When you're starting up a new business, the last thing on your mind is probably business legal advice.
However, legal advice for business entrepreneurs is vitally important (along with all those other business planning considerations!) so take time out with a nice hot coffee and read our business legal advice for home business owners.
Running a business from home can offer flexibility, low costs and a great lifestyle, but it's important not to overlook the legal implications of using your home as a business premises.
Let's look at some of the main business legal advice for home business owners that you should consider.
Using your home as a business? Why not we say, but wait there's a whole range of organisations that may throw a spanner if the works if they object to you running a home business. This includes your mortgage lender, the freeholder of the property, a landlord, the local authority and the Residents' Association.
If you have a mortgage, you'll probably need to renegotiate the terms of this as home business customers are normally considered to be higher risk.
Using your home as a business could invalidate your home and contents insurance. Aside from the obvious risks of not being insured, remember that if you have a mortgage, you are probably obliged to maintain home insurance.
You'll also need to consider Employer's Liability Insurance (if you have any staff, even on a casual basis) and Public Liability Insurance. Of course, there is nothing specific about these kinds of insurance to home business but they can be overlooked by business people operating outside the typical workplace environment.
Many insurance providers offer comprehensive home business insurance packages including all these types of cover.
Next consideration is looking at tax advice for your home business because running a business from home can offer big tax advantages if you are self-employed. A portion of the expenses of running your home (council tax, utilities, telecoms, rent, mortgage payments and so on) are tax-deductible.
You might become liable for business rates rather than council tax in respect of the parts of your home you use for work. The Valuation Office Agency and local council will assess this, taking into account factors including the frequency and duration that you use the rooms for work and if you have made any modifications for business purposes.
You might also lose part of your entitlement to capital gains tax relief on the sale of your home if part of the property is used exclusively for your business.
Most of us home business entrepreneurs wouldn't even think they need to think about health and safety advice for running a home business.
Making your home into a workplace brings a lot of compliance requirements and red tape. Notably, you'll need to abide by health and safety in the workplace regulations. You'll have to carry out a risk assessment of your home to identify any hazards (eg. fire risks, handling loads, slips, trips and falls) and make clients, staff, household members and visitors aware of the risks.
The legal side of running a business can be quite complex. The cost of assistance from a solicitor and qualified financial adviser is almost always worth it in the long run. By considering the legal issues thoroughly you should be able to take full advantage of the financial and personal benefits of working from home.
Business legal advice covers a whole raft of legal jargon, from basic legal advice for business entrepreneurs, home business owners to council tax advice for home businesses and home business tax deductable expenses.

Barca closed the gap on Real Madrid to eight points, while Arjen Robben's hat-trick boosted Bayern.
Real drop two points; Juve storm to victory; Dortmund still on top

Juventus ran riot at Fiorentina to keep the pressure on Serie A leaders AC Milan, while in France Eden Hazard starred as Lille demolished Valenciennes.

Barcelona closed the gap on leaders Real Madrid after Jose Mourinho's side dropped two points in a 1-1 draw at home to Malaga, with Santi Cazorla's stoppage-time strike handing the visitors a share of the spoils. Pep Guardiola's men had shaved Real's lead the previous day after securing a 2-0 victory at Sevilla thanks to goals from Xavi and in-form forward Lionel Messi, who took his Primera Liga tally this season to 31. Valencia strengthened their position in third place with a convincing 3-0 win at Athletic Bilbao, while Levante also remain on course for a UEFA Champions League spot after seeing off Villarreal 1-0.

CEO's Monthly Update
Alan Clayton
The phrase "Social License" has been much discussed lately following the NSW Government decision to close greyhound racing in that State. For GRV, it means one thing – if it's not good for the dogs, it's not on for the code. Our industry will, and must always, put the welfare of the dogs first, in accord with the expectation of the community. Greyhound racing in Australia has a long and rich heritage, both as a sport and as an important part of many local and regional communities. However, community expectations have changed over the past century and the code must change too if it wants a sustainable future.
The GRV Board and myself were appointed with a clear brief to drive the real and lasting change that will secure this future. The reports by the Racing Integrity Commissioner and the Chief Veterinarian Officer are our roadmap and new State laws and racing rules focused on animal welfare and integrity also frame GRV's strategic priorities for reform.
GRV has been comprehensively restructured to make it fit-for-purpose in delivering on these priorities. Policy decisions are now evidence-based and data-driven and there is a clear separation now between the animal welfare, integrity and racing functions, which are more appropriately staffed and funded. We have tripled the funding for our swabbing program to test for prohibited substances and will further increase it in 2016-17. GRV's team of Authorised Welfare Officers has quadrupled and their powers strengthened, a new Investigations Unit has been established and a further increase in investigators is being implemented. The Investigations Unit is staffed by highly experienced former Victoria Police investigators and analysts and is taking a new approach to ensuring the sport's integrity, identifying and monitoring issues through a comprehensive risk framework that drives preventive measures and triggers proactive investigations. The Unit also runs an online and phone service at www.grv.org.au, www.fasttrack.grv.org.au and (03) 8329 1196 where people can confidentially report suspicious and unlawful activities and this is generating many valuable leads.
However the absolute key priority for the sport in earning its social license in the 21st century is to ensure that every racing greyhound born in Victoria will have the opportunity to live out its life in full, whether it makes it to the track or not, and with euthanasia only as a last resort in cases of catastrophic injury and untreatable illness. This is a very big challenge but one we must meet if the sport is to continue in Victoria.
GRV is taking on this challenge through several fronts. We are working with participants to better manage breeding numbers and help them develop whole of life plans for their greyhounds. We have analysed track injury reports, provided all the clubs and our track veterinarians with data about their track and average track injury rates and asked them to present plans that will reduce injuries and ontrack euthanasia. GRV's $34 million capital expenditure program will fund infrastructure needed to implement these plans. GRV is also investing $3.5 million to expand the GAP program, restructuring its assessment processes to give every dog the best possible chance of admission, stepping up promotion of greyhounds as great pets and companions and providing support for other greyhound re-homing organisations.
GRV's Stakeholder Engagement Workshops have been extremely valuable in analysing and developing solutions to this and other issues as has the Industry Consultation Group. Ultimately though the whole-of-life issue is one that the entire sport must own and all participants have a part to play here. I strongly urge everyone to work with each other and with GRV to secure a strong, well planned and positive future for every Victorian greyhound and so for the code itself. More than 3000 people are employed through the industry with many more relying on the industry for their livelihood. This industry transformation is not instantaneous and it will take place progressively over the next two years or so.
However, I am very heartened by the positive and constructive approach of industry participants and your willingness to engage in and accept changes which place animal welfare first. We love the dogs and we must show how much we do through real and lasting reform.

Let's begin with how the global unemployment picture looked before the IMF's January 2016 WEO Update. Figure 1 provides a measure of the global unemployment rate based on data for 116 countries, of which 37 countries are classified as 'advanced' (i.e. high-income) countries and the remaining 79 as 'emerging market and developing economies.' (We refer to the second group using the acronym 'EMDE'.) Focusing on the recent cycle, global unemployment rate peaked in 6.2 percent in 2009 and has since been returning slowly to its pre-crisis level. Over the coming year, the global unemployment rate is expected to go up slightly.
To understand where this increase is coming from, Figure 2 shows the unemployment rate for the two main groups of countries separately. This reveals that the increase comes from the emerging markets and developing countries (EMDE) group. Moreover, the increase in unemployment among this group occurs because of the expected increase in unemployment among fuelexporting countries (Figure 3).
How will the growth revisions affect the unemployment picture?
Now let's consider how the revisions to the growth forecasts that the IMF announced in the January 2016 WEO Update could change the unemployment picture. At the global level, the forecast for GDP growth in 2016 was revised down by 0.2 percent, which would in turn increase the global unemployment rate only a little bit above the path projected in Figure 1. However, for some countries the revisions in growth forecasts are larger, as shown in Figure 4 below. The biggest change is in Brazil, followed by Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Russia.
Let's begin with how the global unemployment picture looked before the IMF's January 2016 WEO Update.
The steady increase in China's house prices at the national level masks tremendous variation at the city level, conference participants stressed in Shenzhen last month.
House prices in China have been on a long upward march over the past decade prompting questions about what the future holds (see Chart 1). At a conference last month in Shenzhen leading analysts of China's housing markets provided some answers.
Organized by the IMF in cooperation with the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen and Princeton University, the conference—International Symposium on Housing and Financial Stability in China—spotlighted new data sets on China's housing markets, which provide informed views of what might happen next.
The conference was part of a series of conferences organized as part of the Global Housing Watch initiative, which also provides a quarterly update on conditions in housing markets. The latest update, released today, shows how China's house price changes compare with those around the globe.
Participants at the Shenzhen conference stressed that the steady increase in China's house prices (see Chart 1) at the national level masks tremendous variation at the city level. Beijing has "experienced one of the greatest booms ever seen in housing markets," according to real estate expert Joe Gyourko (University of Pennsylvania), but the situation is different elsewhere. With his co-authors, Gyourko has constructed a residential land price index for 35 large cities in China based on government sales of land to private developers. These data show that prices have increased in inflation-adjusted terms by about 80 percent a year in Beijing over the past decade but by only 10 percent a year in Xian (see Chart 2).
If we aggregate real house prices across countries and look at the big picture, we see that global house prices continue to march slowly upward. This is what we observe in the latest update of the Global House Price Index (Figure 1). The index has continued to edge higher for the past sixteen quarters.
This upward trend in the Global House Price Index is consistent with the pattern we see when we look at real house price growth across countries. Even though the growth rate varies across countries, house prices are rising in many countries (Figure 2).
Moreover, there is also a clear shift in momentum when comparing house prices in 2015 vs. 2009—the peak of the global financial crisis. We can see this by comparing the proportion of countries with either positive or negative real house price growth for both periods (Figure 3). Specifically, the share of countries with positive real house price growth has gone up from 24 percent in 2009 to 75 percent in 2015. And we see the opposite, when we look at the proportion of countries with negative house price growth. Here the share of countries with 3 negative real house price growth has declined from 76 percent in 2009 to 26 percent in 2015. However, it is important to note that global growth has slowed recently, especially in emerging markets. So it will be important to monitor the data in upcoming quarters to determine the impact on the uptrend in global house prices.

This upward trend in the Global House Price Index is consistent with the pattern we see when we look at real house price growth across countries.
But as Drum noted in the Economist article, "Despite forecasters' best efforts, growth is devilishly hard to predict".
Last year, in September, my presentation at the Federal Forecasters Conference summarized my work on the inability or unwillingness of forecasters to predict recessions. I suggested that to get forecasters to predict recessions (even inaccurately) we should have a Stekler Award for Courage in Forecasting. The award would be in honor of noted forecaster Herman Stekler who says that forecasters should predict recessions early and often and that he himself has predicted 9 of the last 5 recessions.

What are the new policies that the UK government announced?
Will house price head north or south?
What are the likely implications?
1. What are the new policies that the UK government announced?The short answer: a series of measures to ease house prices and boost the housing supply.
The long answer: in November, the UK government announced three new policies for the housing market in its joint Spending Review and Autumn Statement. First: a new Help to Buy equity loan scheme for London will give buyers 40 percent of the home value from early 2016, as opposed to 20 percent. Second: help people get on the housing ladder through Help to Buy: Shared Ownership scheme. Third: from April 2016, people purchasing additional properties such as buy to let properties and second homes will pay an extra 3 percent in stamp duty. Moreover, in January, the House of Commons approved additional measures to boost housing construction.
2. Will house prices head north or south?
The long answer: "Government initiatives to support home ownership and build new houses will fail to have any real impact in 2016, with UK property prices expected to keep climbing", according to a recent Financial Times survey. The survey asked 88 economists the following question: What effect are government policies likely to have on the housing supply and demand in 2016? How much will they contribute to likely changes in house prices?
The result of the survey is consistent with other data showing a similar upward trend in house prices. According to another survey, there is a pick-up in both activity and price expectations reflecting a rush to purchase Buy To Let properties ahead of the change in the Stamp Duty in April, according to Simon Rubinsohn at Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. Moreover, "The housing market has enjoyed some smooth sailing in the past year, with a steady 6.6% growth in house prices during 2015 (…) If the current speed of house price growth continues into 2016, the value of the average home may soon pass the £300,000 watermark, having reached £250,000 in December 2013", according to LSL Property Services/Acadata. The latest numbers from Halifax, Knight Frank, and Office for National Statistics also points to an upward trend in house prices.
3. What can be done?
The short answer: it is complicated.
The long answer: on one hand, there seems to be a consensus among the experts that rising house prices is a concern and that there is not enough housing supply. On the other hand, there doesn't seem to be any consensus on what the best way is to deal with rising house prices and expanding the supply of housing.
4. What are the likely implications?
The short answer: among other things, rising house prices will likely lead to bigger mortgages and more affordability problems.
The long answer: Mortgages that extend over 35 years are now quite normal and may even overtake the traditional terms of 20-25 years (Halifax). "All else being equal, it's an odd trend. Interest rates remain at record lows so it should be easier to afford a shorter tenure for your borrowing", says Patrick Jenkins of the Financial Times. "But of course all else is not equal. The cost of the average home jumped again last year by more than 6 per cent, and in London by more than 11 per cent. To cope, home buyers are borrowing higher sums over longer periods. For the same monthly repayment, you can fund a 20 per cent bigger mortgage if you borrow over 35 years instead of 25", according to Jenkins. In 2014, Andrew Bailey of the Bank of England pointed out that if mortgages extend into retirement when incomes fall "we have a long-term problem".
Moreover, "property is set to become even more unaffordable going forward", says Simon Rubinsohn at Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors. "So building more houses is the key to solving the problem, right? — Well, not exactly. It only works if house builders build a glut of homes that people can afford", notes Lianna Brinded at Business Insider. More recently, UK ministers have been criticized for broadening the definition of affordable housing. The new definition "(…) includes so-called starter homes costing up to £450,000 — 17 times the average British salary" (Financial Times). Meanwhile, Politico says that what "(…) should worry those in Brussels who desperately want the U.K. to stay part of the EU is its housing market. (…) In broad terms, there is a shortage of good quality affordable housing, particularly in the southern half of England." Finally, the New Economic Foundation takes a look at the human cost of the housing crisis.
"12 months of growing crisis"—that's how the Guardian summarizes the housing market developments of 2015. This could partly explain the recent housing market measures announced by the UK government. However, experts doubt that these measures will have any effect.


Sony 4K Ultra Short Throw. As technology continues to evolve, so does the quality of the simulation and entertainment experiences in the home. With higher resolution images and better sound quality delivered across high-speed broadband, the feeling of a live performance is closer to reality than ever before. By taking advantage of these combined developments, and adding in some Sony magic, a new user experience has emerged.
Users can enjoy entertainment content without the restrictions of frames, boxes, or screens by utilizing space itself.
Simulation, movies, video games, sports and photographs take on an air of realism, turning what was once a blank wall into a large as life "entertainment window." The beauty of the new projector is that it requires no special tools or construction to install and operate.
Simply set it right next to a wall that would not yield any shadows of people into a screen, and plug it in to enjoy immersive, large screen, 4K Ultra HD images.
Furthermore, unlike other projectors on the market today, it is designed to blend into a living space, as naturally as an entertainment console. It also has the ability to display current video content services from IP, satellite or cable providers as well as 4K content sources including Video Unlimited 4K, Netflix and 4K content shot on Sony's expanding range of 4K Handycam camcorders.

Q: Linearlayout overlay another linearlayout I have some problem with add linearlayout dynamically. It's add on the top of screen, overlay other linearlayout.
Here XML,code and results.
XML:

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/top_km"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:background="#888"
    android:gravity="top"
    android:textColor="#fff"
    android:textSize="30dip"
    android:layout_centerHorizontal="true"/>

<RelativeLayout
        android:layout_width="fill_parent"
        android:layout_height="fill_parent"
        android:layout_below="@+id/top_km"
        android:id="@id/textLayout">

</RelativeLayout>

Code:
myLayout = (RelativeLayout) page.findViewById(R.id.textLayout);
LinearLayout linLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
linLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.VERTICAL);
LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
myLayout.addView(linLayout);
LinearLayout hozLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
hozLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);
LayoutParams params = new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT);
myLayout.addView(hozLayout);

Results:
enter link description here
Thanks

A: Don't use a RelativeLayout as your holder. Use a LinearLayout with orientation="vertical" instead.
<LinearLayout
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:layout_below="@+id/top_km"
    android:orientation="vertical"
    android:id="@id/textLayout" />

then in code
myLayout = (LinearLayout) page.findViewById(R.id.textLayout);
followed by
// rest of your code

A: It's because you use RealativeLayout for proper adding use
 1. RelativeLayout.LayoutParams for st LayoutParams
 2. In LayoutParams use field below
Example:
RelativeLayout rl=new RelativeLayout(this);
LinearLayout ll1=new LinearLayout(this);
TextView tx1=new TextView(this);
tx1.setText("Test1");
ll1.addView(tx1);
rl.addView(ll1);
LinearLayout ll2=new LinearLayout(this);
TextView tx2=new TextView(this);
tx2.setText("Test1");
ll2.addView(tx1);
rl.addView(ll2);
RelativeLayout.LayoutParams lp2=(LayoutParams) ll2.getLayoutParams();

And then use lp2.addRule
Here some help:
Parameters
verb    One of the verbs defined by RelativeLayout, such as ALIGN_WITH_PARENT_LEFT.
anchor  The id of another view to use as an anchor, or a boolean value(represented as TRUE) for true or 0 for false). For verbs that don't refer to another sibling (for example, ALIGN_WITH_PARENT_BOTTOM) just use -1.

A: Maybe it's easier for you to add it in the XML file with android:visibility="GONE" and then in the code just show it (View.VISIBLE) or hide it (View.GONE).

Sha'Carri Richardson claims American Airlines attendant threatened and harassed her
Angelina Velasquez
January 21, 2023, 9:59 AM ·2 min read
Weltklasse Zurich 2022 - Diamond League
Track star Sha'Carri Richardson's vacation plans hit a snag on Saturday (Jan. 21) while onboard an American Airlines flight. She said a male flight attendant harassed and threatened her before she was escorted off the plane.
In her Instagram Stories, Richardson explained she was on a call as flight attendants began to go through their safety demonstrations. The male attendant, whom she identified as John, allegedly asked her to end the call. She obliged, but their interaction continued to escalate.
Richardson wrote, "I stated to him [that] I didn't like the tone he used with me. Following that, while standing in front of me doing the safety protocols, he continued to lean over to look at my phone. He asked to see that my phones were in airplane mode. At this point, he demanded that [I] show him, which I did in front of him."
Additional footage of the ordeal showed the sprinter recording herself as she talked about being on vacation. For a brief moment, John entered the frame but quickly moved behind a curtain as he uttered something to Richardson. She responded, "I'm recording me, but you jumped in my video, so I caught you because you jumped in my video. You're harassing me at this point, so I think you should stop. I think you should stop."
The 23-year-old managed to maintain a calm approach to the turmoil until a male passenger interjected to call her selfish for causing him to miss his connecting flight. She claimed another passenger later took a jab at her 2021 Tokyo Olympics ban. Other nearby passengers also grew frustrated as they suggested she stop arguing with the flight's staff.
When Richardson posted the recording to her page, she questioned if she should take legal action against the airline and if the outcome would have been different if she were white. "Tell me if I'll be wrong to pursue legal actions against the airline @americanair. Not only did the man threaten me but also an innocent bystander who simply just wanted a picture with me," she wrote. In the caption, she also mentioned, "I'm pretty serious; the disrespect I received would not have happened if I was one of them… If I can help just one person not have to deal with a situation like this with an individual like this, I'll take the heat."
The post gained support from numerous social media users, including pro football player Odell Beckham, Jr., who had a similar unpleasant encounter where he too was escorted off of an American Airlines flight earlier this month. He commented, "Tell me [you] got kicked off the American flight for no reason" and "Whaaaat, but I'm the a**hole."

Iran's New president - a Chance for a Change?
Posted in Iran | 27-Jun-13 | Author: Tunne Kelam
Has something changed in Iran after unexpectedly quick and smooth presidential elections?
Is Mr. Rohani about to initiate a turn towards a more moderate policy?
Has there been a fight between "hawks" and "doves" which resulted in the "dove" candidate's surprising victory already in the first round?
Can we now expect more open and cooperative policies on such crucial issues as Iran's secretive nuclear enrichment, systematic exports of terrorism and arms to other countries, especially to Syria, building long range missiles and suppressing all political discontent?
Or is the triumph of the "moderate" Hassan Rohani just part of the classical showcase which various dictators have used over the years to divert attention from the most critical problems they face, to alleviate foreign pressure on their regime and to create a desperately needed breathing space?
Let us first face some essential realities on Iran. It is a highly centralized, determined and cruel dictatorship which has 34 years of experience in unscrupulously retaining the absolute power for the ruling theocratic elite.
Real power is concentrated in the hands of the supreme religious leader whose reign has nothing to do with democracy. It is Ayatollah Ali Khamenei who, with his closest group of mullahs, decides all the crucial moves in Iran's policy. Before any "elections" can take place, Khamenei selects the candidates who have to deserve his trust. He selects only the people who have proven that they will serve the cause of their supreme leader with absolute loyalty.
As for the latest presidential elections, Khameini's unelected committee of 12 mullahs brushed aside about 600 candidates, including all women, non- Muslims, Sunni Muslims and national minority representatives. Only eight loyalists were allowed to enter the public stage where the ceremony of multi-candidate elections was performed.
Having spent more than half of my life in the totalitarian Soviet Union, I have to admit that the Iranian regime has succeeded in developing a much more sophisticated model of "guided democracy" in order to disguise the hard core of its absolute dictatorship. While the Soviet rulers never risked experimenting with more than one candidate, the mullahs manipulate with multiple candidates making foreign observers forget that all candidates are hand-picked members of the same ruling elite.
However, both the Soviets and the Tehran dictators have pursued the same strategic goal – to confuse and divide democratic states in assessing the real nature of their regimes. Both dictatorships were able to count on Western mentality, always exited to believe in superficial changes and to find hope in new faces. The classical game of doves and hawks, moderates and conservatives still seems to bring rich dividends to undemocratic regimes. As one commentator observed, the expectation of a "moderate" Iranian leader has beguiled every American president since the Iranian revolution started in 1979.
I agree that there must have been outbursts of joy in Tehran, but mostly because people felt relieved by the end of the reign of president Ahmadinejad who was hated for his rigging of elections and brutal suppression of mass protests four years ago.
But I cannot agree with the exitement of those observers who see the victory of a "moderate" as "bursting through in the first round despite predictions." Has anything really changed regarding the transparency and reliability of the Iranian electoral system? On what reliable basis can one assume that the victory of Mr. Rohani came as a result of spontaneous expression of voters' free will? How can we be expected to believe that this time there was no rigging both in the number of participants as well as in the counting of votes?
I think it is much more logical to assume that a "moderate" candidate was selected to win by the supreme theocratic leadership. They must be in a rather desperate situation as a result of their failed economy and Western sanctions that bite harder than ever. A staged surprise victory of Mr. Rohani is bound to boost the mullahs' legitimacy, to provide badly needed breathing room, to create conditions for loosening sanctions and to gain more time to complete their strategic goals.
At the meantime, even hopeful optimists have trouble in proving the new president's "moderate" background. In fact, beginning from 1989, Mr. Rohan has served as the powerful secretary of his country's Supreme National Security Council. In this position, he led the bloody crushing of the 1999 student uprising. He openly supports Iran's nuclear programm, has promised not to halt uranium enrichment and has evaded the crucial issue of Iran's military support of the Syrian regime. Promising in general terms a greater transparency, he revealed his (and his supreme leader's ) biggest concern – to achieve an agreement with the West not to impose any new sanctions. And then – to reduce the existing sanctions!
It is as pragmatic as that! It is not about internal reforms or more tolerance for the opposition. It is about saving the Tehran terrorist regime that has started to crumble under mounting international pressure.
The "elections" in Iran have brought out into open the vulnerability of this dangerous and inhumane dictatorship. There is now an opportunity to bring about real change. Instead of suggesting ( like Mr. Tabrizi writes in the Euroobserver of June 18) to Baroness Ashton to "take the opportunity to re-calibrate EU's sanction policy", offering "credible incentives to build confidence", we need to open our eyes to reality. Not only seeing that sanctions are really making an impact but also starting to see that there is a long-time powerful opposition, supported by more than 3000 parliamentarians all over the democratic world, that offers a democratic alternative to the aggressive clerical dictatorship which will never change its substance. For years, Western governments, pressured by the Tehran mullahs, have ignored and partially neutralized the National Council of Resistance – Iran (NCRI), which advocates for a non-nuclear, secular and peaceful Iran, which will provide for the rights of women as well as for minorities. Lately, President Obama and some other heads of government are seriously considering supplying arms to Syrian rebels, despite the fact that some of them seem to be islamist extremists. On this background it is especially hypocritical to continue suspecting NCRI of extremism while still believing in the efficacy of building confidence with the professional terrorists that are clinging to power in Iran.
Regime change can be brought about by the Iranian people themselves, provided the West keeps not only up its pressure on the mullahs but also will extend political and moral support to their opponents.
One of the students who was imprisoned and tortured as a result of Mr. Rohani's crackdown in 1999, has concluded:
"If we are ever going to get freedom and democracy, we are not going to get them from Rohani".

Karl or Carl is a Scandinavian first name that is derived from the German word karl meaning "man" or "free man." Karl/Carl as a patronymic surname became Karlsson/Carlsson in Sweden, less frequently Karlsen/Carlsen in Denmark and Norway. Ingvar Carlsson was the Swedish Prime Minister in the 1990's; while Magnus Carlsen from Norway is the current world chess champion.
Scandinavian surnames were rarely hereditary in the manner of German or British surnames until the 18th century at the earliest. In fact the use of hereditary surnames that were passed down from father to son only became mandatory in the mid-19th century. Thus it was that Carl and Helga Erickson came to America in 1861 with their son Swan Carlson.
Curtis L. Carlson Founder of the Carlson companies in Minneapolis.
Eddie E. Carlson Seattle business executive.
Karlsson is the third most common surname in Sweden. Swedish immigration to America began in the 1850's. Many came from the province of Smaland in southern Sweden where there had been much social distress and poverty at that time.
However, the Karlssons or Carlssons arriving in America invariably had their spelling changed to Carlson. Thus Emil Karlsson who came through Elis Island in 1922 had his name changed from Karlsson to Carlson at that time. Carlsons today in America number around 60,000.
America. Swedes like the Carlsons generally made for the American Midwest. The largest number then and still today are to be found in Minnesota.
Minnesota. Many came, like Gustaf Carlson in 1858, with little money and no English.
Carl Carlson made his home in Stockholm township in Wright county in 1867. He cleared the land for his farm and helped in the building of the Lutheran church. His son Carl moved to Cokato in 1888 and ran the Western Hotel there for twenty-five years.
Lars Carlson meanwhile came with his family to Hibbing, Minnesota in 1893 in the early days of the mining boom town on the Mesabi iron range. Lois Carlson Willand's 2007 book The Carlson Family in Hibbing covered his family.
Charles Carlson arrived in the 1890's and made his home in Minneapolis. He went to work for a wholesale grocery firm and later started his own neighborhood grocery store. His son Curt Carlson, born in 1914, started a retail trading stamp business during the Great Depression which, after the War, expanded into one of the largest family-held corporations in America.
Leroy F. Carlson, born in 1892, opened the Main Motors car dealership in Anoka in 1919 and it has remained in family hands ever since. A descendant Gretchen Carlson was crowned Miss America in 1989 and later became a TV commentator.
Arne Carlson became Governor of Minnesota in 1990. He had, however, been born to Swedish immigrant parents in New York and had first come to Minnesota as a graduate student in 1957.
Kansas. Carlsons also made it to Kansas. Swan Carlson came to farm in Saline county in 1869. John August Carlson, just a boy at the time, came in the same year. He worked as a cattle herder and farm hand and then in the packing business in Kansas City. Eventually, in 1898, he was able to buy farming land in Wyandotte county.
Charles and Anna Carlson arrived in the 1890's and made their home near Concordia in Cloud county. Their son Frank Carlson was a farmer who accidentally became a politician.
California. John Carlson was early in California, first arriving in San Francisco by sea in the 1840's and then starting a hotel up the coast in Mendocino county.
Billy Carlson who came to San Francisco from Sweden in 1870. He can be considered one of the founders of San Diego and served as its mayor during the 1890's. However, he was a land speculator of dubious practices and spent time in federal prison.
Eddie Carlson, born in Tacoma, Washington in 1911, who became a civic leader in Seattle and later ran United Airlines.
and Paul Carlson, the son of Swedish immigrants Gustav and Ruth Carlson, who was born in Culver City in 1928. He was a medical missionary in the Congo murdered by rebel insurgents in 1964. He is commemorated by the Carlson Park in Culver City today.
Canada. The Canadian West opened up later than the American West so that Carlsons arrived there later.
Nels Carlson came to Manitoba from Sweden in 1888. After trying different things, he made his home in Whitewater in 1891 and brought his wife and children over from Sweden. In 1932 Nels and Karna Carlson celebrated their golden wedding anniversary in Whitewater.
Sven and Huloa Carlson came to Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1911. They homesteaded at Spearhill nearby. Their story was covered in Dianne Olmstead's 1996 book Journey in the Footstps of Our Forefathers.
Some arrived from America. Francis Emil Carlson came from Illinois to Melville, Saskatchewan in 1912; Anton Carlson from South Dakota to Preeceville, Saskatchewan around the year 1920; and Victor Carlson from Minnesota to Vancouver at a slightly later date.
Frank Carlson served as Governor and as Senator of Kansas in a political career that lasted from 1928 to 1969.
Chester Carlson was the inventor of the photocopying process which he patented in 1937 and which was later taken up by the Xerox Corporation.
Curt Carlson expanded his retail trading stamp business started in Minneapolis in 1938 into one of the largest family-held corporations in America.
Eddie Carlson was a Seattle business executive who organized the 1962 World's Fair and later became the CEO of United Airlines.

Childhood is meant to be an accumulation of new experiences: some set us free, others bring us joy, and there are those that we dearly wish we had avoided. Think about that list of firsts: the first step, first ice cream, first poetry recital, first detention class… somewhere in there lies the kernel of an adult life lesson.
But never before in our rapidly evolving history as consumers have children accumulated material things quite like they do today. How did we get to a point where every demand is met with a yes? In Juliet B Schor's book, Born to Buy: The Commercialized Child and the New Consumer Cult, she notes that children's toys began to serve as markers of social status in the 1870s. Now, children have begun to represent the family not just in name but also in the purchasing power they represent.
Indian parents are having fewer kids today than they were a few decades ago, and those kids are growing up a lot quicker, with the age of puberty falling in most parts of the world. On the other hand, with adults so openly worshipping at the altar of youth, the boundaries between grown-ups and children are blurring—our toys are rapidly becoming their toys; they want the same things we covet.
A father who recently shifted from Delhi to Mumbai shared a similar story. He has bought a smart TV, and is saving up money to buy his ten-year-old a PlayStation 4.
"It's the ultimate ice-breaker when he's in a room full of new kids," he said.
The parental anxiety about whether his son will fit in socially takes other, equally expensive forms—he took his unenthusiastic son to the Justin Bieber concert, simply because he knew all the cool kids in his class would be going.
A Delhi-based parent said her young child wanted Reebok shoes and a Plasma television because her sentence construction at school in grammar class is thoughtlessly riddled with examples like "I am tying the laces of my Reeboks" or "I have got a new Plasma TV". Most schools, however, are trying to keep it simple. A working mother in Mumbai blamed her own guilt rather than the school's influence.
"She's an only child and I'm away at work all day," she said, by way of explanation. Her affection or guilt takes the form of six pairs of Converse sneakers, and more clothes than can fit into the wardrobe of her 15-year-old (who shops online twice a week anyway). Her child goes to a school that is strict by most standards—it maintains a no-mobile-phones-or-gadgets policy and has a strict uniform code—but get-togethers outside of school are where everyone cuts their social teeth.
A Mumbai-based couple had to refuse an invitation on behalf of their child because the party was in Egypt, and they knew they would never be able to reciprocate an invitation at that scale. Even toddlers have begun to return from parties with return-gifts like iPads and iPods. Adrian Furnham and Barrie Gunter's book, Children as Consumers: A Psychological Analysis of the Young People's Market, proposes that children can identify products by brands by the time they are two—so there's barely enough time to socialise them before brand consciousness sinks in.
Bangalore-based psychotherapist Tasneem Nakhoda doesn't see a quick cure for this sort of pressure on parents and children. "The onus is on parents here," she said. They are a child's primary socialising agent and set the bar for the family's spending. Often parents haven't helped children develop the confidence to just shrug off the competition with classmates, to buy and consume more.
Cultural theorists have long argued that notions of childhood innocence versus adult appetite are nothing more than a projection of adult desire. We live in an age where our desires are souped-up by social media and digital marketing. We may have a good thing but enjoy it only until we want to upgrade it for the latest thing. Why should children somehow be exempt from this endless material greed?
It may be a good time to take a long hard look at ourselves as parents and role models, and see what gaps in family rapport and exposure need to be plugged. To put children in the driving seat when it comes to economic decisions is to take away opportunities for them to accumulate things that money can't buy.
Sometimes, perhaps the best role a parent can play is the ability to say no.


Regional Programs consists of five offices located throughout the state. Each office consists of at least one regional administrator and a secretary. They are responsible for monitoring the operation of the EMS system in their area and act as advocates for the services in their region.
The general functions of the five offices are very similar, but because of demographic and geographic variations across the state, the individual duties of regional administrators can vary.
In the event of a large-scale incident, regional administrators are expected to be available to support local responders with the coordination of health and medical resources. In many cases, they will be the first State administrative representatives on the scene.

A cashless health policy is of great advantage during medical emergencies. It reduces your financial burden and ensures that you recover with peace of mind.
How does a cashless mediclaim plan work?
When you avail of a cashless health insurance, all your medical bills will be covered by the insurance provider, thereby eliminating the need for you to pay from your pocket. The insurance company enters into direct negotiations with the hospitals in their network and settles the incurred expenses.
It is imperative to know whether the concerned hospital is present in the network of hospitals of the health health insurance company. For this purpose, you may check the list of Third Party Administrators (TPA) present in your cashless mediclaim policy. Once you have identified whether the hospital is present in the insurance company's network, you may visit the healthcare provider.
You are then required to display your health insurance card and fill a pre-authorization form. Your doctor will also fill certain details to verify whether all the provided facts are true. The form is then sent to the TPA for sanctioning. Upon successful verification, the hospital receives an approval for treatment. You may then get complete medical treatment without making any payment towards the same.
Cashless policies are becoming a popular insurance option due to the numerous benefits they offer. Following are the five major advantages of such policies.
Cashless health insurance plans are useful in emergency situations as an ailing patient being brought to a hospital may not be able to arrange for the necessary funds at that particular time. Hence, you do not have to frantically run around trying to meet your healthcare expenses.
There may be an occurrence of a medical emergency while traveling. Being in an unfamiliar place, you may not have acquaintances to help you out. Instead, you may simply visit any of the wide range of hospitals and avail of the benefit of the cashless insurance facility.
A major benefit of cashless insurance is that it offers peace of mind. You may receive quality treatment and focus on speedy recovery instead of having to worry about paying medical bills.
Most cashless insurance plans offer coverage for pre- and post-hospitalization expenses, ambulance charges, domiciliary treatment, and inpatient care, besides many others. Some insurance plans also provide medical check-ups at regular intervals. The coverage, however, varies from provider to provider. You may, therefore, compare numerous plans and opt for one that is best-suitable for your needs.
The premium paid towards the policy is eligible for tax benefits under Section 80D of the Income Tax Act 1961, up to a limit of INR 10,000 for individuals and INR 15,000 for senior citizens.
You may keep the aforementioned benefits in mind and opt for cashless insurance. This ensures that you receive complete health care without worrying about making cash arrangements.

In an Undercollateralized World
The world is undercollateralized. This is the single most important feature of the 2011 economy. Sixty years ago, if assets were worth less than loans, it was possible to work our way into the black. In 1950, 59% of US corporate profits were from manufacturing; 9% were from finance. The roles of manufacturing and finance have reversed. Thus, we witness the desperate attempts to forestall what cannot be prevented. Yet, the world must deleverage. Banks must write off loans. Loans to bankrupt developers and companies must be called. Living standards must fall.
The authorities are doing all they can to prevent the necessary deleveraging. That is the context in which Michael A.J. Farrell, CEO of Annaly Capital Management (NYSE:NLY), spoke to investors during his company's first quarter 2011 conference call:
"[T]he change that is happening in the financial markets is a chaotic mess. I believe the simultaneous execution of radical monetary policy, fiscal policy, and financial regulatory reform is introducing rather than reducing systemic risk in the global financial system by ignoring the simplest lesson of the scientific method. Rather than change one variable in a complex system and test the outcome, regulators and policymakers are changing virtually all of them at the same time: QRM [quantitative risk management], risk retention, the Volcker Rule, Basel III capital rules, derivatives clearing and related margin requirements. GSE reform. FAS 166 and 167. Zero-bound fed funds policy and QE2. Deficit financing, structural budgetary imbalances, and debt limit debate."
Where will this end? Michael Lewitt, proprietor of Harch Capital Management in Boca Raton, Florida, discussed the consequences of our leaders' catastrophic policies in the May issue of his monthly letter, The Credit Strategist:
"Rather than confronting sources of volatility, policymakers have sought to smooth out volatility at all costs. Unfortunately, these costs are proving to be very high and will ultimately prove prohibitive. Pressures build inside complex systems until they can no longer be suppressed. When these pressures can no longer be contained, they tend to erupt with far greater violence than had they been allowed to adjust earlier.
Lewitt continued. Federal Reserve Chairman Greenspan and Bernanke "convinced investors the Fed would bail them out if the economy or markets got into serious trouble. As a result, investors engaged in increasingly reckless behavior…" The result: "Rather than saving the markets, Mr. Greenspan's philosophy and approach guaranteed their failure." One of the consequences is "the build-up of unsustainable debt levels."
We are overleveraged, undercollateralized, and accentuating these unsustainable imbalances. Lewitt notes, "the Federal Reserve has accounted for 101 percent of the net Treasury bond issuance during the first four months of 2011." He goes on: "The US government has been the largest purchaser of Treasuries, promulgating a Ponzi scheme of unprecedented scale."
The US Treasury issues debt and QE2 buys it. Lewitt notes that 10-year Treasury yields have fallen from 3.59% on April, 11 2011, to 3.15% on May 6, 2011.
Since the Fed is the sole net buyer, the 10-year-yield is not a real interest rate. This is also true of the zero-percent short-term yield, one of the trial balloons listed by Michael Farrell. Interest rates are integral to the pricing of assets. A country without an interest rate has a stock market with a price, but not a value.
The future-focused investor should estimate the value of stocks, commodities, and bonds as if interest rates were 5% higher. That day will come to pass: when assets seek the price of their true collateral. This is not widely appreciated. For instance, the recent dive in silver prices has been acclaimed as a bubble that popped. That might be true, if paper contracts were worth the value they purport to represent. There is not enough silver in the world to meet derivative claims – of ETFs, forward contracts, and so on. When this misrepresentation is widely recognized, physical silver will attract panic buying.
Silver is a fairly small market, so this may go unnoticed. That will be a shame for the majority since everyone holds a paper claim that is not worth the money it is written on. Dollar bills, still flowing forth from the Federal Reserve (more exactly: from the US Treasury's Bureau of Printing and Engraving), are losing value every minute. Treasury securities are undercollateralized: the Treasury spends $3 for every $2 it receives in tax payments.
What to do? One idea comes by way of footnote #8 in this month's The Credit Strategist: "Readers interested in owning the Chinese currency can walk into the Bank of China in New York or Los Angeles and open a remnimbi-denominated account. While these accounts originally had limits on size, The Credit Strategist understands that these limits have now been lifted and meaningful amounts of money can be invested. These accounts are insured up to $250,000 by the FDIC (there must be some irony in that.)"
