Records indicate that Peter Eby 2 was born in ca. 1690, in Emmenthal, Berne, Switzerland and although this in nor documented, it seems to fit. He did not come to America in 1717, but came a few years later in 1719, where he is listed in Rupp?s on page 438. His marriage to Anna Meylin, a daughter of Martin myelin took place about 1720 and he had a family of at least seven children by this first marriage. His residence was in or near the house on the mill property where he was actively engaged as a miller. Anna Meylin seems to have passed away about 1739 as we now that in 1740 he took a second wife by the name of Barbara Groff who was the daughter of Martin Groff.
The only one of the five sons of Durst Eby 1, to die testate that we found was Peter Eby 2, who made his Last Will on August 7, 1748, in the presence of Christian Eby 2, Henry Shaver and James Love. There is no exact date of Peter Eby 2?s death, but we believe it was in the year 1750 and that he was almost certainly buried on the mill property with his father and brothers. We do know that on December 13, 1750, Barbara Ebey, widow of said Peter Eby 2, called late miller of Earl Township, was already married to Dewalt Litchey. It appears that almost five years passed form time of Peter Eby 2?s death until the Letters of Affirmation were filed at the Lancaster Court House. On December 11, 1754 Henry Shaver swore that he witnessed the writing of Peter Eby 2?s will of Peter Eby 2, of Earl Township.
The best list of children our research found for Peter Eby 2 was dated January 1, 1768 and is found in Deed 3G-731, which is a release to Benjamin Owen; by Christian Eby 3, Jacob Eby 3, Henry Eby 3, Peter Eby 3, Abraham Eby 3, Barbara Eby 3 married to John Bender, Anne Eby 3 married to John Heller, Dorst Eby 3, Martin Eby 3, and John Eby 3. It appears that Isaac Eby 3, another son of Peter Eby 2, was dead by the time this transaction took place.
The line of Peter Eby 2 has been greatly expanded since we have published our first two volumes. We have now given many new Eby lines to trace to in this section, as well as, the names of wives and clarification of dates. This is the first real assembly of this family in print and we are very proud of this achievement. Included in the assembly is the line of Andrew Eby 4 and Barbara, his wife, the progenitors of the Abee family if North Carolina.

The purpose of the study was to try and identify the relationships between the experiences of Polish nationals in the time of World War II and those aspects of their social identity that relate to their past and contemporary (i.e. 1990s) sense of national identity, and ways of defining and communicating their own and others' national identity. Based on the research report, the Department of Sociology of Culture at the University of Łódź published Biografia a tożsamość narodowa [Biography and National Identity] (Łódź, 1996), which consists of a series of articles and studies that reflect on the team's research techniques and presents a set of categories and analytical directions that emerged during seminars and workshops focused on the empirical material.
The collected narratives can serve as a valuable source for biographical work on the past in the discourse of three living generations (war and post-war generations and the grandchildren), which continues to be dominated by the wartime memories. Additionally, it should be noted that the generation of carriers of communication memory about the war is gradually dwindling. The interviews recorded in the project are a collection of semantic resources, where 'that time' is reconstructed by the narrators within the narrative 'present'. From this point of view, the biographical memory of collective historical experiences reflected in the narratives can be interpreted in terms of how a specific vision of the past is being constructed and why.
The fieldwork was conducted between 1992 and 1994. The collection contains 57 interviews. The project was funded by the Scientific Research Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences and was part of international research into the collective aspects of the biographical experiences of the war, conducted and coordinated by Prof. Fritz Schütze (Kassel-Magdeburg).
In 2016, an extended version of the book Biografia a tożsamość narodowa [Biography and National Identity] was published under the title of Biografia i wojna. Metoda biograficzna w badaniu procesów społecznych [Biography and War. The Biographical Method in the Study of Social Processes]. The latter book was edited by Katarzyna Waniek and Renata Dopierała.

Nicki Minaj Keeps On Trucking
The embattled superstar raps like she has not a care in a world on Jesy Nelson's new single, and more new music this week
Rich Juzwiak
and Megan Reynolds
PublishedOctober 8, 2021
Absolutely not: Jesy Nelson featuring Nicki Minaj, "Boyz" - "I like a bad, bad boy, you know I like a bad, bad boy," sings former Little Mix member Jesy Nelson (you may remember her viral Jamaican accent) on her first solo single. Yes, we know, or if we didn't, we could have predicted it. Bad boys: they're awfully popular! I guess every generation needs a reminder. This reminder happens to be particularly repetitive: The video and guitar-laden track directly reference P. Diddy's "Bad Boy 4 Life." Nicki Minaj does not directly reference her recent controversies in her guest spot, though she does state with a wink, "I only want a bad boy as my bestie." Cute! Anyway, in another stunning blow to cancel culture, Nicki Minaj is still here. —Rich Juzwiak

Make this music video an entire movie: Justin Beiber, "Ghost" - Listen, if you told me a Justin Bieber music video starring Diane Keaton as his grieving grandmother who learns to live a new life under his tutelage would be something that anyone wanted, under normal circumstances, I would laugh. However, after viewing the video for "Ghost," which is uh, just that, I demand a full-length feature film. Here's the logline: A grieving woman's life changes for the better when her bad-boy pop star grandson is forced to live with her in order to hide out after personal scandal, and both parties learn valuable lessons from each other about life, love, and seizing the day. Call me, Hollywood. — Megan Reynolds
Speaking of canceled: Arca featuring Sia, "Born Yesterday" - Did you know that after deleting her Twitter in February after receiving backlash for her portrayal of an autistic character in her movie Music, and then fighting with some of her critics (many of them autistic themselves), Sia still hasn't returned to Twitter? Anyway, if you missed her or her shouty singing, here she is with avant-pop artist Arca. The first two minutes of this are a no from me, but once the double-time kick drum ignites, it wins me over for recalling how well Sia can command a stomping four on the floor beat. —RJ
It's Christmas in October: Darren Criss, "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" - Under normal circumstances, this old chestnut is a reliable tearjerker, prone to moving me and anyone with a soul (?) to a brief cry. Darren Criss's oeuvre, however, does not move me to any sort of emotion other than, "Ah, that guy?" Perhaps I was hopeful that his dulcet tones would stir sentimentality or at least make me feel something—and surprisingly, it did. I am ready to skip past Halloween and hurtle straight into Christmas now. Just one play of this perfectly serviceable cover of an old standard made me yearn for snowfall and jackets. Is this the beginning of Q4's seasonal depression or is it a genuine desire for the treacly goodness of the holiday season? I don't know, but let me listen to this in private for another half hour or so, and I bet I'll know the answer. —MR

The Saw Doctors on Aussie ball tampering.
I cry easily, I'm a sentimental fool sometimes,I don't have a problem with that, I don't think it's a weakness in others – most of the time.
The fall out from "whatever-you-wanna-call-it-gate" around the events in the third (cricket) Test match between South Africa and Australia last weekend rumbles on. Time was you would believe that Aussies never cried, their skipper Kim Hughes was denounced for his weakness when he broke down in 1984 after suffering poor results and little or no support from a testosterone-heavy dressing-room.
Now, it seems, if you don't cry to order when the cameras are in front of you there's something wrong. Having listened to and seen the performances from the three players and the coach I am reminded of the words from the wonderful Saw Doctors song "HowYa Julia" about the Bishop Eamonn Casey of Galway affair.
"Oh the blind and faithful followers, are worried and distraught.


The principal perceived obstacle to e-commerce uptake is similar across small business companies. This is mainly related to management capacities and financial abilities to fully integrate the company's business functions using the Internet. This paper presents the steps that led to an e commerce community model for online shopping developed by the Collectivité ingénieuse de la Péninsule acadienne (CIPA), an Industry Canada's smart communities partner. The model aims to accommodate the specific needs of small business companies in rural regions, in order that they can fully take advantage of the opportunities offered by e-commerce. This model is built in such a way that companies doing e-commerce will share a common virtual space and services. It is expected that the model involves a drastic reducing of costs, increases visibility, and leads to a broader customer base.

Amid increase in road accidents in Goa, road safety on IBW participants' radar
by Goa Newswire | Dec 4, 2022 | Uncategorized | 0 comments
As thousands of bikers from all over the country rolled into Vagator to attend the two-day (or is it three day) India Bike Week 2022, the issue of overall road safety, especially for bikers and two-wheeler riders , has emerged as one of the talking points of the event.
Road safety has been a matter of concern in Goa, especially in wake of a spate of accidents – many of them fatal — involving two wheelers.
According to Goa Traffic Police data, January to October this year witnessed 202 road mishaps resulting in fatalities, 126 of whom comprised of two-wheeler riders.
Motorcycle manufacturers as well as bike enthusiasts in the country have in recent times launched initiatives to reduce road accidents, increase road awareness and underline the importance of good road engineering, like Royal Enfield with its 'Pothole Raja' initiative.
Pothole Raja recently concluded a joint awareness campaign to promote helmet adoption in Goa, while also shining a light on the subject of road safety awareness. Volunteers also repaired a large number of gaping potholes as part of the campaign.
Karl Coelho, founder of Scan Patch, runs one of the many commercial stalls set up at India Bike Week. Coelho, a biker himself, has come up with a unique safety device, which can be worn in form of a path on a biker's gear, which provides all the critical medical details about the biker in case of an accident, thus hastening treatment.
"The safety gear in the form of a fabric patch contains a scannable chip fixed on any part of your clothing wear, which enables the owner to store all the emergency information such as address, blood group, allergies, insurance, location and other functions. In the case of an accident, all the information is available in one ready place for paramedics," says Karl.
According to another IBW participant, Anand Dharmaraj, owner of Indiemotard Adventures and T.W.O Track riding school, it is important to ensure that those without valid licenses are not allowed on Indian roads.
Global bike companies like Ducati, he says, have already slipped in safety measure in their motorcycle production processes.
"Companies like Ducati have included key features into their motorcycles using radar and give more information to the rider as to their location, lane changes and vehicles nearby in the mirror itself. Obviously, it would pose a challenge to implement it in India with its high volume of vehicles and speed differentiation. IBW is a great stage to conduct demonstrations on road safety programmes and to educate people on their vehicles," he added.
According to Abdullah Sayad, head of sales at The Bike Shop Racing, installing cameras and fine imposition is required to bring down the road accident rate.
"Apart from that, roads are plagued with potholes and that increases accident risk. People need to be more knowledgeable about their two-wheelers, assess its weaknesses and strengths to ride more efficiently. There needs to be a joint effort from the government and the citizens to improve road safety awareness," he said.

Join Shaun Bryant for an in-depth discussion in this video Lines, part of AutoCAD 2017 Essential Training.
- [Voiceover] We're now in a new section of our AutoCAD 2017 essentials course, and as you can see, we've got the same drawing open but with a different file name so that you can download it from Lynda.com and obviously, utilize it to follow along with the videos. Now the section we're in is a section called drawing objects, and what we're going to look at in this particular video is drawing lines in AutoCAD 2017. Now, we're going to do a couple of things first though.
We're going to zoom in on the top right corner of the building in the drawing. So you can see there's this door here and there's this door here. We're gonna zoom in on this room here, and I want you to be able to see these two windows, that one there and that one there. So zoom in, and the trick here, get the crosshair in the center of the room, roll up on the wheel a couple of notches like so, and get it centralized using pan like that. Now, the reason that we're going to be working on that particular room is we're going to add an extra wall, and what we're going to be doing is partitioning each of these two rooms into two rooms each so we'll end up with four rooms instead of two.
Now I'm not going to take you into designing all the doors and everything. We're going to utilize the line command to draw the new internal walls. Now you'll notice there's a yellow layer here as well. Now that layer there, you'll notice, is a line, and the layer there is I-WALL. So before we do anything else, go to the home tab on the ribbon, enter the layers panel here, and just check that your current drafting layer is I-WALL. As you can see, mine is there, and all you do is click on the flyout there, scroll down to the words I-WALL, click on it, and that becomes the current layout.
Now, we're going to place two vertical lines that form the internal walls, and then what we're going to do, we're going to utilize the offset command to offset them as well. Now we want to make sure that all internal walls are the same width. So we want to make sure that we are obviously using the same width wall as we have here. Now a little trick: if you don't know what the width of the wall is, zoom in on part of the wall where you can measure it. I'm gonna go over this doorway here like so, and you can just see a little bit of wall there, and we're going to use the measure tool like we have in previous videos.
So I'll go to the utilities panel, measure, click on the flyout there and distance, and just making sure your object snaps are on down on the status bar, you're gonna go that endpoint snap there, left-click, to the endpoint snap there, left-click. So it's 138.5. So that particular wall is 138.5 millimeters wide. I'll just exit the distance command, hit escape a couple of times to cancel any commands that may be open. Now I want to zoom previous now and go back to the zoom I had before.
Utilize the navbar, come down here, click on the flyout. There's zoom previous. It just takes me back, saves me having to mess around with zooming and panning again. Now, I'm going to just draw two lines using the line command, and all I'm going to do is place a line between these two windows up here and these two windows up here, utilizing my object snaps. Now, there's one really neat object snap and it's an override object snap, and I'll show you how to use it in a second, but what we need to do first is obviously utilize the light command.
Now that's on the home tab in the draw panel, and it's right over here. There's the line command there. Click there and come into the drawing area, and once you've clicked on it, you'll notice that you get prompted to specify the first point of the line. Now, this where we utilize that really neat override snap. Just hold down shift on the keyboard, and what you want to do is right-click, and you'll see on the flyout menu that appears, you've got a mid between two points. Select that to snap it there. It doesn't show up anywhere else, and then zoom in on the two windows like so.
Now you just see the wall there, and I want a mid between that point there and that point there, and as soon as I do that, can you see my line starts mid between those two points. Roll back on the wheel now to zoom out and maybe pan upwards a little bit, and then just drag the line down. Now you'll notice it's working at 90 degrees with a polar angle of 270. That's because I've got polar tracking switched on down on the status bar as well. So we're using object snaps and polar tracking, and they're down on the bottom of the screen on the status bar.
As I come down, I get a midpoint there. As soon as you see that midpoint snap, and again, make sure that your object snap are on to get the snaps, and click there like so, and there's your line. Just press enter to finish the line command. Now, I'm mentioned a number of snap tools there that are available to you. When you're running in AutoCAD, here's your object snaps. Click on that arrow there. Make sure that these five snaps are ticked: endpoint, midpoint, center, intersection, and extension. They're the most commonly used snaps that you'll find.
So just make sure that they're available. I just press escape there a couple of times. That doesn't actually close that menu, weirdly enough. You do have to click on the little triangle again. A bit strange, but true, and that's how AutoCAD 17 works. Now the other thing I had switched on was my polar tracking. Now that's this one here, polar tracking, and again, click on the arrow there, and there's the angles there. I normally have it set to increments of 45 degrees here so I can get that 90 degree angle. So again, just click on the triangle there to close it, and those are the settings that you need to use.
Now we'll just repeat that one more time. I'll zoom out a little, pan across, and we'll split this room here, the room to the right. So again, I go to the line command up here, click on the line command, and it asks me to specify the first point. Shift and right-click, and you want the mid between two points. Now that's gone of the screen this time. I'll just hit escape, come down a bit, shift and right-click again, you want mid between two points there. Zoom in and get that point there, endpoint snap, that point there, endpoint snap, and it goes to the mid between two points, and then using the object snap tracking and the polar tracking, you come down here to the midpoint snap, and this time, can you see it getting an intersection because that line is not exactly each way? So you have to line it in and get an intersection with that yellow line there, click, and then just enter to finish the line command, and you've drawn your two lines ready to start developing the internal walls to split those two rooms in two.


The clash between Raees and Kaabil turned out to be one sided on the opening day. Raees grossed more than 10 crores as compared to Kaabil and was higher in all major circuits.
On the second day, Kaabil showed extraordinary growth (80%) and collected 18 crore. On the other hand, Shahrukh Khan starrer Raees also showed growth. But the trend for Kaabil was better due to the lower opening as it had more capacity to grow.
But the gap between Raees and Kaabil has been shortened on the third day. Friday was a working day and both films were bound to drop. But Raees has faced more drops which generally happens with mass-oriented films. Kaabil is almost at almost its opening day levels.
There is more chances for Kaabil to grow in the evening as city audience will come in good numbers. Though the screen count for Raees is higher and will still record much better collections than Kaabil.
Below is the Kaabil vs Raees 3rd day collection comparison.

Reflecting on the Complicated Middle East
August 13, 2014 by Tim Leave a Comment
The black lettering reads "We are all Christians."
Israel, Gaza, Isis, Iraq and all things Middle East are on many of our minds these days.
In respect to the Israeli-Palestianian conflict, we often ask, "Why is this conflict so complicated ? Among the reasons is its long history and each party telling its own version of it. We also know Iraq carries with its own complication. While the moral atrocities conducted by Isis are obviously evil, we again find the long-term solution to be weighty. Today we see a persecution that is bordering on holocaust that must be stopped.
The Middle East is certainly a topic that punishes you emotionally the more you read and learn. Sheer brutality, beheadings, sexual violence, children used as shields, missiles fired from churches, broken cease-fires, the perception of no mercy and brutal retaliation, and countless human rights abuses leave us extremely angry and frustrated. What is going on here? How do we stop it? How can we make things better? How can do it now?
Easy questions to ask, extremely difficult to answer and deliver. Our anger takes another step forward. What most of us want is to understand what's what. When you don't have access to the classified information and lack the power to mobilize an army or a peace delegation to stop the pain one way or another, you just feel powerless.
In the meantime, we try to read/scan/pick through all the content. There's a lot of rehash, a lot of bias, and personally, I find more frustration. Frankly, I don't really know what's going on, there's a lot of eye-witness accounts, a lot of opinion – some much better than others. There are images taken from other scenes and used for support, and all these other "snapshots" that don't quite fill out the big picture. I even find some of the good guys and villains switching roles and it's difficult to figure out who we can trust.Then because no one really knows, we attach the word "allegedly" to everything.
Then like with everything, there's our own bias and perspective. This informs not just our starting points but our potential emotional investments, among other things. We could continue comparing perspectives but the point really is everyone has a different one. Further, no one can or should assume too much of the other perspective. Like we said, it's complicated.
So what can we do?
Today, I'm feeling practical, strategic and spiritual and frankly, none of this seems that complicated. They may not lead to the short-term results we want today, but if enough people did them, it feels like things would change for the better.
I do think it's a good idea to give when you can to organizations that can provide relief and aid, particularly in the short-term. I also think petitions are helpful in at least two ways. They create awareness in the people next to you and somewhere, someone gets a message that says, "People really care about this." Action never comes fast enough but I find this helpful, particularly in cases like this one. Oh and don't listen to those who say social media campaigns don't work. They do. I'll look around for some data and post at some point but they work to some extent. How do I know? Well because the guy/girl next to me used to not know about a particular issue and because of social media, he/she now does. Now, do these campaigns exhaustively fix all the problems of the world and bring God's shalom? No. But they advance the good, bring relief, show care, and hopefully help the future for at least some. That's helpful.
Our collective ignorance is a common feeling especially in the information age. There's too much to know and if you don't feel a bit ignorant on certain topics, chances are you are lacking a bit of self-awareness. So we have to catch up a bit. We have to maintain reading/studying/learning habits. We have to foster humble learning postures that help us to be slow to react negatively and quick to care.
Lastly, I'm not ashamed to be spiritual. I do think prayer is effective. It works for me and the people/situation I'm praying for. Further, prayer helps me to not pick a side, hate what's evil and to petition God's peace. Indeed, I would prefer if the heart of the violent was changed before a bomb was dropped on his head. I don't have any control over the bombs but what if God used our intercession to change hearts, I would pray for that.
May the Lord's strength be with those in need right now and may anyone who has the power to act, contribute, advocate, and pray do so today.
Research and support relief organizations. I am currently looking into Open Doors. If you have one to recommend, please let us know in the comments.

In this clip from their talk at Q Nashville in April 2014, Bassam Aramin (a Palestinian) and Robi Damelin (an Israeli), both of whom have lost children in the conflict, talk about their unlikely friendship and their work together."
Finally, consider taking a few moments to pray before clicking off and moving on with your day.
Thanks for reading – grace and peace.


Orlando Criminal Defense Attorneys - Malik Law P.A.
Criminal defense is a practice used in the United States to defend individuals or organizations that have been accused of committing a crime. Criminal defense is intended to uphold the premise that people and organizations are innocent until proven guilty. Lawyers that specialize in criminal defense may also be able to assist individuals that have committed a crime in obtaining the best possible outcome.
All of the individuals and organizations that are accused of a crime are prosecuted by the government. Depending on the crime and the location where it was committed, the federal or state government may prosecute the accused. Since the resources available to government agencies often far exceed the resources available to defendants, criminal defense is imperative for keeping criminal proceedings fair. Criminal defense attorneys have extensive knowledge of the law, and are experts at making sure that none of a defendant's rights are violated.
A criminal defense lawyer typically follows a certain process in order to ensure that all of the facts are gathered prior to defending a person or entity that stands accused of a crime. Depending on the crime, criminal defense lawyers may interview witnesses, obtain copies of medical or financial records, and seek to obtain copies of surveillance tapes or other footage of the alleged crime. Once all of the facts and available evidence has been gathered, criminal defense lawyers will work together with the defendant to organize a case.
An experienced criminal defense lawyer will be able to review all of the evidence and advise the defendant on the best course of action to take. In some cases, this may mean a jury trial, while in others a settlement or a plea bargain may be more desirable. An attorney will review the differences in the actions and consult with the defendant about the most likely outcomes based on each scenario.
If the outcome of the case is favorable for the defendant, the criminal defense attorney is usually considered to be finished with the case. If the outcome of the case was unfavorable for the defendant, criminal defense attorneys may appeal the decision and request further legal proceedings. If a defendant is found not guilty of charges, the defendant cannot be tried again for the same crime. This guarantee against being tried twice for the same crime is a constitutional right that is commonly known as double jeopardy.
There are three main classifications for crimes: felonies, misdemeanors, and infractions. The classification of the crime is determined by state legislators in most cases, and takes into account the severity of the crime and the impact on others. Infractions are the most minor type of crime, and are typically punished with fines. Misdemeanors are more serious and can be punishable by up to a year in jail as well as fines, probation, community service, and restitution. Felonies are the most severe type of crimes and can be punishable by imprisonment up to life sentencing as well as hefty fines and in rare cases even the death penalty.
When a business or corporation requires criminal defense, it is often on charges of white collar crimes such as fraud or tax evasion. Businesses may also be accused of violating regulations, such as environmental restrictions. Criminal defense for businesses may become highly complex, so a lawyer that is experienced in defending organizations against these types of accusations should be sought.
Criminal defense attorneys may use a variety of defenses to challenge evidence that is brought forth by the prosecution. Insanity defense and coercion are two types of criminal defense that often result in dropped charges if insanity or coercion can be proven. However, it may be difficult to prove these factors.
Affirmative defense in which evidence is shown to be false is commonly used by criminal defense attorneys. In many cases, some of the evidence is accepted as factual, while other aspects of evidence are shown to be false. This type of defense is often used to lessen sentencing or prove innocence in a situation that would otherwise be considered a crime.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kerry from Brilliant Really really pleased with this mop, it's absolutely fantastic with the added bonus of twisting to rinse out which I find better than a normal mop & bucket.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from Great mop I've used this mop for several years and it mops well. The built in twist mop squeezes the excess water out and you can twist as lightly or as hard as you like. It mops as well as I normal mop and has a little sponge pad on the end if you need to scrub harder. Mop heads can be replaced easily and are only a few pounds. I've usually replaced it once every 18 months, and recently replaced the mop itself after 4 and a half years as the rod was beginning to rust a bit and I was moving house so thought it was a good time for a new one. Would recommend for a easy to use effective mop that's easy to store and cheap to maintain.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Olivia from Love this mop!! I got this mop a couple of days ago and it's one of the best things I've ever bought, not only does it squeeze out excess water so floors dry quickly but the scrubber on the end makes lifting tough dirt easy! My floors were sparkling after first use! Extremely happy!!!
Rated 5 out of 5 by susie q from brilliant! Bought this mop a couple of weeks ago. Never had such clean floors! Clever design that works well.

Roosevelt is a lovely cafe located at the most convenient place possible, right outside Outram Park MRT. Last Saturday, I was fortunate enough to be finally able to head down to Roosevelt. The interior of was so well down up, it really perfected the ambience of the cafe.
They even have nice flowers at each table.
They have the most mouth watering milkshakes, I'd recommend oreo cheesecake or salted caramel.
My favourite dish because of the strong mix of flavours!
The food was legit freaking good! We were so full but we just couldn't stop eating!! What's more, the presentation of the food was spectacular!

These Books are Treats for Hockey Fans
by Harvey Frommer
For the even the most die-hard hockey zealots out there as well as the average sports fan, two new books are sure to provide hours upon hours of researching, browsing and reading pleasure.
The books are "Total Hockey: The Official Encyclopedia of the NHL" (Total Sports Publishing, $54.95,1878 pages) and "The NHL Official Guide and Record Book 2000" edited by Dan Diamond (Total Sports Publishing, $21.95, 544 pages).
The "Official Encyclopedia" is a monstrous load just to pick up, but it's well worth the effort. There is just about every kind of data, information, anecdote one would want - biographical and statistical information on just about anybody who ever played the game - and a lot more stuff you can simply skate by.
Sections well worth dwelling on include an 800-entry biographical list, cross-era player comparisons, evolution of on-ice strategy, unusual events and hockey legend and lore. The book seemingly covers everything, from the sport's origins in Ireland to the 2006 Winter Olympics.
Andrews McMeel Publishing, Total Sports, and the National Hockey League have teamed up to produce "Total Hockey: The Official Encyclopedia of the National Hockey League." A lot of cooks worked together to create this broth which is a tasty treat for fans of the ice game.
"Total Hockey" is authoritative, complete, and fact-filled, a volume total in scope, covering not just the National Hockey League in the most comprehensive fashion ever, but also chronicling pre-NHL hockey, minor league and club hockey.
More than 75 writers, statisticians and hockey historians contributed to this omnibus. There is info on the Origins of Hockey, the Business of the Game, the Entry Draft, and the history of Hockey Strategy. There is a huge international section and data on the 2002 and 2006 Olympic team selections. World youth hockey is reviewed. There are over 1,000 entries in the biographical dictionary.
And there are also huge player and goaltender statistical registers with complete career stats: junior, college, senior, minor pro, NHL, Olympic, and international tournaments for 5,000 players. Expanded statistics for modern players include power-play, short handed, game-winning goals and plus/minus.
Special adjusted scoring stats compare players' numbers from different eras.
"The NHL Official Guide and Record Book," is issued annually to reporters, broadcasters, scouts, and general managers by the National Hockey League. It is a publication that tracks and documents much of the sport's key details. The book includes a guide to all NHL teams, a summary of the 1998-99 season, the complete NHL book, the Stanley Cup record book, and player and goaltender registers.
BOOKENDS: For those long winter months that still lie ahead for most of the country and for those who like statistics, two publications from St. Martin's Press belong on your library shelf. They are "The Sports Encyclopedia Pro Football ($19.99, 633 pages) and "The Sports Encyclopedia Baseball 1999" ($19.99, 744 pages). Big in size, detailed in scope, highly organized and priced right - both books are weapons to help settle most questions (even tiny trivia) about baseball and football.

Schiff Shifts The Goalposts (Again)
The President is not obstructing justice, but Adam Schiff is…
Democrats know they do not have a strong argument for impeachment, yet they continue to throw paint at a wall in the hopes of becoming the next Jackson Pollock. The latest charge against President Trump is that he obstructed justice because he did not provide the documents Congress requested.
Greg Jarret destroyed the argument for obstruction when he wrote for Fox News:
"Another article of impeachment may be obstruction of justice and/or contempt of Congress for not providing documents and failing to produce witnesses to the Intelligence Committee. This is just plain silly.
Invoking executive or other communications privileges is neither obstruction nor impeachable contempt. The president is permitted to exercise legally recognized privileges.
As my colleague Andrew McCarthy, a former federal prosecutor, explained: "When a person asserts a privilege recognized by law, we don't call that obstruction. We call that the law in action." If Schiff cares to challenge that right or privilege, he can do so in federal court.In truth, the most egregious acts of obstruction have been committed by Rep. Schiff. He continues to hide the identity of the whistleblower without statutory authority. He refuses to apply the standards of fundamental fairness and due process to his impeachment proceedings.
By contorting the impeachment clause, Schiff has consistently demonstrated contempt for the Constitution. His Republican adversaries certainly have plenty of contempt for the way he has mishandled his impeachment charade."
The President's actions have been entirely justified. Our legal system gives the President legal protections, and he has been using them and attempts to claim he cannot show either ignorance or malice. The only person obstructing justice is Rep. Schiff.

It may be tempting to just prepare everything yourself for your event. Although this can be a good move if you are able to get help and have the resources to be able to efficiently do so, this is not always the case. There are many elements to an event that aren't addressed properly by someone who is not an expert in the field. For this time, you should consider hiring a professional caterer. Below are the top reasons why people search "full service catering near me" when they are getting ready for their event.
People are led to believe that they are not going to be able to be flexible with their selection of meals if they go with a professional caterer. It is actually the opposite. Because you are getting professional assistance, you are able to choose the foods that you want without having to worry about not being able to cook or prepare them efficiently.
A professional caterer will know the dos and don'ts of catering which includes the sanitation. They will be able to address the hygiene of everyone working at the event. Amateurs will be more than likely to forget certain things when they handle the food which can lead to an unpleasant experience.
The overall vibe of your event will suffer if you are getting subpar service from an amateur catering. When searching for "full service catering near me", you will see that a professional caterer's setup stands out. That's not isolated to only the food. You can take a look at the table arrangements and foot traffic routing as well.
Going to an event, you will feel as if there is something off especially if there is an inexperienced amateur placed in charge of catering. The appeal of the event is going to benefit greatly if there's a group of professionals taking care of everything for your event.
A professional caterer is going to be more seasoned in terms of what happens during an event. They might be able to spot a guest needing assistance way before an amateur. They will also know how to handle certain hiccups with the event that you may not even notice.
A professional full service caterer will be able to handle the cleanup of the event as well. That means that you don't have to worry about asking a handful of people to help with the cleanup. You will also be able to save money on hiring a cleanup crew. The caterer will know how to clean what they served more efficiently.
You will be able to experience your own event as if you were on the guest list instead of being that looming figure that constantly has to check up on the guests. Your guests will also be able to interact with you instead of trying to avoid you because they believe that you are busy.

Free trade and dispute resolution
Richard Steinbach	 Apr 11, 2019
Richard Steinbach
If the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA) Agreement enters into force later this year, it will give member states a mechanism to resolve disputes and promote trade.
AfCFTA needs 22 ratifications before it enters into force. Currently 19 of the 49 signatories have ratified it and a further nine ratifications are expected in 2019.
When it comes into force, it will not automatically dissolve and replace other regional trade agreements across the continent. The levels of regional integration between member states of regional trade agreements will remain. The AfCFTA will provide a mechanism for the settlement of disputes between states in accordance with certain rules and procedures.
As African states do not generally sue each other, the AfCFTA will introduce an alternative dispute-resolution process to facilitate consultations and negotiations, rather than a strictly judicial procedure. The agreement will do so by establishing a Dispute Settlement Body (DSB) to facilitate disputes between states.
If a dispute arises, in the first instance, states will hold consultations to find an amicable resolution. Any requests for a consultation should be channelled to the other state through the DSB. These consultations will be confidential and without prejudice to the rights of the involved state.
Where consultations fail, the DSB will establish a Dispute Settlement Panel for formal resolution. The DSB (through the Panel) will then make a final and binding decision. This decision can be appealed to the Appellate Body (to be established by the DSB).
Interestingly, state parties to a dispute may mutually and voluntarily agree to refer the matter for conciliation, mediation or arbitration as alternatives to referring it to the DSB.
If the parties agree on arbitration, they will need to agree on the arbitration procedures. It is likely that the Model Law by the United Nations Commission on International Trade Law will feature in many of these arbitrations.
The DSB will also keep tabs on state parties' implementation of their (or the Appellate Body's) rulings and recommendations. Failing compliance, the DSB may impose temporary measures including compensation and the suspension of concessions.
It appears that only state parties will have the standing to make use of the dispute settlement mechanism in terms of the AfCFTA. It remains unclear by which body a dispute can be referred from the general populace of one of the state parties, or by any other interested party should this ever be necessary.
Currently, the South African Development Community (SADC) tribunal also does not allow any private parties to bring cases to it. The mechanism to settle inter-state disputes is welcomed as it should facilitate trade between member states.
A similar approach could be adopted to the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (Comesa) and the East African Community (EAC) Courts of Justice. They require the exhaustion of all local and possible internal remedies (within a state) before allowing an issue to be ventilated internationally.
We are enthusiastic about the prospects of the AfCFTA. Having such wide-ranging discretion for states to settle disputes through alternative dispute-resolution procedures, and not simply a strict judicial process, is likely to facilitate and encourage resolutions and pave the way for further partnerships between states.

Border Patrol Abuses
Cross-Border Shootings by Border Patrol
Cross-Border Shootings by Border Patrol Since 2010
Since 2010, more than 125 people have died at the hands of Border Patrol agents. Of those tragic deaths, six of them have been cross-border shootings, beginning with the tragic killing of Sergio Adrián Hernández Güereca.
Justice for the families of those who were killed in these incidents was dealt a serious blow on February 25, 2020, when the Supreme Court ruled that constitutional prohibitions and protections do not travel with the bullet, and denied the parents of Sergio Adrián the right to sue the Border Patrol agent who shot him. With this ruling, impunity of Border Patrol agents is now absolute, and there is nothing to stop them from shooting at will across the border, leading to more violence, death and distrust. In remembrance of these lives lost to unaccountable border patrol agents who operate within a culture of impunity, the Southern Border Communities Coalition tracks these tragic incidents, and calls on our lawmakers, elected officials and candidates to stand with border communities and move away from misguided and wrong-headed enforcement-only border policies, toward a New Border Vision that upholds the dignity and human rights of all people.

People have asked me how Claire is adjusting to life with Mr. Baby. I've seen her sweet personality emerge after a rough first week and for that, I am thankful.
Luke screamed like we were presenting him with some sort of monster when he first laid eyes on Isabela. Only a warm bath and a night sleeping with daddy appeased him.
The next day he was very lovely dovey. A week later, a bit frustrated by having to share my attention, he said, "Mom, Isabely go back now."
I love this picture!!! Alida is so right it is so beautiful to see siblings together. Brandan and Morgan are best friends and it is really cute to watch.
"No Mommy, you don't want to feed baby. He said he wants to take a nap." That's the most negative we get around here anymore when it comes to sharing time with the littlest one... Glad to hear you're adjusting well.
Such a sweet picture! I'm glad she's loving Mr. Baby this week.
Soooo great to see you both today! Man have I missed ya! You rock!

The Chancellor will have to address Britain's pay and productivity crisis if he's to avoid creating a £32bn feelbad factor in run-up to next election.
If you're the kind of person that finds money down the back of your sofa, the chances are you're the kind of person that also loses it down there in the first place. That's the lesson the Chancellor was taught by his budget yesterday.
At the centre of all the Commons rhetoric, stats and pun-strewn newspapers this morning is a major deterioration in the Office for Budget Responsibility's forecast for the public finances over the coming years: a £55bn fiscal hole, reversing more than twice over the £27bn fiscal windfall the OBR gave the Chancellor from the back of the sofa just four months ago at the Autumn Statement.
While the global backdrop has undoubtedly raised new challenges for the UK economy, that isn't what is doing the damage. Instead it is the OBR's judgement that the British economy is not just smaller after the financial crisis, it is also only capable of increasing productivity and growing at a slower rate going forward. This has major implications for the UK's growth capacity, for living standards and for the public finances – that £55bn again.
Faced with this deteriorating backdrop, the Chancellor talked about the need to be tough while actually (and sensibly) allowing most of the forecast increase in borrowing to take place over the next few years. Indeed he actually increased the fiscal hole by cutting income taxes from next April.
But the red line for the Chancellor was ensuring he still met his fiscal mandate of eliminating borrowing and running a surplus in 2019-20. Delivering that, while allowing borrowing to increase in earlier years, required him to pencil in a sharp reduction in borrowing in that (pre-election) year.
The plans the Chancellor announced yesterday imply a £32bn borrowing reduction in 2019-20, by far the largest in this Parliament. In cash terms it is actually £10 billion more than any year to year reduction since George Osborne became Chancellor. Of course it is fairer to compare borrowing reductions as proportion of GDP - because a bigger economy obviously finds a given change easier to both deliver and absorb. Here's a chart making that comparison for every year since the middle of the last century.
Under George Osborne the borrowing cut planned for 2019-20 is comparable only to the first two years of the last parliament – when he had just entered office in the immediate aftermath of a financial crisis and with legislation guaranteeing it would be three years until an election. It is true that similar borrowing reductions have taken place as a share of GDP before, but only rarely – and in only one pre-election year since the Second World War. It may be possible to cut borrowing as much as the Chancellor has pencilled in for 2019-20, but it's a brave man or women that says it's likely.
You might say that the OBR would only have put such a big borrowing reduction into the forecasts if there were concrete plans to make it happen. But the detail of those plans do not provide total confidence, including as they do switches between years of capital spending (a little over £1bn) and corporation tax revenues (£6bn), alongside a promised but yet to be identified further £3.5bn cut to departmental spending. A planned half a billion cut to aid spending is deliverable. Whether you think it is right or wrong is another matter.
So where does that leave the Chancellor's plan for a £10bn surplus at the end of this Parliament? I'd say that without faster growth turning up between now and then, or significant tax rises it's looking less likely than the close to 50:50 that the OBR puts on any surplus at all turning up. If the OBR was a bookie you'd put some money down against it happening at those odds.
If the Chancellor wants to improve the chances of meeting the target he could revisit plans for yet further increases in the income tax personal allowance to £12,500 and the higher rate threshold to £50,000 by 2020. The progress towards these measures announced in the Budget – which relate to 2017-18 – will cost £2bn (rising to £2.6bn by 2020-21), making the job of getting the public finances back on track that bit harder. They are highly regressive too, boosting the incomes of the richest fifth of households by an average of £225, compared to an average gain of just £10 among the poorest fifth of households. And that, combined with other major policy announcements made by the Government since last year's election, results in the poorest fifth of households losing an average of £550 in 2020, while the richest fifth of households will gain an average of £250.
The Chancellor has done the right thing by not over-reacting in the short term to swings in the OBR's fiscal forecasts. His priority yesterday was to show that he still had a plan to deliver a £10bn surplus in the last year of this parliament. We think that plan requires what you might politely call an ambitious cut to borrowing in a pre-election year – although time will tell. He would have been better advised to focus on a plan for increasing productivity, the collapse in which is the underlying drive of the fiscal problem he now faces. That's the real challenge facing us as a country.

Where are you? the phone asks. I'm right here, thinks Mike. That's a silly question. A better question is did you forget to catch your flight to Austin? But the calendar has Mike in Austin tomorrow, not today. Mike's calendar is only partially right.
Looking at the airline ticket confirms he was supposed to leave today. Even the April email from his boss says Saturday. Mike forgot to update the calendar and the calendar isn't smart enough to know Mike entered the wrong day. With today's technology, should the calendar be smarter?
Mike thinks yes, especially the next day when he's sitting in a local diner thinking how his calendar failed him and how he failed his calendar.
Mike could be better at paying attention and confirming key pieces of information in his calendar. Which is ironic because he is usually the detail guy. He puts everything in his calendars which he has for each group he is a part of. He uses his reminder list religiously and has tested out many options of tools. He is the biggest proponent to task management in his company and tracks every minute of every project. Yet he failed when it came down to getting to Austin.
Can we rely on technology more for this detail work?
Does it scare you to trust your details are known by a computer?
Getting all the data in there, learning a system, wanting customizations to the system are all challenges. But the wetware is the most challenging.
The airline ticket could be tied to Mike and alert him when he should have left the house. But it wasn't. His boss made the effort to get the ticket for Mike. So Mike didn't get any system alerts until it was too late. The alert he did get was from a human. At that point he had missed the flight and more so missed the week in Austin.


Mary Philpotts McGrath's rendition of the English garden is perfectly suited for Hawai'i.
As Honolulu grows, the size of its gardens seems to shrink. House lots are smaller and condominium towers are better suited to young professionals, part-time residents and older couples wanting to downsize. No one seems to have the time or finances to support the upkeep of an English garden reinterpreted in tropical terms. This being true, a visit to interior designer Mary Philpotts McGrath's Nu'uanu home is always special—a nostalgic reminder of an earlier, perhaps more gracious time.
"A garden influences your whole psyche. It nourishes you and the reflection of all the color, light and sound leaves you feeling healthy and at peace," says McGrath, as she sits at a handcrafted dining table (one of two in the house) looking out at the soaring monkeypod, puakenikeni and eucalyptus trees in her back garden. Below is the sound of rushing water from Nu'uanu Stream. It's a house filled with birds, dogs and the constant visits of family and friends.
The garden has the maturity of an old public garden such as Foster Botanical Garden or the Lyon Arboretum. The old trees are laden with tree ferns and orchids, making the house surprisingly quiet in the middle of a populated neighborhood.
"Nu'uanu has always had a heavy influence on those who came here. The cooler climate is why the ali'i were drawn to the area," she says, reminding us that Queen Emma and Kamehameha III liked to spend time in Nu'uanu. There is an abrupt weather change, she points out, right below the Summer Palace where light drizzle turns abruptly to sunny and dry.
Mary and her late husband, John McGrath, purchased the house in the early 1990s. At that time the large front lawn was dominant, as were the shade trees. But the density of tropical growth did not exist. John, newly retired, found he loved gardening. He set about adding to it his passion for different varieties of colored ti plants and begonias. An auwai, once used by Hawaiians of old to irrigate crops, ran through the front yard. It added a primary feature of the classic English garden—a large lawn sloping to a water feature.
Mary envisioned the density of an- other garden she loved on Old Pali Road where she spent much of her childhood. A close friend lived at the old Marks estate nearby and in those places she learned a reverence for plants and the value of gardens—even if they're only viewed from out a window.
Classical gardens often have a touch of fantasy. Mary and John added a pavilion which was used as a garage, but regularly turned into a set for annual Halloween extravaganzas she staged to which the entire neighborhood was invited. For years, it was also the scene of weddings and parties. The pavilion, an open structure with a Hawaiian "hip roof," also sheltered garden workshops during the holidays.
The storage room above is filled with the ephemera Mary uses when decorating and entertaining.
Years after moving to the home, their neighbor, the late artist Peggy Chun, became ill. Chun had in a whimsical moment purchased a small Bali house. But now, consumed by her health problems, was at a loss as to what to do with it. She asked Mary to take it off her hands, which she did. It is now tucked into a corner of her back garden on an elevated lawn enclosed by an old retaining wall. The Bali House creates an exotic illusion in the contained space, a place for afternoon tea or a quiet talk. From there a garden path zigzags down a slope into the stream.
Essential for a garden like this are the weathered antique urns, Chinese pots, garden stools and outdoor furniture Mary has either inherited from her parents or the house's former owners. Sundials and bird baths are nestled into corners and mossy fountains gurgle. A large private garden such as this re- quires enormous upkeep from both the owner and hired gardeners.
But Mary loves the density for the privacy it provides and the reduced light intrusion from the street. She points out the colors of the garden come not from flowers, but from the varied foliage choices such as rare ti plants, different varieties of bromeliads, bougainvillea, ferns and other colored vegetation. She uses this vegetation in arrangements throughout the house so that even though you are inside, the garden enters the home.
She marvels at the observation talent of the home's architect, the legendary Hart Wood. "He must have spent a lot of time on this property before he designed it," she says, pointing to a wall where most would have placed a window. But instead the architect knew where the pali breezes would hit the house. Windows are lower than most, recognizing that most people inside are seated. He allows them to view the garden from that position.
Mary can't help but wonder what will become of the garden when she no longer lives there. It's already documented in the Smithsonian Institution's archives of tropical gardens in Washington D. C. She'd loved to see it cared for and enjoyed by others. In the meantime, the designer is spending more time on her art and printmaking. True to form, she's using the plant material from the garden to influence what she creates.

Review: The Originals, Episode 1.01 "Always and Forever" – Emotionally-charged and better than I anticipated.
An occasional writer with a serious entertainment addiction and a Netflix solution. Currently watching: The Fosters, Arrow, Gilmore Girls, Outlander, and Shameless.
The long-awaited Vampire Diaries spinoff, titled The Originals (named in honor of the Original family of vampires), made it's debut Thursday night. From the first scene, my immediate impression – similar, I'm sure, to those with knowledge of vampire pop culture – was an immediate reminder of Anne Rice's vampires, who happened to start have their own story set in the same city around the same period.
Whether or not that was the intention, this certainly alerted viewers that this was not to be confused with The Originals' teen drama sister-show The Vampire Diaries. The Originals has been hyped up as a more mature, adult version of Vampire Diaries, and they wasted no time in making good on that promise. Though the show differs in tone, the show unfortunately shares The Vampire Diaries' dark look. (Don't let these screencaps fool you: every scene could use a bit more lighting, just for the sake of viewers' eyes.)
The episode was well-paced. The goal of a pilot episode is to present a compelling story that brings viewers up to speed on the tone of the show and adequately introduces the central characters in the story – in addition to giving viewers a feel for the relationships and personalities of these new characters. A common method of accomplishing this in one episode is to have characters' internal dialogues through voice-overs. In this case, hearing Elijah narrate the story, viewers really got to better understand the elder, classier Original sibling.
Showing his strong propensity for morality and doing the right thing, particularly when it comes to family, he refuses to give up on his little half-brother or his unborn child – even though Klaus clearly establishes himself as being reluctant to accept any assistance or interference from anyone, regardless of familial relations. The two brothers have several scenes together, each one highly charged with anger, guilt, and a familiarity that can only come from two people having known each other so well for so long.
As I know several of the characters, being a Vampire Diaries fan, I can't really comment on how well the writers did introducing the Original family along with all the new characters. As far as I am concerned, the episode seems to have done a good job introducing them without overwhelming new viewers. I don't believe new viewers would have a difficult time keeping up and, even more importantly, I think even first-time viewers can easily understand the siblings' relationships with each other.
Easily the most compelling new character is Marcel, the undisputed ruler of New Orleans' supernatural world. Charles Michael Davis really shines in this role, and easily stands out with his commanding presence – which is essential when you are expecting viewers to buy that one lone person is able to hold such a complex and well-known supernatural city without contest.
There was some struggle in the episode with establishing any strong female characters. With it being a show about the Original family, it is expected that Rebekah should take on that role, but her character was on the backburner for this first episode. Another contender seems to be the witch Sophie, but some of her lines felt forced, as though actress Daniella Pineda didn't yet quite have a good grasp of her character.
Making New Orleans the setting of this supernatural drama makes sense, though it arguably adds to the pressure to make this show a success. As New Orleans is synonymous with both supernatural occurrences and parties that cater to the 21+ crowd, it shouldn't be a surprise that viewers will expect the writers and director to properly showcase that element. With this episode, the background is classically New Orleans, but it will be interesting to see if they will give viewers a glimpse into the New Orleans life that isn't as touristy.
While we are on the subject of classic New Orleans, in an interesting choice – or possibly simply an oversight – not a single one of the New Orleans residents so far have had a New Orleans, or even remotely southern, accent. Whether accidental or intentional, it does detract from the New Orleans authenticity. However, considering the disaster that is the True Blood actors' attempts at Louisianian accents [in addition to the variety of accents already at play, both on screen and behind the scenes], I am going to consider it a plus.
Overall, the episode was compelling, emotional, and shocking enough to keep the attention of the CW's target demographic. Only time will tell if this show will manage to live up to the fame of The Vampire Diaries, but I think it's safe to say The Originals is certainly off to a good start.

addressed in this revision. The revisions preserve some consumer protections but also will facilitate the banking industry and in particular smaller banks' ability to comply with the rules. An effective date of October 28, 2013 was set to allow providers of international transfers sufficient time to adapt to the new rules.
The original iteration of Reg E required providers of international money transfers such as community banks to disclose to their consumer customers fees related to the provider, its agents, any foreign taxes and fees of the receiving institution that would be charged. It is almost impossible for a provider on one side of a transaction to know the fees being imposed by the other side in order to disclose them. As a result, this part of the rule would have made it quite difficult for banks other than the largest global banks or Western Union to continue to take part in the international business. The new revisions to the rules address this by making the disclosure of foreign taxes and of fees imposed by a recipient institution that is not the provider's agent optional. Providers must include a disclaimer that other fees and taxes may apply, but calculating the numbers to the penny has disappeared.
Another concern over the original rule was over errors that inevitably occur in international money transfers due to a customer providing an incorrect account number or similar information. In the original version of the rule, the bank was responsible and bore the cost even if the error was not the bank's fault. In the revised rule, the bank is required to attempt to recover the funds sent with incorrect information, but it is not required to return the funds if the error was a result of incorrect information provided by the customer (unless the bank is able to collect the funds). These revisions reinforce the ability of community banks to continue to help customers with international wire transfers without all of the risks of the original version.
Regular readers of the Banc Investment Daily know that we have followed this issue with a lot of interest since the rules first came out in February of 2012. It's not just because PCBB is a provider of international services to community banks, but is driven by the fact we strongly feel international transfers are a real area of opportunity for community banks. Banks can provide services that customers want and need in this global world, as they earn fee income and meet customer requirements.
It is clear from yesterday's statement following the FOMC meeting and from continuing economic trends, that we are likely to be in a low interest rate environment for some time. This has created a real challenge for community banks; given about 80% to 90% of earnings tend to be interest rate dependent. The world is getting smaller and your customers require sophisticated services including international transfers.
If your bank doesn't offer international services yet and you want to know how to do it, give us a shout and we will show you how easy it can be to get started. As with every service we offer, making sure the regulatory part is taken care of up front is our first priority.
The FOMC said nothing unexpected following the meeting, but yields fell 3bp anyway as the ongoing bond purchase program reinforced the sluggish economy's need for continued support.
This morning's drop in jobless claims has given yields a 1bp lift so far.
Research by BT finds 23% of customers say the tool they most want their bank to offer is live chat for smartphones.
Deloitte reports the top 2 reasons people say they switched banks after an acquisition were emotional (36%), competitive offer (17%), account servicing (12%), fees (10%) and convenience (9%).
A survey by the Financial Brand that asked 300 financial institutions their priority of marketing products and services found the top 5 were mobile banking solutions (63%), auto loans (59%), mortgage loans (58%), home equity (51%) and credit cards (51%).
Banks wondering when loan opportunities should surface may be pleased to note a survey by Deloitte of executives at Fortune 1000 companies. It found 63% said their company saw revenue rise in the prior 24 months vs. only 32% who said that in 2010. Hopefully loan demand is just around the corner.
A Capital One poll finds 87% of those ages 12 to 17 say they know at least an average amount about finances. That is interesting because the same poll found 24% think a debit card is used to borrow cash. Maybe your bank should have a teen awareness session to bring in parents and capture new customers.
Banks should note a survey by Hearts & Wallets finds 40% of those who built savings equal to 10x pay did so by saving 15% of their incomes or more for at least 10Ys. This may be one way for banks to help clients set and track goals in order to fund loans.

how can i do this?
RuleEntity

tnx

A: ok Dudes, i find it :)
select r.ruleName from RuleEntity r JOIN r.relatedRules rr where rr.ruleName = 'myRule'
