Sunday night that Trump will address the armed services and general public "to provide an update on the path forward for America's engagement in Afghanistan and South Asia."

When puppies play with each other, they use their mouths, so they may also be inclined to bite or "mouth" your hand during play or when being petted.
Puppies must learn Bite Inhibition. That's basically how hard is too hard or the difference between a play bite and a bite-bite. So as long as your puppy keeps the mouthing soft, allow this natural puppy behavior to continue.
If your puppy bites you too hard to the point it causes any pain or discomfort make a loud YELP or OUCH and immediately stop playing or interacting with the puppy.
Fold your arms in front of you, and turn away from her.
Continue to turn away from her until all four paws are on the ground, then praise her.

Archery Practice Laws in Florida
Archers in the Sunshine State can practice the sport by simply shooting target objects or by hunting wildlife. You can meet other archers and participate in tournaments by joining archery clubs and associations such as the North Florida Archers in Jacksonville and the Florida Archery Association. Many rules and regulations are enforced when it comes to archery hunts. Though no laws in the state regulate target shooting, archery groups and associations often have their own set of rules and regulations.
Archery Permit
Archers must obtain an archery permit from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to practice archery for recreational hunting. You can purchase hunting licenses and archery permits from FWC's website (myfwc.com). You can also obtain hunting licenses and archery permits at tax collectors' offices, license agents or by calling 888-HUNT-FLORIDA. The permits allow you to hunt for different types of wildlife include deer, turkey, quail, and gray squirrel.
Quota Permit
Archers need a quota permit to hunt in the state's Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs). The FWC has an application process for archers who want to participate in archery hunts in these regulated areas. The permits are issued by random drawing and the FWC requires applicants to be at least 16 years of age. Applicants must complete the application worksheet online to be eligible for the random drawing. Permits are limited and are subject to specific hunt dates and areas. WMAs include Dinner Island Ranch, Devil's Hammock, Lafayette Creek, Perdido River, Okaloacoochee Slough, Four Creeks, Hatchet Creek, Lafayette Forest, Thomas Creek Kings Road Unit, Hilochee Osprey Unit and Babcock Ranch Preserve. Applicants for the quota permit must also have a valid Management Area Permit authorizing the holder to hunt on areas that are owned or managed by the FWC.
Hunt Seasons and Bag Limits
The FWC publishes a hunting regulations booklet each year that details all the archery hunting laws in the state, including archery hunting seasons and bag limits. The seasons vary depending on the targeted species and the zone or area. For example, as of August 2011, the archery season for deer in Zone A is from July 30 to August 28 for antlered or antlerless deer. Zone A encompasses the lower part of the state, including Sarasota, De Soto, Palm Beach, Dade, Monroe, Glades and Charlotte.
Children can practice and learn about archery by participating in the National Archery in the Schools Program (NASP). The two-week program provides instructions for international style target archery for 4th-to-2th graders as part of their physical education classes. Teachers who present the archery course undergo an eight-hour training program. The class covers content such as archery history, equipment, technique, safety, mental concentration and self-improvement.

When The Restored Version Of Doctor Who's Long-Destroyed The Power Of The Daleks Can Finally Be Seen
By Laura Hurley published 7 September 16
Doctor Who has been an institution of British television for more than fifty years now, but there are big gaps in surviving content from the early days thanks to a BBC archive purge back in 1974. Even some of the biggest serials in Who history were lost to time when the original negatives were destroyed. Luckily for fans who have wanted a look at Patrick Troughton's first venture as the second Doctor, a restoration of his debut story is in the works, and it'll be available sooner than we might have guessed. "The Power of the Daleks" will premiere on November 12 on BBC America.
"The Power of Daleks" will make its way to the airwaves for the first time in the 21st century on November 12. It will then be available for streaming on the BBC America App and BBCAmerica.com for those who aren't able to catch it live. The debut of Two originally kicked off in November of 1966, so the restoration will coincide with his fiftieth anniversary.
Back in 1966, the concept of a main character surviving his own death to be played by a different actor was completely new. Patrick Troughton replacing William Hartnell as the Doctor was an unprecedented twist to keep a show going even when it should fall apart, and it's been a travesty that Two's first adventure through space and time had been lost to the ages. The restoration means that Who fans will get to see Two team up with companions Polly and Ben to battle the dastardly Daleks on the planet of Vulcan.
Of course, the destruction of the original Doctor Who negatives back in 1974 does mean that we'll never see the entire serial as it actually aired. A lot of the content is gone for good. Fortunately, enough of the original remains that BBC has found a way to fill in the gaps. Using a combination of original audio recordings, photographs, film clips, and new animation, "The Power of the Daleks" will be a complete - if somewhat unusual - story.
The animation will be obvious, and the serial won't look exactly as it did to Brits who caught it live in 1966. Given that it actually only aired once in the U.K. and was only sent overseas to New Zealand and Australia, however, even a crude recreation of "The Power of the Daleks" would be a treat. If the first look is any indication, we're in for much more than crude animation. We won't be confusing animated Two for Patrick Troughton's Two, but it shouldn't be too hard to suspend disbelief. All in all, the "Power of the Daleks" restoration is worth getting excited about as its fiftieth anniversary approaches.
Tune in to BBC America on November 12 to catch the restoration of "The Power of the Daleks," and don't forget to check out our fall TV premiere schedule to see what else you'll be able to watch in the near future.

Home Digital Magazine December 2017 Issue Turbulence in the Heart of Islam
Turbulence in the Heart of Islam
Dr. James Dorsey's piece will be a treat for all those who want to make sense of what's happening in the Muslim world and how it is changing, evolving into something new. He brings in-depth analysis of the turbulence inside Saudi Arabia.
Dr. James Dorsey
Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has won the first round of what could prove to be an unprecedented power grab that comes to haunt him. The prince's frontal assault on significant segments of the kingdom's elite; assertions of unease in the military and the national guard, and the expansion to Lebanon of the kingdom's proxy war with Iran suggest that there could be a tail end.
There is little doubt that Prince Mohammed is in firm control for now. However, there is also little doubt that many in the kingdom's elite are licking their wounds and that the crown prince believes that bold action, crackdowns and repression is the best way of ensuring that he retains increasingly absolute power.
There is equally little doubt that the prince sees the Trump administration's tougher stand on Iran as a window of opportunity to turn the tide in what has been a four-decades-long proxy war with the Islamic Republic of Iran in the kingdom's favour.
Criticism and potential opposition to Prince Mohammed's reform plans and style of governing ranges from those that feel shut out of the corridors of power to those who see their vested interests threatened by his reforms and actions; the war in Yemen, the Gulf crisis that pits the Kingdom and some of its allies against Qatar, his putting limits on ultra-conservative social codes, his power-hungry, autocratic style, and ultra-conservatives who oppose social liberalization.

Al Saud & Wahabi Clergy Power-Sharing Agreement?
Prince Mohammed's reform plans, articulated in a document entitled Vision 2030, challenge the power-sharing agreement between the ruling Al Saud family and the ultra-conservative religious establishment on which the kingdom was founded, the consensus-based decision making process within the family, social codes that are rooted in Bedouin tradition and an ultra-conservative strand of Islam, and these amount to a unilateral rewriting of the social contract in which the population was pampered by a cradle-to-grave state in exchange for surrender of political rights and adherence to restrictive social norms.
Future of Desert Kingdom: Legitimacy through Reforms
Restructuring, if not abolishing, of the agreement, may be long overdue but remains politically risky. The agreement gave the ruling family the kind of religious legitimacy no other Gulf ruler has possessed.
It allowed the family to fall back on the ultra-conservative establishment in times of crisis like in 1979 when after the Iranian revolution and the attack by militants on the Ka'aba, the government gave conservative establishment greater sway over education and social life in its bid to shore up its own religious credentials.
Going forward, the Al Sauds' legitimacy will have to stem from their ability to provide goods and services or in other words from the success of Prince Mohammed's planned reforms as well as his ability to win his multiple regional battles. So far Prince Mohammed's track record on reforms is mixed; with the lifting of a ban on women's driving perhaps his biggest success.
There is also little doubt that many in the kingdom's elite are licking their wounds and that the crown prince believes that bold action, crackdowns and repression is the best way of ensuring that he retains increasingly absolute power.
By and large, however, he has yet to deliver on the economic reforms that will make or break him. His regional track record is dismal with his ill-fated war in Yemen, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on the ascendancy six years into a war in which the kingdom supported rebel groups, increasing Iranian influence in Iraq, and Lebanon teetering on the brink.
The reforms were designed to take the Saudi economy and the kingdom's autocracy into the 21st century in a bid to secure the ruling family's grip on power. In other words, the reforms sought to prepare Saudi Arabia for a post-oil era through diversification and streamlining and introducing social reforms necessary for economic change.
Social reforms that would also satisfy aspirations of a population – of which more than half is under the age of 30. Political change was not part of Prince Mohammed's vision, and if anything, political control has been tightened.

Purge against Corruption or Power & Asset Grab?
Many in the kingdom saw merit in the reforms. Youth yearned for greater freedom and recreational and economic opportunities. Businessmen saw opportunity while activists envisioned change. The kingdom's religious establishment, although critical of the social reforms and curbs on its power to enforce ultra-conservative norms, backed Prince Mohammed in a bid to salvage whatever influence it could.
Various grandsons of King Abdulaziz, Saudi Arabia's founder, resented Prince Mohammed's mercurial rise and almost unprecedented powers. Nonetheless, potential threats are rooted less in the fact that Prince Mohammed is in a position of near-absolute power, or the difficult nature of the reforms.
These threats are primarily grounded in his insistence on being exclusive rather than inclusive in his approach: his failure to manage expectations; his top-down execution and naïve belief that change can be imposed through repression and a stroke of the pen; and a perception that he is impetuous, impulsive and a gambler.
Prince Mohammed's most recent purge of the kingdom's elite is a case in point. Corruption and concepts of conflict of interest were embedded in the kingdom's DNA from the day it was founded.
Rooted in a system that until the late 1950s made no distinction between the budgets of the state and the ruling family, Saudi laws still only barely delineate the dividing lines between them and contain nothing that would amount to a code to prevent conflict of interest or regulate the way members of the ruling family do business with the state.
Reinforcing the perception of a power grab, is the fact that Prince Mohammed has used the purge to control the narrative domestically as well as across the Arab world by including the kingdom's media moguls in the purge.
In fact, business deals often amount to insider baseball in a country in which the family's finances and sources of revenue are a closely held secret. In fact, if revealed, the Fortune 500 billionaire's list could well look very different given that it would be populated by many more Saudis.
Life magazine editor Noel F. Bush on a visit in 1943 during which he travelled in the country with its first king, Ibn Saud, portrayed a ruler who operated on the principle of 'the state is mine' and doled out welfare to his subjects. It is a system that has since repeatedly been upgraded but whose fundaments remain in place.
Members of the ruling family and associated businessmen initially often made their money by representing foreign companies and receiving huge commissions on government contracts.
They often took loans from banks which they failed to pay back. National Commercial Bank, where numbered accounts of princes were managed by senior management, nearly collapsed at the beginning of this century because of unpaid loans.

"Our unemployment rate would drop rather significantly if the billions we squandered on kickbacks and lavish personal enrichment schemes dressed up as public-works projects were spent instead on the development of small to medium enterprises, vocational training and 21st-century education reforms…
In Saudi Arabia, senior officials and princes become billionaires as contracts are either enormously inflated or, at worst, a complete mirage," said Jamal Khashoggi, a Saudi journalist who recently moved to the United States in anticipation of the crown prince's crackdowns, in a contribution to The Washington Post.
Mr. Khashoggi cited the example of an airport built "in the wrong location simply to benefit the princes who own the land. They received the land for free from the government and then got extravagant compensation for the property."
What makes Prince Mohammed's selective purge look more like a power and asset grab than an anti-corruption campaign is a fact that there is no effort to introduce legal and regulatory codes and no element of due process.
The purge's projection as an effort to root out corruption would have garnered greater credibility had it involved transparency, lived up to Prince Mohammed's vow that all are equal under the law, and tackled corruption structurally rather than punitively.
Little wonder that Prince Mohammed's purge struck a popular code among a population long upset with the ruling family's privileges and corrupt practices.
Similarly, it's no surprise that the elite that includes Prince Mohammed and his closest relatives was caught by surprise. They were all part of a system and a way of doing business that went back more than eight decades and from which they had all benefitted.
War against Al Jazeera & other Media
The success of Qatar's state-owned Al Jazeera network, that since its launch in 1996, radically changed the region's media landscape was one reason why a UAE-Saudi alliance that in June declared a diplomatic and economic boycott of the Gulf state included the shuttering of the Qatari network among its core demands.
Al Jazeera English that in contrast to Al Jazeera Arabic largely adheres to standards of independent reporting, stands out in a tightly state-controlled media landscape in which many outlets, including Mr. Al Waleed's Al Arabiya network, have lost a degree of credibility by projecting themselves as partisans in a media war rather than purveyors of the truth.
The prospect of bringing the giants of Saudi and Arab media under unified government control is worrying. It raises concern that the diversity of opinion and coverage will be further curtailed.
Reinforcing the perception of a power grab, is the fact that Prince Mohammed has used the purge to control the narrative domestically as well as across the Arab world by including the kingdom's media moguls in the purge. Among those detained was Waleed al-Ibrahim, a founder of Middle East Broadcasting Company (MBC) that operates the Al Arabiya television network, established to counter Qatar's state-owned Al Jazeera, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, whose Rotana Group has partnered with media baron Rupert Murdoch's News Corp, and Salah Abdullah Kamel, whose conglomerate includes the ART TV network.
Mohammed bin Salman is clearly intent on controlling the message as he conducts a dramatic restructuring of the Saudi state and economy," Kristin Diwan, senior resident scholar at the Arab Gulf States Institute in Washington, told the Financial Times.

Mr. Al-Ibrahim, Mr Kamel, and Prince Alwaleed's media outlets could well change hands as part of Prince Mohammed's intention to confiscate assets worth $800 billion under the mum of his anti-corruption campaign. With a large portion of the assets of those detained in the purge difficult to access because they are parked outside of the kingdom, media assets take on added significance
Established hours before the purge, the anti-corruption commission was empowered by decree with "returning funds to the state's public treasury (and) registering the assets and funds as state property." Eurasia Group, a political risk consultancy, noted that Prince Mohammed "needs cash to fund the government's investment plans."
The group said in a memo to clients that "it was becoming increasingly clear that additional revenue is needed to improve the economy's performance. The government will also strike deals with businessmen and royals to avoid arrest, but only as part of a greater commitment to the local economy."
Crown prince's crackdown on any form of criticism or dissent that manifested itself with an earlier wave of arrests of Islamic scholars, judges, intellectuals and activists as well as his quest to centralize power.
The apparent move to tighten state control of media strokes with the crown prince's crackdown on any form of criticism or dissent that manifested itself with an earlier wave of arrests of Islamic scholars, judges, intellectuals and activists as well as his quest to centralize power.
The crackdown and potential takeover of media assets comes at a time of the unprecedented, more freewheeling public debate on social media about Prince Mohammed's reforms and policy changes as well as the kingdom's foreign policy and national security challenges.
To succeed, Prince Mohammed will have to do far more than crack down employing measures that are populist and enhance expectations of change. He will also have to rely on more than absolute power and the support of the Trump administration.
To succeed, Prince Mohammed will have to include various segments of the elite and the population in the reform process and manage unrealistic expectations that change will occur overnight.

Bruce Riedel, former CIA official and Saudi expert, said: following a tweet by President Donald J. Trump in support of Prince Mohammed: "The Trump administration has tied the United States to the impetuous young crown prince of Saudi Arabia and seems to be quite oblivious to the dangers. But they are growing every day."

When you are missing one or more of your teeth, boost your confidence with dental implants. In contrast to temporary solutions, this restorative process replaces one or multiple teeth with permanent, long-lasting prosthetic. Dr. Jennifer Cha can take a comprehensive look at your oral history, X-rays, and may utilize 3D cone beam imaging to determine which implants can help you regain your beautiful, healthy smile.
Dental implants are independent structures, unlike other options that depend on support from surrounding teeth, such as traditional dentures, partials, and bridges. Dr. Jennifer Cha will recommend the best option for the restoration of your smile.
Dental implants help maintain the integrity of your jawbone so that it does not lose density over time. Because your jawbone supports your face and surrounding structures, a healthy, sturdy jawbone reduces premature sagging and wrinkling.
Replacing your tooth or teeth permanently means more comfortable eating. Better nutrition and greater confidence in your chewing will improve your quality of life.
Implants do not rely on surrounding teeth. There is no worry of compromising the appearance or structure of neighboring teeth. The finished product is a natural, restored smile.
Implants last much longer than dental bridges and dentures, making them a sound investment for a long-lasting smile.
At the office of Dr. Jennifer Cha, in Pasadena, we are dedicated to providing you with the care that will help you achieve a healthy, brilliant smile. Please contact us today to schedule your dental appointment with Dr. Jennfier Cha. Contact our San Gabriel Velley office located Trader Joe's Plaza on Huntington Dr. and San Gabriel Blvd.

The Reynolds Family, part 2: Arcade
May 1, 2019 by Jim DeVinney
The original Arcade, built by Abelard Reynolds in 1828, was torn down in 1932 and replaced by this handsome 10-story Art Deco building, reportedly one of the first buildings in Rochester with central air-conditioning.
The winter of 1812-13 was a severe one. Settlers in the area surrounding the One Hundred Acre Tract hunkered down in their homes against icy winds and huge snowdrifts. Families rarely saw anyone beyond household members. An occasional visit from the local postmaster, Abelard Reynolds, was always most welcome. There wasn't much mail arriving in those days; legend claims that Reynolds carried what little there was in his hat. However, the number of recipients grew quickly over the next few years.
In 1817, Nathaniel Rochester hand-carried an application for a village charter to the state legislature in Albany. It was approved on March 21 and Rochesterville was officially recognized. But there was a rival on the east side of the river—a village named Carthage was taking hold farther north where mills were harnessing the water power of the lower falls. Carthage had the backing of Canandaigua merchants and, with access to Lake Ontario, its prospects for becoming a major commercial center seemed more promising than Rochester's little village.
Everything changed in 1823 when the Erie Canal was completed as far as Rochesterville. It would be two more years before the canal reached Buffalo but, with commercial traffic open all the way to Albany, Rochesterville's size, population, and business opportunities grew rapidly. In April 1826, an "act to incorporate the village of Rochester" was passed, dropping the "ville" at the end of the Founder's name, and dividing the community into five wards. The northern limit of the Third Ward was the Erie Canal and a portion of Buffalo Street (today's West Main); the eastern boundary was the Genesee River.
When Abelard Reynolds first settled within the One Hundred Acre Tract, he operated a saddle shop in the front part of his home—the Tract's first frame house (as opposed to log cabins). In 1828, Reynolds relocated his family and, at a cost of $30,000, replaced his house with a four-and-one-half story Arcade capped by a turret that looked out over the expanding village. Just one decade after Rochesterville's original incorporation, people were astonished that so much of what they saw from that rooftop could have been accomplished in so short a time. Within the Arcade were shops, offices and, of course, Abelard's post office. For decades, the building served as a center for Rochester's business life. It has been suggested that Reynolds' Arcade might have been the first indoor mall in the country, a claim now being investigated by staff of the Local History department at the Central Library.
In 1809, Reynolds had married the former Lydia Strong of Pittsfield, Massachusetts. They had six children, four of whom survived to maturity—two girls and two boys. The older daughter Clarissa married Dr. Henry Loomis Strong of Illinois (I have no idea if he was related to Lydia's family). She gave birth to three daughters before dying at the age of 41. Mary Eliza married Byron Daniel McAlpine of Rochester; she had one daughter before dying at the age of 40. She is buried in the Reynolds plot of Mount Hope Cemetery.
In 1820, the elder son William Abelard Reynolds began his professional career as a barber (the second one in Rochesterville). Ten years later he pioneered a nursery and seed company. He maintained an office in the Arcade and a nursery on Sophia Street (now South Plymouth Avenue). He hired a young German immigrant named George Ellwanger to manage it for him—the same man who eventually joined with Patrick Barry to create the largest nursery business in America at that time.
In 1845, Abelard was 60 years old and gave management of the Arcade over to his son William. Three years later William built Corinthian Hall behind the Arcade and it would be the scene for many of the city's cultural events, including—just a year after it opened—the first public appearance by the Fox Sisters, spiritualists who dazzled a large audience with their ability to communicate with the dead.
In 1867, at the age of 82, Abelard suffered a paralyzing stroke. The family feared for the worst but he survived. Shockingly, it was 60-year-old William who died unexpectedly in 1872. The baby of the family, Mortimer Fabrius Reynolds, replaced his brother as manager of the Arcade. His Spring Street mansion was in the heart of the Third Ward's "Ruffled Shirt District"—the subject of my next article.

Landini plans to hit the road with a range of products during 2022
7th February 2022 10th February 2022 webmaster @LandiniUKROI, Landini, Trekker crawler
To be on show at events this year is the Stage V-emission compliant Landini Trekker4, equipped with a passive regeneration DPF, a DOC oxidation catalyst and, only for models with over 56 kW of power, the SCR selective emission reduction catalyst and the 10.5-litre AdBlue tank.
The 4-085, 4-095, 4-105, 4-110 and 4-120 models offer power outputs ranging from a minimum of 75hp to a maximum of 112hp.
The same dimensions and height as the Stage IIIB family make the Trekker4 suitable for working in orchards (F version) and mountains (M version). Its style follows the new and appreciated family feeling adopted for the new Landini products.
The most important innovation concerns the platform, which is completely suspended from the wagon and engine compartment. This solution provides total insulation from heat and vibrations, with a clear improvement in comfort. Front and side visibility and ergonomics have been improved, thanks to the optimised driver's seat and the completely redesigned side control console.
As an option, the new 6-post cab, available with a category 2 filtration system, air conditioning and radio, protects the operator from dust, noise and atmospheric agents all year round.
The 16 + 8 speed transmission operates through a synchro reverse shuttle (a plus compared to the competition) and can be configured with overdrive, to increase the top speed up to 15 km/h, or alternatively with the Creeper, which allows a minimum speed of 300 metres per hour.
Tracks are available in steel or rubber. In the F version with a track width of 1,100 mm, the semi-lubricated steel tracks range from 310 to 360 mm in width, while in the M version with a track width of 1,300 mm, the same tracks are available in 400 or 450 mm. The rubber soles are 400 mm wide for both versions, with track widths of 1,132 mm in the F model and 1,300 mm in the M model.
The brake pedals are suspended in automotive style and hydraulically controlled, to the benefit of comfort and safety.
The tanks, one at the rear and one at the side, are connected to each other and have a total capacity of 85 litres, thus allowing maximum working autonomy during the day in the field.
The Trekker4 has a dual pump hydraulic circuit, with a 28.5 l/min pump for steering and a 42 l/min pump for managing hitches and spool valves. 3 hydraulic rear spool valves can be added to the basic equipment, but two more can be added as an option for a total of 5, with optional 6 front quick couplers and flow regulator. The rear hitch, further enhanced with respect to the previous version and enriched with the optional ELS, has a maximum load capacity of 3,150 kg in the standard configuration and 4,500 kg when equipped with 2 additional hydraulic cylinders.

DO NASCIMENTO, FABIANO
Ykytu
NOW-AGAIN
NA 5220LP NA 5220LP
LP version. "Ykytu is Brasilian guitarist Fabiano do Nascimento's fourth album for Now-Again Records. Produced by Nascimento's longtime engineer Jason Hiller, this album is do Nascimento's first solo guitar album and, like his previous album, Preludio, is reliant on do Nascimento's own compositions, with a little help from like-minded musical travelers. In keeping with the trajectory of his previous albums, including Dança dos Tempos and Tempo dos Mestres, Ykytu follows folkloric Brasilian music, Brasilian jazz, bossa-nova and samba as experienced through the mind and able fingers of an expansive musician, this time in a minimalist, meditative manner. 'Even though this album is a bit experimental and even abstract at times, It is meant to be a calming and easy listening experience,' do Nascimento offers. 'I choose to keep the songs and arrangements intentionally very bare and stripped down. Just adding few layers and colors here and there.' The album came together during the Covid-19 pandemic, but one hears anything but isolation in Ykytu's grooves. Do Nascimento performed the album almost entirely with a Strimon Timeline pedal, with a few loops and overdubs, and the result is a full-fledged, if quiet and subtle, conversation Do Nascimento has with himself, as he ruminates about this stage in his life, in his musical journey, and his music's place in the world. Ykytu means 'wind' in the indigenous Brazilian Guarani language. In his own way, as he was quarantined in Los Angeles, Do Nascimento has succeeded in journeying outwards, in heeding the call of the open world. At the same time, he has remained true to the spirit and calling of his forebears, hearing their whispers, amplifying them, augmenting them, and allowing them to flow outwards."

Бенсио́ () (умер в ) — первый наследственный граф Ампурьяса и Руссильона (915—916), представитель Ампурьясской династии.

Биография
Бенсио был старшим сыном графа Ампурьяса Сунийе II. Отец женил его на Готлане — единственной дочери Миро Старого, после смерти которого в 896 году присоединил к своим владениям графство Руссильон.

Сунийе II умер в 915 году, и Бенсио стал графом Ампурьяса и Руссильона. Он был первым правителем этих княжеств, получившим власть по наследству, а не по назначению монархов Западно-Франкского королевства. Своим соправителем он объявил младшего брата Госберта.

Главным событием очень недолгого правления Бенсио было щедрое пожертвование, сделанное им , во главе которой стоял ещё один его брат, Элмерад.

Последняя хартия, данная графом Бенсио, датирована 4 марта 916 года, а уже в документе от 1 сентября того же года он упоминается как умерший. Его супруга Готлана скончалась ещё раньше мужа.

Так как брак Бенсио был бездетным, после его смерти единоличным правителем Ампурьяса и Руссильона стал его брат Госберт.

The Gotha WD.14, WD.20, and WD.22 (for Wasser Doppeldecker - "Water Biplane") were a family of biplane torpedo bomber floatplanes developed in Germany during World War I.

Development
They were conventional biplanes, essentially enlarged versions of the WD.11 and like it they had twin engines mounted tractor-fashion on the lower wing. The wider fuselage of these aircraft allowed the pilot and observer to sit side-by-side in the open cockpit, and a second 7.92 mm (.312 in) machine gun was added in an open dorsal position. Hinges were added to the wings, allowing them to be folded for storage.

69 WD.14s were built, but were found to be ineffective in their intended role of torpedo bomber, since their low speed made them extremely vulnerable to defensive fire. Many were subsequently converted into mine layers, and some were even used as transports, landing machine gun detachments during Operation Albion in October 1917. The WD.20 differed from the WD.14 only in having large auxiliary fuel tanks for long-range reconnaissance and having no torpedo- or mine-carrying capability.

A small number of generally similar WD.22 prototypes were built, these differing from the WD.20 in having two extra engines added, creating two tractor-pusher pairs, one on each wing.

Variants
WD.14 Twin-engined torpedo bomber
WD.20 Twin-engined long-range reconnaissance aircraft; three built.
WD.22 Four-engined long-range reconnaissance aircraft, powered by 2 x  Mercedes D.III tractor engines and 2 x  Mercedes D.I pusher engines in tandem nacelles; two built.

Team strengthens bond with its supporters
Monday, 14 September 2015 16:02
Written by DSRT Admin
Dartmoor Search and Rescue Ashburton has strengthened the bond with its supporters with the launch of a new Supporters Club, dart2ZERO.
On Sunday September 13th the team opened its Rescue Centre doors to celebrate the launch of the club.
Cream tea was served followed by a guided tour around the team's specialist vehicles and equipment to thank supporters for their amazing support throughout the year.
The volunteers who assist Devon's emergency services when people go missing or become injured in remote locations, rely on the public for donations to continue its 24-hour service that can be life-saving. It's not just about the money though as the busy team frequently need more volunteers to help with fundraising events vital to its continued operation as team Fundraising Officer Al Pewsey explained:
"Our supporters are our lifeblood and dart2ZERO acknowledges the amazing help individuals, groups and businesses give us each year. It also gives those with some time to spare an opportunity to get involved with a search and rescue team without the callout and training commitments, which can put some people off."
Club Chair Ayse Rifat was delighted at how well received the new supporters initiative has been:
"We are very excited about dart2ZERO. It enables us to show our appreciation with club newsletters, access to exclusive competitions and special events organised especially for our supporters."
"For those who have some time to spare and would like to get involved with fundraising, baking a cake or supporting the team in other ways, dart2ZERO will be perfect for them. Club members will even have the opportunity to act as a casualty on team training nights should they wish too."
The team of volunteers cover not just Dartmoor but rural and urban areas across Devon and sometimes further afield, and dart2ZERO will support and raise awareness of the great work the volunteers do.

I was in 6th grade. The news was on in our living room. A constant stream of images of students limping along with the help of their friends, fleeing a school. 2 gunmen had killed themselves after killing 13 innocent children and a teacher. It was Columbine High School. I was terrified. "Could someone shoot us at our school?" I didn't feel safe. I was frozen with fear.
It was an early September morning. I was headed to class. I was in 8th grade; 14 years old. I got to class and the teachers were a little frantic and were pulling television sets into our classroom. They turned on the news. This was strange. People were talking about planes crashing into something called the World Trade Center; I had never heard of such a thing in my little southern classroom. After weeks of nonstop images of planes smashing into those massive buildings, that billowing cloud of smoke… you know the rest. I certainly knew what they were after the attack. I was traumatized. "What kind of people would do this?" All of those lives. My heart was shattered for those thousands of families. What if it had been my family? How do you pick up the pieces after such devastation and violence? Where are the answers? How do we stay safe?
These are some questions that my five year old and other five year olds have asked. How do we answer these questions when our preschoolers ask them? What about our preteens? Our teenagers? Most of these are huge and complicated issues. And even worse is that all of them are completely out of our control.
It's hard to feel safe when you feel powerless. This is true for children too, especially since they feel powerless much more frequently than we do.
I believe it to be very important to field these questions right when they are asked rather than trying to put it off in the hopes that the child will forget. They may not ask again, but they won't forget. And I definitely don't want my child learning potentially terrifying and inaccurate information from others; like peers that have made up their own assumptions about why life is the way it is.
Always be honest. Even if a 5 year old asks questions that we may think they are too young to ask, they have asked it, which means that their questions require an honest response. I would avoid saying that dead people are just "sleeping." Death is normal. Everyone dies. Nobody knows when they will die. It can feel scary. Loss is scary. But we can comfort them with appropriate facts like they are young and that we are young. That we are healthy. That we try to prevent accidents by paying attention when driving, or swimming together to stay safe. My 5 year old and I had been reading a story. The character in the story wanted to be different people that have changed the world. And all of those people happened to be dead too. Which lead to questions about why they died. And if I would die. And if he would die. He was a bit freaked out, understandably. For weeks he would ask about cemeteries and death. I always answered openly and honestly and as comfortably as possible. I don't want him to fear death. And I definitely don't want him to think the subject is off topic just because it can be painful and uncomfortable.
Help the child feel safe and secure, physically. Witnessing terrible and violent events has an impact on kids. Like the school shooting, a child's first reaction is how does this affect him? Children are inherently self-focused, as you saw in my childhood responses and fear of the tragedies I witnessed on television, but have zero way of empathizing with the people actually living through it. I was terrified of going to school because I felt that terror so fully. It was real and it felt like it was coming for me. I could have felt more secure if my mom had talked about how I am safe. I am safe in my house. The steps the school takes to keep the children safe from harm. Prevention doesn't always prevent danger, and you can tell your child this too. But providing statistics (which aren't so great in the U.S. at the moment) of an incident actually happening to them, and ways that they can stay safe. We won't be doing school, but if my child was worried about a school shooter, I would go so far as to give him options of what to do if there was an active shooter in their school (I can save further details on that for a future morbid post), like run away or hide. At home, I can show them all the locks that we have, how we don't walk outside in the dark alone, how we always stay aware of our surroundings. Talking about ways that you stay safe when your child is scared is much more comforting than saying, "nothing will happen to you," because we can't guarantee that safety. Knowledge is power.
Don't watch the news when children are around. Or even at all. I kind of despise the news. Yes, it can provide information about current events, but it is also mostly negative and fear-based. As an adult, I just as easily fall into that constant fear of "what kind of world am I raising my children in?!" I don't read the news and I don't watch the news. If I hear of something, I will search it and read about it, but having a never ending stream of all of the worst things happening in the world isn't going to lead to any type of positive and healthy thoughts. I want to live fearlessly. I want to use common sense and know how to keep my family safe, but I can do that without reading and watching the horrors of the world every single day. Children can't separate the fact that these incidents aren't happening to them or right in their backyard. It becomes their reality and they, even at 5, would constantly be afraid. I know because I was that 5 year old.
Provide opportunities to show how they can make a positive difference. If my child sees a homeless person, he usually asks if they live on the street, if they have a home, if they have food. I explain as honestly as possible that these situations can be very complicated. I also explain how there are shelters if it is really cold, about soup kitchens, and about other ways of trying to help out for people that are in need. If disaster happens, we point out the good guys too. "That ambulance is driving to go help someone." With witnessing parents harming their children, I always try to show how we can make change. I talk with my 5 year old about this blog, about how we work every day to try and encourage, support, and guide parents; to show that it is possible and even easy to treat children as fully capable human beings without trying to teach them through control or punishment. He is usually very upset when he sees a child getting yelled at, or even worse, being physically hurt. Sometimes, there is nothing that we can do in these situations but talk to our children and model how we can make the world a healthier and more positive place.
In case anyone would like an idea of what I would say to my kids about the questions asked at the beginning, here they are.
Why are parents mean to their kids? My 5 year old asked this just a few days ago.
"Sometimes people just don't know another way to do things. Some parents had a really rough childhood where their parents did the same thing to them so it's all they know. It isn't the right way to treat people. We can try and educate people that there are better ways, kinder ways. But they have to be open to hearing it." My son asks lots of questions and understands all of this. He then followed up with, "why do parents hit their kids? Doesn't that hurt them?" I say, "yes it does. No one should ever hit a child." And it goes round and round for awhile of "if it hurts them, why do they do it?" It's tough to answer. And tough to answer without scaring him or breaking his heart even more than I can already see it breaking for those kids. But I will talk about it as much as he wants because it's important to him and it's important to me. I would be perfectly happy to raise future child advocates.
Why is that man sleeping on the side of the road?
Homelessness is very obvious in bigger cities. We can walk around downtown and see entire camps set up under bridges. Homelessness is very complicated. It isn't an easy fix. Each individual situation is completely different to the next one.
"Well, it's really complicated. Sometimes people can't find housing. Or jobs. Or housing and a job. Some have addictions. Some have mental health issues." I opened a lot of cans here for the little one to ask. I'm thankful he allowed me to save the questions on addiction and mental health issues for another time. Instead he asked, "do they have any family? Are they all alone? Where do they eat?" My heart was full with how empathetic my little man is, but also shattered by how deeply these situations touched him. I felt for him because I was that child. I remember when I was just a child walking with my mom at a baseball park. I saw a homeless man sitting under the bleachers. He was dirty and minding his own business. He caught my eye, or more like I caught his because I was staring at him. I smiled, waved, and said hi. He waved back. My mom hurried me along and said I shouldn't talk to strange men. Which is true because I was a child. But the underlying message was fear. I became afraid of strangers and afraid to speak to them, especially if they looked different, as this person did. I want my son to be aware and educated, but also empathetic to things that are confusing and potentially scary. I want him to reach out and help others when he feels the desire, rather than hiding in fear of what could be.
This was asked by a child after visiting a museum. There was a bomber plane. War is complicated. It is definitely scary. The first words that come to mind when I think of war are death. Pain. Blood. Loss. How do you explain these things to children. If my son asked about war, it would probably be the most abstract of all of the questions, especially for a 5 year old. War is armed conflict between different nations or people. How do you explain that. Probably as easy as explaining why terrorists flew a plane into a massive tower full of innocent people. There is no conceivable explanation. Someday, when we discuss events like the Holocaust, I will point out the good that a war can bring. Can it actually bring any good? I know that without anyone standing up and fighting, then millions more Jewish people would have lost their lives. I think people with power and morals need to stand up as soon as something like genocide starts happening, rather than waiting for a sign to attack; like the invasion of Poland. Sometimes guns and bombs hurt good people. But sometimes they hurt bad people too. 6 million people needn't have died. It's complicated. I will have these discussions with my kids as they grow. I won't hide the grisly and devastating truth. If I hide it, what's to say that history won't repeat itself, as it continually does.
Although death is scary because it is unknown, it feels like the easiest to answer. Maybe because I've answered it so much lately. For my 5 year old, I usually say "when you die, it is when your body stops working." You can continue on with your spiritual beliefs or non-beliefs as we do with our kids. The other day, my mom was visiting, and walked in on our discussion. My son had asked about how people die. I had made the mistake previously of saying people die usually when they are old. He has no idea what defines old and started asking if I was old, if my mom was old, and so on. So I realized I needed to be more specific. When he asked this time, I gave more concrete reasons like sometimes people drown (which we have talked about when swimming), sometimes people get fatally injured in car accidents. My mom said I shouldn't tell him these things because they will scare him. But I feel I would be doing a greater disservice by not answering his questions because then he is left to his 5 year old imagination that people just drop dead because of no reason at all. I'm sure I give too much information at times, but I want to be honest and open.
Kids are going to ask those tough questions. By being honest, open, and empathetic, we can provide our children with the tools, comfort, and security to overcome this anxiety about things that are out of our control and eventually develop into world changers.

Census 2021 is recruiting Community Advisers
August 3, 2020 NBTA
The NBTA is involved in ongoing discussions with the Office for National Statistics (ONS) about how best the liveaboard boating community can be included in the 2021 Census. ONS is now hiring hundreds of Community Advisers. Bargee Travellers, and people from all backgrounds, are encouraged to apply. The census takes place every 10 years to collect statistical information about every household in England and Wales.
Information collected by the census enables national and local decision making on essential services such as emergency services, mental health care, school places, hospital beds, GPs and dentists.
Iain Bell, Deputy National Statistician at ONS, said: "It is crucial we reach everyone across all of England and Wales – from the youngest to the oldest, those living in inner city communities and the most remote rural areas, those who have recently arrived or lived in the same place their whole lives".
"We want to make it as easy as possible for everyone to take part… These are important roles which will be challenging and exciting and ensure the data the census subsequently provides is representative of everyone."
The census helps central and local government, health authorities and other public bodies to plan and fund public services. The census is also important in providing evidence for charities and voluntary organisations to obtain funding.
See www.censusjobs.co.uk for information on the community jobs available.
All members invited to to NBTA Committee phone meeting 2nd August
