IATA says Zimbabwe owes airlines $196 million in trapped funds

Zimbabwe owes airlines about $196 million that's stuck in the country due to a shortage of hard currency, according to the International Air Transport Association.
The last payment received by the industry body was in January, regional vice president for IATA in Africa, Muhammad Ali Albakri, said in an interview on Tuesday.
The group held a meeting with Zimbabwe President Emmerson Mnangagwa and will now finalize the payment plan, he added.
The country is struggling with shortages of foreign exchange including the U.S. dollar, which is needed to transfer the proceeds of local ticket sales to airlines.
Speaking soon after the meeting, IATA director-general Mr Alexandre de Juniac said they held a successful meeting with President Mnangagwa and senior Government officials on ways to improve the air transport system in the country.
"As you know we are representing the community of the airlines especially those servicing Zimbabwean route. We figured aviation as a key contributor to the prosperity of this country," said Mr Juniac, who is also the CEO.
The two parties also discussed modalities on how the Government can clear its debt which currently stands at US$196 million for aviation services.
"We have a concern because our funds cannot be repatriated when you buy tickets to fly from or to Zimbabwe.
"The funds cannot be given back to the airlines so it's a big concern to us and we asked for a meeting with key officials and the President, who has accepted to receive us and established a framework under which we will be able to find an agreement to solve the issue.
"We will find the appropriate solution by discussing and collaborating with the Zimbabwean Government and all the authorities," said Mr Juniac.
He added that President Mnangagwa, who has been paying particular attention to their arguments, shares IATA's view that aviation is central to economic development.
Mr Juniac described Zimbabwe as a safe tourist destination which requires an efficient air transport system, hence the need to boost the aviation sector.
"Zimbabwe is so rich, so open and so attractive to tourism and to business people; so it would be very negative and counter-productive if the airlines would be forced to reduce their frequency or reduce their service.
"We will find the appropriate solution to prevent this eventuality from happening and continue on the development path for aviation in Zimbabwe. That was the purpose of the meeting. We had a fruitful, open, frank and efficient constructive meeting to find the appropriate solution for both parties," he added.
Mr Juniac said they have had similar situations of not getting their money in other countries, not only in Africa, but through strong discussions with governments and central banks, they have found appropriate solutions.
IATA believes the intervention of President Mnangagwa will help them get the US$196 million they are owed.
Mr Juniac said the figure could continue rising if no proper mechanism was found to stop its build-up, but believes President Mnangagwa's commitment was encouraging.
"This has been a very constructive meeting chaired by His Excellency the President who made a big difference by his presence and his directives to the Honourable ministers to walk with IATA to find a solution to address this issue knowing how important aviation is to Zimbabwe, in particular, and also to Africa and the world over.
"At the end of the day, IATA cares a lot about Africa as a continent. We use aviation as an instrument for economic development for all the African nations.
"We are pretty optimistic that we will make it," said Mr Juniac.
Mr Juniac is optimistic that Zimbabwe's aviation will contribute immensely to the country's economy.
He was accompanied by the company's regional vice president for Africa and the Middle East Mr Muhammad Ali Albakri.

Why It's Ignorant to Criticize Bruce Jenner's Brave Transition
Bruce's interview was about Bruce — not Kylie, Tyga, or a reality show.
by VH1 4/27/2015
– Michael Arceneaux
Note: Though Bruce Jenner has now identified as a woman, he has not yet elected to be identified under a new name or by female pronouns, so as a result, I've used male pronouns.
Even if some of Diane Sawyer's questions to Bruce Jenner seemed banal to those already familiar with the facts that gender identity and sexual orientation are not mutually exclusive or the notion that our rigid definitions of gender are damaging, the reality is the general public remains largely ignorant. We don't talk about gender enough; we don't talk about sexuality enough; we don't acknowledge the complexity in either.
This is why television remains such a powerful medium in familiarizing the masses with issues foreign to them and why pop cultural icons like Jenner make for the perfect ambassadors. What Jenner did was powerful and when his reality series premieres this summer, he will be using his platform to make meaningful contributions.
These are all good things, and yet, some have since expressed that it's not good enough. Over the weekend, I saw various people on my social media feeds try to challenge the notion that Jenner was "brave," arguing instead that he's "privileged." I think it's cute when people learn new terms and phrases and proceed to use and abuse them. It's on trend.
You don't quantify someone's level or bravery. Having access and excess does not negate consequences with being vulnerable. At one point in his life, Jenner represented the height of masculinity, and in an interview he didn't owe anyone, told the world that he privately loathed it because it's not who he was. Saying that was brave.
Not only was he adamant about his story being just that, he took a minute to acknowledge the very marginalized groups often ignored — namely Black trans women. Bruce's interview was about Bruce, but he decided to use that space to speak out for those who don't command such level of celebrity.
Jenner elected to publicly discuss a deeply personal issue that has followed him throughout his life at a time when the issues of the trans community are only now being brought to the forefront – mostly thanks to the work of actress Laverne Cox, writer and television host Janet Mock, and collegiate athlete turned activist Kye Allums. Jenner's interview with Sawyer now takes those efforts one-step further.
A celebrated Olympian and actor turned patriarch in a hugely popular reality TV show phenomenon, Jenner is in a unique position in that his generational appeal is varied, thus making his decision to reveal that he is a transgender woman all the more powerful. He didn't owe us any of that, and while there is work to be done, let's not taint this contribution.
Now, after that interview, we can take a story like Bruce's and use it to bring greater attention to other groups. We can also hope the interview will challenge other trite views related to the trans community. Last week, Dr. Phil made a joke on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, noting, "You're almost 80, what's the point? This is a theoretical exercise, right? I don't know. He's kind of past prime for like… right?" It's something Sawyer herself wondered, and frankly, I need everyone to quit thinking Jenner cannot still slay the scene in decade six. Do you folks not remember The Golden Girls or Eartha Kitt as Lady Eloise in Boomerang? Meanwhile, half of the trans population in the U.S. is over 50. Again, Jenner matters.
Then there is Wendy Williams, who during a segment on her talk show last week, challenged the timing of Jenner's transition and conflating it with his teenage daughter Kylie Jenner dating 25-year-old rapper Tyga. In terms of parenting, Jenner's second wife, Linda Thompson, has far more intel on that than Williams does. Still, even in her criticism of him as an absentee dad, she wrote about him on The Huffington Post fondly and was thoughtful in her acknowledgment of the inner strife Jenner carried for much of his life.
Jenner will likely face more scrutiny, but for all of the other people talking, it'll be Bruce Jenner's voice that resonates most — and whatever he chooses to say will help others learn something. I'm not sure the same can be said of his critics.

Entrepreneur Social Responsibility and Lemonade Day
Bob Phibbs, Greene County, NY Champion
This is a guest post from Lemonade Day Greene County City Champion, Bob Phibbs in New York State.
Entrepreneur Social Responsibility and Lemonade Day – Why You Should Give A Damn
One of the tasks Donald Trump had participants perform on the first season of The Apprentice was opening a lemonade stand. As that task showed, it's not as easy as it looks if you're accounting for costs and trying to make money.
Lemonade Day, started by Michael Holthouse in Houston four years ago, shows youth K-12 how to become entrepreneurs.
When hundreds of thousands of kids in over thirty cities register and pickup one of the bright yellow backpacks this month, they will embark on one of the oldest methods entrepreneurs were exposed to early in life – opening their own lemonade stand.
Through a series of 14 lessons that include setting a goal, budgeting, cost analysis, site selection, advertising, building a stand, opening a bank account, and giving back to charity, they learn over forty skills to prepare them for real life.
We want to reward individual initiative, goals, and dreams – not reward kids just because they show up. Kids have to overcome their fears and follow a path they may never have taken, but when they do they discover the rewards are great.
Students aren't given anything but the workbook; they have to do the work to earn the money for themselves just like in real life…
But it's not just about making money, it's giving back…
Last year, kids sold $6.8 million in lemonade and gave back $2 million dollars to charities of their choice.
But that's not why you need to know about and support this…
Lemonade Day helps parents see and nurture the entrepreneurial skills their kids will be called on to navigate an increasingly complex world as adults.
And that's great but it's not why you should get a damn.
American Business. Small businesses, big businesses, non-profit businesses, you name it, have been devolving lately.
Where once they were the ones creating a world of abundance for employees, for communities, and indeed for America itself, many have become increasingly focused on, "What can be given to me?"
That gimme attitude has created a true "lack" mentality in our culture and most importantly trickled down to our youth.
Lemonade Day became important to me while I was chatting with a contractor's assistant working on my house. He shared that he hoped his son could grow up and get a job at the local prison because "that's the best job he could get." No one ever tripped the entrepreneur switch for him, so he figures the same fate probably waits for his kid.
In a world where "safe" jobs are disappearing, it will be up to the individual to make a living for themselves. If we don't turn on that entrepreneur spirit in kids, we are looking at generations of people who won't be able to start anything.
And that's why you should give a damn about Lemonade Day on Sunday, May 1, 2011. Check out www.lemonadeday.org to find out about joining or supporting a city's Lemonade Day.
I live in Greene County, a rural area two hours north of Manhattan where developing entrepreneurial spirit will make a huge difference to the future of its citizens. That's why I'm championing this program with a goal to open 500 stands on Sunday, May 1.
An entrepreneurial mindset to social responsibility means teaching kids they have to be able to think on their feet and be welcoming to others. If they spend their Lemonade Day looking at their feet because they are shy, they'll find out no one will buy from shy, quiet kids. Lemonade Day provides ways for them to overcome that before it becomes a life pattern.
This isn't a project for a troop, class or club. Entrepreneurs are individuals. It's not trophy day.
If we as business owners could change the mindset of kids early, they'll learn they can be rewarded for their minds, their creativity, indeed their entrepreneurism.
There are so many kids out there planning to do nothing when they graduate. If this sparks them to go out and open more businesses, we'll have succeeded.
If we miss the chance to show youth that making money is a good thing, not something to be vilified like in the movies and on TV, then we as a society have truly failed.
And those are some of the reasons you as an entrepreneur should give a damn about Lemonade Day.

L'Esercito del Sacro Romano Impero (in tedesco: Reichsarmee, Reichsheer o Reichsarmatur; in latino: Exercitus Imperii) fu l'esercito del Sacro Romano Impero. Creato nel 1422, venne destituito nel 1806 col crollo dell'Impero a seguito delle Guerre napoleoniche.

Malgrado l'apparenza, l'esercito imperiale non era un esercito permanente sempre al servizio dell'Imperatore, ma veniva costituito dai suoi vari elementi solo in caso di pericolo. La natura di questa particolarità era data dal fatto che l'esercito imperiale era difatti formato da piccoli eserciti dei signori affiliati col Sacro Romano Impero per alleanza.

Non è da confondere con l'esercito dell'imperatore che era quello personalmente pagato dal sovrano e levato nei territori esterni al Sacro Romano Impero.

Storia
Dopo le rivolte degli hussiti, la Dieta imperiale del 1422 tenutasi a Norimberga creò l'Esercito imperiale del Sacro Romano Impero specificando che i contingenti delle truppe dovessero provenire dalle varie parti dell'Impero. Le guerre contro gli hussiti continuarono dal 1420 al 1434, anno nel quale ormai l'esercito imperiale aveva dato prova del proprio valore sul campo. Nel secolo successivo la grandezza dell'esercito venne controllata maggiormente soprattutto per regolare la spesa del mantenimento di un esercito. Alla Dieta di Worms del 1521 venne realizzata una commissione che stabilì la necessità di 20.063 fanti e 4.202 cavalieri (successivamente il dato venne semplificato in 20.000 e 4.000) e il costo mensile per il mantenimento dell'armata era conosciuto col nome di Romermonat ed era pari a 51.269 fiorini.

Il Registro Imperiale (Reichsmatrikel o Heeresmatrikel) determinava i contributi da concedere ai singoli stati per il loro sforzo bellico e venne inaugurato nel 1422. Quando all'inizio del XVI secolo vennero istituiti i primi sei circoli imperiali dalla Dieta di Augusta, essi avevano il compito di fornire uomini e armi all'esercito imperiale, come pure proporzionalmente anche i principi elettori e infine anche i territori ereditari degli Asburgo che pure erano parti del Sacro Romano Impero. Questo almeno era l'aspetto teorico della faccenda, anche perché a livello pratico purtroppo non tutti i circoli fornivano regolarmente uomini in arme come avrebbero dovuto.

L'esercito imperiale giocò un ruolo fondamentale nella Guerra dei Trent'anni dal 1618 al 1648.

La Costituzione dell'Esercito Imperiale (Reichsdefensionalordnung) del 1681 determinò infine la composizione dell'esercito, fissando che i contingenti dovessero essere forniti dai vari "Circoli Imperiali" dell'Impero. La potenza totale dell'esercito (chiamata in latino Simplum) venne fissata ora a 40.000 uomini totali, di cui 28.000 fanti e 12.000 cavalieri con 2.000 dragoni. In casi di emergenza la grandezza dell'esercito poteva essere portata al doppio o al triplo della sua forza.

L'esercito era suddiviso in reggimenti che molto spesso non venivano pagati dall'Imperatore, ma da uomini di sua fiducia che finanziavano difatti l'esercito.

L'organizzazione dell'esercito

Conflitti d'interesse tra imperatore e principi
Data la natura federale dell'esercito imperiale, capitava che nell'ambito di conflitti particolarmente impegnativi non tutti i principi fornissero come da accordi un numero corrispondente di truppe. Ovviamente ogni provincia era tenuta a fornire un numero diverso di truppe a seconda della popolazione interna. Per questa particolarità tutte le aree dell'impero godevano del cosiddetto jus armoru ovvero del diritto di poter sollevare un esercito in caso di necessità e di porlo come da contratto al servizio dell'Imperatore (anche se in molti casi i singoli stati potevano appoggiare anche dei nemici dell'Impero, magari nella speranza di slegarsi da esso). I principi erano dunque il tassello più potente dell'esercito imperiale e da loro dipendeva anche la sopravvivenza stessa dell'istituzione e l'integrità dei suoi confini in quanto se una sola falla si fosse creata nel mantenimento dell'Impero, esso sarebbe stato in pericolo. Per questo motivo, i principi non sempre cedevano alle richieste dell'imperatore con facilità e talvolta si contentavano di versare un tributo all'Imperatore di modo che poi egli procedesse all'assoldaggio di mercenari.

Di tutte le province solo quelle direttamente confinanti con la Francia (ovvero la provincia del Basso Reno-Westfalia, quella del Reno e la Franconia) avevano organizzato in maniera permanente il sostentamento di un esercito, per ragioni politiche e di frequenti scontri con la vicina e potente nazione francese.

All'inizio della guerra di successione spagnola, la dieta imperiale riunitasi a Ratisbona nel 1702 tentò di creare in tutto l'impero un esercito permanente, ma le forti spese e la resistenza dei principi locali fece sì che tale accordo non venisse mai concluso.

Alto comando
L'alto comando militare dell'esercito imperiale era nominalmente guidato dallo stesso imperatore, ma de facto era retto da un feldmaresciallo che fungeva da suo vice e diretto referente. Questa figura di alto profilo, in teoria doveva essere nominata congiuntamente dall'imperatore e dal Reichstag, ma accadeva spesso che venisse nominato dal solo imperatore sulla base delle proprie preferenze. A partire dalle disposizioni di Augusta del 1555, veniva solitamente nominato un feldmaresciallo cattolico e uno protestante.

Composizione dell'esercito

Gradualmente, nel corso della sua storia, e con l'aumento del numero di guerre nelle quali il Sacro Romano Impero venne coinvolto, l'esercito imperiale variò nella propria composizione e nel numero di uomini impiegati.

Tra la metà del XVII secolo e l'inizio del XVIII secolo, questi furono i numeri impiegati:

 Guerra austro-turca, 1662-1664: 82.700
 Guerra franco-olandese, 1672-1679: 132.350
 Guerra austro-turca, 1683-1689: 88.100
 Guerra dei Nove anni, 1688-1697: 127.410
 Guerra di successione spagnola, 1701-1714: 260.090

La fine
L'esercito imperiale del Sacro Romano Impero terminò le proprie funzioni nel 1806, come risultato delle guerre rivoluzionarie francesi prima e di quelle napoleoniche poi. Nel 1804 le forze imperiali vennero di fatto ridotte ai soli territori austriaci e da quell'anno di fatto l'esercito assunse il titolo di Esercito Imperiale e Reale (Kaiserlich-königliche Armee), combattendo nelle battaglie di Ulma e Austerlitz nel 1805 e venendo poi sconfitto. Nel 1806 l'esercito francese organizzò gran parte dell'ex impero nella Confederazione del Reno, un gruppo di stati clienti dell'Impero francese, con un unico e comune esercito federale.

Getting a new puppy is truly a wonderful moment for you and everyone in your family. After all, a dog is a man's best friend. So, it's only natural that you make sure that your young pup is safe and happy in your home as well, right? In order to do that, you should take the time and effort to prepare your home. You may think that pups don't need much since they're small, but precisely because of that, you have to create a comfy, secure and warm space that everyone will love and enjoy.
This is definitely the first step that you need to do. Pups are curious and playful by nature, and if you're not careful about how your home is organized, they can get into some dangerous trouble. With that in mind, make sure that you hide away any cables and accessories that your pup can chew on or knock over. Moreover, numerous chemicals and even plants that are not dangerous for humans can be very toxic for a dog, especially a small one. Therefore, you need to remove any cleaning agents and plant pots that may cause your pet's health problems.
It's very important that you prepare a specific area in your home where your puppy will spend time at first. In general, when left to explore the entire home, the puppy can get overly confused and even scared because of different sounds and smells. Therefore, it's better to keep them in a kitchen, laundry room or some other space that has just enough room for them. Of course, following the previous advice, you should make sure that this space is pet-proofed. Also, you have to consider the fact that your puppy has a way to go until it learns not to soil random areas in your home. This is why you need to restrict the pet's area of movement for a while, until they're not ready to explore the home to the fullest.
Puppies may be energetic but they also need their sleep. Therefore, it's essential that you prepare their crate and bedding as well. You may find the crate unnecessary at first. However, it's better for a puppy to get used to lying and sitting in a crate when young. Don't force them to get into the crate but leave the door opened and put comfy bedding inside so that your pup can go in there whenever it wants. Of course, you should purchase a proper bed and other comfy accessories that come with it. Just like with the crate, you should be very careful about choosing the right bed size, as well.
Obviously, there's a lot more to prepping your home for pup's arrival aside from choosing their space and getting them a bed. You have to make sure that your pup has everything it needs to be healthy, happy and comfortable. Therefore, don't forget to buy and store the food recommended for the pup's breed. Also, it will need at least two bowls – one for food and one for water. Toys for small dogs are also very helpful for young canines. Obviously, there are some other things that you should think about. For example, you may want to get an easy-maintenance rug for your home and prepare for the time when your dog will go in and out of your home. Also, don't forget about dog shampoos and other grooming essentials. You may even want to consider getting a special pet bath tub or organizing your own bathroom in a different manner.
Before your pup settles in your home, a smart move would be to look for a vet that you trust and love. This will make things a lot easier for you and your dog when the need for medical help arise.

Healthcare was reformed in 1948 after the Second World War, broadly along the lines of the 1942 Beveridge Report, with the creation of the National Health Service or NHS. It was originally established as part of a wider reform of social services and funded by a system of National Insurance, though receipt of healthcare was never contingent upon making contributions towards the National Insurance Fund. Private health care was not abolished but had to compete with the NHS. About 15% of all spending on health in the UK is still privately funded but this includes the patient contributions towards NHS provided prescription drugs, so private sector healthcare in the UK is quite small. As part of a wider reform of social provision it was originally thought that the focus would be as much about the prevention of ill-health as it was about curing disease. The NHS for example would distribute baby formula milk fortified with vitamins and minerals in an effort to improve the health of children born in the post war years as well as other supplements such as cod liver oil and malt. Many of the common childhood diseases such as measles, mumps, and chicken pox were mostly eradicated with a national program of vaccinations.
The NHS has been through many reforms since 1974. The Conservative Thatcher administrations attempted to bring competition into the NHS by developing a supplier/buyer role between hospitals as suppliers and health authorities as buyers. This necessitated the detailed costing of activities, something which the NHS had never had to do in such detail, and some felt was unnecessary. The Labour Party generally opposed these changes, although after the party became New Labour, the Blair government retained elements of competition and even extended it, allowing private teamcare.solve.care care providers to bid for NHS work. Some treatment and diagnostic centres are now run by private enterprise and funded under contract. However, the extent of this privatisation of NHS work is still small, though remains controversial. The administration committed more money to the NHS raising it to almost the same level of funding as the European average and as a result, there was large expansion and modernisation programme and waiting times improved.

Lawsuit alleges Dearborn mayor directed officials to harass developer
Dearborn Mayor says claims by Dearborn developer are inaccurate
Niraj Warikoo
A man who was one of Dearborn's most prominent developers is accusing the city of conspiring to harass and drive him out of business, a claim the mayor dismissed as inaccurate.
In a federal lawsuit filed this week, developer Hakim Fakhoury alleges that Dearborn Mayor Jack O'Reilly Jr. directed police and legal department officials to target Fakhoury, who used to own several major commercial properties in west Dearborn's business district. Fakhoury, who had plans to redevelop west Dearborn into a destination spot, said he got rid of most of his west Dearborn properties in 2014, losing millions of dollars in assets because of government pressure.
The lawsuit, filed Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Detroit by attorney Shereef Akeel on behalf of Fakhoury and three of his family members, claims that Fakhoury family members were arrested and charged several times by police on charges such as trespassing but were acquitted in all cases. The goal of the city, the lawsuit alleges, was to push Fakhoury out in favor of another developer, Mike Hamame, a former business partner of the Fakhourys.
►Related:Businesses to invest $19.7M, hire 153 with state's help
Dearborn officials and Hamame told the Free Press they haven't seen the lawsuit yet, but said Fakhoury's accusations weren't true and questioned his business ethics.
The lawsuit names O'Reilly, Dearborn Police Sgt. Andreas Barnette, and a city prosecuting attorney, William Debiasi, as defendants.
"It's tragic what happened to the Fakhoury family," said Akeel. "No family should be subjected to such treatment. It's been a total nightmare. ... Maybe it happens in Third World countries, but not in the United States. Thankfully, we have the Constitution to hold people accountable.
"This man built so much of the west district of Dearborn. The police were after him, the prosecutors were after him. He was subjected to so many criminal proceedings. It's frightening to know this can happen in this day and age."
The lawsuit reveals tensions in Dearborn over the development of an area that officials and some residents have thought could be the next hot spot in metro Detroit. They hope to pattern it after downtown Royal Oak or Birmingham, a place for people to hang out in a walkable space with restaurants, condos and shops. But over the years, properties along or near Michigan Avenue remained vacant, and the city, at times, blamed Fakhoury.
The lawsuit claims the constitutional rights of the Fakhoury family were violated, specifically the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause and the 4th Amendment's prohibition of unreasonable searches and seizures.
The lawsuit alleges that Fakhoury's wife, April Fakhoury, was threatened in person by Hamame in Dearborn in March 2013 with the remark "I have a bullet with your name on it."
She said she then filed a police complaint, but her complaint did not lead to charges and instead, the city brought charges against April Fakhoury for filing a false police report. She later was acquitted, and Hamame was never charged.
In a Dearborn police report contained in the lawsuit, "Hamame adamantly denied any encounter with Fakhoury" on the day of the alleged threat.
The lawsuit also contains a copy of a Dearborn Police bulletin in April 2013 that warns about the Fakhourys, asking police to be on the lookout for any potential problems.
The lawsuit alleges that other family members, including Fakhoury's children, were targeted by police for arrests on charges such as trespassing on properties they owned.
Speaking to the Free Press, O'Reilly criticized Fakhoury, saying he acts like "he's a victim all the time. Everyone has victimized him — that's how he sees things."
O'Reilly said he hasn't seen the lawsuit, but said of Fakhoury's complaints: "None of it will be accurate and true."
"All of the facts will come out. ... I have no concerns," O'Reilly said. "I saved all his e-mails."
The e-mails that Fakhoury wrote were "reckless and ridiculous, and mine were thoughtful."
Dearborn Police Chief Ron Haddad told the Free Press he supports the police officer named in the lawsuit: "I stand behind Sgt. Barnette's investigations. We'll wait to see the lawsuit before I make any further comments."
Debra Walling, city attorney, did not comment.
Hamame, who now is in control of property that Fakhoury used to control, told the Free Press: "It's comical to me to think that the city could take away property from Hakim Fakhoury and give it to me. Hakim Fakhoury has no one to blame but himself. It's a result of his unscrupulous behavior and his ethics. ... His business practices led him to the position he's in today."
The lawsuit claims that "the mayor met with Mike Hamame and other Hamame family member(s) in private meetings with the goal of divesting the Fakhoury family of its properties."
One of those meetings, the lawsuit claims, "took place at a lunch meeting at Habib's Restaurant on or about Feb. 15, 2013, which included" O'Reilly, his chief of staff, Mark Guido, city attorney Walling and Hamame family members.
"O'Reilly advised Mike Hamame and the Hamame family member(s) that if Mike Hamame and his family wants to do business in the city, they needed to dissolve their business partnership alliance with the Fakhoury family," the lawsuit claims.
The Fakhourys say they asked the city for years to end paid parking in west Dearborn to attract more business, but the city refused, they said, until the Fakhourys left.
The lawsuit alleges that in June 2014, when the Fakhoury family ended their dispute with the Hamame family, Hamame telephoned O'Reilly to tell him that a deal had been reached and asked about "the removal of the paid parking meters" in west Dearborn.
Four months later, the City Council moved to phase out paid parking, the lawsuit said.
"There was a total annihilation (of me and my development)", Fakhoury told the Free Press.
The case has been assigned to U.S. District Judge Gershwin Drain.

Extractions: Social Studies The great architects of American public education, such as Thomas Jefferson, Horace Mann, and John Dewey, considered a strong literacy essential to the preservation of democracy. Each believed that every student must be well versed in the nation's history, the principles which undergird citizenship, and the institutions which define our government. Understandings of commerce and geography were critical to their thinking as well. In essence, Jefferson, Mann, and Dewey viewed the study of social studies as critical to the mission of public schools. Indeed, they would applaud the inclusion of a "responsible and involved citizen" in the Guiding Principles, as well as social studies as one of eight content areas in the Learning Results A strong social studies education depends upon a clear understanding of its interrelated disciplines. Without a knowledge of the geography and economics of earlier times, history offers only lists of people, events, and dates. Without a knowledge of history, the institutions of American government and the dynamics of today's global economy are difficult to understand. Important contemporary issues such as health care, education, crime, the environment, and foreign policy are all multidisciplinary in nature. Understanding these issues and developing responses to them requires an integrated social studies education. In such a social studies program, students are actively engaged in inquiry, research, debate, and in-depth learning. Students can further enhance their knowledge of the world around them by using local communities as extended classrooms; they can learn to build on that knowledge and on their knowledge of history to construct insights into the future. A broad understanding of the perspectives central to social studies enables students to develop, practice, and apply the knowledge and experiences required to be contributing participants in a democratic society.

It is the largest research library in Maine, with collections and services supporting the faculty, students, and staff of the University as well as residents of the State of Maine. It houses a large collection of primary and secondary sources on Franco America. This bibliography lists key titles held by Fogler. It is by no means complete but is provided only as a helpful beginning guide. Further research can be done through URSUS, Fogler Library's on-line catalogue. URSUS relies upon the Library of Congress Subject Headings, which unfortunately does not provide one search term that encompasses all of Franco America. When searching URSUS, be sure to think creatively! Here are some suggestions: Franco America(ns), Acadia(ns), Cajun, French Canadians, French American, Quebec emigration, or towns with large Franco American populations (e.g. Lowell, Lewiston, Worcester). The Special Collections Department in Fogler Library also has many primary documents. It is a repository for Maine related material. Virtually all available printed bibliographical, historical, and descriptive works on the state as well as literary titles by Maine authors are housed in this department. Books, pamphlets, state documents, and other forms of printed material provide extensive coverage of Maine's cities, towns, counties, and her people and institutions.

Extractions: News and Events NSF Grant Awarded to Dr. Jane Smith When North American French scholar Jane Smith joined the University of Maine faculty in 1994, she was surprised to find that Maine's Franco-Americans had no corpus of their language - no body of recordings preserving the spoken word - other than a few taped interviewed in the Maine Folklife Center archives. That will change this fall when the first sociolinguistic study of Franco-American French begins in the state, led by Smith, a UMaine assistant professor of French, and Cynthia Fox, associate professor of French Studies at the University at Albany. The three-year collaborative study is funded by a $301,130 grant from the National Science Foundation. Franco-Americans in New England and New York State represent the second largest concentration of French speakers in the United States, Smith and Fox noted in their grant proposal. Yet they remain the only significant group of North American French speakers whose language has not been the subject of systematic, representative sampling and research. In the sociolinguistic study, the researchers will be looking at "who uses the language - and how." In particular, they will investigate its linguistic structure and "the human dynamics behind the language" in an effort to understand what social or economic factors influence language maintenance or shift.

Car hits tree, two passengers seriously injured
By: danachicklas
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Police Department is investigating a car crash that left one passenger in serious condition, and another with life-threatening injuries, after hitting a tree.
Officers said one car was involved and struck a tree on the 2300 block of Butterworth Street SW around 5:40 p.m. Saturday. Four men were inside the car at the time of the crash, when officers said the driver was speeding and crossed the center line, then went off the south side of the road and hit a tree.
One passenger was thrown from the car and has serious injuries, and another passenger has life-threatening injuries, officials said.
The driver is a 28-year-old man who was arrested for reckless driving causing serious injury.
The Grand Rapids Police Department's Special Services Unit has investigators on site of the crash and are conducting an ongoing investigation.
If anyone has additional information you are asked to call GRPD at 616-456-3400 or Silent Observer at 616-774-2345.

Q: number (123.00 or 123.2345) converts into string as (12300 or 1232345) using JavaScript In Java script, I am using the below method to convert from number to string. In my case, number will be as float number or whole number  (123.00 or 123.3456 or 567).
toString() -> it converts into whole number then converts into string.
For Example:
 var totalAmount = 100.000;
   var str = totalAmount.toString();

output is 100
expected output is 100000

  var totalAmount1 = 123.456;
          var str1 = totalAmount.toString();

output is 123456
expected output is 123456 // Works as expected

I tried String() method also.
Any one help me how to get the expected result of 1st example such as "10000".

Puerto Varas, Chile is a charming city on the shores of Lake Llanquihue and is one of most popular tourist destinations in the country. Spectacular views across the lake at majestic snow-capped volcanoes surrounded in native forest abound as well as countless options for exploring the surrounding countryside with picture-perfect German-settled farms. Only 15 minutes from Puerto Montt, Puerto Varas is popular because it is quieter than the busy port city to the south. It has fantastic adventure opportunities nearby including: several national parks, Class II to IV white water rafting, horseback day trips and multi-day horse treks, volcano ascents, countless fly fishing rivers, sea kayaking, boat trips to Argentina.


Have Insiders Been Buying International Petroleum Corporation (TSE:IPCO) Shares?
It is not uncommon to see companies perform well in the years after insiders buy shares. Unfortunately, there are also plenty of examples of share prices declining precipitously after insiders have sold shares. So before you buy or sell International Petroleum Corporation ( TSE:IPCO ), you may well want to know whether insiders have been buying or selling.
Most investors know that it is quite permissible for company leaders, such as directors of the board, to buy and sell stock on the market. However, such insiders must disclose their trading activities, and not trade on inside information.
We don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions. But logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares. For example, a Columbia University study found that 'insiders are more likely to engage in open market purchases of their own company's stock when the firm is about to reveal new agreements with customers and suppliers'.
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Lead Director Charles Ashley Heppenstall bought CA$4.1m worth of shares at a price of CA$8.85 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. It's not at all bad to see insiders buy shares at or above current prices. Notably Charles Ashley Heppenstall was also the biggest seller, having sold CA$4.1m worth of shares.
Happily, we note that in the last year insiders paid CA$6.4m for 735.86k shares. But insiders sold 463.76k shares worth CA$4.1m. In total, International Petroleum insiders bought more than they sold over the last year. They paid about CA$8.67 on average. This is nice to see since it implies that insiders might see value around current prices (around CA$6.18). You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by individuals) over the last 12 months, below. By clicking on the graph below, you can see the precise details of each insider transaction!
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. It appears that International Petroleum insiders own 6.1% of the company, worth about CA$62m. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
So What Does This Data Suggest About International Petroleum Insiders?
There haven't been any insider transactions in the last three months — that doesn't mean much. But insiders have shown more of an appetite for the stock, over the last year. Insiders own shares in International Petroleum and we see no evidence to suggest they are worried about the future. If you are like me, you may want to think about whether this company will grow or shrink. Luckily, you can check this free report showing analyst forecasts for its future .
But note: International Petroleum may not be the best stock to buy . So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with high ROE and low debt.

There are two ways a lender can register a mortgage loan: they can use a mortgage charge or a collateral charge. With a mortgage charge, the lender will register your home with the land title or registry office in your municipality, and the mortgage can then be registered, transferred or discharged from your lender.
A collateral charge, on the other hand, can only be registered or discharged (not transferred) from your lender. Keep reading to find out why and how this affects your mortgage.
How is a Collateral Mortgage Calculated?
After your offer on a home has been accepted, and it passes the home inspection, you'll sit down with a mortgage broker or lender to get your mortgage financing ready. If you choose to get a collateral mortgage, the lender may be able to register your mortgage for up to 125% of the value of your new home.
For example: Let's say you purchase a home valued at $300,000. After you make a $60,000 down payment (20%), you would require a $240,000 mortgage loan. Let's determine the maximum amount the lender may be able to register under a collateral mortgage.
One thing to keep in mind is that, no matter how much the value of your property goes up to, the most equity you can ever access is the same amount your collateral mortgage was originally registered for. In the example above, the collateral mortgage was registered for $375,000. To access the full $375,000, the value of your home would have to go up to $468,750 ($468,750 x 80% = $375,000) and you would have to owe nothing on your mortgage ($375,000 - $0 = $375,000).
Either way, no matter how much your mortgage is registered for, a collateral mortgage is a readvanceable mortgage product that lets you borrow equity from your home at anytime without having to refinance your mortgage.
Which Lenders Offer Collateral Mortgages?
Most lenders offer collateral mortgages, but there are two banks in Canada that only offer collateral mortgages: TD Bank (as of October 18, 2010) and ING DIRECT (as of December 10, 2011). When you're discussing your mortgage options, make sure to ask your mortgage broker if the product you're considering is a collateral mortgage or not.


LogiCoy has implemented OTM with PMS [Pallet Management System] using OpenESB which is currently running in production.
When Orders (Child Pre-DO) are created in OTM, before they actually go in execution (i.e. before planning into shipment in OTM), PMS check will be initiated. OTM system will call the service exposed by OpenESB application and send the required message for PMS status check. OpenESB application will receive the request from OTM and call PMS service to check PMS status (either Block or Open) based on the SoldTo code and Quantity information received from OTM. Based on the response received from PMS system, OpenESB application will send status update information back to OTM via standard integration API provided by OTM service as a TransmissionACK [OTM response acknowledgement].
PMS will send the request to OpenESB POJO service to get Pre-DO information from OTM.OpenESB application will receive the request from PMS and call OTM services.OpenESB will create Pre-DO SQL query and send it to OTM for information retrieval. On successful execution of SQL queries,OTM will provide the required information to OpenESB exposed web service which will read the OTM response and send the appropriate output to PMS system.
PMS will send the request to OpenESB to change the status in OTM.Then,OpenESB will create GLog structure message and sent to OTM for status update.
Once the information is received OTM will send acknowledgement.OpenESB will read the OTM response and check for final processing status based on response.
Based on this final status, OpenESB will send response back to PMS.


Twelfth Night, or What You Will by William Shakespeare is a defined as a "problem" play. It falls between comedy and tragedy, as some characters get their happy endings, while others do not. The plot focuses on twins Viola and Sebastian who were separated in a shipwreck. Viola disguises herself as a man and falls in love with the Duke she serves, who in turn is in love with the Countess Olivia. Upon meeting the disguised Viola, Countess Olivia falls in love with her thinking she is a man. This messy love triangle is put on by Midsommer Flight this season in the Lincoln Park Conservatory in partnership with Chicago Parks District.
Upon entering the conservatory, lights guide your path as you wander your way to the Show House room filled with beautiful decorations. Christmas trees, giant glass snowflakes and fairy lights are strewn about the space making it a magical wonderland. Serenades of acoustic christmas carols are sung by part of the cast accompanied with guitars, flute, violin and drum boxes. The musical interludes throughout the piece are beautifully done in the acoustically reverberated atrium. Elizabeth Rentfro has an exquisite voice that brought power to her portrayal of the Fool named Feste. Directed by Dylan S. Roberts, the alley or traverse stage allows for an intimate experience between actors and audience members. The blocking of scenes was enjoyable and pacing was well executed. Great physical comedy was incorporated with just enough over exaggeration in body movement and facial expression to allow audiences unfamiliar with Old English to follow the plot. Another admirable trait was the verbal stresses of language while delivering lines. LaKecia Harris, plays Viola, excels in these peaks and valleys of tone, which allows further holistic acting. The secondary comedic plot line regards Malvolio, an uptight servant to the Countess Olivia, tremendously played by Amy Malcom. The casting choices are non-restrictive and I thought was a progressive choice in semantics to focus more on plot than definitive gender pronouns. While Shakespeare is no stranger to the challenging of sexes, it is a nice additive element to the gender swapping storyline.
The sound design was simple and harkened to foley work mimicking thunder and other various audio. The simplified audio allows the focus to lay on the acting that blossomed into this lovely staged production. Shawn Quinlan's costuming included a muted color palette, but the velvets and patterns gave elegance and sophistication in places where it was needed. A nice balance of fabric and pattern. A particular ingenious detail was the utilization of Countess Olivia and her maid's lace veils and the extra lace used as Malvolio's blindfold when imprisoned for madness after being cruelly tricked into thinking Countess Olivia desired them. Fabric is a means to disguise, but the use of the lace seems to hint at a metaphor for being blinded by love, as well as being blinded by aesthetic beauty. The Countess wears a black veil upon first meeting Viola dressed in man's clothing and Malvolio is tricked by the fool Feste whilst being blindfolded with the lace.
